door. We’ll be in and out in no time. Also there’s
enough money in there for us both. Serious money in
there. But we need to know more. We need to know
about the people who work their, weaknesses amongst
the staff. Is there any slackers, that’s who we
target to get inside.
5. Frank: So we need someone on the inside then.
6. Charles: Yes, someone who is willing to work with
us, someone who hates their job, who is willing to
go to the end with us. Best way to find out is go in
there first hand.
7. Frank: What bank we doing, were still pretty close
to the prison. There all still out looking for us.

strolling around in broad daylight looking for banks
while people are after us. So we go in there, now
