[ROARING]

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

ANNOUNCER ON PA:
Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the Wild West Show, quick draw contest.

Our contestants
today are Robert Fleming,

unbeaten in 10
previous contests,

and the fastest draw
west of the Rio Grande,

and the challenger
Lyle Wheeler,

New Mexico state champion
for the Wild West trophy.

[CROWD MURMURING]

[GUN FIRES]



And the winner is
Lyle Wheeler. Fantastic!

That was the quickest draw
I've ever seen.

Congratulations, Lyle Wheeler.

Let's hear it for Lyle.

I'm sorry, son,
but your water pump is out.

Get a rebuilt one for $27.50,

but I'd have to go into town
to get it,

and I just
couldn't guarantee it.

Well, it looks like I got
no choice.

You might as well
go ahead and fix it.

-All right.
-Thank you.

You bet.

Uh, fill her up with premium,
would you?

And wash the windows...



No, I don't work here,

my car just broke down,
the water pump.

Attendant, he should be back
in just a minute, though.

Sounds like you forgot
the preventive maintenance.

Yeah,
I guess you might say that.

This here is my speed wagon.

-Yeah.
-Goes 150 miles an hour.

And I can cover eight Western
states every 12 days.

-Really?
-Uh-huh, yes, sir.

It keeps me hopping.

-Herb's my name.
-How you doing?

Leather is my game. Hold it.

All right, got alligator here,
I got cowhide.

How about a new jacket there?
I can fix up anybody, huh?

No, I don't need a jacket,
thank you.

Need? Just the other day now
I sold an old lady

18 pair of shoes,
she only needed one.

-No, come on...
-You see, nobody only
buys what they need.

If everybody did that,
we'd all starve to death.

Well, besides not needing one,
I can't afford one, I'm sorry.

Now, wait a minute, money's
no excuse

because I can
offer you credit, huh?

You know something, I think
this is how you get your kicks.

No, no, selling is my
whole life. [INHALES]

It's my way of breathing.
That and my automobile here.

Yeah, this really is
a fine car. This is great.

Get in.

Really? Hey, thanks. Great.

Just get in there
and sit down now and feel that.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Hey, what kind of
engine you got in here?

That's a 454 cobra.

Start it up there.

Listen to it purr
just like a kitten.

Oh, yeah, that's great.

You oughta get yourself
one of these, boy.

Don't mind if I do.

[INAUDIBLE YELLING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIREN WAILING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[CRASHES]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Okay. There you go.

Okay.

Bobbie Jo makes 'em
cream in their jeans.

-[LAUGHING]
-Beat your meat, George.

-What's the matter with you?
-Oh, nothing.

They're just hassling me,
that's all.

-I think they're kind of cute.
-Oh, come on, Essie, really.

-Is this your order?
-No.

Maybe you're just too damn
particular, Bobbie Jo.

Why shouldn't I be?

'Cause you're never going
to get married that way.

-I don't want to get married.
-You do want to.

No, I don't. I want to travel
maybe or something.

I don't know.

You're dreaming again,
my dear.

Okay, so what have you
got in mind, Princess?

Well, I'll know him
when I see him.

Hey, listen,
you just have a minute.

Uh, why don't you
go ahead and go

and I'll take your station.

I thank you.

-Howdy?
-How you doin'?

-Good, how you doin'?
-Just fine, thank you.

Can I take your order?

Listen, how come you have to
do all the work around here?

She's off work now.

Oh, I see.

Hey, come here.
What's her name?

Essie.

That's her name?

Bobbie Jo.

Aha.

Well, listen, will you tell
Bobbie Jo to come over here?

I said she's off work now.
May I please take your order?

All right. I'll have
a hamburger,

an order of french fries
and a Coca-Cola.

-And a Coke.
-That's right.

And lots of ice in the glass.

-You got it.
-Bye.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Bobbie Jo?

Yeah, Momma.

This Jehovah's Witness came
to the door yesterday.

She said we all need saving.

We're doing all right, Momma.

No. I think she was right.

God knows things haven't been
right around here since...

since your father died.

Oh, I've tried my best,
all alone as I am.

Momma, we've been doing fine
for 10 years now.

I tried my best,
and look what's happened.

Your sister's run off
and you staying out all night.

Bobbie Jo,
did you let him kiss you?

Momma, I told you,
last Friday I was with Essie.

Uh-huh.

Well, I could've had
a heart attack

for all you care, too.

I have to have my own life,
too, you know.

Running around
all day and night?

It wasn't like
that when I was young.

You're right, Momma,
times have changed.

Not in the eyes of the Lord,
young lady.

What do you want me to do,
Momma? Enter a convent?

Bobbie Jo,
I just want you to be good.

You know what that means?

To you it means
roll over and die,

I'll find peace in heaven.

You see, right away
you start exaggerating.

Well, let me tell you
something, young lady.

I don't know what I would've
done without the good Lord.

It seems to me, Hattie,

that liquor gives you
a lot more peace of mind

than the Lord if you ask me.

Well, now you just take that
back, Miss Uppity.

It's getting hot
in here, Hattie.

I'm gonna take some fresh air.

I'll see you later.

Well, hello.

Come on, lover boy, move it.
Or did you lose your nerve?

-Okay, so where're we going?
-Just drive.

Yeah, but you don't
even know who I am.

Should I care?

Hey, you know, you kinda
remind me of somebody.

Linda Ronstadt.

Is she your idol?

Kinda. Who's yours?

Billy the Kid.

Billy the Kid?

Why is that?

Because he didn't
take no shit from nobody.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

You like country music?

Oh, yeah.
It really sounds good.

It means to me about
what this car does to you.

[CHUCKLES] Now,
how did you know that?

They told me at school
that I was a tease.

-Wow, did you write that?
-Yeah.

Wow. You know what,
you oughta be on the stage.

Oh, come on, Lyle.

