Radio: Another rainy night in downtown Tacoma.

Radio: Another rainy night in downtown Tacoma.

Clearing in the early morning.

Light winds and cloudy skies continue through most of tomorrow

with rain on and off through most of the week.

Seasonably cool temperatures...

Hey-

All right, here you go. For you, sir.

- See you next week. - Later.

- Same time. - All right.

(phone ringing)

Hello, room service.

Room service.

(faint voice)

Did you say "Open UP"?

Did you say-- I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you.

I said I'm hungry.

(music box chiming)

Steak sandwich, rare,

strawberry Jello, orange juice, and a pot of coffee.

- Regular? - Yes.

That means cream and sugar.

Not yet, the cream.

(music stops)

Monique...

"Rouxs"?

Roux.

Silent

I'm from Paris...

Paris.

These days I'm from Seattle, and Vegas before that.

And Texas and...

on and on forever.

Oh.

The tip.

(door creaking)

Monique: Ahh.

(knife drops)

(Monique groans)

(sobbing)

Ms. Roux'?

Holy shit!

Hey!

God!

Shit!

Easy.

Fuck!

I can't believe this shit!

(Monique sobbing)

Ahh!

(Whimpers)

Been in Tacoma long?

Me'?

Forever.

It's cloudy here.

Not always.

Did I say always?

Just put your arms up.

That's it.

I'm fine.

It's only a cry for help.

There's a doctor on call. Okay.

(phone ringing)

No doctors.

Please.

Okay. I'll be right back.

Easy--'

What are you doing in this stupid place?

I forget.

In Vegas I was a dancer.

What brought you north?

The music stopped playing.

I'm a model, actually... in Seattle.

There's a lot of models over on Pacific Avenue.

Most of those girls ain't having too many pictures taken.

- I know that much. - You think I'm that kind?

Go fuck yourself!

(sobbing)

Listen, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that about you.

Hey...

look close.

What do you see'?

Check out my feet.

- I don't like feet. - No, no.

My shoes.

They're made in France.

See? Take a look.

When I first heard you talk,

I said to myself, "Hey, whoa.

Now here is a four-star woman,

in a three-- two-star hotel."

This is not the way.

Believe me, I know.

You're gonna come back'?

Just pick up the phone and call downstairs

and I'm right up here.

Okay?

I promise.

Okay?

Okay.

(voices on TV)

Leroy, what happens to you if you eat like a pig?

Hmm?

Somebody is going to have to bury me.

Give me your hands.

What happens to you when you eat Cheerios,

chocolate chips, and marshmallows?

What happens to your heart?

To your heart? Huh'?

It is...

going to...

attack.

That is right, stud.

Uh-huh.

Woman: You got our last notice in the mail?

Yes, certainly. I have received your urgent communication.

Your brother needs looking after.

Let me ask you this... Stacy?

- Mrs. Anderson. - What do you think it means when...

you write to me in capital letters?

- Excuse me'? - What do you think that means?

That's shouting!

That's shouting! Shouting! Shouting!

How do you expect me to respond

when you shout at me all the time?!

When you make me hate you'?!

That is no way to speak to Social Services, Mr. Rose.

Unless you demonstrate to the State

that you can look after your brother,

- it's our responsibility to... - J Crushing my balls

J Sucking my veins J

J Crushing my balls and sucking my veins... J

Mrs. Anderson: We've been to the house and seen your situation,

and unless your brother shows immediate--

Come on, just a few push-ups,

like you did with Mom.

I just need a small rest.

Just... on my feet.

My feet.

You know, there was this...

this TV show.

Yeah, "The Zoo Show."

And the star, Coco the gorilla,

she could talk by sign language.

And she understood the idea of death.

Oh, "Coco night...

no more bananas."

Come on. Let's go!

I want to drive the car again.

What about you'?

Leroy night. No more Fruit Loops,

television darkness...

no more beer, fatter and fatter like balloon,

Leroy goes "pop." Thousand pound funeral...

You should send me to foster care.

Never.

That's where they make all the ice cream.

No...

you've got it all wrong.

Rose: I'm 31.

31...

32...

33...

34...

35...

36...

37... Monique...

38...

Monique...

40...

41... Monique Roux.

(elevator bell dings)

Cougar, how you doing?

Hey, man.

Cougar? Hey.

Cougar?

Hey, man, Cougar, Cougar.

Cougar.

President Cougar.

Hey!

