Cash in the Ice-Cream Carton

Colin: OK, Mike. At six o'clock you take a taxi to the bank. Max will come out with the cash in a cream-coloured case...

Mike: I'm to collect the cash?

Colin: Of course. Don't ask questions. Just concentrate.

Mike: Colin, if they catch me I'll confess.

Colin: Keep quiet, can't you? At a quarter to six Coco will be parked at the corner of the Market Square.

Mike: I'll scream. I'm a coward. The kids at school called me...

Colin: Pack the cash in the ice-cream carton in the back of the car and make your way as quickly as you can back to the cafe.

Mike: Colin, I'm scared.

Colin: Oh, crikey, Mike! You do make me sick!
