Yeah. You want a horse?

I said...yes!

A horse? A horse, a Polack,

What's the difference?

It's the same thing.

You want a horse?

You got a horse.

[imitates a horse]

Just a minute.

You'll be hung

In a moment.

Ok. Here you go. Ok!

Say good-bye to Marlon!

So long!

How are you feeling?

Is that ok?

It hurts.

What?

It really hurts.

You're resisting again.

You know that?

You sound just

Like Donald Duck.

Wait, you're

Hurting my neck.

I...ooh...oh!

Ow!

Owwww!

Wait a minute!

Don't ever

Do that to me again!

I was almost dead!

One more minute,

I would've

Been dead!

Let go of me,

You fool!

Don't ever

Stop like that!

When you got me

Like that,

Don't ever stop.

Do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

Yes, I understand.

I don't think

You understand.

I don't think you...

Understand at all.

Understand at all.

I'll have to do

This thing myself.

Marlon.

What is it, Sonny?

Good-bye, Marlon.

What?

Good-bye!

No, wait a minute!

Wait for me!

I'm a failure!

You certainly are.

But not for long.

That man's nuts.

Grab him!

Grab him!

[speaking Japanese]

[speaking Japanese]

Aahhh!

Sonny,

Wait for me!

Sonny,

Wait for me!

Come back here!

I certainly hope my father

Likes it here.

I'm sure he will.

He seems like

A very nice man.

Keep your hands

Off of me, stubby!

Keep your hands

Off of me, stubby!

It sure seems nice here.

Are there many,

Uh, uh, cra--

No, no, no.

I would say merely

Mildly irrational.

I got one!

I got one!

[chuckles]

Mr. Petersen has one.

His expression.

His expression.

Yeh-hoo-hoo!

Aah!

Aah!

Ohh!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Holy sh*t!

Holy sh*t!

Hi!

Oh, no! Go away!

Oh, no! Go away!

Get off, off,

Off, off, off.

Get off!

I can't see!

It's a challenge.

Someone wants

To play chicken.

Someone wants

To play chicken.

Pull over!

Guts is part

Of learning to drive.

Get out of the way!

[horns honking]

You turkey!

You turkey!

Ooh, my goodness.

Aah!

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

It's a ramp!

It's a ramp!

Ahhhh!

Ahhhh!

Ahhhh!

Ahhhh!

[laughing]

That was terrific!

Do it again!

Bye, Marlon.

Ooh, Sonny!

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

What's happening?

The Polish assassin has just

Escaped from that insane asylum.

He's very dangerous.

He's a killer.

What'd he look like?

He's wearing white pants,

White shirt.

Round face, bald.

Round face, bald.

[snorts]

Ohh.

Ohh.

Free!

The Polish prince is free!

Free!

The Polish prince is free!

Sweetheart,

Can I get

You something?

Can I get

You something?

You got any water?

Some water, um...

Some water, um...

Oh, a 10.

Oh, a 10.

Mary Ellen,

If you're going to make

Glasses out of jelly jars,

Can you at least

Take the jelly out first?

Never mind.

Never mind.

Sonny, you should

Be in a hospital,

Shouldn't you?

I'm not going to

Hospitals anymore.

I'm not going anywhere

Where they

Have any control

Over your life...

Or your death.

Over your life...

Or your death.

What are you

Looking for?

What are you

Looking for?

My clothes.

Where are they?

Where are they?

Here are your clothes.

I ironed 'em.

Here are your clothes.

I ironed 'em.

It's not my clothes

I'm looking for,

And you know it.

And you know it.

I hid it.

I hid it.

You're never

Gonna find it.

You're not

Even warm.

Aha!

Exactly where I thought

It would be.

Hidden under

The cat crap.

Hidden under

The cat crap.

I'm gonna call

The police.

Don't touch

That phone.

I'll shoot...

Myself.

That's right, baby.

Put down that phone

Or Ill splatter my brains

All over these walls.

Of course, on these walls,

Who would notice?

Sonny, you

Drive me crazy!

You put a gun

To your head--

Mary Ellen,

Will you stop?

You put that thing

To your head.

Come on, help me off

With my pants.

You drive me crazy.

Help me off with my pants!

Sonny.

Yes.

I feel that maybe

If Id done

Something different.

I don't know.

If Id have loved you

A little bit more...

If Id have loved you

A little bit more...

Maybe you

Wouldn't be dying.

Maybe it's

All my fault.

Maybe I caused it.

Oh, don't be silly,

Mary Ellen.

You can't give somebody

A blood disease.

That's a gift

From god.

If I could've just...

Loved you

A little bit more.

Loved you

A little bit more.

Something.

No, I don't think you could

Have done anything, Mary Ellen.

Well, maybe if you'd

Just come one time.

Well, maybe if you'd

Just come one time.

No, actually, you did

Everything you could.

I'm sorry.

No, you did

Everything you could.

I didn't!

You did, you did.

No, I didn't.

I got more out of

The relationship than you did.

With all my bitching

And moaning,

I got more out of

The relationship.

Because I loved you,

I loved you completely,

And you never did really

Love me completely,

And--and I was always

Fascinated by that.

You know what I mean?

No.

Well, it's like me.

I mean, if you think about it,

I think that's why

I just kept, you know,

Hanging on and hanging on.

Doesn't that

Sound like me?

Yeah, it does

Sound like you.

I'll tell you something else,

Mary Ellen...

With all this sh*t...

All this sh*t...

All this sh*t...

You always

Turned me on.

Always.

That's something,

Isn't it?

Yeah.

Well, doesn't

That make you kind of...

Understand

A little bit better

What I want to do?

I mean...

Suicide.

I think Im starting

To understand.

I do.

Maybe it means

I'm growing up.

I guess Ive

Just been selfish,

Wanting to

Keep you around

A little bit longer.

But hell,

Sonny, do what

You have to do.

Sonny, do what

You have to do.

You mean

I can do it?

I can kill myself?

I can kill myself?

Aw...

Aw...

Oh, baby.

Oh, baby.

But if you

Really love me...

Oh, Sonny,

God, you

Drive me crazy!

You're always

Picking on me!

I can't do

Anything right!

I got to go, baby.

I can't let you go.

I got to go off somewhere

And swallow lead.

I have to tell you

Something first.

What, that you

Screwed some guy?

I don't care about that now.

I got a date with a .38.

Who was it?

That guy on the honda?

Oh, my god!

Don't tell me that!

No, it's nothing

Like that.

I have to tell you...

The gun isn't loaded.

What?

I took all the bullets

Out of it

When you gave it to me.

I thought somebody

Would hurt themselves.

That was

A stupid thing to do.

You know I know how

To handle a gun.

Ohh!

Whoo ha ha ha! Ha!

Sshhh!

Well, I thought

I unloaded it.

God damn! Everything

You do is half-assed.

Ohh, Sonny,

You get out of my house!

Just get out of my house!

I'm glad I didn't

Kill myself here.

It'd take 6 months

To find the body.

It'd take 6 months

To find the body.

He missed.

Chickenshit.

Chickenshit.

Sonny,

Where you going?

Wait!

Wait!

[hissing]

[hissing]

Aah!

You dirty rat!

Ohh! He's scared!

You! I hope your nuts rust!

You! I hope your nuts rust!

%% and now %%
