Nadine Page #7

a whole lot bigger.

Get on out there.

(CLANGING)

(CLANGS)

(NADINE SCREAMS)

(GASPING)

Hon, if you wasn't

to yell so much,

I'd sure appreciate it.

Understand?

Here.

Come on.

(GUN FIRING)

He's over there

by that rusted-out Chevy.

This ought to keep

'em busy long enough

for us to get outta here.

You got a match?

Do I look like

I have a match?

You know,

you could be

a hell of a lot

more help sometimes.

All right, here's

what we're gonna do.

I'm gonna start shootin'.

You're gonna throw this

as close as you can

to that car.

I'm gonna set it off

from here.

You ready?

Vernon,

is this gonna work?

No.

Oh!

You missed.

Hell, I know that much!

Listen, this is not

the easiest thing

in the world.

You didn't think

I could do it,

did you?

All right, come on,

let's get outta here.

All right.

Wait here.

I'm gonna

get the pickup.

I'll be right back.

Vernon Hightower,

you leave me

all alone here...

(GUN COCKING)

Mr. Hightower,

you're beginnin'

to get on my nerves.

Nadine?

That's right.

(SIGHING)

Why is it you work your

butt off all your life

just to get ahead,

and it takes a couple of

nitwits about 10 minutes

to screw

the whole thing up?

Honey, once I get

that shuffleboard in,

I can enlarge

the dance floor,

get a bandstand,

a crystal chandelier.

Aren't you countin' your

chickens just a little

early, sport?

Trust me, hon.

Now then,

about the new sign.

What new sign?

You think 40-foot

across is too small?

40-foot across?

Have you gone

out of your mind?

I guess you're right.

Anything bigger than

that would look gaudy.

If you think you're gonna

throw away all our money

on some...

Just trust me.

Vernon Hightower,

let's get one thing

straight right now.

The Blue Bonnet's

never gonna do squat.

I don't care

how much money

you put into it.

You know, I was thinking

somethin' in neon, that

sort of revolves...

The sound of my voice don't

seem to be reachin' your ears.

Hon, we gonna

have us a baby.

And you know

what that means?

That means we have to

start actin' responsibly.

And you know

what that means?

We'll put it high up

so people can see it

for miles around.

"Nadine Hightower's world

famous Blue Bonnet Bar

and Lounge."

(PHONE RINGING)

What color neon?

Royal blue.

Uh-uh, pink.

Pink's my lucky color.

Well, we'll talk about it.

Mmm, maybe we could

paint the outside

a little.

Put up

a big picture window,

somethin' like that.

I could hire some waitresses

with those little short

uniforms on,

you know, with the bows

in the back.

Now then,

Mr. Hightower,

we've listened

to Mr. Dwight Estes

and Ed "The Mountain" Hayes.

They both

corroborate your story.

Furthermore, the prints found

on the weapon used to kill

Mr. Floyd Simmons

belong to Buford Pope.

We're formally charging him

with the murders of

Raymond Escobar

and Floyd Simmons.

Well, if you'd listened

to me in the first place,

we'd all have

saved lots of time.

Mr. Hightower, just about the

only thing you're not guilty

of is murder.

First, we have

a resisting arrest.

Then we have

breaking and entering.

Then we have some

more resisting arrest.

And we have something here

we haven't quite figured

out what to call it yet.

And then,

according to Mr. Hayes,

you entered into a conspiracy

to defraud the state of Texas

by stealin' a map from

the Highway Department

for the purpose

of commercial gains.

Well, that is about the

damnedest thing that

I've ever heard of.

Isn't that about the

damnedest thing you

ever heard of?

Then you deny having

said map on your person?

You're damn-well right

we deny it.

Don't we now, honey?

Then you won't mind

if we search you.

Oh, hold on.

I didn't say that.

Good. Uh, Sam and Gerald.

Hey, now.

Hey, wait a minute, now.

Hey, I know my rights.

I'm supposed to be

able to call my lawyer.

All right. You can do

what you want with me.

My wife didn't know

anything about this.

Do you know what

the penalty is for

somethin' like this?

Six to twelve

in Huntsville.

Vernon, trust me.

No use looking for

a cheap joint, honey

Wastin' my time and money

Those days are through

Since I found you

Just a little love

in the morning light

Now I've got the feeling

that just one night won't do

Since I found you

Since I found you, honey,

I found love

You're the only one

that I'm dreamin' of

I don't miss doin'

what I used to do

I don't miss nothin'

since I found you

You don't miss nothin'

since I found you

No more walkin' down

lonely street

Wearin' holes

in both of my feet

And feelin' blue

Since I found you

Don't really matter

what the boys are doin'

All I really care

about is you and me

Stayin' true

Since I found you

Since I found you,

honey, I found love

You're the only one

that I'm dreamin' of

I don't miss doin'

what I used to do

I don't miss nothin'

since I found you

Don't miss nothin'

since I found you

Since I found you,

honey, I found love

You're the only one

that I'm dreamin' of

I don't miss doin'

what I used to do

I don't miss nothin'

since I found you

I don't miss nothin'

since I found you

Since I found you,

honey, I found love

You're the only one

that I'm dreamin' of

I don't miss doin'

what I used to do

I don't miss nothin'

since I found you

Don't miss nothin'

since I found you

Since I found you,

honey, I found love

You're the only one

that I'm dreamin' of

I don't miss doin'

what I used to do

I don't miss nothin'

since I found you

Don't miss nothin'

since I found you

Since I found you,

honey, I found love

You're the only one

that I'm dreamin' of

I don't miss doin'

what I used to do
