Another drop or so will give

you, oh, an additional 10 hours.

Use more than six drops, call the undertaker.

I don't think he'll turn

us down, but if he does,

We want the body flown back to the states.

Alive or dead. It don't matter

which. Think you can manage?

Yes. You be in new york in four days.

Nephew, you got 96 little hours.

You better step over here with me...

And sit down,

Switch on that electronic

brain of yours and listen,

'Cause i'm only gonna give you the names

and numbers of all the players one time.

The whore is in a coastal village

between acapulco and zihuatanejo.

It's called papanoa.

A hundred dollars the fat one takes the lot.

Are you on?

If you have so much faith in her, why

don't i take her myself, mr. Janis?

Ah!

La sorda. Elepteria.

Listen! Blast gordita in the crotch!

In the cojones!

You hear?

Not a bad act, that.

I think i'll use it as a daily attraction.

Hey, gordita.

Take your pick. The fat one's fantastic.

She's yours for $15. You can

have any of the other two for 10.

The tillinger foundation

is planning an expedition.

Ah, bully for the tillinger foundation.

The business at hand is more important.

Thirty dollars says you can have them all.

The highwayman expects you.

Plus, magic mushrooms.

Now, let's make it-

Let's make it a sporting proposition, hmm?

I'll toss you double or nothing,

$60, or you can have

the whole batch for free.

I have a plane waiting.

Why should i do anything for the highwayman?

If it were sturdevant-

I'd go like a shot. But sturdevant's dead.

Oh, my god. Don't say they've got

you believing that whore's cry too.

Chappie, i know sturdevant.

He never would or ever

could take his own life.

Then where is he?

He's waiting, my boy.

Somewhere. Someplace.

He's waiting like a lion in a thicket.

You mark my words, chappie.

He'll come out when the time is right.

He's just waiting.

I've, uh, still got to take you back with me.

And i don't wish to go. I have a good

thing here, trading on human weakness.

I think i shall remain.

There's money involved.

A great deal of money.

$25,000 now

- No. Money can't budge me.

The whore of yesterday is dead.

Plus $100,000 on checking in

to the tillinger foundation.

125,000, eh?

It's too bad the whore of yesterday is dead.

Uh, chappie,

You just witnessed a resurrection.

Well

- Uh, no. Waiter.

No, no. We-

We've got- Oh!

Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.

Greetings.

To the warlock from the tillinger foundation.

Greetings. The highwayman

wants you in new york.

When? Now.

Is he planning an expedition? Yes.

My hands are gone.

I'm as worthless as an

oyster for what you need.

I've waited long enough for a job like this.

John Huston

John Marcellus Huston (; August 5, 1906 – August 28, 1987) was an Irish-American film director, screenwriter and actor. Huston was a citizen of the United States by birth but renounced U.S. citizenship to become an Irish citizen and resident. He returned to reside in the United States where he died. He wrote the screenplays for most of the 37 feature films he directed, many of which are today considered classics: The Maltese Falcon (1941), The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), The Asphalt Jungle (1950), The African Queen (1951), The Misfits (1961), Fat City (1972) and The Man Who Would Be King (1975). During his 46-year career, Huston received 15 Oscar nominations, won twice, and directed both his father, Walter Huston, and daughter, Anjelica Huston, to Oscar wins in different films. Huston was known to direct with the vision of an artist, having studied and worked as a fine art painter in Paris in his early years. He continued to explore the visual aspects of his films throughout his career, sketching each scene on paper beforehand, then carefully framing his characters during the shooting. While most directors rely on post-production editing to shape their final work, Huston instead created his films while they were being shot, making them both more economical and cerebral, with little editing needed. Most of Huston's films were adaptations of important novels, often depicting a "heroic quest," as in Moby Dick, or The Red Badge of Courage. In many films, different groups of people, while struggling toward a common goal, would become doomed, forming "destructive alliances," giving the films a dramatic and visual tension. Many of his films involved themes such as religion, meaning, truth, freedom, psychology, colonialism and war. Huston has been referred to as "a titan", "a rebel", and a "renaissance man" in the Hollywood film industry. Author Ian Freer describes him as "cinema's Ernest Hemingway"—a filmmaker who was "never afraid to tackle tough issues head on." more…
