Ruthless People (1986) - full transcript
Sam Stone (Danny DeVito) is a clothing manufacturer, who married his wife Barbara (Bette Midler), for the money that she was supposed to inherit from her dying father, but her father didn't die for another fifteen years. He is now planning to kill her and he tells his girlfriend Carol Dodsworth (Anita Morris) what he is going to do. He then on his way home to do just that but when he gets there, she's not there. He then receives a call from someone claiming to have kidnapped Barbara and threatening to kill her if he informs the police, which he does hoping that they do. What Stone doesn't know is that the kidnappers, Ken (Judge Reinhold) and Sandy (Helen Slater) Kessler are a couple whose idea for a garment he stole and made fortune off, are not that lethal, as a matter of fact Barbara's more lethal. And what Stone doesn't know is that Carol, has another boyfriend named Earl Mott (Bill Pullman), and they plan to blackmail Sam, by videotaping him disposing of Barbara's body. When Earl goes there to do that, the person who goes there was not Sam but a man with a hooker (Jeannine Bisignano), and he instructs the hooker to scream her head off, Earl mistakenly believes that Barbara's not dead and that Sam was killing her there, and was so freaked out that he didn't bother to see if it was Sam. Carol tries to put her plan in operation by sending Sam a copy of the tape, Sam thinks that it's for something kinky that Carol wants and when Sam tells her that he is going to do what was done on the tape to her, she assumes that he is going to kill her. So she sends another copy of the tape to the Chief of Police (William G. Schilling), and tells him that she wants him to arrest Sam for murdering Barbara, and the Chief is happy to oblige cause he is the man who is on the tape. The Chief manages to find the instruments that Sam was going to use to kill Barbara and arrests him. Sam now has to get Barbara, alive, so that he can prove that he didn't kill her. And Barbara starts to bond with Sandy.

CAROL, DID I TELL YOU
WHY I MARRIED HER?
YES, SAM,
MANY, MANY--
HER FATHER WAS
VERY, VERY RICH
AND VERY, VERY SICK.
THE DOCTORS ASSURED ME
HE'D BE DEAD ANY MINUTE.
THERE WASN'T
A SECOND TO LOSE.
I RUSHED OUT AND MARRIED
THE BOSS' DAUGHTER.
HE WAS SO SICK,
IT WAS LIKE
THE ANGEL OF DEATH
WAS SITTING IN THE ROOM
WATCHING THE CLOCK.
THEY PULLED
THE PLUG ON HIM.
HE WHEEZED AND SHOOK
FOR ABOUT AN HOUR,
AND THEN...
HE STABILIZED!
THE SON OF A BITCH
JUST GOT
OLDER AND SICKER
AND OLDER AND SICKER
AND OLDER AND SICKER!
MORE COFFEE, SIR?
NO!
I COULDN'T WAIT.
I WENT OUT AND MADE
MY OWN FORTUNE.
THE OLD FART HUNG ON
FOR ANOTHER 15 YEARS!
FINALLY DIED
OF NATURAL CAUSES.
I WANT THE REST
OF THAT MONEY.
HIS MONEY, HER MONEY--
IT'S MY MONEY.
I HAD TO LIVE
WITH THAT SQUEALING,
CORPULENT LITTLE TOAD
ALL THESE YEARS!
I HATE THAT WOMAN!
I HATE THE WAY
SHE LICKS STAMPS.
I HATE HER FURNITURE.
AND I HATE THAT LITTLE
SOUND SHE MAKES
WHEN SHE SLEEPS.
[SNORE]
BAA!
[SNORE]
BAA!
AH!
AND THAT FILTHY, LITTLE
SHITBAG DOG OF HERS--MUFFY!
AREN'T YOU SCARED?
SCARED?
HELL, NO!
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
MY ONLY REGRET, CAROL,
IS THAT THE PLAN
ISN'T MORE VIOLENT.
DON'T YOU CONSIDER
THROWING A BODY
OFF A CLIFF
IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
VIOLENT?
NAH! SHE'LL BE
UNCONSCIOUS,
KNOCKED OUT
FROM THE CHLOROFORM.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
HANDS-ON INVOLVEMENT.
HANDS-ON?
OH?
OH HO HO!
I'M GOING NOW.
I CAN'T WAIT!
GRRR...
GOOD LUCK.

A MILLION DOLLARS,
AND YOU FEEL GUILTY?
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE WE BEEN OVER THIS?
OH, HONEY,
NOT AGAIN.
LET ME REMIND YOU
OF SOMETHING.
YOU ARE THE SPANDEX
MINISKIRT KING,
NOT HIM.
HE IS THE SPANDEX
MINISKIRT THIEF.
HE'S THE ONE
WHO SHOULD FEEL GUILTY.
LOOK AT THIS.
DO YOU REMEMBER THIS?
YOU CRIED FOR A WEEK
WHEN YOU SAW THIS.
LOOK AT THE SMILE
ON THAT ASSHOLE.
I KNOW HE STOLE IT,
BUT S DIDN'T
DO ANYTHING.
SHE'S HIS PARTNER!
DAMN IT, SANDY,
DO YOU ENJOY
GETTING STEPPED ON?
DO YOU?
'CAUSE I DON'T.
AND I DON'T FEEL GUILTY.
I TAKE IT BACK.
I DO FEEL GUILTY.
I FEEL VERY GUILTY.
I TRUSTED A SLEAZEBALL
LIKE SAM STONE
WITH OUR LIFE SAVINGS
ON A HANDSHAKE DEAL
AND SAT THERE
AND WATCHED HIM
TAKE IT AWAY.
THAT'S OVER.
WE KNOW BETTER NOW.
FROM NOW ON,
WE TRUST NO ONE.
TO HELL
WITH EVERYBODY ELSE.
WE'VE GOT TO BE RUTHLESS.
THINK RUTHLESS.
WHAT IF I CAN'T?
YOU'VE GOT TO.
IT MAKES YOU STRONG.

FOR SAM.
THE VIDEO EQUIPMENT,
REMEMBER?
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT.
OH, YEAH.
I KNEW THAT.
YOU REMEMBER WHERE
I TOLD YOU TO GO?
THE OLD DESERTED BRIDGE
NEAR THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN.
THAT'S RIGHT.
HE'LL HAVE A RENTED CAR.
HE'S AFRAID
OF GETTING BLOOD
ON HIS SPORTS CAR.
GET AS CLOSE
AS YOU CAN.
GET A GOOD SHOT
OF HIS FACE.
WITHOUT IT,
WE CAN'T BLACKMAIL HIM.
YOU GET THAT VIDEOTAPE
OF SAM FINISHING OFF
HIS WIFE,
AND HE WILL GIVE US
ANYTHING WE WANT
FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.
YEAH. THEN WE'RE
OFF TO HAITI.
NOT HAITI--TAHITI.
I KNEW THAT.
THE PASSPORTS
CAME TODAY.
COOL.
FRANK.
GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
WHAT HAVE WE GOT?
WE FOUND
A CHLOROFORM-SOAKED
HANDKERCHIEF
STUFFED DOWN
IN THE GARBAGE,
AND A TIRE PRINT
ON THE LAWN.
WE FOUND BLOOD
IN THE KITCHEN.
WHERE'S MR. STONE?
UPSTAIRS.
HE SEEMS
PRETTY UPSET.
* WHOA!

LIEUTENANT BENDER

I LIKE TO HEAR
A WOMAN MAKE NOISE.
I'LL SCREAM
MY HEAD OFF, HONEY.
IT'S YOUR MONEY.
MY WIFE JUST LAYS THERE

[VOMITING]
I HAVE NO ENEMIES
THAT I KNOW OF.
I'M A BUSINESSMAN.
I MANUFACTURE
WOMEN'S SPORTSWEAR.
I THINK I'VE
HEARD OF YOU.
DON'T THEY CALL YOU
THE SPANDEX KING?
THE SPANDEX
MINISKIRT KING.
PROBABLY READ
ONE OF THE ARTICLES.
IT WAS HIS IDEA--
SPANDEX MINISKIRTS.
WAS THERE
ANYBODY HERE TODAY
WHEN YOU CAME HOME--
SERVANTS, MAIDS?
IT'S THE MAID'S
DAY OFF.
DID YOU NOTICE ANYTHING
OUT OF THE ORDINARY?
NOT THAT I CAN REMEMBER.
WHEN DID YOU
COME HOME?
THAT'S THE DOG.
SHE ISN'T PROPERLY
HOUSE TRAINED.
NO, IT'S SWEET.
THE DOG'S
A LITTLE DIABETIC.
I THINK IT'S WINE OR--
OH, OH!
I KNOW
WHAT THAT MUST BE.
I CLOSED A VERY IMPORTANT
BUSINESS DEAL THIS MORNING,
AND WHEN I CAME HOME,
I OPENED A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE.
AS I WAS WALKING
THROUGH THE HOUSE CELEBRATING,
I CALLED TO BARBARA TO COME
AND SHARE THE MOMENT WITH ME.
SHE NEVER CAME.
THOSE MONSTERS!
EARL!
IT WAS HORRIBLE.
SHE WASN'T DRUGGED
OR ANYTHING.
WHAT HAPPENED?
SHE SCREAMED
AND SCREAMED,
AND GOD,
IT TOOK FOREVER!
IT MUST HAVE LASTED
TWO MINUTES.
HE KEPT STOPPING
AND STARTING.
HE'D LET HER
CATCH HER BREATH
AND START AGAIN.
SHE'D SCREAM
LOUDER AND LOUDER.
WHEN SHE FINALLY DIED,
HE LOOKED SO SATISFIED,
I THOUGHT
HE WAS GOING TO
LIGHT A CIGARETTE.
SON OF A BITCH
ENJOYED IT.
SAM'S JUST BEEN ON TV
CLAIMING SHE WAS KIDNAPPED.
SHE WASN'T KIDNAPPED.
HE KILLED HER.
HONEY, I KNOW.
IT'S AN ALIBI.
HE SAID THAT
TO THROW THE POLICE
OFF HIS TRAIL.
YOU'RE GOING TO
WATCH THAT?
I THINK I SHOULD.
BABY, YOU DON'T WANT TO.
IT'LL MAKE YOU SICK.
I THINK
I CAN TAKE IT.
OH, NO.
AAH! OHH!
OH! OH!
OOH! I CAN'T
WATCH THIS.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
HE ACTUALLY
WENT THROUGH WITH IT.
[GASPS]
STAY HERE.
DON'T COME OUT.
SAM'S HERE.
TA-DA!
* ZIP-A-DEE DOO-DAH

I'VE BEEN
WATCHING YOU ON TV.
GOOD PERFORMANCE, SAM.
WHAT A STORY!
"BARBARA STONE KIDNAPPED."
I COULDN'T HAVE MADE UP
ANYTHING BETTER.
IT'S BRILLIANT!
AND THE PRESS
LOVES IT.
WELL, THAT'S
VERY CLEVER, SAM.
IT'S INSPIRED.
IMAGINE--SOMEONE
DEMANDING MONEY FROM ME
TO KEEP BARBARA ALIVE.
UNBELIEVABLE!
IDIOTS!
COME ON.
LET'S HAVE A DRINK.
I CAN'T STAY LONG.
I'VE GOT TO GET BACK
AND LOOK SAD.
THE POLICE BELIEVED YOU?
THEY ATE IT UP.
I FED 'EM A BANQUET
OF BULLSHIT.
I THREW THEM OFF
BY MILES.
ALL I HAVE TO DO
IS JUST DO NOTHING.
I HAVE TO SHOW UP

RANSOM DROP.

RANSOM DROP?
NATURALLY.

