Hot Pursuit (1987) Movie Script
Look! It's 10:22.
Anybody who doesn't have their lights
out is gonna get their butt's kicked.
Get off the phone! Get out of the shower!
Go, go, go.
Don't call back.
Just go to bed, man!
Just can't get enough of that stuff, huh?
Hey, man, life is chemistry.
Hey, give me half.
How come you drive an Alfa
Romeo, but you never have money?
Okay. In two days, I'll be eating fondue
at Stowe when I'm not cruisin' the slopes.
You're not gonna let me study, are you?
No, not even a little.
Thank you.
Forget about Stowe, man.
In two days, I'm gonna be cruisin'
through the Caribbean with Lori.
Oh, yeah, right.
That's gonna be fun.
You're gonna be with her pain-in-the-ass
sister and her mother and her father,
who we all know thinks you're a
totally inferior human being.
No, he doesn't. We're good friends.
Oh, yeah, right.
I can just hear him. "Dan, I can see
right through you, even if Lori can't.
You're gonna to try and impress me and
then worm your way into my family."
I've already wormed my way into your
family. Oh, Dan, you're so common.
Lori is a special kind
of person, and you're not.
- Mr. Cronenberg, are you hungry?
- Yeah.
Go crazy.
Good evening, sir. Got a
lot of studying to do?
Yeah.
Excuse me.
What are you doing?
Lori?
Hi, Danny. What are
you doin' here?
I came to see you.
School got out two days early. My
parents think I'm at Sarah Cavenaugh's.
Oh, no, no, no. This is not what I need.
I've got to study here.
I don't know this shit. You can't
do this to me. You gotta go.
Hmm.
When's the exam?
It's tomorrow.
You gotta go.
I know all about this stuff.
You do?
Come on.
I'll quiz you.
I've been worried about you.
Why do you worry about me?
I don't know. I mean, you're
stuck here with 400 guys,
workin' yourself to death,
nobody being nice to you.
In two days, we'll be
cruisin' to the Caribbean.
Are you ready for the
moon, the stars, the surf?
Yeah.
I can have you back by morning.
Back?
Back from what?
Um, two tickets to
The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
Hey, forget it.
I'm sorry. I know it's a stupid idea.
Well, come on.
The day after tomorrow we're
gonna be together for ten days.
It's all right.
Willie Castner gave 'em to me...
For helping him
with his floor exercises,
and I'm also sleeping with him.
That's very funny.
It's a very funny joke. Me, I'm
serious, slaving over chemistry...
Willie Castner's a fag.
Shit, I hate this place.
It's just a lousy exam. Tomorrow
morning it'll all be over.
Come on. I'll help you with this stuff.
Yeah, that's just what I need.
I need you to help me with this. Come
on, I'll never get any work done, Lori.
No, I'll be really quiet,
all right?
So, like, what are you underlining
right now? What are you doing?
This is everything
you should know, okay?
All right, you can stay. Will you promise
to be quiet? I'll be very quiet.
I won't say a word. You're
gonna get an "A" on this test.
It's good to see you.
Hey, no fooling around.
I'm the one on scholarship.
Come on.
Sorry.
You up for getting some pizza?
No. Look, Lori, I know you thought
it was a hot idea coming here,
and I really appreciate that
you've gone to all this trouble...
but the truth is I'm screwing you up.
Yeah, sort of.
I didn't mean it like that.
It's just this
place expects me to
regurgitate this garbage.
It's not one long gym class like
that country club you call a school.
For your information,
I happen to have a shot...
At third in our half of the state,
and I'm goddamn proud of it.
Don't get pissed off, all right?
I just need this grade, okay?
My parents aren't rolling in bucks. I can't
afford to switch schools like underwear.
Listen, Danny, I came down here because
I missed you. I wanted to cheer you up.
I invited you on this vacation so we could
be together, but you don't have to go.
Look, I wanna go. It's
just that I gotta
study, and all you wanna
do is go get pizza!
Okay, great! Study! I hope you get
a goddamn one hundred, really.
And I'll go for pizza and maybe I will
find out if Willie Castner is a fag.
Oh, that's very funny.
Lori.
Lori, come on!
God!
It's a very easy test.
My 16-year-old daughter
could handle it.
Mr. Kowalski, you didn't even... you
didn't even talk about this first one.
I don't have to talk about it.
It's in the book.
You're supposed
to read the book.
From the smile on your face, you
must have done very well, Dan.
Remember that spring
is a time of change.
A lot of those questions had the same
answers, right? What do you mean?
Like the seventies
were like all b's.
If I have to stay and take a
makeup, I'm gonna kill Kowalski.
How'd you do on the essay question?
Shh. Quiet, you two.
What essay question?
I can't see him. Probably
forgot we're coming.
Bill, you promised.
Maybe he chickened out.
I'll only be a second.
Okay, honey.
All right.
Danny, let's start from scratch.
I wasn't here the other night,
Willie Castner is a fag, and you're
seeing me for the first time.
Aren't you taking this?
This is my favorite shirt.
Come on. We're gonna
have a great time.
We're gonna be making love
under the stars.
I can't go.
I flunked chemistry. I gotta
stay and take a makeup.
That's very funny, Danny.
Yeah? Try 58.
- You're serious?
- I'm totally serious.
I'm gonna scream.
I bet my dad could talk to somebody.
No, don't tell your dad.
Are you kidding me?
He's right downstairs.
Well, just tell him I got sick
and I got the stomach flu.
You want me to tell him?
He's not gonna believe me.
Danny, they're gonna want to see you,
even if it's just to say good-bye.
I'm contagious.
Did you tell your mom? No, no, I'll just
stay and take the makeup next week.
That's them.
This isn't fair.
I'm not going.
No, you have to go.
Your parents would really
come after me if I did that.
Come on. Probably would
have been dumb anyway,
me with your mom
and dad and Ginger.
Come on. You really believe that?
Yeah. No.
This is my fault. How is it your fault?
Come on.
I should be able
to get a 60 on anything.
I'm a jerk.
I'm really sorry. I feel like shit.
That's all right.
I'll make this up to you though.
I promise.
I really love you, you know.
I love you too.
Write me a postcard.
Stop it.
Have fun.
Gotta go.
- Danny's not gonna make it.
- Why? What happened?
He's sick. Feels awful.
I think it's the flu.
Maybe the trip will make him feel
better, honey. I'll go talk to him.
No, he's in really bad shape.
He doesn't want to see anybody.
Must have been all the
pressure of the exams.
I remember what that is. As soon
as it's over, you just fall apart.
What a shame. Is it the
same flu Ginger had?
Is he puking? I did. Hi, Lori.
Hello, Mr. Cronenberg, Mrs.
Cronenberg. Hi, Mike.
It sure is a drag about Dan
flunking his chemistry exam.
I'd love to stay and take his place at
the makeup, but I gotta go to Stowe.
I'll see ya.
Yeah, Dan's got a stomach problem.
Daddy.
A lack of guts.
Can we please get out of here?
We're gonna miss the plane.
Come in.
Mr. Kowalski.
I was going to come
to your office, sir.
- I'm very disappointed in you, Dan.
- Yes, sir.
You're so bright, and
chemistry is so simple.
Action, reaction.
Yes, sir. You did fine all semester.
What happened?
Let me guess.
You spent the last forty-eight
hours studying. Ninety-six.
If you don't know it the night
before, you'll never know it.
I've heard that one before.
I just didn't trust myself.
How did this heart get
figured into your equation?
I put that there? Well,
I certainly didn't.
I guess I'm in love.
Ah ha ha, love.
The chemistry of life.
That's my girlfriend. We were
going to the Caribbean together.
She reminds me of my daughter.
Girls that pretty don't
like to be disappointed.
They want commitment.
Did you get
number 13 right, Dan?
You never put a number 13
on your tests. It's unlucky.
Well, I think in your case
it just might be lucky.
What about the formula
for, uh, caffeine?
Uh, C, H, N, O.
Mr. Kowalski.
You're late for a plane, boy.
Get the hell outta here.
Oh, thank you, sir!
Thank you, sir.
Everybody said you're a hard-ass.
I knew you were a good guy.
I don't believe that for one second.
Thanks a lot, Mr. Kowalski.
Stop them!
Stop the cab! Yeah!
Whoo!
Row ten, seat "C". Don't you want
to see where you were conceived?
On the plane? No, honey.
Laguna del Mar.
You started as a sparkle
in your mom's Margarita.
It really is a shame about Dan.
Lori really had her heart set on this.
I didn't mean to criticize the boy,
but perhaps this unfortunate incident
will give him a little backbone.
Hey, hey, hey,
what are you doing, huh?
Sorry.
Flight to Coradad, please. This is 121
domestic. You want 121 international.
Yes. It's right around
the corner.
Right around there.
When the sun begins
to set upon the island
And all the chores and
the work of day is done
Everybody head up
to the island, yeah
Up and down
it belongs to everyone
There we do our dance
Let the spirit go
Round the jungle I don't
worry hangin' down below
Everybody dance
Right up on the floor
He will follow she will
follow hangin' down below
Oh, limbo
Ay yi yi yi
Hello.
Is this Marina Towers?
Marina Towers?
Yeah? Okay.
Uh, I'd like to leave a message for
Lori Cronenberg. Is she there?
Oh, all right.
Well, then leave a message.
Uh, this is Dan Bartlett.
Just a minute. Just a sec.
Bartlett, right.
For Lori Cronenberg,
with a "C." Yes, right.
Tell her I'm in Porta Rosa,
and I'll be there A.S.A.P.
Yes, I'm here in Porta Rosa,
and I'll be there A.S.A.P.
Right. Just a sec. Okay, you got that?
Message for Cronenberg?
Okay, thanks.
It's all yours.
Taxi!
Can you take me to
the Marina Shores hotel?
Aw, man, you just stole my ride!
Terribly sorry.
Just watch out for the natives.
Bye-bye.
Thanks.
You crazy?
You'll get hit!
Look at this man! Hey, are you
guys from the Marina Shores hotel?
Your shirt.
Your shirt.
Hey, look, we're going that way, man.
We'll take you, if you like.
Cleon's gonna get us a couple
of jobs down there, man. What?
Come on. We're not tryin' to steal your
bag. We're tryin' to help you, man!
Come on, get in. No, no, no.
I'll just get a taxi.
Aw, man,
taxi take you too long, man!
This speed racer here. We'll get
you there tout suite. Come on!
Get in the back.
Well, I am in a rush.
Jump in. We're growing old.
Off we go, man!
What's your name?
Danny.
Thanks for the ride, you guys.
It's really beautiful around here.
So, Mr. Dan, this fine young
woman, she be Roxanne.
Cleon is driving.
