"And for the past seven years, you have been...?" "Incarcerated." "Is that gonna be a problem?" "It's hard being on the outside, you know?" "Things are different, stuff just moves so much faster."

"Big bucks, no whammies, baby." "Get that bag." "Come on." "Coming up on two and a half minutes." " What the hell are you looking at?" " I'm sorry." "Your mask." "Condoleezza Rice, right?" "What?" "You think this is funny?" "You do realize I'm robbing you, right, lady?" "You do see the gun, right?" "You think it's funny, a gun in your face?" "Like I won't shoot you dead?"

"Let's go." "Let's go." " Okay." "Go, go, go." "Come on." " Go, go, go." "Where the hell is Ray-Ray?" "I'm gonna kill Ray-Ray twice." " He took the keys." "Why take the keys?" " You serious?" "Shut up, all right?" "They didn't see us come out the bank." "They don't know we robbed the bank." "Just be calm." "Stay calm." "Run!" "Del, where the hell are you going?" "Listen to me." "Please, get off this bus now." "I'm begging you." "I get off this bus, I lose you forever." "Same goes if you stay." "Let it go." "Oh, dude, you messed up my bags, man." " Hey." " He's got the money." "Come on." "We gotta go." "That money ain't no good to us in jail." " What the hell is he doing?" " Larue, we gotta go now." "Hey, you probably ought to get moving." "Cops are gonna jam us up." "No field trip." "I like to let the engine warm up first." "I find that a warm engine is a happy engine." "It's warm." "Go." "Now." "Officer involved in a 10-20." "Possibly 10-20-I." "Excuse me." "You don't wanna go to work today." " Why not?" " Because we have guns." "And we need your car." " It's a police emergency." " Commandeering." "Except we're not the police." "I always wanted to do that." "We gotta get that money back." "There." "Well, look who's going on a field trip." "Hey, hey, hey." " Come on." "The truck." " I see it." "The truck!" "So let me get this straight." "He took your Visa, your MasterCard, your American Express..." "Get out." "You're not supposed to move after a blow." " I just went to a safety seminar." " Come on." "Get out of here." "Hey." "You bruised my coccyx." "I don't see the bus." "Well, Redwood Junior High School loves New Orleans." "We're just gonna ask a few questions." " Who would you say was in charge?" " I'm not following." "It's a simple question." "Who was in charge?" "Bush or Cheney?" "Not sure." "I couldn't keep my eyes off of Condoleezza Rice." "It made no sense to me." "A man chooses a Condoleezza Rice mask to rob a bank then gets offended when somebody has a perfectly normal reaction to it?" "At first I thought, "Hey, I almost don't mind being robbed by a guy in a Condoleezza Rice mask." "It shows he has a sense of humor. "" "I like a guy with a sense of humor." "Detectives?" "We found these keys in the bushes." "They fit the SUV out front." "And we got a print." "Let me up." "I gotta go talk to my kid." "Sally, I know I don't have a place in your heart right now or your mom's." "At least not yet." "But I was kind of hoping that you could give me a chance to at least show you the real me." "This might be my last shot at it." "What do you say?" "I don't see you." "I don't hear you." "You're not even on the bus." "Stop the bus." " What?" " You heard me." "I said, stop the bus." "Hand it over." " Don't play dumb." "Hand it over." " Look, the shot wasn't meant for you." "Collateral damage is an inherent byproduct of any armed conflict." "All due respect to Sun Tzu where I come from you find the guy that did it you tear his heart out." "I'm Mr. Bradstone." "I'm the chaperone." "It is too frigging loud in here." "And I've got a headache the size of the moon." "Mr. Bradstone" "Now, I've got no intentions of traveling with a bunch of screaming misfits." "So tone it way down." "And don't test me, or it'll get ugly." "If you understand English raise your hands." "Now shut up." "Mr. Bradstone." "Could...?" "Hi." "We don't ever tell our children to shut up." "Even when they misbehave and act like brats." "Why not?" "Do you know the definition of "lawsuit"?" "No matter what these children do they cannot be met with such verbal aggression." "Do you hear that?" "Librarians kill for that kind of quiet." "I know." "Me too." "The problem is that when misbehavior is met with your kind of strictness bad behavior stops immediately but then it begins again and again and again." "Okay." "Yeah." "Your turf." "Thank you." "Seen his tattoo?" "It's not the type you get in the mall." "It's the type you get in a back alley with a pen, guitar strings and a 9-volt battery." "Plus he read The Art of War." "Yeah, I know." "I thought I was bad." "I've only read the CliffNotes." " He's either a narc or a CIA agent." " Or both." "He's hot." "Old hot, but still." "Scary hot." "This guy's probably Special Forces or Navy SEALs." "My marriage was a disaster." "I've been divorced seven years." "A day doesn't go by when I don't think of it and get a pain right here." "Confront it." "Tell the truth." "Let it go." "You knocked off the first one, work on the other two." "I feel something very deeply for Miss Miller." "Happy for you." "But I need your advice." "You're a man of the world." "What do I say?" "I'm so out of practice." "All right, listen." "You're obviously a big talker, right?" "The key for you is, let her do some talking, all right?" "And then when she's done talking, inhale deeply hold it." "Then