HOW MUCH DID YOU

$500.
$800.
$500.
OK. I THINK
I HAVE AN IDEA.
LET'S START
WITH SPEAKERS.
OVER HERE, WE HAVE
A GREAT SPEAKER--
THE CENTURY EV-1.
CONSUMER STEREO RATED
THIS A BEST BUY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THIS ONE?
THE DOMINATOR X-1?
WELL, THE DOMINATOR'S
A GOOD MARKETING IDEA,
BUT IT'S REALLY NOT
A GOOD SPEAKER.
WE MARK IT UP 500%
AND SELL IT AT 50% OFF.
THE CUSTOMER THINKS
HE'S GETTING A DEAL,
AND WE MAKE A BUNDLE.
IT'S SO BIG
AND IMPRESSIVE.
SIZE MEANS
VERY LITTLE.
BIGGER IS NOT
NECESSARILY BETTER.
I SOUND LIKE
DR. RUTH. HA HA HA!
YOU MEAN
THE DOMINATOR'S
LIKE A...
THE DOMINATORS ARE

KEEP GOING. OK, LEFT.
HOLD IT TO THE LEFT.
REACH AS FAR

REACH THE RIGHT ARM UP.
VERY SLOWLY TWIST

HELLO.
CAROL,
I GOT YOUR TAPE.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
THE TAPE.
THE VIDEOTAPE.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
IT WAS ME?
WHO ELSE WOULD SEND ME
SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
OHH!
IT'S SAM.
HE'S ONTO US.
HOW THE HELL
DID YOU GET
THIS, CAROL?
A FRIEND OF MINE
TOOK IT.
IT'S TERRIFIC.
I KNOW WHY YOU SENT ME
THIS TAPE, HONEY.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M GOING TO DO?
I'M GOING TO DO
THE SAME THING WITH YOU,
AND YOU, TOO, CAN
SCREAM YOUR BRAINS OUT
BECAUSE NO ONE'S
GOING TO HEAR.
YOU ARE GOING TO BE
BEGGING ME FOR MERCY.
WHIMPERING. HA HA HA!
HERE SHE GOES AGAIN.
LISTEN TO THIS.
THIS IS
MY FAVORITE PART.
AAH! AAH! AAAAH!
AAH!
HE'S GOING TO
KILL ME.
HE'S GOING TO
TORTURE ME
AND KILL ME.
I CAN'T STAY HERE.
I'M GOING TO
HAVE TO STAY...
AT YOUR PLACE.

I CAN'T SIT HERE

WE'VE GOT TO GET SAM

I WANT YOU TO MAKE
ANOTHER COPY
OF THAT TAPE,
AND THIS ONE'S
FOR THE POLICE.

I GUESS IT'S JUST
A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE YOU'RE CAUGHT,
RIGHT, HONEYBUNS?
BARBARA, I WANT TO ASK YOU
A PERSONAL QUESTION.
YOU AND MR. STONE...
DID YOU GET ALONG?
[FOOTSTEPS]
SO, WHAT DID
SHE SAY?
SHE JUST INSULTED ME.
I DON'T THINK
HE LOVES HER.
FACE IT, SHE'S
NOT MOTHER TERESA.
GANDHI WOULD HAVE
STRANGLED HER.
WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO DO?
I'M TIRED OF BEING
SCARED ALL THE TIME.
I CAN'T TAKE THIS
ANYMORE.
I KNOW HE'S BLUFFING.
I JUST KNOW IT.
I'VE GOT TO BE
REALLY TOUGH WITH HIM.
NEVER LET
THE SELLER KNOW
YOU'RE HOT TO TROT.
TELL HIM YOU HAVEN'T
GOT THE MONEY.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
DEBBIE?
YEAH, DEBBIE'S HERE.
WHO'S THIS?
WELL, RALPH,
DEBBIE CAN'T TALK
RIGHT NOW.
MY DICK'S IN HER MOUTH.
HOW ABOUT I HAVE HER
CALL YOU BACK
WHEN I'M DONE?
I LOVE WRONG NUMBERS.
ANYWAY, TELL HIM YOU
DON'T HAVE THE MONEY.
THAT IT'S ALL TIED UP
IN INVESTMENTS.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HANG ON.
A BAD SALESMAN
AUTOMATICALLY
DROPS HIS PRICE.
BAD SALESMEN
MAKE ME SICK.
HELLO?
MR. STONE...
DO YOU LOVE YOUR WIFE?
HANG ON.
WOULD YOU
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE?
SURE, MR. STONE.
GO AHEAD.
MR. STONE, YOU LOVE
YOUR WIFE, DON'T YOU?
SURE, I LOVE HER.
MR. STONE, WE DEMAND
A SATISFACTORY
EXPLANATION
WHY YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN
WITH THE MONEY.
YOU'RE ASKING
A LOT OF CASH.
I HAVEN'T GOT
THAT KIND OF MONEY.
IT'S ALL TIED UP
IN INVESTMENTS.
I'M SORRY.
SORRY? WHAT DO
YOU MEAN, "SORRY"?
NO CAN DO.
WHAT?!
NO DEAL.

YES, TOMORROW!
BRING 50,000
TOMORROW!
AND IF I DON'T?
YOU'LL SEE YOUR WIFE
IN THE MORGUE, PAL.
MR. STONE, WE THINK
WE'VE FOUND YOUR WIFE.
WE'LL NEED YOU
TO COME IDENTIFY
THE BODY.
UH-HUH.
THAT'S NOT HER.
THERE MUST
BE SOME MISTAKE.
WE WANT THE WOMAN
WHO WAS BROUGHT IN
THIS MORNING.
JANE DOE 56?
SHE'S IN THE NEXT ROOM.
IT LOOKS LIKE HER...
A LOT LIKE HER,
BUT IT'S NOT HER.
MY BARBARA,

