Transcript to the movie Repo Man
by Steve Farmer

edit and tv updates by Bob Cantor

Changes found in the TV version are shown in this color. Scenes or lines removed in the TV version are enclosed in []'s, while dialogue in ()'s replaces whatever came immediately before it (this is not necessarily definitive, however, because my only access to the TV version is off of TV, and shots may have been cut for time reasons). Note that the TV version was edited by director Alex Cox and contains scenes and lines that were not included in the theatrical version of the movie (several of these scenes are also in the video trailer even though they do not appear in the theatrical release, which is the version contained on VHS and DVD).

Spanish dialog is provided on a best-guess basis, and enclosed in parenthesis when just making a wild guess.

Repo Man theme music now begins playing. Map is shown in background (green text on black background), zoomed in on Los Alamos, New Mexico. While remaining credits are shown, the map travels to Sante Fe, then Albuquerque, then begins following US66 west through Arizona to California, finally ending up a few miles east of Goffs (northwest of Needles).

Malibu is weaving down the highway in the desert, passes billboard with motorcycle cop behind it. Cop pulls out behind Malibu.

J. Frank Parnell (driving the Malibu and singing softly): Forty-niner and his daughter Clementine. Oh my darlin, oh my darlin...

Motorcycle cop pulls the car over, gets off motorcycle and raps on car window.

J. Frank Parnell: Clementine Clemen-

County Sheriff: Let me see your drivers license.

Radio: Post ten-eighteen. Post ten-eighteen.

County Sheriff: From out of town, hmm? What's you got in the trunk?

J. Frank Parnell: oah...you don't want to look in there.

County Sheriff: Give me the keys.

The motorcycle cop walks around to the back of the car and opens the trunk. The car has New Mexico license plates KBB-283. In every scene after this when the plates are visible, they will be 127-GBH.

County Sheriff: AHHHHHH!

The motorcycle cop gets disintegrated, leaving behind a pair of flaming boots (a reference to the movie Timerider, which was co-written and produced by Mike Nesmith). Parnell watches from side mirror, where we see that the left side of his sunglasses have no lens.

J. Frank Parnell (driving away): Oh my darlin Clementine, you are lost now gone forever, dreadful sorry Clementine.

Kevin: Do Do Do De Do De Do De Do De Do Feeling Do De Da Do De Do De Do Feeling seven-up. I'm feeling seven-up. Feeling seven up. I'm feeling seven up. It's a crisp refreshing feeling crystal clear and light. America's drinking seven-up and it sure feels right. Feeling lucky seven.

Otto puts price sticker on Kevin's glasses.

Otto: Kevin stop singing man.

Kevin: Feeling seven eleven.

Kevin: Hum. I wasn't singing guy.

Otto: I'm standing right next to you and you're fucking (flippin) singing. Cut it out.

Kevin: Jeeze. Why so tense guy?

Mr. Humphries: Otto?

Kevin: Mister Humphries!

Mr. Humphries: You were late again this morning. Now normally I'd let it go but it's been brought to my attention that you're not paying attention to the way you space the cans. Many young men of your age in these uncertain times-

Mr. Humphries: Otto! Are you paying attention to me?

Louie: Hey! He's talking to you!

Otto [giving Louie the middle finger with both hands]: Fuck (flip) you!

Kevin chuckles

Otto pushes Kevin into the stack of cans. Louie pulls his gun.

Louie: (Basta!) [Bendecho. Come on fucker. Come on just try it. Come on.]

Kevin: You gotta love getting fired from your job in a big way, Otto.

Mr. Humphries (to Kevin): What are you laughing at? Louie, throw him out too.

Louie: Come on you [fucking] worm. Get out of here.

Louie shoves Kevin down aisle where Otto is walking out. Otto takes off his clip-on bow tie and tosses it back towards Louie. Louie twirls his gun and puts it away. Note that the store aisle is lined with nothing but generic products, plain black lettering on white background. All products in movie from now on will have this appearance.

Otto is there slamdancing and Duke walks up, the two of them swing each other around. Behind them, the graffiti on the wall says "Circle Jerks", a band which will appear later in the movie.

Otto: How you doing dude? When did you get out of the slammer man?

