Original subtitles

Once upon a time

there were three little girls who went to the police academy.

One in Los Angeles.

One in San Francisco.

The other in Boston.

And they were each assigned

very hazardous duties.

But I took them away from all that

and now they work for me.

My name is Charlie.

Breaker on 21.

This is Little Venus passing mile marker number 9

and doin' fine.

Hey, you gals be careful coming down Long Hill, ya hear?

Yeah, there's holes in that old road that have been there

long enough to be national monuments. You copy?

Affirmative. We've got our eyes on the road.

You're on the home stretch so, uh, just keep 'em in there.

Right, Maggie, we'll see you soon.

This is Little Venus, homeward bound and down.

How you doing, Bobby?

Great. How's our gals doing?

Ha-ha. Take a look.

Only 15 minutes behind schedule.

We hauling them paper diapers again?

Ha-ha-ha. Bobby Lee, you are looking at

a million dollars worth of pharmaceuticals.

It's the best contract I ever had.

Pharmaceuticals? How'd we come on an order like that?

Oh, the president of the Fairbridge Company

just happens to be a woman.

A woman? Lucky for us.

There's no luck to it. The price was right.

So was the service.

Yes, ma'am.

Hi. MAGGIE: How you doin'?

Any trouble?

Nope, not a speck.

I'm proud of you both.

That's funny, it fit in Harristown.

Oh, it's probably just jammed a bit.

Bobby Lee, honey, get something to cut that.

Hey, Rick, you got those bolt cutters up there?

You can afford a new padlock

after a run like that, can't you?

Oh, I'm telling you, it was smooth from beginning to end.

The easiest run. That's great, Bobby Lee.

Sandbags? What...?

Well, that's impossible, Charlie.

Impossible or not, Angels, it happened.

Well, how could anyone hijack a cargo that large

without the drivers noticing it?

Well, they loaded up in Harristown at 6 a.m.

Stopped once to help another trucker who had engine trouble.

The only other time was at a truck stop for lunch.

That has to be where it was unloaded.

No way, it would take a full crew 45 minutes

to unload and reload a trailer that size.

The girls were away from their rig only 20 minutes.

Yes, besides, they parked the truck right beside the diner,

along with a dozen others.

It's a very busy stop.

I mean, there are truckers

going in and out of there all the time.

Surely somebody would've noticed.

Well, the drivers must have been in on it.

Maggie Brill says no.

She trusts them.

And I trust Maggie's judgment.

Who is this Maggie Brill?

I knew her husband for years. He was a legend.

A real trucker's trucker.

And after he died Maggie got the idea to start her own line

using only female drivers.

Good for Maggie.

She tried to open one in one of the southern states,

but she had licensing trouble.

And naturally Charlie had connections in that state.

Yes, fortunately I was able to help her get started.

Now, anyway, your job is get down there

and find out exactly how that cargo disappeared,

who was behind the disappearance, and why.

Well, anything we can do to help the lady out.

Well, I don't know about you two,

but I can't wait to get my hands

on some of that southern barbeque.

Kelly, you'll get your chance,

I'm sending you down immediately.

Well, wait a minute, Charlie,

if Kelly's going down immediately,

what are Tiffany and I going to be doing?

Going to school.

School?

What kind of school?

Truck driving school.

I had to ask.

They really do have 18 wheels.

Yep, but the one we have to worry about is number 19.

Which one is that?

The steering wheel.

Uh, do you think he can see us?

He said to wait here.

Yeah, like two bowling pins in the last frame.

Ahh.

One week from today I'm going to stand right where you are

and gamble that you'll stop a foot away, just like I did.

Heh. I tell you what, this is really a tough school.

If you flunk you get arrested for manslaughter.

Whew. You are a very brave man.

Yeah.

Yoo-hoo? Hello?

Hello?

Howdy.

How long have you been standing there?

Just a moment or two.

