Thunder Road Page #4

With nothing but your brush and comb

It's not the same, I know I'm to blame

Baby, won't you please come home?

Forget that rainy evening

This'll slay ya!

I know I'm to blame

Baby, won't you please come home?

Baby, won't you please come home?

She's trying to make a living. | If you wanna bray, go find a barnyard.

The night was young

You shouldn't do things like this. | This is a nightclub and it's late.

- People pay to get a little drunk. | - All right.

I'll pick up the tab | for moonface and his friends.

- Ask him to please quit yakking. | - OK.

The whippoorwill sang sweet and low

The moon was low, our hearts were high

- Fellow would like to buy you a drink. | - Who?

- Fellow named Carl Kogan. That's his hat. | - Tell him no.

Luke, you don't say no | to a fellow like this.

Then tell him "No, thanks. "

Poor whippoorwill

The tree is bare

He wonders still why you're not there

I'm all alone beneath the tree

Where once you pledged | your love to me

My lonely heart...

The man would still | like to have a drink with you.

I said no.

Look... Here's his card.

A little friendly conversation | never hurt anybody.

Maybe I'll talk to him, maybe I won't.

If I were you, I would.

My lonely heart cries out for you

The whippoorwill

Is crying too

Howdy...

home folks.

- Finally decided to come see the man? | - Yeah. Finally made the time.

Creat. Let's go in.

We've got mills that'll blow | that heap of yours right off the road.

Carl Kogan? My name's Doolin.

I didn't mean to be rude, but...

...there's a bird making a nest out there.

It's working very hard.

So I'm trying him out - | different kinds of music.

That bird won't interrupt his work | for trashy stuff.

Cive him one of those modern ballads and | nothing happens - he just keeps working.

But slam him full-volume | with something real good -

Wagner, Bach or Beethoven - | and then he really takes off.

I'm kinda interested in that stuff. | What's on your mind, Mr Doolin?

- I don't like being shot at. | - Hardly anybody does.

I don't like people who slap my hat | around. So we'll make it short and sweet.

I control most of the action around here | and I'm taking over Rillow Valley.

If we talk business, you'll get | the price I quoted and we'll all be happy.

If not... I'll take you over anyway.

Like you took over Niles Penland?

An accident. Like you put | two of my boys over the falls last night.

That puts you one ahead. | I'm willing to leave it that way.

The biggest danger is if one | of the alcohol-tax boys gets knocked off.

Nobody beats a Federal murder rap.

They'll stalk the ridges until there | isn't a still left in Kentucky or Tennessee.
