Gus: I understand. Kisses and ice cream have been my fantasy since I was, like, 11.

Harley: ( Laughs ) I'm having a fantasy right now.

Gus: Yeah?

Harley: Mm-hmm.

Gus: Tell me. What is it?

Harley: I'm free.

Gus: Mm-hmm.

Harley: And we're together forever. What?

Gus: That's not a fantasy. ( Laughter ) well, that is a fantasy. That was a good fantasy. That's real, and I'm going to make that happen.

Harley: You could start on one part of the fantasy, you know? The "together" part? You know, when I was in prison, my fantasies were all about us being together, but there was never really ice cream involved. Well, one, but not a truck. ( Laughs )

Gus: Well, lucky me, because I've always had a thing for sprinkles.

**********************************************

Marina: This place is dead.

Coop: It's still early.

Marina: It's going to be so weird without Lizzie breathing down our necks.

Coop: No. What's weird is the fact that she's turning the company back over to us while she's off in Europe.

Marina: Six whole months without that little barking rodent. And Roxy won't be here, either.

Coop: That's very funny, Marina.

Marina: Well, I think that we're all better off.

**********************************************

Lizzie: What do you think, Roxy? How should I finish this letter? "Best wishes"? "Your pal, Lizzie"? "Your friend"? Hello, can you help me out here? ( Laughs ) After everything I do for you. Oh, you know what? Okay. All right, good deal. I'm finished. You can go clean up my table.

Coop: I see that.

Lizzie: Well, why aren't you doing it then?

Coop: Lizzie, you just got up.

Lizzie: What are you going to do without me here to tell you how to do your job when I leave for Switzerland tonight?

Coop: Tonight? You... great. Why don't you just say hello to the cuckoo clocks for me?

Lizzie: Okay, well, I will see you around thanksgiving. Just don't change the menu, okay?

Marina: Got it.

Lizzie: Come on, Rox. ( Cell phone rings )

Marina: Hello?

Danny: Hi. It seems like forever since I've seen you.

Marina: Well, that's what happens when you give each other the whole "space" thing. You don't see each other so much.

Danny: Yeah, well, I kind of want to give some of my space back.

Marina: Oh, you do, do you?

Danny: I do. I was just thinking, with all the stuff going on with Harley, you might need...

Marina: No, I don't need anything, except maybe an extra set of arms. I mean, I'm at the restaurant and it's crazy busy here. There's too much to do except work.

Danny: Yeah, I know the feeling. I have been working non-stop. I'm just busy. Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy.

Marina: Well, I'll let you get back to it, then. I'll talk to you later. Bye. Why did I just do that?

**********************************************

Frank: So you're working, huh?

Danny: Hey, Frank. What are you doing?

Frank: Well, I'm working, too. Listen, why don't you step into my office here, and let's talk about my daughter.

**********************************************

Alan: Any bites on the bounty I put on Harley Cooper? Oh, I thought so. Well, I want her brought in. Let me know when you get close. ( Gunshots echoing ) These are not safe here in my own home. People are watching. ( Cell phone rings ) yes? Look, I was going to talk to you about that, but... today? Absolutely not! No, this cannot happen! Not now!

**********************************************

( Bell ringing )

Gus: Do any of your fantasies have a bell in them?

Harley: Oh, honey, we'll check it out later, okay?

( Bell ringing )

Gus: It's driving me crazy.

Harley: No, no, no, no, no.

Gus: I can't, it's driving me nuts.

Harley: ( Groans )

( insistent bell ringing ) ( pounding on truck ) ( pounding on truck )

Gus: Yes?

Paperboy: What are you, deaf?

( Rings bell )

Gus: No. I'm not deaf. We're closed, okay?

Paperboy: Look, I still want my cowboy cruncher.

Gus: What is that, a code?

Paperboy: Where's the regular guy?

Gus: I don't know. I fired him. Look, I'll get you your...

Paperboy: Cowboy...

Gus: Cowboy cruncher, and then you can just pedal off into the sunset, all right? Here you go. Hello, you've got to pay me.

Paperboy: We have a barter system, dude.

Gus: Barter system? I guess one good scoop deserves another.

**********************************************

Danny: I thought this was where everybody comes to get away from work.

Frank: Yeah, well, you know, when Harley and I were kids, every time she was mad at me, she'd steal my stuff. Then she'd come over here and she'd bury it. Then she'd take little stones, and then she'd put it on top of the little burial sites of all my stuff, and then...

