This summer's gonna be great, right, Gus?
Yeah, it can't get any worse than last summer. That's for sure.
See, last summer was a learning experience.
For instance, we learned where my father keeps his cigars.
Now, Joe, you shouldn't be smokin'. Man, it's bad for you.
Rolled on the thighs of Cuban honeys.
I swear, this summer's gonna be a ten.
Ten plus.
Borderline 1 1 !
See? I told you not to be smoking.
Holy smokes!
Hey, Gus.
Hey, Joe.
Oh, Gus!
- This is gonna be great, isn't it? - It's gonna be a ten, Joe.
A ten? A ten plus.
Borderline 1 1 !
- It's quiet in here, Joe. - Boy, it is.
I wonder where everybody is.
Oh, it sounds like they're in the kitchen.
I don't care what they say, all right?
It doesn't matter what people say .
But they called pops and uncle Gus jerks.
If they were jerks,
they wouldn't have won the fishing contest.
We weren't gonna let them get away with this.
All right, you heard me. No more fightin', all right?
- Your fathers are not jerks. - Yeah, tell that--
hey, w-what's goin' on?
Take a look at your sons.
Were you guys, uh, playin' football again?
They're gonna be good football players, Joe.
They sure are, Gus. They're gonna be great like Gus.
Yeah. Yeah.
So, does anybody want to help us pack or what?
- I want to help-- - would you help your fathers?
But I wanna just tell you one thing.
Uh-oh, here comes little miss one thing's speech.
Gus, this Billy ''catch'' pooler's the best, ain't he?
Even though they say that only idiots use these lures,
it's the idiots who ain't using 'em that's the idiots.
We won his fishin' contest, Joe. Man, I can't believe it!
- And remember-- - he's the greatest, Joe.
Dad, look. Are you gonna wear your shorts?
Yeah, they're my lucky shorts.
Baby, get my lucky shorts too, okay?
You gotta be the one you want to catch.
- Yeah, you can have that. - Hey, keep packing, guys.
It's the hands, the hands. Believe in your hands.
You gotta flick. Flick.
- And dip. - Dip.
- Flick. - Flick.
- And dip. - Dip.
Okay, everybody, come on. Let's help the contest winners pack.
Okay, everybody. You're doing a good job.
Okay, everybody out now.
- 'Cause me and aunt cookie-- - thanks. All right.
--We wanna say one thing to your fathers.
- Find mine, Tracey. - All right, listen.
We know how important this trip is to you. We really do.
But I just gotta say this one thing. One thing.
- Thanksgiving's on Thursday, you know? - Thursday.
And call me silly, but I'm worried...
That you're gonna end up in the hospital or somethin' like last year.
- Or in jail like you did the year before. - Yeah.
Everything's gonna be fine. Yeah, this is gonna be good.
Come on. Everything's okay.
But here's the thing. You've gone fishin' every year since before we knew you,
and so far everything has never been okay and fine.
And you've never been as far away as Florida.
But that's why this trip is so nice. That's why it's so important.
I mean, we're goin' to the everglades. That's the biggie, right, Joe?
Yeah, the everglades. Hey, listen to this.
We're gonna catch tarpon, snook, pompano--
- catch this. - I know you'll love that.
If you two are not back by Thanksgiving,
we have agreed to kill you.
Yeah, that's what's gonna happen.
Whooooo! Whooooo!
Donna, don't forget now,
because I want that recipe.
Football. Don't forget football.
Bye.
- Okay. Hey, 4:30. - 4:30.
- You know, 4:30. - Open this door.
- You got the key, lady? - No. Here.
- Good morning. - Good morning. Hi, honey.
Joe?
- Got the boat? - Check.
- Coupons? - Check.
- Beer, gear, dramamine? - Check, check, check.
- Insert Billy ''catch'' pooler tape. - Check that too.
We've gone fishin'!
''What on earth could make a man happier...
Than o.F.H. In the g.O.M.?''
what's that stuff you was readin'?
O.F.H., g.O.M.? What's that mean?
That's optimum fishing hour in the Gulf of Mexico.
Hmm, alligators. Hey, Joe, listen to this.
''Alligators will attack their prey, but not eat them immediately.
''Often, they will drag their unlucky half-dead victim...
''Into their cave, where they will let the carcass rot,
nibbling on them at their delight.''
a-and this too.
''Legend has it that alligators are vengeful creatures.
''If threatened or disturbed,
''they will become obsessed with their target, not resting...
Until they have successfully unleashed their retribution.''
ohhh! Obsessed?
Yeah, obsessed, man. I mean, they could follow you to the end of the world.
Wow! Hey, check this out.
Boy, holy smokes. Hey, Gus, we don't have to worry about that, right?
- We're gonna be fishin', right? - Right, right, right, right.
Yeah. Hey, Joe, it-it's nice gettin' away, man.
Oh, yeah.
The little one weighs 62.
Boy, that's somethin'!
Yeah, she's pretty good, huh?
It's a killer!
I-it's okay.
And it's got some fish.
Yeah. Hey, what kind of fish is that?
- Ah, a grouper. - Grouper, huh? And what's this?
That's a strawberry grouper.
Strawberry grouper, huh? I thought it was a salmon.
- Yeah, that's a strawberry grouper. - What's this one, Gus?
- Kingfish. - Kingfish, huh?
Yeah.
Hey, Gus, if we had money, we'd set this up different, right?
We'd catch a lot of fish.
- Yeah, who needs it? - Yeah.
- Guys who can't fish. - Exactly.
L-look at it this way Gus. You was a great football player, right?
Yeah.
If a great football player got a bad football--
- he's still a great football player. - Exactly.
Hey, how about this clean, fresh Florida air?
Hey, a real Florida palm tree in the flesh.
Holy smoke! Gus, I never thought I'd see a palm tree.
- I feel like a million dollars, Joe. - I feel like two million.
Let's go eat.
- And then fish. - Yeah.
No, no. You got the last one. It's on me. Forget about it.
Hey, Joe, check out them ugly sticks.
Hey, don't say that.
- They gonna break. - You got number nine ready?
Here you go.
Let's sit over here. Hey, don't say that.
Hey, Gus, I can't friggin' believe you. You tell me, ''look at these ugly chicks.''
I was gonna laugh right in their faces over there.
I said, ''ugly sticks.'' For fishin'.
Oh, I thought you said ''ugly chicks'' 'cause this girl's sittin' there.
You gotta have ugly sticks here because they feed a lot of fishermen.
- Hiya. - Hi.
Y'all know what you want?
Uh--
hey, Gus. What do you think, Gus? Should I get this Southern plate?
Then you can have my toast and my bacon.
Yeah, then I'll get the Fisherman's feast,
and you can have my sausage and pancakes.
If you're gonna do that,
why don't I get the mariner and you can have the whole side of ham?
Oh, never mind us. This happens all the time.
Must be enjoyable for ya.
May I suggest the Panama platter? It really hit the spot.
- Oh, yeah? - Thanks.
Um... what do you think? Shall we get a couple of those?
- Yeah, a couple of those. - Two of those?
- A couple of those, yeah. - Yeah. Thanks.
- Gus, check this out. - Yeah.
- Pure Billy ''catch'' pooler. Watch this. - Okay.
Back, drop.
- Back, drop. - Y-you're flickin' too much.
- I can't get the flick. - Okay, wait. Let me show you.
Which is the flick and which is the dip?
It's in the wrist. Think of flick instead of flip.
- Flick. - Flick, dip.
See, I can't--i get the flick and the dip mixed all the time.
- Uh, pardon me. - Oh, sorry.
I couldn't help noticing you have a fishing lure on your key ring.
Yeah.
That wouldn't be a deadly invader, would it?
It is!
- You fish? - Not professionally.
You could call me a frustrated amateur.
