Hey! Aah!
I got those concert tickets you wanted.
[CHUCKLING] Oh, you're kidding.
For Friday night? Stanley, this is great.
So, what time should I pick you up?
Well, see, here's the thing.
My very best friend just came into town and I know she would die to go to this.
So could we maybe get an extra ticket for her?
Ooh.
They're out. They're sold out. That means there's no more.
Oh.
Well, I just can't let her sit home all alone.
Look, I'll tell you what. Why don't you just go with your friend?
[LAUGHS]
Stanley, I couldn't do that.
No, come on.
[GIGGLES]
Stanley, you are the nicest guy.
-Ahh. -Really, you are.
-Yeah? -Charlie...
...isn't Stanley the nicest guy?
The best.
[CHUCKLES]
[GROANS]
That was the most sickening display I've ever seen.
I disagree. I think I'm wearing her down.
Buddy, you know what you need? You need a little change of pace.
Tonight, I'm gonna take you on a love safari...
...deep into the darkest heart of the urban jungle.
Tell me more, bwana.
The Coco Bongo Club. Hottest new joint in town.
Only the crème de la crème need apply.
-So how do we get in? -Are you kidding?
-Leave it to me. Trust me, buddy... -Yeah.
...this is going to be the perfect night on the town.

TINA: Where can I open a new account?
New accounts, right here.
You're lucky you caught me, I was on my way out to--
-Could you hold this for me, please? -I will hold anything you want.
Thank you.
Can you help me?
[SNIFFS]
[EXHALES]
[DRAWER CREAKING]
[DRAWER BANGS LOUDLY]
So.
What kind of account do you have in mind?
I'm not sure exactly.
You see, I'm just terrible with things like that.
-That's an interesting tie, Mr...? -Ipkiss, Stanley Ipkiss.
-Tina Carlyle. Pleased to meet you. -The pleasure's all mine.
May I?
-May you what? -I'm such a mess.
-Oh, of course. -Thanks.
That's what they're there for.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
As I was saying about that tie, it kind of reminds me of one of those--
What do you call it? Um, inkblot tests.
-A Rorschach test. -Right.
You know, it sort of looks like...
...a young woman riding bareback.
Sort of a Lady Godiva or something.
Of course.
What do you see, Mr. Ipkiss?
Um--
I-- I don't know.
[WHISTLES THEN LAUGHS]
Oh, oh.
Uh-- It-- Bright colors.
It's-- It's a power tie. It's supposed to make you feel powerful.
Does it work?
Now, how about that account, huh?
We have several different plans. Savings.
[SHARPENER WHIRRING]
Checking.
Savings and checking, CDs, savings and CDs, checking and CDs...
...savings, checking and CDs, T-bills.
Or we could just take all your money and throw it in a big mattress back there.
[BOTH LAUGH]

[AIR HOCKEY PUCK CLACKING]
[MAN 1 LAUGHS]
MAN 2: That's it, sweetheart.
Now, just a little bit to the right. Beautiful.
Hey, will you guys keep it down back there?
No problem.
-So, what do you think? -Layout's not bad.
But them motion detectors are a pain in the ass.
-But you can pull this off, right? -Hey, you talking to the doctor.
I do have one question.
Which is?
What does Niko have to say about all this?
Nothing.
This ain't his grift, man.
Get real, man. Everything is his grift.
He owns you, he owns this club, he owns this whole stinking town.
Things change.
You mess with Niko, you end up taking a dirt nap.
DORIAN: He's the only one who's napping.
And I'm about to give him a serious wake-up call.
But we need some cash.
So first we take the bank, then we take Niko...
...and then, my friend, school is out.
And this whole city is our playground.

[BOTH LAUGH]
Now, what can I do for you, bub?
I'm here for the Civic.
The brake drums are shot, and you need a new transmission.
What?
All I wanted was an oil change.
You're lucky you caught these problems before they cause you some serious trouble.
Ahem. Sign right here and press down hard.
-There's no price. -There will be.

Yo, Bobby. How you doing, buddy? It's Charlie.
-Charlie, how you doing? -How are you?

-Come on in. -Hey, good to see you. Okay, then.
Come on, gals, let's get going.
See you on the inside. Oh!
Bobby? Charlie. Charlie!
Charlie!
-It's a mistake. -You can't do that.
-Hey, hey. -Whoa!
You crossed the rope. Never cross the rope.
But my friends are on the inside--
-Lose him. STANLEY: Come on now, guys.
Now this isn't fair. Hey, watch it, I'm a bleeder.
You put me down right now, or I am never coming back here.
[GRUNTS AND GROANS]

I just-- I never felt better, really.
I'm just catching some air out here. Whew.

