All language subtitles for Breaking In (1989) REMUX.eng

Hey.

Hey.

I come to fix the tv.

Oh yeah, right, the tv.

Yeah, I forgot
all about that.

I was just coming
in to watch.

Uh, listen, uh,

we don't know if
it's the antenna

or the set itself.

I got held up
at the last place.

I'm not too late,
am I?

Late? No...

Nah, you're not late.

What,
it's only 8:00 or so.

It's kind of tough

working in the dark,
isn't it?

I couldn't find
the light switch.

Your father let me in
on the way out.

Oh. Oh, right, dad.
Yeah.

Well, listen, uh,
you just, uh,

you go ahead with
this thing here,

and, uh, I'll be
in the kitchen.

If you need anything,
just holler, ok?

Ooh... damn it.

Man, he's got
an axe in there.

That guy's a little...
He's some kind of psycho.

You and I are in
the same business, kid.

Monkey business.

They don't have
an antenna.

They're on cable.

You said antenna.

You should notice
things like that.

So what are you
after, kid?

You crashed this spot.

You must be after
something. What is it?

Nothing.
Just look around.

You know,
check the refrigerator,

maybe watch some tv,
read the mail.

What?

I don't steal anything.

I... I... I just, not like
money or anything.

I just...

Spare me what
you like to do.

Probably cream
in your jeans

when you climb
through a window.

A fuckin' whacko.

Hey, I don't
do anything weird.

Yeah, I get excited.
You know.

It's a real rush when you
first come through.

A doormat thief
would be one thing,

but a porch creeper.

How'd you know
that was there?

I know a few things.

Gimme that beer.

No shit?

No shit!

Man! I never met anybody
who did crime for a living.

I mean,
I had a cousin once

held up a gas station on his
bicycle, but he was nuts.

Runs in the family,

Hey, you with some
kind of organization?

Yeah, the northwest
homeowners association.

No...

I mean, like, uh,
the mafia, or, uh...

What is this,
meet the press?

So what are you doing
with that thing over there?

Keeps the plaster
dust down.

Bad sinuses.

Well, so how do you get
one of them things open?

Very delicate operation.

Oh, Jesus!

Ha ha ha! Jesus!

Oh, man.

Nice strong front.

It makes the sucker
who bought it happy.

But the back
is like a tin can.

Punch your way
right through it.

So what do you do
for a living, kid?

Besides raid iceboxes.

I work in this garage,
bob's tire and body.

11th and division,
southeast.

Yeah, you been there?

I know the city.

My name's mike.

Mike lefebb.
What's yours?

Know anybody else
here in town?

Uh, well, the guys
at work, I guess, uh...

Uh, my landlady.

But, uh, I haven't really had
a chance to make any friends.

Well, if you meet
any new friends,

don't tell them
you know me, huh?

Of course not.
What do you think I am?

I think you're
a fuckin' whacko

that goes creeping
around people's houses

for the thrill of it.

Uh, you need any help?

Just take that stuff
back in the kitchen.

Wipe down everything
you touched.

Don't worry about my prints.
Cops don't got 'em.

The way you operate,
the cops don't need 'em.

Go on,
get out of here

before you get me
in trouble.

Hey, what was
your name again?

Ernie.

Uh. Ernie what?

Ernie's enough.

Hey.

What did you do
upstairs?

Nothing.

Come on.

Well, I short-sheeted
the beds.

Whacko.

Hi. I'm mike lefebb.

This your car?

Did you buy it?

This is my car.

I bought it.

It has a flat tire.

Lefebb.

He's got a flat tire
over there.

No kiddin'.

Lefebb!

Yeah?

Phone call.

Don't take all day.

Hi.

Hi, ernie. Wh-what...
How you doing?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.
4th and what?

Yeah. 7:30 out in front.

Listen, do you want
me to bring my axe

or any of
the other tools?

Hey, don't get sore.
I don't know.

I mean, you know.
Ok, ok.

All right,
I'll see you. Bye.

Oh. That was
my uncle ernie.

He's going in
for his prostate.

He's kind of worried.

Just...

Nah,
I've been in town

a couple months,
now, you know.

Been up from
castorville, california.

Artichoke capital
of the world.

Yeah, you've been there?

I know the state.

What's this?

Your split from
the other night.

Jesus. That's a lot of
money in there.

It's $1,000.
I didn't do anything.

You were there.
Grand theft.

I'd rather have
a partner than a witness.

Does this make me
an accomplice?

You want to
give it back?

No, no.

No, I'll keep it.

You got larceny
in your blood, kid.

I knew that the first
time I saw you.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah, well I really enjoyed
helping you the other night.

Thank you.

If you ever need
an assistant.

Tonight.

Lookout.

Well, sure,
but I don't know...

Learn by doing.

Hey, kid.

Jesus! You shouldn't
creep up on me like that.

Did you do it?

I did what
I set out to do.

What did we get?

I set out to see if
you could follow orders,

if you had the right
kind of patience.

What are you
talking about?

I've been watching you
all night.

You don't think I'd go
on a real job

unless I checked
you out, do you?

Where you been
watching from?

Ringside seat
right over in the hotel.

I feel ridiculous.

You are ridiculous.

But you got potential.

You could work for me...
Maybe.

You come over to
the house about 4:00

on saturday afternoon,

unless you hear
from me first.

All right.

Better go home and get
about an hour's sleep.

You got all those
tires to wrassle with.

"Ernest mullins,
sculptor"?

We're right in
the flight path.

Has its advantages.

You do these?

Internal revenue has me
pegged as a sculptor.

And the neighbors don't ask
about all my tools.

Henry's or blitz?

I'll have a blitz.

Hey, these are
pretty good, you know?

I mean, you know,
for junk and all.

Right. I sold a couple
at the swap meet.

So?

