John Woo's Once  A Thief
Episode 5: Mac Daddy

$1.3 million in gold bullion. Our cut would be 40%.
You can't cheat me any more.

Mac: Aldabra. It's the island time forgot. It's off the coast of Mozambique. You'd
        love it.
Li Ann: I've never heard of it.
Mac: Two weeks. What do you think?
Victor: Like you can afford it.
Mac: I have but one thing to say to that. Psychotic beekeepers.
Li Ann: The Sigvottsen case?
Victor: Not the bribe money.
Li Ann; You didn't turn it in?
Mac: Nobody asked me.
Victor: Listen, give it back, man. Trust me, you'll only get burned.
Li Ann: Mac, that's $20,000.
Mac:  Who deserves it most, huh? Well, some of us deserve it. So as I was saying,
        Aldabra.
Victor: Hey, heads up, heads up. One... And two.
Li Ann:  Plus a driver.
Mac: Let's take them.
Victor: No. We're supposed to follow them.
Mac: We haven't seen any action in weeks.
Victor: No, forget it.
Mac: Are we dressed for driving or fighting?
Li Ann: Mac, we're going to follow orders, all right?
Mac: All right, fine, I'll take them.
Victor: No!

Mac: Hey, fellows, what say we open that truck together?
Guy: Who are you?
Mac: Hear you got some nice weapons. Like that stuff. Let's see.
Guy: You're supposed to have a gun or something?
Mac: I got one. But I don't need it. I've got my hands. Who's first? Come on, hit
        me. come on, try and hit me. Whaa! Come on, hit me. Come on, watch this.
        Oh! Oh!
Victor: Sometimes he's not quite as good as he thinks he is.
Li Ann:  I'd better get him out of this.
Victor: I got the driver.
Mac: Help.
Victor: Hey, where are you going? You got leafs tickets or what?
Mac: Your kung fu is quite good.

Victor: This is supposed to be a weapons job. What's in there?
Driver: I don't know. They're paying me to pick it up.
Mac: Oh, those look like lungs. Are those lungs?
Victor: No, they're not-- oh, hey. Why would anybody be smuggling lungs?
Li Ann: Because they're human lungs.

Action!
 

Mr. Ramsay Sr.: They were somewhat estranged. The old man took off years ago. Sent him
        postcards from exotic locales and such. But he made a great deal of money
        before his death. His dying wish was that his son, Mac, should inherit it all,
        no matter how hard it was to find him.
Woman: Wow! Ok, uh, he lived on Queen's Quay or -- I don't know -- Queen's Landing. I
            had a lot of champagne that night.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Which is only appropriate, my dear -- your beauty sparkles as does the finest
        champagne.
Woman: [ laughing ] That was charming. You know, I wrote down his address somewhere.
            Give me a minute, ok?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Ok. Excuse me. I'm so sorry.
Director: For what?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: For keeping you waiting.
Director: I'm not waiting for anyone.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Oh, on the contrary. You've been waiting years for someone who truly
                          understands you.
Director: If I ever meet that person, they won't live very long.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: It's perfectly obvious to me that under all that leather is a great deal more
                          leather. I'm certain we have a great deal in common. Perhaps we'll meet again.
Woman: [ laughing ] It was Queen's Quay.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: You, my dear, are a peach.
Woman: Listen, um, tell Mac, hi, from Sherry.

Assistant: Shh. Shh. Yeah.
[ music ]
Mr.Stone: Rum. [ hacking cough ] I told you, no operettas after diner. They make me cough.
Assistant: This isn't operetta. And music doesn't make you cough. Those cigarettes do.
Mr. Stone: When I want crap from you, I'll squeeze your head.
Assistant: That is well beneath your standard of abuse, Mr. Stone, which is usually impeccable.
Mr. Stone: Yeah, well, you try breathing with these lungs, and we'll check out your mood.
                 Where the hell are my new ones?
Assistant: The shipment was intercepted. We're trying to find out who took them.
Mr. Stone: I want those lungs, and I want them now! What's so hard about finding a pair
                of lungs, anyway? Everybody's got 'em.

