Brain Smasher... A Love Story (1993)

1. Yeah, Hot Tub?

2. Good, I'm glad you're home.

3. I got to tell you something.

4. This is real important. What do you mean?

5. I met that chick.

6. Yeah, I know you met that girl.

7. She's a great chick. Listen to me.

8. Listen to me...

9. All right, why is she great?

10. I don't know why.

11. She's got all her limbs, OK.

12. Listen, I've got to tell you this story.

13. What do you mean you've got to go?

14. All right, I got to...

15. I've got to tell you... Oh...

16. - Goodbye. - Johnny?

17. We're up.

18. - Hello? - Ed?

19. Mom?

20. Yeah, listen...

21. How did you get my number?

22. I'm at a phone booth in the middle of nowhere.

23. I need you to...

24. What do you mean you want me to move back?

25. Ma, look, I've got to tell you what happened to me last night.

26. Mom, listen to...

27. I'm not going to move back in the house.

28. I'm 32 years old.

29. I need my privacy. You know what I mean?

30. - Oh, great. - Ma, listen to...

31. Just great.

32. What do you got to get insulted... Ma?

33. Ma?

34. Hey, how you doing?

35. My name's Ed Molloy.

36. I'm known as the Brain Smasher.

37. You'll know why in a few minutes.

38. But you know what gets me?

39. Nobody listens anymore.

40. Nobody's got any sensitivity.

41. But you'll listen.

42. You're not going no where.

43. And let me tell you, I got an unbelievable story, you hear?

44. Here's the set up.

45. It started, of all places, in London, England.

46. There was this chick.

47. Absolutely fantastic.

48. Sam, give me a second.

49. Take an hour.

50. Her name is Samantha,

51. and she's one of those supermodels.

52. You know the type, with the big money, famous thing happening.

53. Oh, a book?

54. Amazing, isn't it?

55. I can actually read and wear a bathing suit at the same time.

56. Sometimes I even do math.

57. Sorry.

58. A beauty who reads.

59. Now there is a combo that I can marry.

60. Ugh.

61. As you can see, Samantha

62. wasn't the happiest chick in the world

63. when it came to relationships.

64. But hey, she hadn't met me yet.

65. Yeah.

66. What do you think he did this time?

67. Sam, wait.

68. This is for you.

69. Another present I wanted.

70. It's not from me.

71. - It's from your sister. - What did you do?

72. Schlep it all the way from Paris?

73. Yeah... big mistake.

74. I'll say.

75. You should have brought your heart instead.

76. Then you would have had to find it first, and...

77. Who else do you know that's going

78. to give you a $10,000 Rolex?

79. Hmm?

80. A Rolex is not love.

81. I'll mail it to you.

82. Keep it.

83. You know, you're going to regret this someday, Sam.

84. You're not going to look good in a bathing suit forever.

85. So Sam gets this package from her sister,

86. and that's what really sets the whole thing off.

87. Because the sister tells Sam to bring this package to Portland,

88. Oregon where she'll meet her.

89. What?

90. Now this is Portland, Oregon.

91. I live here.

92. This is where the rest of the story happens, and the set up.

93. Over here, Miss Crain.

94. I thought Halloween was last month.

95. These guys are Shaolin monks of the Red Lotus sect.

96. Our paths crossed...

97. What the hell did he say to you?

98. Tell your baby sister to shut up...

99. or I'll pull her tongue out the back of her head!

100. Talk about stressed.

101. What did he say?

102. Uh... he would appreciate it if you wouldn't talk anymore.

103. Why don't you just say so?

104. Hey!

105. What are you...

106. What is he...

107. She's not involved in this.

108. Tell your baby sister to reveal the whereabouts

109. of the Red Lotus to us now.

110. Wait a minute.

111. You speak English.

112. You know, you guys are in a lot of trouble.

113. This isn't China.

114. You can't...

115. Sam, where's the package I asked you to bring?

116. I forgot it.

117. She's a model.

118. Oh.

119. Yeah, just another airhead.

120. But if these freaks kill me, they'll never

121. find their little package.

122. Tell them that.

123. She's got a point.

124. I'm sorry I got you into this, Sam.

125. That's what you're always saying.

126. Give us the Red Lotus.

127. You made your point.

128. It's this way.

129. Come on.

130. These guys are crazy.

131. You want to see crazy?

132. You will pay for this, Miss Crain.

133. I will find you.

134. Come on, Sam.

135. You have no honor.

136. Would you get up?

137. Come on.

138. This way... over here.

139. Oh, yuck.

140. What the hell are you doing?

141. Oh, you send me a package from thousands

142. of miles away and then you ask me to rush it back to you.

143. I figure something's going on.

144. It always is with you.

145. What's with the ninjas?

146. I told you, they're Chinese monks.

147. - Ninjas are Japanese. - Details.

148. Come on.

149. Well, how was I supposed to know arm bruiser was going to follow

150. me all the way to Portland?

151. Arm bruiser?

152. What are you doing with those guys?

153. I can't let them get their hands

154. on the Red Lotus when our friend, Wu, said

155. ultimate power, he wasn't kidding.

156. I think we lost them.

157. No, you don't lose Red Lotus monks.

158. They're coming.

159. You just can't hear them.

160. Sure as hell can hear you in those things.

161. Lose them.

162. - These are $400 shoes. - Oh, details.

