THE BACK UPS by CHRIS HENCHY AND ADAM MCKAY GARY SANCHEZ PROD 323-465-4600 EXT. MANHATTAN BANK - DAY It s a perfect day in New York - blue skies and sunshine. INT. NEW YORK BANK - DAY Just a few customers are in the bank as it nears closing time: A WOMAN WEARING SUNGLASSES WITH A BABY STROLLER steps up to the teller. TELLER Hello there. What s this little one s name? The woman reaches down and pulls a blanket off the stroller. The two other customers reach in and pull out SLICK SEMI AUTOMATIC RIFLES. WOMAN WITH GUNS (thick German accent) The baby s name is push the alarm and you will have a giant bloody hole in your chest! MUSIC: RAPID FIRE SNARE DRUM SCORES THE ROBBERY The woman takes off a wig, REVEALING a man. ALL THREE ROBBERS LOOK IDENTICAL: blonde, baseball caps, blonde moustaches, sunglasses. BANK ROBBER 1 (also with German accent) Everybody relax. I want no heroes! If you notice I have a Germanic accent, from the Rhine region. Something distinct to tell the authorities. The Security Guard raises his arms submissively. BANK ROBBER 3 Three more minutes! BARRY, the assistant manager, walks over and opens the door for Bank Robbers 1 and 2 while Bank Robber 3 keeps a gun on the employees and a few customers. BARRY This way! TELLER Barry, what are you doing? (CONTINUED) 2. CONTINUED: BARRY I have to. My daughter s going to Tulane. I want a plasma. IT S CALLED LIVING! Barry leads Bank Robber 1 and 2 to the vault.
