THIS IS THE OLD
EARLE PLACE, AIN'T IT?

JACK RABBIT JUMPED

IT'S OK BY ME.

YOU DON'T LIKE
THE IDEA OF THE DAME, HUH?

EVEN GUYS LIKE YOU
OUGHTA KNOW BETTER.

WELL, BABE PICKED HER UP

AT A DIME-A-DANCE
JOINT IN L.A.

SHE'S STRICTLY OK,

WELL, GIVE HER SOME
DOUGH AND SEND HER BACK.

THIS JOB?

WELL, THE TROPICO
SEASON IS JUST STARTIN',

AND MENDOZA,
HE'S OUR INSIDE MAN,

AND THERE'LL BE
PLENTY OF ROCKS

IN THE STRONG BOXES
THEN. PLENTY!

WHEN DO I SEE
THIS MENDOZA?

OH, HE'LL BE UP
THE FIRST DAY HE GETS OFF.

HE'S IN TOUCH
WITH BIG MAC, TOO.

OH, HE IS, HUH?
YEAH.

HE'LL GIVE YOU
ALL THE NEWS FIRSTHAND.

ALL RIGHT.

SAY, MR. EARLE?

I--I WANTED TO TELL YOU
THAT WITH YOU IN ON THE JOB,

WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE
TRAVELIN' IN FAST COMPANY.

I SURE HEARD
A LOT ABOUT YOU.

YOU KNOW, THAT ONE TIME,
WHEN I WAS ONLY A KID,

I SEEN YOUR PICTURE
IN THE PAPER--

YEAH.

YOU CAN HAVE
YOUR ROY EARLE.

HE DON'T LOOK
LIKE MUCH TO ME.

HE'S GETTING GRAY.

HE MAY BE A POWER HOUSE
TO SOME PEOPLE,

BUT HE'S A BLOWED OUT
FUSE TO ME.

I'LL BET HE'S
PLENTY TOUGH.

GET OUTTA LINE,
AND YOU'LL SEE.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL SEE.

LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING.

YOU'RE GETTING SO
YOU'RE WALKIN' 'ROUND

ASKIN' FOR A SMACK
IN THE NOSE.

AND STOP ARGUING
WITH ME ALL THE TIME!

I GOT SOME
BAD NEWS FOR YOU.

ROY SAYS WE GOTTA
SEND MARIE

BACK TO L.A.

WHY THAT BROKEN DOWN...

I'LL TELL HIM.

YEAH? WELL,
HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.

YOU DON'T WANT ME
TO GO BACK TO L.A.,

DO YOU BABE?
YOU GO AND TELL HIM.

I DON'T KNOW.

I SUPPOSE WE NEED
THAT GUY.

BUT THAT'S NO REASON
HE SHOULD COME UP HERE

AND START
PUSHIN' US AROUND.

HE'S NO MORE
THE BOSS THAN WE ARE.

HE CAN'T GET AWAY WITH--

GO ON, KEEP IT UP.

YOU'RE GONNA WIN
THIS ARGUMENT.

LEAVE HER ALONE!
YOU GO SMACKIN' HER AROUND

AND I'LL FLATTEN YOU.

YEAH, YOU AND WHO ELSE?

JUST ME. YOU THINK
IT AIN'T ENOUGH?

AW, CUT IT OUT.
YOU WON'T GET NOTHIN'

OUT OF FIGHTING,
ONLY A BLACK EYE.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU
OR ANYBODY ELSE SAYS.

MARIE'S NOT
GOIN' BACK TO L.A.

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.
HE THINKS DIFFERENT.

WELL, I'M NOT
GONNA BE SENT BACK

TO THAT DIME-A-DANCE
JOINT IF I CAN HELP IT.

I'LL GO TALK TO HIM.

WITH HIM I DON'T
THINK IT'LL WORK.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

YEAH?

CAN I TALK TO YOU
A MOMENT, MR. EARLE?

SURE. HELP YOURSELF.

WHY DO YOU WANT
TO SEND ME BACK TO L.A.?

I LIKE IT HERE.

DON'T PLAY DUMB.

I DON'T INTEND TO.

OH, I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

BUT I DIDN'T
GET IT FROM THEM.

LOUIS MENDOZA TOLD ME.

HE TALKS TOO MUCH,
AND ALL HE DOES IS BRAG.

SO YOU SEE, MR. EARLE,

MENDOZA'S THE ONE FOR YOU
TO WORRY ABOUT, NOT ME.

I AIN'T WORRYIN'
ABOUT YOU.

IT'S THEM JITTERBUGS
YOU GOT WITH YOU.

THEY'LL BE THROWIN' LEAD
OVER YOU BEFORE LONG.

OH, I CAN HANDLE 'EM
ALL RIGHT.

BABE GETS TOUGH
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,

BUT HE'S AFRAID OF RED.

AND I CAN MAKE RED
THINK WHAT I WANT.

YOU GOT IT ALL
FIGURED OUT, AIN'T YOU?

IN A WAY.

ALL RIGHT.

LET THINGS STAY
AS THEY ARE

FOR A FEW DAYS AND...
SEE HOW IT WORKS OUT.

OH, THANKS, MR. EARLE.

WELL?

GOOD-BYE.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

YEAH?

MORNIN'.
THIS IS ME, ALGERNON.

ANYTHING I CAN DO
FOR YOU THIS MORNIN'?

YEAH, YOU CAN RUSTLE
ME UP SOME BREAKFAST.

OH, LADY NEXT DOOR GOT
YOUR BREAKFAST ALREADY.

SHE THOUGHT
MAYBE I OUGHT TO SEE

IF YOU WAS SORT OF STIRRIN'
AROUND, YES, SIR.

BOY, WHERE'D YOU EVER
GET THE NAME ALGERNON?

MY OLD LADY THOUGHT IT UP.

PIPPY AIN'T IT?
KINDA GIVES ME CLASS.

HOW YOU LIKE THIS DOG?

OH, HE'S JUST A DOG,
AIN'T HE?

OH, NO, SIR.
MIGHTY FINE DOG, HE IS.

WATCH NOW...PARD?

DUCKS! DUCKS!

[BARKING]

UP. UP.

JUMP.

YES, SIR,
MIGHTY FINE ANIMAL, HE IS.

KINDA PROUD OF YOUR DOG,
AIN'T YOU?

OH, NO, SIR.
HE AIN'T MY DOG.

HE JUST TOOK LIKE TO ME
AND FOLLOWED ME AROUND.

SORTA GETS ME WORRIED, TOO.

WHY?

WELL, YOU SEE, PARD, HERE

USED TO BELONG TO A WOODCUTTER

WHO LIVED UP HERE
ALL THE YEAR 'ROUND.

LAST WINTER A SNOW SLIDE
COME DOWN--BOOM!--

ON THAT MAN'S HOUSE
AND KILLED HIM DEAD.

DIDN'T KILL PARD, THOUGH.
SO A MAN SAW PARD

SORT OF RUNNIN' 'ROUND
IN THE SNOW, LIKE,

TOOK HIM IN. BAM--IF THAT MAN
UP AND DIED WITH THE PEMONIA.

GREAT, BIG STRAPPIN' MAN, TOO.

SO PARD GOT TO HANGIN' 'ROUND
THE LODGE, HERE.

AND DOGGONE IF MISS TUCKER
DIDN'T COME UP HERE

WITH THE...
[WHEEZING]

AND I HEAR YESTERDAY...
SHE AIN'T GONNA LIVE.

SO I'M JUST TELLIN'
YOU ABOUT PARD

IN CASE YOU WANT HIM
FOR YOUR OWN DOG.

CAN I COME IN?

YEAH.

IS HE BREAKING YOUR HEART

WITH THE STORY
OF THE LITTLE MUTT?

IT'S THE LORD'S TRUTH.

HA HA. LOOK AT HIM.

HE'S A BORN
PANHANDLER.

YOU KNOW, EVERYONE
AROUND HERE STUFFS HIM

SO IT'S GETTING
HE WON'T EAT ANYTHING ELSE

BUT A NEW YORK CUT.

I GUESS I'LL GET
ON BACK TO THE STORE.

PARD'LL STAY HERE WITH YOU,
WON'T YOU, PARD?

HEY, SIT DOWN.
HAVE A CIGARETTE.

THANKS.

WHERE ARE
YOUR BOYFRIENDS?

THEY'RE OUT FISHING.

IT'S ABOUT ALL THEY DO.

NEVER CATCH ANYTHING,
BUT THEY JUST KEEP

RIGHT ON FISHING.

YEAH, HE CERTAINLY
IS SPOILED.

YEAH, LOOK AT HIM. HE KNOWS
WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT HIM.

AH, I FEEL PRETTY GOOD
THIS MORNING.

I FELT ROTTEN
LAST NIGHT.

NOTHING LIKE
A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP

TO PEP YOU UP.

WHAT YOU OUGHTA DO
IS GET OUT IN THE SUN.

DO YOU GOOD.

WHERE I'VE BEEN STAYIN',

THEY DIDN'T LET ME GET
OUT IN THE SUN.

AFRAID I MIGHT SPOIL
MY GIRLISH COMPLEXION.

MUST BE TERRIBLE
TO BE IN PRISON.

OH, SOME OF THEM
ARE WORSE THAN OTHERS.

YOU GET A MEAN GUARD
DOWN ON YOU,

UNLESS YOU GOT
WHAT IT TAKES,

YOU MIGHT AS WELL
CLIMB UP ON TIER 2

AND JUMP OFF.

SOME OF THEM DID.

I DON'T GET YOU.

TOP OF THE CELL BLOCK.

IT'S A 40-FOOT DROP,
AND YOU LAND ON CONCRETE.

I SAW A GUY TAKE
A DIVE ONCE.

HE MADE QUITE A SPLASH.

YEAH. THAT MUST BE AWFUL.

YEAH, WELL HE JUST DIDN'T
HAVE WHAT IT TAKES.

I WAS DOIN' THE BOOK MYSELF,
BUT I GOT A BREAK.

HOW WAS IT?

I MEAN, KNOWING
YOU'RE IN FOR LIFE?

I SHOULD THINK YOU GO CRAZY.

YEAH. YEAH, LOTS OF 'EM DO.

BUT I WAS ALWAYS THINKIN'
ABOUT A CRASH OUT.

I TRIED IT ONCE
AT THE PRISON FARM

WHERE THEY SENT ME
FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR.

BUT THE FIX BLEW UP AND
A SCREW PUT THE BLAST ON ME.

YEAH, AND THEN THE WORST
OF IT WAS THEY SENT ME BACK

BEHIND THOSE BIG WALLS.

WE WERE JUST GETTIN' READY
FOR ANOTHER CRASH OUT

WHEN MY PARDON CAME.

YEAH, I GET IT.

YOU ALWAYS HOPE
YOU CAN GET OUT.

IT SORTA KEEPS YOU GOIN'.

YEAH. YEAH, SURE.
THAT'S IT. YOU GOT IT.

WELL, I'LL GET YOU
SOME MORE COFFEE.

WELL,
THANKS FOR THE CHOW.

SEE THAT FELLOW
OVER THERE?

HE BETTER WATCH HIS STEP
AND FISH ON THE BANK,

'CAUSE THAT LITTLE OL' DOG'S
GOT THE HEX ON HIM FOR SURE.

UH-OH, GONNA PUT THE
EVIL EYE ON HIM, HUH?

YES, SIR, THE EVIL EYE.

THAT LITTLE OL' DOG'S
GOT THE EVILEST EYE.

HIS LEFT EYE JUST SHINES
IN THE DARK

JUST LIKE A CAT'S EYE.