163. Look, go down this alley.

164. I'll meet up with you at St. Luke's Church.

165. Wait a minute. We're splitting up?

166. Look, this is what they're after.

167. They'll follow me.

168. I don't want to cause you any more trouble.

169. I'm not leaving you.

170. Mom and dad would kill me.

171. Oh, forget mom and dad.

172. Look, St. Luke's Church, tomorrow, noon.

173. Now, get out of here.

174. And lose those heels.

175. Oh, god.

176. That one has the Red Lotus.

177. She's smart and may elude us.

178. The younger one is a model. Capturing her will be easy.

179. Then we can trade her flesh to the flower.

180. OK.

181. Let's go!

182. Help!

183. I don't have it.

184. Leave me alone.

185. Help.

186. Hey!

187. Have a good time.

188. Wrong move, stupid.

189. Hey, why don't you guys come back tomorrow

190. when you sober up, huh?

191. Oh.

192. Now, that's why they call him the Brain Smasher.

193. Hey, Benny, call the cops.

194. We got four more.

195. Hey, hey, hey.

196. Cops are on their way.

197. - Here, here's your jacket. - Thanks.

198. Oh, I thought you said four?

199. You know me, I don't count too good.

200. Give me a light, will you?

201. Yeah, sure.

202. I'll tell you something though, some chick got by me.

203. Oh, what are you trying to say?

204. Some girl got by the Brain Smasher?

205. Oh, that could be in the paper.

206. Not for long.

207. Do me a favor... watch the line, huh?

208. - I got you. - Let's go.

209. Hold it right there a second. Just back it up.

210. Hey, where you going?

211. This ninja's cracking the door.

212. We are not ninja.

213. Hey, ninja...

214. What are you doing here?

215. Come on.

216. Hey, wait a minute.

217. What are you doing?

218. You crashed the gate.

219. Didn't you see those ninjas chasing me?

220. - They're trying to kill me. - Ninjas?

221. Yes, ninjas.

222. The... the creeps with the masks.

223. Honey, we get all kinds in here.

224. I've never seen you around. Uh... you live alone?

225. Listen to me.

226. There are Chinese ninjas after me because they

227. want the ultimate power.

228. And there's a 24-hour detox center on Main.

229. Oh, do I look like I'm on drugs to you,

230. you dumb muscle head?

231. Well, this dumb muscle head's throwing you out.

232. Hiya.

233. So let me understand this.

234. You automatically think a person is going to lie to you?

235. First chance they get.

236. Don't give anyone the benefit of the doubt, huh?

237. Not if they got on a skirt.

238. Do you have a problem with women?

239. Hey, who don't, except other chicks.

240. You know, an attitude like that can get you in trouble.

241. I'll say it can.

242. Come on.

243. I don't need this tonight... stories about ninjas.

244. Huh... wait a minute.

245. What's the matter?

246. The noise... it stopped.

247. Yeah, you stopped talking.

248. Shut up.

249. Johnny what's going on?

250. Freaks in masks killing everybody.

251. Mickey...

252. I can't believe it.

253. Let me out of here.

254. Do you believe me now?

255. These ninjas are killers.

256. We are not ninjas.

257. There's a trick to this door.

258. Damn it.

259. Who are those guys?

260. Old boyfriends?

261. Come on. Come on.

262. What?

263. Come on.

264. - Jump. - What?

265. Jump.

266. Thanks, babe.

267. What was that all about?

268. It's complicated.

269. I got time.

270. Mind if I smoke?

271. Yes.

272. Well, too bad.

273. - We're in the smoking section. - Ugh.

274. So what is it?

275. Those guys don't like rock and roll?

276. Oh, Cammy says it's some sort of religious sect or something.

277. Who's Cammy?

278. My crazy sister.

279. She took something from them.

280. I guess, she thinks they'll trade it for me.

281. Why doesn't she just give them back what they want?

282. Well, she must think it's awfully important to risk

283. her life and mine, and I hate to admit it,

284. but my sister always knows what she's doing.

285. Really.

286. She's a botanist.

287. So you got the looks and she's got the brains, huh?

288. She's very beautiful.

289. Then she got the looks and brains.

290. What did you get?

291. Look, muscle head, are you going to help me or not?

292. I'll take you to the cops, but that's as far as I go.

293. The cops aren't going to do anything.

294. There's no law against being a ninja.

295. Those ninjas wiped out a club.

296. I think there's a law against that.

297. Well, there's another reason we can't go to the cops.

298. Why?

299. They might pick you out of a line up?

300. She kind of talked me into smuggling something

301. into the country, and it's not drugs.

302. Well, what is it?

303. It's a flower from China.

304. Wu thinks it holds the key to ultimate power.

305. Wu?

306. What's a Wu?

307. He's the guy you almost creamed

308. with the fire extinguisher.

309. Interesting.

310. Can you just help me get to St. Luke's Church?

311. Uh-uh.

312. I'll pay you $300.

313. Make it $500.

314. Done.

315. What?

316. I can't pay you now.

317. I lost my purse when Wu was chasing me.

318. Honey, these pockets only take green.

319. God, all right, look, this is an 18-karat gold,

320. custom-made Rolex, 24-carat hands, diamond-studded face.

