Okay. Thank you very much.

Merry Christmas.

- Good night.
- Good night.

If you're not back in
before Christmas,

have a nice one.

Thank you.

Long day.

'Tis the season to be jolly.

I was wondering...

if you'd care to have a drink after?

No. I would, Miles,
but I'm busy tonight.

I'll take a rain check, though.

Rain check.

Look.

Don't let me keep you
from your little doodles.

Nice?

Listen, Cullen,

I've got a little something
going this evening.

A problem's come up,

and I've got to put in
a quick appearance at home.

I wondered if you wouldn't mind
helping me out

and taking Julie over
to the Hyatt Regency,

keeping her company
just till I get there.

Julie?

Have a couple of drinks on me.

What is it?

It's a holocanthus tricolor.

I've had one on order
for six weeks.

May I?

- I'm sorry.
- Thank you.

Do you come here often?

Not especially. You?

Never been before,

but I've heard a lot about it.

I don't like the way
they look at you

like a heifer coming in
through the gate.

I didn't know
about you and Packard.

How long have the two
of you been seeing...

Not long.

Okay, sure. I'll have a...

Are you sure you know
what you're doing?

Am I sure?

No.

I was just wondering.

I wonder why you wonder.

It's not my place to criticize.

You're criticizing.

Sorry.

Are you criticizing me
for what I'm doing

or for who I'm doing it with?

Let's just drop it.

No, I'm interested.

Look, if I waited until I was sure
before I did something,

I'd end up not doing anything.

What did you say
that was called?

What?

In the bag.

The one you're going home with.

An angelfish.

Angelfish. That's right.

Where did you say it came from?

The Caribbean.

My.

What an interesting hobby.

That really must be a fascinating way
to pass your time.

Have you done it for long?

Yes.

Well, you two having a good time?

Terrific.

Well, I guess I'll be running along.

Stay and have another
drink if you like.

Thank you, no.

It's getting late.

I'd better get my date back home.

See you tomorrow.

- Sure.
- Bye, Cullen.

Good night.

If you don't mind my
saying so, Cullen,

I think there's a little too much cash
on the floor these days.

It's Wednesday.

Yes, I know. In general.

It's Christmas.
You know how...

I know.

How did we end up yesterday?

34-35,000.

Well, Cullen, that's too much.

By the way,

my wife and I would like to see all of you

at a little Christmas
party we're giving.

Sunday night be all right with you?

- Sunday's fine.
- Good.

Would you mind bringing
Julie along with you?

I'd just as soon she
didn't show up alone.

If it's okay with Julie,
it's okay with me.

It'll be fine with Julie.

And I keep the receipts
to the safety deposit boxes...

here...

under lock and key.

If you ever need
the keys, which are here,

you come to me for them, right?

He looks interesting.

Miles?

- Well?
- He's nice.

That's it? Nice?
Come on.

He collects fishes.

What?

Let's just say, in his case,

that the total is somewhat less

than the sum of the parts.

Thank you.

Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Thank you. Thank you.
Merry Christmas.

Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Thank you. Thank you.
Merry Christmas.

Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Thank you. Thank you.
Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

Hi, Frank.

Hello, Cullen.

How are you, Mr. Fogelman?

Busy as hell.

Thank God.

Even with the rain.

I guess we can forget
about a white Christmas.

Say, a couple of your people

came in for lunch
a few minutes ago.

There was a blonde with them?

Tits out to here.

Louise. She's new.

$4,206.

I thank you.

Good afternoon. First Bank of Toronto.

Santa, Santa!
I want a pelican and a train.

You do, do you?

- Will I get them?
- Yes. Yes.

- Will I really get them?
- Percy.

- Both of them?
- Percy.

Mom, Santa's gonna
give me everything I want,

and he's got goodies
in his pocket.

Not now, kid.

- That's enough.
- Percy.

Mom, Santa's gonna...

I don't think so, dear.

Mom, Santa's gonna give
me everything I want.

Go ahead, I left my
checkbook at home.

Thank you.

Imagine, a Santa Claus
who doesn't seem to like children.

Hello.

Julie, it's Miles.

Hi.

There's something I want
to talk to you about.

Did I catch you at a bad time?

A little.

Someone's there?

Sorry.

All right. Then savings withdrawal...

Notice anything new?

Mistletoe.

It's cute.

Everyone else has had a turn.

Don't let your emotions
run away with you.

Good morning.

I'd like to cash this.

$550?

Do you have identification?

Driver's license.

Louise, would you check
the balance in this account.

Merry Christmas. First Bank of Toronto.

