I can't believe he...

- I thought the old battle-ax would never die!

- Mom!

What do you wanna do now?

Keep following him,

but I don't like the smell of this

- Well, well, well, if it isn't our old amingo

- Oh! No! Not again!

Isn't once enough, huh?

Can't you give a guy a break?

From one human being to another

That's, that's very moving, gringo

But the real question is, are we gonna

cut off your conjones? Or live them on?

You don't have to do this, come on guys,

you can't kill me, can't we flip for it

You think you should kill me, flip for it?

- What?

- A coin, you know?

Flip a coin, I win you let me go,

you win you mangle me

you're a crazy man, gringo

- Call it

- Heads

Oh, you sure? You don't even wanna

you sure you don't wanna think about it?

I've never been more sure

of anything in my life

Juan! Don't take the keys!

Don't take the keys!

Oh, God!

Oh, this has not been a very good vacation

Hello? Hello!

Who's there?

Stop! Stop!

- Not your kind of music

- I hate that sh*t

Are you talking to me?

I said, are you talking to me?

I don't know who you're talking to

- I'm the only one here

- Shut the f*** up!

- Are you talking to me?

- Yeah, I'm talking to you, shut up!

Shut up... Screwball!

- What's that?

- What's what?

Stop! Stop!

Oh! No!

Whoa, hold on now!

Hold on, hold on, just okay, okay

Hey, come here, stop

okay, don't shoot! Don't shoot!

I thought I told you to stay put?

Where's my heads? Where's my heads?

They're in the jeep

They're in the coolers

- Good

- But I lost another one

What?

Here, coyote

- What's he doing?

- The kid ain't dead, that's for sure

Here coyote!

- Shut!

- What?

- Shut up!

- What? What is it?

I'm dead, sh*t, I'm dead

Who, uh, whoever they are, it

doesn't look like they're coming after us

Not yet. Just the fact that

they're here means I'm dead though

When? As soon as I give you the heads?

Or as soon as I get them across to the States

Knowing them,

they're gonna let me take that risk too

Who are the heads anyway?

What? Non of your business

What the hell do you care?

You spend your vacation with a bunch

of heads, you kind of want to know

You think about their hopes and their dreams

Their lives cut short

Hopes? Dreams? Those bums?

You have to feel something!

You don't just kill eight

people and not feel anything!

It don't really matter, but let's

just set the record straight, okay?

First of all, I didn't

whack them, those guys did

Second, Mister Phi Beta Craphead

If I hadn't f***ed up,

I'd be retiring after this

Hey! Hey! Look! Look!

What is he doing? It looks like

he's chasing after a dog?

- What if we could help each other out here?

- Impossible

Why?

Because you're stupid besides I'm not gonna

take the chance of going across that border

Well, if you know it all then how come

you're in this mess to begin with?

Because of bad luck

It's not my fault that the bag

was to big to go in carry-on

There was a gift shop right next to the gate

Didn't you ever think of taking two bags?

Oh! Sh*t!

So I'll repeat the question, what if there's

where a way we could help each other out?

What way?

I'm not into mass murder

if I'm not getting paid for it

But I'm warning you,

anybody gets in my way is dead

- Thank you again for getting rid of fern

- Mom!

The going rate five thousand

dollars, but you can owe me lady

Where's he going?

I don't know,

Do I look a mind reader? Let's go, come on

So now what do we do?

Drive to the border?

Hello no! We gotta get those

heads back and save your dad

Hey! Come back here! I'll kick your ass!

- Come on Bennie let's take him now

- I expect that's exactly what he wants

Uh, let's see, how lucky

We got here. Ah, we got Marty

He's right, Charlie, what do you
