One more word out of you

I'll squash your Adam's apple
like a goddamn grape.

Well, I didn't even think

you were breathing there
for a while.

What you in for,
blabbermouth?

I turned over a couple
of liquor stores.

Kill anybody?

Nope.

But in the last one,
the clerk fainted.

The guy fainted?

Hell, you ain't even dangerous.

I've been dangerous
since I was 14.

How old are you?

I don't know.

They lost the records.

By the time they lost my record,
I killed eight guys at least.

They're just now
finding out about it.

Wait till they see
what I done lately.

What have you done lately?

I killed a lot of guys
in my mind.

That's why
I'm still dangerous.

You gotta keep that in you.

Or you'll fall asleep..

...and when the morning comes,
somebody's broke in your pants

and stole your heat.

You're pretty tough, kid.

But you ain't very
dangerous yet.

- Yeah.

You got any to spare?

We don't offer nothing
we can't spare.

'Veldini going for his
fifth crash of the day.'

'He's heading for
Duval Jax, number 76.'

'He is closing in,
he's got him.'

'Six and one half seconds.'

'But, Oh-oh, here
comes Tooey Mendoza'

'and look out, you're
in trouble now, Veldini.'

'Jesse Veldini, you've shown
a dangerous disregard'

'for society's standards'

'by continually flaunting
the authority of this court'

'as well as by breaking
the laws of this state.'

'Your contempt for property,
especially someone else's'

'is reflected in your crimes'

'as well as your choice of more
legitimate profession, to wit'

'destroying automobiles
in demolition derbies.'

'The need to steal in order
to support your compulsion'

'to crash cars in such events'

'has brought you once again
before this bench.'

'Apparently, you
haven't learned much'

'from your previous
experiences here.'

'It is therefore my duty and
responsibility to remand you'

'to the state men's correctional
facility at Red Wing'

'for a period of not more
than six years'

'nor less than 18 months.'

Was a weapon used
in the robbery?

- Yes. Yes, there was.

What'd you think
of the game last night?

Was a good one.

The associate warden called.

Your brother's getting
out around 11:30.

You want to meet him?

- Have him come to my office.

Bill, this is not a master
criminal we're dealing with.

'I know that, Frank.'

I don't wanna
make this official.

But you might check to see
who does meet him though.

Anyway, what've you got
on Eagle Thornberry?

Not much.

He's been in a nuthouse
up in Millikin

for the last couple of months.

'I'm glad somebody
finally locked him up.'

'
- 'Yeah, I'm sure it's today.'

Want me to sign you out
on a checkout list?

Yeah, yeah, I'd
appreciate that.

When should I say
you'll be back?

I don't know.
What do you usually put?

- At the right time.
- That's good, put that.

'Take care of yourself, Rocky.'

I'll be back
at the right time.

'Committed himself.
Circus cut him loose.'

'Guess he had
nowhere else to go.'

Well, tell them not to release
him without notifying us.

'Well, these voluntary
commitments'

'can pretty much come
and go as they please.'

'Well, however he comes
and goes, it'll be dramatic.'

'Now, don 't worry, Frank,
he seems harmless enough.'

'Not when he's
with my brother.'

What you gonna do about
your little brother?

- Yeah, he's still there.

Try again in a couple of hours.

'Think Thornberry or one of 'em
might've got in touch with him?'

'Come on, Bill, he's gotta know
Veldini's getting out.'

Why don't you just call him,
tell him to sit tight?

He doesn't listen
to reason.

Picked that up
from Veldini.

- Thinks it's smart.
- Forget him, then.

Well, somebody's
gotta look out for him.

'If I let the kid
connect with Veldini'

'he's gotta end up in trouble.'

'Christ, one turkey's
enough for any family.'

'Yeah.'

How do you want me
to handle Iris Caine?

I'll take care of her.
She'll be alright.

How can you trust a hooker?

Look, I got her bag now.
She owes me.

If I help Frank keep Veldini
straight, I'm off the hook.

Where does that leave
Veldini, then?

Out on the street.
For a while, anyway.

Come on, Frank's a cop.

Can take care of him,
he used to be a John.

Was he any good?

I cut him off when I found out
he's Veldini's brother.

She's coming up in the world.
She might forget.

She won't forget. I can pull
her protection anytime.

'
- No.

I think I got him
covered now.

Ready, Veldini?

* One is a driver

* He stays alive

* Than the people he sees

* The men finally freed him

* To show them
how it's gonna be *

'Oh, savage.
Oh, oh...yes'

'Oh, you're so savage.'

Hey, hey, get the hell
out of here.

- Get the hell out.

'Take it easy, fella.'

What are you,
some kind of crazy guy?

Alright, fella,
this is a stick up.

Put your thing on the table,
put your hands up in the air

and get over there
against the wall. Lady..

Don't come any closer,
you hoodlum.

Get your valuables
out onto the bed.

Quick. Up against the wall.
Press yourself against the wall.

There, I got my gun pressed
into your back like that.

