Tango & Cash Page #3

What else?

The tape is ready.

What tape?

TANGO:
Show us the money.

AGENT:
It's in the suitcase.

CASH:
Open it.

AGENT:
It's all there.

AGENT:
Count it if you want to.

TANGO:
We want to.

AGENT:

Where's the stuff?

CASH:
Right here.

Direct from the police lockup.

AGENT:

You know, I like dealing with cops.

AGENT:
It restores my low opinion

of human nature.

CASH:

In that case, you'll love this.

(GUNSHOT ON TAPE)

FEMALE NEWSCASTER: Lts. Tango

and Cash, highly-decorated officers...

... go on trial today...

... for slaying an undercover agent

during a sting operation.

MALE NEWSCASTER:

Tango and Cash insist...

... they are victims of a

setup by criminal figures...

... aimed at taking the two cops

out of action.

FEMALE NEWSCASTER: Expert witnesses

will lead off the prosecution 's case.

PROSECUTOR:

Mr. Skinner, you've heard the tapes.

Can you make a judgment

about its authenticity?

I have no reason to believe

it isn't genuine.

NOLAN:

How did you test this tape?

SKINNER:

I took samples of the suspects...

...comparing them to the tape

with an oscilloscope.

They matched.

When this is over, remind me

to rip his tongue out.

With a tow truck.

When I entered the premises,

I saw the two suspects, the guns...

...the money, the drugs, the dead body.

WYLER:

When those guys showed up...

...I thought, it's all gone sour.

I was going to go and clear

everything up...

...when they killed him.

When this is over,

let's pay Jabba the Hutt a visit.

I 'll bring the chain saw.

I'll bring the beer.

(IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Detective Cash assaulted me.

He put a chair on me and sat on it.

I couldn't find a piano.

(IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

This bastard can speak English!

The squarecrow can talk!

Squarecrow?

What do you call it?

FEMALE NEWSCASTER: As attorneys for

Tango and Cash left the courtroom...

... their mood can only

be described as grim.

They face an uphill battle...

... if not an impossible one.

NOLAN:
Ray, somebody set you up good.

I feel we should cop a plea.

You can guarantee minimum security?

Absolutely. That will be the deal.

Does Cash's attorney agree?

If he's smart he does.

I want to talk to Cash.

I need to work on my

statement for the court.

What do you want?

First, to say I'm not fond of your kind.

What kind is that?

You're a glory hound and a hot dog.

CASH:

That stings.

Tell me when the critique is over.

It's over.

- My lawyer wants me to cop a plea.

- Mine too. 18 months.

Lompoc Country Club.

The gym opens at 5 a.m.

You can start pumping early.

- Who set us up?

- I don't know.

I got a lot of admirers. You?

A few.

Look, if we cop a plea,

we cop it together.
