Does he know everything?
Thunderbolt [at the same time]
No.
Yes.
Thunderbolt! Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. That sounds like somethin'.
Thunderbolt You're forgetting I'm a lot older than you.
There are plenty of guys twice my age who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
Thunderbolt I won't fault you there.
Thunderbolt In small-town banks, they leave the telephone off the hook in the vault at night so the local operator can listen in.
People walk into these banks with paper sacks, fill 'em with money and walk out. Anybody can do it.
Thunderbolt Bullshit. The newest bank vaults have walls of reinforced concrete five feet thick, backed by six inches of steel. The vault door is stainless steel-faced. It's an inch and a half of cast steel, another 12 inches of burn-resisting steel, and another inch and a half of open-hearthed steel... A vault door has 20 bolts, each an inch in diameter. Eight on each side, two top and two bottom. This holds the door into a 16-inch steel jamb set in 18 inches of concrete. It's crosshatched by steel bars running both vertical and horizontal. This door is precision-made so you can't pour nitro between the door and the vault. If that isn't enough, there's microphones, electric eyes, pressure-sensitive mats, vibration detectors, tear gas, and even thermostats that detect the slightest rise in temperature. Still interested in banks?
I knew you weren't a preacher!
You know... you know somethin'? I don't think of us as criminals, you know? I feel we accomplished something. A good job. I feel proud of myself, man. I feel like a hero.
Thunderbolt Are you all right, kid? You don't look too well.
I believe you're right.
Thunderbolt [Slumps over]
Lightfoot!
