Band of Robbers Page #4

Synopsis: A comedic adventure that re-imagines Mark Twain's iconic literary characters of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer as grown men in current day. Petty criminal Huck Finn hopes to leave his criminal life behind when he is released from a stint in prison, but his lifelong friend, and corrupt cop, Tom Sawyer, has other plans. Not ready to give up on his childhood fantasies of wealth and adventure, Tom forms the "Band of Robbers," recruiting their misfit friends Joe Harper and Ben Rogers, to join them for an elaborate plan to find a fabled treasure. But the plan soon unravels, thrusting the guys on a wild journey with dangerous consequences...

we wouldn't even be

having this conversation.

What do you know?

Let me show you.

And then you decide.

Okay. Okay.

- Tom.

- I want you to tell them what you told me.

Hey, Muff.

How's it going, Muff?

Muffin.

- So this is the crew.

- Yeah, this is Tom Sawyer's gang.

If anybody asks.

D-Don't tell anybody.

That's on a need-to-know basis,

and nobody needs to know.

Go ahead.

Well, we all know the pawn shop

is a holding area for dirty

money and stolen goods

that need to get cleaned

and distributed.

Yesterday morning

they got something a little more

special than Granny's stolen necklace.

Way better than...

what your grandma would buy.

Yesterday morning

Injun Joe brought something by.

Yeah, right.

Injun Joe is not even real.

Excuse me?

He's made up.

- Hell he is. I know the man.

- Disagree to agree.

Huck and me saw him when we were kids.

I tell you that all the time.

- I knew that. Sorry.

- Why would he keep anything in an old pawn shop?

Here's the real news.

The way I hear it, he's got something so

valuable he don't know how to turn it over.

The way I hear it,

he's got Murrel's treasure.

What else could it be?

Everybody knows Injun's spent his whole

life searching for Murrel's stash.

And there's nobody protecting it?

Nope.

Just sitting in the safe

below the counter.

No guards, no nothin'.

But nobody else

knows about this.

Good. Good.

You're gonna get your share.

No sh*t.

This is it.

You sure we can trust Muff?

Oh, yeah, man.

Muff's legit as a witch's titty.

He used to hang out with Injun

Joe until they had a falling out

'cause Injun started cutting

the tops of people's heads off.

But we gotta get it tomorrow morning,

man, before Injun comes back.

You promise you've really seen him?

Yeah, man.

- He's, like, seven feet tall. Awesome.

- He's a big guy.

He's a white guy.

Not even Indian.

Why do they call him

Injun Joe then?

Guess he identifies with

the culture and aesthetic.

Isn't that kinda racist?

How is it racist to want to

be more like another race?

"Injun"

is racist. That's kind of a slur at the...

Imagine if you were,

like, Spic Kenny, Jap Tony.

"I'm just paying homage

to Japanese culture."

- It's racist to spend this much time talking about it.

- All right, what's the plan?

Operation Mexican Shadow.

10:
00 AM.

I'll enter the pawn shop, acting as

if I'm just there to do some shopping.

10:
05 AM.

Ben will enter, also pretending to

be a normal, civilized shopper.

10:
07 AM.

Huck Finn, the Red-handed,

and Joe Harper,

the Terror of the Seas,

will be dropped off by a

Mexican man in a rental van.

Who is this Mexican,

you may ask?

9:
22 AM.

Huck and Harper will pick up a random
