FADE IN:
EXT. CITY STREETS
We see a police car screeching down the road. Inside the car are KEVIN SHEEDY and WAYNE BENNETT, two grizzled cops who have been partners for years.
SHEEDY: (into radio) We've got a robbery in progress at the bank on 5th and Main. ETA two minutes.
BENNETT: (grunts)
SHEEDY: Come on, Wayne, lighten up. You've been grunting all morning.
BENNETT: (grunts)
SHEEDY: Alright then, let's talk about the footy. How's the team looking this season?
BENNETT: (grunts) We'll be tough to beat.
SHEEDY: (smiling) That's the spirit. You always were a man of few words.
They pull up outside the bank and jump out of the car. Inside the bank, the robbers are holding the employees hostage.
ROBBER: Nobody move! We're taking all the money!
SHEEDY: (whispering to Bennett) Alright, Wayne, let's show these young punks how it's done.
BENNETT: (grunts)
Sheedy and Bennett make their way quietly towards the entrance of the bank. Suddenly, Sheedy trips and falls, knocking over a stack of chairs.
ROBBER: Hey, what's going on over there?
SHEEDY: (whispering to Bennett) Quick, Wayne, improvise!
BENNETT: (turning to the robbers) Sorry about that, boys, just doing a bit of undercover work. We're here to help.
The robbers are stunned by Bennett's cool demeanor and back away slowly.
SHEEDY: (getting up) Nice work, old timer. (pauses) Did you just call them "boys"?
BENNETT: (smiling) It's all about psychology, mate.
They quickly disarm the robbers and the hostages are freed.
EXT. CITY STREETS
Sheedy and Bennett are walking back to their car, admiring their work.
SHEEDY: (laughing) Who knew all those years of coaching rugby could come in handy as a cop?
BENNETT: (smiling) You know what they say, mate. Old dogs can learn new tricks.
SHEEDY: (nodding) You're not wrong there, Wayne. You're not wrong.
FADE OUT.
