Man: You only get

one shot at this life,

and you've got to give it

everything you've got.

And that goes for

the women you take,

and the beer you drink.

So come on.

Reach for the star.

Blake, notanother nightmare.

I'm sorry, Cathy,

I can't help it.

It's really starting

to bother me.

Today, I'll talk

to Marshall.

Deejay: Good morning, Denver.

7:00 A.M., and traffic

is flowing smoothly.

Gonna be just a gorgeous day.

Temperatures in

the mid 70s all week.

That's the forecast,

so get out there...

Beer sales up

across the board.

Southeastern

United States

up 23.4%.

Western up 16.6.

Overall increase

in one-week period

ending Friday,

21.2%.

Marshall toy division,

quarterly sales off

nine percent.

That Tommy transvestite

doll is a dud.

We're selling onlyhalf as many dolls.

I like that foreign job.

Who makes it?

Prezoni motors.

Buy it.

The car?The company.

We own the company.

How's it doing?Poorly.

Sell it.

What do you mean,she lost the xerox machine?

How can you losea whole xerox machine?

Gentlemen, the old

think tank perking today?

Yes. Certainly,

Mr. Marshall.

This week, we're workin'

on polyester

poker chips.

Polyester

potato chips!

Super. Eat one, Jenkins.

Sir, excuse me.

I wonder if I mighthave a word with youin my office.

Sure. Anything for

my new head of research.

I've got a minute.

Mr. Marshall,

I appreciate

the promotion.

I really do.

The big office,

money, the prestige.

It's really great.

You deserve it.

We've only been using

your ingredient for

two weeks,

and beer sales

have skyrocketed.

That's what

worries me, sir.

You see, this thing

could conceivably

get out of hand.

I just stumbled on it.

I had no idea...

You're right.

It's a hell ofa nice office.Sir?

How aboutthat secretary, hmm?

Have you everheard her belch?

What?belch.

Honest to god,

she belches withthe best of 'em.

Sir...

About her, sir.

I don't think

she's literate.

She has all sorts

of talents, Blake.

Learn to enjoy life.

You've earned it.

Look, I found it.

I found the

xerox machine.

Good for you, honey.

Hell of a nice office.

Need some paint.

See to that, Jenkins.

Stay on top ofthose potato chips, guys.

Sir...

Hancock. Han...

Man: Famine relief efforts

continue,

but it may be a case of

too little, too late.

From Somalia, this is

Roger wentworth reporting.

Woman: Here's news

from wall street.

The dow Jones average

was down more than two points

as investors engaged in

heavy profit-taking.

Speaking of profits,

here's a hot tip

from ksqr.

Man: Marshall beer of Denver--

always one of the nation's

smaller breweries--

has vaulted into

national prominence.

Figures disclosed today

show that Marshall,

led by an aggressive

advertising...Advertising?

Is that right, Blakely?

We'll just seeabout that.

Sir, I've got something

very important to tell you.

Save it forthe board meeting,jenkins.

We're late already.

Sir, I really think...Save it!

Gentlemen, ladies.

I'm sorry I'm late.

That's okay,

Mr. Marshall.

You're damn rightit is.

As I'm sure you'rewell aware,

the quarterlyreports are in.

A brief rundownshows a numberof things.

First off, thingsare looking up

in ladies underwear,eh, Wilson?

Home appliances areup three percent.

We're lookingpretty good,

with one notableexception.

Man: Here it comes.

What's going onin toys, tinker?

Sir, I...Save it!

Right now, we're goingto talk about beer.

You've heard rumors.

Well, you'veheard right.

A 20% sales increasein two weeks.

Two weeks!

And you know what?

That's nothing.

Not even the tip ofthe proverbial iceberg.

I'm going totell you why.

I'm sure you've allhad a chance to meet

our new head of researchblake teegarden.

Some weeks ago,

teegarden came to me

with a small vial of liquid.

I couldn't believe

what he told me.

Added to our beer,

this stuff makes it

irresistible.

Practically addictive.

No matter how many

Marshall beers you drink,

you want more.

What's even better,

it's undetectable,

untraceable,

and can't be duplicated

by anyone,

including us.

If we only have

a small vial of it,

how long

will it last?

There's enough

in that little jar

to flavor

the Atlantic ocean,

and we've got

every drop of it.

No, sir,we don't.

What? What was that?

I said...I know what you said.

I was told it couldn't

be duplicated.

Maybe not

duplicated, sir,

but it can

be stolen.

Half the formula

is missing.Half?!

How the hell can you

lose half of it?!

We've been storing it

in two separate vials.

One is added

to the beer,

the other was in

chemical research.

That's the one

we're missing.

Find it, Jenkins.

Only six people

have access

to the blue room

where the stuff

is kept.

Four are in

this room.

They check out.

That leaves

Meredith Casey

in chemical research,

and teegarden.

You think teegarden

stole it?

No, sir,

I don't.

However, miss Casey

is another story.

The thing is...

What?!

She used to work for

lakeside breweries.

Most of you are aware,

lakeside brews four beers,

but only one

nationally.

Come on, Joe,

make your point.

She called in sick

Friday.

No one has seen her

or been able to reach her

for three days.

We've run a spot survey

on western beer sales

over the last

48-hour period.

El macho sales

show a net 14% increase.

Lakeside.

That bitch!

As you can see,

our sudden andrather dramaticincrease in sales

is due solelyto this ingredient,

and, of course,to the foresightof Ms. Richards.

