[ Man Narrating ]

OUR PASSIONS ARE LIKE

FIRE AND WATER--

GOOD SERVANTS

BUT POOR MASTERS.

THE LEGEND OF CHILE VERDE

TELLS OF MEN AND WOMEN...

WHO BECAME SLAVES

TO THEIR PASSIONS.

THEY PAID THE PRICE

HERE UNDER THE BLISTERING,

BURNING, BLAZING,

SCORCHING, ROASTING,

TOASTING, BAKING, BOILING,

BROILING, STEAMING,

SEARING, SIZZLING,

GRILLING, SMOLDERING,

VERY HOT NEW MEXICO SUN.

FOR THERE IS A SAYING

IN THESE PARTS:

THOSE WHO LUST IN THE DUST

SHALL DIE IN THE DUST.

[ Groaning ]

MY GIN !

OH, MY GOD.

I'M GONNA DIE

FROM THIRST OUT HERE.

[ Braying ]

OH, NO !

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?

[ Cawing ]

ONLY A FEW MORE LITTLE MILES.

A FEW ITSY-BITSY, EENY-WEENY

LITTLE MILES,

AND THEN YOU COULD DROP DEAD,

YOU MISERABLE HUNK OF SHIT.

[ Braying ]

[ Sighing ]

OH ! OH, YEA,

THOUGH I WALK

THROUGH THE VALLEY

OF THE SHADOW OF--

THROUGH THE SHADOW

OF DEATH VALLEY--

OH, CHRIST,

I USED TO KNOW IT.

- [ Braying ]

- WATER. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ?

WATER !

AGUA. GRACIAS, MARIA.

MADRE DE DIOS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?

WHO ARE YOU ?

WHERE'D YOU COME FROM ?

I SAID, WHO ARE YOU ?

PUT THAT DOWN.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ?

IT'S ME, ISN'T IT ?

YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE

ADVANTAGE OF ME.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE

YOUR FILTHY WAY WITH ME UNDER

THE HOT DESERT SUN, AREN'T YOU ?

YOU'RE GOING TO RAVAGE ME

LIKE I'VE NEVER BEEN

RAVAGED BEFORE,

YOUR HOT SWEAT

SLIDING OVER MY BODY

AS WE ROLL IN THE DUST,

[ Moaning ]

AS YOU VIOLATE

MY INNERMOST PARTS,

AS YOU POUND AGAINST ME

IN ORGASMIC ANIMAL PASSION.

OH, GOD,

YOU'RE DISGUSTING.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?

DON'T LEAVE ME

OUT HERE, MISTER.

OH, I BEG YOU.

MY ASS IS ON ITS LAST LEGS.

I'LL DIE. I'VE GOT

NOTHING TO EAT.

[ Gunshot ]

[ Bird Screeching ]

THANKS.

[ Whistles ]

PLEASE, MISTER, DON'T GO.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME.

MISTER ! MISTER !

YOO-HOO !

OH, MISTER, I'M LOST.

YOU'VE GOTTA HELP ME.

PLEASE !

OH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[ Panting ]

I'M ROSITA VELEZ.

EVERYONE CALLS ME ROSIE.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME ?

YOU WOULDN'T BE HEADED

TOWARDS CHILE VERDE, WOULD YA ?

PASSING THROUGH CHILE VERDE ?

[ Panting, Chuckling ]

MIND IF I COME ALONG ?

THANKS. I GOTTA BE CRAZY

BEING OUT HERE ALL ALONE,

BUT I WAS DOING JUST FINE

TILL I MET UP WITH THAT

HARDCASE WILLIAMS AND HIS GANG.

YOU EVER HEAR OF HIM ?

PUERCOS, ANIMALES.

I'LL TELL YA, MISTER,

I'VE HAD SOME TOUGH SCRAPES

IN MY LIFE,

BUT THIS ONE'S BEEN THE WORST.

IT WAS YESTERDAY EVENING.

I WAS FEELING GOOD.

I WAS HALFWAY TO CHILE VERDE,

AND I HADN'T GOT LOST ONCE.

OH, GOOD AFTERNOON, GENTLEMEN.

TRUST IN THE LORD,

AND HE SHALL PROVIDE.

COULD YOU TELL ME,

IS THIS THE RIGHT ROAD

TO CHILE VERDE ?

[ All Laughing ]

FUNNY LADY.

BEING A LEADER OF... MEN...

IS A VERY SOLITARY BUSINESS,

MISS.

I'VE BEEN VERY CONCERNED

ABOUT MY MEN'S LIBIDOS...

UNTIL YOU SO CONVENIENTLY

CAME ON THE SCENE.

I'M AFRAID

I DON'T UNDERSTAND, SIR.

ARE YOU SPEAKING ENGLISH ?

¿¿ ESO ES INGLES ?

POONTANG, POONTANG.

THAT ANY CLEARER,

LITTLE LADY ?

MY CURSE IS THAT I'VE RECEIVED

THE EDUCATION BEFITTING

THE SON OF A BOSTON PREACHER,

MAY HE ROT IN HELLFIRE.

BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU GET

THE THRUST OF MY MEANING.

MY MEN ARE AS HORNY

AS JACKRABBITS.

[ Chuckling ]

ISN'T HE CUTE ?

[ Screaming ]

[ Men Chuckling ]

HURRY UP, BOYS. WE GOT

A FORTUNE IN GOLD TO FIND.

HELP ! HELP !

NO, WAIT, STOP !

I'M A... VIRGIN.

[ Horse Whinnies ]

A VIRGIN ?

REALLY ?

THAT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

THEN I'LL GO FIRST.

[ Sneezing ]

[ Continues Sneezing ]

I'VE HAD CARNAL KNOWLEDGE

WITH 215 WOMEN AND TWO GOATS.

[ Sneezes ]

AND A CHICKEN ?

HUH ?

[ Mutters ]

BUT NONE OF 'EM

HAVE EVER MADE ME--

[ Sneezes ]

SNEEZE BEFORE.

I'M SORRY, SIR.

IT MUST BE MY PERFUME.

IT'S IMPORTED.

FROM WHERE ?

[ Sneezes ]

"MOBERGE, FRANCE."

I YIELD, BOYS.

SHE'S ALL YOURS.

IT WAS TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE.

THEY HAD THEIR WAY WITH ME

FOR HOURS.

THEY JUST WOULDN'T STOP.

ANYONE LIKE TO TRY AGAIN ?

HOW ABOUT YOU,

YOU LITTLE MEXICAN CHIHUAHUA ?

NO, LADY,POR FAVOR.

PLEASE, GO AWAY.

DON'T BOTHER ME.

- [ Speaking Spanish ]

- WHAT A BUNCH OF DEADBEATS.

[ Braying ]

[ Coyote Howling ]

[ Farting ]

[ Moaning ]

[ Moaning Stops ]

HMM ?

ALWAYS THE LITTLE ONES

GOT SOMETHING TO PROVE.

- [ Moaning ]

OOH !

[ Moaning Continues ]

AHH !

[ Bones Cracking ]

[ Sneezes ]

WHEN HE TRIED TO TAKE

ADVANTAGE OF ME AGAIN,

I HIT HIM OVER THE HEAD

WITH A ROCK AND GOT AWAY.

SO TELL ME ABOUT YOU.

YOU EVER BEEN TO CHILE VERDE ?

ME NEITHER.

I HEAR THEY GOT A CANTINA.

I'M GONNA GET ME A JOB

SINGING THERE. I ALWAYS

WANTED TO BE A SINGER.

I'VE BEEN WORKING

IN A HARDWARE STORE IN SANTA FE

SINCE I WAS 14.

OKAY, SO I WAS

A DANCE HALL GIRL, OKAY ?

I HAD TO LOOK AFTER MYSELF.

I NEVER KNEW MY REAL PARENTS.

MEN ARE CRUEL SONS OF BITCHES.

DID YOU KNOW YOUR DADDY ?

YOU PROBABLY NEVER HAD ONE.

[ Sighing ]

OH, BOY, I'VE JUST BEEN

TALKING AWAY ABOUT MYSELF.

YOU SURE KNOW HOW TO WORM

A GIRL'S SECRETS OUT OF HER.

MAYBE I'LL FIND ME

A RICH HUSBAND IN CHILE VERDE.

HOW MUCH FURTHER

IS IT ANYWAY ?

IT'S SO HOT.

I'D BE BETTER OFF TALKING

TO CACTUS KAPLAN OVER THERE.

[ Braying ]

OH, COME ON !

OH ! I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE

SOMETHING THAT BEGINS WITH "C."

GIVE UP ?

CHILE VERDE !

I CAME 200 MILES FOR THIS ?

YOU STOPPING HERE LONG ?

"MARGUERITA'S." IT SURE AIN'T

THE SANTA FE OPERA HOUSE.

[ Gasps, Moans ]

OOH.

THIRSTY ?

[ Screams ]

- [ Screaming ]

- TELL ME WHAT THE HELL'S

GOING ON AROUND HERE.

WE HEARD HORSES. WE THOUGHT

YOU MIGHT BE HARDCASE WILLIAMS

AND HIS GANG.

WORD'S OUT THEY'RE BACK

IN THE TERRITORY.

THEY SURE ARE.

MA'AM ?

- SOMETHING WRONG ?

- NO, MA'AM.

I'M RICHARD BARKER.

MOST FOLKS AROUND HERE

CALL ME "RED DICK."

- ON ACCOUNT OF MY HAIR.

- OH. I'M ROSIE VELEZ.

I SING.

AND WHO MIGHT YOU BE, SIR ?

HE DON'T TALK MUCH.

WHERE IS EVERYBODY ?

THEY'LL COME BACK AS SOON AS

I GIVE 'EM THE SIGNAL.

WHO OWNS THIS DUMP ANYWAY ?

MARGUERITA VENTURA.

SHE NEED A SINGER ?

DID LINCOLN NEED

JOHN WILKES BOOTH ?

MARGUERITA DOES

HER OWN SINGING.