All right, Mrs. Peenman.
So, Dr. Neuman, you're saying that everybody wears a mask?
That's correct, Wendy.
We all wear masks, metaphorically speaking.
We suppress the id, our darkest desires...

Well, the book is, of course...

Lieutenant Kellaway, City Precinct.
Do you know anything about the disturbance last night?

Yeah, some kind of prowler broke in and attacked Mrs. Peenman.
[SOFTLY] Attacked?
You didn't hear anything?
She unloaded a couple of rounds of 20-ought buckshot...
...five feet from your door.
PEENMAN: Look at the floor. See that?
He put that right in my floor, then he jumped out the window, officer!

Those pajamas are impossible. This actually happened.
See, I have an inner-ear problem.

No, and you can quote me.
Well, it looks like some sort of mob tactic.
There it is, boys. She broke the case.
Come on, get these rubbernecks out of here.
-Let's go. WOMAN: Wait, there's no--
MAN: Officer, please-- WOMAN: Can you tell us, sir, please?
Hey, Stan. Stan, Stan. Where were you last night?
The girls and I were looking all over for you.
Did you happen to look outside in the gutter?
Hey, did you check the morning paper?
Your girlfriend got a great review.
Ipkiss, you're 40 minutes late. Now, that's the same as stealing.
I'm sorry, Mr. Dickey. It'll never happen again.
I've been a jerk.
Well, if you weren't busy ogling girlie pictures...
...you might actually get some work done around here.
Uh-- Sir, she's a prospective client of Stanley's.
Oh, really?
Well.
The next time she comes in, you be sure to send her to my office.
Ho-ho.
You betcha.
[SIGHS]
Gee, I wish my daddy owned a bank.
Then I could be a rich little creep too. Heh-heh.
You think she'll ever come back, Charlie?
Oh, man, forget her.
Stanley, listen to me.
A girl like that is always looking for the BBD:
The bigger, better deal.
You don't know that, Charlie. She's an artist.
She's-- She's sensitive.
Stanley, forget her. That girl will tear out your heart...
...put it in a blender and hit "frappé."
You don't need her, man. You need somebody a little more down-to-earth...
...somebody with some integrity, somebody with--
Red hair and full pouting lips...
...a white blouse, a green jacket and a name tag.
Boy, you really narrowed it down.
[WHISPERING] Too bad she's already taken.
[NORMAL VOICE] Hello there. May I be of some assistance?
Stanley Ipkiss?
Oh, hi.
I'm Peggy Brandt from The Tribune.
Oh, hi.
Look, I canceled my subscription because they kept stealing my paper from--
Oh, no. Actually, I just wanna ask you a few questions.
Really? About what?
Ripley Auto Finishing. You're a customer of theirs, aren't you?
Me? No. I don't even have a car.
You know, because they pollute.
You don't own an '89 Civic?
Oh, that car, yeah. Mm-hm. Uh--
Yeah.
It's all coming back to me.
Miss-- What'd you say your name was?
Peggy Brandt.
Wait a minute. Peggy Brandt?
Of "Ask Peggy"?
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah, that's right.
You printed one of my letters last year.
Remember? "Nice guys finish last."
-You're Mr. Nice Guy? -Yes.
Oh, Stanley.
Do you realize how much mail we got about that letter?
There are literally hundreds of women out there looking for a guy just like you.
-Really? -Yeah.
Do you know how hard it is to find a decent man in this town?
Most of them think monogamy is some kind of wood.
Ah-ha.
So why are you covering this story?
Because "Dear Peggy" pays dick. I'm starving to death.
I'm looking to become a real reporter.
Look, Stanley, when you were at Ripley Auto...
...did you see anything suspicious? Anything at all?
I won't make trouble for you. I just want the truth.
God, I wish I knew the truth, you know? I really do.
[SIGHS]
No.
Well, if you think of anything, this is my number.
This is my, you know, personal number.
You really think women are looking for a guy like me?

He robs the bank you work in and then I find this in the Coco Bongo.
There can't be two idiots with pajamas like these.

I don't know, boss, that's one hell of a rubber mask.

We got fingerprints on some of the currency...

Get the bank employee files and run the prints on a guy named Ipkiss.

Oh, no. I'm not losing anything. Except maybe some extra baggage around here.

Back off, monkey boy, before I tell your daddy you're running this place...

Or maybe we should call the IRS...
...and see if we can arrange a little vacation for you at Club Fed!
That'll be all, Ipkiss.

Genius. That was genius. Buddy, I have chills.
God. What side of whose bed did you wake up on, man?
I'm not sure.
I haven't exactly been myself lately.
Well, you don't look real fabulous, Stan.

Ah. Not to worry. This will put the color back in your cheeks, my friend.