Oh, thank you, dear.

My late husband--

rest his soul--

was a pioneer

in this business.

Hell, everyone knows

that only faggots

drink Marshall.

Yes, ma'am.

Would you care for

some tea, sir?

Dear, would you

pour for us?

As I was saying,

it will bea massive media battle

to reach the market first.

However, if marshallhappens to losethe ingredient,

the problem becomespurely academic.

And you want me

to obtain

the rest of

the formula?

Sounds interesting.

"Interesting"?

For $5 million,

let's hope it'smore than interesting.

Touche.

Chateau margaux, 1955,

I believe.

Excellent.

Well, you certainly doknow your tea.

A hobby.

Let's not forgetwe're talkingbeer here, sir.

Understood?

Indicum. Hybrid, lapana.

Gerber Daisy.

48 petals.

This one has 49.

I still don'tknow your name.

Really?

I have to make

the check out

to someone.

No problem, Mrs. Richards.

I have a stamp.

Doll face, time for a swim.

The heater's not working.

I said in the pool now!

Move!jerk!

Well?

It's been confirmed.

Lakeside evidently

discovered the bug,

but not before

we found out

what we needed

to know.

You sexist pig!

Say, cupcake,

see how long

you can hold your breath

underwater, okay?

That's better.

Go on.

They hireda private agent--

supposedly the best.

Maybe we should do the same.

Yes, sir, I've gotsomebody in mind.

A local freelancer--low profile.

Plays your basichardball.

Sounds like

my kind of guy.

Jesus Christ,

with lungs like that,

you should be able

to live down there.

Try again.

What's this guy's

name, anyway?

Mullins, sir.

Fred mullins.

Better known as

crummy Fred.

Boy: Check out the nerds!

Bring me a beer,

there, sexy.

Girl: Look at

those geeks!

Boy: What's

the matter,

gimps?

No place to play?

Boy: Some nut'sgot a bb gun.

Take cover!

Some guyhas a bb gun.

Ohh!

Gosh, how crummy!

What have you done?!

Not again!

All these houses

look the same.

Are you gonna pay forthis, Fred?

Are you gonna fix it?

You just wait untilgeorge gets home.

Your car's in my garage.

Fred!

Listen, damn it!

I am not gonna

tell you again.

We were pursuing

a known criminal,

and I am sorry

that your mother got shot.

Christ, you woulda thought

I killed the bitch.

Where the hell

have you been?

Target practice.

Any messages?

Yeah. D.A.'S officecalled.

Told 'emyou were out of town.

Guy next door came by.Told him you wereout of town.

Finance company called.Told 'em you were dead.

Marshall...marshall industries called.

Marshall industries?

Yeah. Marshallindustries.

Some guy named Jenkins.

Why? What'd youdo to him?

Miss Shepard,take a letter, please.

Where?what?

These 4-r forms

have to go to

bascom's office.

Who?bascom in accounting.

I never heard

of him.

Sign this.

Okay, what am

I signing?

What am I signing?

Hey, what did I sign?

What is this?

It says "electric forks."

They are electric forks.

They're prototypes.

Are colors capitalized?

Colors--red, green,

blue, yellow.

No!good.

"Dear Mr. Green..."

Sir!what?

The bascom forms.

What are those?

4-r, sir, 4-r.

Solar pencil.

I'm notgonna sign this.

Polyesterpoker chips,

electric forks,solar pencils.

Whatever it is, hancock,you take care of it, okay?

It's all the way over!

Straighten out.

Straighten out,

you mother!

Oh-ho!

You shoulda stuckto basketball, bill.

Nah. All Shepards

play golf.

It's in our blood.

Newsweeksays so.

Fire away.

It's your golf bag!

What you waitin' for?

Those guys onthe fairway.

Would you be real?

You couldn't hit 'em

with a Cannon!

That is, unless,

of course,

you've invented

a supersonic

golf ball.

No, hardly.

I work onmore important things

like polyesterpoker chips.

And certain beverages,

old buddy.

Hey, you don'tknow about that, remember?

All right,

all right.

Blake!

Blake, isn't that

Spence markham

from first national?

Man, would I

love his account.

Look at you.

Look at me,for cryin' out loud.

Don't you rememberour college days, huh?

You and me and Meredith--

we were gonna changethe whole word.

What happened, buddy?

Man, just think about

all the reallybeneficial things

this ingredientcould work in.

Do you know thatthere are enough

protein-rich substancesin the ocean alone

to feedthe entire planet?

Blake, you sound like

a goddamn pbs documentary.

All we gotta dois learn how tomake it taste decent.

Like seaweed

and all that shit.

Plankton.right.

My wife's cooking.Exactly.

It gets worse.

Meredith has disappeared,

and she took

some of the

stuff with her

to a competitor.

Meredith?i don't believe it.

Why would shedo that?

I don't know.

Jealousy, envy.

Sour grapes.

You knowwhat they say--

"a woman scorned..."

Does Cathy know?

Not yet.

That conniving little snot!

I told you

she was no good.

I told you

not to bring her here.

Come on.

She was one ofthose communists

that spray paintedthe homecoming float

before the stanfordgame, remember?

The whole sororitystayed up all night

pasting on thoseteeny-weeny azaleas.

What are youlaughing at?

I wasn't laughing.

That was a long time ago.

Why do youalways defend her?

Meredith and I

share a mutual respect.

