Return to Paradise Page #3

Synopsis: Three friends share an exciting vacation in Malaysia, full of fun, drinks, women and hash. When the vacation is over, each have dreams of continuing their lives, and they all go their separate ways. One of them (Phoenix) remains on the tropical paradise to fulfill a dream of working with apes for research. Two years later, a lawyer (Heche) comes to New York and hunts down the other two friends to give some sad news. A few days after they left the island, police raided their camp and found amazingly large quantities of hash left about. Phoenix was still residing there, so he had to take the blame. He is set to be put to death in 8 days, and the only way the charges can be decreased is if the two friends come back to paradise and take their share of the responsibilty. If they do, they both will spend three years in prison. If only one does, he will spend six years behind bars...

Think about it.

104

00:
11:49,251 -- 00:11:52,667

- Morning.

- Hey, good morning, man.

105

00:
11:53,922 -- 00:11:56,840

- How do you feel?

- Good, good.

106

00:
12:02,472 -- 00:12:08,012

So? Is it civilisation

and its discontents

107

00:
12:08,228 -- 00:12:11,763

or uh... you, me and the monkeys?

108

00:
12:15,027 -- 00:12:19,107

I don't think I'm cut out for that kind

of thing, Lew. That's for you, man.

109

00:
12:21,283 -- 00:12:27,321

To tell you the truth...

I don't have that kind of stuff in me.

110

00:
12:29,166 -- 00:12:34,587

Well, I think

you're wrong about yourself, but...

111

00:
12:34,796 -- 00:12:36,872

- Give 'em hell.

- Where are you gonna go?

112

00:
12:37,090 -- 00:12:41,005

New York is calling you home.

Martinis, pretty girls, the Yankees.

113

00:
12:41,220 -- 00:12:43,212

Or do you want to stay here?

114

00:
12:50,687 -- 00:12:53,013

Don't smoke it all in one bowl.

115

00:
12:53,232 -- 00:12:55,271

You keep this. I got Tony's.

116

00:
12:55,484 -- 00:12:57,856

I wouldn't take Excedrin

out of this country.

117

00:
12:58,070 -- 00:13:01,569

- Why did we buy so much hash?

- At those prices we had to.

118

00:
13:03,700 -- 00:13:05,527

Uh-oh.

119

00:
13:05,744 -- 00:13:09,872

Well, I guess this is it, man. Yeah?

120

00:
13:10,082 -- 00:13:13,285

- See ya, buddy. Good luck.

- I'm gonna miss you guys.

121

00:
13:13,502 -- 00:13:17,286

Bullshit. You'll find a couple of chimps

prettier than both of us.

122

00:
13:17,506 -- 00:13:20,079

You f***er.

123

00:
13:21,885 -- 00:13:24,257

Take care.

124

00:
13:24,471 -- 00:13:27,342

- I'll see you.

- All right.

125

00:
13:27,558 -- 00:13:29,846

Safe travels.

126

00:
14:04,845 -- 00:14:07,134

Yeah, Gaby, listen. Yeah.

127

00:
14:07,347 -- 00:14:10,301

OK. You know what?

128

00:
14:10,517 -- 00:14:14,385

No, I just, you know,

I can't talk about anything right now.

129

00:
14:14,605 -- 00:14:19,563

Listen uh... No, I'm not interested

in discussing this right now.

130

00:
14:19,776 -- 00:14:22,314

I got two people in the back of my car.

I'm working.

131

00:
14:22,529 -- 00:14:27,405

Gaby, maybe when this shift's over,

I'll call you, we'll grab a bite, OK?

132

00:
14:27,618 -- 00:14:30,369

That's my dispatcher. I gotta go.

133

00:
14:30,579 -- 00:14:32,655

I gotta go. Bye.

134

00:
14:34,541 -- 00:14:36,333

Yeah, it's Four, under way.

135

00:
14:36,543 -- 00:14:39,213

iCan you sling a pick-up

at the Stanhope?/i

136

00:
14:39,421 -- 00:14:41,793

iLady named Eastern, asked for you./i

137

00:
14:42,007 -- 00:14:45,174