Sorry for the delay.

You want to go to lunch?

No. You go ahead.

Good. I got something to attend to.

Mr. Cullen.

Mr. Fogelman.

Thank you, Cullen.

Merry Christmas.

Same to you.

First Bank of Toronto. Merry Christmas.

I'd like to deposit these.

Certainly.

All of it.

That's all there is.

Look, I saw him
make the deposit.

Give me the money, fucker.

Hey, you!

What the hell?

Stop! Police!

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey! Hey!

We feed him what little
information we have:

Eye color, estimated height,

Robbery while in possession
of a firearm,

Wearing a disguise.
The computer does the rest.

I was quite a way away.
The beard makes it difficult.

Well?

No, not really. But it
was something like this.

Is that all?

Yeah. Easy to see
why he was long gone

by the time
the squad car got there.

What do you mean?

The alarm went off
in the station

the same instant
the camera started.

Seconds later,
he was out the door.

Why did you wait
so long to push it?

I don't know.

I didn't push it, actually.

- What is it, the clip?
- Yes.

What do you mean, "the clip?"

You tell him.

There's a wire clip
that presses down

on a particular stack of bills

in the cash drawer.

In my drawer,
it's on the hundreds.

If you pull out all of the bills,

the clip makes contact
with a metal plate,

completing an electrical circuit,

and the silent alarm
and camera are activated.

No one else in the bank
knows you're being robbed?

I do. A red light
goes on by my desk.

I'm operations officer.

Getting back to the clip,

wouldn't the idea be to give
him those bills first?

Give the police as much
time as possible?

I suppose so. Yes.

Yet you gave him...
Was it the hundreds?

You gave him the hundreds last?

I don't know why I did that.
I didn't think.

Don't forget, there was
a gun pointing at him.

- But you didn't know that then.
- What?

He didn't take the pistol out
till later over by the door.

He said he had a gun. The note.

That's right. The note.

Is that about it?

Yes.

Still can't get over the amount
of money at your window.

Almost $50,000.

The money on the floor
has been running very high lately.

Yet if he'd gone to any
of the other windows,

He'd have only gotten
a fraction of that.

It's no secret I'm the vault teller.

Every merchant who banks
with us knows that.

Maybe. Anyway, it confirms my feeling
we're after a professional.

Hey.

Don't forget your briefcase.

Right.

Does it get you in the same way?

Do you feel excited?

Me, too.

I wouldn't have missed it.

I mean, it was terrible, of course.

I know what you mean. I do.

This afternoon, shortly after 1:00,

the First Bank of Toronto...

Hey, Freddy. Telephone.

Was held up by a fat
bearded man in a red suit.

Santa Claus. As he was
making his getaway,

sudden gunfire erupted,
and the bogus Santa Claus

shot it out with the bank
security guard, Frank Johnson.

When did you first notice
something was wrong?

As he was leaving Cullen's window,

he collided with a woman.
I called out to him,

but he ignored me
when I told him to halt.

That's when he started shooting.

Did he fire the first shot?

Yes.

Isn't it unusual for a security guard
to carry a weapon?

Cash business. Restaurants, shops.

Does the bank have any policy

about when a security guard
should use his weapon?

Exactly how much was stolen?

$48,350.

Yes, it is. But as vault teller,

I'm in charge of all of the money
kept on the floor at any one time.

Is there any strategy
you're supposed to use

in the event of a robbery?

Well, I'm afraid I'm not at liberty...

$48,350...

Mr. Cullen, do you still
believe in Santa Claus?

Jesus, Frank. You almost killed her.

You've gone too far
this time, Reikle.

They called the cops.

Really?

Congratulations
on your television debut.

- Thank you.
- Thank heavens you're still here, Mr. Cullen.

Don't worry about it.
I would have done the same thing myself.

Would you
excuse me for a moment?

Notice how photogenic our teller is?

I'd like to be relieved at the counter.

They're lining up to stare at me.

Why don't I change places
with Julie for a while?

What the hell is
Simonsen doing out there?

There you are.

A Hollywood film company
is said to be interested

with the bank's
photogenic head teller,

Miles Cullen playing the
all-important male lead.

Excuse me. I need
the keys to your file

and the card index drawer.

- Which one?
- The safety deposit box receipts.

- Thanks.
- Okay.

- How do you want it?
- Fives, please.

1, 2...

You're over here today. You look great on TV.

Thank you.

I need to get into
my safety deposit box.

All right.

Shall we?

Charmed.

This won't take very long.

Take your time.