Myself is Alphonso.
How's it goin', Alphonso?
Cool runnin', man.
Cleon. Hey, man, you
got any ludes, man?
No. Some good blow
maybe, huh, yeah?
No, no, no, no, no. You guys are
asking the wrong guy. Sorry.
Best I can do is cocktail
nuts from the airplane.
Come on! You guys always
snorting in the states.
We always hearing about it.
Yeah!
No, no, no! You guys
are always snorting.
I thought they
grow it here, right?
Slow down! Slow down! I want that one!
Right there!
Hey!
Hey, man, come on!
I thought you meant 'cause
I was stealing your woman.
All right, all right.
Shit, man, it's the roadblock.
Slow down, quick!
What's the problem, Alphonso?
Ganja, man!
What you doin', man?
Slow down, fool! Don't you
see it's the cops up there?
That whole bundle is ganja?
What's happening?
What are you guys doing?
- I have to get to the Marina!
- A shortcut, man.
Look, if you guys are kidnapping
me, nobody's gonna pay a cent!
We show you the real
Porta Rosa this way!
None of that first-class
bullshit, man!
Cleon, pull over
at the next pay phone.
I gotta call my girl, tell her
I'll be a couple of months late.
Hey, is she blonde, man?
Come on! They all blonde
in the states. I know that.
And here I thought you
want me to stay with you.
What? You? That's not true.
Aren't you his girl?
Oh, no, man!
You got it all wrong, man!
Man belong to the woman
But the woman
she don't belong to the man
Hey, man belong to the woman
But the woman
she don't belong to the man
Hey, man belong
to the woman
What you doing?
Wash the car!
You crazy?
Ah, shit.
Ah, man, you're crazy!
We'll never get her out!
Earth to Cleon!
So what's the plan, Cleon?
Wash the car, man.
Oh.
Come on, man, what do you say?
Let's go work on the car.
How long you guys
just planning to sit here?
As long as it takes, man.
This is fine shit!
Here. Suck on this.
No, no, no.
Man, not like this.
With the blade down
and then only half a flip.
Not around and round.
Hey! All right.
Way to go, man!
Ooh! Ain't she a honey?
Hey, come on, give me that!
Give me that! Look!
I don't think you guys understand.
I just wanna get to the Marina.
This has been a whole lot of fun, and
I think Roxanne is very beautiful.
It's been a fascinating cultural
experience, but I've got a boat to catch!
And I'm sure
if we just try again,
we can get the car out,
so get up.
I gotta get to the Marina!
Uh, this Marina.
What Marina?
- The one on your stupid shirt!
- Oh, that Marina!
You sure you don't want
to suck on this?
Why not?
You guys aren't planning on spending the
night here in the middle of nowhere?
No, man, we're not plannin' it.
We're just doin' it.
Go with the flow.
Hi.
Is it going to work?
It'll work.
Got a lever here,
got a counterbalance.
That minibus, see, the engine's not in
the front. It's in the back, right?
So if Pythagorean's theory
is correct,
we're gonna get this baby
out of the water.
I tell you, we'll get it out in the
morning. Quit foolin' with it!
Does that brain of yours scare
you as much as it scares me?
It must. I never thought
about it that way.
Well, you should! Roxanne,
step away from this thing.
It look dangerous.
Good night, Mr. Determined.
Good night.
Man, he always want to be admired.
Woman, she want to be loved.
Fool. He'll put
the Jeep on the moon.
Come on, come on, come on!
Hey, you all right, man?
Okay, we'll get it
in the morning.
Mmm

Thank you very much. All the bags went
on the boat? Everything. Yes, sir.
- Leave anything of mine?
- No. We took it all.
Should I check for my hat in here?
Hey!
Hey, honey, wait a minute!
Hey! Hey, honey,
where is that man of yours?
Get in the car. Hey, honey,
where's that man of yours?
I don't want those people
near my daughter.
We were just leaving. We just left him
awhile ago. We've been lookin' for him.
Homeboy just leave us, man.
He was with me all night. Hey, man,
we're not talkin' to you, man!
Come on!
Ah

No pun intended.
Hey, Dan, you just missed she!
What?
We'll catch her right now! I'm not
getting into that deathtrap again!
Oh, Dan, that girl of yours is
truly a beauty, man! It's too bad!
Look, I'm not takin' any
more shit from you guys.
Ah!
Well, I like that!
- Lori Cronenberg, please!
- I beg your pardon.
Cronenberg.
I'm sorry, sir. They
have checked out. What?
No, no, no, they couldn't have checked out.
See, I left a message.
What is the name, sir?
Bartlett.
Yes, sir. Dan Bartlett.
I knew it!
Thank you.
This is my message!
Alphonso, Cleon, Roxanne, wait!
I was just kidding!
There she is, hon,
the Crystal Slipper.
Captain Andrew, how are you?
This is my wife Buffy.
Hello. My daughters,
Ginger, Lori.
- My first mate, Chris.
- How are you? Hi.
You got your bathroom
and shower right here.
And this will be your stateroom.
This is great. Everything
on this boat is the best.
Remember that.
Okay.
Where do you want it?
On the bed's fine.
I'll bet it is.
It's even better than the pictures.
Oh, I know. Excuse me.
Isn't that Chris
a nice-looking young man, hmm?
Well, you can kiss Porta
Rosa good-bye. Yeah.
Hey, wait!
Hey, you guys!
It's the same guys from the lobby.
I don't believe it.
Lori, I know you're pretty, but this
is ridiculous. Must be my perfume.
Hey! Come back!
Hey! Come back!
No! No! No! No!
Shit! Shit! Shit!
Shit! Shit! Aah!
Shit! Shit!
Come back!
No! Come back, Dan.
They're gone.
Come on.
Dan, come on.
Hey, come back from there.
Come on, Dan.
Come on!
You can stay with us. We'll
show you a good time.
Hey, Dan, Dan, no.
No, no, no.
Come.
You never should have left without us.
Don't worry about it now.
Cheer up, huh? I should
have listened to you guys.
It's okay. You should
have listened.
Look, man, it didn't
work out and things,
so maybe you want to hang
out here for a while.
No. I'm just gonna go down the
beach and get a couple of drinks.
Thank you, guys, but you go on.
I'll talk to you later, Cleon.
Be cool runnin', man. Well,
it's been real real, man.
Listen, next time you want to be
smart, you think with your heart.
I'll see you around.
Okay.
Good-bye.
Good-bye,
Mr. Determined.
Okay. I'll see you guys
later, right?
Okay, Dan.
You guys are all right.
Hey, what is with all this?
What is it with this?
Rum straight up, please.
I got sandals
older than you, kid.
Look.
That's as old as I'm gonna get.
I just want a drink, and
then I'm gonna kill myself.
Yeah. Must've been
the glasses.
Help yourself.
It's a jungle out there, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Hey, come on, you guys. Time to
start thinking about going home.
Hey, school's out. I'm
not going home. Yeah.
Maybe I'll just go with the
flow for a couple of years.
Well, you won't be the first,
you won't be the last.
I'm looking for this guy.
Seen him?
Yeah. Signed on with that big
yacht that left this afternoon.
They were looking
for a new deckhand.
You remember
the name of the boat?
Uh...
Crystal Slipper?
That's it.
To the one that got away.
You after him too, kid?
Yeah.
My girl's on that boat. They're
headin' for Laguna del Mar.
That means they'll be
island-hopping.
The usual stopover
in Arena Blanca.
Why are you after the Crystal Slipper?
The guy owes me.
You in love with this girl?
In the worst way.
Oh.
How would you like
to sail with me?
Name's MacClaren.
They call me Mac.
Name's Dan, and they call me
Mr. Determined.
Okay then,
Mr. Determined.
You come with me. You'll
have the wind at your back.
We'll heel 'em over!
Take 'em by storm!
That's the way to win a woman.
No, no, no.
I don't think so.
And I don't know
thing-one about boats.
- You read Treasure Island, didn't you?
- Yeah.
I wrote a great book report too.
You'll do.
What's happening?
Oww!
We're at sea, and I'm on a ship.
Boat, kid.
The queen Mary's a ship.
Motorin' all night.
Caught the tide too.
We're lucky. We don't
hit any weather,
we're gonna catch them
by tomorrow.
Hey, kid, come on, you said
you wanted to join me. I did?
I couldn't talk you out of it.
Oh, man, did you try?
"Take 'em by storm," you said.
Hey, you were so anxious
to head out after them,
you didn't even give me time
to pick up the provisions.
Well, dinnertime. That's
enough for the fire.
If you can't stand the sight of
blood, stay out of the cabin.
I'm gonna get sick.
You gotta eat, and those birds taste great.
Are you cracked?
We gotta go back!
For Christ's sake!
You sound just like my old lady.
Where is your old lady?
Coming around El Salvador,
she pulled a knife on me,
so I coldcocked her with a frying pan.
People get pretty weird after a
while at sea, let me tell ya.
Say, aren't some of those birds endangered?
Yeah. They are now.
One of them is an imposter.
Isn't worth a shit.
I think he's half rooster.
Here, chickie!
Here, chickie, chickie, chickie.
Here, chickie. Here, chickie.
What do you know?
Spaghetti-o's!
The hell with him.
Where'd he go?
Goddamn it.
I told you you'd see blood.
Blends right in
with the tomato sauce.
- Where's the bathroom?
- "The head," kid.
On a boat, you say
"the head." Up front.
Bowsprit. That's where the mast
sticks out over the water.
Where?
It's called the ocean!
Don't forget
the first rule of sailing:
Never piss into the wind.
We're never gonna catch anybody on
this thing! We've gotta go back!
Forward, kid! Ever forward!
Come on!
A perfect ten.
I saw a jellyfish!
I hope you're not planning on
Lori saving you if you fall in.
Don't stay up too late, okay?
Good night, girls.
Good night, hon.
Good night, mom. Good night, dad.
Good night, Ginger.
See you in the morning, Chris.
Past your bedtime,
junior, isn't it?
Matter of fact, I usually stay
up and watch Cagney and Lacey.
Uh-huh.
Have it your way.
That douche bag!
He is, isn't he?
He's got a gun in his
cabin, you know.
You've been in his cabin? I've
been in everybody's cabin.
It's humongous!
Let's go.
You should see all the weird
stuff he's got in his closet.
Big knives and... listen, you go to bed.
I'll be in in a sec.
Hey!
You know, I just started
on this boat.
My last one was this
incredible 68-footer.
We got boarded by
Haitians off Corida.
They murdered three
people and raped a girl.
It was intense, let me tell ya.
I went over the side.
Anyway, they still haven't gotten the guys.
That's why I carry this.
Don't leave home without it.
I think I should be going now.
