Just Getting Started Page #8

---

Yeah. Road don't go anywhere.

Maybe we can box him in.

Well, it might be a trap.

So what?

They're after your ass, not mine.

That's not Oscar.

Well, let's go see who the hell it is.

- You know what you're doin'?

- Generally.

Stop right there!

No, no, no, no! Don't shoot, don't shoot.

Who are you?

Listen, some lunatic gave me $500

to torch your van

and to lead you down here.

Here?

Yeah.

Answer the phone.

Hello?

It's for you.

Leo McKay.

Look up.

You're lookin' for me?

What do you want?

I got your girl.

I wanna trade her for Duke.

- That'll work.

- What?

No, Leo. He'll shoot me in the head.

Yeah, well, there is that.

What do you want us to do?

I want you to sit tight and I'll send you

coordinates of where we'll meet up.

Leo?

You're not really gonna trade me

for her, are you?

She's a lot prettier

and I'd really like to make the trade,

but my essential sense

of human dignity and decency

will not permit it.

However, we need him to think I will.

Aw, I sure am glad you're you.

- Hey, can I put my hands down now?

- Shut up.

Where?

Utah Trail toward 29 Palms.

Turn off at the old water tower.

You know where that is?

Not a clue.

How the hell are we supposed to find that?

Waze.

God!

What the hell is that?

It's an app. You can download it.

Really?

Let's get started. Drive safe.

I have another confession to make.

Let 'er rip.

I was married for 33 years...

to the first woman I ever fell for.

She died about six years ago,

and it put me off my game.

After three or four years,

I felt I should see other women,

but it didn't feel right.

You wanna tell Duke about it?

There's something about Miss Quince

that just shook me out of my malaise.

She's gorgeous, of course, but she's...

There's nothin' frivolous about her.

She's a woman of...

substance and gravitas.

Gravitas.

Put me down, you jackass!

Where's my dog? Romeo!

Where's my dog?

Now doesn't all this sharing

make you feel better, huh?

I could fall in love with her.

In 0. 1 mile keep left.

You know, you're always the hero.

I think I'd like to be heroic sometime.

How heroic do you wanna be?

Hm?

Um...

Well...

Uh, you know, just...

Moderately. Just enough.

You wanna keep

your braggin' rights to the women.

You know me well. Yeah, huh?

You think that's an honorable reason

to wanna be heroic?

I do.

I got a plan.

You know, you remind me of my mother.

- That's so sweet.

- Yeah. All right.

All right.

This is where it begins.

You all right in there, Suzie?

- Leo, I'm okay.

- I am not armed.

I am here to give you what you want.

And to take what I want.

Hey, stand right there!

What you got under that hat?

A little hair.

Ha! You send me Willy.

We can work this out

to everybody's satisfaction.

Why don't you put the gun down

and we'll talk.

Give me Duke!

Damn! You shot my truck

and now you're tryin' to shoot my boots!

You give me Duke or Willy

or whatever he calls himself. Now!

You can have him.

I never liked him anyway.

Oh.

Ha!

Oh! That hurts!

He shot me!

Bye-bye.

Christmases seem to blur together.

You know? This one stands out.

It's startin' to feel special.

We're gonna have to call

the sheriff now.

I don't know about you guys,

but I sure could use a cocktail.

Here, here.

I'm starting to understand

the affection you have for this place,

whoever you are.

To you, Sweet Willy.

You did a brave thing today.

I didn't think you had it in you.

- And you saved the day, cousin.

- I ain't your cousin.

Well, but you like me a little, huh?

A little.

There goes Rudolph.

And there goes Snoopy.

Adios, Snoopy.

Hey! It's New Year's in New York.

Happy New Year, everybody!

Earlier to bed?

Uh, with any luck,

maybe two balls will drop tonight.

Girl, you are delusional.

Hey, I've never seen you guys

lookin' so sharp.

- Or you so beautiful.

- To the ladies and ladies.

Arturo, Miss Quince, I think you know my

cronies and their lovely ladies.

- Of course I do. Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year!

I think it's about midnight

in Times Square.

Oh, yeah!

Nine o'clock in California

is good enough for me.

At the end of the day, I have to admit,

I have a soft spot for Duke.

Wherever they're relocating him,

do you think he's going to be okay?

My dear, the Duke will always be okay.

Yeah.

Strike up the band, boys.

May old acquaintance be forgot

Ladies and gentlemen of the

Tropical Resort Retirement Community,

say hello to your new resident manager,

Mr. Marvel Bigelow.

Music!

Christmas

Is a very special time of the year

It's a precious time

And I'm waiting here

Can't wait to get close to you

Christmas

Is a house adorned

With tinsel and lights

It's a cozy fire and long quiet night

That let me get close to you

No one else, dear, will do

Darling you, only you

Make my holiday list

I can't wait till we've kissed

And then everything that follows

Makes my year every December

Don't forget to remember

That Christmas

Is two lovers strolling home

In the snow

And then warming up

The best way they know

Oh, let me get close to you

'Cause you're all I want for Christmas

And Christmas is here
