Hell no! Why should I?

Let his f***ing fiancee pay 'em off.

Honey?

- Are you awake?|- Yeah.

Melvin, I'm really starting|to dislike you.

I didn't find my money!

You all right, babe?

Yeah.

Hello? Cisco, what's up, man?

Mel, what's up, kid?

That thing you got goin' for tomorrow?|Can I still get in?

Yo, Gump...

I don't want no fuckups|on this kidnapping.

Come on. I ain't like that no more!|You know I gots my sh*t-

Together. You gots your sh*t together.

You non-word-remembering|motherf***er.

Cisco, I don't know about|no kidnapping sh*t.

- A hundred large apiece.|- A hundred?

Word up.|Here's the deal.

There's this rich Japanese industrialist|named Jiro Nishi.

- Nishi Electric?|- The one and only, baby.

- Richest motherf***er on the seaboard.|- How do you know he's gonna pay?

You're starting to sound like a b*tch.|"How do you know he's gonna pay?"

I gots this sh*t covered.

That motherf***er Nishi's got millions|in cash laying around his crib.

This motherf***er's loaded!

It was a legitimate question.

Thaf's it, Mr. Nishi.|You are officia/ly broke.

Everything. How could this|have happened?

You knew the market was bearish.|It was risky making that movie.

All my life, I wanted to make|a big Hollywood movie!

I understand. "Taste The Golden Spray"|was a big movie, a huge movie.

Actually, it was|the biggest movie ever made.

Maybe you shouldn't have directed|and starred in it.

I'm not the first person|to make big movie.

I know. But gold leaf posters|for everybody? That was excessive.

I need to pick up my daughter|at college.

And?

I can't afford to pay the driver.

For crying out loud!|How much is it gonna cost?

It's a stretch limo.

Stretch this.

F*** ass no!|Hell no!

No advances. I've got my chips|wrapped up in the Grande Pinoche.

Ask Crunch. He's got spare loot.

He don't spend it on sh*t|except maybe some smut.

Can you hook me with 25 g's|until we do this?

You need it for that|sell-out b*tch again, don't you?

- Who's a b*tch?|- Get the f*** outta here.

Get with the program.

Straight jackin' saves you|that mad cream.

Oh, well.

Give me a call at the crib later.|I'll hook you up.

Good looking out, man.

I don't know why I'm encouraging you.|F*** both them b*tches.

If they're running you through|that much sh*t, dump both their asses.

- Where the hell is that limo?|- I can't, man.

- What do you mean, you can't?|- I just can't. Okay?

How the f*** come|you can't dump these two...

whack-ass, money-grubbing,|no-respect-giving b*tches?

- The truth?|- Yeah, I want the truth.

You can't handle truth!

Shut the f*** up!

The truth is I can't stand the idea|of them not liking me anymore.

The idea of those two women|not liking me is more than I can stand.

I can't stand the idea|of anybody not liking me. Okay?

There, I said it.|The truth. That's the truth.

- Yo, Mel?|- What?

The hundred or so people you murdered|in the past five years...

more than likely have relatives|who don't think too highly of you.

- Hello?|- Hey, baby.

- What's up, girl?|- You know why I called, don'f you?

I don't know.|Why did you call me?

Because, Melvin,|I'm getfing sick of your ass!

- Why do you always procrasfinate?|- Stand up to her, Mel.

Melvin, why are you|always lying to me-

Car trouble?

Puf thaf damn phone fo your ear.

Mel, show her you're the man.

Whaf are you doing?|Playing wifh your friends?

You are pafhefic.

A much deserved and hard-won reputation.|Am I still riding with you?

- Don't push my hand away.|- Stop!

What's your problem?|You're an ice queen today.

- Stop!|- Good afternoon, Miss Nishi.

Hi. Who are you?|Where's Aaron?

He couldn't make it today. He's sick.|Is this yours?

Yeah.

See ya.

Sir, I think it would better if you|could get a ride from somebody else.

Bro, don't worry about me.

Drive the car.|That's what you're paid to do.

And don't forget my suitcase.

Careful with that case, bro!|There's fragile crystal in there.

