Jack?

The job, Paul?

The Tuesday after the holiday.

The banks will have been closed...

...from midday Saturday...

...till Tuesday morning.

There'll be that much more

What happens to the money afterwards?

A friend of ours flies it out of the

Ahh!

Would you rather it were printed?

Uh, I've got to go out...

man you thought...

...you saw in the car, just

touch him.

All right?

- Okay.

That's all right, miss - if you'll go

That will be all, thank you.
