- You ain't f***ing with me, are you?

- What?

See that little motherf***er up there?

That's me. That's me.

I am a licensed exterminator, man.

Why l gotta f*** with you?

Look. Come here. Let's do this.

You take me to a small place.

Small room. Office or something.

Someplace upstairs,

away from the customers.

That way when I set these bombs off,

the fumes, they don't go down there.

And then we come back later

and fix the rest. All right?

- Okay. Get a couple bombs. Come on.

- That's what I'm talking about.

You don't wanna be bit by one

of these motherfuckers.

Swell you up all around the neck. Look

like Oprah. Come on, get the door.

You know, some of these bugs

they got E. coli and Mad Cow disease.

Check this sh*t out.

Is this Jackie Chan's office?

Oh, snap!

Man, you got a Jacuzzi?

Look at the ball.

How many freaks you get in here?

I bet you sit yours right there on

that ball. Sit on the ball, baby.

Sit on the ball. Keep it wet, baby.

- Smack!

- Hey!

- Smack it! Smack it!

- Hey!

- Just do your thing and go, bro.

- Yeah, all right, player.

All right. Look here.

Now you keep the door closed...

...and give this sh*t a full hour

before anybody steps in here, all right?

Damn.

TOMMY:
You're clear.

- Let's do it.

All right.

- You're crazy.

- I'm a father.

[BEEPING]

Blow it. Daria, get ready to move.

What was that?

"Sometimes you just need

an old friend?"

- lt came from the office.

- Watch her. Don't let her leave.

- They're not here?

- They're here.

- They're just somewhere else.

- What are you talking about?

- He stashed them here somewhere.

- What the hell we gonna do?

FAIT:
Everybody just go.

MILES:
But, T, what about you, man?

I gotta save Vanessa. L gotta find them!

- I'm not leaving you.

- Yes, you are. Now go!

MAN:
Right here. Hurry up. Come on.

- Oh, sh*t.

Come on, dog. They're right outside.

Shut the f*** up and get out of here!

You know, I got the big one.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Keep it in your pants.

Who's in there?

ODION:

Hey, Fait.

You're raw.

- What you want?

- Ah.

- Yeah!

REFEREE:
Move away from him.

Nice cubic. Yours are real. Not.

I told you this was gonna take a while.

I was thinking about those diamonds

so I made a few calls.

My Defense Department connection

called me back and he tells me...

...about this rumor out of Taiwan about

these stones. Only they're not jewels.

- Pretty beat up.

- Fell down the stairs.

Enjoy the jail sex, Fait.

7 advances, 11's out!

Next up, 8 versus 12!

8 versus 12!

Fighters report to the cage!

EMT:

Let's go.

We're still here, T.

Got anything you want us to do?

- Nothing yet.

- What?

Nothing. Nothing.

Unofficial entry number 12!

- Unofficial entry number 12!

- Hey, 12's right here!

Kind of small, ain't he?

Let's go, chickenshit.

You're the chickenshit, buddy!

Not today.

I know this wasn't the plan,

but if you don't get in and fight...

...they'll throw us out

and we'll never find this guy.

- Sorry.

- Just find the ring.

- Hey. Two grand on the white guy.

- You got it, Archie.

Let's go! Come on!

Are you ready? Are you ready?

You win.

- You suck.

- Sh*t.

No quitting! Get your ass back in there!

Put me down! Goddamn! Come on!

- Put me down or l'll kick your ass, Bruce!

- I'm not Bruce.

REFEREE:
Come on. Get up.

Get out of here. Get out of here.

ANNOUNCER:

Kick his ass!

Come on! Kick his ass!

MAN:

Kick him. Take him down.

EMT:
Okay. He's all patched up.

- Ready to move.

Let's go.

Get the car. Stay close.

Hey! That guy's got my f***ing quad!

I'm gonna get that motherf***er!

[CROWD CHEERING]

[SCREAMS]

Hey! Wait!

- Five grand on the Chinaman. My friend.

- Got you.

WOMAN:
At this very moment, a man

identified as Anthony Fait is leading...

...police on a wild high-speed chase

through downtown Los Angeles.

MAN:
And get this, folks.

He's driving an all-terrain vehicle.

Yeah!

Come on! Kick his ass!

[SCREAMING]

Oh, yeah!

Come on. Come on down.

That's the way to get that buck.

FAIT:
Yo.

- I'm here.

Aboveground parking garage

in Chinatown. Get there.

TOMMY:

I know the place.

Hey. Thanks, man.

- Do you like my new ring?

- Where is he?

Well, open the door.

Glad I brought my stunner.

All right, bud. You ready for the q and a?

Where'd you put the stones?

I ain't selling you sh*t till

I know where the ceiling is.

How much money

do you want for the stones?

- Where's my f***ing butter?

- lt's almost ready.

See, l hate foreplay. F***ing warm-up.

A b*tch gotta be ready to come off

the bench and score some points.

Just take the rock to the motherfucking

hoop strong. You dig?

Instead of doing this back-and-forth sh*t,

my idea is you come up with a number.

A very high number. You see,

I'm throwing a number so high...

...that when l hear it just...

It just gets me off.

And then, bam! Bust a nut,

roll over, go to sleep.

You like that?

Yeah, l like that.

Oh, sh*t!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Sh*t! Okay, okay, okay!

WOMAN:
It looks like this garage is

where it will end. Police have sealed...

...the building and continue

their search inside for the man who...

...led them on what certainly had to be

the most extreme chase we've seen.

MAN:
Don't know why these idiots do it.

WOMAN:
They never get away, do they?

MAN:
They don't, and they just endanger

innocent citizens in the process.

WOMAN:

Here's another car exiting the structure.

Police talking to the driver,

inspecting the vehicle.

Well, the police know they have him

trapped inside the parking structure.

Knowing cops the way I do, I can say

they're PO'd, excuse my language.

And they're not about to let this guy

slip through their fingers.

Mr. Chambers is resting.

He says not to bother him.

MAN [OVER TV]:

Hey, baby.

Please don't go.

WOMAN [OVER TV]:

You want me to stay?

MAN:
Yeah, l need someone to stay

and help keep me awake.

WOMAN:

Wait a minute.

l know that face.

A lot of men had that look on their face

when l got married.

I knew the stones were in there.

He was a tough guy,

but when l got close...

...to his nuts he sang like Cline Dion.

How we gonna

get them out of there?

That place is always jumping.

Yo, dog, something's not right.

I got the same feeling.

The doorman.

Where is he?

Everybody stay put.

- Sorry.

- Watch my nuts, all right?

No Chambers' guys.

Something's wrong.

This guy looks better dead.

He said they were here in the fountain.

Where are they?

This can't be f***ing happening.

They have to be here!

That's it? One stone?

- Ling. He has the rest.

- How the f*** do you know?

I know.

Okay. He has the stones.

I mean, she can't hurt him.

She's just a little girl.

She's only 8 years old. He'll let her

go, right? He'll just f***ing let her go!

What am I gonna do?

We have to go.

Now.

- We're back in business.

CHARLES:
Good.

- We don't have to babysit much longer.

- I hate kids.

- ls everything else ready?

- Just have to test the device.

It's called the Dimaster Oscillator.
