So here's the deal. We are in the garden, right? And everything is great.

And there's this tree, okay? And the man says, oops, see that tree?

You don't eat the fruit of that tree. That apple, you do not eat. So he goes

inside, you know, names some animals. I don't know, maybe takes a dump. Anyway,

what does she do? What does she do?

She eats the apple.

I can't believe what I'm seeing. He says, don't eat it, she eats it.

Unbelievable. I tell you, man, since then, you know, men, women, I don't

it's all going wrong.

So inviting, so exciting.

Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony.

A tender melody.

Pulling me closer, closer to your heart.

Then suddenly...

That's awesome!

Miserable marriage.

Wedding canceled.

Remarried. Divorced again.

Ah, irreconcilable sexual disharmony.

Dysfunctional marriage.

Not like they used to be. Yeah?

Well, things are changing up here as well, okay? I'm getting pressure from

above, if you know what I mean. For results.

For men and women to be bonded in eternal bliss.

In the meantime, I've been instructed to introduce new incentive schemes for our

leading operatives.

Leading operatives, huh?

That's you.

Skip the flattery, Gabriel. Where's the beef?

It's a hard case to crack.

But I have full confidence that you can do it. If you don't, you don't come

back.

What? No way.

That's the new incentive scheme.

Your mission is to unite man and woman. Blah, blah, blah, blah, okay?

When you're done, you come back.

If you fail, stay down here forever.

You are not serious.

Liberatum money.

It's out of my hands.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

secret daughter of Marlon Monroe and John F. Kennedy, right?

I mean, that's why Marlon was murdered.

So, the young girl grows up in an orphanage, unaware of her incredible

parentage. Years go by.

She's beautiful.

She's smart.

She's successful, okay?

Then what?

Well, then...

Then she gets sent to London as U .S. Ambassador.

Where she discovers who she is and also unravels the secret of the Nazi gold

hidden underneath the embassy.

Yeah.

Kind of obvious, Robert.

Of course it's obvious, guys. It's a trash novel.

You buy it in the airport. You take it on holiday.

Nice to see you down here.

I'd love to stand and talk, but, um, you know how things are.

Nice trick, Celine.

Want to try your luck?

With a gun?

With a fruit.

I don't have time for games.

If you're afraid, Elliot, why don't you just say so?

Celine, last night we discussed a certain proposal.

And I said no, because you cheat, Elliot.

Okay, so I'm flirtatious.

It's in my nature.

But Selene, I want you to think again. Do you have any idea how difficult it is

for a woman to find a good husband in this town?

Let alone a good dentist.

Selene?

Yeah?

Robots.

You're trying to tell us that we're going to be replaced by robots.

That robots are going to get down on their little robot hands and knees and

clean the dust out of every corner of every office in this building.

I think not, Mr. Stanton.

Well, at least the robot won't spend its time writing a trash novel.

Not even a very good trash novel, as I understand it.

Oh, I see. This is personal.

This has nothing to do with me, Robert.

This comes right from the top.

From Mr. Neville himself.

Well, then perhaps it's time I spoke to this man.

It's too late.

You're fired.

You ready?

Mm -hmm.

Now, if you move, the offer's canceled.

Okay. Mm -hmm.

Wait, Celine. Don't speak.

Do you think this is wise?

Picks me off.

the doctor.

It would be a pleasure, madam.

What are you doing here this time of day?

Well,

answer me.

Lily, I got fired.

They replaced me with a robot.

Yeah, well, I know how they feel.

Look.

I've been meaning to tell you this for a while now, and it seems like as good a

time as any.

Robert, I'm leaving you.

You're leaving? What are you talking about? His name is Ryan.

He teaches aerobics.

We're in love.

We're moving to Miami.

Really? How can you do this to me at a time like this? I want a man, not a

dreamer. I don't know what to say.

We could talk about this.

I'll get another job. We'll start everything out.

Sorry.

But as of tonight, you're going home alone.

Fired. Kinda obvious, Robert.

Aerobics. We're in love.

We're moving to Miami.

Mr. Robert Lewis.

Yeah, that's me.

My name is Jackson.

This is my associate, Ms. O 'Reilly.

And we are from the firm with fair eviction and collection agency.

Now, I have a list of certain items that we are empowered to collect on the

federal and state law in lieu of unpaid debts.

And furthermore, we are contracted to serve upon you notice of eviction from

these here premises of Fort Worth.

I beg your pardon?

