"Oh Lord, Charley do you know.." "..that these are all 100 dollar bills !" "How much money you reckon we got here ?" "I don't know." "uh .. half a million ?" "Could be." "What's bothering you ?" "I don't know." "Something smells bad." "Charley!" "You smell bad." "Now, don't you run again that on me or I'll hine you up to try." " What's that kind of money doing on a Tres Cruces bank ?" " Oh where should it be ?" "a bank that size, figures to have .. maybe .." "30,000 , 20,000 dollars on its stock." " Just let me ask you one question." "The money was there, right ?" "Yeah" " Now it's here." "Right ?" " Yeah" "So what's the big deal ?" "We interrupt this program with another handful info  about the Tres Cruces bank robbery in which there are 3 known dead and one sherif's deputy still in critical condition." "Harold Young, Tres Cruces bank manager, has estimated that the band has escaped with less than 2,000 dollars." "Sherif Horton of San Miguel county predicts an early arrest." "and now back to your programme" "What the hell was that about ?" "I don't know." "Who are they kidding ?" "Us ?" "Don't they think we can count ?" "Doesn't make any sense, unless.." "Unless what ?" "Unless it's a trap." "What's a trap ?" "You know what dirty money is." "It's the kind of money you can't declare on your income tax." "And when certain people get that kind of money what they do is sent it out of the country to get invested." " And when it comes back it's clean." " So ?" "So maybe that little bank was a drop, a collection point." "Maybe all of this was on its way out of the country." "Fantastic !" "We're locked out." "More like crapped out." "It's 10 to one this stock belongs to the mafia." "This is gambling money, skimmed out the top, whore money, dope money." "de la drogue !" "What's the difference ?" "The difference is that mafia kills you." "No trial, no judge." "It'll never stop looking for you." "Not till you're dead." "I'd rather have 10 FBIs after me." "Mafia money .." "All I wanted was a small thick." "In and out quick." "No big deal." "Well, don't you worry Charley." "Cause if you don't want your share I'll be more than happy to take it over for you." "I'm sure you would !" "Well, what do you wanna do ?" "Give it back ?" "I've been thinking about it." "Charley Varrick..." "Well, I got some news for you Charley." "You haven't got the balls of a bull canary bird." "And something else." "I ain't giving back penny number one." "Neither am I !" "Then what are we arguing about ?" "Won't do any good to give it back." "Nobody takes the mafia for that kind of money and lives to tell about it." "They would have to set an example." "They got to find us first." "That's not as hard as it sounds." "Word goes out and every 2-bit hustler in the world is looking to turn us in." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "La Cosa Nostra is everywhere." "You better believe it boy." "I believe this." " We're gonna have to keep pretty quiet for a while." " Is that so ?" "That's right." "Best way to get nailed is to start tossing this stuff around." "And what's your idea of a while ?" "3 years." "Maybe 4." "Are you telling me that I can't spend none of this money for 3 or 4 years?" "Right !" "Right !" "That's what I'm telling you." "And you'd better lay off that juice too." "That's another way to get nailed." "Me along with you." " Any more instructions ?" " No." " Nothing more you wanna hang on to me?" " Not right now." "Then I got something I wanna hang on to you Jimmy Dick." "I've waited all my life to make a score like this." "and now that it's here I ain't waiting no more." "I mean I'm gonna wave." "And I'm talking about chicks, cars, clothes." "a box at the races and beef steaks 3 times a day !" "and no washed-up." "Chickenshit !" "Son of a bitch !" "You'd better try and stop me." "Ok kid." "Your call." "Ms. Port." "I want a messenger to handle an errand for me immediately." "Best it !" "This morning a Western Fidelity branch Bank in Tres Cruces, New Mexico was robbed of roughly 3 quarters of a million dollar." "The size of the take plus the urgency of the situation makes it inevitable that I should call upon you to become personally involved." "All the arrangements will be the same as last time." "I hope and fully expect the same kind of results." "I know you realize the extraordinary concern here at this end." "So please, expedite." "Good luck." "So sorry please." "Not open." "Looking for Honest John ?" "Not here please." "Try some other time." "I'm Molly." "Mister Molly I'm sorry." "Right this way." "Mr. Molly to see you soon." "Door's open." "Good to see you, Molly." "Aw.." "Lucky shot !" "I told you you should have given me more points." "A pleasure to do business with you bud." "Thank you creep." "Next time then." "The sucker !" "Come on in, Molly." "What's the setup ?" "Our source hasn't had time to come with