or knockin' over a bookstore

or kicking a safe in, man.

This is something else, man. I know that.

You've got publicity. You got

millions of people involved.

You've got, uh, television,

uh, radio, newspapers.

They're gonna be lookin' for us like

flies lookin' for a piece of dead meat.

That's what I mean.

It's big!

You dumb bastard.

You goddamn son of a b*tch!

I want out of this thing,

man! You're crazy!

You're gonna

get us all killed.

I want out of it.

This is it, man.

No, no, Christ. This is...

It's finished, man.

You're nuts.

You're absolutely nuts.

Layin' it into me

just like that.

Twelve hours

before the payoff.

Thanks, Bud.

Okay, what is it?

There isn't gonna be

any payoff, Wally.

You're gonna

get yourself killed.

You think that's the worst thing that could

happen to me in my life is to be killed?

Look at me.

I'm fat and 40, Bud.

This is it for me.

I'm sick of stickin' my hands in people's

pockets for a dollar bill or for...

I'm sick of it, Bud.

I'm goin' all the way

this time.

Yeah.

Okay, if...

you want out,

okay.

I'd be doin' 35 years in Sing Sing

right now if it weren't for you, man.

Aw, that's all right.

Wait a minute.

That's what it is.

But, Wally,

there aren't gonna be

any rainbows, man.

I don't know, Bud.

You know, the funny thing is that kid

up there is gonna identify us anyway.

Once she puts the finger on us, I'd just

like to have a little car fare, that's all.

Wouldn't you?

Okay, man.

Let's go the route.

Come here a minute.

Come on in. Let me run

and give this to her.

Sit down.

What do you want,

sweetheart?

I just wanted to know

where you were last night.

Well, I know that. I

mean, but you weren't here.

So where were you?

Where do you think I was? I was

talking to your brother Wally.

You talked to my brother

until 6:
00 in the morning?

Oh, no, we... I went down

to the whorehouse first,

and then, uh, we had a lot of girls

downstairs, had some beers and... Oh, I see.

Which whorehouse? The one

across the hall? I don't know.

Liar!

Don't you hit me!

You...

What the hell's

the matter with you?

Don't you... Look, kid.

Listen, I'm gonna break your...

Don't you touch me! I'm

not the one who wasn't here!

I didn't go to the other

bedroom! Now shut up!

Damn it!

Oh! You beast!

You bastard!

Sis, what's the matter?

I'll kill you!

You're through,

you dumb b*tch.

Yeah. You're finished.

I am so...

You've had it!

You wanna know why?

Because I'm leaving!

Five years!

You know how she is. Come on.

I've had it. What the

hell's the matter with you?

I'm not gonna do it, man, so forget it.

Forget it.

Forget it!

But you're the only... Leave

me alone. Jesus Christ, will ya?