Oh, I suppose you'd rather
sling hash

because it's good
for your health,

all that walking
and exercise, huh?

-Well, no, not exactly.
-Well, what, then?

Well, I wanted to be
a country-western singer.

Oh, now that is a real
possibility, I think,
with your talent.

Aw.

That's really nice to hear,

but you didn't
really have to say that.

No, no, you know...
I think you're smart enough

to do anything
you really want to do,

if you just put
your mind to it.

Now, you could be a real star.

All you need is
a little management, maybe.

Well, maybe if I'd had
voice lessons

when I was little
or something,

but now it seems
like it's late, I guess.

It's never too late.

You gotta have
dreams and persistence,

that's the most
important thing.

You keep doing what you want
and working,

and pretty soon,
you're the best,

if you believe in yourself.

Hey, you know what the motto
of the Texas Rangers was?

No, what?

"Little man will
beat big man every time

"if little man's in the right
and he keeps on a-comin'."

You know, when I was about...

oh, about five or six,
I guess,

I used to stand
in front of the mirror,

and I'd get all dressed up,

and I'd pretend like I was
Minnie Pearl

at the Grand Ole Opry.

-Really?
-Yeah.

-Well, how'd that feel?
-Terrific! I was a star.

Yeah, well,

I used to practice being a
gunfighter the same way.

-You're kidding me.
-No, no.

-In the mirror?
-Yeah. [CHUCKLES] Yeah.

I won every time,
hands down, too.

Oh, wow! Lyle, that's great.

Well, all you gotta have
is a steady hand,

a keen eye
and a real good figure.

[CHUCKLES] Now where does
a good figure enter into it?

Well, that sort of keeps me
interested in the teaching.

Lyle.

Okay, now, point it...

You gotta cock that hammer,
pull it all the way back.

Oh, got it.

It's hard. I can't do it.

Now, come on,
you're gonna get it.

-Okay...
-Now...

you put both hands together,

cock the hammer...

That's right.

Now, you just squeeze
that trigger,

and it's just like
prayin', go ahead.

-I hit! I hit it!
-[LAUGHS]

Sure you hit it. Of course!

Told you,
it's just like prayin'.

What are we gonna do tonight?

Now, what do you mean "we"?

Back in the state
where I come from,

three is a crowd.

Oh, come on,
Lyle, she's my best friend.

Okay.

Hey, what's this stuff?

Well, I sell at eight western
states every 12 days,

anything you want from gator
to cowhide, just ask me.

I thought we were supposed
to wear plastic

to save the animals.

Ah, now,
that's a bunch of horseshit.

Where'd you hear that?

Oh, I read it someplace.

Now what do you think
you're sittin' on right now?

Vinyl.

Wrong.
That is 100% genuine cowhide.

It breathes,
it keeps your fanny cool.

So don't get so hot about it.

I'm not. I just know
my business, that's all.

[DINGING]

Hey, what's the idea?

You want some action, friend?

Well, uh, this here machine's
kind of new to me.

I'll spot you 10,000 points.

Well, uh, what kind of odds
you gonna give me?

I give you two to one.

Hmm, let me think about that,
I don't know.

Say, 20 bucks,
that makes 40 for you.

You're on.

WOMAN: Wow.

-Wish me luck, baby.
-You got it.

Go, come on.

-Go. Whoo!
-LYLE: There we go.

-There you go.
-Go!

LYLE: Come on!
Hit me now, baby. Come on!

There we go. There we go.

Hit me one more.

That's the one,
that's the one, come on.

There we go.

Come on, come on, attagirl!

[WHOOPS]

There it goes. Come on, baby.

Come on. There you go.

Right back up.
Come on, come on, come on.

LYLE: Let's go. One more time.
One more time.

Come on, come on. There we go.

-Whoo!
-Hit it now!

Beautiful.
That's right. Come on.

Round and round, there we go.

-Well, now.
-Two out of three.

No,
I beat you fair and square,

besides my little lady here
she don't like me gambling,

so you might as
well just pay up.

Two to one, remember?

Yeah, I remember.

Thank you kindly.

Excuse me, boys.

Come on, girls.

Come on.

Here you go, boy.

Hey!

We don't like cheaters.

Hey, hey, wait a minute.

Hey, you guys,
you got me all wrong.

No, man,
we got you tagged right.

[GRUNTING]

Hey, boys!
This is what you call

an old Mexican standoff, huh?

Well, that's tough, you hoods.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Jesus, Lyle,
why were they so mad at you?

Oh, they're just a bunch
of sore losers, that's all.

Yeah, but you beat 'em
fair and square.

Well, not exactly, uh...

What's that?

Well, that's
a little gaff I had made.

I can make that pinball
sit up and do tricks.

It just follows my hand
right around the board.

That's wild!

Well, I guess I'm
just naturally lucky.

I think that you are probably

the smartest person that I've
ever met in my whole life.

-Really?
-Yeah.

Does that mean that you like
me better than your mother?

Better than anybody.

Get me out of this. God!

Get me out of this. God!

Lyle, where'd you
learn about all this stuff?

Oh, from my brother.

-He's a hunter.
-Yeah?

But he never kills
anything he can't eat.

What about the gun?

Oh, it's my dad's,
it's a single action colt,

sort of like the one
Billy used to use.

Really? Billy the Kid.

Are you like your dad?

I don't know,
he died before I was born.

I'm sorry.

Oh, it was a hunting accident.

My brother was
with him at the time.

That's awful.

Well, he said that
Dad used to always say

never to lose your footing
or you're a goner.

I just sort of
always believed that.

Well, is that how come
you learned to shoot so good?

What's that suppose to mean?

Well, because you weren't sure
of your footing.

No, no, that ain't it.

I got confidence
that won't quit.

[CHUCKLES]

Tell me,
what's it like on the road?

-Selling?
-Yeah.

Oh, it ain't a bad life.

Lots of towns, lots of girls?