ALGERNON,
IF IT'S IN THE DARK,

HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHICH EYE IS WHICH?

[LAUGHTER]

COME ON, MENDOZA.
WHAT ARE WE DOING,

PLAYING CARDS
OR TAKING A NAP?

I'M SORRY,
FOR A MOMENT,

MY MIND WAS
NOT ON THE GAME.

THAT'S FOR ME.
THANKS, LOUIS.

DUMB LUCK. JUST
PLAIN DUMB LUCK.

MAYBE IF YOU WOULDN'T KICK
SO MUCH, YOU'D DO BETTER.

IT'S ALL
IN THE CARDS.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

OH, ROY, THIS HERE
IS LOUIS MENDOZA.

DELIGHTED, MR. EARLE.

COME ON, MENDOZA.

LET'S FINISH OUT
THIS HAND.

THAT'S A BABY.

THERE'S THAT
DUMB LUCK AGAIN.

I CAN'T BEAT IT.

WHAT'S IT LOOK LIKE
AT THE HOTEL, MENDOZA?

HOW SOON DO WE GO?

OH, IT WON'T BE LONG NOW.

THE RACING SEASON
IS STARTING UP NORTH,

AND ALL THE BIG SHOTS
HAVE BEEN MAKING RESERVATIONS.

THIS IS THE LAYOUT.

I DON'T KNOW.

BABE AND I KIND OF
FIGURED OUR BEST GETAWAY

WAS OVER THE PASS.

NOBODY'D
EVER EXPECT US

TO CROSS THE SIERRAS
TO GET INTO L.A.

SUPPOSE IT WOULD
BLOW UP A STORM?

IF THE PASS
GOT BLOCKED OFF...

THEN WHAT?

Babe: YEAH,
THAT'S RIGHT.

OH, BY THE WAY, I DROPPED
IN TO SEE BIG MAC YESTERDAY.

HE WANTS TO SEE YOU.

ALL RIGHT,
I'LL TAKE A LOOK

AT THE HOTEL TOMORROW.

I'LL DRIVE
ON IN AND SEE HIM.

Red:
OH, I ALMOST FORGOT!

MENDOZA BROUGHT US
A PRESENT.

AND, ROY, I GUESS
YOU'RE THE ENGINEER.

BIG MAC GAVE ME
THE MACHINE GUN.

KNOW HOW TO WORK IT?

RED DOESN'T,
AND NEITHER DOES BABE.

HA, THAT'S
A GOOD ONE, THAT IS.

WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

DOES HE KNOW
HOW TO WORK IT?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW,
THAT GUN REMINDS ME

OF ONE TIME
9 OR 10 YEARS AGO.

WE WERE GETTING READY TO
DO A JOB BACK IN IOWA.

AND ONE OF THE GUYS
GOT THE SHAKES.

WELL, PRETTY SOON
WE FOUND OUT

THAT THIS
GUY WITH THE SHAKES

HAD TALKED TOO MUCH.

AND A BUNCH OF COPPERS
ARE WAITING FOR US

DOWN AT THE BANK.

BUT WE
DON'T SAY NOTHING.

LEFTY JACKSON GOES OUT
AND GETS HIS GUN.

COMES BACK
AND SITS DOWN

AND HOLDS IT
ACROSS HIS KNEE.

THE GUY WITH THE SHAKES
IS SITTING

RIGHT ACROSS
THE ROOM FROM HIM.

PRETTY SOON LEFTY

JUST TOUCHED
THE TRIGGER A LITTLE.

AND THE GUN WENT...

[TAPS TABLE RAPIDLY]

LIKE THAT.

AND THE RAT FELL
OUT OF HIS CHAIR DEAD,

AND WE DROVE OFF
AND LEFT HIM THERE.

YEAH,
THE GUN JUST WENT...

[TAPS TABLE]

WELL, I GUESS
I OUGHT TO BE GETTING BACK.

I HAVE TO
GO ON DUTY AT 8:30.

WHAT'S YOUR STUNT?

YOU STICK RIGHT THROUGH
THE WHOLE JOB, DON'T YOU?

OH, SURE.
I STAND BEHIND THE DESK

AND ACT LIKE I'M SCARED.

WHEN YOU FELLAS GET THROUGH,
I TELEPHONE THE POLICE.

WE DON'T WANT
NO SLIP-UPS, MENDOZA.

BOYS AND GIRLS,
I GOT THE IDEA

THAT OUR BOYFRIEND HERE
IS NO CREAM PUFF.

HOW'D YOU LIKE
THE LITTLE BEDTIME STORY

ABOUT THE GUN
THAT WENT...

[TAPS TABLE]

DID YOU GET THE IDEA?

DO YOU SUPPOSE
HE MEANT IT THAT WAY?

TRY TALKING
AND FIND OUT.

I'LL TAKE
A PACK OF THESE.

25 CENTS, PLEASE.

YES, SIR.
[LAUGHS]

KEY TO 316.

UH, 316...

[CRASH, HORN HONKING]

Man: THEY DON'T CARE
HOW THEY DRIVE.

THEY'VE GOT NO MONEY,
THEY'VE GOT NO INSURANCE.

IT'S MURDER.

TOUGH LUCK, PFIFFER.

IF HE WASN'T
SUCH AN OLD DODO,

I'D TAKE IT
OUT OF HIS HIDE.

HE WASN'T DRIVING.
THE GIRL WAS DRIVING.

I WAS! I WAS!

WHAT'S AN OUTFIT LIKE THAT
DOING IN TROPICO, ANYHOW?

IT'S A STATE HIGHWAY,
AIN'T IT?

THE SIGNAL WAS OUT.
HE HAD HIS HAND OUT, HERE.

WAIT A MINUTE,
NOW WAIT A MINUTE!

WHAT'S WRONG, PA?
WHAT'S GOING ON?

WILL YOU LET ME
GET A WORD IN?

I WAS
DRIVING ALONG...

WHY, ROY!
OH, FRIENDS
OF YOURS?

YEAH, WHY?

I JUST WONDERED. I KNOW
I HAVE NO CHANCE TO COLLECT,

BUT I'M CURIOUS.

I PULL OUT
FROM THE CURB,

AND, WHAM, I GET
A LICK IN MY FENDER!

YEAH, BUT YOU
DIDN'T MAKE NO SIGNAL.

YOU TALK ABOUT COLLECTING,
YOU'D BETTER BE CAREFUL.

YOU MIGHT
HAVE TO PAY OFF.

OH, A WISE GUY
IN ON THIS, HUH?

OH, ALL RIGHT.

HAVE IT YOUR OWN
WAY. I'LL CHARGE

THE WHOLE THING OFF
TO EXPERIENCE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER,
MR. PFIFFER?

OH, I GOT CLIPPED.

BUT I'M SATISFIED
IF THIS GUY IS.

WELL, I GUESS IF MR.
PFIFFER'S SATISFIED, I AM.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON,
LET'S BREAK THIS UP.

COME ON, BACK
ON THE SIDEWALK.

HEY, LISTEN, FELLA. THESE PEOPLE
AIN'T GOT ANY DOUGH.

THEY'RE ON
THEIR WAY TO L.A.,

AND THAT CAR'S
ALL THEY GOT.

OH, STOP IT, YOU'RE
BREAKING MY HEART.

50 BUCKS AIN'T
GONNA MEAN MUCH TO YOU.

SORRY, BUT
NOT A QUARTER.

THAT'S RIGHT,
MR. PFIFFER,

I SAW
THE WHOLE THING.

THAT GIRL
WAS DRIVING THE CAR.

LOOK, SHE'S
A CRIPPLE, TOO!

NO, I GUESS IT WAS
REALLY VELMA'S FAULT.

SHE WAS GAWKING AROUND,
LOOKING AT THINGS,

AND SMACKED RIGHT
INTO THAT FELLA'S CAR.

I WAS SURE SURPRISED
WHEN HE GAVE YOU

THAT $100 TO GIVE ME.

I WOULDN'T WORRY
ABOUT HIM, PA.

HE'S PROBABLY
GOT PLENTY.

WELL, THIS IS
THE SECOND TIME

YOU SAVED
OUR LIVES, SON.

WHEN VELMA SMASHED
INTO THAT CAR,

I HAD 13 CENTS
IN MY POCKET...

AND A $5.00 BILL
IN MY SHOE.

'COURSE THE WOMEN
DIDN'T KNOW IT.

DON'T YOU TELL 'EM.

PA, YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

OH, YOU SAID YOU
COME FROM CHICAGO,

DIDN'T YOU, ROY?

I CAME OUT HERE
FROM CHICAGO,

BUT I'M REALLY
FROM BROOKFIELD, INDIANA.

BORN THERE AND
WENT TO SCHOOL THERE.

LITTLE TOWN?

YEAH.
I KNEW IT!

MY FOLKS HAD A FARM.

I SAID TO MA OUT
THERE IN THE DESERT,

YOU WAS OUR KIND.

YES, SIR! I CAN
TELL 'EM EVERY TIME.

SAY, PA?
YEAH?

EXCUSE ME. I SUPPOSE
IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS,

BUT...WHAT'S WRONG
WITH VELMA'S FOOT?

IT'S A CLUB FOOT.
SHE WAS BORN THAT WAY.

CAN'T NOTHING
BE DONE ABOUT IT?

YEAH, ONE TIME A DOCTOR
SAID SHE COULD BE OPERATED,

BUT THE LAST FEW YEARS,
I'VE BEEN SO BROKE,

WE COULDN'T IF WE'D WANTED.

WE HURRIED
WITH THE DISHES.

WE KNEW PA'D BE
TALKING YOUR EAR OFF.

PA SURE CAN TALK.

ISN'T THE AIR
GRAND OUT HERE?

LOOK AT THE STARS!

I NEVER KNEW THERE
WERE SO MANY IN THE SKY.

BACK HOME YOU COULDN'T
SEE THEM LIKE THAT.

WELL, IT'S
ALWAYS LIKE THIS

OUT IN THE DESERT.

YOU SEE THAT BRIGHT
BLUE STAR UP THERE?

LOOK AT IT SPARKLE!

LOOK...YOU SEE
THAT OTHER ONE?

WHERE?

RIGHT THERE.

OH, I SEE IT.

YEAH, THAT'S JUPITER.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

OH, A FELLA
I USED TO KNOW,

HE TAUGHT ME
ALL ABOUT THE SKY.

AND WHERE WE WAS,
WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH ELSE TO DO.

IS THAT STAR ALWAYS
UP THERE LIKE THAT?

OH, NO, YOU SEE DIFFERENT
STARS AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

THEY CHANGE WITH THE SEASONS.

NOW, LOOK, YOU SEE THAT ONE
TWINKLING OVER THERE?

WELL, THAT'S VENUS.

BOY, IT MAKES YOU DIZZY
JUST LOOKING AT THEM.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES
WHEN YOU'RE OUT IN THE NIGHT

AND YOU LOOK UP AT THE STARS,

YOU CAN ALMOST FEEL
THE MOTION OF THE EARTH.

IT'S LIKE A LITTLE BALL THAT'S
TURNING THROUGH THE NIGHT...

WITH US HANGING ON TO IT.

WHY, THAT SOUNDS
LIKE POETRY, ROY.

IT'S PRETTY.

WELL, I GUESS I'D
BETTER BE STARTING.

I GOT A LONG DRIVE
AHEAD OF ME.

GOT A BUSINESS
APPOINTMENT IN L.A.

PA, I SURE
ENJOYED THAT DINNER.

YEAH, WE SURE
ENJOYED YOUR COMPANY.

