Olsen-banden

We'll rob the cigar shop in Sofies Gate.

He's always got plenty of dough in the till on Wednesdays.

We'll wait till the night watchman has finished his rounds.

We'll camouflage ourselves, -

- move cautiously and be very discreet.

We'll cut a hole in the window, so we won't sound the alarm.

Hush!

Kjell gets a glazier's diamond and a roll of tape.

Benny keeps guard.

We have to tape the hole, -

- so the glass won't fall down and make a noise.

If something unexpected happens, for God's sake don't run.

Walk away quietly as if it had nothing to do with you.

THE OLSEN GANG

So, Olsen, our ways part again.

But not for long. Unless you stick to the straight and narrow.

It would be nice to meet you under friendlier circumstances.

Have you got a match? Thank you.

The same thing goes for the other two gentlemen.

You may rest assured that I'll be keeping and eye on you.

I'd be tickled to death to lock you all up.

- Bye-bye. - My matches.

- What was that? - My matches.

Of course. Please don't think I was going to... Sorry.

Don't worry about it.

No, it hasn't been easy. It hasn't.

- Things will get better now. - That's what I keep telling you.

Egon will fix it.

We had a confirmation and the new baby, and Valborg stopped working.

Birger's got his O-levels. If Benny hadn't won big time on the tracks...

400 for a fiver.

Take it easy, fellas. I've got plans. Big plans.

- Really? - Of course.

I told you. Egon will fix everything.

Oh, shut up.

Cheers, Egon. Nice to have you back. It's been a bit quiet here.

Not for long. 'Cause Egon's got...

- Thank you! I'm on the 2nd floor? - Make yourself at home.

Connie's ticked off the calendar every day for two years.

- What is it? - Customers.

- Get off it. At this hour? - Come and have a look.

- You have to call home. - Me? Valborg called?

- Yes, it was urgent. - All right.

If you're pulling my leg, I'll... Oh, Egon! Is it you?

My little rabbit! Welcome home.

You look so skinny! Haven't they fed you?

- Are you tired? - Me? No, on the contrary.

Wonderful.

I'll be right back, fellas.

Can you lend me 50 øre?

Yes, I know, you're with Egon and your old friends.

I hate it when you're down there! Did they give you some money?

Free? Since when is beer free?

And you brought the baby! What were you thinking?

But he's fine. He's fast asleep.

Sure, I can do that. Hang on.

A big pack of washing powder. And a bunch of parsley.

What about half a bottle of schnapps? No. Of course not.

- Fellas, meeting! - What's that?

- Get up here! - All right!

And you'll come straight home.

And if you dare go up in that... pit...

Turn of that gadget. I've got presents for everybody.

- How have you been? - He's a bit pale.

- We'll have to fatten him up. - Skinny roosters and...

Thank you, girls. How nice to see familiar faces.

- Where's Ulla? - Working. She's new here.

- She's our film star. - My fiancée. I'm her manager.

- Let's... - No, no! Thank you, girls.

You'll have to buzz off. We've got a business meeting.

Off you go!

- I have to go. Valborg's waiting... - We've got things to discuss.

- I figured it was important... - This is more important.

Listen, fellas, how'd you like to become millionaires?

- What's the plan? - I've got a great idea.

Brilliant. I told you. Egon will...

A bit of pocket money would be nice.

This is a matter of millions, not frigging pocket money.

- Brilliant, Egon. - A couple of millions for each.

- I really have to go... - Shut up. You're interrupting Egon.

This is huge. It's on an international level.

Is it porn? I knew it! That's brilliant, Egon. Brilliant.

Ulla, my fiancée, has been offered a contract abroad, and...

- No, no, no! - No, of course not.

But it could've been a bit brilliant.

- Can I help you? - No, thank you.

It's easy to find what you want. It's divided into groups.

That's the department for gentlemen and ladies.

There it's ladies and gentlemen. Here, ladies and ladies.

Here, gentlemen and gentlemen.

And over there it's the latest news with animals and things.

- What do you want? - Donald Duck.

I'll get it for you. Here. 1,50. Thank you.

I have to talk to my manager first.

What do you want a manager for? With your talents and equipment.

- I promised not to sign anything. - You'll be a world-wide success.

- Don't miss this chance. - Bye-bye.

Fancy piece, eh, Mummy? What a looker.

- Sorry. I'm so sorry. - Don't worry about it, dearie.

Gentlemen always become a bit clumsy when they're in here.

- Is this you? - You want my autograph?

DC Hermansen. Please come along with me.

The old stuff was no good. We have to change our style.

- Go upmarket. - You'll fix it, Egon.

I studied the methods that are used abroad, when I was in prison.