[ Otto, getting undressed: Ah. Excuse me while I fold my pants.

Debbi: What's the difference? ]

Otto: Huh?

Otto lays back on the bed and puts his hands behind his head.

Otto: okay

Debbi pulls back his shirt a little and begins kissing his stomach, then stops.

Debbi: Otto. Otto.

Otto: What?

Debbi: Get me another beer.

Otto goes downstairs and there's a party going on. Institutionalized plays in background.

Kevin: Ow. Cool. Ow. Dammit. I'm supposed to be the host here.

Kevin: Ow!

Otto returns to the bedroom

Otto: Debbi honey. I got you a beer.

Otto turns on light and finds Duke there with Debbi.

[Otto: Shit.

Debbi: Just ignore him Duke he's nothing but a big baby.

Duke: Turn the fucking light out.]

Otto leaves room just as Kevin arrives and looks in the door.

Kevin: What are you doing? Nobody supposed to be up here. This is my parent's room.
(Kevin: Dude, nobody supposed to be up here, this is my parent's room.)

It's early morning and Otto starts walking.

Otto: Don't want to talk about anything else. We don't want to know. We're just dedicated...to our favorite shows. Saturday night live, Monday night football, Dallas, Jeffersons, Gilligan's island, Flintstones. ]

Bud pulls up next to him in a blue sedan.

Bud: Hey kid! (Honk) Hey! Hey kid! Hey! Hey! Are you hard of hearing?

Otto: What do you want?

Bud: You want to make ten bucks?

Otto: Fuck you, queer.(Shove off, pervert)

Bud: Now waita minute wait a minute kid you got the wrong idea. Look my old lady is real sick and I got to get her to the hospital, okay?

Otto: So what? Take her there.

Bud: I can't. I can't leave her car in this bad area. Look I need some helpful soul to drive it for me, okay? She's pregnant. She's with twins. She could drop at any time. All right?

Otto: Well, uh, how much are you going to give me?

Bud: Fifteen bucks.

Otto: No. Won't do it for less than twenty.

Bud: Twenty-five. Follow me in my old lady's car. It’s right here. okay?

Otto: All right... Where's, uh, where's your old lady at?

Bud: Never mind about that. Right now we need to get both of my cars out of this bad area, allright? Come on.

Otto gets in the car, a white 4 door Cutlass sedan.

from the apartment: (baby crying) Papa! (?) aqui. un gringo (en la calle con su coche)

[Looking through the window of the apartment, the sedan becomes a 2 door coupe.]

Bud: Let's go.

Car owner, grabbing Otto: (Vete la chingada!) (followed by several more exclamations in Spanish)

Bud and Otto drive down freeway, Chevy Malibu swerves in front of them. It is moving right across the lanes but has the left blinker on.

(Marlene talks on phone simultaneously with other conversations).
Marlene: Helping hand acceptance cooperation Marlene speaking.

Repo victim: You know damn straight what I'm talking about. It's sitting right out side. It took me two weeks to get this money up so I can come and get it.

Marlene: I don't think so sir you'll have to call back. I'll call you back O.K.?

Oly: That ain't your car.

Repo victim's girl: Hey don't let him lie to you like that. Unh?

Marlene: Thanks Bud.

Repo victim: Are you going to give me my car or do I got to go to your house and shove your dog's head down the toilet.

Marlene: Helping hand acceptance cooperation Marlene speaking.

Plettschner: Take it easy sonny boy.

Repo victim's girl: Shut up rent-a-cop.

Oly: Best goddamn (gol-durn) car on the lot.

Repo victim: You damn right it is.

Marlene: Will you, Will you hold please?

Marlene: Helping hand acceptance cooperation Marlene speaking.

Repo victim: Say moma what's happening? You want to take a lift?

Marlene: No thank you. L.A.P.D. I wanted to report a repo in Boro heights area.

Repo victim's girl: Let's go.

The Repo victim and his girl leave

Plettschner: A Cadillac. Is he a pimp?

Bud: Shut up Plettschner.

Marlene: Bud what street was that car on?

Bud: Honey I don't know, some alley uh. Hey kid!

Oly throwing Otto a beer: Here kid.

Oly answering the phone: Helping hand.

