Goldilocks! Who the`? (SCREAMS) Jesus! Is this your daughter? Because she has trashed my house` I didn't, Mum. She's lying. I need her and her bitch of a mother taught you don't mess with the West family. That's a sexy name. And you are banned from my dairy. I wouldn't go back in there if you paid me. Well, it seems as though we're rich, Mrs West. Can we trust you? Nah, you never asked me that before. Yeah, well, you were a prick this time. (SLAP!) I won't be here when you get home. (LAUGHS) I've met someone. I'll help you unpack. You're not welcome here. I'm still the same person, you know. Off you go, back to the sty! Oink, oink, oink! (LAUGHTER) Better a pig than a rat, Lefty! Oh, don't you dare try to deny it. All right, all right! You're all fools if you trust Lefty Munro! You lost the goddam money? Fuuuck! I know a job we can do, the two of us. I've had enough of you. You are dead to me! No, I'm not, Ted. When I throw you off the fucking edge, you will be! We all make mistakes, Ted! You remember our first job? You remember that? (DOG BARKS) Don't you pull that out. You still owe me, Ted. (SCREAMS) We need to get him to a hospital. One job to make it right. (BREATHES HEAVILY) This is bullshit, Ted. Are you even listening to me? It's very hard not to, love. Tell him to go to hell, and then tell the boys that he's stolen our money. No ` lost, not stolen. And not a word, not until we get back. Our money, Ted! Lefty deserves a chance to make it right. Or at least not as bad. Why? (SIGHS) Oh, Jesus, Ted. You do not still owe him. Not after all his bullshit year after bloody year! Yeah, Rita. Year after bloody year. And, yes, he fucked up, and he'll pay for it. He gets one last shot. He deserves that much. Not in my book. I'm well aware of that. (MOODY MUSIC) (MOUTHS) (TYRES SQUEAL) (MR LEE GRANT'S 'THANKS TO YOU') # Yesterday # I was afraid of today. # Putting me down... # Ngaire. Rita. Oh, it's your boy's first day, is it? This is Wolf. And this is Desiree, right? She's been here a year. The teachers think she's gifted. Nice for you. Why don't you two run along and play? Give us a chance to catch up. Go, love. Doesn't like girls much. Oh, I'm sure that'll change. How's Theodore? Ted's fine, thanks. Does he have a job now? He does. Locksmith. What about Russell? Working at the post office. An accounts clerk. Sounds flash. Oh, has excellent prospects. I'm sure it does. You know, we should get together some time for a catch-up, the four of us. It's a great idea. Wolf, for heaven's sake. Desiree, put your dress down! Get your hand outta your pants, young man! (CLATTERING) The take from Eric's last road trip was light again. (SIGHS) What else is new? I can't tell if he's deliberately taking the money or if he's just useless. I'd guess the latter. There's a bit of that going round at the moment. Oh, you should give him the flick. Probably. Do you think McCarthy'd fancy a bit of moonlighting, driving stolen goods round the North Island? (CASH REGISTER RINGS) It'd help. Oh. Do I detect a whiff of trouble in piggy paradise? Not at all. Sounded like it to me. Just recalling how, for all his millions of faults, with Lefty there was always money. Well, most of the time. Can't be easy raising your girls on an oinker's salary. Mike earns a very good salary, actually. And I earn money too. Just not quite enough to keep you in the style to which you are accustomed. And I'm not giving you a raise. I wasn't asking for one. And Mike and I are just fine, thank you very much for asking. I might need to pop away early. We've got people coming round for dinner, and I need to get a roast on. Well, la-di-da. Aren't you flash (?) Oh, hi. Did you talk to your boss? Yeah. No dice, sorry. Ugh. They don't realise how bloody good you are at your job. Yeah, I know. How was your day? You're looking at it. Desiree get back to school OK? Yes, she settled straight back in. (BABY FUSSES) You'll never guess who I ran into today at school. Rita West. Jeepers. Rita. (CHUCKLES) Her boy just started today ` Wolf. Wolf? What the heck kinda name is that for a kid? CHUCKLES: I know. So she's still with Theodore, then. Yes. I thought they'd be long split by now ` or living in some commune in the Coromandel. (LAUGHS) Or in prison. Or that. Theodore's