Thieves Like Us Page #3

You hear something?

Now what the hell?

They said three blinks.

I can't tell if that's going on

or off, or what it's doing.

I can't tell who that is.

Damn, I hate to let him go by.

Looks like another hungry night.

It's okay. I can rig myself up for anything.

Come on down here. Come on.

You and me are gonna

spend the night together.

You get to be my blanket. Come here.

Come on.

Oh, I'm sorry.

If them boys ain't back by daybreak,

though, I just got to go on in.

I can't help it.

I'm gonna go dingbatty waiting out here.

Hey, maybe you and me go in together.

Get us both something to eat.

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING)

You see a snake, you let me know.

I don't like snakes.

(TRAIN APPROACHING)

(ROOSTER CROWING)

Howdy, friend.

What the hell did I do with them pliers?

Here.

I see you're working on your headlamp.

Listen, you got a cold Coke?

Over there in that box.

It'll cost you a nickel.

Yeah, well, thanks,

but I had one this morning.

You're Dee Mobley, ain't you?

Mmm-hmm.

Well, look, have you had

a couple of visitors here lately?

Them's new shoes. Your feet hurting you?

Doggone whistling.

One of them is, anyway.

Yeah. Got new pants on, too.

Yeah. I just got these uptown.

Where the hell you been?

Waiting for Chicamaw

and that T-Dub Masefield.

Well, I come driving

out there myself last night to get you.

Yeah. I recognize the truck now.

Yeah, it was me. That was me.

Can you beat that?

And I just let you go right on by.

Well, boys are up them steps there.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hey, Chicamaw, is that you?

Of course it ain't me. I'm here.

Chicamaw.

Where the hell you been, Bowie?

We thought you'd gone back to the farm.

I've just been sleeping under a train is all,

and thinking I was a lone wolf.

Where's that old T-Dub?

T- DUB:
Hey, hey, Bowie, come on in here.

I was gonna go back out there

and get you myself tonight.

Yeah. You wanna glom?

- Man, I'll say.

- Good.

You know,

we didn't get holed up in this place

till about 5:
00 this morning,

so I was gonna go back out

and pick you up tonight.

I don't know how the hell Dee missed you.

It was my own fault.

How's that?

Well, one of the headlamps

on that truck was shorted or something.

That thing blinked 50 times

if it blinked once.

I couldn't tell what was happening.

- How's your head?

- What are you talking about?

What's the matter with your head?

Well, look at his hair.

What's the matter with my hair?

He put some toilet water on his hair,

and the seat fell down,

hit him right in the head.

You guys are about half-crocked.

The seat fell down.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Here's you some Picayunes.

We're all out of Twenty Grands.

(WHISPERING) Damn it.