Hey, hey, look.
We're hot for each other,
all right?
I mean, I could tell from
the minute you got on board.
Anybody who could put their
body in those positions...
Has gotta be able to go
five ways while I'm going one.
Buffy, use the sunblock.
Look at your shoulders.
I did use it!
Oh, shit.
What? I didn't realize
the walls were so thin.
What do you mean? I can't help it.
I'm a screamer.
You are? Once I get
excited, I just can't stop.
I had to stop staying
over at my boyfriend's
house. I kept waking
up the neighbors.
I yell so loud,
he has to wear earplugs.
Oh, my love is
like a red, red Rose
So newly sprung in June
Oh, my love is like
a melody
That's sweetly played
in tune
So fair in love
Am I
And I will love thee still
my dear
Till all the seas
get dry
Are you armed...
With the wand of intuition?
No. You're stuck...
In some chauvinistic,
neural-imprinted tunnel of reality.
That's all they teach you
in fucking school.
Sooner or later, you're gonna be put
to the test. I was. Two days ago.
I flunked! No. I don't
mean some gibberish...
Written on a piece of paper.
I mean something that
shows what you got inside.
What you're made of down deep.
Here.
Some of us drink from
the fountain of knowledge.
Others gargle.
Man, you cut up a temple! Hell, no.
I made this myself.
You gotta come down here
for the right stone though.
Better than the real thing.
Intergalactic Rosetta Stone.
Yes.
It proves that aliens
brought life here to earth.
Someone is sure
gonna want this one.
Yeah, if they're nuts.
If they're nuts?
If they're nuts?
You're nuts. You're the one
who's stuck out here...
In the middle of the ocean.
What if I did kill my old lady?
What if I'm about to kill you? Maybe I
needed a deckhand and shanghaied you!
Relax, kid.
I'm just foolin' around.
Funny!
Thank you.
Here's to ya.
Hey, Mac! There they are!
See 'em? Right there!
No, to the right, to the right!
To the right, to the right!
- I thought you read Treasure Island?
- You bet your ass!
That... that's my woman off
the starboard bow! Come on!
The wind's coming
from that direction.
Oh, you ought to know,
Mr. Determined.
Go on, take the helm.
I'll get the sails up.
Oh, excellent! Cronenberg's
gonna be so impressed!
Yeah. Somebody's gonna be
mighty surprised to see me too.
Why don't you just call them on the radio?
Only one thing.
What? Radio took a bullet
off of Bahia Grande.
Chris, that's enough.
Yes, sir.
Just thought they'd like to see
our special transmitter.
It broadcasts the only truly
INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE: Lead.
Just shut it, okay, Chris?
Thanks.
Steer forward.
I don't want to alarm you, but
there have been boat hijackings.
I see.
Yeah, they grab the boat and use it for
drugs, and they kill all the people.
I saw it on cable.
Hey! Hey, they're
runnin' away from us!
Those jerks!
Goddamn! Mac,
what are we gonna do?
Danny! I think I saw Danny!
He's on that boat!
Lori, if you think about that for just one
second, you'll realize how silly you sound.
But it looked like
it could have been him.
Honey, you could hardly
see the boat from here.
Small boat warnings are out.
That's probably
why those guys are
in such a hurry.
Well, what about us? Oh, we'll
make to Marina Blanca, no problem.
Gets a bit thick, we go in
on instruments. Wonderful.
Couldn't we just go back and check?
Maybe they need some help.
Lori, my first concern
is your safety.
Whoever is handling that cutter out there
knows what they're doing, so don't worry.
Danny, take the tiller! I've got
to get some of this canvas down...
Before the wind
picks up anymore.
We're gonna lose them, you know!
Forget about them!
You'd better think
about numero uno.
Keep her pointed into the wind.
Right.
It's not gonna get
any worse, is it, Mac?
Get real, kid! We're
heading into a hurricane!
Take hold of that line.
We're in real trouble,
aren't we, Mac?
All right!
I'll take it alone!
We're gonna drown! Go
below and get some rest!
I'll call you
in a couple of hours!
Grab ahold!
One hand for yourself,
one hand for the boat!
Whoever finds this
note, my name is Daniel Bartlett.
I'm caught in a hurricane off the coast
of Laguna del Mar with a madman.
We're chasing
the Crystal Slipper.
Tell my mom and my dad
that I love them.
To Lori, I love you
always. Danny.
Come on, you banshee!
Is that the best you can do?
Aw, shit!
Please, dear god!
Please, hold on!
Mac, hold on just a minute!
I'm coming!
Mac!
Come on, you banshee!
Come on!
You wanna waste me?
Huh?
I'll sail this boat right
through your black heart,
straight to hell and back!
Is that the best you can do?
That's dog shit! Come on!
Ugh. We gotta be someplace
somewhere around here.
Someplace.
Mac, this is a place mat from
some lobster house. Look at this.
"This chart is not intended
for use in navigation."
Come on, kid. Don't believe
everything you read, huh?
What we gotta do is sail west!
We gotta hit land sometime.
That is, uh,
unless you drift through the Panama
Canal and you never notice it.
Kid,
you saved my life.
I pulled you in the
boat, that's all.
That's all?
Come on, now.
I'm thanking you.
Hmm? I mean it.
I owe you one. Hmm?
All right, thank you,
marine operator.
Hi, sweetie.
You missed a great time.
I wonder if the coast guard's
found anything.
Keep it up, Lori, and I swear
I'll have you institutionalized.
- She sounds sick.
- Don't worry, kid.
I call this engine old reliable.
It's got a little indigestion.
Jesus Christ!
Son of a bitch.
Damn it!
Hiya, folks!
How are ya?
Well, it looks like it's business
as usual here at Laguna del Mar.
Here I am,
2,000 miles from Dallas,
trying to reach out and touch somebody,
can't even use the goddamn telephone!
They say it's because of the storm.
Yeah.
Hey, you came in
on that big job out there.
Sure is a beauty. How much
did that set you back, pal?
Oh, plenty, pal.
Oh, this is Carmelina.
Carmelina, conga! Conga!
Wow! I'm on
this new banana diet.
Strictly bananas. Only thing
is, it gives you a headache.
Now I know why monkeys do this
all the time: Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Uh, thank you. Thank you very much.
No, I'll take care of it.
Here ya are. Here. Get
yourself a green card. Wow.
- Mind if we join you?
- Well, actually, um...
actually, it's our anniversary.
Yeah.
Yeah. I bet you wonder where
all those years went.
No, friend, we know exactly where
they went. Enjoy yourself.
Why don't we get together later
for a drink or something?
Just come on over and
ask for Victor Honeywell.
Okay!
Goddamn it.
Can't we just land?
Come on, kid.
I've been comin' out here
since white paint was cheap.
There's a port around here. We're
gonna hit it in a couple of days.
A couple of days?
That's it. That's it.
I'm getting off the boat.
Come on, kid, trust me. I haven't
steered you wrong so far, have I?
Trust you? Trust you?
You wanna know what I think?
I think you did shanghai me.
"Take 'em by storm"?
I never said any of that bullshit, did I?
Come on, admit it! Did I?
All right! But I had
a goddamn good reason!
Yeah! You didn't want to be
alone on this deathtrap!
Yeah, that too! I'm getting off.
This is too ridiculous!
I thought you said you wanted
to catch the Crystal Slipper.
We're not gonna catch
anybody in this boat!
I'm supposed to be on some tropical
island paradise, eatin' lavish spreads,
not on some
rat-infested hellhole...
With some unscrupulous,
buccaneer rogue type!
You listen, you dirty
son of a bitch!
I didn't wanna scare ya
your first time at sea!
Your friends on the Crystal Slipper
are gonna be in a lot of trouble!
You better stick with me!
You're telling me...
I should be worried about the
people on the Crystal Slipper?
You'll say anything
to keep me on this boat!
What are you, freakin' crazy?
At this rate, we'll be dead
long before we can catch them!
- Now look what you did!
- What I did?
If I wasn't arguing with you,
we wouldn't have hit
the goddamn reef!
That's it!
I'm gettin' off right now!
You're making a big mistake!
What? What?
No, no, no, wait, wait!
No. Dan Bartlett.
I've come on the ship.
Many bad waves!
Shit.
Wouldn't listen to me,
Mr. Determined.
Vamos!
For what?
What's happening?
I can explain! I can explain!
That wasn't my stuff, all right?
Do you understand
do you comprende?
Just let... can I say one...
sir, are you listening to me?
Sir, just let me say
one thing, please!
That stuff you got
off the boat's not mine!
Come on!
You're gonna get six years.
You're gonna get six years!
No, I've got to get to Laguna
del Mar tonight, all right?
Look, that's not my stuff, all right?
That's not my junk.
Do you have a captain? Does anybody
speak English in this dump?
Tell this guy...
That that isn't
my stuff, all right?
I came in on a boat,
and it's not my junk.
I said I speak English,
not Spanish.
All right,
let's get down to business.
Huh? I knew we could talk.
Damn it!
So what else is gonna
happen to me, huh?
Nothing. You're gonna sit
in this jail for six years.
And she helped me and my mom
out a lot when my parents split up.
Sometimes we go
jogging together.
Not so much, though, since I went
away to a school senior year.
Hey, did I tell you guys we went all
last year when I was at Wilmington High?
Those were the times. Cruising in
the Jeep, swimming in the falls.
Her father would kill me
if he knew I was here.
Hey, no offense, guys, but I'm
not supposed to be in jail.
He knew I'd wind up like this.
She loves nature.
We must have driven down and parked
on every country road in this state.
Every one.
Lori's got an excellent
sense of humor.
I mean, she'll do anything.
Anything?
Almost anything.
What's her ass like?
Hands off.
Comprendo?
Mac!
You're gettin' out of here, kid.
The shit-hole's comin' apart.
Oh, great.
Andale! Andale!
Meet you outside.
- Wait!
- What the hell are you doing? Danny!
Come on!
Danny!
Come on, Danny!
God damn it!
Thanks, Mac.
I warned ya.
I know that. Thank you.
Should have stuck with me.
Fire away!
It's your Jeep!
Is there a seat belt in here, Mac?
That's next year's model.
Small children!
I see 'em.
What's the plan here? Juevos
are on the fire, kid.
Best defense, good offense.
What?
What are you doing?
I owed you one. But we're
even now, kid, right? Right!
Okay.
The other side of that field
is the valle verde airstrip.
You can hop a plane to Laguna del Mar.
They'll be looking for us.
No, they won't. They'll be too busy
chasing the Jeep. What about you?
Don't worry about me.
If my hunch is right,
those friends of yours on the crystal
slipper could really need you.
You weren't bullshitting me
before, were you? Hell, no.
