Original subtitles

Hello, Connelly.

No.

Shit!

All right.

Stay here.

Your time's up, then, sir.

Well, I'm doing you a favor.

You better get out of town if you want to stay healthy.

You can't scare me.

How much is that big in your opinion to protect?

You're tired of living.

You'll get sorry with a gun, you'll break it over your head.

Don't say a word.

Excuse me.

Shh.

Look out!

Watch it.

You didn't count.

What do you mean it didn't count?

It did.

Rule number six.

Any two players that choose to join?

She's still in front of me.

Her voice in the quivering lips parted.

Afraid.

Her piercing eyes focused somewhere between me and the 38 to dangling her side.

She was in trouble.

Deep trouble.

Something in her eyes that helped me.

What's this?

Go on.

She looked at me helplessly.

At once, I was transfixed by her beauty.

This mystery woman alone, vulnerable.

Like so many hairwins and those chammer novels and Bogot films.

And then she disappeared.

Was I dreaming?

I slipped out the door and spotted her in a jam.

It was my warning to save the day.

For a brief instant, I was a hero.

A hero in a game of tag.

What are you doing?

We didn't want these last year.

Tramer wrote the article.

Yep, that was a 7-line film and a 1-esque thing.

This game's a phenomenon.

It's sweeping the country.

There's a great story here.

A great story?

Yes.

Frank, kids pretending to be killers.

Hunting each other.

Like Chicago hitmen.

Oh, boring.

Hey, hey.

Well, screw you, Frank.

I'm doing a feature on it.

Great.

I'm going to tag along with one of the players getting inside.

Look.

Hm, hold it.

You wouldn't be packing along with the mystery woman, you know, the one with a

moist and quivering lips and the piercing eyes, would you?

Maybe.

Oh, you want to get laid, huh?

Frank, first of all, you're a crew that's out of a bitch.

And second of all, you don't know this story when you see it.

Maybe not.

But I know you, pal.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Oh, fine.

This is a test.

Now, Eric, it's happening at 20046.

Hey, Charlene, is there a caps listing for game called tag?

Hey, bye.

This is the top and this is your damn game, your responsibility.

It is a goddamn headache to begin with.

Now, I am warning you, any of your players screw up.

We shut you down.

Okay, okay.

Hi.

Oh.

Hi, L.

I'm sorry.

Uh, you're not playing this goddamn game, are you?

That's it.

Well, thank God for that.

Keep out of it, will you?

I'm going to suspend.

Thank you.

Come on in.

You're going to have to be a little bit more careful if you want to play tag.

The assassination game.

My name is Alex Marsh.

I'm going to take a look at this, Alec.

What do you see?

It's a book.

That's right.

A book.

An ordinary book.

Harmless and innocent, but inside a weapon.

Concealed and dangerous.

550.

Uh, I'm not here to play tag.

Okay, five.

I'm with the monitor.

Ah, a gentleman from the press.

For you, 1095.

Just kidding.

Let me get you to see.

You know, the press doesn't always be too kind of to us.

It's always this psychological mumbo jumbo.

Listen, I'm looking for one of the players.

I made her last night.

That's confidential information.

Confidential.

That's what I said.

Confidential.

Okay.

For the sake of argument, let's say you are who you say you are.

A reporter from the newspaper.

Still.

Some assassin might have sent you over to check out this game.

Get her file.

Maybe you will bundle for the info.

No way.

Nice try, pal, but no dice.

Come on.

Excuse me.

That was quick.

Free kills in a day.

That's even fast for you, gers.

It was easy.

The competition's shitty this round.

There's no challenge anymore.

Let me get a win all the time.

I wish I'd at least clean up your act.

You're bad for the image, Lauren.

Look around the room here.

That's the way a real tag champion should look.

Swab.

Sophisticated.

Sharp.

Ultra now.

Like the real thing.

So call me your hair.

Tuck in your shirt.

