Tower Heist Page #7

pass in front of the building.

The parking enforcement officer

only works the west

side of the street.

She got a fat ass, too.

All right, baby, I'll

call you after lunch.

I'm in a restaurant with Josh

and a couple of other guys

across from The Tower.

Yeah. I love you.

What are you doing?

It's supposed to be a secret.

I can't tell my wife

I'm having a lunch?

We're not having lunch.

We're casing the front of the building.

Now they can trace

our steps back to us.

I didn't tell her what

restaurant we were at.

You said, "The restaurant

across from The Tower."

I didn't say which restaurant

across from The Tower.

Geez, a hamburger's $24.

We can't afford to eat here anyway.

Hey, we can order

whatever we like, because

(WHISPERING) lunch is on me.

This is the main

electrical room.

You can override the elevators from

here or shut them down completely.

Mr. Dev'Reaux, who took some courses

at DeVry Technical Institute,

is gonna be our

point man on this.

Online.

What?

I went there to go get my

master's in electronics,

but somebody said, "You got

to go to college first."

I was, like, "Yeah, it

wasn't in the brochure.

Okay,

but you understand what...

Absolutely. I weld stuff and I'm,

like, you flip it on and off.

It's all about power.

Hey, man, how is this supposed to be

right if you made it out of Legos?

Well, the dimensions

are completely accurate.

Yeah, who's this

little nigglet? Webster?

Man, you might as well use

Lincoln Logs or Tinkertoys.

I got your ski caps.

JOSH:
What?

No, no, no.

Ski masks. Masks.

Yeah, but the guy said that these

were the warmest ever made.

With pompoms?

You serious?

You're such an idiot. I need a mask.

It has to cover your face.

Josh, let's say

we get the money

and make it outside, then what?

Slide is the only one with

no connection to The Tower.

So he's agreed to hold

the money for a week.

Are you crazy?

You're gonna give this guy $20 million?

He's a crook!

What you say? Say it again.

I didn't hear sh*t.

Speak into the microphone!

JOSH:
Hey! Hey!

Why don't you

say it again, punk?

Come on, Slide, no guns.

You running things now, huh?

Man in the suit got

it all figured out?

No, man in the suit doesn't

have it all figured out,

but man with the gun

needs to understand

what man in the suit is trying

to accomplish here, all right?

Why you talking like that?

You were talking like that!

Why can't I talk like that?

What you think, this is a joke, Josh?

We gonna just walk in there

and roll this dude for $20

million without a fight?

Look, no guns End of

story, all right?

What if we run into some sh*t

in there we don't expect?

Trust me, there won't

be any surprises.

(DOOR BELL RINGING)

(WHISPERING) It's the

FBI lady and two cops.

Sh*t! We haven't

done anything yet.

We're plotters. We've plotted.

That's a crime, right?

Ls that a crime?

Everybody, just relax.

You relax!

I'm out on bail.

I'm gonna go in the closet.

I'm coming with you.

JOSH:
Guys, it's okay, I

think she's here for me.

CHARLIE:
Go find

your own spot.

Hey, Agent Denham, what a surprise.

What's with the police?

Josh, Arthur Shaw

is gonna walk.

What?

The judge is gonna dismiss the

case next week at his hearing.

They're acting

like he's untouchable.

That's it? He just

gets away with it?

That's not it.

He's threatening to press

charges against you.

He wants you to

answer for the Ferrari.

So they're here to arrest me?

He says he'll drop the whole

thing if you apologize.

A sincere apology,

that's what Shaw wants.

And if I don't do it?

Then these gentlemen

will read you your rights.

(DOOR OPENS)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

You know what's considered the greatest

move in the history of chess, Josh?

A man named

Frank James Marshall

was losing to a man

named Levitsky in 1912,

world championship in Helsinki.

And it looked like Marshall had no

chance until he moved 23 queen G-3.

He deliberately

sacrificed his queen

and the move was so

shocking and surprising

that Levitsky

never got over it.

He lost the game

two moves later.

And the move became known in the annals

of chess as the "Marshall swindle."

I'm a very good chess player,

but I'm no swindler.

What you did to my Ferrari

was the move of a small man.

But now it's my move, and I'm not

sure how I want to play this.

All I'd like

to say, Mr. Shaw,

is someday I'm gonna find a

way to make things right.

I don't care what I have to do,

I will find

a way to pay you back

for everything

that has been done.

Good, because I know how

difficult it must be for you

to lose a service job

like this at your age.

And one day when all this is ancient

history, I hope you can come back,

maybe not as a building

manager at first,

but somewhere where you can

start over, earn our trust.

A doorman, for instance.

Now go home and practice

your chess game.

I'll study the

"Marshall swindle sir.

Anybody can sacrifice

their queen, Josh.

The real trick is

getting away with it.

JOSH:

Thanks for the ride.

Any time.

Oh, God, wait a minute,

before you go, this is for you.

It's a present.

It's the footage of you beating

the sh*t out of Shaw's car.

I took it from the security

camera in his apartment.

You committed larceny for me?

Let's just say, I misplaced

three minutes of footage.

Thank you.

I'm touched.

You're welcome.

Okay.

Are you working

on Saturday night?

I'm always working.

Call in sick.

You're asking

an FBI agent to lie?

I'm asking an FBI

agent to dinner.

I'll see you Saturday night.

Good.

What the hell is that

in your hand?

It's a present.

She gave you a present?

I don't know

about the other guys,

but I don't want you seeing

the federal agent anymore.

I'm not seeing her

until Saturday night.

Oh, my God!

He's dating her.

Relax, my social life and my

criminal life are totally separate.

They're not separate

if you're dating

the FBI agent who

busted Arthur Shaw!

FITZHUGH:
Shouldn't we be

avoiding law enforcement?

I never saw

an episode of Matlock

where the criminal

banged Matlock!

Well, it don't matter.

Ls this the safe?

Yeah.

Then we have a really

serious problem.

You saying you can't open it?

No, I'm saying I never worked

on a safe like this before.

I usually break

into strongboxes.

You never said it was a real

safe made out of steel.

We're going after $20 million.

What did you think

it would be? Wood?

What kind of thief

can't open a safe?

Well, generally

I rob balconies.

Balconies?

Like a cat burglar?

That way I never get charged

with breaking and entering.

And I never steal

nothing over $1,000,

because in New York

that sh*t is a felony.

What do you get?

Like potted plants?

No, b*tch! I don't be

stealing no potted plants!

I steal mostly

satellite dishes.

I got a friend of mine who be

hooking up illegal DirecTV.

Hey, can your friend

hook me up?

No!

This is a bunch of horseshit.

Your thief isn't even a thief.
