We got one of those.

I didn't see it.

Well, it's out there.

I'd still like to see it.

Follow me.

- That?

- Yeah. It flies like a bird.

- That won't be ready in time.

- I can nail it together in 30 minutes.

It has to be tomorrow.

It'll be ready. Don't worry.

You just trust old Nick.

Run along. Don't worry.

It's under control.

I certainly hope so.

Remember, you just trust me.

That's the last time

I shovel your mess.

You did a good job.

Why do I always end up shovelling?

While you shovelled,

I made us $500.

- Five?

- She's paying me to fly to Mexico.

We lost more on the fish.

I know that. Hell, I'm ready

to pay my loss right now.

There's a check for $500 made out

by Chili Shuster himself.

Sh*t! Chili's doing 20

in Huntsville for bad checks.

What are you gonna do, condemn a man

because he was caught? Damn it.

According to this map,

we should be almost there.

- Any last-minute things to say?

- Like what?

- This guy we're gonna pick up?

- You've been well paid, Mr. Colton.

What the hell?

- That's him! Wait!

- Where?

- You didn't pay me for this!

- Wait!

- Stop, you bastard!

- Let go! Let go!

For trying to escape.

For underestimating me.

You need companionship.

You will learn.

Yeah, what did I tell you?

Right on time.

You know what you can do.

What the hell happened?

Coward!

There were guys shooting at us.

- We could have done it!

- You almost got us killed.

- You were paid to get my husband!

- Not to get shot!

- Your husband?

- Yes.

Yes. And you were paid.

All I knew was it was a pickup.

I wasn't supposed to get shot at.

I didn't know it was your husband.

Got a slug in the oil line.

The oil line?

We'll find someone else.

You listen to that shyster. Maybe

you'll manage to get somebody killed.

Want my advice? Talk to a pro.

Like you?

Yeah, like me!

You look at me

and see a bum in a funny hat.

But I am a pro.

I make my living on this border.

I know the ins and outs.

And you see this hat?

It's to strain the lousy gasoline

you sell there.

I'm not about to rip her off...

...and blow my reputation.

- We don't know you.

To hell with you!

- It's leaking like a sieve.

- I know.

Ann! Ann!

I don't care what it costs.

I want Jay out of there.

Mr. Colton, I want you to try again.

This time you tell me everything.

Why won't they let him out?

He's in prison.

Sh*t.

In that case, it'll cost you $2000.

Preposterous!

That's 2000 to get him.

2000 on delivery.

No!

- Can you guarantee delivery?

- I don't know what he did.

But there are ways.

He's innocent.

What's the difference?

It's just as tough and costs the same.

Give him 2000.

- We should discuss this.

- Give it to him.
