A Perfect Getaway Page #7

He has no clue what I am.

That's the advantage

that we exploit.

We'll do it

on the beach.

There'll be people there.

So?

I just think

we're rushing.

Don't tell me you're

starting to like Gina.

See, that's

your mistake.

You get too close.

You get too attached.

Maybe I'm starting

to like Cydney.

Bigger mistake.

She's a nice girl.

Now, I want you to start thinking about

me the way Cliff would think of her.

Even if it's not real,

even if you're physically

incapable of feeling anything,

I'd like you to

pretend that part, too.

We're supposed to be

on our honeymoon. Okay?

This is one of the most beautiful

places on Earth, rain or shine.

So, slow down that

overactive brain of yours.

I want to enjoy

myself here.

Babe, we're gonna be fine.

Sometimes it seems like

nothing exists until we get there,

until we put our eyes on it.

Like the whole f***ing

world was manufactured

for our wants

and needs, you know?

Think it'll be

a nice sunset?

I mean, like, if I take...

If I just turn my head, you

know, for just a minute and...

But don't tell me. But

does everything just stop?

Just shut down, go into some

energy-saving hibernation mode

till I choose to

reactivate them by simply...

You should say sweet

stuff to me sometimes.

Look at this.

Look at this.

I mean, f***ing idiots, man.

Just say it.

How many times

do I need to tell you?

If there's anyone in this world

that I could love, it's you.

Why is that never enough?

Just forget about it.

Look, you helped create this

fevered dream of immortality.

You are

the privileged witness

who's going to help me

lead 100 different lives.

How about this

for a new rule?

Always be sincere

even if you're not.

I know that

in some bent way

your need for detachment

fits my need for attachment.

That's it.

It's fitting f*** and a

f***ing fit. I get it, okay?

Let's stop lying

to ourselves, okay?

I'm not lying now.

I love the idea

of loving you.

And I love hearing it.

It's sick and it's sad.

Does that make

me crazy, Rocky?

Am I crazy? Am I?

It makes you exciting.

Well, whoopty-tah.

Outstanding.

No!

Nick!

Nick!

Who is this?

Hello, my name is Woody

and I'm calling to make sure

you're getting the most

out of your AT& T calling

plan. Sweet, flaming Jesus,

you don't work

the whole time.

Where're you at?

What state are you in?

I'm not supposed to say.

Okay, Woody, there's been

some murders in Honolulu.

Maybe you've heard,

maybe you haven't.

But they are coming after

me and I need your help.

Can you do this for me,

Woody? Woody, are you there?

I hear your

concerns, Madam,

but with our free-to-roam

plan, we can offer you

more minutes regardless

of the time of day...

Screw the calling plan

and listen to me good, okay?

You're going to be

my 911 boy, okay, Woody?

All right. I need you to call the

Princeville, Kauai Police Department,

and you tell them that

I can have the killers

to the Kalalau Beach

in about 30 minutes.

Can you do that

for me? Woody!

I'm placing you

on a brief hold.

No! No, you do not

put me on hold!

You do not check

with your supervisor.

I need you to

just do it! Okay?

And I also need you

to maybe call

for some air ambulance

or something because...

Hello?

Hello, Madam?

Hello?

Please tell me that

you will do this for me.

Please, please,

please, please.

Swear to me that you will.

This is in the Pacific Ocean?

Jesus!

God, I hope you're

recording this call!

Yes, it is

in the Pacific Ocean!

- Yes, it is one of the five islands!

- More to the left.

I'm on Kauai,

in the Hawaiian

chain of islands.

More.

You are almost there.

A little more, baby.

Right there.

B*tch!

She got a call off!

Ask for help

back at the beach!

Remember, nothing exists

until we get there.

Got it.

But, Rocky, nothing

exists until I get there.

Here I come, baby.

Whoa, whoa!

Didn't mean to scare you. But

you haven't seen two dudes,

two kayaks?

He shot my boyfriend!

He shot me

in the f***ing hand.

So, let's just go back to

the beach. Let me see that.

No! Let go of me! Let go!

Hey, listen to me.

I'm an EMT. Okay?

I don't care who you are.

If you let me take a look,

I can help you. Let's get

her down. I need to go, okay?

'Cause he is right behind

me. No! Let me... No!

Hold on. Calm down.

Come here.

Come here, come here.

Let me take

a look at that shot.

Okay. Okay, I'll go down.

You're in shock, okay?

I'll go down.

Calm down. Calm down.

Okay, and there's

going to be help...

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Get her, get her.

Put her down. Listen to me! You're safe!

Calm down.

He was right behind

me just a minute ago.

You don't understand.

Who are you talking about?

He...

Gina?

You feeling better?

Huh?

Hey!

Hey!

Relax. Relax. We need

to go right now, okay?

Do you hear me?

She's a friend of my wife. She has

a little issue with crystal meth.

Okay? Normally

she's pretty functional,

but obviously

this ain't normal.

He killed my Nicko!

Come on!

He wants to be us!

That's what he wants, okay?

Him and his girlfriend

want to be us!

She's iced out of her mind right

now. I mean it's been a whole...

Look, look, look,

look. Come here.

No. No, no, no.

Don't go by him.

Don't go. Don't go.

Look at this.

I've been finding

these the whole trip.

I think she just got in

over her head this time.

So, I hope we don't have to involve

the police or anything like that.

I mean, I promise I'll

get her back safe, okay?

Don't listen to him!

Don't listen to him!

Look, man, we're

just out here because

someone took off

with two of our boats.

The last thing we want is to get

involved in somebody else's mess.

Okay. Cool.

Right?

Yeah, right.

Cool.

Except...

Except what?

You know, it's just that I don't

get why her pupils are normal

and yours are

the size of olives.

Guys, that was

a perfectly good story.

F***! Count your

f***ing shots! Gina, hey!

No way.

Nicko.

How many people?

Enough to get good at it.

I bit

my tongue. I hate that.

That's going to stop

hurting in a second.

Oh, why, Nick?

You think this is it, huh?

Bad guy buys it,

crowd goes nuts.

You know what I hate about that

ending, aside from it being clich?

It's your version of

reality, pallie. Not mine!

It would feel so good to squeeze

that trigger right now, wouldn't it?

Yeah.

But you kill me,

you kill yourself.

This is

the Hawaii County Police.

You ain't

going to do that.

Weapons down.

Put your weapons down!

You've got

too much to live for.

You've got

too many attachments.

You're just too soft! Here, kitty,

kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

It's the guy standing

with the weapon, correct?

He is the one you

told us about, correct?

The area is closed.

All trails are blocked.

Come on, Nick!

Come on! Do it!

I said drop all weapons.

If you don't kill me,

I'll just come back!

These f***ing idiots

can't keep me locked up!

Hey, hey!

One year from today.