actually a, uh` He's a locksmith now. Really? I thought he might be worth talking to about that thing that you and Bill were talking about. That was just me and him talking after a few beers. Yeah, but if you wanted to make it more than just talking, a locksmith would be good to bring on board, right? And Theodore, I'm sure you'll recall, is no fan of the law. (CICADAS CHIRP) (FLY UNZIPS) Takes me back. What, having a piss in the middle of nowhere? The road trips we've been on. Come on. You hated road trips for a long time after that first one. Can you blame me? I believe your exact words were, 'Everything south of the Bombays can go fuck themselves.' (ZIPS FLY) I think it's good it's just you and me. Cos the others'd kill you if they knew. This'll soften the blow. You hope. Don't start thinking I'm happy about this. Yeah, I get that. This guy better be the arsehole you say he is. I don't like stealing from hard-working Kiwis. Trust me, Ted ` this bloke is right up your alley, arsehole-wise. You know what I mean. The moment I saw him, I thought, 'Ted'll love this guy.' And you're sure he's loaded? Oh yeah. Just because he flashes the cash doesn't mean it's worth driving halfway down the bloody country to rob him. Hey, I put in the work. (LARRY'S REBELS' 'LET'S THINK OF SOMETHING') That was delicious, Ngaire. Navarin de Mouton. French, is it? Graham Kerr, from one of his books. I like a good piece of mutton. (CHUCKLES) (DOORBELL RINGS) I'll get that. Russell's lucky to be married to such a great cook. Oh, I should hope he thinks so. Rita, Theodore, this is a friend of ours, Bill. Good to meet you, Theodore. Uh, everyone calls me Ted. Everyone but Russell calls me Bilkey. Is it OK if Bill and I borrow Ted for a bit? Just something to run past ya. Yeah, sure. I'm all ears. Won't be long, love. Take all the time you need. We might have a sherry. Rita? A sherry would be lovely. Cheers. Bill's had some bad news. Just been called up. Oh. Lousy luck. Mm. Tell me about it. That's just bloody wrong. Holyoake, you know, sending our boys off to Vietnam to fight for the Yanks. You're not a fan of the Nats, Ted? Well, like I say, I'm a Coaster. Labour through and through. The guys I know, I went to school with, died in the Strongman Mine. Now the government's trying to cover it up with this so-called inquiry, the bastards. Oh, sorry, mate. What for? Well, you know, you work for the post office. (CHUCKLES) Just cos I work for them doesn't mean I'm a fan. In fact, Bilkey and I wanna run an idea past you. It's not what you'd call, um, legal. But it could be very profitable. Keep talking. It's about a project we've got on at work, the thing that happens in July this year. These are the new coins ` 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20 and 50c. You'll be using these from... # The 10th of July next year. # The decimal currency change-over. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Only me. Phineas is playing squash, and I was bored, so I thought I'd pop round. I've got tonic. I'm sure you've got gin. I do. And you said Ted and gone away for a bit. He has, yeah. So I thought you'd like some company, being here on your own. (SIGHS) Yep, just me. So, why is Phineas playing squash? It's his new thing for passing the time now he doesn't have to work. Right. Well, I wouldn't tell Phineas to get too attached to playing squash. Why not? I just don't think it's his game. Me neither. I don't think he realises it doesn't actually involve squashing people. Still, it helps him pass the childless hours, the void, the emptiness of our house without the pitter-patter of little feet. Carol, where did you buy this stuff? The Four Square. Why? Carol, you know I can tell when you're lying, right? (SIGHS) OK, yes, the forbidden dairy. But only because I was driving past when I remembered I should bring something, and I couldn't be bothered going all the way back to the Four Square. We agreed to not give that woman our business. No, you said we couldn't. Same difference. Trish is quite nice really. We got chatting. She's a cow whose daughters invaded my home. Trish is adamant they wouldn't do that. She says her girls are really smart and never do anything bad. (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) Why