You're a frustrated amateur.
- That's good. - I was just kiddin'. Just makin' a joke.
- It was a joke. - Oh, yeah, yeah.
What about you two? You're professionals, right?
Well, I guess you could say that, in a way.
We're semi-pro. We won a lot of fishin' medals and things like that.
- Not lately, though. - Well, scout camp--
that counts, doesn't it? Stuff like that.
- Sorry, the reason I ask is--sorry. Sorry. - Oh.
- Do you mind if I join you? - No, come on.
Thanks.
You see, my father was a professional fisherman.
- Really? - He was telling me...
That he was working on the deadly invader.
You know, I think this might have been one of his last original designs.
- By the way, I'm Joe. - Oh, uh, Martin.
- How ya doin'? - Martin jeffries.
Gus. Yeah.
- Anyway, are you two married? - Uh, yeah, yeah.
- Children? - No, they're our age.
- No, I don't think that's what he meant.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Do you have children? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- They all get together. - They're great kids, though.
- See, Fiona and I, we never had children. - Oh, geez.
When Fiona died, I suddenly realized...
I'd wasted so much of my life, you know?
- I'd spent 20 years behind a desk. - That's a long time to be sittin'.
- You're 1 00% right. - Right, Joe?
- I was always jealous of men like you. - Really?
Of course, I'm changing all that now, you know. My life's different.
Listen, I won't hold you up. Anyway, look, it was a real honor meeting you.
- Hey, the pleasure's ours. - Yeah, thanks.
Thanks so much. And good luck with the fishing.
Yeah. Hey, try fishing. You'll see.
- I'll give it a try. - All right. He's a nice guy, huh?
Hey, what kind of accent is that? Polish or somethin'?
- I think it's Irish. - Yeah, Irish, Scottish.
Here. I'm glad y'all didn't buy a bridge from that gentleman.
Why? He seemed like a nice guy. He didn't try to sell us anything.
- Seemed like a nice guy havin' a tough time. - Oh, really?
The poor guy just recently lost his wife, you know?
Yeah.
Did you know you just recently lost your car?
Hey Gus, look at that, there's a car just like mine!
Joe, that's your car!
It is! With my keys!
Hey, Joe!
Holy smokes!
It's simple.
When we find that guy who stole my mom's money and broke her heart,
I'm gonna kill him.
- Food. - What--what?
Food.
Oh, no. Come on. We already lost two hours.
- Hi. - Hi. How are you?
Okay. What happened?
Oh, we just had ourselves a little boatin' accident.
Some fella stole a car.
- Big mess. - Oh, yeah?
He didn't happen to look like this guy, did he?
Well, that was him.
- He was here! - Well, when did he leave?
- A couple hours ago. - Was he alone?
When he got here.
Then he sat over at that table with a couple of fellas and...
They chit-chatted for a while and--and he took their car.
Those guys whose car was stolen, what about them?
Oh, you shouldn't have any trouble findin' them.
My poor car, Gus. My poor car.
My poor feet. Hey.
Hey, you dorks!
This trip ain't even a one. It's a friggin' zero.
- It could be worse, Joe. - How could it be worse?
You can't get any lower than zero, right, Gus?
Hey, at least we're alive. We almost got killed by our own boat.
My life stinks, Gus. But it stunk a lot less when my car was in it.
- Yeah. - That car meant a lot to me, Gus.
I got memories of that car i can't even remember.
Yeah, but at least we're goin' fishing.
Yeah.
- Hey, Joe? - Yeah?
I-i was just thinkin'. Say, 1 00 years ago we were goin' fishin'.
- This is what we'd be doin'. - What do you mean?
Yeah, think about it.
This is how we'd get our boat to the water.
So we can't let that guy ruin our Florida vacation, eh?
Hey, maybe you're right.
Yeah, and 1 ,000 years ago, we wouldn't even have paved roads.
Hey, that's right, Gus. It would be filled with rocks and everything, right?
Y-y-yeah. And the boats would be heavier.
That's right. Don't forget we got the latest technology wood.
This boat's light, right, Gus?
Yeah, and guess what, Joe? A million years ago,
we wouldn't even have wheels for our trailer.
And we wouldn't even have a friggin' trailer, right, Gus?
A-a-and Gus, if it was that long ago, our brains would be smaller.
We wouldn't even think about anything like that.
- Oh, man, yeah. So, it may not be a ten yet-- - yeah.
But it definitely ain't a zero.
Hey, hey!
- Hey, Gus, they're pulling over. - Yeah.
- Hey. - Hey, Gus.
- Yeah? - Babes.
You guys need a ride?
Gus, what kind of knot did you tie?
A double shambo figure eight.
You went over, under, over. Uh, the shambo goes over, under, under.
- Hey, Joe, trust me. It's over, under. - It's under, under.
- Hi. - Hi.
Hey, you know, it's really nice of you girls to give us a ride like this.
We really appreciate it.
- Yeah. - You're welcome.
It's really too bad about your car. I feel bad.
- We feel bad too, yeah. - Yeah. Hmm.
Did you report the car stolen? Yeah, with the deputy.
Cause the sheriff was out fishin'. Ain't that a bummer?
Y-you know the-- you know your license plate number, right?
That's the one thing that Joe does remember.
That's right. Uh, ''jgtt542.''
- wait, wait, can you--what is it? - ''J'' what? Wait.
Could you do that again?
Maybe I'll bump into the police, and I can help you.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
- Thank you. That's nice of you. - One more time.
- ''J'' for Joe, ''g'' for Gus-- - that's me.
''T'' for tuna, ''t'' for trout.
''5,'' I was five years old the first time I tasted beer.
And ''42'' was Gus's old football Jersey before he dislocated both his knees.
Yeah, but that's not how I hurt my knees, you know. I sleepwalk when I eat red meat.
- Sleepwalk? - That's right. Hey, listen to this.
One time at a July 4th barbecue we had--
after it was over, Gus sleepwalked all the way over to the 7-1 1 on the interstate.
Got wiped out by a motorcycle. Almost killed him. Hey, true story, I swear to god.
- It's a true story. - Right, Gus?
- Yeah, right. - Excuse us.
Hey, we'll talk to you later.
Hey, hey, you know, Joe?
Life is so unpredictable, man.
One minute, we're draggin' our boat,
next minute, we're gettin' a ride with babes!
Hey, you know somethin' else? I think they find us attractive.
- Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Notice that?
Hey, maybe they think we're cute.
- Yeah, yeah. - W-why not? What's wrong with us?
We have the license plate number. We know that it's a blue barracuda.
And if we see this guy, we're going to call the police.
Of course, we're gonna call the police. What do you think?
Okay.
- Hey, hey, remember the killer looks? - The what?
- The killer looks. - Killer looks?
Oh, Joe! Your memory's so bad. In high school.
We'd be sittin' in the bleachers and givin' the killer looks...
To Susan Dixon and Marilyn Mitchell.
- Oh, yeah! Killer looks! - Yeah.
What we gotta do is figure out what to do with these guys.
You know what? I was thinkin' of that low-down dir--
that's if--
- hi. - Hi.
- What's wrong? - Are you guys all right?
Oh, we're good, yeah.
Okay, well, um, look, I just need to ask you-- the guy who stole your car--
was he carrying anything? Like a-- like a black bag or a suitcase or--
uh, it was-- it looked more like a purse to me.
Yeah, yeah, he was a man with a purse, yeah.
Oh, yeah, well, this guy with the purse, did he maybe...
Tell you which way he was going or something like that?
- Yeah, yeah. Yeah. - Uh, no. That's all we know, really.
How come you're asking so many questions?
Yeah.
Well, it's because-- the guy who stole your car--
no, the guy--
- hey, Joe, the beer! - Gus! Get the beer, Gus!
