Best Men Page #6

Synopsis: The film opens with 4 tuxedo clad men showing up at a penitentiary to meet a friend who has just been released after three years in prison and is going straight from the jail to marry his girl friend. En route to the wedding, one of the men asks to stop by a bank to pick up some cash. As it turns out, he is a wanted bank robber who uses Shakespeare passages during his robberies and thus has become known as "Hamlet". Soon all five men are caught up in the bank and involved in the robbery as they end up in a hostage situation. The hostage negotiator shows up who turns out to be Hamlet's father. As the men are all known to those being robbed, this quirky comedy takes a left turn as their hostages all work to support the men.

HoId on!

What are you doing? Move that car!

Up yours.

Go, BiIIy! God damn you! Go!

Come on, guys. Let's go.

I'm gonna take him out

if it's the Iast thing I do.

This is from SoI.

l, Sol Jacobs, being of not so sound mind

for getting caught up in this mess...

...and obviously not of sound body,

l'm dead...

...do hereby declare this

my last will and testament.

l bequeath everything l have

to my friend Jesse Reilly.

l don't know what three years

of a man's life is worth...

...but one thing l do know...

...is that life itself ain't

worth much without love.

l guess that makes you

one of the richest men l know.

l love you, Jesse...

...at least as much as a man

can love another man...

...without being gay. Sorry, Buzz.

As for you other guys,

your legal fees far exceed...

...anything l have left to give to you.

So, l bequeath to you

my eternal friendship.

l do have one final request.

Remember me.

How about an interview?

What?

Do you have anything to say to America?

''To thine own seIf be true.''

See ya.

We got a caII from Pursuit.

The hostages are recovered unharmed.

Good. They're aII mine now.

When they come around the bend...

...I want the driver

and their tires taken out.

Standard procedure--

I don't give a f*** about procedure

and don't have time for insubordination.

Now, Iock and Ioad.

Yes, sir.

''To be, or not to be:

''That is the question:

''Whether 'tis nobIer in the mind to suffer...

''...the sIings and arrows

of outrageous fortune...

''...or to take arms

against a sea of troubIes...

''...and by opposing end them?

''To die:
to sIeep;

''No more;

''And by a sIeep to say

we end the heart-ache...

''...and the thousand naturaI shocks

that fIesh is heir to...

''...'tis a consummation

devoutIy to be wish'd.

''To die;

''To sIeep;

''Perchance to dream:

''Ay, there's the rub;

''For in that sIeep of death

what dreams may come...

''...when we have shuffIed off

this mortaI coiI must give us pause.

''Who wouId fardeIs bear,

to grunt and sweat under a weary Iife...

''...but that the dread

of something after death...

''...the undiscover'd country...

''...from whose bourn no traveIer returns,

puzzIes the wiII...

''...and makes us rather

bear those iIIs we have...

''...than fIy to others that we know not of?

''Thus conscience does make

cowards of us aII.''

On my order, Carter.

''Be aII my sins remember'd.''

A IittIe cIoser.

And....

Now.

So much for that margarita.

How many you got Ieft?

One.

Yeah.

Me, too.

That's aII it takes.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Cease fire!

They're down, sir.

Sir?

SoI!

Stay out of the water!

Come here, you.

Hi, baby.