I can't believewhat I am hearing.

Open your eyes, baby.

She crossed you.

She stole yourprecious ingredient.

Because I let her down.

I've let everybody down.

Cathy, don't you see

what's happening here?

Promotion, raise,

status.

Marshall thinks

he can buy me now.

"Here lies Blake teegarden--

human marshmallow."

It's hardlythat bad, Blake.

You've gota great job,

great kids.

A super-sexy wife.

Worry about it tomorrow,marshmallow balls.

"Marshmallow balls."

"Marshmallow balls"?

Well...

We'll just see

about that,

tangerine tits.

Mary, Billy,

eat your breakfast.

We don't want

to be late for school.

Mommy, I don't like

butter on my toast.

Eat the other side.

Morning, sweetie.

Will you hand me

the orange juice?

Sure.

Cathy?uh-huh.

There's beerin the refrigerator.

Marshall beer.

Haven't you heard?

Prohibition's

been repealed.

I thought I made it rather clearthe other night

that there wasto be no beer.

When friends drop by,

it's only polite

to offer something

besides kool-aid.

And, speaking

of friends,

I invited bill and Laura

over for dinner

a week from Thursday.

Don't forget.

Yes, and since whendoes beer come infive packs?

So I was thirsty.

Excuse me.

So, what's

going on today?

Oh, I don't know.

Every day's an adventure

in that zoo.

You work in a zoo, daddy?

Yes, Billy, daddy works

in the zoo.

No, he doesn't.

Daddy makesmarshall beer.

Everybody drinksmarshall beer.

That's right, honey.

Not me.

I drink El macho.

What?

I will when

I'm old enough.

Tommy's dad says

it puts hair on

your chest.

I don't wanthair on my chest.

Everybody drinksmarshall beer.

Right, daddy?

That's right, honey.

Everybody drinks

Marshall beer.

No, no, no.

Have youworked here long?

About a year.

For Mr. Teegarden?

No, he's only been here

a couple of weeks.

Oh! I'll bet hereally enjoyshis work, huh?

Yes.

I mean, no.

I don't think he

likes his job at all.

He's always complaining.

Oh.

About what?

Lots of things.

But especially about beer.

Oh.

You know, I don't think

he likes Mr. Marshall.

But didn't Mr. Marshallgive him this nice job?

Yes.

Yes. Ooh, yes!

Thank you.

Thisis all you got?

We're working on it.

You'll havea decent picturewhen we find one.

What about money?

Name your terms.

Five hundred dollars.

Five hundred dollars?

Plus expenses.

I don't come cheap.

Take it or leave it.

You got a deal.Good.

Wait a minute!

Here! I've seen him here.

Where'd you see him?

Personnel.

Damn!

Jenkins: That's incredible.

It's more than incredible.

It's perfect.

That's the greatest

paint job I've ever seen.

And he only used

one coat.

Really?

He's been here.

I'll get him.

Excuse me.

Can you show me where

the nearest exit is?

Over there.

Oh. Of course.

How silly of me.

Yeah. Hey!

Uh!

Woman: Ladies, bridal world is now beer and bridal world--

Colorado's first

brewery boutique.

To celebrate

our grand opening,

we're giving away

a free case of Marshall beer

with every wedding dress.

Yaa!

Disgraceful, isn't it?

What?

All these people

and the drinking,

and all it leads to.

They seemperfectly happy.

You really think so?

It's not as hopeless

as it seems.

Together, we can

stop this, Mr. Teegarden.

Don't be alarmed.

Listen, perhaps we canspeak about thisin private.

Uh...well,there, perhaps.

All right, what is

this all about?

Who are you,

and how do you

know my name?

What'll it be, guys?

We got Marshall,

Marshall lite,

Marshall stout, Marshall dark,

and Marshall ale.

Coffee?

Coffee?!

Hey, everybody,

the wimp wants coffee!

How about you, Rambo?

Milk and cookies?

Coffee'll be fine.

Two coffees!

We're very concerned

about this situation,

as, of course,

you are.

"We"?who's we?

Pardon me.

My name is

Robert Johnson.

I represent the

church of Jesus Christ

of latter-day saints.

You're a mormon?

Are you surprised?

Two coffees.

What do you wantwith me?

The church has become

increasingly concerned

with the moral

deterioration

caused by this

situation.

I repeat--what do youwant with me?

You can get me

into the blue room.

You know aboutthe blue room.

Of course.

It's one thingto know aboutthe ingredient.

It's quite anotherthing to destroy it.

Listen, please believe me.

Once we're in there,

we can get the job done,

and you can

get us in there.

Or at least,

your badge can.

How am I gonnado that?

The badge is sensitizedto begin with.

You knowwhat that means?

I try to walk outthe front door

with that thingunder my coat,

the whole citylights up.

Leave that to me.

You can reach me

at this number.

Mr. Teegarden,

we're counting

on you.

All of us.

Deejay: This just in.

A couple of Fender-benders

have really snarled traffic

up around the mousetrap,

so if you're

stuck in that mess,

sit back, smile,

and stay cool, all right?

Why don't you

watch where you're goin'?

Get outta here!

Get out of the way!

Come on, get out!

Damn!

Son of a bitch!

82% of adult americansnow drink beer regularly.

The beer drinking agewas lowered to sixyesterday,

meaning there'sa whole new marketout there.

Our profit and loss statement

will be ready bythe end of the week.

And that's our problem.

A beer war.

