a # "The Train Is Coming" ` Shaggy # I said the train is coming, baby. The train is coming now. The train is coming, baby. The train is coming now. # So long I've been waiting, # waiting for you. # Oh Lord. # Now, the time is come. # When it's between you and me. # Oh Lord. # Because the train is coming, baby. # I said the train is coming now. Now, now, now I said the train is coming, baby. # And I am leaving on that train. # Lord... # The train is coming, baby. # The train is coming now. # The train is coming, baby. # The train is coming now. # So long I've been waiting, # waiting for you. # Oh Lord. # Now, the time is come. # And I want you to stand by me. # Because the train is coming, baby. # I said the train is coming now, now, now. # I said the train is coming, baby. # And we are leaving On that train... # (CAR HORNS) Merry Christmas! (DRUNKENLY SINGS CAROL) Watch it! Happy Christmas! # Lord, I want to be in that number. # Yeah, I thank you very much I thank you very much. I thank you very much, siree. # # We wish you a Merry Christmas... # Check this dude. Look like a Five-O. He ain't Five-O. Check my back. You a cop, bro? Huh? (BELCHES) Let's go. He ain't no Five-O. OK, he's checking out the D. He's checking out the D. We have two Hispanic males. Wait to see if they're in the game. This shit looks familiar, man. He's got his slice. Stay alert. I've been looking all over for that ring. He's wearing my watch! Nobody go till he pulls his lapel. Oh shit! Bingo! Bingo! Shit! Stay! No lying down on the job! Glad my pain amuses you. TA! TA! Wait, slow down. You got cops down there? Right. Understood. Six Line. Wall Street Station. I want all trains north and south of there to stop and stay. (BUZZER) Doesn't he sleep? During the day. In a coffin. Kowalski? You're stopping trains. Why? Police action. Decoy cops in the tunnel. Where is the Revenue Train? Held at Wall Street. Send it through. We got cops on the tracks. Send it through. Nothing stops the money train. (SIREN) The money train! I got a plan! Not now! Here's the cash. Sold a lot of tokens? TA! Watch it, guys! Freeze! Stop! Freeze! I don't believe this shit! Cops! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Oh, Jesus! Oh, man, look who it is. It's the Transit Twins. Did you have to? Huh?! It's a kid. Oh damn! We got orders to drop anybody... He look like a train robber? Don't hang the blame on us! What did you say? No, you're not gonna hit him. I'm gonna hit him! "Those detectives from Decoy are here." Sit down. And don't bleed on my chair. No, sir. Chief Patterson. That report says you're brothers. You, sir, are a negro. He is white. Are you jacking me off? Are you jacking me off? No, sir. We're foster brothers. I ran away from this orphanage... A touching story. Shut up! Shut up!! Today, you caused my money train to arrive 46 minutes late. When my train is late, I take it as a personal sign of disrespect. The revenue collection for the subway is in my direct command. My train. My people. My money. No one may dictate the movements of that train without my permission. Am I making myself clear? As a bell, sir. Your train, your people, your money. (CHUCKLES) Shut up! Yes, sir. Now, are there any questions? Why did you send the train in when you knew we were in there? Your situation didn't move me one way or another. Anything else? Your men shot the kid to shit. They shot him to shit! That's what they did! You can't buy that publicity! I don't like you. You will lose. You're dismissed. I hate bastards like that. There's no price you can put on a human life. He worries about his schedule. You know what I'd like to do? Maim him? Shoot him? I'd like to take his train. Take the pacifier out of the baby's mouth. You say the word, I'm there. Word. Word. Let's do it. If I didn't have a badge... If I didn't have a badge... We're cops, not nuns. We're not taking the train. We're not taking the train. Too late. (BOTH LAUGH) I miss the old neighbourhood. Why not come back more often? Why not come back more often? Not enough action. Maybe when I retire. You coming in? You coming in? No, I got a date. A date? With a girl? What do you think? Or a deck of cards. You think I'm gambling? You got that look in your eye. I can see aces jumping up and down. I can see you got a suspicious mind. I know you. I know you. You got any cash on you? What for? What for? If you must know, I'm buying you a Christmas present. Buy me a present with my money? So don't be stingy. You know, you never cease to amaze me. You don't have to count it. I trust you. I'm out. You gonna buy me a present? I love you. I love you. If