Get The Gringo Page #4

Synopsis: Heading toward the Mexican border, a getaway driver disguised as a clown and his wounded accomplice try to escape the American Police with a loot of over $2 million hidden in the trunk of the car. In a desperate attempt to break through the thick border fence, the driver crashes the car, the accomplice dies and he inevitably gets apprehended by Mexican Police officers Romero and Vasquez who want the money just for themselves.

Sooner or later, the Gringo will form an alliance with a 10-year-old kid whose peculiar immunity in this mad place will efficiently keep him alive, only to realise that in this pit, everyone knows about the $2 million.

then it's up to you if you wanna talk.

- What did he say?

- He said what does "ritmaticks" mean.

Ah, f*** it! Just kill him.

No! Hey! Hey! No! No! No! Hey!

- I swear! No! Please!

- There were only two!

- Last chance, Vasquez.

- No! Don't! Don't! No!

- I swear,

- Are you sure?

I Swear!

Who the f*** are you?

Hey! That's my money!

Javi.

Javi, you motherf***er,

I'm gonna f***in' kill ya!

Ah, Jesus!

I'm gonna kill ya, Javi,

with my own f***in' hands.

- You Buffet?

- You got it.

If you're hungry, try the

fish tacos, it's their specialty.

There's something comin' down to me and I don't

want you two to get caught in the middle of it, so...

- So, if you don't see me for a week...

- Okay.

There is something you're not telling us.

This gun belonged to Doroteo Arango.

Do you know who he was?

No, but I'm guessing he's dead,

because you have his gun.

He was better known as Pancho Villa.

This is the same gun he fired in

The Opera Restaurant in Mexico City.

- Have you ever been there?

- No.

The hole's still there in the ceiling.

They auctioned this gun off

a few years ago in the States,

they thought that was the original.

During the revolution

there was a shortage of bullets,

and Pancho was well aware of that,

so he made sure that every bullet counted.

- Who the f*** are you?

- If you really need a name,

it's Barnes, Reginald T.

And I'm sorry about the mess, I didn't mean...

You've been spending time

with the Kid and his mother...

Keep away from them,

and this is the last warning you'll get..

- What name?

- Barnes...Reginald T. Barnes.

Javi...

- Welcome to the United States.

- Hey.

- What's your citizenship?

- U.S.A.

- Where were you born, Sir?

- Chicago, Illinois.

Good morning, Warren Kaufmann's office.

Oh! Ah! One second,

I'll see if he's in.

Mr. Kaufmann,

Clint Eastwood is on the line.

- Hello?

- Hold for Mr. Eastwood, please.

Thank you.

Hey, how are ya doin'? Thanks

for takin' my call, Sir.

Well, it's quite a surprise, Mr. Eastwood.

I'm a fan of your work.

This is bullshit!

You know what, Man?

- This is not what you guaranteed me.

- Excuse me a minute, Sir.

This is not what you said...

- Okay, now, that's better.

- Ok, move along!

That's good! You all right, Man.

Hallelujah to ya!

Good! All right! Set up for take 2!

Sorry, Sir, I'm a workin' stiff, you gotta

make your time where you can.

What can I do for you,

Mr. Eastwood?

Well, ya know, I'm gonna be in San Diego for a

coupla days playin' a golf tournament, and

all the proceeds are goin'

to the Stroke Association.

I play golf myself, you know?

Well, my associates and

I are looking to make

a meeting with you, if we could.

Sit down and let you know how you can

be a part of the Stroke Association, and

Make all the arrangements.

Great! You'll make my day.

That's a good one.

I'll take better care of this one.

We have to do this as soon as possible.

He needs the donor.

Thanks.

Microwave's over there.

Don't let me eat this sh*t.

Among other things. Look, can I assume that

our conversation is confidential?

- Yes, of course.

Mel Gibson

Mel Colmcille Gerard Gibson (born January 3, 1956) is an American actor and filmmaker. He is best known for his action hero roles, namely his breakout role as Max Rockatansky in the first three films in the Mad Max post-apocalyptic action series, and as Martin Riggs in the Lethal Weapon buddy cop film series. Gibson was born in Peekskill, New York. He moved with his parents to Sydney, Australia, when he was 12 years old, and studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. During the 1980s, he founded Icon Entertainment, a production company which independent film director Atom Egoyan has called "an alternative to the studio system". Director Peter Weir cast him as one of the leads in the critically acclaimed World War I drama Gallipoli (1981), which earned Gibson a Best Actor Award from the Australian Film Institute, as well as a reputation as a serious, versatile actor. Gibson produced, directed, and starred in the epic historical drama film Braveheart (1995), for which he won the Golden Globe Award and Academy Award for Best Director, along with the Academy Award for Best Picture. He later directed and produced the financially successful, and controversial, biblical drama film The Passion of the Christ (2004). He received further critical notice for his directorial work of the action-adventure film Apocalypto (2006), which is set in Mesoamerica during the early 16th century. After several legal issues and controversial statements leaked to the public, Gibson held a 10-year hiatus from directing, before returning with the critically acclaimed Hacksaw Ridge (2016), which won two Academy Awards and was nominated for another four, including Best Picture and Best Director for Gibson, his second nomination in the category. more…