won't she introduce us to her sisters? It's a mystery, Sparky. Yeah, but, you know, there's three of us; she's got two sisters. You know? You hear what I'm sayin'? It's hard not to, Eric. Yeah. (LAUGHS) What about Falani? Oh, well, that'd be sick. That family ` those girls ` they're nothing but trouble. You mark my words. But if we don't think big, we'll always be a small nation. But we are a small nation. But if we wanna foot it with the boys in the world` By spending millions and millions building smelters and dams and suchlike? I mean, can we afford that? But if we don't, we'll always be at the hands of the Arabs every time they want to put up the price of petrol. So you really think this whole natural gas lark is the way to go, do you? I think` Yes, I do, Mike. I really do. I think the government's right ` I think we've got to think big. Oh, you like thinking big, do you, Wendy? I s` I support what they're doing, yes. No, I meant in general. You like, um, big things? I don't know what you mean. Well, if that's the case, you must've been very disappointed when you shagged my husband. Lefty. You remember him ` tiny cock, one ball short of a full sack? Yes, I remember your, uh, husband, but we nev` Wendy wouldn't do something like that, I can assure you. I can assure you, Brian, that Lefty would, and that she did. Oh, but, you know, there were so many other women, possibly I'm getting confused. My apologies, Wendy, if he didn't have his wicked way with you. My apologies if he did. (CHUCKLES) I'll put the coffee on. Sorry. The, um, separation hasn't been easy for her. (GROANS) God, I hate this bed! Yeah, it's not the best, eh. I'm sorry. What for? For being a bitch. Nah, you weren't a bitch. Look, if I'd known she'd shagged Lefty, I never would've invited them round. And don't get me wrong; I'm no fan of the guy, as you well know, but he was your husband at the time. (SNORTS) What? Well, he was my husband when you shagged me. Well, that's different. How? Because I love you. He was just looking for a warm place to stick his dick. (BOTH CHUCKLE) (KNOCK AT DOOR) How's the room? It's all right. Good. Good. Yeah, mine's good too. Uh, went to the bottle store. Got a little something to say, uh, thanks for sticking with me. You're welcome. (DOOR SLAMS) I'll help you unpack. Thanks, love. Sing out if you need another cup. It's called Operation Overlander. And what they need to do is move $120 million in the new currency round the country in time for it to go into circulation on July 10th, right? And you wanna steal it? Well, not all of it. Because that would be stealing all the money in New Zealand. 700 tons of which is in coins. Yeah, may as well think big, though, right? Maybe one day. For now, the money's sent around the country on six trains. Presumably well-guarded trains. Two plodders in every car; two dog squads on every train. All escorted by the army. How is it that you know all of this? I work for the post office, Ted. Very little happens in this country that we don't know about. And I've befriended a chap who works for the Decimal Currency Board. But don't worry about the trains. Cos what we're interested in is once the cash leaves the trains and goes to 592 banks to go into circulation on July 10th. Which means on July 9th there'll be many banks hefty with cash. (DOORBELL RINGS) Can you get that, love? Exactly. And you wanna hit one of these banks? Yeah. We'll need three of us on the inside, at least. And we'll need a driver ` unless that's one of you two? There's a guy I know at my garage. Races stock cars. Sounds OK so far. He's Maori. I don't care what he is, long as he can drive. Yeah, I don't know, Mr Munro. If I didn't know any better, I'd say the job you're talking about here sounds pretty darn illegal. Are you interested is all we wanna know. But I'm a good boy. And doing crime, that would be a... a bad thing. Well, then forget we ever spoke, eh? Hey, you never saw me. Afternoon. Either of you two work here? No. Uh, yeah. Yeah, I do. What can I help you with? Maori fella goes by the name of Bert Armstrong. He work here? Oh, that guy. Yeah, no, he was trouble. We had to let him go, oh, a few months back. Why? I need to talk to him about some stolen cars. Ah. Doesn't surprise me. But like I said, he