And Starring Pancho Villa As Himself Page #2

Come on.

He wants to know why the movies

sent him such a clown.

He wants to know was Charlie Chaplin

too busy to show up down here?

- He wants to know...

- Griffith wanted to come. He truly did.

Only, he's kind of involved right now.

And this guy's

just f***ing around down here, right?

He says he don't trust nobody

who don't look him straight in the eye.

I was told that he would kill a man

for doing that.

That's a pile of crap. They don't stop

telling stories about this guy.

- What's that all over your tie?

- It's my school emblem.

My college's.

To which college do you go?

Did, sir. Harvard in Boston.

S. That's the school

where you make presidents. S?

A few have attended, yes, sir.

One day...

Pancho Villa will send his son

to Boston, Harvard.

He says he's knocked out enough sons

to fill every college in America.

Is that the gold?

Cash would have been a whole lot lighter,

I can assure you.

The last person who tried to give him cash,

Pancho cleaned up his glasses with a bullet.

- Your contrato?

- Yes, sir. It's right here, sir.

Those are the glasses.

One for you, one for me.

Those actresses you work with,

they're like nurses, right?

They got to have it all the time, don't they?

I'm not sure that's really true.

Yeah, right. Like you're not

jazzing your brains out, are you?

What?

What's this 10% of the profits bullshit?

His cut's supposed to be 20% .

You lie to Pancho Villa,

you go back to Harvard in a box!

Sir, that is a mistake. Somebody must have

changed the figures before I had a chance...

It's just my pen.

El plumo, or whatever you call it.

Let me change all these 10s here

into 20s, okay?

Here we are. Fixed.

See, you gotta understand.

He needs the money.

With Wilson's goddamn embargo...

you gotta go the black-market route

to get guns.

It costs an arm and a leg

to kill somebody down here.

No, please.

This pen has gone to college.

It's for your son. Any of your sons.

But your Seor Hearst...

he only writes bad words about Pancho Villa

in sus peridicos.

In his newspapers.

People, I think...

they believe more what they see

on the picture screen.

When your President Wilson

sees my movie...

he will know he must support Pancho Villa.

He will see that Pancho Villa is a good guy.

That he's not like Presidente Huerta.

- That donkey f***er.

- Yeah, got it.

I hope he's not gonna be offended.

I'm not much of a drinker.

Don't worry about it.

He never touches the stuff.

You are Frank.

- That's your name?

- Frank Thayer, yes, sir.

Pancho is also Frank. Pancho is Francisco.

That's his real moniker.

Tell me, what would you like,

Francisco Two?

Lemon, vanilla.

Thank you.