You feel it? Make a move
and you'll get killed.

Okay, lady. Prepare to part
with your valuables.

You could've waited
five minutes.

With him, even 30 seconds
would've done it.

I been gone two years.
Is that all you can say?

'Goddamn it, Veldini,
that's the fire commissioner.'

'He's the best customer
I've got.'

'Seen Duval lately?'

'Yeah, he's got a place--'

Alright, buddy,
raise them high.

Iris, call the police.

Uh, Iris, don't call the police.

Keep them right up there, buddy.
No quick movements.

Keep your hands above your head,
you son of a bitch

or you're gonna
look like that mirror.

Ha!

Iris, you really get
some savages in here.

Veldini, are they
after you again?

No, not yet.
They just let me out.

For good?

- Yeah. Maybe.

They let me out
for good last time.

Sometimes they lie.

What are you covered up
like that for?

Who do you think
I am, Veldini?

You pull a dumb stunt
and come back after two years

and think I'll leap
into bed with you?

- I'm not starting again.

Better than being poor.

What would happen
if I just took you?

You'd owe me $100.

You're crazy. It was 20
when I left. Nobody pays 100.

Want to see the list?

- Just get out of here, Veldini.

- My God, he's waking up.

Okay, just go away, please.
I don't wanna see you.

- 'On Saturday. Now, go on.'

Just get out of here.

'Francis, I'm so scared.'

Oh..

- Okay.

Okay.

She treated me like
I was a bum, Eagle.

Well, look at your
neighborhood.

I'm a demolition-derby driver.

Weren't no flies on me before.

Maybe she still feels
for you, but..

...she's got something
to lose now.

Hanging around with you would
not be smart for her career.

Hundred dollars.

It's safe and steady
and she's not getting younger.

She acted like I didn't
count for nothing.

I'll lay you odds,
she'll come around.

Well, that better be good odds.

- Better. I forgot to go.

Did you see the cherry
'53 Merc over here?

No. Yeah?

Yeah?

'Remember when I creamed
Charlie Ruffudo'

in that yellow '53?

Yeah.

You drove the candy-mauve Dodge.
You should've been there.

Spectacular crash.

Had a sort of
a Peach Melba feeling.

You're not gonna start that
demolition

What do you expect me
to do, kid? One car left.

You're just gonna
use up all your money

and gonna have to stick
some guy again.

One car, that's all,
a '50 Stude.

When I get that

I'll have demolished every
American car ever built

between 1940 and 1960.

Not many guys
can say that, kid.

Not many guys have been
in jail three times either.

I can name you loads. What do
you want me to do, drive a bus?

Want me to call Frank and tell
him you'll be a little late?

- Nope.

He's your brother too.

You know I'd just get
into a hassle with him.

I got a battery
I gotta recharge.

Hey, Veldini.

Look, take it easy in there.

You don't have to win everything
the first time, see?

Something's gonna come up,
something always does.

Eagle, I got it all
under control.

I'm gonna tell him
my future plans.

I'm gonna smile a lot.

I got it all covered.

It's good to see you
again, Jesse.

- Sit down.
- No, thanks, Frank.

I've been sitting ever since
the last time I saw you.

I wanted to get down and visit
more, but you understand.

Looks like you've been doing
okay in spite of me.

Didn't have no pictures on
the wall last time I was here.

The kid tells me
he read somewhere

you might running
for attorney general?

- Yeah, for a while.

- I guess till he splits.

Well, we'll see.

- Yeah.

'
- Good.

I need to talk over
a couple of things with you.

No.

- Yeah, for a while.

Thought I'd get my old job with
the wrecking crew back first.

Do some straight work
for a while

till I get enough
to open my own pack.

Then you're gonna
see something, Frank.

Not just your average small-time
fender-denting, hell, no.

We're gonna do
real demolition.

And we're not gonna just limit
ourselves to cars, no, sir.

We're gonna
bring in campers.

Tractors.

Dump trucks, school buses.

Grain threshers.
Anything you want.

And then, when we
get going good

then we're bringing in
the best of all.

Mobile homes.

Can't you see those two
mashing into each other?

Goddamn it, Jesse, sit down.

Now, look, Jesse. Listen.

I'm sorry, but
the wrecking job is out.

See, you're not allowed
any access to explosives.

That's for my parole officer
to decide.

I am your parole officer,
and I already got you a job.

See, you'll still have the other
guy back for official purposes

but everything
clears through me.

I didn't want
to do it this way

but neither of us could afford
to have you screw up again.

- That's friendly of you, Frank.
- Well, I had no choice, Jesse.

You broke the law
and if you do it again

you go right back
in the joint forever.

Just try to keep
that in mind.

Well, there's just
really not much to it.

See that iron gate?

Over there on the right.

'Yeah.'

'Well, behind it, there's a
little room with food in it.'

And when that gate opens,
the animal should go in there.

But you'll see that
in just a second.

Now, when that gate closes
and only after that gate closes

now, after that gate is closed,
you're in the clear.

