The Maiden Heist Page #5

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.

-Charles. Can you handle the paintings?

-Well, sure, but what about your statue?

I`m not a sculptor. I don`t do sculpture.

I`ve had something in the works

for quite some time.

A few more adjustments,

and it`ll be just fine.

You really got this figured out, George.

Operation Urgent Fury, gentlemen.

Operation Urgent Fury.

We sign up to work the move on Friday.

I trust you`ll be there.

-Charles, that`s really good.

-Thank you.

-Would you like to see yours?

-ls it done?

Well, just a few finishing touches.

-Of course.

-Come on.

What do you think?

You don`t like it.

I think it`s a pretty good likeness, Roger.

Maybe if it had a frame.

You could see it a little better...

No, no, it`s all wrong.

The face, the body, Charles.

-She looks like a pear.

-A pear?

-Look at the size of her face, it`s huge.

-What are you talking about?

It`s called ``voluptuous.`` And the hair,

it`s supposed to be long,

flowing, windswept.

What about the glow?

-Charlie, this girl has no glow!

-Roger...

-Look at the size of her jaw!

-I can only paint what I see,

and that`s the way I see it!

The jaw, with the hips, what is that?

-l`m not a Xerox machine, Roger!

-She looks like a Neanderthal!

-Got a jaw like a Cro-Magnon!

-Roger.

-l`m sorry.

-I paint the way I feel,

and that`s the way

your woman makes me feel!

But then how come yours is perfect?

Because l`ve had a lot of practice,

that`s why. Almost 30 years.

And it`s not perfect. It`s not perfect at all.

There`s a... There`s an aura

I can`t seem to capture.

I mean, l`ve tried.

I`ve tried over and over and over,

and I just can`t...

It just eludes me.

Roger, l`m sorry.

That...

Probably my wife. Could we take two?

-George here.

-It`s Roger.

I thought I said

we`d only use this number for emergencies.

This is an emergency.

Charlie couldn`t do the painting.

What do you mean he couldn`t do it?

Roger, this is a vital part of the plan.

Without this, everything falls to pieces!

Trust me, George, it was terrible.

-How did his look?

-His looked great.

What am I gonna do, George?

I don`t know anybody else who paints.

All right, relax, soldier, relax.

Look, the art world has a long tradition

of young painters doing forgeries

to make ends meet. Some of our

greatest artists got their start that way.

And if there`s one thing that this city has,

it`s lots of starving artists.

-lt`ll cost you some coin, though.

-How much coin?

I don`t know. A couple of hundred, probably.

-That`s a lot of money.

-Roger, listen.

You`ve got to get something done.

Otherwise...

Well, the whole mission is fubared.

Okay, George.

Something I can help you with?

Hi. I`m admiring your work.
