Hold it, boys, hold it!

Before we get out,
let's remember the agreement.

Attendant: Set your brakes,
turn your lights off,

and take your keys with you,
if you wish.

Now, one hour.

It is now eleven P.M.

One hour,
then we all leave quietly,

no matter how much
money you've won,

or how many girls you've met.

I repeat for the record, one hour.

Has there ever been
such a college boy before?

So anxious to get back
to his studies,

that the thought of winning
$10,000 at a crap table

merely disgusts him.

Could be that girl, too.

- Roy: Who's that?
- That heavenly girl.

- Hey.
- What does he care about girls

when he can shack up
with his law books?

One hour.

Not what you'd call an
interesting conversationalist, is he?

Your old daddy flew one
of those in the war, son.

And was that how you
were killed in action, sir?

Yes, indeed.

I don't want to bother you, boys,
but it is now 11:03.

Yeah, man, let's go
where the money is.

Yeah, man.

Is this the place where the people live
who want to give us all this money?

This must be the place.

This is my infallible roulette system.

Now, he has a system!

Well, if you've got a system,

you might as well get
it out of your system.

That's what I always say.

And you know
he always does say that!

Sir, I wonder if you'd arrange
to have a brink's armoured car

at the side door in about an hour?

I expect to be making a
gold shipment about then.

We're his male nurses.

Croupier: You got seven, now 37.

Madam, would you give up
this sinful life of gambling

if the right man came along?

I might, yes.

Excuse me.

How's the play?

I put it down, they pick it up.

Maybe you ain't puttin'
it down in the right place.

That could explain it.

Aren't you playing?

Well, I'd like to, but I just
get a nosebleed every time

I see that happenin' to my money.

Does it bother you when
it's my money that's going?

No, not as long as you
assure me you got plenty more.

You mind my standing here?

I haven't called for a guard, have I?

Why, they just get in the way.

Jackpofl

r152, the giant jackpot,
$50, bonus, r152.

Good luck to you, sir.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

You must lead a clean life.

Yeah, and up until now
it's been driving me crazy.

21 red.

I know this system is infallible

because I worked it out myself.

Do you suppose I could
be reading it wrong?

Oh, boy!

Now I can buy that atom-powered
steam shovel I've always wanted.

With that?

And of course it was
completely ridiculous.

I didn't know she was a countess.

So it was right after that, my poor
old grey-haired mother said to me,

she said, "brick, son,

"I just know you're gonna be
terribly attractive to women.

"And I do so hope you're not
gonna be a beast about it."

Tell me, have you been
a beast about it?

Well, certainly.

What did my poor old grey-haired
mother know about fun?

It is now11:19.

Thank you, thank you.

I don't like to wear a watch.

I hired him to follow me around
and tell me what time it is.

Croupier: 25, red.

Well, this is it!

Didn't you explain to him
that your system was infallible?

I knew there was
someone I forgot to tell.

Well, I gotta cash a cheque.

You know, only someone whose
father owned an oil company

could afford that system.

You've always hated me just because
my family has money, haven't you?

No, I have a lot
better reasons than that.

Whew!

It is now11:21.

The old lamplighter.

Do you see that?

What, that mirror?

You know what that's for?

Yeah, so tall texans can
see to comb their hair.

They're observation posts.

Guards sit up there,
and keep an eye on things.

Pardon me.

I'm writing a new telephone book,
and I'd like to include

- your name and number.
- Eight, six and out.

Whew!

I don't know if he told you,

but he's only thirteen years old.

Be gone, son.

I am the oldest thirteen
you'll ever run into.

They're cute.

Will you pardon me, please?

Excuse me.

I'll need one of those
when my system starts working.

By then, you'll be too old to push it.

Can you handle that for me?

Don't make me have to shoot.

How would you like this, sir?
Any particular denomination?

Robber: Any denomination'll do.

Cashier number three.

Guy in a grey suit and grey hat.

Two guys backin' him up.

The gun's in the
magazine he's holding.

- Just hand us that magazine.
- What magazine?

- What's going on here?
- Yeah, what's going on?

Take it easy and no-one'll get hurt.

Hand me that cheque, please.

"$5,000, or I'll blow your head off."

Okay, friend, let's not
disturb the customers.

Al: Hey, wait a minute.

- Who's in charge here?
- Who's asking?

I'm asking. What are you
arresting them for?

- These characters have flipped, ai.
- He's behind in his quota for the night.

Cop: Shut up, both of you.

I asked you why
you were arresting them.

- Who are you?
- A friend of theirs.

We're on our way back to
midwestern university from summerjobs.

We stopped in here to have
a drink and a few laughs.

Well?

Tell him the truth!

Now there's a real Democratic guy.
Hates everybody!

Look, I told you we were students!

- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, I'm not kiddin'.

We don't have anything to do with him.

All right, show him your
last year's students' cards.

I never saw 'em before.

Sorry, boys, one of those things.

What happened in there?

The man tried a real crazy stunt.

Roy:
Attempted robbery, he means.

Who'd be crazy enough
to try and Rob Harold's place?

Roy: Are you kiddin'?

'Cause that's where the money is.

10,000 people a day
gamble in there.

Every now and then, some wise
Joe figures a smart angle.

It'd be easier to knock off fort Knox.

There's no way it could be done!

Well, gentlemen.

Al: Dad, you missed out
on all the fun.

I did not.

I would like to make one of
my deathless remarks now.

There may be some things
better than sex,

some worse, but there's
nothing quite like it.

That was kind of a
deathless remark at that.

It is now ten minutes to twelve,
or don't you care anymore?

Well, let's hop in the old car,
drive back to the old college,

dig into those old studies,
and start taking out

those old, old, old
college gals again! Ha ha!

You with me?

Yeah, but I wish
everybody didn't know it.

J“ kindly pass the butter, Mabel

j“ you will find it over there

j“ in the corner of each Patty

j“ you will find a dark brown hair

j“ bum-barumba, boom-boom j“

that's a song?

Sure, it's an excerpt
from Beethoven's 12th.

Beethoven must have written that one
underwater with broken pencils.

Broken fingers.
Where are we, anyway?

Now he wants to know where he is!
Kansas some place.

300 miles to go.

- What are you ioafin' for?
- 85 miles an hour is loafing?

Anything going 85 miles
an hour is a guided missile.

Are you still worryin'
about getting back to Kay?

