completely put together.

Now, did you bring

a nail file?

Vernon, I don't have

the time to stand here

and play games with you.

It's gonna take

half the night

as it is.

Now, come on, let's go.

You forgot the night

we was in Tulsa,

we had

locked ourselves

out of the motel room.

Remember, I did that

little trick with the lock?

Ooh, Vernon,

aren't you the smart one?

(LOCK CLICKING)

There's no need to do that.

You know, Nadine, I'm way

ahead of you on this deal.

You always have been,

Vernon.

There ain't

no beauty supplies

in here, is there?

NADINE:
Not exactly.

And this place don't

belong to Vera, does it?

Uh-uh.

You know

what kind of trouble

that we can get in...

Shh!

(WHISPERING) You wanna wake up

everybody between here and

El Paso?

Do you

have the least idea

what could happen to us

if the owner walked in

and found us like this? Hmm?

I'm talkin'

breakin' and enterin'.

I'm talking three

to seven in Huntsville.

Not to mention

me losin' my

liquor license.

Don't worry. That ain't

gonna happen. I swear.

You want to explain

why you're so sure?

Well, if you have to know,

he's dead.

Dead?

You mean, dead dead?

Hey!

Hold on.

I don't know

what's goin' on here,

but I'm not gettin' mixed up.

VERNON:
Nadine,

we're gettin' out of here

right now and that's an order.

You comin'?

(FOOTSTEPS POUNDING)

Well, I'll visit you

in the jailhouse.

Adios.

(POLICE RADIO CHATTERING)

You know

what'd go down

real good right now?

A nice cold

bottle of beer.

You plannin' on us drivin' up

to a 7-Eleven in a police car

and askin'

the cashier

for a six-pack?

It just so happens

I hid a couple of

Lone Stars

up there in that

stiff's icebox.

You hold down the fort.

I'll be right back.

Hell, Cecil,

you're not as dumb

as the Captain said.

Nadine? I mean it now.

This is your last chance.

(PAPERS RUSTLING)

Forgive me.

(VERNON MUTTERING)

That woman is

dumb as a post.

I swear,

if she thinks

I'm goin' to prison

on account of some

dimwit idea of hers,

she's got

another thing comin'.

(CECIL WHISTLING)

VERNON:
...being around,

get her out of trouble,

there's no tellin'.

(DOORKNOB CLICKING)

Of course.

Nadine?

(SIGHS)

Damn it all,

will you let me in?

Nadine?

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Nadine, I mean it now.

I know you're in there.

I can hear you movin' around.

She don't

have the sense

that God gave a goose.

(SIGHS)

VERNON:
Wait a minute.

We break into the place

in the middle of the night.

The poor son of a b*tch

who owns it turns out

to be dead.

For all I know,

she probably

killed him herself.

Lord knows,

she's mean enough.

Officer,

am I glad to see you.

There's a very