[CLICK]
[CLICK]
YES?
SIR,
THERE'S SOMEONE
ON THE PHONE.
THEY SAY
THEY SENT YOU
THAT TAPE.
PUT THEM THROUGH,
PLEASE.
HELLO?
HELLO. IS THIS
CHIEF BENTON?
UH...YES.
I'M THE ONE
WHO SENT YOU THE TAPE.
HAVE YOU HAD
A LOOK AT IT YET?
YES.
I JUST SAW IT.
SO WHAT DO YOU
THINK?
WELL, OBVIOUSLY
IT'S VERY UPSETTING.
THIS WHOLE THING'S
MAKING ME ILL.
OH, I AGREE.
THAT POOR WOMAN.
SHE HAD TO GO THROUGH
A LIVING HELL.
I'D RATHER DIE
A QUICK DEATH.
ALL RIGHT!
ALL RIGHT!
WHAT DO YOU
WANT FROM ME?
WELL,
ARRESTING SAM STONE
WOULD BE A GOOD START.
YOU WANT ME
TO ARREST SAM STONE?
ANY SPECIAL REASON
WHY I SHOULD
ARREST HIM?
FOR MURDERING
HIS WIFE!
MURDER? WELL,
UH...ALL RIGHT. OK.
BUT YOU KNOW
IT'S NOT GOING TO
BE EASY.
I'LL NEED EVIDENCE.
THAT TAPE ISN'T ENOUGH
TO CONVINCE YOU?
GEEZ.
THINK OF THE PUBLICITY
YOU'LL GET.
ALL RIGHT!
ALL RIGHT!
I'M CONVINCED.
I'LL HAVE SAM STONE
ARRESTED.
THANK YOU.
SAM STONE?
CHIEF BENTON.
THE INVESTIGATION'S
TAKING A NEW DIRECTION.
WE'VE REASON TO BELIEVE
STONE MAY HAVE MURDERED
HIS WIFE.
MR. STONE?
OH, NO.
COMB THIS PLACE
UNTIL YOU FIND
SOMETHING.
YES, SIR.
[ARF ARF]
MUFFY!
THERE YOU ARE.
AWW.
WHERE HAVE YOU
BEEN, HUH?
LITTLE GIRL.
OH, YEAH.
THE BIG DOG
WON'T HURT YOU, HUH?
JUST A BIG--
WHAT IS IT?
CHIEF BENTON,
I FOUND THIS--
CHLOROFORM.
WILLIAMS FOUND
SNAPSHOTS OF STONE
WITH ANOTHER WOMAN.
REALLY?
JACKPOT.
KEN KESSLER?
WE'RE
POLICE OFFICERS.
I'M LIEUTENANT
BENDER.
THIS IS
LIEUTENANT WALTERS.
MAY WE HAVE
A WORD WITH YOU?
OH, SURE.
COME UPSTAIRS.
WE CAN TALK
IN THE SALESMEN'S OFFICE.
HAVE A SEAT.
MR. KESSLER,
OVER A WEEK AGO
A LADY NAMED
BARBARA STONE
WAS KIDNAPPED.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR
WITH THIS?
YEAH.
I READ ABOUT IT.
WE BELIEVE
THE VEHICLE
THE KIDNAPPERS USED
LEFT A TIRE PRINT
IN HER DRIVEWAY.
WE TOOK A MOLD
AND ANALYZED IT.
THESE ARE THE PRINTS
OF THE KIDNAPPERS' CAR.
THESE ARE THE PRINTS
OF YOUR CAR.
[BEEPING]
IS THERE A PHONE
I CAN USE?
UH...SURE.
IT'S RIGHT OVER THERE,
UH...ON THE DESK.
HUH.
AMAZING SIMILARITY.
WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME?
I'VE GOT TO GO TO
THE BATHROOM.
I'VE GOT A TOUCH
OF THE STOMACH FLU.
SURE.
GO RIGHT AHEAD.
CHLOROFORM?
WHAT ABOUT
FINGERPRINTS?
BINGO.
WE HAVE A WINNER.
YOU WON'T
BELIEVE THIS.
THEY FOUND EVIDENCE
IMPLICATING STONE.
STONE?
YOU'RE KIDDING.
CHLOROFORM
AND FINGERPRINTS.
I'LL BE DAMNED.
LET'S GET OUT
OF HERE.
WHERE'S KESSLER?
IN THE JOHN.
UHH.
[CRASH]
OOHH.
STOMACH FLU.
MR. KESSLER?
I'LL BE
RIGHT OUT!
DON'T BOTHER, SIR!
THANK YOU
FOR YOUR HELP.
WE'LL JUST
SHOW OURSELVES OUT.
OOHH!
ARRGH.
UNH.
HELLO.
MR. STONE, WE CAME
CLOSE TO KILLING
YOUR WIFE,
BUT SHE BEGGED US
REPEATEDLY
FOR JUST
ONE MORE CHANCE.
IN THE SPIRIT
OF COMPASSION
AND MERCY,
WE DECIDED
NOT TO KILL HER.
COMPASSION AND MERCY?
WHAT THE HELL'S
GOING ON?
I THOUGHT YOU PEOPLE
WERE RUTHLESS.
WE ARE, MR. STONE--
THEN WHAT'S
THIS PHONE CALL ABOUT?
WE CALLED TO
MAKE YOU AN OFFER,
AN OFFER EVEN YOU
CAN'T REFUSE.
OH?
YEAH.
10,000.
FAT CHANCE!
MR. STONE,
THIS IS NO JOKE!
WE'RE
DESPERATE PEOPLE!
I BELIEVE
THIS IS A JOKE,
AND YOU'RE IT!
WHEN WE SPOKE LAST,
YOU SAID MY WIFE
WOULD BE IN THE MORGUE
IF I DIDN'T PAY.
I WAS AT THE MORGUE,
AND SHE WASN'T THERE.
YOU LIED.
KNOW WHAT I THINK?
NO.
YOU GOT NO NUTS!
DO I HAVE TO PUT
A GUN IN YOUR HAND,
AIM, AND PULL
YOUR FINGER DOWN,
YOU SPINELESS WIMP?
I DARE YOU
TO KILL HER!
NOW, THAT
OUGHT TO DO IT.
HEY, WANT TO
SELL ME A STEREO?
YEAH, I'LL
SELL YOU A STEREO.
I'M LOOKING
FOR SOMETHING HOT.
I DON'T WANT TO
GET RIPPED OFF.
OK.
YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR SOME REAL HOT
SPEAKERS, RIGHT?
I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT SOMETHING
YOU JUST LISTEN TO.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE KIND OF SOUND
YOU CAN FEEL.
YEAH!
YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN.
WHEN IT COMES
TO GREAT STEREO,
YOU CAN'T BEAT
BIG SPEAKERS.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
BIG SPEAKERS
WITH BIG WOOFERS.
LIKE THIS!
THIS HAS
A NICE LITTLE
8-INCH WOOFER,
OR THIS 10-INCHER.
OVER HERE, WE HAVE
A BIG 12-INCH.
BUT I CAN TELL
YOU WANT SOMETHING
EVEN BIGGER.
FUCK, YEAH.
"FUCK, YEAH"
IS RIGHT.
WE'VE GOT TO
GO TO THE BIG ROOM
FOR THIS.
THE BIG ROOM!
CHECK IT OUT,
MY MAN!
THE FLAGSHIP
OF THE DOMINATOR LINE--
THE MX-10.
I HAVE THESE.
30 INCHES
OF THIGH-SLAPPING,
BLOOD-PUMPING
NUCLEAR
BRAIN DAMAGE.
BITCHIN'! HEY,
WHAT'S IT FUCKING COST?
THAT'S THE GREAT PART!
IT DON'T MATTER.
IF YOU
CAN'T AFFORD IT,
FINANCE IT!
[ROCK 'N' ROLL PLAYS]
* KICK IT OUT!
KICK IT OUT! *
YEAH!
WOOO!
YEAH!
SO WHAT IF IT'S
AS BIG AS A SUBARU
AND COSTS AS MUCH?
YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO
TRADE THIS IN!
WHEN YOU DIE,
THEY CAN BURY YOU IN IT!
I WANT IT!
YEAH!
* WE'RE BETTER OFF DEAD
* YEAH, FISHHOOK,
ELECTRIC PROD *
* STICK A NEEDLE
IN MY MOUTH *
THIS GUY IS OK.
THE FIRST GUY
I CAN TRUST!
WHY DON'T I SHOW YOU
SOMETHING ELSE?
THEY'RE NOT
VERY BIG,
BUT THEY'RE RATED
THE BEST BUY--
THE CENTURY EV-1s.
THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO BREAK YOU.
KICK THEM UP!
A LITTLE MORE.
KICK IT OUT!
TWO MORE!
THAT'S IT!
WHEW!
I'M POOPED!
LET'S TAKE A BREAK.
TAKE A BREAK?
COME ON,
YOU LITTLE WIMP!
LET'S GO!
WELL,
HERE'S YOUR LUNCH.
IT'S FRUIT SALAD.
YOU SEEM TO
LIKE THAT THE MOST,
ALTHOUGH YOU DON'T
EAT MUCH.
MY BODY'S BECOME
A MORE EFFICIENT
MACHINE.
I GO FARTHER
WITH LESS FOOD.
YOU MUST BE
IN GOOD SHAPE.
YOU LOOK GOOD.
YOU'VE--YOU'VE LOST
A LOT OF WEIGHT.
HUH?
WHAT?
OH, YEAH. YOU'VE LOST
A LOT OF WEIGHT.
AT LEAST 20 POUNDS.
WHAT?
20--DO--DO YOU
HAVE A SCALE?
I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO THANK YOU!
THANK ME?
I'VE BEEN TO--
10 DIFFERENT FAT FARMS
IN THE LAST--
I DON'T KNOW
HOW MANY YEARS.
I LOST A TOTAL
OF 6 POUNDS.
I HAVE LOST 20 POUNDS!
I WASN'T SURE,
BUT...IT FELT THIN.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A--
NEVER MIND.
A--A WHAT?
NO, NO, NO.
IT'S--IT'S VERY SILLY.
NO, WHAT?
PLEASE TELL ME.
OH...ALL MY LIFE
I WANTED TO HAVE
A SLINKY LITTLE FIGURE
SO I COULD WEAR SOME...
BILL BLASS,
OR...VALENTINO.
SOME EXOTIC
FULL-LENGTH EVENING GOWN
LIKE CHRISTIAN DIOR.
ARE--ARE YOU
KIDDING ME?
YOU'RE KIDDING ME!
I'M SORRY.
I KNOW IT'S RIDICULOUS
TO THINK SOMEBODY
OF YOUR...
MODERATE MEANS--
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!
DON'T GO ANYWHERE, OK?
SAM STONE?
YOU'RE
UNDER ARREST.
FOR MIXING COTTON
WITH SILK?
* FOXY
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
BEAUTIFUL!
WHOSE DESIGN IS THIS?
IS THIS BILL BLASS?
IS THIS ALBERT NIPON?
TOO CONVENTIONAL.
I KNOW.
OSCAR DE LA RENTA.
I DESIGNED IT.
GET OUT OF HERE!
REALLY?
WOW!
YOU'RE
A PROFESSIONAL?
NAH.
YOU ARE!
THIS IS SENSATIONAL!
DO YOU HAVE MORE?
WAIT!
* YEAH
* I WON'T DO YOU
NO HARM, NO *
* YOU GOT TO BE
ALL MINE, ALL MINE *
* WOO, FOXY LADY
* FOXY
SO SAM TOLD YOU
I WAS HIS PARTNER?
NO WAY!
HE WAS JUST
PASSING THE BUCK.
OH...
SO...WHEN DO I
GET OUT OF HERE?
AS SOON AS MR. STONE
PAYS THE RANSOM.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
WHAT'S THE RANSOM?
IT--IT WAS $500,000.
THAT SHOULDN'T
BE A PROBLEM.
HE COMPLAINED.
HE COMPLAINED?
AND THEN WE
DROPPED OUR PRICE
TO $50,000.
YEAH?
HE DIDN'T PAY.
HE DIDN'T PAY?
SO NOW WHAT?
SO NOW WE'RE DROPPING
OUR PRICE AGAIN
TO $10,000.
DO I UNDERSTAND
THIS CORRECTLY?
I'M BEING
MARKED DOWN?
WHAT IS THIS,
THE BARGAIN BASEMENT?
I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED
BY K-MART.
OH, DON'T CRY,
BARBARA.
HEY,
CHECK IT OUT.
YOU SURE ARE PRETTY.
ALL RIGHT, STONE.
LET'S GO!
HEY, IS IT
SOMETHING I SAID?
ALTHOUGH IT'S
A CAPITAL CRIME,
THE ACCUSED IS
AN UPSTANDING MEMBER
OF THE COMMUNITY,
A RESPONSIBLE AND SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESSMAN,
AND HAS NEVER BEFORE
POSED A THREAT TO SOCIETY.
BAIL WILL BE GRANTED
AND SET AT, UM...
$700,000.
[BANG]
YOU WANT TO TRY
FOR A REDUCTION?
NO. LET'S GET
OUT OF HERE.
THAT FILTHY SLUG.
THAT SCREECHING WITCH.
THAT PASTY-FACED TROLL.
THE JUDGE?
MY WIFE. I GOT TO
GET HER BACK.
SANDY?
KENNY?
IT'S OVER.
SAM ISN'T GOING TO
PAY THE RANSOM.
I'M NO CRIMINAL.
I CAN'T EVEN
SELL RETAIL...
AND THAT'S LEGAL.
WE GOT TO GET PACKING
AND GET OUT.
I'VE GOT
SOME VERY INTERESTING
NEWS FOR YOU.
I AM THE NEW
RISING STAR
IN HIGH FASHION!
LET'S GET A GRIP
ON OURSELVES.
WE'RE GOING TO
MEXICO.
DOES THAT MEAN
WE LET BARBARA GO?
WE'RE NOT
TAKING HER WITH US.
I'VE ALREADY
LET HER GO.
WHAT?
YOU LET HER GO?
OH, MY GOD!
YOU LET HER RUN OUT?
YEAH!
OH, MY GOD!
SHE KNOWS
WHERE WE LIVE.
THE POLICE WILL
BE HERE ANY MINUTE!
NO. SHE REALLY
LIKES US NOW.
I SHOWED HER
MY GOWNS.
SHE LOVES THEM!
WE'RE ALL GOING
INTO BUSINESS
TOGETHER.
WE'LL OPEN
OUR FALL LINE
IN PARIS.
SHE REALLY,
TRULY LOVES ME!
SHE CAN
BE TRUSTED!
SHE'S CHANGED!
CHANGED?
DID YOU PERFORM
AN EXORCISM?
KEN, SHE LOST
NEARLY 20 POUNDS.
YOU HAD TO BE THERE.
IT WAS A SPECIAL MOMENT.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
I'M SURPRISED
THEY KNOCKED.
OH!
GOOD AFTERNOON.
I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU'VE SEEN
THIS MAN.
HE WAS SIGHTED
IN THE AREA
A FEW WEEKS AGO.
HE'S PSYCHOTIC
AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
HE'S KILLED
SIX PEOPLE.
I GOT TO GET
OUT OF HERE!
MY WIFE, SHE'S...
LATE FOR WORK.
DOESN'T LOOK
FAMILIAR.
KEEP THIS
AND GIVE US A CALL
IF YOU DO SEE HIM.
DON'T TRY
TO SUBDUE HIM.
HE'S
EXTREMELY VIOLENT.
HE LOOKS IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
OFFICER.
SANDY!
IT'S OK!
IT'S OK!
THEY'RE LOOKING
FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.
I'LL GET THE OTHER SUITCASE
FROM THE BASEMENT.
AAH!
HELLO?
HELLO?
ANYBODY HOME?
OH, HELLO.
ARE YOU A FRIEND
OF KEN AND SANDY'S?
YOU...
LOOK LIKE
MY MOTHER.
I HATE MY MOTHER.
OOH.
NO.
OOH.
YOU...
YOU LOOK JUST LIKE
MY FATHER.
I HATE MY FATHER!
AAH!
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
OH, HONEY,
DON'T TOUCH HIM!
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT?
IT'S THE BEDROOM
KILLER.
HE TOLD ME I LOOKED
LIKE HIS MOTHER.
HE HATES HIS MOTHER.
HE'S DEAD.
SO, IF I LOOK LIKE
HIS MOTHER,
AND YOU LOOK LIKE
HIS FATHER,
THIS IS WHAT OUR SON
WOULD LOOK LIKE.
PRETTY STRONG ARGUMENT
FOR BIRTH CONTROL.
WHAT DO
WE DO NOW?
BARBARA,
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
I GOT IT.
I TELL YOU, I'VE GOT IT!
LISTEN TO THIS.
SAM ARRIVES
ON A MOTORCYCLE
WEARING SHORTS.
NO SHOES. NO SHIRT. NOTHING.
MAYBE JUST A JOCKSTRAP.
THEN WE SEND HIM
ALL OVER TOWN
IN THE MIDDLE
OF A HOT, SUNNY DAY.
SAM BURNS EASILY.
HE'LL BE BRIGHT RED
IN NO TIME.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
THIS IS HAPPENING.
THEN HE COVERS HIMSELF
WITH HONEY
AND GOES
TO A BEE FARM.
THE BEES GO NUTS.
I DON'T THINK
SHE MEANS IT.
THEN WE WATCH WHILE
THEY STING HIM TO DEATH.
BARBARA, DON'T WE
WANT A PUNISHMENT
THAT WILL LAST?
MY GOD, HE MUST
HAVE BEEN SEEING
THIS WOMAN FOR YEARS.
CASTRATE HIM!
I WANT TO CASTRATE HIM.
WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER
IF WE STRUCK AT HIS CORE?
HIS REASON FOR LIVING?
WHAT WOULD THAT BE?
HIS TESTICLES.
WOULD YOU
KNOW WHAT SAM'S
TOTAL WORTH WOULD BE?
NOT JUST THE BIG STUFF.
THE LITTLE STUFF, TOO.
YEAH, I THINK SO.
GOOD.
I WANT YOU
TO WRITE IT DOWN
IN PLENTY OF DETAIL.
FIRE UP THE STOVE.
GET THE TOFU BURGERS.
WE'RE CALLING SAM.
MY TUX.
MY SILK TUX.
ET TU, ADOLPH?
ET TU?
[WHINING]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
HELLO?
HI, SAM.
OH, THANK GOD
IT'S YOU!
I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT YOUR LAST OFFER.
$10,000 IS FAIR
AND ACCEPTABLE.
SHE'S
IN BAD SHAPE, SAM.
WE'VE BEEN
TORTURING HER.
[SIZZLING]
AAH!
[SIZZLING]
AAH!
DON'T KILL HER!
DON'T KILL HER.
WE DISCOVERED
YOUR WIFE'S WORTH
MORE THAN 10,000.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WE'VE UPPED
THE RANSOM.
TO WHAT?
$2 MILLION.
$2 MILLION?
ARE YOU OUT
OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?
WHERE'D YOU GET
A FIGURE LIKE THAT?
YOU'D BE SURPRISED
AT THE QUALITY
OF INFORMATION
A LIT CIGARETTE
CAN PROVIDE.
[SIZZLING]
AAH!
WHAT ELSE?
SHH.
HE'S GOT RARE GEMS
IN A SAFE.
SAM, FORGIVE ME.
WHAT KIND OF GEMS?
HOW MANY?
I DON'T KNOW!
[SIZZLING]
AAH!
AAH!
[SIZZLING]
AAH!
FOUR FLAWLESS
ONE-CARAT DIAMONDS!
AARGH!
THE BITCH BLABBED!
APPARENTLY, YOU GOT
A MILLION TWO
BUILT UP
IN SAM'S SPORTSWEAR.
ANOTHER 350,000
IN YOUR PENSION PLAN.
GENERAL DYNAMICS
CLOSED AT 75 3/4 TODAY,
WHICH BRINGS
ANOTHER 175,000.
45,000
FOR THE EXCALIBUR.
NOW THERE'S THE FOUR
ONE-CARAT DIAMONDS IN THE SAFE.
YOU INHUMAN SLIME!
AFTER HIS RELEASE,
MR. STONE CONTINUED
TO DENY THE CHARGES.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY INSISTS
THERE'S OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE.
OVERWHELMING
EVIDENCE IS RIGHT.
WHAT MORE
DO THEY WANT?
HOW COULD THEY
LET HIM GO?
HELLO?
HELLO.
IT'S ME AGAIN.
I SEE SAM STONE'S
BEEN RELEASED.
IT'S NOT EASY
KEEPING A MAN
IN JAIL
WITH THESE
LIBERAL COURTS.
A MAN IS INNOCENT
UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
HOW DO YOU THINK
THESE COURTS WOULD FEEL
IF I GAVE THAT TAPE
TO THE MEDIA?
OH, MY...GOD.
YEAH. THEY'D
GO CRAZY FOR IT.
THEY LOVE TO SHOW
SICK STUFF LIKE THAT.
IT'D PROBABLY
BE ON NATIONAL TV
24 HOURS A DAY
FOR WEEKS.
I BET THAT'D
GET A REACTION.
PLEASE,
DON'T DO THAT!
WHERE'S YOUR
SENSE OF COMPASSION?
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO
BE SO VICIOUS?
VICIOUS? HAVE YOU
SEEN THAT TAPE?
COME ON,
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
IT'S JUST
A LONELY MAN
WHO WANTED
A LITTLE EXCITEMENT.
THAT KIND OF THING
HAPPENS EVERY DAY.
EVERYBODY DOES IT!
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
I DON'T BELIEVE
YOU SAID THAT.
MEN GET THE URGE.
WE'RE ONLY HUMAN!
YOU'RE SICK!
HELLO?
DON'T HANG UP
ON ME, PLEASE!
SO WHAT DID HE SAY?
SOMETHING STRANGE
IS HAPPENING HERE.
EITHER THE CHIEF IS
A COMPLETE MORON--
AND COMPLETE MORONS
ARE RARE--
OR HE'S PLAYING
GAMES WITH ME.
WE BETTER
FIND SOMEPLACE
WHERE WE CAN
LOOK AT THAT TAPE.
SHALL WE LOOK
IN SARA'S ROOM?
THIS IS PERFECT.
IT IS?
GIVE ME THE TAPE.
I'VE GOT 10 MINUTES
TO GET TO THE RADIO STATION.
OK.
EASY TO WEAR,
HARD TO RESIST.
OH!
OH!
OH! OH!
OH!
OHHH!
YOU IDIOT!
THIS ISN'T SAM!
AND HE ISN'T
KILLING HER.
THAT'S
MY HUSBAND!
BARBARA REALLY
WAS KIDNAPPED.
SHE REALLY
WAS KIDNAPPED!
PLEASE BELIEVE ME!
YOU GOT TO BE THERE!
THEY'RE COMING
THIS TIME FOR SURE!
I THINK THE DELI'S
USING A DIFFERENT MUSTARD.
LAST TIME,
IT WAS TANGIER--
I'M PLEADING FOR MY LIFE,
AND YOU'RE DISCUSSING
THE INCONSISTENCIES
OF LUNCH MEAT CONDIMENTS!
HAVEN'T YOU HEARD
A WORD I'VE SAID?
AAH!
SINCE THE HOUSE
IS IN YOUR WIFE'S NAME,
AS WELL AS HER OTHER
15 MILLION IN ASSETS,
YOU'RE NOT LEGALLY
ENTITLED TO IT
WHILE SHE'S ALIVE.
HOWEVER, YOU'VE GOT
A MILLION TWO
BUILT UP IN EQUITY