- Now what has she got?
- I'll tell you what she's got...

Hold it, don't tell him,
don't tell him.

- Why?
- I don't want him to know.

- Oh, yeah.
- Hey, about that cop in Reno

saying you couldn't Rob harolds club.

- What did he mean, "it couldn't be done"?
- Oh, beats me.

Anything can be done.

Of course it could be done.

J“ kindly pass the butter, Mabel

j“ you will find it over there

j“ in the corner of each Patty

j“ you will find a dark brown hair j“

aaah!

Good old Lincoln hall!

- Be safe.
- Hi, ai.

Roy: Hats off, freshman.

What's your name, boy?

Um... it's spieglebauer, sir.

- Francis spieglebauer.
- I see.

Well, son, men have overcome
greater handicaps than that.

But I have loose teeth, you see.

I think I'll just
call you speegie, okay?

- Yes, sir.
- Good lad!

Now hear this, speegie.
Every year we choose a freshman

to help us with a few
chores we have to have done.

Since the work sort
of piled up last year,

they all thought we'd get
two freshmen this year, but, er...

You look like you could
do the work of two men!

Hat on, speegie.

Now, first, in there
is some of our luggage.

Suitcases, heavy articles.
In there is where we live.

Your job is to transport one
inside the other. Understand?

- Are you sure I have to do this?
- Yes, I'm sure.

- Are you sure?
- Oh, I'm sure.

Well, what I mean is,

in the booklet that
the university sent me,

they said they didn't haze
freshmen here anymore.

That's right, speegie.

You see, the fellows
who wrote the booklet

don't haze freshmen
here anymore.

-See?

- Carry on, speegie.
- The keys, speegie.

To work, speegie.

Whew!

It's wonderful to hear
your voice again, Kay.

No, I mean it.

Don't you think he'd be embarrassed
to talk like that in front of us?

- Just wait a minute.
- No, I'm not embarrassed.

But if a couple of characters I know
don't stop listening in,

I may be crowded
into a little violence.

Ruffian!

Hmm? Yeah, the
katzenjammer kids, honey.

Oh, they're fine, fine.

A little more mentally
retarded, perhaps, but fine.

Yeah.

Surprise?

Well, that makes me nervous.

Yeah, I wanted everything just
exactly the way it was when I left.

Come on, tell me about it.

Look at him!

See how happy he is?

Why, just a few short hours ago,

he didn't know a soul in this college

and now, he has friends!

Oh, I'm telling you,
it makes a man appreciate

the American educational system.

Speegie, you see what
a deep thinker he is?

You should feel privileged
to know a man who thinks that deeply.

Yes, sir.

Can I ask a question?

Why not?

Why not spoil him
just a little? Go ahead.

Well, the guys in the next room

said that al and brick
were in Korea together.

Ronnie: So?

Well, they said that
brick saved al's life.

Roy: So?

They said that brick got a medal
and a bad head wound doing it.

Well, so nothing.

That's what the guys
in the next room said.

- Don't pay any attention to them.
- They're drunk most of the time.

Were you two guys in Korea?

What's that?

I said, were you two in Korea?

Are you questioning our patriotism?

Why, no, I...

I suppose you think we
wouldn't have been there

if it hadn't been for
our liver conditions.

Roy: I suppose you think it's fun
to have a liver condition

and never get to go to any
wars with the rest of the guys?

- Why, I didn't mean anything, I...
- Well, you just better take it easy,

and watch who you
call yellow from now on.

- Whom.
- Yeah, whom.

- I didn't call whom yellow, I...
- Get on with your work, speegie.

- Yes, sir.
- Yeah.

Whew!

How's Kay?

She got a surprise for me.

Maybe she's turned into a boy.

That girl?

Wants me to meet her at
the campus club tonight.

- Wonder what that could mean?
- Any number of things.

None of them too good
from your standpoint.

What are you talkin' about?

Now I'm supposed to know
what I'm talking about!

Oh, it'd ruin all your charm.

- Mm-hmm.
- Eh.

Speegie, don't just stand there.
Move, boy, move!

J“ I don't stay home anymore

j“ if there's somewhere to go

j“ I just go along

j“ for the ride

j“ they call me

j“ the life of the party

j“ they don't know that I'm cryin'

j“ inside

j“ if there's a dance or a show

j“ you'll find me around

j“ always iaughin' it up

j“ with the crowd

j“ they call me

j“ the life of the party

j“ but my poor heart is cryin'

j“ out loud

j“ I'm makin' new trends,
and seein' new people

j“ doin' the town until three

j“ it's all I can do

j“ not to think about you

j“ though I know you're not thinkin'

j'ofme

j“ so I'll dance every night

j“ and I'll play every game

j“ I'm the last one to say

j“ my goodbye

j“ it's then that the life

j“ of the party

j“ goes home all alone

j'tocryj'

I don't get it.
How'd this happen?

When we left, she was
working in a department store.

This must be the surprise.

Roy: Hi, Kay.

Welcome home, boys.

Hello, Kay.

I, er... think you gentlemen
made a mistake.

Your table's over there.

- He's ashamed of us.
- Wishes we were dead.

That's right.

I'll be back in a minute.

I want to get out of
this singing dress.

And you know, she's right.

That dress actually does sing.

Why don't you...
You guys go ahead and order?

I want to talk to Kay privately.

What's with you?
You on a diet or somethin'?

Diet?

That's at least 2,500
calories he's following.

Hey, when did all this happen?

About two weeks ago.

It began as a joke.

Not that it hasn't gone
right on being that.

A bunch of us came in one night,

and someone dared me
to get up and sing.

So, you know me.

I don't know whether
I know you or not.

The girl I knew couldn't sing a note.

Nothing's changed.

It's just that the
management thinks I can,

and they're willing to
pay for their opinions.

Now, you tell me,
how was the summer?

I wrote you.

There has never been
such a long, long summer.

Well, I'm glad to see
that all the time

you were wasting away for me,

you weren't forgetting to eat
some of those cows you were punching.

Same old story, huh?

You just won't believe anything
I tell you about how I feel.

Don't you want me
to feel the way I do?

I'd tell you if I didn't.

I know that, so what is it?

Ai, I grew up in this town.

I've been dating college boys

since I was old enough
to be noticed by them.

Well, that, I agree,
must have been horrible.

It's no trick for a girl
to be busy in a college town.

And these weren't
cheap little liars, ai.