So today mr. Wizard
teaches you

how to make grease.

Grease?

Liquid explosive.

Nitroglycerin.

Very shaky stuff.

So how come you moved
from new york?

What, the cops get wise?

Nah...

Things got too
organized for me.

Word gets around

you know how to
handle a safe,

and then one day

some guy with garlic
on his breath says,

"hi. I'm your
new partner."

Tells you when
you're gonna work,

where you're gonna work.

You're lucky if
you take home

20% of the score.

If I want a boss,

I'll pack it in
and go civilian.

Is that why you
moved out here?

I move around a lot
in this job.

You go where
the safes are.

Ah-choo!

It's all right.

It ain't grease yet.

You're gonna survive,
you got to adapt.

Now, you keep it
nice and stable.

Don't let it get a chill.

You want to keep it
at a nice even temperature.

Close to your body.

I've been scouting
the supermarket.

We're gonna
hit it tonight.

Tonight?
Tonight, for real?

For real.

All right.

Safe
is in the office.

Place like this,

the windows and
the doors are all taped.

So how do you figure
we should go in?

Through the roof?

Behind the fruit?

You're a hell of
a prospect, kid.

Hey, ernie.

What?

These pants legs
are a little long.

Well, let's go home.

No, no, no, no.
I'll roll them up.

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah, it's ok.

Ok.

Oh, god.
Back up the rope?

And get our
feet chewed?

Don't move.

Put your hands
in your pockets.

They like hands.

I think this dog

is using a little
psychology on us.

Let's say we take
a little walk.

You first.

This is illegal!

This is an
unfettered animal.

I'm telling you,

if he marks you
in any way,

we've got a hell
of a lawsuit.

I think he wants
to be friends.

Maybe he likes
distressed meat.

Door's on
a silent alarm.

We wouldn't even know
we tripped it

until we felt
the handcuffs.

So?

So, we'll go
through the wall.

Now, doggie...

I'm gonna
make a little hole

in the wall here.

What are you
gonna do?

I think this dog

has a little larceny
in his blood,

just like you, kid.

Old square door.

Can you handle it?

I could sneeze
and pop it open.

But... there's
educational value.

Hey, look at this.

"Meg, debbie, and john."

Looks like debbie just
graduated from high school.

Maybe it's meg.
I'm not sure.

John's the dad...

Hey, I don't want to know.
I don't want to know names.

Put that down. Get over here
and pay attention.

I'm risking 20 years
by using nitro on this box.

I'm trying to
teach you something.

I'm giving you
an exclusive education.

Ok, ok.

We're gonna have to pop
this box twice, all right?

The first funnel
we'll put right here.

Grease runs down this way,
around here,

hopefully gets
the first bar,

give us a little crease
for the second one.

Second funnel here,

grease runs down
through here,

takes the door out
with the rest of the bars.

And that's it.

That's it.

That's it.

I kind of felt safer
on the roof, you know.

At least you could run.

I feel safer down here.

Maybe that's good,
keep each other sharp.

Yeah. Yeah.

Right.

Ok. You go up,
wait 5 minutes,

give it a yank.

3 more minutes
for the second pop.

One last look around,
anything bad's coming,

you yank like hell
and get out of there.

What about the dog?

He's enjoying himself.

See how he takes
the fireworks, huh?

Sure hope to hell
this works.

Hey.

No negative thinking
on the job.

Right.

Good luck.

Yeah.

Ah-choo!

Hey. Good doggie.

Good dog.

Ah-choo!

Hey, ern.
This dog...

Has this dog been here
with you the whole time?

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Where'd you get
that apple?

Out there.

Next time you want
an apple, you buy it.

Yeah, ok.

What did you say
about the dog?

Nothing. Nothing.

Hey, this is
a hell of a time

to get a conscience, doggie.

Hey, ernie?

If we ever
do this again...

I'm a size 42 short
in coveralls.

Ha ha. Ok, kid.

I'll remember that.

2 fuckin' dogs...
Can you believe that?

Blue clown. Blue clown
is out in front.

I told you you should
have bet on blue clown.

Well, I don't
see the point.

Look, we got
a lot of cash

to get rid of here,
kid.

We lose it here,

it just disappears,
it's anonymous.

My god, you gamble
all your money away?

I figure out
my overhead

for the next
6 months, see?

No matter how bad
the horses treat me,

I don't touch that.

The rest
I have fun with.

This is fun?

Son of a bitch!

Look at that.

He's holding
the horse back.

He's mugging
his own mount.

See, I would have lost.

Yeah, but you
would have had fun.

I got to pee.
You want anything?

I'll have another beer.

Listen, can we have,
uh, fun somewhere

where they have real horses?

We're living in
an electronic age, kid.

Don't forget that.

The horses
are now in the paddock

for the fifth race
from st. Louis.

3...

One.

One.

Cards?

Uh, none.

No. No, 5.

5.

Dealer takes none.

How about
mike the spike?

The spike?

What does that
mean?

Who knows?
It rhymes.

So does kike.

You'll have to do
better than that.

I don't see why I need
to have a nickname.

'Cause you need
to have one,

that's why.
Without a moniker,

how people gonna
know who you are?

$1.00.

Yeah, but I thought
the whole idea

was to not attract
any attention?

Oh, that's just ernie.

I'll see you a buck.

See, he's always
been a hermit.

The only reason
he got known at all

was on account of red.

Red? Who's red?

Well, he used
to be my partner.

Very flashy guy.

Yeah, that was
a real shame...

A heart attack.

He drank like a fish,
he smoked 3 packs a day,

and he chased after
bad women. Now come on.

He wasn't a serious person.

What are you gonna do?

Oh, uh, I'll just...
I'll pass.

Ok, uh...

Here's your buck.
I bump you 5.

So where you from, kid?

Castorville.

