but you are

a big disappointment to me.

Disappointment?

What are you talking about?

Give me the money, Jackson.

What are you talking about?

I got the gun.

- Ha ha ha!

- Where's Imabelle?

Oh, so you're the fool.

If you don't tell me

where Imabelle is...

I will shoot you dead.

Be my guest.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ah ha ha ha ha!

The money, Jackson.

What the f*** is this?

It's play money.

Now, ain't that a dirty trick?

Get your ass outta this car.

Get outta this car!

Now I'm gonna let you hear

what a real gun sounds like.

'Cause guess what? It's gonna be

the last thing you ever hear.

Next time you try

to duck somebody...

take your big-ass foot

off the brake light.

Look, if you guys are the cops,

I want my lawyer, understand?

You want a lawyer? Big Kathy,

didn't you used to be a lawyer?

Ah, sh*t! You son of a b*tch!

That will be $500.

Take us where

you take the marks.

Ah-ah-ah! Stay in the car.

- Where are they?

- Top floor.

Hurry up!

You ever seen such

a sorry-looking bunch...

of cotton-picking farmers

in your whole life?

Mmm mmm mmm!

- Operator.

- Get me the police.

I can smell it like

biscuits and gravy.

Heh heh heh.

You ain't gonna eat

no more supper now?

Yeah.

It's me... Gus. I brought

investors for the gold mine.

Go ahead.

Here we go again.

It's the police, a**hole.

Everybody freeze!

Damn you, Gus!

Freeze right there and shut up!

Imabelle.

Hey! It's that thieving undertaker!

Hey! Come back here! Come here!

Ooh, lordy, lordy!

Where are they?

- Fifth floor!

- Got it!

- What's the matter?

- My little baby toe!

Come on, they're getting away!

Let 'em go!

Come on!

I'm gonna kill somebody now!

What the f*** you looking at?

I'm gonna shoot you first...

anybody makes a strange move,

you got that?

- Eat sh*t.

- Shut up!

All right,

come on, now.

Cooperate,

and we'll go easy on you.

Coffin Ed and Grave Digger

are here!

- Mm-mm!

- Jackson!

- Baby!

- Police! Everybody freeze!

- Hank, acid!

- Aah!

Aaah!

Jackson! Where are you,

so I can shoot you?

- Come on!

- Let's go!

Let's get outta here!

You all right?

Jackson, I told you

to wait in the car!

Back up!

- Hands up!

- Back up!

That's right, Goldy, run!

Straight on up!

Go get the car!

Imabelle!

Shut up, man.

Someday, Goldy! Someday...

I'm gonna kick your ass!

Jackson.

Imabelle!

Imabelle!

Show your hands now, sucker!

Jackson!

Imabelle!

Imabelle!

Jackson!

Imabelle!

Imabelle! I'm coming

to get you, baby!

I love you!

- Jackson!

- I love you, baby!

Jackson, don't jump!

Ohm

Imabelle!

Oh, my God! He made it!

OK! OK! All right!

Imabelle! Imabelle! Imabelle!

Oh, bless you, Jesus!

Ha! I made it!

Jackson! Stop jumping!

Ed! Ed! No, no, no, no, no!

I'm crazy,

but I ain't no damn fool.

Someday, Goldy!

Someday!

Imabelle!

Jackson! Jackson!

What are you trying to do,

kill yourself?

I love her.

All right. But you got anything

against taking the stairs?

Sh*t!

- Taxi!

- Hey!

Taxi!

All right, get your ass out!

Imabelle!

- Imabelle!

- Come on!

Let's go! Let's go!

Come on, Jackson!

I'm gonna leave you!

Hurry up!

Follow that red gypsy cab!

Don't lose 'em!

This way!

There's nobody here. Huh?

- She went this way. I know it.

- You know it?!

What are you listening

to him for?

He's in love.

That way!

This is unbelievable.

- There she is.

- This is unbe...

Let's just go in there

and get her.

Just wait a minute now.

Gotta do this thing right.

See, what we really need

is something big enough...

to carry the gold in.

The hearse.

Your boss's hearse.

I don't care nothing

about the gold.

Hey, we got a deal, remember?

The girl for the gold.

Or you can go up there

by yourself.

All right.

Just give me bullets

for my gun first.

- I'll give you one bullet.

- One bullet?

That's right. One bullet.

Deal?

Deal.

- It's gonna be OK.

- What you saying, baby girl?

I got a hole in my chest.

I need a f***ing doctor!

That's too damn bad.

You got us hot as hell

as it is.

Jodie, you call Easy Money...

see if he can make that meeting

a little earlier.

Imabelle will stay

with the gold.

- Imabelle?

- Imabelle?

Well, she can't do nothing

with it by herself.

What about Gus?

F*** Gus.

Hey, man,

what you talking about?

Pop go the weasel.

Don't you kill him, Slim.

Get the f*** outta the way.

Move!

Ah. Now, let's be kind to Gus.

He is our friend.

Hank, don't kill me, man.

I got no choice, man.

I don't want to die!

We'll take care

of your wife in Jersey.

Gus, baby,

you're giving dying a bad name.

- Come on, Hank, get him!

- I'm doing the best I can, man!

What do you want? Hold him.

- Hold his head down.

- Come on, Hank!

Come on, Gus, die!

Come on, hold him, Jodie!

Everybody happy?

You're just in time.

That's everyone

except Gus and the girl.

Parsons-number six.

Don't make no noise.

This guy is dangerous.

No noise.

No noise.

Yes?

Shh.

Is that you, Imabelle?!

It's me... Jackson, baby!

I've come here to rescue you!

Daddy!

Yeah, you be Daddy.

I'm gonna check the gold!

We gotta go.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God!

I didn't do it, officer.

Jackson!

That ain't no officer.

This is my stepbrother Sherman.

Oh, good.

Then you're just in time...

to help me get

that trunk outta here.

That's just what

we was intending on doing.

And then what was you intending

on doing with it?

Don't worry

about that right now!

I got him under control.

I just want you...

to get outta here

before they come back in.

You go downstairs

and you wait in the hearse.

You take this trunk down,

and we'll be right behind you.

Heh heh heh heh.

What do you mean,

you got me under control?

You ain't got me under control.

You gotta get her

under control. Come on.

Hey, baby girl!

Where you think you going?

Oh, God! Oh, God!

You come here!

Please! No! Aah!

Hold her, Jodie!

You know you hurt me, girl,

when you do this kind of sh*t.

You hurt me deep.

Aah!

Here, here, here.

Let me help you.

Where is she?

- She took off.

- What, she go back in?

Here. I don't...

I don't think so.

Well, she got to be around here

somewhere. Where is she?

She took off up the street.

How about

we come back for her?

I ain't going nowhere.

I ain't leaving her.

I came here to get her.

Jackson. Sh*t!

Did you see that?

- We're not leaving him.

- No, no, no.

You think I'm going

to leave my stepbrother?

I told you we were going

to get that gold, didn't I?

Yeah. Just hurry up

so we can keep it, eh?

I'll get him.

We'll be right back.

- Jackson!

- Jesus.

Jackson, what are you doing?

She's gone... and I love her.

I know that, I know that,

but the gold is back there...

and it's just begging

for trouble.

You don't get the gold

unless I found Imabelle!

I did find you Imabelle.

Well, where is she?

Come on, man.

She don't want to stay found.

Sh*t, she ran away.

Get that into your head, man.

She don't want to be with you.

You don't know nothing
