The Blues Brothers Page #2

Synopsis: After the release of Jake Blues from prison, he and brother Elwood go to visit "The Penguin", the last of the nuns who raised them in a boarding school. They learn the Archdiocese will stop supporting the school and will sell the place to the Education Authority. The only way to keep the place open is if the $5000 tax on the property is paid within 11 days. The Blues Brothers want to help, and decide to put their blues band back together and raise the money by staging a big gig. As they set off on their "mission from God" they seem to make more enemies along the way. Will they manage to come up with the money in time?

Well, getting the band

back together might not be that easy.

- What are you talking about?

- They split.

They all took straightjobs.

Yeah? So you know

where they are.

You said you were

keeping in touch with them.

I got a couple of leads,

a few phone numbers.

But, I mean, how many ofthem

visited or even wrote you?

They're not the kind of guys

who write letters.

You were outside.

I was inside.

You were supposed to keep

in touch with the band.

I kept asking you

ifwe were gonna play again.

What was I gonna do,

take away your only hope?

Take away the very thing

that kept you going in there?

I took the liberty

of bullshitting you. Okay?

- You lied to me.

- It wasn't lies. It wasjust bullshit.

- Sh*t.

- What?

- Rollers.

- No.

Sh*t.

- What? What did I do?

- You failed to stop at a red signal.

The light was yellow, sir.

May I see your license, please?

Goddam it!

I haven't been pulled over

in six months.

I bet those cops

have got SCMODS.

State County Municipal Offender

Data System.

Elwood, we show your license

currently under suspension.

Step out ofthe car, please.

First you trade the Cadillac

for a microphone.

Then you lie to me

about the band.

Now you're gonna put me

right back in thejoint!

They're not gonna catch us.

We're on a mission from God.

We are in high-speed pursuit

northbound on Courtland Avenue.

Black-and-white 1 974 Dodge sedan

with Illinois plates.

Request assistance.

We'll be all right ifwe can

just get back on the expressway.

This don't look

like no expressway to me!

Don't yell at me.

What do you want me to do,

motor head?

Try not to be so negative

all the time.

Why don't you offer

some constructive criticism?

You got us into this parking lot, pal.

Now you get us out!

You want out

ofthis parking lot?

- Will there be anything else?

Baby clothes.

This place has got everything.

New Oldsmobiles

Pier 1 Imports.

Oh, sh*t!

They broke my watch!

I'm gonna catch that sucker...

if it's the last thing

I ever do.

Nice place, huh?

Hey, Sam.

Hey, Lloyd.

- No. No calls.

Some guy left his card.

Cop. Said he'd be back.

This here's my brother,Jake.

He just got out of the joint.

He's gonna be staying with me

for a few weeks.
