Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (1991) - full transcript

[STAR-SPANGLED BANNER
PLAYING ON RADIO]

MAN: [ON RADIO]
Woo! Yeah!

[APPLAUSE]
Well, that's about it.

That's about it
for this Independence Day

as the clock rocks 12:00,
ladies and gentlemen,
on July 5th, 1996.

And you know,
fellow Americans,

we are now 220 years old.

We've just about,
of course, wiped out
the ozone layer.

Uh-huh. We live
under a continual

first stage smog alert,
and there's a brand-new drug,

I don't know if you've
heard this by now?



Check this out,
are you ready for this?

There's a new drug
out there

for the kids of America
to bury themselves with.

It's called Crystal Dream.
Can you believe it?

Now, listen to this.
You don't drink it,
you don't smoke it,

you don't snort it,
and you don't shoot it.

What do you do?
I know you're asking yourself.

What do you do
with this thing?

Well, what you do is
you put it in your eyes

and apparently
it tells you lies, all right?

I'll tell you,
all this decadence,

and we still haven't
nuked ourselves out of here.
It's amazing.

With a little luck and
a whole lot of hope,

I think maybe the human race
might live to see
another 220 years.



And with that in mind,
happy birthday, America!

MAN: Give me the money!

Open the register
and give me the
fuckin' money now!

Don't hurt her.Shut up!

Can I get, uh,
10 bucks on pump two...

Suzie?

Hit the floor, asshole!

MAN: Stay down.

You know, this really
pisses me off.

Your store's got
such nice, clean,
filter-fresh air,

and it just takes
a couple of scumbags
to stink it up.

I said hit
the floor, asshole,

or I'm gonna blow
your fuckin' head off!

You know,
if I had a nickel
for every time

some piece of shit
pointed a gun at me,

I'd be a rich man.

[GRUNTS] [GUN FIRES]

I'm going to cut you
long, wide, and deep,
motor head.

[GRUNTS]

Pump all the gas
you can hold.

That's not good business.

Hey, mister.

Got a name?

Harley.

Harley Davidson.

You know, my old man
used to tell me,

before he left
this shitty world,

the five rules
when shooting a game
of pool for cash.

Lesson number one,

always shoot with
a cigarette hangin'
in your mouth.

Can't smoke
with no fire, asshole.

I quit.

Lesson two,

always know the table
before you shoot.

Lesson number three,

make sure you chalk
that stick real good
before each shot.

Lesson four,

never make a bet

if you can't
pay the debt.

Lesson number five,

if you lose,

stand up
straight and tall.

That corner.

And walk like a man.

MAN 1: I don't believe it.
I don't believe it!

MAN 2: Well done, cowboy.

School's out, boys.

You better get the hell
out of town, cowboy,

before my cord snaps.

I'm good to go...

Soon as I got
five big bills
in my pocket,

or your woman
in my bed.

MAN 3: Whoo!
Flash knife, cochise!

Well, I ain't got
no $500, cowboy.

And there's no way in hell

you're beddin' down my woman.

My old man said
there'd be blue-bellied,

chicken-shit bastards
like you.

You jumped on
the wrong horse,
cowboy.

Just in case
you didn't notice,

you're the only cowboy
in this place.

MAN: He ain't
no cowboy.

He's more like
a pretty boy.

[LAUGHING]

Pretty boy.

[GRUNTING]

Hey, if he's such
a pretty boy,

you should be able
to handle him
all by yourself.

Son of a bitch.

[GROANS]

Pretty boy, huh?

Whoa!

[GLASS SHATTERING]

[GRUNTS]

Hey, Marlboro,
when the hell
are you gonna learn

to hustle guys
you can hustle?

You know, you gotta
think things out.

You think, Harley.
I survive.

Where the hell
you been, anyway?

Fixin' bikes.

Little shithole
outside of Dallas.

For two years?

I been thinkin'.

For two years?

I've been thinkin'
about life.

That's the trouble
with you, Harley.

You think too damn much.

HARLEY: Man,
I hate this city.
But it's home, huh?

It's that time again,
ain't it, Harley?

Well, you're the only
family I got, Marlboro.

Goddamn, that's
a cryin' shame.

I could've had
a family with Jenny Ann,

but marriage is
for those other guys,
you know.

Amen.

Do you ever wonder
if there could be
something better?

[CHUCKLES]

Every day.

I don't mean like that.
I mean somethin'...

Somethin' different.

Talking about heaven?

I mean like...
I mean like God.

You didn't go and get
religious on me now,
did you?

