Free Money Page #3

Synopsis: Walrus-like warden, Sven "Swede" Sorenson, a cross between Bluto and Wimpy, runs the prison, murders convicts who escape, and has the FBI on his trail in the form of agent Karen Polarski, the daughter of the town's corrupt judge. Swede's twins tell their father they're pregnant (they aren't), so he pushes their dim boyfriends, Bud and Larry, into shotgun marriages. He also turns his sons-in-law into slave labor, so Bud hatches an escape plan: to rob a train carrying old bills to the mint for burning. Larry's his reluctant accomplice. When Bud is captured and railroaded into Swede's jail, his death looks certain, until he hatches yet another plan that requires Larry's help.

What is this dude

talking about?

Louis is proud as hell.

We're riding

the big ghost,

making the big money run

in a couple of weeks,

right, Louis?

Yes, sir, with assistants.

You mean, between the midwest provinces

and the U.S. banks?

That's us, right, Louis?

Yes, sir, with assistants.

Sure you don't

want a beer, hmm?

Huh? Huh? Huh?

Can I buy

you guys a beer?

Oh... Why not?

Oh, yeah.

Get them a beer,

will you, Larry?

I can't do it.

Another beer

of the day for me.

Tell me

about your trip.

Let's see what you got.

Warden Sorenson,

I'd like to present you

with what must be

the culmination

of a great man's work.

How about letting me

get my hand back,

and then you can

give me the key?

Ha ha! Yes, sir.

Of course.

Here are the keys to this

wonderful piece of engineering.

I bet the Swede is getting a boner

for the first time in years.

Don't you just want

to caress it?

My god.

Hold it.

Brad,

the chicks.

Oh, ha ha!

The guys.

Hi.

Cute.

Ha ha! Yeah.

That's it.

God bless America

and the truck

that she makes.

God bless me.

Thanks, god,

for these gifts.

I'll jump first.

What's the matter with you?

I can't swim!

Ohh...

Whoaaaaaa!

Ah, sh*t!

Ah, you see that?

See how butch has all the ideas

and the kid follows?

But they're

partners, right?

Yeah. Like all partners,

one has the brain.

The other

does the following.

But they're

still partners.

You're damn right

they're partners.

How many times can he drive

to the end of the road and back?

Oh, the Swede don't care how many times

you have to hose off the mud.

He don't.

"Arrismense a la pared."

They're against

the wall already!

Look at the ceiling,

will you?

Look at the blue glow

from the TV.

It's beautiful,

isn't it?

Look at this

golden hue.

You know what

you're seeing, Larry?

You're looking at what

life is really about,

not what we thought it would

be back in high school...

The blue glow of that TV,

these aluminum cans of gold.

These are my life.

What the hell happened, Larry?

Where'd we go wrong?

Well, heck,

a lot of guys

like drinking beer

and watching TV, bud.

I love drinking beer

and watching TV,

but I love my wife,

too, and i...

The girls

aren't the problem.

They're big on the blue

and the gold and all,

but they're never gonna be

the wives we want them to be

as long as we're

all still living here.

Escape takes a plan.

Ha ha!

Got a lot of mud

on that truck for you.

Catch it.

Right. I'm on it.

Larry,

to be continued.

Apparently, warden Sorenson has

a long history of dead escapees,

and this turk guy... number 9

in the past two years,

all shot in the back.

Yeah. We'll he's trying

to stonewall me,

but I'm gonna

track him down tonight

at Florence point day.

It kind of celebrates the time

that the railroad

first came to town

about 200 years ago.

She was afraid

to come out of the locker

She was

as nervous as she could be

She was afraid

to come out of the locker...

So, boys,

that's my offer.

Bud,

they're just dancing

with those fellas

the cha-cha.

Bud, are you listening?

Let me

get this straight.

You got this job opening

for Larry cooking guard food.

Is that it,

120 meals a day,

and you want me

to be your janitor?

First of all,

cooking the guards' food

is gonna pay him

a whole lot more...

Thanks, lauter.

Later.

Bud, a guy could do much worse.

Much worse,

a guy could do.

I got a great deal

for you, Larry.

Where we going?

Tell him.

Tell him.

Liv Sorenson lied

to her father.

Look, Kim. You're certain

the Swede is not aware of this?

Yeah. I'm sure.

Liv lied to him.

Ms. schmidt, your

daughter has a duty.

It's time

the Swede knew.

I know. I know.

I ain't robbing

no trains, bud.

Larry, I know something

about you and your wife

you hear out my plan,

and I'll let you in on the secret

that only you and that big,

dumb Swede don't know.

It's about your kid.

You're scaring me.

Hear out my plan,

and I'll tell you the secret.

You want to know why this may be

even easier than stealing a watch?

Nobody robs trains

anymore.

The two hosers running the show,

Dwayne and Louis,

well, they've been dumb enough

to give me insider information.

Kid, picture this.

Next Wednesday...

Ok.

The train with all

that old money on it

comes cruising

past north point.

It crosses there at noon.

I stopwatched it.

It's gonna stop when Dwayne

sees the tracks blocked.

See, the night before,

I'm gonna tow a big rig

or a giant semi,

whatever I can get my hands on,

under the cover of darkness

out of birch county.

How you gonna get a rig

up on north point?

Shh. Shh.

Oh. Sorry.

I got to go

to the ladies' powder room.

The cab that I swipe will have enough

horsepower to make it up the goat trail.

Then the next day at noon...

Well, a bit before, really...

You and I are gonna drive my truck

to the end of the goat trail.

Now, we're gonna have

ski masks on, black ones.

Black?

Yes. Black ones

and guns we've taken

from the Swede's kitchen.

When Dwayne stops

for the track blocker,

you'll subdue him

and his brakeman

by brandishing

your weapon.

In the meantime, I'll

be brandishing Louis

and the other canuck

in the mail car,

and they'll fill them bags

with the prize money

under the watchful eye

of my revolver.

In the meantime again,

Dwayne and the brakeman

will be running for their

lives up the open track.

You got to scream and shout

and get them to run,

but don't forget

to come pick me up.

See, you got to fire shots in the air

to get them to run first, ok?

Wait. Shh.

Ohh...

It was an itsy bitsy,

teeny-weeny

Yellow polka dot bikini

so in the water

she wanted to stay

Cha cha cha

jeez, my junior-high sweetheart.

Karen, is that you?

Is that

Karen rausenberger?

Judge, is that

your daughter?

My love

I'll never find

the words, my love

Lord almighty, Karen,

we all heard you

went off to run the CIA.

Oh, well, don't say, "CIA,"

to an FBI agent, now.

They might

arrest you.

Hey. Hi.

Dwayne.

Wow. Karen.

So, you're really

with the FBI?

You know, tonight I just wanted

to see my hometown,

see all the people.

Yay.

Would you excuse me

for a moment?

So nice to see you.

I know her.

Mr. hock,

Mrs. schmidt.

Hey, Karen.

How are you?

Oh, well, it's agent,

but hello, warden. How are you?

You're looking pretty slick there.

Listen.

It's been real hard

to get a hold of you.

I've got some new facts

about our case

why don't you go talk to

your father about that?

But I want to finish my conversation

with my friend here.

You know, see you

around later.

You better be careful.

You're getting that on your mustache.

Well... see you later.

Bye-bye.

Tell him. Tell him.

I wish...

What do you want, darling?

What do you want?

Mr. Sorenson,

sir, uh...

Let's start over

in the beginning.

What is it that you

want to tell me?

Come on.

Come on.

What do you want me to say

after all these years?

I don't know,

something like,
