Look, I fly, I fly

- What are you? A fairy?

- No, no, he has a pilot's license

You don't wanna fly commercial

airlines with all these heads

That's how you got in this whole mess.

He can fly us. It's smarter

I fly

All right, grab all those heads.

Just leave the top one

Why?

Because the top one doesn't look like

anybody and Big Sep will never buy it

Wait just a minute! I sawed this off

and you re not even gonna use it?

- Steve, chill

- No, you chill

It s not fair. I spent a lot of time on this head

Don't you think that you could've at

least told me this before I cut it off?

I saw that coming

- Don't f*** with a guy looking for heads

- Good advice

Now take all the heads and let's go, okay?

- Big Sep, it's Benny

- Where the hell are my heads?

I just talked to Tommy a while ago.

He'll be there tomorrow

First it was two weeks ago,

then three days ago

I gave them to Tommy.

It's Tommy's deal now

Don't you talk to me about Tommy.

I trust Tommy

This is your job

Big Sep, what are we talking about here

Heads! It's not like they got any

value on the open market

It's not like we re talking diamonds here

now that's what's bothering me Ben

A guy pays 80 grand

and doesn't see proof...

He starts thinking maybe, just maybe he's

been double-crossed, you know what I mean?

Big Sep, I swear on the soul of my dead

mother, I off them myself

me, and Rico, I give you my word!

Your word ain't what

I paid you 80 f***ing grand for, Ben

I paid you 80 f***ing grand

to see their f***ing heads

Now you bring me their heads

Bennie! Bennie, Bennie,

come in here, hurry up!

Bennie, you re not gonna believe

this! Look, look at this!

- My God! That's Hugo!

- That s Hugo and Stu, I mean...

didn't I tell you he'd screw up,

Bennie, didn't I tell you?

- This ain' t good

- What the hell's Big Sep gonna say, Bennie

Shut up!

Ernie Lipscomb,

Please pick up a courtesy phone

This is Ernie Lipscomb

Ernie, it's Charlie. Let me talk to him

- Sure. It's for you

- Yeah?

Hi, it s Charlie, l...

I lost two more heads

What? How could you

lose two more heads?

- The police got them

- How could the police get them?

The one I lost earlier,

I got it back

What are you looking at?

He's talking about potheads

We re de-programmers

with marijuana anonymous

He hates to lose a client

Listen to me, you little incompetent

piece of sh*t! Where are you exactly?

The La Purisima Hotel

Don't move. Don't leave your room

for anything. I coming down there

If there s any more heads

missing by the time I get there

I'm gonna replace them with your

family and your friends, you hear me, huh?

He really cares, and

that's what makes him the best

What?

I'm thinking that once he gets

these away from us your dad's a goner

We gotta move

I, I saw a place just outside of here, we gotta

check into another hotel, come on, get up!

Uhm, I'll take these

I had nowhere else to put them

I'll take these to the

American border, I'll give them to the police

I'll rent a car

I'll drive all night

- What am I gonna tell my mother?

- Tell her anything

Tell her we had a fight,

tell her I called you fat

It doesn't matter what she thinks

the important thing is to save your dad

I'm not fat

Look Laurie, maybe your dad

was right about me

Maybe, I'm a total nimrod

who can't follow through on anything

But I got him into this

I promise you, I'm gonna get him out

Get your hands off her Maniac!

Hold on!

You may want me to think I'm crazy

but I'm not crazy and I'm not stupid

you had those heads hidden in your room,

and then you pinned them on my Dick

Mom, what are you saying?

I'm calling the police on him,

I'm gonna do it right now

- No

- No

Mom, calling the police

is a bad idea. No, no

Laurie, I love you. Take your hand off the phone

you, back off, I know exactly what I am doing

No, you, you're not thinking clearly

I am thinking perfectly. I know exactly

what I am doing. I told you to back off!

Operator? No, I wasn't yelling at you.

Could you get me the police please?

Oh yes, operator, I need you

to get the police for me, policia?

Si, si, si, I'm trying to reach

the police, the policia, si, gracias...

Yes, Si, Si!

Yes, of course, I'll hold,

I'm happy to hold

For Christ s sake, keep it down!

Yes, oh, hello, police, yes, I have...

Charlie, hurry! Go!

- I need to rent a car

- Sure, that's no problem

We got chevys,

jeep, chevys...

Hey, that looks like our jeep

Well, uh, there's a lot

of jeeps, you know, senor

With this magazine in them? I don't

think so. This jeep was stolen from us

I don't know, senor

a lot of people read magazines

On seizures? You gotta be kidding me!

You really like that magazine, huh?

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do

You rent this jeep,

I'm gonna throw in magazine for Nada

Unbelievable!

Excuse me.

Where can we rent a car? Thanks!

All right, make sure it has A.C

Hold on, champ. Thanks

Are you telling me I just passed out?

Come on, drink up, you're a little dehydrated

- I'm gonna get us packed

- My butt's staying right here

Why? I hear

the Tropicana s wonderful

It's a waste of money, honey! Give me

the two c's, a cot and a crapper, I'm set

But...

Laurie, Charlie, it's Ernie

- Jesus!

- Who the hell is Ernie?

- Nobody, grandma

- Well, he sure as hell seems to know you

- No, grandma

- Is this some guy you're boffing on the side?

- Grandma!

- What the hell are you doing?

- Where's Charlie?

- Who are you?

I asked you a question

where the f*** is Charlie?

And I asked you a question,

who the f*** are you?

Now that we're in this frigging

La Purisima, what do we do now?

We find a cop station and we get our heads

All right

Benny! Look! It's him! It's Tommy!

What the hell do you think he's doing?

Do you think he got the heads back already?

I don't know, but why

don't we follow him? Come no!

Where the hell is he going?

Keep following him

I told Charlie to stay put

I told that son-of-b*tch to stay put

So who are you? God?

Why the hell should he listen to you?

Oh! I am so groggy!

Do you mind if I lie down in the back?

I don't give a sh*t what

you do lady, just keep quiet

Watch your language

Ow! Fern, stop it! Ugh!

Oh! My God!

Another head? Oh! My God!

Lady, lady, shut up!

I can't stand it! I'm losing my mind!

Everywhere I look are heads!

Shut up, lady! Jesus Christ!

You're not the only person

on this planet with problems

Shut it!

Jesus! What a head case!

Is that supposed to be a joke? Killer humour!

Looks like this guy

I dated in High School

Hugo Porto

Hey, I think we're gonna pull over

because we need some gas soon

- Keep f***ing driving

- Didn't I tell you to watch your language?

What are you doing? Where are you going?

Get your hands off me, you goon!

Don't f*** with me!

Grandma!

- My money says he ain't got the head

- Mine, too

Man, how could you do that?

- How could I what?

- Throw her off the cliff?

A man can only take so much, Kid

Oh! My God! I can't believe it!
