WARSAW. MY HOME IS IN WARSAW.
NADIA MESSING IS AN HONORS STUDENT
AND INVOLVED IN ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES.
SHE LOOKS FORWARD TO HER STAY
WITH HER HOST AMERICAN FAMILY.
Reporter: WHAT WAS THE ESSAY THAT BROUGHT YOU HERE?
IT WAS A COMPARISON
OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS--
THE UNITED STATES AND THE SOVIET SATELLITE...
THE GOVERNMENT OF POLAND IS PLEASED
THAT THIS ACADEMIC PROGRAM CAN FINALLY TAKE PLACE.
LOOK AT HER.
THIS IS THE TOTAL BUMMER OF ALL TIME.
BEING SELECTED THE HOST FAMILY IS QUITE AN HONOR, JENNIFER.
BESIDES, THIS COULD BE A LOT OF FUN.
GIRLS THAT WIN SCHOOL CONTESTS ARE NOT FUN.
REMEMBER LAURIE HOBERMAN, WON THE STATE SPELLING BEE--
TOTAL DORK CITY.
QUIET, DEAR. WE'RE DOING THIS FOR AMERICA.
I THINK I'LL DEFECT.
MR. DRABINSKY, HOW NORMAL A TEENAGE LIFE CAN NADIA HAVE
WITH A REPRESENTATIVE LIKE YOU FOLLOWING HER AROUND?
Drabinsky: I ASSURE YOU, GENTLEMEN
I HAVE NO INTENTION OF RETURNING TO HIGH SCHOOL.
AND I MIGHT ADD
THAT CONTRARY TO PROPAGANDA DISSEMINATED BY YOUR GOVERNMENT
WE DO NOT FOLLOW AROUND VISITORS TO THE UNITED STATES.
NADIA IS HERE FOR THE TOTAL AMERICAN EXPERIENCE.
HER LIFE WILL BE AS NORMAL
AS THAT OF THE STUDENT SITTING NEXT TO HER IN CLASS.
Hoffs: SAY WHAT?
COME ON. THAT'S A BABY-SITTING ASSIGNMENT.
THEY WANT TO GIVE THIS GIRL A TASTE
OF NORMAL AMERICAN TEENAGE LIFE.
SO I GOT TO FOLLOW HER AROUND? WHY US?
THE METRO P.D. IS COOPERATING
WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
THAT'S WHY US.
OUR PRESIDENT COOPERATES WITH THE POLISH PRESIDENT.
STATE DEPARTMENT COOPERATES WITH OUR PRESIDENT.
THE GOVERNOR COOPERATES WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
WHICH BRINGS US TO THE MAYOR AND THE CHIEF OF POLICE--
BOTH COOPERATIVE PEOPLE.
THEY PUT IT ON JENKO'S SHOULDERS.
HE PUTS IT ON YOURS.
JUDY HOFFS--
A.K.A. MISS COOPERATIVE.
I FEEL LIKE THE DOG WHO GETS KICKED IN THIS SCENARIO.
CONSIDER IT A FAVOR TO THE PRESIDENT OF POLAND.
JUST KEEP AN EYE ON HER--
EASE HER IN AT FIRST.
IT MIGHT BE FUN.
OKAY, I'LL DO IT
IN THE NAME OF WORLD PEACE.
WE ALSO HAVE SOME NEW BUSINESS
IN STOLEN CARS.
( blows raspberry )
Ioki: GEE, JENK,
WE'RE GETTING THE BIG ONES.
STOLEN CARS ARE A VERY BIG BUSINESS THESE DAYS.
EVER THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY
THE INSURANCE COMPANIES SHELL OUT IN CLAIMS?
Hanson: THEY'RE THE ONES THAT SHOULD GO TO JAIL.
YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I PAY
TO INSURE THE MUSTANG?
THREE MONTHS AGO, THE THING WAS PARKED-- PARKED.
SOME UNINSURED DOOFUS HITS ME AND THEY RAISE MY RATES.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD UNINSURED DOOFUS PROTECTION.
WON'T DO ANY GOOD IF YOU'RE UNDER 25.
I MEAN, DO YOU THINK THEY CARE
THAT I HAVE A PERFECT DRIVING RECORD, HUH?
NO!
I MEAN, DO YOU THINK THAT THEY CARE
THAT I'M A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, HUH?
NO.
THEY JUST KEEP RAISING THE RATES.
Jenko: WELL, NOW, THERE THEN, YOU SEEM
QUITE PASSIONATE ABOUT THAT, BUB.
DOWNRIGHT MORAL OUTRAGE, I'D CALL IT.
SO NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, AMIGO.
HERE, LOOK AT THIS.
IT WAS FOUND STRIPPED A FEW DAYS AGO.
WHEN GRAND THEFT FOUND IT, THEY FOUND A SCREWDRIVER
THAT HAD FALLEN INTO THE FRAME
WITH THE INITIALS N.H.S. ENGRAVED ON IT.
NORTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL?
Jenko: THAT'S THE THIRD CAR STRIPPED IN THAT VICINITY
IN THE LAST 30 DAYS.
