Look, Fabrini, those apples have gotta
be delivered to the market tonight.
- That ain't wood you're hauling.
- Okay, I'll get the apples in...
...but send me some of that 300 bucks
you owe me so I can get a new wheel.
Yeah, wire it to me, right here.
Well, I ain't got much
cash right now, Joe.
All right, all right, don't get excited.
I'll see what I can do.
think they are, anyhow?
I've thrown more business their way
than any freight agent in town...
...and I ain't sending money.
- The apples won't get to L.A.
They will if somebody else hauls them.
Who's up there near Lansdale?
Hank Dawson. He's due there
and we don't owe him much money.
You get him on the phone
and tell him to pick up Fabrini's load.
Those Fabrinis are tough babies.
They only think they're tough.
Say, is Farnsworth still outside?
- He was a minute ago.
- Tell that loan shark I wanna see him.
But you fellas don't understand.
Everything I do is within the law.
All I can say is,
we need a lot of new laws.
Hey, the boss wants to talk to you.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Bye-bye, buzzard.
What's the matter with the man?
Tell me, Farnsworth, do the Fabrinis
owe you any dough on that truck?
I've been trying to catch them.
They're behind three payments,
plus my interest.
I know all about your interest.
Would you like to repossess the truck?
- Yeah, certainly.
- Here's your chance.
They're stuck with a busted wheel
near Barney's Caf on 99.
- Get a tow car and haul in the rig.
- Thanks. I'll do you a favor sometime.
Just don't lend me any money.
That's all I ask of you.
You know what happened?
The guy had an iron...
- What are you doing here?
- I got blisters waiting...
...so I hitched to Lansdale
and got a secondhand wheel.
Told the guy I'd get the dough.
- What about the load?
- Got a kid watching it.
- How'd you make out with Williams?
- I'm still waiting for the dough.
Why do we stay in this racket?
We aren't gonna make enough
to buy ourselves decent coffins.
Stop crabbing. I got enough worries.
Get that into you.
All right, that's enough
of the x-ray treatment.
Don't get me wrong, sister.
All you make me think about is how
much I'd like to be with my wife.
First time I've ever heard that one.
- I ain't got a wife.
- That's not hard to understand.
If any of you guys owe on your trucks,
you better fade.
Farnsworth's coming.
- Where's Fabrini?
- With Byrd, at the South Pole.
Fishing with the president.
I heard he was playing left end
for Notre Dame.
It ain't nothing personal.
He bought a truck and he's gotta pay.
Why?
Everything on that pile
