Hardware (1990) Movie Script

This is Angry Bob, the man with
the industrial dick!
Coming at you loud and clear
on W.A.R. Radio.
Rise and shine folks,
its a beautiful day.
Just look at that sky,
its a work of art!
Nature never knew colors like that.
When you look at it,
be sure to wear your shades!
The radiation count is way up...
...and the heatwave aint expected
to let up either.
Wheatercontrol tell us it will probably hit
As for the good news...
There is no fucking good news!
So lets rock with
one of our golden oldies...
New York Max,
thats the place to make it now.
Youre talking 9000 tons of steel,
...kitchen appliances, typewriters.
audio gear, tons of autoparts!
Works of art, hanging in the galleries
Just hanging there, waiting to be plucked.
Clothing, tupes, bridgework, false teeth,
prostetic limbs...
You name it, New York has got it all.
No one is going to repopulate The Big Apple,
not with the rat count the way it is.
You know, stuff is just going begging!
Salvage City, Max...Youll love it.
Dont call me Max.
Well, well well. Hard Mo Baxter.
Taking a little vacation?
Is this authorized?
What do you care?
Nothing that comes in here is authorized.
Oh, untrue. Im primarily legitimate now...
Maybe we should go elsewhere then Alvy?
No, no, wait untill I get my glasses!
Are you sure? We can go somewhere...
No, no, just wait...
That Alvy...
He kills me every time.
My back.
Christ!
Where is the little man?
Hes indisposed...
You pushing something?
See what his shit is.
Let me see.
Where did you find it?
Glass flats, Judas sea,
looking all over.
I give you 30.
I knew youd see it my way.
Merry Christmas.
What the fuck was that?!
A zonetripper.
Ive seen his type...
The whole sea is full of them.
- Who was that?
- Someone looking for the bathroom, come on!
I put my boot in his ass
and sent him on his way.
Why dont he piss in the street,
like everyone else?
- Show me!
- Where did you get this?!
- Out in the zone, what do you think it is?
- Probably a maintenance droid.
- Stepped on a fragmine I guess.
- You think so?
Its not alot I can do with this.
Its got good visual circuits, infrared...
Unusual microgear...
I give you 30 cs cash in hand.
but I think I will hold on to it.
This is junk,
what are you gonna do with it?
Its christmas eve Alvy,
you should know that.
You used to be an elf, didnt you?
You cant expect me to go back to
my girl empty handed, can you?
You dont know my girl.
How much for the other stuff?
Yep Alvy, your as high as you ever gonna go.
Cant help it if mother caught a dose
in the big one. Come on.
You just wait.
All those years out in the zone
your kids will make me look like narcissis.
Hey, hey folks! Rise and shine.
I got an update here on the conflict,
we all know and love.
The deathtoll from last nights violation
of the christmas ceasefire is still rising.
It currently stands at around 578,
with the counterattack now well underway.
I send this message of holiday cheer
to all of you:
Kill, kill, kill!
Yo, hey Miss Wakowski.
Vernon, the son of a bitch
was at my door again.
Who?
I dont know. I didnt see him,
he just keeps ringing my bell.
- Then how do you know its the same guy?
- Vernon, it is.
- I couldnt see anybody.
- Yes... thats what worries me.
- Let me speak to Chief.
- Hes out on his rounds.
Dont worry miss Wakowski,
well keep our eyes peeled.
Listen Vernon I... hey!
Ive got a delivery coming up this morning.
- Be sure you let him up this time.
- Will do.
As planned, the emergency
population control bill...
...will take affect at midnight,
on the first of the year.
Eager citizens are already lining up
at sterilization centers.
Wich will be opened around the clock
to aid in the transition.
to what the President terms:
A clean break from procreation.
In a related story...
The two creators of the population control
bill was found dead yesterday...
Ready...on...boil.
You took a beating on that deal man.
That zonehead fell asleep
and you were still jacking up the price.
Well, I just want Jill to be happy.
Thats what I like about you, Max.
Youre a real romantic.
Youre the cabby?
Where you guys going?
Downtown.
You guys like music?
Check these guys out.
Used to be okay down here,
you know that?
Used to be, you could walk
down here any time.
Go out on a saturday night
with just brassknuckles, nothing else.
Maybe a piece of wood, piece of
pipe, you know what I mean.
Nowdays you need a gun all the time.
Fucking bunch of shit, what these people
are doing to the fucking world.
Its the same every time man.
The minute Im back on earth,
I wanna be in space again.
Yeah, right. Till one of you boosters
blows up under you...
...or your heatshield ripps off
on the way home.
Hey, dont knock it.
Dying in space is real easy.
One pssst and youre gas... spread
out over a thousand miles of stratosphere.
Jesus man! Think of the view.
No more sitting in a bunker
coughing your guts out.
Waiting for your first cancer cells to show
or kids to be born blind and blue
Because I mean,
you have had one trip to many or...
...caught snake-eyes
in a genetic crap game.
Jesus, do you think Jill wants you to go on
wading around up to your arse in...
...radioactive iodine for the rest
of your life.
Think she liked it better if I ended up
like one of these bums?
Holy shit!
What the hell happened here? This was
a respectable building a few months ago.
Some drugged out joyrider drove
a landcruiser through the security gates.
You just cant keep m out.
This place is going to hell.
Christ! They are all over the place.
Somebody ought to help these people...
...or clear them out.
They just keep coming back Max.
Nothings gonna keep them out except for
sealing this place up like a bunker.
Thats not such a bad idea.
- Does she know youre back Max?
- I didnt want to wake her.
- Do you think she is going to let you stay?
- Of course she will.
She sleeps better when Im around.
Makes her feel more secure.
Thats a laugh man! She couldnt be
more secure, then she is now.
Shes sealed in tight!
She doesnt need your help.
She doesnt stick her little toe out
if she dont need to.
How do you know?
- I keep an eye on her.
- Good... keep it up.
When Im not around...
see nothing happens to her.
Youve been away a long time man.
What are you going to tell her?
She understands.
She knows what kind of job I do.
Jill! Its me, Mo. You home?
- Mo?
- Are you going to let me in or what?
- I changed the code.
- She changed the code?
Come on Jill. Its Mo.
Im back.
- Hey baby.
- Hello.
- Second levels low today.
- Ive had warmer hellos.
- Its been a while.
- Yeah.
- Hows it going?
- Fine.
How are you?
Pretty good.
Got a job costumizing these consols
for these uptowners.
Welfare checks are coming in...
cant complain.
See my new pet?
Ive been using it for modeling.
Woke up this morning and made a web.
- What you feed it?
- Sometimes I catch a bug.
Sucks them dry.
Ive got something else youll like.
Ive been basing my work more on
organic forms but...
...sometimes by the time Im finished,
its hard to tell.
Its like Im fighting with the metal and...
so far the metal is winning.
Its... very... powerfull.
- Thanks Shades.
- Jill, I got something for you!
God!
Its horrible... I love it.
- What is it?
- Maintenance droid I think.
I picked m up out in the zone. Probably
somekind of new design they are testing out.
Thought you could make
an ashtray out of this.
Just look at the workmanship,
its so beautiful.
Yeah, it is, isnt it?
You dont look so bad yourself.
Merry Christmas baby.
Its good to see you Mo.
Spread those lips.
Thats it... oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Oh thats it baby.
Take that big dick! Yes.
Take it all the way in, thats it.
All the way in.
Take it. Suck him dry.
Thats it baby, you got him now.
God, youre beautiful!
Yeah, thats it baby.
Take that big dick, take it in.
Yeah... oh yes. Yeah.
Take him baby... squeez that tube.
Yeah...come on. Yeah.
Take him, suck it dry.
Thats it... Thats my bitch!
Yeah... squeez it!
Fucking bitch.
God, I love you.
Sweet.