I don't need some

Ivy league accountant

to tell me that,

at 20 cents a can,

we're not making

diddily squat.

Sir, as long aslakeside hasthe ingredient,

we have to becompetitive.

The solution seems

pretty damn obvious.

Find out if

Fred mullins

plays golf.

I can't believeyou told himyou could play golf.

How hard can it be?

Did you get me

some clubs?

Son of a bitch!

Somebody broke into

my car and stole

my clubs!

And my brand-new am/fm

super-deck cassette

with built-in equalizer!

No shit!

Marshall invited youto play golf with him?

Yeah, he just

called me up

out of the blue.

I'm impressed,old buddy,I'm impressed.

By the way,where did youget those shoes?

Oh, yes. Well...

Cathy bought me these.

She felt they suited

my new image.

I have to wear them.

Mmm. She also buythe little blue pants?

That's right.

Awesome, Blake.Totally awesome.

I got a gameto get to.

I'll talkto you later.

See ya.

Hey, Blake,how ya doin'?

Hancock, what are

you doing here?

I'm playin' golfwith you.

No, you're not.

What are you

doing here?

Good morning,

Blake.Morning, sir.

You know Fred mullins.

My caddymisty Roberts.

Charmed.

Let's roll.

Give me the wooden one.

Which one?

This is the first

hole, isn't it?

Use your head.

Marshall: You're

up, mullins.

Hey, that Marshall guyain't too shabby,is he?

Hands off, honey.

He's all mine.

Yeah. So?

The numbers on

the wooden ones

only go up to five.

What are we going

to do now?

Use the metal

ones, stupid.

They go up

to nine.

I'll get 'em,

miss Roberts.

Blake, we got

real problems.

Lakeside is proving

to be a royal pain

in the ass.

Hey!

I've asked Fred here

to pay them a visit.

I think the bad guys

have held the ingredient

long enough, don't you?

I'll take two

people with me--

my associate

misty Roberts,

and Mr. Teegarden.

I'll need someone

who can identify

this stuff.

Is this some sortof a joke?

I'm not goin' anywhere.

I'm not asking you

to do this

for free, Blake.

It will be well worth

your while.

No, no, you're...

This is...

You're serious.

You object,

Mr. Teegarden?

No, but I'm not going.

I can go.

I've worked with

him before.

I can identify

the vial.

Is that right?Teegarden?

Yes, sir,that's right.

That is why youbrought him along,isn't it--

just in case?

All right.Hancock it is.

Go on.

We leave Friday night.

The brewery's about

20 miles east of

San Diego.

There's a small

landing strip

out in the foothills.

We fly in at night,

then lie low on Saturday.

We hit 'em

Saturday night.

All right,let's go for it.

You got it, boss.

Man: Attention, shoppers,

attention.

Today only, Marshall beer

is on special

for five dollars

a case.

That's right, only

five dollars a case.

Look for the free gift coupon

on the box.

Bet you can't drink

just one.

Man on TV: Hey, buckaroos.

It's time for America's

favorite TV cowboy.

I think he's

workin' too hard.

Hey!

Could yousign this, please?

Miss Shepard: Mr. Teegarden,your wife just called,

said to pick upyour suit atthe cleaners.

Bill and lauraare coming overfor dinner tonight.

Hancock: Miss Shepard,

have you seen

my solar pencil?

I think I left it

in the lab.

If teegarden finds it,

he'll kill me.

You know, alcohol'll

clean that up

good as new.

Got any Marshall beer?

Hmm?

Cathy: All right, six.

I'm in!

I don't believe it.You're on a yellow one.

Can you believe it, Laura?

He ruins three suits

in one week--

two in one day.

Honestly, Blake,

I'm not Mrs. Michael Jackson.

Bill: Michael Jackson!

Cathy: Your wardrobe is

nothing to brag

about as it is.

By the way, Cathy,that dinner was super.

You have got to give methe recipe for thosepotatoes, girl.

I put Marshall beer

in them.

What, Cathy, what?

The recipe

was on the can.

Can we play now, guys?

Okay, here we go.

"Who was the president..."James k. Polk.

My god, he's right!

Lucky guess.

Lucky guess?!

Okay, okay.

"What river..."

The Amazon.2,417 miles.

He's right!

I just memorizedall six million answers.

Oh, my god, i'veachieved yuppie nirvana.

Enlightened yuppie-dom.

This calls for

a celebration.

Laura: Yuppie nirvana!

Bill: To conspicuousconsumption.

Come on, Blake,

down it.

Yeah, down it.

Mommy, I can't sleep.

Oh, honey,

just a minute.

Cathy, could you...?

That's okay, sweetheart.

Mommy will tuck you

in...Oh!

On second thought.

Good try, Cathy.

It's a good try.

Bill: To a good try.

The American way.

Look at you people.

What is goin' on here?

My best friends, my wife.

What's happened to you?

What happened to

your self-respect,

your integrity?

I gotta hand it toyou, Blake, old buddy.

You know how to makeone hell of a good brew.

Here's toblake teegarden--

dedicated scientist,

conscience ofa new generation.

Yeah. Yeah,

that's me, all right.

Conscience of

a generation.

I don't know.

Maybe there's still time

for me to get off my butt

and do something here.

What do you folks

think, huh?

What are we gonna do, huh?

Come on, America,

what do ya say?

I need your help, gang.

I can't do it alone.

What do ya say--

we gonna put on a show?

