and there's all these

kangaroos standing around.

These wetbacks were smuggling

kangaroos in a Van into Mexico.

Come on, man.

Well, they shot first.

It's not what I'm saying. You

know what I'm talking about.

I'm serious.

You go down there,

you can still find kangaroos

if you know where to look.

Let me finish?

Okay, fine. Go ahead.

Just stop, please. Just stop

saying "wetbacks" altogether.

Oh, come on. "Wetbacks,"

"back scratches."

It don't matter to me, knowing

they swim over or crawl under.

Back when I got started,

it wasn't so PC.

It was either

"wets" or "Tonks."

And do you call your kids that?

What?

Do you call your kids

"wetbacks" and "Tonks"?

I mean, do you say it like, "hey,

Tonk, go to the bathroom,"

or, "come eat your food,

Tonk," or...

You watch it.

All right.

It's different. I'm talking

about bona fide criminals here.

All right, all right,

all right. Let's drop it.

No, no, no.

Come on, now.

How about that little kid

you was tracking earlier?

I mean, can we call

them "drug mules,"

or is that gonna offend

your delicate sensibilities?

No, of course. I mean, sure.

Yeah, they're mules.

But they're still

little boys underneath it.

Uh-uh, no, sir.

That all changed when

they picked up that AK,

decided to become soldiers, and

they will be treated as such.

Well, I just wanna know,

just for clarification,

just so we can get all

the terminology right,

do you want us to call you

an "a**hole" or a "douche"?

'Cause you're both of them,

and I wanna get it right.

"Mr. a**hole."

Mr. a**hole, got you.

You'll see.

I'm gonna get me some coffee.

Well, lookie here, my lucky day.

I'm gonna let

you boys handle this.

Careful what words you use now.

Hey, let me get this one.

I need a little wake-me-up.

I'm getting bored,

listening to hobbs' story.

Good afternoon, sir.

You a U.S. citizen?

I am.

Yeah?

Can you go ahead and turn your

car off, put it in park, please?

Go ahead and grab your

ID while you're at it.

Here you go.

Hang tight a minute.

All right.

This your vehicle?

Yes, sir.

Flores.

Yeah.

- For you.

- Who is it?

Someone asking for Lance.

Where are you heading?

Who has this number?

Beats me.

Good. Yeah.

Where are you coming from?

Down Terlingua.

Terlingua?

Where are you heading?

Alpine.

Alpine.

All right, well, you have

yourself a nice day, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Whoa, hold on, Davis.

Hobbs, I got it. I got it.

I already checked him out.

Where are you going?

Just heading home to alpine.

Where are you coming from?

Hobbs, I already checked...

Down Terlingua.

My cousin lives down there.

He was a little sick, so I was

just bringing him some groceries.
