Not even if they let you.

Not even with Pete.

Lay off, will you, Jefty?

Have a heart, or give us a rest.

Now, Susie, you shouldn't

talk that way to me.

Everybody out! Jefty's gonna shoot.

Come on. Outside.

You stand over there.

Hey, Pete, how much did we pay

for this tomato juice?

Well, it's gone now.

Too bad. Too bad.

Too bad. Too bad. Too... bad!

Hey! Fifty feet. Fifty feet.

I won't miss it.

I'm the best shot in the world.

And when I get drunk, I'm a better shot.

I'm a better shot.

The drunker I am, the better I get.

Now, you just get a load of this.

Watch it.

Now, just-just imagine

that's a little duck up there.

A tiny little duck...

waitin' for its mama.

Thought I was kidding, didn't you?

Well, now you know.

That was a good shot.

Pretty good shot.

Oh, that looks like blood.

Blood, huh? Blood. Yeah.

We better try somethin' else.

Let's see. What'll we try?

What'll we try-Ah, my hat.

Here, hold this.

I'll buy myself a new one.

We'll put the hat

up on the branch like this.

There.

This is bigger, but it's tougher.

Pretty hard to see.

Go on, try it. See if you can hit it.

Go ahead, baby, try it.

That's it. Go on.

Take a crack at it.

Over. Over more.

Over more. No, over.

Over!

What's the matter?

Couldn't you see it? Huh?

What'd you grab it for?

There wasn't anything in it.

Do you think I'd be silly enough

to give her a loaded gun?

Let us go back, Jefty,

or I swear I'll kill you.

Kill me? You'd kill me, baby?

If I get the chance.

Please, let us go back. Let us go back!

You know, it just comes to me.

I think you would like to kill me.

Oh, what a great couple you make.

A thief and a murderer.

A thief? What did you do

with the money?

Buy the jury? It costs a lot to frame

your best friend, doesn't it?

- You no-good, dirty little-

- Shut up!

I won't! You stole the money,

and you know it.

You know it.

And you know something else, Jefty?

Your mind's gone.

You're crazy, Jefty.

Crazy!

You'll go to the pen

where you belong.

- Pete!

- What's the answer now?

Make a break.

Ground fog's rolling in now.

- Get over the border, okay?

- Yeah, I'll go with you.

- Oh, don't do it. Use your heads.

- That's what I'm doing.

- It's all over now.

- Look, I can swear he hit you first.

What good'll that do? Come on.

Don't let him do it. Don't let him do it!

I don't care anymore. Even if we're caught,

brought back, it's better this way.

- It's a chance.

- What chance will you have if they bring you back?

Now, wait a minute.

- Watch it, Lil.

- Okay.

There.

I'll get rid of the other gun in the brush.

Come on. Let's go.

Not me. You don't want any

excess baggage where you're going.

- Susie, you can't stay here with him.

- Oh, don't worry.

- I'm not gonna stay.

- Kid, you get going now.

Thanks for everything.

You've been swell.

- Good luck to you, Lil. You got a

wonderful guy. - Susie, you've been-

- Go on if you're going.

- So long, Susie.

Good-bye.

Thanks, I will.

- Better let me go first. Stay right behind me.

- Yeah.

There's a kind of path here

if we can hold it.

Don't worry about me.

Keep going fast as you can.

- Where are they?

- Gone.

- Where?

- Don't bother.

He broke your other little toy.

You're stuck without a gun, mister.

- Where'd they go?

- I don't know.

Don't lie to me!

Where'd they go? Where'd they go?

The border. That's where they'd go.

I'll get them.

- I'll get there before they do.

- That gun won't do you any good.

- They've got a long head start.

- I know these woods like a book.

Even if you catch them,

it won't do any good.

You'll be the one

who goes to jail, not Pete.

There's the proof.

Give me that envelope,

or I'll kill ya!

Susie, come back here!

Come back!

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- Can you keep on?

- Sure.

Wait a minute.

- What is it?

- Could beJefty.

Do you think he could possibly-

Yeah. He'd figure

we'd make for the boat.

Let him come.

Maybe he found the gun

in the brush, huh?

Maybe.

Listen. He's trying to cut us off.

We'd better hurry. If he gets to the river

before we do, we're finished.

Okay, let's go.

There it is. The boat.

Quiet.

Pete! Pete!

Jefty's coming.

Here's the envelope.

The proof.

Jefty's not coming. He's here!

- Susie, are you hit?

- Just my arm.

- Get going!

- Keep talkin' Susie.

It helps.

Unhitch it.

Hurry, Pete. Hurry.

You won't get very far

without that engine. Paddle in!

I'll help put your fire out.

I'll put all your fires out!

All right, I'll take that envelope.

Give me that envelope!

The party's over.

- The party's over. The party's over.

- Stop it, Jefty!

Get away from him.

Get away from him!

Let go ofhim, Jefty.

Let go, or I'll kill you.

I'll kill you.

You wouldn't kill me.

You- You can't kill Jefty.

You can't, Lily.

Oh, don't, Jefty.

Don't come any nearer. Don't!

- Give me that gun.

- No.

- Give it to me.

- No.

Jefty, stay away.

Stay away, or I swear I'll shoot you.

- Don't you understand? Please, I don't want to.

- Give it to me.

Keep away from me, Jefty!

Please keep away! Keep away!

Keep away!

Lily.

I told you she was different.

It's all right, honey.

We'll send back for him.

Thanks, Pete.

I'm pretty heavy.

I guess it couldn't be helped.

It was always Jefty or us.

Yeah.

Come on, Lily.
