The Mexican Page #8

Synopsis: Jerry Welbach is given two ultimatums. His mob boss wants him to travel to Mexico to get a priceless antique pistol called "The Mexican" or he will suffer the consequences. The other ultimatum comes from his girlfriend Samantha, who wants him to end his association with the mob. Jerry figures that being alive, although in trouble with his girlfriend is the better alternative so he heads south of the border. Finding the pistol is easy but getting it home is a whole other matter. The pistol supposedly carries a curse - a curse Jerry is given every reason to believe, especially when Samantha is held hostage by the gay hit man Leroy to ensure the safe return of the pistol.

You are a soldier of God.

(Speaking Spanish)

She will be safe there, right there,

and she can fly with the angels.

(Spanish)

No devils can catch her here,

right here,

and now she will be able

to fly with the angels.

We square?

I'll owe you.

(Ringing)

Jerry, honey?

'I bet this is the queen

of the idiot?

'This must be Sam.

This is Bernie Nayman.

'Where's that stupid f***ing Jerry?

With Leroy?'

Don't you mean Winston?

I hope not, cos he's dead.

'Then you're in a lot of trouble.

'Especially if Jerry sold that gun.'

- Jerry hid it.

- 'A step in the right direction.

'Are you there, Sam?'

Yeah, I'm here.

Yeah, me too.

(Jerry) Nayman!

What have you done with her?

(Banging on boot)

Sam? Don't shoot. She's in the trunk.

- I swear, if you hurt...

- It is hot in there.

- Let her out!

- Give me the pistol and I will.

All right. All right, Nayman,

where are the keys?

I might have lost them.

Well, you're out of luck.

She's the one who hid the pistol.

Oh.

Sam, no!

- Put it down. You'll damage it.

- Shut the f*** up!

Sam, do not, I repeat,

do not pull that trigger. No.

I... I will pull

this f***ing trigger.

You toast that gun,

he's dead right after.

Sweets.

Put the gun down. OK?

Put it down.

I'm not worth it.

OK?

He's right, it's not worth it.

Don't you know when enough is enough?

Baby.

Do you like sex and travel?

As a matter of fact, I do.

Wrong answer.

(Church bell chimes)

Sweetheart?

We just witnessed a miracle.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.

- Are you OK?

Am I OK? Yeah, I'm OK. You OK?

Huh?

- May I?

- It would be our honor.

Yeah.

Seal it.

Do you love me, Jerry?

I adore you, sweetheart.

Then tell me it again.

- I've already told you three times.

- Just one more time. Please. Please.

The pistol was crafted for a

noble man by a poor Mexican gunsmith.

- Nobleman.

- Hmm?

- It's nobleman. One word.

- What did I say?

What difference does it make?

- It doesn't.

- Why correct me?

- English is your mother tongue.

- I'm calling a time-out!

- (Hotel clerk) Raoul!

- (# Mariachi)

(Sam) I love you, Jerry.
