Narrator: At it's best, moving can be one of life's worst experiences. Surrendering one's precious valuables to strangers is traumatizing
Lady: Careful with that first chair.
Dickie: Lady, we got this.
Narrator: But these two losers are in a class by themselves.
(Donnie drops the box and breaks some valuables in the process)
Narrator: Dickie and Donnie bill themselves as starving students. But they were just two ex-cons looking to rip people off. Dickie spots a nice piece of antique crystal. And makes it disappear.
Tim Zickhur: Ex-cons are hired by moving companies all the time. Um, they're big guys, they're burly. All they've been doing in jail is been eating starches and mashed potatoes, and just bulking up and lifting weights, push-ups or whatever they do. If they see an item they like, they'll take it.
Narrator: Finally, they had one last piece to hump: a heavy, hard-to-handle armoire. After this, pawn the crystal, and off to the race track.
(Donnie starts the truck and starts moving briefly, when suddenly, Dickie falls backwards and can only let out a scream as an armoire falls on him and crushes him, killing him. Donnie gets out of the truck to see what is going on, but it's too late)
Narrator: Dickie and Donnie were movers with larceny in their veins. They robbed their clients blind, but then Donnie... (Dickie screams as the armoire falls on top of him and crushes him) forgot Dickie. And now Dickie... is deadie.