SO THE GUYS IN THE SUITS DOWNTOWN
THINK MAYBE THERE'S A POSSIBILITY OF A CONNECTION
WITH THE KIDS IN THE SHOP PROGRAM.
THEY'VE GOT A HUGE SHOP THERE.
Penhall: HUGE SHOP?
THERE'S EIGHT MILLION KIDS AT THAT SCHOOL.
THERE'S EIGHT MILLION AND ONE NOW.
YOUR BUDDY HANSON IS ABOUT TO JOIN THE SHOP CLASS.
EVERY DAY I GET A NEW FACE.
ADVANCED CLASS, HUH?
YEAH.
OKAY, McCLAIN...
I GOT AN AUTOMATIC CAMARO
I WANT TO PUT A FOUR-SPEED INTO.
GOT A NEW BELL HOUSING FOR IT.
CAN YOU DO IT BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON?
IF YOU CAN FIND A NEW DRIVE SHAFT.
THE SHAFT IN THERE IS SIX INCHES TOO LONG.
GOOD. START IN THE "A" GROUP.
SEE IF YOU CAN KEEP UP.
YO, LISTEN UP.
THANK YOU. GATHER UP.
COME ON, LECTURE TIME.
HEY, WISEGUYS, YOU'LL THANK ME SOMEDAY
FOR WHAT I'M ABOUT TO TELL YOU.
OPPORTUNITY-- THERE ARE WORK ANTS AND THERE ARE QUEEN BEES.
YOU GUYS ARE WORK ANTS.
LET'S FACE IT.
CALL IT GENETICS, CALL IT ATTRITION
YOU GUYS AIN'T NEVER GOING TO BE LUNCHING ON WALL STREET.
YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
HOWEVER-- AND THIS IS A BIG HOWEVER--
YOU GUYS GOT SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE.
OPPORTUNITY.
YOU CAN COME OUT THE BEST MECHANICS IN TOWN.
A BANKER?
THINK IT'S A BIG DEAL
MAKING SOME GUY A CAR LOAN?
A BRAIN SURGEON?
YOU THINK HE'S GOT GOOD HANDS?
LET HIM CHANGE THE GENERATOR ON A '67 IMPALA IN THE RAIN.
SO IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS.
YOU ARE THE BEST.
THE FUTURE IS OPPORTUNITY
AND THE OPPORTUNITY IS YOURS.
END OF LECTURE.
VERY INSPIRING.
DON'T BROWNNOSE ME.
HEY, DELANO.
WHAT DID I DO NOW?
GET OVER HERE.
THIS HERE'S McCLAIN.
HE'S IN YOUR PROJECT GROUP.
WHATEVER YOU SAY, COACH.
DON'T FORGET.
GRADES TOMORROW ON FUEL INJECTION.
THEN THE FINAL PROJECT-- HALF YOUR GRADE.
WE'LL BE READY.
WATCH HIS BUDDY, MARK THE MECHANIC.
HE'S THE BEST IN THE PLACE.
LEARN, MY FRIEND.
OPPORTUNITY.
HEY, DELANO.
YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING?
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT'S THAT GUY'S DEAL?
HE'S THE ZEN MASTER OF GARAGE PHILOSOPHY.
STEVIE DELANO.
TOM McCLAIN.
TRASH THIS THING.
HOW CAN ANYONE FIGURE OUT WHAT'S INSIDE THESE COMPUTERS?
MARK "THE MECHANIC" DORIAN, THE LEGEND OF NORTHSIDE HIGH.
THAT'S THE FUEL MANAGEMENT COMPUTER...
WE KNOW WHAT IT DOES, PAL.
NO ONE OUTSIDE THE FACTORY
KNOWS HOW TO REPROGRAM THESE.
Steve: YOU THINK LANDERS IS TESTING US?
IT'S A LEMON.
A FRIEND CAN GET ME ONE OF THESE
FOR A GREAT PRICE.
THEY'RE HARD TO COME BY.
SUPPLY DEALERS CAN'T GET THEM.
I'VE GOT MORE DIRECT SOURCES.
OH, YEAH? HOW MUCH?
FREE.
THAT WOULD MEAN BREAKING THE LAW.
DO IT. WE ALL LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE AROUND HERE.
DONE.
BUT YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GET WITH IT.
YOU'RE ANALOG MEN IN A DIGITAL WORLD.
THEN IN 1970 THERE WERE STRIKES AND RIOTS BY THE WORKING CLASS.
AND AGAIN IN 1980, I BELIEVE.
THAT IS CORRECT, MR. RAMSEY.
WHAT ABOUT FOOD SUPPLIES?
CLOTHING?
DON'T YOU HAVE TO LINE UP
FOR GOODS AVAILABLE IN ABUNDANCE HERE?
IF YOU ARE REFERRING TO THE DECADENT AMERICAN PRODUCTS
I READ THAT THAT IS WHY
MANY REBELLED IN THE '60s.
YOU WERE BORED WITH MATERIALISM.
SOME REBELLED, BUT IT'S DIFFERENT IN POLAND.
THERE YOU REBELLED FROM A LACK OF THESE THINGS.