Huh?

All those in favorof immediate action,

nod your headsviolently. Bill?

Buddy, thanks.I mean it.

Laura. Thank you, sweetheart.

Cathy, huh? Yes.Love you, babe.

Excellent. We havea consensus!

Yes!

Fascinating.

You say there's

a special elevator

just for the blue room?

Yeah, it's got

a really neat code,

and everything.

Amazing.

Uh, care forsome wine?

Sure.

Now this isan exquisite chardonnay.

Subtle butenervating.

Savor it.

Not bad.

Got any Marshall beer?

Hello.

Blake: Yeah, I've

decided to help.

How do I get

the badge to you?

Uh-huh.

Oh!

Now listen,

and this is vital.

Blue room access

must be programmed

at least 48 hours

in advance.

All right, now,

I will arrange it so

you can get in there

Saturday at midnight.

That's the lightest shift

of the week.

Yeah, you got that?

Saturday at midnight.

Good night.

You look like

you could use

some excitement.

Deejay: Good morning,

mile high city,

and happy Friday to you.

T.g.i.f., right?

Look for a real

hot one today

and some super

weekend weather.

Hi there. Hi.

No, it's all right.

I'll sign this.

And there you are.

Have a very nice day.

Have a niceweekend, gentlemen.

Thank you.

So, hancock,are we stillon for tonight?

On?

You know what I mean.Lakeside.

We leave tonight

as planned.

Good.

Hey, you didn't tell

anyone about this,

did ya?

Of course not,hancock.

You can't be

too careful.

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey!

They got teegarden.

What?

Teegarden.they kidnapped teegarden.

When?

Parking garage,just now.

There was ten guys,there was five guys,there was two guys.

They grabbed him.Shit!

No. We don't know

who's got him.

You, out!

Now, goddamn it. Out!

What difference doesit make who's got him?

Look, teegarden

just called me.

He's on to something big--

something bigger than beer.

What's that gotta dowith the police?

Teegarden says

this new deal

will mean

more money

than anybody has

ever dreamed of.

We have to make sure

that boy isn't hurt.

No cops.

We wait to see

who they are

and what they want.

No cops!

Marshall.

Jenkins, sir.

The plant is secured,

but there's no sign of

Mr. Teegarden.

That's okay, Jenkins.

False alarm.

Mr. Teegarden

is right here with me.

Very good, sir.

I'll pass the word.

That's fine, Jenkins.

Hey, who do you thinkgrabbed my...

Isn't it obvious?

Who were the only

people besides us

that know teegarden's

real claim to fame?

Lakeside?

Why would theygrab teegarden?

He can't duplicatethe formula.

They don't know that.

God, what rotten luck.

We've got to get him back

before they find out

what he's on to.

Damn it!

Why couldn't they have

kidnapped you?

I think we'reall clear.

Jesus, bill,

you didn't have

to be so rough.

Rough?! You said make itlook realistic.

I said realistic,

not sadistic.

Blake, this is

ridiculous.

I've never been

so scared in

my entire life.

Honey, there's

no other way.

Well, Blake, old buddy,we are now committed.

We always were, pal.

Maybe we should

be committed.

This is crazy!

Bill: She's got a pointthere, Blake.

Are you sure

this is gonna work?

Of course I'm sure.

It's worked up to now.

I've packed yourtoothbrush

and your pajamas--the green ones.

The ones with

the alligators

on them. Great!

Those are my favorite.

I want you to remember

to make the phone call

exactly at 1:30.1:30. I know.

Now relax, relax.

Just take care

of yourself, all right?

Yeah. California,

here I come.

Blake, be careful.

By now, every policemanin the city islooking for you.

No, I don't think so.

Take care

of yourself.

Bye. See ya.

Hancock! Where's hancock!

Sent him backto get therest of the stuff.

You the pilot?

Yes, sir.

P.J. Yarborough,

at your service.

Welcome aboard.

Will this thing fly?

Shoot, can a frog fart?

Is that your co-pilot?

No, ma'am,

that's an ape.

Have another, munchy.

Yeah, old munchy,

he's the real Pete.

Done offer him

none of that

light beer, though.

He'll tear your

whole head off.

Light's are on,

but nobody's home.

Just as longas he can fly this crate.

Yeah, I guess so.

Hey, hancock!

Pow! Pow, pow, pow!

Pow, pow, pow!

No, no, no, no.

No, look.

You are doing thisall wrong.

I am?

Yeah, you are.

What'd I do wrong?

You've got to useyour senses.

Senses, get it?

All right,put the gun down.

Grab the flashlight.

Practice with me.Okay.

Okay?stand up.

Okay, I want youto stand right here.

Right here?

Okay, now the keyto this

is you've gotto pretend thati am the enemy.

You're the enemy.I'm the enemy.

Turn the flashlight on.

Hey, misty, I can't

see nothin'.

That's the point.

That's the point.Good. Senses.

Oh, I sensed that.

You sensed that?

I sense ya,

I sense ya.

All right, then,sense this.

Oh, that hurts!

Man: Use the force, hancock.

Use the force.

Yeah, I sense you.I sense you.

Oh, I sense the pain.

That's better.

Sweet dreams,hancock.

Ah!

Misty, maybe you

oughta get some

rest, too.

We've got a...

All right! Hey, everybody,

we're here!

No shit?We're over San Diego?

That's right. It's...

What? It's not there.

It's gone.

