We haven't forgotten about you,

Benedict -- You better have our

money tomorrow morning. Or else.

VINCE:

Or else what?

Suddenly, Vince's living room WINDOWS EXPLODE in a burst

LARSON (CONT'D)

(to Garfield)

He wants more money. That's what

this is about.

WEBSTER:

Let me explain something to you.

I have a reputation to uphold.

People put their trust in me

because they know I always deliver

the goods and I always come back

with the money. This whole thing

is making me look very bad...

professionally.

GARFIELD:

This is bullshit! The car was

there.

LARSEN:

That's right. The parking

attendant thought we were off for

Hawaii.

WEBSTER:

(a brief pause)

The parking attendant?

GARFIELD:

He liked the car. We'd put on

those damn loud shirts so we'd

look like tourists --

LARSEN:

He asked us if we were going

surfing. He was a jerk.