Danny: ( Laughs )

Frank: She did that because when she wasn't mad at me anymore, she would try to find the little stones and get my stuff back. But there was a big problem: She never found her way back.

Danny: She'll find her way back, Frank.

Frank: Yeah, I know she will, because I'm going to find her, and I'm going to put 100% of my focus into her.

Danny: Hey, I understand.

Frank: No, I don't think you do understand. I don't have the time or the patience or the energy to keep you away from my daughter, so I'm just going to have to trust you with her.

**********************************************

Marina: Unbelievable. I just talked to Danny and I turn into this. Keep it together, girl. Hey. Taking a break?

Coop: Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Marina: So this is what Lizzie wrote. Hmm. "Dear Henry." Wow. Very formal.

Coop: Marina, just read it, okay?

Marina: Okay. "I wanted to put a few things down on paper..." blah, blah, blah. "Now that I'm going away, I wish things could have been different between us..." blah, blah, blah. "Thanks for backing me up most of the time..." blah, blah...

Coop: Marina, she didn't write "blah, blah, blah."

Marina: Relax, okay? "You don't bug me so much now, but I'll definitely miss bugging you." ( Laughs ) That's actually kind of sweet. What a bizarre way to sign it.

Coop: It's not that bizarre.

Marina: Uh, yes, it is. Oh, my god. You're actually going to miss her. Why don't you go out there and tell her?

Coop: It's too late for that, you know? She's probably halfway on her way to Switzerland by now.

Marina: Check your GPS, romeo. She's still on the bench.

**********************************************

Beth: And see? Our flight lands in Zurich early enough so that we have almost the whole day to sight-see and shop before we have to get on the train to Davos, hm?

Lizzie: Sounds like fun.

Beth: Honey, I know it's a long time to be away from home and it's a long time to be away from this restaurant, but you are not going to regret this. I promise you. And I am so proud of you for the way you've opened up to this idea. Now, if we could just get your grandfather to open up to the idea.

Lizzie: What? You told him?

Beth: Yes, I told him a few minutes ago.

Lizzie: Was he mad?

Beth: Furious.

Lizzie: I hate being around him when he's like that.

Beth: I know, I do too. But honey, he's your grandfather. I couldn't just take you away without telling him anything.

Alan: Give me these tickets, Beth.

Beth: Alan, calm down. You have to understand...

Alan: Don't give me any more lectures, all right? You're not going anywhere. Am I making that clear? I'm not losing another one of my family members.

**********************************************

Harley: Who was that?

Gus: It was just another satisfied customer. Listen to me, honey, we can't stay here, okay? We've got to get going.

Harley: Why? What happened?

Gus: We've got to get to New York. We've got to find Phillip's real killer, okay? So the next stop is the big apple.

Harley: Okay, but honey, it's a big city. Where do we even start to find who or whatever it is we're looking for?

Gus: I'll tell you where we start. We use this as our compass, okay? We find our hotel; it's got a logo like this, and that's exactly what we do. Something that looks like this, that's a pretty good step one.

Harley: It's not a very good step one. This thing is ripped; we can't read this; we don't know where this came from.

Gus: Well, then we have to start to where this ended up. Do you know what I'm saying?

Harley: The Spaulding mansion?

Gus: Yes, the Spaulding mansion.

Harley: The surveillance cameras!

Gus: The surveillance cameras. So Alan's got every camera monitoring that Spaulding mansion. I mean, a mouse cannot get in there and get a piece of cheese out. So what we've got to do is, we've got to get the security DVDs or VHS or whatever it is, we I.D. the person, and now we've got ourselves a square one.

Harley: It's better than square zero; I'll tell you that.

Gus: Yes.

Harley: You're very smart for an ice cream dude.

Gus: Ah, I'm just on a sugar high. Okay, so I'm going to go over to the mansion, I'm going to get the security DVDs, and I'll be back, okay? I've got some other business that I...

Harley: Well, up until a couple of minutes ago, I was the only business on your mind.

Gus: Baby, you are the most important piece of business to me, all right?

Harley: That's a very lame line. Can we go back to the original unanswered question: What happened at the window?

Gus: Nothing. Nothing happened. Just please sit tight, have a little Italian ice, just take it easy, okay? I'll be back, I promise.

Harley: Wait, wait. Wait a minute. We don't have a DVD player so we can watch the videos. Why don't I go back to Harley's Angels and...

Gus: No, no. I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it.

Harley: No, no, no, no, no. It's not very far. I move like a cat.

Gus: It's not a problem. I'll handle it.

