- You put him to sleep?

- Yeah.

- When's he gonna wake up?

- You killed him. You gassed him.

- No. We gave him an injection.

- lt's much more humane, so you don't...

- What kind of humanity is that?

You're a murderer, you know that?

l can't believe it.

That was my only relationship.

My best friend. Seven years.

My marriage only lasted five.

- lt's just not just!

- l'm really sorry.

Would you like some puppies?

We got a lot of puppies.

- My dog's leash.

- l'm sorry.

Doc, man, she can't do anything.

Come on. OK? All right?

- What's it say?

- ''F*** you'' in ltalian.

Sh*t! She's gone back to ltaly

to her parents. Goddamnit!

That's too bad, Richie.

Well, at least she left the TV.

lt was a marriage made in hell.

l'm sure gonna miss my boy.

Maybe she'll be back.

Sure. Who could leave all this(?)

- (Doc ) Where are we goin' now?

- (BoyIe) Guatemala.

- Why?

- Why not?

No cops, no laws, sun.

lt's cheap. No yuppies.

Great dope.

(BoyIe) Look at you. You are like

a walking museum of the '60s.

- What the f*** are you?

- l am a forward-thinking human being.

l know about life. l explore things.

ln journalism, you're in touch with reality.

You come off with this journalist bullshit

all the goddamn time. You know that?

l haven't seen one goddamn article

that you've written.

- l wrote a book. FIower of the Dragon.

- That was ten years ago, Boyle!

- Expose. lt was a big expose.

- Ten years ago.

- What have you written since?

- l've written articles.

- What articles?

- One in a newspaper in El Salvador.

The one in El Salvador? Oh, yeah,

l read that. My whole family read that(!)

Everyone saw that article, Boyle(!)

You said Guatemala, man. You didn't

say anything about El Salvador.

l've never been out of the country.

- They kill people here.

- You believe everything in the papers?

You're gonna love it here.

Give me the joint.

Look, Doc, this is my last chance.

lf l can get some good combat shots,

l can make some money.

- So l can pay you back.

- You better pay me back.

Then we'll go to La Libertad,

the best surfing beach in the world.

Kick back for a few months. Be fantastic.

You could live in this country

for 300 bucks a year.

- What the f*** is this?

- Mace.

- Mace for what?

- Wild dogs.

Wild dogs. That's bullshit, Boyle!

- You've lied to me straight through.

- Want me to be honest with you?

No. What the hell you doin' with all these?

Here you could have

a semblance of a life.

- What are all these?

- Give me one. They come in handy.

- You're gonna love it here, Doc.

- l'm goin' home, man.

You can drive drunk,

get anybody killed for 50 bucks.

- l don't wanna kill anyone for 50 bucks.