IT'S OKAY.

ESTA BIEN, AMIGOS.

HI, PARTNER.

HOW.

HOLA.

HI, GRAMPS.

BUENOS DIAS.

HI, HANDSOME.

[ Burps ]

[ Men Chuckling ]

[ Men Chattering ]

GUESS YOU

WHAT'D YOU SAY

YOUR NAME WAS ?

I DIDN'T.

[ Door Crashing Open ]

[ Laughing ]

¿¿ QUIEN ES ?

WHO ARE YOU ?

HEY, GRINGO.

I ASKED YOU A QUESTION.

WHAT'S A MATTER ?

YOU EARS NO DAMN GOOD ?

I ASK YOU A QUESTION.

MAYBE YOU EARS,

THEY NEED A WASHING.

- "JES," A WASHING.

- [ Crowd Gasping ]

AY, AY, AY.

AHHH !

THAT'S BETTER, HUH ?

YOU RIDE IN HERE

WITH YOUR WOMAN--

WE HARDLY KNOW EACH OTHER.

QUIETE !

PINCHE PUTA.

WE DON'T LIKE-A STRANGERS

IN CHILE VERDE.

IT MAKES US, EH, NERVOUS.

SO, IF YOU TELL ME

YOUR NAME, MAYBE--

MAYBE I LET YOU LIVE.

ADIOS, ROSE.

DRAW, YOU COWARD !

DON'T !

HE'S A GUNFIGHTER.

YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS, WOMAN !

IF HE DRAWS,

YOU'RE A DEAD MAN.

ARE YOU SURE ?

SI.

SO, YOU THINK

YOU'RE A GUNFIGHTER ?

YOU LOUSY GRINGO.

THIS TIME I LET YOU GO,

IF YOU TELL ME YOUR NAME.

IT'S A MATTER OF HONOR.

THESE PEOPLE--

THEY ARE MY FRIENDS.

THAT'S THEIR PROBLEM.

AY, CHIHUAHUA !

[ Groaning ]

FREEZE, HOMBRE,

OR I'LL BE WEARING

YOUR ASSHOLE FOR A GARTER.

ALL RIGHT,

PUT IT AWAY REAL SLOW.

HANDS UP.

WHAT HAPPENED, BERNARDO ?

HE SHOT MY AMIGOS.

DROP 'EM.

NICE PAIR

OF JINGLE-BOBS.

THANKS.

FAIR FIGHT ?

ACCIDENT ?

ACCIDENT. THEY MOVED.

- NO !

- OH, SHUT UP, BERNARDO !

BERNARDO HAS THIS HABIT

OF GETTING INTO THINGS

THAT HE CAN'T FINISH.

MAYBE HE LEARNED

HIS LESSON THIS TIME.

[ Whispering Mockingly ]

SO, UH, WHAT'S YOUR NAME,

HANDSOME ?

I'M ROSIE VELEZ.

I SING.

IS THIS WITH YOU ?

WE RODE INTO TOWN TOGETHER.

SOON AS I'VE HAD A DRINK,

I'LL BE LEAVING... ALONE.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY,

SHOW'S OVER !

TEQUILA.

DO YOU LIKE

WHAT YOU SEE, SENOR ?

I AM THE BEST FRENCH-KISSER

IN CHILE VERDE.

IF I COME ACROSS A FRENCHMAN,

I'LL BE SURE AND LET HIM KNOW.

-TURISTA.

- WANNA BUY A GIRL

A DRINK, COWBOY ?

IF I TOLD YOU ONCE,

I TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES,

DO NOT ANNOY THE CUSTOMERS.

SORRY, MARGUERITA.

IF ANY BLIND GUYS COME IN,

THEN THEY'RE ALL YOURS.

YOU WOULDN'T BE

HARDCASE WILLIAMS,

WOULD YOU, BY ANY CHANCE ?

WE'VE BEEN EXPECTING HIM

TO COME--

EXCUSE ME.

I'LL BE HAPPY

TO BUY YOU A DRINK, MA'AM.

WHAT'LL IT BE ?

WELL, THANKS. GIN.

THEY CALL ME BIG ED.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU, MA'AM.

NAME'S WOOD-- ABEL WOOD.

ABEL WOOD ?

WHO IN THE HELL

IS ABEL WOOD ?

- FIXING TO STICK AROUND ?

- FIGURE I ALREADY WORE OUT

MY WELCOME.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO FRESHEN UP

BEFORE YOU LEAVE,

WE'VE GOT THE ONLY SHOWER WEST

OF THE MISSISSIPPI OUT BACK.

MIGHT BE NICE.

MARGUERITA.

THE CUSTOMERS CALL ME

MARGUERITA.

THE TERRITORY CALLS ME

MARGUERITA.

MY REAL CLOSE FRIENDS--

OOH, I LOVE

DO YOU THINK HE'S HERE

[ Sighing ]

THERE'S GOT TO BE

[ Chuckles ]

¿¿ ESTA PREPARADO, SENOR ?

MARGUERITA.

[ Sighs ]

HE'S DECIDED TO STAY.

