But I think you'd like

to be a winner.

And you're gonna

show me the way, huh?

Unless, of course, you turn into

a complete a**hole first.

Let's move.

[Crickets Chirping ]

[ Dog Barking ]

I just wanna talk.

We need you.

You're valuable.

I already gave you guys an answer.

[Gun C*cks]

We don't like that answer.

Be friendly.

Do things our way.

Go ahead and pull the trigger.

You- You do anything else,

I'll come back.

I'll kill you.

I'm just trying to do my job.

So am I.

Go home.

I just wanted to talk.

You did.

[Train Whistle Blows In Distance]

[ Speakers:
Man Singing Country]

[Telephone Ringing ]

Let's talk, okay?

Go ahead.

I'm having a very big

problem with your boy.

He's not too thrilled

in working with us.

I can understand that.

Look, I don't know what to do. I'm

doing the best I can, you know?

You know what to do.

You just did it.

You came in here

and asked me to save your ass.

That's what I'm gonna do-

save your ass.

[ Knocking ]

[Chuckles] Guess I can't

leave you alone, can I?

Guess I'm just

a real friendly guy.

A friend of yours told me where I could

find you in the middle of the day.

I don't have any friends.

That's right.

No friends.

No steady job.

No girlfriend.

You live real cheap.

You don't ask any questions.

Boy, you got it down real tight.

So tight there's no room

for anything else.

That's a real sad song.

Only trouble is,

sad songs ain't selling this year.

Maybe I'm your friend.

Present.

I brought it for you.

Found it on the oorboard

of some Ford a cowboy boosted.

[ Chuckles ]

Go ahead, take it.

Save you the trouble

of making another one.

[ Chuckles ]

I really like chasing you.

Sounds like you got a problem.

Oh, ho.

I'm much better at this game

than you are.

You play against me, pal,

you're gonna lose.

You win, you make some money.

I win, you're gonna do 15 years.

How about it, driver?

[ Speakers:
Country]

My price has doubled.

Come on. Who do you think you're

dealing with? That's 30% of the take.

That's right. Special price because

I'm working with second-raters.

We'll make your deal.

I want him to say it.

Yeah.

One more thing.

You're not coming.

You don't give many choices,

do you, pal?

That's right.

It's a two-man job inside.

Uh, you'll get your cut later.

I don't like it.

That's the whole idea.

[ Sighs ] Boy, it's tough to

like that man, I tell you.

We got him.

He's doing the job.

Look,lgofia

tell you something.

It's very important

for you to get this.

Hold up your end of this deal.

'Cause if I should see any cops at all

in front of that bank- any at all-

there's gonna be

a lot of shooting going on.

Now listen to me!

I don't want any shooting.