- There. That didn't take very long, did it?
- Not at all.

You know, you really do
photograph rather well.

Merry Christmas, Father.

Silent Night. 1, 2...

- Miles?
- Yes.

Come on up.
I won't be a second.

- Miles?
- Yes.

There's some wine
in the fridge if you want.

Are we terribly late?

Not really.

All right. I'm ready.

Is something the matter?

No.

I guess we should be going.

Are they a thing now?

I think it's love.

- Hi.
- How you doing?

- Hi, Miles.
- Hi, Louise.

Forgive the glove.

- Fine, thanks. How are you?
- Lovely.

- How's it going?
- Not bad.

Merry Christmas, Louise.
Merry Christmas.

- Hi.
- Merry Christmas.

Simonsen. Cullen.

Dear, I'd like
you to meet Louise.

- How do you do?
- Louise, I'm glad you could come.

And Simonsen.

Hello. It's nice to see you again.

And you know Julie Carver.

Merry Christmas.

And, of course, Cullen.

Well, he's here.

I'll give you three guesses
what we've been talking about.

We want to hear the whole story.

After which, we promise
to drop the subject.

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

What's he going to do
with all that lovely money?

Tax-free.

I know what I'd do. Everything.

I think everybody should
try everything at least once.

Everything?

Well, within reason.

What would you do?

After all, you're the one
who had his hands on it.

I would put it in the bank.

Why, Miles,
where's your imagination?

Surely there's something you want.

- There is.
- What?

An oscillated puffer.

A what?

A blowfish.

There's a really fine specimen
down at Ron's Aquarium Shop.

Did you mean
what you said before

about trying everything once?

Well, I'm kind of drunk,

but if I said it, I guess
I must have meant it.

I think your husband is very
angry with me, Mrs. Packard.

- Vivian.
- Vivian.

He'll get over it.

You know, Charles underestimates you.

Are you the type people
usually underestimate?

We had a wonderful time.

Anyone wanna smoke a number?

Sure. You got some?

In my purse. I left it
in the bathroom.

I'll go.

It's upstairs,
first door on your left.

First door on the left.

Don't, mind me.

If I don't come back with the grass,
they'll just send someone else.

So what did you think of her?

What did I think of her? Who?

Vivian.

Vivian? Very nice.

She certainly seemed
to like you a lot.

Do you think she knows?

I mustn't do over 40.

I think she takes it
as a matter of course

that he should...

have his little affairs
every now and then.

Are you in love with him?

Yes. No.

I don't know.

One...

One hopes. Otherwise,
it's all so pointless.

It's a good thing he gave
me you to look after me.

Thanks.

I hope you don't mind stairs.

We're all the way at the top.

Does anyone really
know you, Miles?

Don't you know me?

I thought I knew you,
but you've changed.

Or I underestimated you.

Why are you smiling?

Well, that's the second time tonight

I've been told
I was underestimated.

Vivian.

But it's true.
You've changed.

May I consider that a compliment?

Yes.

Do you know what I meant

when I said before
about things being pointless?

I think so.

Eating. Sleeping. Drinking.

Working at the bank.

My life is just slipping away.

If I don't grab every moment...

What would you do with it? If you had it.

Money, I mean.

Well, I'm not sure.

It's not that much, really.

I mean, you just couldn't live
on it forever, could you?

But what would you do?

Well... I'd wait a while,

to make sure
nobody suspected me.

And then I'd go away somewhere.

Far away.

I suppose I'd use the money
to buy myself another chance.

It's just a daydream.

Nice daydream.

Would there be a room in it for two?

What is it?

You look exceptionally
lovely tonight.

I think...

that must be your imagination.

No, I wanted to
tell you earlier.

But you didn't.

Is that something you
wanted to do earlier, too?

That's something
I've always wanted to do.

Well, you may be taking...

advantage.

I never thought I'd be
doing this with you.

How does it feel?

Terrific.

Hello.

Hello?

Think of a number.

What?

Think of 48,350.

You must have the wrong number.

He's looking for a girl.

You're doing it to her
like you did it to me.

You still have the wrong number.

Persistent, isn't he?

Yes.

Good idea.

Now... where were we?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

We have had quite a bit to drink.

I'm not so sure
we should be doing this.

I don't understand you, Miles.

And I'm not sure I want to.

Don't move. I know my way.

Good night.

Did you get her home all right?

She's very attractive.

Who is this?

That's the beautiful part of it, isn't it?

I know who you are,
but you're in the dark.

Well, not totally in the dark.

I left your light on for you.