They meant it, I guess.

But there's something
about being away to college

makes for deep
and lasting love affairs,

which are forgotten
the minute graduation's over.

Hmm, yeah.

You know, er...

You've had a real rough life,

and I wish there was some way
I could make it up to you.

Okay, but you asked me
for the reason

I couldn't take you too seriously.

And you haven't answered me.

Look, this isn't my
first trip away from home,

and it's only technical that,

I'm one of the
boola-boola boys at all.

You're not all that old.

No, but I'm all that experienced
that I know the difference

between a few
early fumblings with a girl,

and something that's
nice, and lasting,

that's happened to me.

It's time you begin realising
that I know the difference.

This summer, if anything, has...

Only made you more lovable,

and willing to admit it.

Would you care to dance?

No, but it's part of my duties here.

Whatever will the other b-girls think!

That you've finally gotten a live one.

Brick: Want a light?

Okay.

I'm a stranger in town.
Can you direct me to your house?

Did you lose the address?

Why, I was wrestling
cows all summer,

and my writing hand
got all cramped up...

Oh, I see.
How are the cows out west?

Oh, they're...
Oh, you mean the cows?

Well...

Look, I guess I must have
been all crossed up last spring.

I thought you and I were a
big, hot, breathless item,

then not even a card this summer.

Well, Jean, I meant to
call you, I really did...

Oh, fine.
Now I feel much better.

How could you possibly
feel any better, hmm?

Real cosy!

Look, buddy, why don't
you go back to your table

before somebody
eats up your minimum, hmm?

She happen to belong with me, pal.

Only in spirit, son.

You get back inside.

I know all about you, pal.

A real war hero.

One of the fruit salad boys.

Well, how do you
like your beatings, huh?

Standing up, or on the ground?

Don't crowd me, Mac.

Better leave it lay, junior.

Al: Brick, brick!

Get him out of here, fast!

Brick: I'll kill that...

Brick! Brick!

It's me, ai. Ai!

Come on, brick.
I'll take you home.

Come on.

Here, brick.

Listen to me, brick.

You know,
it might not be a bad idea

- going back to the vets' hospital...
- I'm not going back there, ai.

- Just to check...
- I'm not going back!

I don't want any part of that cage.

They were only trying to help you.

Treat you like an animal.
Like somethin' under a rock.

All the time tellin' you
you're psycho.

A lot of guys went
through shock like you did.

Look, ai, I'm okay, I'm okay!

Sure, sure, you're okay.
You're in great shape.

But it still wouldn't
hurt to have a check-up.

Look, lay off of me, will you?

You want to get rid of me?

What's the matter? You tired of
having me hanging on your back?

Okay, I'll get out of here.
I'll get out now!

You're not going anywhere.

They told you to call,
didn't they, huh?

"Give us a call, captain, in case 3742
starts goin' off his rocker again."

I'm not making any calls.

That for sure?

Sure.

You know, you...

Really coulda
hurt that kid at the club.

Brick: I know!

What do you think's gonna
happen to you if you...

Be sensible, brick.

Go over and
have a talk with the doc.

Look, ai, I'm...
I'm a lot better now.

This isn't gonna happen again.

I just had a couple of
drinks too many, that's all.

Al: Sure, that's what you said
up in San Francisco last year

with that cab driver.

Yeah, but, ai, these things take time.
That's all I need. Just a little time.

Al: Sure.

If those doctors
hear about tonight,

it's gonna sound
a lot worse than it was.

- They won't hear about it.
- You won't say anything, ai?

I won't say anything, I promise.

Brick, you're gonna...

You're gonna
have to watch yourself.

I know.

It'll work out.

It'll work out.

Yeah.

Roy: Well, this is the last time
I'm gonna double date with you.

You know she danced like
seven miles of unpaved road?

Speegie's got
better taste than you have.

Ronnie: Oh, stop.

Roy:
Oh boy, what's happenin' to me?

How could you trap me like this?

What's the matter with brick?

Nothing a good night's
sleep won't cure.

Well, that's the trouble with liquor.

You take one drink, and it
makes a new man out of you.

Then, the new man
has to have a drink, too.

Quote and unquote.

You can tell me your troubles.

- How's brick?
- Brick?

Oh, he's fine, fine.

Why?

One of the men at the club
said he oughta be put away.

The guy that said that ought
to be put away. Brick's okay.

Like last night?

Well, he had one too many.

Then how come you're so...
So quiet today?

Well, since you
brought it up, I'll tell you.

It all started
about the time I met you.

Others have complained
about that before.

What are the symptoms?

Well, studying that used to
take me one hour,

now takes me half the night.

In the middle of a law lecture,

I suddenly find I'm repeating
the marriage ceremony to myself.

Now, would you say
this is significant?

No. "Frightening"
is the word I'd use.

You know, I've been places
where, if you...

Didn't make up
your mind in a hurry,

you never got a second chance.

Honey, you're not
in Korea anymore.

Nobody's gonna drop
a bomb on you now.

I'd better do something.

What do you wanna do, ai?

Get married.

Now?

Yesterday would have been better.

What's the big rush?

What's the matter with
being sure of ourselves?

I'm so sure of myself now,
I'm nearly dead from it.

Guess that's the roadblock.
You're not, huh?

I may look like the blonde bombshell

who's been every place, and
done everything, but I'm not.

And all these big emotions are...
Are wonderful,

- but they just kinda scare me, too.
- Well, look...

Why don't you just relax, huh?

No, I'm like you. I can't.

I wanna get married today
just as much as you do.

But then, when I stop
to think about it, I...

I get so scared, I...
I just wanna run.

Ronnie: What's the good word?

There aren't any good words.

They don't make good words
the way they used to.

Don't just stand there, speegie.
Run around, do something!

I don't want your
muscles to stiffen up.

Yes, sir!

Tear on over and get
cokes for everybody, speegie.

I tell you, that boy's getting lazy.

Why, he had the audacity to ask me

to brush my own teeth this morning.

They don't make freshmen
the way they used to.

No, they've even quit trying.

Brunette: Hi, brick!

Brick: Hi, hi, hi.

Are you coming to our
Halloween dance tonight, brick?

Probably not.

Brunette: It's gonna be one of
the best dances of the year.

Sweetheart...

Let me tell you something.

I wonder if now is the time
when any of us should be dancing,

when we don't know
if little orphan Annie's

ever gonna find daddy warbucks.