We can do this with violence or without. It's up to you.

The client pays our medical bills, but not yours.

Well... Oh, without, please.

All right.

I believe this.

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a good husband in this town?

Or a good dentist, come to that.

Playing this sort of game, you have disgraced yourself once again.

Well, you caught him through the frontal lobe, so apparently he'll live.

But he'll never practice orthodontics again, that's for sure.

My main fear in all this is that you're going to end up like your mother, who

long ago found her own natural level in society.

That is to say, she scuttles along the bottom.

Her biggest problem was marrying a man like you.

A mistake I've taken great care to avoid.

You are going to go to work, my girl.

What?

You've spent a quarter of a century watching time go by.

But for tomorrow, you are going to work here out of my supervision.

You're going to learn the essence of business, about money and how it flows

relentlessly back towards he who owns it.

How to generate a profit from a loss, a loss from a profit. You are going to

work.

Now, this may not strike you as very palatable.

It may make you want to vomit.

But I will assure you, you're used to the taste.

And pretty soon you'll get it. booting it down and asking for more like all the

other kids.

I mean, it's nothing to be ashamed of without access to a proper education.

up! I was just trying to help. Yeah, well, I don't need any help.

You can see them again.

In the head this time, I'll count to five. Shut up!

Hey, go ahead.

Drive.

Will you just drive?

I can't.

What? I don't know how.

You don't know how to drive?

No, I never learned. Well, why not? Because I didn't need to.

Well, you do know.

This one makes it go faster, that one slower.

This is forwards, that's backwards. The rest you can pick up as we go along.

Never mind that. Just drive more carefully.

He cut in on me.

Mirror, signal, maneuver.

You say nothing, okay?

Afternoon, ma 'am.

Afternoon, sir. My name's Walt.

I'm here to help you in any way I can during your visit to us, be it short or

long, and whether it is purely for refueling purposes or for the use of our

extensive washroom and retail facility.

This is a gas station, Walt. It sure is, sir. Well, then fill it up with gas and

pop the crowd.

Guy was just doing his job.

He was just trying to be helpful.

You're in a lot of trouble, you know.

My father's going to have you killed.

You realize that?

Tortured first, naturally.

Then he's going to have you killed.

And what if I let you go?

I don't know. What do you think?

Think he's just going to forgive you?

Why would I ask him to forgive me?

Your father treated me like a piece of shit.

Like I was nobody.

Just because I was a cleaner, like I was disposable.

Well, that's the take for it, sir.

Thank you, Walt.

That's for you, Walt.

You're a man, Walt.

Not a slave.

Not a machine.

Don't let anyone ever treat you otherwise Go on

It's

empty

Now, let's get this clear.

I'm not going to hurt you, but I am the kidnapper. And you are the... The

victim.

And that's the way it is.

It's okay. I've been through this before.

Kidnapped before?

Yeah, I was 12.

God, that's terrible. It was a long time ago.

So... So how am I doing?

In the kidnap?

Yeah.

So far, you're not doing too bad.

Thank you.

Anyway, I'm just tying you up so you can't escape in the night. I know that.

Because, of course, you would.

Are you going to try to have sex with me?

No.

Isn't that what you brought me up here for?

No, it's not.

It didn't even cross your mind?

No.

Well, no.

Do you have a problem with sex?

No. Oh, so you're just frightened of it.

No. I'm nervous then.

Look, I'm not nervous.

Okay, then calm down.

I'm perfectly calm. I'm just trying to explain to you that there's no sexual

motive for my actions.

Glad we got that cleared up.

So what did they do next?

They put a needle in my arm and took a pint of blood and sent it to my father.

Next week they did the same and the same the next week until he paid up.

He waited six weeks.

That's what happens to the victim.

Enjoying the book?

No. What's it about?

It's a romance.

This girl meets this guy. We fall in love.

Sports it.

I'm writing a novel myself.

A lot of people say that, but in my case it's true. I'm not interested.

In you or your novel or any other pathetic ambition you have to change

miserable, mundane existence.

Do you want some exercise?

No. You can't say no. It's not part of the arrangement. I want to read my book.

You just said it was bullshit. It doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it. You

said you weren't. A girl can change her mind, can't she?

She heard his breathing become shallow and a flicker of a smile chased across

her lips as she meditated on the power she now held over him.

Are you sure you want to catch that flight?

She has.

Do you think they're in love yet?

No.

If they are in love, we could go home.

I hate it down here.

