Held Up Page #3

Synopsis: While they're on vacation in the Southwest, Rae finds out her man Michael spent their house money on a classic car, so she dumps him, hitching a ride to Vegas for a flight home. A kid promptly steals Michael's car, leaving him at the Zip & Sip, a convenience store. Three bumbling robbers promptly stage a hold up. Two take off with the cash stranding the third, with a mysterious crate, just as the cops arrive. The robber takes the store hostage. As incompetent cops bring in a SWAT team and try a by-the-book rescue, Michael has to keep the robber calm, find out what's in the crate, aid the negotiations, and get back to Rae. The Stockholm Syndrome asserts its effect.

- Don't try to call my mama's house!

Girl, your mother loves me.

What?

I'll call if I want to.

What the hell?

Tough break, man.

Pretty stupid to lock

your keys in like that.

Wasn't stupid, man.

I was just in a hurry.

You gotta be careful.

This is a classic car.

Gotta know what you're doing.

- Damn.

- I can open it, you know.

- You can?

- Fifty bucks.

Fifty bucks, partner?

Who you trying to fool, man?

Fifty dollars,

I can get in there myself.

I heard some of them cowboys say

your girlfriend had a cute butt.

Is that what they said?

It was the tall one, wasn't it?

I'm gonna kick his ass.

Look, all right, this is 50.

It's all I got.

But you get it after you

get in here, okay?

You open it, the money's yours.

Let's go.

- Well, I'm gonna need a hanger.

- Okay.

- I can't do it without a hanger.

- I'll grab you a hanger...

...and a Wet-Nap to get your

Slush Puppie mess off of my ride.

For 50 bucks, you should have

your own hanger.

Yes.

Excuse me, Bing, do you work here?

No, I just like wearing plaid.

- Look, I need to get a hanger from you.

- I need 14.75 for the gas.

Fourteen-seventy-five.

Okay, look here.

- Look, I'm in a hurry. This is all I got.

- Better get something else then.

All right.

Fourteen-seventy-five for the gas...

...35.25 for a hanger.

You don't need a hanger.

I do need a hanger. If you was

in my business, like earlier...

...you'd understand the man can't

get into my car without a hanger.

- Wanna bet that 50 bucks?

- I will double down on the 50 bucks...

...and the plaid shirt.

Hey, hey. Get out of my ride!

Oh, I'm gonna kick your ass.

Your little ass is kicked.

I'm gonna kick your ass!

Goddamn!

I need a phone.

- Sheriff's number is on the side.

- Okay.

I need a quarter from you, boss.

I ain't got no quarters.

What kind of store

ain't got no quarters?

Hey, look here, partner.

What I got to do

to get a quarter around here?

I know where you can make a quick

100 if you like wearing tights.

Come on, man.

I am in The Twilight Zone.

What you need, Opie?

Are you Puff Daddy?

Do I look like Puff Daddy to you?

You got a quarter?

Yeah, I am Puff Daddy. It's amazing

how you saw through my disguise.

I need to make a call. I gotta call my

record company and check on my-

You know they're going back

to eight-tracks? Do you rap?

Because you could be Too Short.

- Jose.

- You know, Vanilla Too Short.

Sheriff's office.

I need to report a stolen car.

Bummer. The sheriff's not here.

He's at the baseball game.

Damn, why don't that surprise me?

I can have Rick drop by.

Rick? Does Rick have anything

to do with law enforcement?

Does he carry a gun,

badge, sh*t like that?