Victor: The truck driver said he was to drop his cargo off at some beauty supply
            store. We turned the place over -- nothing. I thought we'd be up to our elbows
            in livers and lungs.
Mac: Ok, enough, enough.
Victor: What's the matter, Mac? Didn't you sign your organ donor cards -- you know
            they'll take your lungs, your eyes, your brain if they can find it.
Director: Settle, my angels, settle. The organs are harvested in Asia. China, Thailand,
             the Philippines among other places. Sometimes they're purchased from willing
            donors. Sometimes the donors are not so willing. Executions are a big source.
             If the supply is low, the number of death sentences goes up.
Li Ann: Who's buying them?
Director: People who are very sick and very wealthy. Waiting for a legitimate donor can
             take years sometimes.
Mac: So why were we looking for weapons?
Director: Good question. Our source is usually impeccable. We got word that the drop was
             from Harvey Stone. I hope I don't need to explain who he is.
Mac: The arms dealer?
Director; There doesn't seem to be any connection to Stone. So for now, our job is to
            find out who's performing these illegal organ transplants and shut down the
            operation, so to speak.
Mac: So, listen, uh, I've been feeling a little bit under the weather lately. What
         do you feel about a little furlough? 'Cause I know Li Ann needs a vacation.
          Aldabra.
Director: Yes, she does, and she's going to get one. Healing Soul spa and retreat. It's
                a luxury facility just outside of town. Our phone records tell us that Healing
                Soul and the warehouse were in constant communication. Here's the man who runs
                the spa, Dr. Adam Petrosian. Graduated med school 10 years ago, but never
                practised -- instead he opened this place and started catering to the
                marvellously rich. Check in there in one hour. Victor, I want you around for
                backup -- find a suitable cover, and, Mac--
Mac: You want me to take a nice long vacation -- I know it.
Director: We're releasing the driver of the truck. I want you to tail him. See what
                happens. But no interventions. I want information, not a body count, is that
                clear? You have a few battle scars. They certainly make you look more
                masculine. They might even help to dispel some of those rumours that are
                floating around here about you. Now, Mac, I read your report on that psychotic
                beekeeper thing. The, uh, Sigvottsen case, I believe. I was very impressed. It
                was very thorough. Now get out there and try not to cough up your lunch.

Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Eureka! Son!
Mac: Dad?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: My beautiful boy! Ha, how long has it been? Come here and give your old man a hug.
 

Mr. Ramsay Sr.: $1.3 million in gold bullion. Our cut will be 40%.
Mac: Right.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: You don't believe me.
Mac: Of course I do. Whose play is it?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: South American General who was smuggling gold out of his country's treasury.
                          There was a coup -- the General had to head for the hills, as it were. And so
                          now he needs someone to go on in there and get it out. A skilled pilot with a
                          small seaplane.  Voila, it's perfect.
Mac: Where do I come in?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Need 20,000 for the plane.
Mac; Oh.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: We split 50-50. Look, it can't miss.
Mac: Sorry, there's no way.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Why not?
Mac: I don't have the money. I don't have the money. Yes, I do have the money.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: I knew it.
Mac: But it's not exactly mine, and I'm not going to give it to you anyway.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: I understand completely. No, no, truly, I do. I haven't been much of a father,
                          have I? I was never there when you needed me. Oh, god. I'm as rotten as my own
                          old man. I'm sorry, son...for everything.
Mac: Dad. This isn't like the oil fields in Indonesia, is it? You remember, the
        ones that were filled with carbolic acid.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: It's as sure a thing as I've ever seen.
Mac: Mom left you 'cause of your sure things.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Lillian?
Mac: Anita. Lillian was your third wife. My mom's Anita, number two, remember?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Of course I do. She's a marvellous woman. Built like a goddess. Oh, and the
                          stamina, my god! The woman was insatiable. There-- you see, I always--
Mac: You abandoned me.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: I most certainly did not. You ran away.
Mac: Why didn't you look for me?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: In Hong Kong?  There isn't a square foot of available real estate, let alone a
                          brash young man determined not to be found. You wanted to strike out on your
                          own. I had no right to interfere. When I saw you'd hooked up with the Tang
                          family, I knew my work was done -- so, about my plan.
Mac: You can't cheat me any more. No more, nobody can. I look out for number one
        now, just like you taught me.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Fantastic! This is better than I could have hoped. You saw through my
                          deception as thought it were a transparent shower curtain. You passed the
                          test. What a team we'll make.
Mac: What are you talking about?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: I am talking about you, my son, your moxy, your style, your intuition --
                          you've got it. Oh, I've been waiting years for a partner like you.
Mac: Didn't you hear what I said?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: I've been planning a sting for many years, bigger than anything I've ever
                          handled. Billions of dollars, literally. I can't wait to tell you.
Mac: I can't talk about this right now. I have to go to work.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Fine. Let's have lunch later on. I'll make Lobster Newburg and tell you all
                          about it.
Mac: Where are you staying?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Well, uh, here, of course. We are family. I'll have lunch waiting for you on
                          the table. Be here at 2:00.

