Tango & Cash

TANGO:

Okay, let's do it.

(DISPATCHER OVER RADIO)

10-4, 20 William 12.

You are eastbound,

pursuing tanker truck.

Backup is available.

Air Unit 3 is in the area.

I can handle this myself.

(PILOT OVER RADIO) This is

Air Unit 3. Forget it, Tango.

We'll take over.

Drop back.

Drop dead. I've been

on this case for 3 months.

We're out of our jurisdiction.

Sheriff and CHP are on the way.

Do whatever you're going to do.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Jesus!

He's crazy!

Sh*t!

Glad you could drop in.

Like jewelry?

F*** you!

I prefer blondes.

Do the honors.

TANGO:
Captain.

SCHROEDER:
What's going on?

Letting the locals do their thing.

You blew out the truck window.

- Two guys are in the road.

- I noticed.

- We're out of our jurisdiction here.

- True.

- What's going on?

- I heard a rumor about this truck.

- What about it?

- It's not a truck.

It's a gas truck.

It's a major moving violation.

Check the first panel?

Full of gas.

We checked the whole truck!

There's nothing in it!

You're out of your neighborhood,

city boy!

I want your badge and weapon!

I want your ass!

Who do you think you are?!

He thinks he's Rambo.

Rambo...

...is a p*ssy.

What do you know, it's snowing!

Anybody want to get high?

DEPUTY:

I'll be damned!

Not bad for a city guy.

PERRET:

Ray Tango.

He's done it to us again.

If it isn't Tango, it's Cash.

Tango and Cash!

Cash and Tango!

These two cops are driving me crazy.

We must do something about this.

I agree. I would like

to handle this myself, Mr. Perret.

No, we will handle it.

No.

Not that way.

I have something else in mind.

BO Y:

Hey, Cash!

Armani with a badge!

(CAR STARTS)

Look out!

CASH:

Police business!

MAN:

This is my car!

Move!

MAN:

What are you doing to my car?!

Son of a b*tch!

What's wrong?

Got a headache?

You crazy!

What did you do with my car?!

I believe in perestroika!

Welcome to America!

DETECTIVE:

Tango, I saw your picture in the paper.

OFFICER:

Ray, look at this.

Blind luck!

OFFICER:
Catherine's in your office.

TANGO:
That's great!

TANGO:

You just don't take off...

...on the spur of the moment. It's...

CATHERINE:

What?

Illogical?

- Very!

- It's not that big a deal.

I'll be gone a month or two.

It takes that long to build a house,

not take a vacation.

A dance tour is not a vacation!

I just want to get away.

You have all you need in this town.

Grime, crime and slime.

No, thanks. I 'd rather go.

Okay, but give me the phone numbers

so I can reach you.

Why don't I call you?

Why don't you call me?

Catherine, if you feel stressed,

don't run away.

Stay and we'll deal with this together.

Don't make me feel guilty.

I just need some time alone, okay?

I promise, Lieutenant,

to be a good girl.

There it is!

The key word.

"Good."

You're telling me you'll be good

because you know...

...automatically, I think you'll be bad.

Yes?

What's a margin call?

Why?

Your stockbroker's on line 3.

Don't leave.

Hold on.

I have a plane to catch.

Catherine, don't go.

Think positive.

Sh*t!

Harvey, it's me.

OFFICER:
It's good you wore a vest.

CASH:
Hardly needed it with these.

CASH:

Half-Ioad soft lead slugs.

This guy was really sloppy.

Look at this.

This shirt cost $9.

Get me a new vest, okay?

Whoa, pizza!

Who was f***ing with my gun?

The sight's shifted.

DETECTIVE:
Maybe you dropped it.

CASH:
I didn't drop it.

CASH:

Captain!

Get anything out of him?

No, he doesn't speak English.

Our interpreter says he wants a lawyer.

Let me question him.

The guy who just tried

to blow you away? Forget it!

HOLMES:

Stay away from him, Gabe.

CASH:

Hi.

So, you don't know any English?

I don't know Chinese, so we'll have to

give you a crash course.

But I got a feeling

you'll be a quick learner.

Come here. Sit down.

This is lesson number one.

The next lessons get harder.

Who hired you?

I think he's one of Quan's men.

I don't know his name.

I swear!

Look at that, flattop.

You're speaking like a native already.

OFFICER:
What is this?

CASH:
English 101.

Your scumbag lawyer

won't be here for a while.

Is there anything you want to share?

A deal. Tonight.

...Front Street. 9:00.

Very good.

My compliments.

Pretty good for your first lesson.

Don't forget to wash your hands.

SCHROEDER:

Ray?

There's a big bust going down,

TANGO:
Is that reliable?

SCHROEDER:
Yes. A phone tap.

TANGO:
Fantastic.

SCHROEDER:
What is this?

SCHROEDER:
Downtown clown

versus Beverly Hills wop.

- All the news that's fit to print.

- I don't get you.

You make a shitload of money.

Why do you do this?

Action.

Good old American action.

If you want to stare death in the eye,

get married.

Is that a proposal?

PERRET:

Gabriel Cash.

How many millions?

How many?

How many this time?

PERRET:

Oh, God!

PERRET:

Ray Tango!

PERRET:

He loves to dance.

PERRET:

He waltzes in and takes all my drugs...

...and then Tangos out again.

I've had enough.

Too much television...

...can hurt your eyes.

Now do you see why we can't kill them?

No.

LOPEZ:

I do not see.

It would be much quicker.

And easier.

Quicker...

...and easier.

That's how you make a cake.

Or clean a toilet bowl, or shop...

...by mail.

But it's not how to run a

multi-million-dollar business like ours.

Mr. Quan.

On the east side...

...your part of the city...

...Gabriel Cash...

...has cost me $60 million...

...including guns, drugs and other
