- To much shine around here Leroy.

You better make a run into Springfield tomorrow

sick engine or not.

- Yes sir mister Hammer, wish we

could get old JB to drive to drive for us though.

- Nah, we don't butter

the bread thick enough for JB Johnson.

- What'll this thing do?

- What won't it do?

Quart mile at nines over a hundred and sixty.

With doubt that's how we're going

to nationals with this one.

- Where the hell did you get the money for this JB?

- Gabe, I owe it all to you.

A couple of weeks ago I was looking everywhere

for you to buy you a drink a whiskey,

I even looked under this wet old smiley rock

and there in a tin can was all that money.

- You running shine again for somebody ain't you JB?

- Now Gabe you know I wouldn't

mess around running shine again.

That stuff could get a man killed.

- Oh my God.

- Betty.

Sis you stay here, you hear me?

- You guys shake a leg, let's got out of here.

- So I know you'll find a place for him lord

and forgive his sins and may his girls

find forgiveness in their hearts

for those strangers that took their daddy away.

And so watch over these innocent children

we pray in the name of the father and the son, amen.

- Thanks for coming preach Akin.

- Dorothy it was a real shock, terrible thing.

Must have been hijackers from out

of the county I'd guess.

- my sentiments exactly.

- Somebody step in something?

- People are curious about what your gonna do Dorothy,

what your plans are and all?

- Ain't gonna do nothing.

- You're not gonna stay on the farm?

- It's where we were born, it's our home.

- Well I know but I just can't see you making

a living out of that old stony land.

- Well don't you worry about it,

cause we'll make out just fine.

- If you girls decide to move you can call on me.

Just anything I can do, anything at all.

- This is the last of paps whiskey.

I'm afraid it's all I got to pay you with.

- Well Dorothy I'll think of your

old daddy with every sip I taste.

Now you think about what I told you.

- I bet he empties

that bottle before he rounds the first bend.

- Oh man I sure hope you girls ain't

planning to go back in business.

- And if we decide we want to?

- Don't let me catch you at it.

- Mind the grease.

- I have a job to do you know.

- Then put Jack Starkey in jail.

- Have you got any proof?

- Proof?

We just finished burying it.

- Starkey was in Springfield that whole day,

now I checked up on him.

- Sure, of course he was Larkin.

- He don't do his own killings.

- Look there are a lot of people didn't like your daddy,

Dotty I'm sorry but that's the truth.

I'm gonna find out who did it

and I'm gonna take care of 'em legal.

That's a promise.

- Well if you don't we'll take care of it the Hammer way.

And that's a promise.

- Sissy.

How much money do we have left?

- About 100 dollars in the bank is all.

- That's just great.

- But we're not moving off the farm.

We're not going to work for Jack Starkey

and we're not kissing anybodies rear end in this world.

- What are we gonna do?

- We're gonna borrow some money.

Somewhere.

And we're gonna put that still back together.

- Maybe Mr. Green wants to give us some money?

- Lawyer Green?

- Yeah he called this morning.

I forgot.

- That's okay, what did he want?

- He said to come in and see him as soon as we could.

- Figure that one out, now that's a weird old guy,

what do you suppose he's up to?

- I don't know, but let's go to town and find out.

- Say what are you lovelies in town

without a he man to protect ya?

- You know what, we'll hire him.

- How about letting me take you

to the fireman's ball Saturday night?

Hi there Sissy, you're looking more gorgeous everyday girl.

- Straight ahead sister.

- Hey Dotty wanna see my trophy?

- I wouldn't wanna see what every girl in Humphry seen.

- No this here one, best time in Springfield yesterday,

1485 in the quarter.

- Well my, my.

- My, my, my you're looking good this morning,

how's that mean old daddy of yours,

he still won't let me on his land?

- When did you say that dance was?

- You wanna go?

Saturday, I'll pick ya up at eight.

- Well, have a seat ladies.

I try my, woke up anyway.

- How's Mrs. Green?

- Oh feisty as ever.

