Do you have any

better offer lately?

You guys kill me! The more they kick you

in the teeth, the better you like it!

What are you looking for?

Handouts?

Here's 10 bucks! Live!

Don't get sore, Jerry.

- Who's sore? I feel sorry for you!

Tell your troubles to the 1st National

Bank. They got a Tough Luck Department!

Come on, take the 10 bucks

and out of here!

- Jerry...

- Yeah?

Who's your friend?

Who do you think?

Hello.

Yeah.

Oh, hello, Howard.

Listen, Mr. Yaeger,

Will you do me a favor?

Can you go over and tell my wife

that I won't be home for dinner?

I've got to see about a job.

Yeah.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Yaeger.

Goodbye.

There it is.

Are you nervous?

- No. Well, maybe.

So was I the first time.

You get used to it.

Pull up pass the joint.

Keep it in gear.

Relax.

Stay where you are.

Get over there and drop that rag.

Look who's here, Jesse James.

- Button it up!

Do what he says, Joey!

Are you just as tough with an old couple

when you ain't got that gun?

Shut up.

- Joey, Joey!

He's lucky I didn't kill him!

What about that guy that came in?

Any trouble?

No. I told you, didn't I?

Never have any trouble.

How did you do?

Judy!

Judy?

Honey?

Judy?

Hello, Mr. Yaeger. Is Judy here?

- Yeah.

We're all watching television.

Come in.

No thanks, tell Judy that

that I want her, will you?

Get out of my way, varmint!

Nobody ever called me varmint and lived!

Mrs. Tyler, your husband wants

to see you.

They're heading up by Cactus Creek!

Tommy, put on your jacket.

- It's not finished!

Come on, put on your jacket.

Good night, everybody.

Gee wiz, Mom!

Why do we have to leave now?

Can I stay a little longer, Pop?

The picture is almost over.

Did you get my note? I didn't know

what time... - That's alright, honey.

Very soon we will have

our own TV.

Howard, you got a job!

Isn't that wonderful!

Tell me. Is it a good one?

- What do you think?

I got an advance on my salary.

Don't you want it?

Tell me about it, Howard.

Well, talk about luck.

I happened to run into this guy...

He's a foreman at the

Santa Sierra Cannery.

He said I can use a guy like you on

the night shift! $50 a week to start!

Oh, you'll be working nights.

- What's the difference?

How about something to eat?

- Oh, baked ham! It's so expensive!

So what? We've got the right to

live a little too!

Oh boy, potato chips!

Son, you still want that two-wheeler?

- And a television too?

When your old man says something

he means it! Don't forget that!

Howard, have you been drinking?

Well, just a couple.

This fellow and me kind of celebrated.

Tommy, wash your hands first.

Alright. They're not so dirty.

We'll put the TV set right here.