That guy Chris helped
hijack my boat last year.
I don't know if he's working crew
or he wants to pull the same stunt.
But if I were you, I'd get
my ass down there, okay?
I wish I could go with you, kid, but I'm
too busy keeping these guys off our tail.
So I'll see you
in hell, brother.
Do you speak English? Oh, yes, sir.
Can I help you?
I gotta get to Laguna del Mar. Can I
charge the fare against this ticket?
If you give it to me, I will be
most happy to do it for you.
Your ticket is fine. But the
noon flight is all full.
I can put you on my standby.
I may have an opening.
I will also make a reservation for
you on the next flight, okay?
Please, please. When is the next flight?
One week from today.
One week? I've gotta get to see
my girlfriend's family tonight.
It's muy imPortante. Oh,
dear, it is easter for us.
I think it is also easter
for you, yes? Si, si.
Excuse me.
Maybe something will happen.
I'll be waiting over here.
She wanted to have her baby
in Laguna del Mar. Take it.
I'm so glad we could
give you what you needed.
Hurry. Hurry. The plane is leaving.
Congratulations.
Quick. Go. Hurry.
Go, go, go!
I am so happy to have the
chance to service you.
Alto! Alto!
Sorry.
First time in a week
I got a break.
Good, huh?
Oh, gracias.
Pina colada.
Senorita.
- Senorita.
- Si?
Look, what was that all about?
We're going to vista del lago
instead of Laguna del Mar.
What?
Vista del lago? Why?
It's democracy.
No, it isn't.
- I gotta talk to the pilot.
- No, you cannot talk to the pilot.
Look what you started.
- All right, buddy, let's see what we can do.
- Come on.
Bomba!
Bomb?
Ha!
No way, Jose!
Just sit down and shut up!
Listen, doughboy.
We're not going to vista
del lago either, get me?
We're going...
we're going...
To Laguna del Mar!
Hey!
That's democracy! I'd like a pina
colada now, por favor. Move it!
Okay.
Lori, you're
not even dressed yet.
Mom and dad find out,
you're gonna be dust.
I can't take this shit anymore.
I'm gonna go call Danny. But
the lines are still down.
I can call from the boat
on the radio.
Captain Andrew?
Hello? It's Lori.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
What's wrong, honey?
Someone killed our captain.
My god, he's dead.
Oh, Buffy. Daddy,
captain Andrew's dead.
What? What? Someone shot him.
I found him on the boat.
It's true.
Honey. All right, look.
Everybody just be cool.
All we want is the boat.
Listen, you little dick. I
don't care what you want.
Don't point that gun
at my family.
Bill, you're missing
what's going on here.
This is my big goddamn score and you stuck
your fat asses right in the middle of it.
Come in.
Perfect timing.
Victor, thank god you're here. This
guy's killed the captain of our boat.
Kid, you're not gonna believe
what's gonna happen to you.
You're screwed. You've messed
with the wrong people this time.
Chris, you said they weren't
gonna go near the goddamn boat.
Now we got a big goddamn mess.
I'm looking for the Cronenbergs.
Can you ring their room, please?
Who?
Cronenbergs.
House phone. Gracias.
House phone works good.
Sure as shit we can't take them through
the crowd out there at gunpoint.
What? Why not? I'll stick the
gun in the little girl's back.
Believe me, they're not gonna try anything.
Haven't you learned anything?
When 30 people see us running
away with the Cronenbergs,
who the hell do you think
they're gonna come after?
Who's that?
Oh, it's our neighbors
from next door.
They're coming over
to have dinner with us.
If I don't answer,
they'll come over right away.
Then they're dead meat too.
Maybe your friends
are in the fiesta.
- The fiesta by the sea.
- Thank you.
All right,
you're packing your things.
You're leaving.
You don't like it here.
My family's worth a hell of a lot more
than some boat. How much do you want?
What are we supposed to do, take a
personal check? All right, put that down.
Rico. Carmelina. Sir?
Help them get
their stuff packed.
You like it?
Yeah.
You can have it.
Really? Thanks.
Lori!
I swear to god, if you touch
any of my family again,
I'll kill you, you son of a bitch.
Back off, Billy boy.
Hey, get that stuff packed.
Get another Jeep
and bring it around the back.
Chris, you, Tommy ray and
Carmelina go out to the boat.
If anyone sees you, you're the crew
showing the boat to some customers.
Rico and I will meet you at the pickup.
Tommy ray knows where it is.
You guys should get there first,
if you don't screw it up!
Why don't you just drop us
on the beach somewhere?
Smart girl. I bet you
get all a's in class.
Keep going. I
said keep going now.
You and the girl
in the first car.
All right, let's get started.
All right, move it.
Move it!
Would you pull the line up?
We've gotta get out of here.
Where's the rum on this ship?
I need a drink.
Come on. Don't start
drinking this shit.
Your father is going to dump
that whole family at sea. It makes me sick.
The Cronenbergs are assholes anyway.
Will you forget them?
I'll find a bottle myself.
Is this all that is left
of the captain?
Uh-uh. He's in the closet.
Come on, Chris.
Let's have some fun.
I'm tired of your father.
He's an old man. Forget it.
It's that girl, isn't it? That
tight-assed little rich girl.
Shut up.
She'll never screw you.
- Hey, maybe she already has.
- She can't do what I can.
You're just my old man's little whore,
Carmelina. That's all you're good for.
I'm the captain now.
Remember that.
Six feet,
five, five.
That's close enough. The
tide must be coming in.
Here.
Take one of these.
Goddamn! Listen
to me, all right?
I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't
even know who you are. Get up.
Move. Move!
What's the trick
to the machine gun?
You shove it up your ass
and pull the trigger.
Listen, man, after what
I've been through in
the last week, you don't
wanna piss me off.
Just tell me how it works.
You got your magazine,
pull the bolt.
If anything happens to the
Cronenbergs, I'm gonna come back,
I'm gonna shove a grenade
down your throat.
Aw, shit, you're the boyfriend.
That's right.
Get up. Get up!
All right,
get in the fish locker.
You're starting to stink.
Hello. Hello. I don't know
if anyone can hear us.
This is the boat
the Crystal Slipper.
We're about an hour west
of Laguna del Mar.
The captain has been murdered.
They're trying to kill us.
I repeat... they're trying to kill us.
Send somebody out here.
Daddy, if we get on that
boat again, it's all over.
It'll be all right, honey.
We just have to stick together.
Victor, why don't you just dump them in
the jungle and sail away just like that?
Tommy, what the hell is she doing here?
She should be on the goddamn boat.
Jeez. Come on.
Get 'em to load that stuff.
Lori.
Oh, my god, Danny.
It's a miracle.
Well, only if we can get out of here.
Are you all right?
Yeah. We gotta
get help now.
This is all the help
we're gonna get.
Carmelina,
where's that other girl?
All right, we blow up that boat.
As they're coming down to check it out, we
get your family and haul ass out of here.
Shit! I'll never make it
back up in time.
I only got a couple of seconds
after I pull the pin.
What if we throw from
the top of the house?
How am I gonna get up there? How do you
think I got in your chemistry lab?
Give me this.
Straight ahead.
Through the door.
Where's Lori?
- What the hell was that?
- I'm gonna put a firecracker up his ass.
Why don't you just calm down? We'll
move the damn boxes. Let's go.
Where's that girl?
All right, I want all this stuff moved out.
Everybody go down to the beach.
Pick up a bundle
and move it down to the beach.
Tommy, I want you to get them
to move their asses!
That means you, Billy boy,
and that means you, miss.
Victor, just leave them
here and sail away.
Leave them here and sail away? I
can't leave them here and sail away!
And where the hell's that girl?
What the hell...
Tommy, you come with me.
Rico, you watch them!
Holy shit!
Dan! I've got a
Jeep outside, sir.
If we all leave now, we won't get shot.
Okay, let's go.
Come on!
Move it! Move it!
Let's go.
Get down! Bill.
Bill, here's another clip.
I'll tell you how it works.
Dan, I was shitting in a hole
in Korea before you were born.
Oh.
Look out!
Get out. Everybody get out of the car.
Get out of the car.
Go down that road. It'll take
you to the beach and the boat.
Danny, what are you doing? It'll work.
They'll follow the Jeep. Go!
No, Danny. I wanna go with you.
Later.
Thanks, Dan.
Come on.
Best defense.
Best defense.
Ya-hoo!
I can't believe after
all we've been through,
we've got to get on a plane and
go back to school. It's true.
It looks like we're almost
out of here, thank god.
Dan, I just want you to know, from
now on you're part of this family.
And I think we're damn
lucky to have you. Thanks.
Hey, that's a pretty little boat out there,
isn't it? She's brand-new, up for charter.
Buffy and I were trying
to think what we could
do to show our
appreciation to you two.
I decided,
if you want to, that is...
you two cruise up the coast for a
couple of days, meet us in cabo.
No? Bill! Yeah. I chartered
that boat for you.
And I found the perfect skipper.
I met this fellow in the bar. Turns out
he and I were in the war together.
Danny, you will love him.
I just got filled in on your
accomplishments, young man.
And you too, young lady.
Captain MacClaren knew
all about those people.
They've been pirating boats for years.
That's right.
That bunch got started with my boat.
All I can say is, well,
it'll be my pleasure
to give them a great cruise.
Usually, I stick
to the big yachts.
But in this case, it would be an honor.
And don't worry, bill.
I'll make sure that everything
stays above board.
What did you say
your name was? Don?
Danny.
Danny.
Danny, why don't you
and Lori get your gear?
If we hurry, we can make
the afternoon tide.
Oh!
Yeah!
You think you can sail
this boat, kid?
I read treasure island, right?
You'll do.
- Mac!
- Ever forward!
I'm not proud
I was wrong
And the truth
is hard to take
I felt sure we had enough
But our love
went overboard
Lifeboat lies
lost at sea
I've been trying
to reach your shore
Waves of doubt
keep drowning me
All the dreams
that we were building
We never fulfilled them
Could be better
Should be better
Oh
Lessons in love
For restless eyes
Egos burn
And the mold
is hard to break
Now we've waded in
too deep
And love is overboard
Heavy hearts
token words
All the hopes I ever had
Fade like footprints
in the sand
All the homes
that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better
Should be better
Lessons in love
If we lose
the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it
We could use it
Yeah
Lessons in love
Lost without love
Lessons in love
When will you ever learn
Lessons in love
When there's
nowhere left to turn
Lessons in love
Don't let your spirit burn
Lessons in love
I'll wait till you return
Anybody who doesn't have their lights
out is gonna get their butt's kicked.
Get off the phone! Get out of the shower!
Go, go, go.
Don't call back.
Just go to bed, man!
