whenever there is some sort of heist movie, where they have to do some really complicated thing or stunt or steal money from a bank or whatever that is really really protected and secure because they have a special kind of safe that nobody in the world has and cant open unless they have certain fingerprints or they turn the dial a certain number of ways with the correct fingerprints and stick their face in it or look at something with your eyeball, they always have to prepare for that sort of thing with measuring and lots and lots of testing with stopwatches and such, you know. especially when all the traffic lights turn to green, they need to know all that stuff or usually they hire a guy thats really really really good at hacking and he makes it so all the lights change just in the nick of time. probably a lot of “lets run through that again”s and “lets do that again”s are taking place, its a real sensitive time so you need to run through it a lot.

they need to time everything just right and just so, and probably they practice that lots and lots of times at some sort of other location where they have set up some fake set of exactly whats going to happen and they also try to come up with all of the obstacles and question-marks and unknowns that could possibly happen but of course they cant really do that because they arent called “unknowns” for nothing, and then inevitably when they actually go to do the heist there some unknown that they didnt test but they still usually get the gold out of the safe from the casino or whatever, you know.

just thinking of all those measurements really boggles my mind! (insert boggley eyes here)
