PILAR:
(Mutters)
He's going to wish he was dead.
EXT. STREET -- DAY -- CU VAQUERO PICTURE
On the door of a deluxe pickup truck is an airbrushed picture
of a Pancho Villa-looking vaquero with bandoliers crossing
his chest and a gun blazing in each hand. We hear LOUD MUSIC --
AMADO (O.S.)
Luis! Give me that Phillips-head
back--
WIDER:
A small group of teenage Chicano BOYS hang around the truck
in the bed, on the hood, leaning against it. A BOOMBOX placed
on top of the cab blasts RANCHA MUSIC out at the neighborhood.
Somebody's legs are hanging out the open passenger-side door.
The kids suddenly look as a Sheriff's Department car slides
into the f.g. A Deputy Sheriff, TRAVIS, gets out
KIDS:
Trying to look tough and unworried as we TRACK across the
street toward them. Travis's hand reaches out from behind
the camera to flick the MUSIC OFF.
INT. PICKUP
Amado CRUZ, Pilar's 15-year-old son, lies on the front seat
installing a compact disc player into the dash slot.
He reaches up to the dash, can't find what he wants
AMADO:
Somebody hand me the CD player--
damelo pendejos--
He looks up and we TILT to see Travis leaning in the window,
examining the new radio
TRAVIS:
They come a long way from those
old 8-track jobs, haven't they?
AMADO:
Something wrong?
TRAVIS:
(Waves radio)
This is stolen property. Alla
you fellas are coming down to the
station.
INT. CAFE SANTA BARBARA -- AFTERNOON -- ENRIQUE
Sweat beads the forehead of a thin, tired-looking recent
immigrant, ENRIQUE, as he delivers platters of chile rellenos
to a booth. MEXICAN MUSIC plays on a jukebox in the b.g.
We HOLD on the booth, where HOLLIS POGUE, in his 60s
entertains two GOOD OLD BOYS--
HOLLIS:
So Buddy walks up to the porch
and there's old Fishbait McHenry,
cleanin' the dirt out his toenails
with a pocketknife--he was the
most hygienic of all the McHenrys--
The breakfast companions are laughing already--
HOLLIS:
"Fishbait," says Buddy, in that
quiet way of his, "what you know
about them tires that went missing
from markets?" Fishbait thinks
for a minute, then he lifts up a
loose board from the porch floor
and calls down into it, "C'mon
out, Pooter, they caught us!"
FENTON:
(Laughing)
Buddy Deeds. He had a way.
HOLLIS:
He known who it was onnaconna the
tire tracks in the dirt from the
back of the garage to where they
loaded up. "Old Fishbait," he
says, "never lifted a thing in
this world if there was a way he
could roll it."
More laughter--
FENTON:
Won't be another like him. That
boy of his doesn't come near it.
You ask me, he's all hat and no
cattle
SAM (O.S.)
Fellas--
We WIDEN to see Sam standing by their booth. No telling how
long he's been listening, Fenton is embarrassed.