No, man,
but, I mean just
think about it.

If there is a...
If there is a heaven
and a God...

I'd like to
meet the dude.

You know, I'd like
to go up there and
hang out with him.

Well, you ain't gonna
meet God with me.

When I'm dead
and done,

I don't want
no damn excuses
for what I did.

Burbank. What happened?

The future.

Can you believe it?

They turned Burbank
into a goddamn
international airport.

[STOP THE WORLDPLAYING]

[ENGINE SPUTTERS]

Shit. Son of a bitch.

[HARLEY LAUGHS]

You're a goddamn mess,
Marlboro.

You need a new pair
of boots and a new bike.

Lay off my boots.

But you're right about
this rice-grinding horse.

Shit. Piece of shit.

I oughta give it a bullet
and put it out of its misery.

Goddamn, Harley.

If you were shootin'
for shit, you wouldn't
even get a whiff.

Hey.

Happy birthday.

You son of a bitch.

I almost forgot.

.44 Mag Desert Eagle.

Eight in the clip.
One in the pipe.

That's nice, man.

Thanks.

How's it feel
to be an old man?

Older the bull,
the stiffer the horn.

You gotta squeeze
the trigger, Harley.

Don't yank it.
It's not your dick.

Squeeze it.

LULU: [SINGING]
♪ All the tears inside

♪ What an ache it will bring

God, I love this place.

♪ Then I'll wander home

can I tell my heart?

Hey, Old Man,
half-time's over.

You got a restaurant
to run.

Man alive, Harley.

[CHUCKLES]
So good to see you.

I'm gonna regret it.
I always do.

Yeah.
Who are the suits?

Go back to wherever
it is you ran off to.

I can't do that.
I got some
unfinished business.

Some business is
better left unfinished.

Not this business.
I'll see you around.

♪ Then I'll wander home

will I tell my heart?

♪ Oh

You got a death wish?

You better leave that
one alone, Harley.

You don't think Jack's
still pissed off, do you?

Pissed off at ya? Nah.

He wants to kill ya.

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

Hey,
what's happening,
Jose?

Look what the
cat drug in.

Que pasa, amigo?

How you doing?
Good to see you.

Says he didn't
think you were
ever comin' back.

Chompin' at the bit
waitin' for
some action.

Hey, hey, man,
me and you are gonna
rock 'n' roll, brother.

Jimmy and, uh,
Jack here?

Said he doesn't think
you should go in.

If you do,
you're dead.

But then, it's better
to be dead and cool

than alive and uncool.

JIMMY: $100 on Marlon!
What you got?

$200 on Marlon!
$100 on Marlon!

$200 on Jack! Yeah!
Make your bets.

$200 on Jack.
$200 on Jack.

[CROWD CHATTERING]

Well, goddamn.
Does he look like
he's gotten bigger?

Hmm, maybe a little.

The book is closed!
It is time for
the main event.

Get set, gentlemen.

Now, may I ask
one thing back here?

And that is two things.
Be fair and be cool.

Wrestle!

Come on, Jack!
Come on, Jack!

Come on, Jack!
Come on, Jack!

[CROWD SHOUTING]

Jack, what...
Jack?

[GRUNTING]Goddamn!

Goddamn it, Harley,
what are you
doin' back here?

I missed all you guys.

I'm gonna kill you,
Harley.

Told you.JACK: Get ready.

Hey, look.
Jack, I don't want
to fight with you.

We're friends.

Was friends.

Can't we
talk this out?Not a chance.

Talk's cheap.
And I'm not buyin' any.

Hey, Jimmy,
you wanna help me out
here a little?

This is your world, homes.
I'm just livin' in it.

Hurry up, Harley.

It's gonna be
bloody but quick.

You hold on.

MARLBORO: How much
do you think we can
get for this jacket?

What'd he say?

Vaya con Dios, amigo.

What's that mean?

Go with God.

Hey now, Jack,

you know,
the last time
we did this,

I kicked your ass, Jack.

Well, that was
in high school,
Harley,

and Jack
had a broken arm.

Yeah, well
I'm the one
that did it.

You remember, Jack?

Goddamn it!

He was doin'
pretty good
up to there.

[GROWLING]

MAN: Kill him!

Ohh!

I can't watch this.

MARLBORO: Uh-oh.

He's fucked.

I'm gonna kill you,
Harley.

I just picked
the wrong flower.

I'd kill for you,
Harley.

How could you
do that to me?

Huh?

I've always been bad company

when there's
a good-looking woman
in the room.

Stay away
from her, Harley.

I love her.
We're married.