I'VE CALLED
A HUNDRED TIMES.
SAM, I MISS YOU.
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
I'M GOING CRAZY OVER
THIS KIDNAPPING THING,
AND THE COPS
WON'T HELP ME.
WHY?
THEY THINK I MADE UP
THE KIDNAPPING.
THEY WON'T EVEN SHOW UP
AT THE RANSOM DROP.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE
ALL BY YOURSELF?
THAT'S TERRIBLE.
HOW MUCH MONEY
IS IT?
$2.2 MILLION.
CASH?
OF COURSE.
HAVE YOU HEARD
OF A KIDNAPPER
TAKING A CHECK?

THE ORDER TO KILL!
LEAVE ME ALONE,
OR SHE'S A DEAD WOMAN!
YOU WANT HER BLOOD
ON YOUR HANDS?
WHAT DO
YOU THINK?
LET'S JUST

THAT WAS
A BRAND-NEW TIRE.
GIVE ME YOUR KEYS.
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!
GIVE THE BAG TO BOZO,
DROP THE GUN,
AND PUT YOUR HANDS
IN THE AIR.
WHO SAID THAT?
THIS COULD
VERY WELL BE
THE STUPIDEST PERSON
ON THE FACE

PERHAPS WE

I'D JUST LIKE TO BE ALONE

CAROL, DID I TELL YOU
WHY I MARRIED HER?
YES, SAM,
MANY, MANY--
HER FATHER WAS
VERY, VERY RICH
AND VERY, VERY SICK.
THE DOCTORS ASSURED ME
HE'D BE DEAD ANY MINUTE.
THERE WASN'T
A SECOND TO LOSE.
I RUSHED OUT AND MARRIED
THE BOSS' DAUGHTER.
HE WAS SO SICK,
IT WAS LIKE
THE ANGEL OF DEATH
WAS SITTING IN THE ROOM
WATCHING THE CLOCK.
THEY PULLED
THE PLUG ON HIM.
HE WHEEZED AND SHOOK
FOR ABOUT AN HOUR,
AND THEN...
HE STABILIZED!
THE SON OF A BITCH
JUST GOT
OLDER AND SICKER
AND OLDER AND SICKER
AND OLDER AND SICKER!
MORE COFFEE, SIR?
NO!
I COULDN'T WAIT.
I WENT OUT AND MADE
MY OWN FORTUNE.
THE OLD FART HUNG ON
FOR ANOTHER 15 YEARS!
FINALLY DIED
OF NATURAL CAUSES.
I WANT THE REST
OF THAT MONEY.
HIS MONEY, HER MONEY--
IT'S MY MONEY.
I HAD TO LIVE
WITH THAT SQUEALING,
CORPULENT LITTLE TOAD
ALL THESE YEARS!
I HATE THAT WOMAN!
I HATE THE WAY
SHE LICKS STAMPS.
I HATE HER FURNITURE.
AND I HATE THAT LITTLE
SOUND SHE MAKES
WHEN SHE SLEEPS.
[SNORE]
BAA!
[SNORE]
BAA!
AH!
AND THAT FILTHY, LITTLE
SHITBAG DOG OF HERS--MUFFY!
AREN'T YOU SCARED?
SCARED?
HELL, NO!
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
MY ONLY REGRET, CAROL,
IS THAT THE PLAN
ISN'T MORE VIOLENT.
DON'T YOU CONSIDER
THROWING A BODY
OFF A CLIFF
IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
VIOLENT?
NAH! SHE'LL BE
UNCONSCIOUS,
KNOCKED OUT
FROM THE CHLOROFORM.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
HANDS-ON INVOLVEMENT.
HANDS-ON?
OH?
OH HO HO!
I'M GOING NOW.
I CAN'T WAIT!
GRRR...
GOOD LUCK.
BARBARA, DEAR,
I HAVE SOMETHING
FOR YOU.
BARBARA?
WHERE ARE YOU, DEAREST?
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
HONEY?
BARBARA?
DUMPLING?
BARBARA?
NO NOTES?
NO MESSAGES?
THIS IS NOT LIKE YOU,
YOU METICULOUS BITCH.
IT'S JUST LIKE THAT WOMAN