FINISHED, HONEY ?

YOU COULD EAT OFF THIS FLOOR,

AND YOU PROBABLY WILL.

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN

SINCE YOUR LAST CONFESSION,

MY SON ?

ABOUT TWENTY YEARS.

AY !

I JUST HAD TO GET

A FEW THINGS OFF MY CHEST.

LET'S SEE.

FIRST, THERE WAS, UM,

THIS GIRL IN EL PASO,

HER MOTHER

AND HER GRANDMOTHER.

PSSST !

[ Kissing Sounds ]

THEREAREOTHER WAYS

OF EARNING YOUR KEEP

AROUND HERE, YOU KNOW.

I'D RATHER DIE FIRST.

WHY, SUGAR, YOU MUST'VE

DIED A THOUSAND TIMES.

[ Laughing ]

DON'T MESS WITH MARGUERITA.

SHE'S BAD NEWS.

WHY DO YOU STAY HERE ?

I GOT NO PLACE ELSE TO GO.

WHY DON'T YOU DO WHAT I DID

AND BUY A MULE ?

WITH WHAT ? THERE AIN'T

NO WAY I'M EVER GONNA MAKE

THAT KIND OF MONEY.

I USED TO DREAM

THAT SOMEONE LIKE MR. WOOD

WOULD COME ALONG...

AND TAKE ME AWAY

FROM ALL THIS.

BUT I KNOW THAT AIN'T GONNA

HAPPEN NOW. DO YOU THINK

HE CAME FOR THE GOLD ?

THE GOLD ?

DID I SAY "GOLD" ?

I MEANT "MOLD." DO YOU THINK

HE CAME FOR THE MOLD ?

WHAT GOLD ?

MANY MEN LIKE HORSES,

MY SON.

BUT DOC HOLIDAYREALLY

LIKED HORSES, FATHER.

WHAT DO YOU THINK

HE WAS DOING IN THE OKAY CORRAL

THAT EARLY IN THE MORNING ?

GET ME ANOTHER BOTTLE.

ROSIE, DON'T YOU THINK

YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH ?

I KNOW WHEN I'VE HAD ENOUGH.

I FALL ON THE FLOOR.

HONEY, THIS STUFF ISN'T GONNA

SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS.

AIN'T NOTHING GONNA SOLVE

MY PROBLEMS EXCEPT--

YOU GOT A DRESS

I CAN BORROW ?

SURE. COME ON.

[ Coyotes Howling ]

AY, MI AMORCITA,

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

I WANT YOU ALWAYS.

I DIE FOR YOU,AMOR.

FORGET IT, FORGET IT.

BERNARDO, FORGET IT.

I GOT OTHER PLANS.

YES, I KNOW YOUR PLANS.

YOU WANT TO JUMP

ALL OVER THAT STRANGER.

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW

WHERE HE HAS BEEN !

I SURE AS HELL KNOW

WHERE HE'S GOING.

I AM GOING TO...

CUT HIS HEART OUT !

AND THEN THERE WAS

THE TIME WITH THE TWO

LOCKJAW INDIAN MAIDENS.

YOU MEAN CHOCTAW INDIANS,

MY SON.

THERE ARE NO

"LOCKJAW" INDIANS.

THERE ARE NOW.

MY FRIENDS, MEXICANS,

MEMBERS OF THE CHILE VERDE

ROTARY CLUB,

THE STRANGER IS TOO BIG

FOR HIS DAMN BOOTS !

ARE WE GOING

TO STAND FOR IT ?

ARE WE ?

WE ALL KNOW WHY HE'S HERE,

DON'T WE ?

HE'S AFTER THE GOLD.

- [ Chattering ]

- THE GOLD OF CHILE VERDE.

THAT IS WHAT THIS ABEL WOODS

IS AFTER. ARE WE GOING

TO GIVE IT TO HIM ?

- ARE WE ?

- [ All ] NO !

- NO !

[ Spanish ]

- [ Yelling ]

I DO NOT LIKE

THE WAY THEY ACT.

OH.

[ Gunshots ]

LET THEM HAVE THEIR FUN.

[ Yelling ]

[ Nuns Whispering Prayers ]

FATHER, I HEAR A LOT OF FOLKS

TALKING ABOUT GOLD.

KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT ?

[ Chuckling ]

I KNEW THAT'S WHY

YOU WERE HERE.

THE LEGEND OF THE GOLD

KEEPS THIS TOWN ALIVE.

THAT IS WHY

THEY ARE ALL HERE.

THESE ARE

RUTHLESS MEN...

AND WOMEN.

TAKE CARE, MY SON.

I ALWAYS DO.

MM, THEY'RE ALSO

VERY STUPID.

SOME OF THEM HERE FOR YEARS,

AND STILL THEY CANNOT SOLVE

THE PUZZLE.

WHAT PUZZLE ?

THE LIMERICK.

UNTIL THE LIMERICK IS SOLVED,

THE GOLD WILL NEVER BE FOUND.

JUST-- JUST HOW DOES

THIS LIMERICK GO ?

