- We're all heroes?

Well, you are all heroes

to me.

- Even Susie?

- Of course Susie.

She's afraid of simply be

a human being

and after deal with

other human beings.

You're gonna need an agent.

Well...

isn't that what you've always

wanted to be?

But others had a mission too.

A mission leading

to a mistery.

What do you want?

I'm checking the fuses.

Power's out upstairs.

Good morning, John.

Not Schwanger. She's the mother type.

What'd she be doing with a gun?

How would I know?

I'll tell you something else

that's weird.

Miss Miscarriage asked me

to come up to her apartment.

- Yeah?

- Do you think she likes me?

You should go.

- Now?

- No.

Now is not necessary

that you go. Come in.

I will lock the door.

Please, leave.

Just leave the Hotel New Hampshire.

- The what?

- From Vienna.

And make sure Lilly,

especially Lilly leaves.

- What are you talking about?

- We're going to blow up the Opera.

Get your family out.

Especially Lilly,

little Lilly.

- You'll have to come with us.

- I can't.

Why not?

Because I drive the car. And

in the car is a bomb.

It sets off the main bomb

in the Opera.

You'll be killed.

I'm expendable.

It's the hostages part

I don't like.

What hostages?

You and your family, because

you're Americans.

Because Americans make

great publicity as hostages.

- Please, you've got to get away.

- Come with us.

Will you do something for me?

What?

Please, f*** me.

I just want to feel it one time.

- Do you have any protection?

- It doesn't matter.

Why not?

Because I'll be dead before

the baby is born.

Am I the first?

You're the first...

and the last.

Do everything to me.

Is that it? Is that everything?

You want more?

Not especially.

I just wanted to have it done

it all once.

If we have done it all,

you must get back.

You should go.

You must leave today

or tomorrow.

Take Lilly with you.

Give Lilly my love.

Make sure she hears

from me.

Say goodbye.

John, where have you been?

We've been trying to find you.

Listen, Lilly is gonna get published.

This publisher in New York

is gonna buy her book.

- Listen.

- Frank is gonna negotiate the deal.

- What?

- They're gonna blow the Opera.

Who's they?

- The radicals.

- What are you talking about?

March!

What dream is this?

Line up!

So explain yourselves.

It's quite simple to explain.

We have two bombs.

The big bomb will explode

in the Opera.

Of course, it won't kill

everyone,

just the people in the front seats,

the orchestra.

But the big bomb has to be set off

by a little bomb...

in the car.

I drive to the Opera, then

I get out.

Then other driver gets in the car,

counts ten, floors it, pop, zing, boom!

So we need a driver.

- I'll drive.

- No, you can't.

If one of us has to drive,

I'm much better driver.

I swear to God if you make

my father to drive, I'll kill you, Ernst.

We don't want to hurt

your father, Franny.

It's me. I'm the driver.

And if you f*** it up,

we shoot them all.

How can a blind man drive a car,

you morons?

Most terrorists fail because

they take hostages,

but they only threaten

with violence.

But we are beginning

with the violence.

It's a necessary phase.

Like you were, Franny.

You slept with Ernst, Franny?

Sorry.

- It was a necessary phase.

- Don't move!

My daughter was a necessary phase?

Get back! Get back!

Stand back, stand back.

Is he dead?

Forget him.

One hitch can spoil our plan.

- You don't have to drive the car.

- Of course I have to do it, Win Berry.

Goodbye, little Lilly.

Goodbye, Sussie dear.

You're a prince, Frank.

Goodbye, Franny.

Bye, weight lifter.

I love you, Win Berry.

And I'm sorry that I got you

into the hotel business.

I don't need your assistance.

- Just let me feel the fender.

- No, in here! Where are you going?

- Yes, here it's is the headlight, right?

- You fool!

No!

Hold still, Pop.

Hold still.

Easy. Easy. Easy.

- It's gonna be all right.

- I can't see.

- Pop?

- I can't see.

The American publishers paid

a lot of money for Lilly's book.

Maybe they wouldn't have

if we hadn't been famous

for saving the Opera

and murdering the terrorists in our

good American family kind of way.

- This is just like a fairy tale.

- You mean we're going to be rich?

Yeah, Pop, you can have anything

you want. It's all yours. Here you go.

Back home a football injury

started Junior on a new career.

I sure miss football, though.

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

Hey, why don't you tell your father

I'll trade him my knees for his eyes.

Yeah, whatta you gonna give me

for my knees?

To Lilly.

To Lilly.

Anything you need just call

Room Service.

Lilly's publishers are picking up

the bills.

Room Service?

I've never been in a hotel

with room service before.

Frank. Is Franny gonna get that part

in the movie of Lilly's book?

Most certainly. With a good agent,

you have the world by the balls.

I just set up a three book contract

for Lilly.

That's the problem.

I'm lucky now.

But I've gotta keep growing.

I gotta get better.

My next book has to be

even bigger.

Just coast for a while.

The cash flow is terrifically liquid.

I'd like to live her forever.

Just so long as you have

a chaperone.

You know who I need

a chaperone from?

You and Franny have a bomb

between you.

One day it's gonna blow you away,

unless you do something about it.

One day we're going to have to do

something about the bear in you.

Well...

Look who's here.

I've enjoyed hearing

from Franny.

- Who's Franny?

- She's my sister.

Your friend here raped her.

- He and a bunch of guys.

- Oh, no!

Listen, I'll explain it to you later.

All right?

Is Franny here too?

Yes, she's in New York.

She is?

Tell her I'd like to see her.

Why do you wanna see her?

Well, to apologize.

Amongst other things.

Why don't you go and see her

yourself?

- She's at the Ritz Carlton.

- Franny's staying at the Ritz Carlton?

They own the hotel.

I'll definitely call.

Well, must be going.

Can't keep the lady waiting.

Why the f*** did you tell him

where she was?

Because at last she can deal

with him.

How can I go outside? He could be

waiting for me. He could be anywhere.

He's not gonna hurt you again.

Of course you're afraid.

But once you get over the fear,

you can get to the anger,

and then you're home free.

He called me up today. I couldn't say

anything. I couldn't even talk to him.

Lilly had to talk to him.

He's coming tomorrow.

So whatta you wanna do, Franny?

I wanna kill Chipper Dove.

The bastard, I wanna kill him.

What a girl, Franny!

- The super sh*t of a human being.

- Give me a day.

What for?

The script.

I've got a great idea.

Miss Berry is all ready for you.

Right this way.

We are all so grateful

that you could come.

Hi, Franny.

You see, when you touched the her

in her, you broke her heart.

And that's why it was so important

that you came,

because if we could touch

the you in you,

then maybe the shock might bring
