The Escape of Prisoner 614 Page #4

keys to the outpost.

Take munitions from there.

Your solution is to burgle?

No, my solution's not...

no one's gonna burgle.

Obviously return 'em once

this whole thing's over with.

- You see, legally, that's borrowing.

- [Thurman] Thank you.

How do you borrow bullets

that you took and shot?

That doesn't make sense.

- You can't...

- Sure, you can.

What are you gonna,

it's a used bullet.

Little IOUs, little IOUs.

We'll tally 'em out.

So then, it's not

a borrowing situation.

No, it's an IOU situation.

And you know what,

that's honorable.

People honor IOUs.

Our word is our bond

and I'm done arguing

about this with you.

Look at me.

Are you in or are you out?

Thurman, wait.

No, remind me one more time.

If we're not deputies,

then what the hell are we?

Oh, I hate to interject,

but that'll be $2.85

for the meatloaf and the shakes.

I beg your pardon?

$2 and 85 cents for the

meatloafs and the shakes,

plus a gratuity if you'd like.

Uh, Marla, it's always

been on the house.

Well, that was different.

You used to be deputies.

- I'm in.

- Uh-huh.

Marla, I'm gonna

have to owe you.

But we will pay.

[bell on door ringing]

[Thurman] All right,

here's the plan,

0800, begin pursuit of prisoner.

Yep.

1200, break for

lunch, which is?

- Sandwich platter.

- All right.

1300 hours, continue

pursuit of prisoner.

Now here's the part where

it gets a little bit fuzzy,

but I estimate that some time

between 1400 and 1600 hours,

we'll apprehend the prisoner,

set up camp for the night,

and head on back in the morning.

So, best guess, I'd say

everything'll be back to normal

by 1300 tomorrow,

which for my money,

can't come soon enough.

Now, what do we got for rations?

A lunch and dinner today,

breakfast tomorrow,

and assorted snacks

and refreshments.

All right, good.

Anything beyond that,

we'll just have to hunt

and kill ourselves.

Map.

Map. Map.

- Map.

- [Thurman] Yep.

The Slide Mountain wilderness

comprises 47,500 acres

and 16 peaks.

Marked foot trails provide

access to the remote interior,

traversing rocky summits

that are thick

with balsam forest,

home to a host of wildlife,

including black bears,

whitetail deer,

porcupine, and snowshoe hare.

The Burr-ohs Range,

made up of Slide, Cornell,

Wittenberg Mountains, is

named for famed naturalist,

John Burr-ohs.

- [Thurman] Burroughs.

- Burr-ohs.

Burroughs.

Burr-ohs.

Its imposing beauty

inspired him to write,

quote, "Here the works of

man dwindle," end quote.

A plaque commemorating

Burr-ohs, is permanently affixed

to the summit rock on the

Catskill's highest peak,

Slide Mountain.

We should visit that,

if we have time.

Which way then?