"THERE WAS A YOUNG FELLOW

FROM SCOTLAND...

"WHO ROBBED

THE NEW MEXICO HOT LAND.

"IN A GRAVE SITUATION,

"TWO BUTES-- HIS SALVATION--

HE BURIED THE GOLD,

BUT IN WHAT LAND ?"

YOU BELIEVE THIS LEGEND ?

WHO WAS IT SAID,

"SUPERSTITION IS THE RELIGION

OF FEEBLE MINDS" ?

SCHOPENHAUER ?

NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

[ Chuckles ]

PLATO ? NIETZSCHE ?

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

THEY BELIEVE THE LEGEND

BECAUSE THEY WANT TO.

GREED.

THANKS, FATHER.

THANK YOU,

MY FRIEND.

VAYA CON DIOS.

BE WATCHFUL.

[ Horse Neighing ]

OOH, WHAT'S THE MATTER ?

OOH, THERE NOW.

AND WITH ONLY

THREE WHORES IN IT.

ONE OF 'EM'S JUST

A SENILE OLD COW,

NO OFFENSE, HONEY.

THE OTHER ONE'S SO NEW,

SHE DOESN'T KNOW

WHICH END TO USE.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MAKE YOU ?

THE ONLY WHORE IN CHILE VERDE !

- [ Grunting ]

- [ Laughing ]

YEAH, I CAME HERE

FOR THE GOLD,

'CAUSE I'VE BEEN POOR

ALL MY LIFE.

YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG, HONEY.

YOU'VE BEEN CHEAP ALL YOUR LIFE.

CHEAP ?

THIS FURNITURE'S CHEAP.

[ Screaming ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Sneezes ]

WELL, WELL, IF IT ISN'T

OLD THUNDER THIGHS.

WE WERE LOOKING FOR.

SORRY WE DIDN'T GET HERE

SOONER, ROSIE,

BUT WE HAD TO MAKE

A LITTLE DETOUR

AT DOC CARSTAIR'S.

- [ Grunting ]

- WHO THE HELL ARE YOU ?

-I THINK I CAN SAY WITH SOME

MEASURE OF CERTAINTY...

THAT WE ARE THE MEANEST

SONS OF BITCHES YOU EVER LAID

MARGUERITA.

THIS IS MY CANTINA.

CHARMED.

MY NAME IS

HARDCASE WILLIAMS.

LET'S GO.

WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME ?

VENGEANCE IS MINE,

SAYETH THE LORD.

I WILL REPAY--

ST. PAUL'S EPISTLE

TO THE ROMANS,

CHAPTER 12, VERSE 19.

OF COURSE, ST. PAUL

NEVER HAD A DISCIPLE

GOT HIS NECK BROKE...

BY A SLUT

FROM A SANTA FE WHOREHOUSE.

OH, I LIKE THIS HOMBRE.

I AIN'T GOIN' ANYWHERE.

IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE.

[ Grunting ]

EASY, CLARENCE, EASY.

THERE'LL BE PLENTY

OF TIME FOR THAT LATER.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU KEEP MOVING ?

WHAT ?

[ Grunting ]

I SAID, WHY DON'T YOU

JUST KEEP MOVING ?

ABEL, THANK GOODNESS. THESE MEN

WANTED TO TAKE ME AWAY.

AIN'T THAT GRAND ?

SO, YOU GOT A BOYFRIEND,

HUH, ROSIE ?

LISTEN HERE, ROSIE'S BEAU !

WE NEED HER TO FIND THE GOLD !

WHAT DO YOU KNOW

ABOUT THE GOLD ?

SEARCH ME.

THAT'S WHAT

WE AIM TO DO.

DO NOT BE AFRAID, MY SON.

THEY WILL NOT SHOOT

WHILE I AM BESIDE YOU.

HA ! DON'T COUNT ON IT,

FATHER.

IT'S A GOOD DAY FOR ME

WHEN I GET TO KILL A PRIEST.

I'LL BE IN THE CHURCH.

WELL, HOW DO YOU

WANNA DO THIS, MISTER--

WOOD--

ABEL WOOD.

FLIP A COIN.

WHEN IT HITS THE DIRT,

START SHOOTING.

SOUNDS GOOD.

- FLIP AWAY.

- I AIN'T GOT A COIN.

THINGS ARE HARD ALL OVER.

ADIOS, MR. WOOD.

BUT REMEMBER: THE DAY

OF THY DEATH IS BETTER

THAN THE DAY OF THY BIRTH.

THAT'S...

[ Clears Throat ]

ECCLESIASTES,

CHAPTER SEVEN, VERSE FIVE.

YOU DIDN'T THINK

THE BOYS AND ME--

THE BOYS AND I...

OUR RESPECTS, DID YA ?

DID YA ?

I DIDN'T NOTICE

MURDERED SWINE.

HE DIDN'T TELL ME

I'M NOT GONNA HURT YOU !

SO WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT

WE'LL DISCUSS

A BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP.

WHAT DO YOU SAY ?

IT'S MY ASS.