respond." "Lets her think you're a big listener." "Breath mint wouldn't hurt either." "Came on a little strong, huh?" "I mean, we're here now, right?" "So you gotta make the most of the moment." "Are you high?" "When are you gonna understand that every second you're here drives us farther apart?" "Excuse me, sir." "My name is Josh." "Listen, I really appreciate what you did back there." "I swear I read this page 11 times." "Yeah." "Yeah, you know, it was pretty loud." "Yeah." "Nice meeting you." "Well, I'm glad somebody appreciated it." "Just because that print is Ray Bradstone's does not put him back behind bars." "It sure as hell puts him at the crime scene." "Ray drives." "He saw things going bad on the inside and took a walk." "Seven years ago, I busted this guy." "You know what the joker says to me?" ""Thank you." "I'm gonna turn my life around. "" "And you know what?" "I believed him." "Del." "Hey, Del." "Del, can you hear me?" "There's no school today, Mommy." "All right, Del, we know you hit that bank on Main and your associates, Phillip Larue and Goldy Stentz, stole a car right around the corner from the bank." "Why don't you make it easy on yourself and tell us where they are." "You saw a shooting star?" "Focus, Del." "Where's the money?" "Pretty bus." "What bus?" "Pretty signs." "Going on a trip for school." "School trip?" "Field trip of some kind?" "What?" "Oh, jeez." "Yeah?" "Papers?" "Redwood Junior High School." "Please connect me." "Redwood Junior High." "Yeah." "You have that field trip today, right?" "Yeah, that's right." "Who is this?" "My niece forgot her" "She left her backpack in my car." "She needs it right away." "I'm sorry." "They're on their way." "We sent home agendas for all the students." "Perhaps I could contact the teacher in charge of the" "Well, I'm in a bit of a panic here because my niece needs her insulin and she forgot her schedule, and you know how kids are." "It's not our policy to give out schedules over the phone, sir." "Really?" "Well, I'm a lawyer with Stein, Simon and Moxie." "And if my little niece doesn't get her insulin she could go into a coma and, you know what, boom, she'd go in a coma and she could die." "I'll still need the child's name, sir." "It's school policy." " Bradstone." " Bradstone." "Oh, Sally, yes." "Well, they're scheduled to arrive at the New Orleans Museum of Art at 11:00 then on to a tour of the French Quarter and then on to the Satchmo Music Festival this evening." "Hello?" "Hello?" "You know, Larue, I've been thinking." "So Del ran around one side of the bus with our money and come out the other side without it, then it turns out Ray-Ray's on the bus?" "I mean, you don't think..." "You do think." "Ray-Ray." "Okay, everybody, listen up." "There are a few rules that we need adhere to." "People." "Excuse me." "I need your attention, please." "People, I am talking." "Oh, for the love of" " Children." "Hey!" "Listen up!" "As of this moment, consider yourself under my watch." "I expect all rules to be followed." "If not, meal rations will be taken away, visitor privileges denied and hard labor instituted." "I mean, you'll get a detention." "Right." "So file in, quietly." "You're learning." "Is this a field trip or basic training?" "It's like a bad episode of Nanny 911." "And I thought my parents were losers." "Del Muniz sees a bus here by the school, maybe it's a field trip or something." "Ten minutes later, the truck guy sees Goldy and Larue driving alongside a bus." " You think it's the same bus?" " Maybe." "What if our man Ray-Ray is on that bus?" "I bet you that if we find that bus we're gonna find Ray and a whole lot of money." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "I'm so sorry, but there's been a bit of a mix-up." "Unfortunately, the docent assigned to your class has called in sick and we don't have anyone else to cover the tour." "No tour." " Yeah." " Wait just a minute." "You don't have anyone to fill in?" "I'm sorry, but not at the moment." "No problem." "I know the perfect person." "This is Oviraptor philoceratops." " Anybody know what that means?" " No." "Sally?" "No clue." "It means "egg snatcher. "" " What was your name?" " Simon." "Not only is Simon immaculately overdressed he also happens to be correct." "Oh, so they stole eggs." "Kind of like dinosaur robbers." "Maybe they should've returned the eggs and gone to dinosaur jail." "Maybe." "Except that they weren't egg robbers, they were egg protectors." "Oviraptors lived their whole lives devoted to defending their nests and feeding their young." "Well, they sucked at that, didn't they?" "Since they are now extinct?" "First of all, you shouldn't say "suck. "" "Second of all, they did the best they could." "Well, their best wasn't good enough." "Was it?" "Okay then." "Moving on." "Does anybody know what modern animal is a direct descendant of the Oviraptor?" "Anyone other than Simon?" "How about you?" "I see you trying to hide back there." "Come on, give it a shot." "I don't know." "Lizards?" "That's a really good guess." "I'm gonna give you a hint." "They're around us everywhere, crapping on everything." "Dogs?" "So you think that a Tyrannosaurus rex is now being carried around in a little bag by Paris Hilton?" " What about cats?" " Way off." "Alligators." "Snakes?" "Bears?" " Elephants?" " Incorrect-o." "Chickens." "Wait." "We have a winner." "As funny as that sounds, she's right." "It's