It's always
only been you, Jack.

She loves you.

She does, huh?Just you.

Never you?No. Just you.

Sorry, buddy. Sorry.

I should've never
let you in the door,
Harley.

Thanks, man.

Never. Never.

Never.Sorry.

Goddamn it, Jack!

I mean you're my
brother-in-law
and I love you,

but that don't get back
the couple of grand
we lost tonight.

The deal is you lose,

and don't tear
his fuckin' arm off.

The old man and I
have enough problems.

We're tryin' to
make as much
money as we can

before we lose
this place.

What do you mean,
lose this place?

You ain't gonna
lose this place.

It's a landmark.

Don't mean shit,
homes.

If money talks
and bullshit walks,
we walkin'.

It ain't gonna
be down easy street,
either.

What's the story, Old Man?

In '56 I leased
this property

when nobody wanted
to be seen on
this side of the hill.

And in '66
I renewed my lease
on my own terms.

350 a month
for 30 years.

In 21 days,
those 30 years
have run out.

Now with the
whole world flyin'
into Burbank,

they're tryin'
to strong-arm us for

$2.5 million for
a five-year lease.

[WHISTLES SHARPLY]

They're gonna put up
another skyscraper.

Who's tryin'
to strong-arm you?

The bank.

What bank?

The Great Trust.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, the suits?

Mmm-hmm.

Well...

There's only one place

to get that kind
of money so fast.

No suit's gonna
loan us $2.5 million.

OLD MAN:
That's for sure.

Man, I ain't talkin'
about no loan.

I don't wanna
hear it, Harley.

Hear what?

You don't wanna know.

Know what?

He's gonna say
we should rob the bank.

We ain't gonna rob
any damn bank.

Ain't bank robbers.

We owe it to the old man.
We grew up in this place.

OLD MAN: You boys
don't owe me anything.

HARLEY: Sure we do.

Hell, if it wasn't for you,
we'd all be face-down
in the gutter

with a cigarette
for company and a...

A needle for good times.

I'm ready to go.

Okay, baby.
In a minute.

Now!

[SIGHS]

Count me out of this one.
I made a promise to Lulu.

Yeah, you made me
a lot of promises, Jack.

We're gonna have
a baby someday.

Can't start a family
from behind bars.

You know... I really
love this place.

It's a home.
Makes me feel good.

And if we gotta
rob a bank to save it...

I'll do that.

But I can't
do it alone.

You guys are gonna
have to get it up, too.

RADIO DISPATCHER:
12 minutes, Pacific
and California.

We'll check
with you then.
Over.

GUARD: Roger, dispatch.

GUARD: We copy.

Whoa, shit!

RADIO DISPATCHER:
Car 3. Car 3.
This is dispatch.

Give me your 10-20
and security code, over.

GUARD: Dispatch,
we're at the shipyard.

What's with
this hard hat?

[HONKS HORN]

You're gonna have
to move your equipment.
I got a delivery to make.

What,
are you fuckin' deaf?

I said you're gonna
have to move your...

I heard what you said.

[PULSING]

Drop your gun.

You're not gonna
like what you're
getting into, pal.

Hey, friend, from 15 feet away
there's a slight chance
you could miss me.

I could be blind as a bat
and still blow your head off,

so you drop it.

No, you drop it,
asshole.

Shit!Think fast.

[GRUNTS]

Shit!

Come on.
Get over here.
Sit down.

Guns are made
to be shot, Harley,
not thrown.

Go do it, Jose.

You're about
the deadest shot
I've ever seen.

Where'd you learn
to do that?

Read a book.
Came with the gun.

Who are you guys?

Well,
he's Harley Davidson

and I'm
the Marlboro Man.

You look like a bunch
of two-bit hoods to me.

Now does that look
like the work of
two-bit hoods?

Yeah. Pros would
have used my keys.

Well, he likes
to blow things up.

Hot stuff. Watch it.

Nice day for work,
huh, Jimmy?

None better
ever, homes.

Nice doing business
with you boys.

Your business
isn't with us.
It's with them.

Well, whatever
they've got to say,
I don't wanna hear it.

Let's rock it!
We got company.Shit, no.

Shit!

What the fuck
is all this about?

Harley, why don't you
throw that shotgun at 'em.

Maybe you'll hit somethin'.

I thought you
was a dead shot.

So did I.

Then why the fuck
ain't they droppin'?

Beats the shit outta me.

[YELLING]

Come on, guys.

Come on, Harley!

Let's go, Jimmy!

