Can't sleep.

Willie, what's the matter?

I had a dream about Bobby...

my oldest son, when I spanked him once

when he was little.

I don't even remember

what the hell it was all about.

What could it have been?

Come home from work...

my wife tells me he did something wrong,

whatever it was.

So I ask him why he did it.

He says he didn't do it.

So I crack him across the rear end,

and I ask him again.

He still says he didn't do it,

whatever it was.

So I crack him again.

I was young at that time.

I didn't want to let him get the best of me.

Can you imagine that?

I kept smacking him

across that little rear end of his...

till finally he said, "Yeah, yeah."

Whatever the hell it was, he did it.

Then he ran to the bed...

put his head in the pillow...

wouldn't look at me.

We never had any fun after that.

He only lasted till he was 18, that kid.

I never got the chance to explain.

Come on, Willie.

Get some sleep.

No wonder the big tube we bought

a week ago is practically gone.

You don't have to use that much.

We're gonna be rich in a couple hours.

Leave me alone.

I don't know if I'm gonna shave.

-You're gonna shave?

-I don't know.

Joe, are you shaving?

No, I'm pouring coffee.

I mean, are you shaving this morning?

I'm not gonna shave.

You can shave if you want to.

What the hell for?

No. This is too big. Too big.

-What about this one?

-Too small.

-Here.

-No, that's a small one, too.

Let's see. Yeah, that works.

-Yeah. More like that.

-Let me see that. We'll match it.

Right there. Look, that's it, right there.

-Good.

-Here's another one like that.

-Too small.

-Willie's doing a better job than you.

-Willie's in the way.

-Yeah.

-All right. No, that's....

-That's good.

-That's the big one.

-lt is? No, let me see that.

No, it isn't. It's perfect. Good.

That's it.

That's not it. Let's start again.

-Let's start from scratch.

-The bank will be closed.

My, don't you look snappy.

I used to wear this when I was bartending.

Here, put these in your pocket.

Which one do you want?

Don't make no difference to me.

Al, button your top button.

Right there. That's it.

-Am I okay?

-Fine. Can you see mine?

-Looks fine to me.

-Me, too.

Okay, then.

Let's get going.

Could we go over the whole thing

one more time?

If we go through this again,

I'm really gonna get nervous.

Don't you worry about a thing.

I'll be watching out for you.

Just stick by me and stay loose.

That was quick.

-I didn't know you could whistle like that.

-Haven't done it in a while.

How're you doing today?

We'd like to know how much you'd charge

just to take us to Manhattan and back?

One of them has got to go to a bank
