"Where soars the Silver Surfer,

there must he soar alone."

It's sad.

Why does he have to soar alone?

It's a long story.

He never stops thinking about her.

He doesn't forget. Listen to this.

"I have seen the birth of planets

and the death of worlds."

"I have seen galaxies crumble

and new suns aborning."

"But in every star, in every sun,

I see her face!"

Hey, what are you doin'?

Trying to shut my eyes very tight,

so everything goes black.

But it never gets completely black.

You know, you said I was afraid.

It's true.

I'm afraid because I'd like you to love me.

And then of... I don't know.

I wish you wouldn't love me.

You don't fit into my plan for my life.

Well, you're just going to have

to change those plans, darlin'.

Anyway, don't worry about it.

I don't love you the way

you think I do, anyway.

How do you love me?

Not the way you think.

You don't know what I think.

Yes, I do.

You don't know

what I'm thinking about now.

Yes, I do.

I might be pregnant, Jesse.

- Did you see a doctor?

- Tomorrow.

Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! A little muchacho for you and me!

Maybe.

It's not for sure.

... 1961 MGB Roadster. Colour pink.

- How long's the car been here?

- We don't know yet.

You don't know? Find out! Ask!

There's three freeways nearby.

He could be long gone.

Nah, he ain't gone. He's around here

somewhere. I can smell him!

- No!

- Yes!

- No!

- Yes!

So many cars in your business.

Hey, where's my favourite dress?

Isn't a woman allowed

to change her mind?

I feel so free with you.

Come on.

Let's just go, sugar. Let's just go.

Please, Jesse.

I can't be late for this meeting.

All right! Come on, baby!

Say it! Talk to me, baby! Say it!

Mexico!

Let's go to Mexico and have a baby!

We'll see.

Try to understand me, Jesse.

I have to think about the future.

The future? Yeah. I heard about it.

Never seen it.

- Sounds like bullshit to me.

- Stop calling what I wanna do bullshit!

What you do is bullshit, too!

Bullshit it is! The future's Mexico!

Say it. Mjico.

Mjico! Mjico!

How long is this

hole-diggin' shindig gonna last?

About an hour.

There is a sidewalk caf down the way.

Why don't you meet me there?

I'll be there, baby.

Officer! I saw this man

drop that girl off over there.

Morning, ma'am!

Hello, Paul.

Dr Boudreaux, meet Monica Poiccard.

This is the student I told you about.

It's a great honour, Dr Boudreaux.

Sir, she's the best candidate

for a fellowship I've ever seen.

- To work with me? Why?

- Everybody says you're a genius.

That's true. So?

Well, I want to learn

to make buildings that last.

Don't be foolish. Nothing lasts.

- Birnbaum?

- Yeah.

Jack Burns.

Oh, yes. Mr Burns.

Yeah, I left a message for you

this morning. You get it?

Yes, Mr Burns.

Mario sent me.

Yes, Mr Burns!

Move over here.

I wanna run it up to the office.

- Did anybody call about me?

- Yes, they called, Mr Burns.

They said you were gonna bring

a foreign job, not a T-bird.

I know, I know.

That one didn't work out for me.

- So? Nu?

- So what about this one?

It's a classic. Perfect paint job.

One of a kind. Unique. Cream puff. Cherry.

- 1200.

- Deal.

You got one problem.

I won't be able to give you

the money till next week.

You fat f***!

What about you, Mr Jack Burns?

What time is it? Five o'clock yet?

- I got ten after five.

- Where's the phone?

Wait a minute.

Too many old prunes in this picture!

We need some flowers.

- Monica, come with us.

- Me?

- Great. Looks like you're in.

- OK! That's more like it!

- Where?

- Next to the picture.

Oh, this is better. Who is she?

- Look this way!

- Smile, honey!

Big smile! Here we go! That's nice!

- Know this punk?

- No!

You were seen with him 20 minutes ago.

He had his hand on your ass

and his tongue down your throat!

Come on. You wanna talk with me.

- Hey, who are you?

- A cop looking for a cop-killer.

Stay out of it, junior.

Still wanna tell me you don't know him?

No... I mean...

- It's Jesse.

- Jesse what? Jesse Lujack?

- Where is he now?

- I don't know!

You don't know? Listen, listen. Listen!

Don't F-U-C-K with the LAPD!

Please! He's just a guy I've seen

four or five times!

I met him in Las Vegas.

I don't know anything about him!

Ma'am, after he dropped you off,

where'd he go?

I don't know, I tell you!

She's lying. Book her!

- What's the charge?

- Suspicion.

He's going away.

Today sometime. San Francisco.

He's going to San Francisco.

He knows a man in San Francisco, a man

who owes him money, and Jesse's...

- The name. What's the name?

- Lewis.

Berrutti's gone? Yeah, of course

I'll meet him. Yeah... Garage, downtown.

Yeah. Got it. 8.30.

You're wasting your time.

I keep the moolah in the cooler.

- Advance me 500.

- No.

No!

Read my lips...

Read my lips, fat-ass!

I can sell this car to 50 other guys!

- Hey, Pancho, where's the jumper?

- Don't ask me, man. Ask the boss.

OK, Birnbaum. Don't f*** with me!

Why don't you take a walk, punk?

- You stole my jumper, scumbag!

- What are you gonna do? Call the cops?

OK! I can't breathe!

It's in my shorts, OK? It's in my shorts!

The moolah's in the cooler!

This is for my taxi, you little tar!

Hey, boss, what's goin' on?

Are you all right?

Do I look all right, d*ckhead?

Get him! Get that f***!

Over there, you bean-head! That way!

Just don't turn around.

No, sweetheart. Don't turn around.

There's a cop...

- This guy killed a cop?

- I don't know.

- No, hey. You can tell me. Did he?

- I don't know.

You're in love with him?

- Are you in love with him?

- I don't know!

Oh, Jesus Christ! What do you mean

you don't know? Are you young?

Look, do you know what you're doing?

Let's say he's around here.

If he's here, you'll lead the cops to him.

Want every cop in the world here?

Wait! This is that crazy man from

the classroom? The lunatic that broke in?

What is this? You're crazy!

Monica, do you understand that you

can ruin your life with a guy like this?

It's not like that. You don't know.

- What?

- You don't know me.

No, I guess I don't, I guess.

Listen, Paul. I wish I had time

to explain, but I have to go.

I'm sorry.

Monica!

Monica, if you ever need

a place to hide out or anything.

What's going on?

Monica!

Ain't you happy to see me, sugar?

You! Police!

I see you! I'm talking to you!

Don't try to pretend!

Why are you following me?

Because you are looking

for a tremendous amount of trouble!

I didn't do anything.

Your boyfriend just killed a cop

and you know where he is.

- So you might as well tell us.

- He's gone to San Francisco!

- You gonna get deported?

- That's my girl!

- I told you the truth! He's gone!

- Let me tell you the truth!

You don't play ball with us,

you're on the next Concorde outta here!

We're trying to help you,

but you gotta start helping us.

We got a witness who saw you

with Lujack an hour ago.

He must be around here somewhere.

When did you last see him?

Jesus!

Hey! You!

You comin' or not?
