You're all under arrest, Sam Crawford.

Sam.

Sam Crawford from Buffalo?

Depends.

I don't understand, didn't Marty tell you about

the safe cracking job?

Never, ever talk business in public.

Sorry.

Yeah.

What time do we go tomorrow?

We go today.

Today?

Lady, I was told the job was for

tomorrow.

Well, there's been a small change.

It seems our friendly stockbroker had a deal

he had to negotiate on Monday.

I don't like it.

24 hours is no small change.

Neither is the hundred thousand in negotiable securities

sitting in his safe this very minute.

Talk to me.

Well, my inside source called me last night

and told me that Ogden...

Ogden?

Oh, the stockbroker's name is Ogden.

Go on.

Well, it seems that Ogden and his wife

are ski freaks and this being the end

of the season, they planned an extra long

weekend someplace in Vermont.

Oh, but the snow didn't show.

So they're heading back tomorrow.

That's why we have to go today.

The hundred thousand in negotiable securities are part

of a deal to be transacted at Ogden's

home on Monday.

Rather than come back into the office to

pick up the bonds, he stashed them in

his private safe over the weekend.

He's kind of careless.

Well, he doesn't think so.

He's been doing it for years.

Up until now, no one even knew the

safe was there, not even Ogden's wife.

What about your source?

Well, she was his mistress and mistresses know

everything.

They have to.

It's how they survive.

Yeah, right.

Well, speaking about survival, splits 50-50, right?

Wrong.

All I want is the jewellery.

You can keep the rest.

I don't get it.

Well, the jewellery belonged to my sister.

She was Ogden's ex-mistress.

Right.

He stole it from her and beat it

right back to his wife.

That jewellery represents five years of very boring

conversations with a very boring stockbroker.

And she wants it back.

Yeah, well, this is me, lady.

You can have it all.

I mean, she can have it all.

Never touched the stuff myself.

It's too many problems.

It's too hot.

It's hard to sell.

It can be traced.

All I lost is securities.

They're as good as cash.

Good.

Then we've got a deal.

Now, here's where the house is.

It's on Staten Island.

Staten Island?

Lady, I was told the job was in

New York.

Well, it is.

Staten Island is a borough of New York.

Oh, New York has five boroughs.

Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island.

Yeah, well, thanks for the geography lesson, but

to be real honest about it, it doesn't

make me feel any less nervous.

I don't like this at all.

Hey, you can't back out now.

I'm depending on you.

I need you.

Lady, I'm your friendly burglar.

I ain't your brother.

Please You want out?

Is that it?

Huh?

Come on, out with it.

Why, huh?

It's because I'm a woman?

Huh?

Come on, the truth now.

Sam, or whatever your name is, out with

it.

Okay, you finished?

Because if you are, let me explain a

basic principle upon which I operate my life,

and that is that greed always takes precedence

over And what does that mean?

What it means is that I never allow

my personal feelings, be they anger, annoyance, or

your garden variety ticked offness at a partner

in crime, be it male or female, to

interfere with my earning my daily bread.

So, if you think that I would-

Well, then why do you want out?

Lady, I never said I wanted out.

I said I was ready for Manhattan Island,

not Staten Island.

Manhattan, Staten, what's the difference?

You're cracking a safe, not a city.

The difference, lady, is I always like to

case the joint.

I am a pro.

I am not one of your Central Park

punks.

Now, either we check out the hit, or

I'm busing it back to Buffalo Tooth Suite.

Oh, is that all you want?

Yeah, that's all I want.

For now.

Well, there's no problem, because that's already been

done.

Now, here's Ogden's house.

We don't stand a chance.

Now, what's the problem?

Well, the problem is the house is in

the open.

It's too much in the open.

I mean, there isn't a nosy neighbour on

the whole street that wouldn't spot two strangers

coming in, going out, and they'd call the

cops, and I don't like it.

Well, then why did you take the job?

I've been trying to tell you.

I took the job because I thought it

was in Manhattan, where there's plenty of noise,

plenty of people, you won't be heard, and

you won't be seen.

And even if we tripped a dozen alarms,

it takes the cops half a day to

respond.

So, it's a little more risky.

But just think, of all that loot sitting

there, just waiting.

I'm thinking.

Believe me, it's the only reason I'm not

halfway back to Buffalo by now.

Who are these people?

And how come they're running?

Oh, they're college students.

They're probably late for class.

Oh, yeah?

Where's the college?

It's about a block from the house.

Oh, yeah?

That's perfect.

That's absolutely perfect.

Count me in.

So, what do you think?

How do I look?

Joe College?

Maybe Joe Preppy, so?

So, on the way to your place, what

we're going to do is we're going to

pick up one of these here school bags.

My place?

Yeah.

You're next.

Oh, you've got to be kidding.

I mean, I would look stupid dressed like

a Preppy.

Wrong.

You look just like everybody else, and that's

the point.

You want to blend in.

You don't want to be noticed.

Okay, as soon as we finish the job,

what we want to do is get away

from the house as fast as possible, right?

Right.

Okay.

A car's too risky.

It's a quiet street.

Somebody might notice the car.

So, the fastest way is to run.

Run?

Are you feeble?

Now, that's suspicious.

Oh, yeah?

What bank they rob?

Oh, yeah.

Let's go to my place.

Hey, it's going to work.

You're a perfect little co-ed.

Perfect little dodo is more like it.

Must we do this?

Now, I know why I've been having that

nightmare.

It's this job.

Oh, so it's back to me again.

No, no, no.

It's not back to you.

