Hey! Ah, typical.

what's going on here,

alright, but I do know you're coming

with me. End of story. C'mon.

- I'll drive.

- Over my dead body.

- You drive the way you gamble.

- You gamble the way an old lady drives.

Hey, uh, you kids aren't in too much

of a hurry, are you now?

I guess not.

Let's go.

Get in the car.

Careful!

Come on, Get in the car. What have

you gotten yourself into this time?

Trust me, you

don't wanna know.

- That bad, huh?

- Worse.

- They friends of yours?

- Can't you tell?

- This ain't gonna be good.

- No kidding.

I love carpooling.

What's he doing,

what's he doing?

This is even better

than Fear Factor.

I told you to

let me drive.

- Chuck turn left. Turn left!

- Oh, allow me.

What are you doing?

Get off... Get off...

Get off the car man!

I told you this was

going to be fun.

Chuck! The brakes.

Hit the brakes!

If I hit the brakes

then I'll kill the guy.

In case you haven't noticed,

he's going to kill me.

You got the time Sonny?

Cool.

Find out who she is.

I don't like surprises.

- Surprise.

- He's going to the airport?

They always do.

I'll drive.

Sorry buddy. I'm going to make

it up to you. I promise.

- Who in the hell were they Sonny?

- I can't tell you Chuck, not now.

I'll call you just as soon

as I get a chance.

Thanks for coming to Las Vegas.

Whatever happen in Vegas, stay here.

Don't go getting yourself

killed now, OK?

Trust me. You aren't getting

rid of me that easily.

So you guys like dating

or something?

Man. Get in the car.

Attention, all passengers holding

tickets for flight 1104 to Cleveland

this is your final boarding call.

Please proceed to

gate six, gate six.

I need a, uh, ticket to,

Cleveland. Please.

- Are you part of a group sir?

- No. No group.

Look at this. I think you might be

eligible for a five percent discount.

Lady, do I look like I

need a discount?

What a cutie. Wonder

where he's off to.

Cleveland.

Get out of here. That's where I'm

headed. Lucky me, huh?

I'm sorry. Sir may I see your

boarding pass?

What should we

do now boss?

Find out what plane he's on.

Get Elvis on the tarmac.

Wherever he's going, I want to make

sure we get there before he does.

Looks like he's on his

way to Cleveland.

That's just cruel.

- Nervous about flying?

- Among other things.

That's a nice jacket.

Thanks.

Oh don't worry.

I own a gun shop.

I'm just on my way home

from the convention.

Pick up any new toys?

Christmas came

early this year.

Cool.

I don't mean to be

impertinent boss, but,

tracking devices,

automatic weapons,

sniper rifles, grenade

launchers?

Where's the sportsmanship

in that?

I'm a weapons enthusiast.

My calling is to help the

ballistically-challenged.

Gotcha.

So what brings

you to Cleveland?

Business

or the pleasure, huh?

Jury's still out on that.

If you don't mind me asking,

what do you do with your

weapons when you're flying?

You know, with all the rules they

got going nowadays.

They're under the plane,

with the luggage.

I got a special permit.

Welcome to Cleveland

International airport.

What are you looking at kid?

Come on, go!

I'll take both.

Great.

Enjoy Cleveland,

try not to shoot

anybody I know.

I'll be good.

So how much do

I owe you?

Let's say five hundred bucks

if you toss in the jacket.

I love the smell of Cleveland

in the morning.

Smells like...

Cleveland.

Please do not leave vehicles

unattended in the White loading zone.

All unattended vehicles

Will be toWed.

- Where to?

- Downtown I guess.

You got it.

Any hotels you can recommend.

I'm looking for a low profile place.

This is Cleveland.

Everything is low profile.

Hey, baby-cakes.

Need a ride?

I sure do.

Thanks a lot.

Crazy b*tch!

Come back with my bike!

You're where Sonny?

I don't want to go into it now.

How's your limo?

You mean the hunk of junk

formerly known as my limo?

Sorry about that.

I'll make it up to you.

So how else can I be of

assistance to you today?

Something's wrong. My signal seems to

be moving in two different directions.

- Must be some kind of interference.

- Relax. Breathe.

He's in a taxi.

We got him.

See what you can dig up

on the Tower Casino.

Who runs it, how you become a

member, you know, that kind of thing.

- What, are you thinking about joining?

- Something like that. It's important.

I'll see what I can do buddy.

You have just gone and messed

with the wrong fella, jerkwad.

I love this.

You crazy son of a...

Nice jacket.

- What happened?

- Looks like we got the wrong guy.

Sonny gave away his jacket.

Told you it Was a good idea to use

two tracking devices.

- Are you picking up a second signal?

- Got him.

Target's headed southeast

towards the interchange.

You wanna race?

Should still being the

same pants, right?

Thanks, man. You'll be

hearing from me.

Yeah, that's what

I'm afraid of.

Gotta go.

What the...

Oh I don't believe it.

- Turn!

- What?!

Turn the wheel!

Let go of the wheel!

Come on!

You OK pal?

You just destroyed my cab.

Sorry about that.

Here's ten grand.

I'm good for the rest.

There was fifteen bucks

on the meter too!

How you doin'?

I really appreciate this sir.

Well she sure holds

a lot of memories.

Me and my dear sweet Martha,

God rest her soul.

Sometimes we wouldn't leave

that camper for days.

OK. Well, uh, I'll make sure to bring

her back in one piece.

Makes me feel like a kid again.

I know.

Around.

Is there anyone who doesn't

know I'm in Cleveland?

So much for being a

responsible citizen.

I need like SPF 35 here.

Thank you very much.

Niner, romeo, tango, foxtrot, We got

a bogie at the four o'clock level.

- What?

- Turn around.

Nice one Sonny.

You're right Joseph,

this is kind of fun.

You going somewhere?

Now don't do anything

you're going to regret.

- You got me all the way to Cleveland.

- Not a fan of the Browns?

Don't move.

Stay right where you are.

I thought we were

vibing back in Vegas.

Had some chemistry

going on.

You know you really

are a piece of work.

How much is Salvatore

paying you?

- None of your business.

- Just hear me out for a second.

Look, whatever, whatever he's

offering you, I got more.

- A hell of a lot more.

- Oh really.

I guess that's why you choose not to

pay your debts. Because you're loaded.

- I know how it sounds, but before you...

- Save it.

Catch anything?

Nahh.

Know how

you feel.

- Ouch that hurt.

- Good.

Because the only reason you're

still breathing, is Mr. Salvatore.

He wants the pleasure of finishing

you off himself.

Lucky me, I feel honored.

Oh that doesn't mean I have to bring

you back with all your parts intact.

Because you get any funny ideas,

you'll be limping back to Vegas.

Gotcha.

So what about these goons?

More members of your fan club?

You won't believe

me if I tell you.

Why don't

you try me?

It needs gas!

I'm telling you the truth here, alright.

Maybe this will help convince you.
