you-you-

You don't trust us?

Is that what you mean?

That's a lot of money.

I guess I don't.

Look, no-no promises.

If somebody comes searching

For the money,

I'll burn it.

I'll burn it,

listen, and that's it. Hank...

No. That's the only way

I'll do this!

Look, we gotta be

agreed on this.

That's the deal.

That's the deal.

I hold onto it, we wait

till they find the plane.

If nobody mentions it,

We split it up,

and we move away.

OK?

I'm in.

We count it

first.

That's probably

a good idea.

I mean, you know...

Heh heh heh...

Heh heh...

Heh heh...

This is nuts.

Oh, my God...

Hey, what you gonna

buy, Jakey boy?

I'm gonna buy me

a truck.

No. F*** that.

Get something

classy.

Trans-am.

Oh, yeah, in my wildest

f***in' dreams, a Trans-am.

You could buy a fleet

of Trans-ams.

Mary Beth!

Mary Beth!

Where the hell

have you been?

Where you

been, huh?

There's shoes

for baby, ha ha!

Lou:
... 4,350,000,

4,360,000...

4,370,000...

4,380,000...

4,390,000...

$4,400,000!

Isn't that great?

Listen to that.

Look at that sh*t, man.

Look how square it is.

That is cool, huh?

How much is that

apiece?

About a million

and a...

A million

and what? Shh!

A million and

a half? What?

Shh! You

hear that?

Uh-uh.

Oh, sh*t.

Get in the truck.

I'll handle this.

Sh*t.

Go on!

Hank:
Let's go!

Come on, cover up

the money!

Jake, get

in the truck!

Dummy up.

Let's go!

Come on!

Hey, Carl.

Engine trouble,

Hank?

Oh, I wish.

Dog trouble.

Jacob's mutt chased

a fox into the woods.

She tree it?

We thought so, but just

when we went after it,

She came running back.

Ah.

What'd you do

to your head there?

Oh. God, uh...

Heh. Ran into

a tree branch.

Your brother

still out of work?

Yeah.

Lou?

Yeah, him, too.

That's a shame,

ain't it?

Well, we probably better

be heading back-

Hey, hello, Jacob!

Hey, Carl,

how you doin'?

Good, good.

I was beginning

to think

You were trying

to avoid me.

I'm sorry?

Well, you sittin'

over there in that truck.

I thought you was

trying to avoid me.

No. Just sittin'

in the truck.

It's a little cold

out here, you know.

Just keepin' warm.

Well, we probably

better be-

Did you tell him

about the plane?

It sou-sounded

like a plane.

What plane?

What, you heard

a plane?

Uh... I don't know

what he heard.

You know he's always

hearing sh*t.

Maybe you better

tell me, Jacob.

No, that's OK.

We're gonna

get on home.

All right.

All right.

Come on, man.

It's new year's!

Let's get outta here.

Jacob:

call me, Carl.

Happy new year.

Sure you don't

need any help?

No, we're all set.

Thanks.

All right.

goddamn it!

I've seen you do some

pretty stupid things, Jacob,
