There's no other way to get the

money we need as fast as we need it.

So we're just gonna

walk in

and we're just gonna take

the money just like that?

gonna walk into the hospital

and lay it down?

No, he's right. We have to find

someway to launder it somehow.

Yeah, right.

Right, launder it.

Guys, come on.

When did I become

the voice of reason here, huh?

You feel better?

Now all we need

are my dad's keys.

- Hey, it's the Harvard girl.

- Hey, Leroy.

Hey, oh, did you see

the news last night?

Someone spotted Elvis

at the game.

I'm telling you, baby,

he's everywhere.

Yeah!

- Hi. Is my dad in?

- Hi.

- When isn't he?

- Right.

You know, just between

you and me,

that eyeliner makes you

look like a hooker.

Thought you might

want to know.

Hey, Polly,

what's up?

I was just worrying

last night

about my moving

to Boston.

Honey, you're gonna have a great

time there. Absolutely great.

Didn't you live there

once before you met Mom?

When I met Mom, yeah.

Yeah, at this--

This strange

little skating rink

that some friends

talked me into going to.

I fell right on my--

- Excuse me.

- Oh.

Yes, what can I do

for you?

I have some change

that needs counting.

Sure.

I'll be right back.

It's heavy.

Oh, crap!

Well, next thing

I remember

there was this beautiful

hand reaching out to me.

This beautiful face.

I was a terrible skater.

Can you hold that

thought? Bathroom.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Where's your bathroom?

Hey, man, hell of a way

to spend a Saturday.

- Your pop still at lunch?

- Yeah, man, all day.

Good good.

I need your expertise.

What makes you think

I'll cut these?

All those times you

kicked my ass wrestling.

Dude, what happened

to your eye?

The tournament

didn't go so well.

Come on, Dean.

What exactly are these

barrel keys for?

I was just using those

for a new lock

on my trunk

to protect the woofers.

We don't have blanks

for these, man.

You gotta have something.

Right?

I'll try and machine

something at the back.

Polly, hey,

I was saying Mom is gonna

wanna take you shopping.

You know, the mall,

free clothes.

Yeah yeah,

that'd be great, Dad.

As a matter of fact,

I actually--

I need some pants.

God knows they got plenty

of them at the mall.

Nice.

Thanks, dude.

Thank you for coming to Forge Hills

bank & Trust. Please come again.

- Carl.

- What?

No way.

Suzy Winters.

What the hell

happened to you?

You know, after graduation,

parents gave me the boot.

But I worked retail

for a while. It sucked.

So I yanked the studs,

threw out the leather

And started here.

And Suzy Winters

goes suit.

Not quite.

Remember that thing we

talked about a long time ago?

I wanna do some

furniture shopping with you.

- Okay, sounds good.

- Like organizational things,

little boxes

to put your Cd's.

Iggy pop!

That's so cool.

You know, you are the first

person to guess it.

Yeah, well, the face

is kinda messed up.

I need you to go to the back and

finish putting those files away.

Barbara, I am helping

a customer.

Is that what you call it?

What a vagina!

That's strange.

Where did I put my keys?

I thought I left 'em

right here.

- Did you see them when you came in?

- No, not at all.

You know...

I haven't been

back to--

Yeah, me neither.

Well, maybe we should

give it a whirl,

See if that tree

is still there.

We can follow it up

with, like, a harmless,

Like, non-sexual- vibe power

lunch at steak and shake.

- I'm vegan now.

- No, you're vegan?

I'm vegan, too.

Better not, okay?

It's nothing personal.

It's just things are different

now that I'm out of school.

- You know?

- Yeah.

What about

behind your computer?

Yeah.

Can I use your bathroom?

Hey, Dad.

- Oh.

- Nice.

Oh my god.

- Sweetheart, thank you.

- Of course.

What am I gonna do

without you?

Okay okay,

so we got the keys.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, what about the guards, the tellers?

- Don't worry. I've got it covered.

- How?

Hey, would you just untwist your

panties before your balls fall off?

Don't dick with me,

Carl, all right?

I'm in a really

unique mood.

Graduation

is a perfect alibi.

Do you have

anything vegan?

Got peas and corn medley.

Fill 'er up.

- Good!

- Yeah.

- Good, here you go.

- Thank you.

Chauncey's right

to be nervous.

You see, Jackson's hearing

me. When we do this,

if we get caught

we can't help Mrs. J.

You're not gonna go to Harvard

and we're all gonna go to jail.

Okay, so who wants out?

Carl,

you're obviously in.

Jackson?

If you want me in,

then just say you do.

Of course

I want you in.

I'm in.

The lobby alarm

takes a four-digit code.

I used to know it, but my dad

changes it every couple months, so...

Okay, see, that's it?

Whoa whoa whoa, man,

we're here, okay?

Carl, your shirt.

- My shirt?

- Yes.

You want my-- this is an original

Iggy and the Stooges Tour shirt.

I'll give you my jacket.

- Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.

Never rob a bank

without hairspray.

We'll see every button

he presses.

But we still

won't know the order,

So what good does

that do us?

We'll figure it out. How many

possibilities can there be?

You know, factorials.

What?

- Right.

- All right, come on, boys.

Now there are no

cameras back here,

But there are two that are

always taping the lobby.

One of us is gonna have to go in

during the day and scope them out.

I'll take care

of the damn cameras.

Now every morning

my dad and Barbara

Are at the vault room door

five minutes early.

Now that door

is gonna be easy

'cause it takes the same code

as the lobby door.

The vault, however,

is a top-of-the-line claymore.

My dad hands Barbara one

of the two barrel keys,

They insert into the vault

at the same time.

so then what happens?

Small talk

until 8:
45.

Has anyone ever tried

to rob this bank before?

Yeah, once,

a couple summers ago.

This guy came in drunk,

just laid off.

He had a knife.

You can rob a bank

with a knife?

Well, not this one.

Holy sh*t!

- Jesus!

- Whoa!

After the guy dropped

the knife,

My dad set him up with

a job at Associated.

My dad the hero.

Hmm.

Okay, let's go.

Oh, actually, if you could

just sign right there.

Thank you for coming to

Forge Hills Bank & Trust.

Who'd have thought

corporate could be so hot?

You are so darn cute when

you're relentless. You know that?

But you are also 18,

okay?

I am 19.

That one year, it's dog

years. It's light-years.

- You're still in High School.

- Doesn't matter.

To you.

But I've moved on now.

I have my own place,

My own car, bills.

I even have my own cat.

What are you

doing tonight?

I'm spaying my cat.

Carl, if you wanna spend

any more time with me,

You are gonna have to

open an account.

Okay.

Okay, it takes $100 down,

Your driver's license.

I'll provide the paperwork.

Wow, can I do anything

for free?

Safe deposit box.

Perfect.

Here you go.

Are you sure this isn't

too much commitment for you?

- 3.

- Yep.

- 0.

- Mm-hmm.

- 4.
