Getting What You Want
by stanton film
Manni calls Lola in phone booth, scolding her for not being at the bus stop to pick him up. Because she wasn't there, he got on the train but then ran out because he saw police and left the money. The homeless guy found the money and took it. Now Manni has to find money in order to pay off his boss. Lola promises she will find the money by 12:00 so he does not rob the store. She begins her run, going first to her dad's bank. She walks in on him having a deep conversation with his assumed mistress and is shocked. He refuses to pay, escorts her out, and tells her that she is not his child. She does not make it in time so Manni robs the store, she joins him, they get caught, and she is shot. In the flashback, she wants to know if Manni will move on from their love if she ever dies. Manni claims he won't. Rewind to her hanging up the phone at the beginning of the film, she begins her second run. She runs to her father yet again, but this time holds him at gunpoint and robs the bank when he does not cooperate. She has the money, gets past the cops, and makes it to Manni. He starts running towards her and is hit by the ambulance rushing by. It flashes back and he wants to know if Lola will move on if he ever dies, she promises that she will not. Then it rewinds to the phone hanging up again, and she starts her third run. She runs to the bank but sees her father leaving before she can get there so she decides to go gambling. During this time, the homeless man with the money rides past, with the bike that he bought from, the man on the bike that Lola had run by in all 3 stories. Manni chases after him. Lola wins the money and Manni gets the money back, in exchange for his gun, and everyone lives happily ever after. On her way to meet Manni, Lola sneaks into the ambulance and realize it is her father about to die, from a car accident in the car that she ran by in all 3 stories, so she takes his hand and magically heals him.
