I've never seen it handled so well.

- Never.

- Never.

Yeah. Well, Kelly Robinson.

It was like your instincts

were perfect.

Give them unimportant information.

Like he's blond, 5'9".

How many guys fit that description?

That doesn't mean anything.

You'd never name names.

You know what you are? You're a

"why not" guy, not a "why" guy.

- What's the difference?

- A "why" guy's like:

"Why are we gonna do this?"

They're afraid to make a decision.

Afraid they might get in trouble.

As opposed to a "why not" guy.

- He's like, "Roll the dice. "

- That's me. Kelly Robinson.

The "why not" guys are

like eagles. They don't flock.

The few, the proud, the "why not. "

The president wouldn't have called

me if I wasn't a "why not" guy.

Let me see everything.

Now, Kelly, we gotta

get you up to speed.

You're about to hear

a national secret.

This is Arnold Gundars, premier

arms dealer. He has this plane...

...the Switchblade.

It's a sophisticated prototype

stolen from the U.S. Government.

This is the next generation

of stealth technology.

Undetectable to radar, infrared,

even the human eye.

- Our mission is to get it back.

- To make a long story short...

...we can't find it,

because we can't see it.

Here it is with the electrochromatic

cloaking device engaged.

Like one of those bugs

that look like a leaf.

- One of the who?

- There's this bug that...

...stays safe because

it looks like a leaf.

But it's not really a leaf.

It can make itself look like one.

A leafy bug. It's a good name for it.

You should call that the "Leafy Bug. "

- That's a good idea.

- I'll pass that on.

The Leafy Bug. We gotta go. We'll be

late for the mission. It's almost 8:00.

You owe me one belt. Yamaguchi.

Hey, you got a cell phone?

- Tuxedo.

- I'm gonna set that all up.

Hey, Alex, I'm sorry I kneed you and

roughed you up in there. You okay?

My gosh, don't be ridiculous.

I thought that was great.

When you kneed me, I loved that.

- You did? You loved that?

- I just felt it helped sell it.

Made it convincing.

Wait to turn this on. The satellite's

only good for the next 72 hours.

Let's hope that's more than we need.

All right, set us up.

You know the drill.

- Hey, what's in that bag?

- Spy stuff.

Rule number one:

Always have a sure way out.

- Hey, Rachel.

- What's up?

It's weird. It feels like

a stakeout, doesn't it?

No. Not really.

And we are live.

Hey, what's that for?

This is how I'm gonna break

this case wide open with your help.

It's a replica of the pen

Gundars carries.

There's an IHB

tracking device built in.

Technology.

If Alex can plant it on him,

we can follow his movements.

Okay. Let's do this, then.

Nice shifting, Rachel. These

stick shifts can be a little tricky.

You make it look easy.

Thank you.

Please tell me you didn't

say, "nice shifting. "

- Don't worry about it.

- You really like that girl, huh?

- Rachel? No.

- Yes, you do.

- Mr. Robinson!

- Hey.

- Welcome!

- Hey.

- I am very big fan.

- How you doing? You a fan too?

It's going around, baby. How you

doing? Kelly Robinson, 57 and 0.

- You got that?

- No, no, no, I'm with him.

Kelly! Tell these guys

I'm with you. I'm with the boxer.

I've never seen that man before.

Shoot him in his ass.

- Hey, no, he's...

- I'm just playing. It's a joke.

Don't shoot the guy. He's with me.

Sorry about that, guys.

That's a bad start.

That's revenge for the hotel.

Now we're even.

Okay, you did your job.

Now let me do mine.

Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Yeah. Yeah.

Kelly Robinson, y'all, in the flesh.

Y'all looking at the fastest man in the

world! Y'all can do better than that!

Y'all ready for the Slugfest

in Budapest? That's good.

Yeah! How y'all doing?

Hello, Mr. Robinson.

This is great honor to meet you.

Hey, look, it's an honor for me to let

you meet me. How about that, huh?

All right, good meeting you.

Take it easy.

I like him. I like the way he talks.

- You just met Marwan Motaheeshi.

- Who's that?

He controls death squads. They kill

thousands of people every year.

Man.

- All right, here he comes.

- Okay, that's Gundars?

- That's a bad-ass jacket he got on.

- Turn around.

- Yeah, okay.

- Disappear. Get away.

- I won't disappear. I'll do the pen.

- Give me the pen. Give...

- Back up before...

- Mr. Robinson. Good to meet you.

Mr. Gundars, the pleasure's mine.

Thank you. Your fight here promises

to be the most exciting event...

...that Budapest has seen

in some time.

Since you such a nice guy...

...I ain't gonna break

your boy up too bad.

- Thank you

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Mr. Robinson, your champagne.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry to interrupt you. One

of the ladies wants an autograph.

No problem at all, but

you have a pen I could use?

I don't.

Didn't I tell you at all times

to keep a pen?

- I apologize.

- My assistant's penless.

- It won't happen again.

- I said to have a pen...

Mr. Gundars.

Mr. Gundars is always prepared.

Thank you. Hold this champagne.

You have to be prepared.

I'm disappointed,

I want you to know.

Take that. Here you go.

Clown ass. It's hard to get somebody

that'll do their job the right way.

I'm sorry about that. Force of habit.

Here's your pen, Mr. Gundars.

- Well, enjoy the party.

- Yeah.

Nice to see you.

I have some business.

Take care of your business.

Take care of your business.

Hey, you a real player.

Gundars.

I had it under control

until you showed up.

I know you did.

Okay, he's taking off.

I need you to create a distraction.

Create a distraction?

What do you mean? Do what?

Make a scene or do something.

That should come easy for you.

Make a scene?

Yeah! Baddest man on the planet!

Cedric Mills, where you at? Come on,

everybody. Cedric, where you at?

Let's get a show going here.

Where's Cedric Mills?

Everybody gather around.

Hey, come on.

Break that up. Come on,

y'all look great, but get out the ring.

It's about me and Cedric.

Cedric Mills, where you at?

Hey, Cedric! You in the house?

I know I seen you!

There you go, Cedric.

What you doing down there?

Having a steroid cocktail?

I do not take the steroids.

You need something

if you get in the ring with me.

Let's give the people a preview.

Don't be scared.

I ain't gonna hurt you.

Cedric Mills, everybody! In the flesh!

That's a brave man there.

That's like swimming with Jaws.

Well. Are you ready?

I want to see the plane first.

Only the highest bidder

will have that privilege.

Is it really invisible?

How long have you been

in Budapest?

- Three days.

- Three days.

Well, you've probably driven past it

at least half a dozen times.

Now, if you'd enter your

bid into the computer.

I usually make the predictions,

but let's do a little flip.

Let's let Cedric make the predictions.

What round will I knock you out in?

Hey, you stop jokes now.

- Or what?

- I will!

You gonna stop...? Isn't he a doll?

"I will stop them!" I like that.

Give them a preview. Open-handed.