you do, let me keep my money. Where's you Christmas spirit? Where's you Christmas spirit? In your pocket! None of them ties or cologne or stuff like that. Mm. No. Remember where you're at. Better change that walk. There you go. Yeah! You all right, man? Thousand. Thousand. I'm in. See the grand. And kick it a grand. I'm out. I think I'll have to kick it to five thousand. Too rich for me. Charlie? You gonna eat or play cards? (CHUCKLES) Sorry, guys. I'm making a mess. Call you. Call you. With what? You're light. Gentlemen, say hello to, uh... Oyster mother-of-pearl. (YELLS) Let me get you a parachute. (YELLS) Your brother better get here or he is an only child. (BIKE HORN) (CHARLIE YELLS) Nobody move! John, is that you, my brother?! John, thank God you're here. What the hell is going on here? A man's word is no good around here. You brought the money? 300 bucks. He owes $15,000. $15,000?! John, this is no time to be cheap. You know what? Drop him. No! He's kidding! The hell I am! They don't have a sense of humour. I'm tired of this shit. You're the man. No, no! Argh! OK, OK, OK! What do you say we make a deal? Here's 300 bucks for you now. The rest in a few days. I'll pay you. I swear to God! OK. Reel him in. Oh, thank you, thank you! You're OK. I was kidding about the sense of humour. Thanks, man. I thought they were going to prove I couldn't fly. You said you'd stop this shit. I was. I had a sweetheart of a hand. There's no way I could lose. One day, I won't be there to save your ass. Think I couldn't have gotten away? If I hadn't saved you, you would've been a chalk outline. I've changed at a basic cellular level. I was up there, 51 storeys, and I mean imminent death. I'm terrified, and suddenly, Buddha consciousness. I've read about it in books. God spoke to me and she said, "You must stop." I swear I'm quitting. I'll bet $10 you can't do it. Make it $20. My point exactly! Motherfucker, you better stop with that wheat grass bullshit. Dogs pee on that grass. That's good for you too! 1 Hey, let's see that drunk walk again. You got it. Charlie, John, say hello to Grace Santiago. She's working with us. Hi, how you doing? Nice to meet you. How you doing? Welcome aboard. Thanks. She is smoking. This job is looking up! All quiet by the D. Clear by the D. # Oh, come all ye faithful... # OK, hold on, we got a Christmas shopper. Male, nineteen, with his girlfriend. Dressed all black. He's definitely interested. His girlfriend's trying to talk him out of it. She's dragging him away. You do much decoy? You do much decoy? Six months in outer boroughs. I liked it. But this transfer's a lucky break. They say you guys are the best. Well, modesty prevents me from... No, it doesn't. We are the best. See the way he's swaying? Like he wants to take a whiz but he forgot how. He got that from me. He got that from me. (CHUCKLES) Where you from? Where you from? The Bronx. What, uh...? You living by yourself? Yeah. Shouldn't you watch the D? Shouldn't you watch the D? Yeah. Hey, whoa, we got something going on here. They don't usually look this good. And look at those big hands! (SNORES) Let's take him home. Come on. I'm into it, baby. Hey, honey. Honey, we're gonna take you home. Don't you wanna come home with us? You are fine looking. Oh, no, don't fight us. Come on, baby, come on. We'll give you some loving. We'll chew you up. We'll chew you up. We won't spit you out. Come on, come with us. (CHUCKLES) He's tugging at his collar for dear life. Hey! Hey! Get your hands off my man. Are you bitches crazy?! You wanna get hurt? Excuse me! We didn't know! I'm sorry. Get the hell out of here! Run! (BOTH ARGUE) Turn my back for one minute and you dog on me? They were huge! Oh, she's beautiful. You wait right there and don't let me see you talking. What are you looking at? I could kick your ass. Alone at last. May I help you? I was hoping we could help each other. I was hoping we could help each other. What do you want? I want to ask you a question. Know what it's like to smell burning flesh? Hand out the cash, bitch. Or I'll light you up. I gave you the money! I'm not in it for the money. Oh, my God, it's a torch. Call EMS! We got a fire in a booth! (SIREN) I'll take the street! (SCREAMS) Get down! Get down! Sick bastard! Police! Freeze! Police! Freeze! Get off me! You're OK! It's all right! It's OK! Hey. Hey, man. John, Merry Christmas. What are you drinking? I'll have the usual. Jack, straight up. No, no, better yet. Give me two Jacks and two beers, too. OK, now, this right here is a little hard. I think you should drink it with... a beer. Because you obviously have been