"Look out there!" "He ought to be in prison." "Maybe he thinks it's a bumper car." "What are you trying to do, fool?" "Parking." "Sorry." "Park on the street, not on my car!" "Man, that don't make no sense." "I'm not touching anything already stolen." " What do you want?" " Beer." "That'll be a dollar." " Anything else?" " Tell Tommy Price I'm here." " What?" " Tommy Price." " It's almost there." " Make tracks." " You see, it's your service system." " A crack's out front looking for you." " A cop?" " I don't think so." " Who is he?" " Should I ask for his driver's licence?" "Take care, Momma." " Are you Tommy Price?" " Yeah." "My name's Ralph Thorson." "My friends call me Papa." "Call me Mr Thorson." "You won't complain if I put this gun away, will you?" "Frankly, Mr Thorson, I'd be tickled pink." "You won't run, will you?" "I don't want to chase you." "And I don't want to shoot anybody." "Understand?" "Yes, sir." "Let's go." " What do you want me for?" " You jumped bail on the 16th." " Well, kind of." " I've got to take you to Los Angeles." " Are you a cop?" " No." "This shit's got to be illegal." "Not really." "Punk!" "Are you crazy?" "That's a 1970 Cadillac!" "Hey, man, what are you doing?" "Are you crazy?" "You... you shithead!" "Don't." "I don't want you to bust it." "I know a kidnapping when I see one." "And I'm seeing one now." "Here, read it." "Supreme Court decision, 1872." ""When bail is given,"" ""the person putting up bail may exercise their rights"" ""in person or by agent."" ""They may pursue him into another state,"" ""may arrest him on the Sabbath, may break into his home."" " Man, that's chickenshit." " Man, that's the law." " Your heads need adjustment." " Don't fool around." " I fix this stuff all the time." " You an electrician or something?" " Can you fix it?" " I can fix it." ""I fix this stuff all the time," right?" " "I'm very mechanical."" " I'll fix it, Pappy." " How did you find me?" " Someone put their house up for you." "Pearly?" "Did she turn me in?" " Didn't want to lose her house." " What a rip-off." "That's life, ain't it?" " Will I go to jail, Pappy?" " I don't know." "Who taught you how to drive?" "Leon Spinks?" "Hey, what's the matter with you?" "Sure you know how to drive that thing?" "They didn't leave enough room here." "Not enough room." "Shit!" "Come here." " Don't go away." " No shit!" " Billie Joe Face?" " Yeah." " On what charge?" " Assault, auto theft." "Jumped bail." " Got any papers?" " Certified copy of the bail bond." "You'd better talk to Sheriff Strong about this." "Give me a man, I'll pick him up." "I've got the address." "Wait right here." "Yes, sir." " The Sheriff wants to see you." "Now." " Thanks." "Heard a lot about you, Mr Thorson." "It's all bad!" " Did they tell you I have a glass eye?" " No." "It's the one with the gleam of intelligence." "This one." "Just look at the two of us." "An old sheriff and a bounty hunter." "Here in all this modern turmoil." "We were born a century too late, that's our problem." "Nothing's changed." "Good guys and the bad guys." "Maybe." "Now, what can I do for you, Mr Thorson?" "I came to pick up Billie Joe Face and take him to Los Angeles." "So I hear." "My recommendation to you is to get out of town." "Yeah, I will." "Tonight." "I don't think you understand me." "I want you out now, and without this Billie Joe." "I can't do that, I've come a long ways." "I'm going to take him back with me." " No, you ain't." " I am." " Don't argue with me, Mr Thorson." " Look, I've come over 1,500..." " Goodbye, Mr Thorson." " Goodbye, Sheriff." "Because he's my nephew, Mr Thorson." "You're greedy." "You got me and you have to go for a bonus." " What is that?" " A stun gun." " What does it do?" " Ruins their day." " What do I do?" " Sit." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute!" "Get him, Billie Joe!" "Get him!" "Hit him where it hurts!" "Wait a minute." "Hit him harder!" "Get him!" "Hey, that ain't fair." "You pudhead!" "Wake up, Billie Joe." "Wake up." "Billie Joe, wake up!" " Yes." " Ralph Thorson on line one." "Damn well better be long distance." "Hello?" "It's me again." "I wanted you to know I took your advice and left town." "Good for you, Mr Thorson." "I figured you would." "Except for one thing, I took your nephew with me." "Want to say hello?" " Uncle John?" " Seems like you're in hot water." " Yes, sir, I am." " Put Mr Thorson back on." " Yes?" " You did a pretty damn good job." "You've done your duty, and I was protecting my kin." "Next time you're down Houston way, stop in and say hello." "Yes, sure I will." "Bye-bye." "Crazy guy!" "The big guy." "Here's the keys." "Sit!" " Hey, gunslinger!" " Hello, Spota." " Two for the price of one?" " I need the money." " He's as big as a house." " Listen, he almost killed me." " When you want a respectable job..." " I know what you mean." "You've got to stop wearing those pants!" "Here you go." " You ever been in the joint before?" " No, I haven't." "Whatever you do, when you get in front of that judge, don't smart off." "Tommy Price." "On your feet." "Here's the key." "When he asks, say you've got a job working for me." "There's the address." " Here you go, Papa." " Thanks." " Hey, hey, hey!" " Hey, Papa!" "How are you doing, boy?" " With an eight, with a nine." " Two tens." " Pair of queens." " Five dollars left." " Hey, Papa!" " How are you doing?" " How are you feeling?" " Tired." " Hi." "Who are you?" " I live here." " Make yourself at home." " Thanks." "It's you again." "Pair of eights." "Five bucks into that possible flush." " I'll see that." " And I see that." " Francis, you been boosting again?" " I scored at the track." " Papa, come on in." "Plenty of room." " We need another sucker." "Dotty wouldn't like it." " Come on, Papa, one hand." " Sit down and play!" " Better not." " Better not." "Five-card stud, fellas." " Good morning." " Hi, baby." " You smell good." " You don't." "Are you hungry?" "Horny." "The doctor said it was OK." " Brought you a present." " You did?" "What did you get me?" "Shit." "That's an original Buck Rogers rocket patrol." "And it's very rare." "I don't know why I love you so much." "Thanks." "No wonder you're horny." "No school?" "Helen Ryan's taken my class to the museum." "Poor museum." " How long will they let you work?" " Another couple of weeks." "As long as I want." " There's a La Maze class tonight." " Don't start that again." " Ignoring it won't make it go away." " It might." "It's worth a try." "Not funny!" "Pregnant ladies are supposed to crave ice cream and pickles." " It's important to me, Ralph." " But mushrooms?" "Natural childbirth." "Listen, I'm thinking maybe I'll have to move in with my sister for a while." "Wait a minute." "If you go to your sister's..." "She's done La Maze with all her kids." "She's a pro." "I need you here." " Do you have to leave right away?" " Got to pick up Winston Blue." " That's three times this month!" " "Crazy Winston"." "Clear the street here." "It's for your own safety." "Please, get up on the sidewalk." "You have to clear the street." "Move that car, sir." " Who's in charge?" " Sergeant Werblow." "Hey, come back here!" "W-20 Adam." "The parameter's secured and the suspect is inside the building." " W-20 Adam, roger." " Yes." "W-20 Adam..." " Are you Werber?" " Sergeant Werblow." "Who are you?" "Thorson." "And that's my pick-up." " Who the hell do you think's in there?" " We've got an armed fugitive." "Oh, bullshit!" " Hey, Winston!" "It's Papa." " What the...?" "Listen!" "I don't know who you think you are, but this is police business." "Don't make such a fuss, for heaven's sake." "He's dressing." "Dressing?" "1 A- 11. 1 A- 11." "See the man, 459 investigation." "659 South Broadway." "Look at that!" "Wow!" " Here he comes." " He's coming down the elevator." "Hey, where are the flashbulbs?" "I want to see the flashbulbs popping." "There you go." "All right!" " Hands high!" " I know the procedure, baby." "Walk toward me." "Far enough." "Hands behind your head." " Beautiful." " I know that." "...until your boyfriend shows in court." " But I need my car!" " I need it for collateral." " I'll give you my pink slip." "I don't want your underwear, I want your car." "No car, no bond." "My son, Anthony, he's a good boy." "Maybe he's a little mixed-up, but..." "He's going to come back." " He means well." " This is the first time..." "No, no." "The first time he took a hostage in a liquor store." "Mr Bernardo, Mrs