Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia Page #2

my hangover, please, Benny.

Come on.

Do you want one?

Oh, yes, the paper is in the, in the...

Goodbye.

Goodbye. Hope everything

goes well. Have a nice trip.

Let me pass.

I have a heavy load.

Stop here for your ice cream.

Give me a little kiss, coyote.

Jesus... Christ.

It doesn't matter, baby...

as long as I'm with you

I don't give a damn.

Enough already, Chalo.

Have pity, Chalo?

-Enough.

-It's not bothering.

Hungry, baby?

A little. But not for corn.

Meat in the pot, honey.

Bravo... bravo.

-Hell, I wasn't trying to hit 'em, you know.

-I know... you weren't.

I used to shoot a lot of pistols

when I was in the army.

You're a nice gringo.

You didn't have a thing

to do in the army, anyway.

Oh, you'd be surprised, honey.

-Don't bug me about it.

-You are a stupid son-of-a-b*tch.

Let's go.

Then we'll go to Cozumel,

after that the lsle of Mujeres.

-You ever been there?

-No.

I haven't either.

Hell, I've never been anyplace I went to

go back to that's for dammed sure.

I was once at a place

I'd like to see again.

Yeah? Absolutely, baby, you name it.

It's called Guanajato.

With a G. Guanajato.

Guanajato.

Yes. It's very good.

It's a beautiful...

old Spanish town.

It's, uh, sixteenth century. Lemme see,

sixteen, uh, seventeen century.

I dunno. I get mixed

up with the centuries.

Yes, because...

This town, oh, well, never... mind.

You know, and they have

tunnels built all over the town.

And on top of the tunnels

there's the, the houses built.

You can see the little windows,

you know, hanging out.

-Yeah.

-Beautiful, you'll like it there.

I was there once with a...

Yeah, with who?

I forget.

Can we go there? Sometime?

No, we'll go someplace new.

Can we find a new place?

With Alfredo's help we

can do anything, honey.

Uh, we're not doing bad.

I'll go on doing commercials and,

pretty soon you can buy your place.

Bullshit, baby, that's not my place.

Just a pit stop for a bunch of tourists.

-This time I'm moving up.

-My son.

We're moving up.

And most important, at last to me is,

we're together, Benny.

We're together.

And we marry some day.

In a church.

Yeah, We'll marry

some day in a church.

Bullshit, Benny!

-Naw, I mean it this time.

When?

When?

Sunday.

Why so?

Why?

Because I figure Al's worth

about ten thousand bucks.

I don't understand.

Your primera amor, my darling,

has, uh, made a mistake.

And some people... want him dead.

l... You're kidding?

No, I'm not kidding.

And we're gonna get some proof.

Jesus, y...

Well, l... Not with me, huh? You don't want

me to be part of that, do you?

You are a part of it.

For you or for me

or do it for Al.

He wants you to be happy, but...

Didn't he always watching you happy.

Yes, I would be happy...

Well, it's good knowing

what you want, Benny.

But it so happens

I don't know what I want.

You see, uh... we, we,

women have so many ways.

l, I'm just shocked.

Salud Alfredo.

Salud Alfredo, right?

I guess he'd want

me to be happy.

Yeah.

Yeah...

Benny?

Yeah?

Have you really thought

about marrying me?

I mean seriously?

Have you?

Yes, I have.

How come you never asked me?

I don't know,

but I do now.

Ask me again.

Ask me.

Will you marry me?

Coyote! Coyote...

Let's not sleep in the city tonight.

I brought some blankets and food.

Everything we need.

I'll fix a dinner for you and

we can sleep under the stars.

I wanna make you

so happy tonight.

We butting in?

-Yeah, a little bit.

Well, we'll leave if you want us to.

That fire looks mighty good, though.

Hey, I think I got a cold from

that chick... last week.

She was hacking like

a Goddamn coal miner.

Play anything?

Not much. My wife does.

No kidding? Hey... you know an old

song called Cielto Lindo...

Yes.

How about that? Hey...

could she play it?

If you please.

Say, that guitar is like a woman.

Just like a woman.

She'll be good

if you can get her.

She'll tremble when you touch her.

Okay, man, knock it off.

But she just keeps on getting better.

Looky what I got.

you wanna borrowie it?

Yeah.

Well, I think I'll just borrow... yours.

It's all right, Benny.

It's all right.

You two guys are...

definitely on my sh*t list.

He's a rotten sport, your old man.

Let's get out of here. Come on.

I'm gonna kill you one day,

you gringo son-of-a-b*tch!

Oh, no, you won't, Benny.

I've been here before,

you don't know the way.

What the hell, she can handle it

a lot better than I can.

She sure can.

Please don't.

Please.

Gimme that bottle, Goddammit!

Son-of-a-b*tch!

Hey! You're dirt!

Come on. Let's get out of here.

Come on.

I don't know what to say.

Dammit the hell,

I don't know what to say.

You did all right.

I will tell everything to the police.

No chance.

You're gonna take me to find Alfredo.

And that's our ticket outta here.

Jesus, I don't know how you

can get money from a dead body,

I mean, I don't believe those

people and what they say.

I take 'em proof.

His head.

-His... head?

-For proof!

But it's a crime, Benny...

you're mad!

He's dead! Shut up!

Well, you want me to desecrate a grave?

Don't give me that crap!

There's nothing sacred

about a hole in the ground...

or a man that's in it... or you, or me.

Listen, the church

cuts off the feet, fingers,

any other Goddamn thing

from the saints, don't they?

Well, what the hell, Alfredo's our saint.

He's a saint of our money.

And I'm gonna borrow a piece of him.

All right...

I'll take you to him and then

I'm gonna go, you know.

Cause I figure everything

is gonna be over with us.

I don't want any more of that.

Oh, please, please.

Let's put it together,

just... make it round and let's go back

and forget about the whole thing.

We'll never talk about it again.

Jesus, just being together is,

is enough!

No, it's not, baby!

It takes pan, bread... money.

We need a room for the night

with a double bed.

I'm sorry, sir, but this

hotel does not allow...

Now, listen...

Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin...

from Mexico City.

And we're very, very tired.

And you pluck out one of those keys

while I sign the register.

Understand?

Understand?

Best room in the house, please.

I love you.

Where are we?

We can ask for him at a place

they make furniture.

That's it. There.

-Buenos tardes.

-Yes.

What's he say?

No luck.

Yeah?

No luck at all.

I guess we came all the way for nothing.

Lemme tell you something, baby,

I could've died in Mexico City or T.J....

and never known

what the hell it was all about.

I got a chance... a ticket,

we're not gonna miss it!

Now get in there! Sit down!

And take me to him!

There ain't no more chances.

Get in!

What's she say?

I think she'd like us to go.

Well, you tell her

that we've come a long way

to pay our respects to this man.

We're very tired.

Tell her we wanna

get a room for the night.

We'll leave in the morning.

I can tell you the brandy.

Thank you.

Listen, honey... you oughta

be drunk in Fresno, California.

This place is a palace.