there before. That's with me, Johnny. You know, you took a pretty hard one today. Too bad that bastard got away. Yeah, well, it was his lucky day. That won't be happening twice. Don't beat yourself up about it. The EMS people said that the token clerk will be fine. That's good to hear. I'm glad to hear that. Absolutely. You know, I wanted to tell you that this job can be hazardous if you take it too seriously. I don't know no other way. Me, neither. I mean, it does take a special kind of person to do this job. Someone with dedication. Perseverance. Stamina. Stamina. Strength. Courage. Courage. Cojones. Complete and utter stupidity. It's a curse. It's a curse. We're doomed! Oh, yes! Welcome to the team. Thanks. And how are my two favourite people? We were fine. He's a kidder. I looked long and hard and I found you something for your first day. It's special. The alcohol preserves it. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say. That he's under arrest. He probably stole it. Why don't you grab us a couple of cervezas. You expect Grace to pay on her first night? You know I have a cash flow problem. You mean, you're broke! Right, right. Means you ain't gotta dime to your name. Lovely flower! Great guy, huh? Too bad he's gay. How are you doing? How you doing, man? Let me ask you a question. How does it feel to be brothers to a white guy? I told you that story already. I was taking out the garbage and I heard a noise. You found him? You didn't feed him, did you? You can't get rid of them if you do. Right? I got something I got to do. Stay black. Stay black. I ain't got no choice. Come on! The night is young! I gotta go. The night's a puppy. Oh! # Amazing Grace # How sweet the sound... # I'm in love, man, I'm in love. You don't got a shot. You better ease back. I am deeply in love, I think. She is nice. She is nice. Nice. I'd introduce her to Ma Di if she were still alive. I'd bear her children, given the chance. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah? Yeah. You know what they say. May the best man win. Don't worry, I intend to. Click your heels three times and come back to Kansas. You ain't got a chance. In fact, she didn't even keep the rose. (LAUGHS) Don't worry. You can get another one. I wouldn't go down that road with you. Typical of your insensitivity. Like pissing on a nice car. You always got to be the coolest. You must be the most on top of it. You ain't kidding. You're always that way. You have to get that girl. Ma Di gave you everything, you expect everything. Ma Di treated us the same. She treated me great. She took me in, she fed me, loved me, but she loved you better. Yo, Charlie, Charlie, look. We got the same things, all right? It's called sharing. I wear your coat, you wear my shoes. I wear your shoes. I'm always in your shoes. In your footsteps. I'm always Hook's little brother. Wait a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa! We talking about shoes or are we talking about Grace? My ceiling is always your floor. I don't need this! You called me a fuck up. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? Nothing between us but air. I don't care. Make a move. Yo! Give me your wallets, rings and watches! Wallets first! Rings and watches. Give it up, man. You deaf? I'm talking to you, Casper-ass! You heard the man. Oh, man... Damn, shit! Chill out, white boy. You know? Look at the shit you got us in. You blame this shit on me? It's definitely your fault. Who was watching the street? Who was watching the street? I can't believe this. I'm so sick of your shit. This one is your fault. I don't care. Just give it up. I didn't call you a fuck up. Fuck you! Who the fuck you talking to, fuck you? I'm robbing you. Give up your shit. I'll get the shoes. Don't worry. Hello! Hello! I'll shoot you in your good eye. I'll fill you so full of holes... What's wrong with y'all? What's wrong with y'all? Let's go. These guys are crazy. Ice Cube! Ice Cube record! Let's go! They fucking sick! (BOTH CHUCKLE) You weren't gonna shoot me? Hell, no. Would you shoot me? You had that Alabama look in your eye. You're lucky I didn't have a fire hose. You really think this girl could make a difference? Yeah, you know, I do. Hey, man, go for it. Yeah? Yeah, man, I'm out of it. You serious? Look, I hope she makes you happy. Hey, Merry Christmas, man. Merry Christmas to you, too, man. 1 We gotta take up back up on during the holiday period. But we don't have to like who they send. Stay out of our way. I'm sorry, but we didn't ask for this assignment. Don't act like we're thieves. I guess they're pissed off cos we beat their buddies