I hate to think I've been working

on those dirty tires when I could've been

standing up here watching you the whole time.

I'm here to see Maggie Brill.

Maggie Brill? Oh-oh, Maggie Brill.

She's in the office across the way. Uh, up the stairs.

Okay. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Five, six, nine... Or is it two, six...?

Yeah?

Ms. Brill? Yeah.

Hi, I'm Kelly Garrett. Charlie Townsend sent me.

Oh, yeah.

Well, Charlie always had an eye.

What did he send you down here for?

Make his hotel reservations?

No, no, I'm not a secretary, I'm one of his operatives.

There are three of us, all female.

Oh, is that a fact?

Well, good for Charlie.

I knew he was rich and handsome,

Never thought he had that much sense though. Coffee?

Oh, I'd love some. Thank you. Good.

The first thing I did was talk to your insurance company.

I have a transcript here

with a statement your drivers made.

Oh, yeah, I read that. Same thing the girls told me.

Ordinary run, nothing more. You want cream and sugar?

Yes. Uh, there are a few questions I have,

perhaps you can clarify them for me.

Yeah, go ahead.

On the first part of the trip

they ran into a disabled rig on the side of the road.

They pulled over to offer help.

Now, that stop put them behind schedule

for the rest of the trip.

Yeah, well, that's the first rule of the road,

you don't ever pass another trucker,

you know, when he might be in a jam.

Even when you're carrying such a valuable cargo?

Listen, he might have had a heart attack.

How you gonna explain to his wife and his kids about...

About, uh, your valuable cargo? No.

Hm. Good point.

Next one. While they were having lunch at a truck stop

a fight broke out.

And that strikes you as unusual, huh?

Well, sweetie, a well-fed trucker is as likely

to start a fight as other folks

pick their teeth with a toothpick.

That didn't stop my gals anyway.

That fight was over by the time they finished eating.

They left right on schedule.

You make it all seem so routine.

It was.

Except for the fact that a million dollar cargo

was somehow lost between Harristown and here.

It's very bewildering.

Hm. You're bewildered

and I'm just bankrupt.

Well, I wouldn't worry about that.

Charlie very rarely allows his clients to go bankrupt.

It makes collecting his fee so iffy.

Hello? KELLY: Charlie, it's Kelly.

I met with Maggie Brill like you said.

Now I'm headed for that truck stop

to see if I can get a job at the restaurant

where the Venus drivers stopped for lunch.

Good work, Kelly.

Keep on truckin'.

First I'll show you how to uncouple.

Simple twist of the wrist,

pull it out of the way where it'll be safe.

How'd that get around there?

Well, how'd I do?

Good enough.

Woo! All right!

Well, these papers are legit.

You can drive anywhere in the country.

But I got no orders for anywhere in this state.

Or anywhere else for that matter.

Well, that's not quite true.

Charlie talked to the president of Fairbridge Company,

and asked her to give you another chance.

You're kidding?

Nope. Charlie arranged a satisfactory bond

and she agreed to ship an identical cargo down here

via your company.

Well, what's Charlie up to?

Pharmaceuticals are very easy to sell.

Charlie figures whoever took the first cargo

will probably try it again if the bait is exactly the same.

Could be, I suppose.

But couldn't you do the same thing with a dummy cargo?

No. No chance.

If they're as organized as we think they are,

they could have people anywhere.

The drug company, loading platforms. Who knows?

And if we want them to play for real,

we have to play for real.

Makes sense.

All right. Let's go have a drink, huh?

Uh, isn't it a little early for a drink?

Oh, no. Real nice place next door. Come on.

Okay.

Bobby Lee?

Yes?

This here is Kris and this is Tiffany.

Hello. These are our new drivers.

Glad to meet you.

Oh, yeah, you just make sure they have a safe ride.

You having any more trouble with those rear air brakes?

Nope, put a new set of airlines in

just before we made that last run.

Oh, okay, good.