Marlene: You got a drivers license honey?

Oly on the phone: Oh Yeah! Fuckin-a (flippin right) we ripped your car. Asshole (airhead)!

Marlene: Let me see it.

Oly on the phone: You want to know who told us where it was? Your goddamn (gol-durned) brother.

Marlene: Are you really twenty-one?

Otto: That's what it says doesn't it.

Oly: Hey you want some help with that beer kid?

Otto: You're all repo men.

Oly: What if we are?

Otto pours the beer on the floor.

Bud: You know kid, uhh, usually when someone pulls shit (stuff) like that my first reaction is uhh I want to punch his fucking (flippin) lights out.

Bud: But you know something?

Bud and Oly: You're all right!

Bud: Right Lite?

Lite enters

Lite: Got any messages for me baby?

Marlene: Yeah. Here you go.

Oly: Cracks me up.

Lite: Somebody pissed (puked) on the floor again?

Oly: Maybe he's looking for a job? Huh budsky?

Bud: Could be? What do you say kid were always on the look out for a few good men.

Otto: Screw (stuff) that! Ain't going to be no repo man. No way!

Marlene, handing Otto the 25 dollars: It's too late...you already are.

Miller (handing Otto a pine tree air freshener): You find one in every car. You'll see.

We begin scene looking through the windshield of a police motorcycle. The windshield of the police motorcycle naturally has a pine tree air freshener hanging from it. We see some people searching around in the desert, most of them in radiation suits, with a local sheriff following a woman in a business suit.

Radio: Come in Officer Labeef do you read me?

Radio: Chuck will you stop fooling around?

Sheriff: [Years ago I saw five cows mutilated. Legs sticking up in the air. Their ah their ah testicles were gone. I think Canadian bacon is better myself.] I've never seen the like of that.

Radio: I have the stats on that car Officer Labeef.

Radio: Ten-forty Baker

Sheriff: What could have done that to him? Gasoline? Napalm?

Agent Rogersz: It happens sometimes. People just explode. Natural causes.

Sheriff: What?

Agent Rogersz: Suspect presence on west coast confirmed. Do not notify police.

Otto: Night watchman in Pomona.

Kevin: Yep.

Otto: Asbestos worker. City of industry.

Kevin: Yep Yep!

Otto: French fry maker Agoura. Ha Ha that's absurd.

Kevin: Yeah? Well you think it's funny huh? There's fucking (lots of) room to move as a fry cook, man. You know I could be manager in two years? King! God! (egad!)

Otto: You know Kevin, I had this wild fucking (flippin) dream the other night.

Kevin: I bet.

Otto: It was with you and me and we were working in this sleazy shithole (shabby) motel down in Miami, Florida. And we were bellhops and we were sixty-five years old. It was so real it was really real, realistic.

Kevin: And then what, you woke up in a puddle (cold sweat)?

Otto: Fuck you! (drop dead)

Kevin: Fucking (you) jerk.

Otto stands up and starts to walk away.

Kevin: Where you going asshole (snotnose)?

Otto: Away from you.

Note: Edge City, also the name of the film's production company, is a recurring theme in Tom Wolfe's "Electric Kool-Ade Acid Test".

Reverend Larry on the TV: The lord has told me personally. Yay for I walk with the lord, Amen. He said Larry you and your flock shall seek the promise land. But only if you first destroy the twin evils of godless communism abroad and liberal humanism at home. Oh joy and Hallelujah smash 'em down. Now my friends.

Otto: Mother, father. Got anything to eat?

Reverend Larry: Occasionally we get a letter from a viewer that says now the only reason Reverend Larry comes on your television set is because he wants your money. And do you know what? They're right! I do want your money. Because god wants your money. So I want you to go out and mortgage that home and sell that car and send me your money. You don't need that car. (continues in background)

Otto mom: Put it on a plate son you'll enjoy it more.

Otto: I couldn't enjoy it any more mom MMM MMM MMM This is swell.

Otto: Dad? Hey Dad?

Otto dad: What is it son?

