A Cab for Three (Taxi para 3)

13 more installments and the car is mine.

Check it out, Chavelo, I made it start myself!

What is it, asshole? Get down, shithead! Come on, get down!

- What...? - Get down, jerk!

What is it?

Chose, you tideass: steer or trunk.

I got 1,000 pesos from de first round. That's all I got.

I said steer or trunk.

- Steer. - Okay, let's get outta here.

Coto, move over!

Ok, cab driver. Go straight down and you better watch out...

...I'll tell you where to stop.

So, how's the job?

If it was good, I wouldn't bring passengers here.

We thought this car could only get this far.

Problems with the start engine?

I'm still paying it and it's already giving me trouble.

Imagine it...

If everything could be fixed the way you fix things...

...with a hammer...

...that'd be something!

Alright, gentlemen... Let's work!

A CAB FOR THREE

A film by ORLANDO LUBBERT

We'd give our lives for them.

Cotito grew up by himself, that's why I show him the way.

Today's the bastard's debut.

The best school in life is still the street... Way better!

Slow down, cabby!

Slow down, slow down!

Hey! Look! Look over there!

- You see? - The old lady?

Stop!

C'mon, kiddo, do it!

Listen, where are you going with that hammer?

I don't like what you're thinking, cabby.

- I'm not a cab driver. - No?

A hostage, mugged just like the poor old lady.

Still I don't like what you're thinking.

Hurry, Coto! It's just an old lady!

She won't let go!

Leave her alone, she's just a poor old lady.

- I don't want to hear that. - Cool it, easy...

Get ready to bust outta here!

C'mon, go!

- Go, cab driver! - Let's go, get outta here!

Get outta here or or I'll rip the roof to pieces!

The red light!

Careful with the red light! Watch it! Watch it! Watch it!

Stop, we know you can drive, madman! Stop, cabdriver!

Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Watch it! Are you a bus driver?

Asshole!

Fuck you!

Cool, Fitipaldi!

Fitipaldi, Fitipaldi!

Fitipaldi, Fitipaldi, Fitipaldi!

Fitipaldi, Fitipaldi!

One buck for Cotito, one buck for me, one for Fitipaldi.

- One buck for me... - Hey, teach me how to drive.

...one for Fitipaldi. - I wanna drive like you.

- One for me, another one for you, another for Fitipaldi. - Hey, man!

One buck for Cotito, one for me, one for Fitipaldi.

The lady had like 60,000 with her.

Well...

...where do I leave you?

What? We're just starting, cabdriver!

- Well, but I'm through! - Ahhh!

Besides. I don't like this at all!

Neither do I.

The cops.

Alright, here's your share.

No, no, no, don't give anything. I'm not a thug. Keep your money.

Money is money. What is fair is fair. You're working with us now.

Working? Have you forgotten I'm being mugged?

Here's what we owe you then, son.

Next time turn the meter on.

What if I took you to the cops?

I'd cut your throat and the car's roof would stain.

You really wanna know? Let's go back to the market.

- Fitipaldi... - I can't help loving you...

- Fitipaldi... - I can't help loving you...

- Fitipaldi... - I can't help loving you...

- Fitipladi... - I can't help loving you. - Fitipaldi.

- I can't help loving you. - Fitipaldi.

C'mon, don't. What do you want blankets for?

- To cover ourselves. It's cold. - You'll make me lose my job!

Hey, don't get any closer! I sting!

Who's gonna believe I got mugged?

Don't you worry, son, we believe you.

- At least cut me! - Beat it! - At least a small cut. - Bye!

- Bye! - Cut him already!

- At least a small cut! - Bye!

A straight cut is no big deal.

I got all stained with blood!

- This one's for you. - No, not the green one!

- Why not? - It reminds me of the cops.

He didn't even ask for the blankets.

He only asked you for a small cut!

- Not "you". He asked "us"! - Just a cut, so they'd believe him.