shot through on us. You're welcome to look around if you like. No, no, she's good. But if you do see him, give me a call. McCarthy. Constable Mike McCarthy. Good to meet you, Mike. Thanks for your help. You're welcome. What's that you were saying about being a good boy? What was that you were saying about a job? Um, sorry, there's a problem. Can't you deal with it? No, not really. I'm here for the TV. I explained to them I'd catch the payments next month. But that was three months ago, so they've sent me to take the TV back. I have three kids, and the girls, they love their TV. I don't know anything about kids. I was just told to get the TV back. Uh, Phineas, isn't it? Phineas O'Driscoll. I've seen you box on Friday nights. Yeah? So? Your mammy watches you. She likes it when I beat them up. (CHUCKLES) And, uh, does she know that you're here doing this, trying to take away the things that these people have worked hard for? You know, like Russell and Ngaire here. But if I don't take the TV, they'll fire me, and I won't have a job. Or... you could join us. Make more money than you've ever dreamed of. And make your mammy proud. Jesus, Eric. Look at the state of you. I'm all good. I'm just not a morning person, eh. (CHUCKLES) What the hell are you boys getting up to at that flat? Nothing. No, that Falani, you know, he's a good Christian boy. He keeps us in line. (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) Is Wolf still working for Evan Lace? In a manner of speaking. Lady, if you have a problem with us and our lifestyle, then the only thing I can suggest is that you sell up and move, because we're not going anywhere in a hurry. How is Wolf? He's good. He's good. He's just good? Yep. Living a good, clean life. (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) (KNOCKS) Hey, uh, you've got two sisters; you know, just think of those of us who've got no one. Better get on the road. Don't be fooled by Rod Nugent and that fake charm of his this time. Sorry for interrupting. Oh, that's all right. Anything that gets Eric to leave is doing me a favour. Don't see you in here much, Phineas. I'm taking him clothes shopping. Bilkey's fitting him for a suit. Does Phineas really need a new suit, Carol? That's what I keep saying. But he looks nice in a suit. Yeah, but you might wanna think about it for a while before you spend all that money. But that's the thing about having lots of money ` you can buy things because you want to, not because you need to. About bloody time. Phineas. Carol. Ngaire. You not even allowed to talk to me, Phineas? What if what I say to you gets back to McCarthy? Oh, like if you said hello? Well, then I'd tell him that Phineas said hello (!) We should probably go, love. They've got work to do. So much for old times, then. (SANDY EDMONDS' 'DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME') One day we'll all have women to kiss us goodbye. For us, for our future. I know. I love you so much. You should be running this gang. One thing at a time, love. # Nobody believes in me but you, baby. # All I know is that I'm up to my heart # in love with you, baby. # (ENGINE STARTS, TYRES SQUEAL) So what now? Are we just meant to sit by the fire and wait? I guess so. Fuck that. You want a gin? Mm. Do you want to buy my Krugerrands? Just some of them ` enough for a new bed. A bed? The one I'm in is bloody uncomfortable and` McCarthy's bed? Is bloody uncomfortable and` The bed you made for yourself and are currently lying in? Yes, joke all you want. Do you want to buy my Krugerrands or not? I mean, I presume you're all rolling in it from the South African job. Those are for when our husbands aren't around any more. Am I with Lefty? No, you're with McCarthy. (LAID-BACK ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) Certainly looks like a pig of a human. (BURPS) He is. Should you even be here? What if he recognises you? Mate, he was hammered when I met him and unconscious when I left in the morning. He wouldn't remember me if I took a shit in his lap. Who's the woman? Joyce, his wife. I think he bought her from a catalogue or something. You never mentioned a wife. Didn't I? She was there. (EXHALES) Is it wise carrying that much cash around? Everybody here knows not to mess with