Mad Money Page #8

Synopsis: Don and Bridget Cardigan's upper middle class lifestyle is threatened since Don, who has been out of work for a year, seems to have given up looking for a job, and housewife Bridget has been out of the workforce for most of her life. They are close to $300,000 in debt. Finding out this information, Bridget comes to the conclusion that she needs to get a job - any job - that at least provides them with some benefits. She reluctantly takes a job as a janitor at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Almost immediately, Bridget is enthralled with all the old worn out money that is being shredded. She comes up with a plan to get her old lifestyle back by stealing much of that money, which she believes is an easy job since the locks used on the money carts are standard equipment and as she notices that no one ever checks the garbage as she goes about her work. Her plan needs the cooperation of one person who works the shredder and one person who pushes the carts of money. The two people s

a single alarm?

Is that what happened,

Mr. Glover?

According

to our records,

all currency that was

due to be destroyed...

was destroyed.

The Fed is a totally

secure institution.

We watch everyone...

everywhere...

every minute.

It is impossible to remove

currency from our system.

There's no evidence the crime

was even committed.

You should never

have arrested them.

Not so fast,

counselor.

IRS.

Ever hear of U.S. Code

Section 7201?

Yeah.

Well, Bridget,

you were right.

You didn't pay taxes.

On stolen money?

I didn't hear that.

The IRS is offering

what I consider...

a good deal.

No jail time.

Oh! Oh, thank you!

But the fines and the penalties

will wipe you out.

You can walk away

from this if...

you walk empty-handed.

I didn't think we'd

be coming out of there.

Christ, Arbogast,

he is so good.

I had no idea.

You didn't really think that I

would leave you in there, did you?

Yeah.

One hell of a ride, huh?

Yeah.

Hell of a ride.

Bye-bye.

- Bye.

Bye, Nina.

Barry.

Come on, boys.

Hey, Junior.

- Hey, hey.

Long time no see.

I know. The place

is looking nice.

Yes, it is,

isn't it?

Hey, Bridget.

Oh!

Jackie!

- Jackie!

How you doing, girl?

I've missed you.

How was the honeymoon?

Was it?

Yeah, tell.

Two very fine days.

That's it.

Oh, and the five of us crammed

up in that tiny apartment.

Boy, you really got have

a good sense of humor.

And we got

the two incomes, so...

I can't complain.

Wow.

- Wow.

Well, Bob got his job back.

- Okay!

And I'm waitressing.

And we figure

in five years,

we're going

to South America.

We're driving all

the way to the bottom.

There you go.

Junior--

- There you go, ladies.

This one's

on the house.

Like old times.

No sh*t.

We're going back to...

work?

Bob has access

to a lot of beef.

No. No.

No.

Okay.

- Yes, no.

Okay.

But we're moving.

To the Caribbean.

We're gonna open a little

bed-and-breakfast.

I'm gonna cook.

Don's gonna manage it

of course.

We've been talking

about this for years.

But we're just

kinda waiting

until it's not..,

so hot.

Hot?

It's chilly out.

Yeah.

Hey, wait. Did you ever hear

that expression "mad money?"

My mother used to say,

"Every woman should keep

a little mad money

tucked away just in case."

Do you use mad money

when you go mad

or when you get mad?

Why don't you

decide for yourself?

Junior?

Uh-huh!

- Come on.

Watch your step.

Do you know?

- No.

What are you up to?

Why are we down here?

Relax. You just have to

have a little patience.

Does this

look familiar?

Oh!

Holy sh*t!

- Oh!

Who did it?

- I did! Me!

Oh, my God!

You sneaky

criminal mastermind!

Oh!
