Does that explain a bet of 3 000?

I'm not so sure

that did not have those 3 thousand.

Why should I believe?

Your face

a cheap crook.

-Wait a minute.

-Shut up.

You're a cheap crook

And you killed.

For two cents I changed

opinion. Delatar you.

-Okay, do not fret.

'I do not do ...

Just remember you ...

who is the boss here.

If you shut up and

I do not argue ...

Not have to worry ...

but if you act wisely ...

Get you into prison ..

as open your mouth.

-I do not dispute.

-You better not do it.

Although

look like a scammer ...

... I hate to see a young guy

smelling like you ...

Arizona ... the perfume

gives the murderers.

I'm not a murderer.

Of course not ...

Hazkel ... were killed himself.

He fell, that's all.

I've already explained.

Sure ... and then you

You gave your belongings.

I already told you why.

-Leave it.

There is no difference,

I'm not a crybaby.

I liked Hazkel less

than I like you.

-Yeah, I saw what you did.

- What do you mean?

-The scratches on his wrist.

'Of course I scratched him.

It's what I said.

Your idea was to drive

the car a little more ...

San Bernardino ... maybe even

and leave. You were going to sell?

Sell ??it ? You think I'm crazy?

Sell ??a car outside.

All I want

leave it somewhere.

Not only have no scruples,

have no brain.

I do not understand.

It may be good

I've found.

Surely you would have caught.

Tonto. Do not know

an abandoned car ...

Always starts ...

an investigation?

If the cops find him

become curious.

They wonder where

is the owner.

And unless they find Hazkel,

I find you.

Never would have thought.

It is said that the only thing

can do is sell it.

Register under another name.

For the next store.

I want to buy a bottle ...

... Before coming to Los Angeles.

Ok, I hope

and I pick you up later.

Not at all.

You come too.

From now on we

as Siamese twins.

We will do so,

but do not understand.

It happens that I do not want to miss.

Do not betray

if what you fear.

I would not say that.

I'll see you sell this car,

so you do not stop.

Thank you.

Although I think

your interest is financial.

You want a percentage

of profits.

Well, since you insist,

I can not refuse.

-The 100% will be fine.

'I you quiet.

For a minute I thought

everything you'd want.

I do not want to take advantage.

Within hours

we were in Hollywood. / i

I recognize the places

Sue described to me. / i

I was surprised by the fact

be ending the trip ... / i

... and feel that Sue was

further than the beginning. / i

Vera not joking when he said

"Like Siamese twins." / I

He rented a small

department ... / i

... as Mrs.

Charles Hazkel. / i

When I objected, said

it was to sell the car. / i

The seller would think there was

something strange if I called ... / i

... and found out we had

different names. / i

-Home, sweet home.

-Yes.

Not bad at all.

'In case there is any doubt, I

I will take the bedroom. -Yes.

It is very hot in here.

-Leave the blinds down.

-Well.

The old man said he had a bed

recessed behind this door.

Do you know how this works?

I invented it.

- Any questions?

'You can not have everything.

I will use the bathroom first.

I do not know why, but

I knew you would.

Good! You feel better

to be clean.

Although I have five kilos less.

Could be.

I think you manage to do so

keep your body young.

I wish such

stop playing the saxophone.

It makes me nervous.

Forget it.

Drink something.

Are you not afraid to drink a lot?

If you do not want bebieras

do not offer it.

Why are you so irritable?

you did you get into this.

You should be grateful

that it has betrayed you.

If I had not been comprehensive

'd be in jail.

So cheer up.

Shake off that evil genius

Or your conscience bother you?

-No, not so.

-Great, that's good.

He's dead and nothing can

back to life.

I will never understand this concern

for something that was done.

For the last time

I say that I did not kill him.

Hazkel was sick. Perhaps there

before falling dead, do not know.

Sure, sure. He died

old. According ...

... If it makes you feel better ...

... You did not kill him.

Thank you.

-We have no liquor, Roberts.

-Yes.

Too bad, tonight

I wanted to be happy.

-Well, I think you did.

- Am I happy?

Like a dog with two tails.

That is good.

Just wanted to be.

Why? Why

wanted to be happy?

I do not know, for some things.

You should have

my concerns.

If I had your problems

remain sober.

I have the key

that door!

You're right.

-I have always right.

Do you know? I do not like

your attitude, Roberts.

Well, there are many things

I do not like.

Insurance.

Life is like

a ball game ...

... One should use what

arrive before awakening ...

... In the second half.

I bet you read it.

That's the problem with you.

All you do is complain.

I take it easy.

And the best way.

Maybe that's what makes

every evil work.

Let us leave that, Professor.

People try to

dodge fate.

Think of yourself, for example.

You're lucky to be alive.

Suppose Hazkel

would open your door.

Now yaceras in the field.

Think about it.

I am very tired.

There are many people dying

at this moment ...

And would give anything ...

to change place with you.

I know

what I'm talking about.

I'm not so sure.

At least they know

what to expect ...

and not have to sweat blood

wondering what will happen.

Your philosophy stinks, man.

We all know

we will die some day ...

the only problem is when.

Why are we

talking about this?

Next time

talk about politics.

Where are the cigarettes?

On the table, a**hole.

We are bored mutually

talking for a couple hours. / i

Every five minutes I suspected

you want another bottle ... / i

... or radio, or something to read. / i

Finally, we ended the conversation. / i

I know there are only eleven,

but I get up early ...

... To view used cars.

Do not worry about that ...

Have all the time ...

the world.

Maybe you have it,

but if you think ...

I'll stay ... here

more than you need, you're crazy.

Not a bad place.

They pay a lot for a place

like this in New York.

I would not even

outside the Ritz.

Terrible liquor.

Have an unusual cough, you should

do something about it.

I will.

That's what Camille said.

- Who?

-No one you know.

- Not the lady who died

of tuberculosis? -Yes.

It would be a relief for

if you die fast.

Free with car

stolen from the old Hazkel.

I do not want to die

anyone else.

Not even me?

Especially you.

One person was me.

If you happen to you ...

would be what I need.

Do not taste,

Is not it, Roberts?

Yup ?

I love you.

My favorite sport is

I have a prisoner.

After selling

the car can go to hell.

But not until then.

I'm going to bed.

Good night. Do not try

to steal away at night.

All doors

are closed.

Anyway ...

In the morning ... if I see that you're gone

I will notify the police.

'They get you.

Do not worry, I can take care.

Good night.

I hope that the folding bed