on the day shift. Hey! Hey! Everybody chill. We're here to help you out today, Dooley. A bit too much testosterone on here, right? Lighten up. Back to your stations. We got a schedule to keep. Yo, Dooley, you guys taking in a lot of money tonight? Three, maybe four million. Damn! That's money. A lot of money. Stop drooling. We can take a few mental notes. Check out the grate. Look alive. Something ahead. No problem. Just workers in the tunnel. Hey, hotshot, you're standing in my spot. Hey, don't be poking me with that. Shut up! What are you gonna do? Shove it up your ass. Get the fuck out of here. You're not gonna hit him. I'm gonna hit him! My God, that was beautiful! Is she your wife? No, sir. Girlfriend? No, sir. Ah! Perhaps your sister. That would make sense. A white brother and a black brother and a Latino sister. Officer Grace Santiago. I've been assigned to Unit One. You boys are lucky. How did you get so lucky? Are they lucky, Officer Santiago? I don't know what you mean, sir. Having you as a partner. Are they lucky? I'll try my best to be part of a team. I'm sure you will. You're dismissed. This doesn't concern you, Officer Santiago. You boys, you don't listen. This time, you may have your nuts in a wringer. Last time you messed with my train, it was late. This time, it was light. Light? Sit down. In the darkness and confusion, somebody made off with 25,000 of my dollars. Now, how could that happen? No, sir. Why ask us? You're a bad gambler, Sunny Jim. You're in debt up to your eyeballs. But you're good at losing money. You figure out how I lost mine. You think we had something to do with it? You think we had something to do with it? Did I say that? I didn't say that. All I said was bad things seem to happen around you two and some money got lost. I think you can help me find it. How so? How so? You look for it. I got a hunch. If you dig down on that commode you call a soul, you'll come up with something. Sir...? Sir...? I'm not to be disturbed. Get out of here. You're dismissed. Dismissed? Dismissed? Dismissed! You know, one second you call us crooks, the next, we're dismissed. The money was found. A collection agent made a full confession. You're dismissed. By the way. What happened to that money train model? I was thinking about that. I didn't see it. Heartbroken. Just poof! Gone. The manpower that went into that. You're right on the edge. A wreck waiting to happen. I'll be there. And I'll fuck you dead. Fuck us before or after we're dead? When we're dead, he wants to fuck us. Either way, it's a pain in the ass. Either way, it's a pain in the ass. Man, fuck that. Fuck him. Thinking I stole it. That's insulting. Look, I'll tell you, I thought you stole it, too. You did? OK. You're family. You have a right to insult me. But as for that son of a bitch... Hey. What? What's on the other side of the pond? Woolman Rink. Repair guys came up a ladder, into the park. Repair guys came up a ladder, into the park. What? Right over there? Oohh... That's what I'm saying. Stop the train by the rink, then use the ladder to climb up and pow! Take away the cash. Disappear into the park. Never work. Never work. It'll work, it'll work! Charlie... How much do you think we can get? Three, four million at least. Three, four million at least. Man, man, man. We could be rich. Rich, man. We'd be free. It's about time for our people. Say it loud! I'm black and I'm proud. We're talking lifestyles of the rich and famous. You know? We could be taking cruise ships, you know? Island to island. We'd be rich. We'd be rich. Richer than that. Now you're talking. Something like Maui. Bali. Tahiti. Bali. Tahiti. Any of the "i" islands. We wouldn't have to put up with no crap from the necrophiliac prick in a suit, Patterson. We don't deserve that. Let's do it, man. Let's do it. I'm with it. Here's what I'm saying. Talk to me, now, talk to me. Best time to pull this off is New Year's Eve. New Year's Day, they have a rate hike. It'll be loaded with currency. It'll just be fat. Where did you learn that word at? "MTV Raps." I'm trying to keep up with my heritage. What do you think? (CHUCKLES) That's funny! Look, Charlie, come back to Earth. Just calm down. Come on back to Earth. Come on back to Earth. What are you talking about? We're not going to rob the money train. Why not? Why not? Because we're cops. "Serve, protect, break a mother's neck." We're gonna do this. Sshh! Sshh! Ah! It would be no problem. I'm telling you. It's easy. No, no. Sshh! Ah! I get... I get... Sshh! Sshh! Put that away before someone thinks we got it for Christmas. A double if... A double