I hate the air.

And I hate the food.

And I hate the plumbing.

Unable to stop.

I ache all over.

This indeed was perfect love. I sweat in the heat and I ache in the cold.

Why can't we face some place decent?

Budget doesn't cover that.

Exactly.

Why not?

You know those mysterious ways you keep hearing about Jackson?

Well, this is one of them.

I remember the good old days.

All you had to do was introduce a man or a woman.

Nature did the rest. She gasped with surprise and delight.

It doesn't work like that anymore.

While a frisbee erupted between her feathers, she sensed the firm

pressure of a swirling flash.

It's all gone to shit.

Sure has.

In the hidden recess of her pelvis, their bodies fused into one writhing

torrid, torrid sexual...

You could eat the vegetables.

They're on the same plate.

So?

I'm not going to eat this.

Do you eat fish and poultry?

Yes. But not red meat? No.

Or eggs, unless I know they're free -range.

Well, then why didn't you tell me you don't like meat? Because you didn't ask.

And as a matter of fact, I do like meat. I just don't eat it. Moral reasons, if

you must know. And if you had taken the time to acquire... Why is it such a pain

to be with? Because you've tied me to a chair all night.

Because I am the victim.

And you are the kidnapper, apparently.

Meaning exactly what?

Kidnap for beginners.

Chapter one.

Have you even asked for a ransom yet?

until I tell you.

Hello, Mr. Neville.

It's me.

Now, I want my... Me.

The kidnapper.

Right. Now, what I want... It's not like that.

That's unfair. Now, I would... What are you doing?

You know, what are you doing?

I'm negotiating with your father. Did you get very far? Well, he kept

interrupting. Right. He wouldn't let me finish.

Remember what they didn't teach you at Harvard Business School, okay?

I didn't go to Harvard Business School. It's a figure of speech, Robert.

Oh.

Sorry.

Negotiation is weakness.

You are the kidnapper. You demand and he complies.

You go in hard and you go in fast.

Hard and fast.

Right.

I'm you. You grasp that?

Okay. Pretend it's ringing you. Psych yourself up.

Go to your dark side.

Okay. He answers.

All right, you motherfucker. I've got your daughter here and I'm going to send

her back in pieces if I don't get what I want. You hear me?

I'm going to pull her fingers out with pliers and then I'm going to fry them up

for breakfast. You understand?

And so on and so on like that, okay?

for no longer than 30 seconds.

What?

Hello there, Mr. Neville.

Right,

you asshole, I've got your daughter here, and I'm going to cut her up and

her home to you in boxes!

Small boxes!

Right, Doctor, I've got your arsehole here, and I'm gonna send a - Right!

Right!

No, I can't speak to anyone, I need to speak to him! Hello?

Yeah, I can hold.

Right, listen you arsehole, I've got your daughter here, and I'm gonna send

back in pieces unless - Oh, I'm sorry, madam.

No, I must have dialed the wrong number.

No, I haven't got your daughter here. I have someone else's.

No, we're not married.

Yes, I've read the same thing. It's very hard to find suitable young men these

days.

Well, I'm sure your daughter's very nice. In principle, I've got no

to meetings.

What is the problem?

We've done this kind of work before.

We do everything.

Eviction and debt collection are our daily bread, but personal retrieval,

hunting, you name it, we do it.

How much?

Our fee for the recovery of your daughter is $100 ,000.

That's a lot of money.

$5 ,000 advance.

The rest of cash on delivery, no daughter, no dope.

Naturally, we'd operate on a scale.

whereby if we only bring back part of your daughter, we only get part of the

money. That's enough data.

No, I mean, if he's cut her ears off, we can't find him, we'll knock a couple

thousand off the tariff.

More for Lynn, obviously.

Data.

Sorry. Mr. Neville, I don't think you need to worry.

My partner is simply envisaging a worst -case scenario.

What about the kidnapper?

You want him, too?

That's extra.

What if he gets in the way?

We'll deal with that situation. if it arises.

What if I want him to get in the way?

Let us speak plainly, Mr. Neville.

You won't wish you'd kill him.

$200 ,000.

Including expenses?

Including all expenses, except medical costs, for which you accept full and

unlimited responsibility. Only for the duration of the contract?

Naturally. It's a deal.

Good afternoon.

Hi.

I'm Todd Johnson.

I live up the hill.

That's nice.

I see most things from up there.

Saw you arrive.

Big car.

Middle of the night.