The... The gals are gonna make another run

over to Fairbridge Drugs over in Harristown.

Well, all I can say, Maggie, is,

I got her as ready as she'll ever be.

That's good.

Now you gals go in the next door. Okay?

I'll be right over, all right?

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye. See you later.

Yeah. Bobby Lee, just shift back down into neutral now, come on.

Give me this. I'll take a look at that compressor myself.

Aces high, so there's five bucks.

I got it.

Yeah?

Heh. The same route?

Why are they doing that?

That's dumber than marrying the same woman twice.

Why should we pass up another easy payday?

I say we take it.

Ha-ha-ha. The devil hisself could drive that rig

and still not figure out how we stole his tail.

All our girls are nice-looking, mind,

but, uh, they got a little beef on them.

The fact is, the prettier you are

the more you got to defend yourself with this bunch.

Oh, well, I have never had any trouble in that department.

And I'm a good waitress.

Got my uniform here.

Maybe so, but I'm afraid this place

is just a little too rough.

Well, well, well, lookie here.

Where you been hiding this little lady, Walt, huh?

My name's Bingo, honey,

and you just remember that I saw you first, okay?

I'll remember.

If you'll remember not to put your hands on me again.

I don't like it.

I like her, she's got a lot of spunk, Walt.

Leave her alone, Bingo.

I'm just getting acquainted here.

Then why don't we just shake hands?

I got this brand new pickup right out there in the lot.

Then use it to pick up something else.

Now let go of my hand.

I said, let go of my hand.

Nah.

Hey, hey! Hey, hey.

Care for another dance now?

Just some breakfast would be all right.

Out, Bingo.

Up.

Well, you got any customers bigger than that?

No, he's about the worst we got.

Can you start tomorrow?

I'll be here.

Eight to 5.

Deal.

Okay, gentlemen, load 'em up.

Nice drivin', sailor.

Listen, what is this?

This is stop. You did this.

No, I didn't You want some coffee?

Yeah. You make better coffee than you stopped the truck?

Don't tell me what you're reading, I can guess.

It's Wheels. Nope.

Oh. Then it's The Long Haul... No, Convoy.

Ha-ha-ha. CB jargon.

Just brushing up, but I think I'm ready.

Look out.

Come on, I've been looking forward to this.

Okay, breaker on 21. Breaker on 21.

This is Angel Eyes.

Angel Eyes?

We're westbound on 4, passing mile marker, uh...

Eighty-three.

What's the smoky report out there? Come on back.

I don't believe this.

Angel Eyes, this is Bulldog.

I just cleared 4 and didn't see a bear in the woods.

You turn off on 6 though there's a county mountie

with a brownie on the right shoulder.

Come back.

Thanks, Bulldog. Ten-ten till we do it again.

Care to translate that?

Well, I asked him if there were any police traps

on the road and he said no.

But there was a sheriff's car set up

with a radar unit on Highway 6.

What'd happen if you asked in simple English

and he answered in simple English?

We wouldn't have any fun.

Break for that Angel Eyes.

This is the Candyman.

You got a voice like sweet taffy.

What you doing pushing an 18-legged pogo stick?

Come on.

Angel Eyes, Candyman.

Well, I'm just rolling in this bucket of bolts

until I get out to the shaky side with Twinkle Ann

for my screen test. What's your alibi? Come on back.

Breaker on 21. Angel Eyes, this here's Mother Trucker.

Now don't you be wasting your time

jabbering with that Candyman.

He's got to jockey that rig to support nine kids.

Get off the air, you old biddy.

Watch it, boy. Didn't your mama teach you no respect?

It's a party line. It's one big party line.

It's great.

Bingo, really,

I just served you a full meal and two desserts

not 10 minutes ago.

Well, I know, I know.

I got to build up my strength though.

I got this job I got to do in a little while.

Why cram? I mean, won't they allow you

to stop and eat along the way?