I DON'T THINK WE ARE DISAGREEING, MR. RAMSEY.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THE FEELINGS IN POLAND
ARE BASICALLY PRO-AMERICAN.
REALLY? COME ON.
POLAND MAY BE THE ONLY PRO-AMERICAN COUNTRY
LEFT IN EUROPE.
Ramsey: THAT'S QUITE A STATEMENT.
Nadia: I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FEELINGS OF THE PEOPLE.
HMM.
THE PEOPLE.
OF COURSE, IN THIS COUNTRY
THE ABILITY TO CHANGE LAWS IS IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE.
IF TWO-THIRDS OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES AGREE
THEN THE LAW IS CHANGED.
ACTUALLY, ONLY A SIMPLY MAJORITY IS REQUIRED
TO PASS A BILL INTO LAW.
A TWO-THIRDS VOTE IS NEEDED TO OVERRIDE A PRESIDENTIAL VETO.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THAT WAS NEAT THE WAY YOU HANDLED MR. RAMSEY.
THE MAN IS SOMETHING OF A JINGOIST.
A WHAT?
SAY, GUYS, YOU WANT TO HIT THE MALL?
WHY DON'T YOU HIT THE MALL
WITH YOUR NEW FRIEND?
COME ON, NADIA.
LET'S CHECK OUT THE ABUNDANCE OF AMERICAN WEALTH.

Thank you for banking with us.
TELL ME ABOUT THIS.
IT'S A BANK.
YOU THROW IN YOUR CARD

I THINK I'M GOING TO LIKE IT HERE.
HELLO, LADIES.
CAN I BUY YOU A DRINK?
NO, THANKS.
ANYWAY...
THAT IS A WONDERFUL JACKET YOU'RE WEARING.
THANKS.
YOU'RE FROM OUT OF TOWN.
I COULD TELL.
SO...
YOU WANT TO HANG OUT OR WHAT?
"OR WHAT" SOUNDS VERY GOOD.
GREAT, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING ME HERE, JUDY.
I WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW IN SCHOOL, YES?
UH, YEAH, SURE.
WAIT TILL YOU SEE MY WHEELS.
ALL RIGHT, MAN, THIS IS IT.
NUMBER 456, GOT IT?
I'VE DONE THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE, STEVIE.
VINCE...
WE REALLY NEED THIS ONE, MAN.
DON'T BLOW IT, MARIO.
RELAX, OKAY?
I NEED MORE BODIES.
I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT MORE PRODUCTS
BUT I NEED DRIVERS.
RECRUIT SOME FRIENDS.
THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME CODE OF HONOR.
Mario: NOTHING ILLEGAL ABOUT DRIVING CARS.
NOT MUCH.
WHAT ABOUT STOPPING TO GET THE ODOMETER KNOCKED BACK?
THAT'S NONE OF THE DRIVER'S CONCERN.
Auctioneer: LOT NUMBER 456, MUTUAL FIDELITY CONSIGNOR.
WHO WILL GIVE ME $500?
$500.
THANK YOU. $600?
( Auctioneer's patter )
I'M BID $500.
600.
Auctioneer: NOW 700.
$700.
750.
I THINK YOU GUYS ARE BEING JERKED AROUND.
$800.
$1,000.
IT'S A PIECE OF JUNK.
$1,000 ON THAT PIECE OF JUNK.
$1,100.
$1,100. NOW $1,200.
DON'T LOSE IT.
$1,300.
$1,350.
$1,400.
Auctioneer: $1,400.
( patter )
GIVE YOU 5O BUCKS
NOT TO SAY ANOTHER WORD.
$1,450.
$1,500.
$1,5OO BID. $1,550?
A HUNDRED BUCKS.
MY LIPS ARE SEALED.
IT WAS A PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU.
$1,500 ONCE, $1,500 TWICE.
SOLD FOR $1,500.
QUALITY USED CARS
AND, MARIO, THAT REALLY IS A USED CAR.
WELL DONE, GENTLEMEN.
MARIO, HERE'S $900.
COME ON, COME ON.
WOULD HAVE BEEN A GRAND.
THAT GUY TOOK $100.
WAS HE A SHILL?
MAYBE HE NOTICED A COUPLE PUNKS BIDDING ON USELESS FRAMES.
I HATE THIS PLACE.
IT'S SO CROOKED.
WHO'S DOING WHO A FAVOR?
HERE'S HOW I'LL PLAY THIS ONE.
AFTER YOU GENIUSES PUT THAT TOGETHER
I'LL TAKE 20% OF THE SALE PRICE.
20%?
FREE ENTERPRISE, DUDES.
Mark: CAREFUL WITH THEM, ALL RIGHT?
HEY, WATCH IT, WILL YOU?
Mark: NO, NO, NO, NO!
VINNY, THERE'S A RIGHT WAY AND THERE'S A WRONG WAY
TO HOOK UP A WIRING HARNESS.
WHAT'S WITH HIM?
THIS REBUILD IS A BIG PART OF THE MIDTERM GRADE.
HE TAKES IT SO SERIOUSLY.
HE'S TRAINING FOR WHEN WE HAVE OUR OWN PLACE.
OH, YEAH?
WE'RE GOING INTO BUSINESS TOGETHER.