Right. Wondered, who's that?

That's a natural question.

So I have feelings.

Felix. Felix is my friend.

He hasn't been the same since the war.

Of course.

I asked him, I said, Felix, tell me, are they good or are they evil?

One bark for good, two for evil. Felix is a dog.

Do you think that I would talk to a dog?

Do you think that I would ask a dog whether or not you're good or evil?

What do you think I am?

Some kind of a...

Crazy backwards lunatic with a barn full of human skulls and a scythe that I

sharpen every day in readiness for Armageddon? No, no, I'm sure you're just

regular kind of guy. Right, I'm regular. I am a regular man.

I was... That's not the point. The point is, who are you?

Who are you?

Well, I'm... We're newlyweds.

Are you coming back to bed soon, darling?

This is Mr. Johnson, dear.

Hello.

Pleased to meet you, ma 'am. You can call me Lucille.

My pleasure, Lucille.

You're not from the newspapers, are you?

No, I live up the hill.

Oh, good.

But you can't tell the newspapers we're here. They never leave us alone on

account of it, gee.

Ritchie? You recognize Ritchie, don't you?

Ritchie Vanderloh?

Six gold albums, three platinum, 14 consecutive top ten singles, largest

artist worldwide for the last 12 months.

Ritchie Vanderloh!

You have got to understand, ma 'am, I watch mainly the biblical channels.

It's okay.

We were married in secret, in a castle in Scotland.

That's in England.

New Paris?

Paris.

Right.

It was so romantic.

We stayed there for our honeymoon, but it wasn't long enough, so we came here

for the sake of a little privacy.

I see.

Would you like to come in, Mr. Johnson?

No, I better be on my way. I have to feed Felix.

Okay.

Well, it was a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Johnson.

See you around.

Catch you later then, Mr. Johnson.

Take care, Richie.

Thanks. It?

The ransom note.

Well, anonymous.

Yeah.

Robert, my father knows who you are.

Oh, I never thought of that.

You're the worst kidnapper I've ever met.

Oh, and that's all I am to you, isn't it? The latest kidnapper. A lifestyle

accessory. And if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, because you can always

another one.

Quit being so melodramatic.

Well, I'm trying to do my best here under really difficult circumstances.

It's not made any easier by you criticizing everything I do.

How much are you asking for?

Half a million.

Dollars? Yes.

U .S. dollars.

Is there a problem? Yes, Robert. Half a million dollars is not a lot of money

for a woman like me.

I didn't mean it as a reflection of you as an individual.

If word got out that I was liberated for half a million dollars, I could never

show my face in polite society again.

Diamonds have no value except that which is placed upon them. Well, it's a lot

more complicated than I thought.

Okay, don't worry.

All right? You're trying hard.

You're keen to learn. That's important.

Let's just not lose sight of the fact that we have the opportunity to make

millions of dollars here.

We? Yes, Robert.

You and me.

Is that not a little irregular?

Yes, it is.

Millions? Lisa, just give him the money!

Nice shooting.

No problem.

Exactly as you predicted. Quick, drive my car.

Here's $40.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you know he'd react like that?

It's our job to know things like that.

You done this sort of thing before?

Let's go!

You can take the car, but remember...

Look, they weren't trying to kill you. They were trying to confuse you and

you. Yeah, before they killed me.

And I lost the car and I didn't get any money. You can't expect to get

everything right the first time. Look, you are going to be fine.

You are going to be a success.

Do you think so?

I mean, you didn't get caught, right?

No.

No, I didn't get caught.

I fooled them. I got away.

Maybe we could go out.

Out where?

For a drink.

What, like on a date?

Yeah, like a date.

I wouldn't call it a bad relationship.

No, Lily and I, we just... You know, we just grew apart as people.

There's no bitterness on either side.

She left you?

No, no, no, no. No.

Yes, she left me.

The aerobics instructor.

How did you know that? You have the demeanor of a man whose partner has left

for an aerobics instructor.

I do?

Yeah.

But be honest, it was inevitable.

You two weren't suited for one another. You dream of something better. She wants

it now, hence the gymnast.

Am I right?

Well, yeah. Yeah, it's a common scenario.

Can I tell you about this dream I keep having? I think you're in it.

I'm in your dream?

Now I feel violent.

Something like that. I don't want to hear it.

Well, perhaps this is a good opportunity to tell you about my novel.

Look, I'm not interested in your novel.

It's 1962, right? And Marilyn Monroe is giving birth to a baby girl.

