The Incredible Hulk (1978) s04e07 Episode Script
Fast Lane
A million and a half dollars? Yeah, right in the trunk.
(TIRES SQUEALING) (GRUNTS) Nobody puts that kind of money in a car.
Get that car back.
Get out of here.
He's going to kill us.
(HOWLS) (TIRES SQUEALING) NARRATOR: Dr.
David Banner, physician, scientist.
Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have.
Then, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.
And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
(ROARS) The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
Mr.
McGee, don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
David Banner is believed to be dead.
And he must let the world think that he is dead until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
(ROARS) Hey, Joe, I don't know what you're doing, but you better get that car ready.
It's reserved for tomorrow.
(ENGINE REVVING) MAN ON PA: And there they go into lap one.
Number 34 meets with number 12, Conti, vie for the early lead, followed by Sharp and Hawke.
Around the fourth turn straightaway and, still, Baker hanging there right alongside Joe Conti.
Robertson, number 16, begins to make a move.
And there goes Conks, with Snyder following a couple of lengths behind.
Uh-oh, it appears Conti's in trouble.
Look out.
Look out, he's out of control! (TIRES SQUEALING) Hey, Joe, you gonna finish that car or what? JOE: Yeah, all right.
MECHANIC: Hey, Joe.
Hey, Joe, give me a hand, huh? Yeah.
MAN ON PA: There they are, there at the final lap.
Conti and Baker race towards it neck to neck.
Going around the final turn into the stretch.
And they approach the finish line, and the winner is Joe Conti! Come on, huh? Quit dreaming about the '64 Daytona 500 and give me a hand here, will you? All right, I'm coming.
The route from L.
A.
To New York has been inked in on the map.
We'd like you to check in from time to time so we can keep track of our customers' cars.
Okay.
First stop is Flagstaff, our garage there.
We'll gas you up there.
What time do you open? Thanks.
Let me have a three-quarter ratchet, huh? Come on, man, I asked you for a ratchet.
Oh.
What's the matter with you? (CROWD CHEERING) JOE: I want to tell you, Leo, there's got to be a couple of hundred grand in that car.
Maybe a million.
I mean, I saw it, I still don't believe it.
Want my advice, Joe? Stay away from it.
Don't ask any questions.
It's just sitting there in the trunk.
Forget it.
Do you know what we can do with that kind of money? We can get back on the track, racing.
Not sitting around waiting for some sponsor to call.
We were a good team.
With you in the pit and me behind the wheel, we were a good team.
Yeah, we were.
Now we're just wasting away.
Zilch.
I don't want to be a grease monkey all my life.
I want back on top, for both of us.
Nobody puts that kind of money in a car and leaves it.
Oh yeah, I know.
Unless they're the mob.
Right.
And those guys don't mess around! Look, Joe, we've never even stolen a hubcap.
(LAUGHING) Shoot.
Come on, come on.
Something will turn up.
What? I got alimony payments coming out of my ears.
Look what I've been doing since the accident.
I got to race again.
What about your daughter at Penn State? Those monthly payments, they ain't cheap.
She still a sophomore? Yeah.
(SIGHS) Let's talk about it later.
I better get back to work.
Leo, I'm gonna figure out a way to get that money.
Now, are you with me or not? I've been with you for 18 years, Joe.
(SIGHS) And if this is what you want, the least I can do is go along and see that you don't get yourself killed.
(JOE LAUGHING) Oh, thanks, buddy.
DAVID: Yes, may I have personnel, please? Yeah, hello, this is David Brendan calling.
I was wondering if I could reschedule my interview, because I can't be in New York until Friday.
Well, I can't, you see.
I was supposed to be there Thursday at 3:00.
Yes, yes.
I understand.
All right.
Okay, yeah, I'll be there.
Thank you.
When does Callahan arrive? Whenever he gets here.
Hey, can I help you out, pal? Yeah, I was supposed to meet Callahan here.
He was gonna give me a car.
Right, New York? That's right.
Yeah, look, he told me to take care of it.
He said he might be a little late.