Fuck. I've got the money.

I've got the money!

I'm getting the money.

Come on.

Friday we total the tips. You'll be paid off.

(choking)

What's that?

That's the nut I'm gonna crush if this goes past Friday.

- I will be at this hotel. - Okay.

- I'm house security here now. - But where? Here'?

- Ow! That's good. - Here.

That's great. That's great.

Give me what you've got.

Does this mean that...

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

It's just a couple of dollars, that's all.

Hey, I'm happy to be part of the team.

Ow!

Before you start playing with yourself...

Oh...

man...

Hey-

Oh, God.

It's good to see your face.

That's a fancy jacket you've got on.

I got it in Vegas, among others.

How goes the late shift?

Great. Absolutely great. Another perfect day.

No more bell-hop.

I miss you around here, Del.

It was always temporary.

You're gonna leave me alone here with Billy and Bascomb?

Come on. Don't do that, man.

You think I want to die in a bell-hop's uniform'?

PA: Housekeeping, number 505.

Housekeeping, 505.

Do you know anybody who wants to buy a VCR?

Two weeks ago he's renting them, now they're for sale.

Real cheap.

Yesterday, scamming; today, stealing.

They disappear around the time I quit?

Around then.

- Yeah. - Yeah, like...

the day I quit?

Two weeks ago?

Hey... pin it on me.

Send me the bill. I work for Lenny lsh now.

You what?

I wipe my ass with money.

WOW!

Lenny lsh'?

Remember the poker game he had here last year?

Yeah. He's gonna have another one.

The Big lsh, his telescope ain't pointed right.

He's gonna have it here, the...

850,000 buy in.

L-m in it.

I've got the buy in.

I'm shilling for lsh.

He's staking me.

I told you... I moved up.

Have a drink. Change your luck.

Come in.

Sit down, please.

Mr. Rose,

we're all on our best behavior.

Our star status is two, not three.

If there's anything I can do to help, Mr. Stillwell...

Have you ever made up a room for yourself

without waiting for the maid service?

Copping the money for the room for myself...

when they pay cash'? No, never.

You haven't had sexual relations with any of our patrons, have you'?

Me'? No. I'm fine.

Really, I'm clean.

What about last Thursday?

Thursday was...

it was normal for Thursday.

Cougar: You arranged a party, didn't you'?

Three girls for two men?

One of them got his Rolex hooked. He almost blew to the cops.

Stillwell Hotel. Thieving hooker.

Bellboy named... Sonny.

(Sighs)

Okay

I'm gonna have to say yes, I did make that mistake.

But the men, they looked lonely.

L...

I paid them.

We're all up to some kind of shit.

But whatever was before,

fuck it.

Mr. Stillwell wants a clean game

under a clean roof.

Right, and that is the best policy.

It's very important that we get that star back.

You're on your last legs.

Last legs?

I'm on my last legs?

I've got legs up your ass!

What the fuck are you'?

I eat guys like you for lunch, fucker!

As far as you're concerned, I'm your fucking god!

Stillwell! What are you gonna do about it'?

(buzzing)

God, I can't do this.

I can't do this anymore.

(buzzing)

I cannot do this shit anymore.

(buzzer sounds again)

Yeah?

Man: Sonny, pick up. Olympia phone book.

806, Ms. Roux.

Monique: It's open.

Ah.

What's that?

It's... you wanted...

It's the phone book.

I didn't ask for any phone book.

For Olympia, we had one.

I rang down for stationery.

Stationery?

There's no stationery in this drawer.

Stationary is in this drawer.

Oh.

Fine.

I thought maybe you wanted me to telephone to Olympia for it.

So...

Would you open the window'?

Uh, sure.

(grunting with effort)

It's stuck.

I'll try again.

(gasps)

Do you like my fragrance?

I didn't say that.

No'?

No, I'm not saying anything.

If you rang down for a phone book, I'm...

saying whatever.

You're the guy with the whatever.

Look...

housekeeping after midnight, I'm it.

It's me. Maintenance and room service,

the whole shebang. We don't hold on to a...

huge staff, you know'?

The whole Russian army.

Sonny?

I'm sort of on my last legs around here.

I can feel your heart.

You can't feel anything.

Can you feel that?

- No. - What?

No!

I can't do this.

I can't.

Last legs!

Last legs.

(knocking)

Monique: Sonny?

(elevator bell dings)

- (fabric rips) - ( Monique moans)

(both moaning)

(Sighs)

(screams)

What'?