She's just got to.

I know, I know.

Maybe one of your
own would taste better.

No, it's not that.
I'm suffering from something.

I think it's the
"edges-off-of-everything" blues.

Maybe you should
organise a panty raid.

No, no, it goes deeper than that.

I don't wanna get drunk.
I'm sick of being sober.

I've seen both movies in town.

It's the mid-semester whim-whams.

What you need's a nice girl.

Child...

What I need's got
nothin' to do with nice girls.

I know what brick means.
I've got it myself.

Bored with classes
that have just begun,

and notes I haven't taken yet.

Bored with being in a place

that's run by thinkers and not doers.

I come from a family
that does things.

Well, they can afford to.

A family that does things first.

That's what I need in my life.
A big first.

You guys ever hear of
a man named schliemann?

Sure, played first base
for the giants,

and later invented a
plastic breakfast food.

He dug up the ancient
city of Troy in Greece.

Hey, what a cat, to dig Troy!

It was a first. Get my point?

Roy:
Well, I couldn't hope to do that.

That's what we've got to think of,
to pull ourselves out of the swamp.

To be first at something.

Like the guy who flew
under the London bridge.

Characters who stole the
stone of scone in england.

Just like plinehouser.

Who was plinehouser?

Oh, just the first guy to be
called plinehouser, that's all.

He's right, though.
This boy's got a point.

Everybody's got a headache today.
We've living in the aspirin age.

Speegie: It's really
very simple, mr cruikshank.

- Now, wait a minute...
- Mind if I file these?

Help yourself.

You bet me five dollars
I can't do what?

It's a very simple bet.

Now you're sitting right here
where I'm sitting.

- Follow me?
- Yeah.

I pour a glass of water
on the floor, right here.

Yeah.

- You've got a knife in your hands.
- A knife?

Now, I'll bet you five bucks

that I can dry up the water

before you stab me on
the hands with the knife.

All right. Who's got a knife?

Roy: Are these
regular issue for law students?

I've been getting into a
lot of strange closets lately.

Dangerous moths.

Now, you sit
right where I was sitting.

Now, remember, five bucks
if I dry up the water

before you stab my hands.

Speegie, are you sure?

I mean, the blood.

I'm sure. Now, you ready?

Okay.

One...

Two...

Three!

They grow up fast these days.

Speegie: Pay me.

I'll bet you five dollars that you
never get the five dollars I owe you.

And, having won that bet,
we're even.

So quit worryin' about money,
and get to work.

Yes, sir.

Something you invented?

Recorded male voice:
Glad to meet ya, mister.

Hope I don't have to kill ya.

Special research.

What for? What's my crime?

Remember what that cop
said in harolds club

when we got involved in that hold-up?

Hesam,
"there's no way it could be done."

He should only know.

You mean you've been thinking
about it all this time?

I've worked out a plan
how to Rob harolds club

of a million dollars, maybe more.

Oh. How much time you figure on
researching our penal system?

When I say a plan,

I mean one where you'd
walk away free and clear.

You know what bitsy brain's doing now?

Last year he planned
to drain foster's lake,

and collect all the pennies
that had been thrown there

for the last 130 years.

He figured it would
amount to over $70,000.

A man is never appreciated
in his own century.

Yeah, well, maybe when you
get out of prison in the next one,

you'll be with people
that understand your language.

You really think you could
knock off harolds club?

A joint that's open 24 hours a day,

seven days a week,
52 weeks out of the year,

with over 1,000 people
in it every second?

I do.

The main cash vault
is right in the middle

of the floor of the gambling room.

It looks like the rock of Gibraltar,
and opens like the Panama canal.

It has two doors,
both steel-barred,

and one doesn't open
until the other's closed.

Oh, great, that's a cinch.

All you need's a hairpin
and a toy hammer, huh?

Ronnie: Got that all worked out.

The only thing left I've got to figure

is how to leave Reno without a trace.

This boy's got a little
Dillinger blood in him.

This boy has the spirit
of adventure in his heart.

You really think you could do it?

Oh, I could do it all right.

The question is, would! Do it?

'Course, I wouldn't
keep the money if I did.

Now he's a communist.
He hates money.

He's a crazy, mixed-up rich kid.

And they're the worst kind, you know.

Yeah.

Okay, mr first, what's the gimmick?

I wouldn't mind bein' first
with a million bucks myself.

Man on recording:
You louse this deal, Jack,

I'll gut ya,
and shoot my way outta here.

It's all done with psychology.

A simple and basic motivation.

Fear, gentlemen.

In this case,
worth one million dollars.

Gee.

A million bucks.

Well, I wouldn't be afraid.

I'd be petrified.

This must be the place where
they rehearsed tobacco road.

Now, why would he want a trailer?

Well, to transport his old money
to the scrap heap, perhaps?

Or to take his old girlfriends in
for a retread job, perhaps?

Ronnie: I bought both
the car and the trailer,

and I did it without
leaving a single trace.

- This is desirable?
- I used a fictitious name,

and bought 'em across the state line
from the smiling dutchman.

Who must be laughing
out loud after this deal.

- You're sure you didn't steal it?
- Does this look like I stole it?

How can I think when I'm blinded?

His folks must have clipped a
coupon last night, or sold a state.

Well, it was just a small one.

Rhode Island, wasn't it, Ronnie?

Why, it's a perfect set-up.

One guy drives, the others
hide inside, out of sight,

and no-one can trace it back.

According to the law I've studied,

it's a misdemeanour
to ride in a trailer

when it is in motion.

You think a couple of misdemeanours
is gonna bother Ronnie?

He's only interested in felonies.

Yeah, but you're still
gonna have to stop

for gas, oil, and water.

Everything you need,
you carry in the trailer.

Gasoline, drinking water,
canned foods.

Dynamite for blasting out of jail.

Oh, and Thanksgiving's
a perfect time for it.

It's jamboree week in Reno,

and everybody wears cowboy
outfits and false beards.

It's like a western mardi gras.

You, er... you're talking
like this could be done.

I mean, actually.

It can be done, brick,
and I mean actually.

So what?
None of us are gonna do it.

Why not? Call it a...
A field experiment in psychology.

Roy: It's not what
we call it that matters.

Ronnie: If we don't keep the money,
we're not committing any actual crime.

Roy: Suppose they grab us
before we get a chance to show 'em

we weren't going to keep the money?