The artichoke kid.

That's already
been used.

Don't you remember?

Fella out of detroit
liked to eat 'em.

You can't
remember that?

Yeah, but he's dead.

It's disrespectful.

I'll see your 5,

and I'll raise it 5.

Well, I'm gonna fold.

Here's your 5...
5 more.

Well?

What'd you used
to do, kid?

Same thing
he does now...

He works on cars.
Come on.

Tires.

I work with tires.

That's it...
The firestone kid!

Where the rubber
meets the road.

I like it.

It's yours,
firestone.

5 bucks...

I call you.
One buck.

What do you got?

3 big ones.

3 jacks... 3 jacks...

You're killing me,
ernie.

You're really
killing me.

You owe me a buck.

Those two guys
used to be tops.

Ah, bad habits.

I've seen more guys
blow their careers

because they couldn't
control their bad habits.

Like what?

Clothes, jewelry,

fancy cars.

Some guys hit
the booze, drugs.

Pretty soon,
they're hustling

just to make
their daily rations.

They get greedy, huh?

That's right.

Some guys, it's women.

You got a girl?

Oh, no. No, you know,

I've only been in town
a couple of months.

Just as well.

Tie yourself up
to a straight jane,

and pretty soon
you're answering

a lot of stupid questions.

Oh, uh, it's a long trip
back on that bus.

If you want to sack out
here, you can.

Uh, no, you know,

I just... I really
wanna get home.

I ain't queer.

Put your mind at ease.

Wow, man, I wasn't
even thinking that.

Oh, come on, I read you
like a book, kid.

Got a couple of blankets
in here for ya.

Well, it is
kind of late.

Thanks.

Some guys it's booze,
some guys it's women,

and some guys it's drugs.

Some guys even need
to have an audience.

Come to think of it,

maybe it is time

for us to have
a little entertainment.

So who are these girls?

Nervous?

Well, you know,
I like to know

what I'm getting into.

Get into the sack
if you're lucky.

So, uh, so you've
known your girl

a long time now?

I've known delphine
about a year.

Never met your girl.

Yeah? What's her name?

Carrie.

Carrie...

And, um, delphine
and carrie, they're...

About the same age?

Same age as what?

Same age as me?

Yeah. How old are they?

Hi, baby.

Hi, carrie.

It's not carrie,
it's fontane.

I've taken
a stage name.

Oh, I thought...

Oh, I'm mike lefebb.

How are you doing?

So you're an actress?

It's what
she calls herself.

Well, I'm an actress
and a model.

Yeah? Done
any movies?

I'm not at the performance
level just yet.

I'm still developing
my instrument.

So you're a musician,
too, huh?

Pardon me, sir.

Your salad.

There you are.

We'll have a bottle
of house chianti.

Certainly.

What is all this stuff?
We didn't order it.

They keep bringing
the stuff, kid,

then you order
from the entrees.

It's called
family-style.

Not my family.

Hey, ernie, can I just
have a cold beer?

No. We're having
wine, kid. Wine.

Wine. Yeah.

Come on, now,

tell me what you
really do for a living,

because I don't see you
selling insurance at all.

No?

Honey, that ain't
none of your business.

I'm a night worker.

I'm a, uh,

currency relocator.

Mikey,
what do you do?

I work in
a tire and body shop.

He does!

He does!
Ah ha ha...

Yeah,
that's what I do.

Uh, uh, if you ever have
a flat, come to me.

A flat?

Carrie, honey...

I think we'd better
go to the powder room.

The what?

The can, the can.

Why?

I don't know.

Oh, excuse me.

We ought to go
to the can, too.

No, I'm ok.

Oh, if I had
your kidneys,

I'd have conquered
europe. Come on.

I don't see what's
wrong with asking

a person's occupation.

So how do you
like her, kid?

Oh, she is hot.

Think she likes me?

Oh yeah. I think
you're gonna grow on her.

What are you doing?

I got bad knees, kid.

Too much crawling around
in the dark, you know?

Lousy circulation.

The knees are
the second thing to go.

What's the first?

I can't remember.

You're having
a good time tonight,

aren't you?

Oh, yeah.

Boy, that del,

she's... she's a handful,
you know.

You gotta be
ready for her.

You get out of life
what you put into it, kid.

Remember that.

Yeah. I'll
remember that.

Here we go.

Entre vous.

My god, you were
telling the truth

about those
sculptures.

The man's an artist,
honey.

Hope you don't mind,
kid,

but I took
the liberty

of making
the guest bed there.

Now, if you
need anything,

just grope around
until you find it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Have a good time.

So...

What... what's your
favorite color?

Uh... you know, I never
really thought about that.

It's probably green.

You know, 'cause I got
a lot of green shirts

and socks and things.

How about you?
You have a favorite color?

Well, I... I can't tell
the difference.

They all feel
the same to me.

Kind of.

Green!

Here's green.

Is the kid smart?

Sometimes it's good
to have a partner.

Yeah.

As long as he doesn't
turn out like old red.

Yeah.

You gotta be careful

once you start getting
involved with people.

That's when
the trouble starts.

Did you ever
have a partner?

Nah.

Gosh, you were fabulous.
I... I...

You were great.
You were...

I don't know what to say.
Thank you.

You're welcome.

You know, when
I was in high school,

I never...
I never imagined,

I mean, a girl as pretty
as you, that, uh...

Were you ever a cheerleader?

Because if you were
a cheerleader, then I...

No, but did you
want me to be one?

No...

Because you should've
said something,

'cause I can...

I could do that
right now if you want.

I could get
some things.

No. You're prettier than
any cheerleader, anyway.

Yeah?

Yeah.

If nobody wants
the rest of these eggs,

I'm gonna eat them.

No, you go ahead.

Breakfast should be
the biggest meal of the day

because it's fuel,
not fat.