Adam: My mission is to help maximize human potential. Sure, we have the latest
           exercise machines, manicures, shiatsu massage. So do a lot of other spas. What
           we have here is purpose. And that purpose is to help you reconnect with
           yourself. Why are you here, Miss Chen?
Li Ann: I just thought a few days of rest would be nice.
Adam: Rest, yes, some people say that to me. "Adam, I'm tired; I need a rest."
           "Adam, I want to get into shape." "I want to lose a few pounds." "I want to be
           pampered." and all that's well and good, but isn't there something more? Isn't
           there something deeper that you're really looking for? Hmm?
Li Ann: I don't know.
Adam: Wouldn't you like to feel alive again? Wouldn't you like to feel the
           excitement of each new day the way it felt when you were a child?
Li Ann: I guess so.
Adam: That's what we have to offer here at healing soul. Exercise, diet,
            hydrotherapy, massage, all of it designed to free the inner you, the real you.
            This way. I've had clients tell me that their time at Healing Soul has changed
            their lives. I hope you'll feel the same way when your stay with us is done,
            Phyllis. May I call you Phyllis?
Li Ann: Of course. I hope I'll feel the same way too, Dr. Petrosian. Can I see the
            rest of the facility?
Adam: Absolutely. Lucille, could you have Rod meet us at the patio?
Faye: This is really unbelievable. I will not be kept waiting any longer.
Adam: Faye, are we breathing?
Faye: I'm breathing, I'm breathing. Doctor, we have to talk right now.
Adam: Of course, Faye. Come, sit down. If you wouldn't mind excusing us, Rod will be
           out momentarily.
Faye: Ok.
Adam: Thank you.
Faye: Doctor, this is simply not good enough. I can't wait another week. That was
        not our agreement.
Adam: Faye, I'm not hearing a lot of trust. What we do is hard enough. But without
            trust--
Faye: Doctor, I am not the one who is screwing up here. Are you hearing me?

Mac: Great, right on time. The guy's in the apartment on the far left, second
        floor. Watch him, make sure no one bombs him. I don't know.
Dobrinsky: How long you going to be?
Mac: I don't know. I'm having lunch with...with a friend.
Dobrinsky: Couple hours?
Mac: At least. A lot to catch up on.
Dobrinsky: Oh, that's nice. 1,500 ought to do it.
Mac: Ought to do what?
Dobrinsky: Pay for my time.
Mac: Are you nuts? Is that-- you can't charge me for covering for me. We're -- I
        don't know -- we're--
Dobrinsky: Pals?
Mac: Yes, pals, me and you.
Dobrinsky: You sugared my gas tank last week.
Mac: I would never do something like that. Why do you think that I would do
        something like that?
Dobrinsky: 'Cause I dusted the car for prints.
Mac: It was joke, all right. It was Vic's idea.
Dobrinsky: 1,500.
Mac: Forget it. Hey, it's my father. All right, I haven't seen him in years. All right, all
        right, 1,500.
Dobrinsky: Thank you.

[ spanking ]
Mac: Hello. Can I come in?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Ah, right, well, I'd love to, buts it turns out, the timing is a bit awkward.
Mac: Timing? It's 2:00. You're supposed to be making me lunch. You said that you'd
        make Lobster Newburg.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: I surely would have, my boy, had you had the foresight to purchase the lobster.
Mac: Listen, another broken promise.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: I'm not at fault.
Mac: What are you doing?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Oh, nothing, son. Something has, shall we say, come up.
Mac: You have a woman in there.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Sharp, boy. Knew you'd understand. Another half an hour would be most
                          appreciated.
Mac: Half an hour?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: She's really quite a remarkable woman. Circus training unless I miss my guess.
                          You better make it 45 minutes.
Mac: I just spent $1,500. I don't have time for this!
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: I, uh, did offer to feed you, after all. I have no idea what that is. It was
                          in the fridge. An hour would be best, just to be on the safe side. Wait. You
                          wouldn't happen to have a voltage converter, would you -- 220 to 110? No,
                          well... the old-fashioned way, I guess.