Wanna be my date?
I don't know, Charlie, I--
Wait just a minute.
-Tina, what are you doing here? -I just wanted to thank you...
...but I'm not sure if I'm gonna have much to open an account with anymore.
Well, what about the club? I thought you were doing great.
Look, it's not your problem. I'll be okay.
Tina, come here.
You didn't stop by just to see me, did you?

It's okay, tell me.
-The guy they say robbed this place-- -The Mask?
I think he was at the club last night.
Really? They say he's pretty...
...weird-looking.
Yeah, but you ought to see him dance.
So did anyone find out who he is?
Why, are you interested?
Just curious, I guess.
Well, I better be going.
Thanks for everything, Stanley.
You'd like to see him again, wouldn't you?
I, um, wouldn't mind.
I know him, you know.
You do?
We're old college buddies, him and me.
[EXHALES]
It's funny you should mention the way he dances because...
...I taught him a couple of dance moves myself.
Do you think you could have him meet me tonight?
I might be able to work something out.
-How about at Landfill Park? -Okay. Sunset?
-Perfect. -Super.
Thanks, Stanley. You really are a nice guy.
This is an interesting piece, Mr. Ipkiss.
Looks like fourth- or fifth-century Scandinavian.
Possibly a representation of one of the Norse night gods.
Maybe Loki.
Loki?
Who's Loki?
The Norse god of mischief.
Supposedly, he caused so much trouble...
...that Odin banished him from Valhalla forever.
Then he could've banished him into that mask.
I'm talking about mythology, Mr. Ipkiss. This is a piece of wood.
But your book.
My book is about masks as metaphor, Mr. Ipkiss.
A metaphor. Not to be taken literally. You're suffering from mild delusion.
Oh.
All right.
I'm gonna prove it to you.
But I am not responsible for the consequences.
Just sit back and enjoy the ride, Mr. Expert.
You don't scare me, Mr. Ipkiss. Go right ahead.
See you.
[GROWLS]
[SPEAKING IN GIBBERISH]
[WHINING]
Okay. You said Loki was a night god. Maybe it only works at night.
Mr. Ipkiss, I feel I should warn you...
...that I don't work personally with really sick people.
There are private institutions for things like that.
However, if you would like me to arrange for a safe environment for you tonight...
...I can do that.
No.
I've gotta see Tina.
But what do I do? I mean, do I go as myself or the Mask?
If I tell you, you promise to leave my office right now?
Mm-hm.
All right.
Mr. Ipkiss, go as yourself and as the Mask...
...because they are both one and the same beautiful person.
WOMAN [OVER RADIO]: Got the cross-check on the fingerprints.
It's Ipkiss, all right.
I'm looking at him. Just keep the SWAT team standing by.
If this guy's half as bad as he's supposed to be, we're gonna have a full dance card.
DOYLE: Do you have the relish? -Doyle, get in the car.
-But I ordered onion rings. -Doyle.
[SNIFFLES]
[SIGHS]
No, no.
Stanley, what are you doing here?
Tina, hi. Uh....
I just wanted to come by and make sure that you two got together all right.
That's nice. You know, I hardly ever stop by here.
It's kind of hard to believe it was just a garbage heap.
Yeah, it's-- It's--
It's really beautiful right around sunset.
The methane emissions really pick up the colors.
Wow. All those pinks and greens.
Uh....
My friend will be along here any minute. I better go.
Stanley, wait. Stanley. Stanley.
[THUNDER CRASHING]
[GASPS]
[IN FRENCH ACCENT] Hello, chérie. We meet again.
Is it fate? Is it meant to be?
Is it written in the stars that we are destined to fraternize?
I'd like to think so. Ha-ha-ha.
Kiss me, my dear, and I will reveal my croissant.
I will spread your pâté. I will dip my ladle in your vichyssoise.
-Uhn! -Whoa!
[IN CARTOON VOICE] She is so coy.
[IN TOUGH-GUY VOICE] I love it.
[STUTTERING LIKE PORKY PIG]
[IN FRENCH ACCENT] Our love is like a red, red rose...
...and I am a little thorny.
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
Je t'adore, je te window, I don't care.
[THE MASK LAUGHING]
This is Kellaway. I need backup, and I need it now.
Cigarette? No?
Now, like Napoleon, I will divide and conquer.
[GUN COCKS]
Ipkiss, police.
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
KELLAWAY: Freeze!
Put your hands up.
[THROUGH CLENCHED TEETH] But you told me to freeze.
All right, all right, unfreeze.
You're under arrest.
No, it wasn't me. It was the one-armed man.
All right, I confess.
I did it, you hear? And I'm glad. Glad, I tell you.
[VOICE BREAKING] What are they gonna do to me, sarge?
[SOBBING] What are they gonna do?
Sorry, son, that's not my department.
Search him.
Ow!
Where's a camcorder when you need one?
[SNORTING]
Well, looks like it's gonna be a long night.
-My wife's gonna kill me. -What is it?
Cops got your pal Ipkiss staked out at Landfill Park.
Let me cover it. I really need this story. And then you can go home to Claire.
Oh, I don't know, Peggy. Ramsey said--
Wo-oh! I will take care of Ramsey. Thanks a million. I owe you one.
DOYLE: Really big sunglasses.
Bike horn.
-Small-mouth bass. THE MASK: Wow.
DOYLE: Bowling pin.
Ah-ah-ah. Aah!
-Mousetrap. COP: Rubber chicken.
Little to the left. That's it.
-I don't know. COP: Funny eyeball glasses.
I've never seen those before in my life.
-Bazooka. -I have a permit for that.
-Picture of Kellaway's wife. -What?
Uh-oh.
Margaret! You son of a bitch.
Jeez, I figured you had a sense of humor. After all, you married her.
[SCREAMS]
That's gotta hurt.
Get him.

