- What the hell are we gonna do? | - Hey, look! Be quiet!

- Will you calm down? | - Okay.

Look, I want you to line her | on the main line on track one.

- Okay. | - You got it?

- Right. | - I'll take things over from there.

Right, Frank.

Sh*t!

This sucker is flying, Manny.

We should have hooked | into those freight cars by now.

Smile, man. | We're free. Yeah!

You think so, huh?

Yeah.

Hey, Manny. I want you to know I'm proud | to be hooked up with you, partner.

Look, kid.

I appreciate what you done, | but you ain't no kind of partner to me.

Don't be clowning yourself. | I don't like it.

Look at them tattoos. | They'll look really nice...

in a swimming pool | in Acapulco.

What did I do to deserve all this sh*t | you're slinging at me, man?

You don't know nothing from nothing. | Being around me is really stupid.

I'm at war with the world | and everybody in it.

And you're gonna get hurt.

- I don't get you, man. | - Well, rapos usually are pretty dumb.

Rapo! | I ain't no goddamn rapo, man!

Where'd you get that from?

It's on your rap sheet. | Busted for rape two years ago.

Sh*t, man!

That was a statutory rape.

She was 15 | and I was older than her.

That's good.

What's wrong with you? | You dying for company?

What? You expect somebody | to be watching or something?

I expect nothing.

She's gaining speed real fast. | She'll hit your territory in no time.

- The brakes are burning up. | - Are you nuts?

- The brakes on the runaway burnt off. | - How in the f*** did that happen?

Didn't they check it?

The throttle must be jammed | wide open in run eight.

Oh, damn!

- There she goes. | - Oh, God, man. What are we gonna do?

I got a wife and two kids, man. I ain't | got no money like Michael Jackson.

- Calm down. The system is foolproof. | - I need money. Sh*t!

Why? Because you designed it?

That I did, my boy. | And I know how to use it.

Now let me show you.

We'd better fly | over the highway.

Are you serious?

Jesus, those scum | could never make it this far out.

We're up here freezing our asses off | for nothing.

Hey, shut your mouth | and keep your eyes on the glacier.

This guy-- | I'm telling you.

He'd do the same thing | I would do.

Hey, I just thought about that bank | that you ripped off in Reno.

I was in reform school. | Man, that was so f***ing great.

Two million simoleons. | Man, that was hot.

Two million | is a slight exaggeration.

The insurance company-- | standard procedure.

Yeah, but it was still f***ing great, | man. Tell you what--

I know this jug outside Frisco--

good for half a million.

They had a payroll for S&H Sugar, | and S&H Sugar is a big outfit, man.

Yeah, that's what I've been | dreaming about.