Otto: Do you remember that you once told me along time ago. Well not too long ago but ummm. That you told me that you'd give me a thousand dollars to go to Europe if I finish school. Well you know something? You were right. About finishing school that's ah that's what I'd like to do. But umm I want to know if I could have the money first. Like now. [You know I really love you Dad I've always loved you. You too mom. What do you say?

Otto dad: I don't have it anymore.

Otto: What?]

Otto mom: You father gave all our extra money to the Reverend's telethon, Otto. [We're sending bibles to El Salvador.]

Otto: Well what about me?

Otto dad: You're on the honor roll of the chariots of fire. Same as us, Otto. It was a gift. From all of us jointly.

Otto mom: We're sending bibles to El Salvador.

Jazz music plays on the radio. In almost all scenes inside of Buds car, Jazz music will be playing on the radio.

Otto: So how much do I get paid, twenty-five buck a car.

Bud: Paid? You don't get paid. Are you kidding, you work on commission, that's better than getting paid.

Bud: Most cars you rip are worth two or three hundred dollars. Fifty thousand dollar Porsche (german pronounciation) might make ya five grand.

Bud honking at car in front of him: Come on dickhead (dumbhead).

Bud: It helps if you dress like a detective, too. Detectives dress kind of square. People think this guy is a cop. They're going to think you're packing something. They don't fuck (mess) with you so much.

Otto: Are you?

Bud: Am I what?

Otto: Packin' something.

Bud: Ha. Only an asshole (a jackass) gets killed for a car. Guys who make it are the guys who get into their cars at anytime. Get in at three A.M. get up at four. That's why there ain't a repo man I know that don't take speed.

Otto: Speed huh?

Bud: C'mon.

(In the television version, this entire scene takes place while watching Bud's car drive down a road, but you can still hear the snorting in the background.)

[Bud snorting a line: Jesus Christ.]

Bud: Never broke into a car. Never hot-wired a car. Kid. I never broke into a trunk. I shall not cause harm to any vehicle nor the personal contents thereof. Nor through inaction let that vehicle or the personal contents thereof come to harm. That's what I call the repo code kid. Don't forget it etch it in your brain. Not many people got a code to live by anymore.

Bud: Hey! Hey look at that. Look at those assholes (that) over there.

We see a group of people around a tow truck with a car being hooked up to it.

Bud: Ordinary [fucking] people I hate 'em.

Otto: Me too.

Bud: What do you know? See an ordinary person spend his life avoiding tense situations. Repoman spends his life getting into tense situations. [Assholes]! Lets go get a drink.

Bud sets 2 six packs of "drink" down on the counter.

Bud: Tense situations kid. Get into five or six of them a day and it don't mean shit (zilch) anymore. I mean I seen men stabbed and it didn't mean shit (zilch). I've seen guns. Guns too they don't mean shit (zilch) but that's when you got to watch your self. Here I'll handle it pal. Uh settle down.

Bud: Have a nice day. Or night. Night, day, it doesn't mean shit (zilch).

Duke, Archie, and Debbi rise from behind counter as Otto and Bud leave.

Duke: Wasn't that Otto?

Debbi: Otto who?

Duke: You gotta watch yourself. (takes off mask) Have a nice day . . . night.

Pakman goes inside and Bud and Otto leave with the car.

Bud: There's going to be some bad shit (stuff) coming down one of these days kid.

Otto: Oh yeah? Where you going to be? On the moon?

Bud: Ung Uh, I'm going to be right here heading north at a hundred and ten per.

Otto: In this junker?

The Rodriguez brothers pull up along side of them in a red convertible with black fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror. Latino music plays on the radio.

Otto: Cool car.

Bud: Uh Oh! The Rodriguez brothers.

[Lagarto flips them off

Otto: Motherfucker just flipped you off.

Bud: Roll the window down.] Roll the window down.

Lagarto: A donde vas, pendejo?

Bud: A chingas tu esposa!

A brother: Hey Bud, hey Bud, who's your new girlfriend?

Otto: Watch it mother fucker. (Girlfriend? watch it melonfarmer!)

Lagarto: Hey fuck you pussy punk. (flip you, you punk.)

[Otto: Holy shit.]

Napoleon: Want me to take them?

Otto: Wo! Hey!

