I can't count on that.

He gets to the States, we can't

touch him. You know my instructions.

All too well, Mr. Cable.

All too well.

Maybe next time

you'll tell me your plan.

I don't have any more money on me.

You don't have to pay.

All I want from you

is to take me with you.

You promise?

- Give me that bottle.

- Good.

I got a hell of a good idea.

Let's get drunk.

Goddamn stupid. You dressed that

big ape up to look like a whore!

- Who did you think you would fool?

- I'm so sorry, Jay.

This Colton thinks it's a joke.

It wasn't a joke.

And that "big ape" nearly lost

his life trying to get you out.

Well, they were paid, weren't they?

Anyway, it was Colton's idea.

How come I never get to meet him?

Jay...

I can't bring him here so that

everyone knows he's working for us.

Not anymore, he's not.

You pay him off.

That's the end of it.

What happened?

I just cut it.

- Don't you like it?

- It's different.

You used to always check

with me before.

I see.

What do you see?

Jay...

Jay, you think I'm sleeping

with someone. But I'm not.

Well, I notice things.

What things?

Every time you come

to visit, you're a little...

...colder. A little bit more

matter-of-fact.

Matter-of-fact?

Are you still as horny

as you used to be?

This guy Colton.

How is he?

- Does he give you a good hump?

- Oh, Jay!

- You're still my wife. Get these off.

- No.

Conjugal privileges.

You can be his whore...

...or my whore.

- No, Jay.

- You're my whore.

- Jay, no.

Sh*t!

Sh*t! Damn it!

- Take it, take it!

- You got to understand this machine.

- Understand it? I'll break its neck.

- I'm afraid of that.

Wait a minute.

Some people can't chew gum

and tap at the same time.

I can.

It's only your third lesson.

Give it time.

Let's lay it on the line.

With two more weeks of lessons,

would I be as good as you?

No. You'll never be that good.

That's all I wanted to know.

Goddamn it, the way you come here

to borrow my wife.

- She ain't a lawn mower.

- You're right, Spence.

I admit I was out of line before.

I don't know how I could ask

your lady to pose as a whore.

But I swear, this time it's nothing.

- What do you want?

- Like he says...

- Let him tell it.

- It's just down there and back.

You get to go to the lake.

I get no day off.

Now this time she's right.

Fair is fair.

Spence, you're going

to make a thousand dollars.

- A thousand dollars for doing nothing.

- Practically nothing.

- No.

- Spencer, I got a say in this too.

You're the wife of an officer.

And you don't do nothing illegal.

Who says illegal?

If it wasn't,

you'd say what she has to do.

- She has to get out of a car and yell.

- Yell what?

She has to yell that she's been raped.

You get out of here.

Rape! Rape!

Come on, Spencer.

A thousand bucks just for that.

Just think.

You can buy fishing gear...

...make a payment on a new car...

...maybe even a color TV.

What guarantee do we have

that we'll ever see the money?

That.

A check for five hundred dollars.

- Don't cash it until we get back.

- Why not?

It has sentimental value.

Look at the date. It's two months old.

It's the last check

my best friend ever wrote.

I'd like to keep it

as long as I can.

I will let you hold it,

just to show my good faith.

Okay.

But if you lay one hand

on my Myrna...

...I'll tear your head off

and sh*t in it.

Take it from me, nothing ever happens in

this world until you're self-employed.

I can't believe his luck.

Getting a chance like this.

- You want him to fly that ore?

- What ore?

Sure. He can borrow one of the

choppers. He's got 10,000 hours.

- Thirty-six hundred and fifty.

- Thirty-six hundred and fifty.

I'll lay it on the line for you.

There's a lot of money here.

A lot of money involved.

I'm offering you five percent.

What do you say?

I say, hot damn!

I told you to come alone.

It was my fault, Mr. Colton.

I insisted.

Did you have to do that?

I don't trust him.

Did you bring them?

Yes.

The one on top is the most recent.

He might be hard to recognize.

He's changed so much.

He's changed?

That's great.

Do this.

Tell him I want him in that

courtyard at 3:
00 in the afternoon.

- One week from today.

- But he's a very sick man.

He's in the hospital.

I don't know if he can do it.

He's got to be there.

Tell him to get better.

Three o'clock.

Not five minutes before,

not five minutes after.

We'll wait for 10 seconds.

I leave with or without him.

To tell you the truth...

...a part of me hopes it's

without him.

How will you do it?

If I tell you

and they're waiting for us...

...what will I think?

You don't trust me.

We will fly him out by helicopter.

- But that's so dangerous.

- You're damn right it's dangerous.

Nick, I...

Don't worry.

All yours.

I don't know.

It doesn't look right.

- There's something wrong.

- You said blue.

By this picture, the attorney

general's is royal blue.

- Hell, blue is blue.

- Hey!

Holy sh*t!

What are you doing?

Who told you you could do that?

Do what?

Do what? That!

What will the boss say?

Probably thanks. Hell, we won't

even charge him for the paint.

Looks better, huh?

I'll tell you something,

there better be a big score in this.

You wait, buddy.

You wait!

I need a moment with him alone.

Sosa's my good friend.

I know he is.

He's not going away.

Please.

I will be close by, amigo.

Jay.

Jay, listen to me.

Friday afternoon at 3:00,

Colton will get you out. Understand?

- 3:
00.

- That's right.

Which day?

- Jay, which day?

- Friday.

Right. In the courtyard.

You'll only have 10 seconds.

You must be there at 3:00.

And there's...

There's one other thing,

Colton's never seen you.

- You must...

- You have to leave.

- I need a few more minutes.

- Okay, but come.

I have a right to speak

with my husband.

By tomorrow night you'll

be a real wife.

Yes, you will.

You be here.

See you tomorrow.

Good afternoon.

- Here you are.

- Hi.

What is the purpose

of your visit into Mexico?

Not in front of the lady, huh?

We're just tourists here

for the weekend.

- Welcome to Mexico.

- Oh, yeah. Si, si.

- Just like old times, Myrna?

- Yeah, like old times, baby.

Spencer has good qualities.

I'm not knocking him.

But you men...

Who are you calling?

Just trying to get a weather fix.

You're married to a cop,

and you can't even jaywalk.

Could you undo me?

You can't believe the guilt

I feel now.

- Goddamn!

- What? What's the matter?

Chance of high winds tomorrow.

I know. And it might even

get stormy tonight.

That's all I need, high winds.

- Nick?

- What?

I've been worried

about tomorrow.

I have to be convincing,

and I've never been raped.

- We should all be so lucky.

- What's that joke?

A guy says, "So help me,

I'll rape you. "

The girl says, "So rape me,

I'll help you. "

So?

So, rape me. I'll help you.

Oh, Myrna.

Is that all you got

on your mind?

You never had anything else on your

mind but that, since kindergarten.
