Cash Crop Page #3

---

you put my money in...

and tell them you'll be down there today

to pick up that cash. You got it?

What is your total?

$74,316.47.

It's more than the $70,000

that you said, isn't it?

I guess I forgot about

some of the other stuff.

That's perfectly natural.

Everything looks so nice too.

That big-screen TV,

the Range Rover.

It looks really good.

Thank you.

So...

So, $625,761 gross...

minus the $ 74,316.47...

equals...

$551,414.53.

Correct.

$551,414.53...

is the figure we'll

concentrate on.

Got to get all that house

stunning cash back, right?

Ready, Sam?

I only got through

to a couple of them.

That's okay, we can

call them on the way there.

Let's go visit those banks.

That's good.

Go on.

Great.

Next bank.

Well, that was fun, wasn't it?

Leslie...

Go and get your calculator.

Sit down.

Okay.

Subtract these figures

from our running total.

$54,557.

$13,660.

$83,000.

$15,236.

What's that leave?

$268,184.53.

Where's the rest?

We left some with my mother.

With Mommy.

Who could be safer

than Mommies?

You aren't being busy

little bees, are you?

Good job, I got here when I did.

How much?

$265,000.

We sure trust

Mommy, don't we?

So, U$265,000 subtracted

from our new balance of $268,184.53...

leaves $3184.53.

Where does that go?

Low as change, right?

That kind of money goes for candy,

cigarettes, that kind of stuff, right?

We don't smoke.

No?

That's too bad.

You don't mind if I smoke

in the house, do you?

Thank you very much.

Alright,

let's get back to business.

We will add this $3184.53

the $74,316.47 deficit...

We'll already have less the money

you spent before I got here, right?

That comes to what?

$77,501.

It's been a long day.

I'm hungry.

Leslie, why don't you slip into the

kitchen and cook us up a nice meal?

That way, we don't have to go out anymore.

We'll all stay together.

Isn't that something nice?

Go on.

Very good, Leslie.

I liked it.

But what was it?

Eggplant, tofu

and veggie steaks.

Veggie steaks?

We don't eat red meat.

Why not? Scared to

get mad cow disease?

Alright.

I think I'll go and watch

a little big-screen TV.

Then we all better turn in. Going to look

brighter now with your granny tomorrow.

You're sleeping with us?

Is that an invitation?

You know what I mean.

Yes, I know.

You can sleep on the couch.

Thanks.

What have you got us into?

- Me?

- Yes.

Now you point the finger.

That's funny. You didn't mind

spending it yesterday.

I'm calling the police.

Put the phone down.

Put the phone...

Give me that!

Stop it!

Give it to...!

Look, let's just weigh it out.

Okay, if we call the cops now, they'll

ask questions, lots of questions.

That'd be trouble and we'll

lose what little we have left.

Tomorrow he'll be gone, we still

have all the stuff we bought.

Those are pretty cool stuff.

It's not so bad.

No, that is what I was afraid of.

I wish you never found

that goddamn money.

Let's just go to sleep, okay?

- Hi, Mom.

- Hi, honey.

Mom, you know that carton

we left with you?

We need it back.

Honey, you said you needed

it kept safe. I hid it, dear.

That's fine Mom,

but we need it back now.

Really, sweetie, it couldn't

be safer than where it is.

What couldn't be safer?

Well, whatever is in the box, of course.

Go and get it.

Mom, please, go get the box.

Who the hell do you think you are?

I'm one of those people

you'll never meet...

as long as you're a

straight and honest citizen.

Now, what would you have done if we

turned the goddamn money over the police?

But you didn't,

did you, Sam?

So there's no way of ever knowing that.

Hey, come here.

Give it to me.

You took some,

didn't you, Mommy?

- How much did you steal?

- Hey come on, that's enough.

I didn't steal a cent.

- I just borrowed a little.

- Mother.

How much did you borrow?

About $600.

It was a loan!

I needed it! I'm on fixed

income. I was going to put it back!

Mother, we left that with

you for safekeeping.

I just took a little peek, honey.

There was so much.

It wasn't yours!

Well, it wasn't yours either, was it?

Here's a lesson...

when it comes to cash,

nobody can be trusted.

Like mother, like daughter.

Switch the engine off

and give me the key.

Stay put.

Both of you .

Sam, what are we doing?

Sam, what are we doing?

I don't know, Les, alright. I don't

even know what we should be doing.

Do we even have a right here?

I don't know anymore.

Of course we have no right.

He's forcing us to do something

against our will.

Yes, he do, huh.

Coz we are the ones who took the money

you know, we decided to keep it.

We knew it wasn't ours.

Hi, there.

I'm just checking out.

You owe me $58.

We don't give no refund.

What?

No refunds.

I paid you $203 for seven days,

at $29 a day.

I only stayed five days.

You owe me $58 for the

two days I won't be staying.

What, you got sh*t

in your ears, mister?

I said no goddamn refund!

Now get on down the road

before I call the cops.

Next, I'll break your arms, your leg...

and finally your neck.

Now...

just count all the

money you owe me...

and hand it over.

Maybe forgetting something.

What?

You want a receipt?

My day.

What about my day?

Have a nice day?

Good.

I will.

- Thank you.

- Same to you.

Okay.

Let's go.

Leslie?

Okay...

I need to go back out.

But I need you both

to stay in the house.

Can I trust you to do that?

Yes.

Did you see the blood on his shirt?

He took out a guy

in that motel today.

He's crazy.

We got to call the police.

We should have called it yesterday.

We can do it tonight

after he's asleep.

I found them.

How f***ing nice work, bro.

I recovered $547,433.

That's f***ing brilliant, Pyke.

F*** me!

There's more of it.

Really? How much?

- Some $78,298 still outstanding.

- Where is it?

They spent it.

That's okay, f*** you.

We still got $250k a piece, right?

No.

I'm going after the rest.

What do you mean?

Come on, bro.

Give me a f***ing break!

Please, just this once.

- They spent it, bro, it's gone.

- It's not gone.

It's just be misplaced.

I'll get it replaced.

Okay.

Have it your f***ing way.

As usual.

Do what you f***ing like.

I'll see you when I

get out of this shithole.

Let's talk about the rest

of the money you owe.

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

We spent the rest, right, it's gone.

And now we have to get it back.

The outstanding deficit is $78,298.

What?

Why don't you just take the Range Rover,

take the new furniture, take it all?

I don't want your goods, Sam.

I'm not a merchant.

I'm more like a banker.

I require cash.

We don't have $78,000l!

$78,298.

We don't have that, either.

You know what?

Can't you just leave?

You have $500,000 plus.

Just leave us alone!

We're sorry we spent some.

We felt God smiled down on us.

We were wrong.

We're sorry.

Nothing is free, Leslie.

Not in this life.

You knew that money

wasn't yours.

And you spent it.