Ain't that kind of job.

I have never seen anybody eat as much as you do.

Thank you.

I'm sure glad I didn't try to flip you.

I thought you learned all that lingo?

Just checking up on a phrase or two.

Do you have any idea what that Curlylocks said to me?

I can imagine.

I pegged him right away for an obscene caller on wheels.

We're going a little fast.

Yeah, I was just going to gear down.

I think this would be a good time to try the brakes.

There's something wrong with the brakes.

It's no use, these brakes are completely gone.

Stay with it.

Tiff, the protector valve.

Okay, hold on.

You did it, girl. That was fabulous.

Ah.

Why don't you get on that CB and get some help out here?

And make it fast. You got it.

Airline from the compressor to the trailer brakes.

How nice.

Yeah, they say when they get old

the pressure sometimes blows a hole in 'em.

Old? Maggie's mechanic said he installed

a whole new brake system in that thing a few weeks ago.

Yeah, well, this mechanic says they're at least five years old.

I told him to put in new hoses.

Well, well, Bobby Lee was so glad to see us

he lied about fixing the brakes.

Yeah, question is, what else did he foul up in this rig?

And we're not even halfway there yet.

If there's one thing I hate it's walking home from a date.

A long ways till quitting time, young lady.

Oh, I'm not a clock-watcher,

it's just that some friends of mine are late.

Mm-hm. Listen, don't expect a trucker

until you see him walking in the door.

Yeah.

What's, uh, sneaky snake?

Uh, hidden patrol car.

Mm, good.

What's a... pair of nickels?

Pair of nickels? Two fives. Fifty-five, the speed limit.

That's good... You really did learn all this stuff, didn't ya?

You bet. I was also the first one in grade school

to learn pig Latin.

Onderful-way.

Onderful-way. Ha-ha.

Tiff, look.

What do you think?

Well, on the first run Maggie's girl

stopped about here to offer help.

Might be a pattern.

Could be.

I asked God to send a tow truck,

but I mean to tell you, I like his way a lot better.

Thank you. What's wrong?

Ah, my motor blew.

Want to use our radio?

Well, that old truck can wait,

but I got two boxes of fresh put-up peaches that can't.

A bakery in the next town's been expecting them

and if they sit out in this heat for much longer

them jars will bust for sure.

If you could just give me a lift. It ain't but 20 miles.

I guess so.

That's mighty charitable of you lovely ladies.

I'll just got them peaches

and put them in back with your load.

No! Oh, no.

Uh, we have orders not to unlock.

Is it just those two little boxes?

Yeah.

Well, they can ride back here in the sleeper.

Good idea. I'll go get 'em.

Suppose he's all part of the hijacking?

I guess we're about to find out.

Neighborly. That's one thing you got to say about truckers.

Male or female, they're down right neighborly.

How long you been a trucker, Mr., uh...?

Willis. Sam.

Sam Willis. Howdy.

Nice to meet you. Hi.

I'm not what you really call a trucker,

I just haul little loads here and there.

Grow these peaches yourself?

Sort of.

How do you sort of grow peaches?

Well, you, uh...

First thing you do is, uh... Uh-oh.

What's wrong?

Sheriff's car is right behind us.

I'm going under the speed limit.

Yeah, I know, but that's the sheriff himself and, uh,

if he sees three of us in this cab

he's gonna pull us over for sure.

Why, is there a law against three in a cab?

Well, it just ain't normal.

Especially if he found my truck back there and did a make on it.

Your truck? In other words, the sheriff doesn't look kindly

upon people that sort of grow peaches?

Afraid not.

I don't get it.

Well, just don't light a match by those boxes, darling.

White lightning?

Uh-huh.

Best in three counties.

Oh, great.

Well, Sam, I'll tell you what.

Best defense is the truth.

We'll just tell him what happened.

Yeah, and I'll back you up.

Don't worry, you'll be cleared.

