Yeah?

Mr. Molly to see you, Sir.

Door's open.

Good to see you, Molly.

Aw.. Lucky shot!

I told you you should have

given me more points.

A pleasure to do business with you Bud.

Thanks, you creep. Next time ten.

Sucker!

Come on in, Molly.

What's the setup?

Our sources haven't had time

to come up with anything yet.

But the word's out.

Something will break.

It always does.

Was that it?

What else can I tell you?

Thanks anyway, Honest John.

What's that for?

Well, you can tell our friend

that I don't work with my head in the bag.

Wait a minute.

I don't get it.

How long was that... roughly 3 quarter of

a million dollars to be in that bank.

A couple of days.

And who knew it was there?

Harold Young, he's the

branch manager out there.

- He knew of course.

- Anyone else?

Undoubtedly Maynard Boyle.

If you should find some sort of leak

inside the organization..

That information would be very valuable.

- Carte Blanche?

- No restrictions, the lid's off.

Very well.

- Do you have any connections in New Mexico?

- No.

You'll be alright here. Deloso

take and deliver messages.

What about transportation?

A maroon Chrysler Imperial.

Clean, all souped up.

240 on a straight

away, guaranteed.

Sounds reasonable.

It's all yours but there's a problem:

It's a repossession.

It's no problem.

Let's go!

There it is.

Hey!

Hush sonny,

I'm gonna get you a brand new puppy.

Didn't I promise you? Didn't I?

Hey Mister.

I don't want no problem so I'm

asking you in a very nice way

just to keep your hands

off that automobile.

You Randolph Percy?

Looks Mister, you caught me on a bad

day so just stay outta my face!

Well, you owe six months

payment on this car, Sir.

I owe?

I owe, uh?

That Chink son of a b*tch

burned me outta $2500

And I told him when I get my

money back he gets his car.

Look, I'm repossessing

the vehicle Mr. Percy.

You pink ass punk, you...

There are very few men that

speak to me in that tone.

A few Caucasians.

but no Negros at all.

Hey, Harman!

Yeah?!

10 o'clock news is about to come on.

You said you wanted to see it.

- Damn straight I do!

- Alright. Come on!

It's my favorite program.

Current events and all that.

Current events used to be my

favorite subject in school.

Hey Charlie. I bet you don't know

what the capital of West Virginia is.

- Charleston

- Charleston's, right.

Where is the money?

It's in there.

In the closet.

- Did you count it?

- Yeah.

How much?

$765,118, even.

I thought I'd never live

to see that much money.

Never mind have it, for my own.

- One third.

- Huh?

One-third is yours.

Two-thirds is mine.

Sure, good buddy. Sure.

That's what I meant.

We're missing the news.

...negotiations continue on a 24 hour basis.

Union spokesmen say a final solution

to the disagreements with City officials..

Appears to remain several days away.

At this hour a brush and timber fire

continues to smolder, 6

miles south of Tres Cruces,

in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo.

About a thousand acres have burnt in the fire

but authorities say it is now under control.

And there appears now to be a definitive link

between the fire..

And this morning's bank robbery

in Tres Cruces.

A car, apparently used by

the bandits and their getaway..

Remained at the scene of the fire.

Inside the car, on the front seat..

Authorities found a body,

believed to be the remains

of a woman who was

driving the getaway car.

Earlier today, our man at

the Tres Cruces bank..

Spoke to sheriff Bill Horton.

Well uh.. this here..

this here uh... body that we found is too

badly burnt for any kind of identification.

Except for the teeth.

So we've circularized every dentist in the

State with a description of the dental work.

And of course we're... we

got every bus station

and uh... railroad depot

and airport covered.

All the roads and

highways are blocked.

These people are not gonna make it

out of New Mexico... Not alive.

That I promise you.

You know, Charley...

You're just plain lucky!

How do you figure?

Because you're valuable.

You know how to fly an airplane.

And we're gonna get into

that airplane of yours and

we're gonna sail right over

them goddamn roadblocks.

What do you think of that?

Where are we gonna land?

They'll have every airport covered.

In Mexico?

Especially in Mexico.

They'll be at every landing field.

We're not gonna land in any landing fields.

You're gonna land us..

In some little old place where they never

even thought of looking for an airplane.

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

Ain't you supposed to be some

kind of hot-dog stunt pilot?

Yeah but it's been a long time since

I've done any fancy flying.

You kinda loose your knack.

Well you better find

it again in a hurry.

'Cause if you can't do that, Jimmy Dick,

what use are you?

Uh... we'll have to rig an

auxiliary gas tank on that.

Give us some cruising range.

Now you're cooking Charley!

First thing I'll have to

do is get the charts.

What charts?

Nadine's dental charts.

The X-rays.

It's the only way they

have identifying her.

I'll have to get over to that

dentist's office and... get 'em.

You got another jug around here?

Yeah.

There's one in the chest

of drawers in the bedroom.

Don't leave the trailer.

"Don't leave the trailer."

"Don't leave the trailer, Harman"

Charley, you worry too much!

No such thing as worrying to much..

Not when you got the fuzz and the

Mafia after you at the same time.

How long you reckon is gonna be

before they stop looking for us?

The fuzz will quit pretty soon.

The others never stop.

Not unless they think you're dead.

"and no washed-up, chickenshit son

of a b*tch had better try stop me!"

I painted her, I painted her

Up her belly and down her back

Every crevice and every crack.

I painted her, I painted her

Painted her through and through.

And I painted her...

Old tomato...

red, white and blue.

Come here puppy!

I'm Molly.

I'm Jana.

These are the goodies.

- He says his name is Sally.

- Molly

Sally... Molly

If you got a bell honey,

we'll find a way to ring it.

I didn't travel 600 miles for

the amusement of morons.

Is that clear ladies?

Now, just a darn minute there.

You just keep throwing your feathers

mister, before I put you in a hospital.

Are you the gentleman

we've been expecting?

My name is Molly.

I'm Beverly.

Anything you want, name it.

A good bed.

Right, I've reserved

some bedding for you.

Alright girls,

you can sit down now.

Follow me, please.

This is where my girls relax

when they're not working.

They write letters, watch television

or play cards.

Mr. Conforte,

I'll see you in just a few minutes.

Ok honey. Take good care of this man.

Oh yes, we will.

This way, please.

There's no charge for anything of course.

- No waterbeds?

- Oh, I'm sorry. We have everything else.

When I wake..

I appreciate two three-and-a-half minute eggs

a piece of dry whole wheat toast,
