Episode 380 – The Score (2001)

About this episode

The episode discusses the film 'The Score' and its cast while humorously exploring a fictional heist scenario.

Ok, ok . . . easy . . . slow and steady does it. Now the electronics of this lock are TEMPEST-resistant, so we’re going to have to handle this old school. The molybdenum magnets should help with that; the glass packs and the relockers rule out any brute force methods so this is going to have to be surgical. No, don’t be an idiot; using soup is out of the question, and so is bumping the rig. Set up the diamond-tip drill but keep the tungsten carbide bit handy. Once we get past the outers, the thermic lance should get us through the inner reinforced barrier. Good, good. Hey, relax! You wanted the best Peter man available and you got him! Let’s be calm. Let’s be professional. Panic is the enemy. Just remember the payoff; there’s thirty million inside this . . . yes! We got it! Get the satchels ready, we’re . . . wait a sec . . . what’s that smell? Those don’t look like stacks of money . . . they look like . . . oh no . . . it’s not thirty million dollars! It’s thirty million kabookies! What do you mean, “how much is that in U.S. dollars?” Nothing! Kabookies are pancakes! DAMMIT! Well, let’s hope the cast of this week’s “This Looks Like a Good Place for a Stickup” have better luck…
