When the papers are signed. (RIFLE SHOTS) (BIRDS CALLING) (BOTH PANTING) Who is that guy?

I don't know. It's a nightmare. Why does everybody

who sees you want

to shoot at you? One kissed me. (GROWLING) Oh, yeah, I know.

I'm starved too. That wasn't my stomach. (GROWLING) Don't panic! The worst

thing you can do is run. What should we do, then? Curl up and pretend

we're a piece of food? Just do as I say

and don't run. Run! Get him!

Get him! (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) What'd you do to Jose? What kind of a world

are we living in? (SIGHS) Just don't think

about it, Larry. One of us is gonna have to

break the news to the... Late mayor's widow. You stay here. I'll do it. I'll come with you. Guess we're stuck here

all night again, Jim. Sh*t! (CHUCKLING) Mom? Marci! If he's touched them,

I'll break his spine with my bare hands,

I swear to God. Here, stay here and

look out the window. If you see

anybody coming, yell. And I'll call the police. (PHONE RINGING) Who's that? Probably a wrong number. (PHONE RINGING) Then, maybe it's for us. (RINGING)

Maybe. Go to the Van Der Haven

house at the end of

Seaview Drive. Got that? Uh... well... yeah.

(DISCONNECTED TONE) Who was it? Wrong number. Oh. (CREAKING)

(DOOR CLOSING) Bill? (FLOORBOARD CREAKING) (SCREAMING) (MATT SNARLING) So, we meet at last. Okay, hang up on me now. Hang up on me now! Shame on you!

(GUN SHOT) Just stay right there! Get over there

and don't move! All right.

Take it easy. Are you gonna kill us and

cut us into little pieces? Everybody, shut up! Okay, kids, quiet down.

Your father's angry. Gimme the passbook.

The bank passbook! Here it is, Peter.

It was here all the time. All you had

to do was ask. The name's Matt.

Matt Skearns. You got what you want.

Your twin's dead. MATT:

Yeah, I got what

I want, almost. I did 15 years for a

murder he committed.

This money's mine! (DOORBELL RINGING) Get in there.

Go on. Go on! You, answer the door. Don't say anything

or you're dead. (DOORBELL RINGING) I'm very sorry to have to

bring you this very bad news. (MOUTHING WORDS) I regret to inform you

that your husband... (WHISPERING)

He's back from the dead! What seems to be

the matter? We just brought you

your effects. So much for the police. Aren't you gonna take

one of us hostage? They always take a hostage

in case something goes wrong. No hostages. You take one of us hostage

and lock the rest of us

in the basement. You go to the bank,

get the dough, come back

and ice the rest of us, cut us into little pieces

and stuff us in garbage...

Shut up. Shut up, Marci. How much money you gonna

get from the bank? 100,000?

200,000? Why don't you let me

make one phone call? You could have

a million dollars. (C*CKS HAMMER) (DIAL TONE)

(TOUCH-TONE DIALING) (RINGING)

Bill Campbell's office. Jenny, I need you

to do something for me. Sell all our shares

of Atwater Tech. Then wire $1 million

to the First National Bank

of Buzzsaw. But...

No buts. Just do it. Yes, sir. We don't have any shares

in Atwater Tech. Transfer will take

about 15 minutes. Take me with you to the bank

and let everyone else go. You're not in any

position to make deals. Then shoot me. You're thinking I won't

care about my own life once I know that

my family's safe. Take a second hostage. You're thinking I can't watch

two hostages at the same time. Put the other hostage

in the trunk. Shut up, Marci. Thanks, kid. Okay, to the basement. Hi, Mr. Mayor.

This is Vincent. Piss off! Hello, Mayor. Hello, Mr. Mayor. Hi, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Mayor.

I thought you were speaking

at the Founder's Day Festival. I'll tell you what. Why don't you give

the speech for me? There should be a million

dollars wired here under

the name "Bill Campbell." (KEYS CLICKING) (BEEPING) I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor, we've

had no transaction like that. I don't think we've ever

had a transaction like that. (GRUNTING) (SCREAMING) Nobody move! All right, just

gimme what you got! It's me. (GRUNTING)

BILL:
Okay, it's

gonna be all right. (GRUNTING) SALLY: Let me out of here! I gotta get help.

I'll be right back. Hurry! Push. No, it's further.

You gotta twist. Come on. Push, push. Jim? Jim?

Yep? I got 'em. Come on, Jim. You got it?

I'm gettin' it. Jim! You? You! I... Never mind. (SOBBING) (CHUCKLING) I'm back.

SALLY:
Hurry! (GRUNTING) Hey, this your car? (STRAINING) Yes! This ain't your car. My father's car. Sh*t! Is this your son? Yeah. Damn! (TIRES SCREECHING) Hey! Get outta there.

That's my truck! Damn! Hey, that's my truck! (TIRES SCREECHING) (GASPING LOUDLY) (SIREN WAILING) (BOTH SCREAMING) (BOTH SCREAMING) (SIREN DRONING SLOWLY) LARRY: It's gonna charge. They always charge

when they see red! It's a cow, Larry. It's a cow. (TIRES SCREECHING) Oh! Okay.

(GRUNTING) Step over.

I can't! Here, try again.

Give me your hand. (SCREAMING) Jump! I can't! My foot's caught! My hands are slipping! (SCREAMING) I am falling! I got you. Wha... Oh, sh*t! (SCREAMING) (GRUNTING) Oh, God. (MUTTERING) They gotta

be down here somewhere. Jeez. You all right?

Yeah. Oh, God, it's over. (SIGHING) (CELL PHONE RINGING) Don't get it. (PHONE CONTINUES RINGING) Bill! You're always one

jump ahead, aren't you? Mr. Buchenwald. I'll never figure out

how you knew Daisy was a dog. Turns out they're

totally overextended. Brilliant stall tactics,

by the way. You saved us 140 million. Breakfast meeting, tomorro.

8:
00, Riviera Bay Club. We're going for

Tactel Industries this time.

It may get bloody. (SIGHS) Bill? I can't make the meeting,

Mr. Buchenwald. (SHOUTING)

You can't make

the meeting? Did somebody make you

a better offer someplace else? I'm working on it. I'll top it! I'll top it!

I'll top it! (MUTTERING) Aha! (GASPING) MARCI:

So Matt joined his

twin brother in hell, and Bill and Sally

are getting married

in a few days. And my mom's a widow,

but she's very happy. And that's what I did

during my summer vacation. BOY: Wow, what a vacation! (SCHOOL BELL RINGING) See you tomorrow, children. BOY 1: What a story! BOY 2:

She's a good storyteller,

no matter what you say. BOY 1: You think it was true? BOY 2: Ah, it was true. What about the Jims? SALLY: So, what will

you do now? BILL: I don't know.

Maybe there's

an opening in Buzzsaw. Mayor of Buzzsaw? Well, it's a question

of reorientation. You know? (TIRES SCREECHING) Hop in. Come on. Where you headed? Buzzsaw. We can take you

right into town. We just gotta

tank up first. Y'all wanna come

tank up with us? Why not? SALLY: Good idea. All right. You guys by any chance

registered to vote? Hey, baby que paso? JIM JR: Hey, you

JIM JR:
