Well, that's all for now.

As ever, John."

Just think,

Amel's golden wedding anniversary.

September 26th, huh?

- That's a good day.

- Yeah.

Maybe we'll make it.

- What can I do for you?

- Like to buy a barrel of cement.

I'm sorry, but we only sell wholesale.

I'm doing a little home gardening.

I'd like to buy one barrel for my lily pond.

I'm sorry, it's company policy.

I don't make the rules.

I'd like to help you, but...

But...

But...

Well, we occasionally

accommodate somebody...

...who might make a good customer.

Where do you want it sent?

- I'll take it with me. Give me a hand.

- Sure.

The white cross.

White cross.

The white cross.

- Where'd this truck come from?

- I never saw it before.

Hey, come here and get a load of this.

- Holy smoke.

- Looks we got here just in time.

- Yeah.

- Come on, let's take it back.

Oh, boy, what'll they

think of stealing next?

- Come on, give me a hand with this thing.

- Okay.

What a guy will go through

to steal a barrel of cement.

You two guys get

those tools over there.

Today's the 26th. Nothing's happened.

- I told you he was a phony. I told you.

- Shut up.

The white cross.

We gotta watch for a white cross.

There ain't no white cross.

All we got is a double-cross.

Your pal, huh?

- What are we going to do?

- Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open.

Hey, heads up down there!

Why don't you eat?

- Who can eat?

- It ain't bad.

Why you keep looking at the sun

all the time for?

- There isn't much more time.

- I told you, I told you.

- It's all yours, Max.

- Okay.

Unload it, boys.

Hey!

Pick that shovel up

and put it down right.

Yes, sir.

Kirk, Doc, get up there.

This is it.

We'll take it up again.

What did you put that barrel back for?

All right, boys.

Calling all cars, calling all cars,

be on the lookout for a black sedan.

Bandits heavily armed.

They got us pegged. They got us.

- It was bound to happen.

- We're pulling too many jobs.

That's it, we're pulling too many jobs.

It was that assistant cashier.

He spotted us.

I could have taken care of him,

if you hadn't stopped me.

You're a little too free

with the gun, John.

That's a matter of opinion.

Around here my opinion

is the only one that counts.

Any objections?

Satisfied?

Now, our next job

is the Farmers National.

Farmers National? You nuts?

- That's pretty tough.

- It's full of guards. You can't get near it.

It's around the corner from the joint

we cracked yesterday.

That's just why I picked it.

They'll never expect

lightning to strike twice.

That's great thinking, Specs.

Yeah. Yeah.

Now, one of us has got to case the bank,

you understand?

Since the four of us

have been identified...

...it's expedient for us to keep

out of sight as much as possible.

So that more or less

throws it in your lap, John.

Smile, John.

That's better.

Well, there's nothing further we can do

until John returns with his report.

So let's relax.

- How about a little game?

- Table stakes?

- Okay by me.

- Deal up.

- Deal you in, John?

- Not tonight.

- Where you going?

- Out.

Be careful.

Why? Nobody's looking for me.

I told you he was a fresh punk.

Well, he'll learn.

Where you going, honey?

If you'd have been another minute,

I'd have been gone.

Where are we going?

Oh, there's a little place on the other side

of town I'd like to visit again.

- Why did you pick this place?

- Oh, I was here once before.

- What happened?

- Oh, I left some unfinished business.

Yeah, what'll it be?

Remember me?

No.

Three beers.

That'll be 6 bits.

I don't think I can change this, sir.

That's all right. Keep it.

Thank you, sir.

- Why three beers?

- We're gonna have company.

I don't see anyone.

You will.

- Who gets this one?

- You.

- Me?

- Sure, come on, sit down, join us.

Many happy returns.

Wait in the car.

I said, wait in the car.

Well, here's looking at you.

You don't remember me, do you?

- No, sir.

- I was in here a long time ago.

Couldn't pay for a couple of drinks.

You wouldn't cash my check.

You called me a two-bit chiseler.

Mr. Graham, a gentleman

wants to see you.

Have a chair.

Well, young man, what can I do for you?

- Well, I'd like to get a little information.

- Oh, I see.

This pamphlet will give you

a statement...

...of our financial condition

as of the last fiscal year.

Well, I was thinking

of opening an account.

Oh. Oh, I see.

Well, you can rest assured that

your money will be perfectly safe here.

That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

You see, I've got a big deposit to make...

...and with all these bank robberies...

- We've never been robbed.

- Now, believe me, Mr.?

- Peters. Walter Peters.

Oh, yes, Mr. Peters.

Believe me, your money will

be absolutely safe in this bank.

Come, let me show you around.

You see, Mr. Peters, these windows

are all constructed of bulletproof glass.

They extend to the bottom of the cage.

All monies must be slid in and out

through the groove.

This makes it impossible

for a thief on the outside...

...to point a gun at a teller

on the inside.

- That's a good idea.

- And as an added precaution...

...there's a button at the foot

of each teller.

These buttons close the front door...

...sealing off the only avenue of escape.

They're also connected

with the police department.

Within two minutes, the bank

will be entirely surrounded.

Hey, that's a good idea too.

Now I'd like to show you the vault.

No threat of any kind from the outside

could force that door open...

...because we installed

the latest tear-gas unit.

In addition to the automatic burglar alarm,

we have a large number of armed guards...

...all of whom, incidentally,

are pretty good marksmen.

So you see, Mr. Peters,

the bank is absolutely impregnable.

Yep, you got quite a little place here.

Now, do you want to open

a checking or a savings account?

I don't know yet. I'd like to bring

the missus around tomorrow.

Very well, then. Until tomorrow.

- Quit eating them grapes.

- There's no use arguing about it.

I've thought this over a long time.

That's the way I see it.

- It's suicide, that's what it is.

- Shut up!

A shipment of $80,000 in cash arriving

at the Farmers National Bank tomorrow.

- We can't afford to pass it up.

- You heard what John said.

Will you shut up?

- Was there a back door?

- No.

The alarm system operates on electricity,

doesn't it?

Of course.

I thought of cutting the main cable, but

it would operate on the battery system.

- Maybe we better pass it up.

- No, there must be some way.

I guess we'll have to get

some outside help.

See if anybody's using the telephone.

- It's okay.

- Fine, thanks.

Hello. Hello, Louie? This is Specs, Louie.

Now, listen, I'm doing

a big construction job tomorrow...

...and I can use three of your men.

Yeah, the usual rate.

No, no, no, I'll call you back.

- That's the way I see it.

- That's swell.

- It's a beauty.

- Gotta hand it to you, John.