Mr. Ramsay Sr.: My sincere apologies about that whole converter business. I'm certain I had it
                          when I left Singapore.
Director: We made do.

Dobrinsky: Hey, you're early.
Mac: Yes, I know this. Lunch got canceled. You can take off.
Dobrinsky: Hey, man, you bought four hours.
Mac: I obviously don't need them any more. Give me my money back, too, by the way.
Dobrinsky: Do I look like Wal-mart?
Mac: Come on, Dobrinsky, be a pal.
Dobrinsky: You got some time. Go see a movie.
Mac: You're not going to give me that money back, are you?
Dobrinsky: You did sugar my gas tank.
Mac: Yeah, ok, see you later. Come on.
Dobrinsky: I'll stay if you want. [ humming ] oh, yeah, just made myself $1,500.

Guy#1: This is the place here.
Guy#2: You know, you're lucky you smoke, you know. 'Cause we happen to be in the
            market for some lungs. If you had healthy lungs, you'd be an excellent
            candidate.

Li Ann: ...and three more, and two more, one more...
Victor: I checked the building specs. I think there's a hidden wing leading off of here.
Li Ann: That would make sense. The exterior architecture doesn't match the interior.
Victor: Got any guesses?
Li Ann: Somewhere on that wall. I need about a minute.
Victor: No problem. [ whistling ] oh, my, my. All right, people, I don't want to
            create any panic, but we need everybody out of the pool. Ok, got a major e
            coli bacterial break-out in this pool, and you're all going to be dead in, oh,
            three hours if you don't get out right now!
People in pool: [ screaming ]

Mr. Stone: Where the hell are my lungs?
Man: I don't know. Ohhh!
Mr. Stone: Answer me.
Man: I didn't see what was in it. I just-- there were just three of them. There
         were two guys and a woman. I don't know who they were.
Mac: No interventions, no body count. That's what she said.
Mr. Stone: [ wheezing ] I need those lungs.
Man: I swear I don't know what to tell you.
Mr. Stone: Fine. Thank you very much. Kill him.
Man: Oh, no. Please, man.
Mr. Stone: Get back in time to make dinner.
Assistant: How about some cod livers?
Mr. Stone: I'm sick of fish.
Assistant: Some nice tripe, then. Ta-ta.
Mac: Why don't you pick on someone your size, fat boy?
Assistant: That's unnecessarily cruel. My girth comes from a glandular disorder.
Mac: Uh-huh. It's Jenny McCarthy.
Assistant: I'm entirely unimpressed by pop icons.
Mac: You're very good. That one usually works.
Man: Where did you come from, man? I don't know how to thank you.
Mac: I'll bill you.

Adam: I don't mean to be invasive in any way, but what are you doing here?
Li Ann: It's about time somebody showed up. I've been lost 15 minutes. I'm late for my
            seaweed wrap.
Adam: Let's not make this a blame issue, Phyllis.
Li Ann: What kind of place is this? Some kind of secret labratory?
Adam: No, not at all. Please, Phyllis, come, let me explain. I told you we try to
            help people change their lives here, you remember?
Li Ann: Yes.
Adam: But some people who are trying to free their inner selves find themselves held
            back, hindered by their outer selves. We can help reconcile that harsh
            external reality with the truer inner reality of the person.
Li Ann: With plastic surgery?
Adam: Ha, ha...that's such a clinical term. Um, I'm talking about making dreams come true.
Li Ann: But why is it all so secret?
Adam: To protect your privacy. It shouldn't have to be this way, Phyllis, but there
            are still a lot of bitter, ego-damaged people out there who are too ready to
            snipe and criticize, who resent you for realizing your dreams when they've
            already given up on theirs.
Li Ann: I really hate that about people.
Adam: [ laughing ] Oh, it's late, Phyllis. You've done a lot for your first day.
           Let's resume tomorrow, shall we?

Director: Good morning.
Dobrinsky: Don't know what's good about it. Our source has problems with conjunctions.
            Shipment was for Stone, not from. He wasn't shipping it, he was getting it.
Director: So he's not in Beirut.
Dobrinsky: Matter of fact, he's due to check into that spa you've got Li Ann in.
Director: All right, I want some backup down there.
Dobrinsky: That's the problem. We're a little short. Seems everyone's mopping up the
            Sigvottsen case.
Director: All right, get Mac down there at least. I'll think of the next step. Later.