No, no, nothing like that.

Hey, listen, could I tell you
something personal about myself?

Would you promise
not to get angry?

Oh, I wouldn't get angry.

And you wouldn't
laugh either?

No, I wouldn't laugh.

I like you too much, Lyle.

[EXHALES] Well, I lied, I...

I'm no leather salesman.

I found that sample case
in a gas station

back in Los Alamos.

Oh, well...

Uh...

Shoot, what's wrong with that?

You sure you're not mad?

I'm not mad. I promise.

-Hello!
-How are you?

I'm fine.

It's good to see you.

Oh, God. I'm a sight.

It took me three rides to get
here, can you believe that?

-You look beautiful.
-Oh, yeah, I look great, right?

You look beautiful.

Oh, listen,
I stopped by your house,

and I picked up some
of your shit from your mom.

-Thank you.
-Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Also...

I brought $20 that I
made on tips last night.

Big deal.

Come on, give it to me.

Well, what have we got now,
a little threesome?

Come on, Lyle, lighten it up.

Wow, man, don't be
so uptight, you know.

Do whatever comes natural,
you know.

BOBBIE JO: It's okay.

[LYLE CHUCKLES]

I guess that's sort of like
another commune.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Grandfather, please.

Thank you, Grandfather.

Yes, thank you very much.

Oh, oh.

Cheers.

Sacred mushroom, do you well

for many, many years.

Grandfather...

Yes, my child?

Can you help me
find my own truth?

Yes, my child,
with the help of the spirits,

it will happen.

[CHUCKLES]

Ooh...

I thought I...
I can see it coming.

ESSIE: What do you see?

I can see the whole
United States Cavalry.

Indians, too, man,
they're all over the place.

Yeah.
I can see it. I can see it.

-ESSIE: Indians?
-Yeah, Indians.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

I can see some Indians.

What's happening now?

It's the Old West.

-ESSIE: Oh...
-The good old days.

[EXHALES] I'm at a town.

-ESSIE: You're in a town?
-Yeah.

What's the town?

Town of Lincoln, New Mexico.

ESSIE: Lincoln, New Mexico?

Yeah, it's night.

They're after me.

Who's after you?

Who's after you?

-Posse.
-Posse?

I'm being pursued
by the sheriff, he's after me.

I've gotta get away.

-They're chasing me...
-Are you all right?

There's no way out,
I'm on the run.

I've gotta hide,
I've gotta get away.

The posse's coming in,
they'll be right on me.

They're surrounding me.

They're coming
in from all sides.

I'm on foot.

[BOBBIE JO GASPS]

I'm gonna hide
out in the barn.

What am I gonna do?

What do I do?

Go out the back door.

[YELLS] I'm shot.

-Hey!
-I'm shot.

-Lyle?
-Are you all right?

-Lyle...
-I'm going down.

-Dry Gulch.
-Hey, Lyle...

They've got me, I'm hit.

There's blood
all over my face.

Lyle, it's okay.

Yeah.

Lyle.

-Yeah, but you know what?
-Lyle...

What?

Hey, man, I'm an outlaw.

I am an outlaw.

Oh, boy, that was some trip.

Oh, Jesus,
I am still strung out.

BOBBIE JO: Oh, mmm...

I am so strung out I feel like
I'm still into it, you know?

ESSIE: I go, whee!

BOBBIE JO: Oh, Jesus.
ESSIE: [LAUGHS] Whew!

Hey, we got Billy the Kid here
driving this car.

You do, ma'am, you do.

Uh-oh.

Okay, boy,
let's see your license.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

BOBBIE JO: Oh, my God, Lyle!

Okay, gang, posse's after me,
you better hang on.

Lyle, what the hell
are you doing?

Honey, this car ain't mine,
it's hot.

Holy shit,
you mean you ripped it off?

Don't matter. They hang
car thieves in this country.

Oh, my God.

-Oh, my God.
-Oh, no.

[SIREN WAILING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

-Lyle, look out! Look out!
-I'm dead! Lyle!

Hit the deck right now, move!

All right,
you can get up now.

[CHUCKLES]

[PANTING]

Hey, you got any bright ideas
what we should do now?

Uh, I got a sister
that's in show business.

-Pearl!
-Um, right.

She, uh...
Maybe she can help.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Hi.
-Hey.

Say, will you look at that,
my baby sister.

You know, I never thought
you'd turn out

to be such a raving beauty.

It's in the family, Pearl.

Yeah. Ouch.

[EXCLAIMS] I'm about
an ornery son of a bitch.

Hey, Slick, honey,
I want you to meet somebody.

This is my little sister,
Bobbie Jo,

and, uh, that's her friend Lyle.

-How you doin'?
-Yo.

And this is, uh...

-Essie.
-Essie.

PEARL: Essie, right.

Well,
what's the occasion here?

Oh, uh, we just sorta
came by to say hello.

-Broke?
-Yeah.

SLICK: You need work?

Hey, come on now, Slick,

she don't wanna work
in this crummy joint,

and I don't blame her neither.

She's always jumping in

when she don't know what
the hell she's talking about.

I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do.

You take this $10
and go on out

and get yourself
a feed somewhere,

and I'm gonna figure
somethin' out for you

-when you get back.
-Thanks.

You got wheels there,
stud horse?

Yeah.

You mind giving me
a lift over my office,

I gotta pick
somethin' up over there.

Yeah, sure, I'd be glad to.

I sure would appreciate it.

-See y'all back here in a while.
-Bye-bye.

Lyle,
uh, honey, be careful, okay?

-Why do you say that?
-I don't know, I...

I guess I just don't want
to let you out of my sight.

Oh, come on, don't worry.

Hey, come on,
loosen the leash.

Slick might seem like
he's a little dense, right?

But I'll tell you something,

he is the best that
I've ever had in the sack.

And you know something else,
he's a really good dancer, too.

Whoo, whoo.
[GIGGLES]

And he loves me.