That's the signal
for being in the clear.

Now, important thing
to remember

is to work fast so we
can bring the animals back.

After all, that's what people
come to see, isn't it?

'The animals.'

'There we go.'

Well, that's it.

Here's the key.

Well, you can go in now.

'Come on, Jesse.'

'You heard what the man said.
It's important you do it fast.'

'Okay.'

Yeah, that's right.

- He'll work out just fine.
- I hope so.

Trust me, Mel.

You're lucky to get
this place, you know.

Sure is swell, Frank.

'What do you think?'

- It's great, even has a window.
- 'Yeah.'

There's a shower and
a kitchen down the hall.

Get a vacuum
from the desk.

Why do you keep
this up, Frank?

I mean, you know
I'm not gonna stay here.

It's not bad if you
give it a chance.

- I can always get evicted.
- That'd be stupid.

I'd just get you
the place back again.

I own this building.

Listen, Jesse.

If it's that you don't like
the job, you'll get a better one

as soon as you show me
you can take care of it.

Till then, you start from the
bottom just like the other cons.

Listen, after you worked up
a little bit, well

you can get
your own place.

You hear me, Jesse?

'Now, look, Jesse..'

Stop throwing the goddamn thing,
you're marking up the walls.

Ah!

If I'd two shots,
I wouldn't have missed.

Yeah. But you don't have
two shots, do you?

- Traffic held me up.

Yeah, how much
did they get?

How come Veldini didn't
let me know he's gettin' out?

Because you don't have
an address, Duval.

Hey, hey, I need a beer.

He's alright, ain't he?
He's doing alright?

Look, uh, that's what I came
to talk to you about, pal.

We got a little problem there.

You see, Frank wants to keep
the lid on Veldini real bad

and that's the fastest
way to make him blow.

Yeah, we're used to that.

As long as Iris don't throw too
many hips in Veldini's direction

Frank's gonna stay
happy enough.

That's not gonna do it
this time, Duval.

I got the chaser.

Look, there's more
in Frank's craw

than just getting dumped
out of Iris' bed.

The only way to keep
Veldini out of trouble

is to keep him out of town.

- We convince him.

How you gonna do that?

With your airborne flying home.

Well, that don't
even work yet.

We'll make it work.

- Eagle, you crazier than hell.
- Only when it counts, pal.

Hey.

Airplanes, huh?

These all belong to Duval?

Only if possession is still
nine-tenths of the law.

- Goddamn, good to see you.
- Veldini, good to see you.

How are you?

You did it. Jesus Christ.

Hey, wait. Stay for lunch.

- I can't, I gotta go.
- I got Cold Duck for you. Stay.

Hang a few wires and wings, you
got an aerial act with a twist.

Sure beats living
in a small foreign car.

I figured it was my turn
for a little upward mobility.

So you been spending money on
airplanes and nothing on cars.

You ever realize what you can do
with one of these things?

Man, we could go to London, to
Paris, to Rome, to Pittsburgh.

To all those places.

There's not one
goddamn demolition derby

or ship launching or building
under construction

that we couldn't get to.

'This thing even
lands on water.'

Now, there ain't no car
in that league, pal.

Listen, I'm doing you a favor
working on this plane.

Every time I start
wanting something..

...I end up in trouble.

If...if I start wanting it.

The people who own it are
willing to sell it for $2500.

If we get steady work, we
can make it in three months.

It'll take you longer
to buy your own track.

And it lands on water.

This airplane business
is bound to turn out bad.

The right engine's
almost ready to go.

We need some left engine
and a few instruments

and maybe not even that.

What about the electricity
and all that?

Where's the kid gonna
plug in and play?

We'll make a special
outlet for him.

And then, we get sick of it.

We could always just crash it
into a locomotive or something.

We could even go some place
where there ain't no jails.

- Eagle'd have to be captain.

Well, he don't fly,
for one thing.

I can still radio
the tower and all that.

I could do most
of the wiring.

- 'That's right.'
- Iris could do the decorations.

And you and me can rebuild
that other engine.

What do you say?

Okay.

Let's see how it goes
for a while.

Good.

'You listening to me, Eagle?'

Don't worry, Veldini's
going straight this time.

Not if he needs money
to buy his plane, he's not.

It's not just his, we're all
gonna help pay for it.

What are you
worried about?

How are you gonna do that?
You don't even have a job.

Well, the circus
ain't hiring lately.

Not much call for human flies.

I guess people don't wanna
be entertained anymore.

I got a John that has
an ambulance service.

Doesn't pay
to hire loonies.

I sure as hell wouldn't.

'You could be a driver.'

They get a uniform
for that, don't they?

'Yep.'

You can go fast as hell.

You don't even have
to stop for lights.

Who works the siren?

Sounds like a job
for...the Eagle.

Yeah.

Hm..

I'll take it, Iris.

Everything's gonna be alright.

As long as Veldini doesn't mind
having a plane that's paid for.

He's not against paying
for it if he has the money.