Now, did anybody see you come in here?

- Why, what's the big mystery?

- I am going to read you this letter.

And when I am finished I want you

to forget that we ever had this conversation.

Agreed?

- Alright.

- Dear daughters,

if Ovey Green is reading this to you,

then it means things aren't so good for your daddy.

More than likely I haven't left much

money but I did leave you something.

Just the same you will have to dig for it.

- Starkey's looking for you.

Where you been?

- Busy.

How about you Sweetwater?

Still hanging around the grade school?

- You know a fellow can't hardly

drive a car if his eyes are all swol shut.

- That's true, then you can't swol

eyes if your arms are broke.

Thanks anyway.

- Hi there JB.

- Mayella, my, my aren't you grown up.

Say you know there's something

I always wanted to ask you Mayel?

- What's that?

- What do you call the other one?

- You.

You going up stairs?

- Uh huh.

- Okay.

Mr. Starkey, JB Johnson's here.

He asked you to wait.

- Well I think I'll just go on up anyway.

- Well you do just about any old thing you like, don't you?

- Most generally Mayella.

Why, what'd you have in mind?

- They take after their daddy that's for sure.

She must be up to something.

She said they gonna stay on the farm,

well we gotta do something about

that because you said they'd leave

after you got rid of their daddy.

- Preacher why don't you shut your mouth huh?

Honey I think maybe that'll take care of everything okay?

Now you collect you're things, you can go.

I sure did like that massage part, that was good.

Maybe we can do that again sometime huh?

That's really nice.

Okay, I'll tell you what we'll settle up then,

if you know what I mean.

You dumb son of a bitch don't you ever say

anything like that in front of anybody, you hear me?

- I know what I said.

- You don't know anything, now you understand?

Now what I want out of you is

to be their friend the preacher to them girls.

Alright?

- Yes sir.

- And you go you there every chance you get

and you console them.

- Yes.

- And you come back and you

tell me everything they say, alright?

- I surely will Mr. Stark.

- Yeah, that's for your building fund,

or what ever you call it this month.

- Thank you Mr. Starkey, the lord praise your generosity.

- Go on, get out.

- Times up.

- Well JB, you do push a man don't you?

Come on in, come on, come on.

- Yeah I guess I'm just naturally pushy.

Were you taking up bible study?

- Oh you mean the preacher?

Just a little donation, us leading

citizens, we have responsibilities.

Did you ever hear that word?

- Yeah I heard it but I forget.

- You were supposed to make a run this morning weren't you?

- Well it's still morning and here I am.

- I believe I'd had you hung out our bait

a long time ago JB if you weren't such a good driver.

- I am the best fire cracker driver in

this whole state and you know it.

- I just can't figure you out

you either crazy or you just plain don't give a damn.

- There ya go.

Now where's the car?

Federal officers.

- Blow out his damn tires.

- Now it's the time for the big move.

Thanks old stump.

- 11, 12, 13, stop.

And you're there, shit.

- Now do you wanna admit we made

a mistake somewhere down the hill?

- Entrance all covered up over with ferns and brush.

- Oh come on, there ain't nothing on

this ground except dead leaves.

- Wait a minute.

The ground, that's it.

Get over here.

Come on Sissy.

- Wow look at the cheeses, what is all this?

- This honey is our inheritance.

- Why I just wonder

how much all this stuff is worth.

- Aged whiskey like this in at today's

prices has got to be worth thousands.

- You're joking me?

- No I'm not.

Thousands and thousands of dollars,

honey it's a blessed fortune.

- What do you think about us,

well you know just taking a few of these jugs,

three are five corners, filling 'em up,

giving the boys a little sample, just give

a little sip to Spooner,

another little taste to fat John Riggs?

- Good idea.

- Word will get around fast.

- Faster the better.

- The only thing that worries me is.

You know I just hate to give this stuff away.

- You give 'em as much as it takes,

when you're in a war you gotta shoot ammunition.

- Well you're right about one thing,

we are in a war and this sure is mellow stuff!

