The Blues Brothers Page #6

Synopsis: After the release of Jake Blues from prison, he and brother Elwood go to visit "The Penguin", the last of the nuns who raised them in a boarding school. They learn the Archdiocese will stop supporting the school and will sell the place to the Education Authority. The only way to keep the place open is if the $5000 tax on the property is paid within 11 days. The Blues Brothers want to help, and decide to put their blues band back together and raise the money by staging a big gig. As they set off on their "mission from God" they seem to make more enemies along the way. Will they manage to come up with the money in time?

with 300 friends and relatives

in attendance.

Rumanian caterers in the state.

To obtain the seven limousines...

my father used up his last favours

with Mad Pete Trullo.

So for me, for my mother...

my grandmother, my father,

my uncle and for the common good...

I must now kill you

and your brother.

Oh, please don't kill us!

You know I love you, baby! I wouldn't

leave you! It wasn't my fault!

You miserable slug!

You thinkyou can talkyour way

out ofthis? You betrayed me!

No, I didn't. Honest!

I ran out of gas!

I had a flat tyre!

I didn't have money for cab fare!

My tux didn't come back

from the cleaners.

And old friend came in

from out oftown!

Someone stole my car! There was

an earthquake! A terrible flood!

Locusts! It wasn't my fault,

I swear to God!

Jake, honey.

Let's go.

Take it easy.

You're now going to

totally demolish that car.

You want to maybe consider

going after the Blues Brothers?

It's 1 06 miles to Chicago.

We got a full tank of gas,

halfa pack ofcigarettes...

and we're wearing sunglasses.