Ronnie: They won't, I tell you.

I've got everything worked out,
and it's foolproof.

We leave the trailer in Reno.

We board a train,
and we're out of town

before anybody knows
we've even been there.

Yeah...

What are you shutting up about?

It all takes place in seven minutes.

At the first stop,
we get on the phone,

and let 'em know
where the money is.

Well, you know me,

always the first one to
tear down a goalpost,

or any other
red-blooded college prank.

Please, don't talk about blood!

What else will you need?

A cart.

We'd have to build a cartjust like
the one we saw at harolds club.

Yeah.

And we'd need another guy.

Why?

Well, the plan calls for
four guys to make it work.

Do you think a! Would go for it?

Not if he knew what he was doin'.

Last couple of days,
I promise you he hasn't.

Do you think it would work with al,
if he didn't know

what was up till the last minute?

Mm-hmm.

You really need him?

It might be fun
if we all did it together.

Clear out the attic, mother,
I'm having in a few friends to hide.

It's easier than swallowing goldfish.

Well, who said I want
to do that, either?

About ai.

Yeah?

I've gotta have four guys.

How about speegie?

You got ai.

Speegie, phew!

The ancient mariner.

Ah, very funny.

What are you doin' here, brick?
I thought you were packin'.

How's Kay doin'?

Oh, fine, fine.
Took three encores tonight.

And she'll be out of the
shower in five minutes.

You're gettin' to be a regular
night-club Johnny, aren't you?

Yeah, I like it.

Listen, the guys insist
you come along.

Vacation starts tomorrow.
We go to Reno a couple of days,

and then up to Ronnie's ranch.

Why drive all that distance?

Well, everybody gets their
own private monogrammed Turkey.

Maybe we win a couple
of dollars at roulette.

Hmm. I can have
more fun right here.

You know, it might do
you and Kay some good

not to see each other
for a week or so.

You know, the old gag about
absence makes the something.

Yeah, I know that old gag.

Brick, this year
we're stuffing our Turkey

with dressing rooms,
not dressing.

Kay: Who is it?

Why?

Kay: No reason, except
I'm just out of the shower.

You know, I never told you,

but I used to have a job
in a ladies' Turkish bath.

Hey, what about those Turkish women?
Pretty cute?

Yeah, but they all had Turkish men.

Oh, you do get
the bad breaks, don't you?

Mm-hmm. You know, a soap opera's a
fast, funny musical compared to my life.

However, there are moments
I wouldn't trade

for mountains of uranium.

You know, I've been doing
a lot of thinking about us.

Al: Oh? You, too?

You told me the boys invited you
to go along with them to Reno

over the Thanksgiving holidays.

Yeah, brick's outside now,
trying to sign me on.

You know,
why they should want me

with my sad face is
more than I can figure.

You know, I was thinking...

That if you went along with them,

and we didn't see each other
until after you got back...

I just thought that...

That it would give us a week
to get away from each other,

and just kinda think things over.

Sure.

Don't get sore, ai.

- It's just that when we're together...
- Look, Kay,

you don't have to
explain anything to me.

You can see, or not see,
anybody you want.

It's only a week, ai.

It's not the seven long
miserable days, baby.

It's the fact that you still
have to think up trick gimmicks

to find out whether
you're in love with me.

It isn't that.

- I know I'm in love with you.
- Do you? Well, then maybe,

when we're talkin' about love, we're
talkin' about two different things.

Maybe we're not. In my book,
it means consideration

for the feelings of the person
you're supposed to be in love with.

Have you noticed my feelings lately?
They're pretty well beat.

You feel real sorry
for yourself, don't you?

No, I don't feel sorry for myself.
I feel sorry for you.

You just can't make up
your mind, can you?

- Ai...
- W hat?

Let's forget what I said.

- Maybe it was a lousy idea at that.
- No, maybe it's a good idea.

Anyway, let's give it a try.

It can't get any worse,
as far as I'm concerned.

Look, we don't have to
decide anything this minute.

- I'll give you a call later.
- No, don't.

Maybe, er... maybe we can
get together after Thanksgiving,

if we still want to,
and you can make up your mind.

Ai, please.

Let's get outta here.

Sure.

- When are you leaving for Reno?
- In the morning.

Okay, the sooner, the better.

- Larry: Hey, ai.
- Yeah?

There's a cream cheese
lookin' for you.

She's downstairs.
Said it's urgent.

She wanted to come up,
but I told her it was against the...

The house rules?

Thanks, Larry.

Would there be any room
in there for my things?

I don't know.
Depends on where you're goin'.

I hear they marry
people in a hurry in Reno.

I have a friend who's going there.

If what you've been
going through is anything like

what I've been going through,

then I'm marrying the
toughest guy in the world.

You're absolutely sure now, huh?

I tell you,
I've been boiled in oil,

and I know what I'm doing.

Well, I know I should
get discreetly outta here,

but I'm gonna stay, and watch.

- We're getting married.
- Mm-hmm.

Hey, I said we're getting married.

Yeah, I heard you.

I was just wondering if I should
sing something appropriate.

- Easy, boy, easy.
- There, that'll ruin you for all other men.

Well, I think you two are
gonna like marriage.

I've heard it described
as something like

tennis played with
40-millimetre cannons.

No, that's before you get married.

Oh, I see.

Say, I wonder if Ronnie'd mind
giving us a lift as far as Reno?

We'll leave you
fast enough after that.

Well...

Well, never mind.
We'll catch a train.

Come on, I'll take you home.

- Hey, wait a minute.
- What?

You're gonna need money
like you never needed money before.

Like you never dreamed of.

And this child is not gonna
travel alone with you

until you've done
the right thing by her.

Old brick's gonna see that
he doesn't get away from you

now that he's ruined you!

Thank you, old brick.

Hey, won't it be great on a honeymoon
with just the five of us?

We'll see you, brick.

- Good night.
- Brick: Good night.

J“ time and time I stroke those tresses

j“ in the years long since gone by

j“ now I find them everywhere

j“ in the butter and in the pie

j“ pickle-diddle-dido, dum-dum j“

Kay: Down with three!

Next time, gin, one.

Oh, think you're pretty smart, huh?

Haven't seen you look so
sharp since Tokyo, buddy.

Look sharp, be sharp!

Hey, you warned Ronnie
about the chance he's taking?

Chance? What chance?

