What's funny about it?

The dames I mean...

they were nothing like you!

You smell like an animal.

- And you act like one.

- And you love it.

Like I always say, it's always

darkest just before the dawn.

You got to have faith.

We was both starving. I bump into

an old pal and you bump into me.

Eat something, honey.

You been pampering

that ulcer long enough.

- That's my first dr...

- Go to bed.

I need you sober tomorrow.

OK.

Can I finish my dinner,

or do I have to go to bed, too?

Jeff, meet this nice little girl.

I bought her dinner.

- She's from my home town.

- Mmm-hmm?

We've met. For a few seconds once,

we were even married.

Huh? I don't get it.

I'd better finish my drink.

When that hot sun hits you tomorrow,

you'll explode before the nitro.

Nitro? Ain't Paco

going to give us a job?

- Don't ask questions.

- OK.

When you get back to Tulsa,

look up my Aunt Martha.

Tell her what a big oil man I am.

Hey, mister...

If you ever get to Tulsa,

look up my parents.

If you think I'm lying,

I'll give you their address.

I hope you get there

before I do.

If you don't mind,

I'll finish my dinner.

Easy, now.

Easy, boys, easy.

Just easy. That's it.

Make sure all them lines

are good and tight.

You wouldn't like to buy a fella

a nice cold bottle of beer?

No, I guess you wouldn't.

- How's it look?

- It's got some springs, anyhow.

Are those containers full to the brim?

I don't want it slopping around.

- Right to the brim.

- Double-check everything, Dutch.

I don't like to get near

to that stuff, but I'll do it.

Here's your permit

to transport explosives.

It'll get you by the police.

- And the bandits?

- For them... you got this.

You know what one bullet in that

box of nitro will do to your truck?

- I just rent it.

- You're renting me, too.

- When do I get paid?

- After you make the run.

Look, you can understand.

Supposing you get blown up

with the money on you.

It'll be a loss

to everybody - you, me.

Besides, you got no place

to spend it till you get back.

We're all set,

I'm sorry to say.

- I'll be seeing you.

- Sure.

Better get in, Dutch. I'll drive.

OK.

Jeff, start out real easy.

Take your fingers out of your ears.

If it goes, you won't hear it.

Huh?

Take it easy, Jeff, will you?

Oh, boy, it's sure hot!

Jeff, that stuff's ready

to boil over.

It'll be over in an hour,

one way or the other.

Don't say that!

It's my duty to tell you that

there are bandits around here.

That settles it.

We go back to town.

- You're stopping us from going on?

- No, but I advise you against it.

Thanks for the warning.

- How much further?

- We ought to be about on top of it.

- I don't see no rig.