anything yet." "But the word's out." "Something will break" "It always does." "Well is that it ?" "What else can I tell you ?" "Thanks anyway." "What's that for ?" "Well, you can tell our friend that I don't work with my head in the bag." "Wait a minute." "I don't get it." "How long was that .. roughly 3 quarter of a million dollars to be in that bank." "A couple of days." "and who knew it was there ?" "Harold Young, He's the branch manager out there." " He knew of course." " Anyone else ?" "Undoubtely Maynard Boyle." "If you should find some sort of leak inside the organization.." "that information would be very valuable." " Carte blanche ?" " No restraints and that is all." "Very well." " Do you have any connection in New Mexico ?" " No." "You'll be all like here." "Deloso takes and delivers messages." "What about transportation ?" "A maroon Chrysler Impérial." "All souped up." "240 on a straight away." "Garanted." "Sounds reasonable." "It's all yours but there's a problem :" "it's repossession." "No problem." "Let's go !" "There it is." "Hush sonny, I'm gonna get your bramble Didn't I promise you ?" "Didn't I ?" "Hey Mister." "I don't want no problem so I'm asking you very nicely.." "to keep your hands off that automobile." "You Randolph Percy ?" "Hey Mister you caught me in a bad day." "So just stay out of my face." "Well, you owe six months' payments on this car, so .." "I owe ?" "I owe, uh ?" "That Chinese son of a bitch brained me out of 2500 dollars." "Now when I get my money back he gets his car." "I'm going to reposses this vehicle Mr. Percy." "You pig !" "I've had few minions speak to me in that tone." "a few caucasians but no negros at all." "Hey, Harman !" "10 o'clock news is about to come on." "Checking if you wanted to see it." " Damn straight I do !" " Alright." "Come on !" "My favorite program." "Hey Charlie." "I bet you don't know what the capital of West Virginia is." "Charleston, right !" "Where is the money ?" "It's in there." "In the closet." " Did you count it ?" " Yeah." "How much ?" "765118 dollars." "I thought I'd never live to see that much money." "Never mind have it, of my own." " One third." " Uh ?" "One third is yours." "Two thirds is mine." "Sure good buddy." "Sure." "That's what I meant." "We're missing the news." "Negotiations continue on a 24 hours basis." "Union spokesmen saysa final solution to the disagreement with City officials.." "appears to remain several days away." "At this hour a brush and timer fire continues to smolder, 6 miles south of Tres Cruces, in the foothils of the Sangre de Cristo." "About a thousand acres have burnt in the fire but authorities say it is now under control." "And there appears now to be a definitive link between the fire.." "and this morning's bank robbery in Tres Cruces." "A car, apparently used by the band as their getaway.." "remains at the scene of the fire." "Inside the car, on the front seat.." "authorities found a body, believed to be the remains of a woman who was driving the getaway car." "Earlier today, our man at the Tres Cruces bank.." "spoke to sherif Bill Horton." "Well .. this here .. body that we found is too badly burnt for any kind of identification." "Except for the teeth." "So we've circularized every dentist in the State with a description of the dental work." "And the cars we .. we got every bus station and raiload depot and airport covered." "All the roads and highways are blocked." "Thes people are not gonna make it out of New Mexico. .." "Not alive" "That I promise you." "You know, Charley.." "you're just plain lucky !" "How do you figure ?" "Because you're valuable." "You know how to fly an airplane." "And we're gonna get into that airplane of yours and we're gonna sail right over their goddamn roadblocks." "What do you think of that ?" "Where are we gonna land ?" "They'll have every airport covered." "In Mexico ?" "Expecially in Mexico." "They'll be at every landing fill." "We're not gonna land in any landing fills." "You're gonna land us.." "in some little low place where they never even thought a foot can put an airplane." "I don't know." "What do you mean you don't know ?" "Ain't you supposed to be some kind of hot-dog stunt pilot ?" "Yeah .. it's been a long time.." "since I've done any fancy flying." "It kind of looses your neck." "Oh you'd better find it again in a hurry." "Cause if you can't do that, Jimmy Dick, what use are you ?" "Well, we'll have to rig an auxiliary gas tank on that." "Give us some cruising range." "Now you're talking Charley !" "First thing I'll have to do is get the charts." "What charts ?" "Nadine dental's charts." "The X-rays." "It's the only way they have to identify her." "I'll have to get over that dentist's office and .. get them." "You got any jug around here ?" "Yeah." "There's one in the chest of drawers in the bedroom." "Don't leave the trailer." ""Don't leave the trailer, Harman !"" "Charley, you worry too much !" "No such thing is worrying to much.." "not when you got the fuzz and the mafia at you at the same time." "How long you reckon is gonna be before they stop looking for us ?" "The fuzz will quit pretty soon." "The others never stop." "Not unless they think you're dead." "and no washed-up." "Chickenshit!" "Son of a bitch." "You'd better try and stop me." "I painted her .." "I painted her up her belly and down her back every grubbish and every crap" "Come here poppy !" "I'm Molly." "I'm Jana."

