Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya #

I'm not helping you

load your car.

Think again, boy.

You're not taking the

stolen merchandise out.

- I'm not gonna let you.

- Get out.

It's stolen.

All of it!

- Gimme that!

- No!

- Give it to me!

- It's mine!

But where...

Wait a minute.

- You're not going with them?

- Yeah.

You'll be an accessory.

- So?

- You don't know anything about them.

You certainly don't know

anything about him!

These are hardened

criminals here!

That's enough!

Don't waste your time.

You could get a hernia.

If my foot could talk,

it'd say, "May I please

go up this geek's ass?"

- Forget him!

- All right.

He's no use to us.

He's built like an oyster.

Listen.

If you tell on us,

I'll kill you.

Fine.

Jim?

Don't be an ass.

Okay, Jimbo?

Let's go, shall we?

Ahem.

C'mon, come on!

You got it?

I got 'em, I got 'em.

That wasn't a store robbery.

That was an assassination.

That wasn't a clerk.

That was a wise guy.

How do I know?

I spent a little time...

with the FBI's

organized crime unit.

I'm intimately knowledgeable

with the seedy...

workings of the Mob in the

midwest section of this country.

I know a gangland slaying

when I see one,

and that's exactly

what this baby is.

I'd look into it

myself personally,

but I got a date tonight.

Attention, Target shoppers.

Jim?

He is so cool!

# Lookin' like the devil

on a Friday night #

# Got a shark outside

in the swimming pool #