- Well ladies here's to our pap.

- That do it to you?

- That's nice, that's nice, have some.

- He sure did make good shine.

- Shine?

Honey that ain't shine, that's real prohibition bootleg.

- What's that?

- Don't you remember paps letter?

Look.

During prohibition my partner Henry Starkey,

that's Jack Starkey's father, turned me in for reward money.

I went to prison for five years but first I tucked

away a truck load of prime whiskey for my girls.

It's real fine whiskey so sell it dear.

And get yourselves out of these hills,

life is to hard and the men are mean and ignorant.

Good luck and take care of little Sissy.

You're loving pappy.

She'll be alright.

Come on over and join me for a drink.

- Yes ma'am.

You got a good idea every now and then.

- Glad you approve.

Think we'll have much trouble selling this?

- Honey I thought I died and went to heaven.

- Hey you two, come here.

Look.

- Hey!

- Well you know what?

I figured pap was to smart an old wood chuck.

There's always another entrance to a burrow.

- Come on, let's see where it goes.

- Okay, Here, wait a minute.

- Oh Dot, you're not gonna believe this.

- Do you see light?

- Yeah I can see it.

- Keep crawling.

- Hey, where are we?

- I don't know.

You know what?

Couple of rifles up here we could hold off 20 men.

- We might have to.

- I'm scared.

We need some guys.

- We will be alright.

- JB Johnson might help us.

- You might be of some help yourself,

get on back down there and blow those candles

out before we blow the whole place up.

- Sissy's right, we do need a man.

And besides JB's always been just plain silly about you.

- No.

- Well why not?

You know he's the best driver.

- I said no.

JB Johnson is a no good smiling skunk

and you can't rely on him.

Besides you know one of these days

he's gonna come to a bad end.

- Well Larkin how's business?

- JB.

- Uh huh.

- Is this yours?

- No mines in town getting a lube job.

- Oh I see.

Got anything in the trunk?

- No.

- Come on JB let's take a look.

Let me have a look, come on.

- Satisfied?

- Shut it up.

Oh my.

Modified?

- No, stock.

- You know JB I'm gonna have to look underneath in the back.

- Suite yourself.

- where do you keep the papers on this thing?

- Under the visor where they usually are.

Say you sure you wanna get under this thing?

- You just put something under the rear end.

- What are these tanks here JB?

- What tanks are those?

- These two tanks here, two of 'em right up under the frame.

- Oh those tanks, those are extra gas tanks.

- Gas?

- Yes you know, gas prices being what they are.

They save money filling up at cheap stations.

- They?

- The company I make deliveries for.

- Get me up.

- Sorry.

- That company that you make deliveries for,

you think I'm stupid JB?

- No sir.

- You think I don't know who hires mercenaries like you?

- Mercenaries, that's a hard word sheriff.

- Gun runners, killers, people by high, moonshiners.

I suppose you think I don't

know what's going on behind my back.

Hell I know you got a fist full of phony papers in there.

I got my eye on you JB, nothing goes

on in this county that I don't know about, nothing.

- I know.

- You make one small mistake

I'm gonna be all over you like a pack a dogs.

Oh and you can tell that company

that you work for I got eyes in the back of my head.

- I will.

- I'll tell you something, I don't miss a thing.

- I know you don't.

- Get this outta here.

- Just get right back in, hush up.

- Hey that's not very lady like Dot.

- Well I'm no lady so don't push your luck.

- Whatever you say.

I just come by to express my condolences.

And make you a business offer.

- I don't want your dirty condolences.

- Aw come on now Dot you know we can talk this thing over.

Sensibly.

You know I'd like to rebuild your daddy's old still

and I'll pay you double regular wages to run it for me.

- We don't need your filthy money.

- Oh?

And how you all gonna live?

- Hounding the hogs Starkey.

- Hound the hog?

How growing turnips?

- Maybe Sweetwater and his killers screwed up Starkey,

maybe they missed some of paps whisky.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- I ought blow that mutts head off.