I'M AT THE STONE MANSION
IN BEL AIR,
WHERE 45 MINUTES AGO

WHEN THEY TRACK YOU DOWN,
YOU, YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY,
EVERYBODY YOU EVER KNEW,
WILL ALL GET
CHAIN-SAW ENEMAS!
THAT'S NOT ALL!
OH, MY GOD!
I'VE BEEN ABDUCTED
BY HUEY AND DEWEY!
JESUS CHRIST!
IT SMELLS LIKE
A TOILET IN HERE!
IT'S JUST AMMONIA.
WE CLEANED
THIS PLACE UP.
I HAD A SPONGE--
MY HUSBAND WORSHIPS
THE GROUND I WALK ON!
WHEN HE HEARS ABOUT THIS,
HE WILL EXPLODE!
HA HA HA HA!
BYE-BYE, BARBARA.
HA HA HA!
A KIDNAPPING TODAY
IN BEL AIR.
POLICE TELL US
BARBARA STONE,
THE WIFE
OF CLOTHING TYCOON
SAM STONE,
WAS ABDUCTED
FROM THE COUPLE'S ESTATE.
PRELIMINARY SOURCES
INDICATED THAT MR. STONE
WAS CONTACTED
LATE THIS AFTERNOON,
AND THAT A RANSOM DEMAND
HAS BEEN MADE.
....KILL MRS. STONE
IF HIS DEMANDS
WERE NOT MET.
IT'S ON EVERY
GODDAMN CHANNEL!
MILLIONAIRE HEIRESS
BARBARA STONE
HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED--
WHAT DID HE DO,
HIRE A PUBLICIST?
I FEEL TERRIBLE.
DO YOU FEEL
AS GUILTY AS I DO?
ARE YOU KIDDING?
HE TAKES OUR MONEY,
STEALS YOUR IDEA,
GOES OUT AND MAKES
A MILLION DOLLARS,
AND YOU FEEL GUILTY?
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE WE BEEN OVER THIS?
OH, HONEY,
NOT AGAIN.
LET ME REMIND YOU
OF SOMETHING.
YOU ARE THE SPANDEX
MINISKIRT KING,
NOT HIM.
HE IS THE SPANDEX
MINISKIRT THIEF.
HE'S THE ONE
WHO SHOULD FEEL GUILTY.
LOOK AT THIS.
DO YOU REMEMBER THIS?
YOU CRIED FOR A WEEK
WHEN YOU SAW THIS.
LOOK AT THE SMILE
ON THAT ASSHOLE.
I KNOW HE STOLE IT,
BUT S DIDN'T
DO ANYTHING.
SHE'S HIS PARTNER!
DAMN IT, SANDY,
DO YOU ENJOY
GETTING STEPPED ON?
DO YOU?
'CAUSE I DON'T.
AND I DON'T FEEL GUILTY.
I TAKE IT BACK.
I DO FEEL GUILTY.
I FEEL VERY GUILTY.
I TRUSTED A SLEAZEBALL
LIKE SAM STONE
WITH OUR LIFE SAVINGS
ON A HANDSHAKE DEAL
AND SAT THERE
AND WATCHED HIM
TAKE IT AWAY.
THAT'S OVER.
WE KNOW BETTER NOW.
FROM NOW ON,
WE TRUST NO ONE.
TO HELL
WITH EVERYBODY ELSE.
WE'VE GOT TO BE RUTHLESS.
THINK RUTHLESS.
WHAT IF I CAN'T?
YOU'VE GOT TO.
IT MAKES YOU STRONG.
WHY BE DECENT
WHEN NOBODY ELSE IS?
LET'S BE ASSHOLES
AND GET RICH.
OOH!
[VACUUM REVS]
OHH!

[REVS]
OHH!
OHH!

OHH!
OH, WHOA!
I'M CRAZY ABOUT YOU,
YOU BIG GALOOT!
OOH! YOU WERE
SOMETHING TODAY!
YEAH.
IT JUST DOESN'T GET
ANY BETTER THAN THIS.
MM, I'LL TAKE
A QUICK SHOWER.
CAN YOU BE READY
WHEN I GET OUT?
READY?
YOU'RE GETTING READY
FOR SAM.
THE VIDEO EQUIPMENT,
REMEMBER?
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT.
OH, YEAH.
I KNEW THAT.
YOU REMEMBER WHERE
I TOLD YOU TO GO?
THE OLD DESERTED BRIDGE
NEAR THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN.
THAT'S RIGHT.
HE'LL HAVE A RENTED CAR.
HE'S AFRAID
OF GETTING BLOOD
ON HIS SPORTS CAR.
GET AS CLOSE
AS YOU CAN.
GET A GOOD SHOT
OF HIS FACE.
WITHOUT IT,
WE CAN'T BLACKMAIL HIM.
YOU GET THAT VIDEOTAPE
OF SAM FINISHING OFF
HIS WIFE,
AND HE WILL GIVE US
ANYTHING WE WANT
FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.
YEAH. THEN WE'RE
OFF TO HAITI.
NOT HAITI--TAHITI.
I KNEW THAT.
THE PASSPORTS
CAME TODAY.
COOL.
FRANK.
GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
WHAT HAVE WE GOT?
WE FOUND
A CHLOROFORM-SOAKED
HANDKERCHIEF
STUFFED DOWN
IN THE GARBAGE,
AND A TIRE PRINT
ON THE LAWN.
WE FOUND BLOOD
IN THE KITCHEN.
WHERE'S MR. STONE?
UPSTAIRS.
HE SEEMS
PRETTY UPSET.
* WHOA!
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
YES?
MR. STONE,
LIEUTENANT BENDER

THEY'D LIKE TO START
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

A WOMAN MAKE NOISE.

MY HEAD OFF, HONEY.
IT'S YOUR MONEY.

LIKE A GUNNYSACK.
AAH!

OHH! AAAAH!
[VOMITING]
I HAVE NO ENEMIES
THAT I KNOW OF.
I'M A BUSINESSMAN.
I MANUFACTURE
WOMEN'S SPORTSWEAR.
I THINK I'VE
HEARD OF YOU.
DON'T THEY CALL YOU
THE SPANDEX KING?
THE SPANDEX
MINISKIRT KING.
PROBABLY READ
ONE OF THE ARTICLES.
IT WAS HIS IDEA--
SPANDEX MINISKIRTS.
WAS THERE
ANYBODY HERE TODAY
WHEN YOU CAME HOME--
SERVANTS, MAIDS?
IT'S THE MAID'S
DAY OFF.
DID YOU NOTICE ANYTHING
OUT OF THE ORDINARY?
NOT THAT I CAN REMEMBER.
WHEN DID YOU
COME HOME?
THAT'S THE DOG.
SHE ISN'T PROPERLY
HOUSE TRAINED.
NO, IT'S SWEET.
THE DOG'S
A LITTLE DIABETIC.
I THINK IT'S WINE OR--
OH, OH!
I KNOW
WHAT THAT MUST BE.
I CLOSED A VERY IMPORTANT
BUSINESS DEAL THIS MORNING,
AND WHEN I CAME HOME,
I OPENED A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE.
AS I WAS WALKING
THROUGH THE HOUSE CELEBRATING,
I CALLED TO BARBARA TO COME
AND SHARE THE MOMENT WITH ME.
SHE NEVER CAME.
THOSE MONSTERS!
EARL!
IT WAS HORRIBLE.
SHE WASN'T DRUGGED
OR ANYTHING.
WHAT HAPPENED?
SHE SCREAMED
AND SCREAMED,
AND GOD,
IT TOOK FOREVER!
IT MUST HAVE LASTED
TWO MINUTES.
HE KEPT STOPPING
AND STARTING.
HE'D LET HER
CATCH HER BREATH
AND START AGAIN.
SHE'D SCREAM
LOUDER AND LOUDER.
WHEN SHE FINALLY DIED,
HE LOOKED SO SATISFIED,
I THOUGHT
HE WAS GOING TO
LIGHT A CIGARETTE.
SON OF A BITCH
ENJOYED IT.
SAM'S JUST BEEN ON TV
CLAIMING SHE WAS KIDNAPPED.
SHE WASN'T KIDNAPPED.
HE KILLED HER.
HONEY, I KNOW.
IT'S AN ALIBI.
HE SAID THAT
TO THROW THE POLICE
OFF HIS TRAIL.
YOU'RE GOING TO
WATCH THAT?
I THINK I SHOULD.
BABY, YOU DON'T WANT TO.
IT'LL MAKE YOU SICK.
I THINK
I CAN TAKE IT.
OH, NO.
AAH! OHH!
OH! OH!
OOH! I CAN'T
WATCH THIS.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
HE ACTUALLY
WENT THROUGH WITH IT.
[GASPS]
STAY HERE.
DON'T COME OUT.
SAM'S HERE.
TA-DA!
* ZIP-A-DEE DOO-DAH
* ZIP-A-DEE-AY
* MY, OH, MY,
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY! *
I'VE BEEN
WATCHING YOU ON TV.
GOOD PERFORMANCE, SAM.
WHAT A STORY!
"BARBARA STONE KIDNAPPED."
I COULDN'T HAVE MADE UP
ANYTHING BETTER.
IT'S BRILLIANT!
AND THE PRESS
LOVES IT.
WELL, THAT'S
VERY CLEVER, SAM.
IT'S INSPIRED.
IMAGINE--SOMEONE
DEMANDING MONEY FROM ME
TO KEEP BARBARA ALIVE.
UNBELIEVABLE!
IDIOTS!
COME ON.
LET'S HAVE A DRINK.
I CAN'T STAY LONG.
I'VE GOT TO GET BACK
AND LOOK SAD.
THE POLICE BELIEVED YOU?
THEY ATE IT UP.
I FED 'EM A BANQUET
OF BULLSHIT.
I THREW THEM OFF
BY MILES.
ALL I HAVE TO DO
IS JUST DO NOTHING.
I HAVE TO SHOW UP
AT THE FICTITIOUS
RANSOM DROP.
YOU MADE UP YOUR OWN
RANSOM DROP?
NATURALLY.
I GOT NEWS

IF PROCEDURE WASN'T
FOLLOWED ACCURATELY,

DEFINITELY.
UH...WHAT METHOD
WOULD YOU USE?
A BULLET

THAT WOULD DO IT.
NO QUESTION.
UM...WELL, YOU'VE
GOT ME CONVINCED.

RIGHT. YOU'RE
GOOD AT THIS.
WE CAN'T BE
TOO CAREFUL WITH SAM.
HE'S A VERY
SUSPICIOUS MAN.
YEAH.
I'VE GOT TO SEE HIM
ONE MORE TIME.
IF I DON'T SEE HIM
ON HIS BIRTHDAY,
HE'LL BE VERY,
VERY SUSPICIOUS.
HE'LL BE EXPECTING
HIS USUAL PRESENT.
IT'S BEEN HORRIBLE.
NO MATTER
WHAT I DO,
SHE JUST TEARS
INTO ME.
SHE HATES ME.
SANDY, YOU'RE
HER KIDNAPPER.
SHE'S SUPPOSED
TO HATE YOU.
I'LL TAKE IT.
OK.
JUST IGNORE HER.
HEEYA!

I'M A REAL AFICIONADO

BIG, UGLY,
HAIRY FRIENDS.
NOT THAT YOU'LL SEE
WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE
'CAUSE YOU'LL BE

DOES IT MEET WITH
YOUR SATISFACTION?
MMM...

ANYTHING ELSE
YOU DESIRE?
HOW ABOUT A BIG DOG?
CAN YOU GET ONE?
A BIG DOG?
YEAH, LIKE A GREAT DANE
OR A MASTIFF.
HOW BIG'S

SAM, AS SEXUALLY
PROVOCATIVE

I'M NOT ASKING YOU

CAN I HELP YOU?
YEAH. KATIE'S HERE

HOW MUCH DID YOU
WANT TO SPEND?
$500.
$800.
$500.
OK. I THINK
I HAVE AN IDEA.
LET'S START
WITH SPEAKERS.
OVER HERE, WE HAVE
A GREAT SPEAKER--
THE CENTURY EV-1.
CONSUMER STEREO RATED
THIS A BEST BUY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THIS ONE?
THE DOMINATOR X-1?
WELL, THE DOMINATOR'S
A GOOD MARKETING IDEA,
BUT IT'S REALLY NOT
A GOOD SPEAKER.
WE MARK IT UP 500%
AND SELL IT AT 50% OFF.
THE CUSTOMER THINKS
HE'S GETTING A DEAL,
AND WE MAKE A BUNDLE.
IT'S SO BIG
AND IMPRESSIVE.
SIZE MEANS
VERY LITTLE.
BIGGER IS NOT
NECESSARILY BETTER.
I SOUND LIKE
DR. RUTH. HA HA HA!
YOU MEAN
THE DOMINATOR'S
LIKE A...
THE DOMINATORS ARE
VERY POPULAR WITH MEN
WHO'D LIKE TO HAVE
BIGGER...UH...
EQUIPMENT?
EXACTLY.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S TRY THIS ONE.
THE KNEES ARE BENT DOWN.
HIPS TUCKED UNDER.
WE'RE GOING TO
WORK ON THE WAIST--
LOOSEN IT UP.
OUT, AND REACH
AS FAR AS YOU CAN.
KEEP GOING. OK, LEFT.
HOLD IT TO THE LEFT.
REACH AS FAR
AS YOU CAN.
REACH THE RIGHT ARM UP.
VERY SLOWLY TWIST
THROUGH THE RIB CAGE,
AND THEN SLOWLY LIFT
THAT RIGHT LEG UP
AND HOLD IT. ALL RIGHT.
AAH...
KEEP HOLDING IT.
DOESN'T THAT FEEL GOOD?

