Really, do I look bad?
Don't worry. This'll put the color back in your cheeks.
2 tickets to the charity ball at the Coco Bongo Club, Saturday.
Anybody who's anybody will be there.
Want to be my date?
Wait just a minute.
- Why are you here? - I wanted to thank you.
I don't have much to open an account with anymore.
What about the club? You were doing great.
It's not your problem. I'll be okay.
Come here.
You didn't stop by just to see me, did you?
It's okay, tell me.
The guy they say robbed this place...
- The Mask? - I think he was at the club.
Really?
They say he's pretty...
weird looking.
Yeah, but...
you should see him dance.
Did anyone find out who he is?
Why, you interested?
Just curious, I guess.
I better be going.
Thanks for everything.
You'd like to see him again?
I wouldn't mind.
I know him, you know.
You do?
We're old college buddies, him and me.
It's funny you mention he dances because...
I taught him a couple of dance moves myself.
Think you could have him meet me tonight?
Maybe I could work something out.
- How about at Landfill Park? - Sunset.
- Perfect. - Super.
Thanks, Stanley. You really are a nice guy.
This is an interesting place.
Looks like fourth- or fifth-century Scandinavian.
Possibly a representation of one of the Norse night gods, maybe Loki.
Loki?
Who is Loki?
The Norse god of mischief.
Supposedly he caused such trouble that Odin banished him from Valhalla forever.
Then he could have banished him into that mask.
I'm talking about mythology, Mr. Ipkiss.
This is a piece of wood.
but your book...!
My book is about masks as a metaphor.
A metaphor,not to be taken literally.
You suffer from a mild delusion.
Alright.
I'll prove it to you.
But I am not responsible for the consequences.
Just sit back and enjoy the ride, Mr. Expert.
You don't scare me. Go right ahead.
See you.
You said Loki was a night god. Maybe it works at night.
I should warn you that I don't work personally with really sick people.
There are private institutions for those things.
I can arrange for a safe environment for you tonight, if you want.
I must see Tina.
But what can I do?
Do I go as myself...
or The Mask?
If I tell you, you promise to leave my office right now?
Go as yourself...
and as The Mask.
Because they are both one and the same beautiful person.
Got the cross-check on the fingerprints. It's lpkiss.
I'm looking at him.
Keep the SWAT team standing by.
If he's half as bad as they say, we'll have a full dance card.
Pickle relish?
- Get in the car. - But I ordered onion rings.
LANDFILL PARK
What are you doing here?
I wanted to make sure that you 2 got together all right.
That's nice.
I hardly ever stop by here.
It's hard to believe it was...
a garbage heap.
It's really beautiful right around sunset.
The methane emissions really pick up the colors.
All those...
pinks and greens.
My friend will be along here any minute. I better go.
Stanley, wait.
Hello, cherie.
We meet again!
Is it fate?
Is it meant to be? It is written in the stars...
that we are destined to fraternize?
I'd like to think so.
Kiss me, my dear, and I will reveal my croissant.
I will spread your p t . I will dip my ladle in your vichyssoise.
She's so coy.
I love it.
Our love is like a red, red rose.
And I am a little thorny.
Je t'adore! Je t'adore!
Shoot the window. I don't care!
This is Kellaway. I need back-up.
Cigarette?
Now, like Napoleon...
I will divide and conquer.
Police!
Merde.
Freeze.
Put your hands up.
But you told me to freeze.
Alright, alright, unfreeze.
You're under arrest.
It wasn't me.
It was the one-armed man.
Alright, I confess.
I did it, you hear? And I'm glad, glad, I tell you!
What are they going to do to me, Sarge? What are they going to do?
Sorry, son, that's not my department.
Search him.
Where's a camcorder when you need one?
It's going to be a long night. My wife'll kill me.
- What is it? - Cops got lpkiss at Landfill Park.
Let me cover it. I need this story. You go home to Claire.
I don't know. Ramsey said--
I will take care of Ramsey.
Thanks a million, I owe you one.
Really big sunglasses, nerf ball...
Bike horn...
Small-mouthed bass... bowling pin...
mouse-trap...
rubber chicken...
- Little to the left. That's it. - I don't know.
Funny eyeball glasses...
I've never seen those in my life.
- bazooka. - I have a permit for that.
- Picture of Kellaway's wife... - What?
CALL ME LOVER!
Margaret! Son of a bitch!
I figured you had a sense of humor.
you married her!
That's got to hurt.
Get him!
It's over. Raise your hands...
or we'll fire.
Hit it!
