come in here tonight?

Where was he?

Was he in the parking lot?

The parking lot?

Don't be foolish, slim.

Let bygones be bygones.

Do you realize how much dough

there's gonna be in that truck

tomorrow morning?

In six figures.

Six figures!

This is no time

to be sore and blow up.

Why should you throw away

the only chance of a lifetime?

After all the plannin',

all the hopin'.

What i say is, let's not be foolish.

I say, let's go right ahead.

Don't you realize

it's even better now?

That cop in there,

he'll never guess in a million years

you both are in a deal together.

Chance of a lifetime.

Six figures, slim.

I went off my head.

I appreciate it,

what you told the cop.

That's the way to talk!

That's the ticket!

What about the third man

on the truck? Don't forget

you gotta do the driving.

[Slim]

Can you get rid

of that third man?

Don't worry.

I'll get rid of him.

I'll be doing the driving.

Then it's all okay.

It's on.

Sure.

That's the ticket!

That's the way to be!

Boys, excuse me, but i

got a date with my baby!

[Cackling]

I had to lay down

the law.

I told my wife,

"no more ordering

on the telephone."

But it's legitimate.

The store charges

for delivery service.

I know, but compare.

Soap powder:

At the great western market,

Six cents difference, huh?

Tomato juice:

Two cans for a quarter.

At the western,

- Yeah, i see your point.

- You bet your life. It all adds up.

Hiya, bailey.

Hello, bailey.

Hello, pappy.

Pop.

Hiya, andy.

Where's thompson?

Isn't he working today?

He's working.

Steve's

the outside man.

We were discussing

the difference

in shopping prices.

There's one woman

that knows how to shop.

Steve's mother, mrs. Thompson.

She serves the best.

Since my wife died,

i'm a guest there often.

[Chuckles]

Okay.

Here you are.

Well, so long,

chester.

So long, pappy.

- [Pappy] so long.

- [Bailey] now my wife.

I don't know how much

she spends on the house.

She's extravagant.

Beach in the summertime.

Uses up all my razor blades

shaving her legs.

[Laughs]

I don't get sore.

She's for me.

I love that kid.

Bailey. Which one

of you is bailey?

Who wants me?

Your office just called.

Your wife isn't feeling well.

You gotta go straight home.

The office said

it was okay.

My wife?

[Bailey]

Hey, steve.

Yeah? What is it?

My wife's sick.

You two guys can manage

without me, can't you?

Yeah, sure. Go ahead.

I'll do the driving.

I'll catch the bus

at olympic.

I better go right out there.

[Engine starting]

Steve.

Yeah?

I'm worried about

that phone call.

I don't like the smell

of the whole thing.

Do you? It's strictly

against regulation.

Don't worry about regulations.
