The Friends of Eddie Coyle Page #3

at least one of them will be shot.

Understand?

I understand.

Here's your coat.

We leave by the back door.

Everything will be all right.

- Don't be afraid.

- Okay.

Now, you do what

your mommy tells you.

It'll be all right.

They don't want to hurt us.

- All they want is the money.

- He's right.

We don't get any kicks

from hurting people.

Nobody does anything silly...

nobody gets hurt.

Give him your car keys.

Let's go to the bank, Mr. Partridge.

You sleep late, Mr. Partridge.

I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you.

You're probably a brave man.

Don't try to prove it.

We don't plan to hurt you

or anyone else...

unless you make us,

or somebody fucks up.

Now, sit down on the floor of the car.

Go.

I'm going to take off your blindfold,

Mr. Partridge...

and then you get sitting up.

Mr. Partridge...

do you see the man

in that phone booth?

Yes.

When he gives me the signal, I'll know he's

made contact with our friend at your home.

You will then walk to

the front door of your bank...

ring the bell in the usual way...

go into the bank

and tell your people what's going on.

Then you will open

the back door and let us in.

If that door is not open in exactly

one minute after you've entered the bank...

you know what will happen

to your family...

and we will leave immediately

in a car you've never seen.

- Do you understand?

- Yes, I understand.

Okay. Go ahead.

Back up so we can see the door.

Stay right where you are.

Don't press no buttons.

Calm down. Keep quiet.

No one will get hurt.

Hey. Open the door.

Come on. Come on.

Tell 'em to sit down on the floor

in front of the desk.

Please sit down on the floor.

Tell 'em the rest.

When the time lock on the vault opens...

these men will take

what they came for.

I will leave with them.

We will return to my house.

Keep on.

There is another man

at my house with my family.

They will pick him up and leave.

This man has told me

no one will be hurt if no one interferes.

I have to believe him.

So, everyone, please cooperate...

and don't set off any alarms.

What time does it open?

When the f*** does it open?

- That's it.

- Open it.

When you get it open,

move towards the desk there...

so I can watch you and the rest

of them at the same time.

You and I are going to go out and get in

a car and go. Tell them what to do.

When these men leave...

get up and take your usual places.

Open the doors. Draw the curtains.

Start to do business.

You've got to give these men at least an hour.

For God sakes, give them the time.

Okay. Let's go.

Put your hands on the seat

and get yourself sitting up.

Come on.

I'm going to point you,

and you'll start walking.