NOW, DON'T YOU FAIL TO
LOOK US UP IN LOS ANGELES.

WE MIGHT GET LONESOME.

'SPECIALLY VELMA.

WHY, GRANDPA, YOU SHOULDN'T
SAY THINGS LIKE THAT.

I'M SURPRISED AT YOU.

I DECLARE TO GOODNESS,
THE OLDER YOU GET,

THE SILLIER YOU ACT.

OH, ROY
UNDERSTANDS ME.

ME AND ROY
IS OLD-TIMERS.

GOOD-BYE.

All: GOOD-BYE, ROY.

LUCKY GIRL
THAT GETS HIM.

[DOOR BUZZER]

Man:
COME IN.

I'VE GOT A SWELL POLLY
FOR YOU TOMORROW, DOC.

STILL A SUCKER
FOR THE PONIES, EH?

HELLO, ROY, OLD-TIMER!

HELLO, MAC.

HO HO. YOU'RE A SIGHT
FOR SORE EYES!

I SURE AM GLAD
TO SEE YOU, TOO.

THANKS FOR THE SPRING.

I WAS JUST GETTING READY
FOR ANOTHER CRASH-OUT.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, MAC?

I DON'T KNOW.

I CAN'T EAT.

JUST AIN'T HUNGRY.

AND I CAN'T SLEEP.

DOC BANTON SAYS
IT'S MY PAST LIFE

CATCHING UP WITH ME.

[LAUGHS]

DOC BANTON?
IS HE OUT HERE NOW?

YEAH, I WAS EXPECTING
HIM WHEN YOU CAME IN.

HE'S RUNNING ONE OF
THOSE HEALTH SERVICES

UNDER A PHONY NAME.

HELP YOURSELF
TO A DRINK.

WELL, ROY,
HOW DOES IT LOOK,

AND WHAT DO YOU SAY?

I CAN'T SEE
NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

IF THE BOYS DON'T
BLOW UP ON ME, IT'S A CINCH.

BUT, MAC, IT'S GONNA
MAKE AN AWFUL BIG NOISE

IN THE NEWSPAPERS.

WELL, THAT'S
YOUR HEADACHE, NOT MINE.

THE JEWELRY, THAT'S
ALL I'M INTERESTED IN.

NOW, LOOK, ROY,

ONCE YOU GET
YOUR MITTS ON IT,

KEEP YOUR MITTS ON IT.

DELIVER IT RIGHT HERE.

IF YOU'RE HOT...
TELEPHONE.

THIS CAPER
MEANS A LOT TO ME.

I SPENT A PILE OF DOUGH
SETTING IT UP,

AND I'M IN DEEP.

SO DON'T
LET ME DOWN, ROY.

I NEVER LET NOBODY DOWN,
MAC. YOU KNOW THAT.

OH, I KNOW, I KNOW.
BUT I'VE BEEN DEALING

WITH SUCH A LOT
OF SCREWBALLS LATELY.

YOUNG TWERPS.
SODA JERKERS AND JITTERBUGS.

WHY, IT'S A RELIEF JUST
TO TALK TO A GUY LIKE YOU.

YEAH.

ALL THE A-1 GUYS ARE GONE.

DEAD.

OR IN ALCATRAZ.

IF I ONLY HAD
4 GUYS LIKE YOU, ROY,

THIS KNOCK-OVER
WOULD BE A WALTZ.

YEP.

TIMES HAVE SURE CHANGED.

YEAH, AIN'T THEY?

YOU KNOW, MAC,
SOMETIMES I FEEL

LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT'S ALL ABOUT ANYMORE.

YEP, TIMES HAVE
SURE CHANGED.

HIDE THE BOOZE,
HIDE THE BOOZE.

AH, HELLO, MAC!

HELLO, DOC.

LOOK WHO'S HERE.

WELL, I'LL BE...

ROY EARLE,
THE OLD BOY HIMSELF!

HELLO, DOC.

LAST TIME I SAW YOU
WAS WHEN I WAS

TAKING SLUGS OUT OF
LEFTY JACKSON'S CHEST.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

AH, THOSE
WERE THE TIMES.

NOT MANY
OF THE OLD BUNCH LEFT.

OH, CUT IT OUT.

HA HA HA.

MAC TELLS ME YOU'RE
DOING ALL RIGHT, DOC.

ROY, THIS IS THE LAND OF MILK
AND HONEY FOR THE HEALTH RACKET.

EVERY WOMAN IN CALIFORNIA
THINKS SHE'S EITHER

TOO FAT OR TOO THIN
OR TOO SOMETHING.

WELL...

SAME DOSAGE, SAME MEDICINE.

NEED A PRESCRIPTION?

NO, WELL...GOOD NIGHT, MAC.

GOOD NIGHT, DOC.

HE'S IN A BAD WAY,
OLD MAC.

BUM TICKER, KIDNEYS ON
THE BLINK, BAD STOMACH.

LIKE A KID'S TOY
THAT'S RUNNING DOWN.

I TRY TO KEEP HIM
FROM DRINKING,

BUT THERE'S
NO STOPPING OLD MAC.

HE'LL GO ON DOING JUST
AS HE ALWAYS HAS DONE.

WELL, MAYBE HE'S RIGHT.

SAY, DOC.

YEAH?

THERE'S SOMETHING
I WANTED TO ASK YOU.

YEAH?

CAN ANYTHING BE DONE
ABOUT A CLUB FOOT?

WELL, SOME CAN BE OPERATED
AND SOME CAN'T. WHY?

A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE'S
GOT A GRANDDAUGHTER.

SHE'S
A MIGHTY NICE GIRL.

ONE TIME A DOCTOR
TOLD HER OLD MAN

THAT AN OPERATION
COULD FIX IT.

I WAS JUST
WONDERING IF...

YOUNG KID, IS SHE?

ABOUT 20, I GUESS.

OH, 20.

I SEE...

WELL, MY ADVICE, ROY, IS
TO FORGET ALL ABOUT HER FOOT.

LOOK, DOC,
I AIN'T KIDDING.

WELL,
I'D HAVE TO SEE HER.

WOULD YOU TAKE
A LOOK AT HER,

THAT IS, IF I CAN
TALK HER INTO IT?

SURE, SURE, SURE,
OF COURSE, ROY.

BUT YOU UNDERSTAND
I CAN'T DO ANY OPERATING,

BUT I CAN GET YOU
SOMEONE WHO WILL.

IT'LL, UH...
COST YOU PLENTY, THOUGH.

OK, DOC.
I'LL GIVE YOU A RING.

GOOD, DO THAT,
ROY, DO THAT!

AND, UH...

I'LL MAKE YOU A PRESENT
OF MY FEE FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE.

NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, DOC.

ROY.

I DON'T KNOW, MAC,
DO YOU--

YEAH, I DO.

THERE,
NOW I FEEL BETTER.

THAT'S THE WORKS.

NOW, IF ANYTHING
SHOULD HAPPEN TO ME,

READ THIS LETTER,
AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO.

AS THE DOC TOLD YOU,

IF I DON'T
LAY OFF THIS STUFF,

IT'S GONNA KNOCK ME OFF.

BUT I'M GONNA DIE,
ANYHOW.

SO ARE YOU.

SO ARE WE ALL.

HA HA.
YOUR HEALTH, ROY.

AH, HELLO, ROY!

HELLO, PA.

GLAD TO SEE YOU,
GLAD TO SEE YOU.

HEY, THIS IS THE DOC,
MR. PARKER,

THE NEW HEALTH INSTITUTE.

PROUD TO MEET YOU,
MR. PARKER.

HOW DO YOU DO?

HE'S KIND OF AN EXPERT.
KNOWS HIS STUFF.

OH, YEAH? WELL,
AFTER YOU CALLED UP,

I SPOKE TO THEM ALL,
AND I THINK

I GOT VELMA
ON MY SIDE,

BUT MA'S AGAINST IT.

[PIANO MUSIC]

YOU'LL HAVE TO EXCUSE
THINGS THE WAY THEY LOOK.

WE'RE JUST GETTING
STRAIGHTENED OUT.

ROY, THIS IS MABEL.
HOW DO YOU DO?

THIS IS HER HUSBAND CARL.

THIS IS MR. PARKER, MABEL.

HOW DO YOU DO?

HELLO, ROY.

HELLO, VELMA.

SAY, I'D LIKE YOU
TO MEET MR. PARKER.

HOW DO YOU DO?
VELMA.

YOU SAY MR. PARKER.

ISN'T HE EVEN A DOCTOR?

I AM A...SPECIALIST.

HMM!

SEEMS TO ME YOU'D BE
THANKFUL SOMEBODY'S

TRYING TO DO SOMETHING
FOR THAT GIRL OF YOURS.

YOU'VE NOTHING TO
SAY ABOUT THIS, CARL.

VELMA'S MY GIRL,
AND I'M THINKING

IF HE ISN'T
EVEN A DOCTOR--

WELL, HE CAN
LOOK AT HER, CAN'T HE?

THAT WON'T HURT NOTHIN'.

I DON'T THINK VELMA
WANTS HIM TO LOOK AT HER.

DO YOU, DEAR?

WELL, PA WANTS HIM TO.
SO DOES ROY.

WHO IS THIS ROY, ANYWAY?

MABEL, YOU KNOW
ALL ABOUT ROY.

IF IT HADN'T
BEEN FOR HIM--

WHY DOES HE GO TO SO MUCH
TROUBLE TO HELP STRANGERS?

HE MUST HAVE SOME REASON.

MAYBE HE LIKES VELMA.

SHE AIN'T MARRIED YET,
AND LIKELY NOT TO BE.

AND IF YOU WANT MY OPINION--

WE DON'T WANT
YOUR OPINION.

LOOK, YOU GOT
VELMA ALL UPSET,

TALKING
LIKE THAT.

ALL RIGHT,
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT!

DON'T YOU WORRY, HONEY.
IF YOU DON'T WANT HIM

TO LOOK AT YOUR FOOT,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LET HIM.

OH, BUT I DO!

VERY WELL, IF THE CHILD'S
MADE UP HER MIND,

I'VE NOTHING
MORE TO SAY.

COME ALONG, MR. PARKER.
COME ON, MA!

THIS WAY,
DOCTOR.

ROY, IF THIS
HERE SPECIALIST

SAYS HE CAN OPERATE
ON VELMA, WHAT THEN?

OPERATIONS COST MONEY.

WELL, I'LL
LOAN YOU THE MONEY.

I COULD NEVER PAY IT BACK.
YOU KNOW THAT, ROY.

I AIN'T
WORRYING ABOUT THAT.

OH, I KNOW, I KNOW.

ANYBODY WITH
EYES IN THEIR HEAD...

SHE'S PRETTY, AIN'T SHE?

AND JUST AS SWEET
AS SHE'S PRETTY.

YEAH.

ARE YOU FIGURING
ON MARRYING VELMA, ROY?

WELL, I AIN'T GOT
THAT FAR IN MY FIGURING.

WELL...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

BUT IT SEEMS TO ME,

BEFORE YOU GO
PUTTING OUT MONEY,

I OUGHT TO TELL YOU
ABOUT VELMA.

HMM?

WHAT ABOUT HER?

WELL, SHE'S GOT
A FELLA BACK HOME.

HIS NAME'S PREISER.
HE'S ABOUT 30 YEARS OLD

AND ALREADY DIVORCED.

HE'S DOING GOOD IN
THE INSURANCE BUSINESS,

BUT IT DIDN'T
LOOK RIGHT.

A DIVORCED MAN RUNNING
AROUND WITH A CRIPPLED GIRL,

SO MA AND ME BRINGS VELMA
OUT HERE TO HER MOTHER.