Ronnie: You know they're gonna
throw the book at you if you're caught.

What are you talkin' about?

About ridin' back here.
It's against the law.

Oh, well, we just won't tell the cops
what we're doin', that's all.

Okay by me. It's your funeral.

- Hey, you hungry?
- Starved.

What do you say we stop in
the next town, and get a bite to eat?

Oh, when we're so
completely self-sufficient?

Everything we need is right here.
Food, gas and oil, water, you name it.

Yeah, we figured on getting
you two to Reno non-stop.

- Ronnie: Come on, brick, let's eat.
- Right.

Complete down to
the red, rough hands.

Where'd you get the cart, Ronnie?

I built it. Electric torch,
book of instructions.

Torn swift and his radioactive uncle,
you know.

I didn't know you could do
anything like that, Ronnie.

Not a bad job, either.

Pretty nice along the seams.

Ai, here are your sandwiches.

It's something
I designed for dad's ranch.

Al: I've seen a cart like
that somewhere before.

I can't remember where.

I'll trade you.

Okay.

J“ hmm, hmm

j“ dada da dada dum

j“ dada dum

j“ I went out of my way

j“ to get in the way of love

j“ but I'm not sorry

j“ even a little bit

j“ 'cause I discovered

j“ the joy was worth the pain of it

j“ I went out of my mind

j“ when you stopped
being kind and gentle

j“ and I laughed and I thought

j“ you're just being temperamental

j“ till it's ancient history to you

j“ I've kept a memory or two

j“ it's to go out of my way

j“ to be out of this world with you j“

now, is this what you've been
yapping about for so long?

Just about.

You know, I must've been batty
to be scared about us.

Well, you were young.

We'll change all that.

I was young, happy,
successful at my work,

and now you're
taking me out of all this.

Well, sometimes a little misery
and poverty is character-building.

That's what I want to
build first: Character.

Don't miss a one of them, Roy.

We can't leave a single
print inside this trailer.

What happens if we do?

Then this rig
can be traced back to us.

What happens if someone
in harolds club starts shooting?

- You know, with guns?
- I told you, no guns.

Yeah, but you didn't tell them.

This plan is absolutely foolproof.

He's a genius.
If he says it is, it is.

You know, they charge
double fares for bodies.

- What do you mean by that?
- Just that.

A body has to have two
tickets on a train or a plane.

There's a regulation
about it somewhere.

That's an example of
real positive thinking.

Listen, let's get serious
a minute, Ronnie.

All of us,
within the next 24 hours,

could be lying on a dirty floor
surrounded by cigarette butts,

staring up at a ring of strange faces
with bullet holes in our heads.

Just wipe the cards and relax.

I've just rubbed this queen of spades
so hard I turned her into a Jack.

We'll pull off the road up ahead.
It's good and dark outside.

Brick, you Bury all that stuff.

Break the glass jugs,
and scatter the pieces.

When do these go on?

When we stop.
I'll take care of that.

Roy, your job is
to keep ai and Kay busy,

while we handle everything here.

Keep them busy?

I never saw two busier
people in my whole life.

They haven't stopped once!

What are your folks
going to say about this?

It's been the ambition
of the whole family

to get somebody in good-looking
enough to answer the door.

And what do the others do
while I'm answering the door?

Oh, they peek out from
behind the curtain, and...

Look at you.

Hey, you trying for some
insurance money or somethin'?

I just lost all my shame
for a minute.

Well, don't go lookin' for it.

You know, you're a nut,
but I love you.

Harolds club!

Sure, that's what it looks like.

You're right.

It looks like a dead ringer,
doesn't it?

Recording:
Glad to meet ya, mister.

Hope I don't have to kill ya.

You louse this deal, Jack,
I'll gut ya,

and shoot my way outta here.

- What's the pitch?
- Brilliant, isn't it?

Now, watch.

Recording:
Yeah, Jack, ya gettin' this?

Get goin'!

- What is it?
- I don't know.

It's the greatest hoax of the century.

As nefarious as fu manchu,
and as practical as a zipper.

It's a way to hold up
harolds club in Reno,

and get away with it.
A perfect crime.

Did you know about this, brick?

Yeah, sure, I knew about it.

Yeah, you set him up for it, huh?

No, it's his own idea, not mine.

Well, there's no harm done yet.

At least you haven't broken any laws,
as far as I can see,

but you're trying hard for a
cell block and your varsity number.

Ronnie, how could you
dream up such a thing?

I don't know what everyone's
getting so excited about.

I've just come up with the greatest idea
since the bikini bathing suit,

and you treat me
like a hardened criminal.

All right, let's pull this rig over
to the side of the road.

Okay, ai.

All right, honey.

You stay here in the
trailer with Ronnie there.

How could you
let these kids fool around

with anything this stupid, brick?

Brick: Oh, you know how Roy is.
He'll go along with anything for laughs.

But Ronnie's gone to a lot
of trouble and expense.

He's worked out a plan.
Great plan.

He really could Rob
harolds club, you know?

Al: Yeah, I know.
He could do anything.

- But how about you?
- Me?

- Yeah, you.
- I'm dead serious.

Come on,
let's quit horsin' each other.

Don't talk down to me, ai.

I don't feel a fit
comin' on or anything.

I'm as cool as a trench knife.

I'm not talkin' down to you.
Just tell me about it.

All right, any guy who
wants to lead himself

a quiet, peaceful, uneventful life
picked the wrong time to get born.

Sure, sure, you had it tough.
So did I.

But we made it back.
That evens things up.

No, it doesn't.

I did a lot of brain-beating
in that hospital.

I got it figured out.
I figured it this way.

A guy's gotta have a little
money to call his own.

Every time I thought I
could make ends meet,

some joker came along
and moved the ends out.

Well, no more. I'm gonna
do anything to get what I want.

Keep talking, keep talking.

I'm not gonna graduate
this year or any year!

- You know it, and I know it.
- Sure, you'll graduate.

We'll help pull you through.

No, you guys had me hangin'
around your neck long enough.

I wasn't cut out for law.

Well, you're not cut out
for 50 years in prison, either.

Look, I already had my lost years.

You... you realise there are guys
our age that are in practice already?

You're not thinkin' straight, brick.

You better get yourself
back to that hospital fast.

How much money you got in
your pocket, right now, huh?

How much you think you're gonna have
a year after you get out of school?

