LOL!!!!! Then the robber could bait the entire NYPD (just outside the bank), send out for a pizza, make pals with most of the bank hostages, get his ass kicked by the Hispanic boyfriend of Maria (a hostage), and allow as to how he is pulling the bank job to raise cash for his (the robber's) boyfriend's sex change operation! But all good things must come to an end. Finally the FBI would have to move in, and put an end to all of the fun (during the robbers' drive to the airport). Poor old Sal (the flunkie) would get a quick one between the eyes, and the FBI would haul off the perp. Best time for such a situation would be mid August. Well, it started out funny!

He is from Brazil (Developed Bossa Nova, also is father of Bebel Gilberto:) and my Portuguese isn't up to much. I suspect that 'Joao' is pronounced similar to 'how', but I'm not certain.