[CHUCKLES]
He seems nice.

One night he comes walking up
to me and he says,

"Hey, pussy willow."

That's what he calls me,
you know.

He says,
"You wanna know something,

"you're really too good
to be doing this kind of work."

I think he's right.

So do I.

You know what happened?

He got me that night.

-Mmm.
-Hey...

You guys aren't in
any trouble, are you?

No.

No, we're not in any trouble.

Whoo, far out, man,
that's wild!

Hey, that's really wild.

You like that, huh?

You want a snort?

Oh, no, thanks.

Hey, you ain't never
seen me high, have you?

I'm funny as hell when I'm high.
I'll tell you,

I'm badder than an ornery
son of a bitch, whew!

Hey, man, whereabouts is this
office of yours anyway, huh?

Just make a left up here
at the next corner. Pull over.

I'll be right back.

How long you gonna be?

Just a couple of minutes.

Halt!

[GUNSHOT]

[GROANS]

LYLE:
You stupid goddamn idiot.

Do you realize
what you've done?

-Did you get the gun?
-Shit, yes, you maniac.

Hey, why the hell
didn't you tell me

what was going on
back there, huh?

I didn't wanna
let you in on it.

They must've had a bigger
payroll this time

with that security guard
there.

Hey, man, now I'm
the one that's gonna...

Hey, do you realize
I killed someone?

Don't worry about it, man,
that gun's hot.

I should've left you
back there to die.

Hey, I'm grateful.

I really am, I'm grateful,
that was some shootin'.

You gonna need
a doctor for that?

No, just get me
over to Pearl's place.

She'll take care of me.

PEARL: Now don't worry.
It's okay.

Look, honey,
I got something here

that'll just fix you up fine.

Ow! What's wrong with you?

Now, Slick, come on now,

there's just
a little graze on your leg.

MAN ON RADIO: We interrupt
this program

to bring you
a special bulletin.

Tragedy struck tonight
in Lordsburg, New Mexico,

as a 47-year-old
night watchman

was shot and killed as he tried to apprehend two men

who fled from the scene
of the robbery

of the New Mexico
Peterville Center

in an orange Mustang.

An all-out alert is on
throughout Guadalupe County,

says Sheriff Hicks.

Apprehension is expected soon.

And now,
back to today's program.

[GROANS]

Uh... I guess we're
all in this together now.

Bullshit,
what do you mean "we"?

I'm the one who's
gonna hang, not you all.

Now, wait a minute,
we're all family, aren't we?

Pearl's right, honey.

Listen,
we'll work it out together.

Lyle, why don't we just give up
now before things go too far?

Your idea sucks.

LYLE: Well, I got news for you.

Things have
already gone too far.

Kill the lights.

I guess now that
we're in this thing together,

we might as well do our first
thing and get out of here.

BOBBIE JO: How?

LYLE: Okay, we'd better
get out to the roof.

I got a little plan.
Come on, let's go.

MAN: Road blocks have been
set up for suspects

in last night's murder.

Now, you guys remember,

I'm gonna be right behind
you watching, okay?

But the radio
says road blocks.

Yeah, I know,
that's your stitch.

You stop and stall 'em
in case I have to
make a break for it.

I'll do that.

Uh, Lyle, honey,
can I ride with you?

Hey, not this time.
First, let's get
out of this scrape.

I mean, they don't know
about you all and, uh...

I need all the help I can get.

Okay.

-Go on.
-Bye.

Lyle...

-Take care, darling.
-Oh! Be careful.

Okay.

Don't let your meat loaf.

Drive, you hotshot.

-Hello, Officer.
-Howdy, folks.

-Hello, Officer.
-Hello, lady.

What's your destination?

We're going to the Young
Christian Folk Singers meet.

Always had a lot of respect
for the Lord, lady.

So have we, sir.

But I thought that meeting
was in Gallup last week.

Well, they might've
had one in Gallup.

I don't know about that,

but the one we're going to
is in Santa Fe.

Oh, I see.

Well, you all take it easy,
you hear? You can go now.

-Thanks a lot. Bye.
-Bye.

Move that barricade.

I'm glad the Lord's not trying
to trap you,

'cause I'd kill
that son of a bitch.

Come on, Slick,
just put that thing away.

He don't know nothing,
he's a dummy.

ALL:
♪ Bringing in the sheaves

♪ Bringing in the sheaves

♪ We will be rejoicing
bringing in the sheaves ♪

♪ Bringing in...

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Come on, Slick, move it,
will you?

Holy shit.

Wow, that was really incredible
what you did at the roadblock.

Uh-huh,
you guys are very good,

but don't let it go to
your head, you understand?

-Now, go on, get back in.
-[SCREAMS]

-Oh.
-You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Listen, uh, I don't know
if it's gonna work out too well

traveling with this bunch.

Oh, Lyle, they did good at
the roadblock, didn't they?

It's good luck to have family.

Yeah, but don't you think you
and I could travel better alone?

Well, we'll just stay one jump
ahead of 'em, that's all.

Yeah, I guess you're right.
They're a pretty good bunch.

[LAUGHS] I'm gonna go swim.

How come you gotta do all
the dirty work, Slick?

Hell, I don't mind, I kinda
like working on cars.

Yeah, do you know that
you're doing everything

that Lyle tells you to do?

That's because Lyle is
much smarter than I am

when it comes to
planning things out.

Now, hell, you know me.
I can't plan a trip
to the supermarket.

[SIGHS] Yeah.

But I just wish you'd
speak up a little bit more.

You never talked like
that to me before.

Well, before it was just
you and me.

Do you know what you're
starting to act like now?

-Mmm.
-One of them yellow bellies

with a big stick up his ass.

Now before you go jumpin'
on me, pussy willow,

you gotta remember one thing.

And I don't want you
to ever forget it, ever.

What's that?

A hard man is good to find.

Whoo!

