Charley, I can't get a spark.

Let's see that.

- Oh, you got too big a gap here.

- Yeah.

Here you go, bring this cap in.

See it?

- Alright, did you rig the thank?

- Yeah

Alright. That's it. Close the door and

get the truck started.

Nadine was a hell of a driver Charley!

Yeah. She was.

Damn. This tooth of

mine is killing me.

Thought you took care of that last week.

Yeah, well I... I went to

that dentist of yours.

It was pretty good on me and Nadine.

Real fine Charley.

Lots of luck.

You know, Nadine once told me that..

You and her met at an air circus.

Just her and me in an old biplane.

What'd you do?

Well, she did wing walking.

I did a drunk act.

- A drunk act?

- Yeah.

I came out of the stands dressed like

a drunken sailor waiving a whiskey bottle.

Staggered all over the plane.

Everybody be hollering: "Stop him! Stop him!"

I'd hedge-hop around the field a few times.

And do a flip-over

right in front of the grandstand.

- On its back?

- Yeah.

Crazy Charley!

One day I nearly got killed and...

...figured there must be an easier way.

- Crop dusting.

- Crop dusting.

- Yeah.

Chance to fly. Be independent.

And of course we..

...we couldn't compete with the a...

- The big combines.

- Right.

Yeah.

So we got a hold of you and Al Dutcher.

Decided to see what we could

do about some small banks.

- No trouble.

- Yeah. No trouble.

- Look at that.

- What?

Up ahead.

Yeah.

Play the harmonica.

You know I used to make my

living playing this thing?

- Ok. Play it.

- Professionally.

Just relax.

Sons of b*tches are coming back this way.

- What's that for?

- What do you think?

Harman we're crop dusters.

Crop dusters don't wave guns.

Put that thing away. Fast.

Right. Ok.

Any second now there's gonna be one hell of

a bang on that hill. What do we do then?

Just play it by ear Harman.

It that how you got to be

such a big winner Charley?

Don't make any stupid moves, you hear?

Alright, well let me tell you.

He starts snooping

around in the back here, I'm

gonna blow his snout off.

Hi.

Something wrong officer?

- May I see your operator's license, please?

- You bet.

That's me Charley Varrick.

We've been operating out of Reese

since the first of the year.

Thank you very much Mr. Varrick.

Do you mind if I take a look in there?

In there? Sure.

What's in those drums?

In there?

Just uh... Mellifium, Chlordine...

Pesticides, Insecticides, stuff like that...

Herbicides.

Have you been on Tres Cruces' road today?

Why? Something happened?

Now we would get a long a lot better if you

let me ask the questions and you answer.

You bet.

Now what I want is some information

on some people in a yellow '72..