- You do and you'll be walking bow

legged the rest of your life.

- Put that damned thing away you fool.

- Two bit whores.

- watch out!

- What she mean you missed some whiskey?

- She's lying I got it all.

Jesus I think I'm bleeding.

- I don't give a damn what you doing, I'm gonna

find out what going on around here, you understand me?

- Uncle Bill.

- Hey JB what do you say?

Where you been at whole time?

- Oh I've been in Springfield for a couple of days.

- Ya?

- Bill what have you been drinking?

- This and that.

- Why don't you try some musketell, it'll be an improvement.

- Aw thank you JB you know

Or else your gonna end up the blaze a shit you hear.

- Damn.

- Not to bad.

- What difference does it make?

You get a better price for it

than that swill you peddle for Starkey.

About 50 percent better.

- Well maybe.

- I'll take 50 percent less.

- Not very good business.

- Tom a woman has to give to get,

when she's just starting out.

- Well, maybe I could some on consignment.

- About 50 gallons.

- No, no, no, ten.

How'd you like to have a beer?

- Thank you.

- You have some foam on your lip.

Let's dance.

- Kay.

- Well our sales are down almost 25 percent in

south commutes, and it's almost as bad in the north.

You know what that means?

- Actually.

- That means gentlemen that we got competition,

competition that nobody warned me about.

- Well I asked 'em and they just said

that business was falling off is all.

- Falling off?

Business is falling off why you dumb idiot.

Them Hammer girls are making deals right under our noses.

And what the hell are they selling anyway?

4 1 this is Larkin, we're through out here.

Kate, Jim go on home.

If you want me I'm gonna be at my place.

- Roger, 10 4.

- And don't you worry, I'll look into it.

- You know Larkin you're really good at running

in drunks and keeping that uniform stiff

but when people get shot around here

your always just looking into it.

Why is that?

- Mind the car.

- Probably works for Starkey to.

- Larkin, oh no good.

- Everybody in Humphrey that works

for him kisses his rear end.

- Well I don't know about that.

- No, all you know is cars and girls

and going as fast as you can with both of 'em.

- Hey wait a minute.

Calm down you sound like I'm responsible

for your house getting shot up.

- If you had any sense of responsibility you'd want

to see Starkey tared

and feathered and run to of this county.

- I'm not responsible for enforcing the law around here.

- That's right, cars and girls, hot pants

and no guts, good old JB Johnson.

- What do you mean no guts?

I was in the army.

- You were in jail to.

- That was a mistake.

- You are the mistake, you should never

have been hatched you, you chicken shit.

- I am no chicken shit.

- Prove it, help us fight Starkey.

What is the matter with you?

You were in that house, you have a stake in this now.

- My being in that house was

just an accident, a stake in what?

Wait a minute, nobody's after me.

Besides how do you know it was Starkey huh?

Cause I'll tell you if it was Starkey he's got an army.

So what can I do?

Look I can get myself killed if that's what you want.

Go ahead you just wait around there and I'll go get killed.

Woman what do you want from me?

and you get over there and you just get yourself

a big long scrub brush

and you use some of that lice soap to.

- Just like a dang God woman, screaming

and hollering just as plain as a ass on a goat.

- Dot Starkey's on the phone.

- What do you want?

- Hi Dot, this is Jack Starkey.

Look honey why don't we cut out the bullshit huh?

Now I know you've been working my dealers

and taking my business away from me.

I know what you got and I want it.

you that you can take your deal and stick it where

the sun don't shine mister.

- God damn you!

You can't talk to me like that!

- Well you know folks don't seem

to be buying whisky much lately.

- Is that so?

- The sheriff seems to be hanging

around and folks are smelling a raid.

- Could be.

- I decided not to take anymore

orders for now, sort of lay low.

- I don't think that's gonna make Starkey real happy.

- Well you'll find somebody else.

- Well I sure hope business picks up for ya.

- Take several.

- I sure hope some good things happen for ya.

