The Whole Ten Yards Page #8

Synopsis: Thanks to falsified dental records supplied by his former neighbor Nicholas "Oz" Oseransky (Matthew Perry), retired hit man Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (Bruce Willis) now spends his days compulsively cleaning his house and perfecting his culinary skills with his wife, Jill, a purported assassin who has yet to pull off a clean hit. Suddenly, an uninvited and unwelcome connection to their past unexpectedly shows up on Jimmy and Jill's doorstep: it's Oz, and he's begging them to help him rescue his wife from the Hungarian mob. To complicate matters even further, the men, who are out to get Oz, are led by Lazlo Gogolak (Kevin Pollak), a childhood rival of Jimmy's and another notorious hit man. Oz, Jimmy and Jill will have to go the whole nine yards--and then some--to manage the mounting Mafioso mayhem.

- Or else.

- Or else what?

Or else I'm afraid I'm gonna

have to blow Strabo's head off.

Oh, no, no, no.

Strabo, you all right?

He's fine.

He can't talk, he's duct- taped.

I got this car wired with explosives.

- You let me in, he'll be fine.

- Fine.

Come in, do whatever you want, apparently.

Get the broad! Get the car! Get the Strabo!

Wait a minute.

What is in the big purse?

- Nothing, it's-- I'm good.

- It's what?

- Take a right.

- This way.

What the fook are you

a**holes up to now?

Look who's here.

Can I ask you a questionnaire

how you found this place?

Nice Porsche you got.

You still have the Porsche?

Let me explain when we all get

a moment together...

...the concept of the secret hideout.

- All right!

Drop your weapons now

and slide them to me...

...or I press the button and Strabo gets

blown to little Hungarian meatballs.

- Don't push nothing.

- I'm gonna push it. Drop them! Now!

- Drop them!

- Drop it.

- Go ahead. Come on.

- On the floor.

Kick them over. Step away.

- Untie Oz and Cynthia.

- No untying--

- Do it! Untie them.

- Let's see where it's going.

All right. Come on, come on.

Aren't you forgetting something?

Am I forgetting something?

I don't think so.

- They had a terrible fight.

- Did they?

- What if I had something you want?

- I would be baffled, to begin with.

Or, more precisely...

...half of something you want.

Don't.

You have Jimmy's half.

- Would you cut me in for a slice?

- You want a slice of the pee?

Maybe...

- Keep talking.

- I wanna work for you.

- Of course you do.

- I don't have any allegiances.

I'm all yours. And I could be your

most valuable hitter.

You shut up or I'll

blow your brains out!

First thing I'm going to need

is my son Strabo in my company.

Secondly, maybe a little test.

I'm thinking, kill Jimmy.

In the melon. One shot.

- What do you say?

- Name the time and place.

Is now good for you?

- Right here, right now?

- Right now.

- You gotta be kidding me, right?

- What the hell are you doing?

Take your little cross back.

What'll you do without

your good luck charm?

- Stop screwing around.

- Shut up, Oz!

That's right, Jill, stop screwing around.

You're not gonna shoot anybody.

Just tell me you're not

still in love with Cynthia.

- I'm not gonna do that.

- Why?

She's my ex- wife. I still have feelings

for her and I always will.

- That's a really bad answer.

- Shut up, Oz.

You can't even just say it, can you?

Just say it.

This is reminding me now

of my favorite soup opera:

The Hourglass of My Sand Children.

Listen, you're either a shooter

or you're not.

I am. I am.

I am.

Here's an idea for you:

- Got an elevator shaft around here, Lazlo?

- I'm sorry?

Because I could fall down that,

you know. Die that way.

- Stop.

- That would be the only way to get killed.

- Shut up!

- You couldn't even hit that lamp over there.

I'll give you a tip. You wanna hit that

lamp, you should aim at me.

She aimed and hit the lamp.

She aimed and hit the lamp.

- Lucky shot.

- I'm gonna give you one last chance, baby.

You don't have the balls.