I'll get you the keys.
Yeah, there you go.
It's the black one right here.
Okay.
Thank you.
MAN ON RADIO: You're listening to KSCA Barstow, where it's a balmy 101 degrees in the shade.
(RADIO STATIC) (MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO) It's not too late to turn back.
Is this worth it? MAN ON PA: And they've crossed the finish line, and the winner is Joe Conti.
Yeah, Leo, it's worth it.
How much start does he have? He's got a couple of hours.
But we'll make that up pretty quick.
This guy's a rookie driver.
What'd you tell the garage? I have a sick aunt.
(BOTH LAUGHING) Oh, I took a few days off.
Boy, they were so happy to get me out of there.
Come on, Leo.
Everything is gonna work out fine.
Except what happens when that car doesn't show up in Flagstaff? Well, I'll tell you one thing.
They're not gonna go calling the police.
I'll tell you what I think.
I think there's gonna be a whole bunch of guys out there looking for this Brendan guy and not us.
Leo, come on, we're headed straight back to the big time.
Yeah.
NANCY: You know, David, that was sure a nice thing you did.
I would have been stranded at that diner a good day and a half waiting for the next bus.
Boy, am I glad you came along.
And I wasn't about to take a ride with any of them rowdies back at the truck stop.
Thank you.
That's all right.
You needed a ride, and I've been there before.
Well, I guess when you're a waitress at some cheap, two-bit desert diner, you don't have too many options as far as coming and going.
But when Jim called, I just had to leave.
Jim? He's my boyfriend.
We're gonna get married.
Oh, congratulations.
In Flagstaff? Yeah.
You betcha.
Right in the biggest church they got.
He promised that he would ride me right up on the steps in his cream-colored Cadillac.
Jim's in oil.
Hey, by the way, where are you headed? New York.
Oh, the Big Apple.
Yeah.
Going to see a girl? No.
No, I have a job interview.
Wow.
That sure is a long way to go for a job.
Must be something big.
Ah, yes, you might say that.
David? Mmm-hmm? Do you think we could stop somewhere, like a gas station or something? I could sure use some freshening up.
Sure.
My tips.
I'll buy you a soda.
You're on.
CLYDE: The wrong car! He took the wrong car.
The wrong car! Clyde This is incredible.
You know, Callahan, if it wasn't 1.
6 American in that car Yeah.
I might be able to get a chuckle out of this one day, when I'm old and got grandkids on my knee.
So could Danny, here.
But we ain't gonna get to be old, none of us, if that money don't get safe to New York.
Look, Callahan, I pride myself on my usage of manpower, and you go screw everything up.
You give some guy off the street the car with the dough in it.
And now Danny, here, he ain't got nothing to take to New York, except some 6-year-old clunker with four doors, owned by a school teacher from Long Island.
I'd say that was a definite waste of a good driver.
Clyde, I wasn't here.
One of the guys must have given him the car.
It was your responsibility, Callahan.
No, no, no.
Your responsibility.
Your management, Callahan.
You knew what was in that car.
Yeah, but Clyde, I was sick.
I had the flu.
Don't give me that, Callahan.
The reason you weren't here is because you were hung over in some dive.
You used to be so good.
Now I can see it's getting too damned expensive keeping you around.
You get me a car, I'll get your dough for you.
You wouldn't make it past the first bar.
DANNY: I'll get it.
You're both going.
I'm jetting you guys to Flagstaff.
You pick up a car at the airport, get down to the garage.
Meet with this Brendan guy.
You tell him there's been some kind of a mistake or something.
Whatever.
But you get that car back.
(STAMMERING) Yeah, but Clyde, wait a minute.
What if he doesn't show? Don't ask me stupid questions, Callahan.
You ask Danny what happens if he don't show up.
Ouch.
JOE: That's him.
Too many people to try it here.
Oh, yeah, right.
Okay, there's a 30-mile stretch of two-lane up ahead.
It's right after the Vegas turnoff.
Now, there's nothing but cactus and rock out there.