Just can't get enough of that stuff, huh?
Hey, man, life is chemistry.
Hey, give me half.
How come you drive an Alfa
Romeo, but you never have money?
Okay. In two days, I'll be eating fondue
at Stowe when I'm not cruisin' the slopes.
You're not gonna let me study, are you?
No, not even a little.
Thank you.
Forget about Stowe, man.
In two days, I'm gonna be cruisin'
through the Caribbean with Lori.
Oh, yeah, right.
That's gonna be fun.
You're gonna be with her pain-in-the-ass
sister and her mother and her father,
who we all know thinks you're a
totally inferior human being.
No, he doesn't. We're good friends.
Oh, yeah, right.
I can just hear him. "Dan, I can see
right through you, even if Lori can't.
You're gonna to try and impress me and
then worm your way into my family."
I've already wormed my way into your
family. Oh, Dan, you're so common.
Lori is a special kind
of person, and you're not.
- Mr. Cronenberg, are you hungry?
- Yeah.
Go crazy.
Good evening, sir. Got a
lot of studying to do?
Yeah.
Excuse me.
What are you doing?
Lori?
Hi, Danny. What are
you doin' here?
I came to see you.
School got out two days early. My
parents think I'm at Sarah Cavenaugh's.
Oh, no, no, no. This is not what I need.
I've got to study here.
I don't know this shit. You can't
do this to me. You gotta go.
Hmm.
When's the exam?
It's tomorrow.
You gotta go.
I know all about this stuff.
You do?
Come on.
I'll quiz you.
I've been worried about you.
Why do you worry about me?
I don't know. I mean, you're
stuck here with 400 guys,
workin' yourself to death,
nobody being nice to you.
In two days, we'll be
cruisin' to the Caribbean.
Are you ready for the
moon, the stars, the surf?
Yeah.
I can have you back by morning.
Back?
Back from what?
Um, two tickets to
The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
Hey, forget it.
I'm sorry. I know it's a stupid idea.
Well, come on.
The day after tomorrow we're
gonna be together for ten days.
It's all right.
Willie Castner gave 'em to me...
For helping him
with his floor exercises,
and I'm also sleeping with him.
That's very funny.
It's a very funny joke. Me, I'm
serious, slaving over chemistry...
Willie Castner's a fag.
Shit, I hate this place.
It's just a lousy exam. Tomorrow
morning it'll all be over.
Come on. I'll help you with this stuff.
Yeah, that's just what I need.
I need you to help me with this. Come
on, I'll never get any work done, Lori.
No, I'll be really quiet,
all right?
So, like, what are you underlining
right now? What are you doing?
This is everything
you should know, okay?
All right, you can stay. Will you promise
to be quiet? I'll be very quiet.
I won't say a word. You're
gonna get an "A" on this test.
It's good to see you.
Hey, no fooling around.
I'm the one on scholarship.
Come on.
Sorry.
You up for getting some pizza?
No. Look, Lori, I know you thought
it was a hot idea coming here,
and I really appreciate that
you've gone to all this trouble...
but the truth is I'm screwing you up.
Yeah, sort of.
I didn't mean it like that.
It's just this
place expects me to
regurgitate this garbage.
It's not one long gym class like
that country club you call a school.
For your information,
I happen to have a shot...
At third in our half of the state,
and I'm goddamn proud of it.
Don't get pissed off, all right?
I just need this grade, okay?
My parents aren't rolling in bucks. I can't
afford to switch schools like underwear.
Listen, Danny, I came down here because
I missed you. I wanted to cheer you up.
I invited you on this vacation so we could
be together, but you don't have to go.
Look, I wanna go. It's
just that I gotta
study, and all you wanna
do is go get pizza!
Okay, great! Study! I hope you get
a goddamn one hundred, really.
And I'll go for pizza and maybe I will
find out if Willie Castner is a fag.
Oh, that's very funny.
Lori.
Lori, come on!
God!
It's a very easy test.
My 16-year-old daughter
could handle it.
Mr. Kowalski, you didn't even... you
didn't even talk about this first one.
I don't have to talk about it.
It's in the book.
You're supposed
to read the book.
From the smile on your face, you
must have done very well, Dan.
Remember that spring
is a time of change.
A lot of those questions had the same
answers, right? What do you mean?
Like the seventies
were like all b's.
If I have to stay and take a
makeup, I'm gonna kill Kowalski.
How'd you do on the essay question?
Shh. Quiet, you two.
What essay question?
I can't see him. Probably
forgot we're coming.
Bill, you promised.
Maybe he chickened out.
I'll only be a second.
Okay, honey.
All right.
Danny, let's start from scratch.
I wasn't here the other night,
Willie Castner is a fag, and you're
seeing me for the first time.
Aren't you taking this?
This is my favorite shirt.
Come on. We're gonna
have a great time.
We're gonna be making love
under the stars.
I can't go.
I flunked chemistry. I gotta
stay and take a makeup.
That's very funny, Danny.
Yeah? Try 58.
- You're serious?
- I'm totally serious.
I'm gonna scream.
I bet my dad could talk to somebody.
No, don't tell your dad.
Are you kidding me?
He's right downstairs.
Well, just tell him I got sick
and I got the stomach flu.
You want me to tell him?
He's not gonna believe me.
Danny, they're gonna want to see you,
even if it's just to say good-bye.
I'm contagious.
Did you tell your mom? No, no, I'll just
stay and take the makeup next week.
That's them.
This isn't fair.
I'm not going.
No, you have to go.
Your parents would really
come after me if I did that.
Come on. Probably would
have been dumb anyway,
me with your mom
and dad and Ginger.
Come on. You really believe that?
Yeah. No.
This is my fault. How is it your fault?
Come on.
I should be able
to get a 60 on anything.
I'm a jerk.
I'm really sorry. I feel like shit.
That's all right.
I'll make this up to you though.
I promise.
I really love you, you know.
I love you too.
Write me a postcard.
Stop it.
Have fun.
Gotta go.
- Danny's not gonna make it.
- Why? What happened?
He's sick. Feels awful.
I think it's the flu.
Maybe the trip will make him feel
better, honey. I'll go talk to him.
No, he's in really bad shape.
He doesn't want to see anybody.
Must have been all the
pressure of the exams.
I remember what that is. As soon
as it's over, you just fall apart.
What a shame. Is it the
same flu Ginger had?
Is he puking? I did. Hi, Lori.
Hello, Mr. Cronenberg, Mrs.
Cronenberg. Hi, Mike.
It sure is a drag about Dan
flunking his chemistry exam.
I'd love to stay and take his place at
the makeup, but I gotta go to Stowe.
I'll see ya.
Yeah, Dan's got a stomach problem.
Daddy.
A lack of guts.
Can we please get out of here?
We're gonna miss the plane.
Come in.
Mr. Kowalski.
I was going to come
to your office, sir.
- I'm very disappointed in you, Dan.
- Yes, sir.
You're so bright, and
chemistry is so simple.
Action, reaction.
Yes, sir. You did fine all semester.
What happened?
Let me guess.
You spent the last forty-eight
hours studying. Ninety-six.
If you don't know it the night
before, you'll never know it.
I've heard that one before.
I just didn't trust myself.
How did this heart get
figured into your equation?
I put that there? Well,
I certainly didn't.
I guess I'm in love.
Ah ha ha, love.
The chemistry of life.
That's my girlfriend. We were
going to the Caribbean together.
She reminds me of my daughter.
Girls that pretty don't
like to be disappointed.
They want commitment.
Did you get
number 13 right, Dan?
You never put a number 13
on your tests. It's unlucky.
Well, I think in your case
it just might be lucky.
What about the formula
for, uh, caffeine?
Uh, C, H, N, O.
Mr. Kowalski.
You're late for a plane, boy.
Get the hell outta here.
Oh, thank you, sir!
Thank you, sir.
Everybody said you're a hard-ass.
I knew you were a good guy.
I don't believe that for one second.
Thanks a lot, Mr. Kowalski.
Stop them!
Stop the cab! Yeah!
Whoo!
Row ten, seat "C". Don't you want
to see where you were conceived?
On the plane? No, honey.
Laguna del Mar.
You started as a sparkle
in your mom's Margarita.
It really is a shame about Dan.
Lori really had her heart set on this.
I didn't mean to criticize the boy,
but perhaps this unfortunate incident
will give him a little backbone.
Hey, hey, hey,
what are you doing, huh?
Sorry.
Flight to Coradad, please. This is 121
domestic. You want 121 international.
Yes. It's right around
the corner.
Right around there.
When the sun begins
to set upon the island
And all the chores and
the work of day is done
Everybody head up
to the island, yeah
Up and down
it belongs to everyone
There we do our dance
Let the spirit go
Round the jungle I don't
worry hangin' down below
Everybody dance
Right up on the floor
He will follow she will
follow hangin' down below
Oh, limbo
Ay yi yi yi
Hello.
Is this Marina Towers?
Marina Towers?
Yeah? Okay.
Uh, I'd like to leave a message for
Lori Cronenberg. Is she there?
Oh, all right.
Well, then leave a message.
Uh, this is Dan Bartlett.
Just a minute. Just a sec.
Bartlett, right.
For Lori Cronenberg,
with a "C." Yes, right.
Tell her I'm in Porta Rosa,
and I'll be there A.S.A.P.
Yes, I'm here in Porta Rosa,
and I'll be there A.S.A.P.
Right. Just a sec. Okay, you got that?
Message for Cronenberg?
Okay, thanks.
It's all yours.
Taxi!
Can you take me to
the Marina Shores hotel?
Aw, man, you just stole my ride!
Terribly sorry.
Just watch out for the natives.
Bye-bye.
Thanks.
You crazy?
You'll get hit!
Look at this man! Hey, are you
guys from the Marina Shores hotel?
Your shirt.
Your shirt.
Hey, look, we're going that way, man.
We'll take you, if you like.
Cleon's gonna get us a couple
of jobs down there, man. What?
Come on. We're not tryin' to steal your
bag. We're tryin' to help you, man!
Come on, get in. No, no, no.
I'll just get a taxi.
Aw, man,
taxi take you too long, man!
This speed racer here. We'll get
you there tout suite. Come on!
Get in the back.
Well, I am in a rush.
Jump in. We're growing old.
Off we go, man!
What's your name?
Danny.
Thanks for the ride, you guys.
It's really beautiful around here.
So, Mr. Dan, this fine young
woman, she be Roxanne.
Cleon is driving.
Myself is Alphonso.
How's it goin', Alphonso?
Cool runnin', man.
Cleon. Hey, man, you
got any ludes, man?
No. Some good blow
maybe, huh, yeah?
No, no, no, no, no. You guys are
asking the wrong guy. Sorry.
