The Maiden Heist Page #4

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.

Roger, really?

Roger, that`s wonderful.

I knew,

once you wrapped your mind around it,

that Florida would be the place for us.

All of those beaches and sunshine.

As nice as Florida is,

I was thinking Denmark.

-Denmark?

-Yeah.

Are you kidding?

I realize it`s not a conventional choice,

but l`ve heard nice things.

Are there beaches in Denmark?

Does it even get warm there?

Not like Florida, no,

but probably there`s a few weeks a year

that are very pleasant.

I`m not sure about a beach.

Roger, that sounds like

a great place to retire.

I can`t wait.

Yeah, well,

I thought it might be something different.

-lt`s different.

-Yeah.

-Where`s Charles?

-He said he`d be here.

Sorry l`m late. I went to the wrong bench.

-The gentleman over there...

-Turn around, turn around.

We have to be extra careful now.

No telling who might be watching.

There`s a new plan.

We`re going to take the pieces

during the move.

-But won`t there be guards?

-We are the guards. Tell him, Roger.

Needlebaum`s taking volunteers

to work security.

If we volunteer,

we`ll have perfect access to the pieces.

-How do you know that?

-I snuck into his office and read the file.

-You did?

-Yeah.

Roger, l`m impressed.

-Thank you, Charlie.

-All right.

We should move on.

This is starting to look suspicious.

I`ll keep you men informed

on a need-to-know basis.

George, George, wait! Wait!

What is it?

You said we`re gonna steal the pieces

during the move.

What happens when the crates are opened

in Denmark and three pieces are missing?

That`s a good point.

Would you please turn around?

They`re gonna see us.

-Who`s ``they``? We`re at the park.

-Gentlemen...

Gentlemen, let me ask you a question.

Do the Communists control Grenada?

I am not that familiar with Grenada. Do they?

Hell no, they don`t, and do you know why?

-Because you invaded?

-Exactly.

Operation Urgent Fury was a shining beacon

of military preparedness.

So when you ask me what happens

when three pieces are missing in Denmark,

it offends me.

It`s like you discount my training.

I`m sorry, George.

I didn`t mean to doubt your training.

-Thank you, I appreciate that.

-But seriously,

what happens when three pieces

are found missing in Denmark?

All right.

Since the phrase ``on a need-to-know basis``

clearly means nothing to you,

we are going to have

three perfect fakes made.

But that`s not the same, is it?

I thought the whole point

was to get the real pieces.

-Yes.

-No.

No, we`re gonna get...

We`re going to get the real pieces,

but we`ll exchange the fakes for the originals

during the move.

That way, when they open the crates

in Denmark, no one`s the wiser.
