with a voice.

Come on, Raymond.

Just make the deal,

and we can all go home.

Well.

Silicone valley's

greatest hits.

The cash.

I'm sure we can

look forward to a long

and prosperous relationship.

It seems some things below

have gotten confusing.

I'm afraid, sir,

I have no idea what

you're talking about.

Confused? I'm not

the least bit confused.

I'm sorry. My English

is not so good.

Please, forgive me.

My English is perfect.

No!

Cover all exits!

Get down to the car.

We've been played.

- Oh, my God.

- Hey.

Oh, my!

That could have gone

a bit smoother.

What are you doing?

What am I doing?

I'm f***ing everybody!

Look at that?

Everybody's wired.

Michael! Sit on that guy

'til I get back.

- It's Dr. sands.

- Good.

Follow him.

Tom. Tom. Look at that.

Three cars, all the same.

What a coincidence.

- That's amazing.

- You're amazing.

Can't you see what he's doing?

F***in' three-card monte.

The real f***ing shame

of it is that you have

the most beautiful lips...

That utter the filthiest

words and caress

the dirtiest places.

How could you degrade yourself?

That is the real shame?

How could ya?

Was it good with the doctor?

Does he do it for ya?

No. You're scaring me!

I'm scaring you? Well, things

do get scary when you betray

the person who loves you most.

Why, why, why, delilah

Pull alongside the doctor.

Pull alongside the doctor.

Pull over, stop your engine

and wait there!

Pull your ass over

and stay there, you...

Raymond, stop the car.

I'm not gonna stop

the f***in' car!

This is a car chase!

I went through considerable

expense to set this up.

We can't just stop!

And to the floor!

Place your bets, gentlemen!

Go straight ahead.

The doctor's goin' left.

Go straight ahead!

All right! All right.

I got him. I got him.

Use the force, Luke.

Here we go!

Against the flow!

Hey, that f***in' doctor

sure is stuck on you.

Shut up.

Tenacious little prick,

isn't he?

You know, I might even consider

some couple therapy.

F*** you!

That's right. That's right.

Oh, God!

How boring,

this f***ing doctor.

Just wait here a second, baby.

I just realized this shouldn't

take me more than a moment.

One more detail I have

to take care of, missy.

I just gotta go kill

your doctor.

Raymond!

All right, doctor boy.

What, are you gonna

shoot me, doc?

That'd be so

out of character for ya!

Since when are you such

a good judge of character?

Come on. Put up your Dukes.

Put 'em up!

Two guys fighting over a girl.

You gotta love it.

Shut up, ray.

I'm so sick of listening

to your bullshit.

Let's go, Claire.

Come on, doc! Come on!

Now, where do you think

you're goin'?

Hey, get back in the car!

Oh, now you're not

talking to me?

Relax, ray. Have a smoke.

Wait for your f.B.I. Friends.

They'll be here soon.

Claire!

F*** it.

I have to kill both of ya.

I'll be right back.

Stay back.

Thanks for comin' back, pal.

- I needed the money.

- Yeah.

H-how's it look?

Not very good.

You got a lot

of internal bleeding.

Your spleen's

probably ruptured.

So if I... if I shoot ya...

If you shoot me, we could

both die on this bridge.

Oh, hello, dear.

You're gonna save me?

I can't do that, ray.

I'm only a doctor.

The chain of events

had ended where it began,

with me leaning over a patient

trying to save a life.

Well, ray got his life...

In a state correctional

facility.

Claire, she's tryin'

to get her life back together,

but this time,

she's being very responsible.

I made her take out

insurance so she can get

a really good doctor.

Can't be everywhere, you know?

I may get my license back.

I may not. We'll see.

In any case, I guess I learned

that if you're in the business

of saving lives,

you better start with your own.

And, of course,

always call 911.

Well, you keep saying you got

a little something for me

Something you call love

well, confess

And you've been messing

Where you shouldn't

have been a-messing

And now someone else

is getting all your best

Well, these boots

are made for walking

And that's

just what they'll do

One of these days

these boots are gonna walk

B-b-b-boots are made

for talking

And that's just what

they'll do

And one of these days

these boots are gonna

Walk all over you

Tune in, drop out of love

Pull the trigger

I'm a heavy soothsayer

truth in blood

Alive and well

You push the buttons

Standing in line of fire

For the war my soul

Staff chords with drums

and singing

Love the children

Learn to live

with everything

Love, love, love

On the trigger hippie, yeah

Love, love, love
