Out of the Past Page #8

Everything you say

to me, I believe.

I don't know why I do this.

I don't know why I let you come

back into my life. Why I don't...

slap your face and send

you home. I don't know.

- Because you said you'd come back.

- But not like this.

- You didn't kill him, did you?

- No.

You know, I had to come back.

- Take me with you, Jeff.

- I have to play this alone.

- You've seen her again?

- Yeah, I saw her.

- Was it the same?

- I saw her, and it was nothing.

She can't be all bad. No one is.

Well, she comes the closest.

- Are you going to see her again?

- Tonight, for the last time.

Then look at her.

And look at yourself.

And be very sure that there isn't

even a little bit of love left for her.

Then when you find out and you

know it once and forever...

send for me.

I don't have to find out.

I know it now.

- That's all I wanted to hear.

- You know, maybe I was wrong...

and luck is like love. You have

to go all the way to find it.

You do to keep it.

You better go. Did the

kid do what I told him?

They're following him south,

the state police and all of them.

Good.

I can't go.

- You can put that away.

- JEFF:
I can't think of a better place to put it.

- I just want to tell you something.

- Tell it.

I was going to kill you.

- Who isn't?

- Or tell the cops where you were.

I followed Ann tonight.

- What stopped you?

- Some things you said to her.

- You said were gonna tell me something.

- I grew up with her.

I've loved her ever since

I fixed her roller skates.

I don't know whether I'm good enough

for her, but I know you aren't.

That's one difference. The

other is that she loves me.

You told her you didn't know why you

let her back into your dirty life.

I don't know what got you where you

are or where it's gonna take you.

She's not going with it.

Why don't you say it to the law.

Then all the rest of your life

you can tell her how you did it.

KATHIE:
You can't make deals

with a dead man, Jeff.

No, you can't.

- Let's get out of here.

- There's someplace left to go?

- I think so.

- You're running the show now?

Do you mind, Jeff?

Remember the mountains? Higher than

these and always snow on them.

- We should have stayed there.

- I'm trying to remember something else.

I never told you I was

anything but what I am.

You just wanted to imagine I was.

That's why I left you.

Now we're back to stay.

- And I have nothing to say about it?

- Well, have you?

Whit's dead. A bundle of

papers isn't any good.

If Joe was around, you could

use him, but Joe's dead too.

So, what are you gonna do

about Eels and Fisher?

For that matter, what are

you gonna do about this?

Someone has to take the blame.

You have nothing on me, but I'd make

a fine witness for the prosecution.

Don't you see? You've only

me to make deals with now.

- Well, build my gallows high, baby.

- No.

No, we're starting all over.

I wanna go back to Mexico.

I wanna walk out of the sun

again and find you waiting.

I wanna sit in the same moonlight and tell

you all the things I never told you...

until you don't hate me.

Until sometime you love again.

They'll always be looking for us.

They won't stop till we die.

I don't care. Just so

they find us together.

If you're thinking of anyone

else, don't. It wouldn't work.

You're no good for anyone but me.

You're no good and neither am I.

That's why we deserve each other.

Did he get the plane?

- Where is it?

- I'm running the show, don't forget.

I doubt you'll ever let me.

Where's the money?

- Upstairs.

- Better pack a couple of bags and get it.

- Put a few things in for me.

- I have.

Thanks.

(SPEAKS IN SPANISH)

Do you remember La Mar Azul?

If I remember, you were a very

clumsy flirt, but I liked that.

We owe it all to Jos Rodriguez.

I wonder if he'll ever know

what a bad guide he really was.

Jeff, we've been wrong a

lot and unlucky a long time.

I think we deserve a break.

We deserve each other.

(GLASS BREAKS)

KATHIE:
Hurry, Jeff.

(ENGINE STALLING)

(ENGINE STARTS)

Dirty, double-crossing rat!

(GUNSHOT)

Sorry.

Too many people. Too much talk.

Maybe that's why I like this town.

Here, three people

are really a crowd.

Let's get in the car and

get away from them.

I won't talk to you, Ann.

I just wanna be with you.

Thanks, Jim, but I can't.

You can tell me. You knew

him better than I did.

Was he going away with her?

I have to know.

Was he going away with her?