- I got it, Joe. - Get the beer.
Hey, Joe!
Hey, good save, Gus! Good save!
Oh, Gus!
J-Joe!
Hey, Joe!
Hey, hold on, Joe! I'm coming!
- Thanks, Gus. - Hey.
Hey, Gus, I told you it was under and under.
Yeah, okay, Joe. Maybe you're right.
Hey, nice r.V., Gus.
Hey, Gus, is there any way to steer this thing?
I-i-i don't know. We better find a way to stop it, though.
- Where'd they go? - What?
Th-they're gone.
The boat, the beer, everything. They're gone!
Weird.
- Hey, Gus. - Huh?
- The anchor. - Get it, Joe. Throw it.
- Hey, Gus. - Yeah.
- It was just like a ride. - Yeah.
Uh-oh.
Train! Train!
Hey, Gus, you pushing or pulling? Pushin'.
- It's stuck on something. -
Joe, go get the--go get the anchor!
- Hurry up! - I'm doin' it.
Hurry up!
Let's go.
Boy, that was close, Gus.
You know who I feel sorry for, Gus?
- Who? - Those girls. You know, the babes.
Yeah.
I bet they're drivin' all around lookin' for us, right?
Yeah, you're probably right, Joe.
Hey, look at this setup, huh, Gus?
Where're you guys headed?
Uh, we're goin' to the everglades.
- Hop in. - Hey, thanks.
I usually use a 80-pound test line...
With a bluefin ii 1 955 stand-up rods with those uni-butts,
so I can pull it out of the rod holder when the fish is pulling hard.
Do you anchor or do you drift?
- We usually power drift along the break. - If we can find one.
Yeah.
Oh, and set each hook bait with a different depth.
Man, we know a ton of great fishin' secrets.
Last year, the everglades were like a feeding frenzy.
No way you weren't gonna catch some beauties.
Oh yeah, don't worry about your boat. Ours is big enough for all four of us.
- Hey, Joe! - Hey, Gus, that's my car!
Hey, stop!
We'll be all right now. I got my car.
- Hey, where are you guys headin'? - Tigertail lagoon.
- Alright then. - Hey, we'll see you there.
Good luck.
- Guys are lucky, ain't they? - Yeah. Oh, man, I know.
I wish I was them.
Hey, where is the guy that, uh, parked this car?
- Yeah. - He's in the John.
What are you doin', Joey?
He's gonna get a little piece of Newark, Gus.
- Oh, come on, Joey. It ain't worth it. - It's worth it, Gus.
- No, it's not worth it, Joey! - It's worth it, Gus!
- Hey, what about o.F.H. First? - It's worth it.
Oh, man.
Hey! Hey! Look what you're doin' there.
Hey, what's going on over there?
Joe, what about o.F.H.? Man, we still got time.
It's not worth it! It's not worth it! He's got a gun!
- He's got a gun? Shoot! - Got a gun.
Come on, Joe! He's got a gun!
Hurry up!
- Hey, mister. Hey! - Let's go!
It's against the law to start your car while I'm pumping gas!
Oh, boy, that was close, Gus.
- That guy could've killed us, Joe. - I know.
Joe, what happened?
I went in. I was gonna hit him with the club, see.
He was lookin' for me. He was underneath the toilet.
Yeah, yeah.
So I get up on top, and the club gets caught on this, uh, thing.
- And I look, and he's got a gun. - Was it real?
No, he's loadin' a water pistol. Yeah, it was real!
So I ran outta there right away, and I ran into you.
- Where was you goin'? - I-i was comin' in to help you.
Coming to help me?
As soon as I tell you it was a gun, you was the first one in the car.
Yeah, that's why I ran first. I got longer legs, man.
Yeah, you were scared, Gus.
What's goin' on?
I don't know, man.
God! There must be a fire or somethin', huh? Man.
Yeah.
Hey, Gus, check in there. See if this guy touched anything.
I'll kill him if he touched anything in this car.
Better not have touched our tapes.
Yeah, the tapes are in there too. What's that?
- A knife. - Holy smokes!
Yeah.
Hey, Gus, it looks like it's got blood on it.
Sure does. There's blood on it, Joe.
Hey, we could use it to scale our fish.
Yeah, that's a good idea. We'll use it to scale our fish.
It feels good to get the car back, Gus. I'll tell you that.
Smells good too.
Yeah.
Holy smokes! Look at this place, Gus!
- Yeah, this must be it, Joe. - Yeah.
But the sign says ''rod & gun club,'' Gus.
Oh. Glory glades must be a few miles away.
- Yeah, this ain't it, huh? - Yeah.
- It's probably just as nice. - I bet it's even nicer.
- Yeah, that's right. - Yeah.
So far, Gus, i-i don't like the landscaping, I'll tell ya that.
Yeah, somebody ain't doin' their job, that's for sure.
This must be where the workers stay. Let's ask somebody.
Yeah, let's go ask.
Sure doesn't look like a paradise, Joe.
Howdy there, folks. Can I help y'all?
Yeah, we're lookin' for glory glades lodge.
This here's it.
This is it? No, no. Like here.
Show him the coupon. See? Glory glades.
- That glory glades. - Ah, the lodge!
We got two coupons we won.
It was a beautiful lodge, but she's gone now.
Gone?
Hurricane Andrew flattened it flatter than flat.
Took us ten months to clean this place up.
But not to worry. We got plenty of room. Let me see that coupon again.
Oh, yeah, here.
Hmm. Well, y'all can stay in one of them campers.
We gotta stay in there? Both of us?
Why, that's a big camper. There's room for four or five people
in there, and it's just the two of you, right?
- You ain't got no pets, have you? - Ain't you got nothin' else?
Oh, that's the top of the line there. I don't think you want what else we got.
- I guess we'll go check it out. - Yeah.
That's the top of the line. I just cleaned her out.
Hey, hey, give me that!
Friggin' slob.
I'll tell you what, Gus. It doesn't look anything like the picture.
Yeah, they should've sent us a new brochure
if they're gonna change the picture like that.
- Yeah. - Yeah,
they got a lotta nerve callin' this first prize.
I wonder what the losers got. Six months in sing sing?
- Yeah, maybe. - Careful. Why don't you go first?
There might be rats. Go ahead, you're bigger.
- Me? - Go ahead.
It's okay. Come on in, Joe.
- Richard? - Who was dionysus?
Correct. Holidays and observances for 1 00.
In 1 91 5, president Wilson proclaimed this holiday as the second Sunday in may.
Richard.
- What is mother's day? - Right.
Yeah, change it.
- It's a stupid show anyway. - Yeah, I know.
Hey, country's criminals. This is a good show.
- Yeah, I like this one. - Yeah, you see some action stuff here.
I love you so much, Gladys. I could not live without you.
- Honestly. - Sure he could.
Gladys sussner is one of 43 women...
Who this ruthless con artist married and then stole from.
Wow, 43 ladies.
And it was Gladys who was found dead with stab wounds.
This man is the prime suspect.
- Hey, Gus, look who it is! - Dekker massey.
- It's the guy who stole my car! - Yeah!
Dekker's partner, his educationally challenged brother Quentin...
This guy's a killer, and we didn't even know it.
But the police and the federal authorities...
Are still searching for dekker massey and the murder weapon.
Hey, we got the evidence.
We don't have any evidence, Joe.
- A $1 00,000 reward... - A $1 00,000 reward!
For evidence linking massey to the crime.
Joe, the knife in the car!
The knife! Yeah, with the blood on it.
Yeah, with the blood on it.
Maybe he used that to stab that poor old lady.
- Yeah. - Holy smokes, Gus!
And $5 million in cash and jewelry,
believed to have been hidden away by dekker's brother, is still missing.
- Joe--we're gonna be rich, Joe! - We're gonna be rich!