By the way,
do you have much luck

with those chess problems?

Look, why don't you
come over to the window

and open the curtains,

and then we can
have a look at each other?

Go on. Open them.

If you have something
to say, say it.

Otherwise I'm hanging up.

Don't hang up now, pal.

I'm running low on dimes,

and I'd just have
to come up there,

and I don't want to do that yet.

Now, first, we're gonna try
to talk things over...

reasonably. All right?

Now come over to the window.

That's better.

I mean, we're friends.
You know that? Friends.

I mean it.

You know, you're kind of
remarkable, you know that?

I don't know how you
managed to pull it off.

But I guess you're gonna
have to tell me one of these days.

But we worked it together, didn't we?

I mean, we ran
the same risks, didn't we?

We're... We're partners.

I'm going to call the police.

And what are you
going to tell them?

Besides, do you see this?

Come on.

You don't think I'm going to shoot you
from here, do you?

I hope you didn't go to
any trouble on my account.

I'm not gonna
break the door down.

I'm just going to give you a little time
to try and be reasonable.

If you decide you're not
going to be reasonable,

then one night,
when you come home,

you'll find me on the inside...

waiting for you.

That'll be the night you'll
wish you'd never been born.

Something for Cullen.

- Cullen.
- Hello, partner.

Get my pretty postcard?

Just put it in an envelope

and enclose one of
the usual deposit slips.

There we go.

A talent for improvisation.

I like that.

Of course you can.

We're used to it that way. Good-bye.

Girlfriend?

Get Julie home all right last night?

Of course. Why?

Just wondering.

- Cullen.
- You've got my money, and I want it. Now!

No, sir. We're open the day before Christmas
as usual. Good-bye.

I'm sorry about the pretty fish.

- We've got to meet, you and I.
- Meet?

Yes. We can't go on like this, can we?

No, we can't.

I'm not letting you
sleep on it this time.

Shall I come up,
or will you come down?

Okay, you can come up.

It's me.

Go fuck yourself.

Hey! Hey! My truck!

I'm calling about an old pal of yours.

Who is this?

Cut the crap! He's got a gun.

He stole a van tonight.
A delivery van.

It's parked at 611 Winston
in Cabbagetown.

He's inside, but you better
get your ass moving.

What's his name?

Don't worry, you'll recognize
him when you see him.

He's an old pal, but be careful.

He's got the rod on him. Bye.

Rod. Jesus.

Come on. Get your hands off me!

Do you think
I'd be stupid enough

to park a van in front of my own...

Okay, just tell us
about it downtown.

Say they've got someone?

Not exactly. We picked up someone
we were looking for on another charge.

He's kind of a weirdo,

but good old-fashioned
armed robbery is one

of the things he's
indulged in in the past.

I feel there's a chance
he's our man.

Now, you'll see five men
standing in a row.

One of them's our suspect.

The question is whether
you can recognize our man.

Don't worry, they won't
be able to see you. Okay?

Take your time.

Take a good look
at each one of them.

Number 5 bore
a certain resemblance.

Number 5 or Number 2?

They looked just like each other.

But it wasn't Number 2, either.

The strange thing
is that even though I'm sure.

Number 2 isn't the man,

I feel as though I've seen
that man somewhere before.

Mr. Cullen, your powers of
observation are very good.

You have seen that man before.

We showed you a picture of him

the last time you were here.

But you're sure he wasn't
the one in the bank.

I'm afraid I am.

Well, it was a chance.

He's done this kind of thing before,

and when we picked him up,
he was carrying a gun.

You'd been looking
for him on another charge?

Yeah.

Beat up and raped a teenager.

How'd you find him?

A friend of his
played a joke on him.

What'll happen to him?

Not enough.

Would you like to go to dinner?

Yes, Miles. I would.

But I'm not going to.

I don't know why you behaved
as you did the other evening.

You chose not to explain,

and I'm choosing not
to repeat the experience.

We just work at the same bank.

That's a nice girl.

Yes, she is.

Have a nice Christmas Eve,
Mr. Cullen.

Same to you, Frank.

Merry Christmas.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,

with sure and certain
hope of the resurrection

through eternal life
through our Lord Jesus Christ

who shall change our mortal body

that it may be like
unto His glorious body

accorded the mighty
working whereby

he is able to subdue
all things to himself.

- Are you all right now?
- Yes, thank you.

I'm not sure you remember me.

Elaine Muriel.

I work at the nursing home.

I'm not sure I remember.

Well, we only met in the doorway
once or twice.

I work nights.

It's very nice of you to have come.

