We're asking any citizens in the area

to please call our help line.

1-800-COP-TIPS.

Thank you.

You look like you just saw a ghost.

I'm... I'm so sorry.

Can you repeat that, please?

Yep.

- Move. Move!

- Have a little respect, please!

Stop the van!

Stop the van right now!

Stop the van!

Stop the f***ing van right now!

What the f***?

What kind of f***ing sh*t...?

- I'm gonna f***ing kill you! Rainn!

- What kind of f***ing...?

I'm gonna kill you!

What is this, National Impulse Day

or something?

- Remember the time we did a couple?

- That's not the point.

We eat at that diner, for chrissakes.

Sometimes you just

have to be spontaneous.

I'd appreciate next time

if you'd give me a little warning.

I didn't even have time

for the camera.

I feel so f***ing alive right now.

Oh, jeez.

What are you gonna do to us?

Blue. Blue.

Blue, blue, blue is for you, miss.

True blue. Thank you very much.

- Blue.

- What are you gonna do to us?

Roland? Roland?

- So it worked out.

- Babe, when you're right, you're right.

I knew you'd like

that little punky girl.

- Would you wait a minute? Sh*t.

- You don't even know the guy.

Which is why it's f***ing important

to make a good first impression.

- First impression, huh?

- Yes.

- I'm impressed.

- Whatever.

Who is it? Who is it?

Lucky's here with a guest.

Let me see your bag, miss.

Quiet.

And cut! Cut!

Oh, yes.

Hot set!

Oh, my God.

Heaven has sent me an angel.

Since when you walking around

with a freaking Venus, Lucky?

- Well...

- Oh, look, she's blushing.

- What's your name, sweetheart?

- Angela Maria Guzmano del Lopez.

Angie for short.

That means singer.

- Look, Mendez...

- You have something for me?

That's my demo.

Don't touch that!

- This is you, honey?

- Yeah.

Sherman! Move Breakman to 4.

Lucky, Angie.

- Look, Mendez, so...

- Angie, come. Angie, come.

You too, Lucky, come on.

Come, come.

Lucky, sit. Angie, sit right here.

Sit, sit. Lucky, sit, sit, sit.

Don't touch that!

Picture, picture, picture.

Lucky, please.

Lucky, come on, come on, come on.

Okay. Lucky, don't smile.

Yeah! Okay, okay.

I'm gonna put you both

in a movie right now.

- I'll pay you $1000 each, cash.

- Mendez, you ain't gotta do that.

What, what, what? Come on, man.

Just do a scene with her.

You do it for free anyway,

might as well get paid, right, honey?

- Head back.

- Is that better?

Shake your head a little.

That's it, shake your head!

America's so f***ed up

racially, right?

Latinos are the new exotic.

I mean, look at some of

the Hollywood pictures.

The dirty cop one, Training Day.

They put Denzel with...

- Eva Mendes.

- Oh, my God. Gorgeous Latina.

And then the one with

the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air kid.

- What's his name?

- Will Smith.

Yes, yes, yes. They put in

the same Latina with him.

And then the Catwoman with...

I know this one. I know this one.

Benjamin Bratt.

He put fine in fine.

You put a black guy with a black girl,

what you got? Black movie.

White with white?

Been there, done that.

You gotta mix it up. Make it sexy.

You know, we all fantasize

about the other, right?

- All right, cut.

- Antonio. Antonio, come here, quick!

Quick, quick.

Antonio, picture, picture, picture.

Picture. Look in the camera.

Okay? You got it?

Okay, get the f*** out.

Latinos are safe, you see.

White folks love us,

black folks live next door to us.

Who wouldn't wanna bang

a hot Latina?

Unless, of course, you was

a fag like me.

Hey, hey, hey, look.

Mendez, Mendez. Hey.

I need a car, man.

I need a car and I need a place

where we can hole up.

Do I owe you or do you owe me?

I'm... I'm just f***ing with you, okay?

Look, what are you,

her protector now? She can't speak?

- Come here, come here.

- Hey.

Come here. Please!

I got a guy in there, mamita.

An actor's an actor. Come on,

act like you're enjoying yourselves.

Look, honestly...

...I can't do anything today

that I won't be proud of tomorrow.

- Did you hear that sh*t?

- Yes, girl.

Do you believe that sh*t?

I didn't know they still

make girls like this!

You gotta keep her here, Lucky.

Keep her, okay?

Sherman, how's the transmission

on the old Eldorado?

It's fine. You deaf prick,

go get the keys to the Eldo... Go!

Go get the keys.

And to the country place too.

I got just the spot for you, okay?

It used to belong

to my wife's mother...

...back then

when I still needed a wife.

Look, when you get back,

do me a favor, okay?

I want you to consider

letting me be her manager.

I'll take 10 percent. Legit.

And you're never gonna have to worry

about me trying to get into your pants.

Keys!

- Ain't that the truth, Lucky?

- That's the truth.

Antonio?

Roland? You okay?

Baby, you're not even...

You're not even tied up.

Come on. Hey, untie me, okay?

Listen to me.

They tossed my handbag in here...

...when they brought us in.

You remember the pepper spray

that you gave me?

Remember the pepper spray?

I still have it.

- That's my superhero.

- If we're gonna f***ing die...

...let's just let it be

on our own terms, okay?

- Hey, hey. Who you calling?

- What, are you my man now?

I gotta pee.

Well, I guess you better

roll the window down...

...and back your ass up to the crack

and piss out the window.

I don't see any toilets,

and I ain't stopping.

Roland, you just gotta untie me.

Sorry. I'm sorry. I've never been

strong enough for you.

No, you are strong enough.

Please, just untie me.

Okay? You remember

the pepper spray that you gave me?

Remember the pepper spray?

I still have it.

Pepper spray. That's original.

Still, you have to give her points

for spunk.

Crazy motherfuckers.

Stop! No!

Stop.

I gotta pee. You've gotta stop the car.

I gotta pee really bad.

I gotta pee, I'm serious.

Please, stop the car. I gotta pee.

All right.

I'm gonna pee all over the car

in a second.

Please, stop the car.

Just stop the car.

- You gonna be real chilly if...

- Stop the car. Stop the car, please.

I gotta pee.

Oh, God.

Don't look.

You've reached Solly Sol, the man.

Time is money,

so make it quick, money.

Yeah.

A friend of yours

just came by to visit.

- Who might that be?

- Lucky and his new girlfriend.

What a doll.

- No more cellphone.

- What the f***?

GPS. Could be tracking us.

From now on, we going off grid.

They wanna track us...

...they can track that sh*t

up to Canada.

Thank you, folks, for coming.

All the ballistics at the strip club

have been accounted for.

- Meaning what?

- It seems Lucky didn't shoot anybody.

Not yet anyway.

What about the Canadian border?

They didn't show.

Neither did the girl.

- It's got mayonnaise in it, man.

- I told those jokers you wanted soy.

Well, check it out next time,

will you? Sh*t.

- What about Franklin?

- Still tracking his every move.

- Hey, can I have your sandwich?

- Yeah, yeah. Knock yourself out.

I think I better

change your bandage, Kojak.

Bandage is fine.