Yeah, he just doesn't like
having money, that's all.

Give him a break, Iris.

You might not have
another chance.

Eagle-e-e.

- I got a doorbell, you know.
- Well, you look terrific, Iris.

You look terrible.
Where have you been?

Was helping a friend
tunnel out of jail.

Why don't you try to be
a little cooler, Veldini?

Don't get righteous
with me, Iris.

If you gotta live
outside the law

at least be sure
you're covered, that's all.

Another parade of
rinky

Don't you be
righteous with me.

Moussaka. He ordered it.

Thought you were the lady
who didn't like to cook.

'I'm lucky to get
a piece of celery.'

I got a big overhead.

Yeah, because you keep
paying off the man.

That's no different than being
in the joint, you know.

Is that what you
came over to tell me?

Nope.

I just sort of came over.

You wanna help
with the plane?

I thought I'd already
been assigned to it.

- Still got time to volunteer.

Use your head, Veldini.
What am I gonna do?

You can help
with the welding.

- Boy, that really goes back.
- Iris.

It's not just for me.

It's gonna take
all of us.

- See you later.
- Wait a minute. We need you.

You're not gonna get me
by rattling my Johns.

Goddamn it, Veldini,
you just cost me $100.

Listen, Veldini. If you
don't get him back here

I'm not ever gonna come
near your damn plane again.

Help!

Help!

Help! Help!

* I wonder how long

* The lady was alone

* Wonder how many strangers

* Called her up on the phone

* Wonder did she ever go

* Back to the place to be

* And I wonder if she's happy

* With her brand new family

* We're so glad
she came for the ride *

* It was lonesome

* Livin' outside

* Nowhere ain't
no place to be *

* We all really missed her

* She's our love, friend
and sister *

* Hope she's happy
with her brand new family *

'Oh, look here, Veldini,
things are coming right along.'

'That fuselage is solid, all
the flaps are still working.'

- 'All we need's little power.'
'

'About 170. Of course,
that's flat out.'

- 'Cruising speed's about 115.'
'

'I had a Dodge that could
do better than that.'

'How many Dodges you got
with a ceiling of 14,000 feet?'

How much longer is it
gonna take to finish?

Well, that's hard to say.
A month maybe.

Soon as we get some lights,
we can work more at night.

'Hell, we already been
working weekends.'

* Nowhere ain't
no place to be *

* And we all really missed her

* She's our love,
friend and sister *

* Hope she's happy
with her brand new family *

* Easy babe

* Easy babe

* Everything is alright now

* Everything is alright now

'Duval Jax.'

'Seven pickpocket arrests,
no convictions.'

Did 18 months
for income tax evasion.

We've got enough to
pick him up if you want.

I don't want to make any noise,
just wanna know where he is.

Oh, he's living
in a junked airplane.

About six miles out of town
on interstate 80.

Right about here.

900 miles of highway, and he's
gotta live six miles from me.

- Yeah.

It's the manure
I've been collecting.

- The bag's over there.

Lion and polar bear, mostly.

There's some rhino
in there too, though.

- I'll move it. Got enough now.

Figured I'd dump some on Frank's
house on the way out of here.

Ain't nobody gonna be safe
once we get up there, Duval.

Jesus, why don't you learn
to shoot that goddamn thing?

Up yours, Kraut.

- Hey, you missed me.
- I made you miss me.

'Oh, come on, Red Eagle.'

- 'There you go.'
- Gobble, gobble, gobble.

Hey. Cops.

'Hold it right there.'

- I do, he doesn't.

A guy robbed a store
across the street.

Somebody saw him
come in here.

Looks like you got him
outnumbered. You got a warrant?

- You work pretty fast.
- Fast enough.

You wanna go sit down some place
and stay out of the way?

What do you got over there?
No, the thing over there.

Take a sniff of this.

What do you think this is?

Let me see.

'Take a look over
and behind those boxes.'

You all live
in this thing?

What thing?

- This airplane.
- No.

Well, then, what
are you doing out here?

We own the store
across the street.

- Hello, Miss Caine.
- Hello, Bill.

- Oops. Sorry, captain.

I have friends.

Business friends or hangers

- Friends.
- Friends.

I hope this isn't one of them.

I'd hate to get any of mine
mixed up with his.

I'm not the only one, boy.

There's a lot of guys
ahead of you.

Well, thank you very much
for your cooperation.

I'll see you later, Iris.

What are you gonna do now?

I don't know.
This changes things.

You were gonna steal
the plane, weren't you?

No, I wasn't.

And what the hell
do you care anyway?

Because you always get caught,
somebody has to look after you.

Not this time. This time,
I'm gonna do it right.

I'm not coming
if you steal the plane.

I never thought you would.
You'd lose your dealership.

Who'd sleep with
the police department?

Go and steal your plane. I'm not
gonna try to help you anymore.

You told Frank
where I was, didn't you?

I didn't tell Frank anything
that he didn't already know.

Looks like you're
getting your touch back.