You look sloppy.

You do the thing sloppy and get killed.

Never happen, Carpenter.

You know!

Never!

He's a weird winner.

Hey, where are you going?

How about a dart gun?

A monster.

Nice try, nance.

How'd you know it was me?

They're the only one I know under 50.

It was that cheap perfume for me.

Well, it's always worked for me.

Oh, look at my hair.

There's a guy staring at you across the lawn.

The dark-haired one, pretending to read.

Oh, yeah.

This name's Randy Seminetti.

He's my assassin.

Cute, huh?

It's not my type.

Oh, here's Gary.

Who is?

Oh, it's perfect.

Come on.

I'll show you one of my specialties.

Come

on.

Grab the side.

Come on, get it.

Hold on.

Come on.

Hurry up.

Get the cramp.

Are you okay?

Thank you.

Ha ha ha.

I'm a new court in general, Italy.

You can make it.

But just a leg for the morning, the day.

Sorry.

Me and the game.

It's called the egg.

It's in this ass-nation game.

Yes.

Yes.

Well, good evening, Duane.

Look at you.

Don't you know you're not supposed to take

showers when people are trying to kill you.

They always get in the shower.

You are the ashamed of yourself.

I got you.

You're dead.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

The gun went off.

It hit you.

It's my gun.

You're dead.

It wasn't in your hand.

It was an accident.

There's no rule.

It doesn't have to be in your hand.

I beat you.

I beat number one.

I can't wait to tell a carpenter.

Well, since that wasn't fair and you know it.

Let's just start over, say in an hour.

Forget it.

What?

I'll give you.

When he bucks, we can start over fair and square.

I don't even hear you.

There may not speak.

Listen, Swanton.

I've never lost a game.

I've never been hit.

This game means a lot to me.

You've gotta give me another try.

You're weird, Gersh.

I won.

You lost.

Somebody's gotta lose.

So square.

Take it on the lamp.

I'll have the chair.

No hard feelings, Wayne.

Uh, church.

Thank you.

Jesus Christ, Purge.

What's wrong with you?

Purge.

Because dad, James and I have been having an affair for the capture.

And dad, that's not wrong.

It's all over pal.

Wait a minute, I'm not playing the game.

My name's Alex Marsh.

You remember my room last night?

Braden Dorm.

Yeah.

What's the idea of sneaking in on me?

Uh, why is it turning the favor?

You know, kind of a joke.

No, okay.

Look, would you mind if I get up now?

You want a drink?

No, that's.

Cigarette?

No.

Then what do you want?

Um, I'm with the monitor.

And we're doing a feature on the game.

And I need to follow somebody around.

Sort of get the spirit of the thing.

And you thought of me.

That's right.

Excuse me.

Listen.

Yeah.

I plan on winning this game.

And I don't want to lug around any dead weight.

If you want a story, you're going to have to earn your keep.

Okay.

There's a convertible outside.

Yeah.

Hold me down.

Hello.

A little carpenter.

Yeah?

This is fine.

Come on, Gersh.

I just killed Swanson.

Hmm.

Good work, Gersh.

It's like you're on a way to another title.

Was the victim profile passed on?

Yeah.

Okay.

Looks like you're all set.

Listen.

Can't talk now.

Trade busy.

You dig?

Got a scoot.

Good luck.

Thanks.

For Gersh.

Yeah.

Remember, clean up your act.

Who is

it?

It's a guy.

Shh.

Shh.

Marc, move it.

There she is.

You're not going to put a brother.

Yeah!

I can't!

I can't!

I can't!

Where are we going?

Just keep driving.

You did good, Marc.

Delta house.

That's him upstairs.

I'll get him when he goes to his car.

He has a sociology class in 15 minutes.

Well, let me get some information on you for the future.

Let's see.

Susan.

This way is... It's way easy.

Oh, sorry.

Um, about five six.

And that.

Brown eyes.