Harley: And the fake IDs are in there.

Gus: I've got it under control. I've got it under control.

Harley: It's not a big deal. It's not...

Gus: Please don't do this. I'm asking you, please don't do this, okay? When you start talking and nodding your head like everything is in agreement and then you just go off and do exactly what you want to do anyway. Please.

Harley: Honey, if there's ever a time where we should stick together and be a team, I'd say it's right now. Please. Honey, trust me like I am trusting you.

Gus: Not this time.

Harley: "Not this time."

**********************************************

Marina: Well?

Coop: Well, what?

Marina: I can't believe I'm actually going to say this, but go. Go out there and stop Lizzie from leaving.

Coop: I should go after her? Marina, why do you even care? You don't even like Lizzie.

Marina: But you do, so walk out the door and tell her so. Coop, it could change everything, just like that. We should all have it so easy.

Coop: Hm. Meaning what?

Marina: Lizzie's family doesn't exactly love ours, and she's a bit of a nightmare herself, but at least there's no extra baggage.

Coop: Like Danny? Look, I know you don't like to talk about it.

Marina: Okay, I want him, okay? And I know he wants me, too. I know it. It's just that he may still want Michelle and just not know it yet. Or maybe he does; he just doesn't want to admit it to me, yet. Or to himself. Either way, you know, I can't get close to him until I'm absolutely sure that I know that he knows that there's no way I'm going to play backup to anyone-- even if I do have a mini- meltdown when he calls me on the phone, because that's how much I want to be close to him. That's just the way it is. Okay?

Coop: Yeah. Uh, you need to talk about that more.

Marina: Stop being a dope and get your butt off the chair and move. The dog likes you; that's a step in the right direction. Go.

Coop: All right, okay.

Marina: Henry!

Coop: Gone. I'm gone.

**********************************************

Alan: You're not taking James and Elizabeth to Switzerland. It is out of the question.

Beth: I don't need your permission, or your approval, for that matter. We're going.

Alan: I need you here, Beth.

Beth: Alan, this isn't about you. This is about Lizzie and James and me. We need time away, as a family.

Alan: Well, I'm your family. You're my family. Elizabeth, your father would hate it if he knew that you were doing this to me.

Beth: Don't. Don't you pull that with her. Do you have any idea what you are doing to your granddaughter?

Lizzie: Mom...

Beth: It's the same thing that you did to your son.

Alan: Don't say that, Beth! Don't say that!

Beth: Alan, you need to get yourself under control.

Lizzie: Granddad, we're just going to Switzerland. It's not like it's another planet.

Alan: But not now, not now.

Beth: Alan, why? Is there something that you're not telling us?

Alan: No, not at all. I mean, I don't keep any secrets from my family. You know that.

Lizzie: Yeah, sure you don't.

Beth: That is exactly why I told you about this, so it wouldn't be a secret. But make no mistake, we are going on this trip. In fact, I've already sent Hilda up to the attic to start packing.

Alan: You what? All right, this is not over. We will discuss this later. I've got to go!

Lizzie: He was acting weird.

Beth: Yeah. Honey, don't worry. This is not going to interfere with our plans. I will talk to him before we leave, and everything will be fine. Now, I have to pick up James from a play date, and then I will meet you back at the house. Honey? I don't want you to worry. We're going to have fun, and you are going to feel so much better, I promise. I love you.

Lizzie: I love you, too, mom. Well, did you hear that, Roxy? She says we're going to have fun. I don't know, I guess it'll be a good opportunity for you to meet some new friends. Better than these mutts around here. I'm sure in Europe there are tons of well-trained purebreds that are just waiting to fall in love with a special little girl like you. Mm-hmm.

**********************************************

Danny: You're not telling me to stay away from Marina. Interesting.

Frank: Thanks. It's nice that my daughter has someone that she can count on. Are you up for the task?

Danny: Marina means a lot to me, Frank.

Frank: Does she know that?

Danny: Well, I plan to let her know as soon as she lets me within five feet of her again.

Frank: What, you guys aren't talking right now?

Danny: Well, not exactly. Marina thinks that we need space so that I can sort out everything that's happened with Michelle, and I agree. Well, I'm going along with it.

Frank: But you don't agree.

Danny: Um, I don't like it. But I'm respecting Marina's needs. I appreciate what you said, Frank. I know that's not easy for you.

Frank: Don't let me down, Danny. But more importantly, don't let Marina down. Thanks for the beer.

Marina: Is this seat taken?

