1:01:03
one distant day,
grandchildren dandled upon our knee,

1:01:10
and perhaps a tear will form
and we shall say,

1:01:15
''Well, with wit and grit
and no small amount of courage,

1:01:20
we accomplished something on that day,
1:01:24
a feat of derring-do,
an enterprise not ignoble,''

1:01:30
We merry band, unbound
by the constraints of society

1:01:35
and the prejudices of the common ruck,
1:01:39
We happy few,
1:01:43
- Gentlemen, to us!
- all To us!

1:01:55
Charge shoulda gone off already,
1:01:57
l do beg your pardon?
1:01:59
The charge to collapse the tunnel,
l set it for eight minutes,

1:02:03
Well, that much time and more
has certainly elapsed,

1:02:10
l need not remind you,
it is of the essence of this plan

1:02:14
that the money should appear to have
simply vanished without a trace,

1:02:17
- spirited away, as it were, by ghosts,
- Of course,

1:02:20
The conundrum of the undisturbed,
yet empty vault,

1:02:22
the unsolvable riddle
of the sealed yet violated sanctum,

1:02:25
is of the utmost importance,
1:02:27
not only to make our caper
more intellectually satisfying,

1:02:30
it is exigent as a matter of practical fact,
1:02:33
l remind you that if any tunnel
is ever found leading to this house,

1:02:39
the owner knows all your names,
