Blowing Wild Page #5

- I'm fine.

When I heard you're in the hospital,

I didn't know what I'd do.

- You shouldn't have come here.

- I was worrying sick.

Start worrying about your husband.

Go home, Marina.

Don't you understand?

I can't! I love you!

- You're the only man I ever loved.

- I've heard those words before.

And from you, years ago, on another

street in another country.

- Only the music was different.

- I was different, too.

I didn't realise what

you meant to me!

You said that, too.

That time I believed you.

It was true - and it was true

when I married Paco!

I only did it because

you wouldn't have me!

There was a time when I would've,

but you left me waiting.

- Then you DID wait! - Too long

and through too many others.

- This time I've waited for you.

- You've got Paco.

Paco! He looks strong,

but I know what he is!

When I knew him, he was strong.

I don't want to see him fall apart.

Let him fall apart!

Jeff, take me away with you!

I can't stand it here another minute.

Take me away with you.

Now, tonight!

Good evening, Mrs Conway.

Mrs Conway's key.

I'm going back to the field.

Have my car sent around.

Good evening.

Cut.

That's a pretty big bet.

I'm Marina Conway.

I'd like to ask you a question,

Miss...?

Donley.

- I'd appreciate a frank answer.

- Certainly, Mrs Conway.

Is Jeff Dawson in love with you?

- I'm in love with him.

- That's not what I asked.

- I can't answer for him.

- You could if he loved you.

You've told me

what I want to know.

Mrs Conway...

he's not in love with you.

Not any more.

- He tell you that?

- He didn't have to.

You're a liar, a cheap little liar.

What can he see in you?

I'll ask him next time.

There won't be many more

next times. Remember that.

Your car is here, Mrs Conway.

Ol-e!

Shut up, everybody! Quiet!

We have a visitor.

A distinguished visitor,

Mr Jeff Dawson. A real hero!

He catches hot nitro

with his bare hands.

Jeffrey, I love you like a brother.

Come on, have a drink.

Rosalito! Paco!

Hmm?

It's late.

You haven't got much time.

What are you going to do

about the banditos?

Wouldn't you like to know!

I'm not going to tell you.

First, I'm going to tell you

something else.

Listen, everybody!

This man works for me.

But he's the boss. You know

why he's the boss? I'll tell you.

Paco, let's go.

He's the boss because my wife

is in love with him.

She thought I didn't know.

I always knew

there was some other guy,

but I didn't know who

till you come back.

She's in love with you.

But I married her and I got her.

It's a joke.

It's a joke!

I want everybody to laugh!

Laugh!

Paco...

I know what you thought

about the bandit.

You thought I was going to pay him.

I'm not. I'm going to fight him.

You sure that's not

whiskey talking?

No. It's me.

Me, Paco Conway talking!

I'm going to fight him!

I'm going to fight him!

You're not coming.

I don't need you.

- Let me drive you.

- Get away! And stay away!

Stay away!

Come here.

I SAID COME HERE!

I just left Jeff. He's not coming

back and there's nothing you can do.

He's gone.

So that leaves just you and me

and this here pump.

I can't stop you from loving him.

And you can't stop me

from loving you.

This is what started it all.

Marina number one. I wanted oil.

When it started pumping,

you wanted me.

Now I want it to stop pumping.

Stop pumping!

It's no use - I can't stop it.

I guess that's the way

it's got to be, Marina.

Just you and me and the pump, baby.

Come here.

When I tell you

to come here, come here.

TYRES SQUEAL:

- What's the matter?

- It's Paco, over there.

I was watching from the veranda...

He drove up and started

to shoot at the beam.

He stumbled and fell

and before I could do anything...

Oh, Jeff, I...!

I think I'm going to be sick.

Give each man

Post lookouts for banditos.

A sad accident. A pity.

I am very sorry

I could not bring more men.

When he attacks, we have guns.

Please, tell Mrs Conway to hurry.

Mount that machine gun.

Car's ready to take you to town.

You'd better get started.

You may not be safe here soon.

You've been very kind.

Much kinder than I deserve.

This may not be the time, Jeff...

but now that I'm alone,

you know what I want to say.

Yes, I do, and don't say it.

- I have a right to now. So have you.

- I'm leaving here as soon as I can.

Leaving here?! Why?!

Oh, I don't believe it!

You actually mean it!

No, Jeff! Don't go! I'm desperate!

I need you! Help me! Help me!

I'm sorry for you,

but I can't help you.

You mean you won't!

You don't want to! Why?

- This time I'm helping myself.

- That's not the reason, you know it.

Is it that girl?

No, you're not in love with her!

Now that I hear you say it,

I think I am.

You belong with me

and you're going to stay with me.

You're wrong.

I'm not going to let you

walk out on me!

We've got everything

we ever wanted.

Money, this and each other!

What more do you want?

Something you can never give.

It's not your fault

but you never had it to give.

- What can she do for you? What?!

- Nothing. But I can trust her.

I'm not going to let you go.

I can't, not after what I've done!

What have you done, Marina?

What have you done, Marina?

I committed murder

to get you! Murder!

You killed Paco?!

I did it for you!

Don't you understand?

- I did it for you!

- You killed Paco! You killed him!

Makes me sick to even look at you.

You'll never get away from me!

I'll never let you go!

I'll say I killed him

and you helped me!

I don't care if they hang me

just so they hang you, too!

No! No!