Gray.

Gray eyes.

Where are you from, Susan?

Beverly Hills.

Beverly Hills.

Um, major.

Psychology.

Psych.

Okay.

About 19.

About.

Um, boyfriends.

I don't believe in them.

And what has that got to do with the game?

Um, motivation.

See, I was wondering if people are in this game.

You know, to meet new people.

Or it's because of homicidal tendencies.

You know.

Motivation.

It's something to do.

Uh-huh.

Everybody likes to play games, don't they?

Get away from the books.

Keep it fun.

Keep it light.

You can get lost in this.

Scream.

Cry and know that when it's all over, you can turn around and go home.

It's safe.

It's a game.

Got that?

Yeah.

Yeah, I got

it.

Shit.

The lights out.

Quick.

Kiss me.

Kiss me.

Excuse me.

Or shoot.

Profile, Ted now.

Goodbye.

Very funny.

Damn it.

I had her.

That was a close one.

Yeah.

Good morning, class.

What do we see here?

Or two lines?

The first line bracketed by an inward v - shaped configuration.

The second by an outward v.

The one, some inward line.

The first, the guy at the pool.

Oh, night.

I think he felt he had to prove something ever.

I humiliated him yesterday.

Psychologist characterized some percent of his abilities.

He gave me this.

You must have a person could ask me.

He's a newer liar.

What about your thoughts?

Oh, the guy in our room last night.

He's just a reporter for the school paper.

Congress wants to find out about the game.

And what else?

Nothing.

None be really like him.

He's okay.

He's okay.

He's okay.

He's the nicest thing he said about the eight months.

You must be in love.

I can't believe you sometimes.

I can never do that for once.

Well, she gives me the... Hey, what are you doing?

Be careful.

I'm not playing that silly game anymore.

What?

I'm going to be in his practice today.

And then we're standing in the night as parents.

Be a child's name.

And tomorrow we're going to come together.

Oh, you're busy.

Oh, great.

You get me all involved in the game.

And then you quit on me.

You need to see the game.

I can see it honey.

I'll be with you in a second.

You're in.

I brought your girlfriend, huh?

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

All right, everybody.

Come on.

Let's line up for the hundred.

How much accent?

What's seminary?

Fill up so pen and fiber.

And you'll rock them.

Let's go.

Come on.

Move on.

Let's go.

All right.

Come on, Jackson.

No, no, no.

You blew it.

Oh, you blew it.

Get your butt down.

That's fine.

Clean it up.

This is for you, sweetheart.

So, Eddie, you don't mind?

Huh?

You can flirt with the girls.

That's right.

Get set.

Let's go.

Let's go back to the bottom one time.

I'm here to go, Ray.

Carpenter?

This is Kirch.

Nancy McCaulley is out of the running.

Sorry.

I expect you to behave in a manner, befitting your position.

You're the five-time undefeated champion, Lauren.

Yes, sir.

You're more than just another player.

You're a symbol.

A symbol of all those ragtag players that can never get past the first round,

but look back at you and say if the first can do it, anyone can.

They're their inspiration.

They're leader.

Let's go out there and do your job.

Yes, sir.

Alex, honey, sweetheart, I've got a story for you.

Talk to Patterson over at Campus Security.

He tells me there are two separate reports of missing students.

Disappeared, no trace, no nothing.

Roommates don't know where they are.

Our girlfriends do not know where they are.

Again.

Huh.

Huh.

Is that how you can say?

A stone attack feature, Frank.

I don't believe you.

Finally, a real story comes along and you want to do this human interest garbage.

What happened is give me something for fun.

Get a break.

Give me something juicy.

Mm-hmm.

Artie Lang.

Floyd Skinner.

She's a psych.

Cola G.

Major.

Oh, that's it.

Oh, wait.

I knew it.

She's gonna be something.

Last time this happened, it was a French transfer student.