Best I can do is cocktail
nuts from the airplane.
Come on! You guys always
snorting in the states.
We always hearing about it.
Yeah!
No, no, no! You guys
are always snorting.
I thought they
grow it here, right?
Slow down! Slow down! I want that one!
Right there!
Hey!
Hey, man, come on!
I thought you meant 'cause
I was stealing your woman.
All right, all right.
Shit, man, it's the roadblock.
Slow down, quick!
What's the problem, Alphonso?
Ganja, man!
What you doin', man?
Slow down, fool! Don't you
see it's the cops up there?
That whole bundle is ganja?
What's happening?
What are you guys doing?
- I have to get to the Marina!
- A shortcut, man.
Look, if you guys are kidnapping
me, nobody's gonna pay a cent!
We show you the real
Porta Rosa this way!
None of that first-class
bullshit, man!
Cleon, pull over
at the next pay phone.
I gotta call my girl, tell her
I'll be a couple of months late.
Hey, is she blonde, man?
Come on! They all blonde
in the states. I know that.
And here I thought you
want me to stay with you.
What? You? That's not true.
Aren't you his girl?
Oh, no, man!
You got it all wrong, man!
Man belong to the woman
But the woman
she don't belong to the man
Hey, man belong to the woman
But the woman
she don't belong to the man
Hey, man belong
to the woman
What you doing?
Wash the car!
You crazy?
Ah, shit.
Ah, man, you're crazy!
We'll never get her out!
Earth to Cleon!
So what's the plan, Cleon?
Wash the car, man.
Oh.
Come on, man, what do you say?
Let's go work on the car.
How long you guys
just planning to sit here?
As long as it takes, man.
This is fine shit!
Here. Suck on this.
No, no, no.
Man, not like this.
With the blade down
and then only half a flip.
Not around and round.
Hey! All right.
Way to go, man!
Ooh! Ain't she a honey?
Hey, come on, give me that!
Give me that! Look!
I don't think you guys understand.
I just wanna get to the Marina.
This has been a whole lot of fun, and
I think Roxanne is very beautiful.
It's been a fascinating cultural
experience, but I've got a boat to catch!
And I'm sure
if we just try again,
we can get the car out,
so get up.
I gotta get to the Marina!
Uh, this Marina.
What Marina?
- The one on your stupid shirt!
- Oh, that Marina!
You sure you don't want
to suck on this?
Why not?
You guys aren't planning on spending the
night here in the middle of nowhere?
No, man, we're not plannin' it.
We're just doin' it.
Go with the flow.
Hi.
Is it going to work?
It'll work.
Got a lever here,
got a counterbalance.
That minibus, see, the engine's not in
the front. It's in the back, right?
So if Pythagorean's theory
is correct,
we're gonna get this baby
out of the water.
I tell you, we'll get it out in the
morning. Quit foolin' with it!
Does that brain of yours scare
you as much as it scares me?
It must. I never thought
about it that way.
Well, you should! Roxanne,
step away from this thing.
It look dangerous.
Good night, Mr. Determined.
Good night.
Man, he always want to be admired.
Woman, she want to be loved.
Fool. He'll put
the Jeep on the moon.
Come on, come on, come on!
Hey, you all right, man?
Okay, we'll get it
in the morning.
Mmm
Awee ma way, awee ma way
awee ma way, awee ma way
Awee ma way, awee ma way

Awee ma way, awee ma way
awee ma way, awee ma way

In the jungle
the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle
the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
Awee ma way, awee ma way

Thank you very much. All the bags went
on the boat? Everything. Yes, sir.
- Leave anything of mine?
- No. We took it all.
Should I check for my hat in here?
Hey!
Hey, honey, wait a minute!
Hey! Hey, honey,
where is that man of yours?
Get in the car. Hey, honey,
where's that man of yours?
I don't want those people
near my daughter.
We were just leaving. We just left him
awhile ago. We've been lookin' for him.
Homeboy just leave us, man.
He was with me all night. Hey, man,
we're not talkin' to you, man!
Come on!
Ah
Awee ma way, awee ma way
awee ma way, awee ma way
Awee ma way, awee ma way
awee ma way, awee ma way
Awee ma way
Awee ma way

Yeah!
Awee ma way
No pun intended.
Hey, Dan, you just missed she!
What?
We'll catch her right now! I'm not
getting into that deathtrap again!
Oh, Dan, that girl of yours is
truly a beauty, man! It's too bad!
Look, I'm not takin' any
more shit from you guys.
Ah!
Well, I like that!
- Lori Cronenberg, please!
- I beg your pardon.
Cronenberg.
I'm sorry, sir. They
have checked out. What?
No, no, no, they couldn't have checked out.
See, I left a message.
What is the name, sir?
Bartlett.
Yes, sir. Dan Bartlett.
I knew it!
Thank you.
This is my message!
Alphonso, Cleon, Roxanne, wait!
I was just kidding!
There she is, hon,
the Crystal Slipper.
Captain Andrew, how are you?
This is my wife Buffy.
Hello. My daughters,
Ginger, Lori.
- My first mate, Chris.
- How are you? Hi.
You got your bathroom
and shower right here.
And this will be your stateroom.
This is great. Everything
on this boat is the best.
Remember that.
Okay.
Where do you want it?
On the bed's fine.
I'll bet it is.
It's even better than the pictures.
Oh, I know. Excuse me.
Isn't that Chris
a nice-looking young man, hmm?
Well, you can kiss Porta
Rosa good-bye. Yeah.
Hey, wait!
Hey, you guys!
It's the same guys from the lobby.
I don't believe it.
Lori, I know you're pretty, but this
is ridiculous. Must be my perfume.
Hey! Come back!
Hey! Come back!
No! No! No! No!
Shit! Shit! Shit!
Shit! Shit! Aah!
Shit! Shit!
Come back!
No! Come back, Dan.
They're gone.
Come on.
Dan, come on.
Hey, come back from there.
Come on, Dan.
Come on!
You can stay with us. We'll
show you a good time.
Hey, Dan, Dan, no.
No, no, no.
Come.
You never should have left without us.
Don't worry about it now.
Cheer up, huh? I should
have listened to you guys.
It's okay. You should
have listened.
Look, man, it didn't
work out and things,
so maybe you want to hang
out here for a while.
No. I'm just gonna go down the
beach and get a couple of drinks.
Thank you, guys, but you go on.
I'll talk to you later, Cleon.
Be cool runnin', man. Well,
it's been real real, man.
Listen, next time you want to be
smart, you think with your heart.
I'll see you around.
Okay.
Good-bye.
Good-bye,
Mr. Determined.
Okay. I'll see you guys
later, right?
Okay, Dan.
You guys are all right.
Hey, what is with all this?
What is it with this?
Rum straight up, please.
I got sandals
older than you, kid.
Look.
That's as old as I'm gonna get.
I just want a drink, and
then I'm gonna kill myself.
Yeah. Must've been
the glasses.
Help yourself.
It's a jungle out there, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Hey, come on, you guys. Time to
start thinking about going home.
Hey, school's out. I'm
not going home. Yeah.
Maybe I'll just go with the
flow for a couple of years.
Well, you won't be the first,
you won't be the last.
I'm looking for this guy.
Seen him?
Yeah. Signed on with that big
yacht that left this afternoon.
They were looking
for a new deckhand.
You remember
the name of the boat?
Uh...
Crystal Slipper?
That's it.
To the one that got away.
You after him too, kid?
Yeah.
My girl's on that boat. They're
headin' for Laguna del Mar.
That means they'll be
island-hopping.
The usual stopover
in Arena Blanca.
Why are you after the Crystal Slipper?
The guy owes me.
You in love with this girl?
In the worst way.
Oh.
How would you like
to sail with me?
Name's MacClaren.
They call me Mac.
Name's Dan, and they call me
Mr. Determined.
Okay then,
Mr. Determined.
You come with me. You'll
have the wind at your back.
We'll heel 'em over!
Take 'em by storm!
That's the way to win a woman.
No, no, no.
I don't think so.
And I don't know
thing-one about boats.
- You read Treasure Island, didn't you?
- Yeah.
I wrote a great book report too.
You'll do.
What's happening?
Oww!
We're at sea, and I'm on a ship.
Boat, kid.
The queen Mary's a ship.
Motorin' all night.
Caught the tide too.
We're lucky. We don't
hit any weather,
we're gonna catch them
by tomorrow.
Hey, kid, come on, you said
you wanted to join me. I did?
I couldn't talk you out of it.
Oh, man, did you try?
"Take 'em by storm," you said.
Hey, you were so anxious
to head out after them,
you didn't even give me time
to pick up the provisions.
Well, dinnertime. That's
enough for the fire.
If you can't stand the sight of
blood, stay out of the cabin.
I'm gonna get sick.
You gotta eat, and those birds taste great.
Are you cracked?
We gotta go back!
For Christ's sake!
You sound just like my old lady.
Where is your old lady?
Coming around El Salvador,
she pulled a knife on me,
so I coldcocked her with a frying pan.
People get pretty weird after a
while at sea, let me tell ya.
Say, aren't some of those birds endangered?
Yeah. They are now.
One of them is an imposter.
Isn't worth a shit.
I think he's half rooster.
Here, chickie!
Here, chickie, chickie, chickie.
Here, chickie. Here, chickie.
What do you know?
Spaghetti-o's!
The hell with him.
Where'd he go?
Goddamn it.
I told you you'd see blood.
Blends right in
with the tomato sauce.
- Where's the bathroom?
- "The head," kid.
On a boat, you say
"the head." Up front.
Bowsprit. That's where the mast
sticks out over the water.
Where?
It's called the ocean!
Don't forget
the first rule of sailing:
Never piss into the wind.
We're never gonna catch anybody on
this thing! We've gotta go back!
Forward, kid! Ever forward!
Come on!
A perfect ten.
I saw a jellyfish!
I hope you're not planning on
Lori saving you if you fall in.
Don't stay up too late, okay?
Good night, girls.
Good night, hon.
Good night, mom. Good night, dad.
Good night, Ginger.
See you in the morning, Chris.
Past your bedtime,
junior, isn't it?
Matter of fact, I usually stay
up and watch Cagney and Lacey.
Uh-huh.
Have it your way.
That douche bag!
He is, isn't he?
He's got a gun in his
cabin, you know.
You've been in his cabin? I've
been in everybody's cabin.
It's humongous!
Let's go.
You should see all the weird
stuff he's got in his closet.
Big knives and... listen, you go to bed.
I'll be in in a sec.
Hey!
You know, I just started
on this boat.
My last one was this
incredible 68-footer.
We got boarded by
Haitians off Corida.
They murdered three
people and raped a girl.