All right.

Whoo!

You got that bucket
of bolts ready?

Everything's in top shape,
Lyle, top shape.

LYLE: Good work.

Well, what're we
gonna do now, Lyle?

We're gonna lay low
and figure out what our
next move's gonna be.

I don't even
know where we are.

Well, I'm driving,
you'd better find out.

Here you go.

[RADIO PLAYING]

Open it for me.

Well, I guess we'd better head
south for now in two cars.

And if we get separated, we'll
meet at Roswell, how's that?

Honey, I wanna travel
with you now, okay?

-Sure.
-We interrupt this program

for a special announcement

from the Sheriff of
Guadalupe County, Bud Hicks.

Hey there, Sheriff Hicks here, Sheriff Bud Hicks.

How you doin', Sheriff?

Now, I wanna make an appeal to Lyle Wheeler

somewhere out there.

I know you're too scared
to give yourself up,

but due to extenuating
circumstances,

I can promise you
a fair trial.

Now, I can
tell you right off,

but we believe you weren't
implicated

in the way that
you thought you were.

See?

So, if you all just come in
and give yourself up

nice and peaceful like,

I'm gonna give you
the benefit of the doubt.

-Sure.
-Oh, yeah.

And if you don't...

I'm gonna hunt you down
like a dog.

You're not gonna give up to that
fat little bugger, are you?

[LAUGHING]

Pearl,
what is wrong with giving up?

Oh, screw that sheriff,
come on.

Lyle, he said amnesty.

That means we can
all go back.

Hey, listen, you're free to do
whatever you wanna do, okay?

Damn it, I mean all of us
can go back together.

Hey, Lyle, you're not
gonna listen to this
fifth wheel, are you?

Okay, fine, that's just fine,
what then?

Well, I guess, we'd just
better lay low

for a while and keep 'em
guessin'

'til we get our little mitties
on some more money, huh?

All right.

How did they find out it was
you, I don't understand?

Oh, they probably traced
that car I left

back in that gas station
in Los Alamos.

Operator, I'd like to speak
to Sheriff Hicks.

Lyle! Lyle Wheeler!

-What is it?
-Get up, get up, stay down.

This is Sheriff Hicks.

Get over there to the window,
cover me at the window.

BOBBIE JO: Where's Essie?

You're completely surrounded,
Lyle.

There ain't no way
you can get away.

Hey, listen, you two
go through the hatch,

right underneath that
cupboard back there,

under the rug on the floor.

Go out under it, get the car,

come around and cover us.

Come on, Bobbie Jo.

Essie, Essie, where are you?

Now, Lyle,
just like I said on the TV,

you all give yourself up,

I'm gonna give you
the benefit of the doubt.

I think you should say
something.

No, no!

Maybe I should go with them.

[SIGHS] Shut up.

He's got six of them
out there.

They're coming around with the
car. Don't worry about it.

All right, boys if he don't
come out in three seconds,

we're gonna let him have it.

No! No, you promised!
Lyle, watch out.

Let's get out of here!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[GASPING] Lyle, he prom...
He promised me.

That there wasn't gonna be
any guns. He prom...

-He promised me.
-It's okay, it's okay.

-We forgive you.
-Essie, I love you.

[GASPING]

I love you. I'm sorry.

No.

Oh!

[SIGHS] Essie.

-She's dead.
-No.

-She is.
-No.

-Come on, Bobbie.
-[CRYING]

LYLE: Hey, you know what,
she was really okay.

I'm gonna miss her.

"After the raid on Coffeyville,

"where all his brothers was
killed, Emmet Dalton said,

'It made me a criminal.
I wanted to get killed

in one hell-firing
minute of smoke and action.'"

Well, she had their spirit,

She could have been
a Dalton for all we know.

You.

-You, too, Pearl.
-Yeah.

Now it's dust to dust
and ash to ash.

This might not be
the best deal in the world,

but it's the only one
we're ever gonna get.

So we might as well
learn to live with it.

-Amen.
-Amen.

Amen.

I'll tell you
one thing for sure.

They ain't gonna
get away with this.

Now, I got something to say.

That mealy-mouthed, lily-livered
sheriff has gone far enough.

Be something to put him to shame
and get us a reputation.

Do what, Lyle?

We're gonna rob us a bank.

A bank!

-Now you're talking.
-Christ!

I've got it all figured out.

First of all, we need a whole
lot more firepower.

-Meaning what?
-You gotta have guns, darling.

And you are gonna have to learn
how to use 'em really well.

Now, let's go.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[WIND WHISTLING]

[TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

BOBBIE JO: Yeah!

[TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

All ready to fire.

Get the sure foot, right.

[TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

Okay, pull back.

-Now it's ready to fire.
-It's ready to fire.

Now, you're gonna find,
pussy willow,

the power of speech in one
of these things, it's amazing.

-Keep it down.
-You get people to crawl around

on their hands and knees
and bark like a dog,

crow like a rooster.
[LAUGHING]

You'll see what
I'm talking about.

Oh, wait a minute now...

Okay, let's do it together,
okay.

-Count to three, okay?
-Come on, girls.

-All right, one, two, three.
-One, two, three.

[FIRING]

-[ALL EXCLAIMING]
-PEARL: Was that great?

-You were fabulous, I guess.
-[LAUGHING]

Pussy willow,
that was just beautiful.

Come on, let's try
it again, all right.

Jesus, Pearl,
what's taking 'em so long?

You can't hurry
these things, baby.

Well, I'm gonna go in and
see what's going on.

No, you just stay close by.

'Cause I don't wanna
have to leave you behind.

And when Lyle says go,
I'm going.

[GUN FIRING]

-What, are you crazy? Get down!
-Bobbie Jo!

It's loaded, ready to go.

Just squeeze the trigger
if you have to.

Come on, let's go.

[GUN FIRING]

Come on! Come on you!

