Don't drop it.

Oh! I'm slipping!

- Come on.

- Don't drop it, Harry.

- Harry, Harry!

Walter, Walter!

Hold it, hold it!

Harry, it'll explode.

What are we gonna do now?

Put those guns down!

Get off! Get off!

He's got nitro! Don't shoot!

Harry, don't dare him!

Come on! I dare him.

Harry, don't!

Come on!

- We'll go back

- Come on!

Put me on a nitro detail, will ya?

- Don't threaten him.

- Say, "I'm too smart."

- I'm too smart.

- You're too smart!

- Watch this. Ha!

- No, don't!

- Ha!

- Don't!

- Harry!

- Whoa!

- Sweet Jesus!

Well? Come on!

My hat!

What do you mean,

your hat?

- I dropped my hat.

- Your hat?

You stupid!

Watch the quarters!

Got 'em.

Those dogs are gonna find us,

Harry.

If there's one thing I know, it's dogs.

Just follow me.

- What do we do?

- We'll throw 'em off.

Run around the tree.

Rub your body on the tree.

Get 'em dizzy.

Okay, come on.

Trust me, Walter.

Come on.

- Harry, I'm hungry, Harry.

- We'll eat later.

Come on.

They'll give us years,

Harry!

Come on.

Harry,

they're gonna catch us.

They've got snakes in the forest,

Harry.

I'm scared.

Come on. Come on.

Okay, this way. Walter?

Harry?

- Harry!

- Walter?

- Harry?

- Walter?

- Harry? Harry, I'm lost!

- Don't panic!

- Harry? Harry?

- Don't panic!

- I got lost.

- Okay.

- I got lost in the corn.

- Okay!

Shh. Let me explain

something to you.

If I'm in the front,

that means you...

I've never liked corn.

Let's get outta here.

You're supposed to

be behind me.

Don't holler at me,

Harry.

If I'm leading,

that means you follow.

If you follow

you know what I mean.

A bicycle.

We can use a bicycle.

Be careful.

Timing is everything.

We're dangerous!

We escaped! We're convicts!

Run for your life.

Run!

Okay, let's go.

Harry,

my legs are getting tired.

Don't worry.

When we get to Connecticut,

it's mostly downhill.

Attaboy.

Attaboy. Attaboy.

Come on.

Here. Come on.

All these years, I told you

I'd get you here, right?

Okay.

Beep, beep.

Hey! Thank you.

Watch out!

Watch out.

Oh, look!

Oh, gosh.

Oh! Get off me!

You all right?

Come on.

We made it.

- Harry, we made it. We're here.

- Where are we?

The Advocate, the People's Newspaper,

Harry. 184 miles. We made it!

This is it?

That's some newspaper.

You got the magnifying glass?

I think it's by the bed.

Lemon or milk?

- Well, both, if you have 'em.

- Both.

I'm gonna take these off

because they pinch my muscles.

Um, I'm so surprised.

I'm really stunned to see you here.

How did you...

Well, you can imagine

our surprise when, uh...

An hour after you left,

our parole came through,

bang, like that.

More like "boom."

Boom, bang, what difference

does it make?

We came as soon as we could,

and so how can we best help you?

Oh! Uh, that's very

thoughtful of you both.

It's just that I'm afraid

we can't pay you anything.

Nothing at all.

- Oh, we don't care about money.

- Oh, I mean, money. Money.

We came because, uh,

we just...

wanted to put a new, uh, life

in our direction, like you said.

- A new direction in our life.

- That's what I said, Walter.

- It's wonderful. It's inspiring.

- It's perfect.

It's perfect.

Yes, it is. Here.

I want you to take a look at this,

and I want you to tell me what you think.

Be honest.

Think it'll sell?

"Adam Worth,

penitentiary prince."

"Adam Worth."

Oh, boy, is he

gonna be mad.

You have pictures of us

in here!

Look at that, Harry.

Yeah.

Oh, this is good publicity,

Walter.

- You think so?

- Yeah.

Excuse me.

Lewis?

- You're terrific!

- Oh, thanks.

They're wonderful.

- Sharp and clear.

- Yes.

Where do you develop these?

I got my own darkroom.

- Here?

- Yeah, right here.

- You're kidding.

- No, no, I'll show you. Come on.

Come here.

Aw, it's a boy.

Yeah.

You do wonderful,

wonderful work.

Thank you.

It's a... characteristic.

Well, a character study.

It's wonderful.

Oh, uh...

Lewis,

what's this pile here?

- Oh, those are the rejects.

- Uh-huh.

Your friend Walter

took the worst one of 'em all.

He did? Which one was that?

Which one? The one that

almost burned down the cell.

I don't mean

to be personal,

but you're not related to him,

are you?

- No.

- Oh.

This is the worst picture

I've ever seen in my life.

Look at this.

It's just a bunch of crazy diagrams.

The composition is terrible.

Look, the leg is cut off,

your whole body's cut off.

- Paper! The Advocate!

- Lewis Hopkins' photographs!

Corruption here

in New York!

Walter, take a stack

and spread 'em all over town.

When you've sold these,

come back for more.

Listen. One per customer.

They'll buy anything

that's one to a customer.

One to a customer.

- Paper.

- Oh.

- What?

- Look.

What's the matter, Harry?

What?

- Shang Draper's.

- Shang what?

Shang Draper's.

It's a restaurant.

Yeah. Do you know that right now

the greatest cracksmen in the world

are sitting there, and they're,

uh, lightin' cigars with C-notes.

That's the way they talk.

C-note, that's a hundred.

- Oh, my God.

- Who's that?

- Oh, my God.

- Who do you see?

Oh, my God.

Harry, what's the matter?

Who do you see?

- That's piano Charley Bullard!

- Who?

Charley Bullard.

The diamond job in Paris!

Paris. That's Paris, France.

That's It's near Europe and Asia.

- So?

- The So?

The Charley diamond Bullard job

in Paris, France!

Where are we going?

Oh. Sorry about that.

Mrs. Trumble, Mr. Trumble.

Enjoy your meal.

Excuse me. I'd like, uh, a nice table

by the window for two, please.

I'm afraid it's out of the question, sir.

We are fully booked.

That's all right.

We'll wait.

I'm afraid it would be at least two hours.

Probably three.

Oh, well, I'll, uh...

see your three

and raise you two.

Sir, this is

Shang Draper's.

I'm not lookin' for directions, buddy.

I just want a table.

One moment, sir.

And a nice one too.

Right over there by the window.

Harry, isn't that Jack Chatsworth

sitting over there?

- Jack Where?

- There, in the middle...

Don't point!

Harry, if I don't point,

how am I gonna show you...

You describe it.

You use the English language, like me.

May I help you,

uh... gentlemen?

No. No, thanks.

Um, Jack!

Jack Chatsworth!

- Harry

- How ya...

- How ya doin', buddy?

- Christ, Harry!

You're friends

of Mr. Chatsworth.

Oh, yeah.

I thought you'd never ask.

Right this way,

gentlemen.

It's not Not a window.

It's all right.

Thank you.

Are you trying to get us

killed, Harry?

Relax. Adam Worth is safely

tucked away in that prison.

Something from the bar, gentlemen?

Would you like to look at the wine list?

Yes, thank you.

Here it is, sir.

Uh, some beer.

Beer.

Um...

Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, '79.

An excellent selection,

monsieur.

Measurably. Oh, and, uh, excuse me.