It was intense, let me tell ya.
I went over the side.
Anyway, they still haven't gotten the guys.
That's why I carry this.
Don't leave home without it.
I think I should be going now.
Hey, hey, look.
We're hot for each other,
all right?
I mean, I could tell from
the minute you got on board.
Anybody who could put their
body in those positions...
Has gotta be able to go
five ways while I'm going one.
Buffy, use the sunblock.
Look at your shoulders.
I did use it!
Oh, shit.
What? I didn't realize
the walls were so thin.
What do you mean? I can't help it.
I'm a screamer.
You are? Once I get
excited, I just can't stop.
I had to stop staying
over at my boyfriend's
house. I kept waking
up the neighbors.
I yell so loud,
he has to wear earplugs.
Oh, my love is
like a red, red Rose
So newly sprung in June
Oh, my love is like
a melody
That's sweetly played
in tune
So fair in love
Am I
And I will love thee still
my dear
Till all the seas
get dry
Are you armed...
With the wand of intuition?
No. You're stuck...
In some chauvinistic,
neural-imprinted tunnel of reality.
That's all they teach you
in fucking school.
Sooner or later, you're gonna be put
to the test. I was. Two days ago.
I flunked! No. I don't
mean some gibberish...
Written on a piece of paper.
I mean something that
shows what you got inside.
What you're made of down deep.
Here.
Some of us drink from
the fountain of knowledge.
Others gargle.
Man, you cut up a temple! Hell, no.
I made this myself.
You gotta come down here
for the right stone though.
Better than the real thing.
Intergalactic Rosetta Stone.
Yes.
It proves that aliens
brought life here to earth.
Someone is sure
gonna want this one.
Yeah, if they're nuts.
If they're nuts?
If they're nuts?
You're nuts. You're the one
who's stuck out here...
In the middle of the ocean.
What if I did kill my old lady?
What if I'm about to kill you? Maybe I
needed a deckhand and shanghaied you!
Relax, kid.
I'm just foolin' around.
Funny!
Thank you.
Here's to ya.
Hey, Mac! There they are!
See 'em? Right there!
No, to the right, to the right!
To the right, to the right!
- I thought you read Treasure Island?
- You bet your ass!
That... that's my woman off
the starboard bow! Come on!
The wind's coming
from that direction.
Oh, you ought to know,
Mr. Determined.
Go on, take the helm.
I'll get the sails up.
Oh, excellent! Cronenberg's
gonna be so impressed!
Yeah. Somebody's gonna be
mighty surprised to see me too.
Why don't you just call them on the radio?
Only one thing.
What? Radio took a bullet
off of Bahia Grande.
Chris, that's enough.
Yes, sir.
Just thought they'd like to see
our special transmitter.
It broadcasts the only truly
INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE: Lead.
Just shut it, okay, Chris?
Thanks.
Steer forward.
I don't want to alarm you, but
there have been boat hijackings.
I see.
Yeah, they grab the boat and use it for
drugs, and they kill all the people.
I saw it on cable.
Hey! Hey, they're
runnin' away from us!
Those jerks!
Goddamn! Mac,
what are we gonna do?
Danny! I think I saw Danny!
He's on that boat!
Lori, if you think about that for just one
second, you'll realize how silly you sound.
But it looked like
it could have been him.
Honey, you could hardly
see the boat from here.
Small boat warnings are out.
That's probably
why those guys are
in such a hurry.
Well, what about us? Oh, we'll
make to Marina Blanca, no problem.
Gets a bit thick, we go in
on instruments. Wonderful.
Couldn't we just go back and check?
Maybe they need some help.
Lori, my first concern
is your safety.
Whoever is handling that cutter out there
knows what they're doing, so don't worry.
Danny, take the tiller! I've got
to get some of this canvas down...
Before the wind
picks up anymore.
We're gonna lose them, you know!
Forget about them!
You'd better think
about numero uno.
Keep her pointed into the wind.
Right.
It's not gonna get
any worse, is it, Mac?
Get real, kid! We're
heading into a hurricane!
Take hold of that line.
We're in real trouble,
aren't we, Mac?
All right!
I'll take it alone!
We're gonna drown! Go
below and get some rest!
I'll call you
in a couple of hours!
Grab ahold!
One hand for yourself,
one hand for the boat!
Whoever finds this
note, my name is Daniel Bartlett.
I'm caught in a hurricane off the coast
of Laguna del Mar with a madman.
We're chasing
the Crystal Slipper.
Tell my mom and my dad
that I love them.
To Lori, I love you
always. Danny.
Come on, you banshee!
Is that the best you can do?
Aw, shit!
Please, dear god!
Please, hold on!
Mac, hold on just a minute!
I'm coming!
Mac!
Come on, you banshee!
Come on!
You wanna waste me?
Huh?
I'll sail this boat right
through your black heart,
straight to hell and back!
Is that the best you can do?
That's dog shit! Come on!
Ugh. We gotta be someplace
somewhere around here.
Someplace.
Mac, this is a place mat from
some lobster house. Look at this.
"This chart is not intended
for use in navigation."
Come on, kid. Don't believe
everything you read, huh?
What we gotta do is sail west!
We gotta hit land sometime.
That is, uh,
unless you drift through the Panama
Canal and you never notice it.
Kid,
you saved my life.
I pulled you in the
boat, that's all.
That's all?
Come on, now.
I'm thanking you.
Hmm? I mean it.
I owe you one. Hmm?
All right, thank you,
marine operator.
Hi, sweetie.
You missed a great time.
I wonder if the coast guard's
found anything.
Keep it up, Lori, and I swear
I'll have you institutionalized.
- She sounds sick.
- Don't worry, kid.
I call this engine old reliable.
It's got a little indigestion.
Jesus Christ!
Son of a bitch.
Damn it!
Hiya, folks!
How are ya?
Well, it looks like it's business
as usual here at Laguna del Mar.
Here I am,
2,000 miles from Dallas,
trying to reach out and touch somebody,
can't even use the goddamn telephone!
They say it's because of the storm.
Yeah.
Hey, you came in
on that big job out there.
Sure is a beauty. How much
did that set you back, pal?
Oh, plenty, pal.
Oh, this is Carmelina.
Carmelina, conga! Conga!
Wow! I'm on
this new banana diet.
Strictly bananas. Only thing
is, it gives you a headache.
Now I know why monkeys do this
all the time: Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Uh, thank you. Thank you very much.
No, I'll take care of it.
Here ya are. Here. Get
yourself a green card. Wow.
- Mind if we join you?
- Well, actually, um...
actually, it's our anniversary.
Yeah.
Yeah. I bet you wonder where
all those years went.
No, friend, we know exactly where
they went. Enjoy yourself.
Why don't we get together later
for a drink or something?
Just come on over and
ask for Victor Honeywell.
Okay!
Goddamn it.
Can't we just land?
Come on, kid.
I've been comin' out here
since white paint was cheap.
There's a port around here. We're
gonna hit it in a couple of days.
A couple of days?
That's it. That's it.
I'm getting off the boat.
Come on, kid, trust me. I haven't
steered you wrong so far, have I?
Trust you? Trust you?
You wanna know what I think?
I think you did shanghai me.
"Take 'em by storm"?
I never said any of that bullshit, did I?
Come on, admit it! Did I?
All right! But I had
a goddamn good reason!
Yeah! You didn't want to be
alone on this deathtrap!
Yeah, that too! I'm getting off.
This is too ridiculous!
I thought you said you wanted
to catch the Crystal Slipper.
We're not gonna catch
anybody in this boat!
I'm supposed to be on some tropical
island paradise, eatin' lavish spreads,
not on some
rat-infested hellhole...
With some unscrupulous,
buccaneer rogue type!
You listen, you dirty
son of a bitch!
I didn't wanna scare ya
your first time at sea!
Your friends on the Crystal Slipper
are gonna be in a lot of trouble!
You better stick with me!
You're telling me...
I should be worried about the
people on the Crystal Slipper?
You'll say anything
to keep me on this boat!
What are you, freakin' crazy?
At this rate, we'll be dead
long before we can catch them!
- Now look what you did!
- What I did?
If I wasn't arguing with you,
we wouldn't have hit
the goddamn reef!
That's it!
I'm gettin' off right now!
You're making a big mistake!
What? What?
No, no, no, wait, wait!
No. Dan Bartlett.
I've come on the ship.
Many bad waves!
Shit.
Wouldn't listen to me,
Mr. Determined.
Vamos!
For what?
What's happening?
I can explain! I can explain!
That wasn't my stuff, all right?
Do you understand
do you comprende?
Just let... can I say one...
sir, are you listening to me?
Sir, just let me say
one thing, please!
That stuff you got
off the boat's not mine!
Come on!
You're gonna get six years.
You're gonna get six years!
No, I've got to get to Laguna
del Mar tonight, all right?
Look, that's not my stuff, all right?
That's not my junk.
Do you have a captain? Does anybody
speak English in this dump?
Tell this guy...
That that isn't
my stuff, all right?
I came in on a boat,
and it's not my junk.
I said I speak English,
not Spanish.
All right,
let's get down to business.
Huh? I knew we could talk.
Damn it!
So what else is gonna
happen to me, huh?
Nothing. You're gonna sit
in this jail for six years.
And she helped me and my mom
out a lot when my parents split up.
Sometimes we go
jogging together.
Not so much, though, since I went
away to a school senior year.
Hey, did I tell you guys we went all
last year when I was at Wilmington High?
Those were the times. Cruising in
the Jeep, swimming in the falls.
Her father would kill me
if he knew I was here.
Hey, no offense, guys, but I'm
not supposed to be in jail.
He knew I'd wind up like this.
She loves nature.
We must have driven down and parked
on every country road in this state.
Every one.
Lori's got an excellent
sense of humor.
I mean, she'll do anything.
Anything?
Almost anything.
What's her ass like?
Hands off.
Comprendo?
Mac!
You're gettin' out of here, kid.
The shit-hole's comin' apart.
Oh, great.
Andale! Andale!
Meet you outside.
- Wait!
- What the hell are you doing? Danny!
Come on!
Danny!
Come on, Danny!
God damn it!
Thanks, Mac.
I warned ya.
I know that. Thank you.
Should have stuck with me.
Fire away!
It's your Jeep!
Is there a seat belt in here, Mac?
That's next year's model.
Small children!
I see 'em.
What's the plan here? Juevos
are on the fire, kid.
Best defense, good offense.
What?
What are you doing?
I owed you one. But we're
even now, kid, right? Right!
Okay.
The other side of that field
is the valle verde airstrip.
You can hop a plane to Laguna del Mar.
They'll be looking for us.
No, they won't. They'll be too busy
chasing the Jeep. What about you?
