I always thought the scene from "Take The Money And Run" where Woody as Virgil Starkwell tries to hold up a bank and the teller can't read the holdup note, was classic Woody Allen as the loser schlub who can't get anything right.

What does this say?

Uh, can't you read that?

I can't read this. What is this? "Abt natural"?

No it just reads, "Please put $50 thousand into this bag. Act natural."

Does it say, "Act natural"?

I, uh, am pointing a gut at you.

That looks like "gub", it doesn't look like "gun".

No, it's "gub". That's a B.

That's B.

- No, it's N. - Miss Frank!

"I'm pointing a gun at you. Abt natural".

- What is "abt"? - No, it's "act".

No, it couldn't be. It's a plain B.

No, no, I'm afraid not.

That's "act naturally. I'm pointing a gun at you."

Mr. Miller!

"I'm pointing a gub"

No, that's gun, G-U-N. It's "I'm pointing a gun at you."

It looks like a B, but it's a N.

Hello, Louise?

I've got to go to Boston and give a concert.

Well, look, why don't I give you a call in about a...
