Plot: Larceny, lust and lethal behavior. In icebound Wichita, Kansas, it's Christmas Eve, and this year Charlie Arglist just might have something to celebrate. Charlie, an attorney for the sleazy businesses of Wichita, and his unsavory associate, the steely Vic Cavanaugh have just successfully embezzled $2 million from Kansas City boss Bill Guerrard. But the real prize for Charlie is the stunning Renata, who runs the Sweet Cage strip club. Charlie hopes to slip out of town with Renata. But as daylight fades and an ice storm whirls, everyone from Charlie's drinking buddy Pete Van Heuten to the local police begin to wonder just what exactly is in Charlie's Christmas stocking - and the 12 hours of Christmas Eve are filled with surprises.

Quotes:

Charlie Arglist: As Wichita falls... so falls Wichita Falls.

Vic: He actually threatened to shoot Gladys if I did't tell him where the money was. But I think he was counting on a level of commitment and affection between her and me that just simply wasn't there.

Vic: Don't you want to know where the money is?

Vic: Don't be so worried. The hard part's done already. Everything worked just like you said it would.::Charlie Arglist: Yeah. I guess.::Vic: Just act normal for a few hours and we're home free. OK?::Charlie Arglist: OK.::Vic: OK.::Charlie Arglist: Uh, you wanna take the money and not me?::Vic: You wanna take the money?::Charlie Arglist: No, I-I-I don't know. I was just...::Vic: Well, if you wanna take the money... I mean, if you think you could do a better job at guarding two-million dollars...::Charlie Arglist: No, no, no. It should be you. It should be you. It's just that we didn't discuss that.::Vic: Are we through discussing it? Or is there more to say on the subject?::Charlie Arglist: No. We're done.::Vic: Cool. OK. Shut the door.::Charlie Arglist: OK.::Vic: And Charlie? Act normal.::Charlie Arglist: Yeah.

Vic: Well? How'd it go?::Charlie Arglist: Good. Went good.::Vic: How much?::Charlie Arglist: A lot.::Vic: Am I gonna have to slap the shit outta you? How much?::Charlie Arglist: Vic, it's a great, big, fuckin' pile of money: two-million - one-hundred - forty-seven-thousand dollars and change. My God, we're actually doing this.::Vic: No, we're not doing it. It's already done.

Pete Van Heuten: [standing outside his home where his wife's family is waiting to have Christmas dinner] That's my chair in there. You wanna know the truth? I can't fill it.::Charlie Arglist: Neither could I, if it makes you feel any better.::Pete Van Heuten: Listen, Charlie. Before we go in, there's something I have to tell you. It's been on my conscience, and you can punch me if you want to.::Charlie Arglist: I don't think I'm gonna want to.::Pete Van Heuten: Back when you and Sarabeth were still married, that last year... she and I were fucking.::Charlie Arglist: [not surprised] No kidding?::Pete Van Heuten: Like minks. Everywhere. Kitchen table, your bed, garage.::Charlie Arglist: Wow.::Pete Van Heuten: Jesus, Charlie, we were friends! It doesn't make you angry?::Charlie Arglist: Actually, it makes me curious. It makes me wonder who she's fucking now.

Renata: [answers phone] Hello?::Charlie Arglist: Renata?::Renata: Charlie.::Charlie Arglist: Listen. You were right. Vic and I have been skimming.::Renata: Well, duh!::Charlie Arglist: I think Roy Gelles must have found out, and I think he might have killed Vic.::Renata: That's terrible!::Charlie Arglist: So I was thinking it might be best if I left town, and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me.::Renata: You have the money?::Charlie Arglist: What? Which?::Renata: The money we're talking about. That you and Vic have been skimming. Try to keep up, OK?::Charlie Arglist: No. Vic had it.::Renata: So, your idea is that we should run away together and be poor?::Charlie Arglist: I thought I'd give it a shot.

Vic: Pay no attention to the man in the trunk.
