SB Stella Bridger
[Stella gets an early-morning phone call from her father.]
Hello?
John Bridger Hello, sweetie.
S Stella
Daddy...[checks the clock] it's early.
John I just wanted to let you know that I'm sending you something.
S Stella
Mmm. Does it smell nice?
John No...But it's sparkly.
S Stella
[suddenly wide awake]
Does it have a receipt?
John [chuckles]
I'm sending it to you from the store.
S Stella
Hmm. Why don't you just come by? We'll have some breakfast.
John It'd be a long trip. [pause] I'm in Venice.
S Stella
[sits up in bed]
With your parole officer's approval, of course?
John I like the guy, Stella, you know that. But we never really connected. So I think I've paid my PO his last visit.
S Stella
What are you into, Dad? Don't break my heart. You told me you were through.
John After this, I am through. I swear to you.
LE Left Ear
So come on, gentlemen, shopping list. Who's doing what? Spare no dirty details.
John Come on, guys. Take a lesson from an old man. Don't spend it. Invest.
John In gold.
LE Left Ear
What are you getting, Rob?
HR Handsome Rob
Ah, I don't know. There's a lot of things you can get with a lot of money. You know, I'm just thinking about naked girls in leather seats.
LE Left Ear
Obviously. See?
HR Handsome Rob
Suppose I'll get the Aston-Martin Vanquish. There's not a lot a girl won't do in the passenger seat of one of those things.
I'm gonna get a NAD T-770 digital decoder with a seventy-watt amp and and Burr Brown DAC's.
LE Left Ear
[at a loss]
Yeah...
It's a big stereo. Speakers so loud, they blow women's clothes off.
HR Handsome Rob
Now you're talking!
LE Left Ear
Thirty-five million dollars, you can't get more creative than that, man? I'm going to Andalusia. The south of Spain. Right over there. [points] Get me a big house, get me a library full of first editions, get a room for my shoes... What about you, Steve?
I don't know. I haven't decided yet.
LE Left Ear
You haven't decided yet? Come on, man. Is it the mountain air? Just —
I liked what you said. I'll take one of each of yours.
LE Left Ear
[Laughs]
Well here's to two of everything for Steve!
John Bridger Charlie, there are two kinds of thieves in this world: the ones who steal to enrich their lives, and the ones who steal to define their lives. Don't be the latter. Makes you miss out on what's really important in this life.
What are you talking about, John? You've been a good father.
John Sending presents doesn't make you a good father. I spent half my kid's life in prison. Don't get to be my age with nothing but this, Charlie. Find somebody you want to spend the rest of your life with and hold onto her forever. Okay?
[Steve has pulled a gun, and his armed henchmen have surrounded the gang's van.]
What the hell are you doing, Steve?
Made a few plans of my own.
John Bridger There's nowhere you can go where we won't find you, Steve. You know that.
I think that's probably right, John. [shoots him]