THERE'S ENOUGH THERE

FOR BOTH OF US.

PROMISE YOU WON'T SHOOT ?

ON MY MOTHER'S GRAVE.

IT AIN'T WORTH NOTHING,

I SWEAR.

WHAT ?

MY TATTOO.

IT'S ONLY HALF A MAP.

WITHOUT THE OTHER HALF

IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS.

[ Stammering ]

I'LL BE.

THAT'S WHY I CAME

TO CHILE VERDE.

DON'T KILL ME, PLEASE.

YOU PROMISED

ON YOUR MOTHER'S GRAVE.

SO I DID.

YOU'LL BE SORRY TO HEAR

THAT OLD BITCH IS STILL

ALIVE AND KICKING.

OH, PLEASE,

THERE WAS A YOUNG FELLOW

FROM SCOTLAND,

WHO ROBBED

THE NEW MEXICO HOT LAND.

"IN A GRAVE SITUATION,

TWO BUTES-- HIS SALVATION."

"THEY BURIED THE GOLD,

BUT IN WHAT LAND ?"

TWO BUTES HIS SALVATION--

BUTES.

TWO BUTES.

[ Knocking ]

YEAH ?

SORRY TO DISTURB YOU,

MR. WOOD.

YOU MUST'VE HAD A HARD DAY

CHASING OUTLAWS.

ALL THAT HEAVY LIFTING.

- WHAT COULD I DO

FOR YOU, BIG ED ?

- I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU...

THAT YOU'RE THE FINEST MAN

I EVER MET.

YOU'VE BEEN REAL NICE TO ME,

AND I WON'T EVER FORGET IT.

THANKS, BIG ED.

GOOD NIGHT.

OH, I HOPE YOU GET

TO ABILENE ONE OF THESE DAYS.

THANKS.

[ Knocking ]

YEAH ?

I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW

THAT IF I FIND THE GOLD,

HALF OF IT'S YOURS.

- WHY WOULD YOU DO

A THING LIKE THAT ?

- BECAUSE YESTERDAY MORNING--

OH, HONEY--

THAT WAS THE BEST SHOWER

I EVER HAD.

[ Whispers ]

I'LL BE BACK...

LATER.

OH, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME

SINCE A MAN LIKE YOU

CAME TO CHILE VERDE.

OH ? HOW LONG ?

A WEEK.

[ Chuckles ]

MAYBE LONGER.

YOU DON'T GET MANY OF ME

TO THE POUND.

HAVE A DRINK.

MM-HMM.

OOH, GEEZ.

[ Slurping ]

MMM.

[ Knocking At Door ]

YEAH ?

CAN I COME IN ?

YOU ALWAYS WANTED ME,

HAVEN'T YOU ?

EVER SINCE FATE

FIRST BROUGHT US TOGETHER.

OH, SAY IT'S TRUE.

I KNEW IT.

OH, ABEL, MY DARLING,

SAY NOTHING.

LET'S JUST

SAVOR THIS MOMENT.

[ Sighs ]

I'D LOVE TO SEE YOUR,

UM, WOUND.

UM, BIG ED LOOKED AT IT

JUST TEN MINUTES AGO.

WELL, ISN'T SHE

THE LUCKY ONE ?

WHY DON'T WE

TAKE THESE OFF, SHALL WE ?

[ Zipper Unzipping ]

GOODNESS.

IT'S GETTIN' BETTER

EVERY SECOND.

YOU STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.

I'M GONNA GET YOU

SOME FRESH BANDAGES, OKAY ?

[ Stammers ]

WELL, I AIN'T GOIN' NO PLACE--

UH, ANYPLACE.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST

HEARD ABOUT THE LEGEND

A COUPLE MONTHS AGO,

I REALIZED THEN

THAT THIS TATTOO MIGHT HAVE

SOMETHIN' TO DO WITH THE GOLD.

I SOLD EVERYTHING I HAD

AND BOUGHT THAT STUPID MULE.

[ Laughs ]

SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE HAS

THE OTHER HALF OF THAT MAP

ON THEIR BODY,

AND I NEED YOU

TO HELP ME FIND 'EM.

IT COULD BE A...

[ Whispers ]

WOMAN.

I'LL SHARE EVERYTHING

WITH YOU-- EVERYTHING !

WHAT DO YOU SAY ?

WITH THE TWO HALVES OF THE MAP

ANDTHE LIMERICK,

WE'LL HAVE ALL THE PIECES

OF THE PUZZLE; WE CAN RIDE

OUT OF HERE TOGETHER !

WE'LL BE RICH BEYOND MY--

OUR--WILDEST DREAMS !

WELL, THAT'S

THE WHOLE STORY.

I LOVE YOU

WITH EVERY OUNCE OF MY BEING.

[ Whispering ]

OH, ABEL, GIVE IT TO ME.

[ Crashing ]

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

THIS WILL ONLY TAKE A MOMENT,

AND THEN, OOH--

HEY, BE CAREFUL

WITH THOSE SCISSORS.

