Not here. Home!

That's where I'm going.

Back to my town...

Back to my family.

Thanks. But I ain't much on charity!

I'm not offering you charity,

you stupid f***ing gringo.

I'm offering you a home and a family!

And me!

Careful there gal. Don't bite off

more than you can chew, of course.

I ain't no spring chicken.

Mexicans are not afraid

of having old people around.

If that's what you mean.

I don't know about moving

in with a bunch of Mexicans,

but I gotta go find Gally.

I can't think about anything

else until I do. Alright?

- And until then...

- Got to go.

I'll find that boy.

I'll be back.

Cerveza, seor?

Howdy.

Yeah, that's right.

I'm talking to you.

I don't know you, kid.

No.

No, you don't know me.

What you've got to worry

about, is that I know you.

You think you know me, huh?

You shot a man tonight.

A fella named Cholo.

Then you stole a sack of money there.

Am I right?

Or am I wrong?

So...

now you gotta answer to me.

So...

now I gotta answer to you?

Okay, what do you want?

I want the money.

- Oh you just want the money, that's all?

- Yes, sir.

For my grandfather.

Your grandfather!

He needs it.

Yeah, I understand.

Everybody needs money.

Here's the money.

All the money.

Good. How are you going to get it?

You think I'm just going

to give this money to you?

Hey, you know what,

you smart-ass prick,

I can get it.

That's how easy you are,

you stupid little gringo f***!

Yeah, you better run.

Yeah, that's right, it's me again.

Oh, God!

Hey, what in the hell do

you think you're doing?

I found him, Red. I found him.

He's still got your money.

Forget about the money, huh!

I mean just forget about it.

I won't throw my soul away.

- Just hold still!

- No, no, Red, Red!

- What?

- I'm going to get your money back, alright?

I just told you, forget about

the damn money, alright?

And I told you, I'm going to get

your money back. And I am.

What in the goddamn

hell is wrong with you?

- Huh?

- Why are you doing this?

Because this is exactly what

my father would want me to do.

Gally...

You f***ed up my

Cadillac, didn't you?

Easy... easy...

Got your hat, alright, didn't he?

- Okay, where is he?

- He's down there, down there!

He's in there

somewhere, waiting for us.

He knows there's two of us, Gally.

- Alright, I'm going with you.

- No, you ain't, no!

Goddamn it, don't argue

with me, alright. Just don't!

You're all I got left in the world now.

Just wait here, okay?

- Let's go... Let's go.

- Yeah, alright.

How's this going, exactly?

Thank you, sir.

Yeah...

F*** you guys!

I was about to go crazy!

- Gally are you okay?

- Yeah.

Got no help for a couple of hash ....

Am I right or am I rilla?

Yeah, how's the old boy?

How are you doing, amigo?

Where am I...?

I like it here.

Look here, we've

been through all that.

Now look. We caught

the bastard that killed you.

Here he is, out cold

and goddamn cop.

How do you like it?

Look at that.

No hard feelings, eh?

Well, there he went.

He was a nice man.

- He was.

- He really was.

I kind of like the old ....

Come on ..., come on.

Time to go.

We still got to find a way to get you

back across with your money, Red.

I ain't going back to Texas, Gally.

You're not?

Not, if that invitation is still open.

I guess we'd just scoot on down a little

miscontent where she come from.

Maybe buy us a little old ranch

around here somewhere you know...

You know, run a few cows

and horses, things like that...

Much money we got, be living like the

king and queen of Zion, remember?

I'm glad for you.

Well really, I'm glad for both of you.

Come with us.

Yeah, come on, there's still a wild

and wooly country down here,

you know, you just might like it.

No, I have ...

I think I've had all the wild

moments I can take for a while.

You have to do what

you have to do, I reckon and ...

So let's go, we don't

have time to waste.

But will you come to visit us, right?

- Of course.

- Let's go toots. We're burning daylight.

Okay, once second.

So San Tori, okay.

It's on the map.

- Hey, hey, hey!

- I'm f***ing saying goodbye here.

Don't lose it.

Oh, thanks.

This is for you, want

me to sing for you.

Thanks.

This is for ... for you being you!

Wow!

It's okay.

I'll see you soon.

- Yeah.

- Really soon.

Get in here, you two timer!

- Let's go home!

- Yeah, yes.

Look at that damn hat, would you?

You know you can... tell a lot about

a man just by the hat he's wearing.

Read his whole history,

as a matter of fact....

Every damn thing he's been

through, everything he's made of...

By God, it's all written right there in

his hat. Chop through and worse.

Right?

Yeah.

And I'll tell you something else...

I found me a grandson!

So long, cowboy.

- So long, Grandpa.

- You bet.

Patty Wafers, come on

darling, let's do it!

Sugar cookies!

Sugar cookies...!
