Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior Page #2

All we have to do is walk away!

No! We've worked too hard!

It's simple! All we do is change the

fuel and this junkyard for our lives!

Look, if we walk out there,

they'll slaughter us!

They'll set us loose and

then cut us down like pigs!

Don't listen to them!

All right, all right!

I'll talk to this Humungus!

He's a reasonable man...

...open to negotiation.

He promised us safe passage!

He gave his word!

And let us suppose he keeps it...

...and we walk away from here

with our lives. What then?

Do we wander the Wasteland and

become like them? Savages.

But remember!

Remember one thing: That is

more than just a tanker of gas.

That is our lifeline to a place

beyond that vermin on machines.

That's 2,000 miles from here!

How do you expect us to

get it there? Drag it?

If we have to, yes!

There's always a way!

But the first step:

Defend the fuel.

Words!

Just words!

You'd die for a pipe dream!

We fight for a belief! I stay!

I wish it could have worked,

Pappagallo.

You can't expect to compete with that.

Every day we get weaker while they

get stronger... lt's finished!

I'm sorry.

Two days ago I saw a vehicle

that could haul that tanker.

If you wanna get out of here...

you talk to me.

Okay, so that's my offer.

I deliver a rig big enough to

haul that tanker of yours...

...you give me back my vehicle

and as much juice as I can carry.

We lost 8 good people this morning.

What's he got in mind?

Now to do the job I need

five gallons of diesel...

...and some high-octane gasoline.

Think of it as a down payment.

And that's the last

we'll ever see of him.

He has to come back for his wheels.

What have we got to lose?

You've got yourself a deal.

My vehicle and all

the juice I can carry.

Come on, dog.

You know what I miss most of all?

Clean women.

Nail polish, perfume...

...the smell of bicycle

seats, cocktails...

Shut up!

Lingerie. Remember lingerie?

I knew it! I knew it would work!

Lethal! Lethal these snakes.

Born killers.

It's my snake! I trained it.

I'm gonna eat it!

So find your own! Get out of it!

I've got a recipe for snake.

Delicious.

Fricassee of reptile.

Better than your dog food!

Pure protein...

...minerals, vitamins.

A man's gotta look after himself.

Healthy mind, healthy body, dog.

You are what you eat, I reckon.

Get away!

You two ought to take a look

in the mirror some time.

No style, no taste.

Empty!

All this time!

That's dishonest... low!

Let's have a look at

this machine of yours.

How do I know that one's not a dud?

Find out.

Now you've got to understand the basics

of aerodynamics in a thing like this.

Shut up... shut up!

What about me? You're not

gonna leave me here, are you?

Do what you want.

We're partners!

You and me... we're partners!

Partners!

Go! Go!

My dogs, run! The gate!

The gate! The gate!

You! You can run...

...but you can't hide!

You did a great job.

Don't go overboard now.

Don't touch, please.

It's a precision instrument.

Don't touch!

Tell me, son... this machine of yours...

...it can take two, can it?

Possibly.

I'm okay. Just get them organized.

We're moving out tonight.

Okay, listen, everyone.

We're going out tonight.

You all know what to do,

just get on with it.

Timbo, Derek...

Pappagallo's been hurt.

How's the rig?

The rig. How is she?

Got a cracked timing case cover

and it's broken...

...a couple of teeth off

the timing gears.

Got a cracked timing case cover,

it's broken...

...a couple of teeth off the timing gear.

The radiator's damaged at the core.

It's got a cracked water pump.

It's got a fractured injector line.

Well, what does all that mean?

Yeah, okay, but what does that mean?

- What does that mean?

- 24 hours!

They got 12!

You've got 12!

Listen, I was wrong about you...

...and I'm sorry.

It's a long time since I've

seen driving like that, man.

You're okay by me, son.

With you driving that rig, we got it

licked! Nice to have you aboard, son.

I've been saving these.

I want you to have them.

Thank you, and welcome.

It's been a pleasure doing business

with you, but I'm leaving.

Oh, my God, look!

Up on the hill!

They're stringing them up,

the bastards!

Look!

You have defied me! You will know...

...the vengeance of

The Lord Humungus!

I promise you...

...nobody... nobody...

...gets out of here alive!

Who's supposed to be helping

out with the drums? Come on!

Come on with the drums, come on!

What's wrong? Come on.

It just seems wrong

sneaking away like this.

But you said you wanted

to come, sweetheart.

I know I did.

Look, you're scared now. Come on,

it'll be much safer up there.

What are we waiting for, eh?

This is my family...

...l'm not going to leave these people.

I'm staying.

I'm sorry.

Come on, I'll show you!

I told you. He's leaving.

Look, I don't have time for long

speeches, I want you to drive the tanker.

Sorry.

We had a contract.

I kept my part of the bargain.

We'll make a new contract.

I've got all I need here.

You don't have a future. I could

offer you that. Rebuild our lives.

Buy a ticket for 2,000 miles.

You have to come, sonny.

This is where we're going. Paradise!

Fresh water, plenty of sunshine...

Nothing to do but breed.

No thanks.

What is it with you?

What are you looking for?

Come on, Max, everybody's

looking for something.

You happy out there, are you?

Eh? Wandering... one day

blurring into another?

You're a scavenger, Max.

You're a maggot.

Do you know that? You're living

off the corpse of the old world.

Tell me your story, Max.

What burned you out, huh?

Kill one man too many? See too

many people die? Lose some family?

Oh, so that's it. You lost some family.

That make you something special, does it?

Listen to me...

Do you think you're the

only one that's suffered?

We've all been through it in

here, but we haven't given up.

We're still human beings, with dignity.

But you, you're out

there with the garbage.

You're nothing!

Get out, kid!

Go on, get out of here.

Go on, get out. Scat! Get out!

You're letting him go?

Well, let's keep his vehicle at least.

He fulfilled his contract.

He's an honorable man.

Okay, so who's gonna drive the tanker?

I am.

They've got you wrong,

you're not a coward.

Stupid, maybe, but not a coward.

You're making a serious mistake...

...splitting a great team.

You and me together, think

of the possibilities.

See you around, maybe.

Good-bye, good luck.

We go!

You disobey me! You puppy!

Toadie, the gas! Hurry up!

Don't waste him! If he's alive...

...I want him!

The tanks are full, O mighty

Wez, and it's all yours.

It's all over. Let's go!

Look! Out there.

Oh, hell!

You blew it, you fool!

Relax, partner!

I'll be driving the tanker.

We're going to crash or crash through.

Now, at this point, that's

all they want:
The tanker.

So they'll come straight after us.

So we'll use that to

punch our way out...

...which will give all of

you a very, very good chance.
