When you were at Quentin, did you know a guy named Don Shaffer?
- I don't think so. - Kind of a short, squat guy.
- He was my first husband. - He don't know the man, honey.
- You got a place in town, Max, or what? - Nickname "Lumpy."
I know him. Was that your first husband?
Yeah, I know Lumpy.
What are we gonna do, honey, go down the whole damn list?
First there was Lumpy, then it was Steve the bodybuilder...
...greased himself to death...
...then Raymond, who sold us the lemon out front.
- Did I leave any out? - Oh, will you cut it out?
So how'd you two lovebirds meet?
I met her at a 31 Flavors, of all places.
Yeah, he was 32.
Isn't she a peach?
Why don't we get Sherry and we could all go out dancing later?
Oh, you mean Sherry, that blond that threw up in the car...
...the last time we went out?
I know the kind of broad he wants. A good-looking broad. Marlene.
- I'd really like a beer, if you have one. - Sure, I got beer.
- Want everything on these burgers? - Yeah.
Okay. Here.
Thanks.
- I'll be right back. - Okay.
Thank you, honey.
Not bad.
Get me out of here.
They're killing me. I can't make this scene any more.
Get me out of here.
You got something. I know you got something.
Yeah, I got something.
Well, let's do it.
- Don't you wanna know what it is? - I don't give a damn. Let's just do it.
What is it?
A bunch of old guys play poker over in a motel in the Valley.
They got about $20,000 on the table.
We just tiptoe in, tiptoe out, and it's all ours.
There ain't no cops because they can't call.
- Great. You got the guns? - Yeah.
- We need a shotgun. - Here, honey.
I don't know what to play.
- You still playing that thing? - I'm eating, for chrissake.
You can play later, but I'd prefer now.
Play that song where you yodel.
What's that "Walking Stick" thing you used to play?
What "Walking Stick"? You mean "Hand Me Down My Walking Cane"?
"Walking Cane," yeah, play that.
Come on, we got cause to celebrate.
Alrighty.
Oh, shit, Max.
All right, Jerry. Take it easy. We're all right. He'll be here.
Man, this is very unprofessional.
All I'm saying is you give the man 10 minutes.
He'll be here. It's all right.
It's not all right, man. I've had it. Get me out of here.
Is that him?
No. If it was him, he would have stopped.
That's it. They're coming out. It's over. Let's go.
We're still all right. We still can do it, man.
It's over, man. Look at the people. They're coming out, man.
I mean, I don't care if he shows up with a 20 mm cannon. It's over.
Fuck it.
Jesus. Will you wait a minute, man? They'll see you.
We're all right. There's five more guys in there. Let's do it.
I told you, I'm not taking that game without a shotgun.
You can't cover a fucking poker game without a shotgun, all right?
The plan was to meet your friend here with a shotgun...
...we go in and do the job and we leave, all right?
Now, we've been sitting here all night waiting for the guy with the shotgun...
...and you wanna take it with your cap pistol...
...and I'm telling you it's very un-fucking-professional, all right?
- That's him. - Lf that's him, tell him he's late.
- How you doing? - What's to it, Manny?
Some really fucking weird shit. You know the bartender, the asshole...
What do you got for me?
Go ahead.
I was just gonna... I didn't come with nothing...
...because the bartender, I gave him the key to my place to lock up...
So, what'd you bring me?
- I didn't bring you nothing. But l... - Just tell me, why weren't you here?
- Well, will you let me explain, Max? - Yeah, go ahead.
There's people up there. They're gonna see you.
- Are you out of your mind? - Sorry.
Come on, man. Calm down. You made your point.
You were righteous, okay? Cool it, man. Just cool it.
We fucked the score off on... Hey, hey!
We fucked the score off on account of you, you know that?
Will you just settle down? Get in the car. Please.
You know, I counted on him. He let me down. He was wrong.
- So get in the car. - He was wrong. He let me down.
Hey, get in the car. This ain't gonna make it, man. Okay?
You're wrong, Manny. You know that?
- You know that you're wrong, right? - Come on. There's no money in this.
How's it feel getting fucked out of 20 grand?
It ain't no big thing. I just wanna get you home.
Let's go. It's cold.
- I've gotta cool this dude down. - He won't tell.
I'm gonna make sure so I can keep you on the streets. Turn the key.
- I'm all right. - You going home?
Tell me the truth. You going home? You know what you're doing?
- I won't let you down next time. - Turn your lights on.
Come on, baby.
Shit.
Fucker.
Hi.
What happened? Where've you been?
I had to take care of some business.
What kind of business? Why are you all dirty?
I broke through a wall.
Why?
I did something.
The place looks nice.
All right.
What made you finally decide to unpack?
How far you wanna take this?
I don't know.