It's coming. I can feel
it getting quicker.

In a few days, I'll be
as good as I ever was.

Here's your crown jewels.

'I been teaching him
how to pick pockets.'

Guitar players pick it up quick.
He'd make a hell of a cannon.

Are you sure--

You're gonna start
again, are you?

Hell yes! Frank ain't
gonna cool out now.

And when he starts to pressure,
we're gonna need money, fast.

You don't need to stick
your neck out, Duval.

I can take my own chances.

I ain't doing it just
for you, Veldini.

Just thought I'd ask.

[tuba and guitar music
continues]

Come on, Cadillac.

Come on, Cadillac.

'Come on.'

Go on.

Come on. Cadillac!

Easy, Cadillac.

Good boy.

Stay, boy.

Come on, cool it.

'Does he work here?'

Stay, Cadillac.

Stay.

[people chattering
and laughing]

'Excuse us, please.
Thank you, thank you.'

'Get back, back!'

Veldini, get the hell
out of there!

'Get out!'

'Veldini, do you hear me?'

I said get
out of there now!

'Leave that cage!'

Veldini, get the hell
out of there!

'Get out!'

'You're fired. Now,
get out of that cage.'

- 'He didn't have to do that'.
- Son of a bitch!

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

That was hostile.

What do you mean
you fired him?

Yeah.

While the lion was
still in there?

I'll make it right
with you, I promise.

I'll take care of
my brother too, Mel.

You can count on that.

Uh, listen, Mel..

...can you keep this
under your hat?

Thanks, Mel.

I'll take care of him.

* Dear let me drive again
I feel alive again *

* Dear let me drive again

* Dear let me drive again
I feel alive again *

* Dear let me drive again

* I told the judge
I was sorry *

* I caused all those
terrible accidents *

* Women and children screamed,
the radiator steamed *

* Yes and everybody
spared the bend *

* Dear let me drive again
I feel alive again *

* Dear let me drive again

* Dear let me drive again
I feel alive again *

* Dear let me drive again

What's the matter?

There's a '50 Stude
out there, Eagle.

Goddamm it, there's a
'50 Stude out there.

I know it's
a '50 Stude.

'Will you look at
that beautiful body?'

Yeah, it's a
'50 Stude, alright.

Look like somebody
run into the right side

with a '58 Dodge ice-cream
truck from the scratches.

'Number 59 Zebra,
Stan Brown.'

'Number 69,
Chucky Vales.'

'Number 69 love,
Bucky Murphy.'

Cool!

'Number 88, Paul Horner.'

'And number 99, the all-time
high-point man, Nick Caniti.'

'Once again, if you
are scoring the events'

'please do keep in mind
the car must participate'

'as well as survive.'

Why the hell did
you do that, Eagle?

- Yeah.

I just wanna hear
what you gonna say.

Don't worry,
we'll fix it later.

* Dear let me drive again
I feel alive again *

* Dear let me drive again

* Dear let me drive again

* Let me drive again

Hi, Frank.

Come on, get up.

All the charges
have been dropped

just like you knew
they would be.

I don't do any time just
to ruin your life, Frank.

I told you to get up.

Really going all
out, aren't you?

I'm tired of you pushing
the rules at my expense, Jesse.

I could forget it
if we weren't brothers.

Why don't you leave me
alone for a while?

Maybe I'd move away somewhere,
stop losing you votes.

You think what you want,
but from now on you're

not gonna do nothing
unless I say so.

I'm gonna find you a new job,
a new place to live.

Blow it, I'll turn you in and
at least get credit for that.

I've done all the time
I'm gonna do, Frank.

Horse shit, you got
no choice. Not any.

Only because you got
the two of them.

Hello, Iris.

- No, I'm closed.

- Just came to talk, not to buy.
- There's nothing to talk about.

Well, there is, if you
want to stay in business.

'I've had a hard day, Frank.
Let's make it quick.'

Alright.

- Look a little ragged tonight.
- 'Your boys paid me a visit.'

Like a drink
to settle down?

'I owe you nothing, I've
paid for my protection.'

Relax, Iris, this
isn't a shakedown.

Get on with it,
Frank. I'm tired.

Well...Jesse hasn't been
at his place for a week.

I need to know
what he's up to.

So you can help him again?
Make sure everything's legal?

I don't wanna see Jesse
get set up for good.

You tried that one
last time, Frank.

I don't know anything
you wanna know.

- No.

Who did, then?

'One of your officers,
got a little carried away.'

- 'Give me his name.'
- 'He works for you, Frank.'

'
- 'Just trying to be friendly.'

'We stopped being
friends a year ago.'

'We can always start again.'

- 'You'll have to pay for it.'
- 'Didn't have to, a year ago.'

A year ago, I didn't know
you were Veldini's brother.

You're a fool, Iris.

What's his price?

The old 20?

Take that and you'll be glad
I didn't make it less.

- Veldini never paid.
- Then you'll do it for free.

Let's see whose
side you're on.

Aah..

Oh-oh!