"I'm gonna have to work day and night." "Pose." " And that's gonna cost you 500 extra." " 500 dollars ?" "500 dollars." "What do you get for a glass of water ?" "I tell you why." "I'll give the other 500." "But I gotta have both passports by six o'clock tonight." "Tomorrow." "The absolute upside." "Split the difference." "Twelve." "Midnight." "Things I do for a handsome man." " Well, thanks very much." " Thank you very much !" "Ok." "Here's the information you'll need for the passports." "You got the names and the.." "hair, eyes, height .. that stuff." "Charley Varrick :" "Reese River mobile homes." "That's my address." "My telephone number is right there." "Here." "Here's my card." "In case you need that." "See you at midnight." "Mr. Varrick." "You sure this money is good ?" "People kill each other for that kind of money." " Can I use one of your suckers ?" " It'll cost you and extra 500." "Close the outside door on your way out, ok ?" "You got it." "I got it." "I'm Molly." "Well .. what I have for you is special information." "Cost me a lot of money." "I gotta get ups for it." "You're going down a great deal of .. good will." "I got all the good will I need." "If you wanna know what I know get some cash on the counter." "You start talking." "With good will." "I don't suppose that i could get a bug in my motel room or your car is fasted." "but it never hurt to be careful." "They'd have to get a court order first." "A court order ?" "To install a listening device." "Oh I'm not talking about that bright little begger snapped at the District Attorney office." " What does he call himself ?" " Garfinkle." " Garfinkle." "He could change his name." "You know something, Harold ?" " I never thought I 'd be willing to change places with a cow." " A cow ?" "Those things out there." "They are cows, aren't they ?" "I don't understand the thrust of your cowman." "That a look at their mouth there." "I mean they got a knot." "and what's .. what's the worst thing in the world that could possibly happen to them ?" "a short circuit in the electric nook." "Compared to what I'm facing.." "that's child's play." "Are you talking about the Las Vegas people ?" "I'm in trouble Harold." "And it's my old damn fault." "They're gonna ask me why did I pick this particular bank." "And believe me, from where I'm sitting, it looks damn peculiar." "Surely they don't suspect you." "I'm on the list Harold." "and it's a very short list." "You and I are the only ones who knew the money was gonna be in the bank." "Then they suspect me too ?" "Good God man, you don't think I had anything to do with it ?" "Of course not." "I'm not an ambitious man." "I don't need very much." "I've been very happy here in Tres Cruces." "I became a part of the community." "And people appreciate not just the day-to-day business of banking but.." "the way I restored the bank." "I've made it a part of the terrific historical heritage of the community." "For the first time in my life I found a place that I love." "Why would I jeopard it as that ?" "I believe you Harold." "I only hope they do when the time comes." "The men at our faces, they gonna ask questions." "For instance we were keeping various sums of money at the bank from time to time." "But the one time we're really load up.." "bang, this little horseshit bank a million miles from nowhere gets hit by 4 professionals." "now they're gonna think that's strange." "It's a coincidence." "That's all." "Just a coincidence." "They do happen, you know." "But they're gonna think it's hard that you made no effort to get the police." "That you just tried and right over .. open the vault." " There really wasn't anything else I could do." " Oh no." "You could have fainted !" "I had a gun at my head !" "Don't you understand ?" "I understand perfectly." "I am not a physically courageous man, Maynard." "It's our mafia friends that won't understand." "They're gonna .. they're gonna wonder why you led them directly to the vault with the money in it.." "instead of the empty vault on the rear." "And frankly Harold .." "why did you do that ?" "Do you know what would have happened if I had taken those people to an empty vault ?" "Number one : the money would have been saved." "Number two : there'd be no questions of an inside job." " Inside Job ?" " That's the way their diseased minds work." "A