I will come along one day
and lay some flowers.

Your father was very special.

Can I drop you someplace?

You mustn't bother.

Please, let me drive you.
I could use the company.

All right. Bother me
to my subway stop.

Tell me more about my father.

I'm afraid I can't, really.

Just that he was a sweet person.

Modest, somehow.

I grew very fond of him.

And you know he was
very fond of you.

Is your job at the nursing home
on a permanent basis?

It's just a part-time job.
I'm studying.

To be what?

I don't know.

That's why I like my duty.

You see, my time is left
pretty much to myself.

It was very nice of you
to give me a lift.

No problem.

We'll finish up here and go to lunch?

Mr. Cullen!
What you do here now?

Mrs. Evanchuk,
I forgot this was your day.

I finish in a few minutes.

What did you do with everything
in the refrigerator?

What did you say?

The refrigerator. What happened?

I cleaned it out.

Well, what did you do
with everything that was in it?

It was all old and moldy.

Where is it?

I threw it in the garbage.

My God!

I not throw away anything good!

Wait!

"The subterranean vault
will be surrounded

"by 2,000 cubic yards
of impenetrable reinforced concrete.

"And yet it is also a building
of such grace and beauty

that it will stand as a source of civic pride
for all times to come."

Absolutely.

Sounds more like
a tombstone to me.

But that's what's so impressive.

2,000 cubic yards of cement.

Hi.

- Hello, Miles.
- How have you been?

Fine. You?

Good.

By the way,

a man telephoned
when you were at lunch,

all upset because
he'd lost the keys

to his safety deposit box.

He only had to come to me.

You'll both be coming Saturday, won't you?

Of course.

Good. I'm kind of nervous.

Is there any way of getting
around the locksmith approach?

The locksmith,
when someone's lost their keys.

I call in the locksmith,

he opens the box,
he puts in a new lock.

What way around there
could there be?

Beautiful, isn't it?

Hello.

May I?

Please.

What brings you here?

I often come to walk
and get away from things.

- And you?
- The same.

I saw you earlier,

but you looked like
you wanted to be alone.

Perhaps you still do?

No.

Care for a drink?

Were you thinking
about your father?

He used to bring me here.

I know. He told me.

- He told you?
- Yes.

You know, I've experienced
the same thing.

When you lose someone,

you want to think about
everything you can remember.

Do you always carry a bottle?

Not always.

Do you feel the way I do
after a long walk?

I always feel like
being with someone.

When you feel that way,
what do you do?

Go someplace.

And are the chances good?

One can be lucky.

Well, if we both went
to the same place,

we'd both be certain
of being lucky.

Was that an invitation?

Of course. Of course
that was an invitation.

The bill, sir.

Trust you enjoyed your meal.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- How old are you?
- 22.

Family?

What's left...
back in France.

Miles.

Yes?

It's a stuffy name.

I suppose so.

It doesn't suit you.

I know something about you.

You do?

I saw you on television.

Your father was
very proud of you.

Proud? Of what?

The way you dealt with it.

How did it feel?
Can you remember?

When he stood there
pointing his gun at you,

what did you feel?

Scared.

I was afraid.

It must have been exciting.

It was.

You were terrific on television.

I'm afraid I fell for you completely.

It must be late.

I should be getting to work.

Let me drop you.

If you like.

But I don't still work
at the nursing home.

Couldn't take it anymore.

Where do you work now?

You'll see.

Freddy's the owner.

Turned this into a private club.

Who is Freddy?

Nobody knows very much
about Freddy.

Who are the people with Freddy?

Friends of Freddy.

Would you like
to go to a wedding?

Are you proposing?

No.

Smile!

- Getting bored?
- No.

- Hello.
- Hello.

I don't think you've met.

This is Elaine. Julie.

Hello. Miles.

Hey, Cullen!

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

- Are you two going away?
- Damn right.

We're going to
Lake Louise for 10 days.

It was her parents' idea.

How will the bank
get along without you,

without both of you?

They'll manage okay
with Cullen here.

You'll notice Packard
didn't see fit to show up.

Quite an afternoon.

And none too soon.

We couldn't have kept this a secret

too much longer, could we?

Little too much
Christmas celebration.

And that's something
to really drink to.

We gotta get going.
Have a good time, everybody.

Would you care to dance?

- She's lovely.
- Isn't she?

And young?

You dirty old man.

Is that the one
who sent the cute card?

No.

All the better.

Bye! Bye!

Bye!

What are you thinking?

How much I would like
to make love with you.

Really?

Yeah.

