:26:01
and the armed guard
retreats to the casino's main entrance,
:26:05
There, then, far from the guard,
reposes the money,
:26:11
behind a five-inch-thick steel portal, yes,
But the walls,,,
:26:17
the walls are but humble masonry
:26:21
behind which is only the soft,
loamy soil deposited over centuries
:26:26
by the Old Man,
the meanderin' Mississippi,
:26:30
as it fanned its way back and forth across
the great alluvial plain, leaving earth,
:26:38
This earth,
:26:42
The General here, whose
curriculum vitae comprehends
:26:46
massive tunnelin' experience through
the soil of his native French lndochina,
:26:49
shall be directin'
our little old tunnelin' operation,
:26:53
Garth Pancake, though a master of none,
is a jack of all those trades
:26:58
corollary to our aim,

- as our little caper shall require,
- Happy to be on board,
:27:06
Gawain is our proverbial ''inside man,''
:27:09
He has managed to secure himself a berth
on the custodial staff of the Bandit Queen,
:27:14
- Damn skippy!
- And this brings us to Lump,
:27:19
To look at Lump, you might wonder
what specialized expertise
:27:23
could he possibly offer
our merry little old band of miscreants,
:27:27
Well, gentlemen,
in a project of such risks,
:27:31
it is imperative to enlist the services of a
hooligan, a goon, an ape, a physical brute,
:27:36
Someone who will be our security,
our battering ram, our blunt instrument,
:27:43
And, on our behalf,
l wish him a warm Mississippi welcome,
:27:46
- Fuckin' A,
- Whassup, my nigga?
:27:48
Well, gentlemen, here you are,
:27:51
Men of different backgrounds
and differing talents,
:27:54
Men with, in fact,
but two things in common:
:27:56
One, you all saw fit to answer my
advertisement in the Memphis Scimitar,
:27:59
and two, you're all going to be,
in consequence,
