September third...
I can't believe
it's finally over,
the summer vacation
every girl dreams of...
sure... 17 national parks
in 28 days...
and all in the company
of her dad.
It's like being trapped
in a "father knows best" rerun,
except for this father
doesn't know anything.
I wish he'd get it
through his head
that tomorrow I turn 14, not 12.
Madeline's parents
took her to europe
and let her go to discos
every night.
My dad's idea of independence
is letting me
roast my own marshmallows,
which is a good idea
Anyway,
it'll all be over tonight...
tomorrow I'll be back with mom,
celebrating my birthday
and staying in my own room...
no more sleeping in bags,
thank God.
What's the problem?
Just...
there's gotta be
another gas station
around here somewhere.
Let's see, it's 36 Miles
to the next exit,
that's not gonna be any good.
What's this?
Banco.
10 or 12 Miles down there.
Open the door!
Hello!
Anybody here?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Put your hands
where I can see 'em.
Whoa!
Who are you with, man?!
Nobody, I just want some gas!
This is a gas station, isn't it?
Yeah, but I ain't got no gas.
I've got cash.
Hah! I don't care if you
got gold hub caps...
I said I ain't got
no gas, you dig?
The delivery's overdue...
Maybe tomorrow.
Where you headed, man?
Home, to Los Angeles.
Oh yeah?
Far out.
I did some time there.
That is, before
I got some intelligence.
Is she with you?
Yeah.
Look, can I use the phone?
I ain't got one,
try the mini-mart.
Will my car be all right?
Yeah, if I keep an
eye on it for you.
How much?
You see, that's it, man,
that's wrong with this world,
everything's about money.
I'll watch your car
for you for nothing.
All right, thank you.
Get ahold of yourself.
You say they took no money
out of the register?
You sure?
Are you all right, ma'am?
Now don't touch nothin',
there may be prints.
You lookin' for somethin'?
Yeah, I wanted to use the phone.
Is there some problem?
You got some I.D.?
My name is Charlie Cox, sheriff,
highways magazine, Los Angeles.
You're off your beat
a little, aren't you?
Please, we've just
run out of gas.
Try the trailer park
down the road...
Agnes Reed might sell you some.
She sells everything else.
She's got a phone there, anyway.
What happened?
Somebody came in here
and blew his brains out,
that's what happened...
most likely a drifter.
It happens out here, Charlie.
Hello?
Hello!
Who's there?
Hi, we'd like to
buy some gas, please.
I ain't got any.
Well, how about using a phone?
You got any money?
Yes, I've got money.
Can't be too careful.
It's okay, I'm calling collect.
Can I have a soda?
How much for two sodas?
A buck each.
Surprise, surprise.
Got any ice?
Another buck.
Is that per cube?
Ice is out there.
Hi, bill, how are you?
Good, good.
Listen, I'm not going to
get your article in tonight.
Hot out here...
is it always this hot?
Um-mmm.
Somewhere in Nevada.
No, it's really too much
to read over the phone.
Give me a break,
the troll that runs this place
is charging me by the second.
Joleen?
Joleen?
What's goin' on?
Nothin'.
Then get out of here!
Charming kid.
One of the neighbors?
Nah, he's mine.
Always threatening
to run away... never does.
Look, I have to get back to L.A.
by tonight.
your car runs on dirt.
I got a couple others
stranded here too.
I fixed 'em up real nice.
Camper, full view
of the pool, kitchen.
I got one more left.
How much?
