Where the Money Is

Synopsis: Carol Ann MacKay is a fine, popular nurse at a retirement home, and spends her free time with her hunky athletic husband Wayne MacKay, who was the star of her school's football team when she was high school prom queen; he still would do anything for her, including cleaning up the messes her ideas get them in. When legendary bank robber Henry Manning, who had a major stroke in prison, is placed in the home, supposedly having lost all control over his body, she notices he must be in far better condition then he lets appear, and tries everything to find out- when she pushes his wheelchair in a canal at a picnic, Henry gives up. The McKays keep his secret and Henry doesn't actually run in Waynes car as his first impulse was; soon Carol gets his confidence and the two start planning how they three can commit another robbery on an armored money transport, which brings them together. It doesn't go quite according to plan, but they get the loot; however, before the money can be split some big

[Tires Screeching]

- Mmm!

- Hey.

[Girl Giggling]

- [Continues]

- Hey, how come we never

got together before?

Well, because I always

had a boyfriend.

- [Screams]

- You still got one?

Would you still be my boyfriend

if I ditched you at the prom?

Never happen.

- Watch it, your highness.

- Let me drive.

- I wanna drive.

- No, I don't think...

Let me drive.

I got a better place for your hand.

Oh, yeah.

# You might think I'm crazy

[Woman] Inhale through your nose.

- [Inhaling]

- Exhale through your mouth.

Turn the wheel to the right.

Inhale through your nose.

[Inhales]

Exhale, turn the wheel

to the left.

Inhale through your nose.

[Inhales]

Turn the wheel

to the right.

[Ball Bouncing]

Oh, very good.

Okay, ready?

Oh, Irma hit it

with her head!

Gimme five on that.

Right here. Good job.

[Woman On Police Radio]

One-baker-ten, two-eleven in progress.

243 Maple.

- [Jail Door Opening]

[Jail Door Closing]

Now,

what color ribbon would you like today:

blue or peach?

[Air Brakes Hissing]

- [Man] You got it?

- [Man #2] All right.

Easy does it.

[Woman] I wanna have my bath now.

You already had

your bath, Diane.

- Stroke, huh?

- That's what they told me.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

I think we can remove

his restraints now.

I know he deserves

the same care as anyone else,

but we're really not set up

to accommodate the state's overflow.

Hey, I just move 'em.

Carol!

Just, uh, sign here.

Would you please take

Mr. Manning to 114?

[Jail Door Opening]

[Jail Door Closing]

[Man On P.A.] For a bargain

shopping trip to the outlet center.

Can you follow this?

How about

a little squeeze?

Man, why'd they have you

chained up like that?

[Thump]

- He's a felon.

- Shh!

Ladies, you should know

better than that. Go on.

There's plenty of time

to visit later.

Go.

Not a lot of privacy

around here,

but considering

where you've been,

a little female attention

might be nice.

Right. How 'bout

a little music?

- ## [Country]

- We got rock 'n' roll. We got jazz.

We got country.

We got lots of country here.

[Click]

- [Whirring]

- How was work?

Okay.

Got a new guy in.

- Guess what he was?

- What?

A bank robber.

Pretty good one too.

Took them 30 years to catch him.

- The only reason they did

was a blackout.

- Why'd he black out?

He didn't black out.

Denver did.

The whole city.

The emergency generator

kicked in.

The vault shuts, and the next day

when they open the vault...

Are the keys in the car?

- Yeah.

- Okay. See you in the morning.

They found him

in the vault.

[Birds Chirping]

- [Alarm Beeping]

- [Woman On Radio] Rise and shine.

It's another beautiful day

in the Pacific Northwest,

and our Oregon forecast

promises sunshine.

[Turns Radio Off]

Honey?

Thank you.

Carol.

How 'bout it?

You and me?

[Motorcycle Starting]

[Screeching]

If my husband

were alive, hah!

## [Country]

This looks pretty good.

Are you in there

remembering it all,

or did everything

just get erased?

What's his problem?

He had a stroke.

What's your excuse?

Uh-oh.

Are you mad at me?

You're really gonna

be mad at me?

You said you were gonna

drive me to work.

Damn. Look at you.

You are so beautiful.

You know how beautiful you are?

You always say that to me

when I'm mad at you.

Beats fightin'.

So? Where were you?

Um...

It was a work thing.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Drinking with the boss,

that's hard work.

But...

[Clears Throat]

You're lookin'

at a supervisor.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

Day shift?

How did I know you

were gonna ask that?

But it is

80 bucks raise...

and a full pension, benefits,

the whole nine yards.

- Pension.

- So you don't have to eat

cat food when you get old.

Or wind up

like this poor slob.

The sad thing is, he probably has

loads of money somewhere.

[Whispering] He's the guy

I told you about, the bank robber.

Hey, I'll get on

the day shift soon, okay?

That would be nice.

I could see you once in a while.

[Deejay On Radio]

Now with a blast from the past,

You Might Think from The Cars.

Congratulations.

I'm happy about the promotion.

# You might think

it's hysterical

# I know when you're weak

# You think you're

in the movies

- Now?

- You can't do this here!

- Mmm!

- But I think that you're wild

# When you flash

that fragile smile

# You might think

it's foolish

# What you put me through

- You might think

- You might think I'm crazy

- All I want

- All I want is you

# And it was hard

# So hard to take

# There's no escape

# Without a scrape

- But you kept it goin'

till the sun fell down

- [Carol Moaning]

# You kept it goin'

She can't just go changing

the rules on us like that.

And I'll go to the union

if I have to. She knows I will.

- Help me lift her up.

Okay, up you go.

[Gagging]

[Coughs]

Ohh!

[Crash]

- No way can you fake a stroke.

- He could.

Do you know

what he did?

He started a company

that sold security systems to banks.

- Yeah, so?

- And then he robbed the banks.

I saw him. You know, this coleslaw's

got more going on than he does.

- Maybe you need a hobby or something.

- [Slaps Butt]

[Woman] Well, your strawberries,

bananas and apples float,

and your prunes

and peaches sink.

You just have to tell

the floaters from the sinkers.

Kinda like men.

[Man] I got it, I got it. Okay.

I'll bet those prison doctors

gave you a real going-over.

- [Rock]

- Sticking you with pins.

Whacking you with hammers.

Did they hurt you?

Obviously, they took

the wrong approach.

That's the difference

between doctors and nurses.

Doctors can be so tied

to medical procedures.

But sometimes...

a little down-home therapy

is so much more effective.

# When she's dancing

'neath the starry sky

# Ooh, she'll make you flip

Here she comes again

# When she's dancing

'neath the starry sky

# I kinda like the way

she dips

Are your lips dry?

- She's my best friend's girl

- Is that why you can't speak to me?

# She's my best friend's girl

# But she used to be mine

Wouldn't it feel good

to just let go, hmm?

Hmm?

I know you're in there.

Come out, come out,

wherever you are.

# But when you

bite your lip

# It's a reaction to love

- Here she comes again

- When she's dancing

'neath the starry sky

Therapy can be very difficult

if you resist.

Maybe you need

a less-structured environment.
