I mean, it got lost or something.

You've got to be kidding.

Baby, you and I could

take that money and split.

They would never find us.

Oh, they'd find us.

We'd be together,

Mexico, Europe, you name it.

Honey, I'm telling you,

this is bad money.

They'll find us and rip us.

If it's bad money, they can't go to the police

and by the time they found out we'd be gone.

I don't know.

I just don't want any trouble.

That's what our lives have been

all about, trouble!

Piles of trouble!

You'd work all your life

and never see this much money.

Larry, I'd do anything

to be with you, anything.

But it's so easy!

Aren't you tired

of being a loser?

Come on, man, it's a chance,

how many people ever get a chance?

She's gone, checked out Saturday.

Nothing in his car.

They must have taken hers.

What do you think?

I think we've got a problem.

Sure, I remember.

Nice looking fellow.

But I don't remember

any girl with him.

And he signed for the package

and then left?

Yeah.

Just picked it up and left.

- Thanks a lot, pal.

- But he brought it right back.

He did what?

It was crazy, but he shipped it right back to

El Paso, to himself, Robert Brown, that's it.

Is that any help?

Yes, operator. 213-469-9011.

Yeah, I'll hold on.

Hello?

Ellie?

Where the hell are you?

Myra, listen to me. I've left Desert Springs

and I want you to do exactly as I tell you.

I'm calling from a pay phone

and I don't have much time.

You got any money?

Yeah, about $40, why?

Honey, I can't tell you too much right now,

but we're going to have it made.

Now, I want you to meet me in El Paso.

El Paso, Texas, Friday night. Do you understand?

Yeah, I hear you.

OK. You get yourself a bus ticket and I'll meet

you there Friday night at 8 o'clock, you got it?

Come on, Ellie, you make it

sound like it's life or death.

Now, you listen to me. You get

your tail down and you do it now.

OK, I'll be there,

8 o'clock, Friday night.

And I'm warning you, Myra. I can't

wait for you if you're going to be late.

- I won't, you'll see.

- OK.

Honey, we've got it made.

I'll see you, OK, little one?

OK.

- Is something wrong?

- No.

You know, it's almost 5 o'clock.

We must have fallen asleep.

Yeah, I guess we did.

Myra? Are you coming back?

- What's the matter?

- You got any money?

I guess so.

Myra, I'd like an explanation.

How much?

I don't know, a hundred or so.

Look, I'm going away for a while

and I'm going to need some bread, OK?

- Where are you going?

- Away!

I don't understand.

What are you doing?

I'm taking some money,

for services rendered.

I'm not talking about the money.

I'm talking about you.

Are you hard of hearing?

I'm splitting, leaving for good!

Myra! - Let go of me.

I'm going to meet Ellie.

No! She's not good for you.

She'll only drag you down.

Stay with me. - What?

You're jealous of my own sister?

She's a murderer!

Now, you said so yourself.

The police will catch her

and you too.

I can take care of myself.

Now, let go of me!

No! I won't let you go and I won't

let you destroy yourself because of her.

I'll call the police.

Supposing

I'm going because of you.

Supposing I can't take your

creepy hands all over me.

Stop it!

Hell! I know what you need.

I'll call Harry up here.

He'll know how to

take care of a woman like you,

or don't you make it with men

anymore? - You no good little...

Just think of it, Diana,

you and Harry together naked.

You want to know how many times

Harry and I made love?

You want to know how it feels

to be with a young man?

Stop it! Stop it! All I wanted

to do was to take care of you.

I wouldn't come close to you

with a 10-foot pole.

You know what? You're sick.

You're perverted.

You like girls instead of boys.

But don't worry. After I'm gone, you'll find

yourself another little girl to play with,

because face it, you're a dyke,

a lesbian, a no good queer.

All this love and kindness,

so good,

is that the way you get

all your little girls?

I'm gonna tell the whole world

that you're a goddamn queer!

Brother Henry, I sure am glad

you're just a plain old rat.

You don't cause anyone

any trouble, do you?

What a creep.

I mean, how would I know?

I'm no expert.

The man said it will take two,

maybe three days to fix.

Why so long?

One day to get the parts

and one day in the shop.

- Oh, man, we haven't got two days.

- Then what are we going to do?

Dump it.

We can get another one.

The mechanic said

he'd drive us into town.

We can rent a car there.

Honey, relax.

When you got all the money in the world,

you can do anything you want.

I'm telling you, he would've never

ripped us if it wasn't for that dame.

The first time I saw her I knew

she was trouble. - Jesus Christ, man!

What are we doing fooling around out here

in the middle of the desert for?

The money is

on its way to El Paso,

and I'll bet you a cold beer,

it's just exactly where they're headed.

- I don't know.

- Well, it's simple.

We catch a plane and we wait there

for them to show up in comfort.

Yeah. That is simple, but supposing

that's exactly what they want us to think.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe

they shipped something else to El Paso,

that they still got the money?

Oh, hello.

May I help you?

Oh, yes.

We have reservations, Evans.

I phoned you this morning

from Temple City.

Mr. and Mrs. Evans, yes.

It's lucky you called.

This is our busy season.

All right. Room 360.

Would you register please, Mr. Evans.

We have color television

in every room.

- Are you folks from California?

- Oh, yes.

On a vacation?

You might say that.

Oh, I know. I bet you're

newlyweds. Am I right?

- Amazing.

- Oh, I can always tell.

You know, we get a lot of young people here

who find this desert country very romantic.

- There you go.

- Very good.

And I hope the time you spend here

are days you'll never forget.

Well, what would you know?

I think we found some of the

family jewels, Digger. - Yeah.

They leave a trail about as wide

as a preacher's smile.

Listen, Digger, go check out that car. I want to see if

this man can answer a few questions for me, all right?

Is that you, honey?

Oh, who are you?

There must be some mistake.

We're supposed to have this room.

Well, Michael just went to the office to see if we

could have it for another day. Didn't they tell you?

No, they didn't.

Well, I'm sorry,

but this is our honeymoon,

and Michael only has one day left

until he has to go back to work.

That's no problem.

We'll just get another room.

You take care.

- We will, and again, I'm really sorry.

- OK.

Yeah, Ben, I'm calling from a

nothing place called Temple City.

This morning, they rented a sedan and as

far as the village idiots around here know

they headed east on highway 66.

The money, for chrissakes!

Where the hell's the goddamn money?

Now, you listen. I don't want to hear no

long stories. I don't want to hear no excuses.

I'm holding you and that n*gger responsible