What the fuck'?!

What'?! What'?!

Don't! Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Shit!

What did I do'? Monique?

(groans)

Shit! Oh my God.

Fuck!

(door opens)

What's going on'? Did someone scream?

Forget it.

Senor, we're in here and there is no mouse.

But she's hollering that a mouse came up from the drain.

There is no mouse

nor rodent of any kind.

- Come on. - Hey...

What the hell was that screaming, Sonny?

Man, I'm screwed.

What the fuck did I do?

What did I do?

Do up your fly. Who was it'?

That little fox in 806?

Fix yourself. Come on, fix yourself.

Okay.

Get the fuck downstairs. I'll take care of her.

I decked her.

I fucking decked a guest.

Shit.

Stillwell's gonna fire me.

He's gonna fire my fucking ass.

Del: Calm down.

How will I take care of my brother?

How will I take care of my brother?

- What the fuck am I gonna do'? - Here's what you're gonna do.

Yeah?

- Do I have lipstick? - You're fine.

She was loud. You heard her, right'?

Shit.

Shit.

- Let's go. - It's okay?

She's quiet.

- Is this your room? - Boogie,

I'm gonna get Cougar to fix this shit.

No, no. Definitely not him.

You're not involved.

As far as he knows, this is my fuck-up.

Ah, Del...

- I don't know what to say. - Don't worry about it.

Go on. Let's get out of here. Okay?

Thanks.

Thanks.

- It never happened. - Okay.

It never happened.

Shit.

Piss... fuck... dirt...

motherfucker.

Just remember the winners.

May 17th, I bet a 1-7 quinella.

I am there 10 minutes,

I make 700 bucks.

It hailed that day.

Hail in a meadow...

hail as big as eggs.

The moose crossing the pasture in the morning...

looks like the president of Oregon.

And there was mist.

It was like a dream.

What's her face? What's her face?

Iran my tongue along her thigh in the back seat.

Sharon.

I can smell the pier and her cologne.

Come on.

Sonny: She came on to me, Del. She started it.

Fuck! I'm getting a hard on just thinking about her.

That connection we had, it had power.

The way she was looking at me...

Fuck!

I don't talk about love, not easily.

But the way she looked at me...

the way... there was some of that there.

- There was an element. - Love'?

And her too. Both of us.

- And then she screams. - Assault...

rape...

kidnapping

If our little honey says a few words, we're all gonna pop.

I can't go to jail.

Hmmm.

You're not there yet. Hey...

did you know that Cougar has a wife and children?

He won't whack little Frenchie unless we say so.

Not right away.

He'll have to do her eventually. Can't keep her in a pumpkin.

Whack who'?

She's Cougar's problem...

for the next few days, anyways.

Her?

Monique?

Oh man.

Del: Want to make a whole lot of money?

We could shut her up then. Pay her off.

She doesn't have any problems

that four or five grand would fail to relieve.

In fact, she said something to that effect.

That she would let it slide for four grand?

More like five.

You could make that much fast without scrambling too hard.

The hotel is a perfect place

to do retail cocaine.

We could let Cougar put her away.

- No, no, man. - Fuck no.

You could pay her and get change back.

Five for her--

I'll deliver,

you set up the transactions.

We would be like kings up and down the hallways.

Five for her leaves you with 65 grand.

10% of the total thing.

It's up to 70 grand that I'm waving in your face.

It's your break.

Wow! Let's deal coke. What are we waiting for'?

No, no. Let's not deal coke.

Let's rob that poker game.

(laughs)

- Rob Lenny lsh'? - 700 grand.

Rob Lenny lsh'?

There's no security at the game

because there's no cash at the game.

It's all been arranged. Someone holds the money.

Who's that?

You.

Me'?

You.

The safety deposit boxes.

Upon arrival,

each player deposits their buy in with you in the lobby.

At the game, they hand us chips.

14 GUYS"

50 grand each...

14 little boxes...

and no security at all,

but you...

also Bascomb.

But he and Billy go to Conrad's for lunch

every night at 2:00 a.m. You're alone by 2:15.

Listen...

customers' keys are numbered.

The only way we're gonna find out

whose key goes into what box

is having you on the inside,

finding that out for us.

I'm getting a terrific rush.

You want a rush'?

You want holy God'?

The game starts next Wednesday.

They'll all be in town by Monday. You want a beautiful hit?

