Joe!

All right, fella, you've run out of money.

Mr. Hawks.

- What do you want?

- I want...

- What do you want to drink?

- Beer.

Hey!

- Where's my drink?

- All right.

That's not very neat, is...

It's okay.

- You'd better get out of here.

- How come?

You're the one who followed Kate

this morning.

- It's a free country, isn't it?

- It's a free country.

Only, Joe said if I saw you again,

I was supposed to tell him.

You can tell him if you want to.

You're just a kid, ain't you?

- I'm older than you are.

- Yeah, sure, but that isn't...

- Hey!

- All right.

Kid, please...

you oughtn't to go around

throwing stones and things.

That isn't nice. And drinking beer.

There's Joe.

Look, kid, please go.

You don't want to get yourself hurt.

You could tell him now, if you want to.

There's your chance.

You sure have got a nerve, haven't you?

- Do you know Kate?

- This is Kate's place.

- She's treating you okay?

- Sure.

I gotta go now, kid.

Is she nice?

Don't let Joe see you, please.

She doesn't treat you rough

or anything, does she?

Please, kid, I gotta go now.

It was nice meeting you.

Isn't there anything nice about her at all?

What's the matter, kid?

- She had pretty hands. Did you see them?

- Hands?

Did you look at them?

No, I don't think I ever saw them.

She always wears gloves.

Where is she?

- You mean now?

- Yeah.

- Back in her office, probably.

- Where's that?

Back that way.

Will you show me?

Look, kid, please don't start any trouble.

I'm not gonna start any trouble. Come on.

We... You can just point the door to me,

and I'll go there.

No, honest.

This is a tough place. I can't lose this job.

- I'm not very good at it, anyway.

- You won't lose it.

If I step out of line

Kate will throw me out on my ear.

Come on, will you?

You can just show me where the door is.

Come on.

Be a sport.

Come on.

There's the door.

Thank you. You can go back now.

What are you gonna do?

Please, kid, don't make any trouble.

I'm not gonna make any trouble.

I'm gonna wait till you're gone. Okay?

Will you let me talk to you? Please.

I gotta talk to you.

Joe!

Get out of here! Joe! Tex!

Call the sheriff! Get him out!

Call the sheriff! Get him out of here!

I want to talk to her!

I want to talk to you!

Please, talk to me!

Talk to me, please! Mother!

Is there any law against a guy

trying to see his own mother?

No, I guess there isn't.

Here.

Put this on your cheek. Here.

Drink some coffee.

How did you find out about Kate, anyway?

That guy I saw you talking to

in the bar the other night?

The one they call "Rabbit."

I thought so. He never was any good.

I remember when he used
