The Maiden Heist Page #6

Synopsis: Three middle-age guards learn that their museum has sold a wing of art to a Danish museum. Each has a favorite in that collection, and none can imagine life without the peace and completion it brings. Though mere acquaintances, they plot a theft of the three pieces between the time they are packed and the time they're loaded onto a plane. First each must obtain a forgery; then, they have to smuggle the forgeries into the museum and find a way to make the switches. The heist is complicated by Roger's intrusive wife - he's promised her a trip to Florida for their anniversary - and George's proclivity for taking his clothes off when standing in front of the warrior statue he loves.

-No, no, no.

Don`t explain anything. I know that Roger

has a little surprise planned for us.

-I don`t want you to ruin it.

-Okay, I won`t.

-Step on it, Charles.

-Yeah, yeah, yes.

Wait, wait, wait.

Why are we stopping here, guys?

The airport`s over there.

We have to drop the crate off...

-This is cargo.

-...and pick up George.

-George?

-He`s another friend of mine.

I told him we`d pick him up.

Who are all these friends of yours?

I never met George.

I`ll be right back.

Charles is gonna stay with you.

-We have a plane to catch.

-I am?

I`ll be right back.

-ls this part of the surprise?

-ln a way.

I`ve never even heard of George.

Thirty-two years, and all of a sudden

he`s got all these friends.

-Do you know George?

-Yes.

I mean, yes.

Yes, he`s a friend, like Roger said.

A nice guy.

A little tense, but then who isn`t, right?

-How`s it going? You two getting along?

-Roger!

I hope you realize

we are going to miss our plane!

We`re fine, Rose. Plenty of time.

We`re going to miss our plane.

-George, is that you?

-Yes!

Yes, yes, it`s me! Get me out of here, Roger!

My legs are falling asleep!

I can`t feel my toes!

-Okay. Okay, George.

-Get me out of here as fast as you can!

Can I help you with something, mister?

Yes, as a matter of fact, you can.

You see, I need to get this crate

into that van ASAP.

-And you are?

-I work for the museum.

I`m a security guard. Some items got sent off

when they shouldn`t have,

-and they sent me to work it out.

-Do you have paperwork?

Nobody said anything about paperwork.

Well, then, you don`t get no crate.

That`s how that works.

You see, maybe we can talk about this.

Because l`ve been sent to pick up this crate.

I had a cat when I was a little girl.

A white cat.

Her name was Snuggles.

Well, this is Renoir.

Like the painter.

-Roger loves paintings.

-I know.

This is ridiculous.

Roger!

Roger! Roger! What are you doing up here?

What are you doing?

I told you to wait in the van!

It is 10:
.20! We need to go right now!

-Excuse me, miss...

-We`re going, we`re going.

We need to go. Where`s your friend George?

You said you were coming up here

to get your friend George.

Are you George?

-Who is George?

-Sir, please.

Rose, l`ve got things under control.

-Give me one more minute, I promise you.

-Roger,

I love surprises, I do. I`m very touched.

But we need to...

I can`t leave here without this crate!

Listen, buddy, I already told you,

you`re not getting the crate...

One second, please.

Rose, I know how much this trip

means to you,

and I know l`ve been acting crazy lately,

but it`s all going to end soon.

We`re gonna make that plane. I just

need you to please, please, wait in the van.

Roger.

We`re going to Florida.

We`re gonna make that plane.

Here`s the deal. That`s my wife, Rose.

In less than 20 minutes, I promised her

we`d be on a plane to Florida.

It`s our anniversary.

It`ll break her heart if we don`t go,

but I cannot leave here

until I get this crate into that van.

Are you a married man, Leo?

Then you know what l`m talking about.

Give me a break.

I really do work for the museum.

That`s my wife. That`s my crazy wife.

What a guy!

Why are we turning off here? We need to go

to Departures! Is this a shortcut, Roger?

-Yeah. We`ll try. We`ll try.

-We are never going to make it.

We are gonna have to go all the way.

-Pull over here. Right over here.

-No, no, don`t stop!

-Pull over.

-Roger, why are we stopping?

-Hang on, George!

-What are we doing?

You`re almost free.

Hang on, George!

-What are you doing?

-l`m free at last! I`m free!

Why are you naked?

-Hi.

-Roger, is this the surprise?

-Turn away! That`s my wife.

-This is our friend George.

-You must be Rose.

-Put your pants on!

-Are we going to Florida?

-Guys!

We did it! We did it!

I cannot believe we did it!

Yes! We did it!

We did it!

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to sunny Miami, Florida,

where the local temperature is 86 degrees.

Please be careful when opening

your overhead compartments...

Roger?

Roger?

Roger?

Roger?

Roger.

Just a minute. Stay there.

Stay right... What?

Are you feeling okay?

Are you all right, Roger?

Roger.

George? Roger`s here.

Roger! Welcome home, man.

I think you`ll find

we`ve made some improvements.

George and I thought

they deserved a more appropriate setting.

She`s all yours, Roger.

Charles, l`m gonna put these on

down in your apartment.

Sure.

What the hell?

-Okay. All right. Bye.

-Okay.

-Hey, George?

-Yeah?

We did good.

Roger.

-We did good.

-We sure did.

See you tomorrow.
