WE'LL HAVE TO CHANGE IN COVENTRY.

COVENTRY?

HA HA.

WHAT'S FUNNY?

THE LAST TIME I SAW COVENTRY, IT WAS ON FIRE.

I WONDER IF IT'S STILL BURNING.

[SOUND OF PEOPLE SCREAMING, HORSES NEIGHING, SIREN BLARING] GERMAN: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

SLOW DOWN.

[GRUNTS] I SAID, SLOW DOWN!

♪ WHAT HAPPENED?

SHE WON'T LET ME NEAR HIM.

I'VE LAID EVERYTHING OUT ON A PLATE FOR HER, AND SHE--SHE... YOU'RE A BUSINESSMAN, MR. GILLESPIE.

AND THIS ISN'T BUSINESS.

THIS INVOLVES A CHILD.

SO WHAT DO I DO?

JUST GIVE HER TIME.

I'M NOT A PATIENT MAN.

♪ RUN.

RUN, RUN!

♪ GIVE IT TO ME.

STAY--STAY THERE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SHOOT ME, SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL GIVE ME THE GUN.
