Hold-up

Thank you, sir.

Hi.

- Laski. - You are not happy to see me, huh?

Do you not love me anymore, George?

No...

I love you!

What are you doing here?

- You are preparing a robbery, huh? - No.

I can be very useful, I know Montreal well.

If we look for a good restaurant, we call you.

Laski, you want to beat someone up. Then look well into my eyes.

What do you see?

You see? Never look someone in the eyes! Come, take the suitcases.

We must stop, Grimm!

We can go somewhere else. Not where Laski is.

It is an animal without scruples. We stop!

You are very good. If you do that tomorrow, we can go home!

Two million, three hundred thousand dollars.

You tickle me, stop it. Stop it.

Careful, this is dynamite!

How do you know so sure that this will work? - I do not know...

I think a war will break out.

No.

- They are heavily armed. - Georges...

It will work...

It will work because I... - Because you are a genius!

You do not need much to look like an idiot.

And not even a bit.

You will certainly stand out!

- Good morning, Mr. Raili. - Hi Frankie.

Where is your circus?

- What do you have on your nose? - A lamp?

Hurry up!

This is not a real clown!

It is enough, get out, understood?

Well, little children!?

Listen, music!

- How are you, Frankie? - Good.

Stop! Attention!

A rabbit.

Do not forget this: many carrots.

Good day, Mr. Guard!

The guard got wet.

Oh, how beautiful you are.

Play a bit outside, here is a bench!

Do you want a balloon? - Get out of here, work is being done!

Woehoe, the balloon...

I also work, Frank Coss. May I say Frankie?

If someone points a weapon at you, what do you do?

- Hands up. - Well?

Good.

Here, because you were so kind. - Clown, clown.

Children, the theater is over!

There is only one exit in this bank, and it has never been robbed.

Never?

And this button, for the alarm?

To warn the police, do you want to do that?

I will press it.

You are too kind.

Everyone hands up! He has a pistol and it is not a real clown.

Very good, Frankie!

Attention everyone, a robbery in the Intercontinental!

- Call Fox. - Yes, boss.

Quick boys.

Very good, hands well up. Sir there!

Come behind your counter, or I will shoot the guard.

Sir, come out, I do not want to die!

I count to three, one, two...

Sir, I have four children.

Frankie, what is going on here? What is this circus? Frankie?

Frankie, what is happening here?

It is a robbery...

Who is this gentleman, Frankie? - The director...

Introduce us.

Well... the thief... the director... - Good day.

The police are here in 30 sec. You have no chance.

Leave this bank before it ends badly for you.

Back to work, please!

The police? 30 seconds?

And now a question...

What is round like a balloon and bursts if you shoot it?

A head. Have you ever seen a head explode, Mr. Director?

Well, then I will show it.

I think the gentleman here wants to say that I will shoot you all...

if you do not take me seriously. And he is right!

Calm down, what do you want from us?

What I want? What I want?

- A round. - A what?

We make a round. Stand up, I said, everyone stand up!

He is crazy, we are dealing with a crazy man!

I am not crazy, nobody says that! Understood?

- Am I crazy? Your mustache! Am I crazy? - No.

That is better!

Everyone in the middle, we hold each other tightly, for a round.

Hop Frankie, hop Mr. Director.

Madam, you cannot participate, you can step aside for a moment.

Quick, quick, all together, a bit faster.

Now we sing a song.

A la Claire Fontaine Fine.

Attention, one, two, three...

A clown, yes sir, a clown. With fake hair and a nose like a clown.

- How many are they? - Forty.

Forty men, sir. At this moment they are making a round.

Yes, a round. The little train. Yes, of course.

What is he doing? Look. Attention, he shoots.

He shoots at the camera, there is no image anymore.

As long as he shoots at the surveillance camera, it is not serious! I'm coming!

Good, sir.

Call my wife and say that I am not coming home.

Good, sir.

She had prepared my favorite dish, too bad!

Yes, sir, a large sum, it is the day of the payments to the drivers.

We have printed a photo. I am on my way.

POLICE HEADQUARTERS

Take a seat there.

Inspector, we have surrounded the bank.

I say no, at the moment no movement!

BANK OF CANADA

I cannot do this! I will not open the door.

- Cut off my hand! - I am suffocating here!

I want out! I want to get out of here!

Mr. Director, I have four children!

- No, no and no. - No, Mr. Director.

I will not cut off your hand! I have a better solution.

And now a question: if we mix nitrate with sodium and paraffin...

I throw there, there and there. Dynamite.

- It is dynamite! - Indeed.

The detonator. Fire, here!

It will explode at any moment!

He is crazy, he will kill us all! Look at his eyes, it is a wild animal.

Mr. Director, look! - In thirty seconds we are dead!

We must intervene. Open the door!

Open that door!

- I have four children. - It's alright, wait!

Succeeded!

This is all mine, mine! There!

Everything alright, Fox? And? - He has not made demands yet.

A clown? It is indeed the first time.

I have blocked the street, there are snipers everywhere.

- Do not point! - Excuse me?

If he looks, he knows where they are.

Excuse me, sir.

Fox speaking, can you put me through to Charlier? - I hate clowns.

I was afraid of them when I was small. I want to talk to the clown.

Charlie, priority!

Try to contact the bank by phone.

One million. One million fifty thousand.

One hundred million.

One million one hundred fifty thousand. One million two hundred thousand.

One million two hundred fifty thousand.

What heavenly music!

It smells wonderful!

If it is a boy, let him become a thief, he will experience great moments.

One million six hundred thousand. - And no mistakes!

How long will it still take? - We want to get out of here!

It will go quickly, if you are quiet.

Ah! What have you hidden?

What have you hidden?

Empty everything!

Quick! Faster!

And this, what is this? - I deposited four hundred dollars...

but you came in and they did not have time to give a receipt.

This is not a reason to steal! - He will shoot him!

No, do not kill him, it is only a small thing!

You! Should I perhaps kill you and burn your body?

Go on! You do not have to exaggerate like that!

You to the cart!

Madam...

Everyone inside!

Two million three hundred thousand. You have everything.

Of course, inside, like everyone!

Perfect! Excellent!

You, come along!

The only movement, the only sound...

I will blow you up with dynamite, understood?

Dirty bandit, you chose your day well!

- I have four children. - Dirty bandit!

This could go a bit faster, yes, of course I want to speak to him!

- Idiot! - The unpleasant part is yet to come.

The friends of the press are here.

- Do you want my comb? - No, you have greasy hair.

This must be solved within the hour!

What will you say to them? - To them? Nothing!

I will talk to that clown.

Clown! Do you hear me? Listen carefully!

What a crowd. - With the head of the police.

I will give you good advice. You release all the hostages...

and then you come out and we stop that circus.

We had better not provoke him. - Keep your advice to yourself!

Do you hear me, clown? We are with thousands!

We come in and take you!

I am the head of the police, my name is Labrosse and I am not in the mood.

- What are you doing? - Did you understand?

I will calm them a bit.

They are not calm.

- Grimm? - Yes.

- You are still optimistic. - Of course.

You have nerves of steel.

Stop shooting, stop shooting!

Stop!