birds." "It's been proven now that birds' ancestors all had fused clavicles and well developed furcula." "You're saying birds descended from dinosaurs." "Right." "That's pretty cool." "All right, who wants to see an Allosaurus?" "This way." "You are doing wonderfully, Mr. B." "Sorry." " Hey." " Hey." "Your dad's pretty awesome." "He's one surprise after another." "You should see my beat on the woolly mammoth." "Really butter your muffin." "Kids, all right." "We've seen enough dead animals." "How many dinosaurs you're gonna look at?" "Let's just go back to the bus and just move on." "Okay." "No, no." "It's not part of the plan." "Everything's gonna be fine." "Stanley here is gonna take you all back to the bus." " Just go with Stanley." "I gotta take a leak." " We have another hour and a half." "I know, but Stanley's gonna move you along." "Just follow Stanley." "Go with Stanley, get to the bus." "I'll meet you out there." "It's gonna work out." " Really?" " It'll be fine." "It'll be great." "Okay, we'll go back." "Don't panic." "Everything's fine." "This way." "It's okay." "Come on." "Okay, quietly, please." "Orderly." "Go on." " You hear that?" " He likes to sing while he goes number two." "He'll have to pick up the tempo a bit." "We got a fire." "Trust me." "Unless the fire is under his rear end, he's not moving." " Hey, buddy, you done in there?" " Nope." "What do you think you're doing?" "Little man, Daddy's coming in, okay?" "Just stay here until I put out the fire." "Daddy, are the firemen in here?" " What are you doing here?" " You fed us to the dogs, Ray." "I changed my mind, end of story." "I'm gonna make things right with my kid and you're not gonna screw it up." "I owe you nothing." "I think you broke my nose." "That's a nice touch, using the kid as a cover, but I don't buy it." "You left us to take the hit, to get even, and now you got the money too?" "How would I have your money?" "We saw Del doing his little magic trick, getting the money on that bus." "I walked away to save my family." "Yeah?" "I tell you to get up?" "We'll find you, Ray." "You can run, but you can't hide." "I see either one of you near my daughter, I'm gonna finish this." " Let's go." "Everybody on the bus." " No." "What's going on?" " What happened?" " Nothing." "Just gotta keep schedule." "Let's go." "Get on the bus." "Listen, we can't go yet because Nick isn't here." "This is a fire lane." "The fire department's gonna be here any second." "You got his cell phone?" "Call him." "We aren't supposed to leave for another hour." "I know, but who'd have known?" "Fire." "We gotta go." "Come on." "Get on the bus." "Sometimes you gotta zig, not zag." "Go." "Call Nick, you tell him to meet us at the hotel." "Everything will be fine." "All right, who's ready for some field tripping?" "We gotta get a cab." "Right." "I gotta do something about this." "Why are you driving so fast?" " You're scaring everybody." " Please, Sally." "Trust me, okay?" "I might not be the best parent in the world, I know how to drive." " Sorry." " No problem." "Did I not park the bus right here?" "We are gonna take a tour of the historic French Quarter." "At the end of the tour, we're gonna go by St. Louis Cemetery Number 1." "That cemetery was established in 1789." "And in that cemetery, we're gonna visit the tomb of Marie Laveau the voodoo queen of New Orleans." "Supposedly that tomb is the second most visited tomb in the United States." " Larue?" " Ray-Ray, you stole my car." "You stole my money, okay?" "You humiliated us in a public bathroom." "My patience is wearing thin with you, my friend." "Back the hell off, Larue." "You give me back my money and I'll back off." "I'm looking right at you, Ray." "Surprise." "I swear to God, I'm gonna shoot you in the face in front of your little girl." " Then you know what I'm gonna do-?" " No." "No." "You don't come anywhere near my kid." "I've got your money right here." "I'll bring it to you." "Antoine's, across the street from where you're standing." "All right?" "I'll come to you." "Now you're talking sense, Ray-Ray." "I'll be right here, I'll be here waiting." " That's them." " You got them." "Ray-Ray, you son of a bitch, you double-crossed me again!" "You're dead!" "Children, you have 20 more minutes, then back to the bus." "Kellan Smith, right?" " Yeah." " He's awesome." "Like, nobody here even knows who he is." "Well, they say that song is about his father." "Well, yeah, stepfather really..." " ... but same idea." " Yeah." "It's like he writes for" " I don't know." " Outsiders." "Exactly, you know." "People with brains, not these clones or wannabes." "Can't imagine any of Britney's songs being inspired by Kierkegaard." " Although, you never know." " Yeah." "I think it's pretty cool your dad came on this field trip." " Really?" " Yeah." "He's not like most parents where they build these invisible walls around them." "Oh, no, he's been behind walls." "Well, you can tell he cares about you." "He just wants to spend time with you." "I've been looking all over for you." "I thought we could have lunch together?" "I'm not hungry." "Here, just take that." "Oh, God, sorry." "It's my mother." "Take it." "She's probably just worried about you." "I'll talk to you later." "Hello?" "Sally, honey, it's me." "Everything going good?" "Brilliant." "Yeah?" "Oh, Marvin, can you turn the fan on?" "Yeah." "Are you learning anything new?" "No, honey, I'm