Ten, twenty, fifty bucks?
Ronnie's cooked up a sure thing.

- You're both wrong!
- We can be in and out of that club

in six minutes tonight,
ai, with a fortune.

Tonight, ai, tonight you can
have 50,000 bucks, maybe.

You and Kay could live
high on the hog on that.

Al: I hear words,
and they don't make sense.

We're countin' on you.

Counting on me?

Sure, I figured it
right down the line.

Just like old times, ai.

Look, brick,
you saved my life once.

I'm grateful to you for that.

I'm gonna help you.

We're going over to that
trailer, get that cart out,

and shove it over
right down there.

Then we're going in to Reno, and
forget we ever had this conversation.

- Ai?
- Yeah?

You know, when you first
decided to bring Kay along,

it kinda worried me.

Now I can see how it's gonna help.

You leave Kay out of this, brick.

Know why?

I got a part in the hold-up
for her, too.

She's gonna drive the car.

Ooh.

Hey, only got one punch
for me, old buddy?

Don't push me, brick.

You involve Kay in anything,
I'm gonna kill ya.

Hey, that'd boost your legal career
real good, wouldn't it?

Every law firm in the country'd
want you for a junior partner.

Al: You're really sick.

Ronnie, go in that trailer,
and bring that cart out here!

Kay: Ai!

No guns, brick!
The deal was no guns!

Now, this is the way it works.
You three stay inside the trailer.

Give me the trailer key, Ronnie.

Come on, toss it.

Okay, you'll stay in deep
freeze till we get to Reno.

My old buddy here is gonna drive.
He has to rehearse his part,

so he'll know what he's doin'
when we get to harolds club.

Al: You won't get away with this,
brick, gun or no gun.

Yes, I will.

You wanna know why?

'Cause your only chance of
getting out of this thing alive

is to pull it off,
and get away clean.

You're worse off than I thought.

You ought to be
back in that psycho ward.

Psycho ward?

Yeah, that's right.
I should've told you guys before.

- Shut up!
- That's where he w...

Look at the evidence, counsellor.

Who bought the trailer and
the car you're riding in?

Ronnie.

Used a phoney name and address.

And the licence plates
don't go with this rig, either.

Roy bought the groceries,

and he helped Ronnie
to build the cart, too.

And that's Ronnie's voice you
heard on the tape recorder.

Is that right?

You and kayjust came
along for the ride,

but who's gonna believe it
was just to get married?

You're part of a gang, ai.

But he hasn't done anything.

The police aren't gonna believe that.

I'll take my chances.

Maybe you don't read me.

If you guys don't back me up,

I'm gonna Rob harolds club
all by myself.

You couldn't, brick, not by yourself.

Well, then I'll say it again slowly,
so you'll understand.

I'm going to Rob harolds club,
with or without you guys.

And I'm gonna use the gimmick
that you figured, Ronnie.

They'll follow you
around like lady godiva.

Well, you'd better pray I make it.

'Cause if I get caught,
I'm gonna drag you all in with me.

Al: Go on, get in
the back like he says.

Now you're thinkin' straight, ai!

Oh, I want that cart moved up
in the back seat of the car

where I can watch it.

Cover it up with a blanket.

Come on, move!

And then you walk up to
the guy with the cart, see?

And you say, er...
"I guess you don't remember me.

"Mr gunderson introduced us,
but that was a long time ago."

Oh, look, ai.

You... you play this through with me,
you're not gonna get in any trouble.

You...
You were forced into a crime.

Now, even I can defend you on that.

I should've sent you
back to that hospital

the night you clobbered
that kid at the club.

I'm not goin' back there, ai.

I wouldn't have gone back there then.
I'm not goin' back now, either.

I'll do anything to keep
from goin' back there, ai.

Anything, you get that?

This is the best way
I know to get there.

After I get that money,

I'm gonna put a million miles
between me and the doctors.

I can't live with that place
hangin' over my head, ai.

You think I like
holdin' a gun on you, huh?

You think I like that?

You're the only guy ever
meant anything to me.

But I'll cut you down, ai.

Even you, I'll cut you down
if you try to stop me, see?

You've made that point enough.

You think I'm crummy, don't you?

No, I don't think you're crummy.
I know you're sick.

Not sick enough to let you stop me.

I'm not gonna stop you, brick.

I'm gonna help you, because I don't want
a lot of innocent people to get messed up.

You kill anyone,
I'd feel responsible.

- Ai, ai, I...
- Shut up, shut up!

I'm liable to get sick myself.

Kay, take this.

Why?

In 65 seconds, brick will stop.

He'll unhitch the trailer,
and abandon it.

Thirty seconds later, we'll
walk into harolds club.

Exactly six minutes later,
we'll come out.

An eastbound train
leaves one minute later.

Ronnie figures we can walk from
the club to the station in 15 seconds.

Ronnie: We'll board her
just as she rolls out.

Why are you telling me this?

I know how brick thinks.

My job is to drop the
cart at the alley entrance

three minutes and
fifteen seconds

after ai, brick,
and Roy enter the club.

Then I park the car
in Harold's garage.

No-one will notice it
there for a day or two.

You don't think brick's gonna let you
out of his sight now, do you?

No, but he will trust Kay.

The minute he turns his head,

I'm gonna yell for the
first policeman I see.

Not if you want ai alive.

Brick'd kill him, for sure.

Take this.

You have six minutes to
deliver the cart, park the car,

and buy three tickets at the depot.

Three tickets?

Brick and I won't be going back.

Now, don't talk like that, Ronnie.

Listen, maybe Kay is right,
maybe she could get the cops,

and they could surround the place?

No, it's too late, Roy.

And they couldn't get
a! Clear of brick.

Cross brick now, and he'd
turn into a shooting maniac.

He'd mow us down,
and that's not all.

He'd kill a lot of innocent
people before they stopped him.

No, we've gotta wait

and let the professionals
catch him, after the hold-up.

It'll all be over in seven minutes.

It wasn't just a stunt, Roy.

I wanted to see it work.

And I wanna see it work right now.

I don't mean
for the money or anything,

but just to know
I was able to do it.

All right.

Bring out the cowboy outfits.

Unhitch it.

Come on, start puttin' that stuff on.

All right, 25 seconds.

I'm gonna say this once, Kay.

Ronnie's supposed to deliver the cart
to the back entrance of harolds club

three minutes and fifteen
seconds after we enter.