You break it,|you'll be back driving cabs.

Sorry about that, sir.

- Bro?|- Yes, sir?

Skipper, Professor, take care|of that mess in the backseat.

You must be the millionaire.

Pretty soon.

"Father, I have been abduct.|I am fine. "

Abducted.

- It says "abduct. "|- Just say abducted.

"I have been abducted. I am fine now,|but I may not be for loring.

If you do not pay the sun|of one million doolers-"

- "Loring"? "Sun of one million doolers"?|- That's what it says.

That's "long" and the "sum"|of one million "dollars. "

- You know what it means.|- You told me to read this.

- That's what I'm doing.|- Say what it means.

Be careful with that one.|That's Lance's crystal. It's fragile.

"I may not be for long. If you do not|pay the sum of one million dollars...

you will never see me alive again|as these men mean businesses. "

Who wrote this?

- Crunch!|- What?

I think he's pissed about the note.

It says "businesses. "

You told me to read the note.|You never said to improv it.

Improv! Are you Meryl-f***ing-Streep?|Okay, improv the note.

These sexually frustrated|degenerate losers mean business.

Don't, don't improv.|Don't improv the note.

Gump, give me a f***ing pen!

"Dad, been kidnapped.|Send one million or I'm dead. "

Perfect.

Yo, Mel, my player,|here go the scenario.

Since Chantel is cool, take homegirl|and store her at your place.

- 'Cause why?|- 'Cause!

'Cause that's the best plan right now.|Just do what I say.

Ben Ramsey

Ben Ramsey (December 28, 1903 – March 27, 1985) was a Texas politician who served in a succession of offices during the mid-20th century. He served in both Houses of the Texas Legislature, as secretary of state, 34th Lieutenant Governor, and as member of the Texas Railroad Commission. Ramsey was born on December 28, 1903, in San Augustine in San Augustine County in east Texas, the son of William Charles and Emma Jenkins Ramsey. He attended San Augustine public schools and worked on the family farm. After finishing high school, he worked three years in his father's law and abstract office, then enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin. He passed the state bar examination before graduation and was licensed to practice law in 1931. Ramsey was elected to the Texas House of Representatives and served two terms. Afterward he returned to San Augustine to practice law with his brother for five years. In 1940, he was elected to the first of two four-year terms to the Texas State Senate. He became a Senate leader in anti-deficit legislation and legislation to regulate labor unions. In 1949, Governor Beauford H. Jester chose Ramsey to be Texas Secretary of State. In 1950, Ramsey resigned from the position before being elected to statewide office as Lieutenant Governor of Texas and was re-elected in 1952, 1954, 1956, 1958, and 1960 for six two-year terms. When Governor Allan Shivers's conservative branch of Texas Democrats clashed with the state's more liberal Democrats, led by U.S. Senate Majority Leader (and future U.S. President) Lyndon B. Johnson and U.S. House Speaker Samuel T. Rayburn of Texas, the two factions agreed to support Ramsey as a member of the National Democratic Committee. In fiscal affairs, especially opposition to higher taxes, Ramsey was considered conservative. Despite this, he supported Governor Shivers in raising revenue necessary for higher teachers' pay, state hospitals, and prisons. Like Shivers, he was an enemy of labor unions. He strongly supported rural electrification, water conservation and development, paving of farm roads, and stricter laws regulation what he called "fly-by-night insurance companies." On September 18, 1961, he resigned from the lieutenant governorship in the middle of his sixth term in office, after being appointed by Governor Price Daniel to the Texas Railroad Commission. The next year, he was elected to the unexpired term and in 1964 and 1970, was re-elected to full six-year terms. He served three two-year terms as chairman. Just before his appointment to the commission, Texas was successful in achieving control over offshore oil (see Tidelands controversy), and Ramsey helped composed the rules for Texas coastal drilling. He chose not to run for re-election to a third six-year term in 1976 and retired from public office in 1977 following 26 years in statewide elected office. Ramsey was married to Florine Hankla of San Augustine, and the couple had three daughters, Rita, Ann and MariBen. He died on March 27, 1985 and was buried in San Augustine. more…