sorry, you're cutting out." " Where is he?" " Hold on." " What?" "What the hell?" " It's confusing." " It's fine, I got it." " Is the weather okay?" "I'm sorry." "It's a universal remote." "It's supposed to do this." " Mom, what's going on in there?" " Nothing." "Just hit the off button, Marvin." "Can probably start the car with this thing." " Did you know that my father-?" " Honey, what?" "My glasses, I can't see." "dinosaur freak." "What?" "Whose father did what?" " Just turn it off!" " I got it." "I got it." " Mom, Ray is one of our chaperones." " Look, honey, I can't hear you at all." "I'll call you back later." "I love you." "I love you so much." " Bye." " Bye." "I got the fan!" "But he's been in prison the last seven years." "AII I'm saying is Ray-Ray was on the bus, the money was on the bus." " Like you said." " So you're saying he planned it?" "Ray-Ray did more than change his name in prison." " He became a mastermind." " Yeah, well..." " What a dump." " Yeah." "If my friend can't sell it quickly, he's gonna torch it for the insurance." "Real estate market is tough out here." " Put your guns down." " You put them down." " No, no, you put your guns down." " You put your guns down." "Well, you shot the lock of my door." "He's right." "Technically, we did shoot the lock off his door." "It was a nice lock." "All right." " Happy now, Kevin?" " It's been a while, Larue." " What do you want?" " We need your help." "Thank you, Mr. B." "That extra time in the French Quarter made the day." "Isn't it the most fascinating place?" "The food, the culture, the history, the voodoo?" "And to think, we'd never have had time for all that if we hadn't left the museum early." "I know sometimes I get so attached to my schedule I forget to live in the moment." "Life is like a raging river, Miss M." "You never know what's around the next bend." "Make sure your boat doesn't leak and go with the flow." "That's good advice." "You know, the next time I think I'm gonna zig I might just zag." "Oh, and here's our hotel." "Okay, everybody, listen up." "You have exactly two hours inside the hotel" "And I do mean inside the hotel." "before this evening's festivities begin." "In the meantime your luggage will be taken into the lobby." "You will go to the front desk, register get your keys, and settle into your rooms." "If you understand, raise your hands!" "Very good." "Sorry." "Parmesan." " Wish me luck." " Good luck." "You're going to die when you see the new me." "I can't believe you're gonna do this." "Angelina's lips won't have anything on me." "And he'll forget all about little Miss Avril wannabe." "How far are you from the Sheraton Hotel downtown?" "Okay, I need two hours to pick up my fireworks and get back." "All right, guys." "Come on, kids." "Nick, glad to have you back." "Yeah, cool." "You're the coolest, Miss M." " Hey." " Hey." " So why did you take my bus, man?" " Sorry about that, buddy." "I just got this thing about doing time- I mean, being on time." "We had plenty of time, bro." "Did we really?" "I mean, is there ever really enough time, Nick?" "I mean, honestly, what is time?" "You can't save it, you can't spend it, right?" "And when it's gone, it's gone." "Know what I mean?" "Does time even exist, Nick?" "If time doesn't exist and there's just the moment, I had to seize that moment." " Do you know what I'm saying?" " Yeah." "I just don't understand how that applies to" "It doesn't apply, Nick." "That's the beauty of it." " We're just glad you're back, man." " Cool." "Now, can I get my green duffel bag?" "I'm gonna bring it in myself." "Green duffel bag." "Right." "Yeah." "This it?" "That's it." "Thank you very much, my friend." "Cool." "We're cool?" "Now is not the time." "Not that cool." "Right." "Okay." " Larue, it's Ray." " You lying dirty, low-life, double-crossing son of a-!" "I didn't double-cross anybody, all right?" "I don't know how those cops got there or how your money got on the bus." "If I had a plan, why would I wanna give your money back?" "Meet me in front of the Sheraton Hotel, I'll hand over your money." "No way." "You know we're onto you." "You need us gone." "You ain't gonna manipulate me again." " Hold on." " Don't put me on hold!" " He put you on hold?" " He put me on hold." " Hey." " Hey." "How you doing?" "I've been giving you a hard time about being here." "Not at all." "Listen." "If I was in your position, I'd be doing the exact same thing." "So do you wanna get something to eat?" "Yeah, that'd be great." "I gotta finish up a little bit of business." "Can I just meet you down in the lobby in two minutes?" " Okay." " Cool." "All right." " Continue." " What was that all about?" " Nothing." " Is this another one of your tricks?" "Listen, all I wanna do is give you your money back." "Good." "We're gonna meet on my turf this time, all right?" "Warehouse Number 5." "Clayton and Mott." "Near the bridge." "Fine." "I'll be there in two hours." "Two hours?" "Right now, Ray-Ray." "Listen, I've got plans." "You'll get your money." "What, you think he's legit?" "No." "Not for a second." "But I got other ideas." " Josh, right?" " Yes, sir." "Josh, I've been out of the loop for a while and you seem like a standup kid." " So" " What's up?" "Well, I really don't know what kids like anymore, you know what I mean?" " In particular, my kid." " Sally." "Yeah." "I'm looking for something cool to do with her today, you know, just