Big Trouble Page #8

---

It's too late! In 25 seconds,

the whole place is gonna blow up.

- The whole place!

- Everybody I know has worked here!

- Len, let's go.

- Don't touch me!

You bastards, this is

the executive bathroom!

It's in here, guys. The timing device

is here! I got it! I got it! I got it!

Oh, God. Oh, God, it's still ticking.

Get back, get back, Steve.

Goddamn, it's ticking. It's ticking.

- Len?

- It's ticking. It's ticking!

We're not in the clear yet.

It's ticking, guys!

Look out! Run for your lives!

- Help me break it! Help me break it!

- Get him up!

I got it! Nothing to fear now.

Thank God for you police.

You really saved our lives.

What are you talking about?

I'm a civilian.

Look, I'm not looking for any glory here,

but I rounded up, single-handed...

...about 10 guys with a weapon.

No, I'm just gonna stay.

I'm just gonna stay here.

You don't know

what the hell's going on here.

He's Len Hoffman.

He saved the whole thing.

- Little panicky now.

- What do you think you're doing?

- Think he needs medical treatment?

- I can understand.

What he went through. Unbelievable.

Do you think he needs treatment?

- No, we'll take care of him. He'll be fine.

- He'll be fine?

- Yeah, sure.

- Just gonna sit down.

- What is your name, sir?

- You don't know how close we all came.

The terrorists here in the building came

all the way down, followed...

Your name! Your name, sir!

Your name.

- I'm Steve.

- Steve?

- Yeah.

- Just plain Steve?

Steve Rickey. Nice to see you.

- Oh, right, Rickey, Rickey.

- Right.

The blond lady downstairs told

us about you. These guys are clear.

- Blanche.

- Yeah. She's okay. Everything's okay.

- You don't know how close we all came.

- We'll read about it in the paper.

- These are all terrorists.

- Okay, let us through, let us through.

You shouldn't be here, sir.

Still very dangerous.

- We're not sure of anything yet.

- I know who did this.

We have them around the corner.

Up against the wall.

- I hope you throw the book at them.

- You know them?

- Yes, I know these people.

- You do know these people?

- I think so, yes.

- Okay, let's take a look.

- Get out of the way!

- Coming through.

- How dangerous are these people?

- A bunch of bums.

Good job, men.

Okay, turn them around.

Hey, turn around.

Okay, Winslow.

You wanna look at these people?

- Oh, my God.

- Is that them?

I don't know them.

My God, chief, thank you.

Thank you. You saved the company.

Literally saved the company.

We didn't do nothing.

It was over when we got here.

But your security man,

Mr. O'Mara, saved the day here.

- O'Mara?

- That's right.

- Who the hell is O'Mara?

- Where is he?

He's in charge of security.

Right this way, sir. I'll show you.

Are you all right?

You had a full night.

Soon you'll be in a nice bed.

Here's Mr. O'Mara, sir.

O'Mara, I just don't know

how to thank you.

- Don't thank me, sir. Thank him. He did it.

- I think we're all entitled to a reward.

Leonard?

Hoffman. I'll do anything.

Ladies and gentlemen, would you

kindly join us at the seats, please?

The concert is about to begin.

I'm very happy to be a part of this

little sendoff for Len Hoffman's boys.

Tomorrow they'll be on a plane

for New Haven, Connecticut...

...and four years of Yale.

You know, I've always felt

in America that cream rises to the top.

Whether it's already the top,

in the case of my own family...

...or from our great middle class,

as represented by Len Hoffman.

This guy will say anything.

These fine boys prove that hard work,

determination and integrity...

...always reaps rewards. So, boys...

...if music be the food of love,

play on.

Hard work.

Sometimes things... Sweetheart?

Sometimes things just work out right.

- Leonard. May I ask you something?

- Not now.

Do you regret meeting me?

What I'm really asking you, Leonard, are

we gonna be together after the concert?

Please, please, let me

just hear what's going on.

Leonard, are we gonna go on

and do something together...

...or are you going back to her?

Steve, just the way things

have been right along.

Things are gonna stay the way they are.

I look back on this week...

...as a psychotic episode in my life.

Psychotic episode.

Psychotic episode.

Steve, I'm envious of the boys.

That should be me up there.

Was this a psychotic episode?

I mean, I can understand that you enjoy

sending the boys to college...

...but how long can that enjoyment last?

I mean, what about tomorrow?

We're going to New York.

I got an idea for a Broadway show.

- We'll use the boys playing Mozart.

- People are trying to listen...

No, see, this is what we do.

We go to Graham, get more money...

...maybe open five or six shows.

- I'm not gonna tell you again.

It's wonderful.

Broadway.

No problem, no problem.

All right, everybody down.

Down, sweetheart. Down. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Keep playing, fellas. That's it.

- Sit down. Sorry.

- You sit down. You just sit down.

- You too. Sit down.

- Evidence of this day.

No problem.

Leonard's back.

- Evidence.

- Shut up.

I understand. I understand, Len.

I understand.

Len's back. Leonard's back.

This is a hell of a party.
