| 2:17.5 | Besides, and you don't want to be found at the wheel. How did you guess? Augie, didn't you learn anything in prison? Yeah, I learned crime does not pay, besides which it is against the law. Well, I'm glad to hear it. Didn't you know? I mean, I'm glad to find out you know. Oh, sure, Mr. Templar. I learned my lesson. I'm off crime for keep. But then this car. Ain't it a butte? And the keys was in it. With a setup like that, it'd be a crime not to take it. And like I said... Yes, you're off crime for keeps. Yeah. Now let's go, shall we? Start her up. Oh, but Augie... Do like I tell you. Oh, certainly, Augie. That's right. Now, put her into first. Oh, Augie, why didn't you swipe a car with automatic drive while you're at it? I just wasn't thinking. Augie, uh, why the gun? So you'll do like I tell you. Oh. That's how come you're driving. I want to keep my eye on you. The eye, I don't mind. It's the gun, I resent. Put it away, and I'll be grateful as long as I live. Trouble is, you ain't going to live very long. Oh, so that's how we stand. Yeah. I'm sorry, Mr. Templar, but what can I do? The job's a job. Chuck, job, you know the saying. All work and no play. Well, I'll play after I knock off. You mean after you knock me off? That's right. But, Augie, you know, if you kill me, you'll hate yourself in the morning. Yeah, I know. But if I don't, I'll hate myself tonight. It's a cash deal. And if I top whatever you're getting? No dice. I got my reputation to think of. Oh, pardon me for being crude. Oh, that's all right, Mr. Templar. Well, as long as you're determined to get rid of me, at least tell me who's giving the orders. Oh, sorry. That's confidential. Oh, I won't breathe it to a living soul, believe me. Huh? Oh, I guess you won't at that. So there's no harm. I guess you're right, under the circumstances. Well, then? It's a guy named a Ronald Stanton. Ronald Stanton. Who's he? In my business, you don't ask questions. All right, a guy named Ronald Stanton. But what's he got against me? Look, in my business... Ah, yes, but in my business you do. Oh. Well, all I know, Stanton calls me in, gives me the assignment, gives me a down payment, and I get the rest on delivery. Of my course. Right. Well, it's nice work if you can get it. Yeah, I'm sorry about this, Mr. Templer. But times are tough. Mm-hmm. You've got to take what comes along. Mm-hmm. Opportunity only knocks once. Mm-hmm. The guy's got to live. My sentiments, exactly. Hey, wait a minute. What are you doing? I'm just stepping on the gas. |
| 4:31.5 | Slow down. |
| 4:32.4 | I said slow down and I'll plug you. I think we can find a coffin built for two. Look out of that car! It's close. What are you trying to do? Scare me? It's a thought. If you don't stop... Yes? If you don't stop... You said that before. |
