Ride the Pink Horse Page #5

Synopsis: In the bordertown of San Pablo, preparing for an annual 'Mexican Fiesta,' arrives Gagin: tough, mysterious and laconic. His mission: to find the equally mysterious Frank Hugo, evidently for revenge; or is it blackmail? FBI agent Retz is also after the elusive Hugo. Everyone in town is enigmatic, especially Pila, a mystical teenager who follows Gagin around and has premonitions of his death. Also involved are a classic femme fatale and an antique carousel with a pink horse...

Which one?

Try the pink one.

Okay, Sitting Bull

Why don't you give us

a war whoop?

You know...

That's all.

Diez centavos, ten cents,

one ride.

Ishtam, the good goddess.

What's she good for?

To keep away death.

Very fine charm.

I got a better charm.

Soldier gun.

Why?

Best charm in the world.

Keeps away the bogeyman.

Someone is here.

What?

Someone is here.

Who's here?

Someone is hiding out there.

Gagin?

Yeah.

Sorry to wake you up

but I got to thinking

maybe we ought to have

a little talk.

We had a talk, Uncle Sam.

Sure, but another one.

I got a couple of new ideas.

Oh...

Go on, beat it, Scrambo.

Go on over there,

way over there.

I told you I didn't want you

removing Mr. Hugo from the scene

but I'm not worrying

about that anymore

not the way

you're handling it.

Walking in here

and telling him

Shorty's pal is looking for him!

Playing it tough, huh?

They've got a couple of bad boys

out looking for you.

This interest you?

Yeah...kind of.

Those mugs that

Mr. Locke put on you

will be arount to

the Three Violetas.

They'll find out

the same lead I did.

What time does it open?

Around 9:
00.

I got an extra bed in my room.

You'll be a little more

comfortable there.

No.

I'll stay here.

Kind of figured

I was wasting my time.

Hey, Retz.

Yeah?

Thanks.

Don't mention it.

Say, fine beautiful morning, mi amigo.

How you feel?

Fine.

How you sleep in Pancho's palace?

Like a baby, eh?

Yeah, like a baby.

Where'd you get this razor?

It's a very fine razor.

I shaved with it myself once.

What time is it?

About ten minutes past 7:00.

I have a fine deam last night.

I dream all my horses is alive

and we all riding on desert

for hunting lions.

And I am young again.

Service, eh?

Where you get that new bucket?

I find it.

That's very fine bucket.

Is sign of good luck

when you find new bucket.

Yeah?

I got a looking glass, small one.

I don't need it.

I'm all through.

Why do you have to look like that?

Lile what?

Like you come out of a sideshow.

What's a sideshow?

Place where they keep freaks.

I look like a freak?

You look like zip-what-is-it?

Why do I look like that?

Well, I don't know.

Maybe it's the dress.

This is my granmother's dress.

She gave it to me when

I come to the fiesta.

I never had a dress

so nice as this.

Well, it might be all right

if you took some

of them spangles off.

I take them off.

You might also comb your hair.

My hair?

Is not right?

All right for mice to sleep in.

Give me my coat.

Here.

Go get yourself

a permanent wave or something.

Maybe a manicure, huh?

No, I can't take the money.

Why not?

Is too much.

You can count, that's something, huh?