[ALL WHOOPING]

MARLBORO:
Yee-haw! [LAUGHS]

JIMMY: All right, you're
a big fuckin' hero, big man!

A big fuckin' hero!

JACK: You guys needed backup.

I had nothing to do
and no one to do it with.

Yeah, backup, hell.

Well, Harley's
thinking here,

damn near had us
on the ropes.

Saved our lives,
big boy.

You guys owe me a bike.
I gotta get a new bike.

Hey, man,
you'll get
a new bike.

Promise you won't
tell Lulu.

I don't want her
getting mad.

She's mean
when she's mad.

Hey look,
I can take care
of the bike,

but I can't
take care
of the bitch.

Why not?
You did once.

You boys might wanna
take a look at this shit.

What is it?

Unmelted, pure
Crystal Dream.

Well, what the fuck is that
and what the fuck
is it doin' here?

It's a drug.
And I don't know
what the fuck

it's doin' here.

I'm a son of a bitch.
We jumped the wrong train.

Fuck! Shit, man!

His little brother
OD'd using this shit.

Don't worry, Jose,

we ain't drug dealers.

This is not a walk
in the park, Harley.

This is way fuckin'
out there on the edge.

These guys
aren't street dealers
dealing grass and pills,

they're killers.

They killed
their own men
tryin' to waste us.

MARLBORO:
That's enough, Jimmy.

I never liked this
plan from the start.

But you needed help
and you took it.

So don't whine
about it now.

What's done is done.
There ain't no turnin' back.

CHANCE: Who are these men?

Judging from their ability
and data we gathered,
they're dilettantes.

Details would suggest
that they were not aware
of the cargo they've stolen.

If they're amateurs,
how'd they destroy
two vehicles

and then manage
to get away
with the goods? Hmm?

They were
extremely lucky.

[CHUCKLES]

I don't have time
for luck, now, do I?

Get back what's mine.

And kill these men,
Alexander, okay?

[LULU SINGING]

♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah ♪

Oh, man, we really
fucked up big.

Marlboro, how the fuck
was I supposed to know

somebody's using a bank
as a front to run drugs?

Harley, I'm tired
and I'm pissed,

and I'd just like
to unwind...

So stop thinkin'.

Ah, fuck, man.

Now I gotta
think of some way
to make things right.

Hi.Hey.

I know you don't know me,
but I don't have a way home

and Jimmy said that
you'd give me a ride.

Sure, I'll give you
a ride, Sally.

The name tag's wrong.

My real name's Honey.

Pure gold... And sweet.

I'm off at 10:00.

You know, my old man
used to tell me,

before he left
this shitty world,

the right woman
can make you

and the wrong one
can break you.

You know,
I woke up
one mornin'...

And she was gone.

No note.
No kiss goodbye.
No nothin'.

And I still have feelings
for her deep inside.

Partner, I only know
of two cures

for that
particular ailment.

And since you don't
drink anymore,

you're down to one.

Let me borrow your bike.

I gotta take Sally home.

Get a cab.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

[SIREN BLARES]

Stand up and
put your hands
behind your head.

Aw, hell, I was just
blowin' off a little steam.

Yeah? Well, you blew
in the wrong place.

Now, kiss the wall
and spread 'em.

Okay, cowboy,
let's blow off some steam.

What's wrong tonight?

I'm getting married.

Goddamn you, Robert,
I'm tired of
waiting around

for you to come by
when you feel the need.

I get lonely.

I like to share my bed
with someone at night.

Hell, isn't that
what we're doin'?

One, maybe two nights
a month, if I'm lucky.

Well, I am
what I am, Virginia.

I've accepted that,
even loved it.

But I don't have
to like it.

I get scared for you.
I worry.

You could spend
the rest of your life

looking for
whatever the hell it is
you're looking for,

but someday you're gonna
have to find yourself.

I just can't wait for
you to do it anymore.

I love you, Robert.

But after tonight,
you're not welcome
here anymore.

Oh, fuck!

That's for Marlboro.

Me and you'll go out
and have somethin' to eat.

You're a bad man, Harley.

What are you two
up to this time?

Do you know anything
about this new drug,
Crystal Dream?

It's 100% addictive
and kills one out of
every seven users.

Don't mess
with it, Harley.

I don't mess with drugs
no more, you know that.

It's a liquid-based,
blue crystalline substance
with a neurotoxin RAH,

retina-activating
hallucinogen.

So, it sort of
numbs the senses

and makes the world
look better?

Yeah, that's the high.

The low is it damages
the central nervous system,

causes insanity,
and then death.