You spent $200 on a bullets course and she chunked

you for some line back and barely spell his name.

Frank, this girl is different.

You can talk to her.

She's intelligent.

She's got character.

Yeah, character.

I like those brainless areas.

He used to go out with before Charlene.

She's like... She's like, I had a Latino.

Who?

I had a Latino.

Where I was standing with.

Warren McCall.

Character.

She's... Huh.

She's far, hard.

I don't think you're dating Roberto Durane.

Oh, shit.

I'm late.

Frank, listen.

I'm supposed to read it right now.

Turn yourself away.

Anything for love.

I'm so excited to get something that's going to go.

I'm looking for a girl.

She's been growing up with me.

Go?

She's got brown hair.

The brownish blonde.

She's about five, seven.

It's a guy with a Latino.

Who?

In her mind.

Yeah.

Alex?

It's for you.

Oh.

Don't move now, but I'm in the telephone booth directly behind you.

Carefully being followed.

Hi.

Do you see that hippie behind me?

Yeah.

Well, this name's Wallace.

He's telling me all over campus.

He's slow, but he's good.

We can't shake him in the front out of darts.

Well, uh... I'll figure something out.

Just stay put, okay?

I ain't going nowhere.

Yeah.

Fantastic.

Catch it.

Uh, catch it?

The grateful death monster starts immediately in town hall.

The three grateful death monster starts immediately in town hall.

The three grateful death monster starts immediately in town hall.

He's clean boss.

He wants to know if you came here to shoot him.

Shoot him?

Oh, no!

Oh, fuck's that?

See me?

I don't know who sent you here.

No, nobody sent me.

I just came and go to the bathroom.

Let him know.

Oh, wait and see if his friends are going to the bathroom.

Just take off.

Good idea.

So you're a psychology major.

It's interesting how the mind works.

I was reading something just the other day about the mind.

It was H.J.

atnix criticisms on Freud.

It was... simply fascinating.

You're not a psychology major?

No?

And why do you read that shit?

Well, I... I mean, really... it's my voice.

Don't believe I can't shake that guy.

I'm going to lose him once and for all.

How are you going to do that?

A little dip in the pool.

Keep your eyes down.

He'll be right back.

We'll meet you at the gym, boss.

Hey!

Hey!

Come here.

Who are you?

Don't worry about me.

I'm not playing the game.

You have to walk, right?

Yes.

I thought so.

He just went to the pool.

The pool idiot, the swimming pool.

He's down there now.

Oh, my God.

Don't you want to be in the finals?

Don't you want to win the game?

Yes.

We're going to go.

Go on.

Go on.

Keep going.

No, it's okay.

Trying to fake us out.

You know?

This game... treating us all right, isn't it?

Let's go get a rat hat to it.

Looks like I'm a dead man.

Oh, shit.

Go on.

Just like I said, he's gone.

I looked up.

He was gone.

Did you see Wallace up here?

I don't worry about Wallace up here.

You take a friend.

I'll take the back.

Yeah, okay.

Watch out for his friends.

No problem.

How's the leg, Audi?

The wheels are fine, Coach.

Get in the car.

Man, I'll drive you home.

What are you doing?

I thought you were going to eat.

He just went through that door.

He's down the home.

Now what are you doing?

I am looking for the dart if you don't mind.

I only had one in this thing.

Oh, no.

I think I found it.

Listen, would you go to my locker and get my gun?

It's 303.

I'll find Gaudi.

The combination's 34, 29, 47.

Got that?

34, 29, 47, got it.

Get it!

Good?

34, 24, 47, 34, 29.

Everybody, soon everybody.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Let me start you before tonight.

Shit!

Are you way to second?

Are you?

Wait a second.

Did you get Wallace?

Yes.

Where'd it go?

Listen, I did your favor and I need one for you.

Have all your gun.

Come on.

Yes!

I knew I got it.

Nobody's there.

It's fine.

These doors don't walk.

