Blowing Wild Page #2

and you can say hello to Marina.

Your wife here?

Just for the day.

She gets restless at home.

She sure will be surprised

to see you.

It's getting late.

Maybe she's asleep.

No, no. She can't go to sleep,

till I kiss her goodnight. Come on.

Marina!

Where are you, honey?

I bet she's taking a bath.

She loves sitting in the tub.

Marina? Oh! Hiya, sweetheart.

- Brawling again?

- A friendly scrap.

Hand me my negligee.

Hey, this is new.

Must've cost plenty.

I'm not complaining, angel.

You're entitled.

- You smell like a gutter.

- That's where I been.

Hey, guess who I brought up here.

Jeff Dawson! I sure missed that guy.

It was great to see him again.

Come on out and say hello, huh?

She'll be out in a second.

I used to think married guys

were suckers. I still think so.

But there's only one Marina

and I got her...

I never can find anything!

Is that stuff or is that stuff?

Nice to see you again.

Been a long time.

- Hello, Marina.

- Honey, I can't find the tequila!

What would I do without you?

Come on, Jeff, pull up a chair.

We'll kill the bottle

and have some laughs.

Stick around and laugh, Jeff!

Where'd you go when you

left here?

All over. Guatemala, Venezuela...

What happened in Venezuela?

Everything went sky-high, including

the equipment and four creditors.

I was out of the country

before it came down.

Then I spotted in a new rig

near here.

I was on top of the prettiest

anticline you ever saw.

- Anticline but no showings, eh?

- Plenty.

But banditos showed up

before the pay sand.

Bourbon neat, as I remember.

You'll never get smart -

always wildcatting.

Quit and settle down!

I like finding oil,

not watching it pump.

You used to be that way. Remember

Texas? We sold out in six months.

That was before Marina.

She keeps it interesting here.

You were a sucker to walk out.

You had half.

Now I've got three sections,

money rolling in.

I'm opening a new section.

Throw in with me.

- If we bring it in, you get a piece.

- Sorry, Paco, I can't.

- Why not?

- Yes, why not?

Same reason as before.

Why'd you run out on me?

What'd I do?

Nothing. I just had another lease

I thought looked pretty good.

There must have been

some other reason.

- He's back now.

- Just when I need him the most.

I'm worried about those

banditos, too. Jeff...

Forget it. I better find Dutch.

We got a job to do tomorrow.

Don't go, Jeff!

Just when I find you again!

- He really needs you.

- Good night, Marina.

Good night.

That well the bandits blew up -

you still got the lease?

- Yeah, why?

- Just asking.

Don't disappear again.

Let's keep in touch.

Ah, he's a great guy!

Funny how all the dames

used to go for him!