They call me Cuban Pete I'm the king of the rumba beat
When I play the maracas
I go chick-chicky boom
Yes, I'm Cuban Pete
I'm the craze of my street
When I start to dance everything goes Chick-chicky boom, chick-chicky boom
The senoritas sing...
and they swing
It's very nice
Full of spice
They dance and bring a happy ring Never a care
Singing a song All the day long
If you like the beat Take a lesson from Cuban Pete
I'll teach you to chick-chicky boom
He's a modest guy
Although he's the hottest guy
In Havana
Si, senorita, I know...
that when I chicky boom
It's very nice so full of spice
I place my hand on your hip
And if you will give me your hand
Then we shall try Just you and I
- Not bad. - Shut up and help me down.
I'll teach you to chick-chicky boom Chick-chicky boom
Dance and I'll blow your brains out.
Give me that thing.
See you!
There! Let's get him. Snap out of it. This dance is over!
Let's go! Follow me, officers!
He's down the alley. Follow me. Come on. Grab your gun.
Stanley, get in!
There!
Halt, or I'll shoot!
Shoot! Shoot!
Seat belts.
I missed him.
Come on, we all missed him.
THE MASK ROBS BANK
I saw it.
I saw everything.
What's happening to you, Stanley?
It's crazy.
I'm losing control.
When I put that mask on...
I can do anything.
Be anything.
It's wrecking my life.
My life is wrecked. Wrecked.
I don't know what's happening to you...
but I do know this:
that letter you sent my column...
that was from a guy with more guts...
and more heart...
than any of the creeps I've met in this city.
Whatever that mask is...
you don't need it.
You...
Stanley lpkiss...
are already all you'll ever need to be.
Gosh, Peg...
do you really mean that?
Actually...
no.
What?
Where were you? I've been vamping for 20 minutes.
Is this him?
You got the 50 thou'?
Give her the money.
Right.
With the mask on, he turns into that green thing.
What are you doing?
Sorry. You really are a great guy, I just can't lose my condo.
It's so hard to find an apartment in this city.
You said you wouldn't hurt him!
I lied.
Tell me.
How's this mask work?
I don't know. You just...
put it on.
Boss...
be careful, huh?
What a rush.
You okay?
I'm better than ever, you idiot.
What do we do with lpkiss?
The police want the mask.
We'll give them The Mask.
The money better be here...
or you can lp-kiss your ass good-bye.
Get over there.
Can't believe it. Hardened cops dancing in the street...
and broadcast on the 11 o'clock news.
- The SWAT team was offered Vegas. - I'm history.
The Captain'll have my badge for breakfast with a pension on top.
It's not all your fault. Something will turn up.
Sure, lpkiss will fall right into my lap.
Get him off of me!
Wait!
I can explain everything.
You can explain everything? Explain this!
Get him up! Let's go! I got a cell for you, pal.
Forget about me, buddy.
Find a new place to live.
I'll be in here for a long, long time.
You, with the face.
You got a visitor.
- Why? - Is it true?
You're The Mask.
Yeah, but don't tell anybody. If I get...
a good lawyer and a deal...
I'll be out in about 10,000 years.
It's risky, coming here.
Your boyfriend might be upset.
He'll be at the charity ball tonight.
Like what? The Lambada?
This is serious. There must be a way to stop him.
How does it work?
I don't know.
It's like...
it brings your innermost desires to life.
If deep down inside...
you're a bit repressed and hopelessly romantic...
you become some sort of...
a love-crazy wild man.
And if you're like Dorian?
Then we're all in big trouble.
And if I were you, I'd get out of town. Fast.
Thanks.
For what?
Lots of things.
Sharing a sunset with me.
For being the only guy who treated me like a person, not...
a party favor.
For being any kind of romantic...
even a hopeless one.
You're welcome.
That night at the club I knew...
I'd found someone special.
The Mask.
It was the guy inside The Mask.
It was you all along.
Lady, time's up.
Could I have just...
one more minute?
I've got to disappear for a while now.
Don't know where but I'll let you know as soon as I can.
Somebody help me!
Guard, guard!
A woman's being chased in the alley.
She needs help.
Sure. Keep it down.
Serve and protect, man!
Good boy. Come on.
Jump up. Can you jump up?
Remember how I taught you not to jump up on people? Forget that.
Come on! Get up here.
Get up. Get up here!
Get up. Get up here. That's it.
You can do it. Come on. Come on!
Put some effort into it!
Baby, there you are.
I was worried about you.
- You talk to the cops? - Only to see what lpkiss told them.
That's right, you and Stanley. You two are getting awfully close.
Bet you helped him with the bank job.
- That's ridiculous. - Oh, is it?
Look what I found in her car.
Going away alone, baby?
Boys, I want you to...
get her something pretty to wear.
We're going to a party tonight.
We'll have one hell of a time, right?
Get out of my sight.
Jump up.
