The Taking of Pelham 123 Page #6

Walter, now remember what I said

about talking through deadlines, right?

We gotta have a plan B in case

the money isn't here on the dot.

Put him back on he's heels. He knows

things, we know things too, right?

- Right.

- Ask him about, Phil Ramos.

Just get him talking.

You can do it.

Hey, Ryder?

- The money here yet?

- On the way.

So what the f***, you calling me for?

Actually, I just called to talk.

Oh yeah? What do

you want to talk about?

You said that a...

being in the motormans cab that

was like being in a confessional, right?

Yeah.

I was thinking, maybe it's a little

like being in a prison cell too.

What you trying to say? That If I

get caught, I better get used to it?

No, I'm just wondering...

maybe your already used to it...

I'm wondering maybe...

That's how you meet a

guy like, Phil Ramos.

How the f*** does he know that!

Why don't you tell me, Garber? Then,

we'll both know. After today's confession,

your going to find

your ass in prison too.!

Which is my point.

I want you to hook

me up on the inside,

I know you know everybody, this way

when I come up with my own heist plan,

you know I'll cut you in.

I can see I've inspired you.

Okay I've got a story for you.

It might help you in prison. you

Wanna hear it? We got a minute?

Yeah, I'd like to hear a little story.

Alrighty so back in the day,

when I was a high roller.

When were you ever a high roller?

Well you know, I told you I fed the

city breakfast every morning.

- Bacon and eggs?

- Or something like that.

Well anyway back in the day,

I took this chick to, Iceland.

Iceland? Is that where

all the high rollers go?

Iceland is 6 hours from, Canada.

The night-club scene is intense, and

I thought I'd take this chick to iceland.

- What's her name?

- Lavicta, she was, Lithuanian.

She was an ass model.

She asked what?

You heard of hand models,

right, for advertisements.

She was an ass model.

She did jeans and magazines and sh*t.

Anyway, it was a fashion

week in new york and a...

I took her to, Iceland.

Lavicta, Lithuania, ass model,

Iceland. You took her to the ice.

For $500, they take you on a

dogs-sledge ride in the glaciers.

- Dogs sleigh?

- Yeah.

And you know the whole saying, if your

not the lead dog, the view never changes?

Right, otherwise your always looking

at the a**hole of the dog in front of you.

That would be funny

if I get to that part.

It's funny now.

And it's 8 in the morning and

we haven't been to bed yet.

And it was 2 when we crossed

this glacier and I got this hangover

that's creeping up the back of my neck...

and guess what I'm looking at?

Your obviously, you're staring at the ass

of the dog in front of you.

You got it!

so this dog, out of know where just lifts it's

hind legs up and puts them in the harness

and just takes a sh*t, whilst it's

running on it's front paw.

so he's dumping and running,

all at the same time

now that's multi f***ing

tasking if you ask me.

Get outta here. Did it hit you?

Sh*t always hit's you, man!

I didn't know at the time,

but it was profound!

- Profound?

- Yeah.

You lost me.

You know, when I went to

prison, later on, which you called.

I had trouble going to the

toilet, you know... privacy thing.

and I...

I couldn't take a sh*t,

I was scared shitless, literally.

- So, you know what I thought of?

- You thought of the dog!

That's right. I thought if that dog.

could do what it needed

to do, so could I.

Saved my f***ing life!

Wow, that is profound.

And you know it's... it's...

People adapt

It's like you and I,

like today, we didn't know

how today was going to start.

- Wrong!

- Wrong what?

I knew exactly how it was going to start.

Yeah but, do you know

how it's going to end?

I'm tired of talking you, Garber.

- No wait...

- Call me when the money comes in.

You got 4 minutes.

I don't know what he looks

like, but he sounds good.

F***ing talk's sh*t?

He's got a sexy voice, man

he can be my b*tch in prison.

- Where are we?

- Less than 10 blocks away.

Sh*t. Captain, the money

car crashed on first avenue.

Get a radio car, put in on a

motorcycle and get it there.

You got 22 seconds, Garber.

- Alright, we just had a little problem over here, that's all...

- I don't care!

Two minutes.

- Tell him it's here, how the hell's he gonna know?

- I don't think I should lie.

Tell him the truth

Tell him the truth?

He's going to make me do it.

- 8...

- Tell him the truth, or lie!

- Tell him the truth!

- No! tell him it's here.

- 4... 3...

- Tell him it's here!

- It's here!

- Two... One!

The money is there, it's

- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

- Get the lady up, come on up, up!

- I think that's him.

Ryder, listen to me! We

made a mistake, it's my fault!

- The cars hit, that's why the...

- Tell him something.

- Up, up!

- Get up!

Get back in line!

Ryder, one minute it's going to take.

Don't do this, for God's sake!

It was an accident!

- Wait!

- It's the only plan I've got!

Ryder, listen!

It was an accident!

We made a mistake.

That's your fault!

Got an easy shot, please advise.

No, it was, Ramos.

- Sergeant, the money there yet?

- Yes, yes.

Ryder, are you there?

Shoot any mother f***er that moves!

- It's an order!

- Shove your orders!

Can you hear me, Ryder?

Okay, now somebody else has to die!

Two people, maybe all of us!

Did you hear me?

I heard you, but you got to understand.

The circumstances, they're

different now for you.

You gotta re-think this, you gotta adapt.

No, I gave instructions and

you know the consequences!

Don't you have a plan, B?

No! The plan "B" was

enforcing plan "A"!

The minute you stop believing

me, mother f***er!

- That's it!

- I believe you, but...

you gotta believe, and understand that those cops are

gonna be down that tunnel and next to you any second...

Bring it, man! Let them

come, I don't care!

What's the point of that,

huh? What's the point of that.

I told you, we all owe god a death.

and now it's 2 minutes past the deadline.

have to go. They have to die.

The money's there, Ryder.

Nobody else has to die.

I don't know what you owe god, but

I can tell you, you can't pay him in cash.

You never see a U horn behind a

hearse, Ryder the, Egyptians tried it,

it doesn't work, you can't

take the money with you.

Ryder?

You can't take the money with you!

All this talk of, god...

I think I need to pray.

Give me a minute.

I can do that.

You did good, Walter.

What's the reality of getting

in there and ending this?

We have to except heavy casualties

on all sides, it's a hard choice.

- but I say make it!
