Eddie Macon's Run Page #3

---

Ah, Mr. Hebert.

Hey Eddie

Come on in. Thank you.

Ah, what can I do for you?

Well there seems to be some

kind of mistake on my pay voucher.

There is a S200 loan deduction.

Yeah.

Well you see I I don't have a loan.

Well, that's just a bookkeeping thing.

Excuse me. That's our

commission arrangement, Eddie.

It's 200 for the first week

and a hundred a week after that.

What for?

To work here.

S100 a week.

Oh that's just for the first 6 months.

That goes down to 50 after that

Well, I can't do that.

Can't do what?

I cannot afford to give up S100 a week.

Well, there is the door, boy.

Yes, Mr. Hebert, I...

I just moved my wife and son up from Florida.

And my little boys got this blood disease

and I was kind of saving up to buy this boat.

Eddie, we've all got problems.

Mr. Hebert, I just cannot do this.

I don't give a sh*t about

your boat or your wife...

or your little boys blood disease

so why don't you just...

S100 a week.

Oh sh*t.

Pull over to the side.

You want to get out of the car son.

Just leave the beer bottle on the seat.

Sure.

Hands up on top of the car.

Now that stunt that you pulled

at the packline office.

is going to get your ass hung out to dry.

That was a mistake, I am sorry.

Only half as sorry as you wanna be.

Wait a minute, what are you trying...

We're gonna call that resisting arrest.

Not to mention.

Drunk driving.

You're gonna do some time boy.

Wrong folks to fool with.

Edward Macon, you pleaded

guilty to the charges of

felonious assault,

driving while intoxicated,

and assaulting an officer of the law.

Now perhaps you believe that a plea of guilty

will automatically buy you a light sentence.

Well I believe that we've had our fill

of that sort of bartering with Justice.

I hereby sentence you to the state penitentiary

for a period of not less than 5 years.

Thanks very much. My pleasure.

Is there anything else you need?

Yes actually.

I'm going to be leaving in the morning but I would like

to keep my room for my husband until day after tomorrow.

The room number?

And I'll pay for it in advance.

Very good Mrs?

Lansing

Mrs. Edward Lansing.

You still miss New York don't you?

Jersey.

New Jersey.

Beautiful Bayonne.

I loved it.

If you loved it so much why'd you leave?

It wasn't exactly my idea.

They do run you out of town?

Just off the force.

You really killed some kid?

All that little angel did was put

seven old ladies in the hospital.

They should have given me a promotion.

ah, forget it.

So.

What's the special occasion

you're buying me dinner?

Brian.

Okay.

What can I do for you?

It's about that Macon kid

who skipped yesterday.

What about him?

See that?

I owe him one.