I'M THE FRONT MAN.
HE'S THE MECHANIC.
IT TAKES A LOT OF DOUGH TO OPEN A GARAGE.
YOU'RE TELLING ME.
WHERE'S THE BLACK BOX?
ON ITS WAY.
HEY, HOTSHOT.
PUT THE TIE RODS ON
WITHOUT BENDING THEM.
YES, SIR.
YOU FORGOT
YOUR LUNCH.
THAT'S NOT BAD.
YOU WANT ANYTHING WITH WHEELS ATTACHED
LET ME KNOW.
Hanson: MIDNIGHT MIKE.
FASTEST MAN ON THE NORTHSIDE.
SO YOU'RE FAST?
$100 STANDING BET TO ANY AND ALL COMERS.
WE MIGHT TAKE YOU UP ON THAT.
$200 ON DOMESTICS.
A MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART.
LET'S PUT THIS IN BEFORE LANDERS PULLS A SPOT CHECK.
COME HERE A SECOND.
YOU SEE THE CAR WE'RE REBUILDING?
THIS ONE?
I THINK IT'S THE SAME ONE THAT WAS HEISTED LAST WEEK.
THEY'RE REBUILDING IT IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS?
GUTSY, HUH?
ARE YOU SURE IT'S THE SAME ONE?
NO, BUT IT'S A BLUE MERCURY SABLE.
WE CAN'T JUST NAIL THEM ON A HUNCH.
YOU GOT THE I.D. NUMBER ON THE LAST STOLEN CAR?
NOT ON ME.
I GOT THE ONE ON THIS ONE.
ARE YOU READY?
NO.
G-8-6-7-9-5...
3-3-7-2-5-6.
YOU GOT IT?
GIVE IT TO ME AGAIN.
I'M NOT KRESKIN, MAN.
G-8-6-7-9-5- 3-3-7-2-5-6.
DID YOU GET THAT?
G-86...
Landers: HEY.
WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?
I'M HIS BUDDY.
I DROPPED OFF HIS LUNCH.
DROP IT AT THE CAFETERIA.
NO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ON THE DECK.
YES, SIR.
G...G...
NO SECURITY AROUND HERE.
TOO MANY STUDENTS.
HEY, COACH, BEING NEW HERE AND ALL, I WAS WONDERING--
WE GOT THIS FRAME, WE GOT ALL THESE PARTS.
WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CARS AFTERWARD?
WHO THE HECK ARE YOU
THE FBI?
I WAS JUST WONDERING.
I GOT A SECRET BENEFACTOR, OKAY?
IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
IT'S YOUR BUSINESS TO MAKE IT RUN.
YOU GOT THAT?
( car starts )
SHE MUST HAVE BEEN AT THE LIBRARY ALL NIGHT
BECAUSE SHE WAS NOWHERE WHEN I GOT UP.
( motorcycle roaring )
MAYBE SHE WASN'T SO BAD AFTER ALL.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
DRAG CITY.
NADIA?
WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS
TO DO DIFFERENT HAIRSTYLES.
THAT IS ALL.
IT IS NO BIG DEAL.
COULD YOU DRESS LIKE THAT AT HOME?
OH, YEAH.
BUT I'D HAVE A HECK OF A TIME
FINDING THESE PANTY HOSE.
WELL, I'M GLAD TO SEE A GRADUAL ACCEPTANCE
OF OUR NATIVE CUSTOMS.
THE FREEDOM MUST BE A WELCOME RELIEF.
IT'S SOMEWHAT TRUE.
IN MY COUNTRY THERE ARE SO MANY RULES.
IT'S LIKE LIVING FOREVER WITH YOUR PARENTS.
OH, CAN YOU IMAGINE?
MANY PEOPLE LITERALLY LIVE THEIR LIVES
WITH THEIR PARENTS.
WHEN YOU GROW UP YOU GET YOUR OWN ROOM
NOT YOUR OWN HOUSE.
YOU COULDN'T LIKE TURN UP THE STEREO FOREVER.
Nadia: YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO TURN IT UP
CONSIDERING THAT THE GOVERNMENT CENSORS ALL THE LYRICS.
I'M JUST GLAD YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE
TO PURSUE THE AMERICAN DREAM.
AND "OPEN" SAYS ME.
T-MINUS-3-2-1
IGNITION.
( engine starting )
THE NEW KING.
NOT BAD.
NOT BAD?
HE WHIPPED YOUR TAIL.
THIS PLACE IS GOING TO BE A PALACE, MAN.
WE'LL ONLY SERVICE BEEMERS, MERCEDES AND JAGS.
AND PORSCHES, OF COURSE.
OF COURSE.
SPEAKING OF WHICH--
WE STILL HAVEN'T TORN DOWN A MERCEDES.
DUDE, I'M WORKING ON IT.
THAT'S SOME DREAM YOU GOT.
Steve: IT'S NO DREAM.
WE'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT FOR YEARS.
Mark: TELL THEM ABOUT THE WAITING ROOM.
LEATHER COUCHES.
AND NO OLD MAGAZINES.
ONLY BRAND-NEW MAGAZINES.