**********************************************

Harley: "Take Jude to the dentist." "Return Zach's sneakers." "Jude, play date." "Frank, dinner-- macaroni and cheese." Seems like a million years ago. These are a mess, but I'll fix it later.

Smith: Hold it right there!

**********************************************

Gus: Busy?

Alan: Gus. Well, thank god you're here.

Gus: Well, that's nice of you to say. It's nice to feel wanted.

Alan: Yeah, well, I was worried you might have gone after Harley or tried to make contact with her.

Gus: Why? Would that be a very dumb idea?

Alan: Well, you throw your lot in with fugitives, and you become wanted yourself.

Gus: Wanted or hunted, right?

Alan: Yeah.

Gus: Depending if the price is right.

Alan: Well, the point is, neither one of those apply to you because you're home safe, where you belong. Now, why are you up here all alone?

Gus: I like to come up here, you know, make sure nobody sees me cry. Works for you, doesn't it?

Alan: At times, yeah.

Gus: Right. Good. How are you feeling tonight? About life, everything, anything?

Alan: Oh, I feel great, especially knowing you're here, safe, where you belong.

Gus: Mm-hmm. Let's talk about something else, shall we, dad? Actually, "anonymous donor"-- is that the name you're going by lately?

Alan: I... I don't know what you're talking about.

Gus: I think you know exactly what I'm talking about. And the proof is in this case right here.

**********************************************

Danny: I've missed you.

Marina: How much? This much?

Danny: Mm. Much more than that. That's closer.

Marina: I've missed you, too.

Danny: Marina, I know that we're officially taking it slow, but I have been absolutely dying to tell you how much you mean to me.

Marina: Go ahead. I'm on a long break.

Danny: I wake up every morning hoping that this will be the day that you'll let me back into your life. That's what I want.

Marina: I want it, too.

Danny: ( Sighs )

Marina: ( Sighs ) space, marina. Give him space. He doesn't know he needs it yet, but he does.

**********************************************

Coop: So, you can talk to your dog, but me, I... I get a note.

Lizzie: Well, I would have written Roxy a note too, but she left her reading glasses at home. Besides, I kind of find that as more of a letter, and a pretty good one, too.

Coop: "Sincerest regards from your employer, Lizzie"?

Lizzie: Well, sometimes that's all I feel like to you, is your boss. But then, yeah, there are some times when I feel like your friend. And then some times I...

Coop: Like what?

Lizzie: I don't know, okay? Maybe I don't know what I am to you, okay?

Coop: Besides obnoxious, you mean?

Lizzie: If I send you a postcard from Switzerland, I'll just be sure to leave it unsigned. That'll solve our problem.

Coop: Why don't you not write anything on it at all? That way you can't go wrong.

Lizzie: Fine. I just won't send anything, and that'll make both of us happy.

Coop: You know what? That's the best idea you've had yet.

Lizzie: Thank you. Excuse me.

Coop: Lizzie, wait a minute.

Lizzie: What?

Coop: Hey. You are late, again! God. I hate that kid.

Lizzie: Coop, you were saying something? It was about me. What's wrong?

Coop: Your grandfather is trying to kill my sister. Is that wrong enough?

**********************************************

Smith: Turn around, slowly.

Harley: Hello.

Smith: The landlord said that nobody should be using this place, which means you shouldn't be here. I'm going to have to see some ID.

Harley: Wait, but that's...

Smith: We can start with a business card. Ms. Spaulding. Right, now show me something with a picture on it. Credit card, driver's license.

Harley: Frankly, I'm surprised you didn't recognize me right away.

Smith: Yeah. That's why I need the ID.

Harley: Come on. Everyone who's anyone in this town knows Alexandra Spaulding. Now, what's your excuse?

**********************************************

Alan: Gus, why don't you and I just sit down and discuss this like a couple of adults, huh?

Gus: Yeah, that would be nice. The problem is, you will never cop to being the anonymous donor. Isn't that right? The person who put the bounty out on Harley's head?

Alan: Oh, I think it's money well spent. Good investment.

Gus: You copped to it. That's refreshing. It's sick, but refreshing.

Alan: Look, I don't owe you an explanation, all right? She was convicted of murdering my son, and now she is a fugitive from justice.

Gus: She didn't murder anybody. And you don't care about that, anyway. You don't want her brought in. You want her killed. Isn't that right?

Alan: Look, I'm not responsible if she chooses not to turn herself in.

Gus: Yes, but you signed her death warrant!

Alan: Yes. Like she signed your brother's.

