"So how'd it go last night?" "Belinda said you were amazing." "Sealing the deal with Julian." "Right." "Yeah, yeah." "Yeah, it went fine." "What are you doing?" "Blowing." "It's part of my job." "Wow, you do that very well." "Well, are you ready to go?" "Yeah." "This whole shopping idea... was Belinda's, by the way." "Why do you put up with her?" "Why do you?" "Money." "Fame." "Chicks." "Me too." ":" "I've never been to a museum before." ":" "Really?" "I think you'll really like it." " How old?" " When I stole my first car?" " 13." " 13?" "Wow." "Yeah, I..." "I brought it right back, though." " Why?" " Why did I bring it back?" "No, why did you steal it?" "Oh, I just wanted to go for a joy ride." "How old were you when you stopped bringing them back?" "15." "Then I'd bring them up to this huge field... and there were so many of them... it became like a parking lot." "Then this guy found out about it, wanted to buy them." "So I sold them all to him." "Took me under his wing, it became what I did." "I was really good at it." " You're good at other things, you know." " Hmm." "I want something large for right... right here." "¶ Sometimes when I see that face ¶" "¶ Takes me back to the place where I was ¶" "¶ When I saw you again ¶" "I'll show you, here."

"I want 60-40." "Well, that's the quickest I've ever been fucked." "I doubt it." "50-50." "I can live with it." "God, you scared the shit outta me." "Come on." "What are we doing?" "A little tour." "I wanna talk to you." "Hey!" "You just ran that light!" "Yeah, it's a game I play." "Red light, green light." "Every red light's green." "And the green lights?" "Uh, they're green too." "Keeps me sharp." "Hmm." "That's good." "You know the key to the game, the only thing you have to consider?" "Where the nearest hospital is." "Heh, funny." "No, the reaction time of the other drivers." "You just watch them." "Look!" ":" "Hey!" "Get a life!" "Come on, could we just... play old-fashioned red light, green light... till I get outta the car?" "Hey, did you ever look at this whole area?" "Take a look at it." "It's mine." "After this deal with Mezali, that's it, I'm out." "So who am I gonna get to administer things?" "I thought Larry was your man." "No, Larry?" "No, this needs somebody smart... to keep it profitable." "You." "You're my heir apparent." "Soon as you pay off your debt, the keys to this kingdom are yours." "I'm glad we had this little chat." "Where can I drop you?" "Hey, you know what?" "I'll tell you what," "I'll buy you a drink." ":" "No, that's okay, Mr. K." "It's a little early in the day for me." "No, I insist." "We'll celebrate." "Kiss my ass!" " How's it going, Pete?" " Hey." "Heya, buddy." "Some guy's in there, he brought his car in." "Yeah?" "So?" "What's the problem?" "He wants you to fix it." "Yeah, man, we ain't, like, sir-fix..." "fix-a-lots, yo." "Smells like a cop, Vince." "Why would a cop be here?" "Why would a cop be here, man?" "Mr. Pogue." "Hey, Vince!" "How you doing?" "Doing fine." "Hey, listen, I got this, uh... squealing in my engine... and I figured, what better place to take it to... than the shop you work at." "Yeah, uh, well, we just do body work, so better not." " Oh, that's cool." " Yeah, yeah." "Oh, hey, you think I can get some pee from you?" "Oh, yeah." "Listen, I'll take a look, see what I can do." "Nice touch." "Uh-huh." "So how's things going in here?" "Ah, well, you know, it's a little slow... with the recession and all, but, uh... :" "Hey, it's hitting everybody, you know." "You wanna..." "you wanna get in... and start it up there, sir?" "Oh yeah, sure." "No problem." "You got the magic touch." "Hey, hey." "Just, uh... just a fan belt, you know?" "No charge." " No charge?" " No charge, no..." "No pee, no charge." "Gotta pee." "No, please." "It's just, the guys are here, it's kinda embarrassing." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure." "No problem." " Thank you." " Hey, where's your boss?" " I need to talk to him for a minute." " He's at the lake." "He's a fisherman." "You know, just a... and actually, he doesn't come around here all that much." "He's..." "he's hard to catch." "Hey, hard to catch and he's a fisherman." " Yeah." "Go figure." " Funny." "I guess I'll give him a phone call or something?" "Yeah." "You do that." "Yeah." "Good idea, that'd..." "that'd be great." "All right, I'm gonna get outta your hair." "Hey, thanks for that." " You're welcome." " You're good." "Thanks a lot." "You keep your nose clean." "I'm watching you." "It's for your own good, Vince." "See you." "Yo!" "What the fuck was that?" "Uh, that was, uh..." "that was Joe, okay?" "He was my bitch in jail." "Joe the bitch in jail?" "Joe the bitch. does not take his car..." " to a fucking place..." " Shut the fuck up!" "We got work to do." "You're both a couple of bitches." "Go to work." "Look at that." "Those Mezalis motherfuckers, they love those cars." "Whatever." "Let me out." "Get that shit, son." "Come on, man, give me the phone." "All right, let's do this." "Wait a second." "Yo, where..." "where you going, man?" "Yo, what are you doing with that thing, man?" "I don't want that shit in my car, yo!" "Shut the fuck up, Dean." "What are we, garbage men?" "Come on, man!" "Fuck!" " Key." " Yeah, here you go, you garbage-picking motherfucker." " It doesn't work." " Well, try it again, the numbers match." "It doesn't work, Dean." "Here, the window's open." " Come on, Vince." " Cops, cops, cops!" ":" "Shut up." " Go!"