321. It's worth $10,000.

322. What kind of idiot would pay $10,000 for a watch?

323. Jonathon.

324. Oh, rich boyfriend, huh?

325. He was crazy in love with me.

326. I had to end it.

327. Yeah, but you kept the watch, didn't you?

328. He lied to me, OK?

329. I couldn't trust him anymore.

330. Do we have a deal or what?

331. Ed Molloy.

332. Samantha Crain.

333. Most people call me Sam.

334. Most people call me the Brain Smasher.

335. Ugh.

336. How do we get off?

337. Let's go, honey. Come on.

338. There's nothing to this.

339. It's OK.

340. I'm all right.

341. Come on.

342. Climb down.

343. I'll catch you.

344. Hey, honey, I ain't getting any younger.

345. Ah.

346. Oh.

347. You OK?

348. Yeah.

349. Is something the matter?

350. Tell me something.

351. Am I being used?

352. Is this the way to St. Luke's?

353. No, it's the way to my car.

354. It's too far to walk to the church.

355. I suggest we pick up a gun.

356. I don't use guns.

357. I never did. I don't believe in them.

358. You know what I mean?

359. I mean, some of the other guys pack them at the club,

360. but I don't find no honor in it.

361. Honor?

362. They want to kill us.

363. I'm telling you, I don't use guns.

364. Oh, that's right.

365. You just go around busting heads and removing cheeks and...

366. Hey, hold it.

367. And smashing brains.

368. Hold it.

369. I stop idiots and morons from breaking heads.

370. Let me tell you something.

371. You see this scar, this little scar right across my nose.

372. I was 16, hanging out in a club, minding my own business,

373. a big fight breaks out, right?

374. I get a bottle across my face.

375. You know why?

376. Because there was no bouncer.

377. So you see, I keep the peace.

378. And I like what I do.

379. And I'm proud of what I do.

380. And that's that.

381. I'll tell that story at your funeral.

382. Just come on.

383. I want to get to the car.

384. Ed, lighten up.

385. We got to make a quick stop first.

386. I got a debt to collect.

387. Now?

388. Relax.

389. We lost them.

390. - This will only take a minute. - So, what?

391. Are you bouncer at night, loan shark by day?

392. Oh, yeah?

393. You're just into ninjas and flowers, right?

394. Ma.

395. What's the matter?

396. You don't call your mother in three weeks?

397. Come here.

398. - Who is it? - It's Ed.

399. Ed, who?

400. Ed, your son, you idiot.

401. Ma, this is Samantha Crain.

402. This is my mother.

403. How do you do?

404. Oh, Hello, um...

405. Mrs. uh...

406. What kind of girl can't even remember your last name?

407. All right, ma.

408. Come on in a second.

409. Come on.

410. Hey, pop.

411. Still working?

412. Still working.

413. I've been coming here 10 years, that's all you

414. ever ask me... still working. Yeah, I'm still working.

415. Well, hello.

416. Why didn't you tell me we had a guest in the house?

417. It slipped my mind.

418. I know you.

419. Come on, come in here.

420. Come sit down.

421. Oh... oh, really, no.

422. I'm fine. I mean...

423. We got five chairs.

424. If she wants to sit, she can sit.

425. And I'm offering the best seat in the house

426. to this beautiful, young lady.

427. Hey, pop, take a cold shower, all right.

428. Let her sit wherever she wants.

429. All right?

430. Pop?

431. Pop?

432. I gotta talk.

433. Oh. Oh.

434. - Now sit down. - How much?

435. What do you mean, how much?

436. Give we $20 just for gas.

437. Money for gas?

438. Stop looking. What are you looking.

439. I gave you $20.

440. I can't look?

441. Hey, ma, where's my registration?

442. Top of the fridge.

443. You see that?

444. He won't even drive his car without the registration.

445. No tickets, no violations, never broke a law in his life.

446. A real, straight-up guy.

447. If anybody were to lead him or break his heart, I'd kill her.

448. Ma.

449. So, tell us, how did a woman like you

450. get to hook up with my Ed?

451. Oh, it's... really hard to explain, um...

452. I'm all ears.

453. More like all mouth.

454. Well, if you really want to know,

455. Ed saved my life from these Red Lotus warrior monks who

456. are after me because they think that I

457. can lead them to the flower that holds

458. the key to world domination.

459. Of course.

460. I got to talk to you now.

461. Hey, look, I... I don't approve of taking

462. advantage of the mentally ill, but in this case...

463. Mentally ill?

464. Dad, what are you saying?

465. I got the girl sitting right here.

466. Hey, are you talking like that to me?

467. Well, what do you got to open your mouth for?

468. I want to know about secret flowers and red monkeys...

469. Hey, hey, what is this?

470. What are you yelling at me?

471. See you outside.

472. Stop yelling at me. All you going to do is yell?

473. I'll just be...

474. Mom, I got to go.

475. All right?

476. I don't want to hear this no more.

477. Really nice to meet you.

478. Ma, I got to go. All right.

479. All right. All right.

480. - All right. - Thank you so much.

481. Goodbye.

482. All right, goodbye.

483. Nice family.

484. What are you saying?

485. That's... that's real life in there.

486. That was a conversation.

487. That's my parents. What are...

488. I didn't say... I'm not saying anything.

489. Well, you know, you got to have a little respect.

490. Where you going? Come out this way.

491. They back way is the quickest way.

492. Come on.

493. You don't know nothing.

494. Shh.

495. I don't like the idea of Ed being with that girl.

496. You don't like anybody he brings home.

497. There is something wrong with her.

498. Give her a chance.

499. Now what?

500. Maybe they forgot something.

501. Is that you, Ed?

502. We didn't order Chinese take-out.

503. We are searching for Miss Samantha Crain.

504. That looney?

505. She... she just left here with my son,

506. said she was being chased by killer ninjas.

507. Ah, yes.

508. Miss Crain suffers these delusions simply

509. because my colleagues and I from the Psychiatric Institute

510. happen to be Asian and dress fashionably in a basic black.

