A young credit union teller[7] named Sally Decker (played by Kathryn Leigh Scott) is arguing with her boss, Jim Johnson, over a loan of money.

Johnson declines, saying that due to an upcoming audit, he has to balance the credit union's books and can't loan her any more money.

During the extended identification process, Sally devises a scheme to solve her money problems: she shoots her boss and Mr. Twice, making it look like Twice was trying to rob the credit union by planting a gun on him.

In a sight gag reminiscent of the toll booth scene in "Blazing Saddles", while the teller's cage has the usual heavy security set-up (mesh wire, bars, etc.)

We then see Frank park his car in front of the credit union, avoiding an absurdly long stretcher removing a body of one of the victims as he enters.

Ed and Frank then go a neighborhood in the city called Little Italy (and sure enough, as they drive there, we see Rome's Colosseum in the background) to question Ralph Twice's widow ("We're sorry to bother you at a time like this, Mrs. Twice.

We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then") (continuing the "Little Italy" gag, her apartment apparently has a direct view onto the Leaning Tower of Pisa).

Frank and Ed suggest preposterous lies such as: "he was killed by left-wing insurgents from Paraguay", or that "he threw himself on a grenade and saved a battalion", and ultimately that "he was traded to the Cubs for Reggie Jackson".

Johnny tells Frank that Ralph would have gotten his job back in two weeks, while Sally used to be Joe Surlov's girlfriend and she got mixed up in penny-ante bunko scams.

Setting up the final confrontation, Frank calls Sally, claiming that he is Zubatski (perfectly imitating his voice merely by placing a handkerchief over the telephone mouthpiece), and threatens her with blackmail in order to arrange a clandestine meeting.

Entering the hallway, Frank immediately steps on something that flips him over by his feet, and we see his silhouette dangling upside down through the frosted glass window.