AND A PICTURE WINDOW SO PEOPLE CAN WATCH US
WORK ON THEIR CARS.
IN THE MOST SPOTLESS SERVICE BAY IN THE CITY.
WHITE OVERALLS WITH YOUR NAME
ON THE BACK.
A NAME ON THE FRONT IS NO GOOD.
IF YOU'VE GOT TO CALL DOWN TO YOUR TIRE MAN
YOU'RE LOOKING AT HIS BACK, RIGHT?
THAT'S WHERE HIS NAME SHOULD BE.
LIKE IN BASEBALL.
MAKES SENSE TO ME.
TAKES A LOT OF DOUGH.
WELL, WE'VE GOT A FEW GIGS GOING.
WE GOT A LOCATION, TOO.
OVER ON GRAND.
IT'S IN, UH...
WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?
PROBATE.
YEAH, PROBATE.
THE GUY WENT UNDER AND NOW THE COURT'S GOT HIS GARAGE.
WE FIGURE IF WE COULD GET ENOUGH DOUGH TOGETHER
BY JULY 1
WE COULD PUT TOGETHER THE WINNING BID.
YOU INTERESTED IN MAKING SOME MONEY?
SURE, WHAT DO WE GOT TO DO?
JUST SOME DRIVING.
Mark: OUR FRIEND MARIO OWNS THIS USED-CAR LOT.
WE DRIVE FOR HIM ON WEEKENDS.
WE PICK UP CARS AND DRIVE THEM TO AN AUCTION.
CAN'T MAKE MUCH MONEY DOING THAT.
YOU MAKE A FEW STOPS ALONG THE WAY.
LIKE AT CLOCKER PAUL'S.
HE MAKES OLD CARS LOOK NEW.
LET ME GUESS-- TIRE PAINT, ENGINE SPRAY,
YOU RUN THE CLOCK BACK ABOUT 20,000 MILES.
INTERESTED?
YOU PICK UP SOME EXTRA GAS MONEY, INSURANCE MONEY.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS PAYING FOR INSURANCE?
HE PAYS A FORTUNE.
GOT IN AN ACCIDENT.
WHAT?
INSURANCE COMPANIES, MAN.
THE BIGGEST KOOKS IN AMERICA.
I AGREE 100%.
WHAT BUSINESS DID YOU SAY YOU WERE IN?
INSURANCE.
IS THAT A GOOD BUSINESS?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
IT'S A LICENSE TO DEAL.
SEND ME YOUR POLICY.
I'LL WORK UP A COMPARISON--
SAVE YOU 10%.
I DON'T DRIVE.
YOU DON'T DRIVE?
NO, BUT I WISH TO LEARN.
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED MY OWN AUTOMOBILE.
WHAT KIND WOULD YOU LIKE?
A SPORTS CAR.
YOU LIKE SPORTS CARS?
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A CAMARO?
NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, NADIA.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEARN TO DRIVE A SPORTS CAR?
JENK, I'M TELLING YOU.
I THINK SHE'S CALMING DOWN.
AT LEAST SHE'S THROUGH WITH THAT DUDE ON THE BIKE.
SHE'S RIGHT HERE.
NO, I'M NOT ACTUALLY LOOKING AT HER.
HOLD ON.
I HATE IT WHEN YOU'RE RIGHT.
OKAY, NOW...
( shouting )
SCALPEL.
THE OTHER SCALPEL.
Ioki: "'86 MERCURY SABLE, EXCELLENT CONDITION, $12,000 FIRM."
THAT'S 15.
I STILL THINK SAL LANDERS, GARAGE PHILOSOPHER
HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS.
SURE. LIKE WHERE DO THEY GET THE FRAME?
WHY CAN THEY USE THE SHOP?
HOW DO THEY DISAPPEAR SO FAST?
Jenko: WE RUN THESE ADS DOWN, WE WILL FIND THE SELLER
WHO IS PROBABLY AN ADULT CONNECTED TO STEVIE AND MARK.
I GOT ANOTHER ONE.
WONDERFUL.
JENKO, WE GOT A MAJOR PROBLEM.
WHAT'S THAT?
I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH NADIA.
YOU CAN'T KEEP UP WITH A 17-YEAR-OLD TOURIST?
TOURIST? THE ROLLING STONES COULDN'T TOUR WITH THIS GIRL.
TWO NIGHTS AGO IT WAS THE ROCK-AND-ROLL CLUB.
I TALKED HER OUT OF LEAVING TOWN WITH THE DRUMMER.
LAST NIGHT, IT WAS TWO SEEDY DUDES TEACHING HER SHOPLIFTING.
AND NOW, IT'S SOME YUPPIE
WHO DECIDED SHE NEEDS DRIVING LESSONS.
WHAT WAS HER NUMBER?
UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO BLOW MY COVER AND BADGE HER
I NEED HELP.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD HOOK HER UP WITH A GUY.
GROOVY IDEA.
I'M NOT MUCH FOR VOLUNTEERING, BUT IN THIS CASE...
SORRY, BUT HARRY'S ELECTED.
TAKE THIS LITTLE LADY OUT TO THE MOVIES.
JUST A NICE, QUIET DATE.
