Sure. Mafia guy.

Blew up on a boat.

Uh-uh.

You're sitting next to

Frankie luchino.

You're gonna die

next to royalty.

You know how many guys I iced ?

Nobody could get me.

I spent thousands of

bucks on plastic surgery,

years establishing a new I.D.

I outsmarted

the f***ing FBI...

And it's gonna end

like this. Geez !

I'm gonna croak on a plane

next to a f***ing actor.

Well, I'll see you

in hell, kid.

We're still minus 30.

Stewardess, could

I get another seat ?

Air speed's

coming back.

Air speed,

holding steady.

Thank you, God.

Ladies and gentlemen,

this is the captain.

We just encountered some

very severe turbulence.

Everything's okay and we

should be on the ground

in just under one minute.

Sh*t !

[ Gasp ]

For crying out loud !

I got him,

I got him !

Hey !

What the --

I want to report

an attempt on my life.

Mm-hmm.

Have a seat.

Be with you in a second.

This is kinda important.

Where am I supposed

to sit ?

Nice try, pal.

I came to report a crime.

So does everybody

who comes in.

I didn't do anything.

I know.

Hello ?

This is ridiculous.

I came here

to report a crime.

I'm reporting a crime too.

Stand here, face forward

and shut up.

That's him !

Number four, that's him.

Number four.

Wait a second. Me ?

You're kidding.

Look, I'm a victim,

not a perpetrator.

That's the man

who flashed me.

What ?

I was a boy scout.

Guys, just chill out.

Or maybe...

Number one. Huh ?

Sorry about that. I was

wondering where you went.

Things like that

happen all the time.

No sh*t ! So what are you

gonna do about this mob guy

who's trying to kill me ?

You're gonna have

to talk to the FBI.

Have a nice day.

Thanks, man.

Thanks for nothing.

Sh*t, I'm glad

I don't pay no taxes.

How'd you like

to find this

waitin' at home

for you every night

only been used

once or twice

but it's still

good and tight

but if I can't

sell it

I'm going to remain

seated on it

Martha, you seen Duane ?

I don't see the need

to give it away

you're questioning

my sincerity ?

Yes.

What do I have to do

to prove...

Aaah !

Oh, God ! You're insane.

I'll cut the whole

hand off, but I

gotta have you tonight.

We just met

ten minutes ago !

- I gotta talk to you.

- Not now, Miles.

- This is serious.

- Karen, your phone number ?

The thing is plastic.

He does this all the time.

Wait a minute,

he's right !

Karen, I think

I can explain.

Sorry, man, I had to do it.

I'm in big, f***ing trouble.

You're goddamn right

you're in trouble.

I met this guy

on the plane.

We were sitting next

to each other when

we had this emergency.

Everybody was flipping out