That's where we're gonna grab him, Leo.
Better there than here.
(TIRES SQUEALING) Hey.
Hey, Nancy? (LAUGHS) Take a hike.
Hey, Nancy, it's me, Clint, remember? Hey, how you doing, baby? Go away.
Go away.
Now, that's not the way you used to act back at the diner.
I'm not waiting on your table now.
Hey.
Excuse us.
Hey, I was talking to her.
Now get lost.
I'm sorry, but we're leaving.
Listen, buddy, you want me to rearrange your face or something? I have no doubts that you could do that.
But it seems to me there's an awful lot of people around here, and someone's bound to call the police.
Then you're gonna have more trouble on your hands than just me.
Now, is it worth it? (SCOFFS) Not for her, it ain't.
Well, what are you doing that for? You look great.
Ugh.
Really? Really.
David.
Mmm-hmm? Look, you're a really nice guy and everything, and you helped me out, and I just I want to I'm sorry! For what? Oh, for what happened back there with that trucker.
You know, you give some of these guys their coffee and their apple pie with a smile on your face, and they think they own you.
I'm not like that.
I think that Jim is a very lucky guy.
You know, he's a lot like you.
(GIGGLES) He is.
Well.
Well.
Hey! Hey! (TIRES SCREECHING) What happened? I don't know.
(NANCY SCREAMS) (NANCY SCREAMING) JOE: Leo, Leo.
No! No! JOE: Leo! Leo! Leo! LEO: Wait! (GROWLS) (SHOUTING) (HULK GROWLING) (SCREAMS) (ROARING) (EXCLAIMS) JOE: Leo, get in! Leo! (ROARS) (EXCLAIMS) JOE: Leo.
Hang on, buddy, I'll get us out here! Hang on! Hang on! LEO: Drive, Joe! Hit it, drive! I'm trying! (ENGINE REVVING) (GROWLING) Stay away from me.
DANNY: Flagstaff, garden spot of the west.
CALLAHAN: Come on, Danny.
I don't like working with rummies.
Make me nervous.
Give me a break.
You already got a break.
If I was Clyde, I'd a killed you.
I just needed something to settle my stomach.
That was my first time on a Learjet.
My stomach's just no good anymore.
You're no good anymore.
Oh, what's this? For the ride back? Hey.
Don't touch me.
Don't you ever touch me.
I've been around a long time, Danny.
I've seen guys like you come and go, and they all end up the same.
Either dead or like me.
I used to be a driver.
Oh, yeah? So drive.
(CAR APPROACHING) (CAR HORN HONKING) (EXCLAIMS) Oh, David, boy, am I glad to see you.
Thank God.
I thought you'd disappeared.
Are you okay? I'm hot, tired, dusty, and my feet hurt.
(WHISPERING) But I'm okay.
Okay.
and then those two guys came after me.
You know, I don't know who they thought they were, but they weren't about to get two cents from me.
Well, I don't remember much about anything that happened after I was hit.
That green thing was something else.
He threw this one guy about 20 feet.
Were they injured? (CHUCKLING) Uh, just their pride, I'd say.
They sure hightailed it out of there in a hurry.
LEO: Our engine's thrashed.
Got beat up by a broad.
And this green thing, out of nowhere, throws us around.
We never should have tried it.
We can't try it here.
Yeah.
Now look, the guy's got to go to the garage in Flagstaff.
Joe, the car just won't make it.
This is our last shot.
Now something like this isn't going to come our way again, Leo.
I mean, I'd like to go for it, you know? Just so I know we tried.
Well, what do you say, huh? All right.
All right.
All that money.
(BOTH CHUCKLING) Well, anyway, that's behind us now, and pretty soon we'll be in Flagstaff and you will be with Jim.
Yeah, Jim.
What's the matter, getting cold feet? (SIGHS) Listen, David, uh All that walking in the hot sun might have fried my brain some, but I've had a lot of time to think.
You've been real decent to me, and I guess I ought to level with you on a couple of things.
The reason I left my job back there is because I got myself fired.
