- Thattaboy.

Now, open the bag.

- Open it.

- F*** you, homey.

We don't have time

for this sh*t, man.

No, no, no.

We're gonna make sure

these sombreros...

...haven't spent any of our money.

Don't move.

That's my money.

Oh, thank God.

Where have you been?

Get packed.

Road clothes, but nice things

you don't wanna leave.

Because we're not coming back.

Hey, Duke.

What the hell happened here,

Pollen?

Everything went exactly

according to plan, Hendricks.

Yeah. Well, you know,

Eddie has certainly looked better.

Why don't we concentrate on how

we're gonna get that money back...

...in the evidence locker

by Monday morning?

Otherwise, this bonus

we so cleverly orchestrated...

...is gonna blow up

in all of our faces.

Three days. That's not much time.

Did you do that math

all by yourself?

You boys keep getting

smarter and smarter.

Why don't we concentrate

on finding out...

...where this little maggot

is going to burrow himself?

Twenty. That's another hundred.

There's a hundred in each stack

and there's 25 stacks.

Plus what we dipped into for the car.

We should eat something, babe.

No, I'm not hungry.

I'm scared. It's not our money.

- Not theirs either.

- But it's not ours.

Listen.

Every man has a moment in his life

when he needs to make a choice.

If he chooses right,

it's a moment of glory.

It's a good moment.

But if he chooses wrong,

then it's a moment of regret.

That won't go away.

I'm not saying I know what's

right or wrong in a situation like this.

It never happened to me.

But I do believe that you and me

deserve a little bit of luck for a change.

Come on, Pollen. Come on, man.

Sh*t.

Hey, Bernie.

What did I do?

Bernie, Bernie, Bernie.

What am I gonna do with you?

Come on. What did I do?

I heard gunshots and I took off.

I know what you did.

I wanna know what you saw.

I didn't see sh*t.

- Shoot him in the arm.

- Oh, come on. Come on, guys.

- Please don't do this.

- An eye for an eye.

- Come on.

- Deep breath.

Good morning.

What time is it?

I guess almost 10.

Where are we?

We're about to cross out of Arizona.

Got a chance to be in Texas

for dinner.

- Where are we going, Duke?

- Far away.

I got something, boss.

You made me very happy.

- Cute couple.

- She's nice.

Yeah. Let's hope she's with him.

- Hey, beautiful.

- So, what's going on with the car?

Car's down for a couple days.

Fuel pump.

Well, let's buy another one.

I always wanted a car like this.

Well, what are we gonna do?

We are gonna get

a nice hotel room...

...rent a car...

...and then find a place

to have a real wedding.

What?

Let's get married.

- Married?

- Married.

Love bears all things...

...believes all things...

...hopes all things,

endures all things.

Love suffers long and is kind.

Love does not rejoice in inequity,

but rejoices in the truth.

Love never fails.

In the soul of man

lies faith, hope and love.

The greatest of these is love.

May I have the rings?

We forgot the rings.

- Is that okay?

- It's not what's on your finger, son.

It's what's in your heart.

By the power vested in me

by the state of New Mexico...

...and the Lord God above...

...I now pronounce you

man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

- I love you.

- I love you.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

Thank you.

Come on.

Guy's an Army vet.

Did a tour of Iraq.

Honorable discharge.

Had a little trouble adapting

when he got back.

Three to five

for assaulting a federal officer.

Walked after two for good behavior.

DMV says they bought a car

with cash last night.

- Property marked the bills.

- And?

Guy who sold it said

they had a couple suitcases...

...got on the freeway headed east.

It's a bright orange '57 Chevy.

A bright orange '57 Chevy?

We'll never find them now.

We're never going back.

- Never?

- Never ever.

Then where?

Where love takes us.

- Wow, Duke, that is so...

- Romantic.

- Lame.

- I know.

Champagne, wife?

I like it when you call me wife.

I'd like to make a cheers.

- To what?

- To our new home.

And new life.

- That's really sweet. Cheers.

- Cheers.

Champagne's good.

Do you really think we're gonna get

a new life with this money, Duke?

I know we will. Things are different

from here on out, okay?

I promise.

Okay.

Luck has a way of finding a man

with money in his pocket.

All right, baby.

- That's for you.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome. Cheers, wife.

- Cheers. Cheers, husband.

- Let's do something.

- We are doing something.

No, I mean something special.

Something you always wanted to do.

You mean it?

- You let me win.

- No, I didn't.

- Do you swear?

- I swear.

But I've never beat you

at anything before.

Well, I guess

you just didn't know you could.

- Let's get something to eat.

- Okay.

What do you want?

- Cotton candy.

- Cotton candy?

Could we have two cotton candies?

- How much?

- A dollar.

A dollar? Here you go.

Keep the change.

Yeah, I know it may not

look like much now...

...but six months, a year from now,

this will be a veritable paradise.

We're gonna have green grass,

big old trees.

You know, we're very family

friendly here. You got any kidlets?

Someday.

Well, when you do decide

to procreate...

...this will be the place

you wanna be.

And of course now here,

you got the Jubilee.

You got a custom kitchen

with marble counters.

Comes with a spa out back

and three bedrooms and two baths.

And then of course

you get a list of materials...

...that your builder can use

to customize yours.

Wanna check out the hot tub?

- You kids married?

- Just.

Well, that's the best time, right after.

When they're still willing.

Well, you are a lucky man.

She is one hot tamale.

So if you ask me, dollar for dollar,

that, that is quite a value.

We could get those curtains

with the sunflowers on them.

- You like them?

- Of course you can customize...

...anything you'd like

to your personal taste.

- Duke, I really like it.

- You do?

- She really likes it.

- All right.

So, what sort of financing

you looking into?

We're gonna pay cash.

Is there some kind of problem

with that?

Look, just trust me, okay?

You wanna fill out

a application form.

- And I happen to have one, okay?

- No, no, no.

We wanna buy something outright,

in the low-100's...

...like it says on your sign out front.

That is a base price.

That doesn't cover the extras.

All right, well,

tell me about the extras.

Little lady, would you do me a favor?

Why don't you check out kitchen

styles in the book under the table?

- You'll find the extras.

- Okay.

How much more for extras?

I mean, what are we talking?

Amber.

Will you please step outside

for a second?

Duke.

Me and this gentleman

have something to talk about.

That's my wife you're looking at.

Well, you're one of them

jealous guys, ain't you?

Let me tell you something, son...

- What happened?

- Nothing. Let's go.

You sure you don't want me to go?

No, that's okay.

I'm just gonna get some Tums.
