Seems Like Old Times

- Yeah? - Hi.

We're having car trouble.

- Can we use the phone? - I don't have one.

- That's okay, we don't have a car. - I don't get it.

This clear it up for you?

No, I'm afraid not. I'm blind.

It's not permanent. It comes and goes.

We could've killed you.

It's natural to defend one's property.

Worth giving your life up for?

Not that particular spot. It's rented.

Well, what the hell are you doing up there all alone, asshole?

That's okay, call me Nick.

I'm a writer, working on a book.

What line of work you fellas in?

Stop at the next station, asshole. We need some gas.

- Where are we going? - Carmel.

- Oh, yeah? Nice town. - Got a nice bank.

- You ever knock off a bank? - Me?

Not that I can recall.

- Your first one. - Rob a bank?

- You, me and Bee Gee. - Why are we doing that?

- Because that's our line of work. - I see.

Here, writer.

- Remember where this gun is. - Right side, middle of the ribs.

- What'll it be? - Fill it.

- Regular? Premium? - Regular. Premium's fine.

Check the hood?

Yeah. No, it's been checked, thanks.

- Can I go to the bathroom? - No.

Ever?

- Just relax. - I'm relaxed.

Nice day for a drive. Tell me...

...where you going? - Carmel. Oregon.

Then up to Oregon. That's home.

Nice country. Eighteen even.

- Eighteen even. - Pay the man.

You have my wallet.

On vacation?

Business. Vacation. Fishing trip.

Eighteen out of 20. Here you are.

Yeah, keep the change.

- Which way? - We know it.

Move it.

I don't know. We may have to call it off.

- I can't find parking. - Circle till someone leaves.

Here's a dumb question. Why do you need me?

You look honest.

You're gonna go up to the teller and hand her this.

"It's a stick-up. Give me all the money.

Make one sound and you're dead."

- Good writing. Take it from a pro. - Thanks. You see?

There's a spot. Across from the bank.

- What's this for? - Make sure she sees it.

- She'll know you're for real. - Let's go.

What if I kill you once we're in?

How? We don't have no bullets.

- Just kidding. - Let's go.

There you go. Thank you.

Bye-bye. Next?

Next?

- Hi. Can I help you? - You can.

- What's this? - Read it. It's self-explanatory.

- Oh, my God! - I know. I feel the same way.

- What do I do? - I don't know. Let's look.

"Stick-up, give me the money. One sound, you die." Bless you.

- Should I pick it up? - Yes. No, leave it.

- Leave it? - Get it.

- What do you usually do? - I don't know. You want change?

Yes, please.

- No change. Keep the change. - No?

I have nothing to do with this. It's them. Look.

It's not even loaded.

- Oh, God, please, don't hurt me. - I won't.

- Hi, Helen. - Hello, Mrs. Herman.

Do you mind going to another window? I'm getting a payroll. Thanks.

Tell the police this wasrt my idea, okay?

Thank you. Nice job.

Are you all right, sir?

Oh, shit!

Jesus!

Well, I'm thrilled too, Stanley.

Well, you know how I've wanted it. I think I can do a hell of a job.

Thanks, that means a lot to me.

I have some ideas I want to discuss. Shall we have dinner next week?

Tuesday night at our house?

Aurora's chicken pepperoni.

I know you love it. Thank you very much.

Attorney general, California. The governor's backing me.

- Congratulations. - Thanks.

- I knew you'd make it. - I've saved these for four years.

- Wait until you see this. - Hang on. Get my wife, please.

Call her later, please.

- Hold on. What's wrong? - Recognize him?

No. He looks a bit like my wife's first husband. Who is he?

- Your wife's first husband. - Gardenia? What'd he do?

Knocked off a bank in Carmel. Got $7000 plus.

Handed the girl a note, flashed a gun and left.

If they want you for attorney general, it's your first case.

Is this a gag?

This is the government. We've no sense of humour.

He was seen driving away with two men.

- There's no picture of them. - Putz.

Doesrt know how to rob a bank, looks at the camera.

Is that makeup?