her and I." "Satchmo Music Festival not working out?" "It's just that with the music and all her friends, know what I mean?" " We're not gonna be able to talk." " Well, that's true." "All right." "Well, New Orleans is a cool city, so let me check online." "I think there's something she will like." "Hey, and let's keep this between you and me, right?" " Nobody else's business, right?" " You got it." "You know what I think is interesting?" "That we both ate the same part of the croissant." "Don't you think that's interesting?" "Yes." "I usually like jelly with my croissant..." " Oh, sure." " ... instead of butter." " Or butter sometimes too." " Yeah." "Excuse me." "Miss M, I kind of got a favor to ask." "Sure." "Anything, Mr. B." "Well, Sally and I haven't had too much time together lately because of my work." "I was wondering if it would be possible for us to maybe zig instead of zag." "Maybe blow off the music festival and she and I could spend some one-on-one time together?" "Why not?" "After all, you are a chaperone." "So she'll be in very good hands." " Thanks, Miss M. You're the best." " Thanks." "Hey, hey, hey." "I did what you said." "You know, every time she stopped talking I counted, you know, in my head, of course, the two and a half." "Boy, did she take me in." "You changed my life." "I'm not a big hugger, all right?" "Okay." "You know, you can play that, you know big, strong, lean, handsome in that rugged kind of way devil-may-care man's man all you want, Mr. Bradstone." "But you have a tender side that can't be denied, my friend." "Come on." "Come." " That had better be your fanny pack." " Yeah." "First thing I ever bought your mom was one of those antique hurricane lamps." "And I was never really the romantic type, you know?" "Matter of fact, I don't think I actually knew what the word meant." "Until one night, I was a bartender at this restaurant in walks your mom." "She's gonna have dinner with some loser, right?" "Anyway, on the table, we had one of those hurricane lamps which, by the way, are a terrible pain to light." "Anyway, the light from that lamp on your mother's face God, it was just magical, you know?" "Right then, I knew what romance was." "Why...?" "Why do you think she married you?" "She said I made her laugh." "This is it." " Music Factory?" " Yeah." "Come on." "Thank you." " Excuse me." " Yeah." "You got anything cool on vinyl like Sinatra, Zeppelin, Kellan Smith?" "Dude, eclectic taste." "Sinatra, Zeppelin, Smith." "Trifecta." "I tip my hat." "Come this way." "Kellan Smith." " Yeah, you know him?" " I love him." "Really?" "I heard he was really good but I wasn't sure." "Thought I'd check him out." "Who you looking for?" "Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra." " He's a little bit before your time." " Definitely." " He's a little bit before my time too." " Okay." "So I started reading up on this guy when I was inside." "And it turns out, we got a lot in common, you know?" "We both hit rock bottom." "He was sick and he was broke and borrowing money from this actress chick, Ava Gardner..." " ... who was huge at the time." " You're really into this guy." "Well, we both turned our lives around, you know?" "And Frank's music gave me hope." "Hope like I hadn't had since you were born." "Nothing?" "Sorry." " Why'd you do it?" " What?" "Leave us." "I made a lot of mistakes in my life." "I grew up with a lot of the wrong people." "I was trying to find an easy way to give you and your mom the things that I thought you deserved." "I didn't wanna get caught." "How come the first five years you were away you didn't write me a single letter?" "I thought you were better off without me." "You know, and..." "But then I started listening to Frank and Dr. Marjorie." "And I started making up for lost time." "Yeah." "I got those letters a little late, don't you think?" "It's never too late." "You gotta have faith in people." "Faith?" "Do you have any idea what our lives were like after you went away?" "Mom cried for months." "For months?" "Your mom cried for months?" "Yeah." "And school." "Try explaining to your friends why your dad can't come to your soccer games or show up for parent night like the other dads." "Because he's in jail." "I know I've hurt you bad and "sorry" doesn't cut it but everything that I learned, everything, was to find my way back to you." "This is lovely." " The tea is lovely." " And so is the company." "Miss Miller?" " Yes?" " Excuse me." "We're with the Lafayette Police Department." "Do you know this man?" "Yes." "He's one of our chaperones." "Has he done something?" "Just got out of prison." "He's a suspect in a bank robbery." "Your class is in danger." "Know where he is?" "No." "No." "Yes." "Yes." "He's out in New Orleans somewhere with his daughter probably maybe robbing a bank." " Oh, my God!" " Okay, okay." "Remain calm." "Gather the kids and let's gather up over here." "Let's go." "You know something, Ray..." "Sally, you don't have to call me Ray, okay?" "Mr. Bradstone seems kind of odd, don't you think?" "Okay." "I guess Ray is a step in the right direction." "You know something, Ray I had a good time today." "Yeah?" "Me too." "You should be with your friends." "I'm sure Josh is looking for you too." "Josh?" "He's a good kid." "I like him." "And he likes you too." "I see it in his eyes." "What are you going to do?" "Take a walk down by the river, enjoy the fresh