511. Do we look like ninjas to you?

512. Quick, Smile!

513. What?

514. Are you ignorant?

515. Ninjas are Japanese.

516. These guys are speaking Chinese.

517. You are a very wise man.

518. If your son is with Miss Crain, he is in great danger.

519. Why?

520. Where are they now?

521. They went to pick up his car.

522. It's always parked in front of his apartment...

523. 36 Charles Street.

524. It's up above the Lotus Cocktail Lounge.

525. Not so fast, doc.

526. What's your number so I can get in touch with my son.

527. My parents liked you and they don't like anybody,

528. including me.

529. They may have a point.

530. We're not going to make any more stops, are we?

531. Nah, I live over there.

532. It's pretty cool here, huh?

533. Like the neighborhood?

534. You got to see summertime... like we open up all the hydrants.

535. It's a lot of fun.

536. Ah, come on. Take a walk.

537. Get out of her.

538. It's amazing how they hang out on the corner

539. with their dirty, filthy mouths, smoking cigarettes,

540. leaning against my car.

541. I mean, you know, seats get a little cold,

542. but the chicks dig it.

543. Look at this baby.

544. My pride and joy.

545. Nice car.

546. Honey, don't play with me.

547. OK.

548. It's a piece of crap.

549. Are you happy now?

550. I like honesty.

551. Well, I honestly have to go to the restroom.

552. Come on.

553. After you.

554. Come on in.

555. This is my apartment. Look at this.

556. This is my trophy.

557. I, uh... won it boxing in '84.

558. My heavy bag.

559. It's probably not what you're used to, huh?

560. Well, yeah... you don't have to get defensive.

561. I mean, I wasn't going to say anything.

562. But you were thinking it.

563. It's all right.

564. Toilet's in there.

565. Maid's not working this week.

566. Mm.

567. Oh.

568. You all right?

569. Oh, yeah.

570. Well, I guess we should go.

571. Wait a minute.

572. Come here.

573. Come here.

574. Give me this.

575. All right.

576. In case those maniacs show up again,

577. you've got to be prepared.

578. You're going teach me to fight?

579. Oh, that's great. OK.

580. All right.

581. It's very simple.

582. It's called the one-two.

583. I invented it.

584. OK?

585. One... bam.

586. Shot to the balls.

587. Well, people call me a ball buster, so...

588. I'm sure they have.

589. Two... bang... upper cut to the chin...

590. lights out.

591. All right?

592. Now I want you to try it on me, slowly, very, very slowly.

593. OK?

594. OK.

595. One.

596. All right, good.

597. I'm OK.

598. Not bad.

599. Right here... give me everything you got...

600. everything.

601. OK.

602. Come on.

603. You see that?

604. Pretty good.

605. A little practice, you'll be all right.

606. If you would have connected, it would have been all over.

607. Hm.

608. Mm?

609. Yeah.

610. Hey, I... I'm in that.

611. - Oh, really? - Yeah, December.

612. Yeah, yeah.

613. Well, when I get to December, I'll check it out.

614. I'm going to get your coat, all right?

615. Sam!

616. Your mother!

617. Ha, you bastard.

618. That watch better be worth $10,000.

619. Jonathon wouldn't lie about that.

620. Well, what would he lie about?

621. He was married, OK?

622. Oh.

623. I'll patch it up tomorrow, Miss Bellows.

624. Miss Crain.

625. The one-two.

626. The one-two.

627. One... this guy has no nuts.

628. Miss Bellows?

629. Ed?

630. Ed?

631. Ah.

632. Here, come on.

633. Oh.

634. Ah.

635. Miss Bellows, you're a great land lady.

636. I'm a real stand-up broad.

637. We've got to go, OK?

638. Thanks a lot.

639. Yeah.

640. Ah.

641. Hands up.

642. Hit the wall now.

643. Late as usual, huh fellas?

644. I'm telling you, I don't know anything

645. else about those Chinese guys.

646. How do you know they're Chinese?

647. - Why not Japanese? - Why not Vietnamese?

648. Why not Korean?

649. Why not martians?

650. Let's get back to the woman, Ed.

651. You said, you'd never met her before tonight.

652. That's right.

653. Earlier, you stated that she crashed the door

654. at the Zebra Club and two of these so-called

655. ninjas followed her in.

656. Tried to follow her in.

657. I stopped two of them.

658. You guys were supposed to pick them up in front of the club.

659. Benny called you guys.

660. Benny Briscoe?

661. He was one of the victims tonight...

662. broken neck.

663. Yeah, I guess, sometimes bouncing

664. can get pretty dangerous, huh?

665. The officers at the scene said they didn't find

666. any unconscious ninjas, Ed.

667. Well maybe they take their wounded with them.

668. Look, I wasn't the only guy out there.

669. There had to be a hundred people out there.

670. Why don't you talk to them?

671. We did.

672. They also reported ninja activity.

673. Of course.

674. They were high and drunk.

675. What are you wasting your energy on me?

676. You should be out catching these guys.

677. You're a pretty smart guy, Ed.

678. For a bouncer.

679. Check the flights from China, call the ambassador,

680. do something.

681. Hey, don't turn stupid on us.

682. We're not going to call the FBI or Interpol

683. on the word of a Neanderthal bouncer and an airhead model.