Bernardo, can I...?" " Can I talk honestly to you?" " Of course." "Your son is a rat." "He's holed up somewhere and he's not coming back." "If he does, he knows he's going to jail." "And he's been there enough times to know he doesn't like it." "Now, you and me, the three of us, we have a problem, which is that if your Anthony doesn't show in 18 more days then I'm out 100,000, and your restaurant belongs to me." "And I don't want another restaurant." "I've already got two." "You mean... we lose the restaurant?" "If the son were only as smart as the mother." "I worked 26 years of my life to build up that restaurant." "I can't lose that place now." "Mr Blumenthal, what can we do?" "We've got to get somebody to go out and find Anthony and bring him back." "A detective?" "No." "The man I have in mind is more of a specialist in this line." "Mr Thorson is a bounty hunter." "My God!" "I'm sorry." "It's either that or your restaurant." "So you two put your heads together and decide." "See what you started?" "I told you to keep your mouth shut." "You owe me 800 for Price and 1,000 for Billie Joe." "Papa, please." "Enough already." "Coffee." "You did a good job." "You're the best." " That's a dollar seventy-five." " 1800." "Thank you." " Papa, can I talk to you?" " No." "Get out of here." " What is it?" " An assault." "He's heading down to Mexico and I'm making a loss." "Great!" "Now, take a walk, you gonnif!" "We ain't interested." "I'm interested." "So, when is the baby due?" "Soon." "You should marry the schoolteacher." "Eight years is enough already." " She doesn't like it." " Eight years, she don't trust you yet?" "Mind your own business and pay your debt." "Please, not while I'm eating." " What's this?" " A baby present from me to you." " Tony Bernardo." " It's a piece of cake." ""Assault, attempted murder, armed robbery." A very bad boy." "He's a good boy but a little mixed up." "He's a shooter, too." "He really wants to come in." "You'll see how happy he'll be to see you." "If he's so easy, why don't you bring him in?" "I would, but at my age I'm not supposed to eat airline food." "I'm into this for a hundred grand." "I'll make it worth your while." "Bernardo's too dangerous." "I'll take the Branch brothers." "My cocker spaniel can bring me them!" "Ralph, you're with the last of the big spenders!" " Captain Spota." "Always a pleasure." " See you later at the house." "Have you heard any talk about him?" "What kind of talk?" "Nothing." "Papa, telephone!" "Thorson." "My name is Mason." "Remember me?" " No." " Well, you will." "I'm going to kill you." "I've been watching you, Thorson." "I'm going to kill you." "I don't know what you're using, Mason, but it's no good for you." "All right, I'll take the Branch brothers." " Three grand." " Forget it!" " Three Branch brothers, $3,000." " There's two." "One blew himself up." "It's still 3,000, and that's that." "They're children." "They're little boys." "They don't even shave yet." "They're the Wild Bunch." "Everybody takes advantage, so why shouldn't you?" "All right. 3,000." "Papa, the judge let me off when I mentioned your name." " What are you doing with my TV set?" " Your picture's no good, man." " That picture was perfect." " The colour was off." "I'm fixing it." "Names." "What do you know about a guy named Mason?" " Let's see." "Tiny Mason, a pimp." " No." " Billy Mason, the dealer." " Dead." " Rocco Mason." " That's the one!" "Speed freak." "In San Quentin they had to submerge him in Thorazine." "He got out about a month ago." "Why?" "The name just popped into my head." "Thanks." " Can we watch TV in the bedroom?" " No!" "Hi, honey." "I've got to catch a red-eye to Nebraska." "Oh, no!" "Bucks." "It's a job." " You said you'd go to the class." " I will." " You take me to the airport, OK?" " All right." "Hey, look I got a weird phone call." "It may be nothing, I don't know." "But you remember how to shoot this, right?" "It's got a full clip." " Bang, bang, bang, bang." "OK?" " I'll be OK." " Hi, Ralph." " How are you doing?" " How long have you been here?" " A few minutes." "God, that perfume, I love it!" "When will you make an honest woman out of this girl?" "Why ruin a good relationship?" " When are you