air." "You go have fun." "And now some breaking news." "Ray, alias "Ray-Ray,"Bradstone, recently released after serving seven years in federal prison for bank robbery is a suspect in the robbery of the Lafayette Central Bank this morning." "Other suspects include Phillip "The Cat"Larue Meyer "Goldy" Stentz, and Theodore "Del"Muniz." "You're late." "Come here." "Go." "You stand right here." "Okay." "When I give you the signal, you start playing." " Okay?" " Okay." "Honey?" "You ready?" " In a second." " Okay." " Meyer "Goldy" Stintz, and Theodore "Del"Muniz." "The fourth suspect, Ray-Ray Bradstone, is believed to be in New Orleans after hijacking a Redwood Junior High School bus on its way to a field trip." "Lynne?" "Dinner's ready." "Ready, ready." " Marvin, I'm leaving!" " What?" "I get to spend some time with my little girl today." "Good time." "Oh, I'm so happy for you, Ray." "Everything is just working out like you said." " You changed my life." " Oh, we change our own lives, Ray." "You did that yourself." "Just stuck to the three essentials." "Confronted it, told the truth, she's letting it go." "She's letting it go?" "What about you?" "I don't understand." "Hey!" "Ray-Ray!" "Looks like she misses me already." "Thanks for everything." "Bye." "Hi." " Oh, look." " It's Ray Bradstone, still at large." " What?" "Just quoting the evening news." "So glad we got to spend some quality time together, Ray-Ray." "Guess I'll see you in another seven years." "Sally, I swear, I had nothing to do with robbing that bank." "Really?" "So they just flashed your mug shot on national TV..." " ... for your adorable smile?" " I was on the bus with you." "And your fingerprints happened to be on the keys to the getaway car?" "Really?" "You are what you always were, a lying criminal." " Don't say that word." " Which one?" "Liar or criminal?" "I said it again." "Sally, I swear to you I didn't rob that bank." "I mean, I was there and I was in the car, but I swear" "I knew it." "I knew something was wrong the moment you got on the bus." "I'm an idiot." "I actually believed you had changed." "Sally, wait." "You're not an idiot and I have changed." "Okay." "I know I've let you and your mom down in the past but I spent the last seven years of my life trying to figure out how to change that." "I don't ever wanna be away from you again." "I just need some time to figure out how to make this right." "Please." "How are we supposed to get out?" "Simple." "Return the money, let them take the heat for it." "What is it?" "I take it back, nothing is ever simple." "Those guys are cops." "Sally I need you to do me a favor, okay?" "I've got nobody else." "Please." "What do you want me to do?" "I need you to go to my room, bring me the green duffel bag." "Okay?" "Be careful." "Nick, what's going on?" "Where is everybody?" "Lockdown, maximum security, extreme duress." "Miss M is in, like, cardiac à la mode." "Why?" "Why are we leaving?" "We can't leave yet." "You tell me." "My dad's a plumber." "Oh, no, no, no." "I want that bag with me." "Hey." "They're putting the class in lockdown and we're leaving." "I have to go back or they'll miss me and that's not good for you." "Listen, I'll get rid of the money, I'll turn myself in." "But they'll arrest you." "Sally, listen." "Something Dr. Marjorie said to me about letting go." "Coming back here, forcing you into something you didn't want it was wrong." "What do you mean?" "I was thinking about my best interests, not yours." "The last thing I ever wanted to do was put you in harm's way." "Thank you." "You're welcome." " What are you doing?" " Shut up, stupid." "Get in there." "Get off me!" "No!" "You make a sound or look at me cross-eyed I'll shoot your old man and shoot you in front of him." "That makes no sense." " Sure, it does." " No, it doesn't, moron." "What good would it do to shoot her in front of him if he's already dead?" "Okay, I might just shoot her now, you like that?" "Is that a better plan?" "You like that better?" "Then we'll have nothing to bargain with Ray-Ray for the money." " I'm guessing you're the leader." " Right, sweetheart." "Process of elimination." "I learned about it in statistics." "And it's Ray, okay?" "Just once." "Ray." "You Ray-Ray Bradstone?" "Ray Bradstone, yeah." "Come on in, brother." "My friend Larue says you're a bad man." "Not to underestimate you." "So I brought my friends." "Listen, guys I just wanna give you back your money." "Looks like it's just me and you." "Hello?" " Ray-Ray?" " It's just Ray, moron." " You set me up?" " Better than that." "I figured even if you managed to get past the welcoming committee I'd still need a backup plan." "I'm not as stupid as you think I am." " Say hello." " Daddy?" "Sally?" "Oh, my God, okay." "Sally, listen, I will come for you." "Okay?" "You will be fine." " Do you hear me?" " Daddy, please" "I can't believe how she's grown into such a woman." " I will kill you twice if you touch her." " Okay, good." "So I can assume you're still in possession of my money since you're not dead yet." "Larue, you are exactly as stupid as I thought you were." "AII I wanna do is give you back your damn money and instead you kidnap my daughter, you mo" "Hold on, Just Plain Ray." "Not in front of the kiddies." "Now, listen, I don't trust you as far as I can spit you." "Okay?" "So here's how we're gonna do this." "Tracy." "Meredith?" "Hey, how'd it go?" "Ted, there you