Hell's Belles Page #2

Come on!

Watch it, man!

Don't mess around with it!

Hey, you!

I got a cigarette here!

Trying to kill us all, you fool.

Let's get out of here!

Come on!

This is where we part company.

Don't think it hasn't been fun.

That's probably the most

exciting news up here in years.

There's a couple of them now!

Friends probably

had something to do with that.

That's got nothing to do with us.

I'm not wasting my breath.

Get on!

Wait.

You recognize those bikes?

They're like men.

All the same.

- You wait here.

- Why?

Just do it.

Twenty cents for a can of beans.

Ain't it a shame?

I don't make the prices.

You don't mind collecting

for them, though, do you?

- What the...

- Talk to me.

- Nice and quiet.

- What do you want?

Where are the rest of your friends?

What the hell are you doing here?

Hey, Charlie, come here!

We got company!

Where are they?

Charlie?

The Mesquite Road cutoff.

Two miles down the lake.

Get the hell out of my store!

Police'll hear about this.

Let's get out of here.

He's gonna call the cops.

That should cover this.

But what about the damages?

They'll take care of that.

Here.

Take this to the bike while I make sure

your friends wait for the cops.

Can't you do anything right?

I wouldn't worry about it.

It's the end of the line, remember?

Wrong.

Your friends are camped

two miles up the road,

and I'm taking you to them.

The hell you are.

Okay. Stay here.

Those cops are

coming from Mammoth.

You and your friends will have

a good time trying to convince them

you didn't burn down

that gas station.

Remember?

Now pick that up.

I wonder how Cathy

is making out with that cowboy.

Who cares?

He sure came out on the short end

of the stick on that trade.

I like Cathy.

- Too bad Tampa had to...

- Tampa can do what he wants!

Watch what you say,

or you might be part of the next trade.

Tampa, what are we doing

down in this hole?

What do you suggest we do?

Ride up there on the mountains

where the Arizona Highway Patrol

can see us?

I don't like it down here.

- What about the gas?

- What about it?

None of us got full tanks.

We keep running around

in this back country,

we're gonna wind up

walking to Nogales.

That's old dum-dum's

fault over there.

If he hadn't burned down

the gas station,

we all would've had full tanks.

We would have been riding

to Nogales on the highway.

If I hadn't been around, you would

have burned that whole town down.

You're an arsonist,

you know that?

What's a... an arsonist?

Ok, listen. We're gonna stay off

the highway and that's that.

We're staying right here.

I don't want any more bitching,

you understand that?

Okay, dum-dum?

God dang it.

What's wrong with you?

- Who threw this rock?

- What rock?

Somebody threw a rock in my food.

Go over there and behave yourself.

It serves you right.

That ain't funny, Mongoose.

What are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about.

I didn't do nothing.

You're a liar.

You...

Watch out for the bike.

Give me a break, would ya?

Knock it off, you morons!

- I'll kill you!

- Knock it off!

You're ruining the bike!

Knock it off!

- I don't need your help.

- Hey, down there!

If you're waiting for those two goons

to come back from the store,

you're gonna get hungry...

the cops got them!

I'm returning your merchandise!

I want a refund!

Dude's crazy.

'Course he is.

No Indian giving!

A swap is a swap!

- Is that your final word?

- That's right, cowboy!

I'm meaning to get that bike back!

Come on down here,

and I'm gonna strum your head a little!

- You get up here!

- You go to hell!

You sound like a couple of kids.

Shut up.

Get out of the way, will you?

You better run for cover, because

it's gonna start raining down there!

He's gonna ruin the bike!

Let's split! Retreat!

Retreat!

Well, that was real cool.

- What's your next brilliant plan?

- Follow them.

You stupid jerk!

Will you take me back to the...

Nope. We're going after my bike.

Look... just take me

back to the store.

The cops are gone by now.

It's out of my way.

Get on!

I'm staying right here!

I'll walk back.

Come on.

You take one more step,

and you're gonna get it.

You lousy... let me go,

you dumb cowboy!

Put me down,

you stupid monkey!

Now, are you gonna behave?

Okay... have a nice walk.

If I were a man...

You'd have to be to walk out of here.

By the way, you know what to do

if you're bit by a Gila monster?

A Gila monster?

They won't let go,

so you have to cut their heads off.

Oh, come on.

There's no sense

cutting their heads off,

because their poison

will probably kill you.

There are no

Gila monsters around here.

Arizona desert's the Gila monster

capital of the world.

- You're full of bull.

- Rattlesnakes, too.

You can't scare me.

I'll never forget the time

I saw a man bit by one.

'Course he didn't live long,

but sure is something to see.

Shook all over, started foaming

at the mouth like a mad dog,

fell to the ground

and swoll up like a big balloon...

Oh, shut up!

Turned all purple and...

I've seen some fools in my day,

but you are the all-time winner.

Why don't you

give your mouth a rest?

You'll never get your bike back.

You're outnumbered.

Those guys don't mess around.

They'll kill you this time.

I've got one edge on them,

and that's gonna make all the difference.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yep.

I know every rock and hill

from here to the border.

These are my stomping grounds.

- So what?

- So I got 'em.

I don't care who gets who.

All I want is to get out

of this stinking country!

Break's over.

Now what are you doing?

What's it look like I'm doing?

What makes you think they're

gonna come through there?

There's no other way.

How much is that

damn bike worth, anyway?

Hell of a lot more than you are.

Tampa's gonna run that bike

into the ground.

When he's through with it,

it's not gonna be worth five dollars.

Get over there and stay

out of sight,

and if you make

one move to warn them...

I hope you beat

each other's brains out.

It's a slide.

Come on, get back!

Listen! Regroup!

We gotta stop running

in these gullies.

That was too close.

We're blocked off.

We're gonna have to

go over the top of the ridge.

Tampa, it'll take a hundred years.

It's gonna be dark soon.

You wanna be stuck down here

if that cowboy's up there?

Let's get those bikes moving.

Let's go.

Take care of that.

No way, man.

Let's get some more beef into it!

Let's go!

Some more beef.

Come on!

Get it up!

Let's get the other bikes!

Come on!

Up there, up there.

Let me turn it here.

Turn in here.

That's a hell of a lot of work.

I can't believe it.

Don't bother to bury me.

I'll die right here.

Okay, come on.

Let's get the rest of the bikes now!

- You gotta be nuts.

- Let's go!

- Get out of here.

- Let's go!

He's nuts.

Give him some air.

Get back.

Give him room to breathe.

He's busted up bad.

- Get him to the hospital.

- What about the cops?