- Well thank you Sweetwater that's right nice of you.

Don't touch that!

- Tom Scudins is in that bag.

- Is not.

- Is to, I seen it, ew.

- Well your side scored two points tonight.

But I want you to know my sides not about to quit.

- My side, what the hell are you talking about now?

- They just burned Tom Scudins

all to chitlins and your buddy Harley?

He's squashed like a bug under a mustang.

- What?

- Thought maybe you'd like to know

what kind of company you been keeping.

- Come on back to bed JB.

- Go ahead.

- Looks like you already know.

- Dotty, Dotty, Dotty!

Dotty come.

- I knew the minute Dotty brought me

out here I was gonna end up a blaze of shit.

God damn women.

Damn son of a bitch a yellow car.

- I figured Harley was getting that ready for you.

- It's evidence isn't it?

- I had a 2,000 dollar engine and 800 dollars worth

of tools in that garage, Larkin would have tied

all of it up for evidence so I made a few changes.

I dragged Harley under an old Chevy.

- That's against the law.

- So is making moonshine and a million other things.

- Are you changing sides JB?

- I never had a side until now.

- Okay, if you're gonna be in on this

I guess you ought to know what it's about.

Come on.

- Where they going?

- Why don't you just mind your own business?

And get in there and clean up those dishes.

- Shit, you remind me of my

fourth wife, used to pay me while kep.

- Yeah it's good, but it's nothing

worth getting killed over.

Look we gotta get rid of all of

this stuff as quick as we can.

- Maybe, and maybe not.

- What do you intend to do,

make runs to Springfield in that Mustang?

- That's right, I'm gonna deal with Starkey's

own buyers and I'm gonna squeeze him right out.

- Is that so?

Well tell me what's the buyers name?

And where ya gonna find him?

- I'll find him and nobody asked you

for any of your smart advice, I'm doing this my way.

- You know you really are something, you know that lady?

And I suppose you intend to do all your own driving to?

- That's right.

- 324 is the shortest way to the county

line then state 15 to Beasley,

there are fewer choke holds that way.

- I know the way to Springfield JB.

- Maybe you can tell me what's

up ahead beyond this Billboard to.

- You think you know everything don't you?

- Just about.

- Ha, oh brother.

- Steady 55 all the way, the whole idea

is not to draw attention.

No sharp turns, no fast corners,

you're just another little

house wife out to the super market.

And keep checking your rear view mirror.

You keep checking cause if they come they're

gonna come fast and then you're gonna have to floor it.

Then we'll see what kind of driver you really are.

Hey, what's going on?

- I don't recognize them and they came up fast.

- It's a road runner, it'll over see ya.

We gotta make it spin out.

- Do you know who it is?

- Look there's a dirt road up ahead beyond

that gas station, it'll lead to the interstate.

- Yeah I know that road.

- Shift down when I tell ya.

Shift down, now, now.

We still got him.

If we make him spin out we can lose him.

Take the left fork.

Left take the left one!

- Shut up!

- Look out.

- Leave me alone!

Why did you keep yelling at me like that?

- Because I was trying

to keep you from doing what you did.

- Well you made me nervous.

- Well you practically made me dead.

Look it ain't gonna be long

before Starkey finds out that we're not at

the bottom of that lake like fish food you know.

- So what?

The sooner the better.

- Listen girl we don't have much time,

I'm going to town, I'm gonna get a truck

and we're gonna move that merchandise tonight.

- Is that so?

Well I ain't running.

- Well then you just do what ever the hell you wanna do.

I'm gonna be at the Candy Apple,

everything I got is tied up in that car.

- Don't I know it.

- And what's that supposed to mean?

- It means you can go back to your teenage nitwits

anytime you want because I don't give a shit.

- Oh yeah well let me tell you I'll take

a warm loving teenage nitwit any day

to a cold old dried up maid like you.

- Shut up!

- Makes out she's tougher than a man,

no smiles, no laughs, no love.

- Shut up you chicken shit!