The whole city's gone.

Take it easy.

Oh, my god! It's gone!

Whole cities don'tjust disappear.

You're right.

It was just

a big cloud.

Where's the landing strip?

I don't seeany lights.

No problem.

Old Billy boy

won't light

up the strip

until he hears us.

Should be comin' up

any time now.

Over there.

All right! Roger dodger

and all that good stuff!

All right, everybody,

hold on.

We're goin' in.

It's gonna be

a little rocky.

Man: Silencio.

Mullins: Let's go.

What the...?

Man: Federales! Andale!

Marijuana!

You idiot!

This is Mexico!

Damn! All these

landing strips

look alike!

Come on, move it!

Adios, amigos.

I'm outta here.

I surrender, I surrender,

I surrender.

Mullins: This bastard'sleaving without us.

Get back here,you moron!

There's a Jeep.

Let's take this one.

Hancock: Wait for me.

Wait for me!

Don't shoot, kemo sabe.

Amigo, amigo.

Misty: Shut up,you geek!

Woman: Hi.

Welcome to lakeside,

the oldest brewery

in the western United States.

My name is Roxanne.

I'm going to be

your tour guide

this morning.

Please, everybody,

walk this way.

The sounds you're hearingare the brewery pumps

pumping 24 hours a day.

And as you may know,

lakeside'sel macho beer

is the second-largestselling beer

in the world,soon to benumber one.

Now we're allgoing to enterthe aging room,

so please,everybodystay together

and watch your step.

Follow me.

Ah! Damn thing always

works on TV.

Hey!

Oh, hi there. Hi.

I'm, uh...

I seem to be lost.

Freeze, you scumball.

Come on, stop.

Stop!

Hey, hey,

please stop!

Hey, come on.

Running faster.

Hey, fancy meeting

you here.

Someone's out there

shooting me with a gun--

a real gun.

Guard: Cover the west wing.I'll do the third floor.

Wilma, check outthe ladies bathroom.

May I help you?

Oh, miss Casey.

This stall

is occupied.

I know.

I just, uh, uh...

Is everything okay?

Good. That's good.

Bye.

Bye!

Now, what is thisall about?

I think you know.

It's time we put

an end to this.

How do you proposeto do that?

Get back the

ingredient,

all of it.

Take back what's mine.

Ours.

What makes you so sureI'll help you?

Why did you call me

at home last Thursday--

to chat?

You didn't really believe

you could justwaltz in here

and steal the vial,did you?

That's patently absurd.

I thought

together maybe...

You, me, and the u.S.Marines, maybe.

Now that you'vebroadcast your presenceover this plant,

you'll be luckyjust to get out of here.

Beat it, sister.We're busy.

We have got to try,

Meredith.

We've got to.

The security systemhere is flawless--perfect.

I designed it.

We haven't lost

that humble touch,

have we?

The point is,you don't evenhave a gun.

All right, what if

I were to tell you

that someone else is

planning to destroy

your vial tonight--

somebody with guns,

lots of guns--

but no brains.

Could we help them?

Possibly.

Possibly.

Do you rememberyour physical sciences?

Ac-DC, positive,negative, all that stuff?

Are you kidding?

Just last week,

I wired Billy's

electric train.

Good enough.

You think this'll

do it, huh?

Yes. So who wasshooting at you,anyway?

I don't know.

Some fat guy.

Harold. Oh, cripes,i hope he didn'thurt himself.

This isn't gonna

hurt anybody,

now, is it ?

Of course not.It's only gonnacut the power.

Make sure youset it for 11 hours.

I know, Meredith,

I know.

I know you havea right to beangry with me.

You could've talked

to me, Meredith.

You saw whatwas happening,

or maybe you didn't.

What's that

supposed to mean?

How much did marshallpay you to keepyour mouth shut--

30 pieces of silver?

Oh, first-rate analogy,

miss Judas.

Wilma: Harold!

Harold, I'm right here.

Hurry, Harold.

Oh, Harold!

Let's go downstairs.

Oh, Harold.

The belt.Let's get the belt.

The belt!

The zipper!

Oh, Harold!

Oh, Harold!

Good god, they're not

going to do it here?!

If what I didwas so wrong,

then why didn't youjust go public?

Why sneakback here?

'Cause maybe I

deserved something, too.

You got chief

of research.

I got nothing.

Nada.zero. Zilch.

No credit,

no respect, no...

Money?yes.

I mean, no.

I mean, it goes

a lot deeper than that.

Is that so hard

to understand?

Oh, Christ, I think

I'm gonna be sick.

What made youchange your mind?

Same reason you

changed yours.

Some things are

still important,

aren't they?

Station 12. Checking out

a problem in the power plant.

Yeah, I'll be right up.

Come on.

Oh, Harold!

Sh!

This is so

frustrating, Harold.

That was traumatic.Let's get outta here.

When I called youthat morning,

how did you knowit was me?

Well, I didn't

at first.

Then I remembered that

nobody but you

calls me Blakely.

I hate that.

One last question...Blakely.

Why, why, why

did you marry

that bubblehead?

I mean, really,

a cheerleader!

I happen to enjoythe company ofsocially gregarious people,

and she's nota bubblehead,

and why did ittake you so longto ask me that flat out?

You must hate me.

And if you don't,

then maybe you should.

I think it would

be good for you.

You are a chemist,not a shrink.

Meredith, it is

not good to hold

these feelings in.

I am very serious.

