Lennie Pike So lets see, now, I got 1 share for being 1 person, 1 share for going down the hill, 1 share for the truck, and 1 share for being a person in the truck, but no matter how you figure it out, I still don't get as much as anybody else!
Let me explain once more. [Points pen at J. Russell Finch, Mrs. Marcus, and Emmeline Marcus-Finch] Them, their group, they, those 3, they get $112,000. [Points pen at Dingy Bell and Benjy Benjamin] Those over there, them, they get $97,000. [Points pen at himself and Monica] We, we, us they get $84,000. [Points pen at Pike] And you, by yourself, you get $56,000, alone, and that's tax free money.
Lennie Pike What do you mean "tax free"?
I don't think you have to worry about that. My wife is divorcing me; my mother in-law is suing me for damages; my daughter is petitioning the court to get her name changed; my pension has been revoked, and the ONLY reason, that you ten idiots will very likely get off lightly, is because the judge will have me up there.....to throw the book at!
[First lines; the car is on the run. The driver is non other than the elderly criminal Smiler Grogan. He passed the other cars and a truck and jumped off the side of the hilly road, and crashed down below. All the cars pull over one by one, the men quickly jump out in shock at having just witnessed everything]
Whoa! Hey d-did ya see it, the way he went sailing right out there? He just went sailing right out there.
It was terrible, I m-a-mean just terrible. He musta been doin' over eighty ya know.
An ambulance - we better, we oughta call an ambulance.
Oh...Oh look at that car.
[The group starts bickering and talking over one another]
He went sailing right out there.
How 'bout you doin' ninety miles an hour?
I wasn't doin' - he was passin' me.
We weren't standin' still when he passed us...
I never saw such a crazy guy in my life!...
Lennie Pike Come on, let's get down there!
[The group immediately starts scrambling down the rocky hill] [to Emmeline and Mrs. Marcus]
W...We're gonna go down there, you stay in the car.
E Emmeline
Now Russell, be careful, remember your condition.
[gestures her hand with disdain]
Eh.
[to himself]
Ooh, boy the way he just sailed out there. [follows down after the group]
SG Smiler Grogan
[while dying]
Look, there's this dough see. There's all this dough. Three hundred and fifty g's! Do you hear what I'm saying? Three hundred and fifty g's! In the park. Rosita. Rosita Beach State Park. Just south of Daygo in Santa Rosita. It's in this box, buried under this... [continuing after coughing in his injured state] ...buried under this big W. You'll see it! You'll see it under this big W. You can't miss it! A big, big, W! And it's been there. And it's been laying there for fifteen years! Watch out. Watch out for the bulls. Lousy, stinking bulls are everywhere. Bulls all over the place. You just drive down and dig it up. Dig it all up. And then - and then you fix yourselves all up. Fix yourselves all up. Walk down the street like a king, back to the old neighborhood. See the fellas, the dames - the dames, all with a big hello - a big hello for old Smiler. Good old Smiler, everybody's friend. [lies his head down, almost dead. Benjy takes his hat off, until he jolts awake and grabs Melville's jacket] Aunt Belle, I didn't mean to do it!
Lennie Pike Holy mackerel, take it easy, mister!
SG Smiler Grogan
[last words]
Please! Please say it don't make any difference, Aunt Belle! Please! You gotta say! You gotta tell me it don't make any difference!
For heaven's sake, tell him.
It - It don't make any difference.
Lennie Pike [Smiler Grogan groans, finally passes away, and kicks the bucket - literally, stunning the men]
That guy is dead. You better believe it.
Oh, I believe it all right, but if he jumps up again like he did before, I'm gonna get the hell out of here.
[pulling a blue bicycle from the mess of furniture that fell out of Pike's van]
Here, take this and go hire us the best car you can find.
Lennie Pike But...this is a little girl's bike. This is for a little girl. Oh listen, I got to get this stuff back in so I can lock up the van.
We'll put everything away. Will you get going please, will you hurry?
Lennie Pike Oh, okay...I gotta admit. I feel kinda silly. You know what I mean? [nonetheless pedals away on the bicycle]
[on the phone]
Mama, who's with you? Where are you talking to me? Where are you?
[on the phone]
I'm with this truck driver at Peterson's garage in a place called Plaster City! And will you just shut up a minute so I can tell you what happened?!
[on the phone]
Now listen, Mommy, you listen to me close. You stay right there, because I'm coming, Mom. I'm coming to get you right now, Mom.
[on the phone]
Will you shut up and listen?!
[on the phone]
Mama, it's all right. Everything's gonna be all right, Mama. Your baby's coming to get ya. You just sit there. Sit there, relax, take it easy.
[on the phone]
Sylvester-!
[on the phone]
I'm coming to get you, Mom!
[on the phone]
Shut up and let me talk-!
[on the phone; interrupting his mother]
Everything is gonna be all right! [hangs up]
Lennie Pike [to Mrs. Marcus]
Well?
[to Lennie; in a calm shock]
So he's coming here. And I'm not to worry about a thing, because "everything is going to be all right". [to Emmeline; shouting] EXACTLY LIKE YOUR FATHER! A big, stupid, muscle-headed moron!
[about his mother-in-law]
And I give you my word. My wife wanted to stop for you, I wanted to stop for you, he wanted to stop for you. But tell him, tell him how my mother in-law made us drive right by him...
Lennie Pike Listen, anything you can say about your mother in law, you don't have to tell me! You know what I mean? It's like, if she were a star of a real crummy horror movie, I'd believe it!