I thought we were working on something here, but maybe I'm wrong.
No. What do you think I've been doing?
Guess I never really thought about it.
Want me to lie and say I work on a hot-dog stand? I can't do a regular job.
I'm not gonna take your money.
Well, do you have an alternative for me?
I'm doing what I do.
If you can't take it and it's too heavy for you...
...well, then I'll just walk out the door.
I'll walk, but I don't want to.
Was this just a one-time thing, or what?
That depends on how lucky I get.
The thing I had going got screwed up, so I did another thing.
I'm just trying to get myself together, you know?
If I could just get a decent score, just put one thing together...
...then we can kick back and maybe we can get out of here. That's all.
So I guess what we're really saying here is if I can handle it.
- That's right. - I don't want you to go.
And I don't want to either.
It's just that this is so totally out of my experience. You gotta understand.
I'll promise you that I won't hurt you, and whatever I do doesn't involve you.
I keep it outside.
But maybe it'd be better if you didn't ask me questions.
I'll stay with you as long as I can handle it, but when I can't, I'm gonna go.
I know that.
Just be careful.
I want you to know that what you're doing out there...
...it scares the shit out of me.
It scares me too.
Come here.
You come here.
- Can I give you something? - What is it?
Something I found.
Come on, now. Don't be scared.
Don't be scared.
I can't help it.
Excuse me, sir, would you look right over there, please?
All right, don't move. Get up out of there.
Get the fuck out of there, man.
Get in there.
All right, listen to me! This is a robbery! Everybody on the floor.
- Get down on the goddamn floor! - Open the drawer.
All the way down. All you tellers, down on the floor.
All the way down! Hey, get down!
Open the drawer. Open it up.
Get down before I start killing people!
Get your drawer open, honey. Get your drawer open.
Stop looking at me!
Get down on the goddamn floor!
Thirty seconds.
Twenty seconds.
You in love with me? Answer me! Are you in love with me?
Then stop looking at me, motherfucker, or I'll blow your goddamn face off!
Time's up. Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go!
Let's hit it.
Let's go!
Get back!
Get back. Get down on the floor!
Let's go.
- How much did we get? - We got a bunch.
- How was I? Was I good? - You scared the shit out of me.
Hit it, hit it. Just hit it. Hit it. Let's go.
Make a left here.
- What do we got? - I don't know. I can't tell yet. It's fat.
- What is it? Twenties, 30s, 50s? - Yeah, there's 20s. There's no 30s, man.
- Any ones? - Yeah, there's a few ones.
- A couple hundreds. - Would you say, 20, 30,000? Forty?
What's that look like? What's that look like to you, huh?
- What's this look like, huh? - Let me feel it.
Come on. Asshole.
Put it up your fucking snoot, baby.
- Man. - We got more fucking money here...
Let's go over to your place and cut it up.
- Put it in the bathroom, lock the door... - Right on the floor.
From now on, when I say go, though, man, we gotta go, man.
- When I yell, "Go," go. - The clock...
The clock, my ass. We always go through this shit.
I'll dock you 8 grand you stopped me from getting from that last teller.
Eight thousand fucking dollars.
It was like pulling teeth to get you out of the fucking place.
So we scored.
- Do you like it? - Not really. What are we doing here?
Let me buy you something. What about the earrings?
- I think it's a set. - Look at the ring.
The price tag on it's $9135.
- I bet that bracelet's worth more than... - Hello. May I help you?
- How much is that? - Eighteen thousand.
- What about this one here? - Forty-seven five for the set.
- With tax or without? - Without tax.
Want a watch? Where's ladies' watches?
This counter right over here.
What are you doing?
- I'm getting you a watch. - I don't want a watch.
- Hi. - Hi. May I show you something?
- Can we see some ladies' watches? - Certainly.
- This entire counter, all ladies' watches. - How about your best one?
Best one? Is right here.
- That's all right. - Isn't that a lovely watch?
It's disgusting.
- Let's see this one here. - Certainly.
- I don't like those diamonds. - Let me put this back.
That's nice.
- How much is that? - That's $2000.
I can't wear that to work.
Better show us something less expensive. She has very simple tastes.
It's my upbringing. What can I tell you?
Here, let's try this one.
- How much is that one? - This one is $900.
That's pretty. What make is that?
Sir? Excuse me.
Where are you going?
I was just looking for your restroom.
I'm sorry, but we don't have a public restroom here.
There's a coffee shop two doors down. They'll allow you to use their facilities.
Thanks. Did you get what you wanted?
- I like this the best. - We'll have to think about it.
- Very well. - We'll be back.
- Thank you for coming in. - Bye-bye.
- Goodbye.
- Is there anything else to see upstairs? - No, those are the executive offices.
All right.
