The Long Haul Page #2

Inverness. Anyone for Inverness?

What's the load, mate?

- Fertilizer.

Why don't you mail it?

Liverpool. Liverpool anyone?

- Here.

A load of timber for

Liverpool. Any offers?

I'm right here.

I'm going to Liverpool.

- Name?

Kenny.

Hey, just a minute. Look,

I've been waiting over here.

What's the idea?

- Sorry, chum.

That's his load.

Let him have it. I'll find out

what's going on around here.

We take it in turns here, son.

Look, either you have the

merchandise or your haven't.

If you haven't we can't do business.

We would have, Mr Easy,

but we ran into some trouble.

That's your headache.

What do you want?

- Look, I just checked in outside.

Okay, put it somewhere else will you.

Come on, come on.

Joe.

- What?

Did you okay this contract?

That's my signature, isn't it?

Look, do you mind?

The man wants to see you, Joe.

What is it? What do you want?

I've an empty truck.

I'd like to fill it.

Get back on the right.

I've tried there. Your man doesn't

want to do business with me.

Well, maybe he doesn't like

your face or something.

Now go on, get out of here.

I've got work to do.

You heard.

- All I want is a job.

Come on, let's go.

- Mind the dog.

Get him out of here.

Come on, out of it ..

You too. Beat it.

One thing I wish I could do without

in this business is truck drivers.

I seem to remember you

drove a truck once yourself.

Things were different then.

No unions, no nothing.

No. It was a real tough game.

No rules.

Except this.

And you're still playing by

the old rules, aren't you.

That brother of yours is

beginning to get in my hair.

He's a smart boy, Joe.

- Oh, sure.

He's probably the smartest bookkeeper

whoever came out of jail.

We all make mistakes.

I made a mistake the day I took him on.

He's still going to go on

working for you, isn't he.

Well, are you coming? Because

I'm tired and I want to go home.

Look.

Why don't you go across the

street and get a cup of coffee?

I'll be five minutes.

Five minutes?

Are you badly hurt?

What's the matter?

What's happened?

Give me a hand with him, will you.

- Sure, sure.

Let's get him inside.

Dad, what happened?

I'll get some brandy.

Ben, get me the brandy. Quick.

You shouldn't have gone in there

like that. It was asking for trouble.

I was only asking for a job.

You were asking for a job and

they gave you the business, eh?

Here.

Thanks.

Hey, hey, hey. That ain't beer.

Are you going to be alright now?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Hey .. hey.

Say ..

How about taking a couple of days off?

Take Connie and the kid away

for the weekend somewhere.

What's the angle? This isn't Christmas.

I'd like you to make a

run into Glasgow tonight.

You got to be kidding.