DID YOU GET
THIS, CAROL?
A FRIEND OF MINE
TOOK IT.
IT'S TERRIFIC.
I KNOW WHY YOU SENT ME

AND YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M GOING TO DO?
I'M GOING TO DO
THE SAME THING WITH YOU,
AND YOU, TOO, CAN
SCREAM YOUR BRAINS OUT
BECAUSE NO ONE'S
GOING TO HEAR.
YOU ARE GOING TO BE
BEGGING ME FOR MERCY.
WHIMPERING. HA HA HA!

LISTEN TO THIS.
THIS IS
MY FAVORITE PART.
AAH! AAH! AAAAH!
AAH!

TORTURE ME

I CAN'T STAY HERE.
I'M GOING TO
HAVE TO STAY...

BEFORE YOU'RE CAUGHT,
RIGHT, HONEYBUNS?
BARBARA, I WANT TO ASK YOU
A PERSONAL QUESTION.
YOU AND MR. STONE...
DID YOU GET ALONG?
[FOOTSTEPS]
SO, WHAT DID
SHE SAY?
SHE JUST INSULTED ME.
I DON'T THINK
HE LOVES HER.
FACE IT, SHE'S
NOT MOTHER TERESA.
GANDHI WOULD HAVE
STRANGLED HER.
WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO DO?
I'M TIRED OF BEING
SCARED ALL THE TIME.
I CAN'T TAKE THIS
ANYMORE.
I KNOW HE'S BLUFFING.
I JUST KNOW IT.
I'VE GOT TO BE
REALLY TOUGH WITH HIM.
NEVER LET
THE SELLER KNOW
YOU'RE HOT TO TROT.
TELL HIM YOU HAVEN'T
GOT THE MONEY.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
DEBBIE?
YEAH, DEBBIE'S HERE.
WHO'S THIS?
WELL, RALPH,
DEBBIE CAN'T TALK
RIGHT NOW.
MY DICK'S IN HER MOUTH.
HOW ABOUT I HAVE HER
CALL YOU BACK
WHEN I'M DONE?
I LOVE WRONG NUMBERS.
ANYWAY, TELL HIM YOU
DON'T HAVE THE MONEY.
THAT IT'S ALL TIED UP
IN INVESTMENTS.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HANG ON.
A BAD SALESMAN
AUTOMATICALLY
DROPS HIS PRICE.
BAD SALESMEN
MAKE ME SICK.
HELLO?
MR. STONE...
DO YOU LOVE YOUR WIFE?
HANG ON.
WOULD YOU
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE?
SURE, MR. STONE.
GO AHEAD.
MR. STONE, YOU LOVE
YOUR WIFE, DON'T YOU?
SURE, I LOVE HER.
MR. STONE, WE DEMAND
A SATISFACTORY
EXPLANATION
WHY YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN
WITH THE MONEY.
YOU'RE ASKING
A LOT OF CASH.
I HAVEN'T GOT
THAT KIND OF MONEY.
IT'S ALL TIED UP
IN INVESTMENTS.
I'M SORRY.
SORRY? WHAT DO
YOU MEAN, "SORRY"?
NO CAN DO.

BRING 50,000

YOU'LL SEE YOUR WIFE
IN THE MORGUE, PAL.
MR. STONE, WE THINK
WE'VE FOUND YOUR WIFE.
WE'LL NEED YOU
TO COME IDENTIFY
THE BODY.
UH-HUH.
THAT'S NOT HER.
THERE MUST
BE SOME MISTAKE.
WE WANT THE WOMAN
WHO WAS BROUGHT IN
THIS MORNING.
JANE DOE 56?
SHE'S IN THE NEXT ROOM.
IT LOOKS LIKE HER...
A LOT LIKE HER,
BUT IT'S NOT HER.

WHILE SHE MAKES UP HER MIND *

YOU'RE NOT VERY SMART? *

UH...YES.
I'M THE ONE
WHO SENT YOU THE TAPE.
HAVE YOU HAD
A LOOK AT IT YET?
YES.
I JUST SAW IT.
SO WHAT DO YOU
THINK?
WELL, OBVIOUSLY
IT'S VERY UPSETTING.
THIS WHOLE THING'S
MAKING ME ILL.
OH, I AGREE.
THAT POOR WOMAN.
SHE HAD TO GO THROUGH
A LIVING HELL.
I'D RATHER DIE
A QUICK DEATH.
ALL RIGHT!
ALL RIGHT!
WHAT DO YOU
WANT FROM ME?
WELL,
ARRESTING SAM STONE
WOULD BE A GOOD START.
YOU WANT ME
TO ARREST SAM STONE?
ANY SPECIAL REASON
WHY I SHOULD
ARREST HIM?
FOR MURDERING
HIS WIFE!
MURDER? WELL,
UH...ALL RIGHT. OK.
BUT YOU KNOW
IT'S NOT GOING TO
BE EASY.
I'LL NEED EVIDENCE.
THAT TAPE ISN'T ENOUGH
TO CONVINCE YOU?
GEEZ.
THINK OF THE PUBLICITY
YOU'LL GET.
ALL RIGHT!
ALL RIGHT!
I'M CONVINCED.
I'LL HAVE SAM STONE
ARRESTED.
THANK YOU.
SAM STONE?
CHIEF BENTON.
THE INVESTIGATION'S
TAKING A NEW DIRECTION.
WE'VE REASON TO BELIEVE
STONE MAY HAVE MURDERED
HIS WIFE.
MR. STONE?
OH, NO.

SOMETHING.
YES, SIR.

A WORD WITH YOU?
OH, SURE.
COME UPSTAIRS.
WE CAN TALK
IN THE SALESMEN'S OFFICE.
HAVE A SEAT.
MR. KESSLER,
OVER A WEEK AGO
A LADY NAMED
BARBARA STONE
WAS KIDNAPPED.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR
WITH THIS?
YEAH.
I READ ABOUT IT.
WE BELIEVE
THE VEHICLE
THE KIDNAPPERS USED
LEFT A TIRE PRINT
IN HER DRIVEWAY.
WE TOOK A MOLD
AND ANALYZED IT.
THESE ARE THE PRINTS
OF THE KIDNAPPERS' CAR.
THESE ARE THE PRINTS
OF YOUR CAR.
[BEEPING]
IS THERE A PHONE
I CAN USE?
UH...SURE.
IT'S RIGHT OVER THERE,
UH...ON THE DESK.
HUH.
AMAZING SIMILARITY.
WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME?
I'VE GOT TO GO TO
THE BATHROOM.
I'VE GOT A TOUCH
OF THE STOMACH FLU.
SURE.
GO RIGHT AHEAD.
CHLOROFORM?
WHAT ABOUT
FINGERPRINTS?
BINGO.
WE HAVE A WINNER.
YOU WON'T
BELIEVE THIS.
THEY FOUND EVIDENCE
IMPLICATING STONE.
STONE?
YOU'RE KIDDING.
CHLOROFORM
AND FINGERPRINTS.
I'LL BE DAMNED.
LET'S GET OUT
OF HERE.
WHERE'S KESSLER?

UHH.
[CRASH]
OOHH.
STOMACH FLU.
MR. KESSLER?
I'LL BE

DON'T BOTHER, SIR!
THANK YOU
FOR YOUR HELP.
WE'LL JUST
SHOW OURSELVES OUT.
OOHH!
ARRGH.
UNH.
HELLO.
MR. STONE, WE CAME
CLOSE TO KILLING
YOUR WIFE,
BUT SHE BEGGED US
REPEATEDLY
FOR JUST
ONE MORE CHANCE.
IN THE SPIRIT
OF COMPASSION
AND MERCY,
WE DECIDED
NOT TO KILL HER.
COMPASSION AND MERCY?
WHAT THE HELL'S
GOING ON?
I THOUGHT YOU PEOPLE
WERE RUTHLESS.
WE ARE, MR. STONE--
THEN WHAT'S
THIS PHONE CALL ABOUT?
WE CALLED TO
MAKE YOU AN OFFER,
AN OFFER EVEN YOU
CAN'T REFUSE.
OH?
YEAH.
10,000.
FAT CHANCE!
MR. STONE,
THIS IS NO JOKE!
WE'RE
DESPERATE PEOPLE!
I BELIEVE
THIS IS A JOKE,
AND YOU'RE IT!
WHEN WE SPOKE LAST,
YOU SAID MY WIFE
WOULD BE IN THE MORGUE
IF I DIDN'T PAY.
I WAS AT THE MORGUE,
AND SHE WASN'T THERE.
YOU LIED.
KNOW WHAT I THINK?
NO.
YOU GOT NO NUTS!
DO I HAVE TO PUT
A GUN IN YOUR HAND,
AIM, AND PULL
YOUR FINGER DOWN,
YOU SPINELESS WIMP?
I DARE YOU
TO KILL HER!
NOW, THAT
OUGHT TO DO IT.
HEY, WANT TO
SELL ME A STEREO?
YEAH, I'LL
SELL YOU A STEREO.
I'M LOOKING
FOR SOMETHING HOT.
I DON'T WANT TO
GET RIPPED OFF.
OK.
YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR SOME REAL HOT
SPEAKERS, RIGHT?
I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT SOMETHING
YOU JUST LISTEN TO.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE KIND OF SOUND
YOU CAN FEEL.
YEAH!
YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN.
WHEN IT COMES
TO GREAT STEREO,
YOU CAN'T BEAT
BIG SPEAKERS.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
BIG SPEAKERS
WITH BIG WOOFERS.
LIKE THIS!
THIS HAS
A NICE LITTLE
8-INCH WOOFER,
OR THIS 10-INCHER.
OVER HERE, WE HAVE
A BIG 12-INCH.
BUT I CAN TELL
YOU WANT SOMETHING
EVEN BIGGER.
FUCK, YEAH.
"FUCK, YEAH"
IS RIGHT.
WE'VE GOT TO
GO TO THE BIG ROOM
FOR THIS.
THE BIG ROOM!
CHECK IT OUT,
MY MAN!
THE FLAGSHIP

I HAVE THESE.
30 INCHES

BITCHIN'! HEY,

CAN'T AFFORD IT,
FINANCE IT!
[ROCK 'N' ROLL PLAYS]
* KICK IT OUT!
KICK IT OUT! *
YEAH!
WOOO!

I WANT IT!
YEAH!
* WE'RE BETTER OFF DEAD
* YEAH, FISHHOOK,
ELECTRIC PROD *
* STICK A NEEDLE

THIS GUY IS OK.
THE FIRST GUY
I CAN TRUST!
WHY DON'T I SHOW YOU
SOMETHING ELSE?
THEY'RE NOT
VERY BIG,
BUT THEY'RE RATED
THE BEST BUY--
THE CENTURY EV-1s.
THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO BREAK YOU.
KICK THEM UP!
A LITTLE MORE.
KICK IT OUT!
TWO MORE!
THAT'S IT!
WHEW!
I'M POOPED!
LET'S TAKE A BREAK.
TAKE A BREAK?
COME ON,

LET'S GO!
WELL,
HERE'S YOUR LUNCH.
IT'S FRUIT SALAD.
YOU SEEM TO
LIKE THAT THE MOST,
ALTHOUGH YOU DON'T
EAT MUCH.
MY BODY'S BECOME
A MORE EFFICIENT

I GO FARTHER
WITH LESS FOOD.
YOU MUST BE
IN GOOD SHAPE.
YOU LOOK GOOD.
YOU'VE--YOU'VE LOST
A LOT OF WEIGHT.
HUH?