Biomechanical auto-independent
artificially intelligent lifeform.
Fairisle Electronics presents
its new model: The MARK-13.
Ready...on...boil.
...widespreed deficiency related diseases
in the inner city.
Elsewere in the news:
Popular support has been swift and loud...
...for the proposed emergency population
control bill.
The bill would mandate...
- Its raining.
- What?
- I thought it was raining.
- God, I wish.
I was dreaming.
I could hear the rain...
on the glass.
And you were laying beside me...
in the dream.
- I like it.
- Really, I think its okay.
Where did you get all the babydolls?
Shades found a whole
box of them in the streets.
Well I provided the crowning touch, eh?
Did you hear about the new population
bill they are trying to put through?
No.
They are trying to stop people from
having kids in the next few years.
Gonna levy fines against people
that have to many.
Take away their ration coupons.
Sterilize people who already have...
- ...high enough doses of radioactivity.
- It will never work.
Its our nature to reproduce.
To live on.
Man has always gone against their nature.
Used to be natural to die
of old age before 30.
What are you saying?
You like the idea?
No, I just...think its stupid and suicidal
and sadistic to have children right now.
Stupid, sadistic and suicidal...
The three Ss.
- Thats how I feel.
- Thats how you feel, eh?
And what is this?
Somekind statement about all that?
- No.
- Because if it is, I dont get it.
You know, whats the head
supposed to mean anyway?
It doesnt mean anything!
Its... its not for you.
Its not for anybody.
I guess not. All Im saying, is that
it be nice if you could sell something...
- ...every once in a while, wouldnt it?
- Look, Im doing alright on my own.
- I dont need anything from you.
- I dont know about that.
Goverment takes a pretty big hunk
out of my paycheck every month.
Where do you think your welfare checks
are coming from, eh?
What do you want me to do?
You want me to join your corps?
Think of what our radioactiv kids
will be like then.
I stopped thinking about kids
a long time ago.
You always say that things will change.
Maybe they will.
Oh yeah they will... they will.
They are going to get worse
before they get better.
- Survival of the fittest.
- Youd like that, wouldnt you?
Oh yeah, I like that.
And why not? Im one of the fittest.
Keep asking myself why
I let you in everytime.
Why the fuck do I let you in?
- Great.
- Ill get it.
- No, dont answear it!
- What are you scared of?
- Alvy?
- I got to see you.
Sorry to call you so late,
but its important.
Jesus Alvy! Talk to me in
the morning.
No, no no! It has to be now!
Im talking about big bucks! Savy?
Meet me in the yard in one hour
and bring the MARK-13 with you.
- The what?
- Oh no... the skull and bones
- No way Alvy! Forget it.
- Hear me out!
I cant talk on the phone... to many ears.
Meet me in one hour.