bank gets hit ?" "Bang !" "They look for a double-cross." "Why couldn't it be just a coïncidence ?" "Because they don't believe in coincidence." "I don't know what to do." "Take a look at the big brown over there." "You need a rest Harold." "A long trip." "Pick some place quiet." "Another name." "Another country." "I can't start my life over again." "You don't have much choice Harold." "They're gonna try to make you tell where the money is." "You know what kind of people they are." "They will strip you naked and go to work on you with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch." "If you need money Harold, I can help." "I'm sure I called a hell of a lot." "I'm Molly." "Yeah, I didn't figure you for Clint Eastwood." "Which one is his ?" "Charley Varrick." "That's the other one." "Harman Sullivan." "Don't keep that." "It's the only picture Varrick gave me of him." "How long till he comes back to pick these up ?" "Midnight." "Oh much obliged." "And by the way." "Did the genlteman say where he may be reached in case something came up ?" "Yeah. he gave me that." ""Reese River mobile homes." "Charley Varrick.." "..last of the independents."" "I like that." "There's a ring of finality." "He's not in there !" "Are you looking for his wife ?" "No I'm here on business." "Maybe Mr. Sullivan can help you." " He's in there." " Oh, thank you Ma'am." "What do you want ?" "I'm a major crop duster." "Looking form Charley Varrick." "He ain't here !" "Oh Gosh." "I won't be able to come back tomorrow." "I was wondering if I might .." "leave my card with you." "I'd appreciate it." "I can't seem to be able to find one." "It's so dark out here." "Say, would you mind if I come inside just a second to do the scribble work and reach me." "I'm so sorry to disturb you.." "I take it you're Mr. Sullivan, uh ?" " Mr. Harman Sullivan ?" " Yeah, yeah." "That's right." "Sooner or later you're gonna tell me everything you know." "So why don't you save yourself a great deal of pain." "Tell me now." "Where's the money ?" "You busted my ribs." "Let's try this way." "Where's Charles Varrick." "I don't know." "He left you to take the heat ?" "Is that it ?" "That's .. that's what he did." "Exactly what he did." "Dirty bastard !" "One thing that puzzles me.." "if he's gonna leave you behind, why have a passport made for you ?" "Oh you didn't give Varrick your driver license ?" " My wallet." "I think it's in my shirt." "Can I show you ?" " Sure." "It's gone !" "Surprise, surprise..." "Don't insult my intelligence boy !" "That could be a grave error." "I swear to God." "I don't know what you're talking about." "I'm asking you nicely." "Where is the money ?" "Charles got it." "Got him so scared cause I wanted to give it back." " You want to give the money back ?" " Yeah." " Why ?" "Why did you want to give the money back Harman?" "Because.." "cause it's .. it's mafia money." "That's why." "How did you know that ?" " Charley told me." " And who told Charley ?" "Who fingered the job ?" "Was it Young ?" "I don't know." "Young doesn't have the balls for a deal like that." "It was Boyle, wasn't it ?" "I wish I did know." "My patience is wearing thin." "If I don't get some satisfaction from you soon.." "I'll have to start hurting you very badly." " Where is Varrick ?" " I don't know." "Where's the money ?" "That's boring." "You and I just ain't communicating." "M. Garfinkle is expecting you." "Run a check on it, will you Ned ?" "Harold !" "You allright ?" "Just I don't like strangers in my bank when I'm not here." "Would you mind closing the door ?" "How are things progressing Bob ?" "Well.." "I've been thinking." " Two of 'em drive up in the Connie, right ?" " Right." "But there's 2 already inside the bank waiting." "Now how'd they get here ?" "You think maybe there's an abandoned vehicle someplace.." " Sherif Horton." "They say the car has been there since the morning of the robbery." " Right." " What's there ?" " Matches." ""Reese Lanes"." "Where the hell is it ?" "This case is breaking wide open." "Get a line on that bastard even if I have to bring every doorbell in Reese." "Come on Dan." "Dan, you and Henderson stay in the car." "Let me know if you find anything." "Everybody else, let's moving." "You called it, kid." " Who's there ?" " Molly" "Told you I wouldn't be finished until midnight !" "So I will kill an hour too." "You haven't heard from Mr. Varrick ?" "No." "Not yet." "May I use your telephone ?" "Yeah." "Make yourself at home." "Say, you wouldn't have a beer for a thirsty man, would you ?" "I'll look and see." "Beverly, it's Molly." "I'm in Albuquerque au 242-5325." "Varrick !" "I got a warrant for your arrest." "Either you come out or we're coming in." "Allright everybody." "Just stand fast." "Keep us covered." "And don't anybody get careless." "I could have told you nobody was home." "Will you sign for the dynamite please ?" " Sign for the dynamite, right ?" " Right" " I sign for everything these days." " I guess so." "Dynamite, time delay cap .." "mercury swicth and emergency compartment light." " One, two, three and four." "Anything else ?" " That's it." "That's 9 dollars even." "There you go." "Out of 10." "Wouldn't happen to have the .. time, would you ?" "My watch's a little slow." "It's 8:47." " I'll put that in a bag ?" " It's ok, don't need a bag." "Thank you." "May I ask what that's for ?" "Yes Sir." "You certainly may." "No, no I wanna talk to Mr. Boyle." "What is it about please ?" " This is the main office of Western Fidelity bank, isn't it?" " Yes." "Yes it is." "And Mr. Boyle is the president of the chain ?" "And I'm his executive secretary." "Now, how can I help you, please ?" "You can't." "I have to see or talk with Mr. Boyle himself." "Mr. Boyle is out of town but I'm sure if you leave your name and a number where you can be reached, you'll.." "What is your name, please ?" " Miss Fort." " Fort ?" " Yes Sir." "Hey kid !" "Bring all your roses." " All of 'em ?" " All of 'em !" " Atta boy. 20 is ok ?" " Sure" " Oh Miss Fort." "Good evening." "A gentleman brought some flowers by for you. earlier." "I thought you might like to have them." "Who did ?" "I really don't know." "He didn't leave his name." "I thought you probably would know him." " Good evening Miss Fort." " Hi." " Good evening." "How are you tonight ?" "Will you ?" " Fine." "Who is it ?" "Flowers." "What do you want ?" "Oh I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to scare you." "But that doesn't mean I won't throw out of that window if I have to." "I'm not scared." " What do you want ?" " I wanna see Boyle." "Kendrick bar." "Hello." "I'd like to speak to Mr. Maynard Boyle, please." "Is there a Mr. Boyle in the house ?" "Be right there." " Hello." "Hello." " Hello." "This is Sybil." "How pleasant to hear your voice Miss Fort." "I assume this call is important." "If you consider three quarters of a million dollars important." "What about it ?" "I have a gentleman here who wants to give it back to you." "Is he alone ?" "Yes." "He's alone." "Put him on." "Thank you." "Hello Boyle." "Who is this ?" "Charley Varrick." "I got something I wanna get back to you." "How is it packaged ?" "In two canvas leather bags with the name stenciled on the front." "So give it back." "What's the problem ?" "The problem is the big gorilla in the maroon car who's trying to kill me." "I'm listening." "All I want is your word that once it's back, it's delivered to your hands.." "that's the end of it." "No repraisals." "Say you wanna meet with me ?" "Alone." "No hitmen." "Where ?" "Ten miles north of Reese." "On state highway number 23." "There's a big automobile junkyard there.." "and an airstrip that crop-dusters use." "10 miles north of Reese.." "On state highway 23.." "I'll meet you there tomorrow morning." "When I fly in I wanna see you standing there alone." "What time in the morning ?" "Just be there early." "be at a quarter of a mile down the airstrip past the hangar." "If there's anybody within 500 yards of you, forget it." "Just kiss the money goodbye." "Got it ?" "I'll see you in the morning." " Charley Varrick ?" " Yeah." "I'm gonna tell you something I guess I shouldn't." "I wouldn't trust him if I were you." "I like your bed." "You may find that hard to believe but I never slept on a round bed." " Is that so ?" " What's the best way ?" "North, South, East or West ?" "That depends on what you have in mind." "What I have in mind was boxing the compass." "You'd better not be there." "Why not ?" "It there's anyone around .. 500 yeards.." "the deal is gone." "So I'll be fine at 501 yards." "Just don't be there." "Look at me." "I've learnt to grow." "but I'm somebody that I don't know." "I know you'll say I told you so" "You won't need just what I'll be going through" "That's nice." "My wife's wedding ring." "You're an interesting man Mr. Varrick." "Go to sleep Miss Fort." "The last of the independents !" "Go to sleep." "You know I have to be up early." "Don't get killed !" "I'll try not to." "Go to sleep, please." "You still owe me south by south-west." "Then will you go to sleep ?" "We'll see." "South by south-west." "Think it's this way." "We found it !" "We pulled it off!" "What are you talking about ?" "Don't touch me." "What are you doing ?" "What is this ?" "Are you a hard man to reach ?" "I'l make a deal with you." "You're hardly in a position to make a deal." "Smell the gasoline ?" "I bet this thing will burn in a hurry." "And I know where the money is." "You'll never find is without my help." "Your end is what ?" "Just help me out of here and let me go." " Where's the money" " We got a deal ?" "Money first." "Get the keys out of my pocket I can't move my arm." " Now you see that blue Chevy over there ?" "The money is in the trunk." "I'll be back."
