married to jets now.

- Maybe there's a chance for you.

- No.

Rock.

What are you doing here?

- Sorry?

- In Mexico.

- What are you doing?

- Oh.

The truth?

Well, the truth is I was bored.

Don't get me wrong, Tibey and I

talked about me coming down.

I just- I didn't think

that it would be so soon.

I'm not sure I know

what you mean.

It means my buddies warned me

that this would happen.

I've never been famous

for taking advice, so....

- Me neither.

- You neither?

Twelve years in the service...

...you'd think I'd know how to get

from Monday to Friday.

I know the feeling.

Sometimes you can

want out of a situation so badly.

Sounds like me.

You seem different.

You mean, not a cold b*tch

like I usually am.

I didn't- I didn't say that.

But it's true.

I don't like being that way,

you know...

...but the people who come

to our house....

Well, you know, you've seen them.

Things are different here.

Tibey says I don't understand

and I don't.

You don't have to

explain to me. I don't....

I think I've forgotten

how to talk to people.

You want to teach me the trick

with Rocky?

- A very dangerous trick. Are you sure?

- Yes.

Rock.

Next victim.

Okay.

Rock? Are you sure?

What did you say?

I didn't say anything but Rocky thinks

you ought to have a blindfold.

Oh, Rocky's wrong.

Put it right here.

Okay.

One...

...two...

...three. Go, Rock!

Rocky. Oh, you're so clever.

Good boy.

- You got lipstick on my dog.

- No.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I think I have miscalculated you.

I thought you were another one of

Tibey's old friends.

They play. There's always the girls.

Well, shame on you.

Well, I was going to go up

and have a drink. You want to go up?

For a little while.

I was gonna make some lemonade.

You want some?

Yes, I would.

- Do you need any help?

- No, I know how to make lemonade.

It's kind of strange here.

Are you comfortable?

Yeah, it's nice.

Is something wrong?

No. Everything's fine.

- Are you sure you don't need help?

- No.

No.

F***.

I think my dog's escaping.

Are you looking for someone,

Mr. Cochran?

No. Is someone looking for me?

- No, senor.

- Let's get it straight.

I don't like you.

You don't like me. Right?

If I'm looking for someone, it's none

of your business. You understand?

Hello.

Hi.

I was glad that you came.

I wasn't sure if you would.

I wasn't sure either.

Are you angry with me?

No.

I'm a little put out

with myself, actually.

About what?

Letting this get even remotely

out of hand.

What do you mean?

Letting what get out of hand?

Maybe it's me.

I know it's why I came down here.

Nice parties, hanging with

your friends. Stay out of trouble.

Well, enjoy yourself.

Out. I'm sorry, I saw it out.

All right, it's match point.

Out.

Just out.

- Well, wait.

- No, Jay.

- How far in does it have to be?

- It was out.

This prick's been cheating

the whole game.

- Can't you humor him? I need a favor.

- We'll humor him tonight.

What's the difference?

I mean, can't they win?

Not like this. I mean, f*** him.

These guys may be important...

...but they don't mean sh*t to me.

Besides I can't-

I can't afford to lose 500 bucks.

Okay, I'm with you.

All right. Match point.

I got it. I got it.

Oh, no, no.

You all right, Nano?

It was an accident, hombre.

Come on.

Good game, good game. Carlos.

Very fine today, huh?

Tell me.

Why do you want to kill

all my friends?

Maybe I'm feeling

out of my element down here.

Maybe you need some hamburger

and some french fries.

Maybe I do.

- Goddamn it.

- What's the matter?

The cold war continues.

Every time we fight,

she plays that Ranchero music...

...which she knows I hate.

It's the music I grew up with.

Let me ask you something.

Do you think my wife is beautifuI?

- What?

- Yeah.

What do you want me to say?

Of course.

Because a woman like that...

...you'd do almost anything

to keep her.

What are you doing?

Jesus Christ, Miryea, this is cr-

Get out of the car.

This is crazy.

What did you say?

- I didn't say anything.

- You're angry.

- I'm not angry.

- I don't know what to do.

- You don't know what to do.

- You're mumbling again.

Whatever, this is what we don't do.

We don't forget who we are

and where we are.

- Hello.

Madero?

Yeah.

This is Jay.

Sh*t, man,

where the hell are you?

I'm down here in Mexico.

Well, what's wrong?

I think I'm f***ed.

What's the matter with you?

What happened?

I think I fell in love.

You think you fell in love?

You don't do that.

I know.

With who?

Who?

- Tibey's wife.

- Tibey's wife?

How could that happen?

- I don't know.

- Man, it's only been five days.

I think it was the first day.

Holy sh*t. Does he know?

Yes, sure.

I mean, he told me I should call you.

Now, you listen to me. You get

your ass out of there right now.

You put your sh*t in the truck,

point towards the border and drive.

Are you listening to me?

Here, if you f*** somebody's old lady,

you work it out in group therapy.

There, that's serious

and they'll shoot you.

Don't you know Tiburon means shark?

You don't mess with Tibey Mendez.

Jay? Jay?

I have to go.

I know.

It's just that they'll say goodbye at 4

and he'll be home at 5.

Say goodbye to who?

His mistress.

Lover, girlfriend,

whatever they're called.

Their way of life here.

These are the facts of life.

Would it surprise you to know...

...that Tibey's the only man

I've ever been with?

No.

No.

You're leaving, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

You know, for a long time,

I didn't let myself want anything.

I thought I wouldn't know

what I was missing.

That's not true anymore.

Do you feeI the way I feeI?

I don't know that I have the right

to feeI anything...

...where you're concerned.

You think that you're taking

another man's wife.

That's a pretty good way

of looking at it.

Yeah.

Forget about right or wrong.

If you had the time,

would you spend it with me?

- Jay, if you had time, would you-?

- Yes.

Yes, I would.

Then don't go away.

Don't go away.

Isabella, I'm going to ask you

an enormous favor.

Well, you might have to lie.

Well, I've told Tibey I'm going to

visit you in Miami for a few days.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm not really coming.

I'm just asking you to pretend

in case he calls.

I'm

not sure. Maybe that I've gone out...

...or that I was spending the night

with Marta in Palm Beach.

I know, I know, it's crazy. I...

I know.

I've met someone I like very much.

I'm in love, Isabella.

Jay, may I come in?

Sure.

I'm by myself.

I'm on my way to a meeting.

- I hope you don't mind.

- No, no.

- May I have a drink of water?

- Absolutely.

Please, sit.

Thank you.

You going somewhere?

To my cabin.

I've got a better idea.

I'm going down to Barranquilla,

then Caracas for a few days.

I would like you to fly me down.

Oh, Christ, Tibey. I've only been

off a plane less than a month.

You don't want to fly again?

We had some wonderfuI times.

I wish I could say yes,

but you know...

...I got it in my head

Jim Harrison

James Harrison (December 11, 1937 – March 26, 2016) was an American writer known for his poetry, fiction, reviews, essays about the outdoors, and writings about food. He is best known for his 1979 novella "Legends of the Fall". He has been called "a force of nature", and his work has been compared to that of William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway. Harrison's characters tend to be rural by birth and to have retained some qualities of their agrarian pioneer heritage which explains their sense of rugged intelligence and common sense. They attune themselves to both the natural and the civilized world, surrounded by excesses, but determined to live their lives as well as possible. more…