Roll this thing,
you dumb blonde!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Hey, babe, don't ever let that
happen again, all right?

Or I ain't coming back
for you, okay?

Oh, but, Lyle,
I made them dance, didn't I?

Yeah, just cool it.

MAN: Now those people never
gave us any trouble.

And besides, they promised
me $50 for the week.

I know, I know, and we weren't
using the barn anyway.

But I just don't like
strangers hanging around.

Mr. and Mrs. Potts, uh,
I can't tell you how much

I appreciate your kindness
and your hospitality

to me and my good friends here.

And reciprocation for that,
I wanna give you $50.

But I don't have it on me
right now,

so I'm gonna send it to you
in the mail.

Bobbie Jo, if you'll
get their address here.

And I wanna thank you all
again, and God bless.

Oh, by the way,
watch us on the TV tonight.

You goin' on a game show?

No, sir,
we're gonna be on the news.

See y'all.

Excuse me, Mr. Potts,
what's your address?

Uh, uh, Potts Farm,
Route 4, Clovis, New Mexico.

And Mrs. Potts, we really loved
your pies. They were great.

Don't mention it.

-Okay. Bye-bye.
-Thanks a lot, bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Now, you see, Mabel,
ain't those nice kids?

Why, they wouldn't
hurt anybody.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Blue Bunny,
this is Red Rover, bend over.

PEARL:
Bend your egg, Rover, over.

Okay, now we're passing, uh,
Checkpoint Charlie.

-Where are you?
-Same here.

We're getting into position.

Two minutes to go, over.

Okay, Blue Bunny, this is
Red Rover, turning over.

Good luck, Bobbie Jo.

Let's go.

[ENGINE STARTING]

-You have an account here?
-No.

Well, this is
an out-of-town check,

and I'm sorry,
we have a policy here.

All right, okay, thank you.

Sure.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

Hello, folks,
I'm Slick Callahan.

These are my cohorts,

Miss Bobbie Jo
and Lyle Wheeler.

Now, you all just remain
in your respectful positions

while we take care
of business.

No, please!

Ma'am, hey, ma'am! Ma'am,
don't worry about a thing.

-Don't shoot me, please.
-Bobbie Jo, get her a chair.

Sit right down, darling.

It's all right,
don't be scared.

No one's gonna hurt you.

Come on, baby!

Let's get out of here.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Holy shit, Leroy,
look what happened here.

Now come on,
you people get out of here.

Get out of here, this here
building's quarantined.

Now, come on.
Now, move out, move it.

Leroy, you call the station
right away, you hear me?

You tell them to get over
here on the double.

Holy shit!

[SNIFFING]

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

Well, now tell me, Lyle.

What is it that makes you fight
the pigs the way you do?

Oh, it was just an accident,

kind of one thing led
to another, you know.

Oh, you mean you didn't set out
to start no revolution?

[LAUGHS]

No, no, no, I just
hit the road, that's all.

And the country just rose up
and smacked me upside the face.

Oh, geez,
I'll bet that hurt like hell.

[LAUGHS]

Well, now, you know...
There you go.

You know, you could stay
right here

in the palace with us,
if y'all want.

Oh, that's really kind of you,

but we really
gotta be movin' on.

-Yeah.
-Thanks for your hospitality.

Well, that's all right,
that's all right.

[LAUGHS]

Well, y'all take care now,
you hear?

Okay, thank you very much
for everything.

-Goodbye, sweetie.
-Bye sweetheart.

Thanks a lot, Magic Ray.

-Oh, it wasn't nothin'.
-Oh, you're wonderful, bye.

So long. Drive careful now.

[CAR APPROACHING]

[CAR DOOR SLAMMING]

Howdy, boy.

I said howdy. Ain't you
people sociable around here?

Well, hi, Admiral.

Look, we got reason to believe

there's a bunch of bank robbers
coming this way.

Y'all seen no
hide nor hair of 'em?

Well, have a look-see for
yourself.

Now we know,
they ain't here now.

But they might have been.

Well, we ain't seen
hide nor hair of 'em.

Now, listen,
which way'd they go?

Well, I don't know.

Maybe they breezed through
on some higher plane.

[SPITS]

Tobacco's a nasty habit,
Sheriff.

Hmm, hey,
not when it's your only vice.

You're wastin'
your time here, man.

Well, I don't care what state
they're in or where they go,

I'm gonna get them
bunch of murderin' thieves...

Well, now, we don't prejudge
anybody, Sheriff, not even you.

[GRUNTS]

Now, Deputy,

you know you ain't gonna get
that boy to talk that way.

I don't condone violence, son.

[GRUNTS]

[CHOKING]

-That's enough, Leroy.
-Oh.

[CHOKING]

Leroy, I said that's enough!

-Now quit it.
-[GASPS]

Get on back to the car.

Now, son...

all I'm askin' you for is just
a little bit of cooperation.

You stupid son of a bitch!

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

[EXCLAIMS]

[GASPS]

[SIGHS] Piece of...

[BREATHING HARD]

Man, that sure was
some ride, huh?

It's a great car they got,
pussy willow.

Pussy willow...

how the hell did
we wind up in Texas?

Well, honey, there sure
weren't no road signs

in them there hills,
you know.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, listen,
why don't you girls

go on in here and get yourself
an ice cream

while Slick and I go across
the street and get a shave?

Oh, listen, don't forget to give
that $50 back to that couple

where we stayed on the ranch.

Mr. Potts probably forgot
who we are by now, Lyle.

Now, it's a matter of principle,
I gave him my word.

Hey, wait a minute,
I really don't see that...

-Hey...
-Because that's our money.

You don't have to see.
You just go on
and get some ice cream.

Now, you're the banker, darling.
Take care of it.

I will.

-I want some ice cream.
-Ice cream.

[LAUGHS]

Hi. Can we have an ice cream
cone? You want one?

-Yeah, a chocolate.
-Two.

Goddamn! Wow!

