I know about electronics.

Anyway, from now on, just stay close.

Yeah, just don't get too close.

You took the words

Why do I get the feeling

- Instinct.

- Easy. Whoa!

Look out!

- So... where are we gonna go now?

- Come on!

Let's go.

There's the ambulance.

There they are.

Get off me.

Well, so far so good.

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.

- What?

- Uh-uh.

My men have reported

that they crossed the river but...

is he going to lead us to the diamonds?

I know the guy. He was my best friend.

Back in the Columbian wars,

we were the boomer kings.

I covered his ass

while he defused the mines.

Kind of relationship that

builds life-long friendships.

Right. Unless you're

talking about 25 million dollars.

And we are.

Which reminds me, partners,

er, I've had to renegotiate my deal.

I'm going to need more than a third.

I need half.

Is that so?

Is that supposed to be

some kind of deal-breaker?

- Well, you could put it that way.

- Yeah?

I'd rather put it this way.

- Sam.

- What?

You're entirely too excitable.

Now, listen carefully, I get one half

or I detonate Ken and Barbie's collars,

then nobody gets their money.

- So you can do it from here?

- Like a thunderbolt from God.

- You're with me?

- You're willing to risk $25 million?

No. Are you willing to risk

Hey, you guys,

men and your toys! Stop it.

- Half is good.

- Nah.

Look at me!

Half is good.

- I was just kidding.

- Me, too.

Quick.

you steal the one going to Bangladesh.

- It's a joke. You've heard of them?

- If I hear one, I'll let you know.

When we hit the coast,

we'll head north.

- What if I want to go south?

- We still go north.

I'm cold, I'm hungry,

and I feel really stupid in this.

Yeah, right.

I'm not going any further

till we get some real clothes.

- We need some money.

- Yeah.

- Let's try it out.

- OK.

She's free. See if you can keep her busy.

Hi, can I see some of your crystals?

There's three over here

that I think you'll like.

I'd like to show you these.

They're very special to me.

They buzz me every time I walk by

and I'd like you to see if this might be

something that is for you.

Er, so, please choose.

As you know, each crystal is a mass of

energy caught in a solid formation.

- Oooh.

- Are you feeling something from this?

Ooh! OK.

Er, I think that might be

a very good one for you

because I sense that you're strong.

- Yes.

- That's a terrific necklace.

- OK, OK.

- I'm getting a lot of energy from that.

- It's a wedding present.

- Oh.

- How much is this one?

- That is $1300.

$1300?

It's a life-flow experience

waiting for you to happen.

Honey, it's a rock.

'... the gold standard, a desperate measure

not used since the Great Depression.'

'It's time to put the dollar

on the endangered species list.

'Not only has it dropped to record lows

against all foreign currency,

'if we don't bedrock our dollar

on a solid reserve... '

Frank, what are you doing in there?

I'm, er, brushing my teeth, OK?

You sure do take your time about it.

'In sports, the New York Mets

have sweeped the Series in four games

'against the failing

Los Angeles Dodgers.'

We are adults here.

We could share the bed.

No, we can't. It doesn't work that way.

All women are monsters, huh?

Just the ones I pick.

What's the matter?

Did you get dumped or something?

Mm-hm.

So how did you end up in there, Frank?

- Purse snatching?

- One of life's little mysteries.

Fine. You don't wanna talk,

you don't wanna talk.

Listen, since we're heading north

I was wondering...

if we'd stop at Sterling City on the way.

- No.

- Wait a minute.

- Who died and made you boss?

- I did.

Go to sleep.

You go to sleep.

Son of a b*tch.

Could you yell a little louder?

They can't hear you in Cairo.

Frank Warren and Tracy Riggs!

This is the police. We know you're inside.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Come out with your arms raised.

Sh*t, what are we gonna do?

- Make a run for it?

- That'll work(!)

- You have a better idea?

- Yes.

Give up. Come on!

Don't shoot, we're coming out!

Nice and easy. Keep those hands up.

Keep 'em up high so I can see 'em.