They chase each other and end up sliding out

Bud: God damn dipshit Rodriguez gypsy dildo punks. I'll get your ass!
(Bud: dang blamed dumb suck Rodriguez gypsy devil punks. I'll get your can!)

Otto: HAHAHA WOW! That was intense.

Bud: Repo man's always intense. Come on let's go get a drink.

Otto: Gee bud. You never told me it was going to be like this man. Cops and robbers. Hahahahah. Real live car chases. Hahahahah.

Archie has a bag over his head. Debbi accidentally fires gun into the air.

Archie: Shit (shoot)! Debbi!

Duke: If you say our names we'll have to kill all these people Archie.

Archie: They all ran away.

Debbi: Come on you douche bags. (come on, get the lead out.)

They run out, Archie's bag flying off his head. Bud and Otto enter just after they leave.

Bud: Awful quiet in here. It's too quiet.

Otto: So who are these Rodriguez boys.

Bud: Rodriguez brothers. Lagarto and Napoleon. Two notorious delinquents currently responsible for at least thirty vehicles in the field.

Quick shot of Rodriguez brothers in car lot signing papers on a car. Although not made entirely clear in the movie, Lagarto and Napoleon apparently will buy an inexpensive car and pay for it in order to establish a good credit rating. Then they go out and buy nice cars and never make payments on them.

Otto: Scumbags

Lite: They ain't scumbags. They car thieves just like use.

Lite: There's Miss Magruder. You want to go for it?

Lite hands Otto a bag. Otto looks inside and laughs.

Otto: Good gag, you pull this one a lot?

Lite: Only on the women. It never fails.

Otto: Excuse me? Miss Magruder? I have something here for you.

Otto takes dead rat from bag and tosses it into Ms. Magruder's car

Ms. Magruder: Uhm how utterly charming.

Ms. Magruder sprays Otto in the face with mace

Otto: Ow! Ow! Ow! Motherfucker! (mother...) Ow! Ow! Ow! Christ! I'm blind man. Lite? Lite, where are you man?

Bud: Ruthside Peason brokerage consultant. Fucking (flippin) millionaire six payments behind. I've never understood it.

Otto: What's that?

Bud: The fucking (flippin) millionaires. They never pay their bills. See you at the yard.

Otto: Let me get this one.

Bud: No. I'll handle this one. Mister Peason is carrying a permit for a pistol.

Otto grabs the slimjim and gets out of the car

Bud: Hey! Hey! Hey! Give me that.

Otto: Don't underestimate me ace.

Inside laundromat, talking to two kids:

Ruthside Peason: And also, naturally, I'd like them to be right next to each other. In addition I'd like them to be as close to the window as possible so I can sit in my car and watch my things. So all you have to do is take your clothes out of here like this and put them into a machine over there like that.

Peason Sees Otto driving off with the car.

Ruthside Peason: Oh my god (lord)! Oh! Oh my god (lord)! Stop!

Car radio plays Pablo Picasso. Otto sees Leila running on the sidewalk and slows down while watching her.

Otto: Hey! Hey! You want a ride? Hey babe need a ride?

Otto runs into some garbage cans, stops and gets out just as an old lady walks up.

Old lady: Pick it up! Look at you. You pick it up. You know yourself you were wrong.

Otto: Well what were they doing out in the middle of the street?

Old lady: They weren't in the middle of the street. That not the middle of the street that's the corner.

Old lady: Go on you pick it up.

Otto: What?

Old lady: You pick it up.

Otto: Haha, no way. You still want a ride or what?

Old lady: No I don't.

Leila and Otto drive off in the car

Otto: My name is Otto.

Leila: Leila. Is this your car?

Otto: Yeah it's one of them.

Leila: Heh, one of them? You think you're pretty slick don't ya? I bet you're a used car salesman.

Otto: I am not.

Leila: You dress like one.

Otto: I'm a repo man.

Leila: What's that?

Otto: It’s a repossesser. I take back cars from dildos (deadbeats) who don't pay their bills. Cool huh?

Hombre Secreto plays on car radio.

Leila: No.

Leila hides as a car with two men pulls up next to them

Otto: What are you doing?

Leila: Those men in the car next to us don't look at them. Don't look at them! If they see me they'll kill me.

Otto: Really why?

