- Just watch the road for bumps.

Stop the truck!

Let's get outta here! Stop!

Sit down! The only chance we've got

is to keep moving.

Hey! They got us blocked!

You drive!

Vamonos!

This joint's dull.

I know a place down the street

where we can have a lot of fun.

Hello.

Well! Where'd you come from?

I heard you got shot.

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Pay me.

Oh, yes. $800, wasn't it?

I don't have it on me,

but I'll go to the bank first thing.

- Emilio?

- Yes, Mr Jackson?

Fix up my friend with anything

he wants. Put it on my bill.

- OK?

- But...

- Now, where were we?

- What was it he did for you?

- He ran a load of nitro. Why?

- That's pretty dangerous, isn't it?

- A man can get killed.

- Then he ought to get paid.

He will. What's the matter

with you?

You might ask him why

he has those boat tickets.

- What boat?

- Oh, I...

And you might also enquire

about the $2,500 in his wallet.

- You little...!

- Let's see the wallet.

- I don't have $2,500.

- Let's see the wallet.

She's lying! I'll show you.

There's nothing in that wallet.

When your boyfriend wakes up,

he can pay the check.

Women! All they give me

is trouble.

He's my pal. He can lick

anybody, except me.

Come on. Up!

Hey, Mr Jackson!

What do you know! 2,500 bucks!

"Haven't got a cent on me" he says.

"Have to go to the bank tomorrow. "

One ticket on the boat that leaves

tomorrow at nine.

- One ticket?

- That's all there is.

That no good so-and-so!

Hit him again for me.

Hold this under his nose.

That'll bring him to.

- What'll you have?

- A polite thank you.

You've got it.

Why did you do it?

I've been made a chump of myself.

I hate to see it happen to anybody else.

- How'd you get stuck in this place?

- You wouldn't believe it.

A couple of days ago, I was on

a big yacht. Twelve in the crew.

- Just you and the crew?

- There was an owner.

- Let's hear about him.

- And his older sister.

When we docked here,

he wanted to send his sister home,

but I couldn't break up the family.

- So, I came ashore.

- You expect me to swallow that?

- You don't believe anything!

- Here.

You've got the wrong idea.

That won't buy you anything.

I don't have to buy anything.

But you need a ticket out of here.

I usually get there,

one way or another.

Try it with a ticket this time.

Excuse me.

I'm Inspector Ramirez.

I believe you took some money

from this man.

He owed it to me.

These gentlemen

are creditors of Mr Jackson.

Excuse the trouble,

but you have to give me back $800.

I almost got killed earning

that 800 bucks.

My partner's in the hospital

with a bullet wound.

I am very sorry.

The money, please.

- Can't we split the difference?
