The Party Has Just Begun
The bank (Sveriges Kreditbanken) was located in Stockholm’s upscale Norrmalmstorg square. The man was an escaped convict with one hand holding a loaded submachine gun and the other holding a briefcase full of ammo, explosives, rope, socks, sunglasses, walkie-talkies, and a knife and transistor radio.
He pulled out the gun and fired it at the ceiling. Everything and everyone in the bank came to a sudden halt. They watched in terror as some man in makeup, with a brown wig and toy store glasses – whose mustache and eyebrows are dyed black – took control of the bank. In English, he yelled out, “The party has just begun!”
(Investigators later learned that the line was from an American movie about a convict on the loose.)
