Return to Paradise Page #12

Synopsis: Three friends share an exciting vacation in Malaysia, full of fun, drinks, women and hash. When the vacation is over, each have dreams of continuing their lives, and they all go their separate ways. One of them (Phoenix) remains on the tropical paradise to fulfill a dream of working with apes for research. Two years later, a lawyer (Heche) comes to New York and hunts down the other two friends to give some sad news. A few days after they left the island, police raided their camp and found amazingly large quantities of hash left about. Phoenix was still residing there, so he had to take the blame. He is set to be put to death in 8 days, and the only way the charges can be decreased is if the two friends come back to paradise and take their share of the responsibilty. If they do, they both will spend three years in prison. If only one does, he will spend six years behind bars...

01:
44:12,794 -- 01:44:17,006

And I'm not sorry, Beth.

I'm not sorry right now. I'm not.

1000

01:
44:20,010 -- 01:44:22,418

Cos if I would have went back,

1001

01:
44:22,638 -- 01:44:26,587

I don't think I'd be able

to look at you ever again.

1002

01:
44:30,521 -- 01:44:34,221

And that'd be a lot harder

than this sh*t.

1003

01:
44:34,441 -- 01:44:36,766

You know what I mean?

1004

01:
44:36,985 -- 01:44:39,820

I like to look at you.

1005

01:
44:42,157 -- 01:44:45,111

I like to look at you.

1006

01:
44:46,620 -- 01:44:49,870

I like to look at you.

1007

01:
44:54,169 -- 01:44:57,254

The ambassador heard

through back channels

1008

01:
44:59,716 -- 01:45:02,421

that when all this publicity dies down,

1009

01:
45:03,762 -- 01:45:06,051

they're gonna let you go, Sheriff.

1010

01:
45:06,265 -- 01:45:08,886

They're gonna do it quietly

to save face,

1011

01:
45:09,101 -- 01:45:12,434

but it's gonna be six months,

maximum.

1012

01:
45:13,981 -- 01:45:16,104

Sheriff?

1013

01:
45:16,316 -- 01:45:17,514

Yeah.

1014

01:
45:17,734 -- 01:45:23,524

Oh, goddamn it! Oh, goddamn it!

1015

01:
45:42,176 -- 01:45:47,300

Sheriff.

I am gonna take my brother home...

1016

01:
45:49,224 -- 01:45:51,549

and I'm coming right back here.

1017

01:
45:51,768 -- 01:45:56,561

And I will not leave Penang

until you're with me.

1018

01:
45:59,610 -- 01:46:02,611

I know, Beth. I know.
