Mojave Moon Page #4

You want some advice?

Cut bait!

You know what I mean.

They're probably just a couple of

bimbos anyway.

They're not bimbos!

I can't live without you!

Please, please don't ever leave me, dear.

You need me to fix things.

Don't I always fix your cars!

Of course you do.

Boyd, we not gonna leave you.

She's your honey,

and I'm your baby.

Right, mom?

Of course we are!

You better be!

No sh*t!

Oh Boyd, don't be such a grouch!

I'm OK now.

Sal, I need you to come to Mojave with me.

I gotta check something out.

The Mojave Desert?

In this heat, are you nuts?

- I need your help.

- Forget about it!

I just want you to scare this guy!

He sees you, he'll back down.

He'll never mess with you.

- You want backup, huh?

- Will you do it?

You know I could scare the sh*t

out of this guy.

If I wanted to.

- I pay you 200 if you'll do it.

- Make it 500.

- 250, I just need your presence.

- Yeah sure, why not?

Presence...

Don't worry about this guy, Al.

I'll take care of him for you.

I'm counting on you, Sal.

Just watch what I do.

And do what I do.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna act tough!

Hey, pull up over here.

We're gonna have to

get a few things.

We're home!

- I've made up a special for you coming back.

- We're real tired, Boyd, can we do it later?

Oh, come on,

this will just take a minute.

After you, ladies!

Gotta learn... you're not going anywhere!

Don't you ever, ever, ever

leave me again!

Boyd?

A**hole!

I can't believe a civilian

could buy a weapon like that.

You got the cash, Al,

you can get anything you want!

Please, be careful.

- Don't worry about it.

- He's here.

- You're ready?

- I'm ready.

Let's go!

Al!

I don't think this is

a very good idea.

What's wrong?

I'm just an actor!

This guy could be dangerous.

You're completely armed. You got a uniform!

You're a great actor!

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Let's go!

I think I gonna f*** up!

- Oh, please don't say that.

- I'm really scared!

- Now, do it.

- I got it.

Go!

Oh, sh*t!

Nope, you can do it!

Be ready?

- OK!

- Go!

- Yo! Easy!

- Where are they?

That's it, pal. That thing might go off.

Put it down, OK?

- So where are they?

- Who?

- Answer me, damn it!

- I'm trying to. Who?

Ellie and Julie!

Oh! They're not here.

- That's too bad!

- Oh, wait!

- They went out to Barstow.

- You're lying!

Oh, you think they're here?

They're not here! Look around.

Julie!

Ellie!

See? They're not here!

Get up!

Alright. Just be careful with that thing.

Stay there!

- I'm warning you... one time.

- Are you alright?

Get in there!

OK... I'm going.

- Just... don't shoot me, OK?

- Well, don't irritate me then!

See? There's nobody here.

Where you put 'em?

I didn't put them anywhere!

They're not here!

They're in Barstow, shopping.

I swear, Mr.

I don't know about you, but I've never lied to

a guy who's holding a gun on me like that.

You believe him?

Look around!

Why he's doing this to me?

I never did anything to you!

You call planting a body

in a man's car nothing!

Mr., you got me mixed up

with somebody else!

We don't think so!

Somebody did a sick thing like

put a body in your car?

Yeah.

That is wacked!

But it wasn't me!

I didn't do it!

Julie thinks you did.

- She said that?

- So does Ellie.

Did you ever notice those two act a little off?

"off"? What do you mean, "off"?

I'm not saying anything against them,

but if you've been around them, I mean,

haven't you noticed they act

a little bit different?

- So what you're saying is...

- Come on, this is all so crazy!

I mean... you see bodies

lying around here?

You know, I don't even own a gun.

I hate the damn things!

- If you didn't do it, who did?

- I don't know.

I'm sorry, I can't trust you.

- What if he's telling the truth?

- I don't know!

- Is he gonna shoot me?

- I don't know!

Listen, why don't you put the gun down!

Sit down! Make yourselves comfortable. Wait for the gals

to come back, you can ask them yourselves.

They should be back any minute.

Maybe we will!

- Do you mind if I sit down too?

- No. No. Please! Sit down.

You know, I don't blame you.

I'll be pretty pissed too if

somebody pull that sh*t on me!

Yeah!

- I guess anybody would.

- Friends?

Friends.

- Put it down!

- No!

Come on, give me the gun.

Don't move!

Stay back!

Ooo... you killed me!

Thanks a lot, buddy!

Damn!

Hey, what are you doing?

Boyd, stop it!

Behave youself woman, or I have to hurt Ellie.

Now you don't want that, do you?

No!

- Good!

- Ow!

Boyd, you don't have to tie her up.

We'll never leave you.

Wow!

Well, I have to be sure...

...dummies snooping around!

Oh Boyd, what have you done?

They came at me!

They tried to kill me!

- Wasn't my fault!

- Oh my God!

- Don't hurt her Boyd!

- Oh... I'll never do anything like that, sweetheart!

- Unless I have to.

- What are you doing?

Have you ever had a ride

at the back of my truck?

No!

- Well, you're in for a treat!

- Oh!

- You're OK, mom?

- Ellie!

Is everybody all right in there?

'Cause I haven't forgotten you.

Kaiser?

I thought I killed you, boy!

Stay in here, I'll take care.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, please keep

your hands in the vehicle at all times.

And one and a two

and a three

That really pisses me off!

Come on, baby!

Come on!

Oh Boyd!

Don't!

- You f***ing lunatic, let it go!

- Stop this!

Boyd!

Boyd!

Boyd!

Boyd!

- Stop it, Boyd!

- Boyd!

Oh, please!

Boyd!

The brain... is working!

Where's he going?

What's he doing?

Here we go, baby!

Come on, sweetness!

Hey!

- My truck.

- Let go, you son of a b*tch!

- You're dead!

- Then I don't have to worry.

Don't move!

Sal... climb over the seat and

get into the front.

- Are you crazy?

- Do it!

I'm balancing the damn car!

- Al, I can't!

- Sal, do it!

Come on!

OK! OK!

It's rocking!

Keep going, damn it!

All right, I'll do it!

I'm doing it!

Oh God! Al!

Good! Good!

Alright Sal, now you pay attention to me.

Look at me!

Stay calm and listen to

everything I tell you.

OK.

Now, Sal.

Get Ellie and Julie, and

pull them into the front seat.

No, it'll move!

Just do it!

They're not here!

What are you talking about?

Get 'em out now!

Al?

I think you better get off

of there, you might fall.

How did you...?

Sal? When I say "jump",

get out fast!

What are you gonna do?

Jump!

O...OK!

OK!

Oh, careful!

Oh, be careful! Oh...

Oh, God!

Careful now!

- Are you all right?

- Yeah!

- Do I know you?

- Hey man, I'm Kaiser. What's up?

I feel like I've known you a long time!

You a lot taller than I thought!

Oh, boy!

Now we gonna call the cops!

You were wonderful.

Thank you.

I just... did what I had to do.

- Are you OK?

- Yeah, I'm...uh...I'm OK. I'm OK.

What about me?

Anybody care how I am?

Hey...

Don't I know you?

Sal Santori, I'm an actor.

- Gator Face. You're... you're in Gator Face!

- Yeah!

Oh, my God!

Yeah!

Yeah, it's me.

So...

You still want to get married?

No. I really don't.

Yeah, I think we should wait too.
