You have to pay!"

Pater say "F*** you, old lady!"

And him laugh. And him laugh!

She say...

"I put a spell on you. "

But the spell don't work.

And Isola lose her job at the hotel.

So Ubu Pearl consult her magic...

to tell her what to do.

It tell her... to go...

leave the snake.

I ride...

like hell.

- But I was too late.

- What you see?

The suitcase on the bed with the money,

Pater on the floor.

Why you use a machete?

To make the whole thing

seem like something it wasn't.

- And the Jacuzzi?

- I figure if him boil a little,

the snakebite might not show so good.

- Do you hear that?

- Yeah, man.

I go get the money.

You blew it, Miller!

- What'd you say?

- I said "You blew it, Miller. "

So now you're supposed to kill me.

I don't need to kill you, Quinn.

You're too little and this is too big.

It never happened and I was never here.

But, of course, that all depends

on your friend in there.

Hey, man!

Here. The money's in the bag.

- Don't!

- Here, man!

Here, man!

Heroic deeds'll get your ass killed, Chief.

Watch out!

Maubee!

Maubee!

Sh*t!

Maubee! Let go!

- You're crazy, man!

- I wish I could!

Pull up, man! Pull up!

Tell me about Maubee.

- What do you want to hear?

- How come he was so special?

Maybe because

he never got in his own way.

For instance, when we were kids, he used

to stand under a big old tree, like that.

- And you know what he could do?

- What could he do?

He could spot which one of them pieces

of fruit was gonna be the next one to fall.

Yes. He would just raise

his arms up in the air,

and that coconut would

just drop right into his hands.

Was he as big as you?

- No. He wasn't so big.

- Then how come he was so special?

I don't know.

Lord, I gotta keep on movin'

Lord, I gotta get on down

Lord, I gotta keep on movin'

Where I can't be found

Lord, they're comin' after me

I've been accused of a killin'

Lord knows I didn't do

For hanging me they are willing, yeah

That's why I gotta get on through

Lord, they're comin' after me

Lord, I gotta keep on movin'

Lord, I gotta get on down

Lord, I gotta keep on movin'

Where I can't be found

Law is comin' after me

I've got two boys and a woman

They're just gonna suffer now

Lord forgive me for not goin' back

But I'll be there anyhow

I'll be there anyhow

Lord, I gotta keep on movin'

Lord, I gotta get on down

Lord, I gotta keep on movin'

Where I can't be found

Law is comin' after me

Now, maybe someday

I'll find a piece of land

Somewhere not by or near anyone

Then I'll send for my

love, love, love, sweet woman

And my two grown-up sons

My two grown-up sons

Lord, I gotta keep on movin'

Lord, I gotta get on down

Lord, I gotta keep on movin'

Where I can't be found

Law is comin' after me

Lord, I gotta keep on movin'

Lord, I gotta get on down

Lord, I gotta keep on movin'

Where I can't be found

Law is comin' after me