NOW, IT'S MY GUESS THAT

VELMA'S STILL THINKING
ABOUT THAT FELLA.

NOW, MIND, I DON'T THINK
THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG.

I'M ALWAYS TELLING
MYSELF THERE WASN'T.

MAKES ME FEEL BETTER.

THAT'S ABOUT ALL
THERE IS TO IT, ROY.

I HOPE YOU AIN'T
SORE OR ANYTHING.

NO, I...
I AIN'T SORE AT NOBODY.

I GUESS IT SOUNDS FUNNY,

AND...I AIN'T GOT
THE RIGHT WORDS TO FIT IT,

BUT IT SEEMS AS IF
I'VE BEEN CLOSE TO VELMA

FOR A MILLION YEARS.

AND KNOWIN' HER LIKE I DO,

NOBODY AIN'T
EVER GONNA TELL ME

SHE'S EVER DONE
A WRONG THING.

'CAUSE I KNOW,
YOU UNDERSTAND?

SHE'S NOT TO KNOW YOU
EVER TOLD ME ANYTHING.

ALRIGHT, ROY.
ANYTHING YOU SAY.

ROY, HE SAYS
IT CAN BE FIXED!

THERE'S NOTHING
VERY SERIOUS.

WE'LL SOON HAVE THE YOUNG LADY
WALKING AS WELL AS ANYBODY.

JIMINY CRICKET!

AIN'T THAT
WONDERFUL, MA?

NOW, HONEY, YOU
JUST THANK ROY.

ROY'S THE ONE. HE
THOUGHT UP THE WHOLE THING,

AND HE'S LENDING
ME THE MONEY.

YOU, MR. COLLINS.
YOU...

WHY, I'VE NEVER...

I MEAN I...
OH, I...

I HOPE YOU'LL EXCUSE
THE WAY I ACTED,

BUT I'VE BEEN SO
WORRIED ABOUT VELMA.

POOR CHILD,
AFTER ALL,

I AM HER MOTHER,
AND...

MR. PARKER HERE WILL
TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.

NOW YOU GOT NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT, VELMA.

OH, ROY, YOU'RE SO GOOD.

PA SAYS YOU'RE THE BEST
MAN THAT EVER LIVED.

AND I GUESS PA'S RIGHT.

WELL...GOOD-BYE.

DURNDEST FELLA.

DURNDEST FELLA.

IT'S CRIMINAL
NOTHING'S EVER BEEN DONE

WITH THAT GIRL BEFORE.

SIMPLE ENOUGH OPERATION.

I GOT AN IN WITH
THE BEST SURGEON IN TOWN.

THE WHOLE THING'LL SET YOU
BACK ABOUT 400 BUCKS, THOUGH.

YOU SATISFIED?

YEAH.
SURE, I'M SATISFIED.

BUT, ROY, I'M GIVING
IT TO YOU STRAIGHT.

YOU'RE JUST
STICKING YOUR NECK OUT.

SHE'S NOT YOUR KIND,
AND YOU KNOW IT.

AND SHE'S GONNA
THROW AN AWFUL FIT

WHEN SHE FINDS OUT WHAT KIND
OF A GUY YOU REALLY ARE.

YEAH, I KNOW.

YOU MAY CATCH LEAD
ANY MINUTE.

WHAT YOU NEED IS
A FAST-STEPPIN' YOUNG FILLY

YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH.

'MEMBER WHAT
JOHNNY DILLINGER SAID

ABOUT GUYS LIKE YOU AND HIM?

HE SAID YOU WERE
JUST RUSHIN' TOWARD DEATH.

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

JUST RUSHIN' TOWARD DEATH.

[BARKS]

[WHINES]

WHAT'S THE MATTER, PARD?
YOU BEEN HIDIN' OUT?

[BARKS]

[DOOR CREAKS]

IS THAT YOU, ROY?

YEAH.

IS PARD WITH YOU?

YEAH, HE'S RIGHT HERE.

HEY, YOU HAD ME SCARED.

WHAT'RE YOU
DOING IN THERE?

COME ON IN.

GEE, I'M GLAD
PARD'S ALL RIGHT.

I WAS AFRAID
BABE HAD KILLED HIM.

DID HE DO THAT?

YEAH, HE WENT CRAZY.

RED TRIED TO
COOL HIM OFF,

BUT HE FOUGHT
LIKE A WILDCAT.

AND HE PICKED UP
A POKER,

AND HIT RED OVER
THE HEAD WITH IT.

WHEN RED WAS DOWN,
HE SWUNG AT ME TWICE.

WERE THOSE GUYS
FIGHTING OVER YOU?

RED WAS
STANDING UP FOR ME.

WHEN WAS THIS?

ABOUT DARK.

WHERE ARE THEY?

WELL, AS SOON AS
BABE KNOCKED RED COLD,

HE STARTED
RUNNING FOR THE STORE.

AND I HEARD
PARD BARKING AND...

BABE THREW
A POKER AT HIM.

SO I RAN OVER HERE
AND LOCKED MYSELF IN.

AND I FOUND THIS
UNDER YOUR PILLOW.

FIGURED IF BABE
SNEAKED BACK,

I COULD HOLD HIM OFF.

HE WAS LIKE A CRAZY GUY.

GIVE ME THAT.
YOU STAY HERE.

OH, ROY, YOU'LL ONLY
GET YOURSELF IN A JAM--

SHUT UP AND LOCK
THIS DOOR BEHIND ME.

ROY!

GIVE ME THAT GUN.

NOBODY'S GONNA
PUSH ME AROUND!

GIVE IT TO ME.

IS HE IN THERE?

YEAH, HE'S SCARED
TO COME OUT.

SO YOU WERE GONNA
BUMP HIM OFF, HUH?

WELL, HE HIT ME
ON THE HEAD--

YOU WAIT RIGHT HERE.
I'LL HANDLE THIS.

I HAD HIM HOOKED GOOD.
HE WAS ALL PLAYED OUT.

AND I'M REACHING FOR
MY NET...

WELL, GOOD NIGHT,
FELLAS.

HERE'S MY PAL.
I GUESS I'LL GET ALONG.

ALL RIGHT, SON.

AND I HOPE TOMORROW
YOU GET A 10-POUNDER.

YEAH, THANKS.

GOOD NIGHT.

YOU STINKIN' RAT.

YEAH, I KNOW.
I WENT CRAZY.

MARIE, SHE TRIED...

THAT'S RIGHT.
BLAME THE DAME.

GO ON.

[FOOTSTEPS
APPROACH]

Roy: MARIE?

HERE HE IS.
MARK HIM UP.

SWING ON HIM.
HIT HIM WITH THIS.

NO.

I DON'T WANNA
HURT HIM.

AW, ROY, DON'T
HURT HIM.

HE WON'T ACT
LIKE THAT AGAIN.

CAR'S OUTSIDE.

IF I WAS YOU, I'D BEAT IT,
AND QUICK, BOTH OF YOU.

AW, LOOK, ROY, WE BEEN
COUNTIN' ON THIS JOB.

I'M GIVIN' YOU
A CHANCE TO BLOW.

IF YOU DECIDE TO STICK,
I'LL SHOOT THE FIRST ONE

THAT DON'T DO
AS I TELL HIM.

OK, ROY.
COME ON.

ROY...

I'M NOT GOIN' BACK
TO THE CABIN.

AH, YOU BETTER NOT.

TROUBLE WOULD JUST START
ALL OVER AGAIN.

LOOK, I FOUND A COT
IN THE WOODSHED.

I COULD FIX IT UP AND SLEEP
HERE IN THE KITCHEN.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL HAVE ALGERNON
GET YOUR CLOTHES,

AND I'LL SEND YOU HOME
TOMORROW.

[MUTTERING]

Roy: NO.

NO!

NO, I SAY!

CAN'T HOLD--

TAKE THE GATES AWAY.

I'M CRASHING OUT.

YEAH, SURE...

SURE...

I'LL GO BACK
TO THE FARM.

SWEET...
WHEN WE HAD A FARM.

BUT YOU'RE...
YOU'RE HOLDING ME BACK.

DON'T HOLD ME BACK.

I'LL CRASH OUT,
I TELL YA.

I'LL CRASH OUT.

YOU...CAN'T...

OH...

BUT YOU CAN'T DO IT.

FARM WAS THE BEST.

YEAH. YEAH, THAT'S THE BEST.

YOU CAN'T TAKE IT AWAY.

YOU CAN'T.

YOU CAN'T...

LITTLE MORE COFFEE?

YEAH. WELL,
YOU ALL PACKED?

WELL...

ROY, I...

I THOUGHT MAYBE I COULD--

I'LL RUN YOU OVER
TO BALLARD.

YOU CAN CATCH A BUS.

HAVEN'T GOT A SOUL
IN L.A.

WHERE YOU FROM?

SAN FRANCISCO.

FAMILY THERE?

YEAH.

MAYBE I CAN STAKE YOU
TO A TICKET.

ROY...

REMEMBER WHAT YOU WERE
SAYING THE OTHER DAY

ABOUT PRISON?

AND THE WAY YOU KEPT
FROM GOING CRAZY

BY THINKING ALL THE TIME
ABOUT A CRASH OUT?

UH-HUH.

WELL, THAT'S THE WAY
IT'S BEEN WITH ME.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CRASH OUT
EVER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER.

MY OLD MAN USED TO GET DRUNK
A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK

AND KICK US AROUND.

MY OLD LADY
USED TO STAND IT,

BUT NOT ME.

I WAITED FOR MY CHANCE,
AND I BEAT IT.

I CRASHED OUT
JUST LIKE YOU DID.

I GOTCHA.

THEN I CAME DOWN TO L.A.

AND GOT A JOB
IN THE DIME-A-DANCE JOINT.

IT WAS A LIVING, BUT...

WELL, I GOT PRETTY SICK
OF BEING PAWED OVER.

SO WHEN BABE CAME ALONG,
I...CRASHED OUT AGAIN.

I THOUGHT BABE
WAS A RIGHT GUY.

I GUESS I WAS NEVER
REALLY HOOKED UP

WITH ANY GUYS
THAT WASN'T WRONG,

SO I HAD NOTHING
TO GO BY.

TILL I MET YOU.

I'LL GET READY.

GO AWAY, PARD,
WILL YOU? GO AWAY.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

OH, ROY, PLEASE DON'T
SEND ME BACK TO L.A.!

PLEASE DON'T!

I WANNA STAY WITH YOU.
PLEASE, ROY, DON'T!

OH, ROY...

LISTEN...

LISTEN TO ME.

I'M GIVIN' IT TO YOU
STRAIGHT.

I GOT PLANS, SEE.

AND THERE'S NO ROOM
IN THEM FOR YOU.

YOU COULDN'T EVER MEAN
NOTHIN' TO ME...

NOTHIN' SPECIAL,
THAT IS.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

I'M GONNA TAKE
A RUN DOWN TO L.A.

I CAN'T STAND
THIS WAITING AROUND.

LET ME GO ALONG, ROY,
WILL YOU?

I SURE WOULD LIKE
TO TAKE IN A MOVIE.

WILL YOU, ROY?

ALL RIGHT,
GET YOUR THINGS

AND BRING MY HAT.

OK, I WON'T BE
A SECOND.

WE'LL BE BACK
IN PLENTY OF TIME

IN CASE
MENDOZA CALLS...

IF HE EVER CALLS.

I DON'T LIKE THE WAY
HE'S STALLING AROUND.

I JUST DON'T LIKE IT.