Otto: Ow! What the hell are you doing?

Otto: What's going on?

Leila: Take a look at this.

Leila shows Otto a picture. As she does, we notice she is wearing a yellow happy face watch.

Otto: What's this? It looks like sausage.

Leila: It isn't sausage Otto. That's a picture of four dead aliens.

Otto: HAHAHAH

Leila: Laugh away fuckface (fatface) that picture is going to be on the cover of ever major newspaper in two days time.

Otto: How do you know that?

Leila: Part of a secret network. A scientist who is also in our secret sect smuggled the corpses off of this air force base. Now he's got them in the truck of his car. It's a Chevy Malibu. We've got to find him.

Otto: What are you going to do with them, put them on Johnny Carson?

Leila: Yes! We're going to have a press conference and tell the world.

Radio: Ehw. What's that? I don't know dear. But it is alive. It seems friendly though. Aw look it's curled up. How cute oh no. Maybe we can take it home it doesn't seem to have any. Oh yes let's. But no! No matter how appealing do not let strange creature in you house. We all know strange creatures are on the increase. Many of them do seem furry and adorable, but beware we don't know from whence they came. Be safe. Be safe. Report strange incidences today. (continues in background)

They pull up in front of a building

Otto: United fruitcake outlet.

Leila: My door doesn't open.

Otto lets Leila out

Leila: Thanks for the ride.

As Leila stands there, we notice she has a yellow happy face pin on her dress.

Otto: Sure Ummm I don't know. what do you think? Ah want to go out with me again sometime?

Leila: I don't know. I'm going to be kind of busy with work, the Malibu and everything.

Otto: Hey great. Terrific. Here's your shit (stuff).

Leila: What's your problem? I mean girls might like you if you lightened up a little bit.

Otto: Fuck (Flip me). Girls pay to go out with me. All right?

Leila: You wanna get back in the car?

Otto: What, here?

Leila: Yeah.

Squeals are heard from the back seat of the car

Oly: Twenty thousand dollars for a Chevy Malibu?

Oly: Who's double X finance?

Marlene: Store front operation, but the money is in escrow.

Otto sits down and picks up a copy of the News. The alien picture is on the front page and the headline reads "Top Professors Startling Discovery: ETs Will Land Any Day Now".

Marlene: Want me to notify the boys?

Oly: Uh, naw. They're always bitching (crying) about their case load. I think I'll go out for a while.

Marlene: Why? We out of beer?

Oly: Somebody has to work around here. Keep making me money kid.

Otto: Fuck (flip) you.

Lite: Man we've been looking for this little red devil for a long time. Just act natural. Nobody knows if it’s your car or somebody elses car.

Lite: Now you work with that. You give it a try. All right?

Lite: Let me give you a hand we don’t have a whole year to find it boy.

Otto: Got it.

They slimjim the car and get in

Lite: Lets get out of here. Put your seat belt on.

Lite: Put your seat belt on boy! I don't ride with anybody unless they wear their seatbelt. It's one of my rules.

Otto, going through Lite's briefcase, picks up gun.

Lite: Put that damn gun down boy. It ain't no toy. [Shit.]

Lite: I walk into someone's place of work. They shit (plum) scared. They know I'm not a cop. They think I've come to kill 'em and I would. I'd kill anybody who crosses me. You know what I mean?

Otto goes through glove compartment, puts on pair of sunglasses he finds there (reference to the movie Kings of the Road with cinematography by Robby Mueller). Lite puts a lighter to the cigarette in his mouth, but fails to light it. A few moments later he does it again and succeeds in getting it lit.

Lite: Do you like music?

Otto: Sure.

Lite: In that case you're going love this.

Lite puts cassette in player. Lite's Theme starts playing.

Lite: I was into these dudes before anybody. Partied with them all the time. Asked me to be their manager. I called bullshit (no way) on that. Managing a pop group hey that ain't no job for no man.

Otto sees boxes wrapped in ribbons in back seat and hands one to Lite who throws it out window. A car runs over box and we see that it is full of money. Otto continues throwing boxes out of the window.

Lite: You read that book I gave you?

Otto: What book?

Lite: Dioretix. Science of matter over mind.

