Breathless Page #2

The kid's a good sport. Give her an A.

- Can you go on, Monica?

- You sure you're OK?

Don't know much about history

Don't know much biology

Don't know much about a science book

Don't know much

about the French I took

But I do know that I love you

And I know that if you love me, too

What a wonderful world this would be

Hello, kid!

Do you want to go to Mjico with me?

Did you do this because I left

in the middle of the night?

Did I hurt your feelings

because I didn't say goodbye?

You could have cost me my degree!

All right, all right, all right, all right!

I know I'm crazy. I can't help it.

I guess I love you.

Love? We spent one or two nights

together in Las Vegas, that's all.

- Four. Come on. Let's go to Mexico!

- Don't be ridiculous!

- I have to study.

- All right. Bring your books along.

We'll feed 'em to the big turtles!

But I can't, Jesse.

I have to stay in school or my family

won't send me any more money.

Need money? That's what I'm doin' here.

I'm pickin' up a big bag of money!

But you told me

you had lots of enemies in LA.

Yeah, I do, I do! My enemies and you.

- So you're in danger.

- Yeah, I'm a desperado.

Desperado? What does it mean?

It means I'm desperate for you, Monica!

It's like blasting along the highway,

going 90, maybe 100 miles an hour.

Suddenly there's a dip in the road,

to suck your guts out!

Your breath is gone!

That's me around you, sugar! That's me!

Breathless!

You scare me, Jesse.

You can't just burst into a person's life

and explode it all up like this.

Las Vegas was a holiday. This is my life!

- Come here!

- Oh, no! Go away, Jesse!

You're wrong, you know! Las Vegas

was real life. This here's a holiday.

Then go back to Las Vegas!

A highway patrolman is on the critical list

at Mercy Hospital, Barstow,

after a shoot-out in the Mojave Desert.

He was found early this morning near

a car stolen in Las Vegas yesterday.

The assailant is believed

to be heading for Los Angeles.

A jacket with a wad of money

but no billfold was left at the scene.

- Here we go.

This is where you wanted

to get out, isn't it?

- Here?

- Oh, yeah. Right. Thanks.

- Thanks a lot.

- OK.

Hello, little honey! Tolmatchoff around?

Thank you.

Hey, kemo sabe!

How ya doin'? Hello, kid.

Hey, sheik.

- Got my money?

- He dropped it off yesterday. Back here.

So what's happening

at the kasbah this week?

- I don't know. How's Vegas?

- Great! I met a little girl.

- We're going to Mexico together.

- So you're on the lam again.

Here you go. Payday.

Said to tell you it was a slick job.

He's ready to go again any time you want.

Wait a minute. What is this? Cheque?

This fuckhead,
