You're gonna have to get

[Man] All right, Roy, ante up.

You bounce back fast,

kimosabe.

Ow.

What are you doin' here ? I thought

you were going to Carson City.

You ! You gave me

bad directions !

No, I gave you

wrong directions.

You want

your toothpicks back ?

- You got a lot of nerve,

comin' in here with that--

- Give it back to me !

- Ain't that somethin' ?

- [ Laughs ]

Take your hand

off me.

[ Speaking Chinese ]

Keep goin' with the Chinese. That's

workin'. They're about to let you out.

- Give me the book back !

- For cryin' out loud, just

give him the book back, please.

- If it'll give us some peace

and quiet-- Forget about it.

- Open it up !

- They're not givin' you

the book back. Drop the book.

- I wasted enough time with you.

- What ? You've wasted enough

time with me ? What about me ?

- Give me the book !

- Listen for a second. Stop !

- Give me the book ! Hey !

Listen ! Stop !

You're not in the East, okay ?

You're not in China. This is the West.

The sun doesn't rise here, it sets here,

and you're closer

to getting us hung than you are

getting that book back, okay ?

Now, just--

I like that.

That's what I'm talking about.

You're wound so tight.

You're the most irritable guy I've ever

been around. Just relax for a second.

Take ten minutes, and then

you can go back to screaming, I promise.

I'll join you.

Okay, just relax for a second.

Come on, sit down.

Come on.

Just relax.

Is that relaxed ?

You look sort of

rigid there.

You know what ?

We got off on the wrong foot.

Let's try to start again.

Man, you sure can fight.

I've never seen anything like that.

[ Imitating Karate Yells ]

It was--

I'm trying to give you

a compliment.
