Going in Style Page #5

-Go ahead. Throw them.

-Again?

Yes, again.

Here they go. They roll.

Do it!

Ten! Hard ten.

-Hard 10.

-Fives are with ten upon.

Okay, Al, you collect the money. I'm tired.

I'll have cream cheese

and jelly sandwich on rye bread...

and a cup of coffee, please.

Cream cheese and jelly?

What would you like?

Let me see.

-I'll have the same thing.

-Thank you.

After we eat, you wanna go

to one of them girlie shows they've got?

I don't know.

-I'm getting kind of tired.

-Yeah, me, too.

I guess we're a little too old

for this kind of nonsense.

Hello.

Excuse me.

Why, I never dreamt

that a place like this existed.

You want a six now. Shoot a six.

Make a hard six.

-Shoot a six.

-What?

-Shooting for six.

-Six is my point.

Four and two, three and three,

and a five and one make six.

-Wait a minute. Hold it.

-Hold it, he says.

Throw a six, Al.

Do anything you want, but throw a six.

Four and two, three and three,

five and one. Six, baby!

-Piece of cake.

-Six, Al.

Winner, six hard.

Hard way winner!

-I ain't never ever seen anything like this.

-That's good sentence structure.

$45 here and $900 more here

for the hard six.

Pretty good, how much we got there?

I don't know.

I stopped counting 20 minutes ago.

And back then, I had little over $30,000.

$30,000 or $13,000?

$30,000, and that was 20 minutes ago.

And that don't include

the $11,000 from before.

Get a bet now, they're coming out.

-Jesus Christ.

-I know.

Same shooter now. You're gonna

shoot them again, aren't you?

Hold it.

Let's just go for one more roll...

and cash in our chips

and see what's going on, okay?

Okay, anything you say.

Would you take all the bets

off the numbers?

-All your bets?

-Right.

Leave $500 on the eight

and $500 on the six.

-Okay, if this is what suits you.

-Off on the hard six, too.

Hard six off. Right.

Okay, Al, now you can throw them.

-Ready, folks?

-Ready.

Seven and four, five and a two,

and six and five are eleven.

Crap dice, take the line.

Pay the don't side, a line away.

Here you go, gentlemen,

buy yourselves some hats.

Thank you, sir.

-Can I have a rack, please?

-The gentleman wants--

A rack for these chips.

-How much have we got?

-I'll tell you later.

-How much are we ahead?

-Later.

-Ladle?

-Later! I'll tell you later.

Okay, this totals $61,900.

-That's all?

-That's all.

We got to get out of here right away.

What does that come to

with what we won before?

A little over $73,000. This is serious stuff.

Some of the bums downstairs

are gonna try and rob us.

Or the FBl will wanna know

who the old guys are.

I read in a paper once...

where they hang out in joints like this

looking for crooks.

So what do we do?

We got to get the money

and get out of here.

May I help you?

Yes. You see, me and my friend here...

won a whole bunch of money

at your crap tables here.

We're looking for a little bag,

about so big...

Iike one of those overnight bags

or something like that...

to take the money back home with us.

Something with a lock on it,

if you've got it.

In leather, I presume.

Leather sounds nice.

-Remember us?

-Sure.

We came to pick up our money.

Here's our receipts.

If you'll wait a moment,

I'll have a check drawn for you.

We'd prefer it in cash, if you can.

Normally, when it is this amount...

we do like to have

a company check drawn.

It's basically like a cashier's check.

Yeah, we'd kind of like the cash instead.

Stuff some clothes in here.

-Here you are, kid.

-Thank you, sir.

Maybe we should have spent the night.

I'm exhausted.

It didn't feel right to me back there.

Believe me, this is the best way.

Get some sleep on the plane.

You kidding?

I could sooner fall asleep

on a roller coaster.

I don't like them jets.

I don't trust no plane

that ain't got propellers.

You were great back there, Al.

Bet you them guys never saw nobody

roll like that before.

You weren't doing too bad either,

you know.

The way you kept moving

them chips around. Boy.

Yeah.

Feels like we've lived two lives:

one before the robbery, and one after.

The city budget remains

the main point of contention...

between the Mayor

and the City Council President.

The Mayor says the Council's decision...

to spend an additional $8 million

for the budget...

was irresponsible.

There's been some movement

in the investigation...

of that bank robbery at Broadway

and 36th Street last Thursday.

Although the FBl isn 't saying much...

a source at the police department

tells WlNS...

he wouldn 't be surprised

if there was a break...

in the case of the three elderly men

who held up the Union Marine Bank.

He characterized the robbery...

as a job done by

"a careless group of amateurs. "

What the hell are you talking about?

"A careless group of amateurs."

Wake up, Al.

The cops just called us

a bunch of amateurs.

I suppose you got to knock off

a bank every other week...

in order to get some respect

from those jerks.

Al, wake up.

Hey, Al, wake up.

Joe, how you doing? Come on in.

Thanks.

-Where's Al?

-He's at home.

I just came over

to talk to you about some stuff.

-Sure. Nothing wrong, is it?

-No.

-Hello, Joe.

-Hiya, beautiful.

-Hi, Joe.

-Hi.

Joe, you look kind of tired.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

No, thanks.

Well, if you already got some made.

We got any coffee made, Kat?

It'll only take a second though

if you want some.

-Yeah, please.

-Sure.

Is there somewhere

we can go to talk alone?

Sure. Yeah, come on.

Come on. You three guys did that?

-Are you bullshitting me?

-That's only the half of it.

Right after we buried Willie...

me and your uncle took off

to Las Vegas for a couple of hours...

and cleaned those bums out

for over $70,000.

-$17,000 or $70,000?

-$70,000. Seven-O.

Between the bank job and Vegas,

it comes to a little over $107,000.

Jesus Christ.

Al's dead.

-What?

-Al died a couple of hours ago.

We came back from Las Vegas

this afternoon.

We were real tired. Al, especially.

We didn't get any sleep

since before the funeral...

what with all the excitement

and everything.

-lt must have been too much for him.

-Jesus.

As soon as we got home,

we both fell asleep right away.

I woke up and....

He must have died in his sleep.

Pete, coffee's ready.

-All right, honey. We'll be up in a minute.

-Want me to bring it down?

-It's all right, we'll be up soon.

-All right.

Where is he?

I called Ryan's funeral parlor

before I came over.

Everything is taken care of.

Pete, I know this whole thing

is gonna be rough on you...

but you got to pull together

and listen to me for a minute.

I need your help.

Okay, go ahead.

When me, Al, and Willie did the bank job...

we didn't know

what the hell we were doing.

The whole thing was stupid.

We just ran in and did it.

Now I've been hearing stuff on the radio...

and thinking about

how we went about this thing.

I got a feeling that we loused up

or something.

Fingerprints, I don't know what,
