united states twenty-dollar bill
the stripper uses the $20 bill to buy a herbal remedy from mrs. mccormac (gladys knight). mrs. mccormac mails the bill to her grandson bobby (willie marlett) as a birthday present. bobby goes to a convenience store where frank (steve buscemi) and jimmy (christopher lloyd) are engaged in a string of robberies. (during their spree, they prevent angeline from buying a lottery ticket at a liquor store.) not knowing he's a robber, the underage bobby gives jimmy the $20 bill to buy him wine. jimmy goes into the store to find that frank has botched the robbery. jimmy and frank leave, giving bobby and his girlfriend peggy champagne. the police chase the robbers, who hide in a used car lot. after the police pass by, jimmy and frank split up the money, but when frank sees the $20 jimmy got from the kid, he assumes that jimmy is holding out on him. jimmy tries to explain but frank pulls a shotgun on him. jimmy shoots frank and takes all the money they've stolen, but leaves the $20 bill. the bill, now dripped with frank's blood, winds up in the police evidence locker but falls into the wrong box.