"You need a drink or something?" "Nah, I'm all right." "Great car." "Yeah, it's just my favourite yellow car." "Yeah." "Let me..." "Let me ask you something." "It's a..." "personal question, okay?" "Have you ever killed someone?" "No, no, no." "I see that in your work." "So you like it?" "So, how we feeling?" "I love this piece." "Well, I think it's disingenuous." "India." "India, this is Vince." "Vince, India Montkieff, my wife." " Vince." " India's a curator at the Tate, Vince." "Yeah, I asked her to fly in from London... to see your work." "How do you say "disingenuous"?" "This piece is fantastic." "No, no, his first piece I love, but this one is derivative." "Derivative?" "What do you mean "derivative"?" "This is beautiful." "I love this piece." "Well, if he doesn't hear it from me... he'll hear it from someone else." "I was just trying to give your husband here... what he asked for." "Pandering." "Yes, that's the word I was looking for." "Julian, this..." "this piece just marinates... in its eagerness to please you." " Are you done?" " Vince..." "'Cause I'm done." "Um, you don't want it, you don't keep it." "That's not what I'm saying, that's what she's saying." "This is my piece." "I love this piece." "Vince, she's only one voice." "Yeah, well, she's..." "maybe right." "I've been looking for you." "Why didn't you tell me?" "These wonderful people... celebrating you and your art." "I'm sorry, you are?" "John Kranski." "Who the hell is that guy?" "I'm his mentor." "I was the first to recognize his... extraordinary talent." ":" "So, you have some of his pieces, yeah?" "Oh, I do indeed, plenty of them." "His early work, no doubt." " Yeah." ":" "So you have... collected his pieces since before..." "He did his stretch inside?" "I've owned Vince... for a very long time." "Mr. K. I was on my way out." "You coming?" ":" "Yeah, if you ever need any body work done... on your Spider, give me a call." "Vince has my number." "Ms. Bloome." "Fucking hell, man!" ""Ex-con... muscles his way into the art world"." "Nice write-up." "I hate it when you hide shit from me." "It makes me very, very angry." "The two of you get outta here." "What the fuck was that back there?" "I'm selling my stuff." "Your stuff?" "What the fuck are you talking about?" "That's my stuff." "It's mine." "It's all mine." "Whatever comes out of here... in whatever shape it's in, is mine." "Listen, I'm just trying to pay you back." "All right?" "All the money I make, and however I make it, it's all yours." "You got money and you're keeping it secret from me?" "That's stealing it from me!" "All the money is yours." "I promise." "Yeah... you promise." "Of course, you promise." "Why wouldn't you promise?" "You're a crook." "I'm an artist." "What did you say?" "You heard me." "Yeah, I fucking heard you." "You're a thief." "Say it." "Say you're a thief!" "I'm an artist." "Thief!" " Artist." " Thief... you fuck." "Thief!" " Hey, artist," " Jesus Christ... which ear?" " Huh?" " What do you mean which ear?" "Van Gogh!" "Vincent Van-fucking-Gogh." "Left ear, right?" "Left ear?" "You're a thief." "You're never gonna steal from me again." "Say it." " Say it." " I'm an artist!" "You're a thief!" "Oh, no...!" "Turn it off." "Larry." "Out back in my cassette box, there's money." "What I'm really doing, what I'm trying to do... is educate you." "Yeah, looky, looky." "Hey." "Take some of that right there." "Leave it." "Come on." "How's the old man gonna know if it's short?" "That's your genius plan?" "How's he gonna know?" "Yeah." "I mean..." " yeah." " Kranski's in there... going helter skelter with Vince, who he loves, what do you think he's gonna do to you?" "Come on, man, let's just take a couple of gees." "He'll never notice." "Just relax, okay." "There's gonna be a pay day soon... with the Mezali deal going down, we gotta pick our moment." "Yeah, we, uh..." "got something here, Mr. K." " 33,000." " 33." "And with my cut on the cars," "I figure I still owe you 140." "That'll square us." "Yeah." "Untie him." "Eww..." "What's it look like?" "It looks