The Long Haul Page #3

Synopsis: Desperate to earn money, Harry hooks back up with Joe Easy. The best scene is when they make the final run to cash out a load of furs and they get lost on the way through the forest. The three drive the truck over the mountain to connect with the waiting ship in the harbor. The rocky terrain is a tense journey, until they try to cross the steam. Then it gets really good when they get stuck and have to remove a front tire in the middle of the stream. Harry's arm gets caught under the truck fender, they get loose but can't get up the embankment. There's an OK fist fight and then the trucks load slide off and crushes Joe Easy. That gets Harry & Lynn to the waiting ship. Harry then has guilty remorse and returns with Lynn to the wife and hospitalized son. They reconcile and the Police arrest harry for all his crimes.Lynn heads back to her dead end life at "The Congo Club"

I've been driving all

day long. I'm bushed.

There is a bonus in it if you'll do it.

Do what?

There are five hundred crates

of whiskey on that vehicle.

That's a new twist.

Taking Scotch into Scotland.

You know, I thought that Casey

was on the Glasgow run this week.

That's just it.

I guess I could use a couple of days.

And a bonus.

I can definitely use that.

Alright then?

- Okay.

Hey .. hey!

As it is, we've missed

the preliminaries.

Hey, Lynn!

Hello?

Yes.

Yes, that's right.

Come on, will you.

We'll miss the main bout.

I should break my neck

to see a boxing match.

Just a moment.

Joe .. it's for you.

I'm not here.

- It's a man called Casey.

He says it's very urgent.

Yep?

Speaking.

Yeah.

Well, who is driving it?

You're sorry?

What is it?

The whole thing is set up.

Then someone has to get smart.

Well, are we working or playing?

Relax, will you.

Ed? Joe.

It's a new deal.

Yes I know. Now, listen.

The truck just left. Get on that road.

Find it. As soon as it stops, ring me.

No. I'll handle this one myself.

Hello, Mr Easy.

Hiya, Mr Easy.

Hello, Mr Easy.

I hear you're an honest man.

So?

It's a pleasure to meet an honest man.

What's your price?

That's quite a load you have out there.

I think we could do a deal.

Look.

Suppose you were to take a walk.

Go out back or have a wash or something.

Hot coffee.

- Coffee.

Ten cigarettes.

Ten cigarettes.

I thought I told you to wait in the car.

I'm getting just a little tired

of waiting for you, Joe.

I'm hungry and I want to

go and eat somewhere.

If you want to eat something,

then eat something.

In this pig-house?

Listen. You were serving in a pig-house

like this when I picked you up, baby.

Watch out I don't drop you

right back among the pigs.

You want to walk back to town, Joe?

Because I'm taking the car.

I wouldn't do that.

Hey, fellahs.

This must be the only caf on the

road that has a floor show, huh?

Get him out of there.

Never seen anything like it.

Look, lady. I've got enough

trouble of my own. I don't ..

Please, just drive me somewhere.

I can't do it.

- I've got to get away from here.

Please.

Alright.

Here.

Where are we?

You hungry?

Are you in love with that guy?

In love with Joe?

Nobody loves Joe .. except maybe Joe.

You were so upset I thought maybe ..

My old man used to get

drunk and knock me around.

Then I hated him.

But one day the police

came and took him away.

And I cried.

It's funny.

When you don't have much,

you don't like losing it.

It's just Frank I'm worried about.

He's my brother.

You see ..

Joe puts up with him on

account of me, but ..

I don't suppose he'd ever get

himself a job anywhere else.
