The Maiden Heist Page #4

for our anniversary.

You old dog, you.

I didn`t know you were that romantic.

Florida? What`s this thing about Florida?

I can`t help it. Rose thinks we`re going.

-Who`s Rose? Your wife?

-Yeah.

-Why does she think that?

-I told her we were.

-You told her you were going?

-lt`s a long story!

Did you know about this?

No, I didn`t know about it. I just found out.

Why are we having this emergency meeting?

Well, Roger, we can`t have you going AWOL.

Not now.

We`ve done too much planning.

You`re gonna go to Needlebaum,

you tell him

there`s been a big misunderstanding.

You`re not going on any trip.

You tell him to put you back on the list.

He`ll understand.

Well, what about Rose?

What am I going to tell her?

-Hey, man. I can`t complain. I`m all right.

-How you doing?

Hey, who`s working the move?

Kind of sick of looking

at the same old junk around here, huh?

Yeah, it`ll be a relief.

Well, take care, fellows.

-Okay, man.

-See you.

-Roger, we can`t do it without you.

-Let me ask you something.

-Who calls the shots in your house?

-I do, but she`s not going to like this.

She doesn`t have to like it.

Women respond to authority and leadership.

They may say they don`t, but they do.

Your wife responds to that?

-Who?

-Yours.

My wife has nothing to do with this.

We are talking about his wife.

Come on, man.

-Stand up! Be a man.

-I do!

-Charlie, what`s with him?

-I don`t...

Rose, that`s the way it`s gonna be.

We`re not going.

That`s the way it`s gonna be.

What? You want to argue with me? Okay.

That`s it. That`s the way it`s going to be.

It`s final.

That`s it.

Hey, Roger, your guy did a great job.

That looks exactly the same.

There`s something missing. The glow.

And she`s clearly not as lonely in this one.

-Yeah, and mine`s missing something, too.

-No, no, no, no, no, guys.

Of course they don`t look perfect for us.

We`ve stood in front of the real pieces

for months! Years!

We`ve come to know them in ways that

the average person will never understand.

Look at the... Look at the Bronze Warrior.

Look at the sense of power,

the feeling of potency.

The abs. And yet,

this is no substitute for the original.

It`s not important how they make us feel.

What important

is whether some guy in Denmark

is going to recognize them as fakes!

Yeah.

-We go?

-We go.

It`s 6:
40 a.m.,

and you`re tuned to Boston`s All-Talk Radio.

It`s a brisk 44 degrees out there,

with lots of sunshine...

-Hi, Bob.

-A little early, aren`t you?

Got a big day.

You know, there`s only so much I can say.

-Yeah, so...

-Hey!

I thought you were... I was looking at...

Never mind, never mind. I`m losing my mind!

Woman Reading. C-21.

This one`s fine.

Let`s carry Mother and Child over...

Looks like this is C-21.

-Got it.

-lt`s good.

Watch it.

Who`s taking care of...

We`re good.

Damn it!

Phil, would you mind finishing

these last few for me?

I`ve been at it all day. I need a break.

Sure thing, Roger.

-l`m here.

-Charlie. I`m glad to see you.

George?

-What took you so long?

-l`m sorry, I couldn`t get away.

-How you doing in there?

-l`m all right.

I bought this for you

at the vending machine.

-I thought you might get hungry later.

-Roger, l`ve been trained to endure hardship.

In Nam, soldiers would go for days

in the jungle without food.

I thought you said

you were in the Grenada lnvasion?

No, l`m...

-How`s the paintings?

-They`re right here. Everything`s fine.

Let`s try this one more time.

Blue Dragon, this is Red Dragon.

-Don`t forget these.

-Thanks.

-Good luck.

-Roger.

What?

-l`ll see you tomorrow.

-Yeah, yeah. Get this lid on, but be quiet.

Keep it quiet!

Red Dragon. Come in, Red Dragon.

What is it, Blue Dragon?

Red Dragon, it just occurred to me.

I don`t think I can get you onto the cart.

It`s too heavy with you in there.

I`m sorry, it just occurred to me.

-Here, let me...

-l`ve got it.

Quiet.

Come on.

We need somebody...

We need somebody else to help.

There`s nobody else. Come on.

Now, wait, wait, wait a second.

-Okay...

-No, this is no good.

What if we maybe get...

Well, we have to get over here.

-What do we do now?

-Okay, just push it.

-Okay, okay...

-Put it down. Put it down.

-With the arthritis, it`s very hard.

-lt`s all right. What we need to do...

Leverage. We need some sort of a lever.

Okay, okay, okay.

Right. Push.

Just push it.

All right, bring over A-19.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What? You guys still got more?

Yes. This one is part of a special collection.

A couple of pieces had to be wrapped

separately. It took a little longer.

-Okay, pops, we`ll get it from here.

-lt`s kind of heavy.

-Hey, Pauly!

-Yo!

Come here a minute.

Give me a hand with this, would you?

Come on, get over on the end here.

-I can help.

-No, no, no, you`re all right.

-You just take it easy, pops.

-Thanks.

Me and Pauly`s got it. Get it.

-Yeah, it`s really heavy.

-Jesus Christ!

Here, put it down! Put it down!

Put it down! Yeah!

-Wow! Yeah.

-Get the pallet jack.

-What`d you say was in this?

-lt`s a special collection.

It`s a few different pieces, actually.

-That`ll do it.

-Thank you. Get somebody else...

-I can help.

-No, no, not you! I mean, no offense.

I mean, l`m sure you could lift it,

but we got guys who do this.

-We`re professionals.

-l`m not as old as I look.

I`m not calling you old.

I know I said ``old man,``

I didn`t mean ``old man.``

-All right, thank you. Thank you very much.

-Sure thing.

-Come to me.

-Are you going to put it here in this room?

It`s a warehouse, right?

That`s where we`re gonna put it.

-But this room?

-Yeah.

-Over here someplace. Good.

-Yeah, right in the room.

With the other stuff.

We`re all set. Thank you very much.

-All set.

-Okay. Good, good, good.

-Bye. Thank you.

-Thank you.

Down this end.

This is Red Dragon. Start your watches.

All clear. I`m coming out now.

Blue Dragon, check.

Yellow Dragon, check.

I`m starting with Yellow Dragon`s.

-That`s good.

-How does she look?

-She looks fine. I`m making the switch now.

And the cats? What about the cats?

Do they look good?

They look fine. Now, will you please shut up

and let me work?

Sorry, but be careful, okay?

She`s very delicate.