She was on the phone to Jack Kennedy. She said, Jack, it's yours, it's yours,

Jack. So then the orphan grows up and she solves some great mystery, right?

Kind of obvious, Robert.

Let's play a game.

If I win, I go free.

Look, you are free. The kidnap's over.

I'm no more a kidnapper than I am.

Won't you bundle up?

Indulge me, Robert.

What if it's what you want?

It's all I ever want.

You're free.

That's right.

Aren't you going to leave?

We haven't got our money yet.

special guest who is a close personal friend of mine, and I'm going to ask him

to come up here and sing a song.

He is the best selling artist in the world with 12 gold albums, 16

platinum albums, and 32 number one hit singles.

Mr. Richie!

My name is Richie Vanderloo, and I'd

like to sing this song for my beautiful wife,

Lucille.

Oh, and this is a very special song for her.

Somewhere waiting for me.

My lover stands on golden sand.

And watches the ships that go sailing.

Somewhere beyond the seas.

She's there watching for me.

Spread your arms, I've got stage...

We'll kiss just like before And happy we'll be

beyond the sea And ever again I'll go steady

Not just my heart because you're treated as equal in love.

Oh, my God, what happened?

You were great.

I was?

Yeah.

I remember drinking tequila.

Certainly with a feature of the evening.

Then I had an incredible dream.

This dream I've had it before.

You're definitely in it now. Oh, I don't want to hear it.

We were on this game show called Perfect Love.

Never heard of it.

Well, it's just a dream.

I don't think the fact that it's a game show has any relevance. It merely

indicates my cultural origins.

I mean, were I a tribesman in the Kalahari, for instance, the location

undoubtedly have been different.

But I think the theme is universal.

We were on this game show called Perfect Love.

My life was in danger. Are you ready?

Am I ready for what?

To write a letter.

Perhaps you'd like to keep this.

We had it analyzed.

It's his handwriting and her blood.

Without her help, Mr. Neville, that could be the last trace of your daughter

ever see.

He wants to make it a straight switch with no delay.

I want her back. Don't worry, we'll get her.

And I want him dead.

That understood, Mr. Neville.

Good.

And when this is over, I want this back.

Bradley was nice, you know.

Extremely wealthy.

Honorable, amusing.

And?

He's seven years old. Yeah.

Then there was Jake.

He was nice.

Very rich.

So conventional.

You see? Rich guys, conventional.

It's the problem.

Then there was Angelo.

25 years old.

Handsome, healthy, exciting.

Sophisticated.

Considerate.

So? Well, I think that we just sort of grew apart as people.

The aerobics instructor.

Like I said, it's a common scenario.

So who was next?

Well, then I started getting problems with my teeth.

With your teeth?

Yeah, my teeth.

Hey, you want a ride?

Hi, thanks for stopping, guys.

We're not stealing it, we're just borrowing it.

I had that dream again last night. What dream?

We were on that game show called Perfect Love, right?

Fascinating. And my life was in danger.

On the game show?

I know, it's difficult to explain.

Strange things were happening.

So it would appear.

But my life was in danger.

And you saved it.

My heart was beating so fast.

And then it stopped.

And I was just about to die.

And you saved it. You saved my life.

Well, what are we waiting for?

You want to get on with this or not?

Sure.

You send the girl over?

First the money, that was the deal.

Are you okay, Miss Neville?

Yes, I'm okay.

I'm just a little frightened.

Don't you worry, Miss.

Everything will be alright!

The fucking muscle.

What took you?

He shot up the car.

You shot up our car.

Now what did you do that for?

Trying to make a getaway.

We're trying to make a getaway.

How is she?

I don't know.

But I don't think it's worked.

It did not.

You know.

Jeopardy. Jeopardy Jackson.

Always works.

gonna kill me yeah well then i don't see why i should dig

if you dig i promise you when the time comes i'll shoot you through the

head now look you don't like that i can just shoot you through the testicles

right now you can be to death i'll dig the grapes up to you

Can you cut me free?

Please?

Sore.

What's he gonna do with them?

Shoot him in the back of the head.

Right.

Would that be a problem for you?

Have you ever felt like you're not in control of everything?

Yes.

No. I mean, something is destined to happen, and it doesn't.

Like what happens when the fourth is a destiny?

I'm no longer in control.

I don't know.

The truth is...

I don't think even he knows what's going on down here.

The chaos, the hatred, this violence.

Who are you talking about?