Most people would never say it.

You are an unusual man.

No.

Why do you laugh?

Nobody every thought about me
like that before.

Maybe you've changed.

Maybe.

What do you think about
what I'm thinking?

You really want to know?

Really?

Why'd you do that?

I like it better in the dark.

Well, you unplugged
the air pump.

The fish might have died.

Maybe they'd be better off.

You think they like being
kept in a glass cage?

I don't think they think about it.

- Doesn't that hurt?
- A little.

Who are you?

What do you mean?

Just what I said.

Who are you, and what
do you want from me?

I don't understand.

I called the nursing home,

and they never heard of you.

Which means you had no business
being at my father's funeral,

which means it wasn't
just a coincidence our meeting in the park.

Now what do you want?

What do you think I want?

I have no idea.

He telephoned you.

You were by the window.

He was down in the street.

You did not identify him
as the one who robbed your bank

because you knew
he'd talk if you did.

But didn't it occur to you
that he might send somebody

to watch after his interests
while he's locked up?

Frankly, yes,
it did occur to me.

He warned me you were smart.

We never did figure out
how you pulled it off.

We?

How much does "we" mean?

We were enjoying ourselves
a little while ago.

Well...

it isn't so difficult
to enjoy yourself.

Sometimes it's better
if you just like someone.

Nothing more than that.

Like someone and have
a little something in common.

- Like money?
- Yes.

Well, I have all the money.

But there is something
you want from me.

There is.

You could have dropped me
when you found out I was lying.

It would have been easy enough?

You want to tell me about it?

Not yet.

You fucked us both, didn't you?

Yes.

You let us think we were
getting away with it,

and all the time
you were fucking us.

Yes.

First him and then me.

Yes.

I love it.

Something wrong?

I don't know.

Is there supposed to be
something wrong?

I don't know.

You don't know?

I feel there's something
you haven't told me.

Like what?

I don't know.

I don't know where the money is.

It's too soon.

He doesn't suspect?

Not at all.

I'm the nice girl
who used to take care of his father.

I think he likes me.

And you?

I like you.

You'll see him again?

When?

All the time.

Tonight.

He will tell me soon.

I know he will.

Yeah.

Okay. Get out.

He's good at it.

Isn't he?

Not like you.

Nobody's like you.

Your relief's here.

1:30 already?

Miles, why don't we
have lunch together?

I better look after things here.

Nothing's happening.

We could talk.

I better stay here, really.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Excuse me.
I have a problem.

Come in and sit down.

I don't know where to start.

I'm so embarrassed.

Just relax and keep your back to Berg
as much as possible.

She's the one I'm worried about.

She really looked me over
at that wedding.

Julie won't be back until 2:30.

Now you can take the receipt out of your bag.

Are you sure?
Are you absolutely sure?

I've looked everywhere.

You realize we will have
to call in a locksmith.

Stop smiling.

I'm sorry.

A locksmith?
Can't you just open the box?

It takes both keys,
the bank's and yours.

The locksmith will open it up,

and then he'll put in a new lock.

I'd like to help get
into her box?

How silly I've been.
I'm terribly ashamed.

Excuse me. This is our
bank manager Mr. Packard.

Miss Hartman.

I'm afraid she's lost the keys to her safe
deposit box.

Both of them?

They were hidden
in the same place.

The box receipt's
in her name only?

Pardon me, but we've had wives
try that a couple of times.

I am not a wife.

The receipt's in her name,
and the signature tallies.

I've already checked
her driver's license.

What time is Julie
back from lunch?

2:30.

Maybe you should take the time
to have one more look for the keys.

No! I'm sorry, but it's very
important I get the box open.

There are letters inside.
Personal letters.

I see.

I need to have access to them
for personal reasons.

Go ahead. Call the locksmith.

I think he's over on Queen Street.

This won't take very long.

- Thank you very much.
- Good luck.

Where the hell is he?

Should we forget it?
I could just go.

Damn it! Busy.

He keeps staring at me.

I'll try again.

Mr. Perlman.

Sorry. Some customers
came in. I got held up.

Hello.

Hello. Lost your keys?

I'm so embarrassed.

Don't be. That's why
we're in business.

This one right over here. 135.

- 135.
- 135. Yes.

- Do you have the bank's key?
- Yes.

It'll only take me a minute now.

I will just make sure
that everything's here.

Did you get it open all right?

- Yep.
- Good.

There. I told you

we'd take good care
of you, now didn't I?

Yes, you did.

Are those the letters?

Silly, isn't it?

He'll put the new lock in,
then give you your key.

