JIMMY and ERIC are robbing the bank. People are lying on the floor with their hands on their heads. One kid is playing with his handheld gaming device. Eric has the people covered with a gun. Jimmy is grabbing sacks full of money.

Nurse: Dr Maudling will see you now.
Arthur: Ah…Great.
[Walks through to doctors office; Dr is at desk]
Dr: Come in… Arthur Snellgrove is it? [Looks at papers]…