- This from a guy who rarely gets it up.

- We never had that problem.

Not helping.

Why isn't anybody helping?

I think you have to be in love

with someone to get it up, Jill.

Shoot him.

You're never gonna be a hit girl...

...just a stupid, stumbling, bumbling,

can't- kill- anything ex- dental assistant.

- Jimmy, Jimmy.

- He's dead?

- Yes?

- He's dead. He's dead!

He's dead! I didn't think you

had it in you, quite frankly.

Don't cry. Everything's going

to be fine. Go get Strabo, now.

Give me this. For the record,

this is, what, a garage door opener?

Very clever.

So clever, I want you to keep

that aimed at her, please.

- Wait. I thought we had a deal.

- ''I thought we had a deal.'' No.

Locked.

Lazlo, the car is loaded with Primacord.

I'm sure it is.

The first dollar

I ever stole is back together.

- You okay? You okay?

- Yeah.

You killed Strabonitz.

Oh, look what I did.

Good work, Jimmy.

''Jammy, Jammy.''

Nice work with that chair, Oz.

Way to go, Cyn.

- Come here, baby.

- You're alive?

I mean, good, but you...

Don't even think about it. You were

in on this whole thing from the beginning!

Of course. It's an old routine.

It's the Skokie Switcheroo.

''The Skokie Switch--''? Where do

you guys come up with these names?

I just watched my friend

get shot through the heart.

- Larry's House of Halloween.

- And what is the deal with that lamp?

I saw her shoot the lamp.

The first round was live, the rest

were blanks. Try and keep up.

- We are gonna have such a talk later.

- Sons of batches!

So how far back does this go?

Hell, you were shooting at me in Mexico.

Was that all part of the plan?

As a matter of fact, it was, yeah.

- You killed my Strabo!

- Actually, Strabonitz was already dead.

Your hitter got him

when she was shooting at us.

- This true?

- Lazlo, sh*t happens.

Sh*t...

Yeah, watch this sh*t happen.

- All right. Take it easy.

- Was that real? Is she really dead?

I mean, was that a fake bullet?

Jimmy, let me propose something

before you start the killing.

Regroup the Gogolak gang.

Fifty- fifty, you and me.

Like the old days.

Murder, mayhem, a couple of laughs.

I don't think so, Lazlo.

Jill, tie him up.

- Wait.

- What am I gonna tie him up for?

- I'm gonna kill him.

- No, he said--

I said that, but we can't.

Of course you can't.

You can't kill anybody for real.

I can. It's point- blank range.

I didn't mean you can't shoot him...

...I mean you just can't shoot him.

- Come on.

- You said I'll make my bones.

- On somebody else.

- You can't kill him.

- How do you ''make bones''?

She wants to make a name for herself.

You said I could!

- Will you just listen?

- Tell me why.

- You heard what he said!

- Tell me why not!

Because he's my father!

- Even I didn't know about this.

- See? See?

It doesn't feel good to not be involved

in the plan, to not know what--

- He's your father?

- I raised you as one of my own.

- That's far enough.

- I made him a man!

A man who can't kill his papa.

Step aside, Jill. It could go right through.

Jimmy.

- Jill, shoot Papa in the foot.

- Straight through or leave a souvenir?

- Souvenir.

- Wait.

That's gotta hurt.

- Who is that? The fake police?

- Okay, we gotta go.

I'm not going anywhere until somebody

tells me what this is all about.

Cynthia, help me get Oz out of here.

Thanks for the inheritance, Pops.

- Way to go, Cyn.

- You'll never live to spend a dime, Jimmy!

We're rich! We're rich!

- Baby, you were so good.

- I had a good teacher.

I'm so glad we're so overjoyed.

I've never been this confused in my life.

I think you dropped this a while back.

No, just borrowing it

from an old friend, that's all.

- Don't need it anymore, Cyn.

- Okay.

Would somebody tell me

what's going on?

This is what's going on.

See that number right there?

That is Lazlo Gogolak's main account
