why should we run away?

We're not guilty!

Come here, wait a minute!

Hold that!

Unpack that grip!

Unpack the grip!

Run away...

like criminals in the dark!

What for?

We've done no harm.

We've harmed no one.

All our lives

we've lived a clean,

innocent life.

Why should I be

afraid of cops?

Who are we to run away

from the police?

Why should we

fear the police?

Why should we fear 'em?

We got nothing to fear!

That's right.

But on second thought,

if they came in right now,

you know what would happen?

They'd take us to jail!

Pack that grip!

Pack that grip!

Hurry up before

they get in here!

Pack that grip.

That's fine. Hiding away

like thieves in the dark.

For what reason?

For what reason

I ask you?

Why should the police

be after us?

- Why you asking me? I don't know.

- Quiet! Pack the grip.

Nice goings on!

Like criminals

hiding away here.

Then again,

wait a minute!

Why can't we take this

to court and fight this out?

Unpack that grip.

Unpack the grip!

Why sneak away?

Let's take it to court!

You're willing to go

to court, aren't you?

Well, I am.

I've got people to think of.

I'll take it to court.

I'll take it to the highest

courts in the country!

That's what I'll do!

Let's see, where will

I take this?

I'll fight them! Why should

I be afraid of the cops?

But wait a minute!

That requires money.

We have no money.

Mm-hmm, that's

food for thought.

Yeah, we can't.

We gotta get out!

We've gotta get

away from here!

I don't know where we're going

but we've gotta sneak out...

like cowards... cowards!

Wait a minute!

We're not cowards!

Why should we be cowards?

What have we done?

What have we done

to be ashamed off?

Nothing!

Certainly not!

I should say not!

We've done nothing!

But can we prove it?

We can't prove it!

That's the whole trouble. That's

the whole trouble in a nutshell!

But wait a minute!

We've gotta prove it!

We've gotta prove it!

We can't sneak out like this!

We can't sneak out! Think of our

families. Think of our families.

But you can't tell them!

You can't convince them of that!

Pack that grip!

We go to jail

and we don't go to jail!

I pack and then I unpack!

Why don't you

make up your mind?!

- Then on the other hand...

- No!

Ow!

You! Tubby!

Tubby!

Did you hear

anything, dear?

No, I didn't

hear anything.

You'll have to put

the lights out.

I can't sleep

with them on.

- All right.

- Thank you.

Huh?

- Here you are, sir.

- Thank you.

All right, nurse.

I'll take charge of him now.

Doctor, Miss Osborne's

coming with us.

All right, Buster.

Track 23.

Watch yourself!

Now listen, Tubby,

we've got to follow those crooks

and prove they robbed the bank.
