MAN 1:

Just tell him, damn it!

MAN 2:
Tell him to give him coffee.

MAN 1:
You tell him!

MAN 2:

Give me that!

MAN 2:
Look, get him some coffee

or cookies.

[FLY BUZZES]

[CAR HORN]

I know that!

[FLY BUZZES]

MAN 3:

Hey!

Where do you think you're going?

FOSTER:

Going home.

[POLICE SIREN]

MAN 3:

Officer.

The guy walked into the bushes,

maybe to pee, but he never came back.

Do you need help?

Do you own this car?

That's not him.

The guy walked into the bushes.

He said he was going home.

Going home?

Gentlemen, return to your cars.

What about the car?

I'll radio for a tow truck.

PRENDERGAST:
Let's shove it out of

the way. We'll get this lane moving!

It's dangerous.

We got a lot of glass and steel

rushing by us at high speeds.

PRENDERGAST:

Wait a minute.

Prendergast. Downtown Robbery.

Let's go.

I'm in linoleum tile, myself.

All right.

You, back in your vehicle.

You push. I'll steer.

MAN 3:
We do ceramics too.

Speciai discount for law officers.

I love Cops, the TV show.

Don't you watch it? I never miss it.

You're lucky you caught me.

I am?

Today's my last day as a cop.

Lucky me.

Don't touch it!

Don't touch it!

Just get this lane moving.

Okay. Sorry.

Officer?

Officer?

[PHONE RINGS]

BETH:

Oh, my God! The phone!

Come on, baby.

Watch your fingers.

Take Tucker, okay?

Hello?

ADELE:

Mom?

BETH:

Hello?

Mom, can you help me open this?

Hello?

[BETH HANGS UP]

Can I get some change

for the phone, please?

No change. Have to buy something.

-Eighty-fie sen.

-What?

Eighty-fie sen.

-I don't understand.

-Eighty-fie sen!

Eighty-five cents?

It doesn't give me enough money

for the phone call.

I'll give you 50 cents.

You give me 50 cents change.

-No way.

-Yes, way.

Drink, eighty-fie sen.

You pay or go!

I don't understand "fie."

There's a "V" in the word "five."

No "V's" in China?

-Not Chinese. I'm Korean.

-Whatever.

You come to my country, take my money

and don't even learn my language?

You're Korean?

Do you have any idea how much money

my country has given your country?

How much?

I don't know. It's a lot.

You can bet on that.

You go now! No trouble!

I stay.

What do you think of that?

Jesus Christ!

What is this?

The last stand on Fiji?

-Take the money! Take the money!

-What?

Take the money.

Take your hands away from your--

I can't under-- Stop it!

FOSTER:
All right.

Speak slowly and distinctly.

Take the money.

You think I'm a thief?

You see, I'm not the thief.

I'm not the one charging 85 cents

for a stinking soda!

You're the thief!

I'm just standing up

for my rights as a consumer.

I'm rolling back prices to 1965.

What do you think of that?

Doughnuts. Package of six.

How much?

$1.12.

Too much.

Aspirin. Price?

$3.40.

Oh, please!

AA batteries. Package of four.

$4.29.

Nice try.

This whole shelf looks suspect.

One soda...

...12 ounces.

Fifty sen!

Sold.

It's been a pleasure

frequenting your establishment.

Very funny.

Very, very funny.

LYDECKER:
Genuine Arizona sand,

Prendergast. Get used to it.

PRENDERGAST:

I bet.

Genuine Santa Monica sand's

more like it.

It's from my cat's litterbox,

but he said you could keep the lumps.

You took my stuff out first?

Heck, no. How fun would that be?

PRENDERGAST:
How do I get a pen out?

-Don't need no pen. Use the cat turd.

It's your last day. Be careful.

Remember Forsythe?

-Forsythe got 5 minutes to retirement.

-Two!

Two minutes, nothing! The guy was

on the way to his f***ing car.

Mowed down by a runaway impound.

Nasty.