I'm not usually out of bed
in time for breakfast.

Well, then,
call it lunch.

That sounds like
your chariot, girls.

Uh, do you want
to hang out with me

a little bit today?

No.

We gotta get going.

I gotta get going.

Here you go, baby.

Cab fare's inside.

I had a lovely time.

Good. Take care of
del for me.

I take care of my own
evil self, ernie.

You know that.

Bye, mikey.

Bye.

You paid them,
didn't you?

Yep.

Don't worry,
it's on me.

I thought it was
a regular date.

I thought
she liked me.

She did like you.

She said she liked you.

Well, then maybe
she didn't want pay.

I mean,
I never paid before.

Yes, you did.

In one form or another,
you did. Trust me.

Yeah, well,

doesn't it make you
feel like...

I don't know,

doesn't it make you
feel...

I'm 61 years old.

Every once in a while,
I feel good, you know?

The blood is circulating.
I want to get laid.

Yeah, but hookers?

25-year-old hookers,
might I add.

You want one my age?

It'd be a hell of
a lot cheaper.

I've been seeing del now
for about a year.

She's real sharp.

There's never any hassles.

It ain't love, kid,
but it's as close

as you and I
are ever gonna get.

They sell
flowers in the street,

umbrellas when it rains.

When the sun comes out,
they sell ice cream.

They got it covered.

And they don't pay
no taxes.

It's a charity status.

Bastards.

They're under
investigation,

so I figure they're
holding a lot of cash

out of the bank.

Fuckin' protestants.

That stuff
gives me the creeps.

Now's a good time
to get nervous.

May I help you?

Uh, yeah.

This dude I ran into
down the road

said that
if I didn't have

any place to stay,
I could crash here.

There's no drugs
or weapons allowed

on the premises.

Well, I don't have any.
You want to check?

Your word is all we ask.

Welcome to
faith house northwest.

Thank you.

Do you like singing?

Do you have any family?

Mm, no, not really.

Just a mother, father,
and a sister.

Well, this is
my family now.

This is a place

where people come
to belong, you know?

We're all brothers
and sisters here.

Hey.

Good night,
michael.

Oh, good night, uh,
good night, david.

Good night, michael.

Uh, yeah,
good night, steve.

This isn't steve.
It's paul.

Oh. Sorry.
Good night, paul.

This is
steve, michael.

Good night.

Yeah, good night.

Good night.
Good night, everybody.

It's inspirational,
kid.

Inspirational!

The man's an artist.

Adapt and survive.

Adapt and survive!

Adapt and survive...

I can't believe it.

Here I am out in
the broad daylight thieving.

You're changing
my life, kid.

You're bringing me
out of myself!

I don't like it,
I don't like it.

This place is different
than the last time.

When the door
opens, go.

Pest control.

You got the notice.

Gonna do the whole block
starting in your cellar.

I don't know...

You see, it's very
awkward today, gentlemen.

It's open day.

We've had a fabulous week
of collecting,

and we just
wanted to celebrate.

Yeah.

Yeah, maybe we
could come back.

No, no, we're gonna stick
to the schedule, kid.

Here we go.

Watch your step.

Watch your step.

It's gonna be about
15 minutes.

After we leave,

that's when
the roaches die.

We don't have
any roaches.

See? We were here
about 2 years ago.

Doesn't do anything to wax,
does it... your gas?

Wax?

Yeah, we've got our
candleworks down here.

No problem.

Might be a little tough
on your lungs, though,

so you better keep
that door shut tight.

Oh, sure.

Hey, ernie, are we
doing the right thing?

No. We're doing
the wrong thing, kid.

We're thieves, remember?

Now, the first
thing we do...

A hitch.
What are you doing?

Huh! How'd you know
how to do that?

It happens a lot.

They don't want to run through
the whole combination

every time there's
a money drop.

So they don't spin the dial
when they close the door.

They leave it
on the hitcher.

So we don't have to
haul it out of here, huh?

Oh... not so lucky, kid.

Keister in there.

It's a fireproof
compartment.

My guess is that's where
all the serious money is.

Well... gotta take it home.

Never kidnapped
a safe that big before.

Let's sit here
just a minute.

If you see any roaches,
squash them.

Try a little
people repellent.

God, that's awful.

That's the point, kid.
That's exactly the point.

Hey, you need a hand there?

Here, boys,
let's give them a hand.

No. No, thanks.

Kind of a knack
to it.

Let's get
this thing out...

Get her down there...

If it's all
the same to you,

we'll just...

Thanks anyway.

We could've managed.
We lift

these kind of things
all the time.

You'll be free
of roaches

for the next
couple of years now.

I'd stay out of
the cellar

for about
5 or 6 hours.

Thanks for
everything.

I don't want
those old folks

breathing those fumes.

Sit on the silver
for a while.

They'll be
on the lookout

for anybody
changing a lot of coins.

Nothing but 5s
and singles in here.

What are you doing?

It's time for you
to have a little

on the job training.

Open it up.

Huh. What, right now?

Yeah. There's a two
in an hour.

United in
an hour, 10.

I'd open it then.

Well... well,
what are you gonna do?

Get everything
that's valuable

and explosive,

and get the hell
out of here.

Whoa. What about all
the money in the keister?

I trust you.

Trust the keister more.

She's on her way.

Ready...

Remember what I said
about the grease, now.

Moderation at all times.

Did you see that?

It blew the door right off!

Holy mo...! Ha ha ha!

Oh, yeah!

Little too much,

Well, just a little,
yeah.

Jesus!

We learn by doing.

Did you see that?

Well, I think you
might have helped us

get the keister out.

Yeah, well,
I planned it.

Oh, man,
that was great!

That was great.

What do we got?

What we got is...

The reverend's
retirement fund.

Oh, yeah.