Adam: Yes, of course. Mr. Stone, if we could just respect each other's dignity...
            Mr. Stone is coming here this afternoon, and he expects his transplant. He
            knows about the busted shipment, and it doesn't look like empathy is his
            strong suit.
Faye: Dr. Petrosian.
Adam: Lord, spare us. Hello, Faye.
Faye: I'm going to keep this short, doc. I came here because you told me the liver
         was guaranteed. Guaranteed!
Adam: I would be happy to refund the cost of your stay.
Faye: Money I got. It's a liver I need. And if I leave here without one, I am going
         straight to lunch with my second ex-husband. He just became district court
         judge. You figure it out.
Adam: I'm really starting to prefer passive aggressives.
Rod: You shouldn't put up with that kind of abuse, Doctor -- that woman has no
         boundaries.
Adam: I'm afraid I agree. Kill her. I mean, the sad truth about Faye is she's on so
            many stimulants that if she we to overdose in a motel somewhere, no one would
            blink -- deal with it this afternoon.
Rod: What about Mr. Stone?
Adam: That's actually a bigger problem. Did you check with Kwan in the Philippines?
            He won't have anything fresh for at least two days.
Rod: Say, as long as Faye is checking out, what if we yank out her lungs and pop them in stone.
Adam: Please. The term is "harvest," not "yank!" anyway, putting that woman's organs
        in someone else's body would be like implanting a bag of live cats. Well, I'll
        think of something. I always do.

Victor: Ok, the supply room is at the end of this hall. With a whole freezer full of
            human tripe.
Mac: Don't start. Oh, my god! What the hell are you doing here?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: I might ask the same of you.
Mac: I got no time for games.
Victor: Who is this?
Mac: It's my father.
Victor: Your father? I thought he was dead.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Thank you so much.
Mac: You got 30 seconds.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: This isn't exactly the kind of--
Mac: Come on, talk to me.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: All right, all right. I'm dying. I'm sorry, son. I truly am. I didn't want you
                          to know. The last thing I wanted was to end up a burden to the son I
                          abandoned.
Mac: What do you mean, you're dying? How are you dying? Dying how?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: You know the life I've lived, Mac. I haven't exactly been prudent. Oh, it's my
                           liver. It's giving out. Petrosian says that with a new one, I've got an 80%
                           chance.
Victor: We've got to keep moving.
Mac: So this is why you wanted the money? Why didn't you just say something?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Don't worry about me. I've managed to persuade Petrosian that I'm good for it.
                          Once I've had the operation, I'll find my way out.
Mac: You'll sneak out in the middle of the night after a liver transplant -- are
         you crazy?
Victor: Mac. We're out of time.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Out of time for what? You haven't said why you're here.
Mac: Look, I can't right now. All right? Don't go anywhere, ok? I'll be back. We'll
        work this out. I have not seen that guy in six years. What am I talking about?
        I haven't seen him six times in my whole life.
Victor: Come on. Deal with it later. Ok, go to it.

Adam: Interesting -- here I am, in need of a...healthy specimen. And here you are,
            again, snooping around where you're not supposed to... you know, Rod, I think
            we found that donor for Mr. Stone.
 

Mac: I can't believe he didn't tell me that he was sick, you know?
Victor: Maybe he doesn't want you to worry.
Mac: Right -- he'd rather I thought he was flying gold out of South America.
Victor: Your dad's a pilot?
Mac: Hard to say. His relationship with the truth isn't exactly what I would
        call...monogamous.  Got it.
Victor: Good.
Mac: Oh, my god!
Victor: Liver, lungs -- I don't know about you but I would say that this constitutes
            evidence.
Mac: Let's go.
Victor: Shh.
Mac: What?
Victor: Company. No choice, pal.

Adam: In fact, we've just procured a first-rate set of organs. We don't do it often,
            but let's just say you're a special client, Mr. Stone.
Mr. Stone: Save it.

Mac: Yes.
Victor: I think that you are out of your mind.
Mac: I cannot believe that I'm going to ask this. What would you do?
Victor: Oh... I don't know. I do know that people would pay to take my old man's liver
            out, not put one in.
Mac: Come on. If you could save him.
Victor: Mac, we gotta shut him down.
Mac: I know that. I'm not saying that we don't. I'm just saying that, that we just
         wait a couple days.
Victor: Until your old man gets a transplant.
Mac: Why not?
Victor: You said it yourself, that you hardly know the guy. And you told me that all
            he ever did was try to con you. What do you owe him?
Mac: You are so right. I mean, let him cack. What do I owe him? Except he's my father.
[ muffled screaming ]
[ muffled screaming ]
Mac: Ho!
Victor: What?
Mac: Harvey Stone and company.
Victor: Oh, yeah. What is an arms dealer doing here?
Mac: He's getting a mud bath. What else?
Victor: Go.