- If you can help us, please call today. - Gus, write down the number!
- Write the number down! - We'll be right back.
I don't believe it, Gus. A hundred thousand dollars. We're gonna be rich, Gus.
All we have to do is turn the knife in, and we get the reward Joe!
Gus, you know what we'll do. Tomorrow we buy a fishing boat first and go fishin'!
Yeah, we'll get a boat just like our old one, Joe!
Better! Better, Gus!
- Joe, this is easy. - Oh, man, I can't believe it.
- No more worries, Gus. - No more worries, Joe!
What's blank ''shrugged.'' Five letters, ending in an ''s.''
that'd be ''atlas,'' as in atlas shrugged by ayn rand,
a Russian-born American writer.
Oh, yeah.
Is the manager in?
That'd be myself.
Yeah?
Wonderful. Listen.
I was wondering if you're still honoring these?
What the hell is it with these-- damn coupons?
Why, has somebody else been in with one? Two fellas come in last night.
- They still here? - No, they gone this mornin'.
Do you know where they've gone?
They asked me where they could buy a boat.
And did you suggest a place?
Yep.
Which place?
Phil beasly's.
Oh, it's nice, Joe. It has a kitchen.
You know, hey, Joe, this is real nice.
- Hey, let me see. - Hey, yeah, nice kitchen.
- Oh, yeah. - Beds.
But these are pleasure boats, Gus.
- See? - Oh, that's nice, Joe.
- They're not fishin' boats. - Yeah.
- We don't need that. - We don't need that.
The guys who can't fish get these. They're show-offs.
They're pleasure boats. Here's one like our old one.
- Yeah. - Holy smokes!
- Whoo! - Why is it so expensive, Gus?
Because we bought ours used 20 years ago. Yeah.
Yeah. Hey, Joe, maybe we oughta just fish off the dock,
like we used to do in the old days, yeah?
Look, I don't care. You wanna just rent one? We'll rent one.
Yeah, we can rent one. Then we'll buy a real nice used one
when we get back home.
- It's sad, isn't it? - What?
The little guy.
That's what we call this boat. ''The little guy.''
oh! 'Cause you mean, you got all the big guys around--i see, yeah.
Right. Phil beasly, sr.
- Uh, Gus. - Uh, Joe.
Yeah, the little guy's sad. But you know what's sadder?
Follow me, guys.
- The little guy.
- Yeah, but maybe he'll show us somethin' real nice.
- Watch your step here, guys. - Yeah.
- Hey, how much further? - Oh, just right up here.
I wanna show you guys somethin' different.
All right.
- Something special. - Yeah.
Most of my customers just shop the showroom.
But I can see you guys are professional fishermen.
I'm sure you can judge this boat in the water.
- We're semi-pro, not professional. - You've probably won some awards.
- Yeah, we won a few. Yeah. - Oh, we've won a lot of 'em.
Yeah, well, that's good. Right here, guys.
- Hey, Gus, it's the ranger 250c. - Wow!
Yeah, the 250c. Let me tell you what's sad about this boat.
A lot of people look at this and believe it's only a dream.
You fellas know anyone like that?
- Yeah, us. - But there's nothin' wrong with lookin'.
Good point.
I cite this nudie photo as a prime example.
- You men married? - Yeah.
Then you'll understand me when i say you're allowed to look.
- Yeah. - That is the American way.
You're allowed all the eyeballing your eyeballs can eyeball.
You're just not allowed to touch. You're not allowed to play.
Well, I got good news for you guys.
Go right ahead. Touch. Play.
- Excuse me. - Thanks a lot, Phil.
- Yeah. - We might as well, Gus.
It can't hurt none, right?
Yeah, sure. Oh, man!
Wow, look at this. This is something. Man!
How about this guy? Tryin' to give us the old salesman pitch.
With his nudie girl photo. He never saw a girl like that in his life.
- Yeah, yeah. He tried to pull one on us. - Yeah.
- Guys? - Yeah?
Someone I want you to meet. This is my assistant.
Julie, this is Gus and Joe.
- Hello, guys. - Hi.
I'll sign those papers now.
Nice boat. You guys look great in it.
- Thanks. - I'm tellin' you, that baby's cryin'.
- Screamin'. - Yeah.
- No, the boat. - Yeah, that's what I was talkin' about.
Let me tell you something, guys.
If I'm not honest with you, I'm not lyin' to anyone.
I started this business because I'm a fisherman and a boatman,
not because my time equals sales plus commission minus overhead.
To me, it's the people that matter.
- Yeah, people. - Yeah. People, yeah.
I wouldn't want you to fall in love with-- just for example--
a boat like mine. That's the waveliner ii.
She'd be overkill for you fellas.
- Yeah, overkill. - Too much. Yeah, overkill.
The truth is, this boat you're standin' in, the ranger 250c--
gentlemen, this boat--
well...Can you just see the neighbors?
- Yeah, the neighbors. - The neighbors.
- Wazinski. - Yeah.
Can you just see them? I'm tellin' you, that's the best part of my job.
Not keepin' boats afloat, but keepin' a man's self-image above the water.
- Yeah, self-image. - Self-image, yeah.
Y-you see, Phil, we were thinkin' about buyin' the, uh, little guy?
- Yeah. It's too, um-- - but it's too, uh--
- cheap? - Yeah, cheap.
- Where do you fellas fish? - Glory glades.
Fellas, are you familiar with the phrase:
''No one fishes glory glades''?
- No. - I never heard that.
Guys, if you learn anything from me today,
tigertail lagoon.
- Hey, that's where bubba and j.P.-- - J.P., yeah.
We got a couple of friends of ours fish over there. Yeah, yeah.
It's where I fish. Here, have a pen.
- Hey. - Hey.
Yeah.
- Phil, would you sign this for me? - Oh, yeah. Gladly.
Are you guys okay?
- Fine, thanks. - Yeah, fine.
- Okay. Thank you. - Thank you, Julie.
Thank you, Julie. Uh, Phil, you know, there's no way we can afford--
Gus, prices are relative to your outlook and how you approach a matter.
- For example, I say ten dollars. - Yeah.
You say two. That's eight dollars worth of play, my friends.
Yeah, it's eight dollars. Yeah.
Can we not disagree on somethin'?
- We can't-- we can't disagree. - No.
I think we reached that place already, minutes ago. Now here's my point.
- And you can take this to the bank. - Yeah.
Think for a moment of the words ''easy payments.''
- easy payments. - Easy payments.
I'm talkin' 81 0 easy payments-- they're easy now--of $39.95.
- $39.95. That's not bad. - No.
Each. That's $39.95. This boat, your boat.
Think about it.
All we need is a signature, and you've already got a pen.
- Yeah. - Excuse me.
What do you think? Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
- Yeah. It depends on what you're thinkin'. - Yeah, well--
p.S. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
So it's a test-drive. You don't like it-- which you will--
you call, we come, we pick it up.
End of story, see you next time, no questions asked.
- That's like free rent, Gus. - Yeah.
So guys, if you need anything-- i mean anything--
just say out loud the word ''Phil''!
Excuse me.
- Hey, Phil! - Hey, Phil!
Hey, Gus, did you ever think in your whole life we'd own a boat like this?
Oh, man, no. Look at the navigation, Joe.
- Yeah. What's this? - That's the three-dimensional sonar.
Hey, Gus, I know we gotta bring back the knife.
But do you think we could get a little o.F.H. In first?
Yeah, we do a little o.F.H., and then we take the knife back.
Hey, Gus, look at this!
A hundred yards north of here. Look at all that fish activity!
Wow!
Hey, Joe, they all around us, man!
- Hey, we're surrounded by fish. - Hey, we made it, Joe!
Hey, you know what, Gus? This is the first time on this trip that life is good.
- Hey, a ten. - A ten plus.
