The Gumball Rally Page #5

---

...with chocolate cookies on the dashboard

if it weren't for a movie?

Well, I wouldn't know anything about that.

All I know is the law's still the law.

Listen, officer, you...

I mean, absolutely, you're right.

I mean, we were speeding, but...

Oh, hey, wait a minute. This is perfect.

You could help us.

Help you? Help you do what?

Sure.

Sure, the whole mise en scene...

...that leads into the exposition,

and the dnouement...

...and the intention. It's perfect...

- Wait a minute.

Let me get this straight.

Are you trying to tell me that...

...you want me to be in your movie?

Well, I mean...

...that is, if you've got

five minutes, and...

...you know, if you'd like to be

in a Hollywood film, sure.

I don't know, l...

Avila, call Clint and see

if they're ready, okay?

- And tell them that we have Officer...

- Williams.

Officer Williams here,

and we'd like to use him.

God, you sure got

a good-looking smile.

Okay. Hey, old buddy...

...they wanna see his face.

Officer Williams, step down here

by your car for me.

- For just a second, would you, please?

- Sure.

Stand over here or something. Pose.

You know, something like that, huh?

- Yeah.

- All right.

- This is preliminary stuff for the camera.

- Sure.

- Focus, stuff like that.

- Sure.

- How's that?

- Okay?

Yeah, fine.

Just turn the chin around a little.

- Yeah.

- No, no... Just a...

Just give me the chin

a little bit this way.

- That...

- Oh, I see what you mean.

Yeah, you got it.

God, you got a great profile.

Hey, old buddy, they got it

and they say it's A-okay.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Listen, this is what we're gonna do.

Avila and I are gonna get in the car

and go down about two miles, okay?

We're gonna turn around

and come barrel-assing...

...back through this way.

- Then you get in your...

- I get in my car and chase you.

You got it, that's it. Perfect.

Hey, wait a minute.

Don't I gotta put on some makeup?

Makeup?

Hey, does Charlie Bronson wear makeup?

Charlie who?

Bronson.

Oh, yeah. That little guy. Right.

- All right, buddy. Let's go, they're rolling.

- Oh, okay.

Scene 14, take two, hand mark.

Come on, now.

Let me see those pearly whites. Smile.

That's it. Action.

God, can't you turn off the heater?

Either the engine gets hot, or we get hot.

Well, I'm gonna have a stroke.

You're gonna have a stroke?

I should be so lucky.

Because if you don't stop

playing that music...

I can't stand you!

I swear to God, I'm gonna kill you!

I liked Joe.

He was sweet.

Aren't you gonna talk to me anymore?

You gotta admit,

he was a good mechanic.

He fixed the car faster than we could.

Furthermore...

...we didn't lose much time.

We made time, as a matter of fact.

It was love at first sight.

Are you crazy?

Love at first sight?

Out there? The middle of the night?

The middle of a field under the stars?

A girl can't always find

the perfect spot.

I think Roscoe's gonna give it

one more try before L.A.

I didn't hear anything on the radio.

- Maybe he's getting smart.

- Howdy.

Howdy.

Couldn't help but overhear

your conversation.

Wrong, thank you.

- I'm gonna get back on the road.

- No, no.

Too many police cars

go down the road this morning.

- See where they went?

- Nope...

...but I could find out.

Well, you got a deal.

You guys seem to need a rabbit.

- Are you volunteering?

- Oh, listen, listen.

I play, but l... I play for pay.

You want the road cleared out,

it's gonna cost you $500 cash...

...paid in advance.

Five hundred dollars, paid in advance?

Could be worth it.

Yeah, well...

...suit yourselves, okay?

What the hell's

the matter with him?

Don't make babies like this anymore.

Give me six for the lead time, okay?

That's the ugliest car I ever saw.

Looks like a jukebox.

Well, they got them,

right behind me yet.

- Ferrari and a Cobra.

- How far back?

I don't wanna talk about that.

Let's have the money, huh?

That's it, that's it.

There, that's good.

Thanks...

...lieutenant.

- Get out of here.

- Want one of those?

- No, thanks.

You know...

...I smell something.

- You smell something?

Yeah, a weasel in a rabbit suit.

Old Roscoe, huh?

Maybe we're being too cynical.

- We should be more positive, more trusting.

- Oh, get out of here, will you?

Let's go.

Sam.

We're 27 minutes ahead

of last year's schedule.

But Franco's driving again.

Well, with a little bit of luck

and some pure Yankee style...

All right, you two,

on the hill with the other car.

All right, everybody, hear this.

It's plan B. Move out.

Come on, now, move out. Get moving.

Number one, move it. Go in.

Come on, you guys. Let's hustle it here.

Come on!

Take it out of here.

How inadequate.

Fifty-five miles an hour, Roscoe.

No.

Why?

Why me?

You're an a**hole, Roscoe, that's why.

Well, good morning to you too.

How can you fall asleep?

lt was easy, you said, "Relax."

And the car is comfortable.

Comfortable? lt's a $40,000 car.

Of course it's comfortable.

When we get to Hollywood,

if you like it so much, I'll buy you one.

- What's the matter with you?

- Hollywood.

Nothing's the matter.

You're so goddamn stupid.

You think you'll walk the streets

of Hollywood, meet a producer...

- What are you talking about?

- He'll make you a movie star.

You told me that if I went...

I told you a lot of things

because you were freaking out on me.

- All I wanted you was... For you to like me.

- I like you.

- For you to be... You like me?

- Yes, I like you.

I been thinking all night...

...and I'll tell you what.

You ain't right for me.

You're a goddamn hustler.

- That's what you are.

- You wanna know who I am?

I'm the girl who's gonna

punch you in the nose.

You don't understand anything about me!

What's that? What the hell is that?

Look at that.

- Oh, what is this?

- Slow down.

Why does it always happen to me?

Believe this?

Wait, I'm trying to drive.

- Slow down.

- I can't. You crazy?

- How am I gonna slow down?

- Would you just...?

I can't see. Look at...

What the hell was that?

What the hell was that?

Oh, my God.

Oh, this is cute.

Oh, my God.

Look what happened.

Hello, smart boy.

You know what we do

to finks and traitors?

- It was a joke, man...

- A joke?

- Sorry, man...

- You're sorry, huh?

- Listen...

- After it's too late to do anything about it?

I am going to mark you

with the gumball gun.

No.

Now you are marked...

...for life!

Vitamin C?

Just for good luck.

You really think we got a chance?

Hey, Roscoe.

- Las Vegas, now arriving...

- Don't ask, Clancy.

- What happened?

Look, I'm tired. All I wanna do

is go home. They beat me.

- You understand?

- Didn't you nail any of them?

- Look, just don't ask me.

- Jesus, Roscoe, all that...

- Clancy!

- Roscoe...

...you look terrible.

Well it's one of those

Los Angeles days, Gene.

We're hovering over the Civic Center.

We can see traffic backing up.

We got a sig alert working

on Santa Monica...