684. Get back on the planet.

685. Hey, Sam's not an airhead and I'm not a Neanderthal.

686. I'm a Co Magnum.

687. What?

688. We'll be back.

689. Chinese ninja's... cut me a break.

690. You think he's wacko, wait till you hear the model.

691. Yeah, I recognize her from one of my lingerie catalogs.

692. I thought we were going to surprise them?

693. Mr. Black, Smith, Jones, Brown.

694. Why don't you tell us again why these, uh...

695. Chinese ninjas are after you.

696. I told you twice already, they want the flower.

697. Oh, right, the flower.

698. You know, the one that's going to give

699. them the ultimate power.

700. You expect us to believe this crap?

701. Well, my sister believes it, and she's always right.

702. Sounds like my wife.

703. Hmm.

704. This sister of yours, isn't she the Indiana Jones of botany?

705. Laugh all you want.

706. My sister's research made the cover

707. of the "American Botanist," three times last year.

708. We're very impressed.

709. How can we get in touch with this famous sister of yours?

710. I don't know.

711. She told me to meet her at St. Luke's Church tomorrow

712. and then she disappeared.

713. She was trying to protect me.

714. Didn't do a very good job, did she?

715. Looks like we're going to have to keep

716. you in custody until tomorrow.

717. Then we can hook up with this sister of yours

718. and get some real answers.

719. I want to call CAA and my lawyer.

720. Get her the phone.

721. It stopped ringing.

722. Maybe your lawyer hung up.

723. There's no dial tone.

724. It's not working.

725. Right.

726. Hello?

727. Are you there?

728. Hello?

729. Damn it.

730. We put this new system in two months ago.

731. Oh, no. Oh, no.

732. Oh, no.

733. Maybe it's the ninjas.

734. Keep it up, guy.

735. Let's try again.

736. What a story... masked Chinks...

737. Hiya!

738. I'm tired of being here.

739. Yes, it was St. Luke's.

740. And I've told you the same thing

741. over and over for the last 15 minutes.

742. Same story here and it's not...

743. Sit down.

744. Sit down.

745. You can't keep me in this...

746. Shut up.

747. Ed, it's a two-way mirror. She can't see you.

748. For the last two hours...

749. Sit down again.

750. You should take a little bit of rest then, if you're so tired.

751. Get your head together and we'll talk about this thing,

752. for Christ's sakes.

753. Jesus, what are you going to do with this broad, anyway?

754. What?

755. Every phone in the building's down.

756. No shit.

757. Jesus Christ.

758. Ah, she's a good looking broad, Ed.

759. Yeah. yeah, she is.

760. It's all right, Ed.

761. We know how it can be.

762. How what can be?

763. A classy women like that don't come around too often.

764. A guy like you, bouncer working the clubs,

765. you get your pick of the zombie groupies,

766. the underage alcoholics.

767. Preppy kids out for a thriller.

768. But nothing quite like Samantha Crain, huh?

769. You guys are way out of bounds.

770. Are we, Ed?

771. Why would you risk your life for a total stranger?

772. $10,000.

773. She gave me this.

774. What idiot would pay $10 grand for a watch?

775. The truth is, I was just trying to save my own ass.

776. She got in the way.

777. I don't love her.

778. I don't even know her.

779. We didn't say you loved her, Ed.

780. Stop protecting her, Ed, and cut this ninja crap,

781. and tell us what this is really about.

782. - What's it about? - Drugs, Ed.

783. Drugs in the Far East.

784. What are you looking at?

785. - I'm looking at you, pal. - Hey, what is that...

786. What are you talking about.

787. He said every phone in the building is down.

788. Don't you think that might mean...

789. Oh, shut up and sit down and listen to us.

790. We know you're clean, Ed.

791. You got into this drug business because of Sam.

792. She tricked you.

793. You guys are unbelievable.

794. Stop protecting her.

795. This broad is selling you out.

796. After everything that's gone down,

797. you still don't believe me about these ninjas.

798. We believe in drugs, Ed.

799. Police.

800. Ow.

801. Listen to me now.

802. They're not drug dealers.

803. They're killers.

804. You hear?

805. I hear you.

806. And they take their flowers very seriously.

807. The truth, Ed.

808. Tell us the truth or we'll beat it out of you.

809. The truth is you guys are idiots.

810. Start telling the truth!

811. I'm telling the truth.

812. I'm telling the truth.

813. We'll start right from the top.

814. Listen to me.

815. Sit down.

816. Hey, tell them to back off.

817. What is it, Ed? heroine or opium, huh?

818. What?

819. Why don't you just cut the chop sake crap and cooperate.

820. This is America, god damn it.

821. Mass ninjas.

822. We are not ninjas.

823. Isn't that funny.

824. You want to play?

825. Let's play.

826. You have been a lot of trouble, Miss Crain.

827. I expect it from your sister, but not from someone

828. with a brain of a coat hanger.

829. If it were not

830. for my solemn vows of abstinence...

831. I'd give you a really good time.

832. Ugh.

833. You going to just stay down here or what?

834. You all right?

835. Come on.

836. - Wait. - What?

837. - Cramp. - What?

838. My neck. Wu punched me.

839. Where? What?

840. - Right there. - All right.

841. - How's that? - Yeah.

842. Is that all right?

843. Mm.

844. Yeah?

845. Mm.

846. You like that?

847. Mm.

848. Yeah, you got a nice neck, you know...

849. You see that? You're all better.

850. Come on.

851. Come on.

852. Hold it. Hold it.

853. They're right behind us.

854. Get away from the stairs.

855. You move, you die.

856. Oh, what? No way.

857. Come on.

858. Give me a break.

859. Oh, no, no, no.

860. Man, are you kidding?

861. Oh, that must hurt.

862. Catch.

863. Get him!

864. Come on.

865. Come on!

866. Oh, my god.

867. Ed, are you OK?

868. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it.