OH, YEAH. YOU'VE LOST
A LOT OF WEIGHT.
AT LEAST 20 POUNDS.

HAVE A SCALE?
I DON'T KNOW HOW

THANK ME?
I'VE BEEN TO--
10 DIFFERENT FAT FARMS
IN THE LAST--
I DON'T KNOW
HOW MANY YEARS.
I LOST A TOTAL
OF 6 POUNDS.
I HAVE LOST 20 POUNDS!
I WASN'T SURE,
BUT...IT FELT THIN.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A--
NEVER MIND.
A--A WHAT?
NO, NO, NO.
IT'S--IT'S VERY SILLY.
NO, WHAT?
PLEASE TELL ME.
OH...ALL MY LIFE
I WANTED TO HAVE
A SLINKY LITTLE FIGURE
SO I COULD WEAR SOME...
BILL BLASS,
OR...VALENTINO.
SOME EXOTIC
FULL-LENGTH EVENING GOWN
LIKE CHRISTIAN DIOR.
ARE--ARE YOU
KIDDING ME?
YOU'RE KIDDING ME!
I'M SORRY.
I KNOW IT'S RIDICULOUS
TO THINK SOMEBODY
OF YOUR...
MODERATE MEANS--
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!
DON'T GO ANYWHERE, OK?
SAM STONE?
YOU'RE
UNDER ARREST.
FOR MIXING COTTON
WITH SILK?
* FOXY
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
BEAUTIFUL!
WHOSE DESIGN IS THIS?
IS THIS BILL BLASS?
IS THIS ALBERT NIPON?
TOO CONVENTIONAL.
I KNOW.
OSCAR DE LA RENTA.
I DESIGNED IT.
GET OUT OF HERE!
REALLY?
WOW!
YOU'RE
A PROFESSIONAL?
NAH.

THIS IS SENSATIONAL!
DO YOU HAVE MORE?
WAIT!

NO HARM, NO *
* YOU GOT TO BE
ALL MINE, ALL MINE *
* WOO, FOXY LADY
* FOXY
SO SAM TOLD YOU
I WAS HIS PARTNER?
NO WAY!
HE WAS JUST
PASSING THE BUCK.
OH...
SO...WHEN DO I
GET OUT OF HERE?
AS SOON AS MR. STONE
PAYS THE RANSOM.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
WHAT'S THE RANSOM?
IT--IT WAS $500,000.
THAT SHOULDN'T
BE A PROBLEM.
HE COMPLAINED.
HE COMPLAINED?
AND THEN WE
DROPPED OUR PRICE
TO $50,000.
YEAH?
HE DIDN'T PAY.
HE DIDN'T PAY?
SO NOW WHAT?
SO NOW WE'RE DROPPING
OUR PRICE AGAIN
TO $10,000.
DO I UNDERSTAND
THIS CORRECTLY?
I'M BEING
MARKED DOWN?
WHAT IS THIS,
THE BARGAIN BASEMENT?
I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED
BY K-MART.
OH, DON'T CRY,
BARBARA.
HEY,
CHECK IT OUT.
YOU SURE ARE PRETTY.
ALL RIGHT, STONE.
LET'S GO!
HEY, IS IT
SOMETHING I SAID?
ALTHOUGH IT'S
A CAPITAL CRIME,
THE ACCUSED IS
AN UPSTANDING MEMBER
OF THE COMMUNITY,
A RESPONSIBLE AND SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESSMAN,
AND HAS NEVER BEFORE
POSED A THREAT TO SOCIETY.
BAIL WILL BE GRANTED
AND SET AT, UM...
$700,000.
[BANG]
YOU WANT TO TRY
FOR A REDUCTION?
NO. LET'S GET
OUT OF HERE.
THAT FILTHY SLUG.
THAT SCREECHING WITCH.
THAT PASTY-FACED TROLL.
THE JUDGE?
MY WIFE. I GOT TO
GET HER BACK.
SANDY?
KENNY?
IT'S OVER.
SAM ISN'T GOING TO
PAY THE RANSOM.
I'M NO CRIMINAL.
I CAN'T EVEN
SELL RETAIL...
AND THAT'S LEGAL.
WE GOT TO GET PACKING
AND GET OUT.
I'VE GOT
SOME VERY INTERESTING
NEWS FOR YOU.
I AM THE NEW
RISING STAR
IN HIGH FASHION!
LET'S GET A GRIP
ON OURSELVES.
WE'RE GOING TO
MEXICO.
DOES THAT MEAN
WE LET BARBARA GO?
WE'RE NOT
TAKING HER WITH US.
I'VE ALREADY
LET HER GO.
WHAT?
YOU LET HER GO?
OH, MY GOD!
YOU LET HER RUN OUT?
YEAH!
OH, MY GOD!
SHE KNOWS
WHERE WE LIVE.
THE POLICE WILL
BE HERE ANY MINUTE!
NO. SHE REALLY
LIKES US NOW.
I SHOWED HER
MY GOWNS.
SHE LOVES THEM!
WE'RE ALL GOING
INTO BUSINESS
TOGETHER.
WE'LL OPEN
OUR FALL LINE
IN PARIS.
SHE REALLY,
TRULY LOVES ME!
SHE CAN
BE TRUSTED!
SHE'S CHANGED!
CHANGED?
DID YOU PERFORM
AN EXORCISM?
KEN, SHE LOST
NEARLY 20 POUNDS.
YOU HAD TO BE THERE.
IT WAS A SPECIAL MOMENT.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
I'M SURPRISED
THEY KNOCKED.
OH!
GOOD AFTERNOON.
I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU'VE SEEN
THIS MAN.
HE WAS SIGHTED
IN THE AREA
A FEW WEEKS AGO.
HE'S PSYCHOTIC
AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
HE'S KILLED
SIX PEOPLE.
I GOT TO GET
OUT OF HERE!
MY WIFE, SHE'S...
LATE FOR WORK.
DOESN'T LOOK
FAMILIAR.
KEEP THIS
AND GIVE US A CALL
IF YOU DO SEE HIM.
DON'T TRY
TO SUBDUE HIM.
HE'S
EXTREMELY VIOLENT.
HE LOOKS IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
OFFICER.
SANDY!
IT'S OK!
IT'S OK!
THEY'RE LOOKING
FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.
I'LL GET THE OTHER SUITCASE
FROM THE BASEMENT.
AAH!
HELLO?
HELLO?
ANYBODY HOME?
OH, HELLO.
ARE YOU A FRIEND
OF KEN AND SANDY'S?
YOU...
LOOK LIKE
MY MOTHER.
I HATE MY MOTHER.
OOH.
NO.
OOH.
YOU...
YOU LOOK JUST LIKE
MY FATHER.
I HATE MY FATHER!
AAH!
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
OH, HONEY,
DON'T TOUCH HIM!
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT?
IT'S THE BEDROOM
KILLER.
HE TOLD ME I LOOKED
LIKE HIS MOTHER.
HE HATES HIS MOTHER.
HE'S DEAD.
SO, IF I LOOK LIKE
HIS MOTHER,
AND YOU LOOK LIKE
HIS FATHER,
THIS IS WHAT OUR SON
WOULD LOOK LIKE.
PRETTY STRONG ARGUMENT
FOR BIRTH CONTROL.
WHAT DO
WE DO NOW?
BARBARA,
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
I GOT IT.
I TELL YOU, I'VE GOT IT!
LISTEN TO THIS.
SAM ARRIVES
ON A MOTORCYCLE
WEARING SHORTS.
NO SHOES. NO SHIRT. NOTHING.
MAYBE JUST A JOCKSTRAP.
THEN WE SEND HIM
ALL OVER TOWN
IN THE MIDDLE
OF A HOT, SUNNY DAY.
SAM BURNS EASILY.
HE'LL BE BRIGHT RED
IN NO TIME.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
THIS IS HAPPENING.
THEN HE COVERS HIMSELF
WITH HONEY
AND GOES
TO A BEE FARM.
THE BEES GO NUTS.
I DON'T THINK
SHE MEANS IT.
THEN WE WATCH WHILE
THEY STING HIM TO DEATH.
BARBARA, DON'T WE
WANT A PUNISHMENT
THAT WILL LAST?
MY GOD, HE MUST
HAVE BEEN SEEING
THIS WOMAN FOR YEARS.
CASTRATE HIM!
I WANT TO CASTRATE HIM.
WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER
IF WE STRUCK AT HIS CORE?
HIS REASON FOR LIVING?
WHAT WOULD THAT BE?
HIS TESTICLES.
WOULD YOU
KNOW WHAT SAM'S
TOTAL WORTH WOULD BE?
NOT JUST THE BIG STUFF.
THE LITTLE STUFF, TOO.
YEAH, I THINK SO.
GOOD.
I WANT YOU
TO WRITE IT DOWN
IN PLENTY OF DETAIL.
FIRE UP THE STOVE.
GET THE TOFU BURGERS.
WE'RE CALLING SAM.
MY TUX.
MY SILK TUX.
ET TU, ADOLPH?
ET TU?
[WHINING]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
HELLO?
HI, SAM.
OH, THANK GOD
IT'S YOU!
I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT YOUR LAST OFFER.
$10,000 IS FAIR
AND ACCEPTABLE.
SHE'S
IN BAD SHAPE, SAM.
WE'VE BEEN
TORTURING HER.
[SIZZLING]
AAH!
[SIZZLING]
AAH!
DON'T KILL HER!
DON'T KILL HER.
WE DISCOVERED
YOUR WIFE'S WORTH
MORE THAN 10,000.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WE'VE UPPED
THE RANSOM.
TO WHAT?
$2 MILLION.
$2 MILLION?
ARE YOU OUT
OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?
WHERE'D YOU GET
A FIGURE LIKE THAT?
YOU'D BE SURPRISED
AT THE QUALITY
OF INFORMATION
A LIT CIGARETTE
CAN PROVIDE.
[SIZZLING]
AAH!
WHAT ELSE?
SHH.
HE'S GOT RARE GEMS
IN A SAFE.
SAM, FORGIVE ME.
WHAT KIND OF GEMS?
HOW MANY?
I DON'T KNOW!
[SIZZLING]
AAH!
AAH!
[SIZZLING]
AAH!
FOUR FLAWLESS
ONE-CARAT DIAMONDS!
AARGH!
THE BITCH BLABBED!
APPARENTLY, YOU GOT
A MILLION TWO
BUILT UP
IN SAM'S SPORTSWEAR.
ANOTHER 350,000
IN YOUR PENSION PLAN.
GENERAL DYNAMICS
CLOSED AT 75 3/4 TODAY,
WHICH BRINGS
ANOTHER 175,000.
45,000
FOR THE EXCALIBUR.
NOW THERE'S THE FOUR
ONE-CARAT DIAMONDS IN THE SAFE.
YOU INHUMAN SLIME!
AFTER HIS RELEASE,
MR. STONE CONTINUED
TO DENY THE CHARGES.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY INSISTS
THERE'S OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE.
OVERWHELMING
EVIDENCE IS RIGHT.
WHAT MORE
DO THEY WANT?
HOW COULD THEY
LET HIM GO?
HELLO?
HELLO.
IT'S ME AGAIN.
I SEE SAM STONE'S
BEEN RELEASED.
IT'S NOT EASY
KEEPING A MAN
IN JAIL
WITH THESE
LIBERAL COURTS.
A MAN IS INNOCENT
UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
HOW DO YOU THINK
THESE COURTS WOULD FEEL
IF I GAVE THAT TAPE
TO THE MEDIA?
OH, MY...GOD.
YEAH. THEY'D
GO CRAZY FOR IT.
THEY LOVE TO SHOW
SICK STUFF LIKE THAT.
IT'D PROBABLY
BE ON NATIONAL TV
24 HOURS A DAY
FOR WEEKS.
I BET THAT'D
GET A REACTION.
PLEASE,
DON'T DO THAT!
WHERE'S YOUR
SENSE OF COMPASSION?
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO
BE SO VICIOUS?
VICIOUS? HAVE YOU
SEEN THAT TAPE?
COME ON,
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
IT'S JUST
A LONELY MAN
WHO WANTED
A LITTLE EXCITEMENT.
THAT KIND OF THING
HAPPENS EVERY DAY.
EVERYBODY DOES IT!
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
I DON'T BELIEVE
YOU SAID THAT.
MEN GET THE URGE.
WE'RE ONLY HUMAN!
YOU'RE SICK!
HELLO?
DON'T HANG UP
ON ME, PLEASE!
SO WHAT DID HE SAY?
SOMETHING STRANGE
IS HAPPENING HERE.
EITHER THE CHIEF IS
A COMPLETE MORON--
AND COMPLETE MORONS
ARE RARE--
OR HE'S PLAYING
GAMES WITH ME.
WE BETTER
FIND SOMEPLACE
WHERE WE CAN
LOOK AT THAT TAPE.
SHALL WE LOOK
IN SARA'S ROOM?
THIS IS PERFECT.
IT IS?
GIVE ME THE TAPE.
I'VE GOT 10 MINUTES
TO GET TO THE RADIO STATION.
OK.
EASY TO WEAR,
HARD TO RESIST.
OH!
OH!
OH! OH!
OH!
OHHH!
YOU IDIOT!
THIS ISN'T SAM!
AND HE ISN'T
KILLING HER.
THAT'S
MY HUSBAND!
BARBARA REALLY
WAS KIDNAPPED.
SHE REALLY
WAS KIDNAPPED!
PLEASE BELIEVE ME!
YOU GOT TO BE THERE!
THEY'RE COMING
THIS TIME FOR SURE!
I THINK THE DELI'S
USING A DIFFERENT MUSTARD.
LAST TIME,
IT WAS TANGIER--
I'M PLEADING FOR MY LIFE,
AND YOU'RE DISCUSSING
THE INCONSISTENCIES
OF LUNCH MEAT CONDIMENTS!
HAVEN'T YOU HEARD
A WORD I'VE SAID?
AAH!
SINCE THE HOUSE
IS IN YOUR WIFE'S NAME,
AS WELL AS HER OTHER
15 MILLION IN ASSETS,
YOU'RE NOT LEGALLY
ENTITLED TO IT
WHILE SHE'S ALIVE.
HOWEVER, YOU'VE GOT
A MILLION TWO
BUILT UP IN EQUITY
IN YOUR BUSINESS,
ANOTHER 350,000
IN YOUR PENSION PLAN.
YOU CAN USE THAT
AS COLLATERAL.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT!
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
SAM?
CAROL, WHERE THE HELL
HAVE YOU BEEN?
I'VE CALLED
A HUNDRED TIMES.
SAM, I MISS YOU.
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
I'M GOING CRAZY OVER
THIS KIDNAPPING THING,
AND THE COPS
WON'T HELP ME.
WHY?
THEY THINK I MADE UP
THE KIDNAPPING.
THEY WON'T EVEN SHOW UP
AT THE RANSOM DROP.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE
ALL BY YOURSELF?
THAT'S TERRIBLE.
HOW MUCH MONEY
IS IT?
$2.2 MILLION.
CASH?
OF COURSE.
HAVE YOU HEARD
OF A KIDNAPPER
TAKING A CHECK?
WHERE ARE YOU
GIVING THEM
THE MONEY?
I MEAN, I HOPE
IT ISN'T DANGEROUS.
I'VE GOT TO GO
TO A...A PHONE BOOTH
ON, UH,
HOPE STREET PLAZA.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
HELLO?
SAM...
IT'S SO NICE
TO HEAR YOUR VOICE.
HOW'S MUFFY?
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
THERE'S A GUN
POINTED AT MY HEAD,
AND THEY'RE MAKING ME
GIVE THE RANSOM INSTRUCTIONS
IN CASE THE POLICE
ARE LISTENING.
YOU MUST MAKE SURE
THERE ARE NO POLICE.
NOPE, NO COPS.
NOW, HAVE YOU GOT
ALL THE MONEY?
$2.2 MILLION,
IN UNMARKED,
NON-SEQUENTIAL BILLS,
YOU MISERABLE
SCUM-SUCKING PIG?
OH, HONEY,
I'M SO SORRY.
THEY MADE ME
SAY THAT.
YEAH, I GOT
ALL THE MONEY.
AND IT'S ALL THERE
IN THE BRIEFCASE?
YOU SCUMBAG!
YOU LOW-LIFE MOTHERFUCKER!
OH, DEAR,
THEY MADE ME
SAY THAT, TOO.
IT'S IN THE CASE, YEAH!
THE ROLEX, TOO?
THE GOLD ROLEX?
WHO SAID THE ROLEX?
THEY NEVER MENTIONED
THE ROLEX!
THEY WANT THE ROLEX
AND YOUR PINKIE RING!
THEY TORTURED ME
WITH CIGARS.
I HAD TO
TELL THEM EVERYTHING.
ALL RIGHT, WHAT ELSE?
THAT'S IT.
JUST WAIT THERE.
THE BAG, PLEASE.
COME ON!
GIVE ME THE BAG!
[SCREECHING TIRES]
FREEZE!
LOOK OUT!
PUT THE BAG DOWN,
AND PUT YOUR HANDS
ON YOUR HEAD!
BENDER!
THEY'RE HERE
TO HELP YOU.
I SAID NO POLICE.
DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS MEANS?
STAY BACK!
THEY TOUCH ME,
AND I GIVE
THE ORDER TO KILL!
LEAVE ME ALONE,
OR SHE'S A DEAD WOMAN!
YOU WANT HER BLOOD
ON YOUR HANDS?
WHAT DO
YOU THINK?
LET'S JUST
FOLLOW HIM HOME.
LET HIM GO.
WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
TELL HIM TO LET GO!
I'LL GIVE THE ORDER!
GO AHEAD.
GIVE THE ORDER.
LET GO!
SHE'S DEAD
IF HE DOESN'T!
ALL RIGHT!
DROP IT.
SHEESH.
PUNK.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
HELLO?
[RING]
HELLO?
THIS IS LIEUTENANT BENDER.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M TAKING MY MONEY!
YOU GOT YOUR MAN!
YOU MAY BE GUILTY
OF OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE,
AIDING AND ABETTING
A KNOWN FELON,
ACCOMPLICE TO KIDNAPPING,
AND POSSIBLY MURDER.
DROP THE GUN,
GIVE BACK THE BAG.
WE HAVE 150 OFFICERS,
75 CARS,
AND 2 HELICOPTERS.
HE WON'T GET AWAY.
THAT'S BETTER.
HERE!
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
TELL THEM TO LEAVE!
IF THEY DON'T GO,
SHE'S DEAD!
ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN,
CLEAR THE STREET, PLEASE.
YOU, TOO, MR. STONE.
BACK AWAY.
THAT'S BETTER.
YOU CAN GO NOW.
NOW DON'T FOLLOW ME!
UNDERSTAND?
WE UNDERSTAND.
DON'T MOVE.
WHO THE HELL
ARE YOU?
WHAT THE HELL
IS GOING ON?
I'M ROBBING YOU!
STOP HIM!
[GUNSHOT]
DID YOU
SHOOT AT ME?
NO, YOU MORON!
THERE'S POLICE
ALL OVER THE PLACE!
HUNDREDS OF THEM!
DO I LOOK THAT STUPID?
YES, YOU DO!
IF YOU SHOT AT ME,
WHERE'S YOUR GUN?
WELL, YOU'RE
TOO SHARP FOR ME!
I DON'T HAVE ONE!
[GUNSHOT]
THAT WAS
A BRAND-NEW TIRE.
GIVE ME YOUR KEYS.
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!
GIVE THE BAG TO BOZO,
DROP THE GUN,
AND PUT YOUR HANDS
IN THE AIR.
WHO SAID THAT?
THIS COULD
VERY WELL BE
THE STUPIDEST PERSON
ON THE FACE
OF THE EARTH.
PERHAPS WE
SHOULD SHOOT HIM.
IT'S THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
REALLY?
NO, WE'RE THE NATIONAL
RIFLE ASSOCIATION.
CHRIST.
I'M LEAVING NOW.
THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T
FOLLOW ME.
* HEY!
* OW!