Do something.

Let it go.

Yell at me, scream,

hit me.

I am not goingto hit you.

Fine. Suit yourself.

Besides, I don't

believe in violence.

Is this Marshall?

Who the hell

do you think it is?

Shut up!

Who is this?

This is the workers'freedom army, baby.

And let me assure you,beer breath,

we got no love for you

or your filthycapitalist pig sty,

nor have we anyfor lakeside, honky!

It is the destiny

of the corruptand decadentcapitalist

to greedilydrown one another

in the slime ofperverted materialism.

And we intend to help you do this.

What?!

There's a dudenamed teegarden.

Lakeside has him.

You want him.

They demand a vial, you offer money.

Now we can get himany time we desire,

but we got no needfor any vial.

But you could use the money.

Bingo, beer breath.

Now you slap$1 million

in locker number threein concourse bof the Denver

international airport.

How do I know

you can get him?

We can get him.

We can also kill him.

No tricks, no surveillance.

The money!

Tonight!

You think ioverdid it?

Could that have

been lakeside?

No, not a chance.

They didn't grabteegarden fora lousy million.

What do we do?

You heard the man.

What choicedo I have?

Hell, a million dollarsis nothing.

Not a thing.

Oh, hell, putthe money in the locker.

Security stakeout?

No, no, we can'trisk it.

I need teegarden.

Hancock, get

your butt

over here!

The border's onlya couple of blocksfrom here.

If we're careful...

Look, I say rush 'em.

Then, I can personally

blow those beaners

halfway to hell.

No, there'stoo many of 'em.

We gotta be

inside lakeside

by midnight tonight.

Hey, maybe we can

just walk through

like everybody else.

Right.

And we'll just declare these

with your plaster pigs.

If we had a car...

Where are we

going to get a car?

We can disguise

the Jeep.

As what?

A Jeep is a Jeep.

Disguise the Jeep.

What?!I'll check out

the border crossing.

Maybe we can

sneak across.

Just be careful.

I mean, who knows?

They might

be looking for us.

No sweat.

Hancock gave me

an idea.

Sombreros? Sombreros?

Sombreros, senor?

Ten dollars.

Ten dollars.

Banderas.

Banderas grandes.

Mexican flags.

Banderas, banderas.

Hey, fella, hey there.

I'll takeone of those.

No, no.

Hey, hello there. Buenos dias, senor.

How much...

Cuantos dollars los piggo?

50 bucks.

Fifty? You mean50 pesos.

No, 50 bucks, gringo.

Fifty?

But the guy over hereonly wants 3.50.

Then buy one from him,

you cheap son of a bitch.

I get it.You wanna bargain.

Okay, one dollar.

Gee, that was easier

than I thought.

Mullins: We'll head east,

then find a soft spotto cross the border.

This is a hell

of a way of spending

a Saturday afternoon.

You gota better idea?

That'sthe border patrol.

I saywait till dark.

Yeah, and I say

let's get 'em now.

I'll blast 'em.

Let's wait two minutes.

We'll make sure.

Do you know what's

gonna happen if we

sit around and wait?

Haven't you tried to kill

enough people for one day?

Will you listen to

this little fart?

Shut up,both of you.

We're all inthis together,

or ain't youfigured thatout yet?

By George, you're

absolutely right.

I apologize,

miss Roberts.

And by George,

you can shove it up...

Roberts.what?

Apologize.

No.roberts!

All right,

you're right.

It's been a long day.

I'm sorry.

Lifesaver?

Gee, thanks.Wait.

Christ almighty!That's a suicidelifesaver.

Oh, my mistake.

I'm so sorry.

I would never

do anything...

All right.Blow it.

Thank you very much.

Let's go.

Jesus.

Wait. Where areyou going?

I'm sorry, my dear,

but I must be on my way.

I have a pressing

appointment at midnight.

So soon?

Do you have to go?

I mean, it wasthe best ever.

You were...You were...

Perfect?

Yes. Yes!

Wait. You nevertold me your name.

Didn't I?

Hurry up.

This is lakeside.

We'll go over here.

I'll go first.

Hancock,

just watch me,

and do exactly

as I do.

I don't thinki can do itthat fast.

Woman: Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to

the mile high city

of Denver, Colorado.

We hope you've enjoyed

your flight from San Diego,

and look forward

to serving you again

in the near future.

Local time is 9:32 P.M.

Blake! Psst!

You okay?

Of course,I'm okay.Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Welcome home.

Right.

Hey, thanks, bill.

Hey, thinknothing of it.

Listen, cathyand the kidsare just fine.

We'll meet you therein an hour.

All right.

Seems like old times, huh?

Off the pigs!

Off the pigs!

I don't like it.

Lakeside must beon full alert and all,

kidnapping teegarden.

It's too quiet.

All I know is

if we get past

that guard house,

we're in the

brewery, right?

Is that the building?

Yeah.all right.

Will you look at that?

No wonder they're

number two.

Great. Let's

get inside.

Hey, what are

you doin'?

Just get in there.

I'll finish him off.

What?! That does it.

Listen, mullins,

this isn't world war III,

for cryin' out loud.

What if he wakes up,you damn fool?

If we leave now,

he'll never know

we were here.

You gutless vegetable!Why take the chance?!

Man: Please state

your name and business.

My name is Cary Grant,

and I have an appointmentwith Mr. Marshall.

The Cary Grant?

Sure. Go right on in.