Borderline 1 1 !
I can't wait to try out the new ''flick dip,'' you know?
Flick, dip.
What happened, Gus? You knocked me over with the flick.
- Gus! - Oh, no!
Joe, look at the fish activity here! Whoo!
Hey, what-what-what?
Look! Gus!
- Let go of the pole! - Hey, it broke!
Get off! Get off!
What's it say, Joe? What's it say?
- I can't find it. - Huh?
Ignition. Ignition.
Shut it down!
Sorry.
Slow down! Shut it off!
- Let me have it. - It's broke! It's broke!
Try shuttin' the key off, Gus.
- Shut the what off again? - Shut the key off!
- You broke it. - Yeah, it broke.
Sorry! Oh, I feel bad, Gus.
Move out of the way! Move out of the way!
- Sorry. - Hey, Joe, where are we goin'?
- Hey, j-- j.P.! - Hey, it's j.P.! Bubba!
- Oh, Joe! - Oh, Gus!
- Joe, get in! Get in! - Gus! Gus!
Joe, the knife! Get the knife! Get it, Joe. Get it!
- Gus! Oh! - Get it!
- I can't get it. - Come on, Joe. You get it?
- Did you get it, Joe? - No, I can't get it, Gus.
You couldn't get it, Joe? Ohhh!
- Gus, what are we gonna do? - We don't--
- I don't know, Joe. - I can't believe it.
I can't believe we lost that knife.
- Me either. I can't believe it. - That was everything to us, everything.
I know. Oh, we in big trouble, Joe.
Hey, there they are!
Gus! Let's move!
Slow down! Where are you goin'?
- Why are they chasin' us? - I don't know why.
Look like they're gainin' on us, Joe!
Get outta here! It's not our fault! It broke! The thing broke!
Leave us alone! We got enough problems!
Watch those bushes, Gus!
Watch out!
That's my boat!
- Hey, Phil! - Hey, Phil!
Hey, Phil, we decided to bring the boat back before the 30 days was up.
- Right, Joe? - Yeah.
Look, Phil, this stuff all broke.
You better get it all fixed. Thanks, anyway.
Yeah, thanks, man. You know, you need better material.
Yeah. Sorry.
These guys are a two-man disaster area.
They just bought a boat and destroyed it in less than an hour.
Look, these idiots won't get very far.
Now they've got my map.
It might take me another day to find them.
But I will find them. Don't worry.
And when I'm finished with them, I'll know where the money is.
We're gonna be working every weekend for the rest of our lives, Gus.
How come?
Because that boat cost more than our house.
At least we'll be home on time.
Wrong. We're gonna be home a day earlier,
and that's worse than gettin' there on time.
Besides, that friggin' knife is somewhere at the bottom of tigertail lagoon.
In any case, we're goin' home.
- Flat. - Flat.
I got it, Gus.
- Hey, Gus. - What?
- What's this? - What's what, Joe?
Look, look. It looks like a map of somethin'.
Joe, it's a map to the money and jewels.
What jewels and money?
Joe, your memory's so bad.
Remember the $2-1 /2 million in stolen jewels and money...
The guy on TV said was hidden aw ay?
- This is it? - Yeah. Who cares about the knife?
We get the reward anyway. Hey, w-we got a map to $2-1 /2 million dollars!
- Hey, we're gonna get the reward anyway! - We're gonna be rich!
We're gonna be rich-- wait, wait, wait, wait!
- Gus, Gus, Gus, listen! Gus, Gus! Listen. - Huh? Yeah.
Listen. Who cares about the reward is right.
Forget about the reward. Let's just take the 2-1 /2 million in money and jewels.
We're millionaires! Millionaires, Gus! We're rich!
Joe, that guy stole that from 43 women.
That's a whole lot of broken hearts.
Yeah, i-i-it's not nice. We wouldn't like it if it was somebody in our families.
- We can't take it. - But think, Joe.
Not only is it a lot of women-- that means a lot of rewards.
It's a lot of rewards!
- It's more than one reward. We're rich! - We're rich! We're gonna be rich.
- We're gonna be rich. - We're rich. That's right.
Instead of one reward, we get a bunch of rewards.
We're really rich now. And we're picking up--
we're goin' fishin'!
- Holy smokes! Look at this place, Gus. - Oh, yeah.
Hey, Gus, Gus, you check us in, and I'll give the guy the car.
All right. Hey, Joe, this is us. I can feel it.
Welcome to the rod & gun club. Will you be checking in this evening, sir?
- Yes, I am. - Can I help you with your bags?
- I only got one bag. - All right.
And I'll get it myself. It's okay. It's just an overnight bag.
- Here's your hat, sir. - Oh, that stays here.
Enjoy your stay.
Yeah. Careful with this car.
Good evening, sir.
Hi.
- Hey, Joe, don't-- don't do that, man. - You were scared, huh, Gus?
It's dead. You were scared.
I'm sorry, gentlemen. There are no rooms.
The only room available is the, uh, presidential suite.
We'll take it.
The, uh, presidential suite...
Is at a rate of $850 per evening.
Oh, yeah, we'll, uh-- so, we'll take it per evening.
Yeah.
Hey, Gus, this is pretty cool. They give us rich people's clothes to wear, huh?
Yeah, we better get used to it, Joe. We'll be doing this a whole lot, man.
Yeah.
Why don't I try that pink one on, Gus? Yeah, yeah.
- It might fit a little better. - Yeah.
- Cause that's big. - Yeah.
I like the blue one better, Gus. Yeah, I like the pink one.
It looked better on me.
The blue one looks great on you.
- Yeah, this is good. - Yeah, it looks good.
- Yeah, this is good. - Let's go eat.
Chicken praline.
Excuse us. Yes. Ahem. Excuse me.
Gentlemens!
Very nice to see you tonight. You look very nice.
- My name is kirk. I am your waiter. K-i-r-k. - Hi, kirk.
- I'm Joe. - I'm Gus.
Gus. Nice to see you, Gus. Nice to see you tonight.
Nice place, Joe. Thanks.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
- Excuse me, sir. - It's good.
Hey, look. I see something i want already.
I'm gonna have the Halibut. You can have my tomatoes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'll have the New York strip. You can have my vegetables.
Gus, Gus, I ain't takin' your vegetables, 'cause you ain't havin' steak.
- What? - I ain't stayin' in a room
with no back-from-the-living-dead zombie sleepwalking freak.
Hey, Joe, it's gonna be all right.
- Hey-hey, kirk. - Yes?
He's gonna have Halibut. I'm gonna have the New York strip.
- Oh, Gus, don't. - Very nice.
- I'll be all right, Joe. - Okay. To drink?
Uh, drink. Let's see. Something special.
Yeah, it's a special occasion. We'll have some, some wine.
Some wine? Yes. Red? White?
Something good, kirk. Okay, very good. Welcome. Welcome.
That guy gets so excited. Nice guy.
- He makes me excited, man. - This is great stuff.
This is a... borderline 1 1 ! Borderline 1 1 !
Shhh!
- What are they lookin' at? - Yeah.
I don't know, Rita. I don't see anything. Did you find anything?
Just these.
- Pork rinds, ugh! - Healthy.
A bunch of fishing magazines, some half-smoked bad cigars...
And this, uh, pen from...
''Phil beasly's boat emporium.''
look, ladies, you gotta stop. Okay? Party's over.
I could lose my job. That's it. Okay?
Hey, that's why I gave you $20. Now, the guy who was driving this car--
- where is he? Do you know where he is? - Rita.
- Is he your husband or something? - No, he's not my--do you know where he is?
Most likely, he's in the dining room, okay?
''Dirt road. Chokoloske road.
Go along the bank. Sign for snickerson's.''
let me see that, Joe.
Gentlemens, I've gots the wine for you.