are." "Where have you been?" " Am I in trouble?" " No, no." "It's just, some unexpected things have happened so now we're all waiting in there." "You think I'm gonna lose my job because I let a bank robber be a chaperone?" "Of course not." "It not your fault." "Everything's fine." " Everything's fine." " Miss Miller." "I can't find Sally anywhere." "Well, not to worry." "I'm sure she'll be right along." "Now I've lost a child." "And do you think that would be a good thing?" "No." "No." "No." "You have any questions?" "I got it." "Listen, my daughter's life is in your hands, all right?" "This is all the money I have in this world and you're the only person I can trust." " We good?" " Sure." " No cops." " Sure." "Hey, buddy." "Little Sally here's been chatting up a storm." "I can't wait to get rid of her." "Good." "Put her in the cab and you'll get your money." "Where is it?" "I'm your insurance." "Just let her get in the cab, money will appear like magic." "Put her in the cab." "My pleasure." "Get in there." "Smell you later, kid." "Stop the cab." "Stop the cab." "Stop the cab." "Something's wrong, stop the cab." "Your father said no." "Stop the cab!" "Stop the cab!" "Stop the cab!" "It's the wrong bag!" "You're scary, kid, but you're not as half as scary as your dad." "I have never had so much trouble giving somebody money." "I'd shoot you now, but I need that money." "Listen, this is an honest mistake." "I'm sure somehow the bags just got switched." "It's probably on the bus." "Not a big deal." "This doesn't have to go bad." " You just let me shoot him right now." " Shut up." "You worked it with Del and now you got something going on with that kid." "Chip off the old block." "Listen, you don't get it, Larue." "That part of me, the guy that would have stolen your money, the criminal is gone." "I got rid of him." "You guys can too." "You know, I'm not saying it's easy." "But Dr. Marjorie she really helped me give birth to my new self." "There's some great mental exercises in the back of this book that" "You know, or maybe not." "Sally Bradstone?" "I'm Officer Fuentes." "This is my partner, Augie Donaldson." "Where's your father?" "No idea." "Listen, Sally, the best way to help your father is just to tell us where he is." "He didn't do anything." "He wasn't a part of that robbery." "He's our chaperone." "He was on our bus." "Yeah, then why's he running?" "And if that isn't true, concealing a criminal's whereabouts is felony." "I don't know." "He walked me back to the hotel then left." "I don't know where he is." "Honest." "All right, I want you with the rest the class until this is resolved, understand?" "Well, I'm so glad that you're safe and sound." "Yeah, thanks." " Hey." " Hey." "Listen, this thing with your dad must be kind of weird for you." "He's innocent." "He's just trying to straighten things out." "Yeah, he's a good guy." "I can tell." "Yeah." " You've got an iPhone, right?" " Yeah." " Have that app that tracks any iPhone?" " Yeah." "I need your help." "I gotta find my dad." "If you guys are planning an escape op, I'll be able to help." "Me too." "I wrote a paper last year called "The Triangulation in the Cell Phone Jungle for Dummies" and sent it to the CIA." " Did they read it?" " Yeah, but dismissed it saying that it was the fantasies of an overimaginative 13-year-old." "My dad says the same thing to me." "The point is, if you need something, or someone, found, I'm your man." "Go for it." "When was the last time your father used his phone?" "About 30 minutes ago." " I'm assuming a Lafayette area code." " Yes." " Where?" " The Riverwalk." " Got it." " Wow, you're kind of scary." "Thanks." "Okay, okay." "You're in." "Here's what I was thinking." "We have to distract Miss Miller, okay?" "I have to go to the bathroom." "All right." "It's right down the hall." "Don't be long." "Somebody has a gun in the bathroom!" "Oh, no, he's mine." "Nick, open the door." "Nick, Miss Miller is in trouble." "She needs you inside." " Me?" " Yes." "Really?" "Cool." " Let's go." " All right, come on." " Close the door." " Okay, what-?" "Hit any button." " Which button?" " Hit any button." "That one." " Sit down and hang on." "I can do this." " You don't even know how to drive a car." "Who's driving the bus?" "Sally." "Remember what I said about you not being fired?" "You're toast." "This is kidnapping." "Endangering the life of a minor." "I'm calling my lawyer." "Holy crap." "What happened to your lips?" "They're supposed to look like Jessica Simpson's." "Look like you tried to suck honey out of a beehive." " Keep going straight." " Okay." " I'm calling the cops." " Red light." "Red light." "Red light." "Yeah!" "This day just keeps getting better." "Where is it?" "I told you, it's probably on the bus." "Don't do that." "Don't insult my intelligence." "I've got 26 witnesses that will swear I was on that bus before the robbery even went down." "How do I know that's not the plan with Del?" "With Del?" "I didn't even know Del before the robbery." "I left to be with my daughter." "Oh, so now you're Father of the Year." "You don't know that kid any more than you know Del." ""Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools. "" "Einstein." ""A bullet that dwells in the brain leaves much pain. "" ""Leaves much pain. "" "Larue." "This is it." "Pull in here." " Hold on." " Cool." "Now listen to me, everybody." "I've spent just enough time with