- Come on.

- Wait, wait, wait. I don't have the toxin.

- Wait a minute.

- Oh, hold on a second there.

Give me the vial.

Slowly.

- Let go of me!

- Go!

Whoa! A**hole! Come on!

Well, of course.

Russell! Boyd!

- Where's the other one?

- She got away.

- Now you're gonna make yourself useful.

- I don't know how to drive a stick shift.

- Get in the back.

- Oh.

Let's turn around, okay?

Let's just go this way.

Holy sh*t.

Go away!

- Frank?

- Go away!

- What happened? Where's Lauren?

- They took her.

- We gotta go find her.

- Oh, no!

Frank, I can't track her without

you. Now, please, come on!

- You go! I'm busy bleeding!

- Frank!

You don't give up, do ya? You think I'm gonna go

chasing a pack of psychos for some dumb blonde?

She's not dumb, and she's not a blonde.

- Well, good luck, lady.

- Frank!

Frank!

Okay, okay, the truth.

Lauren and I pulled a bank job. Those guys

were feds, and Lauren buried the money...

- Spare me, will ya?

- Well, what about revenge?

I mean, these guys trashed your

house. Don't you want to get even?

I'm insured. No deductible.

Save your breath.

I'm running out of bullshit,

Frank. They're gonna kill her.

I know it's not your problem...

but this person and I, we've been through

a lot of disgusting things together.

This person and I are...

This person's a friend...

and I don't have that many friends.

I do.

I do.

Hello, Michael. This is Atkins.

Hello, Joe. Do you have the money?

Yep, it's here.

Fine. Here it is.

You'll get into the chopper and fly to

Mesa Azul Cliffs at the Four Fingers.

Don't even think about ground

support because I've got lookouts.

Now, if I see a plane, a tank, a

chopper other than your chopper...

I'll get very nervous and I'm gonna dump this

stuff in the first stiff wind blowing east.

You got it?

You will not land the chopper.

You'll come level with the mesa and

you'll lower the money down to me...

at 5.:
00 p.m. Exactly.

And now you're gonna make the exchange.

I knew you wouldn't keep

your end of the bargain.

This is your big moment.

Don't you wanna do it yourself?

Atkins is a crack shot.

Like I said, I'm doing the exchange.

- I see somebody. It's Lauren.

- Now you wanna tell me how much you believe them?

No, don't shoot. Sir,

she's being coerced.

- Will you land this damn thing!

- He's trying!

Throw down the bag.

- Throw it down.

- You'll shoot me.

I'm really sorry about this.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

- Aren't you dead yet?

- Not till I play Hamlet.

- Boy!

- Oh, you came back.

- Sure!

- I can't believe it.

- And look at you. You made off with the works.

- Yes.

- I got the toxin and $20 million.

- Wow!

This time l... l-I think

I'll hold the money.

- You don't mind.

- Oh, look, there's Weldon.

Maybe we can hitch a ride

with those guys. Hey, handsome!

- Go! Go!

- Go where?

I will never...

date a man again.

- Sandy.

- Getting laid just isn't worth it.

Oh, Sandy!

Get it! Get it!

Pull!

Pull! Oh!

There is no God.

- Hey, look!

- Hey, look!

Yes. Let's go.

- Let's go.

- Oh, f***.

You son of a b*tch! En garde!

- Yes!

- Go!

- Where is it? Sh*t.

- I don't have it!

I have it. Let her go.

No! You...

Sh*t.

Ah, nuts.

Oh, sh*t!

Nine years of ballet, a**hole!

You did it! You did it!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

That is the best Hamlet ever.

Except for mine.

Wow! Yeah!

Oh, this is the happiest

moment of my life.

- They bought that sh*t.

- Sh... "Sh*t"?

You're calling my Hamlet sh*t?

He's a wimp. I mean, look at him. He

can't make up his mind about anything.

He stands around all night and says,

"What'll I do? What'll I do? What'll I do?"

Give me Romeo or Henry the Fifth.

Now, there's a guy I could boff.

Boff? Oh, we're back to boffing, are we?

- I see. That's... That's the criteria for your great...

- Absolutely!

Right, whether you would boff the hero.

Well, who will you go to

When there's no one to betray

And I said

Who will you go to

When your best friend turns away

Hey, hey

Last time you're gonna let me down

Last time you're gonna

fool around with me

It's the last time

Last time you're gonna let me down

Last time you're gonna

fool around with me

It's the last time, baby

Last time you're gonna let me down

Last time you're gonna

fool around with me

It's the last time

Last time you're gonna let me down

Last time you're gonna

fool around with me

It's the last time, baby

There's a garden full of roses

There's a necklace full of pearls

You have come to take the roses

To give to other girls

Well, I'm just a pretty thing

You wanted for a day

There is nothing left between us

There is nothing left to say

Hey, hey

Last time you're gonna let me down

Last time you're gonna

fool around with me

Last time you're gonna let me down

Last time you're gonna

fool around with me

It's the last time