Look, this is Wilshire Boulevard right here, right?
All right. Here's the doors.
There's glass windows on either side, and they're tinted, Jerry.
From the outside, you cannot see in.
But inside, you can see all the action outside.
We didn't have that on the bank, right?
When I was in there, the lady showed me one case.
In one case, there was over 125 grand of ice there.
In one case?
What do you think?
I don't know.
Beverly Hills is rough, man. Scares the shit out of me, Beverly Hills.
Why's that?
I don't know. Well, how many cops they got there?
They got 100 cops in six square miles, you know.
That's, you know, 20 cops to the square mile, or whatever it is.
What's the response time? Three minutes?
- Three minutes? - What'd make you feel safe in there?
Fuck Beverly Hills. Fuck those cops, man. They're just cops.
They can't be faster than three minutes. Alarm goes off when we start sacking.
Let the alarm go.
Would you feel safe for a minute and a half?
Bob. I gotta get out of here, man.
They're waiting on me.
Tell the old lady that owns the house to sign this, not her mother, all right?
- All right. - Right up.
You know next week you don't have to do that?
- I wanna see you with nice clothes. - How much longer you gonna be?
- Yeah, I'll be there in a minute. - Okay.
Don't you wanna tan your face? You wanna live in that neighborhood?
Don't you want a new car?
You're a thief. Why don't you be a thief?
Did you like doing that bank?
Did you feel good doing that bank, holding that shotgun?
- Did you feel good working with me? - Yeah.
You wanna do it?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. What about a driver?
Mickey Barber, the other night, introduced me to a guy.
I knew his brother.
He said he's a good wheelman.
- How you doing? - Good.
- Jerry, Willy. - Hey, man, I've heard a lot about you.
Here. I'll get it for you.
Watch your feet.
- Who is that guy? - What?
- Is that the guy Mickey sent? - No.
- No? - It fell through.
- What do you mean? - Did you get the plates changed?
The car is one half-hour hot and the plates are changed. I did everything.
You should've told me. That was wrong. Do you hear me? That was wrong.
- Where are we going? - Keep going. We'll talk about it later.
- Right here? - Go straight toward it.
All right. Now, you're gonna back in that first spot there.
Go ahead. Take it easy.
Soon as you get in, I'll tell you what we're doing.
- Oh, shit, I'm sorry. - Take it easy, all right?
Okay, you see that door over there? We'll be out in a few minutes.
As soon as we're out, open both doors. We get in and split. You got it?
- Yeah. - How do you feel?
- Do I keep the car running? - Yeah. All right?
- I'm okay. - You ready to hit it?
- Yeah. - All right, let's go.
Just relax, man.
How do you feel?
Feel great. Except for that driver, man.
Don't worry about it.
- You should have told me about it. - All right, let's do this.
- How's the vibes? - Everything's all right.
- A lot of traffic, a lot of people. - I'd kiss you, but you're too ugly.
No, it's too yellow. Thank you.
Well, may I see the 10 mm, please?
Yes.
Well, yes, I like the pink...
- I need a 24-carat ring. - Well, we can order that. No problem.
What about...?
Pardon me. What are you doing?
Can you step back, please?
Do what you're told and you won't get hurt.
Get up against the wall! Face the wall!
Sorry, sir. Will you step back in there before you get shot?
- How do you feel? - Go ahead, get some.
- We've got a minute and a half. - Go on, there.
What's the time?
- What's the time? - One minute.
Get it all.
Twenty seconds to go.
Let's go.
- Let's go! Let's hit it. - We've got time.
Time's up! Let's go!
Hey. Hey, let's go, man.
Let's go, man. We've gotta get out of here.
There was another piece here.
I don't believe this, man. I really don't believe this.
- There's gonna be an army out there. - Where was it?
- I don't know. - There was a big piece here.
This is the last goddamn time, man. This is it.
The poker game was the same way, the driver, the whole goddamn thing.
This is it. It's all over.
You're a child, man. You act like a 2-year-old child, for chrissake.
I know you like a book.
This is the last goddamn time I'm working with you. I mean it.
What are you...? Get over there and sit down! Put your head down.
- What are you doing? - Where's the watch?
Hey, we gotta get out of here, man!
Hey! Hey!
- Listen to me! Listen to me. - Let go of that. All right, all right!
Give it to me, man.
- We're going. - Why don't you take a clock too?
This is the last goddamn time I'm working with you.
- Where is he? - Yeah, where is he?
Where is he? Was this part of your goddamn plan?
Who the fuck knows where he is?
You're pathetic. You're a pathetic fucking human being.
We gotta run. We gotta run. We gotta run.
Get rid of the shotgun!
Walk, walk, walk. Slow down and walk. Walk.
- Come on. - Are we going the right way?
The car's on the next street. Come on, we're all right.
Halt! Police!
- It's a great line. - We gotta go. Right now. Come on.
Excuse me, could you see this guy for me?
- Where's your car? - In the back.
- Where? Let's go. - In the back.
So I'll be back in a second. What's the matter?
- Where's your key? Where's your car? - Keep going. It's over there.
- Give me the key. - Just a sec.
- Where are we going? - Come on.
- What happened? - I'll tell you later.
What are you doing?
Max, please.
I gotta stop by and get some money from a friend.
Where are you, man? Willy?
Shit.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I'll fucking hurt your fucking ass.
Don't tell me "wait." I'm gonna put your fucking brains on that wall!
- Let me explain. - You knew I'd be back, didn't you?
Please let me explain to you what happened.
Go ahead, run it.
I had the car pointed the right way.
The motor was on.
I was watching my clock, I was watching the door.
The burglar alarm went off for five minutes.
That's bullshit, man.
- Max... - No, no. No, man, I would've been there.
I'm running because of you, sucker man.
That shit under the bed? I went to jail because of you.
I'm sorry.
Well, you know, sorry ain't shit now. You know why?
It don't mean nothing.
Come on, Max.
- Are you high? - No.
- Did you get high? - No.
Then I don't understand why you don't hear me.
I don't understand why you don't understand what I'm talking about.
Jerry's dead.
Just lying on the street, man.
And that hurts me, man, because he'd do anything for me.
He'd do anything for me.
If he was out in the car, man...
...there could have been a shitstorm, you know?
Max, I'm sorry.
I got scared.
I'm scared now.
You did the best you could, right?
- I really did. - I gave you every chance, too, didn't I?
It wasn't your fault.
It's over, Willy.
It's over, man. Forget it. I shouldn't have asked you to do it.
It was too heavy for you.
- I'm sorry. - It's all right. It's all right, man.
- What can I do? - Give me a big bear hug...
...and just forget it. - Okay.
I'm sorry.
- You were wrong, though, you know. - I know it.
I'm sorry.
Shit.
Did you get it?
- What? - The money.
Yeah.
Where's the freeway?
I don't know.
Well, we're going.
- All right? - Let's go. Yeah, let's go.
How you doing?
- Want me to drive? - No, I'm all right. Can I have one?
- This afternoon when a house trailer lost its brakes and ran into a schoolyard.
One man is dead and one wounded in a gunfight...
...following a jewelry store holdup in Beverly Hills earlier this afternoon.
The robbers, two in number...
...used hammers to break through the counters and display cases...
...in Gindel's, an exclusive Wilshire Boulevard shop.
Police arrived just as the robbers were making their getaway...
...and in the ensuing gun battle...
...one of the holdup men, Jerry Schue, age 48, of Burbank, was killed.
Also critically wounded in the shootout was Officer David Post...
...a two-year veteran of the force.
The second holdup man, who made good his escape...
...has not yet been identified...
...but police officials are currently assembling a detailed description...
...from eyewitnesses on the scene.
Look for another smoggy day tomorrow...
...according to the Air Quality Management District. Temperatures...
We didn't start the shooting.
- Would you pull over for a second? - Why?
Please pull over. I don't feel well.
- Wait'll we get to a gas station, will you? - I can't wait, Max.
Pull the fucking car over, goddamn it!
Max, don't you dare lay a fucking hand on me!
- What do you wanna do with this? - I got it.
- Can I help you? - Yeah.
Fill it up with regular and you better check the oil. I think that's all.
- Want something to drink? - Yeah.
Just get me a ginger ale. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
- Give us a ginger ale and a beer? - What kind of beer?
- It doesn't matter. We'll be over here. - Yeah. Anyway...
...he starts back to her at the door and I think he's not gonna say anything.
And he looks up at me with the football helmet...
...and he says, "Lady, I sure hope your team wins."
- Here we are, sir. Here you go. - Thank you.
- And can I get you something else? - No, that's okay.
I got some fine homemade chili for you.
- This'll do it. - All right. That'll be 90 cents.
I saw a sign outside. Is there a bus stop here?
Yeah. That would be the local Palmdale transportation.
It stops twice a day.
The schedule's kind of irregular, but... Where were you going?
- Where you kids going, honey? - L.A.
Oh, L.A. You take the Palmdale bus from here, as I say, and go into Palmdale.
- Make your connection to L.A. There. - What time does it get here?
You got about half an hour.
- I'll get your change. - Keep it.
Oh, thanks, yeah.
You sending me home?
Yeah, you are.
Please, Max, I don't want any money.
I want you to have it.
What are you gonna do?
Will you call me?
Gotta go.
Forgot my sweater.
Why can't I go with you?
Because I wanna get caught.