my father today to realize he's not the man I thought he was." "He's made some mistakes, but he's a good man." "At least he's trying to be." "Now he's in there, and I'm going to get him out." "But, guys, I need help." "I mean, what if it was your dad in there?" "I wouldn't get off this bus if my entire family was in that place." " So, what's the plan?" " Plan?" "A plan?" "Yes." ""All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved. "" "Sun Tzu, my friends." "Let's not just do this, let's step up to this." "Yeah." "Come on." "Quiet." "Not so loud." "Guys." "Open it." "Okay." "You guys go that way, we'll go this way." "Signal us when you're ready." "Got it?" "Roger that." " Come on." " Let's go." "We gotta be careful." "This is scary." "For the last time where's that money?" "On the bus." "Maybe he's telling the truth." "I'm telling you, he's full of crap." "It's his mastermind brain that's trying to trick us again." "The eagle has landed." "I repeat, the eagle has landed." "Okay, guys, you know what to do." "Go." "Police department, state your emergency." "Finally." "My emergency is that I'm on the field trip from hell." "I'm having trouble understanding what you're saying." " Are you in immediate danger?" " Yes." "First of all, I think my lips may actually explode." "All right." "You go in that way." "I'm going this way." "My God, I'm gonna make a hideous dead person." "Please help me." "Okay, all right." "You're going down." "Now!" " Let it go and move on." " The Dr. Marjorie Show." "Hello?" "What are you doing?" "Get up, man." " What is this?" " Rotten kids." "Caller?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Can you hear me?" " Dad." " Mr. Bradstone." " Untie me." " I got it." " Got it?" " Yeah." " Come on, let's go." " Let's go." " Where you going?" " Don't shoot." "I have the money." " Yeah?" "Well, let's see it." " It's right here." "All right." "Looks like it's all there." "Let's see if I get this straight." "He has taken" "You gotta hear this." "I think it's Ray Bradstone." "Caller, hold for one minute, please." " Your kid's smarter than you, Ray-Ray." " It's Ray." "Plain Ray." "Now let us go." "You have your money." "Oh, not so fast." "Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a very unusual call." "It appears we have a crime in progress." "Now, we have alerted 911." " We have called..." " All units in the vicinity of 1626 Mott possible shots fired, suspicious activity." " Proceed with extreme caution." " Let's go." "and see what we hear." "Ray wasn't part of that robbery, was he?" "No." "That doesn't mean he didn't set it up to rip us off for sending him to prison." "You are the reason my dad went to jail?" "No, Sally, that's on me." " They just let me take the fall alone." " My dad's innocent." "All he wants is to be a father again." "Oh, yeah?" "That really brings a tear to my eye." " You're dead." " No!" " Bye-bye, Ray-Ray." " Nobody move!" "Drop your weapon!" "Drop it!" " Cuff him." " All right, let's go." "Don't move." "Hands behind your back." "Let's go." " Bye-bye, Larue." " You got lucky this time, Ray." "Move out, move out." "Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think that's a first for me." "And maybe all of radio." "We just heard the apprehension of criminals broadcast live on 91.6 FM The Dr. Marjorie Show." "And looks like our caller, well, he got everything he hoped for." " Hey, hold on a second." "Ray Bradstone?" " Yeah." "You're under arrest for the robbery of Lafayette National Bank." " But he's innocent." " Step back." "Police matter." " I witnessed it." " Hey, you can take him off." "Wait." "Hold on." "What?" "Apparently, the whole thing just went down live on WKNO." "May even give Larue a radio show from the slammer." "He confessed to the whole thing." " Sorry about this, Ray." " Thanks." "It turns out you were right to believe him." "He did keep his promise." "He did." "I appreciate it." "Sally." " My God, are you all right?" " I'm okay." "I'm all right." " Is this your idea of being a parent?" " Mom, no." "Please listen to me." " He didn't do anything wrong." " It's okay, Sally." "I deserve that." "And that's for leaving us seven years ago." " I deserve that too." " No." "You don't." "Trust me, Mom." "I could have you arrested for endangering the lives of these kids." "You could." "I wouldn't blame you one bit." "Mom." "Don't you think he spent enough time in jail?" "Maybe so." " Dad." " Yeah?" "You remember the handshake?" "Thank you, Sally." " You nervous?" " Definitely." "My hands are shaking." "About the new job or the first date?" "Both." "It's been a long time in either case." "Well, you're gonna be awesome at both." "And just wait till you actually have a car." "You know, dates and jobs get easier with cars." "Well, job first." "I'll worry about the car later." "When I get ahead of myself, that's how I get in trouble." "Good point." "Okay, you ready?" " Ready as I'm gonna be." " Okay." "Okay." "Come on." "Oh, wait, wait, wait." "Hey." "Hey." "Okay." "Next caller, please." "Ray-Ray- I mean, it's just plain old Ray." "Larue?" " First-time caller." " You're a sweet thing, all right." "I'm having a little trouble" " Excuse me." "I'm having trouble adjusting to my environment." "Well you know, Larue, at this point I think the best thing for you to remember is the three essentials:" "Confront it be truthful and sleep with your back against the wall."