I presume you will
want to be returning

your valuables
to your safe deposit box.

You will want to return
your valuables

to your box, won't you?

Don't you trust me?

We made an agreement.

So you are
returning your valuables

to your safe deposit box.

Yes.

- All set?
- Yep.

Thank you.

Mrs. Hartman.

I trust you.

Great. Now get
the hell out of here.

- Copies.
- Right.

I haven't seen you
in here before, have I?

I only come in now and again.
To put something in.

Excuse me.

Well, we are a very friendly bank.

Julie.

- Julie, I have to talk to you.
- What is it?

It's us. You and me.

Us? What about us?

We have to grab
each moment as it comes.

Isn't that what you said?

What's got into you?

We've got to stop
kidding ourselves.

There's more going on between us

than we've admitted,
even to ourselves.

Even supposing that's true,

what are we gonna do about it?

Well, we...

we grab each moment,
and we make it count.

Miles.

I'm sorry.

I'm not.

Can we talk tonight?

I can't tonight, Julie,
but soon.

How soon?

Julie, you should
be getting back.

They'll start to wonder.

I don't believe you.

Can I call you?

I don't know.

I don't know anything.

I really don't.

To success.

Our success.

And now?

I find myself doing things

I never would have
dreamed I was capable of.

Aren't you forgetting something?
Someone?

Not for a minute.

When he gets out,
I'll make a deal.

What kind of a deal?

We'll split the money.
The three of us.

On one condition:

That we never hear
from him again, either of us.

You're sweet, Cullen.
But you're so naive.

He's going to take
the money. All of it.

And then he's gonna
kill you just for fun,

and he'll laugh
while he's doing it.

And then he's gonna kill me,
too, when he finds out.

You keep saying kill.

He's done it before. Twice.

You see, it's not
a game with him.

Then what made you?
If you're so afraid of him...

Why would I go with you?

Yes.

I guess I want to change.

Well, you could go away.

No.

I will see it through with you.

You've outsmarted him twice.

Maybe you'll do it again.

And then I'll go away
if you still want me to.

Is it her? Julie?

What's that for?

I want you to have it.

- I trust you.
- I know you do.

I just want you to have it.

You'll know where it is.

This way, you can come...

and get it any time you want.

And there's something else.

I've decided to get rid
of my aquarium.

- No, I want you to keep it.
- Why?

Because every time
you look at those fish,

you'll think of me.

Excuse me a minute.
I'm going to freshen up.

Hey.

What's the matter?

You're not glad to see me?

Of course.

But how...

How did I...
Just like that.

Magic.

Freddy worked on the girl,

got her to drop the charges

and to say she lied.

But why did Freddy didn't tell me?

And why didn't you?

I don't know.

I suppose I thought it might
be better to surprise you.

Another bottle, sir?

No, not yet.

That bastard. I should have
killed that prick a long time ago.

I look forward to that

even more
than the goddamned money!

He's gonna get a surprise
when he comes through that door.

Well, what are you waiting for?

I won't do it.

I can't go on with this.

Why?

Because I'm different now.

My life has changed.

You've had it with him
right here, haven't you?

Yes. Right here.

We made love for the first time.

Here, on the floor.

- How was it?
- Very nice, actually.

Finished with you. I've had...

Finished with me?

Well, I'm not finished with you.

I knew it. I knew it.
It's him, isn't it?

It's him! That bastard!

First the money, and now you.

He's part of it,
but mostly it's you and me.

You know, don't you?

You know where the money is,

and you won't tell me, you bitch!

You won't fuck me!
You won't tell...

Damn!

Hello.

Hello.

Now... we've each...

had our little joke...

at the other's expense.

Where are you!

God damn it!

Where are you!

Listen to me,
you fucking bastard.

I'm gonna kill you,
so help me God.

Miles...

is that you?

What is it?

Are you all right?
What's happened?

Julie, I thought it was somebody else.

My aquarium. Somebody pulled the plug out
and the pump wasn't on.

Are the fish all right?

Yes. They're dead.

My God.
Miles, I'm so sorry.

That's all right. They're better off.

You don't mean that.

Yes, I do.

I think if they had their choice,
they'd prefer it the way it is.

Julie, can I talk
to you tomorrow?

Sure.

Damn tassle.

You're clever, pal.

There's no doubt about it. You're clever.

I mean, even if they knew

she was down there,

they'd never get her out
from under that foundation.

- Vault.
- What?

It's a subterranean vault

surrounded by 2,000 cubic yards
of reinforced concrete.