GOOD CHOICE, JENKO.
IF SHE'S WITH YOU
AT LEAST WE CAN KEEP TRACK OF HER.
WHY NOT LET HER RUN?
THIS GIRL WILL GET INTO TROUBLE.
THIS IS A WILD CHILD.
BEING AN IMMIGRANT, I'M A BIT OF AN EXPERT ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
I KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO HANDLE HER.
( clears throat )
GOOD MOVIE, HUH, GUYS?
GUYS?
NADIA, WHAT DO YOU SAY WE TAKE A BREAK?
SURE. ARE YOU HUNGRY?
YEAH. I'M REAL HUNGRY.
LET'S HIT THE CONCESSION STAND.
I'LL GET IT.
HOFFS, SHE IS AMAZING.
I AM FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT.
HI.
HELLO.
CAN I BUY YOU SOME POPCORN?
I HAVE MY OWN MONEY, THANK YOU.
I LIKE YOUR ACCENT. HUNGARIAN?
POLISH.
YOU KNOW, AMERICANS LOVE FOREIGN ACTRESSES.
BUT I AM NOT AN ACTRESS.
BUT YOU COULD BE.
CUT THE HUSTLE.
OKAY, I'M ONLY AN ATTORNEY.
BUT MY FIRM DOES REPRESENT SOME FILM PEOPLE.
YOU'RE AN ATTORNEY?
BRUCE PLESSER, AT YOUR SERVICE.
WHAT KIND OF AUTOMOBILE DO YOU DRIVE?
A PORSCHE, WHY?
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO FOR A RIDE
IN A PORSCHE WITH AN ATTORNEY.
SO ANYWAY, WE HAVE THIS THING ABOUT SIX MONTHS
WHEN MY WIFE'S MOTHER PASSES ON
AND LEAVES US THIS B.M.W.
SORRY TO HEAR THAT--
ABOUT YOUR WIFE'S MOTHER, AND ALL.
WE DIDN'T WANT TO KEEP UP
THE PAYMENTS OR THE INSURANCE ON THIS.
I HEAR YOU, GOOD BUDDY.
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
SHE'S SURE CLEAN. DAMN.
HOW DOES SHE RUN?
LIKE A SIX-MONTH-OLD CAR.
IT'S STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY.
I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE A DEAL.
OKAY, GOOD. GOOD.
WOULD YOU MIND IF I LOOKED AT THAT REGISTRATION?
I DON'T BLAME YOU.
I'VE HEARD STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE SELLING CARS
THEY DON'T EVEN OWN.
I KNOW IT.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT ONE?
SURE AS HELL LOOKS ALL RIGHT TO ME.
BUT THE THING IS...
I'VE GOT TO CHECK THIS OUT WITH THE LITTLE WOMAN.
I HEAR YOU, MAN.
MR. DELANSI, MANY THANKS. I'LL GIVE YOU A HOLLER.
IT'S DELANO.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE LITTLE WOMAN, MR. JENKY.
THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW WHERE I'M AT.
YES, SIR, I RECKON I DO.
TAKE CARE NOW, YOU HEAR?
MARIO DELANO IS THE LEGAL CAR OWNER.
HE BOUGHT THE FRAME AT THE INSURANCE AUCTION.
WAIT. "OUR FRIEND MARIO OWNS A USED-CAR LOT."
MARIO IS THE GUY THAT USES STEVIE AND MARK
TO DRIVE THE CARS TO THE AUCTION.
THE INSURANCE AUCTION.
REMEMBER THEIR JOB OFFER?
STEVIE DELANO MUST BE MARIO'S BROTHER.
BUT JENK SAID HE WAS SELLING A MERCURY OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY.
NOBODY LIKES USED-CAR DEALERS.
HE PROBABLY BRINGS CARS HOME
AND SELLS THEM FROM THE NEWSPAPER.
AW, MAN!
SO STEVIE AND MARK GO OUT AND STEAL A CAR
STRIP IT, STORE THE PARTS
AND PUT THE FRAME ON THE STREET.
THE OWNER REPORTS IT STOLEN.
THE COPS FIND THE FRAME.
THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALS IT AND PAYS OFF THE OWNER.
NOW THE BOY GENIUSES BUY THE FRAME AT THE AUCTION
AND THEY LEGALLY OWN THE CAR.
THEY ALREADY HAVE THE OTHER PARTS.
ONCE THEY REBUILD IT, IT'S THEIRS TO SELL-- LEGALLY.
FOR ABOUT 12 GRAND.
THAT'S A NICE PROFIT.
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.
THEY STOLE THE CAR, STRIPPED IT
AND THEN BOUGHT THE FRAME BACK.
THEY LEGALLY OWN THE CAR ONCE IT'S REBUILT.
YES, SIR.
THAT'S BRILLIANT.
THIS IS THE BEST CLASS I'VE EVER HAD.
YOU SAY YOU GET THE CARS FROM A USED-CAR DEALER?
YEAH, MARIO DELANO.
HE DONATES IT, AND WE REBUILD IT.
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
WHY DO YOU THINK...?
WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE MARIO DELANO IS SO GENEROUS?