NOW, YOU GUYS KEEP
YOUR NOSES CLEAN.

YEAH, SURE, ROY.

[BARKING]

[ARF ARF]

[ARF ARF]

ROY, PARD'S FOLLOWING YOU.

GO ON HOME, PARD.
GO BACK.

AW, ROY, LET'S TAKE
HIM ALONG WITH US.

I'VE GOT TO LEAVE
HIM SOME TIME.

HE MIGHT AS WELL
GET USED TO IT.

YEAH, YOU'VE GOT
TO LEAVE HIM SOME TIME,

SO LET'S TAKE HIM NOW.

ALL RIGHT.

GONNA TAKE IN A MOVIE
WHEN WE GET TO L.A.?

I DON'T CARE.
I JUST CAME FOR THE RIDE.

I GUESS I'D BETTER
TAKE CARE OF PARD THEN

IF YOU'RE GOING
TO A MOVIE.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

TO SEE SOME PEOPLE.

FRIENDS OF MINE.

WHAT'S THEIR RACKET?

HA HA HA HA.

THEY'RE NOT
IN ANY RACKET.

HE'S A FARMER
FROM OHIO.

LOST HIS FARM.

THERE'S HIM AND MA
AND HIS GRANDDAUGHTER.

GRANDDAUGHTER, HUH?

YEAH. NAME'S VELMA.

JUST HAD AN OPERATION
ON HER FOOT.

MIGHTY PRETTY GIRL.

IS SHE?

YEAH.

YEAH, AND DECENT.

[DOOR BUZZER]

HELLO, PA.

HELLO, ROY.

WELL, I'LL BE DOGGONED.
WHERE'VE YOU BEEN?

SAY, HOW'S VELMA?

WELL, YOU WOULDN'T
KNOW HER.

YOU MEAN SHE'S
WALKING AROUND?

NO, SHE'S STILL IN BED,

BUT THE DOCTOR SAYS
IN A FEW MORE DAYS,

SHE CAN DANCE
OR DO ANYTHING,

AND NOBODY'D EVER KNOW
SHE WAS CRIPPLED.

AW, SAY, THAT'S GREAT.

HELLO, BOY, HELLO.

THERE'S A CUTE
LITTLE FELLA, HUH?

ROY,
IT'S ABOUT TIME!

HEY, MA, CUT THAT OUT.

ROY'S A DARN
NICE-LOOKING FELLA,

AND I'M JEALOUS.

COME ON IN
AND SEE VELMA.

SHE'LL BE GLAD
TO SEE YOU.

OH, ROY, YOU LOOK
SO GOOD.

MABLE'S HUSBAND'S
AT WORK,

AND MABLE'S UPTOWN
GADDING AROUND,

SO YOU GOT HER ALL
TO YOURSELF TODAY, ROY.

WELL, I HEAR
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

SHE WANTS TO KISS YOU.

OH, MA...

WE WERE WONDERING WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOU, ROY.

WELL, I'VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY.

IT HURT MUCH
WHEN THEY FIXED YOUR FOOT?

OH, IT DIDN'T
HURT AT ALL.

I DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW IT.

WE'LL NEVER GET THROUGH
THANKING YOU, ROY.

IT WAS WONDERFUL OF YOU.

SAY, UH, I'VE GOT A BIG
BUSINESS DEAL COMING UP,

AND IF IT GOES THROUGH
THE WAY I THINK IT OUGHT TO,

I CAN QUIT FOR LIFE.

OH, THAT'S FINE, ROY!
DID YOU TELL PA?

I WAS THINKING THAT, UH...

IF THIS DEAL GOES THROUGH
THE WAY IT OUGHT TO

THAT I'D LIKE TO TAKE
A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD.

AND I WAS JUST...

DO YOU SEE
WHAT I MEAN, VELMA?

YES, I SEE.

WELL, I--I WAS THINKING

THAT IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO
TAKE A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD,

WHAT--WHAT WOULD
YOU LIKE TO DO?

YOU SEE, VELMA,
I'D SURE LIKE TO MARRY YOU.

I AIN'T SO OLD.

I'M GOING TO HAVE
PLENTY OF DOUGH SOMEDAY.

GEE, I DON'T KNOW.

YOU'VE SURE BEEN
WONDERFUL TO US, ROY,

AND PA SAYS THERE'S
NO BETTER MAN THAN YOU.

BUT, ROY...

YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY
BACK HOME, I GUESS.

WELL, YES,
IN A WAY I HAVE.

HE FIGURING ON COMING
OUT HERE TO MARRY YOU?

I DON'T KNOW.
I MAY GO BACK THERE.

I OUGHT TO BE HEARING
FROM HIM ANY DAY NOW.

ARE YOU CRAZY
ABOUT HIM, VELMA?

WELL, I GUESS
THAT LETS ME OUT.

BUT WE CAN STILL
BE FRIENDS THOUGH,

CAN'T WE, ROY?

WHEN WILL WE
SEE YOU AGAIN?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I'LL BE WALKING
IN A FEW DAYS.

ROY, YOU SIMPLY
MUST COME BACK

TO SEE ME WALK.

WHY, OF COURSE
HE WILL.

YEAH...I'LL COME BACK
AND SEE VELMA WALK.

WHAT'S WRONG, PET?

HE WANTS ME
TO MARRY HIM, PA,

AND I SAID I WOULDN'T
ON ACCOUNT OF LON.

OH...

I DON'T LOVE ROY, PA.

I'M NOT CRIPPLED
ANYMORE, PA.

AND FROM NOW ON,
I'M GOING TO HAVE FUN.

DRESSING UP AND GOING
PLACES AND DANCING.

I'LL DANCE ALL NIGHT
LONG IF I WANT TO!

OH, I KNOW WHAT
ROY DID FOR ME, PA,

BUT I DON'T LOVE HIM.

I JUST DON'T LOVE HIM.

OH, THERE, THERE.
IT'S OK.

MORNING. A MAN PHONED IN
A TELEGRAM FOR MR. COLLINS.

HELLO, PARD,
YOU HARD LUCK DOG YOU.

Roy: IT'S FROM MENDOZA.

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT.

Red:
HERE ARE THE 3 HAMMERS.

SHALL I TAKE
THE SLEDGE, ROY?

Roy:
I DON'T KNOW.

I'VE NEVER
CRACKED

A SAFETY DEPOSIT
BOX BEFORE.

I STILL DON'T SEE

WHY MENDOZA CAN'T
OPEN THOSE BOXES.

IT WOULD BE A TIP-OFF

THAT IT WAS
AN INSIDE JOB.

THE COPS WOULD PINCH
HIM AND HE'D SING,

OR I DON'T KNOW GUYS.

ROY, WHAT ABOUT PARD?

OH, YEAH...

YEAH, TAKE HIM
OVER TO ALGERNON.

TELL HIM
TO LOCK HIM UP.

HERE.
HERE'S 5 BUCKS.

WHY NOT
TAKE HIM ALONG?

Red: IMAGINE TAKING
A DOG ON A CAPER.

THAT'S RICH, THAT IS.

I'D WATCH AFTER HIM.

YOU DO
AS I TELL YOU.

WELL, I GUESS
THAT'S EVERYTHING.

NOW, LISTEN...

WHEN WE GET
INTO THE HOTEL,

DON'T ANYBODY LOOK UP,
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.

THAT'S MY BUSINESS.

NOBODY'S GOING TO BOTHER YOU,
AND I MEAN NOBODY.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

MARIE AND I ARE GOING
TO HEAD FOR L.A.

WITH THE JEWELRY
IN A SHOEBOX.

YOU TAKE THE DOUGH
AND COME BACK UP HERE.

WHEN YOU HEAR FROM US,
BRING THE DOUGH TO L.A.

ALL RIGHT?

WELL, I GUESS
WE'RE ALL SET.

WELL, I'M GLAD
MARIE'S GOING.

SHE'S GOT MORE NERVE
THAN MOST GUYS.

YEAH.

AND WE'LL MAKE UP
HER SHARE BETWEEN US.

THAT'S FAIR, AIN'T IT?

FAIR ENOUGH.
YOU BET.

IT'S WORTH IT
TO HAVE SOMEONE

TO WATCH OUT FOR THE CAR.

I'LL NEVER FORGET
A GUY I KNEW ONCE.

PETTY GARRISON
HIS NAME WAS.

WELL, ONE DAY,
HIM AND ANOTHER CREEP

WALTZES IN TO KNOCK OVER
A GROCERY STORE, SEE?

AND HE LEAVES THE HEAP
OUTSIDE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING.

WELL, THEY COME
BOUNCING OUT

A COUPLE OF JUMPS AHEAD
OF A SHOTGUN BLAST--

SOMEBODY SNITCHED IT.

SO THEY DUCKS DOWN AN ALLEY,

AND RUNS RIGHT SMACK
INTO A COPPER.

BROTHER, WHAT A MESS.

YOU THINK OF THE PRETTIEST
STORIES TO TELL.

OH, THEY WAS
JUST SMALL-TIMERS,

NOT LIKE US.

WE WASN'T BIG
TILL THIS ONE.

I DON'T FEEL BIG.

ROY FEELS BIG,
THAT'S WHAT COUNTS.

ALL RIGHT, CUT THE GAB
AND GET GOING.

[WHIMPERING]

PARD'S LOCKED IN.

HE KNOWS THERE'S
SOMETHING UP.

E KEEPS SCRATCHING
AT THE DOOR.

THAT LITTLE MUTT'S
JUST A PLAIN NUISANCE.

[ARF]

[PARD BARKING]

THAT'S PARD.
I TOLD YOU HE KNEW.

[HOWLING]

SHUT UP
AND GET IN THE CAR.

WISH THAT DOG
WOULD STOP HOWLING.

GIVES ME THE CREEPS.

[HOWLING]

[BARKING]

[BARKING]

WHAT WRONG
WITH YOU?

IT'S PARD.
HE GOT LOOSE.

HE'S FOLLOWING US.

HE CAN'T FOLLOW
US FAR AT NIGHT.

OH, ROY, YOU CAN'T.

WHO SAYS I CAN'T?

WHAT I OUGHT
TO DO

IS PUT A BULLET
THROUGH HIS HEAD.

AIN'T GOT ENOUGH TROUBLE
WITHOUT A FOOL DOG?

[BARKING]

LET HIM IN.

POOR LITTLE FELLA.

GOT NO HOME.
GOT NOBODY, HAVE YOU?

OF ALL
THE 14-KARAT SAPS...

STARTING OUT
ON A CAPER

WITH A WOMAN
AND A DOG.

IF HE SPOILS
THIS JOB, I'LL--

OH, YOU'RE FULL OF TALK.

I THINK YOU'RE GLAD.

M-M-MENDOZA!

SHUT UP. ONE MOVE
OUT OF YOU, SON,

AND I'LL FILL
YOUR PANTS FULL OF LEAD.

GET OVER THERE.

I--I WILL,
SIR.

OPEN IT UP, QUICK.

[HAMMERS TAPPING
CHISELS]

HOW'S IT GOING?

HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE
WITH THE BOXES.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

GOT A FEW MORE.

THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING.

[PEOPLE CHATTING]

[CAR HORN BLOWS]

GET BACK HERE.

A QUIET, PEACEFUL,
LITTLE HOTEL.

NICE TIME OF NIGHT
TO BUILD A HOUSE.

OH, BOB!

GET OVER THERE.

OH!
SHUT UP.

GO ON, MOVE.
OVER THERE. MOVE FAST.

BOB, MY RINGS. YOU'VE
GOT TO STOP THEM. YOU'VE GOT TO.