if... Sshh! Ah! (LATINO MUSIC) Don't let me interrupt. I had to come outside for some air. Uh-huh, yeah. I see you're getting down, yeah? Salsa, yeah. I love this. I grew up with this stuff. I grew up with this. I'm from the Bronx. Let's see what you got. Very surprised. E Street. E Street. Here, do this. See? See that there? See? See that there? You're teaching me. You gotta learn from somebody. Let's see what you got, now. Might throw a spin on you. Little rough for a first time. If we do more, get some practice in. We were dancing. We were dancing. That was nice. What? Slow music, no, no, no. No, no, no. I don't dance to slow music. You don't dance to slow music? How would it look if I just step up to you like that and pull you close and start dancing with you all close like that? That could work. I got a confession to make. Yeah? What's that? This is the first time I've ever danced with a cop. Yeah? Me, too. Hey! Hey! I hope that's your gun! Whatever it is, it's poking me, too. Maybe it's my gun. Put your stuff to the back. Put your stuff to the back. Hoh-hoh! Oh, wow! Oh, boy. I think I should go in. Yeah. Yeah. We don't want people to start talking. We don't want that. We don't want that. You know how the precinct is. You go ahead. Grace... Me gusto bailando contigo. Gracias. I enjoyed it, too. 1 You gotta get up, you gotta get up in the morning! You gotta get up...! Shouldn't tell where I hide my keys. Come on, up! Get up! Time to play! (COCKS GUN) Hoh! Say no more, man. It's hot in here. Could it be hotter in here? Don't touch the window. Don't touch the window. Don't touch the window. Fresh air. It's cold outside. Where do you think you're at? The Alps? Best thing for your lungs. You smell like you haven't been home to wash. That's because I haven't. No, I've been out. Grace? I've been out with Grace all night and I'm feeling good. Woo! All night? All night. And I feel all right! You tried your world-class, cheap-ass moves on her? Gentleman never tells. What? Gentleman never tells. Since you're in no danger of becoming one you could tell me. How did it go? All right, we... Nah, I ain't gonna say. Did you kiss her? (SNORES) You kissed her, didn't you? Shouldn't you be home in bed? Shouldn't you be home in bed? Too much energy. Thought I'd come here and burn it off. Yeah, well, thought you worked out last night. I still got something left. What? Want to go at it? What? Boxing? Yeah. Let's go a few rounds. And don't hold back. You sure you want to do this? You're sneaky, huh? Hey, now, wait. Get out of here! Get out of here! I ain't going nowhere. Oh, OK. All right, good. So, you wanna talk about last night? You talking about you and Charlie? You talking about you and Charlie? No. You and me and the reason you backed off. You gonna box or talk? It's Charlie, isn't it? It's Charlie! Yes! It's Charlie. The guy's crazy about you. This has got to be a first. A guy cares more about his brother than he does about himself. Well, he is my brother. Yes, I care about him. I ain't no saint or nothing like that. There are times when I want to kill the guy. I heard he's a fuck up. A fuck up! Oh, man, I'm sorry. Oh, man, I'm sorry. I'm OK. I was out of line, anyway. No, no, no. Can't you understand I have to look after my brother? I understand you and your brother. But what's going on between you and me. You and me. Yeah. You... and your feelings about me. Well, I decked you, didn't I? I feel the same way about you. You know, this could get painful. Hey, love hurts. 1 All right, adios. Yo, hold up. I wanna talk to you. Hey, come here, man. Something I want to give to you. Your conscience got to you. You got me a present? What is this? 15 grand? I've been saving it for a rainy day and it's raining. I can't take this. Charlie. Charles, go ahead. Take it and handle your affairs. Pay Mr Brown. You're always there for me, Hook. You'd be there for me, so... You wouldn't get yourself in a mess like this. I'll pay you back with interest. Yeah, I know you will. I love you, man. Handle it. I'll take care of it right now. Put this away. You never know. Tomorrow night, if you're not busy, meet me at the Wha. I want to talk to you. You got it. You never cease to amaze me. Best New Year's ever. Or something. Whoa, you all right? Yes, I'm fine, I'm fine. Easy does it. Whoa! This is 33rd Street Station. This is 33rd Street Station. Hey, what are you doing? Get off me. Settle down. Thank you. This look familiar? God, that's my wallet. Don't be embarrassed. This happens all the time. The best place to keep them is here... No! Open the door...! (KNOCK ON DOOR) Hi. Hi. Hi. Round two. You