Born to Kill Page #2

Thank you.

Where you been?

Out.

No.

Who with, the Palmer dame?

If we're gonna carry on a conversation,|it'd help for you to talk.

The Palmer dame's dead.

Why'd you do it, Sam?

I had to. She caught me with him.

- Him?|- That kid.

They were making a monkey out of me.

I wouldn't have killed her too, but she|walked in and saw the kid lying there.

I was scared something like this would|happen. The way you go off your head.

It's been worse lately. Ever since|that nervous crack-up last summer.

Honest, Sam.

You go nuts about nothing.|Nothing at all. You gotta watch that.

You can't kill people whenever you want.|It's not feasible.

- Why isn't it?|- All right, Sam. All right, it is.

- He was cutting in on me.|- With her?

- That was a big worry, I'll bet.|- It's not that.

It's just that I never let anybody|cut in on me on anything.

I can have anything I want|if I put my mind to it.

Sure, Sam, sure.

When I want it, I take it.|Nobody cuts in.

Of course, Sam.

He must've been crazy|thinking he stood a chance...

...with the dame after she got|a load of you.

- Anyone spot you there?|- Not that I know of.

- Anyone see you with her?|- I don't watch everybody that looks at me.

Take it easy, will you, Sam?|I'm trying to help you, that's all.

There's a train out of here in an hour|for San Francisco. You'll be on it.

- Are you coming?|- No, I'll stick here till this dies down.

I'll check what leads they've got.|See if anybody saw you, and who.

You get out, call me when you're set.|Need any dough?

No.

Buy your ticket after|you get on the train.

And, Sam, in the meantime,|no dames, understand?

I've got a dame on my mind,|and she's dead.

And that's plenty for me.

I'll take those for you.

Well, that's very kind of you.

- What's your Pullman number?|- I haven't one. They're sold out.

- That's too bad. Have you got a ticket?|- Yes.

Well, good. Let's go.

- Which car, sir?|- This is it.

There must be some mistake.|There's no room.

Don't worry. Which way's the club car?

- It's the next car, but it's closed, sir.|- Well, right now it's opening again.

Well, now at least we won't get|thrown off till the next stop.

Don't worry. Nobody's gonna|throw us off.

What an assured man.

Know what you want, be sure you'll get it,|and you can't miss.

I found that out early.

Most people don't know|what they want out of life.

- I'll bet you do.|- Do I?

Yes.

Yes, I do. Exactly. Don't you?

I know what I want when I see it.

- Smoke?|- No, thank you.

I saw you once before this evening.

- Remember?|- Yes.

You didn't play long.

No. I don't like gambling very much.

I don't like being at the mercy|of white squares...
