Hey, Gus, what were the odds

the first time I got hit?

And what about the odds

the second time I got hit?

[Chuckles]

Hey, Joe, if I could fix the car,

I' d do it myself.

Besides, that's the worst

place you could be is behind a tree.

Yeah, you see?

I mean, I can't... I can't

fix the Barracuda, man.

So let's just fix the Barracuda

and go find the money, all right?

Hey, come on, here.

I me... Oh, come on, Joe,

don't be silly.

Hey, Gus, I'm trying to be intelligent

about this, you know?

What do you mean, intelligent?

you're being silly, man.

Nothing' s gonna happen!

What do you mean, intelligent?

Nothing' s gonna happen!

Hey, Gus, it hurts

to get hit by lightning. You

don't know what it feels like.

Hey, Joe, watch. Uh, look.

[Crying] A-A-All the little guy

11 paces to the big tree

underneath the water nest.

where Mad Maggie rests.

He was not there, and

they don't want to talk to me.

- What happened here?

- A fire.

I can see it was a fire.

How did it start?

- Two guys from up north

blew up their room.

- You don't say?

One tall, one short,

in a blue car?

Yes. Yeah. I, uh...

I wait on the tables

for the tall and the small one.

They say

where they were going?

The tall one,

he come to me and he said...

He showed me a map,

and he want to know

where was Snickerson's.

- Airboats. Gotcha.

- So l... So l...

If you see them,

you tell them...

that I love them very much

and I want to see them again...

- and that they're very nice,

very attractive boys.

[Gus]

You sure we're going the right way?

Yeah, there's the arch, Gus.

We gotta go under that arch

and turn right, Gus.

- We should be able to see the

island once we get past this.

- Oh, yeah?

- what's the next landmark?

- We gotta go right,

and then there's twin trees.

I can't wait

to get there.

- Sure scary in here, Gus.

- Yeah.

that's a log over there?

- that's only a log.

- Oh, okay. Here.

- Go through this arch, then go right.

Straight through there, Gus.

it's a lot of work,

but it's gonna be worth it, Gus.

I-it's the palm tree

with nothin' on it.

We make a left here

and then there's a tree

with a flower on it, Gus.

that's it. Hey, look!

on it. that's it.

- that's a pretty flower.

And there's the cave, Gus.

It just said watch out for Mad Maggie.

Who's Mad Maggie?

It was just something

on the map, probably

to keep people away.

Mad Maggie.

Keep them away, yeah.

- Come on, Gus.

- All right.

This is the hole, though.

- This is the hole, that's right.

- Yeah. it's kind of dark

in there, Joe.

- I got a light for you, Gus.

- For me?

- Well, I figured you

should go in first, Gus.

- Oh, yeah, yeah.
