and put the f***in' possibility

of it f***in' us further

out of your f***in' mind.

Six times.

You just said f*** or f***in'

six times in three sentences.

- Oh... Oh great.

- What?

Great. It's the f***in' cops.

Okay, Star.

We're gonna play this real cool.

Cool as ice cream.

This guy doesn't even know

who the hell we are.

Excuse me sir,

I have to tell you I noticed your...

...registration sticker's

gonna expire this month.

Well you don't say.

Didn't I tell you about that

the other day?

You sure did, sweetheart.

And I put the check in the mail.

You see officer,

we got everything in motion.

This car should be legalized

in mere days.

And you can rest assured

that we'll do our part

in keeping the rules and regulations

that make this country great.

Well...

Y'all have a good day now.

- Drive safe.

- Bye-bye.

Thank God he's gone.

I hope y'all don't mind

me askin', but uh...

Haven't I seen you

somewhere before?

I don't think so.

I swear to God,

y'all look so familiar to me.

- I don't think so.

- We gotta be goin'.

We're gonna be late for church.

I swear to God...

I could of sworn

I seen you on the TV.

Okay.

I know where I seen

you guys now.

- Honey, what's he doin'?

- I real sorry, y'all...

I gonna have to ask you

to get out of the car real slow.

Put your hands on your head...

Who the hell

just shot that cop?

Start drivin'

or you're next fuckface.

Jesus, Billy Mack.

What the f*** are you doin' here?

I'm not havin'

a very good day today.

So don't f*** around

with me, okay?

You look like such a f***in'

loser with that tattoo, Billy.

And I bet I can pull

this trigger faster than you can...

What do you say?

Put that damn gun down Star,

before I get killed.

No Watty, you put your gun down.

I know what I'm doin'.

But after Billy blows

my f***in' head off...

It won't matter now, will it?

Well why do you have

to point that gun at me, huh?

I don't know, baby.

Just instinct I guess.

For your information,

I was only gonna blow his brains out

on your account.

You guys shut the f*** up

before I kill both of you, okay?

Oh yeah, Billy Mack.

How are you gonna kill both of us?

Yeah, Billy, you may kill me

before she kills you...

and you may not,

but you're bound to die either way.

You guys are f***in' crazy.

All right, everybody just calm

the f*** down here, okay Billy?

You don't want to kill us,

and we don't want to kill you...

especially with a cop lyin'

here and everyone all around...

so why don't we just put our

guns down on three, okay?

Okay.

Okay...

Okay. Now, altogether...

One...

Two...

Three.

Just f***in' remember

that I can kill one of y'all

before the other can get to me.

Then y'all will be separated...

Ooh!

Drive the f***in' car.

Starlene, what the f***

are you doing?

Puttin' on makeup.

In case we get killed,

I wanna make sure I look good

for those cameras.

You just remember, Billy Mack

you gotta die, die good.

How are you doing today?

We're doin' fine, hombre.

Right, guys?

That's right, honey.

"Hombre" means "man".

Yeah, and we're all excited

about practicin' our Spanish...

- Seor!

- That was good!

- Right, guys?

- Si!

And what are you going to be

doing in Acuna, Mexico today?

Buyin' stuff...

Go shoppin', get some piatas,

and stuff...

Whoops!

Look what I did!

Did you see what I did?

Okay if we go on, Seor?

Have a good day in Acuna,

Mexico!

Gracias.

Give me the f***in' gun!

I'll blow her f***in'

brains out!

Gimme that f***in' gun!

Drop it!

Watty, drop that f***in' gun, man!

Don't do it, Billy.

Don't f***in' do it, man!

Whoo-hooo!

Get the f*** out of the car, c'mon!

I'm real proud of you guys...

you did real good back there!

I almost feel like

we're a team again.

I almost feel bad

about what I gotta do.

You don't have

to do anything, Billy.

I f***in' do have to do

something, a**hole.

See, 'cause I got

these voices inside my head...

What are they sayin' to you, Billy?

They're tellin' me

to get my ass in gear!

- Is that comfortable, sweetie?

- Go to hell!

'Cause I'm already there,

and you're givin' me a blow job!

Party's over, kids!

Where's the f***in' money?

It's in the trunk, man.

You don't wanna hurt her,

I'm the one you want.

I know that, man,

I'm not f***in' stupid!

Goddamn, I'm the king

of Mexico!

I'm the king

of the f***in' world!

Can we just talk,

huh, Billy?

Just you and me, man...

just you and me.

What the f*** are you doin'?

Don't you know I'll f***in'

blow her brains out? Right now?

You don't wanna hurt her, man...

she's your friend...

we're all friends... we're just

a little high-strung right now

this is a high-pressure

situation, remember, Billy...

your life has only as many

pressures as you create.

Don't make me f***in'

shoot her, man...

I shot so many people today!

Billy, do you remember

in Huntsville on "D" Block?

When they flushed your head

down the toilet...

kicked you up something awful.

Do you remember what I did?

Sure I f***in' remember, Watty.

I went out and beat the sh*t

out of every one of them, man...

I kicked their asses.

Me! And I'm not a violent man!

Don't that mean

something, Billy?

Don't that mean anything?

That's past f***in' history, Watty.

This is the present...

and the point is,

you f***ed me!

And I'm sick of people

f***in' with me!

C'mon, tell the truth,

you're always f***ing yourself!

This has got nothing to do

with her, man!

You just leave her alone,

you let her go...

I'll get you the money...

and you and me, man,

we can have it out.

I don't f***in' know, man...

I been speedin' for the

past two days...

and I'm not thinkin'

very clearly.

Stay the f*** back!

Okay, go get that f***in' money

out of the car...

and you bring it over here...

and maybe I won't blow

her f***in' brains out.

And don't f***in' try any sh*t.

Hey Billy, I'm gonna show you

a little experiment, okay?

No, f*** that!

I'm gonna reach into my pocket

and pull out a dollar bill...

so don't do

anything stupid, all right?

You know anything about

reflexes, Billy?

I know something about 'em.

People's reflexes are a lot

slower than you might think.

Take me, for example.

See this dollar bill in my hand?

I bet if I drop it, my left hand

ain't fast enough to catch it.

Let's see.

See that?

My left hand don't know

what my right hand is doing

before it does it,

and they're my hands, man!

What the f*** are you doing?!

Now think if those reflexes

were someone else's...

there just ain't

enough time to react.

Now let's pretend

that my left hand...

is that finger on the

trigger...

and my right hand's me...

there's a good chance you can't

pull that trigger

before I knock you

upside the head.

Know what I mean?

Check it out.

Motherf***er!

I got you, you motherf***er!

Yeah!

F***!

Who's sitting on top of the

f***in' world now, huh?

Huh, motherf***er?

Not you, Billy!

What did you?

I just killed you, you a**hole.

I Ching, Hexagram 29...
