then we finalize the sale.

I drive you to the airport, no problem.

- Rico, let's go.

- Great.

Why...? Why is he...?

What is he doing?

- Hey... No...

- [Carlo speaks in Spanish]

- [in English] We're going now. Come on.

- What?

- Why is he in the trunk?

- He likes to be alone.

That's weird.

Is your cousin gonna be fine in the trunk?

[speaking in Spanish,

then man speaking in Spanish over phone]

I couldn't help but notice

your rich Central American accent.

It's just so beautiful,

the way it flows off your tongue.

I mean, what is that?

Belize? Nicaraguan? Salvadorean?

Let's go a little further down.

We are almost there.

[man whistles, then yells indistinctly]

[indistinct chattering]

Sh*t.

- [cell phone ringing]

- Oh, my boss.

- See? He's such a worrywart.

- Turn it off.

He'll probably send out an amber alert

if I don't check in.

I never know how

to mute these things, actually.

[chuckling]

Okay, yeah.

- Okay, very funny.

- [whistling]

Can we not do this while I drive? Please?

I have a phobia about things

going near my eye. It's... [gasps]

Please, don't do this, okay?

You want the car, it's your car.

I won't tell the cops. Just let me go.

[American accent]

I don't want the car.

See that pink house?

Wait, what happened to your accent?

Why would you fake an accent?

Because it made you feel more comfortable.

That's really a social commentary

on why you're more empathetic

to people who speak with accents.

Now I'm gonna ask you one more time.

You're gonna slowly pull up

to that pink house,

and on my cue, you'll drive away fast.

Can you do that?

You mean the purple one?

- It's pink.

- No, that's more of a mauve if anything.

- It's f***ing pink.

- To be honest,

I'm not the best for this job.

I'm a great team leader.

My rsum speaks to that.

But being a getaway driver is not one

of my strong points... Strong suits.

Is that a yes?

Yes. I'm feeling very spontaneous today.

Let's do it. Yeah.

[man 1] Can't wait for you to see what

I got my mom for Mother's Day, man.

[man 2] I forgot that was coming, blood.

- Damn.

- [man 1] What?

- You ain't got Mama something?

- [man 2] No.

Out of all my favorite beaches,

I'm f***ing with Hermosa the most, man.

[man 2] Hell, no, nigga. That Caesar.

[man 1] Not pizzas.

- I said, out of all the beaches and sh*t.

- [man 2] Oh, you said beaches.

[man 1] Yeah. [Laughs]

- [man 2] What the hell?

- Blood, my...

Oh. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[man 1] What's cracking, coz?

- What you looking at?

- I ain't never seen that car

on the street before.

[Carlo] Now, on my cue,

you pop the trunk.

- Got it?

- Got it.

One.

Two.

Three. Now!

Guatemalan boys say hello!

[Carlo laughing]

[laughing]

Pull off! Pull off!

[tires squealing]

Take that!

[Chester] Oh, God! Oh, God!

Motherf***er!

- Can't this piece of sh*t go faster?!

- I f***ing hate Craigslist!

Go!

[Chester screaming]

Don't slow down.

What the f*** are you doing?

Sorry, Carlo. Just give me one second.

I'm sorry about that.

I'm sorry.

Oh, God.

From now on, when I say "don't pull over,"

and you pull over,

I am going to consider that disobedience.

And what do you do

when a dog disobeys you?

You put that b*tch down.

Now...

you're gonna drop us off at our car.

[Rico and Carlo speaking in Spanish]

- [in English] Okay.

- Let's go.

[Carlo speaking in Spanish]

[Rico laughing, then Carlo laughing]

[Carlo speaking in Spanish]

[in English]

Whoa. Where are you going?

[Chester] A shortcut.

The streets in L.A. are a death trap,

so, I'm taking the highway.

Trust me, this is the fastest route.

[Carlo] You better be right.

[car horns honking]

[Carlo sighs] Faster, huh?

How was I supposed

to know there's construction?

You know, they should invent an app

that tells you if a highway's

backed up due to construction,

and how to take detours.

- That's a smart idea. That's...

- That's Waze.

You just described

the most popular map app

that was bought by Google

for 1.2 billion dollars.

[both speaking in Spanish]

[in English]

One-point-three. Gracias, Rico.

You guys are pretty current

with the, uh, Silicon Valley news.

That's... That's impressive.

We love reading about app mergers.

Get off this exit.

Okay.

Oh, hey, come on, dude.

See this? Typical L.A. driver, man.

- Probably late to his audition.

- [car horn honks]

- Hey, man, easy on the horn.

- [Chester] You're not gonna get the part.

- [car horn honking]

- Come on.

[horn continues honking]

Easy on the horn!

There's a million other actors like you.

- It's not going for you.

- It's not going for me?

You know,

I'm driving a V-8 drop-top Bentley.

So, yeah, it's going for me pretty well.

What's up with your car?

Is that real leather? Doubt it.

What, is that plastic? [Chuckling]

This is a 1997 vintage car.

He thinks he's better than me

'cause he drives imported sh*t?

When you talk sh*t about people,

you should roll up your window.

Might have to do it manually.

You know, manually?

You know that word?

When you talk sh*t to someone

on the freeway, - Stop.

Make sure you're

not driving a $100,000 car!

- I dare you.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- [banging and glass breaking]

- F***!

- You kidding me?

- See what you made me do?

- Sh*t!

- I made you do?

- I'm crazy when I drive.

- Didn't see a car?

- Don't talk sh*t to someone.

- Out of the car.

- I take melatonin every night.

- Hey, hey, hey! Get in the car!

- [Carlo yelling in Spanish]

- Hey!

What's happening?

[continues yelling in Spanish]

[in English] It doesn't matter.

[horns honking]

F***. F***.

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

Come on.

[door bells ringing]

[music playing over speaker]

Stapler? No...

The truck.

[dispatcher] 911, what's your emergency?

I was robbed at gunpoint

by two Guatemalans in a pickup truck.

They stole my car

and are trying to kill me.

- Hold, sir. I'll transfer your call.

- No. Don't put me on hold.

- Sir, it'll just be a second.

- No. Don't put me... [grunts]

Fine. I'm dead.

[hissing]

[Johnny] Hey, Chris.

Rise and shine, man.

It's a beautiful morning.

[Johnny laughing]

- Ow!

- [Johnny chuckles]

- You should see...

- What the f***?

- Piece of sh*t.

- [laughing]

- You trying to get up?

- Get off!

- You trying to get up? [Whoops]

- Get out of my room!

- Your face looks like my a**hole!

- F*** you!

Oh, yeah. Thanks.

You're the best. I never feel it.

Hey, I just posted that video.

It's already got like 15,000 loops.

Check it out, Patti.

[Chris over cell phone] Ow!

- What the f***?

- [laughing] Look at his face.

- You look like a paraplegic. Doesn't he?

- Yeah, he does.

You mean quadriplegic?

Paraplegic has nothing to do

with the face.

Oh. "You mean quadriplegic?"

Paraplegic has nothing

to do with the face."

[blowing raspberry]

[Johnny] Holy sh*t.

Are you seeing this spot-on impression

Patti's doing of you?

I'm seeing double over here.

Nicely done, Patti. Keep it coming.