like a Yorkshire pudding." "What's a Yorkshire pudding look like?" "Look in the mirror, man." "Oooh, nasty." "My God, what happened to you?" "Did you get in a fight?" "Please, come in." "Thanks." "This might hurt." "How did this happen?" "I dozed off welding." "Really?" "That, uh, Kranski guy is..." "He's my boss." "Well, what was he doing at Julian's?" "That was just... weird." "He wants to share in my success." "You did those?" "Yeah." "What do you think?" "I think they're good." "Well, I am just good enough... to know that I'm not good enough." "Hey..." "But it's fine." "And I like doing it." "Anyway, I think really good artists... are egocentric assholes." " Oh, thanks." " And vain enough... to think I was talking about you." "You all right?" "Yeah." "You know when I was inside," "I used to think about when I'd get out, and how I'd do things different." "You know, I mean, not do things the same way I used to do them." "But here I am, back the way I started." "Hey, wanna take off... and just jump in my car and... start new lives?" "You'll work as a cashier," "I'll work in a factory." "And we could live in a trailer park... and have, like, six Pomeranians." "Those are dogs, right?" "But, hey, it's not that bad, you know." "India chose you... to create the centrepiece at Art Frise." "Yeah?" "What's that?" "It's a big group show next week." "Huge artists from all over, including her new discoveries." "It's major." "I can't." "This could take you to a whole new level... if..." "that's what you want." "Thanks." "You're welcome." "I got it all worked out." "We fill the order in one night, okay?" "There's gonna be over 100 cars at this event." "We can have our pick." "We're gonna need a bigger crew." "We're gonna need to move the cars fast, but there's a huge upside." "We do this right, they give us the keys, they don't report their cars missing... for two, three hours." "Yeah, and we can exceed the order." "Huh..." "I... it's..." "it's perfect." "Oh, yeah." "How do we take the valet stand?" "I'll set it up." "Yo, I don't know nothing... about being no valet, man." "Yeah, this is, uh..." "beneath us." "I hate to burst your bubble, guys, but, uh..." "there's not much beneath us." "Yeah, except maybe my dick." "This scheme is really something." " Thank you." " What?" " The scheme is..." " I'm just joking." "My ear's fine." "And by the way, this, it, uh..." "got my head straight." " Good." " Yeah." "No seriously, Mr. K... thank you." "Okay, thank you." "You can send this one." "Uh-huh, no problem." "Kristen told me about this big art show." "I want in." "What happened to your ear?" "Burned myself welding." "Bullshit!" "Whatever it is you're into," "I want nothing to do with it." "I don't get involved with criminals." "Oh, I never should've let you fuck me." "What?" "I..." "I'm working on this new piece." "It's a large piece." "I think you'll like it." "If it sells at this show, it's... it's all yours." "This is your last chance." "Okay." "So is Carl better than Belinda?" "Come on." "No, you come on." "I'm a big girl." "It didn't mean anything." "Oh well, it's really not any of my business." "Listen, it was a mistake." "I'm done making mistakes." "Good for you." "Strictly business." "Hey." "How's it going?" "Just threw some shit together." "It's cover, they won't know the difference." "This thing tonight, it'll square us?" "Yeah." "I want you to know, I mean, we should talk in private, in more detail... but I considered it, what you suggested." "Thank you." "You know, this is..." "this place, it's, uh... it's kind of a creation, you know?" "My work, you know, my life." "I've been thinking..." "Me too, a lot." "I couldn't entrust this place... to anybody else but you." "Hey." "It's the weirdest feeling." "Yeah." "Yo, Larry." "What?" "We do him tonight." " In the middle of the job?" " Mmm-hmm." "Put a bag over his head, slit his throat, put him in one of the cars." "They won't find him till the boat gets to Borat-ville." "'Cause there's no fucking way" "I'm working for an art fag." "So you with