A Night in Old Mexico Page #4

- It's okay.

- Yeah, yeah.

I tell you what. Alright, listen.

Listen to me now.

Just one of these birds

sing, just one, alright...

I'll set the whole damn

bunch free, that's a promise.

Now sing, Goddamn you, sing.

Ain't singing at all.

Well, alright...

- That's still hot, Pedro?

- Yes, signor, it's very hot.

Good. Alright.

Hey, now. Here's a $100.

These damn birds won't sing.

Cook the little bastards, alright.

- What?

- Come on, you're not going to...

Don't do that, don't do that...

Red, come here, tell him not

to cook the poor little birds.

I think I hear something.

Did you heard something?

- I heard the bird singing.

- Are you sure, you sure was a bird singing?

Yes, I'm sure.

The f***ing bird was singing.

- It was singing.

- Alright.

- Tell him.

- Then my word is my bond. Set him free.

Adios, chico.

You wouldn't really have cooked

them poor little birds, would you Red?

Yeah, I would, if they

hadn't start singing.

I mean, you know.

How did that old bird do it,

something like... you know like this?

It was you!

You ... Bad boy. Bad boy.

Crank up the bank!

Crank up the bank! Come on.

- That's those guys. Come on...

- Yeah.

Keep it, let's go.

Get rid of that sh*t. Come on.

Okay, one of you is going to tell me

what the f*** is going on here!

- I want to know.

- Nothing, nothing...

We gave those dead

fellows a ride so...

What else, Red. I know there's

something you're not telling us.

By mistake they left a few bucks in the

car ain't nothing to dwell on. Few bucks.

What do you mean a few bucks?

A few bucks.

Trying to keep some spare change in my boots.

- You call this a few bucks?

- Yeah.

Like $ 5,000!

More in the car.

I'll be right back.

Hold on.

Here hold this.

Okay, now this bag, you know,

give or take, I'd say about $ 150,000.

- $150,000 ?

- Yes

I guess this is my lucky day, eh?

You've got to give it back.

No. What? Give it back to two dead

guys? What are you talking about?

I'm buying my freedom with this.

Ain't nobody coop me up

in some damn old tin can

as long as I'm back

in this kind of dough.

- Oh! Oh!

- What's wrong?

I think somebody is looking for us.

I know this guy. His name is

Cholo and he's monmarlo, very bad.

Well, I ain't scared

of some little beaner

wearing sunglasses in

the middle of the night.

You should be scared of this one.

He shoots people.

Jesus, Red.

What have you got us into?

Tell you what.

We gonna walk back across the bridge

till it catches, like nothing going on.

All right Woods. Good idea.

Good idea. Let's go.

- Alright.

- Alright.

No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.

This ain't no good.

Two gringos are dead...

If the Federales are going to have the

bridge blocked off, be searching everybody.

Where you gonna tell them,

you got all that f***ing money?

Well, he hadn't thought

about that, did you?

Alright. Well just leave

the money and let's go.

Oh, leave the money!

Why?

Well, just throw it away

and let's get out.

Throw it away! Listen. God gave

me this money to buy my freedom.

Now what do you think He would say

if I was just to walk off and leave it?

Well, He'd say, there

goes my smart old man.

No, He wouldn't. He'd say adios, you

stupid butthole. That was your last chance.

And don't call me old

man because this ain't!

Wait.

Come on.

I know a guy.

His name is Big.

Big... Roscoe Hammil.

He is a coyote.

- Can us make it back across the river to Texas.

- Yes.

- So come with me.

- Yes.

Check this mule, amigo!

Hi Big.

Nice to see you.

How you been doing?

Sorry to interrupt your supper,

but we have a little business.

My friends had a little

car trouble tonight and...

Well, some other things

have not gone too good either

and they want to see about

getting back across the river.

What river is that?

The River Nile, you

ignorant son of a b*tch.

- Red!

- Okay.

Wait. Please listen.

They got money.

- They can pay.

- Yup.

And they understand you're a businessman

and they expect to pay for your services.

Don't you Red?

Wait! Dependent of how much it cost?

We ain't exactly the Rockefellers.

Sit down.

Talk business.

You ever thought

about joining the circus?

- Yeah, you could be the hippopotamus.

- Shut up, Red.

He's joking.

Okay.

Put something on the table?

Think of all the tomatoes that'll buy.

You got us a deal?

Sh*t.

I wouldn't walk you to

the front door for that.

Tell your cheap friend to go away.

No, he's teasing. He's just teasing.

Show me you're just teasing, Red.

Come on Red, show him.

For Christ's sake, just show him.

That's as far as we go, pal.

Take it or leave it!

I'll float you over on my boat.

Go in the truck.

Yes. Let's go.

- Thank you.

- Whatever you say, fat man.

- Come on.

- Thank you.

- Is this the boat?

- Yeah.

- Let me help you up here.

- Thanks.

- We going to get across in this?

- Yeah.

You know what, Patty?

I think you're really going to like Texas.

You mean you're going to

take me up to Texas with you?

Yes, I might take you

back to Texas with me.

You think I was just gonna run off and

leave you down here in old Mexico, did you?

- Huh?

- Yeah.

Get back to Texas, I'm really

going to show you a good time!

- I'm having a good time now.

- Good.

Will be hard to top this!

What are you talking about?

You wouldn't know a

good time of one who is

hanging on to your little

peter with both hands.

Come here.

Bad Boys!

Better to be an old man's darling,

than a young man's slave.

You ever heard that?

- Yeah. You know what else they say?

- What?

That the older they get, the better

they were when they were young!

That's low Gally.

That's really low.

- He started it.

- Oh shut up both of you.

Let me check on it.

Stop right there.

Beg you pardon, madam.

You talking to us?

Drop the money .

I don't want to kill you, but I will!

Money... what money

you talking about?

Hey, buster on my back to

come over and kick your ass.

- Jesus Christ, just give him the money!

- Over my dead body!

I am aiming at the girl, now.

Get back.

Alright.

Are you happy now?

Go away from here now!

Alright!

It's that damn beano

with the sunglass.

- Red, I'm sorry.

- It's not your fault.

That damn taxi driver must

have told him where we were.

Easy come, easy go, Red.

Bullshit to that!

What?

Hey, Red. Are we gonna drive right

back cross the bridge to Texas now?

We got nothing to hide!

Not this cowboy.

What are you doing?

Put that stupid thing away.

No, no, no.

I'm gonna get my money back.

Hey, give this bastard a

whip old smokie here to do it.

Okay, alright Red, just stop it now!

Get out of this. Stay away from me, boy.

God damn you, get away from me.

- Red, this is insane.

- Stay away from me, boy.

This is insane!

- Alright. Give me that pistol!

- Hey, you get out of here now!

- F***ing stop.

- Do you know what? No, no, no...

- Let him go.

- I'll knock you down!

- He's f***ing crazy.

- I'm not crazy.

You're totally f***ing
