Perfect.

Okay, okay... freddie?

We got to go, jim's ready.

The president isn't ready

and he's a bit more important.

- We got to go!

- Why are you so nervous?

I'm not nervous! I'm so full of valium,

i rattle when i walk!

All right, fine...

could i offer you a sleeping pill?

- Listen, if i take any more sh*t...

- aha! There we are.

- What the hell is this?

- This is a test pattern.

Okay, i'm receiving your test pattern,

you're looking real good.

Carter goes on in 28 seconds.

The programme originally scheduled

will not be seen in order that...

i didn't know president carter

was going to be on tv.

Do you mind turning that thing off?

I'm trying to eat.

Have a little respect.

This happens to be the president.

Respect, my ass, food giant!

I'm paying 20 bucks for this meal.

Well, how would you like

that tv stuck up your ass?

Fellas, it's not worth all this trouble.

- I gotta get some air.

- Are you all right?

- I gotta get some fresh air.

- Are you going to be okay?

Are you all right?

Good, just come over here

and sit down for a second.

Inflation is obviously

a serious problem.

What is the solution?

You want the solution to inflation?

Marshall lucky here, where we're

battling inflation not only-

- by fighting high prices, -

- but by blowing the living sh*t

out of high prices!

You heard me right! Here's an example:

That price is too high.

Yessir! Here's another one:

A lincoln continental mark 4, 1973, -

- it's loaded, it's got

airconditioning, it's got a stereo, -

- it's got power steering, power breaks,

power seats, power windows -

- and a price that isjust too high!

Now, remember, friends...

look out, marshall lucky,

it's high prices!

Take this, you dirty, old high prices!

You got me, marshall!

Jesus christ...

yessir, so remember, friends,

that's new deal used cars.

Now wait just a goddam minute!

What the hell is this?

Is this a 1977 mercedes 450 sl

for 24000 dollars?

That's too f***in' high!

You son of a b*tch!

We blew the sh*t out of

that overpriced motherf***er-

- just the way we blow the sh*t out of

all high prices at new deal used cars.

So you all come on down!

New deal used cars.

So you all come on down!

Did you hear what i said?

I have heard you

with unmistakable clarity.

You son of a b*tch!

- Let's go!

- Move this motherf***er!

...a free economy

cannot cope with inflation.

If we've lost our ability

to act as a nation, rather than -

- as a collection

of special interests...

and i reply, "what kind

of people do they think we are?"

You want to give me that again?

As i say, i heard this large explosion,

i couldn't tell what was going on.

I saw the car over there in flames

and all these strange little characters -

- with towels on their heads,

yelling, "ayatollah, ayatollah!"

Then they all got in a car and drove

away. I guess it was iranian students, -

- out to discredit

the american way of life.

I can't imagine who else

would do such a thing.

Let's go.

Sure hope you nail 'em.

Happy motoring.

Hey, jim, did those fbi guys...

were they... jim?

Combat fatigue... sh*t.

I'll teach you to wreck my cars,

you son of a b*tch!

Okay, now, you asked for it now.

Get off my back, you lunatic!

All right,

now i'm gonna have to hurt you.

Where's my brother?

Where are you hiding my brother, you...

the pit...

they filled in the pit!

I knew it!

Get off!

Dumb dog!

Get away!

Get off!

Get away, you dumb dog!

Toby! You pissed on my... goddammit!

Now aren't you glad

i didn't go to florida?

Since you brought that up...

there's something

i gotta get off my chest...

this is rudy. If you leave your name

and your number, i'll get back to you.

Rudy, it's jim!

If you're there, pick up! Emergency!

What is it?

Jesus!

Where are you now?

Don't worry, i'll be right there.

What is it?

Is it about luke?

- No, no.

- Well, what then?

What is it about? What's going on?

Jeff, he got in a fight, i gotta go down

to the station house and bail him out.

I'll be right back. See you later.

Rudy, it's jim. If you're there,

pick up! Emergency!

What is it?

Fuchs knows luke's dead.

He found out where we buried him.

- Jesus!

- He beat up jeff!

The cops are gonna think

we killed him!

- Where are you now?

- At the lot!

I'll be right there.

The white house reaction

has been negative.

Do you think we like being associated

with the president of the united states?

We run an honest lot here!

Come on, guys! We're not even open yet!

I told you to keep your ass off this lot.

Yeah, show him the warrant, sam.

- Bring those picks over here!

- A search warrant?

What the hell are you guys looking for?

Start digging over here.

Hold on! You bust in here, disrupt our

business, start digging up our lawn, -

- at least tell us

what the hell you're looking for.

You buried my brother here

and you know it.

What? Roy, are you looking for luke?

He was here 30 minutes ago.

He'll be right back.

You spoke to lucas fuchs 30 minutes ago?

He got back

from Miami beach last night.

Oh sh*t, he smells!

Come on, luke... i'm sorry, luke.

Shut up, toby! I hear you!

Adios, luke!

I'm telling you guys, you're wasting

your time. Here he comes now!

Jesus, he is still alive.

Where the hell is he going?

- He's exceeding the speed limit.

- He's got to be drunk.

He's heading right for the transformer!

All right, grab that pump!

Very neat, russo, very clean...

plenty of witnesses, everything

up in flames, not a trace of evidence.

Shrewd... kept yourself out of jail.

- Now get the f*** off my lot.

- Your lot?

You just handed it to me

on a silver platter.

Afraid not, roy. Luke's got a daughter.

You remember barbara? She's back in town.

I bet you haven't seen her in ten years.

You wanna talk to her?

She's staying over at my place.

You son of a b*tch.

Get off me!

Get this maniac off me!

- Get him off!

- Okay, mac, come on, here you go.

Oh my god...

get your hands off me!

I'm roy I. Fuchs, you son of a b*tch!

Barbara! There's been a terrible accident,

your father's dead.

Why don't you tell her the truth, russo?

He buried him back there in the edsel!

- Will you please tell me the truth?

- All right...

your father wasn't in Miami,

never was...

he was in aspen. He didn't want you

to be here when he got back...

rudy, you're fired

and you can take your friends with you.

Get off my lot!

Sh*t!

So? What do you say?

I'll have to think about it.

He's an a**hole.

Don't think too long. A ninth-grader

was looking at it yesterday.

Real grinders.

Tougher to close than their parents.

Aw christ...

how am i gonna come up with five grand?

Why don't you call my bookie,

put some money on the game tonight, huh?

I got a good feeling about denver.

Here's his number.

Denver's ranked tenth.

That's right, but i found a dime in a

payphone booth this morning. Ten cents, -

- minted in denver. The numbers that i

dialled on the phone added up to ten.