Jeopardy Jackson always works.

Dick.

What are they doing in there?

Should have shot him myself.

Yeah, well, you can't trust them to do anything.

I take it you're not in a love situation.

What?

I mean you're not in love.

What's it to you?

Nothing.

That's okay. You can stop now.

No. I've waited long enough.

No. No.

No. No. No.

Lost myself in gravity, memory.

The need, the need, the need that keeps me.

Just for a minute there, I thought we were in trouble. I told you don't get

caught.

Don't get out of the car.

Don't ever go into the woods with a stranger.

I know you're right.

I'm always right. You might like to remember that.

Get the money.

What the hell is that?

The policy says that the card's no good. I'm authorized to destroy it. It's my

card, lady. You don't understand right now. I'm sorry about this, ma 'am.

Don't worry. Don't worry. I've got some cash, okay?

$30, sir.

Don't look like that.

Stay calm, okay?

I cancelled my credit card.

I've never been so humiliated in my life.

I know exactly how you feel. You don't begin to know how I feel. Only the

exceptionally rich can know how I feel at a time like this. Don't take it

personally. What are you trying to say? That I'm going to find my own natural

level? Think to the bottom like her?

Like who?

Who are you talking about?

Pull over.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no.

Live a little.

This is insane.

Stop worrying so much. It'll be my first time soon. That's what I'm worrying

about. Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Nick?

I'd like to make a withdrawal.

Go with a green room cliché.

You can't point a gun at a girl's head!

What?

You can't find it so difficult yourself!

That was different. Was it? Because it didn't feel any different to me. It felt

just like this.

Now do you understand how it felt, huh, Robert?

That you, unlike me, lacked the balls to hold the trigger. Oh, no.

Goodbye, Robert.

Okay, kill me, but don't touch the girl!

Extremely amusing.

Kill me, but don't touch the girl. Robert, you shouldn't be on television.

Very funny.

What's wrong?

What's wrong, you crazy bitches? I thought you were going to shoot me.

That's what's wrong.

What's wrong?

Selene, it's over.

I'm done, Selene. I'm going to die because I want to die.

You're not going to die.

I don't want to die.

Are you taking me to a hospital? Because I don't want to die in a hospital.

I'm not going to take you to a hospital.

What?

What do you mean you're not taking me to a hospital? I demand to be taken to a

hospital. Where are you taking me?

Very nice.

Very nice indeed.

You could have a perfect smile.

For $2 ,000 you could change your life.

No thanks.

Do you think a perfect smile just happens?

Is that what you think?

Huh? Do you think that Celine's smile is her own?

No, it's not.

It's mine.

I gave it to her.

Just like I can give you one.

I'll fix your teeth for $12 ,000.

I didn't get shot in the teeth.

Well, let me tell you something.

Wouldn't have made too much difference if you had.

I don't want to say anything. I mean, it's your teeth. But if you wait another

year, you're going to have like 50 grand worth of major reconstruction going on

in there. If you wait another year, you'll be dead.

Reconciliate.

You know, they wanted me to take a break, you know.

Take a break.

Go get counseling, you know. Fuck them. What do they know? They wanted me to

stay in the hospital. I discharged myself this afternoon.

Lucky for you that I did, huh?

Have you done this before?

The principles of surgery are the same above and below the neck.

Advertise me! I'm sure you'll probably pass out if the pain gets worse.

Turn over, darling.

Turn over.

One heel.

Robbie!

Hey, how are you? Come on. Join the party.

Come on.

You want some champagne?

Oh, wait.

Here you go.

Here, look at that.

So I understand that you're... Here, please.

I understand that you're something of a fugitive.

Don't be shocked.

We go back a long way.

Oh, I see. You're a dentist.

Yeah, that's right.

We met over that particularly fine head of ivory.

In fact, I gave her her first filling.

have to hurt you with his inconvenient and undignified

fucker

get up leave him alone Elliot why don't you stay at it

me exactly what you were trying to achieve back there how about you do some

explaining to me i didn't want you to bleed to death and i think i saved your

life yeah well i would rather i'm bled to death than a witness not witness what

exactly you and ellie in an advanced state of foreplay he was about to pass

drunk in about five minutes if you hadn't come along yes sure and even if

were about to get physical which we weren't what's it got to do with you

It's possible.

But why?

Why, Robert? Why do we have to have something? We were getting along just

Having something ruins everything.

What are you going to do now?

Ask me to marry you?

