Opening Sequence
The opening sequence features the two brothers preparing to blow up a safe as the theme music is sung. Unfortunately for them, the explosion propels the safe through the ceiling and, in the confusion, they both run out of what is revealed to be an upper-storey window.
Having fallen to the ground, they enter their van and prepare to drive off. Victor, laughing, tells Hugo "You know Hugo, it will be alright this time. Nothing can go wrong!" Hugo responds "Yes Victor, I know!" and begins to drive. At this point, the van falls to pieces and the brothers escape that disaster only to find their way blocked by police cars. They turn around and are immediately hit by the falling safe, the door of which falls off to reveal Hugo making his alternative suggestion of the title - "Hugo and Victor. That's what I think, anyway.".

Famous quotes containing the words opening and/or sequence:
“Haven’t you heard, though,
About the ships where war has found them out
At sea, about the towns where war has come
Through opening clouds at night with droning speed
Further o’erhead than all but stars and angels
And children in the ships and in the towns?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
