YouTube Transcription #40 Woody Allen


Narrator: Destitute and in love, Virgil attempts to change his life with one bold stroke.
Teller: And if you’ll just take this to window number nine… What does this say?
Virgil: Can’t you read that?
Teller: I can’t read this. What’s this? “Apt natural”?
Virgil: That says, “Please put $50,000 into this bag and act natural.”
Teller: It does say “act natural”?
Virgil: Er… it says “I’m pointing a gun at you.”
Teller: That looks like “gub”. That doesn’t look like “gun”.
Virgil: No, that’s “gun”.
Teller: No, that’s “gub”. That’s a “b”.
Virgil: No, see, that’s an “n”. That’s “G-U-N”, that’s “gun”.
Teller: George, would you step over here a moment? What does this say?
George: “Please put $50,000 into this bag and apt natural.” What’s “apt”?
Virgil: That’s “act”.
Teller: Does this look like “gub” or “gun”?
George: “Gun”.
Virgil: See?
George: But what’s “apt” mean?

George: The gentleman in the gray suit.
Virgil: That’s “G-U-N”, “I’m pointing… yes, I’m pointing a gun at you. That’s “G-U-N”.
Vice President: That’s a “b”, that’s “gub”.
Virgil: No, excuse me, that’s an “n”.
Vice President: Ms Frank?
Ms Frank: “I am pointing a gun at you. Apt natural.
Virgil: No, that’s “act”.
Ms Frank: What’s “apt”?
Virgil: No, that’s “act”.
Ms frank: Oh, it couldn’t be; that’s a plain “p”.
Virgil: No, no, no, I’m afraid not. That’s “act natural” and “I’m pointing a gun at you.”
Ms Frank: Mr Miller.
Mr Miller: “I am pointing a gub
Virgil: No, that’s “gun”, that’s “G-U-N”, “I’m pointing a gun at you.” It looks like a “b” but it’s an “n”.

Police Officer: About ten years.
Narrator: Virgil Starkwell is apprehended in the act of bank robbery. He is given ten years in the state’s strictest maximum security prison.