On the street
it's called "The Dream."

WAITRESS: Thank you.

Hey, I'm broke.

You know something,
Harley?

In a weird way
I'm jealous of you two.

But, why's that?

The rest of us work
so damn hard at life

and you guys just live
it one day at a time.

Yeah.

See ya.

Hey, what's with you
and the old boots?

Lay off my boots, Harley.
I'm in no fuckin' mood.

Did you have a rough night?

I woke up
smellin' the coffee.
Give me a light.

Hey, I thought you quit.

Just give me a light.

Whose bike?

Probably hers.

She ain't got no Harley.

Hey man,
what are you doin'?

It ain't hers,
but I'll bet I know
whose it is.

Whose?His.

You gotta cross
and cut the red
and the green wire.

I know how to
hot-wire a bike, Harley.

Don't tell me how to
hot-wire a goddamn bike.

[STARTER TURNS OVER]

You gotta turn on the gas.

[ENGINE ROARS]

If he's gonna take my girl,
I'm gonna take his bike.

You sure this is
the right bank?

Yeah, I'm sure.

How sure?

Hey man,
I'm real sure.

Yeah well,
you were real sure

there was gonna be money
on that armored truck.

And you were real sure
this plan was gonna work.

You better be
right about this

or I'm for real sure
gonna break your head

so you can't
think no more.

Hey man,
why don't you
lighten up

and tell me about that guy
that's workin' Virginia.

Don't care.
Didn't ask.

HARLEY: You mean
you're gonna let her go,
just like that?

MARLBORO: From where
I stand, she let me go.

Well you know,
If she wants you

to chase her,
that's the game.

My old man
used to tell me,

before he left
this shitty world,

never chase
buses or women.

You always
get left behind.

I assume you're here
to do business?

I'd like to do some
business with you
some other time.

But right now
we got to talk
to the man upstairs.

Stay on my tail.

No problem.

Well, looks like we really
rattled the cage, Marlboro.

You know this
ain't gonna fly.

Hey, I'll bet you
it flies.

How much?

I'll bet you a dollar.

But, if you win
you're gonna have to
give me some credit

'cause that cab fare
last night broke me.

If I win, we're dead.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Well, strap on
your seat belt
and get ready to fly.

American Airlines.

You've got something of mine
and I want it back.

Oh, really?
What is that?

You know something,
you've got balls.
Big ones.

But they're not
as big as you might think.

Well, mister,

my balls are big enough
to get your attention.

[WHISTLES SHARPLY]

What do you want?

Oh, how's about
$2.5 million?

Now, wait a minute.
Check that.

I got a little
side bet goin'.

Make that $2.5 million,
plus a buck.

When?

Where?

HARLEY: Airplane graveyard.

Late, tonight.

Well, I'll tell you what,
you better call your boys off

or you ain't
gonna get nothin'.

Yeah, talk to you
on the rebound...

Asshole.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Yes, sir?

Let 'em go, Alexander.

Let 'em go.

[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]

Okay, let's do it.

You boys are good

for dilettantes.

They're not my boys,
they're my friends.

Yeah. Let's see
the crystals.

Let's see the cash.

Hey. Open it real slow.

Why the extra dollar?

We had a bet.

Okay.

Well, it wasn't
a walk in the park,
but the job's done.

[CHUCKLES]

You did it.
You did it, man.

Check this out,
Old Man.

Besides Jimmy and Lulu
and the rest of you,

this place is what
keeps me comin' back
day after day.

Thank you for
givin' that
back to me.

I've got
things to do.

OLD MAN: Tomorrow,
we open for good.

All right.
All right, pops.

Woo!

Oh, man, I am
thankful for this.

But you boys
are whacked out,
you know that?

I'm talkin'
about you, Harley.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, man, that's what
friendship's all about.

JACK: All right,
It's done
and it's done good.

So let's take
the edge off.

Come here, Marlboro,
get in this.

To Lulu,
who'd kill me

if she knew
what I helped do.

But because I did it,
she still has a job.

To Lulu.

What's wrong, man?
We done good tonight.

Shit, Harley,
we're way out
of our league, man.

It was too easy.

I think we oughta get
the fuck out of Dodge,

let things cool off
for a while.

MARLBORO: Oh!
Look at this shit.

HARLEY: How the fuck
did they find us?

MARLBORO: I don't know.

And I damn sure
don't wanna find out.

[GUN COCKING]

Not this again.

I can't deal with
this again, Harley.

The Old Man's
got it under control.

HARLEY: Yeah, tell them
we were in but we left.

