be leaving in approximately five minutes.

- 'Purchase your tickets... '

- Here.

- Put it on.

- OK.

You get in line, I'll get the tickets.

'Attention, please.

'This is the last call for the 9am bus

to John Lennon Park.

'The next bus will leave

in approximately 30 minutes.'

'The bus to John Lennon Park

'will leave from the curb

outside the ticket office every half hour.

'Please purchase your tickets

before you board.'

- Hey!

- Follow that bus! Now! Come on!

I've never used this before,

so don't be stupid.

There you go.

Stay within a hundred yards.

- Don't stop! Run it!

- I can't!

Come on!

Keep going!

Are you crazy?

Step on it! Come on!

Yeah, good, good.

OK, don't let anything get between

you and that bus, understand?

- Yeah.

- Where's it going anyway?

- John Lennon Park.

- Oh. Never been there.

What's your rush?

It ain't going anywhere.

- Where's the park?

- Up there, you have to take a van.

OK. Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.

Just kidding.

Yeah? Could've fooled me.

Hold it! Hey! Don't go!

Hey.

Frank!

Let me on!

Sorry.

'Good morning, and welcome

to John Lennon Memorial Park.'

- Excuse me.

- 'Before the park was dedicated,

'it contained a working zoo.

'You can see some abandoned cages

to the left.

'Due to the drought in the early '90s,

the lakes dried up.

'The depressed cavity to the left... '

Tracy. Tracy?

Oh, no.

Oh, God!

You look a little pale.

How are you feeling?

I swear to God...

if that collar doesn't kill you, I will.

- Can I ask you a personal question?

- What?

Why were you in Camp Holliday?

Oh, I didn't know you were interested.

Heroin.

You... You were a junkie?

No, I was not a junkie.

What happened? I'd like to know.

Just relax, will you?

Doesn't really matter.

Fine.

Good night.

I was engaged to this guy

Michael Travis.

It was great but his family

didn't approve of me.

I didn't have the right pedigree.

Who the hell were they?

His dad's some

big-deal Connecticut senator.

Didn't like the fact

that I was "only" a waitress.

We were gonna elope to Vegas

and then, the night before we left,

two narcs broke into my apartment

and found a pound of heroin.

That's a lot of heroin for one person.

Tell me about it.

Ah, whoever put it there

had enough power,

political clout or whatever,

to have me locked up

as far away from his son as possible.

Michael's getting married on Saturday

and I just wanted to see him,

just wanted to ask him how come he

never had anything to do with me again.

So why were you in there?

Man, they not hangin' around here!

They probably

halfway to Mexico by now.

Come on, Chesterton said

we have to sweep the grounds.

Man, let's get the hell out of here.

Let's go check out the alligator pit.

You'd better quit playing with me

like that, I told ya.

Enjoy the show?

I oughta rip your collar off

just to watch you blow.

- I'm sorry.

- Yeah.

- A hundred yards and no further.

- I know the rules.

'They'll be giving away

five gallons of water as the grand prize... '

Yeah?

Oh, hello! How are you?

I was worried about you.

So where is he now?

Hey, hey, you're getting

all hysterical over nothing.

'So it was a little gunfire,

that's nothing to get upset about.

'It'll all be over soon. So has he told you

where the diamonds are yet? '

No. He doesn't trust me.

He doesn't trust anybody.

Look, Holliday,

I'm getting tired of this sh*t.

You said all I had to do was get him out

of prison, not follow him everywhere.

'Hey, relax, you're my insurance policy.

'Listen, you're going to be contacted

by Sam and Noelle.'

Who the hell are they?

'They shot the police officer at the motel.

'Hand the diamonds to them,

they'll take your collars off, I promise.'

Yeah, right. Holliday, you are a lying,

cheating son of a b*tch

and if you think I'm...

I'm... I'm fine, Dad.

I'm fine. No, I can't tell you where I am

but I wanted you and Mom

to know I'm OK.

I'll call you back when I get a chance.

I gotta go. Bye.

Thanks.

Whoever made these

did a great job.

We're definitely still hot.

We can explode any time.

If I can get my hands on the right tools,

I can defuse them.

- You can do that?

- I used to be in the Navy.

Disarming mines was part of my job.

And here I thought you were

just a career criminal.

Well, that wasn't really part of the plan.

I wanted to set up a diving school.

Then my buddy Sam introduced me

to a woman who tells me how to do it.

A simple job, real neat, diamonds.

In and out, real easy.

I said no, she said yes.

She could be very persuasive.

Then what?

She shot me and ran off

with my best friend.

No way!

With the diamonds?

- No, the diamonds are somewhere.

- Where?

Safe.

- Looks all clear to me.

- We should check down here.

Maybe they're not looking for us.

And maybe Boston will win

the World Series.

Let's go back to the car.

- Where are we going?

- The roads are being watched.

We'll get a boat.

We'll go west,

sneak up the river to Bondale.

Good, we can stop

at Sterling City on the way.

Get the lines off.

Plenty of fuel, nice fresh air, should be

able to make it in under two hours.

Aren't you forgetting something?

What?

Michael's wedding, Sterling City.

- We don't have time.

- It's on the way!

All we wanna do is get these collars off,

then you can do what you want.

- We are going to stop there.

- No we're not.

OK.

- Frank!

- What?

Goddamn!

This is no time to be f***ing around.

Get in this boat!

I'm staying in here

till I drown or you promise

we're going to Sterling City.

What do you wanna see him for?

You like being humiliated?

Oh, that's good coming from a guy

shot by his own girlfriend.

Get in the boat! Please!

For God's sake!

OK, fine, we'll go to Sterling City.

- Promise?

- Promise.

OK.

- B*tch.

- Bastard.

- They're heading west.

- Let me see.

Hey, she's not bad-looking.

- Cuter than me?

- Oh, she's much cuter than you.

But your teeth are sharper.

Ah, yeah.

- Now, you're sure you wanna do this?

- Yeah.

- What do you expect to get out of it?

- The truth. Satisfaction.

- It's a woman thing.

- You'd still marry him?

Maybe. With the right guy,

marriage can be a great institution.

I just got out of an institution.

- That's his sister Melanie.

- It's all right, I'll sign us in.

Melanie!

- Do I know you?

- Yeah!

Michael and I used to

steal software together.

Excuse me.

Jesus! Tracy!

I know this seems like a bad time

but where the hell have you been?

- What is this about?

- Deborah, I have no idea...

Deborah? I didn't know frigid debutantes

were your type!

- You're going right back...

- Let go!

How come I never heard from you?

- Why didn't you call or write me?

- Let her go, Dad.

- You owe it to me! Tell me!

- I didn't know where you were.

- They had me sent to prison, you jerk.

- Prison?

- You didn't say anything about prison.

- She's hysterical.

Shut up, Dad! Tracy...

You knew about this?

- You gotta believe me...
