then I got to say

You got cheap tastes.

But if you're

looking for sable and a deluxe cruiser,

well, that makes

more sense.

I want more than that.

I want my life to be

whipped cream

and silk sheets.

And without problems.

You're not exclusive.

Perhaps I am not.

I'll steal, if necessary.

But, uh I have

certain reservations.

That's interesting.

Now, what kind

of reservation?

For instance

uh, a hot stove you wouldn't steal?

I wouldn't steal from those

whocouldn't afford to lose.

How do you like this?

A blonde Italian Robin Hood.

What about you,

Mr. Brittain?

Do you have

a master plan or a set ofdreams?

I don't need them.

I just live my life

as I see fit,

and do what I want.

I have a ball.

I take things

as they come.

Then take this,

will you?

This is the sort

of thing

that comes one time

in your life.

Go on.

Eric has an idea,

an incredibleidea.

If we could raise

that sub,

get it yo work,

why not pirates?

You're kidding me.

You think I'm kidding?

A hijack

with a submarine?

Mm-hmm.

I got a better idea.

We put you in a bikini

and strap you

to the wings of a 707,

and we fly you

over Fort Knox.

While all the people

on the ground are looking at you,

we sneak

in the back door and steal the gold.

Please.

Take me seriously.

You I take seriously.

But not some pipe dream

about running off in a submarine

to pull a heist

on the high seas.

That, Miss Lucchesi,

is for laughs.

Have you ever thought

about what you could get

by even pointing a gun

at an ocean liner?

30 years, if we're lucky.

Failing that,

that leaky war memorial at the ocean bottom

might wind up

back at the ocean bottom,

but this time

with all of us in it.

Will you come over

to the motel and discuss this?

I don't think so.

If you're

so difficult now, Mr. Brittain,

how can we ever

become friends?

I got a funny feeling

we are friends.

Very good friends.

Linc.

What?

There are three idiots

over at the motel having a seance,

and they need

two more idiots to make a quorum.

And they sent for us?

Who else?

We could stop

the Queen Mary

anywhere here,

just off the coast

of Abaco Island.

We'll travel

at night, surface, wait for her.

Wait a minute.

Just a moment.

That submarine's

been on the bottom of the ocean

for 20 years.

Brittain, let me

ask you something.

Can you guarantee

that you'd be able

to raise her?

I guarantee you nothing.

For argument's sake,

Mr. Lauffnaur,

let's assume she's dry.

Let's further assume

you can raise her

and get her

in operating condition.

Enter the gracious Queen.

What are you going

to do with her?

Or to her?

There must be thousands
