Perdita Durango Page #6

---

Everything ok?

- This place is like

an elephant graveyard.

Why are you awake?

Something's burning you inside.

- It's nothing.

It's your little girlfriend.

My head is ringing from 12 hours

of uninterrupted teenage bullshit.

You're jealous. I like that.

Hey! Hey! Wake up! Wake up!

Come her! Come here! Look! Look!

So, it's our chance to escape.

If we find another way out of here,

they'll never find us.

Estelle, you're crazy!

- Do you actually like that b*tch?

No, I'm trying to keep us alive.

- You're f***ing coward!

Second time you've called me that!

- Go ahead and hit me!

Deep down, you're just like them!

Ok.

Come on.

I don't see them. Hurry up!

Go!

Go! Go! Go!

F***!

Hurry up!

Go! They're behind us!

Faster! Faster!

Faster! Faster!

I thought you were stupid, but it

didn't think you were a traitor!

I don't like traitors, Duane!

I don't like traitors! Understand?

Sh*t, Duane, I trusted you!

I f***ing trusted you,

and this is how you repay me?

I'm going to f*** you over.

I'm gonna kill you, ok?

Do you wanna know how it's gonna end?

This is it, man! This is f***ing it!

- Oh, God! No, no, no! Please!

It wasn't his fault! It was me!

It won't happen again. It was my idea!

Forget it, Romeo!

- You shut up!

Perhaps we can use him in Las Vegas.

Come on, this could bring us bad luck.

How things changed! Before, you wanted

to shoot them in the desert,

now you're defending them!

- Nobody wants to defend anybody, ok?

This is not the right thing here, now.

- Now I'm the jealous one. Ok, Perdita?

Estelle, what do you think?

Looks like they want to be alone.

It wasn't his fault, it was me.

- F***ing a**hole!

You decide, Estelle, I finish him off

or I keep him alive to please Perdita.

Forget it, Romeo! You're getting

out of hand. Let's get out of here.

Stand up, gringo! Come on, Duane.

How do you do it, man? Some day

you have to tell me your secret.

Understand? You don't beat!

Reggie, my friend. Come in.

Have a seat.

You know why you're here?

- I think so, yes.

Is that a problem for you?

Ok. I know you're raised up

together in one family.

It takes a pretty long time

when se left Petit Caribe.

I don't object your cousin.

But he did some ugly things.

Even the Mexican Government wants

him to get off.

The Government is after my business.

Several of our associates are dead.

Mr. Santos, if I only knew this...

- Don't excuse yourself.

No one is accusing you

of doing anything.

Romeo is doing me a favor

by driving the merchandise

for which he'll be compensated.

When the delivery is secure

give him the money we agreed on.

Then kill him.

Money is no good to him, he's dead.

So you take it

for doing me this favor.

That's most generous of you.

- Generous?

Just!

Treason is merely

a tool of resourcefulness.

I know this will be hard for you

but I firmly believe

that man must live his life

according to his own terms

or not live this life at all.

- I'm sure you are right, Mr. Santos.

And I'm sure

you'll do a good job for me.

I figure my little ladies are

wondering where I'm heading.

I'll visit a friend in Nogales.

Estrellita, come with me.

What for?

I'm thinking of selling you.

Get in, pendejo.

Where the hell are you going?

I'm going to dance with the devil

under the pale moonlight.

Go f*** yourself, Romeo!

- What's wrong? It's from Batman.

F*** Batman!

One hit, one dollar! You want a hit?

You wanna hit, man?

F***, yeah!

- One dollar.

Here's 10, kick my ass!

- Si, senor, for 10 dollars

I make your hair sizzle!

- That's a car battery!

Give it me, motherf***er!

- Very macho, man! Very macho!

Give it to me!

Give it to me, motherf***er!

Oh, f***!

Electricity is cool, Estrellita.

I'm looking for Catalina.

I heard he is here today.

Catalina. About a debt.

- He's at the back.

Romeo Dolorosa.

Girls, I want you to meet

a real bandido.

Ladies.

- We heard you were doing a job for

Santos with your cousin Reggie.

- F***! You keep yourself informed.

You have to keep up with everything

in this business. When you don't know

what's happening, you're dead!

- Listen, Catalina, I'm here

to settle my debt.

I don't like owing anyone anything.

Well, you know that.

Did you hear that, girls?

The son of a b*tch says

he doesn't like owing money to anyone.

So you came here to pay me?

Sure. Yeah. And this is half.

I'll give you the other half

somewhere were we can talk.

Where did you find this beauty?

That's what I wanted to talk

to you about. She's the other half.

Come to my office.

You too, sweetie.

Stay here! Stay here, girls!

I don't want any.

- How come? It's pure. Good stuff.

Come on, Catalina, she's not one

of those girls. She hasn't tried

anything stronger than a diet Coke!

- Bullshit, Romeo. Gimme that!

She's terrific. Innocent, clean.

And her p*ssy's pure gold, man!

You'll make triple what you make

with those dried-up c*nts.

Where did you get her?

- Well, does it matter? We got a deal?

What are you talking about?

- Estrellita, Estrellita,

now this man owns you, ok?

And please don't make me look bad.

You can't be serious.

- You're right. She's great!

Let's toast.

- I hear you visited Petit Caribe?

No, no, no. I had no time.

I sent my associates.

They did a good job.

See, I don't like being owed money.

But you learned your lesson now.

You're all paid up. That's it.

Everything is forgotten.

No, Catalina, it's not forgotten.

- Then why the f*** did you come here?

To kill you, pendejo!

I'm dead so are you.

Santos will kill you.

- What the f*** are you talking about?

Your cousin sold you out,

you sick f***! Everyone knows it.

You're lying!

- Reggie's gonna kill you

after you make the delivery.

I'll be waiting for you in hell.

We'll have a great time there.

See you later, amigo.

Remember,

whatever happens, keep smiling, ok.

No long faces. Right?

Nothing happened in here, ok?

Dance! Dance!

Dance!

Holy sh*t! He wasted him!

Son of a b*tch!

You saved my life

back at the airplane junkyard.

Thank you.

Don't thank me.

Maybe what awaits you could be worse.

I bet sometimes...

you wish you never met him.

Who?

Romeo.

Listen. There's a lot of people in my

f***ing life that I wish I never met

but Romeo is definitely

not one of them, ok?

You ever think about an animal

eating you alive?

I thought Romeo was going to kill me.

- I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about a wild animal

grabbing you an ripping you apart.

I don't think of things like that.

- That's why you're so boring.

Strangest people come up with

the most interesting ideas, Duane.

I've never met anybody like you.

- I know.

Let's go! Let's go!

Why do you follow Romeo? Why don't

you just take off and leave him?

Why don't you just shut up, please?

- Are you in love with him?

In love?

You sound like a f***ing

Judith Krantz novel.

I'm just waiting for my money

and then I'll be gone.

There won't be any money,

it's a trap.
