Hey, Mr. Y.

If you don't mind,

that is the loveliest necklace.

It's so pretty. Where did you get it?

I don't speak English.

He insulted my date, Nadia!

- Oh, my God.

- Go back to your seat.

- She can't talk?

- They're our guests.

- I just asked about the necklace.

- You are foolish and silly.

- Leaving so soon? Sit.

- Go jump on your concubine.

Did you hear her? I have no concubine.

Walter, get this woman out of here!

No, no. Don't do that.

Why don't you walk

over there, Nadia? Here.

Oh, take it to her.

I hope this doesn't undermine

your confidence in us.

- I worked very hard for this job.

- We can sort...

- What's going on out here?

- Oh, my God.

- Please, come back to the restaurant.

- Mrs. Gruen, hi.

Mrs. Yakamoto.

- She doesn't speak English.

- Just get out of here!

Mrs. Yakamoto, I have your hair.

I'm going to just

slip it under the door.

Got it?

I'll tell your husband

you'll be out in a minute.

Don't take that

concubine stuff from anybody.

- I no speak English!

- You a California resident?

- I no speak English!

- Know what you're entitled?

I no speak English!

California law states you're entitled

to 50% of your husband's assets.

Fifty percent?

Mr. Gruen, please. I'm very sorry.

I had no way...

Walter, go away. Just go away.

Bottle of Meyer-Fonn Barsac.

Hors d'oeuvres, on the house?

Sir, I can't begin to tell you

how dreadfully sorry l...

Attention! Attention, everybody!

Mrs. Yakamoto needs

a good divorce lawyer now...

...because Mr. Yakamoto

is worth over $100 million.

- Miss.

- I'll kill her!

Harry...

Don't touch me. Please.

Did you hurt yourself?

Do I have to say the words?

- I'm fired?

- Fired?

I only wish we were in the Army...

...so I could have you shot.

- Yes, sir.

Twice.

That was so much fun!

My face is numb.

What do you wanna do now?

There's a party down the street.

Let's go!

Are you insane? You destroyed my life

and now you want to go to a party?

- You don't like me, do you?

- I've never hit a woman before, but...

- Let's make up.

- That won't work.

- Of course, it will.

- It won't! Now stop it!

- Nadia, I'm driving the car!

- Let's do it! Let's do it right now!

- We're on the freeway!

- Who cares?

I'm driving 55 miles an hour, here!

Will you, for chri...

Stop it!

- Stop, please!

- You're frowning again.

Stop it! For chrissakes,

there's a car behind us!

Gotta do better than that.

Someone's getting out of the car.

Sit over there.

- David!

- What? This is...

- Car trouble?

- You following us?

- I'm worried about her.

- I'm taking her home.

You let her drink? Son of a b*tch,

don't you know she can't drink?

- Nadia, get out of the car!

- Stay in the car.

- Hey, that's a... That's a $500 bra!

- I'm gonna kill you!

You were gonna drill her.

I'll kill you!

Can't we just talk about it?

Honey, stay in the car.

- I'll stay in the car.

- You don't love her like I do!

- I believe you!

- He doesn't love you like I do!

What are you doing?

Get out of my car! Hey!

That son of a b*tch!

I'm gonna kill you too!

Walter, what...

You son of a b*tch, I'll kill you!

Damn bastard!

Jesus, that guy's a maniac.

He was really trying to kill me.

Why'd you break up?

You must be the best match

since Bonnie and Clyde.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

I really am. I...

It was a cheap shot.

- I wasn't crying about that.

- What are you crying about?

I just saw David chasing you

around the car, and I got sad.

Me too.

Do you have a Kleenex?

A handkerchief?

Here.

I hate it when my eyes get all puffy.

I get all stuffed up. I look terrible.

Are my eyes puffy?

Can we stop so I can blow my nose

and wash my face?

I gotta go to the bathroom.

Yeah, sure. Okay.

Thank you.

- Can I help you?

- Fill it with unleaded.

- Super?

- Regular.

Let me say two words:

Engine knocks. Rings and valves,

$900. Check, please.

You can pay me now

or pay my service manager later.

- Fill it with unleaded.

- Super?

The guy wants super.

- She's not in there.

- What?

The girl who came with you?

She's at Freda & Freddie's.

The disco.

Where's the ladies' room?

Thank you very much.

I'm looking for my date.

She's a brunette with a red dress on,

really pretty.

And she came in

the bathroom here and, see...

She was in the bathroom

at the gas station.

She took a long time.

I went to get her and she was gone.

And the gas station guy said...

...that she came in here.

I figured she went into this...

I'll wait right here

at the bar for her, okay?

Bartender, can I get

a Perrier and a soda? I mean...

A Scotch and soda.

Something like that.

Can I buy you a drink?

She had a thing with her ex,

and she got a little emotional.

She started crying and wanted

to stop at a gas station.

So we stopped next door.

She took a long time.

When I went to get her, she'd left.

The guy said she came here.

She probably went into this bathroom.

It wasn't like I was trying to

look in. I was trying to find her.

Come dance with me.

- This is the girl. Right here.

- Five dollars, please.

- I know you're a good dancer.

- No, I really don't wanna dance.

- Stop, it's not funny.

- Come on.

I'm sorry.

Let's just go.

Please. I'm sorry.

All right, you ready for this?

- Let's go now.

- Please, Walter.

- Hi, I just wanted to come by and...

- David, don't...

I came by to apologize.

I still love her very much.

What? So you can drill her?

You son of a b*tch!

You b*tch!

We're leaving. Now!

You son of a b*tch!

Let's go before the cops show up.

Come on, come on!

Move it, move it, move it.

Get in. Get in!

How much?

- Cash or plastic?

- Cash!

It's $12.50.

What's going on over there?

I wanna talk to you.

Get out of the car.

Just get out of the...

Get back inside, you stupid idiot!

Your ex's hobby is killing people.

What's his profession?

- He's a defence lawyer.

- For who? Jack the Ripper?

It's not funny.

I'm taking you home.

Where do your friends live?

They live on Elm and East Hill.

Your friends live

on Elm and East Hill?

No, the party.

I'm not taking you to any party!

Party!

I'm gonna take you home.

To Baton Rouge?

I'm taking you to your friends' house.

Where do they live?

- We have to get on the freeway.

- No! No more freeways.

It's the only way I know

how to get there.

- What's the exact address?

- I know the house.

- I'm getting on the freeway.

- Where's the hole?

But if you make one move...

You listening?

If you make one move

that makes me nervous...

...l'll put you out at the first

intersection. Understand?

Don't frown, Walter.

Here's the house. Right...

Okay, here, stop. Right here.

When was the last time

you saw these people?

About six years.

Listen to me.

Listen. Listen to me.

You absolutely sure this is the house?

Absolutely.

Jesus!

Hey! Stop! Get out of there!

Come here a minute!

Your beautiful car.

Look at the bright side.

What the hell else could happen?

- Nadia, just stay out of this.

- Shut up, b*tch!
