The Mexican Page #3

Synopsis: Jerry Welbach is given two ultimatums. His mob boss wants him to travel to Mexico to get a priceless antique pistol called "The Mexican" or he will suffer the consequences. The other ultimatum comes from his girlfriend Samantha, who wants him to end his association with the mob. Jerry figures that being alive, although in trouble with his girlfriend is the better alternative so he heads south of the border. Finding the pistol is easy but getting it home is a whole other matter. The pistol supposedly carries a curse - a curse Jerry is given every reason to believe, especially when Samantha is held hostage by the gay hit man Leroy to ensure the safe return of the pistol.

you know? I... I love to look at it.

(Let me show you something.

Look, there's a bullet in there.)

(It's handmade. Hand-f***ing-made.)

You don't even want to know

what this gun is worth.

We could sell that gun, man.

It's... It's a great f***ing gun.

And I'm not just talking sh*t either.

You don't have to be a... F***.

I've been pissin' on myself. F***.

Anyway, the old man

is nothing to be afraid of.

As a matter of fact,

last week I told him to f*** off.

- Yeah, you did!

- That's what I said too!

I said, "F*** off, Margolese,

you old prune sh*t-ass! If you..."

Come on, fella. Get up. Huh?

Man, you're soaked in your own urine.

Don't make me carry you.

Hey!

Ah, this is my life.

All right.

Yeah, baby. I got the touch.

- (Groans)

- Oh!

Buddy, you whacked your noggin!

Hey.

Oh, f...

Ooh.

Hey, man. Hey.

Oh, sh*t!

Oh, sh*t!

Stop that! Stop!

Christ!

I found the gun.

'The gun is in your possession?'

As we speak.

But, like I said, there's, uh...

There's a problem.

What? You lost the kid? He's a souse,

he'll be in another bar.

The kid's dead, Ted.

Ted, are you hearing me?

Yeah. I-I heard you.

How?

Bad luck, act of God, f*** if I know.

All these maniacs shooting

guns up into the sky.

It's Independence Day or something.

The kid got tagged by a loose one.

Right in the f***in' head.

I mean... Fu...

He's dead! The kid's dead.

The little f***er's in my car

right now, dead.

Geez, Jerry,

that's not a little problem.

- 'That's a big problem.'

- I know.

Jerry, that little f***er

is Margolese's grandson.

What? What?

'Geez, you really

f***ed it this time.'

What did I have to do with it? One

minute he's pissin', next he's dead.

'Don't even move.'

I'll phone the office now.

I'll get me on a plane

and straighten sh*t out.

Ted, you gotta get word to the old

man. I didn't know who he was.

- OK. Just sit tight, Jerry.

- (Crackling)

- Hello?

- Ted? Ted? Hello?

(Line cuts out)

(Car engine revving)

Hey! Wait!

Oh, no!

Excuse me, Bernie.

There is an issue.

It's that f***in' Welbach.

# You keep sayin'

you got somethin' for me

# Something you call love,

but confess

# You've been a-messin'

where you shouldn't been a-messin'

(PA) # And now someone else

is gettin' all your best

# These boots are made for walkin'

# And that's just what they'll do

# One of these days these boots

are gonna walk all over you... #

(# Pipe organ music)

# You keep lyin'

when you ought to be truthin'

# And you keep losin'

when you ought to not bet

# You keep samin'

when you ought to be a-changin'

# Now what's right is right

but you ain't been right yet

# These boots are made for walkin'
