A Simple Plan Page #4

---

Look, I can't drive

out there right-

Jacob?

Jacob?

Hey, what are you

doing here?

Look out!

Ha ha ha ha ha.

What the hell'd you

drag me out here for?

Listen to this.

I'm gonna buy it back.

I'm gonna fix it up.

I'm gonna rebuild it

Just like it was

before mom and dad died.

Whoa, whoa. Come on, wait, wait.

We've been through all this.

We've been over this.

Once we split up the money,

we've gotta leave.

We have to go.

What do you-what do

you want me to do,

Just like that, just

drive off by myself?

Well, I mean,

suppose you stay.

Where are you gonna tell

people you got the money?

Oh, that's easy.

We just tell people

that Sarah

Inherited some money.

It's easy.

Nobody around here knows

anything about her family.

You guys coulda just

bought the farm, you know,

And then left me to run it.

It's not gonna work.

I thought this was

gonna make you happy.

Jacob...

Farming? Come on.

You don't just buy a farm.

You gotta-you gotta work it.

You gotta know

about machinery and seed.

I know that.

No, you don't.

Fertilizers, pesticides,

herbicides,

Drainage, irrigation,

the weather?

Come on, you don't know

about any of that stuff.

You're gonna end up

just like dad.

Why do you think he

ended up like that?

I'll tell you how he

ended up like that.

He had 2 mortgages riding

on the place.

He couldn't make the payments.

Where do you think

the money went?

He was a bad businessman.

Where do you think

the money went?

No, you think he spent

it all on the farm?

I'll tell you exactly

where the money went.

4 years of college, bud.

Yeah, didn't you ever think

about how he paid for that?

Didn't that ever

occur to you?

No, my tuition was-

Listen, I'm supposed

to get the farm!

What do I get?!

I'm supposed

to get the farm.

You got-you got

the whole world. You can...

I don't wanna hear that.

You can go anywhere

you want.

This is what I want.

This is-this is where

I wanna be.

It's my home, Hank.

Sh*t.

Hey, honey.

What?

I wanna show you

something.

What is it?

I got this.

I had it sent over

from the other branch.

Look. Here it is.

"heiress's body ID'd by feds. "

$4.4 million ransom.

You see? This person

nobody knows

Has just disappeared

right into thin air.

Do you recognize one

of them from the plane?

I can't tell.

His face was...

What?

This changes it.

Why is that?

We can't say it isn't

stealing anymore.

Well, Hank, it's

always been stealing.

We just didn't know who

we were stealing from.

We thought it was drug money.

We thought it was money

that we could find-

No, you thought that.

This is good.

I'm glad-

It's good?

Yes, it's good we know

where it's from,

Because I was starting

to get worried.

I thought that it might

be counterfeit or marked.

It might still be marked.

No, it says right here.

Look. Denomination

in unmarked bills.

Unmarked.

You see?

You're just being

paranoid, Hank.

It's over. It's good.

Man:
Sarah?

Would you

come here, please?

Sure. OK. Just a second.

I'll see you tonight.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Jesus.

Hey, come on, Hank.

Open up.

What the hell

are you doing?

Hey, Mr. Accountant.

Well, I've come to make

a tiny withdrawal.

Go home. Turn around

and go home right now.

Oh, come on, it's

freezing out here, Hank.

Shh! Keep it down.

Invite me in.

All right,

just for a second.

I don't have time

for this sh*t.

I gotta get up

and go to work.

I want my share.

What?

I do. I want my share.

I don't have the money here,

And even if I did,

I wouldn't give you any.

Oh, come on, now.

Look, just because

you have it

Doesn't mean it's yours.

Part of that is my money.

Part of it might be

your money...

If we decide to keep it.

The plan was to sit

on the money

Till we decide that

it's safe to keep it.

Why are you coming over here

with this sh*t?

All right, look.

I'll tell you what.

Just give me

one packet, OK?

Just one packet.

And I'll come back

later for the rest.

Ask me again, and I'll go

burn it tomorrow morning.

Is that clear?

Bluff.

What?

It's a bluff.

B-l-u-f-f.

Oh, then why don't you

call it then

And just see what happens?

Yeah.

All right. OK.

See, Jacob told me

A little secret,

mister accountant.

I know what happened

to Dwight Stephanson.

You drank too much.

I want one

of those packets.

Well, I told you,

I don't have the money here,

And I hid it away

from the house.

Mm-hmm. Well,

you know what?

It'd be a shame

if somebody

Was to drop a note

to Carl Jenkins

Saying there

might just be

A little something

suspicious about

Dwight Stephanson's

accident.

He just drove off

that bridge?

Do you believe that?

Do you?!

Come on. Jesus, Lou.

Remember, you're a thief, too.

We're all in this together.

If one of us goes to jail,

we all do.

Oh, God.

I need my share, Hank.

I do.

I'm broke...

And I owe people money.

Christ, Lou,

I mean wh-wh...

I need some

help here, man.

OK, just wait here.

Here, here.

$40?

That's all I got.

Maybe I can go to the bank

And get you a loan out

of our savings.

Look, look, look.

The money's a day's drive

from here.

Even if I wanted go get it,

I can't go get it,

Not till Sarah

has the baby.

A day's drive?!

Yeah, that's right.

I put it in a storage locker

above the interstate.

What the hell is it

doing in a storage-

Shh! It's safe.

Don't worry, all right?

I didn't want it near us

In case we come under

any suspicion.

How the hell's

that gonna happen?

How's that gonna happen?

How about Carl knowing

about the plane, huh?

Who's idea was that?

Yeah.

All right.

But we go get it as

soon as she's done,

Split it up

right there... right?

Yeah.

Hank...

Hey. I said whoa.

I'm looking

for Hank and Sarah.

I'm sorry.

Oh, God,

look at this.

Jacob:
Hello.

Do you have a car seat

In the car you'll be

traveling home in?

Yes.

Yes.

Is it currently

installed?

Hello, look who's here

Bearing tidings and gifts

and great joy.

Would you sign here?

Sure.

What do you mean

"gambling"? Where?

At the casino.

He lost some money.

How much?

I don't know

how much.

Shh. Hey,

congratulations.

Woman:
Thank you.

Congratulations.

Did you see that

little baby?

It looked like

a little tomato.

How could you have

told him that, huh?

I put myself out for you.

What do you do,

you betray me?

What are you

talking about?

What am I talking about?

It's like

there's 2 sides now.

Why are you both always

talking about sides?

There's no sides.

Who's talking about sides?

I'm on both of your sides.

We're all in this

together, man.

If you had to pick right now,

who'd it be?

No, I don't-why would

I wanna pick?

No, I wanna know-

me or Lou?

Good grief, man. I...

I'd pick you.

You're my brother.

I bou-I bought

a present for the baby.

OK-ok, I-I brought it

from the house.

I didn't buy it, but, look,

it's-it's kinda cool.

Just trust me on this one.

You're gonna

like it, I think,

When you see what it is.

Thanks.

God, it's used.