Otto: Unh uhg

Lite: You'd better read it and quick. That book will change your life. Found it in a Maseratti in Beverly hills. [You know what I mean?]

Otto holds up book he's about to throw in burning garbage can. Book says "Dioretix: The Science of Matter over Mind. By A. Rum Bi..."

Miller: A lot of people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch of unconnected incidences and things. They don't realize that there's this like lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. I'll Give you an example, show you what I mean. Suppose you thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly somebody will say like plate or shrimp or plate of shrimp out of the blue no explanation. No point in looking for one either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

Otto: You eat a lot of acid Miller, back in the hippie days?

Miller: I'll give you another instance. You know the way everybody's into weirdness right now. Books in all the supermarkets about Bermuda triangles, UFO's, how the Mayans invented television. That kind of thing.

Otto: I don't read them books.

Miller: Well the way I see it it's exactly the same. There ain't no difference between a flying saucer and a time machine. People get so hung up on specifics. They miss out on seeing the whole thing. Take South America for example. In South America thousands of people go missing every year. Nobody knows where they go. They just like disappear. But if you think about it for a minute, you realize something. There had to be a time when there was no people. Right?

Otto: Yeah. I guess.

Miller: Well where did all these people come from? hmmm? I'll tell you where. The future. Where did all these people disappear to? hmmm?

Otto: The past?

Miller: That's right and how did they get there?

Otto: How the fuck (hell) do I know?

Miller: Flying saucers. Which are really? Yeah you got it. Time machines. I think a lot about this kind of stuff. I do my best thinking on the bus. That how come I don't drive, see?

Otto: You don't even know how to drive.

Miller: I don't want to know how. I don't want to learn. See? The more you drive, the less intelligent you are.

Bud: You know I think I saw one of those things once. One of those UFOs. I mean it was really it was kind of kind of scary. I saw all these colored lights and, uh, sounds. I mean sounds and lights like I never heard before. I mean it was really weird.

Otto: Bud.

Bud: Yeah?

Otto: Do you think all repo men follow the code?

Bud: Of course. Well I mean you see a lot of fucked (messed) up cars come in but...99 time out of 100 it was the customer who fucked (mucked) them up. Assholes (Damn fools).

Bud: I'm offering a thousands dollars for his Falcon. You know what that is Napoleon? It's a bribe.

Napoleon: Who the hell is this? Napoleon? Who the fuck (hell) are you calling?

Bud: It's a grand if you show me where his car is Napoleon.

[Napoleon: Ahh. Go fuck yourself asshole.]

Bud: Hello? Prick (Jerk).

Inside the Rodriguez brothers' place, Napoleon looking at repo sheet on Malibu, which Marlene brought to them.

Napoleon: Sixty-four Chevy Malibu. Twenty grand.

Bud (from outside the window): Waiting!

Napoleon: We could buy ten of them for that, Marlene.

Marlene: Think you can find it now?

Bud in the street: I'm not going anywhere.

Napoleon: Now how come this junk is worth so much? What's in it? Drugs?

Bud in the street: Got all night amigo!

Lagarto: Los Hermanos Rodriguez don't approve of drugs.

Marlene: Neither do I, but it's my birthday.

Bud in the street: I'm going to get your [ass].

[Marlene: That motherfucker's still down there.]

Bud in the street in front of the Rodriguez brother's house

Bud: Don't care how long it takes, dildos (jerks). Repo man's got all night every night.

Brothers make paper airplane of repo sheet and float it down to Bud. Bud picks it up and reads it.

Bud: [Jesus Christ] twenty thousand dollars.

Leila's answering machine: Hi this is Leila. I'm not here right now. So please leave your name, number and a brief message and a time you called at the beep. And please try to be frank.

Otto: Hey Leila! All right, um, this is Otto. The guy who gave you a ride and stuff. I heard something about that car.

Leila answering the phone: Otto? Otto?

Leila takes Otto into a cinderblock room which has a neon sculpture on the wall and in the center of the room, standing on a pedestal, is a humorous statue of what could be a humanoid type alien.

Leila: Otto. Otto stop. You said you had something to tell me.

Leila: Otto? Otto!

Otto: Huh?

Leila: What did you want to tell me?

