Coming to you live and direct from scene of the shooting.

Police have not yet made a statement, JJ.

But C-101 has learned they have a good description

of the assailants. All points bulletin is already an effect.

And an arrest is expected soon.

Thank you Ed Saunders. Back to you on the hour.

Before then if any other news breaks.

This is Jimmy J. Judge of the Texas Riviera.

You peel'em, we deal'em.

Where's your stuff?

I'll drive you anywhere you want.

That'll be great.

Okay! I'm ready!

Where you think you're going?

With you.

It's all right. I'll drive her back with me.

No way!

He pointed them out. Here.

This one.

This his sister.

Goddamn. I think I blew this one.

You're name wouldn't Hubie, would it?

Yes Sir, that'll be me. Hubie Pyatt.

Must be all shook up about what happened.

Oh, yes, sir. I guess I am.

Hey, Let's talk about something else.

Let's talk about... motor scooters.

But I love miniature golf.

Please can I stay with you?

Putter, you can do us more good back home.

Can be my eyes and ears.

Hey, you know you'll be interviewed on the radio?

What about TV?

Sure. Live and direct.

Really!

You guys be careful, ok?

Come on now. Move it!

If you don't let me out - I'm throwing up

all over the front seat!

Bye-Bye!

Oh!

I was part of it, Billie Jean. I was there too.

Would you hold it, you idiot! I'm not in the car.

Good morning, Corpus Christi!

It's another sizzler coming up!

This is Jimmy J. Judge, voice of the Texas Riviera.

Who's on Line 1?

This is Al.

What are they going to do about these kids-

Walk into a store and gun a man down?

We going to put them where they belong, Al.

You don't have worry about that.

I don't see them behind bars yet. If there is going

to be a man hunt, they better cover the whole state.

Why don't we go to Vermont?

They'll never find us there!

We don't have enough gas to get out of Corpus.

Then we'll steal it. We're outlaws!

No stealing.

We maybe the outlaws, but we're not the crooks.

I'm a hungry outlaw. Where's breakfast?

They got pancakes in Vermont.

Real maple syrup from a tree.

Stop thinking about your stomach!

Think about Mr. Pyatt. What if he's dead!

Putter, what are you doing?

Please mom never let's me buy anything.

We can't afford all that.

No we don't steal.

What's with them?

Beats me don't look at them.

Are you Billie Jean?

No. No, not me. Isn't that you?

That's from the yearbook!

She took the best picture in the class.

It's them!

It was an accident. We never robbed anybody.

I told you. Well, doesn't matter,

they're blaming you anyways.

You know, you'll never sneak

all that food out of here.

Putter.

Just put this on my dad's bill, ok.