FOLLOWING ME.
I SHOULD'VE KNOWN.
I KNEW THIS WOULDN'T WORK.
YOU CAN'T TRUST
THE POLICE!
OH, GOD!
OH, BOY!
HE'S CORNERED,
AND HE KNOWS IT.
I HOPE NOBODY
GETS HURT.
OH!
I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL!
I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL!
OH, MY GOD!
[HONK]
LOOK OUT!
[HONK]
WATCH IT!
LOOK OUT
BEHIND YOU!
HOLY GOD!
WELL, SOMEBODY HELP!
HE'LL DROWN!
THE WATER'S
WAY TOO COLD.
THERE'S RIP TIDES
OUT THERE.
I'VE SEEN SHARKS.
LOOK THERE!
THAT'S MONEY!
AAH!
GET IN THERE!
GO! COME ON!
$100 BILLS!
MY MONEY!
LET'S GET THE COAST GUARD
AND FISH HIM OUT!
I WONDER
IF IT'S REAL!
YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
THAT'S NOT
YOUR MONEY!
THAT'S MY MONEY!
STOP THEM!
AAH!
GET THE MONEY!
THE BEDROOM KILLER.
WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY?
THEY RECOVERED
A FEW THOUSAND.
THE REST WASHED AWAY.
HE SAID
IF ANYTHING WENT WRONG,
THEY'D KILL BARBARA.
THINGS COULDN'T HAVE GONE
MORE WRONG THAN THIS,
COULD THEY?
THAT MEANS SHE'S DEAD.
AH HA HA HA HA!
AH HA!
AH HA HA HA!
MRS. STONE!
I'LL BE DAMNED!
MRS. STONE?
YES?
WE'RE GLAD TO SEE
YOU'RE OK.
I'M SORRY TO
ASK YOU RIGHT NOW,
BUT WE NEED YOU TO
IDENTIFY THE BODY.
YES, THAT'S HIM.
OH, I COULD NEVER
FORGET THAT FACE.
WHAT HELL
HE PUT ME THROUGH.
YOU'RE SURE
HE WORKED ALONE?
OH, POSITIVE.
HE MENTIONED
HAVING A PARTNER.
HE WAS SCHIZOPHRENIC.
HE THOUGHT HE HAD PARTNERS.
WHERE'S SAM?
HE'S OVER THERE,
MRS. STONE.
WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME
FOR A MOMENT?
I'D JUST LIKE TO BE ALONE
WITH MY HUSBAND.
THANK YOU.
HELLO, SAM.
BARBARA.
UH...
YOU LOOK TERRIFIC.
YOU THINK SO?
YEAH, I MEAN...
YOU'RE SO THIN.
REALLY?
DOES IT SHOW?
YEAH, YEAH...
I MEAN,
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
OH, SAM.
OH, BARBARA.
HOPE MY MARRIAGE
IS LIKE THEIRS
AFTER 15 YEARS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
WE DOUBTED
STONE'S AFFECTION
FOR HIS WIFE.
YEAH, WE ALMOST
BLEW IT.
YOU WORK
THE LONG HOURS,
BUT IT ALL
SEEMS WORTH IT
WHEN YOU GET
MOMENTS LIKE THIS.
YEAH, I LOVE
A HAPPY ENDING.
NO! OH! OH!
BARBARA-A-A-A!
