start pushing that money

through them windows.

You've got to be kidding.

That's better.

No nonsense, and no one gets hurt.

What does his secretary got to do with it?

I don't know....

You.

I'm talking to you, both of you.

Get over there. Sit down.

Come on, get over there. That's better.

Now, just sit tight,

and don't get any bright ideas.

You got me?

-What?

-Nothing. Help me fill up the bag.

Put it all in here. That's it.

That's it, both hands. Attagirl.

Keep going. Good.

Right there, that big bundle.

Good, you did a nice job.

Tell your boss to give you a raise.

Thought we were kidding?

Let's go. Help him.

That's it. Help him.

Good. Let's go.

Right there. Put it all in.

That's it. Right. Good.

Good. Love your hairdo.

Now, I want all of you to lie down also.

And make it snappy.

You, too. Down.

Guess that's it. Let's get out of here.

Okay, let's go.

Here you go. Keep the change.

I've got the tokens already.

Here, open this bag.

That's it.

Will you help me?

Come on.

Forget it.

Here, throw this in there.

-Put that in.

-Okay.

Will you get back here?

How much yours come to?

I got $11,518.

What did yours come to?

$9,821.

-Willie?

-$14,216.

Geronimo.

$14,216.

That's five....

$35,555.

Should have hit the safe, too.

We were right there.

First thing we got to do

is change our clothes...

and get rid of all this cash.

We can't keep it around here.

If they find out who we are,

they'll tear this place to pieces.

Listen, I got an old suitcase

I keep at Pete and Kathy's.

There'll be room enough in there

for all this.

-Does it got a lock on it?

-It's got a lock on it.

But you know Pete and Kathy

never go through my stuff anyways.

What do you think, Willie? You all right?

Yeah.

If you fellows think it'll be safe there,

it's all right with me.

All right.

I ought to get going.

-You sure you're all right?

-Yeah.

I think the excitement

must have upset my stomach a little.

Should we get you

some Alka-Seltzer or something?

No, fresh air will take care of it.

Not too long after

they opened their doors this morning...

the Union Marine Bank

on 36th and Broadway in Manhattan...

Listen.

... was robbed by three masked gunmen,

who made off with over $50,000 in cash.

However, the thing that makes

this bank robbery a little different...

from the usual bank robbery...

is that these bank robbers

were a little different.

Eyewitnesses at the scene....

-All done. Pete didn't....

-Listen to this.

...all three gunmen

were well into their 70s.

The Gray Panthers, a lobbyist organization

for senior citizens ' rights...

do point out that the incident dramatizes

what the Panthers call:

"A woeful inadequacy

of the current government programs...

"that attempt to deal with the elderly. "

There is confusion today over

the newest Labor Department figures....

-We're famous.

-Did everything go all right?

-Perfect.

-Good.

Pete didn't miss the guns or nothing.

The money is locked

in one of my suitcases...

stashed way in the back

of one of his closets.

Well, that's that.

Yeah. Could you let me

talk to Mr. Bender, please?

Joe Harris.

Bender? Joe Harris. Yeah.

Okay, listen, I'm down here...

at the Queensborough Hospital with Al...

and Willie just died.

Yeah. No, just like that.

The doctor says his heart just gave out.

Anyways, could you send somebody

down here to pick him up?

Me and Al will come over in a little while

and settle all the arrangements with you.

Yeah. Let's do it up nice this time, okay?

To hell with the social security.

We're gonna be taking care of it.

Yeah, cash, Bender, don't worry.

Right. See you in a little while.

Al, are you okay?

-Yeah.

-Hi, Joe.

We heard about Willie.

Jesus. We feel terrible.

Yeah.

We got so worried.

We kept calling, but nobody answered.

Listen, we want you to come over

to our house for a couple of days.

Let us take care of you till

this whole thing's over, what do you say?

It'd be great, Al. You can relax

and fool around with the kids.

Help you take your mind off of things.

-You think so, Joe?

-Yeah.

Yeah, come on.

Stop being a baby. Go ahead.

Okay.

I'll go up and get some clothes.

You got the clothes you left

when you sat for the kids.

Yeah, come on, Al.

-You gonna be all right, Joe?

-Go ahead. Don't bother.

I'll be fine.

We've got plenty of room...

and the kids love playing with you, too,

you know that.

Thanks, Pete, but I'd kind of

like to be alone tonight anyways.

You go ahead and take care of your uncle.

I'll be all right.

Okay.

-We'll see you later on then.

-Okay.

If you change your mind

or you need anything, just give us a call.

-You got our number?

-Yeah, I got it upstairs. Good night.

Good night.

Jesus Christ.

Crying and pissing in your pants

like a three-month-old baby.

I guess the whole goddamn cycle

is complete now.

What a day this was gonna be.

-How's my little bunny rabbit?

-Good.

-Your mommy and daddy here?

-Yeah.

-You gonna say hello to my friend?

-Yeah.

-You remember his name?

-Yeah.

-What's his name?

-Joe.

That's right, sugar plum. Say hello to Joe.

-Hi. Hello, Joe.

-Hello, sweetheart.

-Are you feeling better this morning?

-Yeah.

-How are you doing, Joe?

-Pretty good.

Remember, our offer's still open.

Thanks a lot, but I'm all right.

-You're sure, now?

-Yeah, thanks. Excuse me...

I've got to go see

what's doing down there.

We'll see Joe later, all right?

Looking sharp, Kevin.

Feels funny to say, but I get the feeling

I'm gonna be joining you real soon.

-What grade did you say Kevin was in?

-Third grade.

-I'm going to fourth.

-That figures, it follows after third.

Before you know it's been four years.

-Two lights together. Look.

-Yeah?

Yeah, that's tough. That's right.

This is my summer vacation

in between third and fourth.

That's right.

-You get what vacation?

-This is my summer vacation.

Al, can I talk to you for a minute?

Here, I'll take her. Come on, sweetie.

Right here.

-What's up?

-Come here.

What do you say we give $25,000 to Pete?

-What do you mean?

-I mean why don't we give him $25,000?

That'll leave us $10,000.

What the hell were we gonna do

with all that money anyways?

That'd be great.

-That would be all right with you?

-lt was my idea, wasn't it?

-Can we talk to you for a minute?

-Sure.

Why don't we go next door

so we can have a little privacy?

-Okay. Is everything all right?

-Yeah, everything's fine.

-You want a beer?

-Okay.

Moon, can we have two beers, please?

You know...

I'm beginning to feel a little better.

I think I'll stay at my own place tonight.

Okay.

-ls that what you called me in here for?

-No, of course not.

-You can't tell this to anybody.

-Sure. What is it?

Willie left us

a $25,000 life insurance policy.

Joe and I talked it over...

and we want to give you the $25,000...

to use as a down payment

on your own gas station.

-What?

-Here we are.

Thanks.

I don't understand.

Look, we don't have
