who made off with over $50,000 in cash.

However, the thing that makes

this bank robbery a little different...

from the usual bank robbery...

is that these bank robbers

were a little different.

Eyewitnesses at the scene....

-All done. Pete didn't....

-Listen to this.

...all three gunmen

were well into their 70s.

The Gray Panthers, a lobbyist organization

for senior citizens ' rights...

do point out that the incident dramatizes

what the Panthers call:

"A woeful inadequacy

of the current government programs...

"that attempt to deal with the elderly. "

There is confusion today over

the newest Labor Department figures....

-We're famous.

-Did everything go all right?

-Perfect.

-Good.

Pete didn't miss the guns or nothing.

The money is locked

in one of my suitcases...

stashed way in the back

of one of his closets.

Well, that's that.

Yeah. Could you let me

talk to Mr. Bender, please?

Joe Harris.

Bender? Joe Harris. Yeah.

Okay, listen, I'm down here...

at the Queensborough Hospital with Al...

and Willie just died.

Yeah. No, just like that.

The doctor says his heart just gave out.

Anyways, could you send somebody

down here to pick him up?

Me and Al will come over in a little while

and settle all the arrangements with you.

Yeah. Let's do it up nice this time, okay?

To hell with the social security.

We're gonna be taking care of it.

Yeah, cash, Bender, don't worry.

Right. See you in a little while.

Al, are you okay?

-Yeah.

-Hi, Joe.

We heard about Willie.

Jesus. We feel terrible.

Yeah.

We got so worried.

We kept calling, but nobody answered.

Listen, we want you to come over

to our house for a couple of days.

Let us take care of you till

this whole thing's over, what do you say?

It'd be great, Al. You can relax

and fool around with the kids.

Help you take your mind off of things.

-You think so, Joe?

-Yeah.

Yeah, come on.

Stop being a baby. Go ahead.

Okay.

I'll go up and get some clothes.

You got the clothes you left

when you sat for the kids.

Yeah, come on, Al.

-You gonna be all right, Joe?

-Go ahead. Don't bother.

I'll be fine.

We've got plenty of room...

and the kids love playing with you, too,

you know that.

Thanks, Pete, but I'd kind of

like to be alone tonight anyways.

You go ahead and take care of your uncle.

I'll be all right.

Okay.

-We'll see you later on then.

-Okay.

If you change your mind

or you need anything, just give us a call.

-You got our number?

-Yeah, I got it upstairs. Good night.

Good night.

Jesus Christ.

Crying and pissing in your pants

like a three-month-old baby.

I guess the whole goddamn cycle

is complete now.

What a day this was gonna be.
