Where the Money Is Page #3

Synopsis: Carol Ann MacKay is a fine, popular nurse at a retirement home, and spends her free time with her hunky athletic husband Wayne MacKay, who was the star of her school's football team when she was high school prom queen; he still would do anything for her, including cleaning up the messes her ideas get them in. When legendary bank robber Henry Manning, who had a major stroke in prison, is placed in the home, supposedly having lost all control over his body, she notices he must be in far better condition then he lets appear, and tries everything to find out- when she pushes his wheelchair in a canal at a picnic, Henry gives up. The McKays keep his secret and Henry doesn't actually run in Waynes car as his first impulse was; soon Carol gets his confidence and the two start planning how they three can commit another robbery on an armored money transport, which brings them together. It doesn't go quite according to plan, but they get the loot; however, before the money can be split some big

- What, splash me?

Come on!

Now, what do you want?

- Come on!

- [Gasps]

- I don't know.

- You don't know.

I just... I don't like

being made a fool of.

Two and a half years I've been

working on this hype, and that's it?

- That's it.

- I don't believe this.

So, what are you

gonna do?

What am I gonna do? What the hell are

you gonna do? And what about him, huh?

- Hey!

- And what about you?

What about me what?

You wanna be a hero, huh?

You wanna stick me back in

the slammer for a couple years?

Are you... Is he...

Are you calling me a rat?

Oh, boy.

I need a drink.

# [Blues]

You know, it's funny

the kind of stuff...

that you can get shipped

into a prison library.

Tantric Buddhism,

mind control, autohypnosis.

Gotta... gather up

all that stuff.

Find out what you need

and make it work for you. I did that.

All day, all night.

Every day, every night.

Like I was in training.

Yeah. I played sports.

Yeah, well, faking a stroke

is not exactly like, uh,

an Olympic event,

but I gotta tell ya,

if you know they're gonna be

stickin' pins in ya,

and you know that there are gonna

be guards 24 hours a day...

just waitin' for you

to screw up on the hustle,

then you know it ain't good enough

to be just... playin' possum.

You gotta be a possum.

Dead possum.

So you work,

and you learn just to funnel...

everything down,

so finally all you know,

all you are is a heartbeat.

I gotta tell you,

you get to a place like that,

it is some kick in the ass.

Then you take that,

and after a while,

you can shape it and mold it

and squeeze it till...

Hey, I can make every heartbeat

sound like Frank Sinatra.

- Man.

- Yeah, man.

I'll tell ya...

One day, this cockroach...

just climbed off my collar,

decided to take a hike

around my face,

and he parked...

half on my upper lip

and half inside my nose.

He just scratched around

in there,

lookin' for a little action.

That's when you hope and pray

there's a guard watching...

so that the moment won't be

entirely lost to history.

But, hey, after a while,

a couple hours,

doesn't matter.

Just a contest...

between Frank Sinatra,

you and the cockroach.

So who won?

[Sizzling]

And you thought that you could get a

rise out of me with a little lap dance.

Lap... Lap dance?

It's, um...

Therapy.

Kind of... hippy stuff.

You wanna dance?

Come on.

It's okay with you?

Yeah, sure.

What the hell.

What the hell.

# Lie to me

# And tell me that

you'll stay here tonight

# Tell me that

you'll never leave

- [Continues]

- [Carol] Aren't you worried

being seen like this?

You're the one that

ought to be worried.

Everybody wondering

what the hell you're doing...
