The Lawless Page #2

Mistakes have a habit of creeping in

now and then, Mr Wilder.

And maybe that's why this paper has a habit

of losing money now and again, Mr Pawling.

Would you please fix it!

What a pity! I was just about

to rush down and buy me a lot!

You mean you have $150?

Oh... $75- 80.

When things get tough, I'll know

who to hit for a touch.

They'll get tough...

But I'm not your man.

I wouldn't invest a nickel

in this sheet.

Fine time to tell me!

You didn't ask.

Just walked in, took off your hat and said

"Boys, I'm the new owner. "

All my life I've been

dreaming a dream...

Don't pinch me because

I might wake up!

Why, do you know last night I heard

mockingbirds outside my window.

First time in 20 years.

Just think, mockingbirds and

nobody to take orders from.

Did i say that?

Well I haven't changed my mind

about the mockingbirds.

I too am a man with a dream...

of getting out of Santa Marta.

You can have IT and the mockingbirds...

in 6 months you'll hate both.

What's got into you?

This morning you were bubbling over.

You had a new girl... the world

was a wonderful place.

Fight with her already?

No, we're just like that!

And after tonight when I buy her a dinner

and ply her with flagons,

we might be even closer than that.

- You got a date?

- Yeah.

- Do you like dancing?

- Love it.

Good. Here you are.

Gee, thanks Larry!

Oh no!

Well someone's got to cover it.

Now, Larry... I been working on

this mouse for weeks.

You know I have.

What's she gonna say

when I drag her down

to a fruit-tramp brawl

in Sleepy Hollow?

What do you think her folks'll say?

You're not taking her folks.

I'm not taking her either.

Anyway, it'll probably end up in a fight.

That's why I want it covered.

Well... I guess I'll have to call her

and tell I've got to work.

Never mind, I'll cover it.

Make sure you take her

somewhere impressive.

Gee, thanks.

Before you leave, check the

car loadings for the week

and phone them into Stockton.

Make a final check on the weather

in the hills for tomorrow...

And be careful tonight...

You know how they talk

in small towns.

You're telling me!

Hi ya Frank!

- Hi Harry.

- 'Bout time you got here.

What'd they do...

Make you wash the dishes?

Nobody makes me wash dishes.

You got dishpan hands!

Want to take a feel of 'em

with your eye?

Hey, what's on the program

for tonight?

I feel like dancin'.

The Country Club's jumpin'

with our parents.

Wouldn't have any fun there.

Who said anything about

the Country Club?

Some of those tomato-pickers are

pretty good-lookin' tomatoes themselves.

Oh, it's you Mr Wilding... I'm sorry.

- And if it hadn't been me?

- We'd have shaken you down.
