Got that?

Got it?

Yeah, I got it.

I just need one thing

out of you,

and that's the drop point.

Understand?

Understand?

That way, I get my man,

I get the money,

and the money gets back

to the people it belongs to.

Straighten up

your little corduroy jacket.

Now piss off.

I'm sick of lookin' at you.

You really do like to lean, don't ya?

It's part of the job, pal.

Yeah? it doesn't make things

too easy, lemme tell you.

[ Chuckles ]

The man's afraid of heights.

[Alarm Ringing ]

[Alarm Continues] Goddamn it!

You set the alarm off!

Come on!

Now move!

Move, move, move,

move, move!

Let's go.

[Woman Screams]

[Glass Shatters]

No! You triggered the alarm!

You're starting to scare

the sh*t out of me!

[Tires Screeching ]

[Alarm Continues]

All right, let's move.

I covered him out the back.

He's okay.

Let's move, all right?

[Tires Squealing ]

I never thought I'd be standing around,

waiting for this cowboy to make it.

Well, you are,

and he will.

You don't have

any doubts, huh?

About our desperado?

About your badge.

[ Chuckles ]

Boy. You are really an

a**hole, you know that?

Can't get over

the mistake you made.

You've been set up, you know.

By a cop.

That's right.

He's waiting for you right now

at the wrong place.

Me and my friend

don't want to show up.

You two hotshots have both

been set up, haven't you?

You know what always

amazed me about you?

A guy with your attitude

never carries a gun.

That's stupid.

Very stupid.

[Gun C*cks]

[ Engine Starts]

[Tires Squealing ]

[ Footsteps, Faint ]

[Chattering ]

[Man on P.A., Faint]

[Coins Drop]

[Coins Drop]

[ Continues ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

I want a room.

One night, maybe two.

Five bucks a night.

I'm expecting someone.

If she shows, send her right up.

Hey, you want a TV?

It's a dollar extra.

[ Country]

[ Detective ] Get on over and

keep your eye on our little lady.

[ Detective #2 ]

Right.

[ Detective #3 ] Forget it. I'll

put an A.P.B. out on all of them.

No, you won't.

What the hell

are you talking about?

It's tough doing business

with lowlifes.

They're unreliable.

But we got a few moves left.

Just, uh, makes the game

a little more interesting, that's all.

Yeah, well, I've been

watching your moves.

I gotta tell you,

I'm not all that impressed.

[ Chuckles ]

No sh*t?

[ Imitates Chuckle ]

No sh*t.

We got a mutiny

with this man here.

Sh*t.

Wait a second.

Now you're still on my team,

and I am your manager.

You do exactly

what I tell you to do, got it?

Suit yourself.

Now you're talking.

[ Engine Starts]

What about the other two?

I haven't seen them.

You better stay

out of sight for a while.