due, honey?" " Pretty soon." "It'll be different in this house with a kid around." "I'm already running an orphanage." "What's one more?" " You'll see." " Dotty!" "Telephone." " Are you a troublemaker?" " Are you scared or something?" "I'm scared." "What happens to Dorothy and the kid if I get popped?" "A house full of toys, a mean dog and a '51 Chevy." "I'm too old for this." "That's a lousy excuse and you know it." "She's terrific and she loves you." "It's going to be wonderful." "You're going to be a father, Ralph." "You think you've got troubles." "Ralph, we're in a hurry." " I'll talk to you, Pete." " Bye-bye, Pete." "You'll love La Maze if you give it a chance." "A lot of the guys were as hesitant as you..." "Why are you riding behind this slowpoke?" "Just pass him." "Every guy has come around a hundred per cent." " There's a faster car behind you." " Will you let me drive?" "Are you going to sit there, or are you coming in?" "Don't be so squirrelly!" "Squeeze her leg firmly, building in intensity like a real contraction." "Building to a peak." "Forty seconds." "Only fifteen seconds to go." "Easing off a little now." "Check for relaxation." "Five seconds to go." "And contraction ends." "And relax." "I'm so pleased you're here." "It's a lot harder for a woman to do this alone." " I've got a bad back." " It's always difficult the first time." "If you can squeeze, it'll help her a lot." "If she can practise relaxing, she'll be more secure handling labour." "Having a baby is one of the most beautiful experiences." "You wouldn't want to be excluded." "Mister." "Thanks." "Come to Mama." "Hi, you guys." "Nice to see you." " It's brand-new. 78 miles." " Don't you have an older car...?" "Hey, Teach." "Who is that?" "Howard, is that you?" "Violets are blue, roses are red." "There's no school today..." "Whoever you are, you're a jerk!" "...because teacher's dead." "This isn't funny!" "I could kill you." "I really could!" " Teacher thinks I'm going to kill her." " Go away, please!" "I'm not going to kill the teacher." "I'm going to kill Papa!" "Who are you?" "Open up the door and see who's going to kill Papa." "Tell Papa, Mason said "soon"." "Real soon." "Branch brothers?" "Sure." "Crazy bastards." "Dumb as shit and mean." "Went to school with John, the bigger one." "We was on the basketball team." " All I need is the directions." " All in the Lord's time, son." "I made a mistake." "John Branch put dynamite in the locker room urinals." "Blew the gym halfway across to Canada." "I'll take these two guys back to LA with me." "I need directions and a few of your guys to help, OK?" "I'll give you directions but no men, not with those crazy bastards." "And you're a crazy bastard for going after them." "We'll check the neighbourhood." "If anything turns up, we'll let you know." "Thank you." " I'm sure it was just some nut." " Thank you." "I'll get a substitute to take your class for the day." "I'm OK." "I don't want to make a big deal out of this." "God knows what Ralph'd do if he found out." "We can't handle any more trouble, not now." "Have it your way, but try to relax, all right?" "Oh, shit!" "Oh, damn!" "Where'd he come from?" " Get in front of him, Matthew." " Don't tell me how to drive!" "He's trying to run us over!" " Here, Matthew." " Keep that away from me!" "We got him!" "Son of a bitch!" "We got him this time!" "I'd like to see the look on his face." " Look out!" " Shit!" "Where did he come from?" "The dynamite!" " What dynamite?" " Back there!" "Come on!" "Hey, Dotty!" " Hey, Romero!" " Dotty!" " ?" "Cuando te alivia?" " Dos semanas." " Hi, baby." " Hi, honey." "I'll get the water." " Ralph...!" " I'm sorry." " Had another La Maze class today?" " Yeah." " How did it go?" " You don't want to know." "I do." " No, you don't." " I really do." "OK, we talked about transition." "And about the coach, and how important he is." " The coach?" " Yeah." "Birth is like a game." "The mother's the team, the father's the coach." "How the game turns out depends a lot on the coach." "There's this woman in our class named Edith." "With her first baby she started pushing too soon." "You shouldn't push until you're completely dilated." "The baby's head's down there." "But you feel like you