Duval Jax?

Yeah, why?

Mr. Jax,
my name's Hartwell.

County Health Department.

Oh!

I'm afraid, we got
a little bad news for you.

It seems, the spot check
conducted during

police operations showed your
residence to be in violation

of several public-health
ordinances.

Health? Yeah, we haven't had
time to take care of that

but we're gonna
get on it real soon.

Back, back, back.
Down, sir.

Get back in there. Heel.

He's a police dog, see.
He thinks you're a cop.

'I'm afraid we can't
allow Sinclair Aviation'

to continue renting to you
under these conditions.

Why don't you talk to them
then? It's their apartment.

They ought to put
in the bathroom.

We did. And they decided
it would be easier

if the planes were
sold into scrap

and...the area cleaned up.

We did manage, however, to talk
them into a 10-day grace period.

'We know this is
a little sudden'

'but enforcing the ordinances,
we protect you, too.'

'No way.'

- 'It's gotta be.'
- There ain't no way, Veldini.

We can't possibly earn
enough in 10 days

to buy a whole
electrical console.

Well, then we gotta
pick bigger pockets.

We still couldn't order
all the parts in time.

Take them two weeks
to even get here.

Maybe there's another
PBY around.

There's one. Over at
Naval Air Station.

But it's usually
locked up in a hangar.

How do you know that?

- I used to fly it.

When I was in the Navy.

Well, I figure Eagle seems
to be doing all right so far.

What are the chances
of lifting the console?

Well, if everything goes
just right, about 100-to-1.

- 'Well, that ain't bad.'
- Oh, that's just lovely.

You want this plane, Duval?

- Yeah.

Sure, if I get a decent crew.

'Zero hours in the air, and he's
worried about a decent crew.'

Maybe you'd like to try
flying a plane, smart-ass.

I'm not dumb to think I can fly
a plane after reading one book.

I've read three or four
lousy books, you nit.

Cut it out. We still
don't have a plane.

We'll need some time to get
that thing out of the Navy job.

- Sure.

'But, we'll need at least
ten people to do it.'

- We'll take care of the rest.
'

'I think we ought to be able
to figure something out.'

[Mike Bloomfield singing
"Make The Headlines" ]

* We got to get
a gang together *

* We need all of
our good friends *

* To come out of hiding

* To help us again

* We got a little job
all lined up *

* That only you can do

* And we'll all make the
headlines when we're through *

* The kettle is boiling

* The pressure sure stays on

* There just ain't
no kind of way *

* To keep the lid on

* The cops are gonna
be everywhere *

* They'll try to stop our play

* But we'll all
make the headlines *

* The next day

* We're gonna make
the headlines *

* We're gonna make
the headlines *

* We're gonna make
the headlines *

* We're gonna make
the headlines *

Eagle?

It's all set for Sunday night.
Will you be ready to go?

Hell, yes, I'm gonna
be ready to go.

Think I can't do it?

Christ.

All right. Gotta get some
gear together, though.

That hangar door
is a 40-foot climb.

I don't know
nothing about climbing.

Except onto broads
and motorcycles.

So get yourself
another boy.

Look..

...you want me to
snuff your brother?

Just say the word,
and I'll take care of it.

- Come off that shit, Eagle.

I said come off the tough-guy
act, I'm not in the mood for it.

Better watch it, Mac.

You could get pounded out.

You don't even
look like a hood.

I gotta hand it to you
for the hair, though.

Never got mine
to look that good.

Oh, grease
a pencil, huh?

Argh!

Sorry, Eagle. My fault.

Veldini.

I heard about your
chick, and I'm sorry.

What?

The cops busted her
apartment house last week.

And, uh, she was
the only one they got.

- I don't know where he is.

Alright, you find
out where he is.

You wanna sit on your ass, fine.
But do your work, understand?

Or you'll be back
on the street.

- I'm doing the best I can.
- Just find him.

I wanna know where
he is every minute.

But we got other
things to do.

* I know I've
got my problem *

* Always leadin' with my right

* This is one time baby

* I don't wanna fight

* Gonna walk these
streets all night long *

* Chase you like
a croakin' hound *

* We're gonna get together

* On common ground

* I don't like
looking for trouble *

* My baby must be found

* I'm gonna find
her and lead her *

* Lead her to some
common ground *

* We can get together

* On some common ground

* On common ground

* On common ground

* On common ground

'Good evening.'

Why didn't you
answer my marble?

You forgot your boot.

'Hey.'

Can you stop off
at the next corner?

Yes, ma'am. Sure will.

'Gonna get you, Iris.'

* Sometimes I sit and wonder
why I love him at all *

* Every time I hold him up,
he begins to fall *

* He hasn't changed,
he's just the same *

* Like all the other men

* He needs a woman's love
this woman's love *

* To pick him up again

* He laughing sweet lies
in my ear *

* But it's just
the same old song *

* Telling me about
a place somewhere *

* Where right
is never wrong *

* Should I go or should I stay
at least just to not give him *

* A woman's love,
this woman's love *

* To try to make it right

* A woman's love ain't easy
she can't depend upon a man *

Aah..

