Breaking the Bank transcript

This article is a transcript for the remastered version of Breaking the Bank. No transcript exists for the legacy version.

Intro

 * [The game begins with a far-away shot of the Bank. Wind is howling, and birds can be heard cawing.]
 * [The camera rapidly pans in on Henry, scratching his chin and thinking about his options to enter the bank. The 6 options in the game then appear.]

Shovel

 * [Henry rummages around in an unseen container on his torso. Various clanks can be heard. Eventually, he takes out a shovel. Fanfare plays, and he jumps up and digs down rapidly until the shovel hits something metallic.]
 * [The camera angle changes to inside the pit Henry has dug. He looks down, confused, and pulls out a lighter to see what he hit.]
 * [The camera angle changes again to show the dark metal object that was dug into. The lighter is shown slowly getting closer to it, lighting the hole and revealing the words "GAS MAIN".]
 * [The camera changes once more, and a huge tall explosion happens on the left side of the Bank, where Henry has dug. A car alarm goes off in the parking lot as well.]
 * Fail Message: Never dig straight down.

Explosives

 * [A huge stack of explosives of various types appears next to the bank. The detonator is directly next to it. Henry is holding a small bomb and three sticks of dynamite.]
 * [Henry places the bomb on carefully, and then tries to put on a stick of dynamite. Unfortunately, this causes the bomb to be knocked off. It bounces down the stack and hits the detonator. A couple seconds later, the camera zooms out super far and a massive explosion is seen, engulfing the entire bank and sending an incredibly long shockwave across the desert.]
 * Fail Message: Handle with care.

Teleporter

 * [Henry has a Teleporter in his hand. He looks at it, then looks at the wall of the Bank, presumably to figure out where and how to teleport.]
 * [Accompanied by various beeping sounds, Henry presses the bottom button on the Teleporter once, then the top-left button once, and then finally the center red button. He starts shaking, blurring, and stretching left to right as he begins to teleport. This is accompanied by even more electronic beeps.]
 * [Henry suddenly appears inside the wall of the Bank. He is at an angle, with his right arm free, his left arm mostly inside the wall, a foot sticking out, and the bottom of his torso as well as his other leg completely inside the wall and possibly inside the Bank as well. He attempts to pull himself out.]
 * Henry: Hggghhhh!
 * [This attempt is to no avail, and Henry doesn't even budge. He looks around for a minute before the fail ends.]
 * Fail Message: It's emergent technology. I'm sure it will get better!

Laser

 * [Henry holds a giant laser gun. He shoots it at the wall to open it up. A small crack appears, and Henry smiles, before turning to the camera and grinning even wider. The wall then begins to fall over, and crushes Henry and the laser gun instantly and completely.]
 * Fail Message: Open Sesame.

Wrecking Ball

 * [The camera pans out to show a wrecking ball driving towards the Bank. It zooms in to it, and shows Henry inside driving it. He lifts up a hand to start moving the wrecking ball so he can break open the wall. Before he can, a whistle catches his attention.]
 * Chad Hansen is shown standing at the corner of the bank. He looks at Henry and shrugs in confusion, then signals Henry to drive away. So as to not bust his cover, Henry complies and leaves the area.]
 * Fail Message: There's no construction scheduled for today.

Disguise

 * [Henry is standing next in the Desert, waiting for the Armored Truck to pass by.]
 * [The camera switches to a different angle by the Dusty Road, where Henry gets into the disguising money bag and ties the knot from inside the bag. It is unclear how. He flops over sideways to appear more like a money bag. The truck passes by, before grinding to a halt and quickly reversing. Ted McAdams and Winston Davis exit the truck and walk up to the bag.]
 * Ted McAdams: Huh? How did we lose one?
 * Winston Davis: I think we should throw it in the back. Just to be safe?
 * [The bag is thrown in the back of the truck, and starts driving towards the bank. Chad Hansen and Philly Colin are seen standing at the entrance of the bank, keeping guard. Chad sniffles a bit and rubs his nose.]
 * Chad Hansen: You ever... Wonder why there's a bank out here?
 * Philly Colin: Mmwell. I think it's supposed to be, like, more of a vault, y'know?
 * Chad Hansen: Ohhhhh! That makes sense!
 * [The truck arrives and the door is opened. Henry in his disguise, along with the other bags, is thrown into the vault, The door closes, and Henry gets out of the disguise. He looks around to be careful, then gets fully out. He raises a fist up and grins in happiness. Unfortunately, this triggers a laser security system.]
 * Chad Hansen: Freeze! [Henry puts his hands up suddenly in surrender.]
 * Philly Collin: Don't move!
 * [The camera turns to a close-up shot of Henry's face. He looks very annoyed. The camera fades out to black, and the game ends.]
