Let's go.

-How much did we get?

-We got a bunch.

-How was I? Was I good?

-You scared the sh*t out of me.

Hit it, hit it. Just hit it.

Hit it. Let's go.

Make a left here.

-What do we got?

-I don't know. I can't tell yet. It's fat.

-What is it? Twenties, 30s, 50s?

-Yeah, there's 20s. There's no 30s, man.

-Any ones?

-Yeah, there's a few ones.

-A couple hundreds.

-What would you say, 20, 30,000? Forty?

What's that look like?

What's that look like to you, huh?

-What's this look like, huh?

-Let me feel it.

Come on. A**hole.

Put it up your f***ing snoot, baby.

-Man.

-We got more f***ing money here....

Let's go over to your place

and cut it up.

-Put it in the bathroom, lock the door--

-Right on the floor.

From now on, when I say go, though, man,

we gotta go, man.

-When I yell, ''Go,'' go.

-The clock--

The clock, my ass.

We always go through this sh*t.

I'll dock you 8 grand you stopped me

from getting from that last teller.

Eight thousand f***ing dollars.

It was like pulling teeth

to get you out of the f***ing place.

So we scored.

-Do you like it?

-Not really. What are we doing here?

Let me buy you something.

What about the earrings?

-I think it's a set.

-Look at the ring.

The price tag on it's $91 35.

-I bet that bracelet's worth more than--

-Hello. May I help you?

-How much is that?

-Eighteen thousand.

-What about this one here?

-Forty-seven five for the set.

-With tax or without?

Where's ladies' watches?

This counter right over here.

What are you doing?

-I'm getting you a watch.

-I don't want a watch.

-Hi.

-Hi. May I show you something?

-Can we see some ladies' watches?

-Certainly.

-This entire counter, all ladies' watches.

-How about your best one?

Best one? Is right here.

-That's all right.

-Isn't that a lovely watch?

It's disgusting.

-Let's see this one here.

-Certainly.

-I don't like those diamonds.

-Let me put this back.

That's nice.

-How much is that?

-That's $2000.

I can't wear that to work.

You'd better show us something

less expensive. She has very simple tastes.

It's my upbringing.

What can I tell you?

Here, let's try this one.

-How much is that one?

-This one is $900.

That's pretty. What make is that?

Sir? Excuse me.

Where are you going?

I was just looking for your restroom.

I'm sorry, but we don't have

a public restroom here.

There's a coffee shop two doors down.

They'll allow you to use their facilities.

Thanks. Did you get what you wanted?

-I like this the best.

-We'll have to think about it.

-Very well.

-We'll be back.

-Thank you for coming in.

-Bye-bye.

-Bye-bye.

-Goodbye.

-Is there anything else to see upstairs?

-No, those are the executive offices.

All right.

Look, this is Wilshire Boulevard

right here, right?

All right. Here's the doors.

Now, there's glass windows on either side,

and they're tinted, Jerry.

From the outside, you cannot see in.

But inside, you can see

all the action outside.

We didn't have that on the bank, right?

When I was in there,

the lady showed me one case.

In one case, there was over

In one case?

What do you think?

I don't know.

Beverly Hills is rough, man.

It scares the sh*t out of me, Beverly Hills.

Why's that?

I don't know.

Well, how many cops they got there?

They got 1 00 cops

in six square miles, you know.

That's, you know, 20 cops

to the square mile, or whatever it is.

What's the response time?

Three minutes?

-Three minutes?

-What'd make you feel safe in there?

F*** Beverly Hills.

F*** those cops, man. They're just cops.

They can't be faster than three minutes.

The alarm goes off when we start sacking.

Let the alarm go.

Would you feel safe

for a minute and a half?

Bob. I gotta get out of here, man.

They're waiting on me.

Hey, tell the old lady that owns the house

to sign this, not her mother, all right?

-All right.

-Right up.

You know next week

you don't have to do that?

-I wanna see you with nice clothes.

-How much longer you gonna be?

-Yeah, I'll be there in a minute.

-Okay.

Don't you wanna tan your face?

You wanna live in that neighborhood?

Don't you want a new car?

You're a thief.

Why don't you be a thief?

Did you like doing that bank?

Did you feel good doing that bank,

holding that shotgun?

-Did you feel good working with me?

-Yeah.

You wanna do it?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. What about a driver?

Mickey Barber, the other night,

introduced me to a guy.

I knew his brother.

He said he's a good wheelman.

-How you doing?

-Good.

-Jerry, Willy.

-Hey, man, I've heard a lot about you.

Here. I'll get it for you.

Watch your feet.

-Who is that guy?

-What?

-Is that the guy Mickey sent?

-No.

-No?

-It fell through.

-What do you mean?

-Did you get the plates of the car changed?

The car is one half-hour hot and

the plates are changed. I did everything.

You should have told me. That was wrong.

Do you hear me? That was wrong.

-Where are we going?

-Just keep going. We'll talk about it later.

-Right here?

-Go straight toward it.

All right. Now, you're gonna back in

that first spot there.

Go ahead. Take it easy.

Soon as you get in,

I'll tell you what we're doing.

-Oh, sh*t, I'm sorry.

-Take it easy, all right?

Okay, you see that door over there?

We'll be out in a few minutes.

As soon as we're out, open both doors.

We get in and split. You got it?

-Yeah.

-How do you feel?

-Do I keep the car running?

-Yeah. All right?

-I'm okay.

-You ready to hit it?

-Yeah.

-All right, let's go.

Just relax, man.

How do you feel?

Feel great. Except for that driver, man.

Don't worry about it.

-You should have told me about it.

-All right, let's do this.

-How's the vibes?

-Everything's all right.

-A lot of traffic, a lot of people.

-I'd kiss you, but you're too ugly.

No, it's too yellow. Thank you.

Well, may I see the 1 0 mm, please?

Yes.

Well, yes, I like the pink....

-I need a 24-carat ring.

-Well, we can order that. No problem.

What about--?

Pardon me. What are you doing?

Can you step back, please?

Do what you're told

and you won't get hurt.

Get up against the wall! Face the wall!

Sorry, sir. Will you step back in there

before you get shot?

-How do you feel?

-Go ahead, get some.

-We've got a minute and a half.

-Go on, there.

What's the time?

-What's the time?

-One minute.

Get it all.

Twenty seconds to go.

Let's go.

-Let's go! Let's hit it.

-We've got time.

Time's up! Let's go!

Hey. Hey, let's go, man.

Let's go, man.

We've gotta get out of here.

There was another piece here.

I don't believe this, man.

I really don't believe this.

-There's gonna be an army out there, man.

-Where was it?

-I don't know.

-There was a big piece here.

This is the last goddamn time, man.

This is it.

The poker game was the same way,

the driver, the whole goddamn thing.

This is it. It's all over.

You're a child, man. You act like

a 2-year-old child, for chrissake.

I know you like a book.