LOOK, MY FRIEND.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS.

I--I MEAN YOU
JUST CAN'T DO IT.

SIT DOWN.

YOU WON'T GET HURT.

HEY, YOU.

Y-YES, SIR?

SIT OVER THERE.

GO ON, GO ON,
HURRY UP.

[HONK HONK HONK]

HEIST 'EM, BUDDY.

AAH!

YOU'VE GOT
TO TAKE ME WITH YOU.

I COULDN'T
FACE THE POLICE NOW.

I NEVER THOUGHT
WE'D HAVE TO SHOOT SOMEBODY.

HE WON'T CROAK.
I SHOT LOW.

GO ON,
GET IN THAT CAR.

POLICE! POLICE!

HEY, HE'S TAKING
THE WRONG ROAD.

[TIRES SCREECH]

AAH!

COPPERS WILL GO
TO THE FIRE NOW.

OH, ROY, THOSE BOYS.

SMALL-TIMERS
FOR SMALL JOBS.

THEY LOST
THEIR HEADS.

THIS ONE
WAS JUST TOO BIG.

SAY, FEELING BETTER NOW?

STILL KIND OF WOBBLY.

KEEP THINKING
OF BABE AND RED.

AW, THERE'S NO USE
IN WORRYING ABOUT THEM.

IF THEY DIDN'T KICK OFF,
THE COPPERS HAVE 'EM.

ROY, DO YOU THINK
THEY'LL TALK?

IF THEY DON'T,
MENDOZA WILL, BUT WHO CARES?

I'LL BE TURNING
THAT BOX OVER TO BIG MAC

IN A COUPLE OF HOURS,

AND HE'S GONNA
HAND ME A WAD OF DOUGH.

OH, GEE, THEN WE'LL BE
ALL SET, WON'T WE, ROY?

SURE. YOU GOT QUITE A PIECE
OF CHANGE COMING TO YOU, TOO,

AND I'M GONNA SEE THAT
YOU GET IT RIGHT AWAY...

BECAUSE I'LL BE
BLOWING PRETTY SOON.

GOING BACK EAST, I GUESS.

I'M GOING WITH YOU.

OH, DON'T TALK LIKE A SAP.
YOU STICK AROUND WITH ME,

YOU'LL NEVER BE IN
ANYTHING BUT TROUBLE.

LOOK, ROY,
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,

I'M STICKING WITH YOU.

DON'T THINK YOU'RE EVER
GONNA CHUCK ME SO EASY.

WELL, WE'LL SEE.
COME ON, LET'S GO.

COME ON, PARD.

BUT REMEMBER, IF
THE GOING GETS TOO TOUGH,

I'M GONNA HAVE TO PARK YOU
FOR A WHILE.

I'M GLAD
YOU SAID FOR A WHILE.

THAT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD.

LOOK, IF I REALLY GET
IN YOUR WAY, YOU CAN POP ME.

IS THAT A DEAL?

IT'S A DEAL.

I WON'T BE LONG.

[BUZZ]

HELLO, EARLE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

MAC SENT FOR ME. I FLEW OUT
A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.

MIGHTY SICK MAN, MAC IS.
HE COLLAPSED LAST NIGHT.

HE'S ASLEEP NOW.

HEY, YOU WANNA
READ ABOUT YOURSELF?

TOUGH ABOUT
THE 2 GUYS, HUH?

IT WAS THEIR OWN FAULT.

WELL, THEIR TROUBLES
ARE OVER.

BOTH OF THEM, HUH?

YEAH, MENDOZA
BROKE HIS COLLAR BONE.

HE GOT KNOCKED COLD,
BUT HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

THE POLICE THINK
HE WAS KIDNAPPED.

THEY HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED
BABE AND RED YET.

LET'S GO
AND SHOW THE STUFF TO MAC.

IT MIGHT CHEER HIM UP.

YOU GOT IT IN
THAT SHOE BOX THERE?

YEAH,
AND IT SURE IS HEAVY.

HEY, BOSS, WAKE UP.
EARLE'S HERE.

HE CLIPPED 'EM
FOR A HALF A MILLION.

I SURE COME THROUGH FOR YA.

YOU DIDN'T
SPRING ME FOR NOTHING.

WAKE UP, MAC, WAKE UP.
EARLE'S HERE.

HEY, THIS GUY'S DEAD.

HE'S WHAT?

HE'S DEAD.

YEP. COLD AS A MACKEREL.

KICKED OFF IN HIS SLEEP,
I GUESS.

SAY, WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO WITH THE STUFF?

MAC TOLD ME WHAT TO DO

IN CASE SOMETHING
LIKE THIS HAPPENED.

I GUESS HE HAD A FEELING
HE'D NEVER MAKE IT.

DON'T BE A SAP, EARLE.
MAC'S DEAD, AND WE'RE RICH.

I CAN GET A FENCE
TO HANDLE THIS STUFF.

DON'T YOU SEE IT?
WE'RE RICH.

LISTEN, CHISELER,

I'M STILL WORKING
FOR HIM, AND SO ARE YOU.

I GOT MY INSTRUCTIONS,
AND I'M GONNA FOLLOW 'EM.

USE YOUR HEAD, MAN.
THIS IS A CHANCE OF A LIFETIME.

YOU HEARD ME.

OK. MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

PICO-7719.

HELLO, THIS YOU, ART?
THIS IS EARLE. MAC'S DEAD.

YEAH. HE SAID IN
THE LETTER TO CALL YOU,

THAT YOU WAS
TO DO THE HANDLING.

NOPE. NOPE.
HE--HE JUST KICKED OFF.

HIS HEART.

OK. THANKS.

HAND OVER THAT BOX,
EARLE.

YOU GIVE ME ANY TROUBLE,

AND I'LL FILL YOU
FULL OF LEAD.

I'LL BE REINSTATED
AND GET A MEDAL BESIDE.

JUST WHAT I TOLD
POOR MAC...

A COPPER'S
ALWAYS A COPPER.

WELL, THIS STUFF'S
PRETTY HOT ANYWAY.

HERE IT IS.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I WAS GETTING READY
TO COME AND LOOK FOR YOU.

GET IN THE CAR.
YOU GOTTA DRIVE.

WHAT'S WRONG, HONEY?

BULLET NICKED ME.

GO TO VERMONT
AND TURN RIGHT.

MIGHTY LUCKY, ROY.
A LITTLE HIGHER,

IT WOULD'VE BEEN
CURTAINS FOR YOU.

THAT STUFF SURE BURNS, DOC.

TELL ME, ROY. DID YOU REALLY
CRACK 'EM FOR 500 Gs?

WELL, I CAN'T TELL YA.

THEY ALWAYS KICK UP
THE PRICE AFTER A HEIST,

BUT I GOT PLENTY OF ROCKS.
OH, BY THE WAY,

YOU'LL HAVE TO TRUST ME
ON THE DOUGH ANGLE.

I ONLY GOT ABOUT
50, 60 BUCKS ON ME.

OH, YOU DIDN'T
GET YOUR CUT YET, EH?

WELL, THAT'S ALL RIGHT,
BUT I--

I FIGURE THIS IS
GONNA COST YOU ABOUT 500.

YOU KNOW, I'M TAKING
AN AWFUL CHANCE.

500'S OK WITH ME.

WHEN I NEED HELP,
I NEED IT BAD,

AND I'M WILLING
TO PAY FOR IT.

WHAT ABOUT LITTLE VELMA?

OH, I DON'T KNOW, DOC.

THAT WAS JUST ONE OF
THEM THINGS, I GUESS.

IS SHE--IS SHE WALKING
PRETTY GOOD NOW?

PERFECTLY.

THAT SURGEON FRIEND OF MINE
DID A MAGNIFICENT JOB.

YOU OUGHT TO SEE HER.
IT'LL DO YOUR HEART GOOD.

WELL, MAYBE I WILL LOOK
IN FOR JUST A MINUTE.

I PROMISED THE OLD MAN
I WOULD ANYWAY.

WELL,
YOU BETTER BE GOING NOW.

MAKE A RIGHT TURN HERE.

WHAT ABOUT GETTING
RID OF THE STUFF?

AREN'T WE GOING
TO SANTA MONICA?

SOMETHING I GOTTA DO FIRST.
IT'LL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE.

VELMA?

I PROMISED PA I'D COME
BACK AND SEE HER WALK.

FINE TIME YOU PICKED
TO GO CALLING.

CAN I GO IN WITH YOU?

YOU STAY IN THE CAR.

I'M ONLY GOING IN MYSELF
BECAUSE I PROMISED THE OLD MAN.

YEAH. I KNOW.
YOU SAID THAT.

[I GET A KICK
OUT OF YOU PLAYING]

GEE, MY FOOT GETS STRONGER
ALL THE TIME, LON.

DON'T YOU THINK
I'M DANCING BETTER?

SURE, BABY, YOU'RE PERFECT.
HOW ABOUT A LITTLE DRINK?

OH, NO, LON.

YOU WANT ME TO GET DIZZY
AGAIN LIKE LAST NIGHT?

GOOCHIE, GOOCHIE,
GOOCHIE, GOOCHIE.

YOU THINK
HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT?

SURE. JOE'S A PANIC
WHEN HE'S TIGHT.

YOU SAID IT, BOY!
HA HA HA. LISTEN--

NOW, LOOK HERE.
NOW, LOOK HERE.

I NEVER WAS ONE
TO SPOIL A GOOD TIME,

BUT ENOUGH'S ENOUGH,
THAT'S WHAT I SAY.

[DOOR BUZZER]

OH, WHO'S THAT NOW?

ROY.

HELLO, PA.

WELL,
IS THIS A SURPRISE.

HELLO, ROY! WELL, IT'S
ABOUT TIME YOU DROPPED IN.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

REST OF THE FAMILY'S
OUT FOR A RIDE.

THEY'LL BE SORRY
THEY MISSED YOU.

ROY,
THIS IS MR. PREISER.

HE'S MY--
HE'S FROM BACK HOME.

HELLO, ROY. VELMA'S
TOLD ME A LOT ABOUT YOU.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

WE HAD A COUPLE OF DRINKS
TO YOU THE OTHER NIGHT.

DID YA?
YEAH.

OH, YOU HAVEN'T
SEEN ME DANCE YET.

MY FOOT'S ALL BETTER NOW.
WATCH THIS.

[WHINES]

GO ON, PARD.
GO GET ROY. GO FIND HIM.

THIS IS A FINE PARTY,

LETTING A LADY
DANCE BY HERSELF.

COME ON, BABY.
WHEE! LET'S DO IT.

[GROWLS]

I DECLARE,
WHO'S THAT NOW?

AW, GEE, BAD DOG, YOU.
GEE, I'M SORRY, ROY.

HE--HE JUMPED OUT
OF THE CAR

BEFORE I KNEW
WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

WELL, HELLO.

YOU'RE VELMA,
AREN'T YOU?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, I'M MARIE GARSON,
A FRIEND OF ROY'S.

I FEEL AS THOUGH
I KNOW YOU.

ROY'S OFTEN TOLD ME
HOW NICE YOU ARE.

HAS HE?

OH, SAY,
THAT REMINDS ME.

YOU DID A LOT
FOR VELMA, ROY.

GOTTA PAY YOU BACK.

AFTER ALL,
IT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

FORGET IT.
THINK NOTHING OF IT.

OH, BUT I'D LIKE
YOU TO TAKE IT, ROY.

AFTER ALL, LON AND I ARE
GOING TO BE MARRIED VERY SOON,

AND HE CAN AFFORD IT EASILY.

GETTING MARRIED?