You're my all-time favorite

movie star, Mr. Grant.

Wait'll I tell my wife.

She was crazy about

Philadelphia story.

Man: Attention, floor five.

Indicate central confirmation

procedure

for elevator

security clearance.

Joe, this is Harry.

Goddamn elevator's stuck.

It's openin'

and closin' and

openin' and closin'.

Yeah? No kiddin'?No kiddin'.

Call maintenance, will ya?

Now?

Now, for Christ's sake.

Geez, Harry, it's almost midnight.

Oh, that's tough.

Harry, guess who's with Jack Marshall right now.

I'll give ya a hint. Listen.

Judy, Judy, Judy.

Harry, did ya hear me?

Judy, Judy, Judy.

Give up? Huh?

This is it.

I knew it.

The brewery

manager's

office.

The laboratory

must be close by.

From here on,no talking,no noise.

Hand signals only.

Killer.

Killer!

Hold it.

Misty, light up.

I think this is it.

Aha! Electronic beam.

I think we can all

get under.

I'll go first,

then misty.

Hancock, watch our rear.

Oh, my god!

Hey, I think

someone's comin'.

Hurry up.

Tanks.

Tanks!

Tanks!

Power failure.

What a break.

Come on.

That must be it.

Hancock, check it out.Right.

Damn! No time!

That's why I came,to identify...

Goddamn it,

put a sock in it!

Blow it!

You got 15 seconds

from the time

I release this.

What do I dowith these?

Throw 'em in.

They'll make

a nice noise.

Hancock, you got the mapwhere's the exit?

Straight ahead.

It's to the right.

If there's one thing

I can do, it's read a map.

"The one thing I can do

is read a map."

I think I brokeevery bone in my body

except the little fingeron my left hand.

Ah!

Mr. Teegarden.

Bit warm fora spot of tea.

Not tea,

Mr. Johnson.

Coffee.

Ah, yes. Coffee.

Mr. Johnson.Mormons. Coffee.

Mormons don'tdrink coffee.

I seem to havemade a mistake.

Is Johnson

your real name?

Ah, miss Casey.

We meet again.

Freeze.

You'll pardon meif I seemsomewhat confused.

May I havesome coffee?

Sure.

Thank you.You bet.

You know, it now

becomes painfully clear

that I could've

broken into that room

at any time,

yet you chose this day

and this hour

that you may join me.

My time wasdemanded elsewhere.

Tonight, your

counterparts

in California

destroyed

lakeside's vial.

However, since their

expertise is no

match for yours...

We felt obligatedto help them a bit.

I'm flattered.

And now, I wouldlike to make youa business proposition.

You want to buy back...

No, no, no,that's not the point.

The money is justfor start-up costs.

The ingredientis the key.

If you could have

anything in the world,

what would it be?

Anything?

Everyone has

a secret dream,

a hidden fantasy--

something so

farfetched as to be

virtually unthinkable.

Together, we could

do great things,

wonderful things.

Interesting.

I suggest wecarry on this conversation elsewhere.

The fireworksare to beginin two minutes.

Hey, hey, hey.

Oh, by the way,

Mr. Teegarden,

why don't you

get rid of

that ridiculous

cap pistol?

Correct me ifI'm wrong,mr. Teegarden,

but it is my impressionthat this ingredient

can be usedonly in beer.

No, beer was

an accident.

It was the first thing

I stumbled on.

I know it can work

in other things.

Beer was easy money.

They don't care.

And you do?

Yes. I know

this will work.

You know, the young ladyis very persuasive.

Well, for starters,

how about seaweed

souffles?

Yeah, how about it?

I could haveyou all arrested.

You won't.

Why not?

You've got too much

to lose.

It seems i'vealready lost it.

You've lost

a few buildings--

insured beyond

their value,

no doubt.

No doubt.

I've also lostthe ingredient.

What's to keep mefrom taking it back?

It's too late.

Lakeside'll scream

bloody murder.

They have no reason

not to,

unless, of course,

neither side has

the ingredient.

Look, we keep quiet,

and we keep

the ingredient, okay?

Sad to say, you'll both

still sell a lot of beer,

even without it.

It'll be our

little secret.

Teegarden, you area son of a bitch.

You're hardly in

a position to

insult him.

Why, Meredith,i meant it Asa compliment.

Blake! Blake!

We're over here.

Oh, that's our ride.

Mr. Marshall,

have a pleasant evening.

It's been fun.

Man: Building four is to be

evacuated immediately.

Repeat: Evacuate building four.

This is a precautionary

measure only.

Hey, hey, hey,good to see you!

How's it goin'?Great. Just great.

Bill, you haven'tchanged a bitsince college.

Meredith, you look

great, too.

Maybe we oughta

get outta here.

Uh, miss Casey,may I offer you a ride?

Since it appearswe'll be working together,

perhaps we can makeone another's acquaintance.

That would be nice,

Mr. Johnson.

Please, you cancall me barkley.

Then tell me, barkley,

your instructions

were to steal the vial,

not blow up

the building.

Isn't this a bit

ostentatious?

This, my dear,was a special favor

to a rather determinedyoung lady.

Oh? And who might

that be?

Don't you just love

happy endings?

I do.

Such a fitting climax

to an esoteric fable

of moral turpitude

and conflicting

social values.

Yet, of course,

viewers of limited

intellectual capacity

may find our message

somewhat oblique.

It is to those I say

sour grapes.

See ya.
