Deliverance Page #3

Well, we require that you get

your goddamn ass up in them woods.

- All right, now, look.

- Right now! You get up there now.

Okay, all right.

- Get up there.

- All right.

Faster, boy.

- Move your ass.

- Easy with the weapon!

You shut up.

- Come on.

- Okay.

- Back here.

- What's the trouble?

- You're in trouble.

- Just don't argue with 'em, Ed.

- See that saplin' over yonder?

- You heard him.

Back up against this.

Is this a matter of money?

If we want money, we'll take it.

- Back up against the tree.

- I'm pretty far back against it now.

Now, stay just there. Now, be real still.

If he tries that again, shoot that one there.

I'll blow his damned balls off.

You ain't a big boy.

Be still now.

Now let's you just drop them pants.

Drop?

Just take 'em right off!

I mean, what's this all about?

Don't say anything, just do it.

Just drop 'em, boy!

You ever had your balls cut off,

you f***in' ape?

Lord.

Look there, that's sharp.

I bet it'd shave a hair.

Why don't you try it and see?

Lord. Deliver us from all...

Pull off that little bitty shirt there, too.

Is he bleeding?

He bled.

Them panties, take 'em off.

Get up, boy!

Come on, get on up there.

No, no, no.

Oh, no. Don't.

- Don't.

- Hey, boy.

- You look just like a hog.

- No, don't.

Just like a hog.

Come here, piggy, piggy, piggy.

Come on, piggy. Come on, piggy.

Come on, piggy, give me a ride.

- Get up and give me a ride.

- All right.

- Get up and give me a ride.

- All right.

- Get up! Get up there!

- All right.

Oh, no, no.

Looks like we got us a sow here

instead of a boar.

Don't!

Don't!

What's the matter, boy?

I bet you squeal.

I bet you can squeal like a pig.

Let's squeal. Squeal now.

Squeal.

Squeal.

Squeal louder. Louder.

Louder.

Louder.

Louder!

Louder! Get down now, boy!

There, get them britches down.

That's that.

You can do better than that, boy.

Come on, squeal. Squeal!

What's you wanna do with him?

He got a real pretty mouth, ain't he?

That's the truth.

You're gonna do some prayin' for me, boy.

And you better pray good.

Here, hold that on him.

You better run, you son of a b*tch!

Can't we do anything for him?

No.

It's a center shot.

I thought they'd surely kill us.

They would have.

They would have for sure.

What we gonna do with him?

There's not but one thing to do:

Take the body down to Aintry.

Turn it over to the highway patrol.

Tell 'em what happened.

Tell 'em what, exactly?

Just what happened.

This is justifiable homicide if anything is.

They were sexually assaulting

two members of our party at gunpoint.

Like you said, there was nothin' else

we could do.

Is he alive?

Not now.

Well, let's get our heads together.

Come on, let's not do anything foolish.

Anybody know anything about the law?

I was on jury duty once.

It wasn't a murder trial.

Murder trial?

I don't know the technical word for it,

Drew, but I know this:

You take this man and turn him over

to the sheriff, there'll be a trial all right.

Trial by jury.

So what?

We killed a man, Drew.

Shot him in the back.

A mountain man.

Cracker.

Gives us somethin' to consider.

All right, consider it. We're listening.

Sh*t, all these people are related.

I'll be damned if I'll come back

and stand trial...

...with this man's aunt and uncle...

...maybe his mama and his daddy

sittin' in the jury box.

What do you think, Bobby?

How about you, Ed?

I don't know. I really don't know.

Now you listen, Lewis.

I don't know what you got in mind...

...but if you conceal this body,

you'll be charged with murder.

That much law I do know.

This ain't one of your f***in' games!

You killed somebody!

There he is!

I see him, Drew.

That's right, I killed somebody.

But you're wrong if you don't see this

as a game.

Now you listen, Ed!

Damn it, we can get out of this thing!

Without any questions asked!

We get connected up with that body

and the law...

...this thing's gonna be hangin' over us

the rest of our lives.

We gotta get rid of that guy.

Just how are you gonna do that, Lewis?

Where?

Anywhere.

Everywhere.

Nowhere.

How do you know that other guy

hasn't already gone for the police?

What in the hell is

he gonna tell 'em, Drew?

What he did to Bobby?

Why couldn't he go get

some other mountain men?

Now why isn't he gonna do that?

You look around you, Lewis!

He could be out there anywhere,

watchin' us right now.

We ain't gonna be so goddamned

hard to follow, draggin' a corpse.

You let me worry about that, Drew.

You let me take care of that.

You know what's gonna be here?

Right here. A lake.

As far as you can see.

Hundreds of feet deep.

Hundreds of feet deep.

Did you ever look over a lake...

...and think about somethin' buried

underneath it?

Buried underneath it!

Man, that's about as buried as you can get!

Well, I am telling you, Lewis,

I don't want any part of it.

Well, you are part of it!

It is a matter of the law!

The law?

The law?

What law?

Where's the law, Drew?

You believe in democracy, don't you?

Yes, I do.

Well, then, we'll take a vote.

I'll stand by it.

So will you.

What do you say, Bobby?

Let's bury him.

I don't want this gettin' around.

Okay?

Okay?

It's up to you, Ed.

It's all up to you, Ed.

Now just think what you're doin', Ed.

For God's sake.

You got a wife.

You got a child.

You're not involved in this.

Think about your family, Ed.

This may be the most important decision

of your whole life, Ed.

Yes!

There's no way we can change this.

There's no way we can change

what happened to Bobby.

We gotta do the right thing.

We must live with it for the rest

of our lives.

Right!

I'm with Lewis.

All right, let's get on with it, then.

Lewis. Let's go.

What's the plan, Lewis?

Plan?

We just paddle on down to Aintry,

get the cars and go home.

Put your jacket on, Drew.

Drew!

Put your life jacket on!

Drew, paddle! Drew!

Drew?

Drew, what's the matter?

Lewis, somethin's wrong. To the side.

Something's wrong!

No! Go on!

What is it?

Don't stop, Ed!

- I'm gonna pull in.

- Go! Go!

What happened?

Look out!

Where's Drew?

My leg's broke.

Where's Drew?

I'm takin' roll call!

Drew was shot!

Somethin' happened to him.

What?

Drew was shot.

Shot?

Here, here.

Hold him here.

- I got him.

- Hold on!

Drew was shot!

Bobby, Drew was shot!

He was shot, Bobby!

Drew was shot!

Here's his jacket!

He wasn't wearin' it!

Maybe Lewis is right!

Of course, he's right. Of course!

You mean that other guy shot him?

Did he?

Did you see him?

Drew was shot.

Lewis says that other guy...

...that toothless bastard, shot him!

He's right up there!

He's gonna try and kill us, too!

If he killed Drew...

...he's gonna have to kill us!

Lewis, I'll tell you what.

We'll wait until dark, and we'll put you

in the bottom of the canoe...

...and we'll sneak out of here.

- Okay, Ed?

- Bobby, look at those rapids down there!

- Look at those rapids!

- Christ!

We can't move out of here in the dark.
