Where the Money Is Page #6

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

protecting the county's sanction

of the new state committee.

The real story in Oregon,

however,

continues to be

the daring armored-car robbery.

More on this

after a word from our sponsors.

- Trained...

- Wednesday on U...

Teamwork is the key

to succ...

[Man On TV] If you've been involved

in an automobile accident...

- Ah!

- Sorry.

But sources estimate the amount of money

stolen at two million dollars.

Police say they have a number of leads

as to the identities of the robbers.

- Henry.

- Kitty!

- Yeah?

- Mrs. Weiler.

- Wants me.

- You got it.

You gotta hold him.

Sit up, Henry.

[Door Closes]

I just heard it on the news.

They found the van at the airport.

They're looking for two guys

who flew to Miami this morning.

[Phone Ringing]

Hello?

Yeah. I know, I know.

I heard.

Yeah.

We're home free. Bye.

What's going on?

See you tomorrow.

We'll take it from here.

Thank you for taking care of him.

- Poor guy.

- [Carol] We have to do something.

Look, I'm sorry,

but what can we do?

We can't let him go back there.

We have to do something.

No, wait. Now, listen.

There's nothing else we can do.

- We have to do something.

- No, Carol. Just come home.

[Indistinct Radio Chatter]

Aw, jeez.

Hey, lady.

Lady, you all right?

- I'm looking for a friend of mine.

- Boy, that's my girl.

Open it up.

Do it!

- How're you doin', Henry?

- What took you so long?

- Aw, man.

- He's much nicer when he's

in a coma, isn't he?

Why would you do this? Can't you just

tell me why? You have no idea...

I told you to come home!

Just get the money together.

We're on our way.

Do you have any idea

what you just did? Do you?

Carol, when are you ever

gonna start using your head?

Ah!

Where you gonna go?

North, probably,

for a while.

It's close.

Then, I don't know.

Somewhere where it's warm.

What about you?

I don't know.

I've never been

anywhere else.

I'm sorry. It's okay.

You did the right thing.

I'm sorry I, uh,

came down on you.

T-shirts. I got a bunch of

stuff packed. Oh, and socks.

I don't know if l...

I got the money split two ways...

here and the duffel bag in there.

I could use a little help here, Carol.

I got it.

This is just for the road.

I figured we're really gonna

have to make time, so...

We're gonna have to take this stuff with

us, otherwise, it's gonna go to waste.

Anything we can't buy,

we can take with us, right?

- What?

- Well, we can afford it now.

We got the money.

Can I get you a cup of coffee?

Oh. Mustard,

right, right.

Okay. You could argue it's a three-way

split, but I figure what the hell.

Me and Carol make one.

After all, it's just money,

[Laughs] Might as well

throw you a little bone, right?

Did you make

a deal for Carol too,

or just for yourself?

[Indistinct Police Radios]

Cops out there.

I did it for us.

I did it for us. l...

Lloyd-Lloyd said they didn't

care about you and me. Just him.

Somebody's gotta pay,

right?

What am I supposed to do?

I told you to stay away from this guy.

You gotta stay away from him.

I had this worked out...

where we're just gonna

get a slap on the wrist.

Only they're gonna slap her a little bit

harder, seeing as she sprung me.

That's the guy

you call clutch, huh?

All right, that's enough

of this crap.

We're going outside.

I'm not going anywhere.

What?

- I'm not going.

- I'm warning you, Carol.

You'd better

think about this.

I have.

Okay. So you want me

to make you go.

Tell you what.

This time I'm not gonna.

So, what do you say?

We go down in a blaze of glory?

I don't know

about glory,

but we're gonna go down

in a blaze of something.

[Indistinct Chattering]

- Uh, l...

- Okay, Wayne. Put your hands

behind your back.

- What?

- Put your hands behind your back.

- What are you doing, Lloyd?

- I'm arresting you.

Lloyd, Jesus.

Come on.

[Lloyd On Loudspeaker] Come out

slowly with your hands above your heads.

You haven't lived...

till you've heard someone

say that to you.

- [Car Engine Revving]

- Okay, all right.

We've got a situation here.

Goddamn it! Oh, man.

The river!

- Get your hands off of me!

- Get in the goddamn car!

[Sirens Wailing]

[Indistinct Police Radio Chatter]

- Aren't you supposed to

read me my rights?

- No, ma'am, you're not a suspect.

Yeah, but... aren't you

supposed to read me my rights?

Yeah, we got a moving violation

on her last year...

fifty in a thirty-five zone...

failure to complete traffic school and

multiple outstanding parking violations.

He has good breeding.

How do I know?

His bearing.

You can tell a lot

about people by their bearing.

I kinda hate to admit it,

but I think he got my watch.

Ladies, please.

This is a crime scene.

- You're kidding me.

- They've ruined the career

of a promising young nurse.

Carol Ann McKay had a future.

You're not kidding?

[Laughing]

[Man] May I help?

It's just that I've

never taken it off before.

Oh. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

It's completely stuck.

Yes, I know. That's why I'm here.

Can you help me?

My assistant is due back

in an hour.

Why don't you return then and we'll

go in the back and cut it off?

Oh, well, couldn't we

just do it now?

I mean, you could

do it yourself, right?

I can't leave the front

unattended.

The security system's

on the blink since this morning.

- They can't figure out what happened.

- I see.

Just my luck.

It's just that I finally

got the courage to do this and...

I mean, it was

a huge chunk of my life.

- College sweetheart?

- High school.

I've never even been with another man.

Imagine that.

Oh, please,

just take it off.

Come on.

Come with me in the back.

We'll be fine.

I'll just lock the door.

- [Buzzer Buzzing]

- You're such a sweet man.

Is, uh... Is he gonna be

all right?

Daddy'll be fine.

I just wish I could've done this

before the... stroke.

But somehow, deep down,

I think he'll know.

[Rhythmic Clapping]

# You're always

dancing down the street

# With your suede blue eyes

# And every new boy

that you meet

# Doesn't know

the real surprise

# Here she comes again

# 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

# But she's

my best friend's girl

# She's my best friend's girl

# But she used to be mine

# You've got

your nuclear boots

# And your drip-dry glove

# Ooh, when you bite your lip

# It's some reaction to love

# Here she comes again

# When she's dancing

'neath the starry sky

# Yeah, I think you'll flip

# Here she comes again

- When she's dancing

'neath the starry sky

- Here she comes again

# I kinda like the way

like the way she dips

# 'Cause she's

my best friend's girl

# She's my best friend's girl

# And she used to be mine

# She's so fine

# Always dancing down the street

# With your suede blue eyes

# And every new boy that you meet

# Doesn't know

the real surprise

# Here she comes again
