Baby Driver

Synopsis: Baby is a young and partially hearing impaired getaway driver who can make any wild move while in motion with the right track playing. It's a critical talent he needs to survive his indentured servitude to the crime boss, Doc, who values his role in his meticulously planned robberies. However, just when Baby thinks he is finally free and clear to have his own life with his new girlfriend, Deborah, Doc coerces him back for another job. Now saddled with a crew of thugs too violently unstable to keep to Doc's plans, Baby finds himself and everything he cares for in terrible danger. To survive and escape the coming maelstrom, it will take all of Baby's skill, wits and daring, but even on the best track, can he make it when life is forcing him to face the music?

Put your hands in the air!

Get on the ground now!

I need you on the ground!

Stay there!

Don't you move!

Get down!

Don't f***ing move!

Let's go!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Nobody move!

Nobody move!

Everybody, stay down!

Thank you very much,

ladies and gentlemen. Right

now, I got to tell you about...

the fabulous,

most groovy...

Bellbottoms!

Oh!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa!

Driving a red Subaru WRX.

No, no, no.

I'm here. You're late.

I'm waiting on you again.

Hurry up.

A**hole!

Hey! Taxi!

Yeah.

You go, girl.

You know it, honey.

Hey! Jerk.

Next customer.

Next customer.

Oh, uh...

Can I take your order?

Uh...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'll have, uh,

four black coffees, medium.

Name?

Baby.

"Baby"?

B-a-b-y, baby.

Could you pass that?

Baby.

Subaru WRX believed

to be connected

to the robbery...

The river of sin.

Sin is your enemy.

Sin can be washed away

if you just find god.

Don't walk away from your sin.

Is she in there?

I told you, no.

I can't deal with you right now.

Be on time.

It is believed that the robbers

have escaped with

upwards of $200,000.

What's his deal?

Baby?

Full cut, same as everyone.

No, doc,

I mean is he, uh, retarded?

"Retarded" means slow.

Was he slow?

No.

Then he don't sound

that retarded to me.

He's a good kid and

a devil behind the wheel.

What the hell else more

do you need to know?

So you don't think that there's

something wrong with him

just not saying anything?

There's nothing wrong

with a little quiet.

You know why

they call him baby, right?

Still waiting on

his first words.

So, you're a mute, baby?

Is that what it is?

God.

Are you a mute?

No.

So, um,

what are you listening to?

Uh, music.

That's right.

You tell him, baby.

Shh, shh, shh.

It's okay.

For god's sakes, Griff,

leave the kid alone.

You can't just be

in crime, right?

Not without being

a little criminal.

I just want to find out what's

going on between those ears,

aside, of course, from, uh...

Egyptian reggae.

What's it matter to you?

Just think that he thinks

he's better than us.

He wants to sit there in his car

and keep his white shirt

clean while the rest of us,

we roll in the dirt.

One of these days, baby,

you're gonna get

blood on your hands,

and you're gonna

find out that that sh*t

don't wash off

in the f***ing sink.

Relax. The kid did

his job, all right?

I ever say that the kid

wasn't great at his job? No.

I think he's a star.

Would I vouch for him

if he wasn't?

Got to hand it to you,

totem pole,

you're either hard as

nails or scared as sh*t.

Which one is it?

What do you think

about that, baby?

Mommy and daddy

are getting it on.

Enough.

Yeah, where do you get off?

Right...

Here.

Okay, folks,

if you don't see me again,

it's 'cause I'm dead.

Tell me about tonight, buddy.

Tonight, darling, we will have

post-heist revelry at bacchanalia.

Why, that is

the finest winin' and dinin'

of all the wines

and dines in town.

Ah, that's us.

Bye.

Well, sir,

expect the lady and myself

to darken your door

once the nose bag is empty.

And, baby, you did good, kid.

Do me a favor.

Next time doc calls,

don't pick up.

Don't listen to him.

Now, I get absolutely no pleasure

in taking candy from baby,

but we're fast approaching

the day when you...

Will be all paid up.

One more job and I'm done?

One more job and we're straight.

Sound good?

Oh...

I was gonna wait until we were

square, but what the hell.

These are for you.

Now give me your burner.

I'm gonna need you behind

the wheel again real soon.

You call, I'm there.

Here's what we know.

Two men and a woman

came into the bank branch

clad in black business clothing,

trench coats,

bandanas and sunglasses.

They pulled guns and ordered

everybody to the floor,

and then cleaned out

the registers.