869. Those guys wiped out an entire police station without even

870. building up a sweat.

871. Ed, I... I can't believe how you took care of those guys.

872. I can't go up against that.

873. Don't sell yourself short.

874. You were great.

875. I was lucky.

876. Those guys catch bullets.

877. But Ed, you... you got us out of there in one piece.

878. - You were... - Sam, enough.

879. All right?

880. Just... just have your sister give back what they want.

881. You're quitting on me, aren't you?

882. I'm scared.

883. Well, that's good, because I know a lot of guys that got

884. messed up for life because they weren't scared.

885. You gotta know when to cut your losses.

886. I do.

887. So just walk 10 blocks up this way, make a left,

888. and St. Luke's will be on your right.

889. But we can beat them.

890. You're talking from your heart, not your head.

891. I can't believe you're just going to leave me.

892. Sorry, honey, I know when I'm over matched.

893. Fine.

894. Hello, Miss Crain, this is the Hamilton Hotel,

895. 242 Third Ave. A Miss Cammy Crain

896. just checked in and asked you to contact her here at 555-1972.

897. She's waiting for your call.

898. Hi, Sam.

899. This is Tali.

900. You've got a bathing suit shoot...

901. Hamilton Hotel?

902. Yes, uh... hi.

903. Can I speak to Cammy Crain, please?

904. She's not?

905. Well, then, can I speak to the manager?

906. Oh, hi, uh... you left a message for me about my sister.

907. Your sister said she needs you to come to the hotel

908. right away.

909. Really?

910. Oh, god, I don't have any way of getting there.

911. You can?

912. Oh, that would be terrific.

913. Uh... yeah.

914. I'm across the street from the Guild Theater.

915. Do... do you know where that is?

916. Mm-hmm.

917. OK.

918. Well, send the car there.

919. I'll wait inside.

920. About half an hour.

921. Thank you so much.

922. You're welcome.

923. I did everything you told me.

924. Thank you.

925. Oh... oh, my nose.

926. Was that really necessary?

927. Oh, I think it's broken.

928. Sweetheart?

929. If you're looking for work, you uh...

930. you just got the job.

931. Thanks, but I just quit.

932. Get you something, honey?

933. Uh... Perrier, please?

934. Sorry, honey, this ain't France.

935. Oh, well, then, uh...

936. I'll just have water would be fine.

937. Are you sure you don't want something else.

938. I got to charge you a minimum.

939. Water's fine, thanks.

940. Relax, baby.

941. It's just me, Romeo.

942. You ain't the first woman to get excited by my touch.

943. Oh, get lost, creep.

944. I'm waiting for somebody.

945. I bet you think I'm looking to lay

946. the ground work here, right?

947. Well, wrong.

948. It's my name.

949. It's a curse, you hear?

950. Chicks think I'm interested in cereal.

951. Relax, angel face, we got all night to fall in love,

952. you hear?

953. There's no meter running.

954. One... two...

955. Nice job, cooler.

956. Who's your new friend?

957. Ed, what happened to you?

958. Fell down.

959. Your face is a mess.

960. You should be more careful.

961. Yeah, well, I just came by to give you this.

962. You know, I didn't finish the job.

963. You know, and I figure if you get together

964. with your boyfriend, uh...

965. he might wonder what happened to his $10,000 watch.

966. We're getting kind of close, aren't we, Ed?

967. You think?

968. So, you have a girlfriend?

969. You kidding me?

970. The girls I like don't like me, and the ones that do like me,

971. I don't.

972. And what category do I fit into?

973. Neither.

974. I'm not your type.

975. You know what I'd do, I'd buy you a Timex

976. and make you buy the batteries.

977. What can I get you?

978. Oh, just water.

979. Got to charge you a minimum.

980. Do what you got to do.

981. So what's going on here?

982. Oh, I'm, um... waiting for a car

983. to come take me to my sister.

984. What happened to St. Luke's?

985. Cammy left a message on my machine.

986. She checked into a hotel and the hotel is sending a car.

987. Here?

988. Yeah.

989. Isn't that funny.

990. All of a sudden she changed the plans.

991. I don't like it.

992. I mean, if, uh...

993. something were to happen in this joint, there's no bouncer.

994. You're a straight-up guy, aren't you, Ed?

995. What did you say to me?

996. I said you were a straight-up guy.

997. Hey, don't tease me.

998. I wouldn't.

999. Good.

1000. Let's get out of here.

1001. Keep this.

1002. Hey?

1003. What did you do to Jimmy.

1004. Ask Jimmy.

1005. I knew his name wasn't Romeo.

1006. Yeah, I know.

1007. Oh, my god.

1008. What's going on, guys?

1009. Give yourself up, Miss Crain.

1010. I have no desire to hurt you or your friend.

1011. Why don't you kiss my ass, Wu?

1012. I'd love to.

1013. Sam, don't antagonize these guys, huh?

1014. Listen to your friend's advice, Miss Crain.

1015. There's still a chance I will let you live after this.

1016. I admit, it's a small chance, but it could happen.

1017. Ha.

1018. Don't make me laugh.

1019. You're not going to let us go.

1020. Possession of the Red Lotus will make me

1021. the most powerful man on earth.

1022. Once I have the flower, you can go to your police

1023. with my blessing.

