JAKE
So what?

He hands over the cash.
AGENT
Is it a deal?
JAKE
Yeah, sure it's a deal.
ELWOOD
Yeah, yeah, sure.. . sure it's a deal. Ah listen all
these cops out here, they're sorta waiting for us. We gotta get outta here
without nobody seeing us. Do you know a back door outta this place?
AGENT
Sure. I used to be head bouncer here back in the 70's.
There's an electrical service duct right behind your drummers riser.
JAKE

to Rays Music Exchange in Calumed city. Give the rest to the band.

Bye.
Jake and Elwood crawl on to the stage and get into the service duct. Jake gets Willies attention.

IN THE AUDIENCE
TROOPER DANIEL
Something's wrong.
MR. MERCER
Where's Jake?
TUCKER
(to Good Ole Boys)
Where'd those Blues Brothers go?
IN THE SEWER
ELWOOD
I sure hope this thing leads some place.
JAKE
Elwood. We're gone man.
The "Mystery Woman" loosens off a round of machine gun fire. They hit the ground.
ELWOOD
Who is that girl?
WOMAN
Well Jake. You like just fine down there, slithering
in the mud like vermin.
JAKE
(to Elwood)
No problem.
WOMAN
You're not gonna get away from me this time.
She fires again... still missing them.
IN THE BALLROOM
Mr. Mercer hears the gunshots.
MR. MERCER
(to officers)
Check that out. Let's go. Come on.
BACK IN THE SEWER
JAKE
(to Woman)
It's good to see you sweetheart.
WOMAN
You contemptible pig. I remained celibate for you. I
stood at the back of a cathedral, waiting in celibacy for you, with 300 friends
and relatives in attendance. My uncle hired the best Romanian caterer in the
state. To obtain the seven limousines for the wedding party my father used up
his last favors with Mad Pete Trollo. So for me, for my mother, my grandmother,
my father, my uncle and for the common good, I must now kill you and your
brother.
Jake gets up and slowly walks towards her.
JAKE
(falling to his knees before her)
Oh please don't kill us. Please, please don't kill us.
You know I love ya baby, I wouldn't leave ya. It wasn't my fault.
WOMEN
You miserable slug. You think you can talk you're way
out of this? You betrayed me.
JAKE
No, I didn't. Honest. I ran outta gas. I had a flat
tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the
cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There
was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locust's. It wasn't my fault!! I swear to
God!!
WOMAN
Oh Jake, Jake, honey.
Jake embraces her in a passionate kiss, then drops her in the mud.
JAKE
(to Elwood)
Let's go.
ELWOOD
(to the Woman)
Take it easy.
They run down the passage to the car. She follows in the distance.
ELWOOD
It's a 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of
gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
JAKE
Hit it!
The Woman runs out of the duct and fires at the moving car. The policemen above hear the shots and also start shooting at the car.
THE GREAT CAR CHASE
Jake and Elwood are in front in their car. About 50 or so squad cars and the Good Ole Boys Winnebago is following.
IN THE WINNEBAGO
BOB
Shit man! Can't this damm thing go any faster than
this?
TUCKER
Ah, Bob, I think I got a little problem.
BOB
Goddamn boy!
They accelerate past all cars including Jake and Elwoods.
TUCKER
Shit!
ALL
Argh!!!
The van drives off the highway, through a shed and into the water.
TUCKER
(to Bob)
Don't you say a fucking word.

Daly plaza.
JAKE
That's were they got that Picasso.
ELWOOD
Yep.
They drive on, being chased by Chicago squad cars. Elwood swerves to
miss a car, the squad cars don't and all crash into one another.

ELWOOD
Yep.
They drive up a bridge through the smoke coming from their motor. One of the Nazi cars stop at the head of the bridge.
NAZI LEADER
Faster!
At the last minute they see the end of an unfinished bridge. Elwood stops the car and then it backflips over the chasing Nazi car.
NAZI
Holy shit!
The Nazi car continues to accelerate and launches off the bridge.
NAZI
I've always loved you.
They crash into the street making a big hole. Jake and Elwood's car jumps the hole, the pursuing Nazi car falls into it.

There it is.
JAKE
(hitting Elwood)
Come on!
RICHARD J. DALEY PLAZA
They enter the building, close the doors and pile furniture in front
of them. They then run up to an information counter.
ELWOOD
(to an officer at the information desk)
Sir. Where's the Office of the Assessor of Cook
County?
OFFICER
Down the hall, turn right, take the elevator to 1102.
ELWOOD
Thank you sir.
Jake and Elwood race off. Outside thousands of people are trying to get in. Jake and Elwood enter the elevator. A squad of people eventually get into the building and race up to the information desk.
SQUAD LEADER
Excuse me, did you see two guys come in here, black
suits black hats one carrying a briefcase?
OFFICER
Yeah, I just sent them down there.
SQUAD LEADER
Thank you.
The squad races towards the elevator and then up the stairs.
Jake and Elwood make it to the right floor.
ELWOOD
Hold the door.
Jake steps in front of the door. Elwood destroys the elevators controls.
ELWOOD
Let's go.
They make their way towards the officer. Stacking furniture in front of each door. They arrive at the office to a sign "Back in five minutes". They wait until someone in the office approaches them.
ASSESSOR
May I help you?
JAKE
This is where they pay the taxes, right?
ASSESSOR
Right.
ELWOOD
This money is for the years assessment on the St.
Helen of the Blessed Shroud orphanage in Calumed city, Illinois.
JAKE
5000 bucks, it's all there pal.
The squad approaches the right floor but the door is blocked.
OFFICER
Stand back... fire!
They open fire on the door.
ASSESSOR
And here is your receipt.
The squad catches up with Jake and Elwood and cuff them.