And hear this, they even swiped

jewelry from some of the customers.

You awake?

They ran out of the bank

to a waiting getaway car.

A driver was there to take them away.

It was a red...

You hungry?

Always.

You got it.

Spread to the edges!

Is a young Caucasian male.

His identity

remains as yet unknown,

and police are

appealing to anyone

who might recognize him

to come forward.

The search for

the suspect is ongoing.

Police pursued

the getaway vehicle

across downtown Atlanta

and I-85 by helicopter.

Where is that cash from?

Work.

One more job.

Then I'm done.

You don't

belong

in that world.

Sorry, couldn't hear you.

I have a banana in my ear.

You heard me.

They grow up so freaking

fast, don't they?

You and I are a team.

Nothing is more important

than our friendship.

How's that working out for you?

And still the bull stands,

bloodied but unrelenting.

Gaston is running out of time.

He's had his tries

from horseback.

Now he must try to

end this on foot.

"Retarded" means slow.

Was he slow?

No.

Was he slow?

No.

Was he slow?

No.

"Retarded" means slow.

Was he slow?

No.

"Retarded" means slow.

Was he slow?

No.

Slow? ...Slow? ...Slow?

So, what can I get

you this fine morning?

Uh...

Oh, don't worry

if you need a second.

I have all

the time in the world.

Whoa, are you recording this?

Oh, uh...

Am I being monitored

for quality assurance?

No. I... I...

No.

Um, hello? Hello, testing.

What can I get you

this fine morning, sir?

Um...

Oh, um, you know

that's a kid's menu, right?

Yeah, oh.

I get it. It's early.

So you just starting your day

or did you just get off?

Oh, I don't know if I ever get off.

They call, I go, you know?

So, what is it you do?

I'm a driver.

Oh, like a...

Like a chauffeur.

You drive around

important people?

I guess I do.

Anyone I'd know?

I hope not.

Well, aren't you mysterious.

Maybe.

Maybe?

So, when was the last time

you hit the road just for fun?

Yesterday.

Oh, then I'm jealous.

Sometimes all I want to do

is head west on 20

in a car I can't afford

with a plan I don't have.

Just me, my music and the road.

I'd like that, too.

Oh.

Uh, so,

you decide on anything yet?

You are so beautiful.

You just decided that.

Oh, well, thank you.

I'm sure you don't mean it.

I do mean it.

Jonathan?

Oh, sorry.

You know, this isn't my badge.

I've only just

started here, so...

As a Jonathan?

Yeah. As a Jonathan.

Well, um, if you have any

more questions, just holler.

I have a question.

What's that song you're singing?

I approve.

Of the song?

Of the girl.

Oh, there you are.

I've been calling, baby.

You have?

I have.

My chicken just

laid a very big egg.

You in?

Am I in?

It was

a rhetorical question, baby.

You're in.

I'll be there.

Meet your new crew.

Over here is Eddie no nose,

formerly Eddie the nose.

Why, what happened?

Don't ask me that.

That's a no nose no-no,

page one.

And right here is JD.

He put the "Asian"

in home invasion.

And over there is

the one and the only bats.

No need for intros, doc.

Everybody from the jungle

to the trap know bats.

This your boy, right?

Edgar Wright

Edgar Howard Wright (born 18 April 1974) is an English director, screenwriter and producer. He began making independent short films before making his first feature film A Fistful of Fingers (1995). Wright created and directed the comedy series Asylum in 1996, written with David Walliams. After directing several other television shows, Wright directed the sitcom Spaced (1999–2001), which aired for two series and starred frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. In 2004, Wright directed the first film in the Three Flavours Cornetto, the horror comedy Shaun of the Dead, starring Pegg and Frost. The film was co-written with Pegg—as were the next two entries in the trilogy, Hot Fuzz (2007) and The World's End (2013), which Wright directed and also starred the pair. In 2010, Wright co-wrote, produced, and directed the comedy action film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Along with Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat, he co-wrote Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin (2011). Wright and Cornish co-wrote the screenplay for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Ant-Man in 2015, which Wright intended to direct but abandoned, citing creative differences. His latest film, the action comedy Baby Driver, was released in 2017. Wright has also directed numerous music videos, including The Bluetones' "Keep the Home Fires Burning" (2000), The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster's "Psychosis Safari" (2002), Mint Royale's "Blue Song" (2002), Pharrell Williams' "Gust of Wind" (2014), and Beck’s "Colors" (2018). more…
