The Place Beyond the Pines Page #2

Well, that's good.

You can go ahead and fix it up,

but I don't have

the money to pay you.

You know, there are other things

that could be done, you know.

Like what?

Well, you could

rob a bank. (CHUCKLES)

You're full of sh*t.

I'm not full of sh*t.

I've done it four times myself.

I stopped 12 years ago because

it was getting too hot.

As long as you don't do it

too many times, you're fine.

You got a kid, you wanna

provide for that kid?

You wanna maybe edge out

your competition?

You gotta do that

using your skill set,

and your skill set...

(CLICKS TONGUE)

Very unique.

What do you say?

Go f*** yourself.

Okay.

Well, good luck supporting

your family on minimum wage.

(MOTORCYCLE ENGINE ROARING)

LUKE:
He's my son

and I should be around him.

I wasn't around my dad, look at

the f***ing way I turned out.

Look, I wanna take care of you.

I wanna take care of my son.

That's my job.

Let me do my job. How are

you gonna take care of us?

Don't say it like that.

But how are you gonna take care of me?

Don't...

(SIGHS)

Don't talk down to me.

It's a question. I'm not

talking down to you.

It's just a question.

I will find a way to do it.

You want a house,

I'll get you a house.

You wanna get the f*** out of

here, we'll get out of here.

I got that trailer. I'll get

a truck, we'll hit the road.

You pick a place

you like, we'll stop.

You don't wanna be there?

"F*** you," we're outta there.

What about my mom?

She can come.

And what about Kofi?

He can stay.

He can get his own girl and his own kid.

That's every man's right.

That sounds like a nice dream.

Ro...

(CAR HORN HONKS)

ROBIN:
You can, uh, use this.

If you wanna.

But keep in mind, man,

I did four banks with a note.

In other words,

you don't need the gun.

I never liked guns, man.

They're vulgar, you know.

But you may wanna take it. I don't know.

Whatever you wanna do.

How do we do it?

Okay. First thing is, we're gonna

go in there nice and early.

Just when the doors open, okay?

You're gonna take

a look at all the tellers.

(CHUCKLES) Go for the oldest

woman you can, right?

Failing that,

go to the most meek.

You get her to put the money

out on the table. Why?

So, that way, you can see

if there's a dye pack.

You put it in your pocket. You

don't hand anything over to them.

You don't show them the gun.

And you go.

Get on your bike. I'll be

about four blocks away.

Ride it into the truck. Bam, we're

home, we're done, we're rich.

(TAPS ON BONNET)

LUKE:
What happens

if you get stopped

sitting by the side of the

road with an open cube truck?

What are you gonna say?

What do you mean, what am I gonna do?

I'm an officer.

"Excuse me, sir, what are you

doing with an open cube truck?"

"What are you doing? Why are

you sitting here like this?"

Oh, I'm broken down. I'm waiting

for the, you know, repairs.

Thank you for asking, Officer.

That's a nice touch.

Right?

What are you gonna do

if you get jock itch

and, you know, you're riding 90

miles an hour down the street?

You're gonna

keep riding, right?

Yeah? I mean,

we do what we do.

But when we do it together...

Shazam.

I'm just sayin'.

Not since Hall and Oates

has there been such a team.

(ROBIN CHUCKLES)

Which one are you?

Oh, I know.

So I gotta be the dark,

curly-haired guy?

You gotta be the good-looking one?

I guess that's about right.

ROBIN:
This is gonna be good, man.

You're gonna like doing this.

It's the biggest

rush of your life.

(C*CKS GUN)

(ROCK SONG PLAYING)

(ENGINE REVS)

WOMAN:
Oh!

All right!

Everybody who wants to live,

put your hands

in the f***ing air!

Get over here!

Get over here now!

Get the f*** over here!

Get on your knees!

All right.

What's your name?

Max.

Max is my little f***ing dog.

Everybody get your f***ing

money and he's gonna go fetch.

Get it out and put it

on the table right now!

Get it out! Pray!

Pray! Let me hear

you f***ing pray!

Got that money out, boy?

Go f***ing fetch. Fast!

(PEOPLE MURMURING)

Get it out.

Put it in that bag.

(ENGINE REVVING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(POLICE SIREN WAILING)

(SIRENS APPROACH)

They're not turning!

How much d'you get?

On, baby.

Oh! Beautiful

f***ing baby boy!

Are you okay, man?

You good?

(GROANS)

You did it, man!

You did it!

(RETCHES)

Yes! (CHUCKLES)

God damn it, we f***ing did it!

We f***ing did it!

(ROCK SONG PLAYING)

(LAUGHING)

Yeah!

Yeah!

LUKE:
Tell me about him.

What's he like to eat?

He, like, really likes apples.

(CHUCKLES)

But I have to kind of

chew it up for him.

You chew up his apples?

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

It sounds gross, but it's

not when I'm doing it.

(CHUCKLES)

Has he ever had ice cream?

Not yet.

You're f***ing kidding me.

He's still a baby.

Bullshit.

What kind of house

are you running?

No ice cream?

(LAUGHING)

Why can't he have that?

It's not like he can't have

it, he just hasn't had it.

Can I give it to him?

You wanna give him ice cream?

Yeah.

I wanna do something with him

that's his first time.

I wanna look in his face

when he tries ice cream.

Every time he has ice cream

for the rest of his life,

he's gonna see my f***ing face.

(ROMINA LAUGHING)

Yeah.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Okay, come on. Come on.

No, he's funny.

Come on.

Wanna hear it on?

(ENGINE STARTS)

(REVVING)

(CRYING) Oh!

I'm sorry.

(CHUCKLES)

Here. It's okay.

He cries a lot.

I'm sorry.

Oh, so you want

the bike in it, too?

Yeah, just all... You know, so that...

Just capture the mood.

It's a nice bike.

The bike's part of the family.

(CAMERA CLICKS)

GIRL:
You want another one?

You sure I should take

it when she's crying?

Okay.

(ROMINA CHUCKLES TEARFULLY)

That's a good trick.

(SNIFFLES)

Shh!

MAN:
Five, six, seven... Put that

f***ing money on the counter.

Give me the real stuff. Don't

give me the f***ing fake stuff.

I know what it is.

MAN:
Ten, 11, 12.

Let me see you...

Come here. Come here.

(TIRES SCREECH)

(ENGINE ROARS)

Hola, Mami.

ROMINA'S MOTHER:
Hola.

(LUKE SINGING IN SPANISH)

What is this?

(CONTINUES SINGING)

What is...

(CONTINUES SINGING)

What is this?

It's presents.

Oh, my God. What is that?

It's a crib.

(JASON GURGLING)

Easy, easy, easy.

Hey, boss, you gotta stay...

You're gonna fall off this bed.

(BLOWING RASPBERRIES)

There you go.

(CAR DOORS OPENING)

Your mom's home.

(CAR DOORS CLOSING)

ROMINA:
Hi, Mami.

Think she's gonna be mad?

(WOMEN SPEAKING SPANISH)

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I got him a crib and some toys.

(JASON CRYING)

You know,

this is really nice and all,

but you gotta

get this outta here.

You can't just show up like this.

LUKE:
Why?

ROMINA:
'Cause this is

Kofi's f***ing house.

What?

Just get it out, please.

He can't be sleeping in a bed.

He's gonna roll out and bust his head open.

He needs a crib.

What's going on?

(JASON CRYING LOUDLY)

You okay with this?

(SHUSHING)

I'm talking to you. You okay with this?

Kofi, it's his father.
