It was in the paper this morning.
$19.83.
Okay.
Are you here all by yourself?
Ma'am, I'm 8 years old.
You think I'd be here alone?
I don't think so.
Where's your mom?
- In the car.
- Where's your dad?
- He's at work.
- What about brothers and sisters?
I'm an only child.
- Where do you live?
- I can't tell you.
- Why not?
- Cause you're a stranger.
Hello, Kevin!
Shut up!
I don't get it.
It looks like there's nobody's home.
Last night the place is jumping.
Something ain't right.
Go check it out.
Now?
No, tomorrow, egghead!
Now! Go ahead.
"Now."
Shit!
Get the hell out of here.
All right, Johnny.
But what about my money?
What money?
A.C. Said you had
some dough for me.
Is that a fact?
How much do I owe you?
A.C. Said ten percent.
Too bad A.C.
Ain't in charge no more.
What do you mean?
He's upstairs, taking a bath.
He'll call you when he gets out.
Hey, I tell you what I'm
gonna give you, Snakes.
- Snakes?
- I'll give you to the count of ten...
... to get your ugly,
yellow, no-good...
... keister off my property...
... before I pump you full of lead.
All right, Johnny. I'm sorry.
I'm going.
One, two... ten.
Keep the change, you filthy animal.
What happened?
I don't know who, but somebody
just got blown away.
Somebody beat us,
they're in there.
Two of them.
There was arguing.
One blew the other one away.
- Who?
- I don't know.
I recognized one of their voices.
I heard that name "Snakes" before.
Snakes? Snakes. Snakes.
I don't know no Snakes.
Snakes. Let's get out of here.
Hold it. Hold it.
Let's wait and see who it is.
We work this neighborhood too.
Suppose the cops finger us
for a job...
...and they ask us about
a murder in the area.
Wouldn't it be nice to have
a face to go with it?
That's a good idea.
Of course it's a good idea.
Snakes?
He sounded like a snake.
Everything's full.
Everything's full?
I'm very sorry, but
it is Christmas Eve.
What about another airline?
Nothing available.
May I help you get a hotel room?
Tomorrow we can get you a flight.
I can't wait that long.
I'm sorry, ma'am, but we're
doing absolutely everything we can.
I'm in your way. I'm sorry.
You've places to go.
Got a ticket there, good. Excuse me.
Look, I have been awake
for almost 60 hours.
I'm tired and I'm dirty.
I have been from Chicago to Paris,
to Dallas, to... Where am I?
Scranton.
I'm trying to get home
to my 8-year-old son.
Now you're telling me it's hopeless?
- I'm sorry.
- No. No way.
This is Christmas!
The season of perpetual hope.
If I have to get on
your runway and hitchhike...
...if it costs me everything I own...
...if I have to sell my soul
to the Devil himself...
...I am going to get home to my son.
Ma'am, if there was anything...
Do it. Do anything.
- I can get you a hotel room.
- What?
Can you excuse us for a sec?
Can I see you for a second, please?
Excuse us.
You got a little bit of a dilemma.
We got a crisis ourselves.
Allow me to introduce myself.
Gus Polinski.
Polka King of the Midwest?
The Kenosha Kickers?
- Hi there.
- Hiya.
That's okay. I thought you might
have recognized...
I had a few hits a few years ago.
That's why I just...
"Polka, Polka, Polka"?
Polka, polka, polka
"Twin Lakes Polka"?
"Yamahoozie Polka," a.k.a.
"Kiss Me Polka"? "Polka Twist"?
These are songs?
Yeah. Yeah, we...
Some fairly big hits for us.
You know, in the early '80s.
Yeah, we sold about 623
copies of that.
- In Chicago?
- No, Sheboygan.
Very big in Sheboygan.
Did you say you could help?
Anyway, I'm rambling on here.
Our flight was canceled...
...so we're gonna drive. See the guy
in the yellow jacket over there?
He's gonna rent us a nice big van
to drive to Milwaukee.
Now, I heard you had some problems
getting to Chicago?
To see your kid or something?
Uh, my son.