In a few days.

Days?

Yeah, well, in this state,

anytime they find bootlegged liquor on a moving vehicle,

that vehicle and its cargo

is impounded until they can hold a hearing.

I sure am sorry about this.

Sam?

Don't be sorry, be tiny.

Get back in the cab.

All right.

Well, you better go that way,

I think it'd be easier.

Hurry up.

Aiding and abetting, Charlie's gonna love this.

Well, it's either help a bootlegger

or lose a hijacker.

Hey, Sam?

Yes, ma'am?

Can you use a CB?

Can a coon dog hunt?

Start frequency, honey.

Hi, Smokey. Hi, Bear.

Don't tell me, let me guess.

You're, uh, you're Angel Eyes.

Now how'd you ever know that?

Oh, I've been hearing that voice of yours

just purring at all the drivers on Highway 4

most of the morning.

Well, you ain't gonna write me up for talking, are you?

No. No, I wanna talk some more.

Ten miles back, this blue pickup alongside the road.

You remember seeing that?

Yeah, I saw it.

You was probably the first rig passed.

Was there anybody standing by that truck?

Aw, no. If I'd a-seen somebody,

I'd a-stopped.

Breaker on 19.

Any you gear jammers out there up for a little hell-raising?

You heard me, good buddies,

young fellow paid me for a fast lift with two cases

of some mighty fine shine.

Now, I ain't fool enough to carry this TNT,

so the drinks are on me.

First come, first serve.

I'm on the old Baker road, right by the cutoff.

Just get here before Smokey does.

Whoopee.

And out.

Ain't that nice? Sounds like they're gonna have a party.

Yeah. You drive careful, young lady. Come on.

Always do, sheriff, always do.

Can I come out now, girls?

Come out, and get out.

It's not such a long walk to the next town.

It is when you're carrying two heavy boxes.

You won't be carrying two heavy boxes.

Oh.

But the sheriff's still looking for me.

Well, let's see,

if the sheriff went thataway,

then you can go thataway.

Yeah, I think I get the picture.

I knew you would.

And, uh, Sammy?

Do me a favor.

What?

Don't ask us out for a drink.

Okay.

Bye, Sammy.

See ya.

Goodbye, Sammy.

He really is kind of cute.

Let's go.

You gonna lock it?

Well, the other girls didn't.

Let's go.

Oh!

Well, it's about time.

Boy, the service sure is fast around here.

You're an hour late, what happened?

Brake trouble. Maggie's mechanic tells fibs.

Oh.

Well, take a look at these. I'll give her a call.

She wanted me to let her know when you two got in.

She's even been more worried about you than I have.

Yes, Kelly, hi, they're both there.

Good. Good.

Well, they'll have a good meal and a little rest,

and they'll be in top shape. Yeah.

Thanks a lot for calling, Kelly. Bye.

Yeah?

Yeah, they're inside the cafe.

Now, make it fast.

Could be these two ain't slow eaters like my other gals.

Block off both roads leading to the truck stop.

All right, Al, your turn to be the victim.

Lie down, start howling.

Sitting there blowing your horn ain't gonna get anything done.

If you're in that much of a hurry, give me a hand.

Soon as that highway's clear,

they're gonna be pouring in here.

Good? Mm.

This is great, it's terrific.

I'm having the same thing she's having.

No, you're not.

No, I mean, after I finish my chicken,

I'd like to have one of those steaks.

Oh, Kris.

All right, we got 45 seconds,

now, let's move it.

You. Outside.

You got it.

All right, Sonny, break it up.

Here you go.

Hm. Oh.

Listen, I kind of lost my appetite

after your floor show out there.

Hi, Bingo.

How you pretty ladies doing today, huh?

Sit down, I'll fix you a banana split.

Thank you, hon.

You sure do have the animals trained well around here.

Just that one, he's afraid I'll break his arm.

Time to go. Let's go.