Yeah, you're clever, all right.

There's no doubt about that.

What's the matter?
You hurt your leg?

That's too bad.

Things were going pretty much
in your direction, I guess,

but I guess things
have changed, haven't they?

First the girl, now your leg.

That's too bad.

I feel as though
I know you very well.

Then you know
I'm ready to kill you.

Yeah.

I want the money,
all of it, and no bullshit.

How do I know
you won't kill me anyway?

You don't.

You're still one up in
this little game of yours.

It's not a game anymore!

You're damn right it isn't,
and it never was.

Why?

All she had to do

was tell me where the money was,

and you'd be dead
instead of her.

The money is at the bank.

The bank.

It's in a safety deposit box.

The bank.

Well, you get it.

You get it and have it
at your apartment tonight.

No. Not that way.

It'll be at the bank
at my counter.

Come on, pal. You're not stupid.

You know I can't go
back to the bank.

Somebody might recognize me.

If you dress up like Santa Claus.

I'm not meeting you alone.

How soon can you
have it at your window?

As soon as the bank opens.

Don't come in then.
Wait an hour or two

until the bank's not so crowded,

and I want you
to know one thing.

If I ever see you again, I'll kill you.

Hey, pal.
That's no way to talk.

You know that. We're partners. You know that.

First the robbery,
now the murder.

We're partners.
We always have been.

She knew, didn't she?

I mean, she knew all the time
where the money was, didn't she?

Yes, she knew.

She even had the keys
to the safety deposit box.

Yes.

- Pleasant trip, Louise?
- Yes, we had...

Would you excuse us
for a minute?

I have to get into
my safety deposit box.

Thank you very much.

I didn't know you had a box.

Looking a little ragged
today, aren't we, Cullen?

You know, lately, Cullen,

I've been wondering
about your attitude:

Your attitude toward banking...

your attitude
toward your co-workers.

I don't think
I need to remind you

of the tremendous
responsibility we have.

There is nothing more
important than banking,

and our attitude must
reflect that attitude.

We're the ones
that handle the money,

and there's nothing more
important than that.

Julie.

What's wrong?

Wrong? Why would
anything be wrong?

Things have kind of
come to a head lately,

but then again,
I have been wanting

to leave the world of banking
for some time now.

- Miles...
- I'll find a new place.

Someplace where I can...

Miles, what are you
talking about?

I'm leaving.

You're leaving?

I was wondering...

I was wondering if...

Go on.

You would go with me.

What?

I want you to go with me, Julie.

Are you kidding?

Come with me, Julie.

The people are here.

Shall I go?

Good morning, Miles.

Mrs. Skinner.

Mr. Donaldson.

How do you do?

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Can I have change
for a 50, please?

Would you like singles?

That's fine, thanks.

Thanks very much.

You should have
waited until later

when there are fewer
people in the bank.

Give it to me.

What are you waiting for?
Give it to me.

Take it easy.

Give it to me.

Anybody looking?

It's all there.

It better be.

And Cullen...

I'll be seeing you
one of these days.

What do you mean?

Guess.

- What's that?
- It's your interest. Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Do you think the printing
looks like yours?

I did it all from memory.

We couldn't just leave it
there, could we?

Don't shoot!
Please, don't shoot!

Please, please!
Careful, Frank!

Be careful, he's got a gun.

- Please! Please!
- Shut up! Shut up!

He's got a gun, Frank!

What if Cullen's hit?

All right.

Stop right there.

Are you all right?

- Where is she?
- She vanished.

- Is she dead?
- I don't know.

My God.

What?

He gave... me...

He gave me...

the bank...

bank's...

money.

What the hell did you
expect him to give you?

His own money?

Help me!

Get an ambulance!
Get a doctor or something.

$2,821.

Not much to die for.

Lieutenant, look at this.

Yeah. "I have a gun.
Put all the cash in the bag."

Like last time,
only a different disguise.

Who says lightning
doesn't strike twice?

I guess the poor bastard thought
it was his lucky bank.

Wait. Wait a minute.

Wait. Where is she?

No, wait. Wait a second.
Where is she?

Wait... Don't take me
away yet. Where is she?

I always wondered what it
felt like to be shot.

It hurts a lot.

He could have killed you.
Why did you do it?

Well, I'll tell you
all about it sometime.

Sometime when?

When I get to know you better.

That's going to be
sooner than you think.

You'd better not.

Miles, I have something for you.

And that's not all.

You looked inside?

You remember that daydream?

Yes.

So do I.

Well, that means...

from now on...

Yes. From now on.