have to, so you blow instead." "Like that." "Edith wasn't dilated, but she started pushing anyway." "Her husband took her face in his hands, and he said, "Blow, Edith!"" "He started blowing himself, right to her, willing her to do it with him." "Yeah, like that." "She was able to stop pushing because he did that." "Isn't that beautiful?" "I'm such a sucker for inspirational moments." "You ought to let your hair grow out." "It looked better when it was longer." "I'm too old for that." "You like old things." "It's all you care about." " You don't like anything that's new." " New things are no good." "Give them a chance to prove themselves." "You know they will, in time." "I love you." "Shit!" " Hello, Pete." " Come on in!" "Just the guy I want to see." "What you need is a drink." "There we go." " Why don't you let me...?" " Come on!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "You're dead." "You see that house?" "That's Hyatt, Frank B." "Male Caucasian, five foot nine, 180 pounds." "Come on, Pete." "Hand over the gun." "Good, Ralph, very good." "Talk to the subject." "Calm him down." "That bastard sells dope to school children and he lives in that house." "He looks up here and he sees me, and he laughs his head off." "He throws pebbles up." "I swear, he throws pebbles up at me." "I find them on the deck when I come home at night." "Is that right?" "Is that right?" "Well, that's the way it is, pal." "That's what I am." "A pebble." "Guess what the pebble did." "I took a little for myself." "Just a couple of bags from the inventory room." "I got tired of being a pebble." "And I sold some and somebody got busted and somebody talked." "And guess who they're coming after." "Come on, Ralph." "Be a pal." "Guess who they're coming after." "Would you go?" "No." "So I figured I'd do the right thing." "I'm going to blow Hyatt, Frank B's head off then I'm going to do me in." "Come on, that's the booze talking." "You're drunk." "Sure I'm drunk." "Do you think I could kill myself if I was sober?" "Come on, Ralph, there's another bottle on the couch." "Let's finish it off, then you go away." "Please, Ralph, you know I'm right." "I can't go in the slammer." "You know what they do to cops." "I put half of them in there." "Let's get shitfaced, then you leave me alone." " A pair of jacks." " I've got ten bucks." "All right, with a six." " All right, this is the dead lead." " Dead lead, right." "Hi, Papa." " Hey, Pop!" " Come on in." "Room for one more, Papa." "Come and join us." "We haven't got all night, let's go!" " Please leave." " Hey, it's early, man!" "Just go on home." "Get out!" " Can I get a ride with you?" " Goodnight, Dotty." "I almost got the set fixed." " Goodnight, Dotty." " Night." "What the hell's the matter with you, Ralph?" "Make some coffee." "Are you OK?" "Is it a contraction?" "It's just a cramp." "It's over." "Great." " Get used to the idea." "It's almost time." " Don't you think I know that?" "I think you know it." "I don't think you accept it." "It's crazy to bring a kid into this world." "You should have had it aborted." " I begged and pleaded." " It was my decision." " Both of us should've been involved." " Both of us don't get an abortion!" "Both of us don't have to climb up on that table." "Yeah, all right." "Go ahead, have your kid." "Our kid!" "Yeah." "Tom." "She just told me it came over the radio upstairs." "Spota just killed himself." "Look, Tommy, I came here to drink, not to talk." "I got you." "Hey, Pappy." " Why are you here?" "I kicked you out." " I knew you didn't mean it." " What are you doing to the toaster?" " Fixing it." " Fix the TV set first." " Did you see it?" "It's almost done." "Where's Dotty?" "She's in the bedroom." "All right, look." "I know you're mad, but let's not fight." "I heard about Spota." "That doesn't make what you said OK." "I was out of line." "I'm tired of your crap." "You don't want me or the baby." "We don't want you!" "Wake up!" " Who is it?" " Ritchie." "Open the front door!" "Ritchie, go away." " Get out of bed and open the door!" " Shit." " What time is it?" " It's two twenty." " What day is it?" " It's a beautiful day." " Up and at them, Papa." "Come on!" " I'm tired." "I don't know why I try to help