It's stuck.

No, get out of my way.

I'll hang one.

Oh!

Susan!

Catch!

We did it!

That was cutting it.

Close.

It was your next kid.

I don't know.

Oh, it's him.

We'll shoot.

No, we're shooting after midnight.

That's the rules.

Susan, it's got you.

Looks like it's just you and me in the finals, Gersh.

See you tomorrow.

Hey, thanks for the gun.

So tomorrow's a big day, huh?

It figures it would be Gersh.

He's never been beaten.

Well, it's the first time for everything.

You are sticking with me while I were young.

Well, yeah, again, sure.

Look, it's late.

I guess we should get some sleep so that we'll be alert in the morning.

Well, actually, according to the rules, there's no competition during the day.

No.

There's a party of seven, and the final round begins at nine.

We could sleep all day if we wanted to.

Oh, okay.

Well, good night, Marsha.

Good night.

Dude.

We budgeted in the morning.

Marsha?

Yeah.

There are not many people like how not.

Not many people I give a chance.

Somehow it's easy with you.

You ever need me, just whistle.

Whistle.

Yeah.

You know how to whistle, Marsha.

Just put your lips together.

Love.

Excuse me, son.

Son.

Sorry.

Do you like it?

Goodbye, Frank.

Look, did you die re-annual tonight, okay?

I need my type time.

Your type time.

Just a second.

There.

Here's your type time.

Happy?

Static.

Look.

Alex, one question.

When are you going to go back to work?

Don't worry about it.

It's all over tonight.

We'll be back to the school spirit articles in the morning.

Oh, and in response to your first question?

Hold the front page.

Alex got laid.

I'll wait for the biggie!

What do you think?

Interesting.

You're looking mighty chipper lately.

I haven't seen you this high since last year

when you were hanging around with a conist.

You were appetitioning all afternoon and she was home balling some Republican.

This is different.

Hi.

Yes, I'd like to send a dozen red roses.

Yeah, the University.

Room 108.

Susan.

Swayze.

Hey,

wait a goal, Gersh.

Now you've got the idea.

Looking good.

So then I heard something and I turned and there

she is, except right behind her is Charlie.

So she ducks.

And we hit each other.

Oh, she's really good.

Swayze.

She's still on my hands.

She got your food.

Scotch, please.

Hi.

Hello.

I guess I missed you at the dorm.

Yep.

It's all ready for the thing.

Listen, you have enough stuff for your article now.

I think I need to do this alone tonight.

Okay.

I'll meet you after.

I don't know, Marsh.

I have some other plans.

Is everything all right, Susan?

Testing.

One, two, three.

Okay, get around, gang.

It's time now to announce the tag finalists.

Go.

Go.

I don't get it.

I thought that after last night maybe.

Last night was fun.

First up, five-time tag champion.

The tip, fun.

Well done.

Lauren, yes.

It's just about a game you, isn't it?

And now, a new car to the tag.

Let's have a hearty tag.

Welcome for Susan Swayze.

Here are the two.

Get it with the game.

May the best killer win!

Tonight's rock concert originally scheduled to the Lynn Auditorium.

We'll take place backstage to talk a theater.

Marsh?

Okay, Gersh, let's get this over with.

I'll meet you to quad.

Come on, Frank.

We're already late.

Shh.

What are you doing?

I think.

In the dark.

Yeah, I can't see the mistakes.

Yeah, look.

Alex, buddy.

How?

I gotta ask your favor.

What?

Paterson just called in about the missing person story.

Someone just came in with another port and I

got a couple tickets to a very nice concert.

I'll take Charlene.

You stay here.

Go ahead.

It's okay.

I'll do it.

Alex, think so out of here, pal.

Thanks, Alex.

Come on.

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's get out of here.

Anything?

Good luck.

Sorry, miss.

I didn't see you there.

That's okay.

It's my fault.

Have a good evening.

