Yeah?
- Hi.
- Hi.
Uh, me and my buddy we're having
a little trouble with our car.
We were wondering
if we could use your phone.
I'm sorry, I don't have a phone.
Oh, that's okay,
we don't have a car.
I don't get it.
This clear it up for you?
No, I'm afraid not.
You see, I'm blind.
It's, uh, not a permanent condition.
It comes and goes.
DEX:
We could've killed you,you know that.
It's a natural instinct for a man
to defend his home and property.
Worth giving your life up for?
Well, not that particular
property, it's rented.
Well, what the hell you doing
up there all alone, a**hole?
That's okay,
you can call me Nick.
I'm a writer,
I'm working on a book.
What line of work you fellas in?
Stop at the next station,
a**hole.
We need some gas.
- Carmel.
Oh, yeah? Nice town.
Got a nice bank too.
You ever knock off a bank?
Me?
Not that I can recall.
Well, this will be
your first time.
We're gonna rob a bank?
You, me and Bee Gee.
What do we want to do that for?
Because that's our line of work.
- I see.
Pull in there, writer.
Now you remember
where this gun is.
Right side, middle of the ribs.
- Fill it up.
Fill it up.
Premium?
- Regular.
- Premium.
- Premium will be fine.
Want me to check the hood?
- Yeah.
- No.
No. It's already
been checked, thanks.
Any chance of my
going to the john?
- None.
- Just relax.
- I'm relaxed.
Nice day for a drive.
Tell me, where you boys heading?
- Carmel.
- Oregon.
Oregon.
Then right up to Oregon,
that's our home up there.
Nice country.
Eighteen even.
Eighteen even.
Pay the man.
You have my wallet.
- Business.
- Vacation.
- Vacation. On a fishing trip.
Eighteen out of $20.
Here you are.
Yeah, keep the change.
- We know the way.
- Thank you.
- Move it.
I don't know.
We may have to call it off.
I don't think we're gonna find
a parking space.
Just keep circling
Can I ask a dumb question?
What do you need me for?
Because you got
a nice honest face.
You're gonna walk up to the teller,
smile, and hand her this note.
BOTH:
"This is a stick-up.Put all your money in a bag.
"Make one sound
and you're dead."
It's good. Good writing.
Take it from a pro.
Thanks.
You see?
There's a spot, across the
street from the bank.
What am I supposed to do
with this?
Just open your jacket
and let the lady sees it.
Then she'll know
you mean business.
Let's go.
Supposing, once we get inside I
decide to blow your heads off?
How? We don't have no bullets.
- Just kidding.
- Let's go.
TELLER:
There you go.Thank you. Bye-bye.
Next?
Next?
- Yes, you can.
What is this?
Read it.
It's self-explanatory.
- Oh, my God!
- I know. I know.
- Oh, my God!
- I feel the same way.
What do I do?
I don't know.
Let's take a look.
"Stick-up,
put all your money in a bag.
"One more sound
and you're dead."
- Bless you.
Oh, uh
- Please pick it up.
- No, leave it. Leave it there.
Or you can pick it up.
Whatever you
- I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know either.
You want change too?
- Yes, please.
- Okay.
- No change. Keep the change.
Listen, I have nothing
to do with this.
It's those two guys
over there by the desk.
Look at them.
This isn't even loaded.
Oh, God, please, don't hurt me.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
- Hi, Helen.
- Hello, Mrs. Herman.
Mrs. Herman, would you mind
going to the next window?
I'm getting a payroll.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
Listen, do me a favor.
Tell the police I had nothing
to do with this, okay?
Thank you. Nice job.
MAN:
Is he all right?Oh, sh*t!
Jesus!
Well, I'm thrilled, too,
Stanley.
Well, you know
how I've wanted it.
I think I can do
a hell of a job for you.
Well, thank you,
that means a lot to me.
I've got some ideas
for the campaign
I'd like to sit down
and discuss with you.
Why don't we have dinner
next week?
Tuesday night at our house?
Aurora's chicken pepperoni.
I know how you love it.
Thank you very much.
It's set. Attorney general,
state of California.
The Governor's backing me.
- Congratulations, Ira.
- Thanks, Fred.
I always knew you'd make it.
I've been saving these
for four years.
Starting to grow ferns.
Let's not smoke them
until you see this.
In a second.
Jackie, would you get me
my wife, please.
: Yes, sir.
- Call her later, please.
Well, hold that a second,
Jackie. What's wrong?
- No.
He looks a little
like my wife's first husband.
- Your wife's first husband.
Gardenia
Knocked off the Bank
of the Pacific in Carmel.
Got $7,000 plus.
Walked in,
handed the girl a note,
flashed a gun and walked out.
If they still want you for Attorney
General, this could be your first case.
Is this a gag?
This is a government agency.
You know we don't have
a sense of humor.
He was seen driving away
with two unidentified men.
Putz. Putz.
Doesn't even know
how to rob a bank,
looks right into the camera.
Couldn't ask
for a better picture.
What is he wearing, makeup?
This, plus the fact that he spent
for the opposition.
personally smuggling in the drugs.
They found him in the car with
five kilos and four Mexicans.
A three and a half minute trial,
you don't call that justice.
Ira, you've got my vote.
But we're living in
a very conservative state.
You're gonna have image trouble.
The sooner he's caught,
the better off we are.
What are the police doing?
The usual. Roadblocks, a couple
of helicopters, dogs, big dogs.
Anything else?
Can we call the Air Force and
ask for saturation bombing?
Thanks a lot, Glenda.
JUDGE:
Mrs. Parks,why the sentence should not now
be imposed on your clients?
No, Your Honor.
All right.
In view of the extenuating
circumstances in this case,
I'm willing
to release your clients,
Robert Broken Feather
and Thomas Jefferson Wolf Call,
on probation.
Thank you, Your Honor.
I wish to make it clear, however,
that I do not condone their behavior.
And that is a condition
for probation.
They're gonna have to make restitution
to the Welfare Department
for some $326.41 in damages.
What would you do, Your Honor,
if the government withheld your
welfare checks for six months
because of a clerical error?
I would try to get along
on my pension.
I want to see these two young
men in my court in three weeks,
gainfully employed or showing
just cause why they're not.
Otherwise, I shall reconsider
my reconsiderations.
I will personally see to it
they have jobs.
We don't know
how to thank you, Mrs. Parks.
We're really grateful.
It's okay.
Can we buy you a beer?
No, you can't buy me a beer,
you're on probation.
Try Dr Pepper.
I want to see you both in my
office at 9:
00 in the morning.There's ranch in Topanga Canyon that
needs some help with their horses.
Are you interested?
Uh, we can't ride.
Can't ride? Terrific.