By Tuesday you're sitting on 70 grand.

Minus Monique's five.

You find out all the rooms the players are staying in.

You get the right house keys for the right boxes.

You get them all lined up so you can open them

in less than two minutes.

I'll get the customer keys.

How?

Cougar moves at the little get-together.

Tuesday night they're all having cocktails,

all in the same room.

Do you mean with guns?

He takes the keys, ties them up,

sprays them with laughing gas.

I don't know.

Laughing gas.

You've got this in a plan. This isn't just some bullshit.

This isn't stealing VCRs and cases of booze

to keep your head above water.

Look, Del, lam not that kind of crook.

I'm strictly small time.

If you have some other way to pay off Frenchie,

tell me now 'cause I don't want to kill her.

While you're at it, tell me how much longer

you're gonna be Stillwell's ass wipe?

How much longer are you gonna push that cart

up and down those hallways?

How much longer are you gonna live with Leroy in that dump?

- You're still taking care of him'? - Yeah.

So'? Open your eyes.

Take the worst thing that's ever happened to you--

crazy chick freaks out, she'll put you in jail, maybe--

and make it the best thing that's ever happened to you.

$70,000.

Make it your ticket out.

I've got to tell you,

as your only friend...

I don't see big changes for you in my crystal ball.

(country music playing)

It burns.

It doesn't burn, it's baby shampoo...

you baby,

There you go.

It still bubbles in my eyeballs.

I'm going blind.

Don't forget your ears.

- Where's the bucket? - Just go under.

I can't swim.

It's burning.

It's okay. It's okay.

Pull the plug.

It's all over the floor!

Put a towel down!

Put a towel down.

I don't want to go down the drain.

Down the drain...

(crying)

(phone ringing)

Man: Room service.

Good evening, Mr. lsh.

I'll send Sonny right up with it.

Good night, sir.

(elevator bell rings)

Your dinner order, Mr. lsh.

Your dinner order, Mr. lsh.

Your fucking dinner order, Mr. lsh.

I don't want that.

- This isn't your order'? - Yes, but I'm feeling nauseous.

I changed my mind.

I can't sleep.

The stars are my friends.

- ( Stammering) - Do a hit.

(giggles)

I can do whatever I want.

This is what I want to do:

I want to get high.

I want to look through here

and touch the jewels

in God's sharp little teeth.

Look around me down there and I see

five billion pigs at a trough.

This used to be a three-star hotel.

This used to be a five-star country.

Take a peek.

Okay.

(gasps)

We're not in a good place.

But...

is there any other?

What is the worst thing

that you have ever done'?

Me? Uh...

I don't really know.

That means you haven't done it yet.

Umm...

I cheated...

I cheated at cards once.

And you made less money than you would have on a lucky day,

didn't you'?

Should I clear this?

Yeah, take it away.

(buzzing)

(buzzing continues)

I thought of something.

If I do this, what do I say to lsh'?

Feel free to use my name.

Me and Cougar are long gone.

Yeah?

Sonny...

this is a need-to-know operation.

On the night in question, I'll hand you this with 14 keys in it,

each slot labeled with the guy's name.

Mine is already there, courtesy of lsh.

That is brilliant.

At a certain point we all get together in a room,

or a place...

$700,000.

What are we going to tell the cops'?

We're not gonna know about an illegal card game.

It's never gonna be a police thing.

Gamblers don't squawk,

that's the beauty of it.

Uh...

I'm going to be deep in hiding.

I'm the one who has to run for the rest of his life.

Is Monique okay?

Yeah, she's fine.

She's been encouraged to expect some money from you.

I can keep an eye on her.

You can do any part of this.

We're not morons in this operation.

- She asked about you. - What did she ask?

She asked your favorite color, your pet peeves.

I don't know. She likes you.

So tell me...

how are you going to hide from Lenny lsh'?

With $315,000

lam a guy like Lenny lsh.

People hide from me.

I get darker, and darker, and darker

in my big car.

Don't be sucked in by littleness.

So...

are we partners?

Is it yes?

Yeah.

I'm in.

PA: Last bus for Las Vegas leaving from gate 5.

Last call to Vegas, gate 5.

J Who would it be'? J

J He'll never know J

J I'd always wonder why J

J Sarah never said... J

(phone ringing)

- May I help you please? - Monique: Sonny?

I have to see you. I have to see you right now.

- Is that you'? - Yes, it's me.