This plus his jailtime in Mexico will aid the opposition.

- They never proved the drugs were his. - He had five kilos in the car.

- A three-minute trial isn't justice. - Ira, you have my vote.

We live in a conservative state. Consider your image.

It's better he's caught. What're the police doing?

The usual. Roadblocks, helicopters, dogs, big dogs. Anything else?

Can we call the Air Force and ask for saturation bombing?

Thanks, Glenda.

Is there any reason why the sentence shouldn't be imposed?

- No, Your Honour. - All right.

Due to the circumstances, I'm releasing your clients...

...Robert Broken Feather and Thomas Jefferson Wolf Call...

...on probation. - Thanks.

I do not condone their behaviour, and as a condition...

...they must repay Welfare some $326.41 in damages.

What would you do if your checks were withheld for six months?

I'd rely on my pension.

I want to see them in three weeks, employed or with good reason why not.

Or I shall reconsider my decision.

I'll see to it that they have jobs.

- Thank you, Mrs. Parks. - We're grateful.

It's okay.

- Can we buy you a beer? - You're on probation. Try Dr Pepper.

I want you both in my office at 9 a.m.

A ranch in Topanga Canyon needs help with their horses. Interested?

We can't ride.

Can't ride? Great! What can you do?

I was in the Navy. Served on the bridge.

Maybe the stable needs some help with their boats. Bye.

Bye. Let's get out of here.

- How'd we do, boss? - We won.

Don't call me boss. Didrt you see Roots?

- Where'd you get the hat? - A chauffeur.

- Stole it? - Found it.

- Where? - On a chauffeur.

I made you a chauffeur so you'd stop stealing. Why do this?

I wanna be as good at this as I am at stealing.

There's a certain sincere logic in that, I suppose.

I hope you won't be offended, but...

...I gotta get back to work, and I need to quit the gang.

I'd give up my share of the money. I'd be sworn to secrecy.

I think we've all grown closer since this morning.

- What do you say, Bee Gee? - Lf the man wants out, let him out.

Thanks, Bee Gee. Forget I mentioned the name.

Is this a good spot here?

Maybe near a bus depot. Or here. Here's good. I like here a lot.

Okay. Step out any place you want.

Any chance of stopping the car first?

How about slowing down to 55?

Not here!

You know you ran a stop sign?

Can't help it. I can't read while I drive.

What about my raise?

Raise? I can't afford you now. It's my 12th case in this suit.

8: 15 tomorrow morning.

Hi. Hi, fellas.

You're smothering me! A simple hello will do.

Who peed? Don't blame the cats, they're not here.

- Hi, honey. - Hi.

Come on, come on, you bad dogs.

You know, if it embarrasses you, I'll bow out.

I know as much as you do.

She just got in. I don't think she knows.

Aurora, you sound grouchy.

Six dogs, two cats, five goldfish, a chauffeur, a man and woman to feed...

...and none eat the same food.

- Five dogs, not six. - There's a guest.

Oh, my God! Where did he come from?

If I was a dog, this is the first place I'd visit.

He must've been the one who peed.

It's nothing compared to the stairs.

I'll clean it. Don't tell Mr. Parks.

- He won't notice for weeks. - He will if he doesn't wear slippers.

Sorry, Stanley, I missed that.

Glenda, Glenda.

No, we're still on for Tuesday.

Yeah. I appreciate that.

Okay, I'll see you then.

Everything I own is yours if you give up the dogs.

They haven't seen me all day.

- Neither have I. I'm not barking. - Yes, you are.

We need to talk. Let's go upstairs.

- No, the garden. - The garden?

Yes, it's quieter there.

I've got some wonderful news.

- Oh, God, no! - What?

- They ate my corn. - Dogs?

The rabbits ate my corn.

I've got some exciting news.

- I could cry. - To hell with the corn.

We could go to Europe on what we spend growing corn.

- I want to talk. Sit down, please. - Sorry. What is it?

They offered me attorney general. Stan called himself.

Ira, I'm so happy for you. You deserve it.

You'll be the most decent attorney general ever.