HE'S A PHILANTHROPIST-- DOES IT FOR TAX PURPOSES.
YEAH, RIGHT.
WHAT ABOUT THAT 20 DELANO GAVE YOU?
HE BUSTED A TOOL.
I GUESS HE'S BETTER OFF STEALING THEM THAN FIXING THEM.
MR. LANDERS,
AS A POLICE OFFICER, I CAUTION YOU NOT TO INTERFERE
WITH AN INVESTIGATION OR WARN THE PERPETRATORS.
IT'S ONE THING TO ADMIRE INGENUITY.
IT'S ANOTHER TO INTERFERE WITH THE CHARACTER OF MY STUDENTS.
I WAS HOPING YOU'D SAY THAT.
FOUR CARS AND THEY HAVE ENOUGH CASH
TO BUY THAT GARAGE OUT OF PROBATE.
THEY'LL BE SEWING NAMES ON OVERALLS BY GRADUATION.
SO WE WAIT FOR THEM TO STEAL ANOTHER CAR
AND HOPE WE GET INVITED ALONG?
I THINK WE HAVE TO HELP THEM A LITTLE BIT.
MAY I HELP YOU?
I'M IN TOWN A FEW DAYS
AND I WANT TO RENT A CAR.
LET ME GUESS-- YOU'RE A FERRARI MAN.
MERCEDES.
DO YOU HAVE A 560 SL?
WE HAVE A BURGUNDY AND A WHITE ONE.
$150 A DAY, PLUS 50 CENTS A MILE.
I'LL TAKE THE BURGUNDY.
VERY GOOD, SIR.
WE OFFER NO COMPREHENSIVE ON THESE LUXURY CARS.
YOU'RE COVERED BY YOUR OWN POLICY.
THAT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.
NOT UNLESS IT GETS STOLEN.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.
I DON'T KNOW.
IF YOU GUYS DON'T WANT IT, LET ME KNOW.
I GOT A DATE THIS WEEKEND.
I COULD BORROW IT FOR MYSELF.
SHE'S ONLY BEEN GONE ONE NIGHT.
SHE'S BEEN GONE ALMOST TWO DAYS.
THIS COULD BE AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT.
POLICE PARADING AS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS?
WHO HAS HEARD OF SUCH A THING?
JENNIFER AND HER GIRLFRIEND DIDN'T GO HOME, EITHER.
THEY'RE PROBABLY ALL PARTYING SOMEWHERE.
THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
( laughing )
( siren wailing )
( throbbing dance music playing )
( siren stops )
( all laughing and squealing )
COME ON, GET OUT OF THERE.
COME ON, GET OUT.
CAN YOU HELP ME UP?
CAN I HAVE YOUR HAT?
( laughing )
I THOUGHT AMERICA WAS DIFFERENT--
THAT THE SECRET POLICE DID NOT FOLLOW THE PEOPLE AROUND.
THEY WERE TRYING TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE.
AND TO MAKE SURE THE LITTLE COMMUNIST
DOESN'T RECRUIT YOUNG MINDS TO THE "RED MENACE.'
THAT'S NOT IT.
TRUST ME.
TRUST YOU.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT POLITICS.
I WAS TOLD TO DO A JOB--
TO EASE YOU IN AND MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME.
THAT'S A LOT MORE THAN JENNIFER ATKINSON WAS DOING.
AT LEAST JENNIFER WAS UP FRONT WITH ME
ABOUT WHO SHE IS.
NADIA, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?
TALK ABOUT WHAT?
TALK ABOUT WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU.
ALL THIS RUNNING AROUND.
FIVE DAYS, NINE GUYS.
THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
MAYBE NOT, BUT WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT, IF YOU'D LIKE.
I AM JUST ENJOYING MYSELF--
EXPERIENCING LIFE AS AN AMERICAN TEENAGER WOULD.
THAT'S ALL.
YOU'RE A LOT SMARTER THAN THAT.
IN THREE WEEKS
I AM GOING BACK TO POLAND.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS LIKE.
I HAVE SOME IDEA FROM WHAT YOU'VE TOLD ME.
THAT IS JUST THE SURFACE, JUDY.
UNDERNEATH IT IS EVEN MORE BLEAK.
COMMUNISM BORES THE PEOPLE TO DEATH.
YOU'RE STARTING TO SOUND LIKE MR. RAMSEY.
HE IS NOT SO WRONG.
ESPECIALLY ONCE YOU HAVE SEEN THIS COUNTRY.
EVER SINCE I WAS 12 YEARS OLD
I DREAMED OF THE DAY I WOULD COME TO AMERICA.
AND WHEN I GOT HERE...
IT WAS EVEN MORE.
I WANT TO STAY.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY?
THERE IS ONLY MY FATHER.
MY MOTHER, SHE DIED WHEN I WAS 10.
MY FATHER WOULD NEVER LEAVE POLAND.
SO I DON'T GET IT.
WHY THE RIDE IN THE FAST LANE?
YOU'RE TRYING TO CRAM
A LIFETIME INTO FOUR WEEKS?
I'M LOOKING FOR A HUSBAND.
