No, I'm hauling privies

to Duke City, New Mexico.

You're hauling what? Privies.

Hundred and fifty-six privies.

High-tailing down the road at 70

miles an hour. How do you like that?

What kind of emergency do you suppose

they got in Duke City, New Mexico?

I feel about four pounds lighter.

It's always hard to get

'em on over clean socks.

Well, you got awful big feet, Jack.

No, that's not it.

Your feet swell after a bath.

I'm not sure whether

it's good for 'em or not.

There!

Gotta give that little

mare a drink before I go.

Money in that bandoleer.

Want you to use it if

anything goes wrong.

What can go wrong?

Hard to tell. Probably nothing.

What are you gonna do, Jack?

Already told you.

I'm gonna give that little mare a drink.

Give her some grass in the

morning if I'm not back.

Do that?

Do that.

Tell Seth I'll see him later, huh?

Jack, what are you gonna do?

Well, about every six months I

figure I owe myself a good drunk.

Rinses your insides out,

sweetens your breath,

tones up your skin.

Well, then, buy a

bottle and drink it here.

Getting caught drunk in

public's about the easiest way

I know of breaking into jail.

It's more fun, too.

Be careful, Jack.

Don't make any trouble.

Trouble's what I came here to fix up.

You be a good girl, Whisky.

I'll be back pretty soon.

Okay, I'll be careful.

And keep the change.

Hey, watch it there,

fella, I almost spilled...

My fault, amigo.

I'm sorry.

Now, why'd you throw that bottle?

I never saw you before in my life.

Try and watch it, huh?

You sure you got the right fella?

We haven't even been introduced.

My name's Burns.

What's the matter, cowboy?

I only got one arm.

You ain't afraid to fight

a one-armed man, are you?

You know, a fella can get hurt

falling backwards off a chair?

Are you positive it's

me you want, amigo?

I'm not afraid of you, cowboy.

I don't give a damn

how many arms you grow.

If you're not satisfied

with the arm you've got,

why don't you chop it off?

I lost that arm in Okinawa.

What did you do?

Oh, I didn't do anything.

Let's have a drink and talk it over.

You're afraid, you cobarde.

Never call a man that, no

matter what. Never do it.

I might kill you for

calling me a thing like that.

Just stand where you are, boys.

This fella wants action,

I'll be glad to accommodate him.

Do it one arm behind my back.

If any of you boys

interfere, I use two hands.

All right, maldito.

Use your left arm, amigo.

BARTENDER:
Give me the police.

Listen to me, you...

Not two hands!

One arm, amigo.

You fight with your left hand,

just like him. See, mister?

MAN:
He had to use both hands.

That's him. The cowboy on the bottom!

Dalton Trumbo

James Dalton Trumbo (December 9, 1905 – September 10, 1976) was an American screenwriter and novelist who scripted many award-winning films including Roman Holiday, Exodus, Spartacus, and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. One of the Hollywood Ten, he refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947 during the committee's investigation of communist influences in the motion picture industry. He, along with the other members of the Hollywood Ten and hundreds of other industry professionals, was subsequently blacklisted by that industry. His talents as one of the top screenwriters allowed him to continue working clandestinely, producing work under other authors' names or pseudonyms. His uncredited work won two Academy Awards: for Roman Holiday (1953), which was given to a front writer, and for The Brave One (1956) which was awarded to a pseudonym of Trumbo's. When he was given public screen credit for both Exodus and Spartacus in 1960, this marked the beginning of the end of the Hollywood Blacklist for Trumbo and other screenwriters. He finally was given full credit by the Writers' Guild for all his achievements, the work of which encompassed six decades of screenwriting. more…
