- Then you call them.

And let me know when the Bureau

checks in.

- All right, Lieutenant. Hold on.

- And, Marvin,

we're looking for suitcases,

cartons, packages,

- anything that will hold the money.

- All right, Lieutenant.

- Bill, check the airport and trains.

- BILL:
Right, Lieutenant.

Marcie, get me the Turnpike authority.

Calm down, Eddy. I'll get 'em for you.

Did you have a good afternoon, sir?

Fine. Just fine.

Any calls?

They're by your phone, sir.

I won't be needing you

tonight, John.

Thank you, sir.

(LAUGHING)

Get it on tape, all the details,

Oh, give 'em time to think.

Don't make 'em hurry.

- Phil.

- Yeah?

Better play waiter.

Go out there and tell 'em that we're

gonna buy them dinner,

two bucks a head, as regulations.

Make out a list, send for it now.

Keep it simple. Paper plates,

lots of napkins.

- All right.

- Marcie, give Phil a pencil and pad.

Yes, sir.

Now, Mr. Wexler,

what about the numbers on those bills?

No numbers. Just small bills.

(LAUGHING)

Did he have anything to say to you?

Yeah, he said,

"Get in the elevator," that's...

He put a gun in my face.

You know, I was really scared.

(ALL CHATTERING)

Didn't know a guy looking

like a businessman...

What do you want?

- Huh?

- What do you wanna eat?

- Oh, chicken salad sandwich.

- Chicken salad sandwich.

- On white.

- Yeah, yeah.

- What do you want?

- I wanna get outta here.

So am I.