won't believe this, but I had Mr Brown's money. Then some old lady dipped me on the train. Kick his fucking ass! # I don't want to talk about it # Doing a fine thing # Don't want to spend more money # I would scratch out all the images # If I had the chance # Don't ask me what I'm thinking # Can't you see I only want to # Dance without sleeping Dance without fever # Dance without senses No message I hear # Dance without sleeping # I'll dance till I'm numb Dance till I think # I can o-o-o-vercome... # Charlie! At least let me explain, man. There's nothing to explain. I knew what was going on the whole time. You're lying. You're lying. If I'm lying, I'm flying. I'm happy for you. I really am. Why wouldn't I be? We're brothers, right? Brothers. Did you pay Mr Brown? No, actually... I lost the money. But what else is new, right? Damn, Charlie. 1 Can you give me two tokens, please? What are the chances of the robbers hitting my booth? The report says that there's only one guy. Riley says that he only goes for female clerks. So... act female. Powder my nose? Paint my toenails? Hey. Hey. Skip said you would be a little late. Yeah. You all right? Yeah, I'm fine. You know, I was reading that book you lent me. "The Kabbalian." It says that the universe is the mental creation of the all. You're drunk? No, I'm not drunk. I'm not. Your breath is 90-proof. Your breath is 90-proof. From last night. I didn't brush today. Charlie, I don't want to hear it. Do yourself a favour. Go home and get some rest. You got nerve coming in like this. Let me explain about the money, OK? What is it this time? The horses? The cards? I was on the train and this old lady dipped me. Don't lie to me. What is this? Have I lied to you? About little things, not big. About little things, not big. A lie is a lie is a lie. It's important that you believe me. Say one more word, I swear I'll... What? Hit me? (SCREAMS) What was that? Can you see what's going on? "Someone fell on the plat." "Someone fell on the plat." Jesus! "Hold your position. Someone fell on the tracks." Keep you eye on Grace. Don't look at me like that. I can handle it. Who's handling Dispatch? Who's handling Dispatch? I don't know! What the fuck...? What the fuck...? Remember me? Sure you do. That's my scent you're wearing. Give me a hand. Shine that light. What do you want? The money? No, baby. I don't want the money. 10-13! Grace in trouble! Freeze! Move! Move! Police! Move! Move! Police! Out of the way! Come on! Move! Freeze! Charlie, no! (GUNSHOT) Oh, shit! You OK? Move! Get out of the way! Move, move! Police! See what happens when you play with fire? You get burned. (UPBEAT MUSIC) (CHEERING AND LAUGHTER) SONG: # Oh, oh, hey! # Oh, oh, hey! (RATTLING) # Oh, oh, hey! # Oh, oh, hey! # VOICEOVER: Tic Tac. Refresh every little moment. (CHUCKLES) Perfect. I must say, you created quite a shit storm. You could have blown away a half a dozen people with your reckless shit. Now, I don't know if I can make you look like a hero, but I can help. Don't worry, kid, we'll get you out of this one. All you gotta do... is ask for my help. It's your badge. It's your life. It's your call. What do you say? Hm? No. From there. What's the matter? Why aren't you laughing? Don't you think I'm funny? Now, say it. You want to hear the words? You want to hear the words? I want to hear the words. Kiss my fucking ass. You kiss it goodbye. Because you're busted. Fired! Charlie, get up. Everyone calm down. We can work this out. Nothing to work out with this shit. Nothing to work out with this shit. Nothing to work out. Your brother ain't a cop no more. ain't a cop no more. Let me talk to him. Why defend him? He ain't worth it. Your brother ain't nothing but a fuck up. A what?! A what?! A fuck up! You come here, I'll bust your ass! Take a bite! You'll be licking your asshole to get rid of the taste! You son of a bitch! You son of a bitch! You're busted. When your brother calms down, have him take his badge off. It belongs to me. And so does your ass. I'll send an officer to pick up my hardware. You come and get this shit yourself. It's right here. Come and get it yourself. This is between you and me, not you and him! Who the fuck does he think he is? Fuck him. He'll regret this day. Fuck him. He'll regret this day. No, fuck you, Charlie. Fuck me? Fuck me? Yeah. Fuck you! I didn't ask you to step in. I tried to stop you. It'll work out. Don't worry. No, no, it won't work out this time. Not this time. Don't turn your back on me, bro. Don't turn your back on me, bro. We're not brothers. We don't think alike. We don't look alike. I carry you on my