The Running Man Page #5

Flights to Anaconda, Chile, are delayed several hours.

All Mideast flights are canceled until further notice.

You'll never pull this off, you know.

You are unarmed, outnumbered.

Face it, you're screwed.

So why don't you just forget about all this and

turn yourself in?

You know...

you have a very negative attitude.

Now remember, I can break your neck like a chicken's.

Travel pass.

What a beautiful day today.

I can practically taste those piña coladas already.

- Right, sweetheart?

- Hm?

- Miss?

- Huh?

You didn't put it in your purse again, did you?

Last vacation she put my credit cards in there, and

we couldn't find them for a week.

- Hm, here. Could you hold this, please?

- You want to move it up there?

We got a plane to catch.

Go on! Go on!

You can't live with them...

and you can't live without them.

- This is ridiculous!

I'm warning you, I get sick...

air sick, car sick.

I'm gonna throw up all over you.

Go ahead. It won't show on this shirt.

Help! He's Ben Richards!

He's trying to kidnap me! Help!

Positive ID. Benjamin A. Richards.

Priority-one fugitive. Repeat, all units, terminal seven.

All right. We're on him. Close in! Close in!

Go! Go! Go! Move!

You move and you're dead!

Hi, cutie pie.

You know, one of us is in deep trouble.

You know who I am?

I've seen you before.

You're the a**hole on TV.

That's funny. I was gonna say the same thing about you.

I saw the video of your prison break. Sensational.

Ben, I think we might be able to help each other out.

I've got the brains, and you've got talent.

And you've got more. You've got talent...

you've got charisma, and you've got balls.

That's why I pulled a few strings to get you here.

And that's why...

I'd like you to volunteer to appear...

on tomorrow's broadcast of The Running Man.

F*** you.

You're a brilliant conversationalist, man. A trifle

limited, but brilliant.

Take a look.

– How long are they gonna keep us here?

Now isn't that your old schoolteacher buddy there? Huh?

And there's your other buddy, the one who helped

you in the prison infirmary.

Weiss. Laughlin. What are you gonna do with them?

Well, that's really up to you, Ben.

You see, I created The Running Man, but I don't

make the rules.

I got a contract with the government.

They send me the convicts, I put them on the

show. Well, you've seen it, right?

And you know at least you've got a chance.

But your buddies, Ben...

get the B list.

So if you don't do The Running Man tomorrow...

Weiss and Laughlin...

are gonna go on...

in your place.

What do you say?

Let's see how far this clown runs when we're

done with him.

Starting barium IV.

That's a go.

Reading all systems down the line.
