Knockin' on Heaven's Door Page #3

Synopsis: Two young men, Martin and Rudi, both suffering from terminal cancer, get to know each other in a hospital room. They drown their desperation in Tequila and decide to take one last trip to the sea. Drunk and still in pajamas they steal the first fancy car they find, a 60's Mercedes convertible. The car happens to belong to a bunch of gangsters, which immediately start to chase it, since it contains more than the pistol Martin finds in the glove box.

but you don't have any money?

Then give me your pyjamas!

It seems we've got a problem here.

Should I be afraid or something?

Martin! Don't be stupid!

Finally there is someone with a good idea!

Put the gun away! I don't want to be

involved in this. It's armed robbery!

Oh no! Just forget what I said!

- Rudi, go back to the car!

- No, I won't!

At this moment it is just armed - something-,

since I didn't take anything!

But you plan to do it!

Boys!

- Just a second!

- We don't have money...

Boys!

- One moment! We shouldn't do it!

- Why not?

It's against the law!

BOYS!

WHAT?

Just a hint - before my fingers fall asleep -

maybe you should plan your robberies beforehand!

You're starting to get on my f***ing nerves!

This gun is real!

I believe you, but what can you

really do to me anyway?

It is now 10:
58am. At 11am, my friend will

come by and he is a policeman.

He always comes at 11am.

He walks in and checks if everything is alright,

drinks a "Jaegermeister" and then he leaves again.

IF everything is alright...

Where is Klaus?

Who is Klaus?

Every morning at 11am I come in here

and Klaus is there instead of you.

Oh, Klaus!

He's sick.

Perhaps you are telling the truth

and he really is ill-

- what car is this?

That is a Mercedes 230 SL baby-blue.

Baby-blue?

Who owns it?

You're a tough customer!

Hey, wait a sec!

Me and Rudi stole this car yesterday!

Who is Rudi?

Rudi Wurlitzer!

We want to go to the ocean and we didn't

have a car. What could we have done? Walk?

And Klaus is really not ill.

Well, maybe up there, since he wanted my pyjamas!

But now he is sitting down here

with a gun pointed at his head!

That's a good one!

Really good!

My drink is on the house, like always!

No, it's 2.50!

Maybe you can get away with this with Klaus,

since he is your friend. But with me you gotta

to pay 2.50.

Good day, gentleman!

What can I do for you?

How much is this car?

That is a Mercedes 230 SL - 170 HP.

How much is it?

The way it is now?

Leather seats, special paint,

stereo radio - with CD player!

How much?

Since you are a foreigner

and foreigners have a hard time in Germany...

75,000!

Are you playing us for a sucker?

That is a used car!

I know, but it's a rare item

and rare items cost a lot.

But first we sign the papers.

Do you have money?

Not enough!

Lets bump this motherf***er!

Bump him OFF!

Bump him off and take the car!

Can you hold the car until tonight?

Sure!

That looks great on you, Rudi!

Maybe you should try on the red one again?

I will, but I think I will take this one!

If you plan to rob this shop too, I'm

outta here! Got it?

Sure!

- Am I allowed to smoke here?
