Small Time Crooks Page #3

Jesus! For what?

I believe a flower shop.

A flower shop!

It's a little old lady.

Her husband died, and she wants to

make the joint into a flower shop.

- That don't make no difference. Somebody's got

to get to her. - To get to her and what?

Beg her, con her, trick her.

I'm gonna go to her shop

and threaten her.

- You can't threaten her. That's all we need...

- Don't do that.

- I gotta figure a way to talk to her.

- And say what?

If her husband just died, what

are you gonna say? You need a plan.

Right.

I gotta figure something.

I'll charm her.

- What are you gonna use for charm?

- Knock it off. We're serious.

Some master plan.

You don't even have the lease.

I'm gonna get the lease.

That's what this is about.

You guys are gonna rob a bank, and some old

lady has the joint first. What a hoot.

- That's very funny.

- I'm gonna slam your head off. Jesus!

- Hey!

The bank isn't even

next to the pizza joint.

I told you that before.

That's what's great about it.

Why?

'Cause there's nothing suspicious.

The only thing suspicious

is your sanity.

When did any of you guys

dig a tunnel?

It's no big deal.

You really underestimate

Ray's personality.

He's one of the most likable dishwashers

I've ever met.

Don't pay any attention to her.

We're gonna proceed.

- Uh...

- Yeah?

I'm lookin'

for Nettie Goldberg.

- Who wants her?

- Uh, I got something for her.

I want to make her an offer.

A big offer. Big dough. Big dough!

Come on in.

- I'm Nettie Goldberg.

- I know you.

You're Benny

from cell block eight!

- Oh, God, Ray! How are you?

- Ray!

- You're lookin' at me like I'm a stranger.

- Small world! I'm sorry.

Come in. Small world.

You took the lease

on that empty store?

Yeah. I'm gonna open

a flower shop.

What're you gonna do

with a flowershop?

Burn it down.

Burnit down? You're still

burning stuff down for insurance?

I burn everything. That's how I

sent two kids through college.

That's crazy.

There's no money in that.

Benny, you gotta come in

with us.

- Who's "us"?

- "Who's us"? What are you so suspicious for?

You don't trust me?

It's me, Ray.

- Remember my nick name in the joint?

- The Brain?

The Brain. That's what

the guys used to call me. I got...

But, Ray,

that was sarcastic.

- That wasn't sarcastic, that was real.

- No, it was sarcastic.

- There was nothing sarcastic about it!

- No, really, it was.

- It was real. I was The Brain.

- No, it was sarcastic.

- It wasn't sarcastic.

- Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

It was sarcastic!

- Fellas, this is Benny. He's in.

- Benny? Looks like a cop to me.

- How you doin'?

- Good. Nice to meet you.

- You know you're workin' with a genius?