Of course I'm not going to ask you to marry me.

But you thought about it. Don't be absurd.

It never even occurred to you.

Well, it wouldn't be so bad.

See what I mean? Just forget it. Consider it forgotten.

Where do you want to go? Don't care.

Do you want to get out of the car?

You're asking me to get out of the car. No, I'm asking if you want to get out.

The same thing.

Not the same thing. One is a request, the other is a question.

Fine. Then I'll get out. No, if that's what you want, I won't stop you.

And don't even ask where I'm going.

Don't even imagine that I care.

Exactly the problem.

Stop hovering over me. I can't concentrate.

Have you written anything yet?

What am I supposed to write?

Love letters, Jackson, deal mainly with the subject of love. I need time to

think.

We don't have time.

Every day they spin the part, the more difficult it's going to be.

And if Neville finds our boy, he's just meat.

When I was alive, there was a girl.

You wrote to some girl?

A long time ago.

You never told me about this.

Never came to nothing, O 'Reilly.

Her father did not accrue a match.

There was just young love, but I won't.

Many times, passion and despair.

I never knew you had a romantic soul.

I often wonder what became of that girl.

Sweetie. Delilah.

Delilah Gray.

Her father was a colonel.

Jackson, you're qualified.

You can write this letter.

That's a problem. See, I wrote to her, sure, but I didn't write letters.

As a matter of fact, I wrote

the poem.

Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died.

Give me, give me one more chance to

keep you satisfied. Remember, my dear.

They only want one thing.

Maybe they want it more than once, but it's still only one thing.

Personal documents.

Well, I hope it was a good one.

That's all I'm saying.

Because if she don't like it, she won't come.

And if she don't come, we're stuck.

Sure.

Got your poem.

Sorry? Your poem, the one you wrote me.

Poem?

Oh, desert me, wretched loneliness, and bring me back my love.

She and I have parted.

Sky is up above.

It worked.

She loves it.

Your limbs are felt and slender.

Your touch is soft and tender.

But the bits that I like best are the bits that... I'm going to read that

Jackson, Jackson, what the hell did you write?

No, it was a simple poetic reference to...

Oh, Celine.

Please, last verse.

Just as the flowers blossom in the gaze of the shining sun, I would be most

honored.

You would bear my son.

Robert, no one has ever written me a poem before.

All those guys I dated, they didn't care about me.

They just wanted to own this.

I would never open my heart to any of those guys.

And before I met you, I never believed that there was any alternative.

But when you stopped that bullet, and then you got the wrong idea about

I should have understood.

Celine. No, please, just let me finish. This is very difficult for me to say.

But I feel I can trust you. I didn't write the poem.

What? I didn't write it.

I've never written a poem in my life.

How can anybody be that honest? It's his handwriting. Tell him it's his

handwriting. But it's your handwriting.

It has this address. It even has some sort of cheap aftershave impregnated on

the paper.

I didn't write the poem, okay?

Oh, my God.

Helene has known it.

Fucking bees.

What do you have to do?

We did everything for them.

We brought them together. We put them in jeopardy.

We went down there and killed them both.

We gave them every opportunity.

All I had to do was fall in love.

Maybe we failed, Jackson.

But we don't have to live like this.

Nice looking woman.

She isn't my type.

What are you talking about?

Look at yourself.

You're nobody.

You're nothing.

You're wanted in connection with a violent crime.

You're cleaning the floor of a diner.

She is an intelligent, passionate woman. Beautiful, rich woman.

The issue of whether or not she is your type.

Not one that you are likely to have to resolve in this world.

Or indeed the next, since she will be going to some heaven for glamorous

And you will be cleaning the floor of a diner in hell.

Guess so.

So, why are you even thinking about it?

I don't know.

Six to four.

Father's not home yet.

I expect he'll pay our ransom straight off.

Not until we send a few of your fingers to the mail.

I'm going to stick right there.

See how that killed him.

You want to hear it?

Mr. Veal, you got a five -card trick, Mr. Veal.

You can stick right there, and you got $4 ,000.

But you want another hit, okay? You want another hit, it's up to you.

What is that?

Answer Jackson.

I can't do that.

I'm playing blackjack. She might cheat when I'm out of the room.

All right.

You played blackjack with a hostage.

Now, you sure you want to increase your bet before you take another hit?

No!

No!

