L.C. : And Curt Ramon, the teller at the bank. He�s one of CurtTony�s inside people.
W.S. : Who would be most likely to take it?
L.C. : Probably Alvan Father, because we got rid of CurtTony if you know what I mean.
W.S. : You knocked off CurtTony! Whoa, that�s big! He just asked, before the robbery, to pin the evidence on someone. So I asked how much he would be paying me, and he said he would pay me when he gets the money. I said of he wants me to do it he would have to pay me up front. After that he left.
L.C. : Who did he want to pin it on?
W.S. : Luke Capone and Jankster. He also gave me two other names, Allen Ritz and Michael Johnson.
L.C. : He was trying to set us up the whole time!

W.S. : I know what we could do!
L.C. : What?
T.R. : Wait! I know where you�re going with this.
L.C. : He�s right! You have to be adopted into the family so to speak.
T.R. : You have to be if you want to help with something like this.
W.S. : How?
T.R. : The two head guys have to �vote� you in.
T.R. and L.C. walk into another room.
L.C. : So, what do you think?

L.C. : What if he�s an undercover cop?
T.R. : I don�t think he is. He doesn�t act the way a cop would. A cop would try to prevent any killing. He didn�t.
L.C. : You�re right! I don�t see any problem with letting him in. He would be a big help when we frame Alvan Father.
T.R. : That settles it. He�s in!

T.R. and L.C. walk back into the room.
L.C. : Wade you�re in.

W.S. : Yeah!
L.C. : Wear it! You�ll guard the outside. Jankster!
J. : Yeah!
L.C. : If someone�s coming you�ll �accidentally� set off the car alarm. Shalhoub, when you see Ron and I run out get in the car. Ron will put the money in the back of the car.
T.R. : You guys get all that?
J. : Yeah!
W.S. : Okay!

A.F. : Yeah!
D. : We could park it in their driveway.
C.T. : I see what you�re trying to do. You�re trying to make them tune on each other. Save us the trouble.
D. : Exactly!
C.T. : I like it!
D. : We�ll make them think someone bought the car without waiting to spend the money.
Scene 23 Doug Stamos.
L.C. : Here we are!
T.R. : Are you sure this guy is your nephew?

W.S. : We Need some disguises.
D.S. : Uncle Shalhoub! I haven�t seen you for a long time. Where have you been?
W.S. : I�ve been real busy.
D.S. : Same here. It�s good to see you again!
W.S. : Can you make disguises from a picture?
D.S. : It will take a while, but I can do it.
W.S. : Here�s the picture. I need you to make us look like them.
D.S. : No problem! Have a seat in the waiting room.
L.C. : Right now we have plenty of time.
D.S. : Okay, I�ll be with you in a few minutes.
D.S. walks into the back room.
L.C. : What picture did you give him?
W.S. : I gave him the one I had of the Alvan Fathers.
J. : Good! We can pin it on them.
T.R. : We can finally get them back for what they did to us.
L.C. : It�s about time!

T.R. : What�s that car doing in the driveway?
J. : I don�t know!
L.C. : We need to talk!
T.R. : Yes, we do!
Everybody walks into the house.
J. : The safe�s open!
L.C. : There�s fifty thousand dollars missing from Janksters share.
T.R. : Luke, come to the back.
T.R. and L.C. walk into the back room.
L.C. : I don�t understand it, we were the only one�s that knew the combination.
T.R. : I don�t think Jankster would have taken the money.
L.C. : Or hired someone to take it.
T.R. : It could be Shalhoub, but I really don�t think so.
L.C. : We need to keep an eye on him anyway.
T.R. : Yeah! He could have joined up to steal the money.
L.C. : What a minute! Don�t you have security cameras?
T.R. : Yeah! They�re on all the time. (short pause) I know what you�re thinking!
L.C. : We need to check the video tape.
T.R. : I�ll get the tape.

door in the floor.

Scene 27 The Meeting.
T.R. : We have a leak.
L.C. : Some one took some money!
