- They're plastic, too.

- You don't have to water them.

Just leave 'em alone

and they'll last forever.

That's good to know.

Thank you very much, boys.

I'll be sure to thank the dean

when I see him. Goodbye.

That takes care of the first part. We gotta

set up a watch on this radio day and night

till we find out what's going on.

[Arno] Get a load of Dean Higgins

sending me flowers.

He must really be in a panic.

He must think I'm going to foreclose

on him. You know something, he's right!

[Guard] All right, let's give us a little room,

would you please.

What do you know, a bank taking

in money. That's pretty good.

In this area, Friday's payday.

The bank cashes a lot of paychecks.

People coming in from all over.

So, if you ever need any dough on a

Friday, you know where to come.

That's pretty good.

- So long, Mr. Arno.

- I'll be seeing you.

[Cookie] 20 more points,

I got you in a blitz.

I wish you'd concentrate.

I feel like I'm taking advantage of you.

You threw this eighter?

- Again? Man, you are killing me.

- I don't know why you threw me the eight.

[Cookie] You know I need the eight.

Why'd you throw it?

- I needed the eight.

- [Alfred] I did not know.

If I'd known,

I wouldn't have thrown it to you.

Okay, boys, put the cards away.

We got business.

- Big business.

- [Cookie] What's up, chief?

Alfred, first of all, I want you to go out

and get a car.

Something nondescript

that people won't notice.

Use a phony name,

so it can't be traced back to us.

I'm on my way.

I'm on my way.

- But his ice cream will melt.

- Will you shut up and listen?

Cookie, this will be the first one of many.

If there was a chance of getting caught,

I wouldn't try it, but there's no way.

Invisible men walk into the bank.

Spray the money invisible.

Invisible men walk out.

- The crime of the century.

- [Cookie] What are you talking about?

Cookie, at exactly 1:00 today,

you and I are hitting the Medfield Bank.

Vertical line, add on,

using the principle of repetition...

we see what is commonly referred to

as the Roman Keyhole effect.

But this in fact can be traced back

to the early Phoenicians.

Early Phoenician art can be traced back

to the Franco-Cantabian-Paleolithic age,

when the first implements fashioned

by the hand and mind of man appeared.

A fascinating question arises

as to whether western naturalistic art

ever made contact with the Caspian

and Neolithic pre-Egyptian world.

In order to study

the Phoenician art form,

we must first investigate

the lifestyle of the period.

And the accomplishments of these people.

Pssst!

[Professor] It is interesting to note...

- Pssst!

- [Professor]... that the color purple

was first found by the early Phoenicians

in a Mediterranean shellfish...

Excuse me, Professor.

...by the name of Murex.

- Excuse me.

- That is found in the Mediterranean Sea.

An extract by the name of Murex.

Murex, which is spelled...

M...

M...

So, that's what they're planning.

If we can get that formula back,

we can still win that award.

They don't announce the winner till tonight.

You go to the police

and tell them what you heard.

The rest of us will go down to the bank.

Let's go!

Now, you're sure about this?

You could be in an awful lot of trouble

if you're wrong.

Yes, sir, I understand that.

I'll guarantee it.

Burns, I think you better go around

and warn all the tellers.

But Mr. Sampson...

I'm not saying shoot to kill.

Just to keep an eye on him, that's all.

Excuse me, sir, keeping an eye on him

won't do any good.

Why not?

You won't be able to see them.

What?

You see, they'll be invisible.

And they'll make the money invisible too,

so... you really won't see anything.

You'll just find the money gone.

That's all.

How do you propose to stop all this?

In order to make the money visible,

all we have to do is wet them down.

Wet them down?

Wet them down, I see.

I suppose you're suggesting we drive

a fire truck right in here to the bank.

Something like that?

I didn't mean that exactly.

This is the biggest bunch of nonsense

I've ever heard in my life.

Burns, you may return to your duties.

Good day, Mr. Riley.

Mr. Sampson...

- What happened?

- What'd he say?

- He wouldn't believe us.

- Nobody believes us.

Hey, guys! How'd it go?

[Dexter] Nothing.

What did the police say?

- They said I was nuts.

- It's enough to drive you crazy.

We could solve the school's problems

and save the bank,

if we could just get

somebody to listen to us!

Wait a second! Water!

Don't you see? Go to the hardware store

and get a fire hose and a wrench.

- Hurry up. We haven't got much time left.

- Let's go!

- [Dick] Here he comes.

- [Dexter] Get down!

[Cookie] How 'bout this?

A spot right in front of the joint!

[Arno] Just don't hit the car

in back of you, stupid!

[Footsteps]

Hurry, those guys are in there already.

A few more of these

and we can break for lunch.

It's about time. My stomach's

been growling for the last hour.

Why don't we go to Eddy's?

He's got great chili.

[Yelping]

We don't have to have chili.

We could have hot dogs and beans.

What's the matter with you?

[Arno] Cookie, spray all the loot,

then put that thing under your coat.

Gotcha, boss.

- [Cookie] This stuff really works!

- [Arno] Okay, let's get out of here.

- Come on, Schuylar, step on it!

- I am!

Will you hurry?

They'll be gone in a second!

It's stuck!

I bet nobody's turned it in years.

Give it all you got!

[Cookie] This money's

heavier than I thought.

[Arno] Will you keep quiet?

Come on, they're getting away!

Got it!

Those are the wrong guys!

Turn it off!

They're heading for the West End.

You and Dick, get down to Taylor Street.

See if you can't cut 'em off at Osbourne.

Burns, what's happened?

I don't know. I was just standing here

and the lights went out.

That kid was right.

Why didn't you listen to him?

Operator, get me the police.

[Cookie] Nice day, officer.

[Cookie] It's them kids!

- What do we do, boss? We're trapped.

- [Arno] I'll show you!

- [Gunshots]

- [Screaming]

Everybody stay down.

- [Air hissing from tire]

- [Schuylar] Oh, no.

Okay, kids, clear out

or we're coming out to get you!

Dexter, maybe we'd better be on our way.

Schuylar, stay behind your car.

[Sirens wailing]

[Cookie] Now we got cops. I don't like it.

[Schuylar] The police!

Come on, Sergeant.

[Dexter] We got 'em trapped.

Watch out!

What's going on here?

Let's get these cars out of here.

- I got to get to a bank robbery.

- We got the robbers trapped in that car.

- You what?

- You can't see them, that's all.

- You what?

- You can't see them, that's all.

Don't you give me any more

of that invisible nonsense.

I had enough down at the station!

[Gunshot]

You know something, boy,

I'm beginning to believe you.

- Shall we shoot, Sarge?

- What at?

- [Arno] Let's get out of here.

- [Cookie] You're the boss.

[Sergeant] They're going to ram us.