And, another thing, there isn't any Jim.
So there you go.
No Jim? Uh-uh.
There never was.
He's just a guy I made up.
Keeps things simpler with strangers.
Yes, well, I'm hardly a stranger now.
So, what, you have family in Flagstaff, is that it? No.
Back in L.
A.
I do.
My daughter, Chris, she's just a kid.
I left her there about three months ago with her grandparents.
Look, I just I had to split.
I couldn't handle it anymore.
Want me to shut up? No, not if you don't want to.
Well, there's reasons.
There's all sorts of reasons.
It isn't easy raising a little girl by yourself when being a waitress is the only thing you know.
The hours are long, and I just had no time to spend with her.
And what kind of future is there when the only kinds of guys you meet are truckers who are here one day, and then you don't see them again for three weeks? So you left? She's better off without me.
Well, what after Flagstaff? I don't know.
I don't know, wherever the wind blows me.
What do you hope to find? I don't know that, either.
See, how can I take care of a kid when I can't even take care of myself? I can't even keep a lousy job or meet a decent guy.
Oh, present company excepted, of course.
Oh, pshaw.
Come on, let's go.
We almost there? Almost.
Place don't look like much.
David? Yeah? Do you think we could stop at a gas station somewhere? Maybe I ought to call.
Forget it, forget it.
Never mind, never mind, never mind.
How old is your daughter? Her birthday is sometime this month.
Next week.
The 25th.
Chrissy's going to be six.
CALLAHAN: He should be here any minute.
DANNY: Yeah, well, for your sake, you better hope so.
Hey, since we're just supposed to take back the car, how come you told everybody to get lost? Do I have to spell it out for you? You're going to rip off Clyde? You're going to take that money for yourself? I just thought you were crazy, but you are psycho, man.
You are You're from outer space.
You'll never get away with it.
They'll hunt you down the rest of your life.
(STAMMERING) Hey, Danny, uh, I'm a witness.
That means you're going to kill me, too? Just relax, Callahan.
Everything's cool.
Just do what I tell you to, okay? (STAMMERING) What about the guy driving the car? Well, what can I say, Callahan? Sometimes this life just ain't fair.
JOE: They're heading right for the garage.
Are you planning on staying over here a bit? Well, I can't.
I, uh It's important that I get to New York.
Oh, yeah.
I keep forgetting New York.
David, I don't know what to do anymore.
I don't know what's right or what's wrong.
If I do go back, I don't even have enough money to buy Chris a decent present.
Do you think she'll really care? Hmm? Danny, please, there's still time.
Forget it.
I won't say nothing.
He should've been here.
Danny, Clyde is going to rip you apart.
Oh, yeah? Well, Clyde's stupid.
Just keeping you around proves that.
Please, Danny, just let me go.
You'll never see me again.
No! Now, I need you for just a little while longer.
This guy knows you.
Filth.
Look, I can stop at a phone booth if you want.
You know, I've never been to New York.
Nancy.
All right, all right, all right, all right.
I'll call when we get to the damn garage.
I'm going to do it.
(TEARING UP) Oh, David, I'm going to do it.
Danny, you got a light? Oh, thank you.
Oh, jeez, I'm sorry, Danny.
(GRUNTS) Sorry, uh You idiot! (STAMMERING) There's soap in the washroom, Danny.
I'm sorry.
Really, I am.
(DANNY SCREAMING) DANNY: You're dead, Callahan! You are dead! No, sit tight.
They'll probably come out for something to eat, and then we'll just go in and get those bucks.
Get out of here! He is going to kill us! There's a million and a half dollars in this car.
Get out of here.
Get out of here! (SCREAMING) Come on.
Start the car! It won't start! LEO: It's blown, the engine is blown.
I'm sorry, Leo.
I'm sorry.
Hey, come on.
We gave it a shot.
(SIGHS) A million and a half dollars? Yeah, right in the trunk.
I guess that kind of does explain things.
Yeah.
Hang on.
Operator, get me the sheriff.
Sheriff, they're wrecking my cars.