Gus: Well, there you have it. There it is. Your little eye-for-an-eye logic that is behind every single thing that you do. You hate Harley Cooper. You hate how strong she is. You hate that she doesn't put up with your garbage. Isn't that right? And when Phillip was killed, you just slid her into the role of killer. You know what that's called, dad? That's called revenge, not justice.

Alan: A jury of her peers convicted her.

Gus: I don't care! I don't care! She is not... she is not the killer. You know what? You're more responsible for Phillip's murder than she will ever be.

Alan: You don't mean that.

Gus: Yes, I do. So here's what's going to happen, dad. You're going to call whoever it is you have to call, and you're going to cancel your little reward deal. You're going to withdraw your offer. And I don't care who or what excuses you have to make, you're going to shut down your little operation. Do you understand?

Alan: I must have heard you wrong, Gus, because no one dictates to me.

Gus: Is that right? Well, I'm telling you exactly what to do! You got it?

Alan: That would be a terrible mistake.

**********************************************

Marina: Mm. Mm-hmm. Thank you. All right, I'll be over in just a second to take your order, guys.

Danny: No, you won’t. Stop.

Marina: I'm sensing a sudden change in the routine.

Danny: Something tells me your shift's over right now.

Marina: I know I've been keeping you at arm's length, Danny.

Danny: You have.

Marina: But I missed you. I mean, I really, really missed you. I prayed every morning that I would wake up and that would be the day that you would break all my rules, and you'd come in and whisk a tray of food out of my arms and kiss me. And that's just for starters.

Danny: Then what happens?

Marina: Danny, look, I don't know what's going on with you and Michelle, but I don't care anymore. I want you.

Danny: I want you.

Frank: Hey, honey. Whoa, whoa, hey, hey! Wake up here, all right? You almost dropped the whole tray. I'll give you a hand.

**********************************************

Coop: I don't believe this.

Lizzie: It doesn't mention my granddad anywhere on here.

Coop: Oh, come on. Just look at this. I mean, "anonymous donor"? Lizzie, this has got your grandfather written all over it.

Lizzie: Why do you always have to think the worst of my family?

Coop: Oh, well, let's take a look, here. Okay, first, recent history, personal experiences...

Lizzie: My grandfather had nothing to do with this.

Coop: ( Scoffs ) Man! You know what? You have been sucked so far down into that Spaulding world, I didn't even think that was possible.

Lizzie: What is that supposed to mean?

Coop: It means that you can't wait to get on that plane to Switzerland to get away from everything, everyone here.

Lizzie: It's not someone in my family I need to get rid of.

Coop: You know what, Lizzie? I can't wait to not get that postcard that you're not going to send.

Lizzie: ( Groans in frustration ).

**********************************************

Harley: I'm astounded that you didn't take one look at my face and say to yourself, "my god, that's Alexandra Spaulding."

Smith: I'm new in town. I've only just heard about the Spauldings.

Harley: Now that we know who I am, who are you?

Smith: John smith.

Harley: How generic.

Smith: Well, my mother calls me Jack.

Harley: Jack, John, whichever you prefer, stop pointing that gun at me or I'll have to call my dear friend, Chief Frank Cooper. I'm assuming that a young security guard like yourself aspires to join the force?

Smith: Uh, yeah. How did...

Harley: Yes. Well, you would not want to pre- tarnish that little record of yours, right? Thank you, that's lovely. If you'll excuse me.

Smith: Now, wait. I... one of the things I heard about the Spauldings is that they're rich.

Harley: Crass, yes, but true.

Smith: Then what's a Spaulding doing swiping a DVD player from an abandoned office?

Harley: I'm not swiping it. I'm reassigning it, to a charitable organization. The detectives who closed this office have agreed to donate this and several other items to an annual fund-raising auction for the Springfield PTA. I'm in charge of the event, naturally, so you see it's all on the up and up. Yes, well. Excuse me.

Smith: Wait. I... do you want some help with those? Is your car right outside?

Harley: Oh. Uh, no, actually, but my driver will be pulling into the front any minute, but no, that would be lovely, Smith. Thank you.

Smith: Thank you.

**********************************************

Gus: We're not going to leave this room until you pick up the phone and you call Harley's bounty off.

Alan: That's not going to happen. See, the word is out, Gus. It's in the papers. The professionals are already searching.

Gus: There's plenty of time to call it off.

Alan: Yes, there's plenty of time for you to save yourself, but if you stay with Harley Cooper, she's going to be your death.