back. I wipe your nose, clean your mess. I have to give up my career for you? No! You can get the fuck out of my life. Frank, do you happen to know why blind people don't skydive? No. Why? It scares the shit out of their dogs. It scares the... shit out of... Well, you're a touch crowd, Frank. Another Jaegermeister. Pronto. You've had enough, Charlie. Water's cut off. Jesus Christ! What's your problem? You're interfering with me at the embryo stage of a bender. Other than that, I got no problems. I'm deliriously happy. I got nothing to worry about. I got no job, no brother, no girlfriend, no future. I got nothing to lose. For the first time, I'm free! God bless us all, Tiny Tim (!) You're over the top. Listen to me. Don't do anything stupid. Where's the fun in that? Shit! I just remembered. I have to urinate. I'll pick this up later. Oh, shit! I don't have the money, all right. If you want to kill me, kill me. Right now, it would be a relief. I hate to hear that kind of fatalism, Charlie. Poses a very interesting problem for me. We can't keep doing this. It has no effect on you. What I do in these cases, and I'm being forced here, I threaten the life of someone you love. A wife. A child. A brother. You son of a bitch! Merry Christmas, Charlie. January 1st... or your nigger brother's dead. (KNOCK ON DOOR) What are you doing here? I gotta talk about Charlie. He's in a lot of trouble. 1 Gentlemen, let's keep the fires hot. I want to talk to Mr Brown. He's not here! Upstairs! Get out of here! Oh, man! Oh, you missed. Yo! You got a disgruntled employee. What the fuck? Who the hell are you coming in here like that?! I'll kill him myself! You got big balls?! I'll cut them off! What are you doing?! You're a bunch of pussies! You know, we are not getting along. Come on, you want some of me?! Fuck it! Are you stupid?! Stupid?! I told you. You'll get your money. But if anything happens to my brother... You understand me?! Yeah. Oh, yeah. Who you calling a nigger? Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you, too. Johnny? John? Charlie left this for you. It took you long enough. It took you long enough. Sorry I'm late. What is this dress you got on here? No, no, no. Turn around. What, this old rag? What, this old rag? You just pulled it out from the closet? Got a permit for this dress? Got a permit for this dress? You're in a good mood. I did my last favour for Charlie. I'm a free man. "The islands call." What's that? "The islands call." What's that? Something Charlie sent. Open it. Damn it. He's going to do it. He's gonna rob the money train. Say again? Say again? Charlie's gonna rob the money train. I'm not going in with him. If Patterson catches him, he'll kill him. You're not gonna do anything. Give me one reason. Give me one reason. Charlie is going down and you are the only family that's he's got. (BIKE HORN) How you doing? Open up. (MOUSE SQUEAKS) Jesus Christ! (PEOPLE SHOUT / CHEER) Sshh! Come on, move! (GUNSHOTS) Yes! The money train's been stolen. What? What? The money train's been stolen. (BIKE HORN) Police! Get out of the way! Come on! Move! Shit! Move out of the way! Come on, move! Police! Move! Move! Give me your attention! We have a situation which will be resolved immediately. These are fools who have survived thus far on luck. Their luck ran out. Let's get them. And remember - the money train has not been stolen. It is in our tunnel, in our control, and soon, will be in our hands. (VOICES) Shit! Fuck!! Fuck!! Goddam! You scared the shit out of me, man! How did you find me? You told me the plan, remember? That was Plan A. We're onto Plan B. We'll have to figure it out. This is Plan B. We get off the train undetected and without the money. I ain't down with that. I ain't down with that. Then, we got a problem. Yes, we do. (POLICE VOICES) (POLICE VOICES) Oh, shit! Now's your chance to turn me in and get a medal. Get the train moving and us out of here. When this is over, remind me to knock you out. "Money train going south on A Line. Crossed 59th Street." "To the persons on board the money train. This is Donald Patterson." "Shut it down..." "Shut it down..." Don't do that! The robbery's going great! I'll still give you your cut, partner. Toodles! Listen, you sons of bitches. I don't know who you are "but I will get my hands on you, and rip a hole in your throat and eat your heart." I don't appreciate that tone of voice! Don't even look at me. Patterson is not stupid. He'll trip the brakes and the joyride will be over. Unless... we bleed the brakes. I knew you'd be good at this. They can't stop us. And we can't stop, either. It's bleed the