me. Besides, where else am I gonna keep it? Uh, a bank. Don't trust banks, bloody cheating me out of my money with their fees and whatnot. Nah, every penny, I keep it close, you know? Where I can get my hands on it when the shit goes down. And what shit is this? SOFTLY: When the fucking Commies take over, mate. She gonna be a problem here? Nah. In fact, she's how I know he's here until chucking-out time. Every Friday night, useless fat fuck drink until pub shut. (SNORES) Drive home, drink until he pass out, talking shit all the time. What if she recognises you? That won't be a problem. Except this Friday night, he bring home you. This Friday... I like. You sure about that? I am. In fact, she's the reason I know about the safe. (CLATTERING) (PANTS) Uh, is this, uh, wise? I'll tidy in the morning! Do it! Do it! (GRUNTS) (SNORES) (PANTS) He'll be here till closing, Ted. So are we doing this? Remember the way to this guy's place? Yeah. What are you doing? Insurance. Buying us some time. (CHUCKLES) I love how country folk are so trusting. (BONNET CLICKS) You do recall that cars aren't your thing, right? I know what I'm doing. Come on. Let's go make the easiest money we've ever made. (EXPECTANT MUSIC) (ENGINE STARTS) Sure about this, are you? Absolutely. Once the money's delivered, it's the bank's problem, so they'll all be off for a beer to celebrate a job well done. They're staying at a pub we passed on the way in. Not within cooee of here. I still don't get what's wrong with the old money we've got. Phineas, we explained the decimal system to you on the way down. Money's money, Phineas. It's just newer, that's all. (EXPECTANT MUSIC) And it's all in there, boys, just waiting for us. (MUSIC CONTINUES) There an alarm? Nah. What about dogs? No, Ted. No dogs. Sure about this, are ya? Farmers talk bullshit all the time. Asked around town ` discreetly. They all reckon he's loaded cos he never spends anything. Well, I bloody well hope so. For your sake. (TENSE MUSIC) Oh, yeah, she's a real palace, Lefty (!) If there's no money, Ted, then what's he doing with that? Good work. Yeah. Well, when I do my research, I do it thoroughly. (SIGHS) Unfortunately, your research didn't cover the actual safe. Can't you crack it? 'Course I can, but I need to drill it. You can't do your bloody ear-listening thing? No, not on this model. Well, how long's that gonna take? Well, we've got until closing time, right? Fuck! Are you in the army? No. Not yet. So where'd you get the uniform from? Got my methods. Good thinking. Anyone comes looking when the alarm goes off, you can tell them the army's got it under control. BILKEY: My thinking exactly. This bloke I heard got out of the military service by saying he was one of them gays. How'd that work out for him? Well, he's in prison, but at least he's not in the army. It'd help if we had a gun. No guns. We're not like them stand-over savages. Go. (TAPS VAN) (DRILL WHIRRS) Can't you drill faster? In, out, Ted. The way we've always worked. Working on in, the way I always have. And you should be bloody grateful. (DRILL WHIRRS) I'm doing you a favour here. let's be very clear on that. I could've said no to this job, right? (BLOWS) Right? Yeah, right. Yeah. Coulda told the boys how you screwed us. Hey, I didn't mean to` I coulda let Phineas kick the remaining gonad through the top of your head. Yeah, well, that would've been fitting, wouldn't it, Ted? (SIGHS) (ALARM RINGS) (TENSE MUSIC) (ALARM CONTINUES RINGING) It's OK. It's all under control. We're just testing the alarm. Yeah, just keep walking through. It'll be off in a moment. Don't worry about it. Get them in the van. Why are we taking the coins? Cos the notes are in there. Yeah, but I can crack that. We haven't got time! I didn't come here for bloody coins! One of these boxes is worth hundreds, maybe thousands. (SCOFFS) (TENSE MUSIC INTENSIFIES) (ALARM CONTINUES RINGING) (CLICKING) About bloody time. Lefty, this isn't money. Well, unless there's money hidden behind the insane drivel. Oh, apparently the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is a sign of the coming of the beast (!) As is Bill Rowling, as is Ronald Reagan. Who knew (?) Fuck! Yeah. Couldn't have put it better myself. (TENSE MUSIC) (ALARM RINGS) (CLICKING) Ted, forget it! We