Otto: Oh! Take off your clothes.

Leila: I'm at work, Otto!

Otto: Oh yeah? Me too.

Leila: Your work is different than mine.

Otto: Says who?

Otto takes down his pants (according to the filmmakers, Estevez enjoyed doing this on a regular basis. Maybe they were just joking?).

Leila: What are you doing.? Don't do that.

[Otto: Well the least you could do is give me a blow job.

Leila slaps Otto

Otto: Heh, I guess that means no.]

Deadra: Leila? We have a cell meeting in two minutes time.

Leila: Thanks Deadra. I'll be right there.

Bud: See that motherfucker (melonfarmer) only thinks I don't know what's going on, Lite. As soon as I find that Chevy I'm going indy. I'm going to buy myself a tow truck, a couple of pitbulls, and run a yard. Sit around and watch everybody else do the work for a while (change).

Lite lights up a roach.

Lite: No way you can do that on twenty grand man.

Bud: The hell I can as long as you have good credit and my credit is spotless.
(Bud: The hell I can't, as long as your credit record's good and mine is spotless.)

Lite: If I find the Malibu, you won't see me for dust, I'm going to move to Mendecino County, raise me a bumper crop of tomato plants.

Bud: Credit is a sacred trust. It's what our free society is founded on. You think they give a damn about their bills in Russia? I said do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia?

Otto: They don't pay bills in Russia. It's all free.

Bud: All free? Free my ass, what are you a fucking (flippin) commie? Huh?

Otto: No I ain't no commie.

Bud: Well you'd better not be I don't want any commies in my car. No Christians either.

The pumps at the gas station say "Pace Gas". Next to the pump is a campaign poster for Harry Pace, running for City Council. These posters appear elsewhere in the film. In his posters, Harry Pace has a happy face.

Kevin: I'll deal with you later. I've got a customer to attend to. You too.

Kevin walks over to Malibu.

Kevin: Hi! I'm Kevin. Vacuum sir?

Kevin: Need a vacuum sir?

Kevin: Lorna Doones? I love Lorna Doones.

Parnell walks off screen and we hear puking sounds.

Kevin: Oh hey! You want me to check the trunk? Scuze me.

Lagarto and Napoleon pull up in a car one other side of pumps. Latino music plays on their car radio.

Kevin: Hi! I'm Kevin!

Napoleon: Hey buddy! How you doing? Huh? Hey don't you remember me? I was here yesterday. Heh. Listen I think I left a book of matches over in your office over there. You want to go and check for me huh?

Kevin: Sure thing.

Napoleon: Hey thanks a lot buddy.

Kevin: Any thing for you babes.

Napoleon: All right, you're beautiful. I love you.

Kevin: I'll be right back.

Lagarto gets in the Malibu and both cars drive off. Kevin returns from inside and sees both cars gone. Two other attendants sit at a table and also look; the attendant on the right appears to be director Alex Cox.

Kevin: What??

Shot of car driving down freeway, passed by several motorcycles.

Otto: It's really very simple Mrs. Parks. You don't want me to take your car and I don't want to take your car. Now I said to the boss I said ah Look! I do not want to repossess this lady’s car.

Sound of motorcycles pulling up outside of house.

Mrs. Parks: Well I've been in the hospital you see.

Otto: Yeah, Yes I understand. My job is really on the line over this one. I could lose it right away.

Mrs. Parks: I'll see if I can borrow some money from somewhere.

Otto: That's terrific. Really terrific.

Mrs. Park's son and his fellow band members enter

Mrs. Parks: Oh how was the rehearsal son?

Mrs. Parks' son: It was O.K. Who's this?

Mrs. Parks: Oh this is Mr. Otto. He's from the finance company. He's been telling me that he isn't going to take the car this time, even though he could.

Otto: Well, uh, gotta get going here.

Otto fumbles nervously with his briefcase trying to close it.

Mrs. Parks: Did you like the tea?

Otto: The tea?

Mrs. Parks: Uh huh?

Otto: Yeah, it was terrific.

Otto: Thank you

Mrs. Parks: You're welcome.

Otto: Uh excuse me.

Otto walks outside and gets in car. From outside we hear Mrs. Parks yelling at her son.