brakes or we end up butt brothers in D Block. (BOTH) Bleed the brakes! Get me 42nd Street. Stand by for Chief Patterson. Stand by for Chief Patterson. The money train's coming. Shut her down. Trip her brakes. Reach in and tear her guts out! Come on, baby! It's got to work. Oh, yes! Yes! Great! Great! "Didn't stop, sir. I don't think it has any brakes." I want shooters on the Grand Street platform. Concentrate your fire on the cabin. There's a barricade at Grand. It can stop it. I want that barricade in place now! It's reinforced. They'll be killed. Yeah. "Money train, this is Patterson. I have an update." "At Grand Street Station, we have a reinforced steel barricade." I implore you, shut it down and turn yourself in... or die. He's bluffing, right? What do we do? We can't stop this thing! Go faster! Faster! Come on, let's go! Charlie... he wasn't bluffing! Oh, shit! Steady. Easy, now. Fire! "The money train went through the barricade." Yes! 1 It's a runaway train. I'll clear the track. What's the nearest train ahead? Coney Island. I'll side track her. And give them a clear track to hell and beyond? Raise me the motorman. "Command to 1220, come in, 1220." 1220 to Command. This is Donald Patterson. Bypass all stops. What's going on? Shut up and do your job. These trains are on the same track. When they hit, there'll be a derailment. There'll be no derailment. When they see the train, they'll shut down. And I'll be there. But sir, if it can't stop, people will die. That's what we live with. What are you doing? What? I'm getting paid. The money stays. Feel that. You know what that is? Freedom. I'm not leaving empty-handed. Charlie the Loser. I've heard it all my life. Today, it's Charlie the Winner. You think being a thief makes you a winner? Save this lecture until we're on the beach. There won't be any beach. This is no time to fuck with my fantasy! If you're in, fine. If not, get out of my face! You put me in your face! I won't let you ruin your life. What will you do to save my life? I think you want to get that foot of that bag. Don't try me! You trying me?! Listen to me! Just let it go! I'm taking the money, man! Damn! Gimme your hand! Grab me! I got you, man! Come on, John! You OK? Yeah. Are we straight? Yeah. We're straight. Let's shut this puppy down. Easier said than done, but I'm with you. It's you and me. What can stop us? (WOMEN SCREAM) Oh, my God! Oh, shit! Patterson didn't clear the tracks. We gotta slow down or derail! These people will die. We gotta do something. Son of a bitch won't move! 1220, maximum speed. The other train's too fast. It'll bump us off the track. We're dead! Dead! "Head to Fort Hamilton station. Immediately!" What happens if we go into reverse? Train has a heart attack and somersaults! But we live? No! They live, we die. So be it. Reverse and say goodbye. No surprises! No, no! We don't have time and neither have they. Jump, man! Where?! I'm in the middle of a tunnel! You jump! It's my fault! It's my fault, my fuck up! No, we stay together. What the hell are you doing?! You're going to pole-vault off this motherfucker?! Auto pilot! It hits and goes into reverse. What the hell are you doing? I don't know. Where's my train? How long? Two minutes out. If we get out of this... Argh! Don't let go! Front! Get to the front! Oh my God! (PEOPLE SCREAM) (SCREAMING / SHOUTING) Are they dead? There's nobody here! They're here! Whoever they are. You fuck with me and I'll find you! I'll find you! Shit! Is that Patterson? Get out of here! Get out of here! What are we gonna do? You took my train! I'll find you! Be cool. Patterson! We came as soon as we could. What a mess! If we can help... All you gotta do is ask. What are you doing here? You ain't cops no more. We want to help. We're trying to help. How's your cock working without a badge? What?! This is what I think of you, you fuck up! You spit in my face? Don't hit him! I will! No, we both hit him! Arrest those two bastards! For assault! No, Patterson! You're under arrest! You endangered the lives of innocent people! Whoa! Did you see that?! Arrest his ass! He tried to kill us! Who are you? Oh, you don't remember me? (MOCKS) Officer Santiago! (SHOUTING / CHEERING) (CROWD) Nine, eight, seven, six, five... four, three, two, one! (BOTH SCREAM ECSTATICALLY) We did it! We did it, man! Happy New Year, man! I love you, man. What's that? No, I put on some weight! You gonna tell me you're pregnant? You'll overreact on this. Jesus! Damn! I knew you'd overreact. Are you crazy? We risked our lives! Shh! Shh! Shh! (BOTH START ARGUING) # The train is coming, baby. The train is coming now.