Gus: Are you insane?

Alan: She is taking you straight to hell. Open your eyes! You know, I may not be able to stop you, but I can stop Harley!

Gus: I'll tell you something, old man. If anything happens...

Alan: Don't you threaten me!

Gus: What? You're going to send your professionals after me? You're so amazing, you know that? You go on and on and on and pretend how precious each and every Spaulding is to you, but you know, by the time you're done, the only people, the only folks you're going to have around you are paid staff. Everybody hates you, dad. Everybody hates you. That's why they're running away from you, like rats from a sinking ship. Beth and Lizzie and James are taking off to Europe. They don't want to be around you.

Alan: Wait a minute. How did you know that?

Gus: Alexandra doesn't even trust you. That's why she keeps you at an arm's length.

Alan: That is not true.

Gus: Olivia and Emma, they're gone. And Phillip, oh, I think he's definitely gone, don't you? And me, I am so far gone it's not even funny.

Alan: Will you just stop this ranting!

Gus: You know what? You are like a spoiled big daddy trying to ruin everybody's life. You know what they call that? Control freak. It's like a drug to you. What's going to happen when you don't have anybody around you to bully anymore, hmm?

Alan: Stop it.

Gus: What's going to happen? I'll tell you what's going to happen. You're going to lose your empire. You're going to lose everybody and everything that ever meant anything to you. You are going to die a lonely old man. That's what's going to happen to you. And you know what's really sad? You think in your head that it's control, control that keeps everybody around you. But it's love. I'll tell you something. I might have a million... a million faults, but at least I know what love is, and I'm not going to live my life without love! Do you understand?

Alan: I don't think you're going to have the chance, Gus.

**********************************************

Marina: Oh.

Danny: Oh. Hi. You really are busy. Ow. I just worked out.

Marina: It really is you. You must have wrapped up your work early.

Danny: Yeah, who'd you think it was? Yeah, I did. And I was just thinking about you.

Marina: I was thinking about you, too.

Danny: Yeah?

Marina: Yeah. It's crazy busy here. I can't talk right now.

Danny: Okay. I'll call you later?

Marina: I would like that.

Danny: Is that okay with you?

Marina: Yeah.

Danny: Good. I have to give this back to you now.

Marina: Okay.

Danny: Bye.

Marina: Hey. Daddy? Can you run outside and see if Coop's out there? We're getting swamped in here.

Frank: What's the matter? Didn't Danny stick around to help you?

Marina: I know you don't like him. I do. Besides, he would have just dropped a bunch of plates, anyway.

Frank: Um, you don't know that. Who knows? Maybe he would have been a big help to you. I'll go get Coop.

Marina: Thanks.

Frank: Hey, come on, man. No time to be reading the sports page. We've got a restaurant full of people.

Coop: Yeah. All right.

Frank: What's the matter with you? Hey. What, is this about Lizzie?

Coop: No. It's, uh...

Frank: Hey, coop. Look, I know it's tough when you really care about somebody and you want things to work out for them, but sometimes you've got to let them go, okay? And you've got to hope that they come back and that they work things out. All right? What? Oh, my god.

Coop: Yeah.

**********************************************

Harley: Oh!

Lizzie: I'm so sorry, ma'am. Harley?

**********************************************

Gus: Well, look who's threatening who now.

Alan: Go. Turn around and leave this room, Gus.

Gus: What's the matter? I hit a little too close to home, did I?

Alan: Put it down.

Gus: I don't understand. What's the problem? Oh, I know what the problem is: You can't have a bounty without blood money. It's actually a little light. What, did you use big bills?

Alan: Don't do this.

Gus: You know what? Maybe I will walk out the door, but I can promise you one thing: I'm not leaving without this case.

Alan: No. That would be a mistake.

Gus: Why? I don't really understand why, because Spauldings and big briefcases full of cash, that goes together. It's like a natural. And I'm a Spaulding, so what's the problem? In fact, maybe I'll take this briefcase. Maybe I'll skim a little off the top, because that's what we do as Spauldings, we take and take and take until it's all gone, until it's empty. Kind of like your house is going to be when you're done with everybody. I'm curious. Let's see what we're dealing with.

Alan: No. No, Gus.

Gus: Oh, yes. Yes, Gus. What's the matter, dad? You don't want me to see what's in the case? Let's take a little look, shall we?

Alan: No, Gus! For god's sake, no!

Nate: Springfield's a small town, son. Our paths are bound to cross. Do you have a problem with that?

Gus: What the hell is this?
