00:09:16mean a whiskey I've been a little
00:09:17stingy with the words okay the stake
00:09:24we're going for is about a half a
00:09:25million bucks cash only it's a one-shot
00:09:28deal all or nothing in three minutes
00:09:30after the strike never mind the build-up
00:09:32Benny gave us that you plan on grabbing
00:09:35this dough from a bank you might call
00:09:37it that only this bank happens to have
00:09:39wheels under it and very few guards
00:09:41sounds like an armored car job I could
00:09:45be wrong you happen to be right doesn't
00:09:50sound good I don't like the odds yeah
00:09:52you can count me out too I'm not ready

00:09:57ace a guy got away with it back in
00:09:59Chicago about three years ago yeah I
00:10:01remember that but that happened to be
00:10:03Chicago and that was a Dave Purvis job
00:10:06let me ask you a question supposing it
00:10:09was Dave Purvis figuring this strike
00:10:10would it sound better all right so did
00:10:12sound better come from a guy who knows
00:10:14the ropes or what don't you get it you
00:10:16clucks Dave Purvis is figuring this job
00:10:21how about the odds now mapes they sound
00:10:28much better keep talking first you
00:10:30better know that I'm taking half of
00:10:31everything we get the rest of you go on

00:10:59we pull the strike plenty neat why
00:11:04Wrigley Field they haven't got that kind
00:11:05of dough there that's a good question
00:11:07the dough we pick up the ballparks not
00:11:09important what we're after is the load
00:11:11on that truck the cash receipts from
00:11:14bank transfers markets and theaters
00:11:16Wrigley Field happens to be the last
00:11:18stop on their run also it's the easiest
00:11:20place for us to operate you can take my
00:11:22word for that I checked them all we're
00:11:24still listening we've got three minutes
00:11:27to pull the whole deal someone is gonna
00:11:29spot us and send for the cops I've

00:51:10know he did I don't but that's what he
00:51:11said look that's the only line I had on