Huh?
Hey, that's-- what are we supposed to say, kirk?
You're supposed to say, ''kirk, that looks good to me.''
kirk, it looks good to me.
Yeah, me too, kirk.
It looks real good to me. It's imported.
- There. - That's it?
Kirk, I'm not exactly a little kid, you know. I can drink a full glass.
He gave me a little stuff like that.
- I know. More, more. - That's more like it.
- Give me a whole glass too, kirk. - Okay.
Hey, kirk, do you know where this is?
Yes, that is snickerson's. That's about 20 miles south of here.
- Oh, thanks. - Okay? Okay. Okay. Enjoy, gentlemens.
It's 20 miles south of here, Joe.
That's all, man. We're in great shape.
Huh? Hey, Gus, do you think you should show kirk that map?
- He didn't know what it was. - Ehhh.
Maybe you're right, Joe. We gotta be extra careful now.
- Oh, my-- - to not screwin' up, Joe.
- To not screwin' up, Gus. - Hey, Joe!
- Yeah? - Hey, look! The girls!
Hey, it's the girls that gave us the ride.
Beautiful ladies for the very nice gentlemens.
- Hi, Angie. - Hi.
- Uh, thanks, kirk. - This is great.
Sit down. Sit down.
We didn't know what happened to you guys.
No, we just turned around, and you were like gone.
- Yeah. - You know what happened?
The boat slipped off.
- Gus tied the shambo wrong. - I-i missed a knot.
- What are you doing here? - What are you doing here?
We're celebrating getting my car back.
- Yeah. Yeah. - And, uh, where's the guy?
- The guy? - Yeah.
- The guy that took the car? - Uh-huh.
We just left him there.
Did he leave anything in the car? You know, like a bag or papers or--
- a knife, knife-- - a knife?
- Yeah, but we lost the knife. - What?
- We had a boating accident. - Yeah.
So, like, did he leave maybe a clue or something?
You know, where he might be going, a tip?
H-h-hey, how come you girls are so interested in this guy?
Let's put our cards on the table. You're after the reward, right?
Oh, we could care less about the reward, believe me.
Yeah, they know about the reward, I think.
- Cause we were watching jeopardy-- - you guys watch jeopardy?
Yeah. They take away science, I'll kill 'em.
- I'll kill 'em if it weren't for history. - Yeah, that's right.
Anyway, then we put on this country's criminals, and we saw this guy.
And that's what you want. You want the reward.
Yeah.
We just want the guy caught. I don't care about the reward. We don't, do we?
- No. - And what did he do to you?
Look, my father, he died almost 1 2 years ago.
And my mom, she's been alone all this time...
Until she met this guy, dekker.
- Yeah, that's the guy. - Yeah.
Well, anyway, he charmed her and then he married her...
And then he took everything. Everything.
He skipped town with her whole life savings.
- And it broke her heart, you know? - Yeah.
And he could have killed her like that other woman, you know?
Hey, hey, come on. It's okay.
Honey, please don't cry. It's gonna be okay, right?
The cops are gonna take care of everything. Right, guys?
I'm sorry. I didn't mean--did you have dinner? We didn't eat yet, you know?
- Why don't you eat with us? - Yeah, join us for dinner.
Yeah! Yeah, that's a great idea.
Like you're really on a vacation, right? Champagne?
Champagne. Very nice. Come on, come on, come on!
Yeah, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Bubble, bubble.
Hey, Gus?
Gus?
What time is it?
How come you're up so early? It feels like I just went to bed.
Hey, Gus? Are you okay, Gus?
Gus, you okay? Hey, Gus, you ain't sleepwalkin', are ya?
Uh-oh.
You're sleepwalkin', Gus. Gus, you're sleepwalkin'.
Gus, you are!
I need water.
- Gus, I need water! - All right, Tommy, I'm on my way.
Gus, you ain't never eatin' meat again!
No more steak, ever! That's it!
The phone. Hello?
I have received a report of some noise.
Where, in this room? Uh, no way. No way.
- I-I'll call you back. - I'm leaving, cookie.
- I gotta go. Gus! Gus! - See you tonight.
Hello?
Whooaahh!
Gus! Gus!
Hello?
- Gus! Gus! - Is everything all right?
Gus, will you wake-- Gus!
Gus! Gus! Wake up, Gus!
Hello?
- Gus! - Joe! Joe, what are you doin'?
You're sleepwalkin' again, you jerk!
- Gus, our room! - What?
- That's our room! - What?
- The map, Gus. - What?
That's our room on fire. It's our room. It's our room!
The map is gone and everything. You were sleepwalking!
How did you know I was sleepwalking?
You weren't fishing, you weren't swimming, you were sleepwalking.
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, valet! We gotta get outta here.
Get our car for us. A blue barracuda, '68 Plymouth.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Hurry up!
- Go, go, go, go. - Don't worry about the fire.
- They'll fix it. - Yeah.
- What are you doing? - Leave the girls a note.
Yeah, okay, that's good. Tell them we're gonna meet 'em at snickerson's landing.
- How many k's in snickerson's? - Just one, Joe.
- Yeah, yeah. - There's a shack around there too, right?
- Yeah. Yeah. - They should know about the shack.
Give this note to the girls in the El camino, remember?
Rita and Angie, a pretty girl. Hey, I'll give you a big tip when I come back.
- Come on, Joe! - Okay, I'm coming.
You're leaving 'em again?
Yeah. Hey, excuse me.
Joe, all that starin' at the map before dinner...
And all you remember is snickerson's?
Hey, Gus, it was a complicated map.
Your memory's so bad it's amazing.
I'll tell you what's amazing, Gus. I-it's how you walk around while you're sleepin'.
That's amazing.
Well, just try to remember the map, okay?
I'm sorry if I don't have a photographic memory, Gus.
- You don't even have a memory. - You wanna talk about memories?
Do you recall settin' a hotel room on fire?
For Rita and her mother, just try to remember the map. Okay? Think.
- Well, what? - I'm tryin'.
- Give me a chance. - Okay.
I can't remember nothing Gus. Let's just go home.
No, we're gonna find the money.
No, I'll tell you where we're going. We are going--
nowhere.
It could be worse, Joe.
- What? - It could be worse.
Hey, Gus, please don't say that, okay? 'Cause it can't get any worse.
I mean, I'm so sick of, like, every time that we--we get in trouble,
if something goes bad, we think of, like, worse situations just so we could say,
''you know, this ain't so bad. It could be a lot worse.''
all I said--
hey, Gus, the truth is, it can't get any worse.
Hey, Joe!
Joe?
Hey, Joe?
- I-it just got worse, Gus. - What?
What do you mean ''what''?You saw the lightning. You know what happens.
Joe, what are the chances of you gettin' hit by lightning again?
Hey, Gus, what were the odds the first time I got hit?
And what about the odds the second time I got hit?
Hey, Joe, if I could fix the car, I'd do it myself.
Besides, that's the worst place you could be is behind a tree.
Yeah, you see? I mean, I can't-- i can't fix the barracuda, man.
So let's just fix the barracuda and go find the money, all right?
Hey, come on, here.
I me-- oh, come on, Joe, don't be silly.
Hey, Gus, I'm trying to be intelligent about this, you know?
What do you mean, intelligent? You're being silly, man. Nothing's gonna happen!
Hey, Gus, it hurts to get hit by lightning. You don't know what it feels like.
Hey, Joe, watch. Uh, look.
Hey... hit me! See?
Hit me! You see?
Right here. See?
See what I mean? Hey, here i am!
You got a free shot! Take it! Right here! Hit me!
See wha-- see what I mean, Joe?
Yeah, it's a little silly.
Here, here, here. Let's go fix the car.
There. See?
Here.
Whoo. Whoo!
Uh-huh.