In 20s and 50s
and 100s.

How come all
the big bills?

You ever try to hide
$40,000 in nickels?

Is it feasible
that criminals

would deliberately
set out to steal money

from the outstretched hands
of the poor and homeless?

Did they know that faith house
northwest was the nerve center

of the city-wide
collection campaign?

20s and 50s
in a collection can? Ha ha!

Must be really tough
to be homeless.

We hit a spot,
not a person.

You start thinking about
who you're stealing from,

you might as well pack it in
and become a social worker.

...a lot of people
want the answer to tonight.

Today's robbery
is a bitter blow to...

It's just hype!

So they can go back out
on the street tomorrow

and rattle their cans
some more.

...this major campaign
against homelessness

in the metropolitan area.

Look, I need the money!

Disappointed officials
say that plans for the new

40-bed relief shelter
will have to be scrapped.

At least until some more money
can be raised...

If it bothers you
so much,

tomorrow,
you take your half

and go out and stuff it
in the collection can.

I wouldn't take any of those
50s if I were you, though,

'cause they weren't headed for
the outstretched hands

of the poor.

Half?

Yeah, half.

Equal risk, equal pay.

Half?

Yeah.

Don't go crazy,
though, huh?

And I'm gonna get
the hard-top, too,

'cause the winters
here are pretty bad.

You know,
in an alfa romeo,

it only takes
about 5 minutes

to put the rag top
on in the summer.

I'm gonna get
webber carbs,

dual exhaust.

Gonna get it fully
loaded, you know.

Lefebb!

I think you're being
paged, sonny.

What?

Get over here.
I got a job for you.

Well, I'm still
on my lunch break.

You better
hop to it, son.

I need it done now.

Lady needs her
tires rotated.

Why don't you
do it?

Why don't I do what,
lefebb?

Rotate.

You finish those tires,
you see me in my office.

Well, I'll get to it
after lunch.

I got 10 minutes
left.

You're fired,
lefebb.

Bud, you take care
of the lady.

Alfa romeo, my ass...

Bud, you get in here!

You dumb-ass kid.

Dumb.
You had a paycheck!

You were a regular,
you had a number!

Now you're just a bum.

A bum with
too much cash.

Go on, get out
of here, get lost.

Go to the
unemployment office.

Get a job.
Get a number.

Get some discipline.

Otherwise,
we're through!

Hi, mike.
Hey.

Hi, mike.
Hi.

Friends of yours?

Nah, I just eat
there a lot.

It's down here?

Yeah.

Basement apartment.

Come on.

Come on.

It kind of smells like
a cat box in here.

Come in.
Come on in.

Oh, I got to have
this one.

Oh, yeah, ok.

Well, it's...
Yeah, it's fine.

It's fine.

Hey, mike!

Come here with the money!

Money?

Oh, I love this car!

Mike, I think we should
get this one.

Look how beautiful.

Kind of funny,
mike, but...

Kind of matches all
the wigs we got today.

So beautiful.

Look. Look, mike!

Yeah, well, don't
you think it's, uh...

You know...

A little showy?

Oh, and that
road rocket isn't?

This is classy.

This is elegant.
This is a great car.

Just imagine
how great it would be,

driving around town
with me in it.

I mean, this car's
just so big and long

and beautiful.

I love this car, mike.

Look, see how we match?

See?

Yeah.

Oh, I love this car...

This big car...

Please, mike?

You like this car?

Yeah.

We'll get this
car.

You sound just like
a kitty cat.

That's so you can
hear me coming, mike.

Get a blue one, ok?

I think I'm really

beginning to tell
the difference.

Ok.
Ok.

Mike, I want to
read you my poem.

Ok?

Well,
in a minute, huh?

Mike, i...
I wrote this one,

and I could've been
thinking about you,

you know,
when I wrote it.

Well, ok. Ok.

Ok, let's hear it.

Ok.

Ok.

It's called, um,
what would I do?

"What would I do with
your balls were they mine?

"Would I hang them
by their short hairs

"from my long painted nails

"and crack a grin
as they dropped,

"sput, sput,
on the floor?

"No, I wouldn't do that
with your balls were they mine,

"but I'd put them instead
in some sort of shrine.

"I'd fondle them daily,
but keep them in line,

"and give them a licking
from time to time.

"Yes, that's what I'd do
with your balls

were they mine."

Oh, god, it's del.

It's my lesson.

Get dressed.

Carrie?

You home, honey?

It's class time.

That's all right,
honey.

Nothing wrong with
a little homework.

Check it out.

Whoo-hoo!

I wonder where
the ladies are.

Sleep tight.

There's 24-hour
security in the building.

Use of the laundry facilities,
parking, recreation room...

That's all included
in the monthly rental.

If you could use some time
to think about it...

Oh, no, no,
I'm just about there.

Uh, mr. Withrow...

Mr. Withrow, mr. Lefebb
is going to rent 23b,

and he'd like to make his
initial payment with cash.

I thought it best if you
witnessed the transaction.

Sure.

2...

3...

And 4...

Thousand...
And, let me see...

4,500 bucks.

The uh, utilities
deposit is $500?

$500?

Ok.

5. There you go.

Thank you.

Well, I guess
you'd like a receipt

for that amount of money.

Receipt. Yeah,
yeah, good idea.

Aah! Shit!

You can't play this game
with just one club.

Well, I can't play
this game, period.

So why carry all
that iron around?

Do you always come
out here this early?

I mean,
you can get another

3 hours in bed

and still miss
the crowds.

Got my eye on a 1932 chub
up there in the clubhouse.

You ever
take a vacation?

Keep a lot of possible
marks in my mind.

In case I need
some cash in a hurry.

Me and old red almost
got lagged once.

Bought our way
out of it.

We hit 6 places
in 3 nights.

Of course,
we had it all planned

well in advance.

