Thieves' Highway Page #6

- Sure.

- Get the guy a paper cup.

- Aw, never mind.

Thanks.

Wanna try it? That's asparagus packin'on ice.

Hey, Mac.

What do you think of this?

- Hey, that's a nice apple!

- What do you think it's worth?

- Huh?

- What do you think they're worth?

- I don't know. Ask the boss. He'll be back soon.

- Thanks.

- Stop bargaining. Take it or leave it.

- I'll take it!

Too late.

What are we gonna do with you?

Juice is juice.

Too dry.

- How do you like that?

- Are you selling or pricing?

- What do you think they're worth?

- A lot more than I can give.

People who deal with me,

little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores,

can't afford to pay off.

- Where can I find Mike Figlia?

- Mike Figlia?

- What'd he say?

- He says, Mike Figlia stinks.

- Oh. Where can I find him?

- You're practically in front of him now.

- Oh.

- Hey! What do you want to

get mixed up with him for?

- There are plenty of straight outfits on the street.

- Thanks.

- What do you mean 12 bucks a crate?

- That's Golden

I don't care if it is Golden Bantam. People ain't

gonna pay two bits an ear to eat this stuff.

I give you 10 crates at 12

and five at eight and a half.

You're so nice to me.

I'll tell ya what. I'll take it if you make a deal

on 20 boxes of Golden Delicious.

Tell you what. I'll give you just one bite.

I ain't got no Golden Delicious.

No apples, no corn. If you're gonna take me,

it's gotta be worth it.

Hey, wait a minute.

How about 20 boxes of strawberries?

You can twist my arm on the corn.

I want apples.

Apples? What do you want me to do,

pull 'em out of my hat?

What? Huh?

Come back later.

Might be a deal on the apples.

- Hey! Jocko. Gonna park there long?

- Is there a law against it?

No. But I don't like it.

Hey, Fig! Maybe he's got

something you can use.

I don't do no business

with no wildcat peddlers.

What do you know? Apples.

- They're not for sale.

- How's that?

I said, you don't do business

with wildcat peddlers.

Get your truck out.

It's in the way.

Anything wrong?

My tire's flat.

Tire's flat? I got stuff

movin' in and out of here all the time.

Well, here. Maybe you

can pump it up faster.

Hey, Dave!

Give the man a hand.

Hey, what do you say, Charles?

You think we may be able to use them?

I'd have to see the entire load.

That's Charles for ya.

Got a great future.

Never wants to take a chance.

I'm willin'.

- Aren't you afraid you'll lose your shirt?

- I got plenty of shirts!

What'll you take for the whole load, as is?

Cash on the line.

- Help him out, Charles.

What do you think it's worth?

- Hard to say, Mr. Figlia.

Now, if they're all like this one

- Call that an apple?

- What's the matter with it?