YOU SEE, IF I MARRY WHILE I AM HERE
I CAN EMIGRATE RIGHT AWAY.
YOU'RE LOOKING THE WRONG WAY.
PERHAPS.
BUT I HAVEN'T MUCH TIME.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE?
YES, I HAVE.
WERE YOU VERY MUCH IN LOVE WITH HIM?
VERY MUCH.
YOU ARE VERY LUCKY.
Hanson: DON'T WORRY.
WE'LL BE THERE IN PLENTY OF TIME.
LOOK, GUYS, IT'S A MERCEDES.
RELAX, IF THEY DISASSEMBLE IT
THEY'LL PUT IT BACK TOGETHER.
BETTER THAN BEFORE. THEY'RE GOOD.
IF ANYTHING HAPPENS
TO THAT CAR, IT'S MY INSURANCE.
SHOULD WE HAVE GONE THROUGH CHANNELS
TO GET A PLYMOUTH IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS?
Penhall: THIS WAY YOU CAN SHARE THE COLLAR.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
OH, MY GOD, MAN.
WHERE'S THE CAR?
OH, NO!
OH, MY GOD!
MY...
OH, MY GOD, THE FRAME IS ON FIRE.
WHAT IS THIS?
THEY MUST HAVE STRIPPED IT FOR THE PARTS.
YOU SAID THEY'D REBUILD IT!
SOMETIMES THE PARTS ARE WORTH MORE THAN THE CAR.
Penhall: THEY TRASHED THE FRAME TO KILL THE EVIDENCE.
OH, RIGHT.
NOW YOU TELL ME.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
I'M A DEAD MAN!
I'LL NEVER GET INSURANCE AGAIN.
YOU GUYS ARE TURNING ME INTO A HIGH RISK.
YOU ALREADY WERE.
YOU'RE DEAD.
I'LL KILL YOU BOTH, MAN.
I'LL KILL YOU.
GENTLEMEN, MARIO DELANO.
CAN I HELP YOU?
STEVIE SAID YOU WERE LOOKING FOR DRIVERS.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HOT SHOTS.
YOU'RE LATE.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE SOME STOPS.
LIKE WHERE?
LIKE CLOCKER PAUL'S.
HOW MUCH?
50 EACH CAR, EACH RUN.
NOT BAD FOR JOCKEYING CARS?
SOUND GOOD TO YOU?
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
BY THE WAY, WHERE CAN WE FIND
STEVIE AND MARK?
THEY'RE IN THE BACK.
MAKE IT FAST.
OH, ONE MORE THING, MARIO.
Hanson: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.
WHAT?
YOU ARE BUSTED.
HA, HA.
BOOK HIM, DANO.
HEY.
HI, GUYS.
WHAT'S IN THE TRUCK?
A 560 SL WITHOUT THE FRAME.
359 PARTS LABELED AND READY FOR DISTRIBUTION.
NO KIDDING!
Steve: YEAH.
GOOD JOB.
THANKS.
A PIECE OF CAKE?
THREE HOURS AND TEN MINUTES.
Hanson: NO KIDDING.
THAT'S NOT BAD FOR MY FIRST FOREIGN LUXURY CAR.
THINKING ABOUT PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER?
PARTS ARE WORTH MORE THAN THE WHOLE.
OH, YEAH, RIGHT.
GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE
SOME EXCRUCIATINGLY BAD NEWS FOR YOU.
WE'RE COPS.
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
I LOVE THESE GUYS.
THESE GUYS ARE GREAT.
WE REALLY ARE COPS.
I THINK THEY'RE SERIOUS.
YOU GUYS ARE REALLY COPS?
OH, GEEZ.
OH, MAN.
WHAT A LOUSY WAY TO MAKE A LIVING.
HOW CAN YOU DO THIS?
YOU'RE RUINING THE DREAM, MAN.
JULY 1?
MAYBE WE CAN MAKE A DEAL.
WHAT ABOUT 10,000 BUCKS?
WELL, NOW, BOYS AND GIRLS...
YOU KNOW IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT.
THEY'RE RUNNING?
THEY'RE RUNNING.
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
THEY KNOW WHERE WE LIVE.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE.
I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING, NADIA.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN.
WHO'S THAT?
OH, THAT IS MY NEW FRIEND...
CHRIS.
MAYBE YOU'LL WRITE EACH OTHER?
UM, MAYBE.
AND MAYBE YOU'LL COME BACK ONE DAY?
MAYBE.
GOOD-BYE, JUDY.
GOOD-BYE.
THAT'S THE LAST OF IT, DUDE.
IT TOOK OVER THREE WEEKS
BUT WE SOLD EVERY PART OF THAT MERCEDES.
IT'S STILL SHORT.
JENK'S DOCKING US SIX MONTHS FOR IGNORING PROCEDURE.
WHAT?
I THOUGHT THE PARTS WERE WORTH
MORE THAN THE WHOLE CAR.
NOT WHEN YOU'RE SELLING TO LEGITIMATE DEALERS.
I'M JUST GLAD THAT I GOT THE DOUGH.
MY INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD HAVE
REFUSED TO COVER MY BICYCLE.
IOKI, IT'S THE LEAST WE COULD DO.
