But also with the thing in this movie of not explaining too much, of like Ryan O'Neal just being like, "No, y- the guys who use the guns, who did the fucking robbery? No, I don't work with those guys." "No, no, they're working on a bigger score now and it's gonna be different." "Okay, then I'll do it." Um, but, uh, back to the cast.