That's right, boy,
take your pussy friends

and get the hell
out of here.

Oops!
I don't think
he liked that.

I don't give
a flying fuck
what he likes.

[COCKING GUN]

[EXCLAIMS]

[SCREAMS]

We gotta get
the hell outta here.

No kidding!

I'm gonna fuckin'
die today, Harley,

and I blame you.

No, we're gonna live, man

and we're gonna go through
that window to do it.

Jack, cover me.

Jack, come on!

JACK: I'm right behind you.

Oh!

MARLBORO: Jack?

Jack?

Go to work.All right.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

[WOMAN SCREAMING]

[SHUSHING]

Lady? Lady,
hey, hey, hey.

Take it easy.We don't wanna
hurt you.

Take her.

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

"Take her," he says!

MARLBORO: Come on, lady.

Jesus, lady.

Hey, hey, hey! This is
a restricted area, man.

[SHUSHING]

MAN: You're gonna
have to scoot,
and I mean fast.

Hey, chump, in case
you don't hear so good,

I said get
the fuck outta here.

[MUFFLED SCREAM]

[JET ENGINES ROAR]

[ROULETTE WHEELS SPIN]

I hate this
fuckin' town.

Hey, man,
you don't know
anything about this city.

I grew up here,
you dumb bastard.

I didn't know that.Yeah, well, what you
don't know is a lot.

You mean to tell me
that real cowboys,

I mean, shit-kickin'
rodeo cowboys,

come from Vegas?

Some of the best.

Maybe even
one of the best.

Hey, man, I know
you don't wanna be here.

We're just gonna
stay long enough

to clean up
and get some sleep.

Yeah, okay.

Did I ever tell you
the time I lost my cherry

to a fat girl in
a room just like this?

It was in Mesquite, Texas.

Her name was Annie.

Wasn't too good,
puttin' us up on
this top floor like this.

HARLEY: There was
a convention in town.
It was all we could get.

Makes for
a tough getaway.

Well partner,
they're not gonna
find us here.

They can't.

I wouldn't bet on that.

Why don't you
stop whining,
you know?

You're starting
to sound like Jimmy.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Jimmy's dead,
you heartless
piece of shit.

Four of our friends
got killed tonight.

They're gone.

Fucking
tagged-on-the-toe dead.

Does that
matter to you?

Do you fuckin' care?

Hey, Marlboro,
I didn't force
anyone to do it.

They took the chance
and they knew the risk.

All right, hey, look,
it's my fault.

And I gotta live with it.

But right now me and you
gotta pull it together

if we're gonna survive.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Hello.

MARLBORO: Hello.

Hey.

Where are you?
Are you all right?

Las Vegas.

I called because I'm
drunk and I'm tired.

I just wanted
to hear your voice.

Tell me exactly
where you are and what
you've done,

No. Can't do that.

I've already dug
too many graves.

None of them my own.

Oh, Robert.
You keep running,

and sooner or later
you're gonna end up
just like your dad

drunk, dead, and alone.

And all you can do
is hold on and wait.

Robert?

Hello?

Are you there?

Harley, let's go.
We got company.

Please, God, let us
get out of this one.

I promise I'll change.

That's bullshit,
Harley.I'll fuckin' try.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Shit!

HENCHMAN: Up!
They're going up!

Holy shit!

Come on!

We're at death's door,
Harley,

and the devil's
a-knockin'.

You better think up
somethin' fast

or start your ass
prayin' for real.

Put your gun away.
We're gonna jump.

Are you out of
your fuckin' mind?

You got a better idea?

[COCKING WEAPONS]

Whatever the hell
they're wearing

is made outta die-hard
blue steel, Harley.

It's the
only way, man.

I don't care.

Well, I'm gonna do it.

Do it!

You're gonna get
shot up here.

Well, you're gonna
get smashed down there.

All right. Fuck you!

You stay up here
and you get shot
and die!

I owe you that.

[GUNS FIRING]

I hate you for this, Harley.

I fuckin' hate you for this.

[WEAPONS COCKING]

[SCREAMING]
I hate you, Harley.

Oh, shit!

Was that fuckin'
intense or what?

[POLICE SIREN WAILING]

Oh, shit!

We gotta go back,
Harley.

What the fuck
you talkin' about?

We survived. It's over.

It ain't over.

Hey, man,
it's definitely over.

See this?

It's out of commission.

That means that
them fuckers

can't keep comin'
out of nowhere anymore.

We still got
a bunch of money

we didn't get
for ourselves,

and a bar full
of dead friends in LA.

It ain't over.

