Andy: Oh, good. File 'em, will you, Barn?
Barney: (reading posters) Let's see what we got here. "Henry 'Shopping Bag' Leonetti. Grand Larceny; $4,000 reward." "Max 'The Tongue' Rasmussen. Grand Theft Auto; reward $1,500." "Benjamin Schuster, alias Benjy Schus, alias Benny Schut. Forgery; reward $3,000." You know what this means, Andy?
Andy: What?
Barney: 8,500 American silver cartwheels right in our hands; only one small hitch.
Andy: We don't know where they are.
Barney: Right!
