You Only Live Once Page #5

This is the R and E service station.

Taylor just stuck us up.

Yeah, a green sedan.

No, the licence plates

were covered with mud.

They took tyres and gas.

Tell him they took

all the cash.

They robbed

the cash register too.

I got word that the police

had them bottled up...

but they slipped through again.

I wonder if the baby

is born yet.

Poor Joan.

They're being blamed for every

crime committed in the country.

Why are you stopping?

We have to pass through

a town pretty soon.

These bullet holes

tell too much.

I'll get it for you.

I'm alright.

Don't take any chances.

Lucky they didn't hit us.

Here, drink some.

I'm not hungry.

You need it.

From all they've stole,

they must be millionaires by now.

Probably hiding in a swell place,

having a good time.

We'll find a place soon.

Sure, kid.

You ought to let me take you to

a hospital. This is all wrong.

They'll kill you,

if we don't keep out of towns.

What if they do? You've got

something to live for now.

We've got something

to live for.

If they kill you,

I'll have nothing.

We'll beat this thing yet,

kid.

Joan.

Eddie.

I'm afraid

we have to get going.

I know.

I wouldn't like to take the chance

of staying any longer.

We're ready,

aren't we, darling?

Cute.

Is it Joan?

No.

Just a truck.

Something must've happened.

Do you think the police coulve

steamed open Eddie's letter?

I didn't think so at first,

but now I'm afraid they did.

I hope I'm wrong.

What a relief it'll be

to get her on board that ship.

- Joan.

- Joan.

I didn't think you'd ever get here.

Neither did I.

Stephen.

Joan.

Have you got any milk?

Thanks, Stephen.

Is it a boy or a girl?

It's a boy.

What's his name?

We just call him baby.

Let me hold him.

Careful.

We love him, he's the best baby

in the whole world.

Dash, he's cute.

I've written everything out.

keep him well and happy,

until I can send for him.

Joan, you aren't going?

Eddie is waiting for me.

You can't. Not after Stephen

has sacrificed everything.

Risked his career, just to get you

out of the country.

Everything's ready.

Baby's clothes, clothes for you.

Joan, please listen to me.

It's a 10 year jail sentence for you

if you're found with Eddie.

And they will find him.

If you take this boat to Havana, I'll

clear your name while you're away.

You can't refuse,

for the sake of the baby.

Please, Joan.

I appreciate everything you've done,

but I can't leave Eddie.

Don't worry about me,

I'll be alright.

We'll get across the border

before it gets light...

and when we do, I won't lose a minute

sending for Bonnie and the baby.

Bonnie, I can't.

Goodbye, Stephen. Eddie asked me

to thank you for everything.

Come closer, Joan.

I never knew two people

could be so close.

The last sign said

What's that light

between those trees?

It's just a star.

The morning star.

Back there, I watched

through the cabin window.

You and the baby looked so warm

and safe, inside a house.

We were inside a house once,

for a few minutes.

Lots of people in love get to

live inside a house...

That doesn't matter now. Maybe

anywhere is our home.

In the car, out on that cold star,

anywhere's our home.

There's something I never told you.

I shoulve told you a long time ago.

Thanks, Joan, for loving me.

Come closer, Joan.

I bought some cigarettes.

Eddie, look out!

Stop, or I'll let you have it.

Darling, are you hurt?

He didn't scratch me.

Hit you?

Don't be afraid, darling.

We'll make it.

Eddie.

Come on, darling,

it isn't far now.

Only a few steps, darling,

it's only a few steps.

We're okay, kid,

we're okay.

Joan.

I'd do it again, darling,

all over again.

Gladly.

Joan.

Eddie.

Eddie.

You're free, Eddie!

The gates are open!