have to go! I came here for the bloody money. This is the bloody money. I'm not pissing around with small change. This is my gang; my job. I say what we take. Don't be bloody weak! We came here for the real money. (ALARM CONTINUES RINGING) Fuck. Cops are coming! I thought you said they were miles away. Yeah, well, they're not, are they? (SIGHS) (CLICKING) (SIGHS) We have to fucking go! Shh! Now! If you're gonna do a job like this, you do it bloody properly, make it worth your fucking while! And if you get greedy, you get caught! This is bloody typical of you. He's got money. I know it. Just not in the fucking safe! Get real, Lefty. Just cos you don't have the balls to take the risk. Oh, I've got the balls, all right. Ask Rita. You leave my wife out of this. I was there first, mate. Just saying. The cops are coming! Shit! We go now. (SIGHS ANGRILY) You know what? You've had your shot. You've had plenty of shots, but this is it, mate. You're gone. You are out. Which is what you wanted all along, eh? What? I bloody started this, Ted, or have you fucking forgotten that? I bloody suffered to save you. And what did I get in return, eh? You lording it over me all these fucking years! (COCKS GUN) You're in my fucking house. I'll help you unpack. (ALARM RINGS) Go! Go! Go! (CAR BUNNY-HOPS, TYRES SQUEAL) I said go! I can't. There's too much weight on the back axle. The tyres are hitting the arches. Really thought this through (!) We need to lighten the load or move the coins up front. We haven't got time for that. Well, then we're fucked. I'm gonna leg it, take my chances. I'll meet you where we agreed if we got split up. Me too. (ALARM RINGS, DOG BARKS) (VAN CREAKS, ACCELERATES) Give me one good reason why I shouldn't shoot both of you right now. (GRUNTS) (THUD!) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. One of two things happens now. One ` I shoot you for breaking in and attacking my husband. Two ` we split the money 50/50. Fair deal. And then you drive me to Auckland, away from this fuck-knuckle. What, do you mean there is money? Oh yeah. Well, then, two, right? Definitely two. Yeah, two. But if you think you're having your way with me again... Hang on. Strictly speaking, you were the one who had her way` Yes, Lefty. We're good, OK? Deal. (THE SCREAMING MEEMEES' 'SEE ME GO') (CASH FLUTTERS) (POP MUSIC CONTINUES) (PACKAGE RUSTLES) (MUSIC CONTINUES) When we get to Auckland, you will take me to where my true love lives. His name is Hong. Do you know him? Doesn't ring a bell. He lives in a place called Henderson. With this money we will start many great businesses, and I shall be Mrs Hong. That's nice. I meant to ask ` how come you only got one ball? It's a long story. They got caught. They must have. I don't know. Ted looked pretty handy, like he'd know what to do. We should go before the cops come after us. What about them? (UPBEAT COUNTRY MUSIC) Argh! (MUSIC CONTINUES) (BOTH PANT) Take him. What the hell happened to you guys? Well,... (PANTS) it wasn't pretty. (DOG BARKS) We have to go over the fence. Dog's too close. You go. I'll hold it off. I know how to deal with dogs. But you'll get arrested. My job, my responsibility. I won't give anyone up. Go! Go! (DOG BARKS, SNARLS) (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) Ted! (DOG WHIMPERS) Come on. (GROANS) Oh! Oh, it gets worse. Argh! I can't make it! You go! No fucking way! Come on! (DOG BARKS) Come on! (BARBED WIRE RATTLES) (WHIMPERS) Oh! Come on, man! (CLOTHING RIPS) (SCREAMS) Come on! Come on! (DOG BARKS) Man, I don't know what Russell did wrong in a former life, but the universe sure had it in for him. Come on. (PANTS) Watch that. (ZAP!) (SCREAMS) Oh shit! (SCREAMS) (PANTS) I think I'm bleeding to death. Shh! (DOG BARKS) Come on. Come on! Go! (DOG BARKS) (DOG BARKS) Ted, there's something in the water. Shh! Eel! (DOG BARKS) (GROANS, LAUGHS CRAZILY) (GRUNTS) Come on. We need to get him to a hospital. Oh, hell yeah. It's all right, Russell. We got ya. You're gonna be OK. You're gonna be rich, man. We did it. (THUD!) (SCREAMS) (CAR IDLES) I'll see you later. Do we have to? Yes. You're back. Yep. And? And... having the boys over later. Looking forward to it already (!) Girls get off to school? Yes. You're right. 