WELL, THAT'S--
THAT'S FINE.

YEAH. YEAH.
THAT'S SWELL.

WELL, I--I GUESS
I'LL BE ON MY WAY, PA.

I'M GOING BACK EAST.

JUST CAME IN
TO SAY GOOD-BYE.

WELL, LET'S HAVE A DRINK
TOGETHER FIRST, ROY,

YOU AND YOUR LITTLE GIRLIE,
AND ME AND MY LITTLE VELMA.

GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME.

I'M SORRY. I--

I DON'T LIKE YOU.

I DON'T LIKE
THE WAY YOU TALK,

AND I DON'T
LIKE YOUR FRIENDS.

I DON'T LIKE TO THINK OF
HER BEING MARRIED TO YOU.

NOW COME ON, ROY.

YOU HAVEN'T GOT ANY RIGHT
TO SAY SUCH THINGS.

LON'S GONNA BE MY HUSBAND,
AND I LOVE HIM.

AND YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS AND
MEAN 'CAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU,

'CAUSE I NEVER WANTED YOU.

I'M SURE SORRY.

OH,
IT'S ALL RIGHT.

MAYBE IT'S
JUST AS WELL

IT HAPPENED
THIS WAY.

GOOD-BYE, PA.

GOOD-BYE.

SOME NERVE HE HAD.

IF IT WASN'T
FOR YOU, DEAR,

I WOULD'VE PUNCHED HIM
RIGHT IN THE NOSE.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
COME IN THERE, MARIE.

I HAD TO, ROY.

YOU THOUGHT OF HER
MORE THAN YOU DID ME.

I JUST WANTED
TO KNOW WHY.

YOU DON'T LOVE HER
ANYMORE, DO YOU?

NO.

IF YOU WEREN'T SURE OF IT,
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ASKED ME.

IF I DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE THEY COME FROM,

I'D THINK
THEY WAS PHONY.

POOR OLD MAC.

THERE HE WAS,
LAYING THERE DEAD

WITH A HALF A MILLION BUCKS
BESIDE HIM.

WELL...

IT'S ALL YOURS,

AND ALL I WANT
IS MY CUT.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT
A FEW DAYS FOR THAT, ROY.

WHAT'S THAT?

NOW, DON'T LOOK
AT ME LIKE THAT.

MY SHARE YOU COULD
PUT IN YOUR EYE.

LARRY'S THE HEAD MAN,

NOW THAT MAC'S GONE.

KANSAS CITY?

THAT'S HIM.
HE'S FLYING OUT.

NOW, YOU LEAVE
THE STUFF WITH ME

AND HIDE OUT
FOR A WHILE.

I CAN HELP YOU OUT
A LITTLE.

YOU AIN'T TRYING TO
PULL A FAST ONE ON ME,

ARE YOU? BECAUSE
I DON'T LIKE FAST ONES.

WELL, TAKE
THE STUFF WITH YOU

IF YOU FEEL THAT WAY.

BUT IT'LL BE LIKE
CARRYING A BOMB AROUND.

OK. GIVE ME A COUPLE
OF HUNDRED BUCKS

AND KEEP THIS.

BUT IF I DON'T GET
MY END,

YOU AIN'T GONNA BE
AROUND LONG.

YOU AND LARRY BOTH.

OH, NOW,
DON'T WORRY, ROY.

YOU'LL GET IT.

HERE'S THE 200.

SAY...

THAT'S WHAT I WANT.

OH...

OH, ROY!

THAT'S A PRESENT.

OH!

OH, ROY...

OF COURSE...

YOU WOULD PUT IT
ON THE WRONG FINGER.

OH...

WELL?

SAME OLD SONG.

NOTHING DOING YET.

I'M GONNA RUN OUT
OF DOUGH

WITH ALL THESE
LONG-DISTANCE CALLS.

WELL, YOU SHOULD'VE
TAKEN THE MONEY

VELMA'S BOYFRIEND
OFFERED YOU.

BUT NO.
"THINK NOTHING OF IT."

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID.

SUCKER.

ROY!

YEAH.
IT DON'T LOOK LIKE

THIS THING'S
EVER GONNA COOL OFF.

LOOK, I'VE BEEN
THINKING THINGS OVER.

I LIKE LITTLE PARD HERE
AS MUCH AS YOU DO,

BUT...WELL,
WHAT ALGERNON SAID

ABOUT HIM BEING
BAD LUCK...

OH, THAT'S A LOT
OF MALARKEY.

WELL, MAYBE IT IS,
AND MAYBE IT ISN'T.

HOW COULD A POOR LITTLE DOG
BE THE CAUSE OF IT ALL?

THAT'S JUST PLAIN DUMB.

SOMETIMES
YOU GET ME CRAZY!

YOU THINK WHEN YOU SAY
A THING, THAT'S THAT!

NOBODY KNOWS NOTHING
BUT YOU!

OK, PARD'S TO BLAME
FOR EVERYTHING.

IT'S ALL PARD'S FAULT.
HAVE IT YOUR OWN WAY.

I DIDN'T SAY PARD
WAS TO BLAME!

I ONLY SAID THERE
MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO IT!

OH, SHUT UP.

DON'T TELL ME TO
SHUT UP, YOU--

OH, HONEY, I'M SORRY.

IT'S HURTING YOU,
ISN'T IT?

NOW, YOU JUST LET ME CHANGE
THIS DRESSING FOR YOU.

SORRY.

IT DON'T LOOK
SO GOOD, ROY.

IT'S ALL RED.

DO YOU FEEL AS IF
YOU HAVE ANY FEVER?

NO, I DON'T
THINK SO.

I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE I HAVE.

THINK I OUGHT TO GO
IN AND SEE THE DOC?

OH, NO.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

THEY MIGHT GET YOU.

YOU CAN'T TRUST
ANYBODY, ROY.

AFTER ALL, $10,000
IS A LOT OF MONEY.

YOU OUGHT TO TURN ME IN

AND LIVE EASY FOR
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

ROY,

EVEN IN FUN...

DON'T EVER SAY THINGS
LIKE THAT.

AHH...

THANKS, SONNY.

GOOD MORNING.

MORNING, MR. COLLINS.

BABY, OUR TROUBLES
ARE OVER.

I'M DRIVING IN
TONIGHT.

I JUST TALKED TO ART
ON THE PHONE.

HE SAID THEY'LL HAVE
MY CUT READY. HOW'S THAT?

OH, GEE, THAT'S GREAT!

NOW WE CAN GO BACK EAST
WHERE WE'LL BE SAFE.

YEAH, AND JUST WHEN I
WAS BEGINNING TO THINK

THEY WERE GIVING ME
THE OLD RUNAROUND.

IT SURE IS EASY TO BE
WRONG IN THIS WORLD.

OH, HONEY. LOVE ME?

AH, YOU BET I DO.

LET HIM OUT,
WILL YOU?

OK.

PAINS?

YEAH. A LITTLE.

LOOK, HONEY,
I'LL DRIVE IN.

NO. NOTHING DOING.

SUPPOSE WE GET
A RUMBLE?

OH, WE WON'T. THEY'RE NOT
EVEN LOOKING FOR YOU YET.

ALL THE SAME,
I'LL DRIVE.

YOU GO AHEAD
WITH THE PACKING.

I THINK THE CAR
NEEDS GAS.

ALL RIGHT.

NICE LITTLE PARD.
NICE LITTLE BOY THERE.

SHAKE HANDS?
NICE PARD.

OH, HE'S A FINE BOY.
NICE LITTLE PARD.

I WANNA SEE YOU.

UH...I'M BUSY.
I GOT A LOT TO DO--

A LOT TO DO
THIS MORNING.

THAT'S A NICE LITTLE DOG
YOU GOT THERE, MR. COLLINS.

I WAS JUST TRYING
TO MAKE UP WITH HIM.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
HIS NAME IS PARD?

WELL, UH...

DIDN'T I HEAR YOU
CALL HIM THAT YESTERDAY?

MAYBE I'M WRONG.

GET IN THERE.

YOU KNOW WHO I AM,
DON'T YOU?

NO. I NEVER
SAW YOU BEFORE.

NOT BEFORE YOU CAME
HERE. HONEST.

WHAT ARE YOU
SO SCARED ABOUT THEN?

OH, PLEASE, MR. EARLE,
PLEASE DON'T KILL ME.

OPEN THAT DOOR.

LOOKING FOR
THAT REWARD, HUH?

LISTEN TO THIS:

"POLICE ARE HOT
ON HIS TRAIL,

"AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
HE'S TRAVELING

"WITH A WOMAN WHO ANSWERS
TO THE NAME OF MARIE

"AND A LITTLE
GRAY-WHITE MONGREL DOG

WHO ANSWERS TO
THE NAME OF PARD."

MENDOZA.

YEAH. HE SQUAWKED.

I SHOULD'VE
TAKEN CARE OF HIM

WHEN HE FOLLOWED ME
OUT OF THE HOTEL.

LOOK AT THE TAG
THEY HUNG ON ME.

"MAD DOG" EARLE.

DAMN NEWSPAPER RATS!

WHAT ARE WE
GONNA DO, ROY?

OW. WAIT A MINUTE...

MARIE, I--I GOTTA
PARK YOU FOR A WHILE

LIKE YOU SAID.

LIKE WHO SAID?

REMEMBER WE AGREED THAT
IF THE GOING GOT TOUGH,

I WAS TO PARK YOU.
YOU SAID IT WAS A DEAL.

OH, NOW, LOOK, ROY...
I CAN'T LEAVE YOU NOW.

I DON'T CARE
WHAT HAPPENS TO ME.

LET'S STICK TOGETHER,
HONEY. LET THE MONEY GO.

FORGET ABOUT IT.
WE'LL HEAD EAST.

WE'LL MAKE IT.
THEN WE'LL BE SAFE.

BABY, YOU NEED DOUGH
TO GET BACK EAST.

I'VE GOT MAYBE
30 GRAND COMING TO ME,

AND I'M GONNA GET IT.

NOW, LISTEN...

I GOT AN IDEA.

I'LL PUT YOU ON THE BUS
TO LAS VEGAS.

YOU WAIT THERE FOR ME.
I'LL GO IN AND GET MY END,

THEN I'LL COME
AFTER YOU.

OH, NOW, LOOK, ROY,
DON'T LEAVE ME.

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME.
I'M SCARED ABOUT IT.

YOU THINK I WANT TO TAKE
YOU IN AND GET YOU SHOT?

BROTHER, WHEN THEY HANG

THAT NUMBER ONE TAG
ON YOU,

THEY SHOOT FIRST
AND ARGUE AFTERWARDS.

I KNOW.

"MAD DOG EARLE."
HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?

THEY'VE TIED ME UP WITH THAT
KRANMER KILLING.

IF THEY GET ME,
I HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE.

BUT THEY
AIN'T GONNA GET ME.

I'VE DONE ALL THE TIME
I'M EVER GONNA DO.

[MOANING]

I'LL TIE THAT GUY UP.

NOW, LISTEN, YOU GO ON
DOWN TO THE STORE

AND GET A BIG BASKET
WITH A LID ON IT.

PUT PARD IN IT
AND TAKE HIM WITH YOU.

OK, ROY.

I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU SAY.

COME ON, PARD.

GET IN HERE.
COME ON.

GET IN.

NOW, WHEN YOU GET
TO LAS VEGAS,

GO RIGHT TO THE
PLACE I TOLD YOU.

DON'T ASK NOBODY
NO QUESTIONS.

I'LL BE WITH YOU
TOMORROW NIGHT

AT THE LATEST.

YOU GOT THAT?

