Mexico! Mexico! Mjico!

- Hey, man! Watch it!

- Check your oil, man?

Get the stuff out of the back window.

I can't see.

The cop!

He's running to the telephone box!

- What do we do now?

- Now we go get the money.

Get rid of this heap.

Get a car that'll take us to the border.

Mexico by sunrise, baby!

By sunrise?

- In Mexico...

- Yeah?

- Is it hot?

- Yeah, it's hot!

Hot tamale!

Can we live in a house of grass,

by the sea?

Sounds good. You, me, the muchacho.

Yeah. You, me, the baby.

The grass house, the sea.

You got it, darlin'. You got it.

And there is nothing else.

Everything else goes away.

There ain't nothin' else. That's it.

Love is the power supreme!

That's the whole story, baby!

Damn! Look at her dance!

Hey, Berrutti!

Ray, he's cool. He's cool.

Maybe I should say "He's hot!"

Maybe the word is lucky.

Is that the word, kid? Finally!

The word is jinxed, my friend.

I'm in a jam.

Hey, Stretch. Why don't you take

this little lady for a nice dance?

- Come on, little lady.

- Have fun.

What do you need, pal?

You need help at the border?

- Clean cheque I gotta cash.

- Jerk gives you a cheque, huh?

Well, this'll have to be tomorrow morning.

- No, tonight. Now.

- I don't have enough cash tonight.

Where'd you get those pants?

Disguising yourself as an a**hole?

How many times have I told you

that style counts?

I'm gonna give you this jacket.

Put you in style. Make you feel

a lot better. Ain't that beautiful?

What's that look on your face?

- Love, I guess.

- Oh, what a drag!

Listen, pal, got a place to stay?

- Cops, cops. Which way out of here?

- Over there.

Cops, cops, cops.

Do you know The Pines?

- 8.30 in the morning. OK?

- You got it, pal.

Just jump on. Here's all I got.

- There's the girl!

- There's Lujack with her!

- Hold it! Police!

- Monica!

Get 'em! Get 'em!

The elevator!

They're going down in the elevator!

I got 'em down here!

Come on, Lujack, we got you!

Don't shoot! He's got the girl with him!

Run! Run!

Take care of each other

When love walks in the room

Everybody stand up

Oh, it's good, good, good

Like Brigitte Bardot!

- Stop! What are you doing?

- Faster, faster! He's right there!

- Let me outta here! Come on!

- Shut up! Faster!

Look at you -

steering a getaway car! Scared?

Yeah.

- But you like it, don't you?

- Yeah!

Don't stop now! You got them!

Ram him! Ram him!

Turn the goddamn wheel!

Me and you

Every night, every day

We'll be together

Always this way

Your eyes are blue

Like the heavens above

Talk to me, darlin'

With a message of love

The cops! The cops!

Police officers! Freeze!

When love walks in the room

Everybody stand up

Oh, it's good, good, good

- What do you see?

- Nah.

There's nothing down there.

- Do you want onions?

- Sure.

- Cost you a nickel more.

- Movie!

- Never mind the onions.

- Hold the onions.

What a fool I was to think

we could buck Las Vegas.

We just ran into a bad streak, that's all.

- Are we safe now?

- I think so.

We have to stay here a while.

We've still got a tankful of gas anyway.

Bart, do you know

what I was talking about?

Now I know

why it's all or nothing with you.

Having fun?

What a joint. No more hot water.

Look at you.

You're a knockout, kid!

Bart, I want things.

A lot of things. Big things.

I don't want to be afraid of life

or anything else.

I told you I was no good...

I don't wanna be afraid of life

or anything else.

You don't have to be afraid of nothing.

I'll hock my guns. That'll give us

enough dough to make a new start.

There isn't enough money in those

guns for the kind of start I want.

I want a guy with spirit and guts!

A guy who can laugh at anything

or do anything.

A guy that can kick over the traces

and win the world for me!

I wanna make love to you!

Monica, are you crazy?

So what?

So I like it!

Come on, Bart. Let's finish it

the way we started it - on the level.

Open your eyes.

See anything you like?

- This one?

- The red one?

Eldorado!

- What is this place?

- This is where Berrutti'll meet us.

Call it The Pines.

You ever hear of Errol Flynn?

Famous crazy f***er and movie star.

This was his spread.

- This is where we stay tonight?

- No, up at the top.

Right by the pool.

Got the honeymoon suite with a view!

- What does jinx mean?

- What?

Your friend back there -

you told him you were jinxed.

Jinxed means you got the devil's blessing.

Ever seen the devil?

How much money

will you get from Berrutti?

Enough for a while.

What will we do in Mexico

when the money is finished?

Get more! Keep goin'!

Money's my middle name, baby!

How do we get more?

Become thieves?

I don't know.

What do you keep asking me

these questions for?

About the future,

which I don't know, you don't know!

Nobody knows it! So f*** it, roll the dice!

Jesse?

- Jesse?

- What?

I just wanted to say good morning.

So far so good.

- What are you doing?

- Examining these plugs.

The pimp that owned this thing

must have treated it like a piece of sh*t!

- Jesse?

- What?

Tell me you love me.

Yeah, sure I do, sugar.

Damn it!

Do me a favour, pumpkin.

Go down and get us a carton of milk,

some Ding Dongs and a newspaper.

Get yourself something, too.

Gonna be your last American food

for a while, baby.

Come on, honey. Don't be down.

We're just getting to the good part.

Step on it.

Berrutti's gonna be here in 20 minutes.

We gotta vamoose outta these parts.

Jesse.

Sh*t! What?

Nothing. Just looking at you.

I've seen you someplace before.

What?

- Are you on a TV show?

- No.

On a quiz show, huh?

Let's Make a Deal, right?

No.

Thanks. I'll think of it.

Oh, merde!

Hey, hop in.

We'll meet Berrutti down by the gate.

- Where's my newspaper?

- I can't go with you, Jesse.

Not now, sugar. Come on. What's wrong?

I called the police.

I told them you were here.

What the f*** for?

- It don't make any sense!

- It makes sense!

No, it doesn't.

- Monica, you love me.

- I don't want to love you!

I don't want to go with you!

Just now when I went down the hill,

I wanted to keep going on.

I was not gonna come back.

You love me. You say it!

I was not going to come back!

But I knew you would come after me

and I knew you wouldn't

stop coming after me!

- But you love me! Now say it!

- It doesn't matter if I...

- Say it!

- It doesn't matter if I love you!

It's wrong for us.

You don't see, but I can't stop you, Jesse.

You're damn right you can't stop me.

That's why I called the police -

so that you would have to go!

Go, Jesse, please! Quickly!

All right.

You say you don't love me. Then I'll go.

You gotta say it. Say it and I'll go.

It's easy. Go on. Say it.

You can't say it, can you?

I don't love you.

You liar.

- My little liar!

- Please, Jesse.

My God! Berrutti!

We can still make it, darlin'!

I know a hundred ways out of this town!

I'll be right back!

Berrutti! Get outta here quick!

The little French girl called the cops!

- Get in the car, man!