any powergrid, including the sun.
The MARK-13s strenght lies in its
multifacited combat systems.
Equipped with electronicly activated
weaponary and nightsights...
...the MARK-13 has a choice of using six
primary limbs and three auxiliary limbs.
More legs then a fucking spider.
See these mighty buildings. It all shall
be thrown down and shattered to splinters.
The earth will shake, rattle and roll. The
masses will go hungry, their bellies bloat.
These are the birth pains.
No flesh shall be spared.
Yeah, thats it brother.
You just keep walking away.
- Yeah.
- Hi baby.
Mo?

- Hello?
- Hello, this is Mo!
- Who is this?
I told you baby, this is Mo.
Look, I wanna come back.
Im ready to go again. Im hard
again just thinking about you baby.
What you say we try it up the ass, eh?
How about I fuck you with a string
of popcorn up your ass?
Who is this?
Then I pull it out real slow... pop by pop.
You think youd like that?
Think you ready to try the Hershey
Highway, eh? Fill you all the way, eh?
What do you say Jill?
Fuck yourself asshole!
I have a pain... here!
And I see... their... faces!
They are so small and yellow and black.
I want to squeez them!
These are fucking hippies!

You can call me Lincon or Link.
I just wanted to be sure you are alright.
Im fine! Look, my boyfriend is asleep
in the other room.
Your boyfriend?
So... I think you better go now!
I dont think to much of
his boyfriend of yours.
I dont see anything going on between you,
you know... nothing real, nothing permanent.
- Its really why I came here.
- God, get back!
Listen... I know alot about you.
I know things about you, that you
probably dont even... admit.
- You always been my favorite subject.
- Oh Jesus!
Oh, wow! What was that?
Theres a droid running crazy in my lounge.
- Thats okay, we can go to my place.
- Why wont this work?
Someones activated the emergency override,
you can only disengage from the main consol.
- How do you now? - I used to be
with the surveillance company...
...that installed all the locks and cameras
in this whole block a few years ago.
Thats how we know each other.
You made me a coffee while I was here.
- Black... two sugars?
- I dont remember.
- Its okay. I dont mind.
- Now what?
Sounds like something is overloading
the main powerframe.
- Well, look Mr... Weinberg.
- Lincon... you call me Link, please.
- Lincon. Can you get us out of here?
- Wheres the main terminal?
Its in the living room,
but you cant go in there.
Thats okay. Its alright,
I know what Im doing.
Come on, you can trust me.
Keep talking, so I know where you are.
Im right here.
Hello in there?
- Man, I bet that android is anywhere...
- Ouch! -Hey?
Lincon?
- Lincon?
- Its okay! Im alright!
Theres nothing in here!
- Whats his name?
- Whos?
- Your boyfriends.
- Moses.
Moses? Jesus, some name.
Hes not around very much, is he?
You ought to get somebody closer to home.
- Somebody, kind of like... a neighbour.
- Just fix the frickin' consol, okay!
You smoke alot of dope.
I see you.
Does it get your boyfirend hard or what?
I get people dope sometimes...
...when they come around to my place
and it gets them hard.
You can stop talking now.
What if I sing?
You want me to sing?
I dont really care,

Look. Im gonna make two things
very clear to you right now:
One... there is no other way
out of here...
...so that means
that droid is still in here somewhere.
And two...
You just want me to leave.
I just want you to open the door.
Why are you so afraid of me?
Im not afraid of you.
Two... my boyfriend is in the corps.
He just got back from the zone.
He just went out for a pack of cigarettes.
Any second he is going to walk through
that door.
And we dont want him to get the wrong idea!
Do we?
Check! Good thinking.
Okay, this should just about do it.
