But that pretty much

takes the cake!

It was my idea.

Oh, well, that's

brilliant, Lou.

Now when they find

the plane,

And they realize

the money's gone,

They'll know right off

who took it.

Well, that's-

That's what's cool

about it, though.

I mean, we wouldn't

tell somebody

If we were the ones

that did it.

It's not like he said

That you actually saw

a plane going down.

Just you thought you

might've heard one

With engine trouble.

You want me to

burn the money?!

I am not going

to prison over this!

If it looks like there's

even the slightest chance

Of us getting caught,

I swear to God,

it's all gonna vanish!

You understand?

"it was a pineapple."

Hee hee hee hee hee...

Oh, God...

This is gonna be fun.

Woman:
Where the hell

have you been?!

You come when

I'm always finished.

I'm finished,

you a**hole!

Hey, Nancy!

Don't-

Don't hit-

Don't hit

Mary Beth.

Remember,

nobody knows about this.

That includes Nancy.

She'll have to find out

about it sooner or later.

She'll wonder where all

the money's coming from.

2 hours late!

Ow! Stop it!

Tell her when we decide

it's safe to keep it,

But not before then.

Then the same goes

for Sarah.

Of course.

Damn it!

Nancy:
Come on!

You promised to

shovel the walk,

You lazy son

of a b*tch!

Calm down, baby.

I got a good reason

for being late. What?

See you, Lou!

You know, I bet

he's telling her.

That guy can't

keep a secret.

Hey, honey.

Hey.

Where you been?

I was starting to get

worried about you.

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, that's all right.

Hey.

What happened to your head?

It's OK. It's

just a scratch.

It's all bloody.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah, sure.

What if you were

walking in the woods-

It's not deep.

And you found

a bag full of money,

Let's say $4 million...

Would you keep it?

Of course not.

Here, hold that.

How come?

Well, for starters,

it'd be stealing.

We were talking about

lost money here,

Nobody's looking for it.

$4 million

of lost money...

Yeah.

That nobody's

yeah. Looking for?

Well, so then

whose money is it?

Yours.

Oh.

Ooh.

It's my money?

But whose money

was it before?

A bank robber's.

So then it's

the bank's money.

All right, it's, uh,

A drug dealer's.

It was-

Hank.

I mean, this is

really silly.

Obviously you want me to say

something in particular.

I don't know what it is,

But you want me

to agree with you

Or say that you're right

or something.

But I wouldn't take it.

That's just me. I wouldn't.

It's real.

If we keep it,

we never have to worry

About money again.

But we don't have to worry

about money now, Hank.

You've got a good job.

We don't need it.

Yeah, but nobody gets
