it all!

It would be so simple

if it weren't impossible!

- So phone's ready.

- Here it comes.

- What the f***?

- Shh!

What were the last words

of the first man to

commit suicide

by jumping off

the golden gate bridge?

- Come on, that's just!

- Oh, wait, you don't

wanna hear the answer?

- Some a**hole is gonna win,

and then the next day,

I'm gonna know the answer,

and then only win a

hundred damn dollars!

I believe I'd take

to a clock tower.

- Wonder how cold that water is.

- Huh?

- Those would be

cool last words.

You say, "I wonder how cold

that water is," and then.

- Come on, let's rob this place.

Who the f*** is that?

- I don't know.

- You said no one was here!

- She's not the person

who lives here.

- How do you know?

- Because I did my research.

- Then why wasn't

she in your research?

- She doesn't live here!

- Well who the f*** is that!

- I don't know!

- F***!

- We gotta cut bait, just get

out of here.

- Out of where? Out of the house,

just go, problem solved.

- We can't, the alarm.

Ah, we take a chair,

and we shove

it under the doorknob.

- And then what?

- She's stuck!

- So she'll call for help.

- Like on the phone

or out the window?

- W-what does that matter?

- Uh, ok.

Ha, hmm, we have to tie her up.

- What?

- Look, we need time!

We don't have time

if she finds us.

If she wakes up, she's going to

find us.

So, we have to tie her up.

Here we go!

Yeah, ok, we'll use that.

- What about our faces,

she can't see our faces.

Ok, we wrap her in the sheet

and just tape the

sh*t out of her.

- Why are we

wrapping her in the sheet?

- This is duct tape, man.

- So? So it's gonna

rip her f***in' skin off!

We're burglars, not a**holes.

- Fine, you go high, I go low.

- Sorry!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Sorry, sorry!

- Shut up!

- Help!

- It's ok, we're just

taping you!

- Help! Shut up, no one can hear you!

- Don't be a dick about it,

but he's right,

no one can hear you.

You good?

- Yeah.

- What the hell?

- Dah, my leg!

- What? You taped my left,

cut me loose.

- Ok.

Will you hold still?

- I'm not doing anything, he's...

- I'm trying to kick free!

- You can't

kick free, I have to cut,

ha-ha!

- Don't hurt me, don't hurt me!

- Wh, oh, we're not

gonna hurt you,

we're just gonna

steal some stuff

and then we're gonna, oh sh*t!

- What?

- My mask!

- I told you not to hog the

saran wrap!

- I didn't see anything.

- Look at yours, still on!

- I didn't hog it,

it, there just wasn't

enough to go around my...

- bullshit, you were wrapping

your head

like you were shippin'

it overseas!

- I didn't see your face,

just take whatever you want.

I don't care, I'm, I'm
