Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye Page #3

before today.

Well, it takes

only once, you know.

As it stands,

the police would love

to get their hands on

whoever shot that guard.

And now, would one

fugitive from justice

care to fix another

fugitive from justice...

a sandwich?

Will you go if I do?

Fix it, and we'll see.

Tell me, where can I

get in touch with Jinx?

Shop's in the phone book.

Ace Radio Repair. Why?

We got to do

a little business.

Get you out of hock.

No, thanks.

I wouldn't like the way

you'd get the money.

I'll pay it off

myself when I can.

Oh, it won't work out that way.

You see,

you owe Mason something;

I owe you something.

After all, you did get me

off that prison farm

and I like to pay

my debts, too.

You don't owe me anything.

If I could have one wish

in my life come true

I'd wish today

had never happened.

The fact remains...

ithashappened.

You, uh... you assisted

in a prison break

which makes you

just as much of a criminal

as the people you helped.

Now, you can keep

that holier-than-thou attitude

as long as you like

but, uh, right now

I would say

there must be, oh,

13,000 policemen in this state

who would love to put you away

for a long, long time.

Now, I'd bear that in mind

if I were you...

and act accordingly.

Now, what do you make

of this stuff

they're saying

about your brother?

That he was

a mad-dog killer?

It's a lie!

He wasn't!

They never are.

He was railroaded.

They framed him.

I suppose your brother never

did anything wrong in his life.

He was wild, yes

and he did a lot

of silly things

but he never

killed anybody.

Well, maybe you're right.

After all,

he quit cold on me.

He wouldn't have been hit

if he hadn't stopped.

Yeah, maybe hewasinnocent.

He certainly didn't act

like a killer.

Of course,

he was innocent!

Nobody knew him any

better than I did.

Why do you think

I tried to help him break out?

I've never done anything wrong

like that before in my life.

I'll tell you why.

Because he was going

crazy up there.

He knew he'd been framed

and he was just sitting

there, brooding about it

month after month.

If it had gone

on much longer

he'd have ended up

in an insane asylum.

I couldn't stand to

look into his face

when I'd go up there

and visit him.

Don't you see?

I had to try and

help him break out

even if it

meant that I...

Okay, all right,

all right, all right.

He was innocent.

Innocent as a newborn babe.

Go ahead, be jealous.

Be jealous

because you're a...

a criminal,

and he wasn't!

Jealous?

Jealous of that popcorn thief?

That yellow pup?

No! No! No!

Oh, Ralph, please, please!

Oh, I'm sorry,

I'm sorry...

...but he's all I had!

And I haven't got anybody.
