But nitro...

shoots straight out.

Anything that's not

nailed down in here...

is going right out that door

over there.

WlLLlS:

How long you been doing this?

GLASSCOCK:
Too damn long.

According to the odds

and the gods...

you only get to make

one mistake with this...

then they walk around

the edge of the crater.

And if they find a finger

or a toe...

well,that's what they bury.

We should probably leave now.

JOE:
What if they

blow themselves up in there?

JESS:
Well, I reckon

you'll be the first to know.

WlLLlS:
Ha ha ha ha ha!

Whoo!

WOMAN:
Stop that noise!

Who are you, and what are you

doing down there?

JESS:
Go back to bed, lady.

I got a fire siren up here.

Do you hear me?

JESS:
There ain't no fire.

WOMAN:
And if you don't

tell me what you're doing...

I'm going to crank it up.

[Scoffs]

JESS:
You touch the damn siren,

woman, I'm going to blow--

JOE:
Sorry to wake you, ma'am.

We're repairmen.

We're down here

trying to fix a lock.

Oh, no,you're not!

Not at 2:
00 in the morning!

JESS:
You touch the siren...

I'm going to blow your whole

building to kingdom come!

[Siren]

Hey! I said turn that off!

You're bank robbers,

that's what you are!

Somebody catch these men!

They just robbed the bank!

JESS:

Don't make me come up there!

JOE:

You're mean,you know that?

WOMAN:
Somebody stop these men!

They've just robbed the bank!

JESS:
The whole town's going

to be down here in a minute.

-Hey!

-What?

WlLLlS:
Get in there

and carry that silver.

We're getting it all.

-Whoo! Where?

-Behind the smoke!

WOMAN:
Catch them!

They robbed the bank!

That's my money in that bank!

JESS:
Well, it's our money now!

WOMAN:
No!

JESS:
Go back to bed!

All y'all! All is well!

All is well!

[Gunshot]

[Gunshot]

WlLLlS:
Come on!

Keep your speed up, boy!

JOE:
My leg's shot!

WlLLlS:
When I was your age...

I could've passed you running

backwards with that load,Joe.

Get it all?

JOE:
There's still

a calendar in there.

JESS:
I got them idiots

shooting at each other!

WlLLlS:
Hee hee!

GLASSCOCK:
It's a hell of a way

to make a living.

[Gunshot]

WlLLlS:
Whoo!

[Gunshot]

WlLLlS:
Whoo-ha!

I want to ship this back

to Texas, miss.

Well,whatever you say,Tex.

Ain't you a little young

to be running a hotel?

Ain't you a little young

to stay here all by yourseIf?

Yeah.

WlLLlS:
Good evening, ma'am.

LOUlSE:
What can I getfor you?

WlLLlS:

You got any out-of-town papers?

LOUlSE:
Oh, no, sorry.

You might want to try the depot.

WlLLlS:

How about that one right there?

-The Police Gazette?

-Yeah. Sounds good.

WlLLlS:

Let me get thatfor you.

I was going to say only

criminals read the tabloids...

but you don't look like
