The keys.

Man, I was drunk driving.

I don't want to get shot for that.

The keys.

Hey, out there!

We got a wounded man here.

Hold your fire, we'll bring him out.

The keys.

Go ahead.

The keys.

Don't shoot.

Take him out, okay?

What are you doing, you?

Man, I hope you know what you're doing.

What are you doing?

Get the bus with Renda. That way.

Let's get the hell out of here.

The panel truck. Get the truck.

Hey, you move, you.

I had you figured for the local clown,

but you really move.

Hey, what'd they bust you for?

Assault with a shotgun.

A shotgun?

That's attempted murder, man.

They're gonna jam you the same as me.

I got an idea that might work.

You don't worry about it.

I give you a phone number to call,

we'll be out of the country before morning.

I like my idea better.

Now listen, you come with me...

be worth plenty.

Sound good?

You got it ass backwards. I ain't coming

with you, you're coming with me.

Wait a minute. Talk to me. Wait a minute.

All right, listen, listen a minute.

Well, we're home.

This is your home?

It's a place I use during hunting season.

You did take those keys.

Come on, what is this game?

In time, you'll find out.

You know, we could be in LA tonight.

Get in a couple of broads.

Go to Mexico City in a few days.

Cruise around, get a boat,

anything you want!

I've been to LA, and I've been to Mexico.

And I've been laid.

- Well, what do you want?

- I want to get a melon crop in.

Hire somebody to do that.

I intend to, but I got to be there.

Okay. All right.

Now I'm gonna tell you something.

I've killed seven times with a gun.

One guy I hit with a crowbar.

Another guy I threw off a roof.

Some others I didn't kill myself,

but I had it done...

like I can have it done for you,

if you don't make a deal with me.

What kind of deal?

You name the price.

Just get me out of these,

and I'll walk out of here. How much?

You don't know.

What's the matter,

you afraid your price will be too low?

All right, I'll tell you how much.

Twenty-five.

Twenty-five what?

$25,000.

How do you manage that?

I mean,

how would you get the money to me?

You call a number I'll give you in Denver.

You say you've got a message for Wiley.

The money will be delivered to you

any time, any place you say.

$25,000.

What did you say that number in Denver is?

Yeah. Okay.

Hi. How are you?

Okay. This is a nice place.

Yeah, we like it.

I was driving on the road, got a flat tire,

and I found I didn't have a spare.

That's a shame.

Yeah, a long walk to get here, too.

I was wondering

if you have a phone I could use.

Yes, we have a phone you can use.

How much to call Edna?

Edna? Two bits.

Two bits.