Sounds like a wonderful
guy, your red.

Nah. That red,
he was a handful.

Just like you.

Yeah, well,
I guess red and me

just can't
make the grade, huh?

I heard you
bought a car.

Yeah.

It's a real worry, though.

I keep thinking somebody's
gonna rip it off.

Possessions weigh you down.

Get rid of it.

No.

What?

No.

You might as well wear
a sign around your neck...

"I am a thief!"

I told you to
sit on your money.

Well, what good is
having all that money

if you can't spend it, huh?

I do all right.

What do you
want me to do...

Buy a little box
down by the airport,

settle down, play cards
with old folks like you?

1932 chub. That's you.

An old man dickin'
around with old safes.

You act like that
and you're excess baggage.

Now, get rid of it
or get out.

That's final.

You need me.

I don't need nobody.

Son of a bitch!

Did you see that?
A hole in one!

Hey!

Hey, I need a witness!
I got a hole in one!

Where are you, kid,
when I need you?

55 years old,

corporation lawyer
from new york,

staying at
the river palace.

Oh, ok,
the river palace.

I've gotta look...

Really great to get
through the lobby there,

so, um, I wear my
gold dress with the bow,

and, um, and...
He's a lawyer,

so I tell him
I'm just 18.

They like that.

Ooh, mr. Trick,

what is that
you're doing to me?

That's too much
eye shadow, honey.

You're not twitching your butt
down by the docks, girl.

This
is ridiculous.

I can't believe
I'm doing this.

Don't be mean.

Yeah, well, you don't
have to do it, you know.

I mean, come stay
with me. I got money.

I got tons of money.

I got money for
both of us.

No! You see,

I gotta make it
on my own, mike.

If I don't do that,

I could never
hold my head up.

And besides,
this stuff I do

doesn't mean anything.

It's just my body
doing it.

Just your body?

I mean, I care about
your body.

That's
the whole point.

Oh, yeah? So you
don't care about me.

Yeah, I care about you.
You and your body.

That's one and
the same thing.

No, they're not!
Not to me!

I can't handle this.
I can't even drive.

Oh, please.
Mike, I'm late.

I am not
your pimp, ok?

Now, you either...

You either come
home with me,

or you just walk
the streets. That's it.

Yeah, del was
right about you.

You're a waste of time.

Oh, man...

Carrie, come back here
and talk to me, would ya?

Fuck off!
Carrie!

I'm sorry!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Is this cash or charge?

Uh, cash.

Is that ok?

Sure.

Are you cutting metal?

Uh... yeah.

Well, would you
like these filled?

We sell
the tanks empty.

Oh, yeah, definitely.

Oxyacetylene fill on 6.
Oxyacetylene fill on 6.

Great.

Stupid.

Great.

Think they'd
notice that one.

Really burned.

Hey, lou?

Bud... will you
look at this?!

Like it?

Whose is that?

Well, this is mine.

That ain't no
white man's car.

Shoot, it ain't no
black man's car, either.

What about the alfa?

Well, uh, you know,

they didn't have any
until august,

so, you know,

I bought this one
instead.

It's pretty cool,

You guys want
to take a ride?

No thanks, sonny.

We'd only get the seats
all dirty and greasy.

Hey.

Where's the safe?

We're
skating on it.

Right beneath us,
in the basement.

Fourth of july coming up,
4-day weekend.

All that cash down there,
just waiting for us.

How much is that?

20,000 people a day,

3 dollars a head,
for 4 days,

plus everything
they spend in here...

You figure it out.

It's a major event
in the world of cash.

You take me

to the greatest
places, ern.

What would I do
without you?

Come on.

No, I mean it.

Just take you where
the people hang out,

that's all.

So when do we do it?

Well, they got
security guys, see,

so we can't do it
when it's quiet.

So I figure we'll do it
when it's noisy.

Noisy?

Fourth of july,

in an hour of
fireworks show,

right out there
on the river.

Beautiful,
ain't it?

Good.

Keeping the goods
in a cannonball.

The highest insurance
rating there is.

Isn't one pete man
in a thousand

that'll touch it.

We're gonna have to
drill it, shoot it

maybe 2, 3 times
just to get it open.

3 times?

Yep.

Anyway, tomorrow,

we're gonna
concentrate on

one of your skills.

I got the perfect
job for you.

That's all
for tonight, folks.

The rink is closing now

for the commencement of
the fireworks display.

Enjoy the rest
of the evening.

Attention, please.

Will you make your way
to the riverside park,

ladies and gentlemen.

The fireworks display
will begin in 15 minutes.

Thank you.

I'm not going to
break you.

Hey, cutie pie,

come over here
and try your luck.

Not with me,
with the target!

That's right.
Come on over here...

Kid.

I don't get it.

I don't get it.
It's just too easy.

No doors,
no alarms... what?

That's the point.

You don't have to put
a cannonball safe behind bars.

How'd you
know about it?

Old-timer I was
in the joint with.

He knew the guy that
installed it in 1904.

I've been waiting years

for the fourth of july
to land on a weekend.

And a partner?

And a partner helps, too.

What's the time?

We got 11 minutes.

Ok.
What do we do first?

Check the hitch.

Right... go.

Hey, ernie?

Something wrong here.

What?

It's opening.

Mother of god.

Shit!

Put it back,
put it back!

Put on the hitch!

Did you leave
the stairway light on?

Yeah, I guess so.

It's funny.

What's that?

Well, the lights.

Well, what about them?

When we left here
an hour ago,

I put the switch down
to put them off.

And this time, when
we came back in,

I put the switch
down to put them on.

Well...

You gonna watch
the fireworks tonight?

I don't know.

I can't make up
my mind.

What else
could you do?

Well...

We could go to the
baked potato stand.

That's still open.

Yeah.