you." "You've got a kid coming, and bills." " She's gone." " What did you do to her?" "Nothing." "She's the best thing that ever happened to you." " She's a pain in the ass." " I'm coming in." "That's a nice way to talk." "Look, Papa a Chinese philosopher said," ""With money, the world goes round." "Without it, it goes flat." He also said..." " Who said that?" " He was a cook." "Look, it takes a lot of money to get a woman back." "Believe me." "And I'm here to offer you a lot of money." "Anthony Bernardo." "You met his parents. $8,000." "I don't want her back." "You don't want to hear this, but you're going to." "A grown man is no more than his family." "Your kids, your old lady... headaches maybe, but they're who you are!" "Maybe you have a job." "What does it matter?" "Who does it matter to?" "Tell me!" "Nobody." "Like litter in the streets." "Yeah!" "Dotty made this place make sense." "She made you make sense." "You don't need that?" "I'll get Bernardo." "He's living in Chicago." "A toddling town." "OK, how would you define a great man?" "Would you say that Napoleon was as great as Lincoln, for instance?" "Kelly?" " Lincoln was a much greater man." " Why?" "Lincoln freed the slaves." "He kept the Union together." "Did Napoleon do some good things for Europe?" " Yes, but he made himself dictator..." " Don't go crazy." "I'll be right back." "Yes?" " I've got to go to Chicago." " So?" " I did the shopping." " You interrupted my class." " I'll be back in a few days." " Well, I may not be there." "All right, all right." "Will you give me a break?" "When I tell you to come home, I want you home!" "Look at that shit." "Can you believe that shit?" "I don't." "Oh, come on, Jackie!" " Hey, watch it, man!" " Sorry." "All right, Bernardo, it's time to come home." "He's going to kill himself!" "What's going on?" "I'm going to get you!" "Hey, sucker!" "Fool!" "Watch out!" "Watch out!" "For Christ's sake!" "Don't stop, man!" "Don't stop at stations and don't slow down, or I'll kill the kid!" "Open that door!" "Mommy!" "You stay there." "You stay there!" "Mom!" "Mom, come and get me!" "Let go!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Back up, man!" "Back up, or I'll blow her head off!" "Oh, God!" "Is it ever going to end?" "Mom!" "Mom!" "What are you doing?" "You son of a bitch!" "Bring back my car!" "You damn fool, what are you doing?" "That was my car!" "Come on back here!" " How much?" " Thirteen seventy-five." " How much?" "There you go." " Thanks." " Goodnight." " Have a good evening." "Dotty?" "Here." "Oh, Papa." " What happened?" " I don't know." "He hit me with a rifle." " Who?" " Some crazy guy." "He took Dotty." "He said "school"." "I'm sorry, Papa, but I tried to stop him." "You did good." "You did good, Tommy." "Keep away from her!" "Up against the wall." "Move!" "Move against the wall!" " Throw out your gun." " I'm clean." "Turn your pockets inside out." "Come on!" "Inside pockets." "Stuff your hand in it!" "The other side." "Now, move!" "Take your coat off." "Come on, move." "Move!" "Turn around." "Hands up!" "All the way around." "Come on!" "Pick up your pants leg." "Come on, pick it up!" "Shut up, Teach." "Come on, pick up the pants leg!" "Other one." "Get it up!" "Throw it against the wall." "Throw it against the wall!" "Why don't you let her go?" " I'm going to kill you, and she'll watch." " I didn't send you to prison, pal." "What's going on...?" "Papa!" "I'm going to kill you!" "Papa!" "It's all right, honey." "It's over." "Is it the baby?" "Take it easy." "Come on." "Come on." "We've got to get out." " Oh, God, I've got to push!" " Blow!" "Blow!" " Breathe through the pain." " Oh, Jesus!" " It's coming." " No!" " We're almost there." "Almost there." " It's too late." "No, it's not." "Now, this is your coach." "Relax." "Relax!" "Easy." "Easy." "Easy." "Now, hold on." "I need a doctor!" "My girlfriend's having a baby." " You'll have to fill out this card first." " She's having it out in the car!" "Oh, my God." "I'll get a doctor." "Doctor Martin?" " A woman in a car is having a baby." " Nurse, bring the BOA kit." "You take care of him." "I'll take care of the mother." "Are you all right?" "The baby's just fine." "Are you the father?" "God bless you."