I missed him.
Come on. We all missed him.
PEGGY: I saw it.
I saw everything.
What's happening to you, Stanley?
It's crazy.
[SIGHS]
I'm losing control.
When I put that mask on, I can do anything.
Be anything.
But it's wrecking my life.
My life is wrecked. Wrecked.
Wrecked.
Look, I don't know what's happening to you, Stanley.
But I do know this.
That letter that you sent my column.
That was from a guy with more guts...
...and more heart...
...than any of the creeps that I've met in this city.
Whatever that mask is...
...you don't need it.
You...
...Stanley Ipkiss...
...are already all you'll ever need to be.
Gosh, Peg.
Do you really mean that?
Actually, no.
What?
[GATE THUDS]
What took you guys so long? I've been vamping here for 20 minutes.
-Is this him? -You got the 50 thou?
Give her the money.
Right.
When he puts on the mask, he turns into that green thing.
Peggy.
What are you doing?
Sorry, Stanley. You really are a great guy, I just can't lose my condo.
You know how hard it is to find an apartment in this city.
Huh.
You said you wouldn't hurt him.
[MACHINE WHIRRING]
I lied.
Stanley!
What--? Hey. Hey!
[YELLING]
Tell me, how does this mask work?
I don't know. You just...

You'd better be careful, huh?

Hardened cops dancing in the street and broadcast all over the 11:00 news.
The SWAT team got an offer to open in Vegas.
I'm history. The captain's gonna have my badge for breakfast...
...with a little pension on top.
Come on, Lieutenant, it's not all your fault. Something will turn up.
Sure, Stanley Ipkiss is gonna fall right into my lap.

You got a visitor.
Tina.
Hello, Stanley.
-What are you doing here? -Is it true?
You're the Mask.
Yeah, but don't tell anybody.
If I get a good lawyer and strike up a deal, I can be out of here in about 10,000 years.
You're taking a chance coming here. Your boyfriend might be a little upset.
He's going to the charity ball tonight. He's gonna do something terrible.
Like what? The lambada?
Stanley, this is serious. There's gotta be a way to stop him.
How does it work?
I don't know.
It's like....
It's like it brings your innermost desires to life.
If deep down inside, you're...
...a little repressed and a hopeless romantic...
...you become some sort of a love-crazy wild man.
And if you're somebody like Dorian?
Then we're all in big trouble.
And if I were you, I'd get out of town. Fast.
Thanks.
-For what? -Lots of things.
For sharing a sunset with me.
For being the only guy who treated me like a person...
...and not some sort of party favor.
For being any kind of romantic.
Even a hopeless one.
[SIGHS]
You're welcome.
You know that night at the club?
I knew I'd found someone special.
-The Mask. -No.
It was the guy inside the mask. It was you all along.
You. Stanley Ipkiss.
COP: Okay, lady, time's up.
Could I have just one more minute?
I've gotta disappear for a while now, Stanley.
I don't know where I'm gonna go, but I'll let you know as soon as I can.

-You have a nice talk with the cops? -I went to see what Ipkiss told them.
Oh, that's right, you and Stanley, right? You two are getting awfully close.
Maybe it was you who helped him with the bank job.
-That's ridiculous. -Oh, is it?
Look what I found in her car.
Heh.
You planning a trip without me, baby?
-No, Dorian. -No?
Boys, I want you...
...to pick her out something pretty to wear, okay?
Because we're gonna go to a party tonight.
We're gonna have one hell of a time.

There is no way you're walking out of here like this.
You know, you're right.
-You're absolutely right. -What the hell are you doing?
You're gonna take me out as your prisoner.
Put it on. Put it on!
Ow. Come on.
-I'm really very sorry about this. -I'm sure.

A kiss?
Just one last kiss.
Dorian, I can't shut this thing off.
There's always time...

No!