Get up. Come on.
Come on, Milo. Jump, please.
Do it for Daddy.
That's it!
God, I can't believe it.
Good boy. Good boy.
See that man over there?
He's got keys.
Go get those keys.
Go get them. Go get the keys.
That's it.
The key.
No, not the cheese, the keys.
Drop the cheese...
and get the keys.
Over there, over there.
Oh, man. Come on.
Come here. Good boy. That's a good boy.
Give it, give me the keys. Give me the keys.
Come on, drop it, drop it.
It's sundown.
It's almost time.
I wouldn't, darling.
DANGER EXPLOSIVES
Wouldn't want to start the celebration early.
Hold it!
I am warning you...
I am seriously stressed out here.
Easy.
Come on.
Don't be an idiot.
You're in a police station. There is no way you'll walk out of here like this.
You're know, you're right.
- Absolutely right. - What are you doing?
You'll take me out...
as your prisoner.
Put it on! Put it on!
Come on.
- I'm really very sorry about this. - I'm sure.
You got the wrong guy.
It's a bum rap.
I got my rights.
Where are you taking lpkiss?
Ixnay! Ehay's otgay an ungay.
I get it. Pig Latin, right?
Eesay ouyay aterlay.
Come on!
Sit back and relax.
I must change for the party.
TONIGHT, CASINO
WAR ORPHANS FUND
I need cigarettes.
- Which brand? - It doesn't matter, I don't smoke.
But for you, I would shoot the Surgeon General.
Mayor Tilton, may we have a word?
I always have time for the press and my loyal constituents.
Let me out of these cuffs, you drive like a maniac.
Sorry, we're late for the ball.
Alice and the rabbit'll be disappointed.
Now you're being cynical.
Who are you?
I'm just an ex-employee...
who's come for his back pay.
Or should I say payback?
Kill him.
Come on.
Ladies and gentlemen...
I will be the host...
for the rest of the evening.
Get your dog away from me.
Sorry, he seems to be attracted to you.
Where's everyone? Something's not kosher.
- Exactly. - Watch it!
Sorry.
I must lock you in.
Use the radio.
You know, call for back-up or something.
This could be dangerous. Stay here and be a good boy.
Daddy has to go kick some ass.
He's a dead man.
Down! Get down!
Take it easy, I got the point.
Blow it!
Bastard.
What's the matter, darling?
This is your big production number.
And you know it's important...
to go out with a big bang.
Why are you here?
Take this gun and start sneaking people out the back.
Step back.
- Do you know who I am? - A dead man if you don't step back.
What about some respect?
- What kind of thug are you? - All set, Dorian.
That's it.
This party's over...
in 10 minutes.
This is the moment when a man...
shows what he's really made of.
Crap.
Drop it.
Smart dog.
Boss, look who decided to crash the party.
How's it going?
Bring him up here!
Wait! No!
This is no time for last requests.
But all I wanted was a kiss.
A kiss?
Just one...
Iast kiss.
I can't shut it off.
There's always time...
for one last kiss.
From the real Dorian.
The one I used to love.
Nobody ever kissed me like Dorian Tyrel.
Romeo!
This place will blow!
Just wait!
I've decided...
to give her one last thrill.
Get it!
Run, Milo!
Stanley, hurry!
Don't worry.
It's all over now.
Got you.
I'll take you apart.
I hope you can enjoy the victory with one freaking eye!
Good doggie.
I'm winning!
JACKPOT
Oh, my God!
This must be a new breed.
Easy, boy!
Good boy!
Did you miss me?
I guess not!
Now, you have to ask yourself one question:
"Do I feel lucky?"
Well...
do you...
punks?
That's a spicy meatball.
How do?
This guy's incorrigible.
You were good, kid, real good...
but as long as I'm around you'll be second-best.
Police! Hands up!
Officers, arrest those men.
I've always wanted to say that.
Come on.
Give me that gun.
He stole all our jewelry. Take me to headquarters...
Stop that man!
I've got you now.
Watch it, Chunky!
- Mayor Tilton, I'm so-- - What's wrong with you?
That man is The Mask.
No. Dorian Tyrel was The Mask. I saw it with my own eyes.
This man here saved our lives.
- With a little help. - You're a real hero.
It's nothing...
any American with...
balls of steel wouldn't do for his community.
Come on.
Mayor Tilton, did you see that dog?
Leave the dog alone.
I want you in my office first thing tomorrow.
- Yes, Your Honor. - That doesn't sound good at all.
No, it doesn't. What would sound good to you?
- Breakfast. - Shut up!
Sure you know what you're doing?
I'm sure.
Then do what you must.
Sure you won't miss this guy?
When he's gone, all that's left is me.
Smoking!
