I will not abandon you.

- I will never abandon you.

- Testify to that!

Trust me, Larry.

I won't abandon you.

I will not abandon you!

Get out of here!

I will not abandon you.

Hold your fire.

I don't think he's

going to abandon you.

You did it.

We work well together.

I'm glad to be

on your side, Larry.

God, am I glad

to be on your side.

OK, you ready for the final

part of the plan?

The final part.

What's it?

- You give up.

- What?

That's the final part

of the plan? I give up?

What kind of plan is that?

Christ, I just

let everyone go!

It builds to that, Larry.

I'm trying to help.

Turn yourself in.

Does that sound better?

- That's crazy!

- No, you're crazy.

That's what ties

the whole plan together.

You see, Larry?

That ties it together.

You're crazy, Larry.

You were crazy the moment

you passed through that door.

You left sanity

on the other side.

You came into

the twilight zone then...

because you came in here

nuts, crazy,

Loco en cabeza,

you know what I'm saying?

And you know why?

'Cause Donna.

The I-love-you-f***-you-jerk

Donna makes you nuts.

She makes you crazy.

And it's not just Donna

that makes you crazy.

It's love that

makes you crazy, Larry.

And you know what?

Harry will get you...

one of those

motherf***er lawyers...

one of those lawyers

who got Oliver North off.

One of those guys who can

get off Bernard Goetz...

Hinckley, they'll tell him

that you were crazy.

And Donna didn't just

make you crazy...

love made you crazy, Larry.

Love got you nuts.

He'll tell that to the jury...

he'll go, "Larry

was made nuts by love. "

And what member of the jury...

whether it's a guy

or it's a woman...

who will not say, "Hey,

love does make you crazy. "

Love makes you crazy.

They're going to let you walk.

And I'll tell you

something else, Larry.

I'm gonna be by you

every step of the way.

It's going to be you

and Joey O'Brien.

'Cause I'll get the lawyer,

make sure Harry pays...

and get you out of this...

because your problem

is my problem.

You know what I'm saying?

What do you say, Larry? Deal?

Come on. I haven't steered

you wrong yet, have I?

Be a guy, Larry.

Time to be a guy.

A no-sh*t guy.

Mason here.

We're coming out

of our own free will.

All right. We'll

play it straight.

Pay, sir. You pay.

He'll pay. Don't worry.

They're coming out.

Walters, they're coming out.

Let me know

when they're at the door.

Stay ready!

They're coming out!

Stay on them!

Stay awake!

Prizzi, Tony!

Watch that opening.

They're coming out!

It's gonna be all right,

gonna be OK.

Lar, why don't you

put the gun down now?

No. Everybody's

out there watching.

If I come out without a gun,

they'll think I'm a wimp.

I don't want to be a wimp.

Larry, no way you're

going to be a wimp.

Lose the gun, huh?

They won't respect

me without a gun.

- They're cops.

- Larry, they're cops.

They're gonna be real nervous

if you come out with...

Well, they got guns.

Makes me nervous.

Larry, come on.

Look, hey...

I don't have a gun,

it's gonna make me nervous.

Now come on, lose the gun.

Larry, please.

For me, please.

I tell you what I'll do.

I'll take the bullets out.

That's a very nice

gesture. Thanks.

I don't want you to get hurt.

You're like... a friend.

Thanks for thinking about me.

But if you really don't

want me to get hurt...

- you'd lose the gun.

- I'm not losing the gun.

- Can I have the bullets?

- Why?

Souvenir. A little memento.

It's empty.

Forty-eight hun gao I had?

Forty-eight!

I had a shrimp boat.

He had a shrimp boat.

He had a shrimp boat.

I didn't see no hun gao.

I think you trickster maybe!

He had a shrimp boat!

I'm gonna call the police.

You're going to call the police?

Give me a divorce!

You'll get it! At least

if you're with somebody...

have a man

with his own business.

Do you want a divorce?

Tell me, what do you want?

I want to go to Florida.

All right. Let's go.

Joey, thanks for talking to me.

Thanks for simplifying

my love life.

Let's go, huh?

They got TV cameras out there.

We gotta dress up a little.

We can't come out

looking like this.

"Live at five," you know?

Jacket.

It's a sale day.

I ain't walking out

looking like this.

Let us get through

to take care of her.

I think we should get you

to the hospital.

I'm not leaving as long

as my husband's in there.

- Just keep calm.

- Hey, get out!

This is not hun gao.

That doesn't say hun gao.

You don't know

how to read Chinese!

Well, that doesn't say hun gao!

Hold on.

This doesn't look

like a no-sh*t guy.

How am I doing here?

There you go. That's it.

All right. Here goes nothing.

Right, especially in that gun.

I better keep this to your head.

That looks crazy.

They're stopped at the door.

They're coming out!

Let's go.

Where you going?

Come back here!

Wait.

You've got an empty gun there.

This is crazy.

Right. That's the plan.

I'm crazy.

Right. When we get out there...

I want you to drop the

gun when I tell you, OK?

- Keep the gun pointed at me.

- Why?

Better me than at the cops.

You ready, Lar?

We're coming out!

Don't shoot!

That stuff you've got

strapped to your bike...

it's safe?

It's OK.

If a cop gets blown up

trying to defuse it...

our plars down the toilet.

It's OK.

It ain't real.

What? You're saying

all that stuff...

about buying plastique

in Jersey, that's bullshit?

This is just

my TV remote control.

That's pretty funny, Larry.

Let's go, Larry.

You are crazy.

What am I talking about?

Get back!

Stay with me, Larry.

Come on, Larry.

You're doing good.

Stay with me. Come on.

You're doing good.

Get back!

Oh, sh*t.

I'm ordering you...

release your captive!

Keep up with me, Larry.

Drop the gun, Larry!

No! Don't shoot!

It ain't loaded!

I got the bullets! It's

just a TV channel changer!

There's no bomb!

Stay down!

- What happened?

- Shut up!

I got the bullets!

What are you, nuts?

Let him go!

I'm Captain Mason.

You're Mason?

You lying sack of sh*t!

- What?

- You lying motherf***er!

Get back!

I talked him down

and hid the bullets!

- You have Stockholm Syndrome!

- What are you talking about?

It's when you start feeling

sorry for your captor!

The guy had a gun and a bomb!

- It was a TV channel changer!

- He could have hurt you!

Move it!

Get the stretcher.

Come on, let's go!

Give these guys some room!

We'll take it from here.

Thank you, Joey.

Thank you for everything.

I'm never gonna

forget you for this.

I want you to know,

you got a job for life.

Not just me, OK?

Benny, Henry, the whole gang.

- We'll take Henry, but...

- I'm through negotiating!

You got it!

Thanks for taking care

of my kid.

- He told me what you did.

- It was nothing, Tony.

Well, that's what

you owe me, Joey. Nothing!

- Let's go!

- Move!

What happened?

You're gonna be OK!

I'll see you through

every goddamn step.

You hear me, Larry?

Joey, you OK?

I'm OK.

You're crazy, Larry.

He's crazy!

Get him out of here.