* I want you to come play with
me just like you used to do *

* To make sure
everything's alright *

* And really see me through

* I know you're not
a little girl *

* I'll play with you this game

* Give me your woman's love

* Woman's love

* To make things right again

* It did good just
be yesterday *

* When all of us were young

* Times when nothing mattered
hanging out and having fun *

* Now I know you're a woman with
a woman's hopes and fears *

* With the woman's love

* Woman's love

* To ease away my pain

* If I could just
get it off my mind *

* And just lay down my bed

* Everything would workout fine
and I'll have no fear *

* But I know that
I'm woman, sometimes weak *

* Sometime strong.
With a woman's love *

* Woman's love to keep right
from getting wrong *

Where the hell
are we, Veldini?

Water and power plant.

It's where we used to come.
We used to steal change

from the rich kids
going to school over there.

And then hide in here.

Ten

We had a lot of class, Iris.

Eagle would sit over there
and read out loud to us.

He's the best goddamn reader
I ever heard in my life.

He read the long version
of "Outlaws of the Border".

Four hundred and
seventy seven pages.

Took our names from that.

He was "Bittercreek" Newcomb.

Duval was Grant Dalton.

- No.

I always hated
the name Jesse.

Frank was Jesse James.
I was Billy the Kid.

I never played those kind of
games when I was a kid.

I couldn't find anybody,
I wanted to be.

I sure tried
hard enough, though.

Is this all you bought?

The stores aren't open
this early on a Sunday.

Got it in an orchard.

Veldini, when are you gonna..

...stop thinking that being
a criminal is romantic?

I'm not a criminal, Iris.

I'm an outlaw.

- I don't know.

When I got out of the joint
this time, Iris

I made a decision
to go straight.

I can't do it.

They stuck me in jail,
Frank had two cops hold me

against the wall and
he beat the shit out of me.

- He didn't like my attitude.

Certainly gets around.
He busted me for the same thing.

Now he's trying to
give me six months.

Okay, this shows the
Utilities Squadron Hangar.

Now, just for laughs, they put
an electrified fence around it.

- Ruth, take care of that.
- Sure.

- Easy, Ray, he'll be here.

Are you sure you got
this worked out?

It's never gonna work.

- Leave that to me.

Okay.

Now, when we all get inside,
three of you get the console

out of the plane
as fast as you can.

Yeah, but not too fast. One bad
cut, we blow the whole deal.

Without that console,
we don't fly.

This thing is
never gonna work.

The truck hits the hangar
about 10:30..

...on the route
we're traveling now.

The guard knows us,
so that's okay.

- Yeah.
'

- No guns.
- We don't want nobody hurt.

Keep the truck
on the line of sight..

...between the exit door
and the guardhouse.

- Because we need that cover.

- Yeah.

Incredible.

Alright, look, use John.
We got to go with family.

'Okay?'

'You sure you got
this thing worked out?'

Now, Veldini will
fill you in later.

Will you wait for me while
I'm in prison?

We're leaving tomorrow, Iris.

You're gonna steal
the plane, right?

No. We're gonna take it,
because it's ours.

Stealing's what
they're gonna do to you.

You coming with us?

I don't know yet.

You wanna go to jail?

They might let me off.

You're worried aboutwhat they
might do, then they got you.

'Now, what about it?'

Don't dare me, Veldini.
I'm not gonna go if you dare me.

You're tough, Iris,
but you're not very dangerous.

I don't belong
to anybody.

Terrific, that
makes five of us.

- You're a loser.
- You're a whore, Iris.

- Don't push me.
- Push back.

- You're a bum.
- Right. You're fantastic, Iris.

'Okay, you got 80 seconds.'

'The sentry's out, keep down.'

'Keep your heads down.'

'Okay.'

- Ready...go.
- Up.

Peel, peel.

Faster, faster.

- Yeah.

Okay, move out.

How does he do that, Rocky?

Have you ever
been in a circus?

- No.
- I can't tell you.

Oh, Christ.

'Just take it easy.'

Aah. Woo-hoo-hoo.

Wow, look at it.

There it is.

There's the console.

- Let's get to work.
- Yeah.

You be the guard.

'Hey, Iris, come over here.'

It's smaller than we thought.
Its about 2 by the 4 by the 8.

'Hang it close to the wall.'

Do that whole perimeter
there, okay?

Duval, you wanna
check that out?

Yeah.

Okay?

Yeah, not bad. Except the Navy's
got the wiring all wrong.

- Fifteen, twenty minutes.

Are you comfortable?

Don't be afraid , we're on
the side of freedom and justice.

We could just quick
disconnect this thing.

You gotta give me a lot
of leeway for cutting.

You gotta cut off these
wires behind the panel.

- Okay.

Look behind that
bulkhead there.

Is there a steel plate
back there?

Yeah.

- 'Right.'
- Okay, take it off.

