- We ain't got time for this right now.

- We've got to get to Union Square.

You go ahead if you want.

I'm gonna get a little exercise.

You never were very smart.

I'll tell you something, warlord.

I'm smart enough.

And it's there for free.

You two coming?

- Come on, man.

- There's plenty of women back home.

Maybe all of you just going f*ggot.

You feeling all right, lady?

You need a little help or something?

Why don't you sit down.

Keep me company.

Whatever you say, lady.

Look at those muscles.

I bet the chicks like

all those muscles.

Hey.

We better go back

and look out for him.

He saved my ass back there.

I owe him.

Okay, I'll go look for the others.

You wanna show me how you play

with the chicks?

Yeah.

- I'll show you how I play.

- Hey!

Not so rough. Come on.

- We'll get it on.

- You don't get it. I like it rough.

Your nights in the park

are over for a while, honey.

- You're under arrest.

- Hey, lady...

Come on, lady.

Kiss my ass.

Come on, lady.

Come on. Quit playing around.

You don't wanna play around with me!

Let me out of this thing!

You hear me?!

Goddamn it! Let me go!

Let me go!

You can't do this to me!

Come on, you lousy b*tch!

F***ing wimp.

Hey, wait!

Still cops all over the place.

Where's the Fox?

A cop grabbed him.

So how come you hung around?

I don't know.

- Where did you get the coat?

- You ask a lot of questions.

Don't give me that.

I stole it.

Cops are looking for somebody

in a pink top.

Real tough chick.

Right. You said that before.

If you still wanna get to Union Square,

I can show you where to grab the train.

Okay.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey!

- What is that?

- Hold it!

- Freeze!

- Go on.

Move it!

- Jesus!

- Come on!

Run!

Is this the place?

Hey, I hate asking the questions,

but where's the dudes?

Chicks like you always got

dudes around.

They took the night off.

Went up to the Bronx.

Don't worry about them.

They're lame, real cripples.

Come on.

When I got off that subway

and I saw you, I thought:

"Oh, baby, throw it my way. "

I mean, it's really great

of you chicks taking us in.

We know about the Warriors.

They're a heavy outfit. We know you.

- How'd you hear about us?

- You know how. Word gets around.

- I guess we are pretty well-known.

- Come on.

You're the first friendly faces

we've seen all night.

That's the way we are.

Let's party a little.

Get something going.

- Yeah, sure. Hey, I can dig that.

- Hey, you came to the right guys.

Oh, hurt me, hurt me.

Don't thank us, man. Just relax.

Fall out.

Take your pick.

Thanks. This is a great outfit.

- What clique is this?

- We're the Lizzies.

Lizzies. Hey, great.

Just great. I like that. I like it.

Glad to hear it.

Man, we got to come

to this part of town more often.

Yeah, right.

That's right. Got to.

Thanks a lot.

- Looks like you're the winner.

- Yeah, right.

How much longer are we

gonna hang around here?

- What's your hurry? We just got here.

- We ought to get to Union Square.

- They're gonna be worried about us.

- Yeah, sure. In a minute.

Quit breaking the action.

Can we stop for a minute? I'm sick

of this crap. My legs are getting tired.

- Come on. Just keep walking.

- Well, what's your hurry?

Trying to set some kind of

a world record or something?

Hey.

- Just walk.

- I'm walking.

Jesus, why don't you give me

a break.

Be a little friendly.

I don't even know your name.

My name's Swan.

What do you care about

names so much for?

I like telling my friends

I been with somebody particular.

You know what I mean?

Why don't you just

tie a mattress to your back.

You don't care where it is, do you?

Look, what do you got against me?

You been picking on me all night.

You want me to tell you the truth?

Yeah, sure. Go ahead.

I don't like the way you live.

- The way I live?

- Yeah.

I keep hoping I'm gonna run into

something a little better.

What kind of crap is this?

Who are you?

You ain't any better than me.

I guess you like the way

everything's going for you.

Well, maybe I do.

Friday nights are pretty good.

Saturday nights are better.

I don't think you can remember

who you get on Friday and Saturday.

I don't think you can remember

what they look like.

Sometimes I can, and sometimes

I can't. Who gives a damn?

I see what's happening next door

and down the block,

belly hanging down, five kids,

cockroaches in the cupboard.

I'll tell you what I want.

I want something now.

This is the life I got left.

You know what I mean?

You get it, Warrior?

Get it?

How do you like it?

Come on. What's wrong?

Let's just get

to the next station, okay?

No.

Please?

Come on.

Come on.

You're just part of everything that's

happening tonight, and it's all bad.

Just go back to wherever it was

you came from.

Hey, little man, you wanna dance?

I'll be right with you, babe.

So you're the famous Warriors,

the guys that shot Cyrus.

Sh*t! The chicks are packed.

The chicks are packed!

Sh*t!

Sh*t.

She cut me. She cut me.

Look. Look, man.

Now we gotta hold ourselves together.

We got to.

See, man, now if we go to pieces,

somebody out there's gonna get us.

They think we shot Cyrus.

- What are you talking about?

- They think we shot Cyrus.

Every gang in this city

must be looking for us.

Holy sh*t!

We're not gonna be able

to make it back.

We're gonna make it back.

We came this far.

We'll go the rest of the way.

Let's go to Union Square, okay?

We gotta tell the rest of the guys.

Hey.

Where's the rest of them?

Yeah, right.

Where's everybody else?

Cops got Ajax.

We don't know about Swan.

- Oh, Jesus!

- Are you sure about Ajax?

Real sure.

I bet he went out swinging.

We better go look for Swan.

God, I can't believe it.

Yeah. What is this sh*t?

I need to talk to you.

See that dude over there

with the skates?

Over there.

He's after you.

And he's got some guys with him.

I know they're on my ass.

But now they know I know it.

Well, what are you gonna do?

Come on.

You sure change your mind fast.

- I was kind of rough on you there.

- Listen, I can take care of myself.

Sure. Come on.

Wait a minute. I can't go in there.

It's a men's room.

Are you kidding?

Get him!

What about our patrols?

So far, nothing.

But we've got somebody here

you ought to talk to.

He says he saw who shot Cyrus.

Big Cyrus,

he was gonna run the whole city.

What crap that was.

Cyrus was right about one thing.

It's all out there.

All we gotta do is just figure out

a way to go steal it.

Sounds great.

All you gotta do is figure out

what's worth stealing.

Okay, come on. Let's go.

Come on, let me get some breakfast

or something.

- Let's get off here.

- Yeah.

What's this for?

I just hate seeing anything

go to waste.

This is what we fought all night

to get back to?

Maybe I'll just take off.

Well, you know I like traveling too.

Where have you ever been?

I never been anywhere.

I just know I'd like it.

Come on. Let's go.