Please, can we meet?

- Where are you'? - I'm just at the corner,

by the taxi stand.

I want to see you.

I don't, uh...

Okay, just come through the basement door.

Just wait there, I'll meet you.

(music box chiming)

Looks like heaven.

Am I dead'?

It's Tacoma, USA.

The weather's weird.

I missed you.

What is your role here, huh'?

I came here for a job.

Del set it up.

I met him in Vegas.

Del brought you here?

He told me 10 free days at the Stillwell Hotel

and $1,000 worth of tips to be a hostess

in his friend's gambling tournament.

God!

Everybody works for Lenny lsh'?

I'm not really from Paris.

I'm from Montreal.

Montreal?

I should have told you.

And Del set another job.

Get the room service man to come upstairs...

and scream that it is a rape.

What'?

To set you up for one of his deals.

He's a big dreamer. He's in 2,000 dreams each minute.

(sighs in disgust)

Del?

Oh my God.

The other night...

I walked out in the rain.

I came back to the room and said...

I said, "Roux, it's raining.

Roux, it's the end."

So I tried cutting my wrists.

But I'm a coward, I waited till you were there.

Okay

for money I'll scream and framer the man who saved me.

Whatever you want!

Then he dumped me at the bus station.

A couple of bucks...

and a job.

Crying bitch.

Del paid you.

He paid you to fuck me'?

He paid me to scream.

Jesus Christ!

(sobbing)

I shouldn't have screamed the other night.

I'm sorry.

He's fucking with both of us.

Okay

Okay.

I'm going to sneak you into a room.

You hang out, you lay low...

watch TV.

- Okay. - Yeah...

'cause this time next week lam flush!

How?

Give me a few days and I will get us out of here forever.

Forever!

Paris'?

Yeah. Yeah.

Paris, Mars...

anywhere.

Yeah...

sure.

Today's the day.

Somebody's gonna get doublecrossed and it ain't gonna be me,

that's for sure. She set me up.

She set me up, so she could be false.

But she admits it, so she could be true.

She showed me that's true, that's real.

Calm down.

Fear, if you recognize it,

you make it your friend.

Here's Tony's. See Tony's?

It's full of burgers.

Keep on going straight.

There are people in wars,

guys crawling through mine fields

with machine guns blasting one inch over their heads.

This is what they're feeling.

You see the... look, the tiny house?

Leroy: The tiny house.

Yeah!

You've got this dick. If you can do this tonight,

you've got a dick.

You see that tiny door there?

That is the most important door.

Okay, I give you the satchel.

Where do you go'?

- Come on, where do you go'? - Home.

You can do it, brother. Okay?

I'm going to help you.

See you tonight.

If you can do this...

we can do anything.

Dick.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Just checking the call slips from the day shift.

0h yeah?

Sonny: I believe so, yeah.

Is there a reason you're checking call slips from the day shift?

I don't know. I don't have a reason for everything, Bascomb.

How long have we known each other?

- Known each other? - Yeah, when did I start'?

Seven years... eight.

- Seven years. - Eight years.

(Silent)

(grunting)

Good evening, Mr. lsh.

- Good evening, Mr. lsh. - Good evening, Mr. lsh.

lsh: Box 10-01.

Hit the button.

(buzzing)

Sonny: Box 10-01, sir.

Shh!

(distant laughter)

What did you tell lsh? Does lsh know you're here?

Nobody knows I'm here.

Somebody's out there. Come on.

Lock the door. Lock the door.

Okay?

(water bubbles)

Five card stud is my game.

Why don't you tell me what's going on'?

Okay.

In two hours, me, Dell and Cougar

are going to rob the poker tournament.

And this ass wipe bell-hop

is not going to get screwed out of his share.

What share'?

$70,000.

It's a seven...

and four zeros.

It's more than enough for a new life.

Tell me... tell me about Paris.

Right now it's cold.

People walk fast in big coats.

And then the spring.

You stroll in the parks,

you look at every window of the shops,

and you're tired.

You sit outdoors in a cafe,

and you fall in love with everybody that walks by.

I love that.

I love that in the spring, especially in the spring.

Drinking Beaujolais,

waiting all day long for the shot of the Eiffel Tower.

Then "boom"

comes over us...

soft and cool.

And we're drunk.

(Asian pop music playing)

Okay.

You can do it, I know you can do it.

I know you can do it. I know you can do it.

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

Okay.

Now...

