this through.

What?

Hold on!

What if we didn't

turn it in?

You wanna keep it?

Ha ha ha!

He wants to keep it.

Well,

that's a hot one.

Why wouldn't we?

Why wouldn't we?

Yeah.

Because we'd go

to prison. Why?

Why? Because

it's stealing.

Stealing.

Stealing from who?

From him? Hell,

he won't mind.

Heh heh...

Oh, 'cause he's

dead, right? Ha ha ha!

Ha ha! That's

pretty funny-

He's dead.

He won't mind.

I say we take this bag

back to the truck,

And we pretend like

we were never here.

F*** yeah.

Why not?

Why not? Because

we'd get caught.

Aw, hell! I'll

tell you what.

Stay the hell

out of it then.

You know, we

don't need you.

It'd just be more

money for us.

Hey, I don't wanna stump you

another fancy word, Lou,

But does the term "accomplice"

mean anything to you?

Come on. That's stupid.

But, Hank, why

would we get caught?

Because it's a lot

of money.

Somebody's bound

to be looking for it.

When they find

that plane

And the money's

not in it,

They'll come

bullshit! Looking for us. Bullshit!

This is

dirty money!

And as far as that

guy's concerned,

The cops don't even

know he exists.

Nobody knows

about this...

But us.

See there?

Nobody knows

but us.

It's like we came

out here on a hike,

And found lost treasure.

Right?

It's the American dream

in a goddamn gym bag.

He-he just wants

to walk away from it.

You work for

the American dream.

You don't steal it.

Then this is

even better.

If this guy's

a dope dealer,

Then-like we're

talkin' about-

Then that means we're

like Robin Hood.

Oh, yeah, and I'll

tell you what.

You got a beautiful

wife at home.

You're about

to have a baby.

I know you ain't

pullin' down that much

At the feed mill.

Wouldn't you love to

have a piece of this?

Hell, yes, I would,

but we can't just take it.

Hey, what if

there's a reward?

Maybe there's a reward,

and they'll give-

Maybe there's not!

How about this.

I tell you what.

I'll bet you

$10,000-

Just one of

these packets-

That when they

find this plane,

There's no mention

of this money.

Hank, why-

why turn it in

Until we know

whether or not

Somebody's

lookin' for it?

That's right.

If you scratch,

then don't-don't itch.

If you-if it's-

If it's broken,

don't fix it. Right?

Or if you-if-if-

if the-if-if-if-

And I know

what you mean.

Suppose I was

the one to keep it?

For how long?

Just till spring,

till they find the plane.

Then what?

Then, if you're right and

nobody mentions the money,

We split it up,

and we all leave town.

Why should you

get to hold it?

That's the only way

I'll do it.

Otherwise we can just

turn it in right now.

So, what, you mean-