You said it yourself, he didn't care about the blankets.

He said: "What do you want them for?"

Tell me! Would you have given them back if he'd asked?

Are you nuts? Give that asshole the blankets back?

Sure. You mug me, offer me half the money and you think...

...I don't get your game, assholes? - Tell us, what game?

Lowlives, lowlives, bullies.

The bully is the asshole he has to show the cut to.

That bastard's a bully. We're just middlemen.

Middlemen my balls! Muggers, assholes, vulgar...

...muggers. That's what you are, you vile, lowlives, vulgar...

...you steal from your own people.

Did your friends leave?

Friends? They took me as a hostage early this morning.

Hostage? Why don't you run away now? Nobody sees you.

If I'm not back in 5 minutes, they'll cut the seats of my Lada.

But it's not for my problems that I'm here. I...

...convinced them what they're doing was fucked up. - They're muggers.

Yes, first they were gonna give you two blankets, but...

...if they caught you, you'd be screwed. - So?

What d'you mean so? Leave that wound alone, man!

You should cover it, it makes me nervous.

The youngest got scared stiff, he didn't have the guts to cut me.

- Lf he had to, he'd cut your arm off. - You think so?

Listen, kiddo, what these guys want...

...is to rob your boss.

Give them the address, you'll get a share, they'll take care of everything.

You can leave the tricycle in the small shop.

Rob my boss?

Yes. You can always say you were robbed.

C'mon, boy, let's go before they fuck up my Lada.

They keep the money at an office, next to the counter.

The old man in glasses knows.

Alright, you two be ready to get out of here.

Hey, mister, thank you.

On top of all, the asshole thanks me.

- Hey, are you hungry? - A little.

- Shall we go eat something there? - Yeah.

- Is that okay? - A little thicker, please.

Put chili on it, please.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

Damn!

Run, asshole!

Quick, hurry, cab driver!

Why the fuck didn't you say they had a gun?

Why didn't you say the assholes had guns?

- You almost got us killed! - Go, cab driver!

We almost got killed!

Quiet! Quiet!

Quiet! Give him the fourth as we agreed and let's go.

His share, man, his share's missing.

50 bucks.

Give him the 50 bucks and let's get outta here.

50 bucks.

Go to the hospital, have them check that wound. Tell them a couple of...

...mongoloids mugged you.

A lot of money, considering he didn't do much.

- Chavelo, I'm hungry. - So what?

Here, kiddo.

Hey, Coto, tell him.

We fooled the boy. We scared the shit out of the old man...

...and he opened immediately the safe.

Two grands, two.

What are you doing? Where are you going?

To give the kid his share. The 4th part.

Look, blood from the old man.

Assholes.

He opened the safe because it was connected to the...

...alarm, that's why they ran after you. - What alarm?

- You gave him 50 bucks. - Yes.

You must give him 450. That's fair.

- You want me to slit your throat? - Chavelo...

This asshole has a knife on me!

What a smart cookie. Who would have thought?

Asshole.

I bet the asshole thanks me again.

Thank you.

I don't know about you, but I'm bored of working.

So let's take the stuff to your place.

- My place? - Then we'll go to ours.

- And why mine first? - Just think.

Ulises, you brought blankets, what a surprise!

Listen, one question and I'll hit you!

Hey, mum, Carlos' staying for dinner!

Carolina's also staying!

Here begins an adventure we want you to witness...

It's Javiera's turn to serve.

- Amaro, go get the bread. - I did it last time!

And I cooked the last time.

It's always me.

May I also bring some Coke?

No Coke today. Just water.

- Sure, today's the 20th. - The Lada's installment...

We entered the aquatic phase: soup and water.

I bought Coke. Dad gave me the money.

Bring the Coke, Amaro, and stop the talking.

And me, saving like a fool.

- May I ask without being kicked? - No.

- You should've bounced it here. - Quiet. They're talking about UFOs.

You threw Coke on the TV, Amaro.