[EXCLAIMS] Lyle,
I can't believe it.

[LAUGHS] Look what it says.

It says, "Lyle Wheeler
won't escape me,"

"vowed Sheriff Hicks.

"And not the others neither.

And that goes for his
girlfriend, Bobbie Jo Baker."

Bobbie Jo Baker. Oh, God.

"And her sister Pearl,

and that no-good cheap
chiseler, Slick Callahan."

Well, shit, that's not
very nice to say about Slick.

That's an insult.

-Come on!
-Look!

And they don't even say nothing
here about my dancin' neither.

We'll get two of 'em,
one for the boys.

Thank you.
Oh, doesn't he look cute?

Thanks.
Oh, yeah, he looks all right.

-Great.
-Mmm-hmm.

Now, you gentlemen just relax.

I've got to go outside
and stroke my strap.

Hey, Lyle, you wanna go outside
and help him stroke his strap?

[LAUGHS] I think he left
his strap here a long time ago.

[LAUGHING]

Okay, boys,
put your hands up. Move!

You're both under arrest

in the name of Sheriff Hicks
of Guadalupe County.

Now just who are you, mister?

Gance, Abel Gance, Deputy.

Don't move unless
you feel real lucky,

'cause I don't give a shit
how I get the reward.

Dead or alive, I get it.

Why, I'd be a fool.

That's right.

And you, you must be
that petty thief, huh?

You like to steal things?

Now why don't you kinda come on
try to steal by me, huh?

Hey, cheese face,
I'm gonna take you apart.

I eat shit like you for
breakfast every morning, boy.

If I had my way, I'd hang your
asses right now, both of you.

But the law is the law, huh?

I--I told you not to move.

Now, Buster, I want
you to watch that asshole.

And I want you to
watch that asshole.

And if either one of those
assholes move, bang,

I want you to shoot them
right where their onions grow.

[CHUCKLES] Yeah.

'Cause I'm gonna
call the sheriff now

and get rid of these guys.

Can I have your boots?

[LAUGHS]

If I have your boots
in my store,

business might improve,
seeing how famous you are.

Well, I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do.

Just as soon as
I'm finished with 'em,

you can have 'em, okay?

-Why, thank you, Lyle.
-They're on their way.

[SHOUTING]

[TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

Get on the floor, on your knees,
you fat slob.

-[MUMBLING]
-Now get down there!

Come on, I want to see you
squeal like a pig.

Go on, start squealing!
Come on, squeal!

[SQUEALING]

Squeal louder like
a little-widdle piggy poo!

Come on, squeal!

Come on, fat face, squeal!

[SQUEALING]

Oh, all right,
now get up in that chair.

Come on, get in that chair.

-[EXCLAIMING]
-[SQUEALING]

[GASPING]

Porky, what you're gonna need
is a nice close shave.

I'll do anything, anything,
please, man!

[SCREAMING]

Please, no!

You can't exactly call
the sheriff

and tell him
not to come after us.

All right, now.
Listen, I got a place to hide.

I got money.
Buster, tell 'em I got money.

[CRYING] I got money, please.

Money don't buy everything,
Deputy.

Go ahead, tie him up.

Look at him squeal,
like a goddamn pig!

No! No, please!

Porky, what you need
is a new mouth.

[SCREAMING]

You son-of...

Goddamn it, Slick!
Come on, let's get out

Now, you stay put for
15 minutes, you understand me?

-Yes...
-You understand, boy?

Yes!

[CRYING]

Move over, darling.
Start this thing up, Pearl.

Lyle, what happened?

-Slick up here killed a deputy.
-Oh, my God.

How in the hell
did that happen?

-I guaran-goddamn-tee
he had it coming.
-No, he--

Will you two stop arguing!

What the hell's the difference?!
Now start the car!

The difference between
self-defense

and deliberately killing someone
in front of a witness

is the difference between
good and evil, you dummy!

Start the car.

-Come on, start this thing up.
-Can't start it.

-BOBBIE JO: Move over.
-I can't start it, I'm trying.

-BOBBIE JO: Move up.
-Get over.

Go, Lyle.

[ENGINE REVVING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

You got any idea which way
they went, Buster?

No, no, they didn't say.
I don't know.

No, I don't suppose not.

But didn't they say
anything, just...

Anything to give me a clue
or something, you know?

Ah, well, oh...

Uh, Lyle said that I
could have his boots

when he's through with 'em.

Now, it's gonna be a whole lot
sooner than you think, Buster,

-I'll tell you.
-Huh?

I'm gonna get him.
And you can bet on it.

Come on, Leroy.

[DOOR SQUEAKING]

Hey, Lyle, you know, this sure
is a nice car you stole.

Yeah, the cowboys probably rode
Lincoln Continental horses!

-You know what I mean?
-Yeah.

-Hey, what's the matter?
-I don't know, Lyle.

[CRYING] I'm scared.
I wanna see my momma.

Hey, there's no chance of that,
we gotta keep runnin'.

Hey, shut up, razor-happy.

Hey, honey, why even bother?

Hattie never cared a lick
for neither one of us.

Listen, if you want to see her,
you're gonna see her, okay?

-Lyle, that is not safe.

-Of course it
ain't safe, darling.

But like I said,

if the little lady
wants to see her momma,

she's gonna see her,
now you just drive.

Are you sure
you're happy now, honey?

Never better, Momma.

The sheriff gave me a number
for you to call.

That's in case I saw you.

Hello, Hattie.

Hello, Pearl.

-Momma.
-He wants to talk to Lyle.

Now, he thinks that you
and Lyle are innocent.

Yes. Not like...

Not like who, Hattie?

Anyway, Bobbie Jo,
you keep it, huh.

He sounded nice, he did.

Hattie,
what's the real reason?

-Momma.
-PEARL: Come on, Hattie.

Bobbie Jo, well,
I gotta admit,

he said he'd give me $50
if I had you call him.