(NANCY SCREAMING) (EXCLAIMS) (ENGINE STALLING) NANCY: David.
(ENGINE REVS) David! David! Come on, come on.
But David NANCY: David! CALLAHAN: We got to get out of here.
(NANCY GROANS) Nice try, rummy.
(STAMMERING) Danny, don't.
Danny, please, I'm begging you, don't do this.
Don't.
You're a dead man, Callahan, you know that? Too bad you got yourself mixed up with a dead man, honey.
Oh, mister, please, I want to see my little girl again.
(HULK ROARS) (GUN FIRES) (ROARS) (ROARING) No! (POLICE SIREN WAILING) David? How'd it go? Okay.
Okay, Callahan's turning state's evidence against the people he worked for, and he figures you got away, so So, anyway, the police don't need me.
Well, thanks for leaving me out of it.
Oh, pshaw.
Oh, and as far as that green thing goes, well, I think the police want to keep it a little quiet.
Figure with Callahan's credibility, it'll hurt their case.
MAN ON PA: Bus number 1612, leaving for Los Angeles, boarding in three minutes.
David? Three minutes.
I don't know what your story is, but if you want to change your mind and come back to L.
A.
With me, well, that would be okay with me.
And I'm sure Chrissy wouldn't mind having another guest at her birthday party.
It would be okay with her, too.
It would be okay with both of us.
It's I know.
New York.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe this will help you get to New York.
(GIGGLES) They were laying all over the place.
And I am going to get Chrissy a really terrific present.
In that case, why don't you give her this? Oh.
And buy her a present from me.
Okay? Well.
(TIRES SQUEALING) (GRUNTS) Nobody puts that kind of money in a car.
Get that car back.
Get out of here.
He's going to kill us.

DANNY: I'll get it.
You're both going.
I'm jetting you guys to Flagstaff.
You pick up a car at the airport, get down to the garage.
Meet with this Brendan guy.
You tell him there's been some kind of a mistake or something.
Whatever.
But you get that car back.
(STAMMERING) Yeah, but Clyde, wait a minute.
What if he doesn't show? Don't ask me stupid questions, Callahan.
You ask Danny what happens if he don't show up.
Ouch.
JOE: That's him.
Too many people to try it here.
Oh, yeah, right.
Okay, there's a 30-mile stretch of two-lane up ahead.
It's right after the Vegas turnoff.
Now, there's nothing but cactus and rock out there.
That's where we're gonna grab him, Leo.
Better there than here.
(TIRES SQUEALING) Hey.
Hey, Nancy? (LAUGHS) Take a hike.
Hey, Nancy, it's me, Clint, remember? Hey, how you doing, baby? Go away.
Go away.
Now, that's not the way you used to act back at the diner.
I'm not waiting on your table now.
Hey.
Excuse us.
Hey, I was talking to her.
Now get lost.
I'm sorry, but we're leaving.
Listen, buddy, you want me to rearrange your face or something? I have no doubts that you could do that.
But it seems to me there's an awful lot of people around here, and someone's bound to call the police.
Then you're gonna have more trouble on your hands than just me.
Now, is it worth it? (SCOFFS) Not for her, it ain't.
Well, what are you doing that for? You look great.
Ugh.
Really? Really.
David.
Mmm-hmm? Look, you're a really nice guy and everything, and you helped me out, and I just I want to I'm sorry! For what? Oh, for what happened back there with that trucker.
You know, you give some of these guys their coffee and their apple pie with a smile on your face, and they think they own you.
I'm not like that.
I think that Jim is a very lucky guy.
You know, he's a lot like you.
(GIGGLES) He is.
Well.
Well.
Hey! Hey! (TIRES SCREECHING) What happened? I don't know.
(NANCY SCREAMS) (NANCY SCREAMING) JOE: Leo, Leo.
No! No! JOE: Leo! Leo! Leo! LEO: Wait! (GROWLS) (SHOUTING) (HULK GROWLING) (SCREAMS) (ROARING) (EXCLAIMS) JOE: Leo, get in! Leo! (ROARS) (EXCLAIMS) JOE: Leo.