-OKAY, BIG BOY,

ONE MOVE OUTTA YOU, ONE LIE,

AND I'LL BE WEARIN'

YOUR JINGLE-BOBS FOR EARRINGS.

[ Scissors Snipping ]

[ Gasps ]

NOT IF YOU FOLLOW MY DRIFT.

NOW, WHY DID YOU

COME BACK HERE FOR ROSIE, HUH ?

IT WASN'T FORLOVE,WAS IT ?

- SHE HAS A MAP.

- WHAT MAP ?

COULDN'T WE DISCUSS THIS UNDER

MORE FAVORABLE CIRCUMSTANCES ?

NO, YOU JUST KEEP TALKIN'.

TATTOOED ON HER ASS.

OH, MY GOD.

SO MUCH FUN, I DECIDED

NOT TO DISTURB YOU.

HOW'D YOU FIND OUT ?

SAME WAY YOU DID.

NOW, THIS HERE WAS

ONE SMART SON OF A BITCH.

HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD

RECOGNIZE THE MAP OF SCOTLAND

ON TWO SEPARATE REAR ENDS ?

TWO BUTES--

ONE IN SCOTLAND,

THE OTHER ONE HERE.

OR TWO BEAUTIES--

THE LADIES.

[ Muttering ]

YOU BASTARD !

YOU FIGURED ALL THAT OUT,

DIDN'T YOU, MR. WOOD ?

- YOU'RE SMARTER THAN SHIT.

- I BEEN AROUND.

I'M GLAD YOU USED

THE PAST TENSE ON THAT.

GOOD SENSE OF TIMING.

[ Cocks Gun ]

ADIOS. DO YOU WANT IT

IN THE HEAD OR THE HEART ?

[ Gunshot ]

HOLD EVERYTHING !

BACK OFF.

WELL, I'LL BE DAMNED.

- THERE'S ENOUGH HERE

FOR EVERYBODY.

- LIKE HELL THERE IS.

I BEEN LOOKIN' FOR THIS GOLD

FOR YEARS, AND I AIN'T

SHARIN' IT WITH NOBODY.

YOU UNDERSTAND ?

IT WAS MY ASS

THAT WAS TATTOOED-- MINE !

OURS !

DROP IT !

[ Hardcase Sneezes ]

I KNEW IT !

[ Sneezes ]

JUST GIVE ME ONE EXCUSE

TO KILL YA-- JUST ONE.

ALL MY LIFE I'VE BEEN

RUNNIN' AROUND SANTA FE WITH

A STRANGE BIRTHMARK ON MY BUTT.

YOU COULDA ADVERTISED

IN THE PAPER OR SOMETHIN' !

I FIGURED IF I HUNG AROUND

CHILE VERDE LONG ENOUGH,

THE OTHER HALF WOULD

SHOW UP SOONER OR LATER,

BUT I NEVER IMAGINED

IT WOULD BE ON SUCH

A LOWLIFE, SLEAZY, NO GOOD--

SHUT UP !

GET BACK !

THIS ISNOTFAIR !

OH, GO AHEAD.

IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS,

I'D SURE LIKE TO SEE WHAT IT IS

WE ALL CAME HERE FOR.

DAMN ME.

BULL... SHIT !

- MIND IF I TRY ?

BE MY GUEST.

[ Creaking, Snapping ]

[ Gasping ]

COME AND GET IT.

GET AWAY FROM THAT GOLD !

EVERYBODY MOVE AROUND

A LITTLE BIT.

FATHER, AM I EVER GLAD

TO SEE YOU.

DROP THE GUNS, PLEASE.

THIS IS STOLEN TREASURE.

I THINK WE KINDA

FIGURED THAT OUT OURSELVES,

YOU OLD FART.

CACTUS KAPLAN, RIGHT ?

HE ROBBED THE LAS CRUCES BANK.

A POSSE TRACKED HIM DOWN,

SO HE BURIED THE GOLD WHEN

HE FOUND HE COULD NOT ESCAPE.

- WELL, HOW COME WE GOT

TATTOOS ON OUR ASSES ?

- HE DEVISED THE LIMERICK,

AND HE PUT THE LAST--

THE VITAL-- CLUE...

ON HIS INFANT DAUGHTERS.

HE WANTED YOU SISTERS

TO HAVE THE GOLD.

[ Together ]

SISTERS ?

THE KAPLAN SISTERS ?

OY VEY.

YOU GIRLS WERE BROUGHT UP

BY SEPARATE FOSTER FAMILIES.

- HOW COME YOU KNOW ALL THIS ?

- WHEN I WAS A RABBI, I MARRIED

LUPITA AND CACTUS KAPLAN.

LOOK, CAN WE START

SHOOTING EACH OTHER NOW ?

NO OFFENSE, FATHER.

IT'S A VERY INTERESTING STORY,

BUT I'D LIKE TO TAKE THE GOLD

AND GET OUT OF HERE !

YOU HEARD THE FATHER.

THE GOLD IS OURS.

THAT'S HOW OUR DADDY WANTED IT.

I SOMEHOW DON'T FEEL

THAT'S THE FATHER'S INTENTION.

