Use these 3 words
combustible, casino, haywire

Oh god! Oh god! We lost Jim!!
Keep moving! Leave him!
He knew the risks, same as you!
I knew this plan was just too good to be true.
Oh! So you want to second guess now!? (bullets whiz by)
Ok! Let's sit here and evaluate, Oh no we're doing this now!
Are you crazy!!? They are shooting at us!
Well you wanted to stop and jump off the heist bus!
You think robbing a casino is easy? Think they'd let us stroll right in?
Well no...Then shut up and keep moving! Alright, alright, you win.
Finally! Now let's do this! Give me cover while I prep the door,
Ok, I got you covered, Whoa! What did you bring? is that C4??
How else do you plan to punch through this damn door?
Alright it's set, now hit the floor! (hits detonator, nothing happens)
Jesus! He shouts, as sparks start to shoot out,
Of all this times for this to go haywire, now how do we get out??
I don't know let me think for a second! (bullets continue to whiz by)
See those barrels? Yeah? Shoot them! To what end?
They could be filled with combustible stuff and explode!
This isn't a damn video game! Barrels don't just explode!
You know I am tired of you second guessing me!
They are closing is on us! Do you not see?
I do and I'm done, We are trapped and it's all your fault!
I knew I shouldn't have listened to you about this damn vault.
What are you doing? Surrendering, what choice is left?
Hands up! They shout...You're under arrest for attempted theft!
Well this is a fine how do you do!
I swear if we are sent to the same prison, I am going to shank you!