Hattie, you know, I just wanna
tell you one thing.

You have never changed,

and I don't know why I ever
hoped that you would.

Bobbie Jo, I need the money.

I know, Momma.
I know.

Listen, we gotta go, so, uh...

I'll see you later, okay?
I love you.

Goodbye, Momma.

I love you.

Bye-bye, baby.

[RADIO STATIC]

-Well, if it isn't our
good friend Sheriff Hicks.
-Oh, Jesus!

Y'all seen any of
these here people there?

Leroy, you go
take a check out back,

see what you can see there.

-Yeah, yeah, I know these folks.
-[TELEPHONE RINGING]

All right, listen, you all
stay here for about 60 seconds,

I'm gonna go decoy 'em.

When you hear one shot,
come out.

And you pack that trunk, girl.

[TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

They checked in
last night about 7:00.

They haven't been out all day,
as far as I know.

All right, which room they in?

Uh, hang on just a second.

Room number, uh, number 8.

No, no, they're in number 9,
number 9.

Are you sure now?

-Yeah, yeah, I'm sure.
-All right.

Are they dangerous, Sheriff?

They're Lyle Wheeler's gang.
You tell me.

[GRAVEL CRUNCHING]

-[FIRING]
-[GRUNTING]

Come on, they're down this way,
let's get 'em.

All right, come on out
with your hands up,

you muggin' thieves.

All right, that's resisting
arrest, let 'em have it.

All right, cover us, boys.
Come on, Deputy.

Oh, my God!
It's not them.

We just killed
three innocent people.

It's the Lord's will,
they was sinners.

Sheriff,
I made a mistake, uh...

The night manager sent them to
another room when I wasn't here.

Texas newspapers are offering
a reward for our hides.

Well, what about tomorrow, Lyle?

Now, don't worry,
pussy willow.

Tomorrow we're gonna
hold up in style.

Are we still going to
the Pueblo, like you said?

What do you think, Slick?

I vote we head down to Mexico,
just as soon as we can.

Oh, that sounds great.
I'd love a taco right now.

[SIGHS]

Well, I think we oughta
sleep on it tonight.

[WHISPERS] Hey, Lyle.

Lyle, hold me.

Lyle, make love to me
tonight.

What's going on with Lyle?

He has things on his mind,
Pearl, that's all.

He knows what's gonna happen,

just like I know
what's gonna happen.

It doesn't really bother me.

I'm ready for it.

The only thing
that bothers me

is that we're dragging you
into this, too.

You're not dragging me
into nothing.

Pussy willow, goddamn it,

I just don't want to see you
get hurt that's all.

Slick, you know all my life
everybody's always told me

that...
that I'm no good, right.

And you're the first person
who ever told me

that I'd ever amount
to anything.

I'll tell you something,
I am not leaving you.

You can go off and do whatever
you have to do.

But right now, I just wanna do
what I wanna do.

Five dollars and 53 cents.

-I'll draw you for it.
-What are you talking about?

-My name is Joe Grant.
-So?

Fastest draw in Texas.

Oh, is that a fact, now?

I recognized you right off
the bat. Lyle, right?

Yeah, yeah.
I never heard of you.

Took the championship
four years in a row in Texas.

My, my, my.

You're a real wiseguy,
aren't you?

Don't go away,
I'll be right back.

Stupid.

All right,
Lyle, make your play.

I think you're
making a big mistake.

Shootin' against the clock,
that ain't nothin'.

Drawin' against a man,
that's something.

Are you sure you wanna go
through with this?

Better draw, boy, 'cause I'm
gonna try to kill ya.

Lyle, what in the hell
are you doing?

Just payin' the bill, darling.
Get back inside.

All right, make your play.

No, I never drawed first
against nobody, Joe Grant.

You're gonna have to do that.

Give me a hundred dollar bill.

Maybe that'll help pay
for a decent burial.

Let's get out of here.
Come on.

[ENGINE STARTING]

Joe was about the best around
these parts, Mr. Grant.

Yep, none faster
in West Texas.

Sure sorry to see him go
this way.

Thank you for your time,
Mr. Grant.

Sheriff, I found this map
in the bar.

There's something in the margin
right here.

You wanna take a look?

Somebody wrote Pueblo there
several times.

Do you think it means anything?

Can't take a chance it don't.

Car's in good shape, Lyle,
ready to roll anytime you are.

Did you see Bobbie Jo?

Oh, she went to get us
some food.

Where, in town?

Come on,
don't worry about her, Lyle.

-Yes, ma'am, can I help you?
-Yes, sir.

[REGISTER CLICKING]

What you lookin' at?

You look familiar. Are you
Jack Kingman's daughter?

No, sorry,
I've never been here before.

I'll be darned.
I could swear I know you.

Nope.

-Come on, come on!
-Yes, ma'am.

-How much do I owe you?
-That'll be 3.85.

-There you go.
-I'm sure it's right.

3.85, four, five.

Put it in a bag, please.

SHERIFF HICKS:
All right, Lyle Wheeler,

I know you're in there.

And I told you
I was gonna get you,

and this time I got you,
dead to right.

Now you ain't got a snowball's chance in hell

of gettin' out of there alive.

Well, I'm gonna give you
10 seconds

to come out
with your hands up.

One...

two, three, four...

-Get low, goddamn it, get down.
-Five, six...

-Seven, eight, nine and 10.
-Get down.

Hey, Slick, this ain't...

Baby.

Oh.

[GROANING]

Sheriff, I found this book
on Western outlaws inside.

It's got a page marked.

Look here what it says.

"The biggest fool there is,

"is the one who thinks
he can beat the law,

that crime can be made to pay."

-Oh, please...
-"It never paid and never will.

And that was a lesson
of the Coffeyville raid."

Emmet Dalton.

You are a bastard!

You bastard!

[SPITS]

Get her out of here!

You fat pig!
