Any Which Way You Can Page #4

---

I'm kind of new to this physical stuff.

You're doing real good.

Thanks.

The doc said I had to get some exercise.

All I do is sit behind a desk all day.

You sit behind it, or you carry it around?

Well, I play a little squash sometimes.

- You look like you do some lifting.

- A little.

- Mostly engine blocks.

- That'll do the job.

- Careful of that soft shoulder, there.

- It's a hell of a drop.

You got a pretty good grip for a new guy.

There's a lot of strength in fear.

- Believe I owe you.

- I believe you do.

- You can't do this fight.

- Why not?

I've been checking with some people

and I found out who Jack Wilson is.

Look, the fight will get us a new truck,

a new roof, and a few extras for Ma.

- He killed two men last year.

- One.

The other one's lying someplace with

nothing below the neck but memories.

I told them I was going to do it.

I know I don't have much influence

with you anymore...

...since you got a girlfriend.

But damn it, Philo, you can't do this!

Well, I'm going to do it.

Don't go telling Lynn about Wilson now,

you hear?

Damn.

Move over, Clyde.

Looks like both of us are getting aced.

- A friend of yours?

- Yeah.

Nice voice. Nice style.

I think so.

Why don't you get somebody who can sing

around here?

- That's not polite.

- Forget it.

The complaint department

is open now, sonny.

- You play a hell of a game of squash.

- So do you.

- I believe that makes us even.

- I believe it does.

Find out what you want to know?

Yeah, I did.

You're fast and you like pain.

You eat it like candy.

I've seen a few cases like that in my time.

The more they get hurt,

the more dangerous they become.

But you got to be durable, too.

Real durable.

Most ain't.

You're right. Most ain't.

Let's call this fight off.

There's no point to it.

I ain't doing it for points.

You're good, but you're not good enough.

I don't want to hurt you,

and that's the truth.

Sometimes we can't always do

what we want to do. Right?

Your money's no good here.

Thank you.

- Pleasure watching you work.

- Same here.

Who was that?

That was a friend of mine.

We used to play squash sometimes.

I don't want you to fight.

You, too? I thought you weren't

supposed to say anything to her.

I thought she would have more influence.

Don't do it, Philo.

- I'm doing it, and that's the end of it.

- But he kills people.

The subject ain't open for discussion.

Go ahead, get yourself killed,

you selfish lunkhead.

Better still.

Let him scramble your brains

and turn you into a turnip...

...so I can spend the next 20 years

watering you.

You, too?

All right. Clyde, go get the money.

Go ahead.

Orville.
