Goddamn!

Goodbye, Nadine!

Wow. I thought I was gonna have

to wax that bastard, sure.

Your gun Harman.

We're a long way from home free.

Give me the piece.

I think we forgot Al Dutcher's gun.

Let's go.

Nadine, we're home Nadine.

Nadine?!

Get that stuff inside.

Didn't see my wife, did you?

No, I didn't see her all day today.

- But I'll keep my eyes peeled.

- Thank you

Very kind of you Mrs. Taft.

Oh, just common courtesy.

You don't suppose she's

run off, do you?

No Ma'am. I don't think so.

Well, you never can tell.

There's macho's all around

this place, you know.

They're after me all the time.

- Yes Ma'am.

- Just don't get any ideas.

- No Ma'am.

The milkman is the worst.

I make him leave his yogurt on the stoop..

...and I don't bring it

in until after he's gone.

That's good thinking.

Excuse me. That's mine.

It's probably an

obscene phone call.

Oh dear.

Listen, you don't have any

whiskey around here, do you?

I'll get you some whiskey in a minute but

I don't want you getting loaded though.

Damn tooth of mine won't quit.

- Still hurts, huh?

- Yeah.

Here, open up that other sack.

Charley!

Charley, come here!

Come here, Charley!

Charley, come here. Quick!

Charley look at this money, will you?

Just look.

These are $50 bills and

$100 bills, Charley.

We done hit the giant,

big daddy jackpot!

What's the matter. You're not gonna

tell me it's counterfeit, are you?

No it's good.

Oh, money! Money! Money!

Oh Lord, Charley, do you know..

...that these are all $100 bills!

How much money you reckon we got here?

I don't know.

Uh... half a million?

Could be.

What's bothering you?

I don't know. Something smells bad.

Charley.

You smell bad. Now, don't you run game

out on me or I'll hang you out to dry.

What's that kind of money

doing in a Tres Cruces bank?

Where should it be?

A bank that size, figures to have maybe...

30... $20,000 in it's stock.

Now listen Charley, Just let

me ask you one question.

- The money was there, right?

-Yeah.

- Now it's here. Right?

- Yeah.

So what's the big deal?

We interrupt this program

with another late bulletin

about the Tres Cruces bank robbery

in which there are 3 known dead

and one sheriff's deputy still

in critical condition.

Harold Young,

Tres Cruces bank manager,

has estimated that the bandits

escaped with less than $2,000.

Sheriff Horton of San Miguel county

predicts an early arrest.

And now back to your programme.

What the hell was that about?

I don't know.

Who are they kidding? Us?

Don't they think we can count?

Doesn't make any sense, unless..

Unless what?

Unless it's a drop.

What's a drop?

Now you know what dirty money is.
