- I told him that.

I mean, we're all smart,

but he wears glasses.

- What's good? Pine, right?

- Oak.

Redwood is what woodpeckers peck on.

It's the strongest.

- That makes good trees, right?

- Yeah.

This looks good.

This is good stuff.

Look how long it is.

We could build a house with this.

- We're just building a tunnel, right?

- Whoa, whoa.

- Like a house. This is good stuff.

- A house, yeah.

How much is that?

- A thousand bucks.

- A thousand bucks a box! Jesus!

- How many sticks in a box?

- Fifty.

My God, this is robbery.

This is unbelievable.

What do we need

all this dynamite for?

What do we need the dynamite for?

Just be careful...

- Ahh.

- Can I have one of these and one of these?

- Uh, okay. One of these?

- Mm-hmm.

- One of these. Okay. You want a bag?

- No, that's okay.

- I haven't got a bag. You'll

take'em like this? -That's fine.

It's gonna be

a lot of work, fellas.

But when it's over, we're gonna

be all very well compensated.

- Who's gonna work the drill?

- What do you mean?

I don't know how

to work a drill like that.

There's nothing to that.

Whoever's gonna work the drill,

I'll tell you now...

...it's gonna make a lot of noise.

No, no.

What do you think this is?

This is why I get the big dough. We

wrap this blanket around it, it's fine.

You gotta know how to work

a drill like that.

Whoa, take it easy.

Shut it off.

Will you guys shut up?

What did you do, tear a wall down?

- We ain't started yet.

- What do you mean?

What are you waiting for,

the drilling season?

Do me a favor.

Go upstairs and bake.

You know, I...

I don't need any help.

- You got it?

- No. You better brace me.

Guys! What are you doing?

Come on, get that thing!

Get that thing!

You got it?

Okay, hold it.

Could we have a half dozen

of the chocolate cinnamon?

We're closed... for Easter.

- That was three months ago.

- Greek Easter.

- Well, that was two months ago.

- Chinese Easter! We're closed, okay?

I'd like a cookie for my daughter.

Honey, what kind do you want?

All right! Come on, have a cookie.

Sure, take a cookie.

- How you doin'?

- Oh, hi.

- You still open?

- Yeah, yeah, sure. Sure.

- Give me two cherry cinnamon.

- Cherry cinnamon, right.

- New here, huh?

- Just opened today, yeah.

What's all that noise in the back?

Oh, that's the, uh, cookie press.

Needs oil, you know.

- There's a slight leak.

- This is our plumber.

- I'm the plumber. There's a tiny leak.

- How's it goin'?

- What do I owe you?

- Oh, no charge.

- Thanks a lot. Take it easy.

- I gotta get some sandbags.

The cookies,

they're 85 cents.

- Somebody get the sandbags.

- Just relax. You're a perfect fit.
