They talk about how the sun turned blood-red

before it set.

And they talk about how they felt

when the sun was loosing its power,

- and the cold that was coming from the ocean,

while the rest of the fire was still glowing.

And you -

You can't talk about it with them,

since you have never been there!

You will be a f***ing outsider up there!

And there is nothing we can do about it?

How did this happen?

These two morons went through a red light

and hit me.

Can you do me a favour please?

Don't let them go!

- There will be trouble with the insurance.

- Sure.

- We are in a hurry and the boy is fine, anyway.

- The doctor will decide that for himself.

Let's smash the window!

First you run over a kid and then you run away?

Don't let these idiots go!

- We've got a very important job to do!

- Everybody shut up! We're leaving now!

- What the hell is this?

- What did you say, b*tch?

Hank says we are in a hurry and

Abdul says we go! Understand?

Are you stupid? Don't let these idiots go!

You gotta hit it!

On the ignition?

Tell me... how is your leg?

It's OK.

The pain is gone?

Yeah, the pain's gone!

Good!

Little motherf***er!

- Step back!

- Don't move, a**holes!

Is the surgery over?

Yeah, you're in heaven.

I'm god and this is St. Peter.

Salam Aleikum!

Oh sh*t!

Excuse us, can you tell us where the exit is?

Over there on the left.

Did you see that?

They've got the same car as us!

Where did you get the gun?

It was in the glove compartment.

Glove compartment?

What car is this, anyway?

That is a Mercedes 230 SL baby-blue.

I mean who does it belong to?

I have no idea - we stole it!

You mean I was involved in the theft of a car?

You could say that.

- I can't remember anything!

- You helped pick it out.

- Martin Brest, right?

- Yes, the one from the hospital.

Shouldn't we get going?

We are on our way to the ocean.

You have never been there,

so we decided to go.

I think I don't want to go.

Then you can't talk about it up there!

Yes, I know, I also want to go to the ocean,

but...

... I am afraid.

Let me tell you:

You don't have to be afraid.

Didn't I tell you:

Nobody was to leave the f***ing car?

Didn't I tell you idiots

not to take your eyes of the car?

Didn't I?

Yes, you did, boss!

Why didn't you do it, then?

There was this boy...

I don't want to hear any more bullshit!

I could kill both of you!

I mean, I have the right to do so!

But I want my car back and

therefore I'm giving you another chance.

Bring the car back and the

two motherfuckers that stole it!

And make it quick!

Do you understand?

Good morning!

85.70 please!

I know, but unfortunately I have no money

with me.

Oh, you are driving a big Mercedes,
