Let me see the money first.
Look man, here's the money.
Now bring that stuff over here.
Now he needs new
head is what he needs.
He ain't nothin' but
a pair of ears right now.
- So where are we going now, man?
- What?
How about Mexico?
We should go and shave now Mr Bovie.
We want to look nice when we get there.
I don't give a good goddam
how I look when we get there.
- Oh now really?
- Yeah.
Mr Bovie go shave.
You know first impressions count.
You're the one who ought to go shave.
You look like Adolf Hitler with
that little mustache you got.
What the hell are you doing?
Hey I want those.
I suggest you buy some new ones.
Oh yeah.
But nobody's but God gonna
see me in my underwear!
You know these homes are
closer than you might think.
I'm sorry you son of a b*tches
ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
Taking a poor old man's
land like this, you know?
I hope you're pleased, cause what you're
doing up there I ain't gonna look at you.
Son of a b*tches.
Mama's too.
My God!
Sorry, excuse me. But this
isn't the Bovie ranch, is it?
Well it was. Now it's
Rancho Vista Estates.
Rancho Vista Estates.
Ranchettes.
Can I help you?
Are you Mrs Bovie?
I'm Arnez Liepig.
Stealth & Loud Real Estate.
You see, I'm looking for Red Bovie.
Well, he is around here somewhere.
He is seeing me tell him to get in here.
We got to go.
You let 'em take away
my cattle, my horses...
and now my land.
Every damn thing I ever cared
about... gone, thanks to you.
Thank you, Sir.
Thank you.
Yeah so, you just gonna have to
find somebody else to pick on, see.
Had it.
I've had it with you.
Had it, you understand?
Took my land momma, every inch of it.
Yes, ma'am.
I love you too momma!
Alright, one, two and three
and go...
On the other hand,
expecting might want to do better
by me than you been doing already.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I'll give you one more chance.
Here's the deal, mister.
Either you're on my
side from here on out,
or you can just go and take my brain
to scatter up there in goddam rafters.
It's up to you, okay.
Thy will be done...
this day.
Give me a sign.
Any sign will do.
Yeah, any sign.
Can't help but be curious!
Which way you decided?
Oh! Christ!
Hey!
What in the hell?
Hey... damn boy.
You alright?
- Get up!
- Yes, sir, I think so.
- What's going on in there?
- Nothing.
None of your damn business.
Sir, I'm Gally.
Gally Bovie.
Who?
Gally Bovie.
I'm... well sir,
I'm your grandson.
Bullshit, you're my grandson!
Yes sir, I am.
James Bovie is my father.
Jimmy Bovie is no son of mine.
He was but he got ideas run off from
home one day when I wasn't looking.
Now what do you want?
Well, sir nothing. Really I was
just passing through you know.
I thought I'd stop by and
see the old home place.
And say hello since we never met.
- Yeah, hello, how are you doing?
- I'm just fine, thank you.
- How are you?
- Goodbye. Adios.
You know, my father was right.
He said you were
disagreeable old bastard.
He may have said that to you, but by God,
he never had the guts to
say it to me, not to my face.
Let me tell you something boy,
your daddy grew up in this place,
same as mine, same as my daddy
before me and my granddaddy before him.
Now this is Bovie land, you hear me?
Bovie land.
We had the whup the goddam
Red Indians to get this land
and then turn around and had to
whup the goddam mission to keep it.
You see, now this is Bovie land, by God.
Bovie land you sons of b*tches.
And your daddy, he just run off.
Mr. Bovie, it's time to go.
Go get it lighted up.
- Come on.
- Yes ma'am.
Moments ATA.
Yes, I know them.
Bad guys those two cabron.....
See maybe they will come this way.
Sure.
Sure I will take a look for you.
Well, how did you lose your ranch?
It's a damn conspiracy.
The bank loaned me money on cows and
God told it not to rain. I was ruined!
Slow down.
Yeah, what good money do?
That is yours.
I don't live in no damn tin can.
No.
You'll make some good friends
here Mr Bovie, you'll see.
Now this is all you can afford.
I ain't going in.
Not me. No.
No, ma'am.
Oh, don't be timid.
Come on now. Let's go.
Get your damn hand off my Cadillac.
Jesus Christ!
Slow down, please slow down.
- I want some singin' and dancin'.
- Singing, dancing? What?
- And a woman. I want a woman.
- A woman?
You going with me, boy? You
going with me? Speak up!
- You going? Yes or no?
- Yeah... I'll go with you.
- Slow down. Slow down.
- Good.
Are we going to drink all this beer?
Whatever it is I reckon, yeah.
Yeah!
So this, this woman, well she
lives out here somewhere?
What woman?
I don't know about a damn woman.
You said you wanted a woman.
Yeah I do, I want a woman.
Singing and dancing.
Just where exactly are we going?
About 200 miles, this way.
In old Mexico.
Mexico?
No I can't go to Mexico.
Why not? You got tickets to
What are you doing down here anyway?
You pop in only to say howdy, did you?
Well, I thought you might need somebody
to help break wild horses or something.
I didn't know you lost your ranch.
Ahh, damn!
I didn't take you for a bronc buster!
You ride them, eh?
Yeah, I guess it's just in the blood.
Dad said you used to be a rodeo rider.
- Yeah.
- Bulls?
Yeah. Put hair and horns on a stick of
dynamite, I could ride the son of a b*tch.
Is that what he told you?
No, sir.
Just said you used to ride rodeo.
He didn't talk about you very much.
Well, I don't spend a whole lot of my
time, wondering about him either.
But he wanted you to come down
here though and work for me.
Wanted you to to reach back to your roots,
get to know the old man. Is that it?
Find out where you come from?
This more of my idea, than his.
Yeah, but he let you.
Your daddy, him know where you are?
Oh damn! You run out from home,
didn't you? Am I right or am I rilla?
No, I didn't.
I didn't run out from home.
- No.
- No.
I just dropped out of college
for a while, that's all.
Good for you bad guy.
How do you like your Jimmy boy run off?
Turn about fair play, Jimmy?
How do you like it now,
the shoe's on the other foot.
How do you like it, Jimmy?
Hey, I said I didn't
run off from home, okay.
I didn't run off from home.
Well, you run off from
college, same damn thing, eh?
- No, no, it's not.
- Well, it is to me.
He.. he, old Jimmy.
I think this could be a problem, try to...
I can't fix it.
J.T., you go get us another one.
Fill it up, special.
Fill it up, special.
Are you all going
down south to Mexico?
No, we're shut here
buying gasoline, alright.
- Hit the windshield alright?
- Hit the windshield alright.
'Cause our car broke down, so we thought
maybe we catch a ride with you all.
No sir.
- Wind it up old man, we gotta go.
- Wind it up. We gotta go.
Why you a damn parrot?
- $ 55.80.
- $ 55.80?
