now you got a free ride

to Mormon land.

Must be my lucky day.

Must be.

I almost didn't stop.

In the old days,

I'd never think twice

about picking up a rider.

These days, you can't be too careful

who you let in your car.

You know, if you'd just let me out

at this place we're coming up on,

that'd be great.

I don't think so.

There's another place

about 20 miles

up the road.

Look, I said

I want out here.

Sorry, friend.

This is mining country.

I can take care

of myself.

I believe you just might be

fool enough to try.

Thanks for the lift.

Hell, lettin' a bunch of naked women

scare you off. Heh heh.

How you doin'?

I'll have a beer.

Don't have beer.

Ok, uh...

I'll have whatever's

in one of those bottles.

I was hoping I might

catch a ride over to Raton.

Well...

you might be waiting here

a long time, then.

Well, I'll take a ride

anywhere in that direction.

I bet you would.

You got a problem

with something?

You say this

is the guy, Ben?

He's one of them,

all right.

My friend Ben here

was in Raton

last Friday night.

Claims you and some

of your friends jumped him.

Well, he's mistaken.

And you're

a goddamn liar.

Uh-uh.

They aren't going

in your direction.

Course right now,

I figure you'd probably

take a lift in any direction.

Look, I'm not calling your friend

or anyone else a liar.

All I'm saying is I wouldn't have

done that to anybody.

On your feet, boy!

You made a bad mistake

comin' in here.

Now, seein' that Ben can't

do this to you himself,

I'm going to teach you

a lesson.

Hey, Rick.

Do it again.

Come on!

Your memory

becoming clearer?

I never saw him before.

No?

Son of a b*tch!

Get his goddamn legs.

Want another piece

of him?

No, I got to

take a leak.

Luke!

You keep him warmed up

till I get back, huh?

Huh?

Uhh!

Hey, Luke! I said

don't kill the bastard!

I'll be right back!

Ha ha ha ha.

Hoo hoo ha ha ha.

Try it,

and it's history.

Luke!

He's got a knife on me!

Bring the guy

in here, alone, man.

Let him go.

I'll blow your

friend's head off.

Some friends you got.

I didn't come

to negotiate, Bud.

Aah! Don't bargain with him,

you a**hole! He'll cut my dick off!

Now slide the piece

over here.

And let him go.

You ok?

Yeah.

Pick up the gun

and get the keys

out of my pocket.

Pull the car out front,

and when you're

ready, honk.

What about you?

I'll be out directly.

Hey... hey, man,

he... he let the guy go.

W-W-Why don't you

do likewise, huh?

I mean, that...

that was the deal.

Deal?

Who said anything

about a deal?

What?

Wha... W-What are you

going to do?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

No, no, please. Aah!

Oh! Oh, thank God.

Oh, thank you.

Still itching
