Synopsis: Tripp (Patrick Dempsey) walks into a bank to get some change and ends up as a hostage to two bank robber-teams, robbing the bank he is at. In an almost Sherlock Holmesian way he has to solve this Agatha Christie inspired mystery and win the girl's (Ashley Judd) heart. But not everything is at it seems, and there are many twists and turns in this comedy.

-it's over.

We need that to bust the clutch, yeah?

Yeah, well, I need it to cut my way out.

Don't f*** me over here, right, 'cause

I wanna stay here and do this bank.

The bank job is a bust!

It's not a f***ing bust. Listen to me, all right.

Me and you sitting on a desert island

somewhere, "sucky-sucky, 5 dollar,"

lots of birds, all that sort of sh*t.

Think about it.

It's a good f***ing option for you, mate.

I'm getting the f*** out of here.

Oh, look, Darrien, come on, mate.

You blow the f***...

Darrien! Come on, man.

The bolts are retracted. It's just a motor left.

-This will drastically...

-Get the f*** off me!

Look this will drastically

affect your rankings, mate.

That's all I'm f***ing saying, all right.

And I thought you people had balls!

You're a f***ing disgrace

to black criminals everywhere!

F*** you.

Sh*t! F***ing sh*t!

GATES:
I know tonight's been

a complete and utter f***-up.

But not any more! No, no.

Now there is only one robbery team,

the three of us.

Hey, can we be Mystic Lightning?

No, you can't be f***ing Mystic Lightning,

you muppet.

(GRUNTING)

No more bathroom breaks.

No more perks, no more cushy treatment.

This sh*t just got really f***ing real!

And because there is now only one army,

there is now only one general.

Me, all right? I'm the f***ing general.

I'm in complete control.

Nothing happens here without me saying so,

all right?

(SCREAMING)

(ALL SCREAM)

Oh, f***ing come on.

Honestly, I don't know why I f***ing bother.

Now go on, take the hostages

up the office. Go on.

Go on.

All right, everybody, you heard the man.

Come on, come on, get moving.

Everybody up the stairs. Let's go, let's go.

Did you rig his blowtorch?

No, I f***ing didn't. And I suppose

you wankers didn't either, right?

Nope.

So what's next? Do we start with the vault

or do we kill all the hostages?

Oh, uh, definitely the vault.

We find that having hostages around

can be real handy.

You can use them as human shields,

or they can fetch stuff for you, like

-bags of money or snacks.

-Fine.

All right, we start with the vault

on one condition.

When the time comes to do 'em,

I get to do 'em all.

Yeah?

Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.

We ain't really into mass murder.

But if that's part of your MO.,

that's totally cool with us.

All right, let's do it.

Yeah? Come on, let's get to work.

(SIGHS)

You okay?

Oh, I'm great. This is so much better

than flying first class,

drinking champagne, going to my wedding.

If you could walk out of the bank

with the money, would you still need Max?

Oh, God. Seriously, Tripp,

you have got to let this go.

I can't let anything go. I'm obsessive.

If you had the money,

would you still need Max?

Yes, I would.

-What, to open the door for you?

-Sure.

-To cuddle you at night?

-I'm not so big on cuddling.

Take you to Mom and Dad for the weekend?

-My mom happens to love him.

-You know what the problem is?

Everybody says money can't buy happiness,

but nobody actually believes it.

Tripp, your persistence is touching.

It really is.

But at 5:
00 a.m. I walk out of here

and go back to Max.

So you're saying I have until 5:00 a.m.

No! That is not what I'm saying.

GATES:
Now, since the torch is blown,

we'll use a controlled blast

with your C-4 on the clutch there.

Oh, we all about the controlled blast.

Yeah, that'd be a nice change of pace.

And I just want you lads to know that

I'm not just using you for your explosives.

Oh, we ain't thought that.

Just go and check on that now.

-Ro-sham-bo?

-Okay.

But no pee, no sneak attacks,

no dynamite, no Apache helicopters,

-and no nuclear weapons.

-Just go and check on them, all right?

And kill whoever's up there.

Dang! He always throws scissors.

Why do I go with paper? Why, Jelly?

Why do you always go with paper? You know

he's going with scissors. Go with rock.

Yo.

Hello.

Anybody in here?

Hmm?

Hey, man.

I know you're in here.

I don't wanna shoot you, Tripp. Okay?

I just...

I just wanna rob banks.

And I don't know what's happening any more.

With the heist?

Yeah with the... With the heist.

With everything.

I should be the happiest guy in the world

right now.

I got a great job. I work with my best friend.

The hours, they're ideal.

But we never had to shoot people before,

you know?

We never had to kill anybody before.

Man, can you please just come out of there?

You know, it's weird saying all this stuff

to a photocopier.

-Look, I am not trying to be negative, okay?

-Okay.

It's... All I'm saying is

maybe I'm not good at robbing banks,

you know?

Maybe this is not what Jesus put me

on this earth to do.

I mean, my grandfather, he sold moonshine

My father was a repeat sex offender.

I mean, being a criminal is in my blood.

But between you and me,

it's always been my dream

to work in a water park.

I hear you.

You know, for whatever it's worth,

I think you're a really great bank robber.

-You mean that?

-Mmm-hmm.

I mean, you're not just saying that

'cause I got a gun pointed at your dick?

No, no. Listen. Nothing that has gone wrong

here tonight is your fault.

You're being sabotaged.

Here, look. Look at this. Easy.

-I'm gonna show you something. See?

-Hey!

Hey, where'd you...

Oh, man, where'd you get those?

I stole these from your suitcase earlier.

But listen.

Look, watch. Even with...

Even with a foreign bandwidth interference,

the detonator should work. Watch.

Nothing. Who modified this for you?

-Our point man. Are you okay?

-No. Who's your point man?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure

I'm not supposed to tell you that.

Whoever modified these is trying to kill you.

It's either your point man or...

-How well do you know Peanut Butter?

-Hey, bro!

Me and Peanut Butter, we're like brothers,

you understand me?

-Yeah! Yeah!

-No, actually my brother is a prick.

Me and Peanut Butter are like a couple of

best-friend gay dudes in a bathtub.

That's how f***ing tight we are. Okay?

Look. There's a lot of money at play.

You have to look at all the angles.

You know, he did know about that freezer

even though we had never been

in that kitchen.

Then again, it is a kitchen.

-Touch.

-Who's your point man?

Look at me, man. I'm a f***ing mess.

You can trust me. Who's your point man?

All right, fine, here. There. Look at it.

Name's Vicellous Drum. We never met him.

But his cheques cleared

and his info was straight.

Never saw a face, just a fax.

Is getting a fax normal?

(SCOFFS) Yeah, yeah, you think

everybody'd be into the e-mail, right?

Nah, see. The cops,

they got a million ways to track that stuff,

but they kind of skipped

on the anti-fax technology.

You know? Plus, it... Everybody likes

the convenience of a hard copy.

KAITLIN:
I don't mean to frighten you,

but do you think there could be something

to this conspiracy theory?

(WHISPERING) Well, I don't wanna...

I don't wanna impugn anyone's character,

but the other night

I caught Rex measuring the vault.
