The Maiden Heist Page #3

Synopsis: Three middle-age guards learn that their museum has sold a wing of art to a Danish museum. Each has a favorite in that collection, and none can imagine life without the peace and completion it brings. Though mere acquaintances, they plot a theft of the three pieces between the time they are packed and the time they're loaded onto a plane. First each must obtain a forgery; then, they have to smuggle the forgeries into the museum and find a way to make the switches. The heist is complicated by Roger's intrusive wife - he's promised her a trip to Florida for their anniversary - and George's proclivity for taking his clothes off when standing in front of the warrior statue he loves.

Well, you know the layout.

I thought the north entrance would be

our best chance. It`s quiet and secluded,

so we won`t be spotted from the street.

The door has a triple-action security lock,

controlled electronically,

and there`s only one posted guard.

The guard on duty is permitted

two five-minute bathroom breaks

every three hours.

We preset the electronic locks

at a specified time.

Make our way down the corridor

to the main exhibit hall.

What about the two interior guards?

I don`t know.

Well, we could always use

the south entrance.

There`s only a guard posted there

on the weekends.

The door is an electronically-controlled

bolt lock

with a magnetic tripwire

that is triggered by opening the door.

There`s a three-second delay.

So, if we hurry, we could get inside,

reset it before it activates.

What about the motion sensors?

-Well, I hadn`t quite worked that out yet.

-No, I guess you hadn`t.

Gentlemen, I have a question for you.

Are you ready to get serious?

-Watch your step.

-You hit me in the face!

-Easy, easy. Use your goggles.

-Be careful.

All right, here we are.

This is something else.

-What a lovely evening.

-Yeah.

-Wow! Look at that!

-Yeah.

Perfect. This is good. This will work.

Are you sure

nobody`s gonna come up here?

No, no. Nobody else has a key.

Good. All right, gentlemen.

I`ll go first. When I get down,

I`ll call for one of you to follow me.

And don`t worry.

Once you`ve attached the rope,

you won`t fall.

You do, however,

have to control your speed.

Remember, left hand is the gas,

right hand is the brake.

George, where`d you learn how to do this?

Marines. I was in Wave 3

of the Grenada lnvasion.

Wait, wait, wait.

I`m okay. I`m okay.

Charles, you don`t care

about these flower pots, do you?

My flowers? Oh, dear.

-Well, I guess not.

-Okay, who`s next?

-Roger. Roger, you`re next, okay?

-I don`t want to do this.

-No, Roger, you`ve got to. You gotta do it.

-Well, why do I have to go first?

Well, `cause I don`t want to go first.

-Why not?

-Well, because l`m scared.

-l`m not going.

-Yes, you are.

Ladies, can we please get a move on?

He`s coming. He`s coming.

He`s coming. He`s coming.

You`re doing fine.

-You sure about this?

-Of course l`m sure.

Let her rip, soldier!

-Good luck, Roger.

-Okay, here goes.

Roger, you okay?

I`m not sure.

You`re doing fine, Private.

The hard part`s behind you.

Just remember, left hand gas,

right hand brake.

-I think my hand is slipping.

-Which one?

Both.

Roger, are you okay?

I can`t believe it. I`m alive.

Rose, l`ve been thinking about

what you said, you know,

about me retiring

and us moving somewhere.

Maybe it`s not such a bad idea.