And then we could go
see the fireworks.

Yeah.

Or... go back
to the office.

I don't know.

Well, why don't we

go get the baked
potato first,

and then we could
think about it.

Yeah. Yeah,
good idea.

And don't leave it
on the hitch this time.

Spin it all the way.

We won't be back tonight.

What about the cash
at the riverside cafe?

Everything else is going
to the manager's office.

Won't be but a few thousand.

Right.

Jesus christ,

what a boring
son of a bitch!

God! I hope
he chokes to death

on that fucking
baked potato!

My idea of hell would
be a 5-year stretch

in a little tiny cell

with a piss-for-brains
like that.

I'd get so crazy, I'd
kill that shit-for-brains!

Look at the bright side.

They just dumped
$40,000 more in there.

Yeah.

Ok... 3 locks.

Yeah, the relock.

We gotta go through
the plate ivory lock.

Yeah, looks like
the relock's

a little lower
than we thought.

We'll have to drop the
charge on a longer wire.

What about them dials?

Take 'em all off
at once, or what?

No, we blow the first one,
then hit the second one...

Kids.

We can't pop anything
with those kids up there.

What do we do?

Hey.

What are you kids
doing here?

The rink is closed.

We got locked in!

Sure you did.

There's a fire door
over there by the lockers.

Close it on the way out.

Vamoose!

What?

Get out!

Ah-choo!

It ain't the dust
that makes you sneeze.

It's all that
good money.

Clean it out.

Think anybody
heard?

I don't give a shit.

You got to develop
pete man's nerves, kid.

Once you open a can,
you gotta stick with it.

I just had
a deja vu.

Yeah?

You said that
before.

You know, we did
this before.

I hope to hell
we do it again.

Makes me nervous
leaving this here.

You got
a better idea?

I'll feel safer
tomorrow.

You got the number,
right?

Yep. Tattooed
on my brain.

What was it?

Come on, kid,
what is it?

5-double 5-30-34.

Trust me
with the money?

Yeah, of course I do.

I guess you do.

Yeah.

You hang on to
your job, now.

The cops will be checking
the rosters around here.

Yeah, I'll be good.

So I'll
see you when?

Yeah, I'll see you.

No... when, when?

Oh, 6 weeks from now,
on the 15th.

Check out
the whiz-bangs.

Hey, uh... You trust
me with the money?

Yeah... I do.

23b?

That's right.
But listen...

We phoned
over a month ago.

Yeah, we work
through the calls.

That's how
we operate.

So he paid
in cash, huh?

Yes, nearly 5,000.

All kinds
of dirty bills.

That's not against
the law yet.

Just never happened
here before.

Anyway, he's creepy.

Probably some little punk
dealer up from california.

Want to leave it
for the drug squad?

Nah, we're here.

There's nobody home.
You got a pass-key?

You got a warrant?

One each.

I'll fetch it.

Want to bust it?
Nah.

I got a trick.

Yeah?

Elegant!

We got a can-opening
kit in here.

Company paychecks...
Garbage company...

Last week
and the week before.

Look at this.

These prizes are
getting a lot better.

Most of these bills
are scorched.

Ok, get him in.

What's your problem
back there?

Nothing! I'm hurrying!
Keep your pants on!

What, are you
smelling that shit

before you
dump it on the truck?

Let's get out of here!

Yeah, ernie, it's mike.
He just took off.

Yeah, perez.
It's in the open truck,

it's blue and white,
number 3.

Ok. So long.

You won't find anything
in the bags, friend!

It's the loose items
that's valuable!

Thanks.

Well, it looks like
a straight conviction

on this bowling alley
thing, mike.

We got the money,
we got the prints.

Nothing we can do
about that.

Ted, this is mike.
Mike, ted.

Hi, mike.

Hi, ted.

How are things
going?

Well, mike's
going to tell us

about his partner,
and we're going to see

what we can do
to ease him out...

Look, I already
told you,

I don't have
a partner.

I work alone.

They call me
the firestone kid.

Who does?

You know, people.

Ok, mike, we'll, uh...

Process what we have, but...

Think about it.

I don't want to scare you,

but with that
faith house thing

and a wrong jury,

you're looking
at 10, 12...

Pig, you're dead!

You're dead,
you hear me? That's it!

Mike?
Yeah.

I'm vincent tucci.
I'm your lawyer.

I don't have a lawyer.
I didn't...

Ernie sent me.

Is he here...
Is he in or out?

He's out. They got
nothing on him...

Except you.

That's good.

Anyway, ernie
told me to tell you

that if you want
to throw him in

for a deal...

He'll understand.

Yeah, what would
that get me?

To be honest
with you, for ernie,

you could walk
on it.

You wouldn't do any
time in jail. Nothing.

Yeah, well,
what about ernie?

Ernie? Ernie's
not a young guy.

He'd probably spend

the rest of his life
inside.

Anyway, he's not
asking for anything.

I'm just telling you
what the situation is.

I'm telling you...
The way things are.

The cops said that
I'll be doing 12 years.

That's a lot...
A lot of time, man.

That's because
of the explosives.

But don't worry
about it. You see...

They give you 10,
you do 6.

They give you 5,
you do 2.

It's logarithmic.
It's...

Anyway, we got
a long way to go.

We're just starting
out here, mike.

In fact, I haven't...

I haven't spoken to
ernie about this yet,

but I think...

That if we give them
a few things,

if we give them
a few more things,

if we let them close
a few more files,

then... we might
be able to chip away

at the time
a little bit.

You mean, if I tell them
about other jobs,

I'll get less time?

Exactly! That's
exactly right!

That's the way
they like things!

They like their things
neat and tidy.

In fact,
let me talk...

I'm gonna talk
to ernie about this.

Let me speak
to him about it.