[SNIFFLES] I JUST GOT
A FEELING ABOUT IT, ROY.

I'M AWFUL SORRY
FOR THE WAY I'VE ACTED.

YOU GOT NOTHING
TO BE SORRY ABOUT.

YES, I HAVE.

NAGGING AT YOU AND
FLYING OFF THE HANDLE.

I WISH I HADN'T.

OH...

OH, I LIKE IT. I
MEAN, THAT'S THE WAY

MARRIED PEOPLE
OUGHT TO ACT.

LISTEN, MY MA AND PA

FOUGHT LIKE CATS
AND DOGS

GOING ON 40 YEARS.

I WOULDN'T GIVE YOU
2 CENTS FOR A DAME

WITHOUT A TEMPER.

OH, ROY...
[SOBBING]

[HORN HONKING]

HERE SHE COMES.

HERE. TAKE THIS.

THAT'S ALL YOU GOT, ROY.
I DON'T NEED THAT MUCH.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
YOU KEEP IT. I'M ALL RIGHT.

YOU'RE ALL I GOT
IN THE WORLD.

COME ON NOW, BABY.

I'LL SEE YOU
TOMORROW NIGHT.

COME ON.

[HORN HONKING]

Announcer: TURNING
FROM THE EUROPEAN NEWS,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
A BULLETIN JUST HANDED ME

STATES THAT
"MAD DOG" ROY EARLE

HAS BEEN DEFINITELY
IDENTIFIED

AS THE MAN WHO SLUGGED
THE TOURIST CAMP PROPRIETOR

EARLY THIS MORNING
AT PALMVILLE ON ROUTE 395.

SUBJECT OF ONE OF THE MOST
INTENSIVE POLICE SEARCHES

IN CALIFORNIA HISTORY,

THE BANDIT KILLER
AND HIS COMPANION,

A WOMAN NAMED MARIE,
ARE BELIEVED AT THIS MOMENT

TO BE HEADED
TOWARD LOS ANGELES.

[TURNS RADIO OFF]

CAN I HELP YOU, SIR?

YEAH. GIVE ME A PACK
OF CIGARETTES.

DON'T GIVE ME NO TROUBLE,
YOU WON'T GET HURT.

HAND OVER THE DOUGH
IN THAT CASH REGISTER.

YES, SIR, BUT DON'T GET
NERVOUS NOW.

NEVER GET MYSELF
SHOT UP OVER MONEY.

YOU'RE RIGHT, BUDDY.
YOU'VE GOT SENSE.

HELLO, JOHN.
GIMME A COKE.

LOOK OUT, TOM!
IT'S ROY EARLE!

WHAT IS ALL THIS?

HOLD UP, HENRY.

JOHN THOUGHT
IT WAS ROY EARLE.

BEEN READIN'
TOO MANY OF THEM

DETECTIVE MAGAZINES.

SURE LOOKED LIKE
ROY EARLE'S PICTURE.

IF IT'S EARLE,

HE'S HEADED BACK
OVER THE PASS.

OPERATOR,
GIVE ME 420.

SHERIFF, HOLDEN SPEAKING.

FAIRMOUNT DRUGSTORE
HAS JUST BEEN HELD UP

AND ROBBED BY A MAN
IDENTIFIED AS ROY EARLE.

YEAH, LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM.

[SIRENS]

OK.

PATROL CAR 41 WAITING
ON HIGH RIDGE ROAD.

GOOD. WE'LL HAVE HIM
BOTTLED UP IN ANOTHER HOUR.

[SCREECHING TIRES]

[SIREN]

[SCREECHING TIRES]

[HONKING HORN]

[SIRENS]

[HORN BLARES]

SPREAD OUT, BOYS.

SCATTER AND WATCH YOURSELVES.
HE'S ARMED.

[MACHINE GUN FIRE]

BETTER KEEP
UNDER COVER.

CHARLIE AND SPIKE,

SEE IF YOU CAN
WORK OVER TO HIS LEFT.

IF HE MAKES A MOVE,
LET HIM HAVE IT.

HE'LL NEVER
COME OUT ALIVE.

AW, WE GOT HIM HOLED IN.
I KNOW THIS COUNTRY.

HANK AND SAM,
GO UP TO THE RIDGE. QUICK.

HEY, YOU,
YOU GOT NO CHANCE!

[ECHO]

COME ON DOWN!
WE WON'T DO NO SHOOTIN'.

Roy: COME AND GET ME, BUDDY!
COME AND GET ME!

WHAT'S THE MATTER?
YELLOW?

DEL, SCOUT OUT
THE RANGER'S STATION.

GET SLIM UP HERE WITH
HIS HIGH-POWERED RIFLE

AND TELESCOPE SIGHT.

Radio reporter on speaker:
HIS POSITION PUTS HIM IN COMMAND

OF SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET
OF TERRITORY

BETWEEN HIM AND THE ROAD.

NATURAL ROCK FORMATIONS
SHELTER HIM FROM ATTACKS ABOVE.

IT IS SOME 5 HOURS NOW
SINCE ROY EARLE

TOOK TO COVER ON THE ROCK,

AND THERE'S NO INDICATION
ON HIS PART TO SURRENDER.

THE ROAD UP THE MOUNTAIN
IS A JAM OF TRAFFIC.

SPECTATORS ARE COMING
FROM ALL OVER.

AS I SAID BEFORE,

THE SCENE IS SOME
60 MILES FROM BALLARD.

I MUST GO BACK
THE WAY WE JUST CAME.

IS THERE ANOTHER BUS
GOING BACK SOON?

YES, LADY, THERE'S
ONE LEAVES FROM HERE

IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES.

JUST LIKE ALL DAMES.

SHE DON'T KNOW WHETHER
SHE'S COMIN' OR GOIN'.

IT'S INFERNALLY
COLD UP HERE.

MAYBE IT'S NERVES.

THE ROCK ABOVE,
WHERE EARLE IS HIDING,

LOOKS LIKE
A HUGE ICEBERG.

WHENEVER THE FLARES ARE LIT,

THE FACES OF THE CROWD
GATHERED AROUND HERE

LOOK LIKE WHITE
MASKS OF SNOW.

THEY LOOK DEAD,
ALL BUT THEIR EYES.

HEY, WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOIN'?

IT'S ALL RIGHT,
OFFICER.

I'M HEALY OF
THE BULLETIN.

LET'S SEE
YOUR POLICE CARD.

OK.

THERE HAVE BEEN MORE
RUMORS FLYING AROUND.

ONE IS THAT EARLE'S ABOUT
TO GIVE HIMSELF UP.

ANOTHER, THAT THEY SENT TO
MARCHFIELD NEAR RIVERSIDE

FOR A SQUADRON OF ARMORED
BOMBING PLANES

TO BLAST EARLE OUT.

AND WHILE ALL THIS
IS GOING ON,

THE SHERIFF AND HIS MEN HOLD
CONFERENCE AFTER CONFERENCE.

NERVES OF EVERYONE
ARE GETTING MORE TAUT.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE CROWD
IS GETTING VERY RESTLESS.

HUGE SPOTLIGHTS ARE TRAINED
ON EARLE'S ROCKY FORTRESS.

LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE PLANNING
SOMETHING NEW.

HOWDY, SHERIFF.

HELLO, CHARLIE.

HEY, SLIM.

YEAH.

SEE THAT PEAK
UP THERE?

YEAH.

IMAGINE YOU CAN WORK
YOUR WAY UP ABOVE

WHERE THAT
FELLA'S HIDIN'?

T'AIN'T NEVER
BEEN DONE BEFORE.

STRAIGHT THOUSAND FEET.
I DON'T KNOW.

I'LL TAKE A TRY AT IT.

OH, YES, THERE'S
THE SHERIFF OVER THERE

TALKING WITH A MAN WITH
A QUEER-LOOKING RIFLE.

ANY MINUTE NOW, IT MAY BE
CURTAINS FOR ROY EARLE.

THIS SEEMS TO BE THE COLDEST
PLACE IN THE WORLD TONIGHT,

COLD AND UNREAL.

ONE IS AWE-STRICKEN
BY THE GRUESOMENESS

OF THIS RENDEZVOUS
WITH DEATH--

THE MORBIDLY CURIOUS
ONLOOKERS STANDING BY

AS IF THEY WATCHED A GAME.

THE TALL PINE TREES
CLUSTERED AROUND

LIKE A SILENT JURY.

THE STERN-FACED
OFFICERS OF THE LAW,

WAITING FOR THE KILL.

AND UP ABOVE,
A DEFIANT GANGSTER

FROM A SIMPLE FARM
ON THE FLATS OF INDIANA

ABOUT TO BE KILLED
ON THE SIDE

OF THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN PEAK
IN THE UNITED STATES.

WHAT'S THE IDEA, YOU?
GET BACK WHERE YOU BELONG.

ANYBODY ELSE TRIES THAT
WILL GET RUN IN, SEE?

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO,
SISTER?

WHY'D YOU TRY TO GET
THROUGH THIS LINE?

WHAT'D YOU MEAN TO DO?

HAVE YOU A LITTLE DOG
IN THAT BASKET?

A LITTLE
GRAY-WHITE DOG?

BOY.

HEY.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH HER?

ROY EARLE HAS BEEN
TRAVELIN' AROUND

WITH A GIRL
CALLED MARIE.

SURE, I KNOW.
WHAT ABOUT IT?

MEET MARIE.

HEY, SHERIFF!

SHERIFF!

I GUESS SLIM
COULDN'T MAKE IT.

LISTEN, YOU,
FOR THE LAST TIME,

I'M TELLIN' YOU
TO CALL EARLE.

YOU DON'T GET WISE
TO YOURSELF, I'M GONNA--

WAIT A MINUTE,
GEORGE.

LOOK, MARIE, IT'S DAWN NOW,
AND WE CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.

WE DON'T WANT TO KILL
YOUR MAN UNLESS WE HAVE TO.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL HIM TO COME
DOWN AND SURRENDER PEACEFULLY?

YOU KNOW, IF YOU HELP US NOW,
IT'LL GO EASIER WITH YOU.

I'M NOT THINKING
OF MYSELF.

AW, BE SMART.
JUST YELL UP TO HIM

AND TELL HIM
TO PUT HIS GUN AWAY

AND COME DOWN.

OTHERWISE,
WE'LL GET HIM SURE.

ALL RIGHT.

GO AHEAD AND YELL.

NO, I WON'T.

WHAT'S THAT?

I WON'T, I TELL YOU.

WE'LL GET HIM THEN.

HE'S GONNA DIE ANYWAY.

HE'D RATHER
IT WAS THIS WAY.

GO ON. KILL HIM,
ALL OF YOU.

KILL HIM, KILL HIM.

[CRYING]

OK, LADY,
WE'RE THROUGH.

EARLE, COME DOWN!
IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE!

Earle:
COME AND GET ME!

THERE'S PLENTY
OF YOU DOWN THERE!

I'M TELLIN' YA,
IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY,
COPPER.

[BARKING]

MARIE!

MARIE!

MARIE!

[ECHO]

MARIE!

AAH!

AAH!

[WHIMPERING]

[CRYING]

BIG SHOT EARLE.

WELL, WELL.

[STRIKES MATCH]

LOOK AT HIM LYING THERE.

HE AIN'T MUCH NOW,
IS HE?

MISTER...

WHAT DOES IT MEAN
WHEN A MAN "CRASHES OUT"?

"CRASHES OUT"?

THAT'S A FUNNY QUESTION
FOR YOU TO ASK NOW, SISTER.

IT MEANS HE'S FREE.

FREE.

FREE.
