Frankie:   Right, you get in the box.   I’ll make sure it’s all sealed and then, posing as a delivery guy, I’ll drop off a ‘special package’ for the manager. Now, according to Jimmy, the bank manager is leaving early on Tuesday ’cause it’s his wedding anniversary.

Frankie: Atta boy Ralph! In the morning I come back to the bank, say there’s been a mix-up with the delivery I made and take the  ‘special package’ back here.
Sammy:  Alright, let’s get some sleep...it’s a big day tomorrow fellas!
Frankie:  A perfect plan, Sammy! It went off without a hitch⁶!
Sammy:  Let’s open this up and get Ralph out here so we can start counting the money!
Ralph: Phew! I sure am glad to see you guys! I was sure getting lonely with no one to talk.
