- It's nice to see you again as well.

Um, I was thinkin'

about opening...

a savings account here.

Oh. The rate on our money market

deposit account...

is currently

5.45 percent.

That seems awfully

high to me.

Oh, well, here's the best part.

The yield is 5.59.

"How can that be?"

You ask.

Why, I don't know.

I don't know anything about it.

I'd appreciate

you explainin' it to me.

You like it?

I love it. I took

the rheostat off the engine.

How do you know

about rheostats?

I like takin' things apart,

seein' how they work.

You take after your mom.

Really?

What was she like?

Well, she was

kind of like you...

Like a boy.

Like a tomboy.

Cool. Did she like

baseball like I do?

Yeah, she loved sneakers

and baseball hats...

and, yeah,

she loved baseball.

And she loved you,

Patrick.

You know, she always wanted a son?

Did you know that?

- No.

- Yep. The day you were born,

you know what she said?

What?

She said you were the best thing that

ever happened to her in her whole life.

- For real?

- For real.

- And you were there when I was born?

- Yeah, I was there.

And you had a little black

fuzz on your big, bald head.

- I did not.

- Did too.

- I did not.

- Did too.

- I did not! Did not!

- Did too! Did too!

- Don't tickle me! Don't tickle me!

- Did not!

- You get the passports?

- Yeah.

- You get the...

- I got that too. Don't worry.

- Good.

- You know what to do.

- I go to the bank,

I get a safety deposit box.

I put that in.

I know what to do, Karen.

Good morning. I'd like

to open a safety deposit box.

- All right, sir.

- Family jewels.

Hey, how ya doin'? What

a pleasant surprise. You need a ride?

- What the hell you doin' in there?

- What do you think I'm doin'?

I don't wanna think.

I wanna know.

I'm closin' out my account. I happen

to bank at this establishment.

- Sh*t. Let me see.

$152.

What the hell you

gonna do with $152?

We're takin' $18 goddamn million

out of here on Thursday.

I know that. I just don't

wanna split my $152 four ways.

Come on, darlings.

Come on, Lucy.

- Y'all work together now.

There you go,

sweetheart.

This is the fastest

American car on the scene today.

- Patrick.

- Nissan Z is best.

What? Watch your...

Listen to me. The American au...

Listen to me, Patrick.

The American automobile industry

built this great nation.

To say that Nissan is anywhere close

to this car is a joke.

- You're full of sh*t, J.T.

- Uh-uh. Don't say that.

Aaah!

Get away from me!

You're wet! Aaah!

- I'll kill you!

- It's war!

- J.T.!

- Say, Trans Am rules.

Trans Am rules!

How we gonna get

access to the cables?

They run under

the basement...

to a small architect

office here.

Just one guard.

Blocking the

closed-circuit TV is no problem.

All we need is a signal

generator and an oscilloscope.

- The V.S.U. Is the problem.

- Volume Signature Unit.

It's a state-of-the-art security system

that, um, is activated by sound.

You flip a booger, it hits the floor.

Cops will be all over the place.

So why can't we cut this V.S.U. Cable

when we do the TV?

'Cause it's screened.

We touch it with no access code,

we'll set off the alarm.

- What we gonna do?

- We're gonna set off the alarm.

- What is this bullshit, Jack?

- Hear her out.

When the alarm goes off, it takes

the security guards six minutes...

to get from their base

to the bank.

We've timed it. It'll take 15 minutes to

get into the bank and down to the vault.

Listen, lady, if it takes us

15 minutes to get into the vault,

and it only takes six minutes

for them to get to the bank,

we're gonna be spending

the next 20 years inside.

Not if you break the job into

three separate stages you won't.

Five minutes for each stage.

We clean up, we get out.

Guards don't even know

we've been there.

All right,

stage number one,

unlocking the rear door.

The alarm goes off, that

puts us in a holding pattern.

Stage two, breaking

into the vault elevator.

The alarm goes off again.

We're back in the holding pattern.

Stage three, getting us down

to the vault corridor.

Each stage will take

four minutes...

with two minutes to spare before

the security guards get to the bank.

Any questions?

The alarm's going off? That'd have

to look like a malfunction.

That's right.

That's why we're building this device.

What kind of device?

You're tellin' me

we're gonna be downstairs...

knockin' sh*t outta the vault

with a bunch of security guards

just sittin' upstairs?

They won't know we're there. They'll

think the alarm system malfunctioned.

Once we fix the TV, they can't

see us, and they can't hear us

through six inches of steel.

You think this'll work?

For 18 million,

234 thousand bucks,

I'm prepared

to give it a try.

- Hey!

- Always a pleasure, Miss Baxter.

- Same here.

- How may I help you today?

Um, today, I'd really like

to open a checkin' account.

Well, if it's checking you want,

then checking you shall have.

We offer several

interest-bearing accounts.

Well, l...

I really don't know

what that is.

- Maybe I should explain it to you.

Oh, it's closin' time,

Miss Baxter.

That'd be no problem.

I can stay ten more minutes.

Well, that really wouldn't

be fair to you, would it?

What do you say I come back tomorrow?

Locking down.

You freezing?

Let me wipe your mouth off.

You know what?

Me and you have to have

a little talk tonight.

But I have to go out first

for a little while, okay?

To rob a bank, right?

What?

J.T. Told me.

J.T. Told you?

It's okay, Karen.

They're makin' you do it.

- Did she rob banks too?

- Who?

- My mom.

- Come here.

Your mom just made

a few mistakes, that's all.

I don't really

remember her.

Sometimes I really wish

I could remember her.

Listen to me.

We're leavin' here

tomorrow, okay?

- I promise that.

- But I like this hostage thing.

I mean,

I loved havin' a pool.

- I'll see you in the morning, okay?

- Bye.

You know I never

carry a gun, Jack.

Mama taught me

never trust a woman.

- What's he doing here?

- Just a little insurance. Let's go.

Somebody's

got to baby-sit.

Karen?

Well, I believe so too.

- There is something wrong.

Everybody's

getting into it.

They want him to squeeze

the guy's head like a grape.

Truck's broken down.

I need to make a call.

Let's go.

Posts.

Got it.

We record the empty bank.

Ready for playback.

Now we hook

into their system.

She's moving.

That's beautiful.

Two alarms have to go off first.

They're linked in pairs.

- When, for Christ's sakes?

- How about now?

Security's on its way.

And two more.

These are cop cars.

Two minutes.

Let's go!

Get around back!

- Let's go! Inside!

- Be careful!

Shouldn't we switch

the video over?

They're gonna want to see

those boys back at base.

Hick d*cks!

Won't know what hit 'em.

Look at the Rent-A-Cop.

What set it off?

- Look behind them counters!

- Shine that light over here.

Cops just can't stand

false alarms.
