a bullet through his head?

- No, he's gonna push.

- Do it now.

- Push, Joe.

- Gus, I can't.

- I know.

- He scared me.

I know, Joe.

it's tough, man. it's tough.

- Oh, Gus.

- it's tough.

My car, Gus.

You'll get

another one, Joe.

You two wouldn't understand.

I really deserve that money.

I made those women feel

like somebody really

loved them, you know?

Believe me, it wasn't easy.

I deserve every penny.

So you just sit there...

and think about me

going off to a life

of wealth and luxury...

while you've only got your

dreary little poverty-stricken

lives to go back to.

But I'm sure you'll enjoy

spending Thanksgiving

here together.

Oh, what? Have I ruined your plans

for the holidays?

Oh, I am so sorry.

You think you're so big.

A big tough guy

picking on women.

- You go rob women.

- Hey, Joe.

Beat up on them

and kill them and stuff.

- Shut up, Joe.

- I'm not scared of him, Gus.

it's who he is.

You want to fight everybody.

Why don't you join the army

if you want to fight?

Gojoin the Marines,

fiight with them.

See how tough you are.

- Hey, Joe, don't make him mad.

- He made us push my car

in that swamp.

Thanks a lot,

creep, creep, creep, creep.

- you're a creep. Creep, creep.

- Yeah. Joe!

Creep, creep...

J-J-Joe! Tell him you're sorry, Joe.

H-H-He didn't mean it.

don't hurt him.

Joe, tell him you're sorry.

Tell him you didn't mean it, Joe.

he's sorry. He said he's sorry.

[Muttering]

- [Gasping]

- Joe! you're gonna kill him!

Joe! don't kill him!

- Joe.

- You know, for an insignificant,

ignorant little man...

you've got

a really big mouth.

Now shut it.

You all right, Joe?

Joe, I hate that guy.

I' d love to stay

and chat with you, but, uh,

I've got a plane to catch.

You know, you two should

really grow up. you've got

children of your own, you know?

Now that is

a really scary thought.

I could kill you now,

but it's not worth it.

The alligators

will probably get you.

[Engine Starts]
