It's going to be fine.

What?

You know what fine stands for?

Freaked Out. Insecure...

Neurotic, and Emotional.

You'll be great.

Yeah.

Morning.

Can I see some l.D.?

Thanks for coming so soon.

Hey, that's part of the job.

All right.

Aston Martin Vanquish.

Looks like that bastard

took my car.

Nasty-ass dogs.

Hey! Hey!

Relax,

Jesus Christ.

Come on,

they won't bother you now.

Come on.

House.

Go on, get out of here.

It's okay,

I'm used to running into

all sorts of animals on my job.

Steve Frazelli.

Becky.

Want to show me that problem?

Yeah, of course.

This way.

You have a really nice house.

Yeah. 1922.

All the original tiles.

Every stone in that courtyard

hauled from some

monastery in Seville.

What a tactic.

Monastery?

Monastery for punk-ass creeps.

You don't seem impressed.

No, it's just that I don't think

lugging a bunch of rocks

from one place to another

is quite... that interesting.

You know, it doesn't quite

do it for me.

What does do it for you?

Um... TVs?

I have a monster TV.

Not working right now, but...

But you know, I should

probably check out

the cable modem, you know.

Yeah? Yeah, right.

Over here.

I paid 30 grand to some punk kid

to put this system in.

One day, it just goes out.

I ought to have him strung up.

Here we go.

There's our baby.

We got him.

Got any, uh, wiring

coming through here?

There's no wiring in here.

Just right here?

Yeah.

Look at that, that's my...

That's my NAD T770.

That's...

That's my stereo.

I bet most of your customers

are pretty surprised when

they go to open the door

for the cable man

and find you standing there.

Oh, yeah.

He's hitting on her.

There's no problem here.

I should maybe

just check the TVs.

Okay.

You know what,

end this sh*t right now.

I'm going to blow this sh*t

right off the mountain

right now.

No, no, no.

No, no, hey, hey, hey.

I see you got the AVM processor.

Only the best.

Check the box.

I'm just going to...

reset your system.

Sometimes these things just get

jammed up you know?

That should do it.

It's fixed?

Turn her on, let's see.

Now.

Japan's Nikkei index...

Perfect.

...was the ending price

and as you can see,

we've now gone below...

Becky, huh?

Have we met before?

...a loss of 1.1 percent

on the...

No, I don't think so.

If you can just sign there.

So, if I was to ask you

out to dinner...

would I be the first

one of your customers

to ever do that?

What, you asked your last cable

repair guy out for a date?

No, but the last one

was, like, 300 pounds,

had a handlebar mustache.

You know, not really my type.

I don't think it's a good idea.

Why, is that, like,

some, cable company rule?

No, actually, it's just my rule.

I don't go out

with strange men.

I just met you five minutes ago.

So, I guess I have to, like,

sabotage my cable, you know,

till we get to know each other

well enough.

Have a nice day.

Come on,

I'll be a perfect

gentleman, I promise.

I won't even ask you

for your phone number.

I'll just... I'll meet you.

Anywhere you want to go.

Come on, break your rule once.

It's just dinner.

Is that a yes?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

He touched my hand.

He came on to me.

Hey, at least l...

I created a window

of opportunity, right?

When he goes out Friday night,

we go in.

By the time he realizes

you've stood him up,

we'll be long gone

with that gold.

Yeah.

Make sure you shuffle

them cards this time, Left.

Hey, Lyle,

what's the distance between

the front door and the vault?

Don't deal

when my back's turned.

You've got that loser's

paranoia.

Lyle!

He only answers

to The Napster now, Charlie.

No.

I'm not calling you The Napster.

Why not, you call him Left Ear.

Well, I am.

And him, Handsome Rob.

Well, that's because

he is Handsome Rob.

Well, you can call me

The Napster.

Come on, they were at the

same college at the same time.

Why are you encouraging this?

It is a verifiable fact--

he was my roommate,

he stole my ideas.

I am The Napster.

All right, all right.

What is the distance

between the front door

and the vault, Napster?

It's farther

than you want to carry it.

Yeah, but, so,

how do we get the gold

from the vault

to the getaway car?

How wide is the hallway...

Napster?

Six feet.

Okay, you've got your gold.

Whoo!

We need more cars

to handle the weight.

Looks like I'm going to need

some help

with the custom work, too.

I know a man for the job.

So I modified the camera

to include the...

so we can create really

hi-res digital maps.

Who's that?

Rob's mechanic friend.

-Hey, Charlie.

-Hey.

Charlie, this is Wrench.

Hey, what's up, man?

Rob tells me you

got real talent.

We need some body work done.

Need to pack up to 2,700 pounds

of cargo in these Minis

with enough suspension

and horsepower

to outrun anything chasing us.

Of whatever.

So, what do I get out

of this mystery deal, man?

All right.

What comes around...

Oh, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey.

We didn't get a chance

to meet yet.

Wrench.

Ham and cheese.

Oh. Oh, that's cold.

Damn, that's cold. Mmm.

What comes around

Just comes around

What comes around

What comes around...

You want all greens?

'Cause, ah, 'cause you got them.

What have you got?

Welcome to L.A.'s

Automated Traffic Surveillance

and Control Operations Center.

See, they use video feeds

from intersections

and specifically designed

algorithms

to predict traffic conditions,

and thereby control

traffic lights, so

all I did was come up

with my own

kick-ass algorithm to sneak in,

and now we own the place.

You want to do a dry run?

I thought you'd never ask.

See, red light?

Green light.

-Danielson?

-Yeah?

What's up with Grid 34?

Let's check it out.

Hey, hey.

Oh, oops, did l...?

Oops, wow, but it's awesome.

Is that not awesome?

-Can you change it back now?

-Yeah.

Lights are working fine.

Just an accident.

That's good.

What are those?

Unnecessary engine parts.

I lost your smog controls,

and 200 pounds of body fat.

You got yourself

a sweet ride now, Charlie.

Put the pedal to the metal

and I'm off

And never getting lost

Which way will I turn

when roads cross?

Press the petal to the metal,

little more when it's scary

But one thing for sure,

keep my foot on the floor

Put the pedal to the metal

and I'm off

And never getting lost

Which way will I turn

when roads cross?

Press the petal to the metal,

little more when it's scary

But one thing for sure,

keep my foot on the floor

Won't stop driving

till it's over

Still be cruising

when the sun goes down

Won't stop driving

till it's over

Put the pedal to the metal

and I'm off

And never getting lost

Which way will I turn

when roads cross?

Press the petal to the metal,

little more when it's scary

But one thing for sure,

keep my foot on the floor...

You know what

I'm thinking about right now?

The look on Steve's face.

You're early.

I'm in a hurry.

Of course, you know

that the Florida

vote rigging was a ClA