This ain't right.

And we owe it to
our friends
to make it right.

Hey, man, I ain't makin'
any plans for you and me

for a long time.

We came out alive,
we came out ahead,

and I ain't doin' it.

God damn it, Harley.
We ain't ahead.

And if bein' alive
means living on the run,

then I don't want it.

Marlboro, you do
what you think is right.

Right?

I'm gonna stay alive.

Better to be
dead and cool

than alive and uncool.

[KNOCKING]

[SIGHING]
What do you want?

Virginia.

She's asleep.

Wake her up.

MAN: Why the fuck is he here?

VIRGINIA: He happens to be
someone that I care about.

Just calm down.

MAN: [SHOUTING]
I am calm.

Now, get him out of here
before I shoot him.

You've got until
we reach the sidewalk

to say what
you've got to say.

Mr. Trigger-happy
a cop too?

He just made Lieutenant.

He the guy?

What do you want, Robert?

You want my help?
My sympathy?

My hand in marriage?
What?

I don't...

I don't know
what I want.

But I know what
I don't want.

I don't want
whatever there was
between us

to end

without telling you...

You've been
the better part
of my life,

the best part
of my life.

Goodbye, Virginia.

Robert?

[MOTORCYCLE APPROACHING]

Sorry I'm late.

I had a layover in Denver.

HARLEY: You and me friends?

MARLBORO:
Sure, we're friends.

Then how come,
with all this shit

that me and you
have been through,

I've asked you
the same question
1,000 times

and you ain't never
answered me?

What question?

What's with you
and those fuckin' boots?

My old man
gave me these boots,

first time I rode
in a professional rodeo.

It was the first
and last thing
he ever gave me.

Hey, Marlboro,
you could've
told me that.

I kind of figured
it was between him and me.

I got throwed and busted
my arm in four places.

Hey, I think
you should do it again.

Someday. Maybe.

Where the hell
did you get
that hog leg?

Denver.

This is a Ruger
Super Blackhawk.

.454 conversion.

Goddamn, Harley, that's
too much gun for you.

It's what I learned with.

[LAUGHS] Nobody learned
with a converted .454.

I did.

That explains it.

I've been through
a lot of shit in my life.

But up until
about three weeks ago,

the only goddamn thing
I ever shot at was tin cans.

You know, I never wanted
to shoot at nobody in anger,

and I sure as shit
ain't never wanted
to kill nobody.

Me neither.

[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]

[INDICATOR BEEPING]

ALEXANDER: Take up
a heading of zero-one-zero.

They're seven clicks
northeast of here.

Sounds like the same
heading my co-pilot
shouted out

the day we choppered
into Khe Sanh.

Last thing the ugly
bastard ever said.

Shut the fuck up
and fly, Tom.

Okay. Okay.

[PULSING FASTER]

[INDICATOR PULSING RAPIDLY]

[INDICATOR PULSING RAPIDLY]

Well, God,
if you do exist

and you're up
there watchin'

from wherever it is
you're watchin' from,

just look away
for a moment.

MARLBORO: Remember,
these bastards
are bulletproof,

so aim for their heads.

Dead center.

You might wanna
hold onto that cannon
with both hands.

Don't yank.

Don't pull.

Squeeze.

You ready?

Let's rock 'n' roll
these motherfuckers.[COCKS GUN]

Let's make things right.

[PANTING]

You know that gun
costs about two bucks
every time you fire it?

That's two bucks
a bullet.

How many did I hit?

You spent 12 bucks
and didn't hit
a goddamn thing.

I nailed one and it
cost four and a quarter.

Where'd they go?

Right there,
and they're
spendin' a fortune.

We really pissed
them off this time.

No shit.
Come on, let's go.

Harley?

You shootin'?

Harley?What?

[METAL CLANGING]

That's two for me.

You better get off
your ass, Harley.

Give me
a fuckin' break.

God knows I'm tryin'.

You better ask God
for some help.

We ain't done yet.

[EXCLAIMS]

Fuck! Shit! Piss!

Horseshit in
a bear's ass!

Two bucks.

That's four.

Six.

[GROANING]

Twelve.

[EXCLAIMS]

[PANTING]

You're gonna
die today.

If you wanna
make it fast,

tell me where
the money is.

If you wanna
make it slow,

don't.

It's your choice.

It's a good day
for dyin'.

I'll do it slow.

HARLEY: Hey, slick.

Cut him loose.

Oh, shit.
I'm a dead man.

Where is the money?

[BOTH COCKING GUNS]

Where is the money?

