Armored Car Robbery Page #2

All or nothing in three

minutes after the strike.

Never mind the buildup. Benny gave us that.

You, uh, planning on grabbing

this dough from a bank?

You might call it that.

Only this bank happens to have

wheels under it and very few guards.

Sounds like an armored-car job.

I could be wrong.

You happen to be right.

Doesn't sound good.

I don't like the odds.

Yeah, you can count me out too.

- I'm not ready for a fast 60-buck

funeral. - Just a minute, Ace.

A guy got away with it back in

Chicago about three years ago.

Yeah, I remember that.

But that happened to be Chicago.

And that was a Dave Purvis job.

Let me ask you a question.

Supposing it was Dave Purvis figuring

this strike, would it sound better?

It'd sound better coming from a

guy who knows the ropes. So what?

Don't you get it, you clucks?

Dave Purvis is figuring this job.

How about the odds now, Mapes?

They sound much better. Keep talking.

You better know that I'm taking

half of everything we get.

The rest of you go in

equal shares. That clear?

Check. Where do we go from there?

I can show you better than

I can tell you. In here.

This is the layout, Wrigley

Field, where we pull the strike.

Plenty neat.

Why Wrigley Field? They

haven't got that kind of dough.

That's a good question. The dough we

pick up at the ballpark's not important.

What we're after is the load on that truck.

The cash receipts from bank

transfers, markets and theaters.

Wrigley Field happens to be

the last stop on their run.

Also, it's the easiest

place for us to operate.

You can take my word for

that. I checked them all.

We're still listening.

We've got three minutes

to pull the whole deal.

Someone is gonna spot

us and send for the cops.

I've already timed that.

Suppose we haven't finished and

there's still dough in the truck?

We leave it.

I don't want anybody to get sticky-fingered

after the time is up. Is that clear?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- When you figure on going on this?

- Next Tuesday.

We've got a lot of work to do.

You boys are gonna study this

routine until it comes out your ears.

Now, the armored car

will be coming along here.
