You're in!

Life is good!

Hmm?

It's damn good!

Yeah.

Then we should be careful

not to cross them!

- Right?

- Yeah!

You want a girl?

Hmm?

The one over there?

She's a three-way hen!

- You know what that means?

- No, thanks!

Yeah, well-

You are a good influence

on me! You know that?

Yeah, you are!

But you're not gonna

fiind any peace by avoiding life!

Come on!

Let's get outta here!

I think I might not have been

the best of men!

I'm changed now!

I'm not like that anymore!

I envy you,Jack!

You've no memories!

Yeah, but I have no peace, Father!

Today is the day!

Try to appreciate it!

I've tried to win with grace

to channel my anger!

I knock 'em out

as quickly as possible!

So you feel justifiied

in the eyes of the Almighty?

I don't know, Father!

Look, be heroic, my son!

Because out of heroism

lies faith!

in the worth of heroes!

Do you think that when Castro dies

and the U!S! moves back into Cuba!

do you think that the quality

of the tobacco will change?

I don't know, jefe!

Eh, I never smoked a cigar!

They make me ill, remember?

I hear that El Julio

is wanting to do a mano a mano!

I hear that he's back from Spain

and he wants to wrestle back his crown!

- in front of his hometown!

- Verdad!

If it happens,

it will be quite a corrida.

Yeah!

Do you follow the bulls?

Eh, ahem,

when I was, uh, younger!

It was a young, uh, bull.

I can't remember their names.

Your boy's lined up

to fiight El Diablo again.

- Tonight!

- Si!

No, tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night.

- Okay, tomorrow night!

- Yeah.

I want him to lose the fiight!

No!?Como?

Nobody's betting

against him anymore.

Every time he fiights

we take a loss!

The guy has already become a legend,

a pinche baliente!

Pero,jefe-

Better we could load it on

a particular round maybe!

I could take him to the tenth round maybe!

He can drag it out!

- And it would be spectacular.

- Not if he wins!

But the people,

they put their money-

They bet on El Yanqui.

They bet on him!

That is not your problem!

Okay, okay, okay, okay!

Tomorrow night he goes down!

Bottom line!

Okay, I'll tell him, all right?

Did somebody hear me

say that I was fiinished?

Sit down!

Okay, here's the deal, cabron.

If he doesn't go down!

then you are going to

be replaced by a coach!

that understands

what this business is all about!

Do you fully comprehend me

when I say the word "replaced'"?

R-E-P-laced.

No, I-

Like when I say

I am going to replace my big dog!

I shot him twice

behind the ear!

and I threw it in a bonfiire

made out of car tires soaked in diesel!

Two day later I go back,

I hose the whole area down...

not even a f***ing little stain!

Okay, now I'm fiinished!

Now I'm fiinished, and you're gonna

stay here sitting like a f***er!

Get the f*** out ofhere, vago!

Don't take it personal!

I'll act it up and play it out!

And we'll be fiine.

Just remember, don't bet any money

on me tomorrow!

Wh-What? You-

I don't understand you.

You're full- You're-

It's okay.

When I lose the fiight tomorrow...

my career is over!

It's a sign.

A sign?

You still think

she's coming, huh?

Of course I do!

Well, okay!

Get yourself together!

- Yeah!

- Let's go.

Okay!

There's a precept

in Castilian culture!

which believes that

the true measure of a man!

is gauged by those who are

benefiitted by his actions!

If I go by that, you are

the greatest man I ever met!

You need to travel more, Father!

Promise me, my friend,

that you won't do anything impulsive!

Don't worry!

Someone put a huge bet

on that Brazilian!

so now the odds are way off!

All these people coming down

here tonight,just to bet on you.

I mean, little kids using their

pocket money and sh*t like that!

So what are you gonna do?

My neighbor sold his cattle today

just to raise a stake.

They shouldn't gamble!

Tonight will be a lesson!

Oh, yeah! Make me sick!

It's over!

Hey, wave her off!

Ask him not to bet!

You can't do that!

These are normal people, okay?

They bet!

They're not bad people!

Look at them.

Jesus, they couldn't watch their friends

lose their life savings!

And what are you thinking?

I'm telling you, you win,

you win this fiight!

within an hour

all bets will be off on you!

Marietta will lose his shirt!

Well, Marietta will blame me!

You have to get yourself

a new manager!

My conscience is clear!

Diablo Calvera!

Okay, you do what you want!

You're supposed to lose!

Just go down!

I want him to lose the fiight!

Everybody's coming down here

to bet on you!

Every time he fiights,

we take a loss!

You can't do that!

These are normal people!

Promise me, my friend,

you won't do anything impulsive!

I think it's time

to leave! Listen!

I can sleep well tonight,

if I live through the night!

- All right! Come on!

- I don't know what happened! I snapped!

Yeah!

- We better go!

- Marianne!

- No, where you going? Wait!

- Marianne!

Oh, oh, okay!

He went that way!

F*** him!

Dios mio!

This is bad!

This is really bad!

That way! Kill him!

Kill that son of a b*tch! You got me?

Just get him! You come with me!

I don't know who you are, but I know

you stood between me and Marianne!

- What are you doing here with her?

- No!

I should have killed you

when I had the chance,Jack!

Come on! Listen, listen, listen!

Listen to me!

Listen to me. Listen. I don't know

what your problem is here, okay? I don't care.

But if you don't move, we're both gonna die.

Do you understand me?

- Okay?

- We don't have time for this! Follow us!

- Go, go, go!

- Follow us!

Get off the street!

Pour him a shot,Jack.

You really don't

remember anything?

I'll have a slug of that angel's tea!

Just you and me, laughing!

And him, shooting at me!

I always was a lousy shot!

I came down

on a university placement, teaching!

Got involved with the antigovernment

factions and the guerrilla movement!

- Marianne became passionate about

their cause- - Nice tattoo,Jack!

And persuaded me

to leave my lecturing job!

We decided to do something.

We became freedom fiighters.

Every man should do

his bit for the revolution!

This could be trickier

than we anticipated!

What kind of, uh, armament are you

carrying,Jack, if you don't mind me asking?

I don't mind you asking me, Harry.

!45s!Just plain old!45s!

- Plain old engraved.45s, eh?

- That's right.

- What are you packing, Harry?

- It's a nine!

It was recommended to me

by a friend in Botswana!

I'll, uh, I'll draw you

for a look,Jack!

Sure.

Be careful!

It's loaded.

My nine holds more bullets

than both of yours put together!

From my experience, the gunfiight is about

the one left standing when it's over!

You shoot fiirst,

you shoot fast...

and you always shoot to kill!

You never leave your opponent

the chance to prove himself.

Gunfiighting's not a sport, Harry!

That's, uh, that's lovely,Jack!

Thank you very much!

I'm, uh, I'm going to retire to bed, okay?

You coming, dear?

I'm just gonna fiinish my drink!
