Sam!

Wait!

Sam!

This ain't no bus stop.

Get rid of your butt.

OK, it's gone. It's gone.

You are a good, kind man.

One day, people will write songs about you.

Hi.

Hi.

First time in LA.

Oh, no. I live here.

No, I mean mine.

Oh, that's just funny.

You heard me wrong. I'm sightseeing.

I hate to use the word tourist,

but it's not like I can hide it.

Not really.

Aw, jeez.

You know, it took me three hours

just to get here from the airport.

I got so lost.

LA is one large place.

Course, you live here.

You probably don't notice.

I'm such a yokel. There. I said it.

You know what? I got gum on my seat.

Gum.

Excuse me.

Good morning.

Hi.

Hey! Watch it!

I just couldn't handle the freeways anymore.

I got so tense.

This way,

I can just relax all the way to work.

Yeah, well, I love my car.

I miss my car.

Oh, God. Look at that.

Hey, Sam!

Sh*t.

- Sam!

- What?

Why don't you just drive over

these people or something?

Don't spit on my bus, Annie.

Such a mess.

Stop!

Open up!

Get off the door. This ain't no bus stop.

He really wants on the bus.

Open up! Stop!

Don't, Sam! Don't let him on!

LAPD!

I can't hear you!

Stop this bus!

What?

LAPD!

Stop the bus!

LAPD!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop! LAPD! Get out of the car.

This is my car. I own this car.

It's not stolen.

It is now. Move over.

F***!

Man, you scratch this puppy

and me and you are gonna have words.

You understand?

OK, look, man,

we don't have to go so fast.

Just slow down a little bit. Holy sh*t.

Oh, sh*t.

Come on, man.

Just don't tear up my car, all right?

OK, OK.

Just slow down just a bit, all right?

We don't have to go so fast, do we?

We don't have to go so...

That was a nice move, man.

Whoo!

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

The least you can do is slow down.

Come on.

Oh, sh*t.

Slow!

Sh*t!

Move! Move!

Is that that guy?

Man sure has a hard-on for this bus.

Hey, buddy...

Hey! I'm a cop!

What?

I'm a cop!

LAPD!

There's a bomb on your bus!

- What?

- There's a bomb on your bus!

There's a... What?

F***!

There's a bomb on your bus!

Watch the road!

Grab that. I want you to write on it.

I want you to write on the back:

"Bomb on bus."

Write it, write it, write it!

Watch the road. Oh, sh*t.

Oh, sh*t!

No!

Don't slow down!

No! No, no, no, no, no!

Speed up!

Op...

Open your door!

Open the doors!

Stay above 50!

- OK.

- All right?

Ask for Detective Harry Temple.

Harry.

Harry, it's Jack.

All right. Yep.

You better not be calling in sick,

'cause I dragged my ass...

Harry, he's alive.

What?

The bomber. He's back.

He hit one in Venice already.

Fire Chief said there's nothing left.

Temple! We just got a ransom demand