me?" "Yeah, sure, I..." "I'll back you up." "That's good, 'cause I thought I was gonna have to do you too." "Funny guy." "Tracey, two more bottles!" "When did this get here?" "Where the hell is Vince?" "After all the strings I've pulled for him!" "What strings?" "I thought India invited him." "Shut up." "Go outside and look for him." "Look at that." "Guys, all right, here are the claim checks." "They pull up, you give it to them, all right?" "You drive the cars around the corner, come back, you do it again." "What about the keys?" "You leave 'em inside the car." "And smile for the nice people, okay?" "Yeah, act civilized." "I'm gonna go play artist now." "And cute uniforms." "Faggot." "Oh, hi, there." "Get inside, funny man." "Sweet." "When did you figure us out?" "Uh..." "let's see... white van wherever I go, you and me always meeting out somewhere, never in the office." "I called Parole Services." "They never heard of a Randall Pogue." "It's too bad you and your pals... will all be in jail tonight." " I don't know about that." " Really?" "I've got enough stuff on tape to write a book." "Not without my help." "'Cause if I don't go back out there and I tell those guys that everything's cool, this scam is off... and you don't get anybody." "You know we can make you." "Now what're you gonna do?" "Are you gonna burn my other ear?" "So what do you want, Vince?" "I want what you want." "You know, I want to put bad guys in jail." "But I want freedom, I want immunity." "I mean, whatever you call it..." "for me." "This only works if we get them all, and that includes Kranski." "It's time to figure out whose side you're on." "Where are you going?" "I'll see you at the docks." " Okay, thanks, guys." " Thanks." "Thank you." "Vince!" "Oh, fuck." "What the hell is going on?" "Here for my unveiling!" "I just saw you steal a catering van." "What are you doing?" "You have to trust me." "Do I?" "Yeah." "Listen, it's all gonna be okay, all right?" "This is, uh..." "this is it." "This is my way out." " Is it legal?" " Uh... not exactly, but, uh..." "I know what I'm doing." "I know this doesn't make sense to you, but it will." "Please, cover for me, okay?" "Where is he?" "Every critic in the city is here... and they're staring at a fucking tarp." "Can't you do anything right?" "Actually, I can." "And don't ever talk to me like that again." "Excuse me?" "I said, don't ever fucking talk to me like that again." "Is that clear?" "Crystal clear." "You're fired." "Hmm." "Hey, man, it's getting late, is that it or what?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got all the cars we need." "All right, I'll ride with you then, son." "All right, uh..." "I'll, uh..." "I'll take this one." "All right, all right." "Come on, let's go, boys." "You know what, Dean?" "One last car." " You take that car." " What the fuck?" " Okay?" "Come on, Miss Daisy." " Hilarious." "Vince!" "Vince!" "I see him." "He must be the last of the cars." "We don't move until the money changes hands." " So?" " Hey." "What'd I tell you?" "He's a genius, my boy." "It's all in there." "You don't have to count it." "I'll count it in the car." "You guys are good." "Oh yeah." "Lucky you made it, just in time to leave tonight." "We are now a go." "I repeat, we are a go." "Shit!" "Get Mezali!" "Fan out!" "Find Kranski!" "Vince, you're supposed to be an ex-criminal, you moron." "Ugh!" "Goddammit!" " Come here..." "Shut up, shut up!" " Oh God!" "Watch the face." "You're that art chick... that Vince has been ballin'." "Where is he?" "Come here, I'll show you." "Come on, art lady." "Put your head down." "Hey." "Where are you?" "In some warehouse... down by the docks." "It's full of steel." "Yeah, I'm in..." "I'm in the same place." "Yell out." "Hey..." ":" "Vince, you in here?" " Belinda?" "I'm not alone." "Nice curves on the lady, son." "Wouldn't want to slice any off." "Come on, we can share her." "Yo, where you at, Vince?" "Dean, are you nuts?" "Let her go." "Yo, you got the money, boss?" "Get out of here." "Where's the money?" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Ow!" " Oh!" ":" "Ugh!" "Get out of here." "Go!" "Right in my ass." "Oh, it hurts." " You got a gun?" " Yeah." "You haven't had a gun since Korea." "It's the same one." "Mr. K. Don't shoot, it's me." "Can you get us outta here?" "Yeah, yeah, I got a..." "I got a car." "Just wait here, okay, I'll go get it." "Larry!" "No!" "Son of a bitch!" "Grab his gun." "Mr. K." "My leg." "I'm bleeding like a stuck pig." "Let me see." "He hit one... hit one, for Christ sakes." "This was you, huh?" " You're gonna be fine." " I'm fucked." " Oh!" "..." "Yeah." " This tight enough?" "I had it coming anyway." "You got yourself free, kid." "You're on your way." ":" "Yeah." "Vince, the show." "Get yourself to the show." " Get the hell out of here." " Can you walk?" "No, I can't walk." "No, take the briefcase, get me a good lawyer." " The best, I promise you." " Okay." "See you." "Sure." "He's in here!" ":" "It's really quite young and vibrant... :" "I don't see it, don't see it, don't..." " I don't feel anything." " 'Cause you're not listening to it." " I don't..." " You have to listen to it, darling." "Look, now, it's Vince, Vince." "Look, now, he has the style." "He's fantastic." "Vince is an accident on purpose." "This is it, Vince." "Hey, um... hello." "Thanks for coming." "A little while ago," "I ran into someone who called me an artist." "I didn't even know what the word meant." "I'm not quite sure I do now." "I'm just a guy off the streets." "I just got out of prison." "Part of the reason why some of you are interested in me." "I never set out to be an artist," "I just did what I did for myself." "I'd take pieces of metal scrap home, whatever I could find, and I would, uh..." "I'd go to war with them." "I'd fight them, I'd bang them together... until they'd turn into something." "What, I don't know, but just something." "What I did know was that... it probably was a better way to spend my time... than to steal cars and run away from cops." "This last piece, um..." "I almost didn't make this last piece." "I'd made so many compromises... that I started to forget what I was doing... and who I was doing it for." "This is me, without apologies, no secrets, no lies, no compromise." "How does a guy like me end up in a place like this?" "You think about that... while you're waiting at the valet for your car, 'cause it might take a while." "Enjoy the show." "Vince," "I..." "I love..." "I love this..." "I love this piece." "I don't..." "I don't wanna embarrass you, but I want to have a relationship with this piece." "It's really quite good." "Thank you." "It's gonna take a big room." " I think..." " Shouldn't be a problem, Julian." " I like it, I like how it moves..." " I, uh..." "I wanted to talk about our arrangement." " Go on." " 60-40." " You're already getting 50." " 60." "And this?" "No, I gotta give that back." "60-40." "It would be setting a ludicrous precedent." "Well, you take it or leave it." "You've come a long way, Vincent." "I've been looking for you." "Mr. Pogue, uh, can I get you something, like, uh..." "champagne, pee in a cup?" "Where's the money?" " Kranski?" " Kranski's fine." "He can enjoy a nice long retirement." "Seriously?" "Detective Pogue, Belinda." "Belinda, Detective Pogue." "Uh..." "Detective Pogue is here for the briefcase." "What briefcase?" "That briefcase." "Oh!" "That." " I'll talk to you later." " Sure." "I'd like to go over a few things with you, Ms...?" " Belinda." " Ms. Belinda." "So what do you think?" "It's okay." "It's okay." " So." " So?" "You're gonna have to forgive me... for all the stupid things I've done." "Maybe." "You're going to eventually, you know that." "Why not now?" "What about Belinda?" "This?" "Oh, I don't know how that got there." ":" "You should be more careful with these types of things." "I'm gonna kiss you now." "And then we're gonna get the fuck outta here, okay?" "Pomeranians?" "As many as you want." "¶ For you and I ¶" "¶ Love was a fire escape ¶" "¶ For you and I ¶" "¶ Lived on broken faith... ¶" "Who's the better kisser?" "Come here, you."
