Take the Money and Run Page #4

by beating the child

and claims to have

conversations with God

in which they discuss salvation

and interior decorating.

Destitute and in love Virgil attempts

to change his life with one bold stroke.

And if you just take this to

window number 9.

Thank you.

What does this say?

Uh, can't you read that?

I can't read this. What is this?

"Abt natural"?

No it just reads, "Please put $50

thousand into this bag. Act natural."

Does it say, "Act natural"?

I, uh, am pointing a gut at you.

That looks like "gub",

it doesn't look like "gun".

No, it's "gub". That's a B.

No you see, it's an N... G-U-N.

George, would you step over here

a moment please.

What does this say?

"Please put $50 thousand

into this bag and... abt"

- What's "abt"?

- "Act"

Does this look like "gub" or "gun"?

"Gun". You see.

But what's "abt", mean?

It's "act"...A- C-T, act.

Please put $50 thousand

into this bag. Act natural.

- Oh, I see, this is a hold up.

- Yes.

May I see your gun?

Well, you'll have to have this note

initialized by one of our vice-presidents

before I can give you any money.

I'm in a rush.

- What?!

- You see I'm in a rush.

I'm sorry, but that's our policy.

The gentleman in the gray suit.

That's gun... l'm pointing...

That's "gub"...

I'm pointing a gun at you.

That's B.

- No, it's N.

- Miss Frank!

"I'm pointing a gun at you.

Abt natural".

- What is "abt"?

- No, it's "act".

No, it couldn't be. It's a plain B.

No, no, I'm afraid not.

That's "act naturally.

I'm pointing a gun at you."

Mr. Miller!

"I'm pointing a gub"

No, that's gun, G-U-N.

It's "I'm pointing a gun at you."

It looks like a B, but it's a N.

Hello, Louise?

Listen, I can't make our date today.

I've got to go to Boston

and give a concert.

Well, look, why don't I give you

a call in about a...

In about 10 years.

Virgil Starkwell is apprehended

in the act of bank robbery.

He is given 10 years in the State's

strictest maximum-security prison.

It is here that he mingles with

harden criminals for the first time.

The prison has not been built that

can hold me, Virgil tells another inmate.

I'll get out of this one,

if it means spending my entire life here.

After all, what a child becomes...

Let's face it, it's our fault.

Would you let a man say

a word or two...

I knew there would be a day

when I said this kid is rotten.

You know the expression, a rotten kid?

That's what this kid is.

- It has to do with the genes.

- What?!? Genes??

Don't talk fancy in front of the man.

Because you know, you might

make an impression and you know...

The time passes slowly for Virgil.

He works hard and tries

to adjust to prison life.