Hey, Joe!
Joe! Joe? Joe, talk to me. Joe, talk to me.
Joe, i-i didn't mean to talk you into doin' it, Joe.
I should've listened to you! I said nothing's gonna happen, and it happened.
A-a-all the little guy wanted to do was go fishin'.
Is that askin' too much? Ain't nothin' wrong with that, is there?
Oh, he's a-- he's a good guy.
I mean, he's a good guy. The best.
Joe, we all love ya.
Joe, Joe, Joe.
Hey, Gus, I remember the map.
Snickerson's airboat rentals.
Left, right, right, left, left, right, right.
Channel number 27, 1 1 paces to the big tree underneath the water nest.
That's where the treasure lies, where mad Maggie rests.
- Hey, we're gonna be rich! - We're gonna be rich!
We're gonna be rich. We're gonna be rich.
He was not there, and they don't want to talk to me.
- What happened here? - A fire.
I can see it was a fire. How did it start?
Two guys from up north blew up their room.
You don't say?
One tall, one short, in a blue car?
Yes. Yeah. I, uh--
I wait on the tables for the tall and the small one.
They say where they were going?
The tall one, he come to me and he said--
he showed me a map,
and he want to know where was snickerson's.
- Airboats. Gotcha. - So i-- so i--
if you see them, you tell them...
That I love them very much and i want to see them again...
And that they're very nice, very attractive boys.
You sure we're going the right way?
Yeah, there's the arch, Gus. We gotta go under that arch and turn right, Gus.
We should be able to see the island once we get past this.
Oh, yeah? What's the next landmark?
We gotta go right, and then there's twin trees.
I can't wait to get there.
- Sure scary in here, Gus. - Yeah.
- What's that? That's a log over there? - That's only a log.
- Oh, okay. Here. - It's only a log.
- We goin' through the arch? - Go through this arch, then go right.
Straight through there, Gus. That's it!
- Straight, Gus. - We're on our way, Joe.
It's a lot of work, but it's gonna be worth it, Gus.
I-it's the palm tree with nothin' on it.
We make a left here and then there's a tree with a flower on it, Gus.
That's it. Hey, look! There's a tree with a flower on it. That's it.
- That's a pretty flower. - That's it.
And there's the cave, Gus. It just said watch out for mad Maggie.
Who's mad Maggie?
It was just something on the map, probably to keep people away.
Mad Maggie. Keep them away, yeah.
- Come on, Gus. - All right.
We're gonna be rich.
That's the cave, huh?
- That's it, Gus. - Yeah.
I remembered everything. I can't believe it.
Well, this is the cave.
- The cave is inside. This is the hole, though. - This is the hole, yeah, that's right.
- Yeah. It's kind of dark in there, Joe. - I got a light for you, Gus.
For me?
Well, I figured you should go in first, Gus.
- Oh, yeah, yeah. - Because I know I can fit in this hole,
but we want to make sure you get in here.
Yeah, that's right. Let me have that.
- Right? - You're not scared, are you, Joe?
No. Hey, Gus, I'll go.
Oh, no, that's all right. I know you're not.
- Cause I'm not scared, Gus. - Okay. You just watch out.
- I just want to get the money. - Yeah, okay.
- All right? - The jewels are right in there.
I wonder what this mad Maggie stuff is about.
What?
Nothing, nothing. Okay.
Easy now. Here it-- how's that, Gus?
Yeah.
It's hard to see. Joe, over here in front of me.
Are you sure?
Yeah, my eyesight gets bad when I get in close places.
- What you see? - I don't see nothing, Gus.
- It stinks in here, doesn't it? - It ain't me.
It smells like rotten meat.
Hey, Gus. There's something back there, Gus.
- Look at this. See that? - Yeah, I see it.
- I-it's a case. - Yeah.
This is it. Hold this, Gus.
You got it?
- Oh, be careful. - I got it.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- Holy smokes! - That's it, Joe!
Holy smokes! Hey, we're gonna be rich, Gus.
- We get 1 00,000, right? - We get $1 00,000, Joe.
Let's get it outta here. We're gonna be rich.
We did it, Gus. We did it.
What are you shushing me for?
I didn't shush you, Joe. Come on. Let's go.
- You didn't shush me? - No, I didn't shush you.
Mad Maggie!
Let go of it!
Watch it, Gus! Gus! What the heck are you doin'?
I can get it, Joe. I can get it.
- Gus, what are you doing? Are you crazy? - H-hey, pull!
Get it out! Pull harder, Joe!
You're crazy, Gus!
I got it, Joe!
What do I do now, Joe?
Hey, Gus, be careful! Let it go.
Spin him around, Gus. I'll kick him in the nuts.
He's a she, Joe. She ain't got no nuts.
Get her, Joe, get her! Harder, harder, Joe, harder!
- Come on, Gus! - Let's get outta here.
- Holy smokes! Look at that, Gus. - We did it, Joe.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
You know, Gus, there's a lot of family heirlooms here.
Those poor people. That's not nice.
- Yeah, a lot of ''hairlooms'' in there, yeah. - Yeah.
W-we're gonna get reward money, anyway.
- We're gonna be rich. - Yeah, and famous.
Oh, really?
- Now, move! - Yeah.
- Move! - Okay, I'm movin'. I'm movin'.
I'm moving.
- What's he doing, Joe? - I don't know, Gus.
Rugby-playing jerk. I'd like to get him on a football team.
- Now push. - What?
- Just push the car! - Hey!
I've wasted a lot of time looking for you two. Now, you do what I say.
Gus, it's all right, Gus. It's all right. Don't--don't get in trouble, Gus.
- Bet he can't play no football. - Push the car!
- I just can't. - Push the car!
He said he's gonna push! Now just back off!
Do you want me to put a bullet through his head?
- No, he's gonna push. - Do it now.
- Push, Joe. - Gus, I can't.
I know. He scared me.
I know, Joe. It's tough, man. It's tough.
- Oh, Gus. - It's tough.
My car, Gus.
You'll get another one, Joe.
You two wouldn't understand. I really deserve that money.
I made those women feel like somebody really loved them, you know?
Believe me, it wasn't easy. I deserve every penny.
So you just sit there...
And think about me going off to a life of wealth and luxury...
While you've only got your dreary little poverty-stricken lives to go back to.
But I'm sure you'll enjoy spending Thanksgiving here together.
Oh, what? Have I ruined your plans for the holidays?
Oh, I am so sorry.
You think you're so big.
A big tough guy picking on women.
- You go rob women. - Hey, Joe.
Beat up on them and kill them and stuff.
- Shut up, Joe. - I'm not scared of him, Gus.
It's who he is. You want to fight with everybody.
Why don't you join the army if you want to fight?
Go join the marines, fight with them. See how tough you are.
- Hey, Joe, don't make him mad. - He made us push my car in that swamp.
Thanks a lot, creep, creep, creep, creep.
- You're a creep. Creep, creep. - Yeah. Joe!
Creep, creep--
j-j-Joe! Tell him you're sorry, Joe. H-h-he didn't mean it.
Don't hurt him. Joe, tell him you're sorry. You're hurting him.
Tell him you didn't mean it, Joe. You're hurting him.
He's sorry. He said he's sorry.
Joe! You're gonna kill him! Joe! Don't kill him!
Joe.
You know, for an insignificant, ignorant little man...
You've got a really big mouth.
Now shut it.
You all right, Joe? Joe, I hate that guy.
I'd love to stay and chat with you, but, uh,
I've got a plane to catch.
You know, you two should really grow up.
You've got children of your own, you know?
Now that is a really scary thought.
I could kill you now, but it's not worth it.
The alligators will probably get you.
Big tough guy when we're tied up, huh, Gus?
Yeah. Yeah.
- When we can't do nothing. - I know.