(applause)

I won't be saying much through this, but thank you.

Maybe I have seen all I should see in this life,

this vale of tears.

I want to make a toast to my good friend Peter Stillwell.

Always a pleasure.

He'll be our host during our gathering tomorrow.

Stillwell: Gentlemen, ladies, our enterprise is not sanctioned.

We're merely... overlooked.

2:30 we're gonna be coming out of those elevators.

I want the keys lined up and ready.

If there is any problem, you call up here.

Hey, hey.

Did you get it'? The laughing gas?

Stillwell: If you have any questions at all,

feel free to ask the head of our security

Mr. Jack Cougar.

(applause)

Gentlemen, thank you.

Not to impose, but...

I thought we might keep your safety box keys

to avoid any weird trouble during the game,

the kind where a person gets all his trees cut down

and decides to boogie on the tab.

Is there anybody here who doesn't have the key on him'?

Woman: You want our keys?

(overlapping voices)

I guess we'll have to do it another way.

(clock whirring)

Del's voice: Bascomb and Billy go to lunch at Conrad's

every night at 2:00.

You're alone by 2:15.

The purple Maserati... you want to park it'?

I've got no time for Maseratis. You do it!

No!

I'll park it.

Go with Bascomb when he goes to lunch.

- Going to Conrad's, right'? - No.

I changed my diet.

Why don't you guys just take a break?

See if there's a late movie on your little tube out in your hut.

I'm not walking out there. It's too chilly.

(car engine sputtering)

(car starts)

(speaking French)

Three, six, nine.

Sonny's voice: Please, both of you, go!

(speaking French)

Billy: Double!

Monique: "T'was brillig,

and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble

in the wabe..."

Bascomb and Billy are still here.

Del: We've got 20 people locked in the john up here.

It's happening. Deal with it. I'm coming down in five minutes.

Want a smoke'?

Had any good wines lately?

Yogurt! Yogurt! Yogurt! Yogurt!

Don't you realize that the slimy, healthy goo

is ruining our country, guys?!

God!

(buzzing)

Okay

Okay, here we go.

202.

908?

314.

- Get out of there. - You get out of here, man.

What are you doing?

I can't help it!

(elevator bell dings)

Hand those keys to Sonny.

Move! Come on!

Ahh!

- He knocked my arm! - Jesus!

Should we try every key in every box'?!

Start trying.

Sonny: 40 fucking boxes!

Jesus Christ! I don't know what key goes in what box!

Bascomb, get in there, sort it out and open those fucking boxes!

- What is he doing here? - Billy: No, no.

Nothing, I do nothing.

Don't shut that door!

I'm keeping my share.

First, arrange the keys. Second, open the boxes.

Third, remove the money!

- Bascomb, shut that door! - What do you want me to do first?

Go! Open the boxes. We're running late.

I know you, man.

You are all sailing to the edge of the world like empty ships.

He's just here, talking.

Conversing.

End of conversation.

Go! Go!

Go!

My hands are wet.

Switch them.

Who locked this?

- There's a remote control. - Cougar: Find it.

Bulletproof, huh'?

Where's that fucking thing? It's supposed to be in this desk!

- Someone could have come. - I hope to God they do.

- You already shot one guy. - I'll shoot him again if he wants.

- Fucking remote! - Switch with me.

Del: It's not here!

Bascomb, move your ass!

See what he's doing?

He's stealing from us.

I'm keeping my share.

Rose?

Sonny?

Just slide the cash

through the slot.

- It won't fit. - Take it out of the bag,

- you fucking idiot! - This is my raid.

- I'm taking it. - Where's the button to this lock'?!

I don't know.

(screaming)

(police sirens wailing)

Snuff him! He's got to go.

Finish him, Sonny! He knows it's you!

(screams)

We're walking out, man.

- This is a fuck up! - Come on, we'll fix it.

Ah... Rose.

(sirens approaching)

(buzzing)

(sirens approaching)

- Shit! - ( tires squealing)

Go.

Go! Go!

(panting)

Monique, get to the elevator right now.

I'm sending up a bag. Don't mess with it. Don't open it.

- All right'? - Okay.

Fuck!

(elevator bell dings)

You know how much was in those cash boxes?

I didn't see anything.

They wore masks.

- Sorry I can't help you. - Somebody...

locked 19 people in a bathroom upstairs,

cleared out 14 safety deposit boxes downstairs.