Hang on, buddy, I'll get us out here! Hang on! Hang on! LEO: Drive, Joe! Hit it, drive! I'm trying! (ENGINE REVVING) (GROWLING) Stay away from me.
DANNY: Flagstaff, garden spot of the west.
CALLAHAN: Come on, Danny.
I don't like working with rummies.
Make me nervous.
Give me a break.
You already got a break.
If I was Clyde, I'd a killed you.
I just needed something to settle my stomach.
That was my first time on a Learjet.
My stomach's just no good anymore.
You're no good anymore.
Oh, what's this? For the ride back? Hey.
Don't touch me.
Don't you ever touch me.
I've been around a long time, Danny.
I've seen guys like you come and go, and they all end up the same.
Either dead or like me.
I used to be a driver.
Oh, yeah? So drive.
(CAR APPROACHING) (CAR HORN HONKING) (EXCLAIMS) Oh, David, boy, am I glad to see you.
Thank God.
I thought you'd disappeared.
Are you okay? I'm hot, tired, dusty, and my feet hurt.
(WHISPERING) But I'm okay.
Okay.
and then those two guys came after me.
You know, I don't know who they thought they were, but they weren't about to get two cents from me.
Well, I don't remember much about anything that happened after I was hit.
That green thing was something else.
He threw this one guy about 20 feet.
Were they injured? (CHUCKLING) Uh, just their pride, I'd say.
They sure hightailed it out of there in a hurry.
LEO: Our engine's thrashed.
Got beat up by a broad.
And this green thing, out of nowhere, throws us around.
We never should have tried it.
We can't try it here.
Yeah.
Now look, the guy's got to go to the garage in Flagstaff.
Joe, the car just won't make it.
This is our last shot.
Now something like this isn't going to come our way again, Leo.
I mean, I'd like to go for it, you know? Just so I know we tried.
Well, what do you say, huh? All right.
All right.
All that money.
(BOTH CHUCKLING) Well, anyway, that's behind us now, and pretty soon we'll be in Flagstaff and you will be with Jim.
Yeah, Jim.
What's the matter, getting cold feet? (SIGHS) Listen, David, uh All that walking in the hot sun might have fried my brain some, but I've had a lot of time to think.
You've been real decent to me, and I guess I ought to level with you on a couple of things.
The reason I left my job back there is because I got myself fired.
And, another thing, there isn't any Jim.
So there you go.
No Jim? Uh-uh.
There never was.
He's just a guy I made up.
Keeps things simpler with strangers.
Yes, well, I'm hardly a stranger now.
So, what, you have family in Flagstaff, is that it? No.
Back in L.
A.
I do.
My daughter, Chris, she's just a kid.
I left her there about three months ago with her grandparents.
Look, I just I had to split.
I couldn't handle it anymore.
Want me to shut up? No, not if you don't want to.
Well, there's reasons.
There's all sorts of reasons.
It isn't easy raising a little girl by yourself when being a waitress is the only thing you know.
The hours are long, and I just had no time to spend with her.
And what kind of future is there when the only kinds of guys you meet are truckers who are here one day, and then you don't see them again for three weeks? So you left? She's better off without me.
Well, what after Flagstaff? I don't know.
I don't know, wherever the wind blows me.
What do you hope to find? I don't know that, either.
See, how can I take care of a kid when I can't even take care of myself? I can't even keep a lousy job or meet a decent guy.
Oh, present company excepted, of course.
Oh, pshaw.
Come on, let's go.
We almost there? Almost.
Place don't look like much.
David? Yeah? Do you think we could stop at a gas station somewhere? Maybe I ought to call.
Forget it, forget it.
Never mind, never mind, never mind.
How old is your daughter? Her birthday is sometime this month.
Next week.
The 25th.
Chrissy's going to be six.
CALLAHAN: He should be here any minute.
DANNY: Yeah, well, for your sake, you better hope so.
