-Willie, what do you think?

You're asking the wrong person.

I think a bank would be pretty good.

We might as well go all the way.

Besides, I think they're insured

for this kind of thing anyways.

Not one in the neighborhood though.

They'll know us there.

Tomorrow, we'll take a ride into the city

and look around.

There must be a million good banks there.

You'll come along with us

for the ride, Willie?

Yeah.

-No funny stuff.

-No funny stuff. Serious stuff.

-Feels great to be doing something.

-You said it.

Jesus. Don't anybody work up here?

They're all out walking.

You know...

I haven't been in the city

since I stopped driving the cab.

-Boy.

-It's been a long time for me, too.

I forgot how many beautiful women

there are around up here.

A lot of good they're gonna do you now.

I still kind of like to look at them.

Boy, this place is beautiful.

Well, what do you think?

I don't know. What are we looking for?

I don't know.

But I kind of like this one though.

What do you think?

I guess it would be all right.

Willie, what do you think?

It's sure nicer

than the one in the neighborhood.

Looks good to me. There's only one guard.

We ain't gonna do better than that.

Should we call it this one?

Well?

-Yeah, I guess so.

-Good.

-Might as well.

-Good.

Joe, you think

we maybe ought to look at some more?

What for? A bank's a bank.

What are we gonna do

about all those cameras in there?

That'll be no problem.

-Onions?

-Better not.

-Come on, live a little.

-Come on, live it up.

Okay, onions.

Everything on mine.

Put that away. These are on me.

By next week, we'll be going out

for Chinese food every night.

You really think this is gonna work?

What does it matter?

I feel like I'm 40 again.

Boy!

Well, I tell you what.

We'll take a gypsy cab there

and tell him to wait while we go inside.

Those gypsy cab drivers don't

keep a record of where they go or what.

We'll act dopey,

and we'll give him a good deal.

He won't figure

three old guys to be up to anything.

And just to be safe,

we'll take a bus to Corona first...

and maybe we'll take the cab from there.

That'll make everything harder to trace.

Boy, you must have done some stealing

during the war.

A stickup guy

I used to know a long time ago told me...

the most important thing

is to put fear into everybody right away.

So when we get in there,

let me do all the talking.

When do you want to do this?

-When do you think you can get the guns?

-Anytime.

-Could you get them today, for instance?

-I guess so. Sure.

If that's the case, then we'll go there

tomorrow and make our withdrawal.

-No sense in waiting around, right?

-I guess not.
