to do lunch.

Lunch? Great.

Tomorrow?

Well, not tomorrow.

But how about, um...

this weekend maybe?

That would

be wonderful.

Anyway...bye.

Bye.

- Bye.

Hey.

How'd it go?

Oh.

Honey.

You wanna

talk about it?

You remember that

Frontline we saw

on Third World

slave labor?

Yeah.

Then I don't have to

talk about it.

Oh!

Don!

Don! Don!

You wanna know

what she told me?

How the whole thing

got started?

Oh.

Looks like we're gonna

need a new one of these.

Let me show ya. You see?

You broke it right there.

She went shopping.

There's

something about stuff...

that's on display.

See, even if you've

got the same stuff,

they way they lay it out

makes you want.

Wanting is the root

of all...

needing stuff.

I'll tell you what.

They say money can't

buy happiness,

but it sure as hell

buys everything else.

That's what she said

she was doing when

she got the whole idea.

Just shopping.

Being a good American.

Do you ever

really think about money?

People think that they think

about money all the time.

But how often do we really look

at the actual physical cash?

Once you start to really

think about money,

you realize this stuff

gets touched a lot.

Who had it before you?

And what did they

do with it?

It gets put in places you

may not wanna know about.

When you really stop

and think about it--

money is actually

pretty disgusting.

Well, I mean, we're a consumer

society, aren't we?

She got consumed.

We receive currency from over a

thousand banks in the Tenth District,

which arrives here and enters

a totally secure environment.

Utility rooms,

work rooms,

lunchroom,

lockers, stairs,

elevators.

Everyone, everywhere,

every minute.

Cash sorted.

We find one of only three

keys in the entire system

that will open

a cash cart.

The Treasury Department

inspection room,

where the second key

is held by Agent Wayne here,

decorated 30-year veteran

of the Secret Service--

Lost a tooth taking down

Squeaky Fromme.

Nighttime. The key is locked

up in my security office.

The final step

of the process,

the shredding room.

And here's the third key

wired to the system.

And that's all she wrote.

After this, there's

nothing left to steal.

Oh, this is good.

Okey-dokey. Here we go.

Okay.

Good enough.

Thank you

so much, Don.

I'm gonna take

care of you.

It'll be gone

in no time.

My best to Bridget.

Oh, I'm sorry,

excuse me,

but it looks like you might

have dropped some money.

No, that's not mine.

Really?

Money?

I guess I ought to turn it

into the office, though, huh?

Oh.

Right.

He's a big fat no.

Oh, she's so

in love with me.

I got this.

- Okay.

Oh, I got it.

Hey, beautiful.

You know, you got me so

cuckoo for your... cocoa puffs.

You hear me, baby?

You know what I think of

when somebody calls me "baby?"

Okay, tell me

in my good ear.

I think of years of

sleep deprivation.

Oh. Mmm.

Spit-up on the shoulder

of my last clean shirt.

Diarrhea in a diaper,

the green kind.

See, now that's the image

you just left in my mind.

Now what do you want?

Nothing, Nina. You have

a good evening.

Fool.

Hey, call me.

What?

You got to howl

at the b*tches, dawg.

The woman's a working

mother, Shaun.

So?

I'm not your dawg.

More for me.

Oh, boy.

You wanna carpool

tomorrow?

Huh?

Oh. Uh...

can I ask you

something?

Excuse me?

Are you ever tempted?

What, him?

You find that

appealing?

Ecch.

- No, no.

You think what I want

after along day on my feet

is to lie down under

some skinny kid

for three minutes

of push-ups?

No, that's not what

I'm talking about.

I got around plenty in my party

girl days, but I got kids now.

No, no, I meant...

Don't you ever get

tempted to just slip

a couple hundreds

into your pocket?

Okay, I knew you didn't

look like a janitor.

Huh?

What do you mean?

Boy, they are good.

Those guys are sneaky,

I'll give 'em that.

What? You think

I'm a weasel?

Or like a mole thing?

No. I'm serious.

I'm asking.

Just once?

Ever?

Is that what you being

here is all about?

Look, nobody, not once,

has ever beaten the system

in, like, a hundred years.

So what are you, some kinda

like super genius or something?

No. That's what's so funny.

It's just staring you in the face.

You only have to see it.

And you don't think

they've seen it?

No.

- Why?

Because they don't

empty the trash.

What?

- No.

Uh-uh.

Leave me alone.

Here, Mom. You need

to sign this for school.

What is it?

It's a list of weapons

we're not allowed to bring.

Like there's some weapons

you are allowed to bring?

You just have to sign

that you understand.

Oh, I understand.

I just don't understand.

Hello?

You don't want

the money?

I don't wanna go crazy,

and that's what makes

everybody crazy.

Everybody always

wants everything.

I don't want things

I can't have.

Do you live in America?

Hey, Mom, we got

a white woman outside.

What's she doing?

Just standing there.

She's our new

lawn ornament.

Well, she's coming.

Find someone else.

- I can't.

It only works with you in the

shredding room and someone from carts.

It might not even

work then.

Maybe I'm crazy.

You tell me.

Okay.

All right.

Did you do something

wrong at school today?

No. You?

- Not with a lock.

How did you get this?

The same as

the Fed does.

Master Lock Company,

mail order.

Completely legal.

The key won't fit.

No, it won't.

The Fed resets

the cylinders

and makes their

own keys.

Just think about it.

I'm not gonna

think about it.

Oh, okay. That's a good idea.

Don't think about it.

I won't.

Great. Great.

Whatever you do

don't think about it.

Give it up, Miss Daisy!

I have kids!

Yeah, well, so do I!

My husband and I after all these

years are still paying off--

I'm not talking about your

upper middle-class problems.

I'm a single mom.

If this thing goes bad,

I lose my children.

Oh.

- Uh-huh.

Now if that happens,

I will kill you.

You scared of me?

Yeah.

Good.

Now, who do we get

from carts?

Somebody is definitely

peeing in her cup.

Um...

Here, let me

get that for you.

Here you go.

What on earth?

Here.

- Thanks.

There you go.

Okay, then.

Well, we're not looking

for a Girl Scout.

Well, we didn't

find one.

When I was 9 years old,

I found out that every day

for the rest of my life,

I would be sticking

myself with a needle.

Early onset diabetes.

Okay.

I'm in.

- You're in.

Let's do it.

What?

That's it?

You don't want

to think about it?

What's there

to think about?

The...consequences.

Nope.

I'm down.

When do we go?

Well, I don't know.

I mean, obviously,

we have to review

the plan.

Well, I got the plan.

Do you got the plan?

Do you have the lock?

She has it.

So why not?

"Why not" seems like a really

bad reason to do something,

don't you think?

Why?

Okay.

Why not?

All right.

We need a "go" code.

Okay, I'm sorry,

but a "go" code?

I don't think we want

to be walking around the Fed

saying "Let's rob the Fed
