The Big Steal Page #4

Automobile! Get me an automobile!

Automobile!

Now what?

Hey, come on, move over, will you?

Get out of the way!

All right, tell me that's not

the polite thing to do now.

I never said a word.

- No, but you're thinking plenty.

- Boy, I bet you're fun to take a trip with.

A little bit of trouble

and you jump all over people.

You call what I'm in a little bit of trouble?

Come on, move over, will you?

Get out of the road.

I'm in it, too, or didn't you notice?

Look, will you vamoose? Get off the road!

I'm sorry, doll. It must've been

some of the dust I'm eating.

- Didn't you hear me? I said I'm sorry.

- I heard you.

Aw.

Get out of the way!

I didn't say a word, but I'm thinking.

- He says, can't we see the road's blocked?

- Is he kidding? Of course we can see it.

The highway's all right.

He said he put a sign across this road.

- Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

- Jim.

Sweet guy. Like you said, no dope.

What are we waiting for? Turn around.

Oh, no, I'm the kind of guy

doesn't like to turn around, Chiquita.

There's a guy right behind me

with a gun, remember?

Ask him how far ahead is the highway.

- Hear what he said?

- Of course I heard.

What'd he say?

Less than a mile away,

but try and get there.

That's exactly what I'm going to do.

- What's he congratulating us for?

- We're eloping.

- What's the matter with me?

- I told him my father doesn't like you.

- Well, thanks, what's that for?

- Don't ask questions, just take it and like it.

I like it fine. Keep it up.

You won't get jealous

if I drag in another man,

the one my father wants me to marry?

- Ten what?

- Children.

Ten kids?

Get those planks out again!

Put those planks back on there.

What's the matter with you guys?

I'm trying to get through there.

I'm trying to stop that car.

Well, now you're the one

that's up for a promotion.

Oh, it's nothing.

When I find a bridge out,

I always dig up a romance.

I didn't get all of what you said to him.

- You know where I learned Spanish.

- Yes, I know.

All I said was

we were running away to get married.

And my cruel father

was chasing us with a shotgun.

He wanted me to marry a small, ugly man,

but I preferred the big, pretty one.

You know, he was nice, that foreman.

I hated to lie to him.

Everything you said, lies?

Well, not everything.

You are big.

Thanks.

Here, busy yourself with this for a while.

Get the planks...

The turnoff

should be around here somewhere.

Should be 10 kilometers

from that last town we passed.

You think you're old enough

to read a map now?

I've aged a lot in the last few hours.

- What are you doing?

- Eeny-meeny-miny-mo.

- Comes out mo.

- Yeah, but the tire tracks come out miny.

Is your name Fiske?

Are you the guy I'm supposed to meet?

No, he's at the hacienda

down the road a bit.

I'm the reception committee.

Come on, slide over.

Wait a minute, I think I can find it all right.

I think you better stay here, though.

I'm being tailed.

We'll take care of that.

Gonzales.

I hope this is the right road.

Get down!

Make for the rocks!

This thing only holds six.

I should have left you in Tehuacn.

Then you'd have been lonesome.

In a spot like this,

a guy is better off lonesome.

If you're thinking

what I think you're thinking...

Yeah?

He's a good shot, too.

He'd have us both before we got to the car.

I've got an awful yen for that rifle.

It'll be getting dark soon.

I hate the thought of spending the night

with an empty revolver.

There's always me.

Tonight you got to pick.

Duke, Duke, don't go. Please don't go.

Chiquita...

That'll have to wait till later.

Adis, Chiquita.

This time,

don't forget to squeeze the trigger.

Keep reaching, mister.

Tell her to come down here!

Go on, tell her before I plug you.

No! No, don't. Don't shoot!

Put it on the table.

Here it is, Mr. Fiske.

- Good, cold American dollars.

- How many?

- One hundred and fifty thousand.

- Now, wait a minute, Seton.

You're making 100% profit on this deal.

It's hot, Mr. Fiske. Very, very hot.

Much hotter

than the goods I usually handle.

Now, if you'd robbed a bank

or a jewelry store

like most of my clients...

But you had to rob the U.S. Army.

That outfit has a long memory

when it comes to money stolen from it.

- But look at the risk I took.

- Your risk has ended.

Mine's just beginning.

I've got to get rid of this.

Now that, you can spend.

So wrap it up and be thankful.

Oh, you were being followed.

- You've all met, I take it?

- Yes, we've met.

Stop it, you clumsy fool!

You almost broke it. This is priceless.

Looks like something they'd give you

for knocking down milk bottles.

Get back, get back, away from the table.

- Cole, get them back.

- You heard him. Get moving.

Jos got killed. I want to get his body.

How about Madden giving me a hand?

- Did he kill him?

- Go and help Cole.

- What did you stop him for?

- They're your problem.

- Mine? I can't take them with me.

- Well, you can't leave them here, either.

Not alive, anyway.

It'd be a pleasure to take care of him,

but the girl, I...

Oh, scruples about killing women, huh?

Look, Fiske,

why don't you take her with you?

She'll keep her mouth shut.

- No, Duke...

- Shut up, Chiquita.

You've got your money.

Do you want her on your conscience?

He has no conscience.

You're wasting your time, Duke.

If I were sure you wouldn't talk,

I'd take you along.

Go with him.

Go on, it's the only way.

Put up your hands.

- Well, the Marines.

- Up, I said.

You, too, sister.

There's the money, Vince.

There's the guy that stole it.

Get over by the fireplace.

- Watch out for him, he's got a gun.

- Shut up.

Will you get it through your head, Vince?

Fiske stole the money from...

Shut up, I said.

Why don't you let him in

on the secret, Blake?

- Is that my money?

- Our money.

- I haven't taken my cut.

- Well, take your cut and get on your horse.

We're not getting what we figured.

He's keeping 150 grand.

Well, that's the best I can do

under the circumstances.

Army money is hot, Captain Blake.

So it's the best you can do?

- I still get half, don't I?

- Sure. Sure, you've earned it.

We decided, that is,

I decided that the girl Joan should...

She should go with me. She won't talk.

The girl stays here.

- I think it's better if...

- Let me do the thinking, like always, Fiske.

Anything you say.

Jim!

Don't feel bad about him, sister.

He didn't put up much of a fight

about you, did he?

You can't trust a guy like that.

How you going to get out of this, Duke?

You got another bridge handy

or some goats?

Looks like I'm not getting out of it.

Looks like you're not

getting out of it, either.

You think not?

No matter how you work it, it's gonna be

awful hard to keep your skirts clean.

They'll be checking up

on every move you made.

I was chasing you. They know that.

What about the payroll?

He's keeping it, isn't he?

Well, of course I'm keeping it, I bought it.
