The Frisco Kid Page #3

l'm taking the long way.

Now, that shouldn't be so difficult.

That's a killer!

Wait! Wait a minute!

Where you going, horsy?

l didn't say where to go yet!

Oh, no! Oh, no!

l know what's coming! Sh*t!

Hey, that snake could have killed me!

Well, damn me. lf he can do it, l can.

Help!

Goddamn!

Sh*t.

You know, Rabbi,

you're one crazy bastard!

Remember, l'm the kind of person, when

he says he's gonna do something. . .

. . .he does it!

You got a guarantee, huh?

He could be laying there,

dead in the wilderness!

Bite your tongue! You're talking

about my future son-in-law.

Somebody, maybe should remind

Sarah Mindl.

Rosalie.

Rosalie, get your sister

away from that idiot.

l'm not mixing in. l'm not mixing in.

This is a nice little town.

old, but nice.

Yeah. l guess.

l don't think that fellow

is 1 00 percent.

l'll see if l can find us

some place to stay.

-Some place pretty cheap.

-Yeah, pretty cheap.

About tomorrow morning.

This ain't traveling weather.

l know this place ain't fancy,

but it's got a roof.

And like you say, it's cheap.

We just stay here a couple months,

then head south.

No. l've wasted too much time

already.

When they banged on your head,

they must have mushed your brains.

So goddamn worried about time,

how come you don't ride on Saturday?

l told you, it's against my religion

to ride on the Sabbath.

Well, l got me a new religion too.

And one of the things

you ain't allowed to do is die.

Them's real mountains out there

and that's a real blizzard building up.

l'm telling you, we can't make it.

-l can make it.

-Goddamn.

l ain't gonna let you talk

to me into this.

lt's just impossible.

Every goddamn lndian knows that.

Every goddamn trapper knows that.

l know. You don't like it

when l talk that way.

But l'm telling you,

you ain't gonna talk me into it this time.

Am l trying to talk you into anything?

Good night. Have a nice trip.

Good night. And thanks

for everything you did for me. . .

. . .up until the time

l needed you the most.

Don't wake me in the morning.

l'll try to be as quiet as possible!

So, what do you think now, Rabbi?

lt's cold.

You should see it in winter.

In the Talmud it says,

''Find thyself a teacher. ''

And this I have done.

However, there were times I feared

that he would find another pupil.

Get your horse down!

lf we'd have gone on,

we'd have froze to death.

No. Make one.

Move.

ome here!

loser.

Wait, we are doing this to keep warm,

aren't we?

ln that case,

you can put your arms around me.

ome here, darling.

That's better.

Hey, look.

l think we've found

the Garden of Eden.

Well, it ain't exactly

the Garden of Eden.

What a wonderful place America is.

There are no walls around these cities.

You don't have to worry about soldiers

coming from the next town and killing.

You know, l think this is the West.

We're in the Wild West here.

-Just like the books l read in Poland.

-Just hold on.

-This is a wonderful city.

-l'll be there in a minute.

They got banks and restaurants.

They got merchants of all kinds here.

And look at the people,

how they're dressed.

l think those are cowboys.

-Howdy.

-Howdy.

Pull up here.

l got a little business

l wanna take care of.

Hold onto the horses, will you?

l'll be right back.

Move it!

-What's happening?

-We just robbed the bank!

-What did you say?

-We just robbed the bank!

What do you mean, ''we''?

The bank! They just robbed the bank!

We need a posse, boys! Let's go!

-What for?

-l said, we need a posse!

To hell with you.

l ain't got money in the bank.

-But they robbed it!

-Well, go get them. lt's your bank.

Five dollars a man!

-Five?

-Seven-fifty!

-Not worth it.

-l'll go for 1 1 .

-Ten!

-Eleven!

All right, you bastards.

Eleven dollars. Let's go!

Now, don't get comfortable.

We can't stop here.

-How could you do this to me?

-lt's what l do. l'm a bank robber.

-But you made me a bank robber!

-So what? You get your half.

Get out of my life.

What?

Get out of my life! Get out!

l don't want you here!

-Get out of my life!

-Hold it!

Take it easy. Take it easy.

You better cool off.

Slow down.

Guns?

You gonna shoot guns at me?

Guns?

You know, you're really crazy.

Sure, l'm crazy. l'm a bank robber.

Who else would rob a bank, but a crazy?

You're no bank robber.

All you did was hold the horses.

-You think l could tell them that?

-Sure!

-And would they listen?

-Yeah, they'll listen. Then hang you.

-And what if l gave back the money?

-You mean your half.

Yes, l mean my half!

They'll string you up by your balls

till you say where the rest is.

Then they'll hang you!

Make up your mind, partner.

Go fast, horsy! Go fast!

Wait, Tommy, wait! l'm coming.

Looks like fresh tracks.

They were here, all right.

Here's some blood.

Hey, that was me.

l knew l got that one.

lf you did, he sure took a long time

to start bleeding.

All right, let's go, men.

Let's look for a tree for the hanging!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Another river?

l wish that we could build

a bigger fire.

Well, we can't.

We're lucky to have this much.

They ain't that far behind us.

By sunrise, they're gonna catch on

to my dumb-ass trick.

There, that ought to warm you up.

Three hundred and twenty dollars each.

Not bad, huh?

Now, ain't you something.

l never figured you was even

gonna take the money. . .

. . .tainted and all, like it is.

So you're rich.

What are you gonna do with it all?

When we get to the next town,

l'm going to send it back.

Well, l'd be careful till then.

lt's dangerous out here.

A fella could get his self robbed.

l'll keep out a watch for strangers.

About ready.

hurch over. We'd better make tracks.

l figure they know pretty much

where we're at.

lt ain't gonna take them too long

to find us.

-Hold still. Hold still, horsy. Be good.

-an't really afford such a late start.

What the hell are you doing?

l don't ride today.

What are you talking about?

Today is Saturday.

-So?

-l don't ride on Saturday.

l know that. But don't tell me

you ain't gonna ride today.

l ain't gonna ride today.

-l asked you not to tell me that!

-That's what l'm telling you.

But this ain't no ordinary Saturday!

Why is this Saturday

different from all other Saturdays?

Because this Saturday,

there's a hanging posse chasing us!

l promise you, right now,

they're doubling back to that stream.

l don't ride on Saturday!

Jesus, you give me the peedoodles!

There ain't no Jews in that posse,

you know!

They just as soon string you up

on Saturday as any other day.

They don't give a sh*t for your holiday,

don't you know that?

Goddamn it if l'm gonna walk!

l've asked you not to say that.

You stupid, ignorant son of a b*tch.

l ain't waiting around

for that posse to find us.

-l'm leaving.

-Who's asking you to stay?

Goodbye.

There it is.

l'm gonna show you something.

Look over there.

You know what that is?

Yes.

Well?

When the sun sets.

Know what you are?

You're a real meshuggener.