- The shore patrol just passed.
- Check.

Let's stick it out here.

'
- 'Right on schedule.'

'That blue wire's critical.'

- 'That's for the data control.'
- Okay.

I can't get this
number five bundle here.

Could you push it more?
Just a little more?

- I am.
- Come on, Ruth.

I'm trying.

- Here.
- I got it.

- 'I got it.'
'

'We're about finished,
wanna check it?'

- 'Yeah.'
- 'All we need is a top .'

Let's go.

'Come on, we're running
out of time.'

'Okay.'

That's great.

'Don't twist it.'

'Easy, don't drop it.'

'Hey.'

'Guard.'

'Hey, stop him.'

Hey, Veldini.

Christ...stop.

- 'No.'
- 'Stop.'

'No, stop.'

'Stop.'

The fuse.

'Hey, get him.'

Are you looking for something?

I just wanted to see
where you were at.

I guess we both know.

- Everything's ready. Let's go.
- Quick.

Quick.

Eagle, go to the fence and
signal us when it's clear.

Kid, take the signal.

Eagle?

- We're cutting it close.

Oops!

SPF by the fence.

There's a hole in the fence.
You seen anybody?

- No one's been through here.
- 'Let me through.'

- I got a great idea.
- Wait a second.

We're gonna go
with the console.

That was my idea.

What about Eagle?

There's nothing we can
do for him.

I mean, he's gonna
make it okay by himself.

Alright, follow me.

Come on, get up in there.

Yes, sir.

Move it, move it.

'Hi, Ray.'

Hey, how you doing there, Bill?

You seen anybody strange
on the field tonight?

Me? No, I didn't see
anybody strange tonight.

I seen two sailors heading
towards the fence last night.

'
- 'No, too dark .'

We'll get them coming back in.

Yeah, you'll probably get them
coming back in, then.

- Hasta la vista.
- Yeah, you be good, now.

- Eagle will get away.
- Yeah, sure.

Maybe Eagle didn't get away.

One more minute.

'Veldini?'

'Look, we better get going.'

When your brother finds
that hanger's been robbed

this is the first place
he's gonna look.

'Yeah, Duval.'

'Here we go.'

- Master switch.
- Check.

'Fuel pump?'

Check.

Ignition on?

'Check.'

Engines primed?

'Check.'

Starters engaged.

Number one engine in.

Number two engine.

Goddamn horse-shit
American equipment.

If the goddamn Japanese
won the war.

'We wouldn't be
having this problem.'

Number two engine in.

Okay.

Okay, let's see where we are.

'
- '15 psi.'

- 95 psi.

- Four hundred degrees.

Okay, that's all.

You sure there ain't
something else?

Altitude.

- Well, just read it off.

'We gotta know it works.'

Thirty-four inches.

Ain't there nothing
else we can do?

No. Take it out.

Go ahead.

'Iris.'

'Keep watching for him.'

Do you hear me, Jesse?

We know about the hangar, Jesse.

Yeah, Frank.

Now, cut the engines and come
out and I'll see you get a deal.

- Peachy.

Leave them.

Leave them till I figure
something out.

'Okay, Jesse, you got
30 seconds left.'

'Don't make me blow you
out of there.'

Okay.

'Jesse, you'll never
make it off the road.'

'Come on out, Jesse,
and I'll call down the guns.'

'Okay, look alive over there.'

Sure they got cars
where we're going?

Yeah, that's what Eagle said.

Where are we going, Veldini?

'Some place where
there ain't no jails, Duval.'

'That's what you said.'

There ain't no
such place, you know?

Yeah, I know.

Okay, let's go.

'Hold your fire.'

Will you look at that.

Hold your fire.

Get the binoculars on that guy.
Give me the goddamn binoculars.

'It's a goddamn costume party.'

'Son of a bitch.'

It's the best one
he's ever done.

It's better than Grant Dalton
or Jesse James.

Kid, go get that black box
we took from the Navy.

Quick, now.

Wire it up for two minutes.

I don't know what he's up to.

- I'm getting in their way.

'Just stay alert back there.'

- We gonna ride.
- You bet your sweet ass, Duval.

You're looking good, Eagle.

- I mean this one, Veldini.
- We all mean this one, Eagle.

Eagle, how long we gonna be
on these things?

I never rode one before.

Just until we can get
to the helicopter.

What helicopter?

The one I got parked
beyond those trees.

Let's get the hell out of here.

* Dear let me drive again

* I feel alive again
Dear let me drive again *

'Jesse!'

'Jesse!'

Veldini!

* I caused all those
terrible accident *

* Women and children screaming

* Radiator steaming

* Yes everybody
spared the bend *

* Not to mention
the telephone pole *

* That fell on the nitro truck
and blew a big hole *

* Right across the free will

* And all I could do
was sigh and cry *

* As the near by dam went bust
and washed the town away *

* Dear let me drive again

* I feel alive again

* Dear let me drive again

* Dear let me drive again
I feel alive again *
