Gator Page #7

---

You understand what I'm telling you?

It's "come and get us" time.

Right.

I'm at the Ocean Plaza Motel,

Dunston Beach.

Get some people down here. Now!

Operator, get me the Dunston

Police Department, please.

Dunston Police Department.

I want to talk to Bama McCall.

Just tell him Gator's calling.

Mr. McCall is not with

the Police Department.

I know that, darling.

But he's got a phone in his big red car.

Just get him on the goddamn phone!

We have someone on the line that

wants to talk to you, Mr. McCall.

He insists he knows you.

Who is it?

He just said Gator.

Put the boy on, honey.

- Gator?

- It's me.

Where you at, boy?

You'll find out.

I want $2,000 and a

plane ticket back home.

I thought you had already gone home.

And what do you want $2,000 for?

I got something you want.

Some papers.

Accounting papers, stuff like that.

I heard all them papers done burned up.

Not all of them.

All right, you got a deal.

Just tell me where I gotta bring them.

$2,000 and a plane ticket back home.

Right, $2,000 and a plane ticket.

All I gotta know is where you're at.

You ain't gonna bring that nasty

old gun with you, are you?

I ain't gonna bring that gun.

The Ocean Plaza Motel.

Dunston Beach.

Turn this son of a b*tch around.

You all right?

Yeah.

I need your help.

You got it.

I want you to take those pillows...

and make a couple of lumps

under the bed sheet.

Like you and me?

- Right.

- Okay.

Pull the drapes.

Let's get outta here.

Easy.

I'm going to let you have this one.

Holy sh*t!

Get out. Move, dummy!

Hi.

Come here.

- I saw you last night.

- You did?

- Yes.

- Did you really?

National! I went national.

Did you hear how Cronkite introduced me?

I don't remember the exact words.

Why not? I do.

"In Dunston County,

Aggie Weedow Maybank has the story."

That's the first time in my whole

life anybody ever said it right.

- I can understand that.

- And I'm sitting in the room...

my hands are dripping sweat,

I was so nervous.

They were sitting around.

I kept thinking:

"What if the tape breaks?

We're on national TV."

You looked wonderful.

I'm so happy.

I didn't even tell you the best part.

They called me from New York,

and they want me to...

Go on, they want you to

go to New York, and what?

CBS called, and they want me

to bring some tapes over...

and do some interviews.

Probably nothing will happen.

It Will.

'Cause you want it so much.

I want it more than

anything in the world.

I know.

I wanted you to meet my daughter.

I'd love to meet her someday.

I love you.

I know.

New York?

I learned a lot from you.

I learned a lot from you, too.

I'll see you.