Okay, y'all go on and I'll take care of your check.

All right.

Psst.

Be sure and leave yourself a big tip now, honey.

Okay.

Bye.

Here you go.

Oh, you're too good for me, babe.

I certainly am.

Bingo, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Brawling in a public place like this.

There wasn't nobody hurt out there.

I mean, Freddy and I, we've been buddies for a long time.

He's just doing a job like me.

You?

Yeah, I told you I had this job to do.

Freddy had one too. That was it.

You mean, somebody paid you two to fight each other?

Yeah.

We've done it before.

Like when?

Couple weeks ago.

Well, who paid you?

I don't know, there's this...

There's this guy, gives some money to Red,

and Red divides it up among everybody else.

Hey, babe?

A menu, huh?

I'm hungry enough to eat napkins.

Been sittin' on that highway near half an hour.

Breakdown?

No, a couple of heaps smashed up.

Blocked the highway.

At least you didn't have to clear 'em out of the way.

Somebody spilled a whole load of oil drums

all over the road coming north.

My back is still aching.

Bingo?

Who else does Red divide this money with?

Oh, there's, uh, a whole lot of guys.

I mean, like, Al and Tim, like, they, uh...

They crash up old cars and, uh,

Abner, he spills his load.

In other words, they keep anyone from coming into

or leaving the parking lot?

Yeah.

Then, see, Fred and I, we...

We fight right there in front of the door and, uh,

ain't nobody gonna go past us.

Did you ever ask anybody why they wanted you to do this?

Nope.

Not as long as they pay me.

Do you have a CB in your new truck?

Mm. Real beauty.

Bingo?

How'd you like to be on my payroll?

Where would I enlist for that?

Just come on.

Shotgun. What?

I can't remember if shotgun means your partner

or a radarscope.

In these parts, I believe it's often associated with marriage.

Coffee? Yeah, thanks.

You just talk into this?

Uh, yeah, press it...

Who do you wanna talk to?

The girls in the Venus rig.

Oh, uh, you talking about Angel Eyes.

Everybody knows her frequency.

Uh, hello there, breaker on 21,

you got Bingo boy here.

Yeah, I got somebody here who wants to talk to Angel Eyes.

Come on back.

Sorry, Bingo boy,

Angel has to keep her eyes on the road at the moment,

but, uh, do call again soon.

Oh, Tiff, this is Kelly.

We're only a few minutes behind you.

I want you to pull over and check your load.

Break the lock if you have to.

Well, sure, Kel, but why?

Because I think you're hauling sandbags.

Well, it was just like you said, sandbags.

Enough to make it ride like a real load.

How do they do this?

We were only away from the truck for 20 minutes.

Well, they could've switched it.

Not just the cargo, but the whole trailer.

That's pretty elaborate. Somebody would've seen them.

Not if the whole parking lot was sealed off.

You said Bobby Lee lied about installing new brakes?

He sure did.

The man who fixed our hose said this gear was 5 years old.

Bingo, would you take a look?

You bet.

Well, looks like you got some real nice stuff here.

Brand spanking new as far as I can see.

Bobby told the truth. He fixed this rig.

Then it was switched to the one you drove this morning

and switched back this afternoon.

And somebody's got themselves another million dollar load.

And that truck stop is at a crossroads.

How are we ever gonna find them?

Well, maybe we aren't.

But I bet some good buddies of mine could.

Bingo, would you mind watching the rig?

Promise to take real good care of your pickup truck.

Well, I don't know, that... Thanks, buddy.

Thanks.

Listen, y'all...

You drive real careful, okay?

Let's go!

And I know it sounds awful silly,

but it seems I lost the trailer off my little old rig.

Now, you wouldn't think a girl could lose a thing like that,

now do you?

But darned if I can't find it anywhere.

Come on back.

Angel Eyes,

you gotta pardon me for laughing,

but I heard a lot of tales up and down these bricks,

and none of them near as wild as that. Come back.

