Fun with Dick and Jane Page #8

Synopsis: Manager Dick Harper and his attractive young wife Jane are used to a comfortable lifestyle. They just build a swimming-pool when Dick is fired very unexpectedly - leaving him with $70,000 debt on the house. They try to hide this from the neighbors and just cut down their expenses, but soon it's obvious: living from unemployment bonus drives them crazy, it's uncertain if they can keep the house. Dick doesn't see another way out than robbing drug stores - but this takes more skill than expected! Only as a team Dick and Jane can succeed.

straight-out like that.

But I'm just sick of all the bullshit,

you know what I mean?

How do you propose

to get out of here?

- With your help, Charlie.

- My help?

Do you see that big dude over there?

He can shoot the eye out

of a hummingbird at 50 paces.

Charlie, we just called the cops.

- We're gonna give ourselves up.

- This is no joke, friends.

- We're gonna make a clean breast of it.

- Don't be stupid.

You keep your mouth shut,

and I'll see that you get out of here.

With the money?

You son of a b*tch.

Officers, I'm Charles Blanchard.

I'm the president of Taft Aerospace.

Maybe I can be of help.

Dear, you've just seen a demonstration

of what we in the corporate world...

...refer to as

"hardballing it with the big guys."

I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Would you be embarrassed

if I kissed you in a public place?

I'd be embarrassed if you kissed me

in a private place...

...with all these people around.

I'm afraid, officer, that you've been

a victim of a drunken prankster...

...but if you'd excuse me for one minute,

this young lady isn't feeling very well.

I'm sorry.

If I could get these two out of here,

I'd feel a lot better. Run along.

Now we can talk about that

ridiculous story about my safe.

- Jane...

- Come along, Jane. Come along.
