The Candy Snatchers

There she is.

Little Candy Phillips.

Do I get to ball her?

You won't have time.

What if he takes her home?

No chance.

She's not that kinda girl.

Okay, let's do it.

Calm down baby.

You're just bein' kidnapped.

Bitch!

Leave her alone.

Right on schedule.

You ran a red light!

Are ya crazy?

All right.

Do you know what would happen

to us if we got in an accident?

All right, all right.

Shut up about it anyway!

I can't do everything.

Hey?

What are you doin'?

Listen chicky, this little blindfold here

is the only thing that's keepin' you alive?

So you figure out whether you want it on or off, okay?

On the button.

Will you turn her over?

Okay.

When I say three.

One, two, three.

Hurry up, it's 4:30!

Hey, take it easy baby.

If your old man's generous you'll be home for dinner.

Gotta hand it to you Jessie, I,

I could never have thought of this.

Me neither.

It was on television.

You think anybody saw us?

No way.

Let's get our asses outta here.

Fantastic.

That's evidence.

Pick it up.

Yeah.

Who's there?

You ready?

Turn.

Sean!

Sean Newton!

Where have you been?

Where have, oh never mind.

I don't care.

I'm not interested, I don't have time for games.

We are late Sean and your God damn father still isn't home.

And when I come back those fingernails had better be clean.

Synchronize watches.

Remember, two minutes.

Okay, mark it.

Sean, hold still!

This is the first time your father's boss

has ever asked us to dinner,

and do you know what that means?

His own territory.

But you are going to have to be extra special.

Do you understand me?

Hey big fella.

How you doin'?

Not now Champ.

Dad's got to wack off the whiskers.

Sock it to him.

Is that her old man?

Brown suit.

Good.

Thank you.

The way you do business might start a new trend.

Possibly.

We're late.

We have to go.

Hello.

Mr. Phillips?

One moment, please.

It was my intention.

Telephone.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

This is Avery Phillips.

Listen carefully.

You will take every diamond in the store two carats

or bigger and put them in your briefcase.

Who is this?

Don't talk, listen.

We've got your daughter.

Taped to the rear door of the store

you will find a map telling you

where to leave the briefcase.

It will take you exactly 38 minutes to get there.

We're giving you two minutes leeway.

If you ever wanna see Candy again,

I suggest you don't waste those minutes calling the police.

Remember, if your daughter dies,

she's on your conscience, not ours.

Wait a...

Wait.

Did he say anything?

No.

Let's go.

Howard?

You go on home.

I think Mr. Stoddard's coming in in the morning

and I want to look over the trays myself.

Well, thank you Mr. Phillips.

Lisa?

Go into my office and write down

my appointments for tomorrow morning.

I wanna know exactly what I have.

Write?

Yes, write.

Yes, Sir.

How'd it go?

Like a Greek watch.

I might be a little late.

And for God sake's Dudley,

promise me you will not eat with your mouth open.

If there's one thing I can't stand

it's you when you eat with your mouth open.

Jesus.

What are you gonna tell me,

you don't eat with your mouth open?

Drop it Audrey.

All right.

But people notice.

God damn!

I actually think we're gonna pull this thing off.

Right on time!

Does he know about my mother's house in Laguna?

I've never even talked to the man.

Well, I don't think it would hurt to mention it.

Don't you ever do that when I'm driving!

Ever!

I could kill somebody.

The perfect crime.

Dear?

Did Candy ever get a hold of you?

What?

Candy called.

She's spending the night at a friend's house.

Katherine?

I'm cutting patterns, dear.

I'll be down in a minute.

Books.

Binoculars.

Rye crisps.

Rye crisps?

Bird watchers love it.

Move out.

You got the drop point?

Yeah.

He's not there yet.

Avery?

Avery?

Have you seen my glass?

It's right here, dear.

Why didn't Candy call me?

She tried.

Your line was busy.

Oh.

Well, what with the church bazaar coming up

on Sunday there's so much to do.

So many details.

You know, if you knew how good these drinks are

when you make them you would just...

Dear,

I'm afraid I'm gonna be a little late again tonight.

You know the damn Dutch and their cartels.

I'd rather deal with the South African's anytime.

You've said that.

Well, well.

I bet there's somethin' you're

just dyin' to talk about?

Wait a minute, let me guess?

Now, let me see now.

You went out today?

And you saw something?

Oh, kids love me.

I can do anything with 'em, anything.

Just watch this.

Now, just exactly what did you see?

Well, come on, cat got your tongue?

Come on, speak.

Come on.

He doesn't.

- Talk. - Talk, yes.

What do you mean he doesn't talk?

All kids talk.

Not ours.

There's

some sort of problem.

Problem?

You hear that mother?