No losses have been reported because of the vastness

of this illegal game they had planned.

So who was inside?

Bascomb and the others were talking,

but I couldn't hear.

And then they shot him.

That hotel is like a sinking ship

sailing to the edge of the earth.

Just a real twisted life. Please believe me.

I have learned my lesson about hotels.

Garret Gilmore had burger patties and eggs

just before they shot him.

You talk, they shoot you.

Double murder with aggravation in the course of a felony

and on and on. Everybody in this thing will hang.

See, I was on the floor.

I was on the floor.

I'm sorry, but I was on the floor.

Counting money?

Hiding, ducking, they were shooting.

John Spenkelink just had cigarettes and java, boys.

Electrified in Florida.

Do you know about Steve Morin?

He was saved in Jesus after this young woman he kidnapped

preached to him for a while.

The three before her, he killed them.

He had unleavened bread for his last meal.

Arthur Lee Jones, Alabama, double murder...

the chair.

Pink salmon, cole slaw,

candied yams, chilled peaches...

and grape drink.

I've got to get out of this town.

Shit.

Monique: Sonny?

What did you come for'?

To see if you were there, so I waited since 6:00 a.m.

Uh, south Roth Street, corner of lverson.

This bag here, I never opened it.

Okay, well you're here and that's it.

It was all worth it.

Come on. Close the door.

Sonny: You did it, bro'.

Leroy: I brought the money home.

Fuck, there's no beer.

(making gunshot noises)

A boat...

amphibious.

Leroy...

this is Monique.

She's gonna be like... your mom.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Remember how it was with Mom'?

Huh?

(giggling)

Start counting.

Count it.

All together there should be 700 grand, seven and five zeros.

Oh my God.

We're on our way.

What'?

We've got to put this back.

They're gonna kill me.

Fuck.

Let me help you.

It's okay. It's wonderful. It's okay.

Everything accidentally just went wrong.

But this went right.

It's like 3/4 of a million, it's like a dream.

A dream between you and me,

and we're both happy.

Rose...

Who got killed, Sonny?

Billy and Bascomb.

My friends.

Okay.

We sit on this a while,

just try to lead a normal life.

Just for a couple of months.

And umm...

we'll get a couple of passports for me

and Leroy.

We'll get some tickets for Paris.

Yeah.

All real quiet.

And we'll contact some real estate agents.

Okay?

They have things like that there?

Sure they do. Sure.

Just try to lead a normal life.

Just try to lead a normal life.

(phone ringing)

(phone continues ringing)

Hello?

Del: That'd better be you.

Hey, Del? Listen, we can straighten everything out.

Everything is functional, right? I mean--

Nobody is gonna want to identify Leroy's fat fucking corpse

is what. It's gonna be grotesque.

They're gonna have to bury your brother in a piano case.

No. Don't be like that.

I say we could trust you. Cougar wants to hurt somebody.

Bring the money to that place we talked that day.

Remember?

The old Cadillac... the trunk's sprung.

Drop the money in, close it, and go away.

How much money?

Monique's being a real bitch about it.

She wants your whole share.

What could I say, Sonny?

It's that or she yells, man.

(rock music playing)

(music stops)

(music resumes)

(music stops)

(music resumes)

(music stops)

- What are you doing? - Cleaning the money.

Cougar and Del got in touch.

They want it all. My share too.

If these guys don't get their money, I'm dead.

This money is their only hope on earth.

You know, being killed...

it's like Bascomb-- his eyeballs...

the pupils just went out.

It was like somebody poured mud in there.

I told him... l told him...

I tried to get him...

I--

I...

I told him to go to Conrad's.

He and Billy usually go to Conrad's.

I killed Bascomb.

I finished him off

'cause I wanted all of the money.

I wanted all of the money and a girl and a happily-ever-after.

And I should have it.

I should have it because I crawled...

into an alien monster dimension to get it.

Fuck!

Let's run.

We'll go somewhere. What about Iceland?

Iceland?

Do you think it would be over if we went to Iceland?

Eh?

Do you think I'll be less dead if Cougar killed me in Iceland?

I don't even know where Iceland is.

Paris is even more fun than that.

Ahh.

All right, listen.

They don't expect me till 11:00 tonight.

I could show up barely after dark before they get to the drop.

I'd just keep my 70. They wouldn't come after me for that.

Then we'll split.

We can go to Paris.

Montreal, at least.

Drive up to Vancouver, drive across Canada.