It's back to anyone.

Look, I usually work alone.

I make my own plans.

I have never been caught.

And the only time that I've ever come

close is when I work with a partner.

And what does that mean?

It means that from now on, I'm running

things.

I am the boss.

I say what we wear and when we

go.

I'm doing this for your own good, lady.

I'm not a lady, and the name is

Kara.

I'm doing this for your own good, Kara.

You're repeating.

I'm repeating because ladies' jails are no fun.

Women's jails are no fun.

Now, you're repeating.

You're right.

And even though you're very silly, you're also

very cute.

What's my first order, Mr. Sam Crawford?

Your first order is you never mention your

partner's name.

Forget names, especially if you're caught.

What's the difference?

We're bound to have some identification.

Who says we're bound to have some identification?

No one.

I guess we don't have to carry wallets.

Now you're learning.

No wallets, no purses, no identification.

I get it.

I get it.

No wallets, no purses, no identification, no et

cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Right.

Let's go crack a safe.

I figure we time the job so we

exit the house about five minutes before the

start of a new class.

And dressed like college kids, we head for

campus.

And we're running, just like everybody else about

here.

Come on.

4.15. That means we've got to be

finished and out of the house by 4

...10. Okay, when we hit the campus, we

enter at Williams Hall at the north end.

I think it goes like this.

Cute.

So the class safe, it's going to take

some finessing.

Well, can you do it?

It's a little late to ask that question,

lady, but the answer's yes.

Can I help?

Uh, yeah, as a matter of fact, you

can.

You can go up to the front room

and you keep your eye on the road.

And if you see anything, and I mean

anything suspicious, you come and you tell me,

too sweet, because it's...

I know.

Ladies' jails are no fun.

Now you learn it.

The gardener,

he's...

Mowing the lawn.

Come on, baby, go through.

Go through.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

I think he heard.

He heard, but he's not sure what, and

I don't think he cares.

Negotiables.

Lots of them.

Uh-uh, the jewellery's not part of the

deal.

Remember, it belongs to my...

Your sister, she can have it all.

We've got to go.

We've got about three minutes before class starts.

We've got about two more minutes before class

has started.

We've got to get out of here.

Get out of here.

Don't you know smoking's bad for your health?

Would you please just get in your truck

and go?

No.

No.

Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down.

Just try to act normal.

We're a couple of college students on our

way to the ferry.

Window shot.

Do you suppose we were seen coming out?

What if we tripped ahead and alarmed or

something?

Shouldn't we run or something?

No.

In Manhattan, we've got to be careful.

We could have run.

People do it all the time.

We could have ducked into a subway.

We could have gotten lost in a crowd.

It's too much in the open here.

We'd be spotted and pinned in a second.

No running.

It's too suspicious.

I'm scared.

It's natural.

It's natural.

Just keep looking and don't...

Please, lady, don't cry.

It's an ambulance.

Okay, okay, I got you.

A policeman.

Be cool.

He's following us.

Maybe he's just walking in the same direction

we are.

I'm never going to make it to the

ferry.

You're kidding.

Can you make it to the cafe across

the street?

I can try.

Come on.

Please stop.

Well, maybe we should go and ask him

for directions.

You know, I once saw this movie where...

Don't be dumb.

What'll you have?

Coffee and a piece of pie.

Well, I'll have the same thing.

Thank you.

Here he comes.

Please stay calm.

He comes up to us and stops.

What you do is you throw the coffee

in his face, and then you run.

Pete!

I'm just going to use the phone.

Sure.

God, what if he's calling for help?

He dues his radio.

Are you sure?

I mean...

Marie, where you been?

You know, my tour was over half an

hour ago.

I've been up and down Grand Street half

a dozen times looking for you.

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm not complaining.

I'm merely pointing out that...

Of course I still want to see you.

You know how I feel.

I'm at Pete's Cafe on Grand Street.

Ten minutes?

No, of course.

I don't mind.

Yeah, I'll be right out in front.

All right, all right.

I'll see you in ten minutes, okay?

All right, bye.

Will that be all?

Yeah.

This is 5.40. All right, uh...

You got any money?

No.

Remember?

No wallets, no purses, no et cetera, et

cetera.

Uh-huh.

Two deadbeats.

This is the third time this month.

You college kids are nothing but crooks.

No, here, look.

You take my watch.

That watch won't get me a nickel.

No one wants a watch nowadays.

Especially me.

Cash.

Or I call that cop.

Well, I'll send you a check with interest.

I'm no bank.

I don't loan money and I don't want

interest.

Randy, come here, will you, please?

These college student bums owe me $5.40

and they won't pay.

Is that true?

I just forgot my wallet, that's all it

is.

Please, we'll be back tomorrow.

Yeah.

There you go, Pete.

They'll bring you your money tomorrow.

I want the money now or I want

them arrested.

I've been beat three times by these wise

guy college kids.

Arrested?

Pete, you know what that means?

That's two hours of paperwork down at the

station house.

It ain't worth it for a lousy $5

and change.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

You look like an honest guy.

I'll take care of this myself, all right?

I got a date in a couple of

minutes and I don't want to be late.

Okay, here, here.

You meet me here tomorrow at the same

time and pay me back, all right?

Right.

Thanks, officer.

Just a minute, I'll take that back.

For security, you understand?

You give me back my $5 tomorrow, I'll

give you back your books, right?

Right.

Randy!

Hey, sweetheart!

Don't forget now, tomorrow you're going to be

here with my money, right?

Sure.

Will we?

That's a good question.