FOR 33 LONG YEARS

I'VE BEEN WAITING

FOR THE PIECES TO COME TOGETHER.

HAVE YOU ANY IDEA

WHAT IT'S BEEN LIKE--

WAITING IN THIS CESSPIT

FOR 33 LONG YEARS ?

[ Laughs ]

SOME PEOPLE WOULD HAVE

GIVEN UP.

SOME PEOPLE HAVE

GONE CRAZY, BUT NOT ME.

OH, NO, NO, NO, NO.

BECAUSE I KNEW--

I KNEW THAT ONE DAY...

CACTUS'S LITTLE GIRLS WOULD

COME RIDING INTO CHILE VERDE,

AND I WOULD BE RICH !

RICH ENOUGH TO CAST THE DUST

OF THIS FORSAKEN LAND FOREVER

FROM MY SANDALS.

OH, I'M GOING TO TRAVEL--

LONDON, PARIS, VIENNA...

AND THEN-- THEN ROME !

THE VATICAN !

I'M GOING TO BE A POPE !

THIS MAN'S OATS AIN'T

ALL IN HIS FEED BAG.

OH, YE OF LITTLE FAITH.

IF THERE'S ONE THING I HATE,

IT'S A PUSHY PRIEST.

[ All Cock Guns ]

I DON'T SUPPOSE ANYONE WANTS

TO SPLIT THIS FOUR WAYS.

MARGUERITA.

WHAT ?

YOU'RE MY BIG SISTER.

I CAN'T KILL YOU.

THERE'S ENOUGH

FOR BOTH OF US.

MMM. ¿¿ Y ESTOS ?

LOS MATAMOS.

HUH.

SHE SAYS THEY'LL KILL US.

LUCKY THING I SPEAK SPANISH.

HOW DO I KNOW

YOU'LL SHOOTTHEM?

TRUST ME.

OH, NO.

[ Sneezes ]

GO AHEAD AND SHOOT.

YOU CAN'T.

I KNOW WHY.

ABEL, ALL THOSE THINGS I SAID

TO YOU LAST NIGHT WERE TRUE.

- IS THAT WHY YOU WANTED

TO KILL ME JUST NOW ?

- THAT WAS A TRICK TO FOOL HER.

THIS WOMAN'S UNBELIEVABLE.

SHE JUST WANTS TO PUT YOU AWAY

LIKE SHE DID RED DICK.

SHUT UP, YOU DECEITFUL SLUT !

DON'T LISTEN TO HER.

I AIN'T LISTENING

TO EITHER OF YOU.

ABEL,

YOU AND ME--

WE'RE TWO OF A KIND.

- HA !

- WHEN WE MADE LOVE,

IT WAS FIREWORKS EXPLODIN'--

BIG, LONG ROMAN CANDLES

SHOOTIN' OFF INSIDE ME.

- WHEN WAS THIS ?

- THE DAY YOU ARRIVED

IN CHILE VERDE.

WE DID IT IN THE SHOWER,

AND IT WAS THE--

[ Gasps ]

IN THE SHOWER ?

HOW COULD YOU ?

SEEMED LIKE THE THING

TO DO AT THE TIME.

YOU MEN ARE ALL THE SAME.

- YOU AIN'T GOT

NO BRAND ON ME.

- BUT I LOVE YOU.

[ Cries Out ]

YOU BITCH !

WHERE WAS I ?

OH, YES.

ABEL, I LOVE YOU.

GOD KNOWS I'VE TOLD YOU

ENOUGH TIMES.

THEN PROVE IT.

THROW YOUR GUN DOWN.

I'LL BE DAMNED.

I REALLY MEANT IT.

OH, OH, ABEL.

ADIOS, SUCKER.

[ Screams ]

[ Gunshot ]

SHE WAS GONNA KILL YOU.

I COULDN'T LET HER DO THAT.

SO, YOU WERE THE ONE

WHO SAVED ME BEFORE.

TWICE.

HALF OF THIS

BELONGS TO YOU.

ALL I NEED IS ENOUGH

TO GET ME TO ABILENE.

THANKS, BIG ED.

CALL ME EDNA.

[ Rosie ]

ABEL !

I HOPE YOU WON'T LET

A LITTLE THING LIKE THIS

COME BETWEEN US.

OH, SURE, WE'VE HAD

OUR LITTLE UPS AND DOWNS,

BUT IT'S STILL NOT TOO LATE.

OH, ABEL,

CAN'T WE STILL BE FRIENDS ?

GIVE BIG ED EVERYTHING.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE GOLD.

OW !

[ Panting ]

BIG ED !

BIG ED, HONEY !

I DON'T BLAME YOU

FOR WANTING ME DEAD.

YOU ARE OLD, UGLY,

AND I'LL SEE YOU GET

JUST WHAT'S COMIN' TO YA.

ABEL--

ABEL, MY LOVE !

ABEL !

WHAT'S THE USE.

[ Gunshot Echoes ]

[ Cawing ]

OH, WELL.

MAYBE HE'LL BE BACK TOMORROW.
