Don’t be stupid.
Give me all the money in your drawer.
It’s not yours.

You have 15 seconds
to put at least $9,000 
in $100’s & $50’s in front of me.
Alarms, dye packs, bait money,
tracking devices, or follow me out,
will equal death.
My briefcase
will inflict a deadly wrath
on all of you in this bank
if you follow me.
Time starts now!