Then he's supposed to park
the car in Harold's garage.

Now, this is a change of plans.

Ronnie's gonna stay with me,
and you do his job.

Drive the car, follow us.

I'll point out the spot
for you to leave the cart.

The garage is across the
tracks from the club.

And if the cart isn't there
three minutes and fifteen seconds

after we enter, on the button,

I'm gonna kill ai.

I thought I told you
to leave her out of this.

You put your beards on.

Okay, time.

Make up your mind, Kay.
We're rolling.

Six minutes after we get into
harolds club, we'll be out.

You'll see a train, get on it.

We'll enter different
cars and meet you later.

Ronnie's gonna buy
the tickets on the train.

All right, ai, you decide.

Ai, he's insane.

Do what he says.

Brick: Let's move.

Hi!-

oh, hi!

Al:
I guess you don't remember me.

Mr gunderson introduced us.

- Well, you meet an awful lot of people.
- Sure, sure, I know,

but I wanted to talk to you.
It's important.

- If you could spare a second.
- Oh?

Don't turn your head
too quickly, but...

But if you look over your
right shoulder, you'll see a man.

What about him?

Well, that man's my partner.

He's got a gun pointed at your back.

You make the wrong move in the
next second, he'll kill you.

You gettin' it?

Yeah, I hear you.

No, don't look up there.
Look at me.

I know they're watching us up there.

Right about now,
you'd better start smiling.

Look at me and smile.

This is a friendly conversation,
in case anybody's watching.

Smile.

You can do better than that.

All right.

What are we gonna do now?

Well, you're gonna push your cart

down to the Blackjack table
at the head of the stairs

right next to the dealer,

and ask her to
keep an eye on it for you.

But she'll think that's
funny if I do that.

Oh, she'll think it's funny,
but she'll do it anyway,

because you asked her to.

And, while we're
walking down there,

you keep looking at us,
and smiling.

Get goin'.

Keep an eye on this for me.

Okay.

Don't look at the ceiling.
Just go out there to the alley.

Smile.

Keep smiling.

- Er... sorry, we're working in here.
- But we...

You'll have to use
the Virginia street entrance.

That's the only
entrance that's open.

Al: Give him that cigarette.

You yell for help, and we'll run.

You'll save your boss
a little money, but...

Just before we run,
I'm gonna kill you.

That's right, that's a duplicate.

You're gonna push that
into the money room,

just like it's your regular cart.

Stuff the bills in there.

No silver, just bills.

All you say is the boss
wanted the money.

He sent you to get it,
and he wants it quick.

Anybody wants to know why,

you don't know,
and you don't care.

Then you tie the sack up,
put it on top of the cart

and push it right back here.

You got that?

Sure.

I guess you're wonderin'
why you oughta do this,

once you're inside, huh?

Well, it had crossed my mind.

Meet the other member of our group.

Recording:
Glad to meet ya, mister.

Hope I don't have to kill ya.

See, you're gonna have
company in the cash room.

Our little friend in the cart.

You're gonna wheel him in there
with you, and then out again.

Wanna know why?

Tell him why, Charlie.

Guy in there's five feet tall,
no bigger than most jockeys.

He's served time.
I won't say where.

He's out, because he escaped.

He says he'll never serve time again.

Recording:
You louse this deal, Jack,

I'll gut ya,
and shoot my way outta here.

See, he's gonna watch you
all the time through these iouvres.

The top isn't fastened down.

All he has to do is stand up,
and he's shootin'.

At you.

Got that?

Recording:
Yeah, Jack, ya gettin' this?

Yeah.

Recording: Get goin'.

You're due back in the vault now.

Don't stall on the way
and set off the alarm,

or our friend in here is
gonna have to dust you.

Woman: Jackpot, I did it!

I hit a jackpot, I did it, I did it!

Casino worker:
Another giant $ 1, 000 jackpot!

Machine c408.

A $1,000 jackpot!

Having any luck?

Al: No, no, I won one
last time I was here.

That's a ten cent machine.

Al: Yeah.

Where's the quarter machine?

Al: They're down that way.

Okay, good luck.

Now, look, Eric.

We're gonna pick up a bag
now and go outside the door.

We're going to a car we got
waiting out in the alley.

We're going to blow the horn twice.

Now, the minute he hears it in there,

he's gonna push out the sides

and go out the door, too.

Now, you wait right here
till you hear the horn honk twice.

You getting this?

Yeah, I'm gettin' it.

Look, I've done everything
you've asked me to do.

I don't want him getting
wild at the last minute.

Just follow instructions and
nobody's gonna get hurt.

He's not gonna shoot
anybody he doesn't have to.

Look out!
There's a man with a gun in there!

Brick, this has gone far enough.

I'm okay.

Ai, I've gone to the
police, I've told them!

- Tell them to stay back.
- Darling, please...

Darling, please, it's too late.

- It's in their hands now.
- Look, brick is a real sick guy,

but he's not gonna hurt
anybody unless he's crowded.

Now, tell 'em to stay back
and give me a chance with him.

Tell 'em!

Hey, mister, did you see a big fellow
come by here carrying a bag?

Nope.

Er... sorry, sir.
No people, just cars.

Look, I gotta find this guy!

Look, buster, sorry.
No people, just cars.

Brick!

Brick, where are you?

Brick!

Brick!

Kay:
Please, you've got to believe me.

Look, if you'll just let him alone,

then he might be able to get him down
without anyone being hurt.

Look, lady, you never
know about a psycho,

- especially if he's got a gun.
- No, no, please.

Al: Stay back!

Stop!

Hold it, Matt.

Brick!

It's me.

I'm not crowdin' you.

I wouldn't crowd you, brick.

I'm gonna kill ya.

I'm goin' away.

I thought maybe you'd
like to come with me.

I'm gonna kill ya.

Do you remember the time
you brought me in?

I had a hole in my side.

The commies were
shooting at you then.

You remember the tracer bullets?

How they lit up the snow,
and made it look all red?

Remember?

Just because I wanted
to be a mr first.

Hey.

And will you check his records?

We check everything.

In Washington, I mean.

I got most of the details from her.

I'll get the rest from you.

What's going to happen to him?

Well, he'll have to stay in the
hospital this time until he's well.

Ronnie: It certainly is a terrible way
for you to start your marriage.

You mean there's another way?

Sure is.

There sure is, honey.
