Rita Miller.

- Who?

- What?

Tell her Rita Miller!

Rita Miller.

Didn't they have

you sign a card

when you opened the account?

Tell her Carl Bruner opened it for you

by phone and asked you to come in today.

You see, Carl Bruner, he opened

it for me by phone, that account

- and he's asked me to come in today.

- I see.

- Is that right?

- Yeah.

All right. Just sign this card

on the bottom line, please.

May I use your pen?

Thank you so much.

No! No! No!

Rita Miller!

I'm so sorry.

You know, I...

I need another one.

I signed the wrong name.

Now tell her to make shure it

goes straight up to the third floor file

since you have a

transaction to make.

Please make shure this goes

right up to the third floor file

because I have a

transfusion to make.

What?

Let's go.

You know what I mean.

Can I keep this pen?

Yes, sure.

Thank you so much.

Bye-bye.

I love these pens.

What do you want

to keep the pen for?

Carl Bruner speaking.

Hi, Carl.

Mr. Balistrari?

Balistrari?

Carl it's me, John.

John... Sorry!

What's up?

I've got the info

on the Bradleyportfolio.

All right, OK, look I'm...

I'll just pick it up

later, all right?

I'll be here till six.

Good.

This is it.

I couldn't talk you into losing the hat?

Keep messing with me,

you'll be here by yourself.

Tell the guard you're

here to see Lyle Ferguson.

Hi. I'm here to see

Lyle Ferguson, please.

Do you have

an appointment?

No, I'm here

for my health.

Don't say that!

Tell him Rita Miller's here.

You just tell him

Rita Miller's here.

Just one moment, please.

- Don't embellish.

- Jawohl.

Excuse me?

Now listen, this guy

Furgeson's a real jerk.

I've known him for five years

and he still thinks my name's...

- Why are you whispering?

- Just be quiet and listen.

He's a social moron, so

you don't have anything to worry about.

Just tell the guard

Ferguson knows you.

You spent time with

him and his wife Shirley

at the Brewster's

Christmas party last year.

What is this in regards to?

What?

He doesn't remember me?

Oh, we spent all that time

at the Brewster's Christmas party

last year. He and his lovely wife, Shirley.

It was beautiful.

A big old tree and thousands

of presents everywhere...

Gas.

I get a little gas from

time to time. That's all.

Gas.

Quit poking me!

Don't overdo it!

Now listen, this'll be easy.

Furgeson was so drunk at that party

he could have had a conversation

with Tina Turner and he wouldn't remember.

Oh, Sam.

Here we go.

Hello. Hello.

Yes. Of course, yes.

Well, it's been a long time.

- Oh, a long time.

- Ask how Bobby and Snooky are doing.

By the way, how are

Bobby and Snooky doing?

Fine... fine.

Thank you.

Thank you for asking.

And how is your...

family?

Oh, couldn't be better!

Well, wonderful.

Tell him you've been wondering

how they did on the Gibraltar securities.

I was just wondering, how did you

do on the Gibraltar Securities?

The Gibraltar Securities?

Well, it looks like we

topped out on that one.

We sure did.

We sure did!

That was a very useful tip.

- Good old Randy.

- Good old Randy! Got a good old

head on his shoulders.

- Her shoulders.

- Her shoulders!

Her shoulders.

Randy.

So, what...

What brings you here today?

- You're closing an account.

- I'm closing an account.

Wonderful.

Do you have your account number?

- Yes?

- Yes.

- Yes!

Is that right?

- Yeah.

- Good.

Well, Rita - it looks like

you'll be withdrawing

four million dollars

from us today.

Four million dollars!

Say "yes". Say "yes"!

Is that correct?

- Yes.

- Yes. Yes, Yes!

Yes. That's correct.

Well, how would

you like that?

- Tens and twenties?

- Pardon?

A cashier's cheque.

Tell him a cashier's cheque.

I think better a

cashier's cheque.

A cashier's cheque.

Fine!

Well. Of course, you know

we require identification.

- I see. Yes, yes!

- It's just a procedural thing.

Thank you.

Well, I'll be right back.

Four million dollars!

Get me the First lsland Bank

of Nassau. It's on the Rolodex.

We have some things

for you to sign here.

This officially closes

the account.

Sign "Rita Miller."

Miller.

That's my name.

My name - Rita Miller.

My name.

My name.

Molly, hi.

Hi.

Oda Mae,

I'll be right back.

Just anywhere?

Right here.

Fine.

The cheque.

Here you are.

Mama took the money that

she maid in the oil well

and she sunk it into gas pumps.

You know, every gas station has 'em.

And those gas stations

have five or six of those things,

so it's very lucrative.

- Oda Mae...

- It really adds up.

Oda Mae, we've got

to go, say goodbye.

Well, got to go now.

It's been a pleasure doing business with you.

A real pleasure.

Now may I keep the pen?

Say goodnight to

Bobby and Snooky for me.

Bye-bye.

Why are you pushing me?

What is wrong?

Excuse me - Lyle?

Oh, yes er...

Molly. Jensen.

The woman you were

just doing business with.

- Yeah?

- What did she want?

I mean, did it have

anything to do with me or Sam?

Sam? No.

That was Oda Mae

Brown, right?

No, her name was Rita Miller.

And she was closing an account.

Is there a problem?

No. I guess not.

Thank you.

Carl?

Something wrong?

Did somebody play

with the computers?

What?

One of my accounts is closed.

Which account?

What's wrong?

You want me

to call someone?

No, it's OK.

I can do it.

I got it.

Four million dollars!

Oh, my God!

What am I going to do with this money?

You know, I'm gonna buy the building.

No, no, wait.

I'm gonna buy the block.

I'm gonna make my sister go to a fat farm

- ...cause she is way too...

- No, wait.

- Yeah, I'm gonna buy the building...

- Wait, Oda Mae. I've got an idea.

- Take the cheque out of your purse.

- You're right, you're right.

I should take it out,

I should put it

- ...where nobody can get it.

- No.

Endorse it.

No, if I endorse it,

and then if I drop it

- then somebody will get it. No, I just...

- It's not your money.

I never said you

gonna get the money.

This is blood money.

I was killed for this money.

Now endorse the cheque.

But Sam, what are

you gonna do with it?

Look over there.

To your left.

No, you don't think I'm giving these 4

million dollars to a bunch of nuns.

Oda Mae, if you don't do it,

they will track you down.

Your only protection

is to get rid of it.

Oh Sam, come on, you're killing me!

It's 4 million dollars!

Just think of it this way.

You'll go to heaven.

I don't want to

go to heaven.

I want to go to a bank and

cash the goddam cheque.

- Hello.

- You'll thank me later.

How are you doing.

- Endorse it "Rita Miller."

- I know!

Make it out to

St. Joseph's Shelter.

I don't believe

you're making me do this.

Give it to her.

Well, I just want to feel it

one more time in my fingers.

Just give the

lady the cheque.

I will!

Hand her the cheque.

You can do it.

- Give her cheque!

- I will!

Bless you, child.

Bless you.

Give to.

Let go!

I'm proud of you, Oda Mae.

You know Sam, I don't care if you proud of me.