1024. They will not to be able to touch me.

1025. No one will be able to touch me.

1026. I thought you wanted your flower for your religion?

1027. I do not want to be a Kung Fu thug forever.

1028. I, too, have ambitions.

1029. Well, let me tell you something, halfwit.

1030. You're never going to get your flower.

1031. And how do you intend to stop me, Miss Crain?

1032. Fling your bikini at me?

1033. Do you know who this is?

1034. Some innocent fool you seduced into helping you?

1035. This is the Brain Smasher.

1036. He hates Kung Fu.

1037. In fact, he thinks it's for wimps.

1038. Oh, what... what are you talking...

1039. I was just telling you I love that stuff.

1040. Uh... Chuck Norris... I got all the movies.

1041. You know... the blond guy.

1042. Let's kick some ninja butt.

1043. We're dead.

1044. For the last time, we are not ninjas.

1045. Miss Crain?

1046. Get her!

1047. You boys aren't allowed back here.

1048. Now beat it.

1049. Why don't you take a seat out front, fellas?

1050. We'll give you something to write home about.

1051. Ah, ah, ah, peeking's not allowed.

1052. Take your seats out front.

1053. You'll see her titties soon enough.

1054. Those little guys are kind of cute.

1055. Thanks a lot.

1056. Don't thank me.

1057. Pay me.

1058. Well... well, I don't...

1059. I don't have $50 on me right now,

1060. but uh... this guy that I'm with, he has this watch.

1061. It's worth $10,000.

1062. I'll just go get him for...

1063. You expect me to believe some sucker

1064. spent $10,000 on a watch?

1065. You listen, princess, I don't work for free.

1066. You turn over the cash or I'll turn you over to the ninjas.

1067. Sorry.

1068. What is this, a costume party? Find the model!

1069. Out of my god damn way, honey.

1070. I got a show to do.

1071. Miss Crain, if you have any concern for your friend's life,

1072. do not take another step.

1073. I do not want to hurt you or this man.

1074. I simply want what is rightfully mine, what we have

1075. been hunting for 2,250 years.

1076. Sam, run.

1077. Go to your sister.

1078. I'll take care of this.

1079. Ed?

1080. She's in love with you, isn't she?

1081. You think so?

1082. I'm very happy for you, Brain Smasher.

1083. Thanks.

1084. I like to see a man die with a smile on his face.

1085. We lost her.

1086. Perhaps you may yet serve

1087. the cause of the Red Lotus.

1088. Do me a favor, put me away already, huh?

1089. Why don't I just reshuffle your face,

1090. then give the beautiful Miss Crain

1091. a chance to prove her love.

1092. Excuse me, Wu.

1093. Hey, Romeo?

1094. You?

1095. Cammy?

1096. Cammy.

1097. Sam.

1098. - Oh, Cammy. - Sam.

1099. Oh, Cammy.

1100. Oh, you're alive.

1101. Oh, oh, cut it out.

1102. Of course I'm alive.

1103. Why wouldn't I be alive?

1104. Well, it's just that I saw Wu go after you...

1105. Yeah, so?

1106. Don't you start with that model crap,

1107. like I'm not capable of taking care of myself.

1108. Look, what are you doing here?

1109. You're not supposed to be here until noon.

1110. Ed... Ed's in trouble.

1111. Ed?

1112. The botanist has got my number, Ed.

1113. All she needs to do is give me a call.

1114. If she really loves you, she'll convince her sister to trade

1115. the Red Lotus for your life.

1116. Hello?

1117. Who's this?

1118. I want to talk to my son, Ed.

1119. It's your mother.

1120. Hello? Hello?

1121. What, ma?

1122. What time are you coming home?

1123. I don't know what time I'll be home.

1124. Listen...

1125. Hang up on her.

1126. I won't trade the flower for Ed... period.

1127. Well, we can't just let Ed die.

1128. He saved my life.

1129. You love him.

1130. Maybe.

1131. You must.

1132. I haven't seen you smoke since you were in high school.

1133. It's too bad, because in the larger scheme of things,

1134. it's more important that Wu never get the lotus.

1135. Look, I don't care about all that ultimate power crap.

1136. I just care about Ed.

1137. Oh, since when have you cared about anything

1138. other than your tan lines?

1139. Talk about selfish.

1140. You make me leave work, smuggle something into the country,

1141. practically get me killed, and all without a thank you.

1142. But I expect that from you, because you are my sister.

1143. Ed is an innocent bystander.

1144. Oh, I can't believe I finally care about someone,

1145. and he's going to die before I get a chance to sleep with him.

1146. Perhaps I should change my name to finger-breaker Wu.

1147. What do you think?

1148. Too many syllables.

1149. Ah.

1150. Legend says that the man who takes

1151. the petals of the red lotus into his body

1152. becomes gifted with unimaginable powers.

1153. His... his mind becomes a physical weapon with no limits.

1154. Anything he can imagine, he can make happen.

1155. If he pictures you dead, you die.

1156. If he sees a burning plane, your flight bursts into flames.

1157. If he pictures the whole world worshipping him as a god,

1158. it will.

1159. You don't really believe that, do you?

1160. Well, I didn't, but then I found the lotus growing out

1161. of snow 20 feet deep, 500miles from the nearest

1162. arable soil, just exactly as the legend said it would be.

1163. So you tell me, Samantha, is Ed's

1164. life, anyone's life, worth more than keeping

1165. this out of Wu's hands?

1166. You know, Brain Smasher, you and I may have

1167. been wrong about Miss Crain.