'Bout what? This bed. Whoever invented the waterbed should be shot. (CHUCKLES) Yes, well, we'll just have to make do, won't we? What? Come with me. You know that I love you, right? Of course. And I wish that I could give you and the girls everything you want. I know. So... you might as well have this. It's American. I can see that. It's from Lefty. (THUD!) (YELLS) Think you can fuck my wife, do ya? (ROCK MUSIC) Presume it's stolen, but I'm buggered if I can figure out from where. If you think I can help you with some sort` No! I would never ask that of you. You know that. I just figure there's no one missing that money, so you might as well have it, if it makes you happy. Cos like I say, I love you. And we need a new bed. (CHUCKLES) And we will put that bed... to great use. You have my word. There you are, love. Thank you. You're late. You know that thing I said about the Krugerrands? Well, just forget I spoke. I already did. Good. (HUMS) Why are you suddenly happy? The love of a good man, Rita. (JAY EPAE'S '15 GIRL FRIENDS') We don't get it all at once? No, Phineas. I'll use my job at the post office to change the coins into actual banknotes. But it'll take some time, OK? Just think of it like a wage, Phineas. Do we get it in the new money or the old money? Does it matter? It's money, and we bloody stole it. (ALL LAUGH, CLINK GLASSES) Cheers. And it almost went without a hitch. Except for me almost fucking it up. Doesn't matter now. It does to me. I owe you one. Interesting choice of words after Lefty here losing a nut. Hey, don't call me Lefty. That's what you are now. Yeah, but I don't like it, OK? Well, you'll get used to it. (LAUGHTER) I suppose having a boy's off the list now. Well, three girls is more than enough. To the first of many jobs, boys. Exactly what I was gonna say. (GLASSES CLINK) ALL: Cheers. Yay, more parties like this. I'll bring the sausage rolls. (BARBECUE SIZZLES) Cheers, Rita. Always the best. Here, Phin. I thought we wasn't getting South African money for ages. This isn't South African money. It's a job Ted and I did. Without telling us? This is the money we're getting instead of the rest of the South African money, because... that money is gone. CHUCKLES: Gone where? Gone, gone. How can it be gone? Just is. Did you fuckin' steal our money? He didn't steal the money. Says who? Him? Yeah. And I believe him. Got conned out of it, OK? By this guy who I thought was gonna change it for me. You lost all of it? Yeah. Sorry. (CHUCKLES) Sorry. You better be fucking sorry. Yeah. What about the rest of the money that we was gonna get? It's gone, Phineas. Lefty here has lost it. Just like he's gonna lose his other fucking gonad if he doesn't find it again. It's gone. I can't get it back. Don't you think I would if I could? I need that money! I've got a mortgage now! I have money for ya. Here. What the hell is this? It's the leftovers from our very first job. You remember that? That one didn't exactly go according to plan either, did it? And Lefty here sacrificed way more than any of us that night. Do you remember? It was years ago. So? The point is it didn't go according to plan either. Shit, I was the one almost cocked it up that night, from memory. We all make mistakes. Some of them are just bigger than others. We got away with the South African money. No, we didn't. No job's complete until the getaway's done, until the last of the money's in our hands. Yes, Lefty screwed up this time; yes, we should all be pissed off with him. But all this really means is we have to get back to work sooner than we thought. We have to get back to doing what we do best, as a gang. OK? Yeah, OK. Do we get that? Yeah. Are we cool with that? Yeah. Now we're square. (THIN LIZZY'S 'THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN') Time to get busy, boys. (BOTTLES CLINK) Cheers. # The boys are back in town. # The boys are back in town. # I said the boys are back in town. Hey, hey, slow down, OK. # The boys are back in town. (EXCLAIMING) This is bullshit. You don't need anyone, except me. Dump her, Wolf. She's trouble. (SLAP!) Argh! Is this like a kidnapping? Yes, this is exactly like a kidnapping. You have a visitor. Gidday, Rita. Do not treat me like I'm an idiot. This better be fuckin' important, dragging me halfway across town.