Squeeze it, Harley.

Just squeeze it.

[YELLS]

Shit.

Shit!

That hurt, Harley.
That hurt bad.

Looks like your luck
just ran out.

Now, where is the money?

Shoot him,
goddamn it!

Keep shooting.

You'll make
my job easier.

Shoot the bastard!

Don't think,
just shoot him!

Shoot him!

[EXCLAIMS]

MARLBORO: That one's for you.
How'd it feel?

Best twelve bucks
I ever spent.

[CHUCKLES]

[GROANS]

Son of a bitch!

How are you feelin'?

Like I've been rode hard
and put up wet.

Shake it off.
We got one more.

Let's go.

I can't believe
you fuckin'
shot me, Harley.

Dickhead,
you fuckin'
shot me.

I can't believe you
shot me, you shit bird.

TOM: I find it real hard
to believe you greased
those cue balls,

but it's a good thing
somebody did.

Yeah? Why's that?

They were pussies.

Their clothes were made
outta that lightweight
Japanese Kevlar.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

All right, pal,

this is your
last paycheck.

You work for us now.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

Here's what
we'll do.

As soon as I ask him
to change the lease

and he says no,

you shoot his ass dead.

Why me?

I'm all out
of bullets.

[TALKING ON PHONE]
Yes, Howard, it's good
to hear from you too.

Now, what do you want
from me? Spit it out.

CHANCE: Uh-huh.

Listen, Howard,
I'm not interested
in the third world.

Okay? Now, there's too much
that can go the wrong way

and not much that
can go our way.

We've had this discussion.
I don't ever want
to have it again, okay?

Listen, Howard,
say hello to your wife.
You're married, aren't you?

Lookin' for
Chance Wilder.

You him?

That's right.

Deal away, Harley.

Well, here.

This is yours.
We took it.
Wasn't right of us.

So now you can change
the lease back

to the Rock 'n' Roll
bar and grille.

No handouts.
No breaks.

Just a fair deal,
that's all
we're asking.

You guys must be charmed

to have made it this far.

MARLBORO: Four of
our friends are dead.

No, we're not charmed.

We're just pissed off.

That's too bad.

That's too bad.

Sorry I pissed you off.

Listen, the lease stands,
okay?

So that's the end
of that story.

So if you came here
to kill me, do it now.

If not, get the fuck
outta here.

I don't have the time
to play with guys
like you, okay?

I'm very busy.

Hey, this ain't any game.

All business is a game
one way or another.

Sellin' drugs
ain't no game.

It's not your average game,
that's true.

I make $500,000 a year
to sit in this office

and run this bank, okay?

I make another
$50 million a year

to sit in the same office
and run those drugs.

Now, that's a big game
and it's big time.

Well, the game's over.

Go ahead
and do it, Marlboro.

What are you
waitin' for?

Just kill him
and let's get
the fuck outta here.

[WHISPERING]
I can't do it.

It's not right.

Hey, this scumbag
killed four
of our friends

just for laughs.

Still doesn't
make it right.

What are you
talkin' about?

My old man
used to tell me,

before he left
this shitty world,

never shoot
an unarmed man.

Marlboro,
fuck your old man.
Your old man's dead.

Leave my old man
out of this, all right?

All right.

Now he's armed.

That gun's empty,
Harley.

So what?

This piece of shit
gives drugs to kids.

[COCKING WEAPONS]

HENCHMAN: Drop it!

You guys,

did you really think
you were just gonna
walk in here

and shoot me?

You, you thought that,
didn't you?

That was the plan.

Yeah, that was
the plan.

[CHUCKLES]

You guys, you guys
are a piece of work.

You got an edge.
And I like that.
I do.

I like that.
It almost makes me sorry
that I have to kill you.

But I do.
I do right now.

What'd you do?
You pay him?

No, man,
that was your money.

You paid him.
He did that for free.

CHANCE: You guys...

Like your buddy said,
fuck your old man.

He's dead, right?
Fuck him.

Let's see what
you're made of, huh?

Think fast!

[GASPING]

[GUNSHOT]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[EXCLAIMS]

Harley!

[YELLS]

Good timing.

I told you
to shoot the fuck.

[YELLS]

Hey, guns are
made to be shot,
not thrown.

I was just tryin'
to even the odds.

Where're you goin'
this time?

Who says I'm goin'?

You always do, Harley.

It's that time.

You wanna come with me?

I can't.

I shouldn't have asked.

You never say yes.

Get the hell outta here.

Vaya con Dios, amigo.

ANNOUNCER: [ON PA]
