will mean to your career

I realize what this will mean to me, sir

For God's sake

To you

Sorry Didn't mean to wake you

Don't you do this to me

Don't you dare shut me out It's me

I wasn't defending myself

I wasn't defending my family

The only thing I maybe

might have been defending

was my own...

What? Reputation

And even then, it's not mine.

Saving Stander face

Holding up my end

Which is a bullshit excuse

for my shooting people, killing people

You've got to stop this

You know, the truly amazing thing is...

amazing...

don't even feel worse than I do

Pleasejust...

Don't

Please don't

Oh, for Christ's sake

Where the hell is everyone?

They've all been called up

That bomb in Soweto

They have to enforce a curfew.

And meanwhile

we let everything go to sh*t here

You know, a white man could

get away with anything today

while the police

are too busy crushing the blacks!

Coming for lunch, sir?

Terrifically busy

Thank you

Newspaper. Newspaper.

Newspaper. Newspaper.

Newspaper. Newspaper.

Paper, paper, paper

Hey! Hey, excuse me!

Did you see what he did?

Hejust comes barging in, pushing past.

Jesus!

I mean, we're a queue here.

We are all waiting.

You're not the only one in a hurry.

What if we all did that, eh?

It would be a bit of a mess,

wouldn't it?

I don't know

After all, this is a bank.

You're supposed to behave yourself.

Some gentleman!

No. No. No, no, no.

He was wearing... wearing a blue suit...

and, um, big sunglasses on his face,

big sunglasses.

He had big sunglasses and...

and a blue suit. Yes, I think...

You can drop these at lunchtime tomorrow

I'll be in meetings all day

And what are these?

What's got into you?

I blew off some steam

That's all I needed

It won't happen again

If these are to make up for a week of nothing

but trouble, you can keep your roses

- But it might cost you the Bolton

- Oh, no

It'll only take two men.

I didn't believe him. Only two men.

He said, yeah, two men and a hundred blacks.

A hundred kaffirs.

That's rich.

What about

one man and 200 kaffirs, huh?

Bring it in.

We'll take care of it for you.

- Thanks very much.

- Thank you

Going around the corner!

So, he showed the teller the gun

and apparently threatened to blow his

head off if he didn't hand over the money

Anyone else hear that?

Uh, no. Apparently

they were quite busy at the time.

And then he exited through the front

of the bank, went into the street

The security guard pursued him,

but lost him immediately

Any description?

Evidently the same good looker

that hit the first bank

Put out an alert and stake out

the downtown banks

All right

Thanks, guys

The '68 Nederburg.

All right