There's been a mistake made here.

Am I a killer?

Are you a whore?

Leroy?

We're going on a trip.

Let's pack.

Sonny: All right. I'll be right back.

Bell-hop?

It's not all there.

It's not all here?

Ohh...

I just want my original...

10 percent.

That won't work. Remember, there's a third party.

- A loose goose. - Monique.

Cougar: Actually, she's pretty tight,

and she tastes more like a tuna than a goose.

- Del: Will you shut up, please? - I like pussy.

Look, I realize we're pals,

and I hate to cut you out, but if we don't pay Monique,

she turns you in. We have an hysterical

nymphomaniac on our hands.

On our hands.

Bullshit!

She's been with me since the start of this!

Since the first fucking day!

You know that?

Why couldn't we stick to the fucking plan?

What the fuck is wrong with us'? Oh, right. Okay.

Yeah. Sure. I'll take nothing.

Nothing. Sure. No problem.

Nothing!

Why'? Because I'm such a fucking asshole?

Fuck him. We'll leave him with nothing.

He wouldn't know. Nothing!

Nothing!

Nothing!

Why can't we be straight?

Why can't we be honest?

Why can't we be dead'?

(gunshot)

Do you like my pussy?

How does it taste'?

Ahhh!

Monique: Get him!

You want to fuck me'?

Huh?

Okay!

Just a friendly fuck!

Like in a fucking poker game, right'?

Like, "Don't be sucked in by littleness"?

Is this little?

This is not little!

You hear me'?

Give me the fucking bag!

Give him the bag!

Just give me the fucking bag!

Give me the fucking bag.

(car door creaks)

- ( gunshot) - Ahhh!

Give me the gun.

Come on.

TV: Years ago in 1981, the streets overflowed...

There's a man here.

A man?

Sonny: Oh God.

First of all,

if there is any way at all

that I could be of help, just ask me anything.

Cougar and Del are the ones that you want.

They walked out of the elevator and started shooting everybody.

It's them that you want to discuss this with.

You've got it all wrong.

There's no money here.

It's them that you have--

No!

Hey-

- ( objects falling) - ( car door shuts)

(footsteps approaching)

(door squeaks opens)

So, going somewhere?

Paris.

Ahh!

(gasping)

You know Mother Teresa?

Who?

Mother who'?

(coughing)

Man: You fuck with us'? You wanna be a big man?

Tell us where the fucking money is.

Piece of shit.

The money!

Tell us where the money is.

(Sonny screams)

Mother Teresa says,

"In order to achieve a little bit of humility,

it takes a great deal of humiliation."

Okay! okay!

It's right there.

All you had to do was ask.

It's right there. Ouch!

lsh: Sonny...

you know what I discover when I look out at the stars'?

How small we are...

and brief.

I betrayed Stillwell,

arranged to have our own poker game ripped off.

What'?

Del and Cougar would keep 10%, give me the rest.

They proceeded to betray me.

Meanwhile, you were turning all that around.

But now...

the storm is over,

and this, I hope,

is the money, brought by the wind...

right at my feet.

We kept it for you.

Do I need to count it'?

No.

Give it to him.

That's the 10%.

lsh: Well...

let's get things wrapped up here.

Then we're off to rescue poor Peter Stillwell.

I'll lend him the money to pay back the victims

of this unforgivable crime.

In return,

he'll give me a controlling interest in his hotel.

We are going to get back that star...

if I have to pluck it from the heavens.

Sonny...

you're a bell-hop.

You get a bell-hop's cut.

Man: Are you getting soft on me, boss'?

First Commandment for hoteliers, Michael...

"Thou shall not murder the staff."

(car engine starts)

(door shuts)

(music box chiming)

(sobbing)

Ahh...

(rain stops)

The rain stopped.

How long till...

we get to where the toys live?

Oh, man.

It's along way.

Long, long Way-

Is it...

outer space?

It's mostly through this incredible galaxy that's--

...that's actually beyond outer space.

What do we eat?

Mist, it's really--

when you reach out to this galaxy,

and it's all mist.

But it's really candy.

So anytime you want,

you just reach out and eat the candy.

Mist and music go by.

When you get to the end,

there are these towers that go right up to the toys.

Not "toy" toys, but...

real toys, real music.

And everything is made out of real gold,

and real jewels.

And that...

those candy things aren't just decorations

that break. They're real.

They're real.

Real.

(making blasting-off noise)