Hey, since we're just supposed to take back the car, how come you told everybody to get lost? Do I have to spell it out for you? You're going to rip off Clyde? You're going to take that money for yourself? I just thought you were crazy, but you are psycho, man.
You are You're from outer space.
You'll never get away with it.
They'll hunt you down the rest of your life.
(STAMMERING) Hey, Danny, uh, I'm a witness.
That means you're going to kill me, too? Just relax, Callahan.
Everything's cool.
Just do what I tell you to, okay? (STAMMERING) What about the guy driving the car? Well, what can I say, Callahan? Sometimes this life just ain't fair.
JOE: They're heading right for the garage.
Are you planning on staying over here a bit? Well, I can't.
I, uh It's important that I get to New York.
Oh, yeah.
I keep forgetting New York.
David, I don't know what to do anymore.
I don't know what's right or what's wrong.
If I do go back, I don't even have enough money to buy Chris a decent present.
Do you think she'll really care? Hmm? Danny, please, there's still time.
Forget it.
I won't say nothing.
He should've been here.
Danny, Clyde is going to rip you apart.
Oh, yeah? Well, Clyde's stupid.
Just keeping you around proves that.
Please, Danny, just let me go.
You'll never see me again.
No! Now, I need you for just a little while longer.
This guy knows you.
Filth.
Look, I can stop at a phone booth if you want.
You know, I've never been to New York.
Nancy.
All right, all right, all right, all right.
I'll call when we get to the damn garage.
I'm going to do it.
(TEARING UP) Oh, David, I'm going to do it.
Danny, you got a light? Oh, thank you.
Oh, jeez, I'm sorry, Danny.
(GRUNTS) Sorry, uh You idiot! (STAMMERING) There's soap in the washroom, Danny.
I'm sorry.
Really, I am.
(DANNY SCREAMING) DANNY: You're dead, Callahan! You are dead! No, sit tight.
They'll probably come out for something to eat, and then we'll just go in and get those bucks.
Get out of here! He is going to kill us! There's a million and a half dollars in this car.
Get out of here.
Get out of here! (SCREAMING) Come on.
Start the car! It won't start! LEO: It's blown, the engine is blown.
I'm sorry, Leo.
I'm sorry.
Hey, come on.
We gave it a shot.
(SIGHS) A million and a half dollars? Yeah, right in the trunk.
I guess that kind of does explain things.
Yeah.
Hang on.
Operator, get me the sheriff.
Sheriff, they're wrecking my cars.
(NANCY SCREAMING) (EXCLAIMS) (ENGINE STALLING) NANCY: David.
(ENGINE REVS) David! David! Come on, come on.
But David NANCY: David! CALLAHAN: We got to get out of here.
(NANCY GROANS) Nice try, rummy.
(STAMMERING) Danny, don't.
Danny, please, I'm begging you, don't do this.
Don't.
You're a dead man, Callahan, you know that? Too bad you got yourself mixed up with a dead man, honey.
Oh, mister, please, I want to see my little girl again.
(HULK ROARS) (GUN FIRES) (ROARS) (ROARING) No! (POLICE SIREN WAILING) David? How'd it go? Okay.
Okay, Callahan's turning state's evidence against the people he worked for, and he figures you got away, so So, anyway, the police don't need me.
Well, thanks for leaving me out of it.
Oh, pshaw.
Oh, and as far as that green thing goes, well, I think the police want to keep it a little quiet.
Figure with Callahan's credibility, it'll hurt their case.
MAN ON PA: Bus number 1612, leaving for Los Angeles, boarding in three minutes.
David? Three minutes.
I don't know what your story is, but if you want to change your mind and come back to L.
A.
With me, well, that would be okay with me.
And I'm sure Chrissy wouldn't mind having another guest at her birthday party.
It would be okay with her, too.
It would be okay with both of us.
It's I know.
New York.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe this will help you get to New York.
(GIGGLES) They were laying all over the place.
And I am going to get Chrissy a really terrific present.
In that case, why don't you give her this? Oh.
And buy her a present from me.
Okay? Well.