Breaker from the old jawbreaker.

That little lady's tale ain't so wild,

I passed the Venus rig not five minutes ago.

It didn't seem right to me not to see a gal driving.

They was heading south near King's Bridge. Come back now.

King's Bridge. Thanks a lot.

Negatory, Angel Eyes, negatory.

Lazy Dog,

I'm at Mile Marker 133 heading north.

I'm also on top of King's Bridge,

and no Venus rig's come by me.

Must've turned off on State 21.

Good luck, Angel Eyes. See you on the flip-flop.

All right, Lazy Dog, thanks a lot.

Okay, King's Bridge is right up ahead...

Uh-oh.

It leads into an awful lot of back country roads.

We're not gonna get help from your CB buddies back there.

Breaker, breaker, good buddies, this is Angel Eyes,

who's gonna be doing a lot of crying

unless one of you helps me find my little old trailer.

Come on, I'm going up and down the channels

tell him I said to tell if one of you happens to see my rig,

just give a holler.

This is Angel Eyes,

clearing 21 and stepping down.

Breaker on 21. Angel Eyes?

This here is Mother Trucker,

I think I just found that little old trinket you lost.

Passed by me just a few minutes ago.

Come back.

I love you, Mother.

Listen.

I heard a noise outside.

I didn't hear nothing.

Did you hear that?

No.

Come on!

Hold it!

Hold it. A doctor.

I need a doctor!

You need a Band-Aid is more like it.

Which we will gladly provide

as soon as you tell us who rigged this southern shell game.

Hi. Hi.

Ah, well, where you two been?

Oh, well, first we lost our brakes.

Then we got mixed-up with the most charming bootlegger.

After that... Where'd she come from?

It's a long story.

Oh, well, I'll tell you what,

why don't you give him the key

and then we can talk while he's unloading the trailer, okay?

It's unlocked.

It's unlocked? Oh.

Well, that's a fast way to lose a cargo.

Well, as a matter of fact, in this particular case,

we picked up a couple of pounds.

Uh, Bobby Lee,

go ahead, honey. Will you open that up?

Okay, boys, end of the line.

Sorry, Maggie.

Not nearly as sorry as I am.

The sheriff is right behind us, Maggie.

Would you like to wait in the office?

Why not?

I spent my whole life waiting in some freight office,

waiting for some load of solid gold to come...

rumbling in.

It's just too bad you thought stealing your own cargo

would bring you that gold, Maggie.

You know, you really blew it.

You could've proved once and for all

that women can do anything men can do.

I blew it?

No, I...

I've been proving that my whole life.

And I just done it again.

You know, because if Charlie had sent a man down here,

like I figured,

he'd be out on that highway right now.

Just a-mumbling to hisself.

You know? Huh?

You got it.

That about wraps it up, Charlie.

Oh, except for one thing.

We can't understand why Maggie was stealing her own cargo,

and still called you to investigate the crime.

Very good question.

Break 10, over to you, Chuckling Charlie. Come back.

Now, don't tailgate me, Bubbling Bosley.

The truth is, Angels,

when Maggie started the line,

I loaned her the money.

But she preferred simply to manage the line

with an option to buy.

She had to call me.

Not to ask for help, but to report the hijack,

since I own the Venus Trucking Company.

Well, shut my mouth.

That's not a bad idea, Angel Eyes.

What?

I heard this morning

that traffic is very slow on Highway 4

because all the truckers are busily hunting

for your frequency.

I believe it. I believe it.

And Tiffany?

A young man left a large box for you at the Venus office.

I didn't know you were so fond of peaches.

Oh, and Kelly?

Would you please write to someone named Bingo

at the cafe? It seems he's off his feed.

Well, 10-4, Angels.

When I decide to take over the Teamsters Union,

I'll simply turn you three loose on the highways again.

You got it. Oh, boy.
