Eddy,

do you know how much

I hate running?

[thud]

I mean I really hate it.

How about you, Vince?

Reggie, I was coming

to see you, man.

[grunts]

I gave you some extra time,

and I normally don't do that.

Do I, Vince?

You really disappointed me,

Eddy.

You promised me

and you let me down.

You looked me

straight in the eye

and promised that

you will pay up.

That was a month ago.

Have I seen you since?

No.

I provide a service

to our community.

People get in bad situations

and come to me for temporary,

the key word being here,

temporary

financial assistance,

and in order for me to continue,

it is imperative

that I get repaid.

Do you understand?

Do you really understand?

Yeah.

Good.

You've got till

five o'clock today.

Don't do that shit to me, Eddy.

Don't do that.

Get it to me by five.

[breathing heavy]

Give my regards to Jeannie.

And stop screwing

around and marry her.

[thud]

[traffic passing]

Look,

I wish I could help you out,

pal, but-

[smack]

Damn it!

Piece of junk never opens.

[beep]

You have a gift my friend.

Look, why don't you, uh, just

ask Frank for an advance?

Maybe he'll understand.

Yeah, right.

Never even met the guy.

You never know.

So how's Jeannie?

Huh?

Jeannie, your fiancée?

Fine, I guess.

I gotta think.

I mean, where am I gonna

get $6,000 by five o'clock?

-Seventy-two.

-What?

Seventy-two hundred.

You know, you forget about the

interest on six thousand?

Thanks.

Sorry.

Wait, wait.

What did you just say

to me a minute ago?

What do you mean?

Getting something from Frank.

An advance?

That's it.

An advance!

That's not a bad idea.

You're really gonna ask

Frank for an advance?

I mean, that's all it would be,

just an advance, right?

No harm in that.

What's today?

Wednesday.

Nah, the date.

The 29th.

Why?

Oh, I guess Jeannie's

getting pretty excited.

Big day and all?

I guess she's used to it by now.

She's a good one.

Yeah, she's a peach.

I'm a lucky guy.

[traffic passing]

Done.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think

we have a new world record!

So?

What do you think?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

You look like a million bucks?

But...

I said I wanted

to look like her.

Well, you do!

Sort of.

I don't think so.

Look, I'm gonna let you

in on a little secret.

You don't want to

look like that.

I don't?

Nope.

Yes, I do!

Look at her, she's-

She's not real.

You take away the airbrushing

and the makeup and

the expensive clothes.

Besides, you've got something

that she would die for.

What?

A little something

called natural beauty.

You wouldn't happen to have one

of those airbrushes, would you?

Trust me, you're gonna break

a lot of hearts tonight, hon.

I mean that!

Thanks.

Who's up next?

[whistles]

Go away.

Maybe I want to order something.

Maybe I don't serve scum!

Frank's moved your due date up.

Get lost!

I don't make the rules, pal.

You're lying.

What have I got to lie about?

I get paid the same no

matter when the pick-up.

You know how many

times I've been robbed?

Seventeen.

Seventeen times I've had a club

waved in front of my face,

a knife at my neck,

or a gun at my nose.

Is this gonna be a long story?

I've got other stops.

You know, what if I call Frank

and ask him what's going on?

Maybe you're trying

to play him and me.

Want me to dial

the number for you?

[slam]

Thank you.

I'll tell Frank how

cooperative you were.

Well, first of all, I'm only

telling you what I've been told.

I make no claim to its accuracy.

Oh, those are the best kind.

Sorry, continue.

Alright.

Well, at one time,

most all of this country

was owned by a

handful of wealthy ranchers.

Some cattle, mostly oil,

but a lot of money either way.

Well, there was this one rancher

in particular that had a

beautiful daughter, and he

caught wind that his little girl

had gone sweet on some old

boy from across the river.

Him?

Yeah.

Well, that didn't set

too well with him,

so he told her she wasn't

to see him no more,

and that didn't go

so well either

because they'd just sneak off

and meet right down there.

And that went on for some time,

until one of his ranch hands

spotted them and went

straight back to the old man.

Well, he figured, the only way

to fix this situation was to

take her as far away from

this place as possible.

So he decided to ship her off

to boarding school up north.

Well, one of the house cooks

overhears this

and tells the girl.

It was at this point that they

realize the only way they

can be together was

if they got hitched,

you know.

So on the evening before

she was to be packed off,

they'd meet up right there

at that spot, cross over,

and make it official

before her old man even

knew she was missing.

Well?

She never showed.

What happened?

Nobody knows for sure.

Poppa could have

gotten wind,

cold feet.

Nobody knows.

Why would he keep doing this?

I guess he just figures

she'll show up one day.

Maybe she will.

Maybe he's just everyday crazy.

It'll be getting dark soon.

What do you think?

About what?

About him holding onto something

that happened a long time ago?

I'll go with crazy.