- Lucky we were tied, right, Gus? - Yeah, it's lucky we were tied.
What's wrong with us anyway, Gus?
W-we work hard. We've got great families...
And kids and beautiful wives.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - We work hard. We go to church.
All we like to do is fish. We don't bother nobody.
Yeah, we're lucky, Joe.
Why does everything go wrong around us?
'Cause we're lucky, Joe.
- We're lucky? - Yeah, you said it all, Joe.
We got great families. We got kids. Our wives love us.
You know? We go to church. We work hard.
- All we do is want to go fishin'. - Yeah.
- Yeah.
- I never thought of it like that.
- Yeah, but that's-- - we are lucky, huh, Gus?
- We're lucky. We're lucky. - Yeah.
We can't help it if everything goes wrong around us.
- Yeah. Yeah, it ain't our fault. - Yeah.
Yeah.
- Hey, Gus, do you think he's coming back? - No.
It sounds like somebody's gonna rescue us, Joe.
Hey, you remember that movie deliverance?
Sounds like those guys.
Joe, I don't wanna squeal like a pig.
I don't wanna squeal like a pig, either.
Hey! Gus!
You know who I think it is, Gus?
Yeah, it's catch pooler, Joe.
It's him. I can't believe it.
- Oh, it's catch pooler. - Yeah, that's catch.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Hey, catch.
Catch, yeah.
- I saw that guy bring ya in. - Yeah.
Are you all right?
- See that, Gus? - Yeah, I saw it.

You know that's catch. Hey, catch, Joe waters.
Joe.

We won your contest, you know? ''Why you want to fish in the everglades?''
yes, sir, I know that.
- He knows. - But remember...
Yeah?
The canary sings, but the eagle flies.

Hmm, there must be some hidden meaning there, Gus.
Yeah, that's--

Hey, catch, see my car over there?
- Yeah. - This guy's so mean.
He made us push my car in the water. We really wanna get this guy.
He said he's gonna take a plane. He's gotta catch a plane.
Yeah.
Well, there's no airport around here for miles.
- There's not? - We don't know what to do.
Hey, catch, we gotta catch him.
- We don't hate nobody, catch. - No.
- This guy's real mean. - Yeah.
He took money and jewels from old women.
Yeah.
- And he killed one! - He killed one.
- Catch, he tried to kill me and Joe! - He tried to kill us.
Yeah.
We really--we really want this guy, catch.
- Yeah. - You will catch him, Joe.
- We will? - Gus, you will catch him.
- We will? - Remember... the hands.
- The hands. - The hands.
It's in the hands.
- It's in the hands. - It's in the hands.
And be the one you want to catch.

We gotta follow that plane.
Hey, Joe, h-h-how do you know that's a seaplane?
That's it! It's gotta be!
Joe, what are you doing?
We'll take this boat. We'll follow the plane.
Gus, we'll get that guy.
J-Joe, we don't even know if that was the plane.
It's a seaplane! Come on, Gus, you know he was right. That's the plane!
We'll follow it. Yeah, I know he knew.
I know he knew! I know that!
- So, let's go! - Joe, we can't even drive the boat.
- I'll drive it, Gus. - Oh, Joe!
Gus, this guy wrecked our boat. Look what he did to my car!
Hey, Gus, he tried to kill us. He embarrassed me, Gus.
I don't know about you, but he made me cry. I don't feel much like a man, Gus.
I thought you would want to help me.
Okay for you, Gus.
Oh! Come on, Joe, I'll drive.
Whoa!
Hey, look! I got the hang of it.
- I got it! I got it! - You got it now.
Gus, look! There he is! Look!

Hey, you wanna drive?
We got you, creep!
No matter which side, we're gonna get ya.
Gonna get you now! Gonna get ya!
Whoa!

- What does this look like to you? - Swigging bones.
- No, ''s.'' Swigging bones. - What's that?
There they are! The girls!
The girls, Gus. Hey, I don't think they saw us.
Hey, we're chasing dekker!

You wanna drive?

Reel him in, Joe!
Now pull him in!
What do you have to say for yourself, dekker?
How does it feel to be going to jail?
I'm not talking to you or anybody about anything.
Hey, you got any identification?
Hey, Joe, he's got a uniform. Give him the bag.
Joe!
Hey, you look so good.
Thank you so much.
- I told you we'd catch him. - Oh, that was great.
That was so great. That was so great. I couldn't believe it.
I mean, when you hit the highway-- kind of like--
- I left a note for you. - What did it say?
- Snickerson's. - Yeah.
- Snickerson's. - We looked for you.
Yeah, 'cause the room blew up, and i didn't know if we'd see you again.
I know. What was that about? That was so scary.
- Gus was sleepwalking again. - Again?
Win TV. We're set up for your interview now.
- Oh, we have to do an interview. - Oh, okay.
You didn't have to tell 'em i was sleepwalking.
- We were out looking for this guy-- - we--well, she--
those guys were so great. They did everything for us.
- If it wasn't for them, you know, this guy-- - they were wonderful.
He deserves to go in jail 'cause he's hurt so many people.
Yeah, it's true.
This is deana bernini in Florida...
With Gus green and Joe waters,
who helped capture dekker massey, the bigamist murderer,
and uncover the $2-1 /2 million in cash and jewels...
Stolen from his unsuspecting wives.
An incredible story of the human spirit.
- Gentlemen? - Yeah?
- Your car was stolen. - Right.
- You had to steal it back. - Yeah.

- That's--yeah. - At any point were you two scared?
- Nope. - Oh, no, no.

- Just a little bit. - Not too much.
Well, after all of this, what's the best part?
- Uh, we caught him. - Yeah, capturing him.
- Yeah, yeah. - Capturing him, yeah.
Did you get an insight into the workings of massey's mind?
Th-this guy was a very bad man.
- Not a nice person. - Yeah, yeah. He wasn't nice at all.
Everything he did to those women and all--
wow.
- And he tried to kill both of us. - Yeah.
I went at him, you know? He met his match with me.
- Yeah, he sure did. - Right, Gus?
- With both of us, yeah. - Yeah, yeah.
Well, after all of this, how does it feel...
To be the recipients of our $1 00,000 reward?
- Are you kidding? That's the best part. - Yeah, yeah.
- Where's the money? - Yeah.
- When do we get the money? - Yeah.
You know, Joe,
after we pay for the ranger 250c,
replace our boat,
fix the barracuda--
- Joe, do me a favor. - Yeah, Gus, I'd do anything for you.
- You know that. - I know that.
Stop smoking. I-i-i want you to stop smoking.
For me, your wife, your family, everybody. We love you, man.
- Okay? - Okay, Gus.
All right. Eh-eh-eh!
Did you forget?
Yeah, pay for the resort fire,
our gear and food, clothing, flight home...
We have a grand total of $42 profit.
Yeah, at least we made it home on time, Gus.
Yeah... to the wife and family.
They were happy about that.
- Hey, you know what's great, Gus? - What, Joe?
After being here, you realize you don't have to go far away to live the good life.
You sure do. You realize, it's right in your own backyard, Joe.
- That's right. I love it. - Yeah. Yeah.
- Hey, Gus, you know what we should do? - What?
Let's do like we used to do in the old days and take a dip.
- It's cold, Joe. - Yeah.
What about that polar bear club in coney island?
Those guys go in the water in freezing weather.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, i-i heard about that. It's good for your heart and everything.
- Want to try? - I'll do it if you do it.
- Just a quick dip.
A quick dip.
Hey, Gus, this is gonna be great. Yeah, it's gonna be a ten, Joe.
Ten plus. Hey--
borderline 1 1 !
- Hey, Gus, what are you shushing me for? - I ain't shushing you, Joe.
- You didn't shush me? - No. You didn't shush me, did you?