Hey, Paterson.

Hey Alex, how are you doing?

Fantastic.

That bad, huh?

What's wrong?

Last time I saw you like this, it was that estrogen structure.

She kept calling you an asshole and you thought it was just part of the training.

Yeah.

This is different.

It's worse.

What about this missing person story?

Is he that guy?

Yeah.

He's the fifth person in the last three days to report a missing student.

Weird, huh?

Yeah.

Um, do you mind if I talk to him?

I'll go ahead.

You know, Sharon, tell her I said it's okay.

Okay, right.

I'm on patrol.

Um, Alex, a little advice.

You're too soft on women.

They like a man to take charge.

Be done.

It's easy for you to say you got a gun.

I looked up and she was gone.

I figured she was late for class or something.

But not.

We had a date.

She doesn't show up.

Then we were supposed to go out of the concert.

She doesn't show up again.

Now look.

I never been stood up three times in a row before.

So I got real worried, you know?

That's start from the beginning.

What is the girl's name?

Yes.

I don't know what last name.

Where does she live?

We ain't dorm.

We were two orders.

No, one away.

Did you just go for a check?

Yeah, we both did.

And what colors are here?

One.

When's the last tiny song?

I'd like to do it yesterday.

I don't know.

It doesn't happen.

Yeah.

Hello again, Susan.

Welcome to the Music Department.

This is where I work.

It is my major.

Not a bad cover, eh, Susan?

Well, do you want to hear one of my compositions before you die?

I have it right here.

It took second place.

Last year.

Second place.

You know what second place is?

Nothing.

First place.

This is scholarship.

You steal your time in a pause.

Oh, lots of applause, Susan.

Like tonight, we'll move it together at the party.

Well, here it is.

I hope you like it.

What do you want it?

What are you going to get?

Hey, you're going to have to be a little bit more careful if you want to play tag.

These are progress reports, right?

Sorry.

That's confidential material.

Listen.

Hey, geez, watch the merchandise.

Well, here it is.

Where's Wallace?

Who killed him?

Here's Wallace.

And then you'll look across and find who terminated him.

In this case, the killer was Gersh, our current champion.

Okay, I got it.

Wait a minute.

You're that reporter.

All is in, buddy.

This game's on the up and up.

What is this?

One of those expose.

This is a dot drop.

Or an O.

No, no, no.

Oh my god.

Hey, geez.

Don't get all bit out of shape, pal.

It's only a game.

Not here.

This is an answer to thawing.

What's the problem here?

Gee, no problem.

We're just playing a game.

There's a guy in the garden.

He's trying to kill me.

All right, become.

Be calm.

And I'll take it easy.

Come on.

Come on.

Get into the truck.

That's what we come on now.

Look at easy.

I'll be right back.

Hey, gersh.

I need his room number.

Gersh.

Gersh.

Oh, this is Sergeant Patterson, the campus security.

Come on out.

I want to talk to you.

This is not a university problem.

Sergeant, it's a game.

No, I'm afraid you're going to have to be.

You're not playing.

No, look out.

He's got a real guy.

A gun.

Of course, the rules say if you're drawn upon, you may respond in kind.

This section two, rule eight.

You want to look it up.

Okay.

Well, we certainly got our exercise for the day.

Hello?

Anybody home?

I'm Susan.

Open the door.

Why are you doing this?

I want to win the game, he's silly.

This is not a game you're playing.

You're using a real gun.

Oh, you're not going to trip me, Susan.

I'm undefeated.

Okay.

Are you in?

Come on, Susan.

A good player knows when she's licked.

Goodbye, Susan.

You're dead.

You're dead?

I shot you first.

That's the rules.

Shut.

Yes, Gersh.

No.

Put down the gun.

I'm not dead.

My heart's still beating.

You shot me, but my heart's still beating.

I can't die.

I'm the champion!

No one can kill me!

Get out!

That's not fair.