Once he's inside,
I could have him warned,

I could have him
scared,

you know, bum-busted,
worked over,

I could have him killed,

you name it.

I want him looked after.
I want him protected.

Oh, I get it.

He's your little friend,
your little pal?

Well, it'll
cost you a load.

That comes high.

Whatever it costs.

Just get the word out...

Hands off.

Ok, uh,
corno's market.

Um... ellis hotel.

Bruno v... Vi...
Viv... Va...

Viv... viv...
Viv...

Vivaldi.

Oh, yeah.

Bruno vivaldi's
restaurant.

You can rob it,
but you can't say it?

Yeah, that's right.

Ok, uh, the private home
of mr. Gee Wilson.

That's spelled
g-e-e. It's gee Wilson.

I know. Ok, uh,
paris cinema.

That was over
a year ago.

You didn't live
here then.

Uh, yeah.

Well, you know,
I just came up here

to check out the city,
you know,

see if I wanted
to live here.

I did it then.

Ok, uh...

If your client is so
keen to cooperate,

will he tell us
where the money is?

I'll ask him.

Well, I put the money in
4 heavy-duty garbage bags.

Heftys, brown ones,
4 of 'em.

And, uh...

I put them
in the river,

and I tied the 4 bags
to a piling.

Where?

Near the amusement park.

I could show you
exactly where.

Oh, do you expect the money
to be there still?

Gee, I don't know.

I mean, I was going
to pick them up

the day after the job.

But... should we
take a look?

I don't know.
I mean, you know,

with the currents
and everything...

You know, you might find
a piece of rope.

You know, vincent...

I sometimes get very
frustrated in this job.

Right now,
I'm watching 30 to 40%

of the 2- and 3-year
felonies

walking scot-free
out of here because...

We don't have anyplace
to lock 'em up!

But then...

Every now and then,

somebody comes in
and I say to myself,

"dick, this one
is doing time."

I don't know
what it is.

I just
look at a face,

I read the sheet,
and I say,

"this one's
not walking!"

Yeah, but he's advised
you on the recovery

of the money, dick.

You don't admit that!

You don't... you don't
respond to that.

I'm gonna lock him up!

Vincent, vincent.

You done very well
by him.

But I think
we're getting near

the end of the game.

I just think...
He ought to be protected

from the risk of
doing heavy time.

And I think

you ought to count
your blessings

that I don't throw
the faith house job

in there, too,

which is where
it belongs, right?

Right.

I tell you what.

Here...

Do you have your pen?
Yeah, of course you do.

Why don't you write down

how much time you think
he should do there.

I'm going to do
the same.

Then we're going to
exchange sheets.

I think
you're going to see

that we're not
too far off.

No, no. We do this
at budget meetings,

and it works.

Come on.

Oh, please!

Well...

We better
have lunch.

No matter what happens in court
over the coming days,

the name of michael lefebb

is definitely headed
for the record books.

Experts we have talked to
have expressed amazement

at the level of knowledge
and skill

evident in the work
of someone so young,

who claims to have taught
himself by reading books

in his local library...

You little monkey!

You stole
my entire fucking career.

I don't even exist.

I'm invisible.

...the career of this
precocious young criminal.

I, uh...

I deeply regret
having used

my skills
and my talents

in such
an antisocial manner.

And, um, that, um,

in my future life,

I intend to use
these skills

and my talents

and my other
god-given gifts

in pursuit of
more positive

and worthwhile goals

for the benefit
of... Of mankind.

Well...

On behalf of mankind,

I'd like to thank you
for that, mr. Lefebb.

Uh, sure.

In anticipation
of your good works,

we will collectively
hold our breath for...

9 years,

while you make amends.

Oh, and mr. Lefebb...

If you ever have occasion
to appear in my court again,

don't wear white socks.

Lefebb! Visitor!

Hurry!

Hey, mike, man,

I'll keep a spot for you
at the tree, all right?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, why don't you
give me your hoe,

I'll hold on to your hoe
for you, all right?

Sure. Here,
there you go.

Ok, man,
this is your hoe.

This is your
hoe, man.

Forgot to tell 'em
42 short.

Oh, yeah, spend the rest
of my life in coveralls.

How you been?
How you been?

Look, you shaved
your mustache off.

That's pretty good.
Looks good.

New life, new face.

Heading for
old Canada.

I hear the interest
rates up there

are real good.

Oh, yeah?

In 5 years, it's gonna be
a small fortune.

How you doing,
kid?

Oh, no complaints.

Took credit for...

Some of my scores.

A lot of my scores.

Big celebrity, huh?

Well, you know...

They gave me
a break for it.

What can I say?

You did right,
kid.

How you jailin'?

Well, you know,

this place
is interesting.

"Interesting,"
he said.

Yeah. You done
a bit here?

I've done a bit
somewhere.

A joint is a joint.

Uh... carrie
get in touch?

You know,
if this was sweden,

she'd be staying with you
for the weekend.

Oh, yeah? Shit.

It's called conjugal
visitations.

I think it's
compulsory.

When you get out...

You should think about
getting a straight girl

and a straight job,

and forget about safes,
for christ's sake...

Ernie, listen to me.

This is my life.

Your life
in 5 years, kid.

Yeah, well,
I'm doing ok in here.

I got friends.

better have.

I pay a fortune
for 'em.

Uh-huh, well...

ernie.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Shit.

This place gives me
the creeps.

Well, take it easy,
you know.

Mike.

Yeah.

Thanks for standing up
for me in here.

Hey... I own this place.

Yeah.

Hey!

Hey.

Poor kid.

Poor old guy.

You know,
I'm not saying...

I'm not saying
you're gonna be able

to pull
a bank vault off

after you get
out of here, but, uh...

We learn by doing.

Oh, man. We
learn by doing.

That's
beautiful, mike.

That's wisdom.

Learn by doing,