1168. It wouldn't be the first time a beautiful woman

1169. used a man then deserted him at his greatest hour of need.

1170. What's your problem, Wu, huh?

1171. What is it?

1172. Your name... Wu?

1173. That's what I whistle to a girl down the street.

1174. Hey, woo. Ah.

1175. What kind of torture is this, anyway?

1176. If it's my mother, tell her I'm on the way.

1177. Hello?

1178. Why, Miss Crain, what a pleasant surprise.

1179. Cheap theatrics, Miss Crain.

1180. They're not cheap, Wu.

1181. The Crain sisters...

1182. we are doomed.

1183. How you doing, Ed?

1184. I'll tell you, Sam, uh...

1185. I don't remember the last time I had so much fun.

1186. Like we agreed over the phone, a straight trade...

1187. Ed for the Red Lotus.

1188. I still find it very difficult to believe that you would

1189. trade ultimate power for an Ed.

1190. I hear Ed's got his strong points.

1191. You see that Wu.

1192. I told you the chick digs me.

1193. I got charm, class, charisma.

1194. You know I got a mirror above my bed

1195. so I'm the first one I see when I get up in the morning.

1196. Hey.

1197. But, uh... unfortunately Wu's right.

1198. I'm not worth...

1199. You know it.

1200. I know it.

1201. But my sister doesn't.

1202. The Red Lotus now.

1203. Gently.

1204. And no tricks.

1205. No tricks.

1206. Just thought you'd want to inspect the prize.

1207. Happy now, Wu, you got your flower?

1208. What a bunch of crap... ultimate power.

1209. Very happy.

1210. Ed!

1211. Sam.

1212. Brain Smasher.

1213. Step back, Miss Crain.

1214. Ah.

1215. You're going to have his babies, right?

1216. We just met.

1217. I thought you said you loved him.

1218. Well, I'm not going to talk about it right here, right now.

1219. Well, I'm not giving up the ultimate power

1220. unless you say you do.

1221. Just say it.

1222. You love Ed.

1223. Say it or Ed dies.

1224. - Ah.

1225. I love Ed.

1226. I love Ed.

1227. And I want to be Mrs. Ed, uh... uh...

1228. Molloy.

1229. Molloy, right.

1230. I have you outnumbered four to one.

1231. Now set the flower down.

1232. I'd say we're just about equal.

1233. Oh.

1234. You used a gun.

1235. That's right.

1236. This isn't a Kung Fu movie.

1237. Now you release Ed or I'll blow your ninja butts to hell.

1238. Ugh.

1239. We are not ninjas.

1240. If I say you're ninjas, then you're ninjas.

1241. Hey, Wu?

1242. Catch.

1243. No.

1244. Oh.

1245. Sam, the gun.

1246. OK.

1247. Hey, ninja?

1248. We are not...

1249. If my sister says you're a ninja, you're a goddamn ninja.

1250. Ah.

1251. What made you think you could ever do this, Ed?

1252. You are a loser.

1253. Hey, ninja?

1254. After this kick, Miss Crain, you will need to earn

1255. your living as a hand model.

1256. Hey, Wu?

1257. End of story, baby.

1258. Brain Smasher.

1259. Woof.

1260. You're going to be part of the family?

1261. Stop him.

1262. I will destroy all of you.

1263. Mm.

1264. How are you feeling, Wu?

1265. Where is the power?

1266. I'm a scientist, Wu.

1267. I don't believe in myths and magic.

1268. 2,250 years...

1269. Down the toilet!

1270. Hey, honey?

1271. I get my face bashed in for a bunch of bull?

1272. Says who?

1273. Says Madame Butterfly over here, that's who says.

1274. I slipped Wu a poisonous stand in from the garden at St.

1275. Luke's.

1276. You gambled all our lives on a fake flower?

1277. It was a calculated risk.

1278. Very clever.

1279. I tell you what, why don't we split a pedal?

1280. Nobody's eating this, not even the rats at the labs.

1281. I'm going to win a decade's worth of fully-funded research

1282. for selling this to a museum.

1283. I'm off to Burma.

1284. Oh, what do I tell mom and dad about Christmas?

1285. Tell them it's on the 25th of December.

1286. You and Ed did good back there.

1287. Yeah, for a model and a bouncer.

1288. It's tough being a cliche.

1289. You OK?

1290. Yeah, I'm all right.

1291. I won't be doing any bouncing for awhile, but I...

1292. Sorry about your head.

1293. You got nice hands, you know that?

1294. They're just hands.

1295. Well, you know, I dated chicks with like fat hands,

1296. chunky fingers.

1297. And I once dated a chick with webbed fingers, you know?

1298. But no, I mean it, you really got nice hands.

1299. You got nice everything, especially your eyes.

1300. You know why?

1301. I look into your eyes, I see someone

1302. I could really care for.

1303. Yeah, what was I thinking, right?

1304. You need me.

1305. Famous model... you could have any guy.

1306. You've got guys giving you $10,000

1307. watches like they're nothing.

1308. Pfft.

1309. Yeah.

1310. Me, Ed Molloy, bouncer, Brain Smasher, right?

1311. I mean...

1312. You are as stupid as you look.

1313. Is that what you think, that I want watches?

1314. Nobody ever said the things you say to me.

1315. I really like you.

1316. Like me?

1317. You said before you loved me.

1318. I'd say anything to save the world.

1319. Oh, yeah?

1320. Say it again, Sam.

1321. I love you.

1322. I love you.