Okay.

from the face oh you punch her in the face she's half your size and you punch

her in the face she had a gun oh she had a gun so that means everything all

right does it no i'm not saying it makes everything all right i'm just trying to

explain to you that for all i knew she could have been a karate expert or

something with a broken arm with a broken arm okay i'm sorry now just cut

free

Celine? What do you want?

I'm just trying to explain.

No!

An arrow of your love. And that's the truth.

See? What I'm saying is that I love you.

What? What did you say?

What? Dad!

What I was trying to say was that I... Ah, shit!

When?

Who's that?

Don't worry, Mr. Lean. Everything's going to be just fine.

Not just gonna leave him here, are we?

No, sir.

Anything you can do?

I don't have authority to intervene.

I don't have authority to intervene!

But I think it's upstairs.

I think it's upstairs. I would have put it up there.

He probably left it under the bed. That would be a good place.

I don't think he has it, Mr. DeVille.

No, that's it.

That's where it is.

That's where it was.

I put it under that board.

I'll have your money back to you in a minute, Mr. DeVille.

a detail.

You have your money back in a second, son.

Why don't you understand that it isn't the money, it's the principal.

Major, not yet.

What happened? You shot them, and then you shot... So, did...

Just move.

No, sir. In all due respect, sir, how could anything be beyond your control?

Well, anyway, you shot them, and then you shot... Sure he

didn't move?

I'm quite sure, sir.

Yes?

No, sir.

Yeah. Quiet.

Yeah, right.

Maybe she's moved.

She's moved.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir. They are both dead, sir. I shot them myself.

I won't disturb you.

Yeah!

You shot them, and then you shot yourself, and then you set fire to this

didn't you?

Not yet, he didn't.

Selene. Why didn't you just put that gun down?

Do not get in my way, Father.

Selene, I'm not responsible for your actions.

You're an angel.

You need the best psychiatric treatment that money can buy.

Just like your mother.

So why don't you...

Why don't you just give me the

gun?

Because as he dreamt, I shall save his life with an arrow.

An arrow of my love for him.

Leave me!

If I were your woman And you were my man You'd have

no other woman You'd be weak as a lamb If you

had the strength To walk out that door My love would

overrule my sins And I'd call you back for more If I were your woman So you're

telling me that

Successful relationships are made in heaven, not founded on the daily

practicality of two people being prepared to tolerate the imperfections

another.

It's not successful relationships, Celine.

It's love.

And it comes from a strange and wonderful place that we don't know

So then you also reject the idea that love is merely an emotional adaptation

a physical necessity.

Completely. Are you serious?

Fate intervenes in people's lives.

In ours, for instance.

Fate brought us together.

It kept us together.

We were destined for one another.

Fate had a pretty strange way of making its points.

But that's part of the beauty of it.

It's inexplicable, unpredictable, and absolutely beyond control or

understanding.

You nearly got killed. But I didn't.

And here we are.

Do you have any substantial evidence to back all this?

None at all. And you realize that it's absurd and irrational.

I know that.

Then why do you believe it?

Because to me, I'm a dreamer.

Well, I guess that makes two of us.

Are you ready?

As I'll ever be.

Then let's go.

Amaratus Pactum Laborium!

Are we going home now?

Let's wait for Brian's person before he comes.

Let's do the teacher who knows he knows.

He did an answer to Father's question yesterday.

And he finds the sound that they begin.

The ladder box is open and I forget.

I need you at the option for Starbucks.

Rolls our way, the first time around

Rolls our way, the best thing for you

Cause then you'll let me know you

The game is kicking off and around the clock.

25 to sign it before it's dark.

You're going to be a loser and you know the next goal is.

Try to shoot the front and call the score.

Everybody's knocking and going once more.

And he finds the style of no response.

It's just pop, pop, ball.

You're so alone today, like a joke sound. I found there's no relief,

no salt in the sea.

Is it true what they say?

You can't behave.

You gamble your soul away.

Measuring your dreams.

Oh, this life seems like the crystal of loneliness.

Like a nice day, nice days on your way.

Sipping the golden drags on a riptide freak ride.

Sleep inside a parasite's appetite.

Oh, say, what's your name?

The chemistry, the parasites, the cleanup thing.

Death, a matter of hands, recycled cans, just well tied to

the hostage van.

Don't let the moon catch you crying.

I got a magical way to lead you like a book, yeah.

You got a music playing with me.

The message that's of my strength. I'm pretty much all I know. For the rest of

my life, I will be climbing somewhere.

Climbing.

Climbing.

Climbing.
