Happy beyond

his wildest expectations.

The money is mine.

Of course it is.

Mr. Crisp,

would you...

Could you help me?

I would be

deeply appreciative.

I'm sorry.

Dear lady, I would

consider it a privilege.

Of course I will have to know

the complete details of all your affairs...

Oh!

No. I mean...

these...

delicate matters...

are best discussed

after banking hours.

I understand what you mean...

monsieur.

I am at your disposal.

Shall we say...

supper tomorrow night?

Oh, no!

Why must we wait?

I was thinking

more like perhaps tonight?

Oh, please. Please.

- Tonight?

- Yes.

I shall rearrange

a previous appointment.

Good, I have tickets

to this evening's show.

We shall go together.

Ah!

Oh! Oh.

Oh. Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Well, perhaps then,

a late supper afterwards...

monsieur.

Yes.

Enchante, Miss Forsythe.

Enchante.

Until ce soir,

mam'selle.

Ce soir.

Good-bye, Mr. Crisp.

Remember,

tactfully, my handsome prince.

My daughter, Princess Flavia,

has announced,

she will have none other for her husband

but Prince Herbert,

whom she has not seen

since she was a child.

Oh, fear not, we will be gentle.

But persistent.

Remember,

if there is no male heir to the throne

by the time I die,

my kingdom will go to my evil brother

Prince Malcolm.

Oh, here she comes now.

Good luck, sirs.

Thank you, sire.

Oh, Father, how good of you

to welcome me home from the convent.

Gloria Fontaine!

Miss Forsythe?

Miss Forsythe!

Mr. Crisp, what

are you doing in there?

We'll be closing up in a little while.

You better be going home.

I tell you she went in there

20 minutes ago.

Mrs. Crisp,

are you in there?

No, wait, it's all right!

Miss Fontaine,

time to close up.

Yes, I'm almost ready.

Would you get me

a carriage, Herman?

Yes, ma'am.

Cabbie?

Hey, cabbie!

Come on.

Quick, hurry up.

Hurry up!

Go back to your hotel room,

put on your prettiest peignoir,

go to sleep, and I'll be there

before dawn, I promise.

Miss Fontaine?

I got you your cab ready,

Miss Fontaine.

Thank you.

Well, good night.

You couldn't steal the plans

for a bank in Oklahoma, Harry?

That way even if we didn't

get the money,

we'd have a chance

to strike oil.

If we can get out of Concord Prison,

we can get out of anywhere in the world.

Adam Worth's in town.

I saw him go into the theater

across the street with his gang.

Gloria Fontaine's in the play.

She let them in, I know.

She snuck them in

after everyone was gone!

Wait! Wait. Go slow.

I don't understand.

Adam Worth went into

the theater with his gang.

I think Gloria Fontaine let them in.

They're up to something.

What is he doing

in the theater?

I don't know.

Since I'm sure he already

has her autograph,

he must be digging a tunnel.

Exactly!

The theater is across the street,

isn't it?

- Right.

- We're going in from the top.

He's going in from the bottom.

How are we gonna get in, Harry?

Shh, someone's coming.

It's that Leary guy.

Let's follow him.

What for? To find out

where he's gonna dump the dirt?

We know how to do that.

True. But let's go into the theater.

If he has dirt, there's a tunnel.

Let's go find it.

Isn't that exactly

what I said upstairs?

- Yeah.

- Come on, let's go.

Where are we?

Watch your head.

One, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, ten.

We'll go through...

right here.

What do you think?

Hour, hour and a half?

About an hour and a quarter.

We'll finish tomorrow night

after the show.

Oh, and, Jack, remember,

we'll need the putty,

the torch,

the number four dynamite package,

lots of caps and the bicycle pump.

A bicycle pump?

What's that for?

How should I know?

But we got it.

We got everything.

Everybody.

Harry and Walter, everyone.

Come on, let's discuss this

one more time.

All right?

We go through the theater,

get into the bank, blow the vault.

And get out before the curtain falls.

Is that clear?

Excuse me, please.

Lewis Hopkins, press.

We're doing a story on Miss Fontaine.

We're cleared.

Flowers for Miss Fontaine.

Flowers, but they have

they need water.

Where can I find

Miss Fontaine's dressing room?

Who are you?

I have a legal paper

to serve on her.

Why, is she in trouble?

Her dog bit my client when he let her

out of the carriage last night.

I don't know.

You come back after the show.

Did you call

the carriage?

Y-Yes.

Ah, that could make you

an accessory.

An An access

You follow me.

Mister? Mister!

I get a half.

That's our deal.

That's our deal, yeah.

You get half. You get a nickel.

Pardon me. Nice seeing you.

All right, one thin dime.

One dime.

One thin dime to watch Miss Fontaine's

glorious bosom rise and fall...

as she sings

"The Glorious Kingdom of Love."

Ten cents, sir.

Here she is.

Good, good.

- Which way?

- I don't know.

Which way do we go?

Gloria Fontaine

in Lowell, Massachusetts.

The minute I read the review

in the Boston paper,

I got on the first train.

I don't like it.

He's somewhere around.

I can feel it.

Billy, Billy, Billy.

Short of tidal wave,

earthquake or revolution...

the money that sits inside that vault

is as safe as a babe in its mother's arms.

Watch your head.

Okay.

Watch that one right there.

Yeah, that's good.

It's big enough.

Well, you wanted a bank,

you got a bank.

Courtesy of Mr. Adam Worth.

Hold these, Mischa.

Here, here. Great.

Give me a hand.

All right, you're doing great.

Okay.

- Come on, Walter.

- I'm coming, Harry.

Okay.

All right?

Who goes next?

Me? I'm next.

- Ready? Got her, Ben?

- Yep.

Okay.

Just push up.

Will you watch it?

That's tremendous.

No, no, don't touch it.

Mischa, Mischa, check it out.

Harry, get the window pole.

You're gonna open the safe

with a window pole?

No, the alarm box. Hurry.

Okay.

The alarm box

has four terminals.

How do you know that?

I can read.

Harry can read.

Harry reads.

Open the box, but be careful.

Don't touch the iron.

Be careful, Harry.

Good, Harry.

Thank you.

Wait, watch it.

Harry?

Be careful, Harry.

That's good.

Oh, that scared me.

I'm good at this

'cause I used to fish.

Rook to your queen three,

Adam.

Knight to your queen five.

- Good.

- Don't touch the iron.

It's off now, right?

I can touch the iron.

Yeah. That's right.

Now all we gotta do

is get through the gate.

You get the torch and turn

it on when I tell you to.

Walter, give me the fire.

You be careful.

All right.

Turn it on.

Give me that.

All right,

watch yourself.

I know a lot about this.

Give me the glasses.

Slower tempo, Johann.

How wonderful it is

to be home.

And as terribly lonely

as it was in the convent,

I am glad I saved myself

for you, my prince.

I have done almost as much

for you, my darling.

Today our lives begin.

Watch out. Watch out.

Ahh!

Thank you, thank you.

Very good, Harry.

Thank you.

Everyone in.

Oh.

Now...

I am going to, uh,

listen with my ear

to the, uh, door...

feeling with my fingertips

and my ear

the right clicks.