Adam: I imagine you're disappointed with me.  I accept that. That's valid. But you
            haven't been honest with me, either, have you? Trust has to be a two-way
            street, Phyllis...
Li Ann: Mmm...
Adam: If that's really your name.

Mac: Ok, Dad, gotta get you out of here.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Mac, I must talk to you.
Mac: We'll get you a transplant or something, ok, this is illegal.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Forget that -- I saw Petrosian strapping a woman on a gurney. Seemed to be
                         struggling.
Mac: What woman?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: She was very tall, very beautiful, cheeks to die for, raven-haired, young
                          Asian woman...
Mac and Victor: Li Ann.
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: With a kind of languid beauty that seemed to linger long after I'd lost sight
                            of her.

Adam: A healthy does of death. Perfect.
[ clanging ]
[ gunshot ]
Mr. Stone: Where the hell are my lungs?
Adam: Right there.
Mr. Stone: Good. I'm open-minded. I have no gender preferences. Best kidney I ever had
                 was a woman's.  But, uh, I don't think this is the place to do it.
Assistant: Ah, it's the young man with the rude manners.
Mr. Stone: Looks to me like you've had a security breach.
Assistant: I'll take your gun now.
Mr. Stone: Get the lungs. We'll take her to Dr. Rosen.
Adam: What's up? We had a deal.
Mr. Stone: I deal arms, not lungs. Call your lawyer.
Adam: You festering bag of disease.
Mr. Stone: Thanks for the lung. It's been a slice.
Mac: Can you get them to me?
Victor: Catch.
Victor: Come on, man, little applause would be nice.
Mac: Your kung fu is quite good.

Mr. Stone: What the hell is going on?
Mr. Ramsay Sr.: Oh, yoo-hoo. Your distributor.
Get him.
Victor: Oh!
Mac: They took our guns.
Victor: Yeah. You don't carry spare?
Mac: No, you know, it ruins the line on my jacket.
Victor: Thanks for the Uzi.
Mr. Stone: They struck my vehicle.
Mac: I'm out.
Victor: Yeah, I think we should go.
Mac: I was just putting down my roots here, too. It's close to schools and
        shopping.
Adam: Damnation. I told Rod to change the key. Ahhh!
Li Ann: Ok, who wants to be target practice?
Mac: I'll take your gun now. I wouldn't have said this yesterday, but... I'm really
        glad to see you, Dad.
 

Director: You're late.
Mac: It's my father. I can't find him anywhere. He disappeared again.
Director: I would prefer if you dealt with personal matters on your own time.
Mac: Boy, you're something. Suppose if your father was dying you'd book him in for,
        like, a breakfast meeting or something, sometime next year -- what do you
        think, guys?
Director: Excuse us. First of all, your father is just fine. He has absolutely no health
              problems.
Mac: How would you know?
Director: Well, let's just say he's an acquaintance. And I make it a point to check the
                records of anyone I might become acquainted with.
Mac: Why was he at the spa?
Director: I sent him.
Mac: You sent him.
Director: We're short-staffed, you needed backup, and he needed the work. Freelance. He
                had all the right background: confidence rackets, fraud, larceny. Genetics is
                real a remarkable thing, isn't it?
Mac: So let me get this straight. My father isn't dying. And you were paying him to
        be there. Is that right?
Director: Well, technically, you paid him.
Mac: I paid him. What does that mean?
Director: With the money from the Sigvottsen case. And if you ever try to cheat me
                again, I'll put you in a room full of psychotic bees. Here. It's from your
                father.

Mr. Ramsay Sr.:
Hello, son. By the time you see this, I'll be far away. I hope you're not
entirely disappointed with the old man. I did want to apologize for deceiving
you about my health. I suppose I could have told you the truth, but it seemed
so rushed, and, well, old habits die hard. By the way, I meant what I said
about teaming up. I tell you, the pair of us working together, we could clean
up. Think about it. If you want to reach me, I'm heade for the south pacific.
A little island called Aldabra. Send it general delivery. I should be there...
sooner or later.  Ciao, and... good work, son. I'm proud of you.