- I have to go shopping. - I have an appointment with Ulla.

Take it easy, fellas. This time they won't get hold of us.

Take a picture like that. You say your fiancé took it.

But how can the young man in the picture take a photo -

- at the same time as he's... How can you explain that?

A self-timing release.

Hermansen speaking. Hello, sir. Yes, sir.

I've got someone in for questioning. We'll be finished soon.

I've made some very useful observations.

At once? Very well, sir. Goodbye, sir.

Thank you, you may leave now. I don't want to warn you again.

Have you got some new ones? We're done with these.

What did he want? He can't just...

He was cute. Don't you think I should sign that contract?

- I'll get five grand for it. - We've got other plans. Big ones.

- What kind of plans? - A change of style. Going upmarket.

We'll go abroad and start our own business. Don't tell anyone.

- Daddy'll be a millionaire soon. - Oh, yeah?

Count on it. Egon's got a great plan.

- Sir. - A very important job for you.

- I'd hate to let this one go. - It's just for a week.

- But I've just found a lead... - Sit down.

- What's it about, sir? - This.

- What ever is that? - The so-called Imperial Centrepiece.

One of the showpieces among the Hohenzoller crown jewels.

During the German cultural week, German treasures will be exhibited.

One of the main attractions is the Imperial Centrepiece.

- It's worth 12 million kroner. - God Almighty.

It's been British owned since 1918, -

- but has recently been bought back by patriotic German businessmen.

- What does it depict? - The Virgin of Loreley.

She's set in pure gold. Below her you can see the Rhine.

The wave is made of pearls, amethysts and emeralds.

Very life-like. And on the top there's a sacrificial bowl in gold.

So it's not just a matter of the pecuniary value of this work of art.

Strong national feelings are at stake, and nothing must go wrong.

It might have serious consequences. NATO, the Common Market...

There are extensive technical security measures.

But the minister has asked for one of my best men to supervise it all.

That's you, Hermansen. I have confidence in you.

- I have great plans for you. - Thank you, sir.

The government is personally interested. God be with you.

Thank you very much, sir.

My mistake, sir.

All doors and windows are burglar-proof.

The wiring has been changed and tested.

We've put up a No Parking sign outside -

- to ensure full view and full control. And the glass case...

Wishing to strengthen the bond of friendship between our countries -

- which not least has expressed itself in the cultural area, -

- I am pleased and honoured to declare this exhibition open.

It's a brand-new construction. If someone touches the case -

it sinks into a safety vault.

The alarm goes off. All doors close automatically, -

- and an alarm goes off in number 19 and at the German embassy.

It's as good as fool-proof. I'd dare anyone to try.

It'll be an easy and comfortable job. You can sit here watching everything.

Fine.

- Are you sure it's worth 12 million? - Be quiet. Don't show interest.

Well, Olsen. You might as well give up beforehand.

Oh, is that you, Hermansen?

- It's no use, Olsen. - What do you mean?

It's not a job for butterfingered two-bit amateurs.

- You've misunderstood something. - We're just visiting the exhibition.

- We're very interested. - Are we allowed a bit of culture?

- Come on, fellas. - Just remember one thing, Olsen.

I'm here. All the time.

My God! The Canary Islands! Are you serious?

It must look like a ordinary holiday. That's part of the plan.

I always wanted to go there. But Kjell could never afford it.

- Ulla's going, too. - No. No!

It's a fundamental principle. No women.

- Women spoil everything. - Yes, but I promised.

- Can't I come either? - This is our great chance.

When we've finished this job, we're millionaires.

If I can't go, neither can Kjell. What nonsense.

We have to put up with everything...

- All right! It's a deal. - Ulla, too? Brilliant.

There's a flight Wednesday at 19.45. Benny, you'll get the tickets.

I'll never get ready. I haven't anything to wear, and the kids.

It has to be Wednesday. The exhibition only lasts a week.

- It's just too soon. - No, no, no! This won't do!

Try to understand. This is a matter of millions.

We can't be worried about trifles. We're going upmarket now.

We need vigour, determination, boldness and courage.

Is it dangerous? If it's dangerous, I won't let Kjell do it.

It's not dangerous, it's difficult. We've got lots of work to do.

- Every minute is valuable. - I'll see what we've got to wear.

- Timing is of the essence here. - What's that?

We have to be punctual. The haul is on Wednesday.

Late, so we'll be out of here before anyone discovers what's happened.

Brilliant.

All details must be carefully planned. Each of us has his tasks.

Benny gets the cars. Your car to the airport, and Connie's.

- And Kjell, your job is to... - Cancel the paper, mend the shoes.
