A: All right, so this is what we are going to do. I’ve carefully mapped this out, so don’t screw it up. Mr. Rabbit, you and Mr.Fox will go into the bank wearing these uniforms. We managed to get replicas of the one the guards wear when they pick up the money.
B: Got it.
C: No problem, boss.
A: When you get inside, tell them you are filling for Carl and Tom, and say that they are on another route today. Don’t loose your cool. Just act natural.
B: What if they want to call and confirm?
A: You let them.
C: What?
A: Don’t worry. We have the phones tapped , so the call will be patched through to me , and I will pretend to be the transport company.
B: Ha ha, you are so clever boss!
A: Okay, shut up. Only take as much money as you can fill in these bags. Don’t get greedy. Are you ready? Let’s go.
