Ruthless People Page #6

Bail will be granted | and set at...

- $700,000. | - You want to try for a reduction?

No, pay the ticket | and let's get the hell out of here.

That filthy slug! | That screeching little witch!

- That pasty-faced troll! | - The judge?

My wife! | I gotta get her back!

- Sandy? | - Kenny?

It's over. Sam isn't going | to pay the ransom.

He couldn't care less. | I'm no criminal.

I can't even sell retail... | and that's legal.

- We gotta get packing | and get outta here. | - Oh, Kenny!

I've got some very | interesting news for you.

I am the new rising star...

- in high fashion! | - Let's get a grip on ourselves.

Try to be calm. We're | going down to Mexico | for a couple of years.

- We can camp on the beach. | - Does that mean we let Barbara go?

- We're not going | to take her with us. | - Good.

- 'Cause I've already let her go. | - What? You let her go?

Kenny | Oh, my God!

- You didn't let her | just run right out of here? | - Yeah!

- Oh, my God! | - Why not?

She knows where we live. | She'll turn us in. | The police will be here.

You don't understand. | She really likes us now.

I showed her my gowns. | She loves them.

We're all going into | business together.

- We're gonna open our | fall line in Paris. | - She told you this?

Yes. She really, | truly loves me.

She can be trusted. | She's changed!

Changed? What'd you do? | Perform an exorcism?

Ken, she lost | nearly 20 pounds.

Well, you just had to be there. | It was a very special moment.

Knocking

I'm surprised | they knocked.

Good afternoon. | We're wondering if | you've seen this man.

He was sighted in the area | a few weeks ago and then | again this morning.

He's psychotic, extremely | dangerous and violent.

- He's killed half a dozen people. | - I gotta get outta here.

My wife, | she's late for work.

Doesn't look familiar.

Keep this and give us a call | at this number in case you do see him.

Under no circumstances should | you try to subdue him yourself. | He's extremely violent.

He looks it. Thank you | very much, Officer.

Sandy?

It's okay. | It's okay!

They're looking | for somebody else.

I'll get the other suitcase | from the basement.

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody home?

Oh, hello. Are you a friend | of Ken and Sandy's?

You... | look like my mother.

I hate my mother.

No. | Whimpering

[ Gasp ]

You-- You look | just like my father.

I hate my father!

Scream

Jesus.

Barbara | What the hell was that?

Sandy | Honey, don't touch him.

Oh, my God. | It's the bedroom killer.

He told me I look | like his mother.

He hates his mother.

He's dead.

Barbara | So, if I look like his mother...

and you look like | his father,

this is what our son | would look like.

- Pretty strong argument | for birth control. | - What do we do now?

Barbara, what | are you doing here?

Barbara | I got it! I tell you, I've got it.

Listen to this. | All right.

Sam arrives on a motorcycle | wearing shorts, no shoes, | no shirt, nothing.

Maybe we'll just put him | in a jockstrap.

We send him all over town in | the middle of a hot, sunny day.

Sam burns real easily. | He'll be bright red.

I can't believe | this is happening.

Barbara | Then he's got to cover himself | with honey and go to a bee farm.

- We make him dance so | the bees go absolutely nuts! | - I don't think she really--

Then we all watch while | they sting him to death!

Yeah!

Don't we want a punishment | that'll keep stinging him | the rest of his life?

My God, he must've been | seeing this woman for years.

Castrate him! | I want to castrate him.

Wouldn't it be better | if we struck at the core | of Sam's being,

- his reason for living? | - What would that be?

His testicles!

Would you know in | complete detail what Sam's | total net worth would be,

not just the big stuff, | the little stuff too, | down to the last penny?

Yeah... | I think so.

Good. I want you | to write it down in | as much detail as you can.

Fire up the stove. | Get the tofu burgers | from the freezer.

We're calling Sam.

My tux, | my silk tux.

Et tu, Adolph? | Et tu?

[ Whimpering ]

Phone Ringing

- Hello? | - Kenny Hi, Sam.

Oh, thank God it's you! | I've been thinking about | your last offer.

I think you're right. | I cannot refuse.

$10,000 is fair | and totally acceptable.

She's in bad shape, Sam. | We've been torturing her.

- [ Sizzling ] | - Aaah!

[ Sizzling ]

- Aaah! | - Don't kill her!

We found out your wife | is worth quite a bit | more than $10,000.

- What do you mean? | - We changed our minds.

We've upped | the ransom.

- To what? | - We're up to $2 million.

$2 million?

You outta your f***ing mind? | Where'd you get an incredible | figure like that?

Oh, you'd be surprised at | the quality and quantity...

of information a | lit cigarette can provide.

[ Barbara Screaming ]

- [ Kenny ] What else? | - Shh!

Gems! He's got | rare gems in the safe. | Oh, Sam, forgive me.

- What kind of gems? How many? | - I don't know.

- Aaah! | - Sizzling

Aaah!

Four flawless | one-karat diamonds!

The b*tch blabbed.

Apparently, you got | a million-two built up in | equity on Sam's Sportswear,

another 350,000 | in your pension plan.

General Dynamics closed | at 75 and 3/4 today,

which brings another | 175,000 to the party.

45,000 for the Excalibur | and now there's the four | one-karat diamonds in the safe.

You inhuman slime!

Dial Tone

[ TV Announcer] | After his release yesterday,

Mr. Stone continued | to deny the charges...

despite what the district | attorney's office insists | is overwhelming evidence.

Overwhelming evidence is right! | What more do they want?

How could | they let him go?

- Hello? | - Hello. It's me again.

I see Sam Stone's | been released.

It's not easy keeping a man in jail | with these liberal courts.

A man is innocent | until proven guilty.

Well, how do you think | these courts would feel...

- if I gave that tape to the media? | - Oh, my... God.

Yeah! | They'd go crazy for it.

They love to show | sick stuff like that.

It'd probably be on national TV | 24 hours a day for weeks!

I bet that'd get | a hell of a reaction.

Please, please | don't do that.

Where's your sense | of compassion?

Why do you have | to be so vicious?

Vicious? | Have you seen that tape?

Come on! | What's the big deal?

It's just a lonely man who | wanted a little excitement.

That kind of thing happens every day. | Everybody does it!

I don't believe this.

I don't believe | you said that!

Men get the urge.

- We're only human. | - You're sick.

Hello? No, | don't hang up on me!

- So, what'd he say? | - Something strange | is happening here.

Either the chief | is a complete moron,

and complete | morons are rare,

or he's playing games | with me.

We better find someplace | where we can look at that tape.

- This is perfect. | - It is?

Give me the tape.

Okay.

- [ Moaning ] | - [ Man ] Ho, ho-ho!

- You idiot! This isn't Sam. | - And he isn't killing her.

[ Woman ] | That's my husband!

Barbara really | was kidnapped.
