- Me either. I can't believe it.

- That was everything to us.

- Everything.

[Man]

Hey, there they are!

Hey, Phil, we decided

to bring the boat back

before the 30 days was up.

- Right, Joe?

- Yeah. Look, Phil,

this stuff all broke.

You better get it all fix ed.

Thanks, anyway.

Yeah, thanks, man.

You know, you need better material.

Yeah. Sorry.

[Screaming]

These guys are

a two-man disaster area.

They just bought a boat and destroyed it

in less than an hour.

Look, these idiots

won' t get very far.

Now They've got my map.

It might take me

another day to find them.

But I will find them.

don't worry.

And when I'm finished with them,

I'll know where the money is.

we're gonna be working

every weekend for the rest

of our lives, Gus.

How come?

Because that boat cost

more than our house.

At least we'll

be home on time.

Wrong.

we're gonna be home a day earlier,

and that's worse than

gettin' there on time.

Besides, that friggin' knife

is somewhere at the bottom

ofTigertail Lagoon.

- In any case, we're goin' home.

- [Tire Blows Out]

- Flat.

- Flat.

I got it, Gus.

[Dog Barking]

- Hey, Gus.

- What?

- what's this?

- what's what, Joe?

Look, look. It looks like

a map of somethin'.

Joe, it's a map

to the money andjewels.

What jewels and money?

Joe, your memory' s so bad.

Remember the $2-1/2 million

in stolen jewels and money...

the guy on TV

said was hidden away?

- This is it?

- Yeah. Who cares about the knife?

We get the reward anyway.

Hey, w-we got a map

to $2-1/2 million dollars!

- Hey, we're gonna

get the reward anyway!

- we're gonna be rich!

- we're gonna be rich...

- [Muttering] Wait, wait, wait, wait!

- Gus, Gus, Gus, listen!

Gus, Gus! Listen.

- Huh? Yeah.

Listen. Who cares

about the reward is right.

Forget about the reward. let's

just take the 2-1/2 million

in money and jewels.

we're millionaires!

Millionaires, Gus! we're rich!

Joe, that guy stole that

from 43 women.

that's a whole lot

of broken hearts.

Yeah, i-i-it's not nice.

We wouldn't like it if it

was somebody in our families.

- We can't take it.

- But think, Joe.

Not only is it a lot of women...

That means a lot of rewards.

it's a lot of rewards!

- it's more than one reward.

we're rich! we're rich!

- we're gonna be rich.

- we're gonna be rich.

- we're rich. that's right.

Instead of one reward,

we get a bunch of rewards.

- we're really rich now.

And we're picking up...
