Step on it.

Let's get the hell out of here.

What's a fight without

a little broken glass?

He started it. Kind of

punch his lights out!

I don't care who started it,

you're both under arrest.

- You ain't no cop.

- Oh, yes I am. Into the truck.

- What for? What's the charge?

- I don't know yet.

Murder, if he dies.

If he tries to run away,

you knock on that glass.

If he tries anything, shoot him.

If police have a drink don't chill the fun.

Oh, he can't take him anywhere.

Oops. I'll warn him.

Hey, enough.

That's what I'm here for.

You've done wonders with the place, Ben.

There is a 140 acres here.

Sharkey used to have 75

Arabians here at one time.

- Arabians?

- Horses.

Before he was killed in a war.

What war?

My war.

I love it.

You get the city to pay

the rent on this thing?

Yeah, they'll do it.

Where is Iris buried?

Buried in town.

I really liked her.

Sorry I missed the funeral.

Gonna take it?

It's home.

Hey, bro.

You take care of this.

Last time Butterfield stopped in

Elk Hills it had wooden wheels.

May get a come back.

- How's business?

- Great in the back.

- It's dead out here.

- Linda Ronstadt she ain't.

Hey, get back on the door.

I want to hear her sing.

If that happens while you're gone,

I'll call you. Now get on the door.

- What the hell key are you playing in?

- All the keys you were singing in.

I think you're getting it.

Give me a Rye and Ginger.

This guy's name is Pepper Cinnader.

He showed up about the same time

they opened the oil fields.

I reckon he's behind

most of the illegal goings on.

I hope he's in.

I'll take it from here.

Well I was going to introduce you to

the head waiter. Get you a good table.

If he stakes me in a

corner, I'll call you.

Take care, boy!

Action's in the background, cowboy.

Well I ain't looking for

any action, cowgirl.

I remember you. The ladies room

Texaco station, Tropicana, Texas, 1969.

I spent all of 69 in the orient.

You're a cop. I hate cops.

So do I.

It's a beginning.

You're crazy.

You got a great place here.

- What's this?

- Fun zone.

Have fun.

- I hope you're not in a hurry.

- I got all night.

Come on, let's bust this place.

Aaron is waiting.

Got to feed the chickens?

I'll be back.

I don't have to be at work until 8.

Little Dee, you are out of work.

Oh, good hit.

The cops?

The rival game.

I heard of paying out the local police.

This is the best.

You got time to get dressed, get

your ass back out here and leave town.

I suppose it's too late

to work something out?

Too late.

We're busy.

- Hurry out, let's go.

- Slow down. Ok, get your hands off.

Shame on you.

Alright, all of them flushed out.

- Get inside.

- What the hell are you doing?

You're on my team now.

- Now. What's next?

- In the back.

Ain't I lucky.

He ain't never was much of a hunter.

That old man Shakey never misses

the opening of the deer season.

Won't use nothing but

one of this muzzle loaders.

- Do they work?

- Yeah, accurate up to about 75 yards.

You got to be a hell of a hunter,

or you won't ever get a deer.

You and Aaron hunt a lot

when you were kids?

No, he did.

I never like killing.

I'd rather make something.

He's frightening to me.

- Did you ever fight him?

- No.

Yeah, I did once. Long time ago, for

a girl. We were about seventeen.

We were seventeen or eighteen.

- Who won?

- He did.

Ok, I see. She picked you?

Was it Iris?

We all ended up friends. I think she's

the only girl in Elk Hills he ever liked.

Maybe that's why he hates it around here.

He don't hate nothing.

Aaron just got to have a big fuss made over

him if he thinks people don't like him.

A hero.

Daddy, daddy, it's finished

just in time for the parade.

How do you like it?

- You'll steal the parade, darling.

- The Dodgers on.

- Want to watch?

- I hate baseball.

I hate baseball.

You hate parades too?

- When is it?

- 4th July.

Here we goes, purchase orders.

You wanna sign this.

Pleasure doing business with you.

Why are you doing

all this stuff, Chief Lee?

You never know when a revolution's

gonna happen. You got to be ready.

Gotta be.

Happy hunting.

We have firepower here to retake Saigon.

Freddie, what the hell's going on up there?

It's only Aaron, boys. Your new boss.

You are crazy.

I'm crazy? I ain't driving around

a live firing range in a Cadillac.

How are you doing?

How come you still

taking target practice?

You never miss.

I like staying on top, the feeling.

Hey, what is this?

What do you got going?

Liquor, whores, dope.

Little Dee, this here is Freddie Howe.

We gonna do some business.

- We met.

- We did?

- Vegas?

- Calgary Stampede, summer of '72.

I was in jail, summer of '72.

- She thinks she knows everyone.

- I do.

- Hey, you got a phone in this place?

- On the table.

- Wanna hear a song?

- No.

- He is going to run the casino?

- Yeah.

Ah, Bellew...

Listen, I want cages, tables and wheels.

Get them up here.

I want them set up for the weekend.

Hey, shut up, will you.

No, not you.

Hey get a hold of Puddles Renfrew.

No, the cops are strictly keystone.

Matter of fact, I am the cops.

No, it's fifty-fifty split with Aaron.

No, I brought my own muscle.

Loony, Lance and Wolf.

Thanks a lot.

I hate listenin to this

fagot music all afternoon.

Hey you, that's private property.

There must be a Buddy Holly

record here somewhere.

Hey, hey, that's my quarter, sweetheart.

Why don't you save your

money for music lessons.

Well, come on now, please stop the fight.

Come on fellas. Get it over with.

Sure glad to see you, Aaron.

Aaron, I want them all arrested.

Bad for business.

Things like you cowboys... Just at ease...

- Done about $1000 worth of damage.

- Sounds fair to me.

This bar is the jail for all of you

till you come up with that $ 1000.

This guy started it.

Mayor Bradford don't care which trash

started, he just wants the bar fixed.

$ 1,000.

Just to let you all know

that the bullshit's over.

Wanna play cowboys and

indians, do it out in the pasture.

Nobody is taking over this town.

Better count this, mayor.

Now Aaron, that's what

I call fast action.

Well, they don't come cheap.

It all adds up, right boys.

You know the word's out.

Aaron means business.

I got to hand it to him,

he's doing what he's supposed to do.

And no screwing around.

Are you cooking all

these eggs with a Zippo?

Anybody in a hurry,

is in the wrong dining.

Hi Ben, how you doing?

Well how do you like the

way Elk Hills is turning out?

- Creative police work, huh?

- You know, I think we're out of the woods.

- Shakey. Thanky.

- Thank you.

How was it?

Well, you haven't learned

how to burn the coffee yet.

Well, give me time.

I'm working on it.

- What will it be, Ben.

- I think I'll just stick with coffee.

One house speciality.

Well, I heard you ain't

ready to admit yet.

Sure, he's doing a good job.

But I still don't approve of his methods.

Oh, I think he's just

trying to let people know
