The Killers Page #2

Anyone that can handle the wear

and tear on her mink coat...

Mmm, nice-looking chick here.

A lot of people thought so.

Big operators. I had eyes.

Think I could get that

through to Johnny?

How long did he know her?

He'd met her just

before the accident.

Exactly how long?

I don't know exactly how long.

Leave me alone, will you?

Sylvester, unless you want

to renew your partnership

with the late Johnny North,

I suggest you tell us everything

and anything we want to know.

How did he meet her?

It was out in California.

The big race.

We had a good chance.

Johnny was hot, the iron was hot.

I was clocking him.

Isn't it a handicap making him

drive with his brakes on?

Are you kidding? That was great time.

A minute 38 flat.

He'll have to do

a lot better than that.

- Well?

- The floats still need adjusting.

- The engine's burbling in the corners.

- I'll take a look at her.

- How'd she do?

- Just great. One minute 38 flat.

Hey, that's not bad, you know.

That's not bad...

- That's not bad at all.

- You'll like that one.

She thinks you oughta be entered

in a six-day bike race.

- Is that what the lady says?

- That's what the lady says.

Ma'am, you dig fast cars?

Haven't seen any lately, Johnny.

- Oh, you know me?

- I saw you win at Orlando.

You don't think I'm gonna win here.

I can't say I'm too impressed.

- Do you have a name?

- Sheila Farr.

Pretty cool, aren't you, Miss Farr?

Only when there's nothing

to be excited about.

Er, have you ever

been in one of these?

Nope.

- Think you'd have the guts to?

- Sure.

Earl, lock her up.

You've never ridden in one of these?

No.

Earl, she's never

ridden in one of these.

Well now, Johnny,

maybe some other time, eh?

- Earl's worried about you, Sheila.

- Oh, thanks, Earl.

- Johnny, I gotta work on her.

- So do I, Earl.

Now hang on tight. This time my wheels

are not gonna touch the ground.

Hey, Johnny! Johnny!

Fast enough for you, Miss Farr?

You still think I should be

entered in a bike race?

You had no competition.

But I liked it.

- Well, I didn't.

- You'll get over it, Earl.

- You don't scare easy.

- Neither do you.

Why don't you take her out again

and twist her wheels off!

- Did you really think you'd scare me?

- You can be scared.

- Would you like to try?

- You're a nutty dame.

I'm also a hungry dame.

Why don't you take me to lunch?

- Your car?

- Mm-hmm.

- Fancy.

- I like things that way.

I bet you do.

All right, I'll take you to lunch.

Slide over.

- Well, I thought I'd drive you this time.

- Slide over. Nobody drives me.

Hey, Johnny! You...

You have money written all over you.

What do you want with me?

- A hamburger and a beer.
