Aaah!

Why don't we get

underneath the bench?

Do you want to get on top?

You check the office.

I'll scope the dressing rooms.

Right.

You're on top.

- Did you want to be on top?

- Oh, no.

I'm fine where I am.

Sure.

Ow, ow, ow.

I think he went

to the back.

Evening.

Nice.

Excellent.

Hey, you got a tattoo?

No, sir.

- Not you, a**hole!

- I'm a missing person.

The whole town

is looking for me.

- You hidin' out?

- Yes.

I'd appreciate it

if you'd let us sit up.

- What about the tattoo?

- I don't have one.

- You owe me a buck.

- Actually, it's up to two.

I borrowed that one

off you at Burger King.

Excuse me!

Are you planning to shoot us

in the back of the head?

We haven't decided yet,

have we?

Who are you?

Ah... you don't

want to know.

Wouldn't have asked if

he didn't want to know!

- He's a little crazy. He's my brother.

- That's not true.

She doesn't even know me.

- Somebody better start

talking straight here.

- That's the truth.

Okay.

You want to know?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, good. But...

come on over here.

- What?

- Come on over.

Come on over here!

Over here.

Come on down here.

That's right.

Down here!

Okay.

You dumb sons of b*tches!

Do you realize

that you have just walked...

straight into a $60-million

drug transaction?

You're running this multi-zillion-dollar

drug transaction by yourself?

- Little Target boy?

- No.

No, I'm not

doing it by myself.

Oh, no, no.

As a matter of fact,

in about 10 minutes...

this place is gonna

be alive with the meanest,

ugliest, most impatient animals

you guys have ever seen.

I'll give you five minutes

to take...

whatever you want

in the whole store.

I won't tell.

Take your guns and go.

Okay, then,

who's the girl?

- I'm his hostage.

- Yes. Yes. Yes.

Is that true?

Hmm?

Yes!

Yes, it's true.

And, um...

if the deal doesn't go down,

she becomes pig feed.

Bullshit.

Oh, really?

- Well, blow her away.

- That's bullshit!

Okay.

Then give me your guns

and I'll do it for you.

It's bullshit, right?

We'll see.

Roll over.

- You heard him.

- What?

Roll over!

You too, honey.

You heard me.

Roll over. Do it!

Come on, come on!

Roll! That's it.

- Very good.

- Mmm! Yeah.

Um... give me the guns!

No way, man.

Uh-uh.

Fine.

You do it.

I don't need her anymore.

- I only needed her

to get through customs.

- I don't like this.

This sucks.

It's not worth it.

- We don't have time. Do it!

- All right.

It's nothing personal.

- Jim!

- Too late. They're here!

It's too late.

They're here.

Men, hold your fire.

Ned, Tommy,

hold your fire.

There are infrared scopes

trained on your heads.

- We didn't want this!

- It's the girl you want, not us!

Ned, we got a WD-40.

That's right, a full-scale PMS.

Okay, everybody just relax!

Everybody, just relax!

The place is gonna blow.

Just relax.

Now, put down your guns.

They're putting down the guns.

Are you putting them down?

Get down 'cause

lives are at stake.

Let go. Now get back.

Get back. Spread 'em.

Spread the legs. Put down the dogs.

Okay, put the dogs down.

Both of 'em!

Put the dogs down!

Down!

- That was great!

- I got a surprise for you guys.

We have a bit

of a surprise for you.

Them guns aren't loaded.

I got an idea.

How about a truce?

I'm full of sh*t.

You're full of sh*t.

Everybody at one time

is full of sh*t.

I'll throw on some corn dogs

and we'll get to know each other.

I'd like to know what

goes on inside your heads.

- Okay, you had the big one...

- No.

Sorry. I could've sworn

you had the big one.

Ha!

I lied.

These are the men that

killed that guy in Saltburg.

I'm fairly sure

that we're gonna die.

I'm disappointed we're not

going to California together.

We're not dead yet.

Pretty darn close.

If I can get them

to take me with them,

maybe I can get away

and come back for you.

We need a car and

they obviously have one.

Just...

- go along with whatever I do.

- Okay.

So, what's the word

on you two?

Are you married?

Obviously...

you're hack crooks if you can't

pull off a discount store job.

What were you planning

to steal? Hair spray?

Sorry.

Lady, you got a job?

No.

Then don't knock ours.

Crime isn't a job.

It's a sickness.

Whoops. Anyone

have some change?

You look like a lady

in need of a quarter.

I might need more

than just a quarter.

- You know...

- No.

You and I could make

a lot of money.

Honey, me and Nestor are partners.

- We don't need a third.

- You don't know, so shut up.

Hop on.

Now.

Let's go now.

Know what you are?

Yeah.

You are one good-looking

ball of trouble.

Good.
