Laurie, why do you have guns?

What... what...

Senor Pritchit, senor Bennett,

what's happening? What's this all about?

It's about heads

- Steve, leave him alone

- Why does she have guns?

Look! See? Heads! All right?

I know, but it's okay, Paco, Paco

I told you it wasn't recyclable

Paco, it's okay, Paco

Charlie, what are we gonna do? Charlie?

- What are you doing?

- Ernie, give me the duffel bag

Everybody stay in the car!

Steve, stay in the car!

Move, please! Move!

Hola! Hola!

I have something to declare!

His mistake, he doesn't have anything

Arrest them! Arrest them!

That's his bag! Arrest them

All right, everybody freeze!

Don't do anything stupid

and nothing stupid will happen

- Get to the plane, Rico

- Oh! Sh*t!

No need to be excited!

Charlie!

We're just getting in the plane and

fly away, bye-bye, have a nice day

Arrest them!

Drop your guns or I'm gonna shoot him

- Move in, goddamnit!

- No!

Charlie! No!

Arrest them!

Check their bag! Open their bag!

There's a human head in the bag!

The man you arrested

yesterday is in jail

for the murders these guys committed

He father is innocent

These are the guys who did it

Right there!

Wait a minute!

That's not ours!

- You arrested us for the wrong head!

- Rico

- Our heads are not here!

- Shut up!

- Where are our heads, a**hole?

- Shut up, Rico

Al suelo!

You knew it? You planned it?

- You got a future, kid!

- Thanks

"Slight of Bag by Charlie Pritchett"

Show me the law about

bringing a head out of the country

It ain't a fruit, it ain't a vegetable

it ain't a native plant, goddamnit!

Alto! Alto!

You can't have it!

It's mine!

I spent a lot of time on this head

It's my best friend!
