All right. Sit down and shut up!

Boys, we're watching you.

Sit!

Just keep moving, nice and easy.

Come on.

Keep walking.

WOMAN:
What is he doing?

(SOBBING)

MAN 2:
That could have

been your head, man.

In the elevator, sweetheart,

with the rest of them.

- MAN:
All right.

Don't move.

All right, keep your head down!

EDDY:
Come on, it's all right.

Let's keep it quiet, now.

Folks, let's keep it quiet.

Folks, keep it quiet.

We'll ask you a few questions,

take your name and address.

Then you can go home.

Now, just keep it quiet.

- Marvin?

- Yeah.

State police call in yet?

- Not that I know of, Lieutenant, no.

- Then you call them.

And let me know when the Bureau

checks in.

- All right, Lieutenant. Hold on.

- And, Marvin,

we're looking for suitcases,

cartons, packages,

- anything that will hold the money.

- All right, Lieutenant.

- Bill, check the airport and trains.

- BILL:
Right, Lieutenant.

Marcie, get me the Turnpike authority.

Calm down, Eddy. I'll get 'em for you.

(BELL TOLLING)

(BELL TOLLING)

(KEY CLATTERING)

Did you have a good afternoon, sir?

Fine. Just fine.

Any calls?

They're by your phone, sir.

I won't be needing you

tonight, John.

Thank you, sir.

(CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHING)

Get it on tape, all the details,

- every single little thing.

- Right you are.

Oh, give 'em time to think.

Don't make 'em hurry.

- Phil.

- Yeah?

Better play waiter.

Go out there and tell 'em that we're

gonna buy them dinner,

two bucks a head, as regulations.

Make out a list, send for it now.

Keep it simple. Paper plates,

lots of napkins.

- All right.

- Marcie, give Phil a pencil and pad.

Yes, sir.

Now, Mr. Wexler,

what about the numbers on those bills?

No numbers. Just small bills.

(LAUGHING)

Did he have anything to say to you?

Yeah, he said,

"Get in the elevator," that's...

He put a gun in my face.

You know, I was really scared.

(ALL CHATTERING)

Didn't know a guy looking

like a businessman...

What do you want?

- Huh?

- What do you wanna eat?

- Oh, chicken salad sandwich.

- Chicken salad sandwich.

- On white.

- Yeah, yeah.

- What do you want?

- I wanna get outta here.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Hello?

It's either the Ritz upstairs

Joseph's. I'm starved.

So am I.

OFFICER:
Can you open

the back window, please?

Step out and open up the back,

will you, please?

ERWIN:
What's the matter, officer?

Step out of the car, please.

What's going on here?

Can I see your license

and registration, please?

In back of the car, please.

Step to the back of the car, please.

- Yeah, I got the registrations here.

- Yeah.

This is all my identification.

Everything's here.

Driver's license, registration...

- Where are you going?

- That's a Diners. Portland.

Where do you stay in Portland?

Portland Motel.

Open the bag, please.

All right.

It's... It's all cosmetics.

Open the bag.

It's the line I'm in.

It's all ladies' stuff here.

It goes right down to the bottom here.

- What's in the other bag?

- Same thing.

- Open it.

- Same thing. Right. Right-o.

There we are, right there.

- That's all stuff.

- What's the big one in the back?

That's, that's my personal belongings.

Let's take a look.

Here it is, all my coats.

Thank you.

(TIRES SCREECH)

Malone got a big one.

How much did they actually get?

$2,660,527 and 62 cents.

Did you get a receipt?

The bank has a computer.

We have 32 witnesses in there

who saw everything.

Within an hour,

we're gonna have statements

from every one of them

and every last detail.

The fella they shot,

how's he getting along?

He's doin' fine. Just a slight wound.

When do you expect to make the arrests?

The usual. Any hour.

MAN:
Come on. Come on.

Get some more pictures of the guy...

(WOMAN CHATTERING ON P.A.)

How long do you plan

to stay in Geneva?

Three days.

Business or pleasure?

Business.

OFFICER:
Merci.

Do you have anything

to declare?

No, nothing.

- Georges.

- Monsieur Crown.

Do you have the tickets?

- Right here.

- Two baggages?

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

(AIRPLANE ENGINES REVVING)

There's nothing here, Lou.

I've been all over this thing.

Not a thing.

All right.

Sy! Anything?

They're right, Lou.

Looks like an army surplus smoke bomb.

Hey, Lou, they're gonna have

a hell of a time

getting it out of this marble.

(MUTTERS)

(GUN COCKING)

Anything for me, Russ?

Well, a .38's a .38.

No special markings.

Find me a revolver, Ed.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Please, folks. All right!

Nothing. A great big nothing.

Organized. Scientific.

We're Boston's finest.

We're dummies.

(TYPEWRITER CLACKING)

Do you have that breakdown yet?

16,240 $20 bills,

19,871 $10 bills,

MARCIE:
34,465 $5 bills,

129,000 $1 bills.

It's all there.

But, what name?

Code name and the number.

And what address?

No address.

But, we do not know you.

But you will do it.

There'll be further deposits.

In cash. Also.

You see, we're both

in the same business.

What else can we do

to help you, sir?

The instructions can be

any month, any year,

but they must all be dated

the 19th of the month.

But only the 19th.

Thank you, sir.

(TAPPING UMBRELLA TWICE)

Enjoy my money.

Well, gentlemen,

it's a black day for banking

when five men walk in off the street,

just calmly scoop up...

Now, come on we've been

all through that, Jamie.

And a black, black day

for law enforcement

when the best thing you can do

is to cross your fingers

and pray for an informer.

And a downright inky day

for the insurance people

when you have to pay off, right?

Well, thank you,

Mr. MacDonald.

- Good day.

- Good day.

Good day.

Jamie.

Jamie, we don't know

who they are, where they are,

or what they did

with the money, your money.

They win, we lose.

So far.

There's someone, a special,

that we like to bring in whenever

- we run into a blank stone wall.

- Oh, come on, Jamie.

- You won't like her. She...

- You can't...

Jamie, I have

more important things to do

than to come out to the airport to meet

some insurance investigator.

Look, I'm just asking you

to give her as much help as you can.

- To meet her. Just...

- VICKI:
Jamie!

There she is.

- Love to be here.

- Look, I want you to meet...

- How do you do?

- I've missed you.

You know, it's been more than a year.

You don't love me, don't call me,

don't need me, don't pay me.
