Very, very good.

That gives me time to shoot a couple

of other people first.

Thanks a lot.

Those guys better hurry up.

The bank will be closed.

I know it.

Here they come now!

Okay, get ready.

Get out of the way.

I want to make a picture.

Hey, what's the idea

of them cameras?

Hide the guns.

Hey, do you want it

goin' in or comin' out?

- Comin' out.

- Comin' out.

He got well fast, didn't he? They must

be awfully pleased over at the hospital.

Never mind that.

Get your camera ready.

Mr. Fellowsby.

Click, click, click, we'll

get the whole three of them.

You're not getting paid

to do that!

Oh, I thought I'd pick up

a little on the side.

Let's get this picture.

Come on!

- Hold it!

- Cover our getaway!

- Hold it!

- Got it! Got it! Got it!

Oh, boy!

That's a boy!

What's the matter?

Hey, everybody!

It's after 3:
00.

Do you want this door open?

Wait a minute!

Where is everybody?

This is a fine way

to do business!

Somebody might come in

and rob the joint.

Yeah, let's find out.

What is this?

- Teller!

- Tell who?

- Teller!

- I'll tell 'er. Where is she?

Where is who?

I said teller!

- Tell 'er what?

- Tell 'er nothing.

- I want a teller.

- Go ahead and tell 'er. I don't care.

- No! Teller in a bank!

- Tell 'er in a bank. Tell 'er outside.

Tell her any place you want!

I won't listen.

When I say "teller,"

I don't mean "tell 'er. "

- Well, what do you mean?

- Teller.

- Teller.

- Now you've got it.

Now I've got it! I don't even

know what I'm talking about.

Oh, come on!

Will you get out of the way?

- Don't hit my camera.

- Come on, let's look around here.

There must be

someone here.

Don't get so rough.

Yoo hoo!

Hmm.

Hey, Flash!

Get the size

of the big icebox!

Whooo!

Anybody in there?

Only a couple of guys

with a toothache.

How do you know

they've got a toothache?

They've got plaster

over their mouths.

- The bank's stuck up.

- What's this bank got to be stuck up about?

- It's no better than any other bank.

- It's been robbed.

- That's against the law.

- Certainly it is.

If we're caught in here,

they'll blame us for the stickup.

We've got to go out

and call a cop.

- We don't have to.

- Get rid of the cameras!

- Oh.

- Hurry up!

Did you know

your front door was open?

Somebody might come in

you don't want in here.

That's what I thought

when I saw you.

Shh! Quiet!

You fellows

must be new around here.

- Where's Robinson?

- What's he do?

- Teller in the bank.

- Tell'er in the bank?!

Listen, I don't know what girl

you guys are talking about.

- Don't you give me the same thing about a girl.

- No, no.

Where's the rest of the fellows

who work here?

- Huh?

- Where are the rest of the fellows that work here?

- The other two guys. They're in the icebox.

- No!

They're tied up

right now.

You fellows are busy. There's no

sense of me holding up the bank.

No, it's been held up

once already.

- What?!

- I say, "In case it gets held up, we're ready. "

Oh, good!

I'll lock up for you.

- Ain't he got a nice smile?

- Can you imagine that?

He's a nice-looking cop.

- He's got us locked in.

- Let's find out.

Hi-ho on the port side!

You landlubbers,

down with that mast! Yo!

Must be for a small boat,

this here one.

Uh-oh. It must work

by electricity.

See if you can

find a button.

Hello.

Bank's closed!

Persistent, huh?

Bank's closed!

Hello!

- Hello! Hello!

- No, that's the burglar alarm.

- The burglar alarm?

- Turn it off!

Hey, turn it off! Turn off the

burglar alarm, will you, please?

The cops!

Come on!

- Don't forget the cameras!

- Right.

Come on.

Turn off that alarm!

Ouch!

- Oh.

- What's the matter with him?

He was hurt in the holdup. I've gotta

take him across the street to the hospital.

Go ahead. Murphy, go along

with them and get the story.

I was shot.

Some guy stabbed me.

All right, just have patience.

Have patience.

Why you... hey, you,

come back here!

Hold it! Hold it!

Hold it!

Thank you!

So I went in. Pillows were stuffed in

the bed to fool us and they were gone.

Ridiculous. A man with a fever

as high as Fellowsby's

wouldn't dare to go out.

We'll see.

Anything wrong, Doctor?

No, not a thing,

is there, nurse?

They weren't in this room

a little while ago.

No? Well, that's

news to me.

If you find out where I was,

would you let me know?

- I can't understand it.

- That'll be all, Miss Osborne.

Yes, Doctor.

I hope this

hasn't upset you.

Oh, no,

not nearly as much

as that racket outside,

Doctor.

Say, Doctor,

how about taking me up

to that Sun Valley place

you told me about?

Yeah, you're going to be

the new doc up there,

so you can stay

right on the case.

Hmm, I admit it would

be more restful.

You know, I'm still

a very sick man, Doctor.

I can't take all that

noise outside. I get so...

Just you relax and I'll

take care of everything.

That nurse almost

messed us up good.

Yeah. Look, I'll tell you

how we handle this.

Doc's ambulance gets us

out of this hot spot

and then we hire the little lady

as the nurse in the case.

- That handles everything.

- What a set-up!

Sick in a hospital,

with witnesses!

Tubby:

How do you like that?

The teller telled on us...

the dirty stool-pigeon!

Flash:
No, you dope! We're

victims of circumstantial evidence!

We've got to catch those crooks

before the cops catch us!

It ain't gonna

do us no good!

They've got our pictures in

the paper! Nobody'll believe us!

- Wait a minute!

- There that guy made a very fat puss outta me!

Shh. Picture! Why didn't

I think of that before?

We've got a picture

of those three crooks!

Don't you remember the one

you took outside the bank?

- Think hard!

- Oh.

How're you coming along

with the picture?

Tubby:

I just finished it.

Hey! This ought to catch

those crooks red-handed!

- Thattaboy!

- Get a load of this!

Hey! I didn't know that you

was one of the bank robbers!

Stop that!

Now we've got

to get out of town!

- Let's get packed.

- Okay.

Get with it!

Here was our chance!

All the evidence in the world

we had, and what happens?

He lets everything...

why, you...

Oooh! Oooh!

Come on,

get out of there!

And get that grip!

Come on!

- What did we have, a blackout?

- Never mind that!

- Come on, pack that grip!

- Okay, okay.

Get with it!

After all, why should I

take the chance of going to jail?

Why should get

myself a record?

We've got to blow this town!

On second thought,

why should we run away?

We're not guilty!

Come here, wait a minute!

Hold that!

Unpack that grip!

Unpack the grip!

Run away...

like criminals in the dark!

What for?

We've done no harm.

We've harmed no one.

All our lives

we've lived a clean,

innocent life.

Why should I be

afraid of cops?

Who are we to run away

from the police?

Why should we

fear the police?

Why should we fear 'em?

We got nothing to fear!

That's right.

But on second thought,

if they came in right now,
