and I was looking

forward a little bit

to see them, you know.

And they look forward to you.

You will be

wise to take, se0r,

the road that

Ramos shows you.

Do not go to Cocatlan,

se0r.

Go back to your home.

Go back to Ojo Prieto,

gring0.

When I woke up from siesta,

that pig, Lazaro,

was sitting on my bed.

It does not matter to you?

Did he harm you?

I run to Manuela's room.

Amig0, you are getting old.

I remember when your legs

were faster than a woman's.

When your arms

were strong enough

to break down a door.

You sent him.

You are the pig.

S, I sent him.

And next time I will tell him

not to stop.

Next time I will tell him

to bring these two along.

Next time?

S.

Next time you think

to run away from Chuy Medina

in Ojo Prieto, or anywhere.

Put that light out.

Put out that damn light.

If you holler once,

I'm gonna blow your arms off.

Who are you?

I'm looking for a horse

with spots on his rump.

Remember?

Come out of there.

Come the hell out of there.

Move over there.

Sit down.

Now you're going

down them stairs

and mount up.

You're gonna walk my horse

out of town real slow

and I'm gonna be behind you,

staring at your spine

in case you just don't

twitch the right way.

I am not permitted

to ride alone.

Chuy knows I

would never come back.

I can get a lady

to tell me lies

better than that one,

only costs me

a dollar and a half.

I am telling you the truth.

They will stop me

and find you.

Maybe.

But you cost me that horse

and you're gonna

get it back for me.

I am sorry for

what happened in Ojo Prieto.

I know you

do not believe that.

But you must believe

that if I do as you ask,

you will die.

Please, go.

Trini!

I must go.

If I do not go down,

they will come up.

They will kill you.

Trini!

We have been waiting for you.

You gringos take

so much trouble

to go somewhere,

and then you are in

such a hurry to leave.

Come in.

Have a drink with us.

Come. Venga.

You like my cantina?

Mi casa es su casa.

Tequila.

Amig0, forgive me,

you always did

prefer the cognac, no?

I don't mind.

Sit down.

Wouldn't hurt if I

took my hat off, would it?

Make yourself comfortable.

Salud.

Cigarr0?

I don't believe so.

I've got my own smokes.

The last time I

see you, se0r,

you were very drunk.

Do you remember?

I remember taking a cold bath

and getting

hung up to dry like

a pair of

stinking old underwear.

You have humor.

It is very good.

Our lives would be

very sad without it.

Another drink, se0r.

You don't want to

see me drunk again,

do you?

No.

I just think that

maybe now

you are afraid

to be in Cocatlan.

Hmm?

A little bit?

Yeah. A little bit.

Buen0.
