Desert Springs and Las Vegas.

You spend much time in Las Vegas?

Some.

I don't know much about mining,

but those long-legged Las Vegas women.

Evans, are you available?

Available? Yeah, sure.

For what?

Eddy, tell him. Tell him.

We're going out of town next week and we'd like

you to do a little babysitting for us, that's all.

Yeah. I know. You got this pretty

doll-faced wife that's playing around.

Oh, no. I'm happily married.

We just want to spend a few days

in the Springs on us, of course,

and do a couple of favors for us.

Favors? Like what?

We're expecting a very

important package, Larry.

It has to do with our business.

We want you to pick it up and see

that it gets delivered. Simple.

No sweat.

When do you want me to start?

We'll let you know.

Larry, this is a private matter.

We prefer you handle this alone.

I'd appreciate it if

you kept quiet about it.

Didn't mention it to anybody.

Are you kidding?

Don't you worry about that.

Well, good then, it's settled.

You know, nowadays, with industrial spying,

one company is stealing secrets from another,

I guess we have to be

a little extra careful.

- You understand?

- Sure.

Oh, the company's fee is

$50 a day plus expenses.

If you do a good job, we'll make

another 50 for you. What do you say?

You'll get a job you'll never forget,

Mr. Tollin. You can count on that.

You see, Mr. Brown?

I told you we could find

an honest man.

- That was wild.

- You ride very well.

You really do.

Not as good as you.

Ever since I was this high,

I could remember riding a horse.

Where are you from?

Texas, near Houston.

Really? I bet you lived on one of those

big ranches you always hear about.

No. But I have friends who did.

We used to visit them and they'd have these big

barbecues and invite everyone from miles around

and everyone would have a good time.

Oh, god. I even remember

the first time a boy kissed me.

It was at one of those barbecues.

It made me feel all warm

and excited at the same time.

I guess it's something you

never forget, a first kiss.

What was your first kiss like?

- Kind of embarrassing to tell.

- We're friends, aren't we?

Sure, but... - And good friends

trust each other and help each other.

Myra, will you let me

be your friend?

Say, man, no sweat.

Good show, blood.

We have got black power.

Hello, Ben. It's Eddy.

Hello, Eddy.

Well, how did it go?

Right on.

Found a guy so dumb

he's got to be on it.

Good.

Well, I'll be up in San Francisco.

Look don't worry, will you.

I'll be up there the whole week.

Yeah. Now listen, Ben.

We're all set with the pickup.

What about the delivery?

I'll take care of that. You just

make sure you take care of your end.

Anyway, they always say

blood is thicker than water.

Check with me later.

Well...

Come on, Digger.

I'm going to buy you a drink.

So what's the celebration?

We're going to be rich, Digger.

This little old ticket

is going to make us rich.

You no good little slob,

you stole this, didn't you?

I told you, she let me borrow it.

You're lying, Myra.

Then why did you hide it?

I didn't want to lose it.

You are such a liar! Now, I want

you to go put it back right now.

What's the difference?

She's got tons of money.

I don't care.

She's never going to miss it.

Oh, yeah?

Supposing she reports it? Supposing the cops

come and start asking questions? Then what?

They're never going to find him.

The worms got old Charley by now.

You just listen to me.

Now, I want you to go

put this back right now.

- You hear me?

- OK.

But it's a lot of noise

about nothing.

Now, well, you just knock it off.

Sure, Ellie.

I'm a good girl.

Don't you put me on.

Oh, hi.

Oh, hi.

I was just trying on some perfume.

I never had any back home.

Help yourself.

Diana, you're sure lucky.

Lucky?

You're rich and have pretty clothes and

things. I bet you get everything you want.

Ben takes good care of me.

He's sure a lot older than you.

Well, I'm a lot order than you

and we're friends.

Is he your friend?

Yes.

We have a relationship.

What kind of relationship?

Well, it's not the heart-pulsing,

wild love affair you always read about.

Do you love him?

No, I don't love him.

Myra, I'm glad you are staying here.

I can do things for you,

even though you have an older sister.

- I'd like...

- What would you like?

To help you.

Buy you things

and get to know each other.

Diana, you sure have pretty rings.

This is the most beautiful ring

I have ever seen.

Do you want it?

Sure as you're gonna die.

Here. It's yours.

- Put it on.

- Are you kidding?

I've never had something

as beautiful as this.

Is it really mine?

I'm not kidding.

It's yours.

I've never had any one in my whole life

treat me as good as you do.

I'm going to love you

'til the day I die.

Yeah.

Evans.

Mr. Evans.

Yeah, what do you want?

We want to see you.

It's urgent.

Who wants to see me?

Tollin and Mr. Brown.

Just a minute.

- Sorry to bother you, Larry. Something's come up.

- Wait just a minute. You guys can't...

How did you guys find me?

You in the phone book?

- Yeah.

- That's how we found you.

Look at her, Eddy.

She's naked as an Indian's back.

When can you leave?

I don't know.

When do you want me to leave?

Here. There's a reservation in your name

at the Fire Creek Motel in Desert Springs.

Everyday at 12 o'clock,

the bus gets into town. Be there.

It's always on time.

The package you're to pick up

is in the name of Mr. Brown.

You sign the receipt Robert Brown.

B-R-O-W-N.

Give them the baggage ticket

and they'll hand you the package.

The baggage number is 1-2-2-3-5-9.

Don't lose it, Larry.

Well, OK.

I got the package then what?

You're to deliver it

at 2 o'clock sharp,

Room 240 at the Oasis Hotel,

2 o'clock sharp, Larry.

Well, do I hand it to anyone in 240?

What about a name?

He's my cousin.

Tell him it's for Brown.

Is there anything else?

No. Just be careful. Remember

what I told you about my competition.

Sure.

Well, I'll leave today.

She got a name?

Yeah, Rosemary.

When we get back from this trip,

maybe you'll set me up with Rosemary.

Sure, anytime. - Good luck,

Larry. We'll be seeing you.

Hey, do me another favor, will you?

Sure, what is it?

- Tell Rosemary she's got great legs.

- Digger.

Rosemary, you've got great legs.

What?

I don't give a damn what you think.

I don't want any mistakes

and I don't want any slip-ups.

Come on, Ben. It's smooth as ice.

Nobody gets involved. Just outsiders.

Hey, everything is

right on schedule.

Don't worry about a thing.

You know, Eddy,

something bothers me.

Every time you tell me

not to worry, I begin to worry.

Just make sure

you stay close to it.

Sure, Ben.

What about number2?

I told you I'll take care of that.

I'll see you later.

As I said, what's to worry about?

You know, Brother Henry, you're

the only one I can really talk to.

I mean, Ellie is so damn bossy. She acts

like she's some kind of warden or something.