Don't worry about me.
If my hunch is right,
those friends of yours on the crystal
slipper could really need you.
You weren't bullshitting me
before, were you? Hell, no.
That guy Chris helped
hijack my boat last year.
I don't know if he's working crew
or he wants to pull the same stunt.
But if I were you, I'd get
my ass down there, okay?
I wish I could go with you, kid, but I'm
too busy keeping these guys off our tail.
So I'll see you
in hell, brother.
Do you speak English? Oh, yes, sir.
Can I help you?
I gotta get to Laguna del Mar. Can I
charge the fare against this ticket?
If you give it to me, I will be
most happy to do it for you.
Your ticket is fine. But the
noon flight is all full.
I can put you on my standby.
I may have an opening.
I will also make a reservation for
you on the next flight, okay?
Please, please. When is the next flight?
One week from today.
One week? I've gotta get to see
my girlfriend's family tonight.
It's muy imPortante. Oh,
dear, it is easter for us.
I think it is also easter
for you, yes? Si, si.
Excuse me.
Maybe something will happen.
I'll be waiting over here.
She wanted to have her baby
in Laguna del Mar. Take it.
I'm so glad we could
give you what you needed.
Hurry. Hurry. The plane is leaving.
Congratulations.
Quick. Go. Hurry.
Go, go, go!
I am so happy to have the
chance to service you.
Alto! Alto!
Sorry.
First time in a week
I got a break.
Good, huh?
Oh, gracias.
Pina colada.
Senorita.
- Senorita.
- Si?
Look, what was that all about?
We're going to vista del lago
instead of Laguna del Mar.
What?
Vista del lago? Why?
It's democracy.
No, it isn't.
- I gotta talk to the pilot.
- No, you cannot talk to the pilot.
Look what you started.
- All right, buddy, let's see what we can do.
- Come on.
Bomba!
Bomb?
Ha!
No way, Jose!
Just sit down and shut up!
Listen, doughboy.
We're not going to vista
del lago either, get me?
We're going...
we're going...
To Laguna del Mar!
Hey!
That's democracy! I'd like a pina
colada now, por favor. Move it!
Okay.
Lori, you're
not even dressed yet.
Mom and dad find out,
you're gonna be dust.
I can't take this shit anymore.
I'm gonna go call Danny. But
the lines are still down.
I can call from the boat
on the radio.
Captain Andrew?
Hello? It's Lori.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
What's wrong, honey?
Someone killed our captain.
My god, he's dead.
Oh, Buffy. Daddy,
captain Andrew's dead.
What? What? Someone shot him.
I found him on the boat.
It's true.
Honey. All right, look.
Everybody just be cool.
All we want is the boat.
Listen, you little dick. I
don't care what you want.
Don't point that gun
at my family.
Bill, you're missing
what's going on here.
This is my big goddamn score and you stuck
your fat asses right in the middle of it.
Come in.
Perfect timing.
Victor, thank god you're here. This
guy's killed the captain of our boat.
Kid, you're not gonna believe
what's gonna happen to you.
You're screwed. You've messed
with the wrong people this time.
Chris, you said they weren't
gonna go near the goddamn boat.
Now we got a big goddamn mess.
I'm looking for the Cronenbergs.
Can you ring their room, please?
Who?
Cronenbergs.
House phone. Gracias.
House phone works good.
Sure as shit we can't take them through
the crowd out there at gunpoint.
What? Why not? I'll stick the
gun in the little girl's back.
Believe me, they're not gonna try anything.
Haven't you learned anything?
When 30 people see us running
away with the Cronenbergs,
who the hell do you think
they're gonna come after?
Who's that?
Oh, it's our neighbors
from next door.
They're coming over
to have dinner with us.
If I don't answer,
they'll come over right away.
Then they're dead meat too.
Maybe your friends
are in the fiesta.
- The fiesta by the sea.
- Thank you.
All right,
you're packing your things.
You're leaving.
You don't like it here.
My family's worth a hell of a lot more
than some boat. How much do you want?
What are we supposed to do, take a
personal check? All right, put that down.
Rico. Carmelina. Sir?
Help them get
their stuff packed.
You like it?
Yeah.
You can have it.
Really? Thanks.
Lori!
I swear to god, if you touch
any of my family again,
I'll kill you, you son of a bitch.
Back off, Billy boy.
Hey, get that stuff packed.
Get another Jeep
and bring it around the back.
Chris, you, Tommy ray and
Carmelina go out to the boat.
If anyone sees you, you're the crew
showing the boat to some customers.
Rico and I will meet you at the pickup.
Tommy ray knows where it is.
You guys should get there first,
if you don't screw it up!
Why don't you just drop us
on the beach somewhere?
Smart girl. I bet you
get all a's in class.
Keep going. I
said keep going now.
You and the girl
in the first car.
All right, let's get started.
All right, move it.
Move it!
Would you pull the line up?
We've gotta get out of here.
Where's the rum on this ship?
I need a drink.
Come on. Don't start
drinking this shit.
Your father is going to dump
that whole family at sea. It makes me sick.
The Cronenbergs are assholes anyway.
Will you forget them?
I'll find a bottle myself.
Is this all that is left
of the captain?
Uh-uh. He's in the closet.
Come on, Chris.
Let's have some fun.
I'm tired of your father.
He's an old man. Forget it.
It's that girl, isn't it? That
tight-assed little rich girl.
Shut up.
She'll never screw you.
- Hey, maybe she already has.
- She can't do what I can.
You're just my old man's little whore,
Carmelina. That's all you're good for.
I'm the captain now.
Remember that.
Six feet,
five, five.
That's close enough. The
tide must be coming in.
Here.
Take one of these.
Goddamn! Listen
to me, all right?
I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't
even know who you are. Get up.
Move. Move!
What's the trick
to the machine gun?
You shove it up your ass
and pull the trigger.
Listen, man, after what
I've been through in
the last week, you don't
wanna piss me off.
Just tell me how it works.
You got your magazine,
pull the bolt.
If anything happens to the
Cronenbergs, I'm gonna come back,
I'm gonna shove a grenade
down your throat.
Aw, shit, you're the boyfriend.
That's right.
Get up. Get up!
All right,
get in the fish locker.
You're starting to stink.
Hello. Hello. I don't know
if anyone can hear us.
This is the boat
the Crystal Slipper.
We're about an hour west
of Laguna del Mar.
The captain has been murdered.
They're trying to kill us.
I repeat... they're trying to kill us.
Send somebody out here.
Daddy, if we get on that
boat again, it's all over.
It'll be all right, honey.
We just have to stick together.
Victor, why don't you just dump them in
the jungle and sail away just like that?
Tommy, what the hell is she doing here?
She should be on the goddamn boat.
Jeez. Come on.
Get 'em to load that stuff.
Lori.
Oh, my god, Danny.
It's a miracle.
Well, only if we can get out of here.
Are you all right?
Yeah. We gotta
get help now.
This is all the help
we're gonna get.
Carmelina,
where's that other girl?
All right, we blow up that boat.
As they're coming down to check it out, we
get your family and haul ass out of here.
Shit! I'll never make it
back up in time.
I only got a couple of seconds
after I pull the pin.
What if we throw from
the top of the house?
How am I gonna get up there? How do you
think I got in your chemistry lab?
Give me this.
Straight ahead.
Through the door.
Where's Lori?
- What the hell was that?
- I'm gonna put a firecracker up his ass.
Why don't you just calm down? We'll
move the damn boxes. Let's go.
Where's that girl?
All right, I want all this stuff moved out.
Everybody go down to the beach.
Pick up a bundle
and move it down to the beach.
Tommy, I want you to get them
to move their asses!
That means you, Billy boy,
and that means you, miss.
Victor, just leave them
here and sail away.
Leave them here and sail away? I
can't leave them here and sail away!
And where the hell's that girl?
What the hell...
Tommy, you come with me.
Rico, you watch them!
Holy shit!
Dan! I've got a
Jeep outside, sir.
If we all leave now, we won't get shot.
Okay, let's go.
Come on!
Move it! Move it!
Let's go.
Get down! Bill.
Bill, here's another clip.
I'll tell you how it works.
Dan, I was shitting in a hole
in Korea before you were born.
Oh.
Look out!
Get out. Everybody get out of the car.
Get out of the car.
Go down that road. It'll take
you to the beach and the boat.
Danny, what are you doing? It'll work.
They'll follow the Jeep. Go!
No, Danny. I wanna go with you.
Later.
Thanks, Dan.
Come on.
Best defense.
Best defense.
Ya-hoo!
I can't believe after
all we've been through,
we've got to get on a plane and
go back to school. It's true.
It looks like we're almost
out of here, thank god.
Dan, I just want you to know, from
now on you're part of this family.
And I think we're damn
lucky to have you. Thanks.
Hey, that's a pretty little boat out there,
isn't it? She's brand-new, up for charter.
Buffy and I were trying
to think what we could
do to show our
appreciation to you two.
I decided,
if you want to, that is...
you two cruise up the coast for a
couple of days, meet us in cabo.
No? Bill! Yeah. I chartered
that boat for you.
And I found the perfect skipper.
I met this fellow in the bar. Turns out
he and I were in the war together.
Danny, you will love him.
I just got filled in on your
accomplishments, young man.
And you too, young lady.
Captain MacClaren knew
all about those people.
They've been pirating boats for years.
That's right.
That bunch got started with my boat.
All I can say is, well,
it'll be my pleasure
to give them a great cruise.
Usually, I stick
to the big yachts.
But in this case, it would be an honor.
And don't worry, bill.
I'll make sure that everything
stays above board.
What did you say
your name was? Don?
Danny.
Danny.
Danny, why don't you
and Lori get your gear?
If we hurry, we can make
the afternoon tide.
Oh!
Yeah!
You think you can sail
this boat, kid?
I read treasure island, right?
You'll do.
- Mac!
- Ever forward!
I'm not proud
I was wrong
And the truth
is hard to take
I felt sure we had enough
But our love
went overboard
Lifeboat lies
lost at sea
I've been trying
to reach your shore
Waves of doubt
keep drowning me
All the dreams
that we were building
We never fulfilled them
Could be better
Should be better
Oh
Lessons in love
For restless eyes
Egos burn
And the mold
is hard to break
Now we've waded in
too deep
And love is overboard
Heavy hearts
token words
All the hopes I ever had
Fade like footprints
in the sand
All the homes
that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better
Should be better
Lessons in love
If we lose
the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it
We could use it
Yeah
Lessons in love
Lost without love
Lessons in love
When will you ever learn
Lessons in love
When there's
nowhere left to turn
Lessons in love
Don't let your spirit burn
Lessons in love
I'll wait till you return