- Why don't you just admit it,

you're scared of men, you hate men.

- Shut up!

I'm so tired of it.

I can't do it by myself.

- I'm sorry.

- Walk with a righteous.

Hello old feller.

- Well it's just a plain old accident, that's all it was.

Everybody knows that JB Johnson

is a damn fool driving anyway.

Well look at here.

Where ya been, the pram eating preacher?

- I've been to a prayer meeting as a matter

of fact I have Mr. William Hammer here have

a matter of very great importance to discuss with you.

- Yeah what is it?

Mr. William Hammer here has discovered a gold mine.

A liquid gold mine.

- So as far as Sweetwater's concerned

we're fish food by now.

- Jesus.

- Well I've decided we're gonna do it JB's way.

Load up every last case and barrel on a truck,

take it to Springfield, sell it then just disappear.

- They'll rob us blind over there.

- They won't, JB knows a lot of people

in Springfield we'll get top dollar.

Where's your uncle Bill?

- He went to town with the preacher.

He was drinking to.

- Well that mangy old fart,

and I told you Dotty about him didn't I, I told you

- Just a minute, are you sure he was drinking?

Well where'd he get it, where did he get.

Oh shit.

- What now?

- Trade in your old pick up JB?

- I'm just helping a friend do some house moving.

- Your friend drive a green road runner?

- Where the hell is JB?

He said he'd be here by now.

- Don't you worry about him, he'll be here

- Witness says there was another car after you,

a green car?

- I didn't see no green car.

- Green, G R E E N.

- Now I'm gonna ask you once more

and it's gonna be the last time.

Where are the rest of them?

- You know what you can do?

- I know what I can do.

You give me about five minutes with

her in that bedroom I'll find out.

- Now don't hurt her.

- You shut your face.

And if the rest of you morons can keep your

minds off this little whores pants

long enough maybe we can do what we come out here for.

Now go and load the truck.

Well move!

- Now don't hurt her now you hear.

- Oh shut up you.

- Well come on, what are you standing

around for, get the lead out.

- Sweetwater, see they get the truck loaded

and then you and and Tony go into town.

Be sure you see the round, you understand?

- Alright.

Well get moving!

What's the matter with ya?

make a lot of money, you know that?

- I told ya the same thing 10 times,

Adios.

is five to ten years, I bring in suspected

stolen vehicles three to five years.

years contributing in the delinquency of a minor.

you're gonna be an old man when you get out of prison,

I can nail you with any one of these.

Won't you ask us how we spend our day?

- I feel the wander lust already.

- Good, have a nice trip.

- Let's get the hell outta here.

- I'm with you.

- Why ya letting them drive off

I wanted them arrested, they stole my whisky.

- What whisky was that?

- Sheriff I found this in the hidey hole.

- You got no right to go looking in my car.

- That's a 32 colt.

I'll bet you there aren't three of them in this state.

- Sheriff can I talk to you a minute?

Alone?

You know sheriff I know an awful lot

of people around here, you know that

and if you saw fit to play ball with me

if you now what I mean why I could assure

you that you would become a big man in the county huh?

- I am a big man.

Is this your weapon?

- I never saw it before.

Coon hunters found uncle Bill in the swamp

this morning, dog dug him up.

He had little holes in him, four little bullet holes.

- Look sheriff.

- Put cuffs on him, will you Jim?

- So what we gonna do when we get to Springfield JB?

- After I get my hand fixed we'll look for your sisters.

And then we'll get rid of some merchandise.

- You know why don't we all go to California?

- What for?

- Well my pap always said

the men in these hills are to mean.

- Was that so?

- Yeah, young ladies gotta look

for more refined gentlemen to marry.

- Well what's sort of a type are you looking for?

- Oh maybe a professor.

- Less go.

- How about a basketball player?

- To tall.

- A jockey.

- To short.

- Well I guess that leaves me with my last choice.

- What's that?

- Some broken down, no good, spends all his time with cars,

can't be trusted around young girls or a deck of cards.

- That sounds just right.
