Doing heroin here is

safer than in Amsterdam.

I shouldn't do any more.

But you must.

Thank you.

But if you want to

feel good then why not?

I'm really tired.

You only live once, man.

Doing it with the nose,

hardly even affect me.

Why do you talk with

street trash like that? Eh?

I wasn't...

Whatever. Come on,

I want to talk to you.

Come on.

Meaty p*ssy, man.

Oh God!

- Open your mouth.

- No.

Shut up. Open your mouth.

- You need it.

- I...

To see Paris, you need it.

Zed, now swallow.

Now swallow, swallow it.

Good.

What was that?

It's new. It's good.

Take a deep breath.

I wanted to tell you Zed...

there are others here in Paris.

others that could

open that vault.

There are others in

Germany and Switzerland,

one in Belgium...

all could do the job.

But...

I don't need those a**holes.

Why?

Because I have you.

I have the only man

I can trust in the whole world.

My very good friend

who I look up to... hey.

You are the one. Hey?

You are the one, Zed... Zed.

It's good to see you.

You know what I'm saying?

It's good.

- What... did you give me?

- Nothing.

Nothing, Zed.

Don't sweat it.

Hey, hey, hey.

I'm going to die.

We all die.

The important thing is that in

life we experience everything, Zed.

You know what I'm saying?

You know?

- No.

- No.

Tomorrow is the greatest day

of our lives.

The beginning of our lives, Zed.

The end of the complication.

- Do you have fire?

- Aye?

Franois

Before, when we would make a bomb,

to blow up a cafe or something,

it would cost us a week's wage

working at the f***ing newspaper.

And for me, it was one week

and one half week.

Wake up sleepy head.

C'mon. We have a bank to rob.

I can get you some eggs

sunny side up.

I feel like I drank furniture polish.

You did.

It's that Spanish wine you drank, man,

I warned you.

Okay look, you should get ready.

The bank will be open for three hours today

and traffic will be hell.

I need to get my equipment.

Oh, but we went by

your hotel last night.

Don't you remember?

We have all your things here.

So get up and

take a sh*t so we can go.

How's this going to work?

We go in. We get what we want.

We come out.

Once we get in we will wear these to

cover our faces. Just in case. Okay?

Gonna have video cameras?

Of course they are. But we've taken care

of that. So don't worry.

Everyone knows what to do,

so just do your job and we will all be fine.

So don't worry.

Okay... and be happy.

What?

Your gun.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

Just follow us. don't say anything.

It will go smooth.

Just like the old days, eh?

Except its no longer the minimart. Yes?

Hey! I can open the vault!

Shut the f*** up!

Don't you ever conflict with me

during work again! Do you hear!?

You didn't have to

kill anyone!

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were

in charge now. Nobody told me that.

If he had opened the vault it

would have saved us a f***ing hour.

Great. So we've gone

from being thieves to murderers.

Oh f*** it doesn't matter!

Here you get the death penalty

just for robbing a federal bank.

I thought they abolished

the death penalty.

Oh! That's what they tell you!

So who cares?

I need to take a piss.

Why don't you open the vault?

Here.

I don't give a sh*t about this.

Zed, what is it?

What's going on?

What?

Nothing, nothing.

Just stay here, okay?

What the f*** is going on?

Oh sh*t.

Who gives a damn if they see us anyway!

I can't see a f***ing think in this!

This is insane!

I'm a U.S. Citizen!

I'm just here exchanging dollars.

You must let me go.

I'm an American.

You know? From America?

US of A?

Come on! Do you understand English?

If it wasn't for my country

you'd all be speaking German!

They are dead.

Check the window.

Oh my God!

It's the police!

Sh*t!

Okay.

What's going on?

Nothing.

He was just scaring them, you know.

Well, did you tell them

to shut up?

Yes. They're a**holes.

Just having fun.

So... how does it work?

F***ed up my drill bit.

It's okay.

You can buy another one.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Perfect.

Excellent, excellent.

What next?

We find the fuse box.

- It's okay. I'll find it for you.

- No. I need to see it myself.

I think it would be better if

I looked for you. I could...

It's right here.

Now, when I tell you to, you throw

this switch off and back on again.

Any other switch

may set off the alarm.

Oh, I wouldn't want to do that, man.

Got it?

Got it.

- Ready?

- Ready.

Go.

It worked.

Oh my God... it worked!

- Good job, man, good job.

- Open.

No problem, dime store quality.

Three minutes max.

Sounds good. Then do it,

we don't have all day, man.

Get out, go!

F***!

Another security guard?

Ya, must be.

I peed my pants.

Hey, me too.

Hey!

Is everything okay, man?

What's happening?

Nice hole in the vault,

come on, come on.

What are you worried about

blast his f***ing ass!

It's three against one!

Shut up!

I'm only trying to help. All right?

Just let me think, man.

You don't have to snap at me.

Hey.

What is this guys problem?

What the hell are you doing?

Okay.

Eric, you can't do this.

This is way too much.

It's too dangerous.

I like danger.

Yes. I do.

That isn't funny, man.

You guys are a bunch

of hysterical f***ing pricks.

Come on...

Let's go check out the damage.

Zed look!

I beat you!

I opened it in under three minutes.

I'm great... I'm so great!

You go around to the other main vault door.

Wait for me out there.

When I tell you, open it up.

Sorry? What were you saying?

Go around the other vault door.

We're all rich!

Here.

Look at it!

I'm going to show the others.

Zed?

We are rich, man!

We're not out of here yet.

Yes, but we're rich!

Lucky day.

Okay. Oliver, open it up.

Hey!

Okay, Oliver, open it up!

Hey!

Let me out of here!

- Oliver!

- Okay.

Hello?

Ya. Hang on.

Turn the dial.

Turning.

Where were you? Asleep?

That's incredible.

I've never seen anything like it.

Give me a hand, will you?

It's wonderful!

Ya, come on.

Move it.

What happened to the guard?

Dead.

F***! F***!

Should we get some cash while we're here?

What for?

So we can celebrate tonight.

You wouldn't be able to spend it anywhere.

It's too easily traceable.

You sure wouldn't be able

to exchange it either.

But other than that,

it's a really good idea.

Ya, I suppose you're right.

So what are you going to do

with your account, man?

I don't know.

I'd like to buy an Island.

South Pacific.

Put my ex-wife on it.

Never see her again.

Oh, really?

Got any kids?

Not that I know of.

Ya, me too.

What about you?

I'm going to get a Harley.

I might go to South America, you know.

I hear that's where the drugs from.

Just get much... just store it

all up in a shack somewhere.

And live there like a king for the rest of

my life. Never having to run, or whatever.

We got something to cover this up with?

What for?

We can't exactly like walk through a bank,

out on the street with a platten of gold.

It's going to look a little...
