Original subtitles

Good evening.

I've been replacing a loose board in the steps.

Someone could have had a nasty fall, and we certainly don't want anyone to get

hurt.

This, of course, needs no explanation.

This one passenger model now seems quaint, but prior to the introduction of

more efficient methods, this was the best way our ancestors had to cope with

population explosion.

Notice the raised platform.

This was placed in the center of a courtyard or other public place, and men

could crowd around with their ladies to watch criminals being put to death.

Of course, we do the same thing today, but we call it a drive -in movie.

And now for a modern institution, which instead of driving audiences in,

drives them out.

After which, our story.

Oh, I must be getting deaf.

I didn't hear anybody drive up.

Nobody did.

Don't. Don't do it.

Put it all in there. Fill the cycle up with the door.

There isn't very much. I'll count it later.

car keys.

I haven't got any car keys. I saw a truck out there.

But you didn't look good.

I tore the motor out. I'm overhauling it.

Turn out your pocket.

Now listen.

You're running out of time.

You see?

No car keys.

I suppose you were checking out for the night, huh?

That's right.

Well, you stay open a while longer.

Somebody with a big, fast car might drive up.

Get down on the floor, flat on your face.

Put your hands behind your back.

Outside. Hurry it up.

Move. If I can use this car, you drive.

Hold it.

This is far enough. A little bit.

Get out.

I can't believe that you'd kill me, too. Yeah, you too.

But I won't say anything.

I can't take that chance.

I was listening to the radio.

Descriptions of the men who escaped.

It said that one was shot in the arm.

Yeah, yeah.

Ray Barney. That's me.

You could kill me just like that? Just like that. Just like him back there.

makes you think you're any different because you're a woman?

Well, it doesn't make any difference now. Out. Get out. Please listen to me.

You're wounded and then you must be tired too tired to drive You want to get

away, and I want to live isn't that how it is so let me drive for you. Just let

me drive It's no good maybe you're not thinking straight What have you got to

lose you've got a gun? I can't talk or do anything while I'm with you if you

stopped If you stopped it might look less suspicious if I were with you It

It might.

Till you opened up your mouth. But I won't do that. I won't do anything like

that. I just want to live.

I'll do anything.

I'll do anything you say.

Anything you want.

Start doing it.

There's three spots up ahead where the money road blocks up.

Can you say something?

I said my name is Lisa.

The U .S. 16 is just ahead.

Make a right on 16.

But that's a bad road.

There's probably a roadblock up at the intersection of 3 and US 44. Now, we can

skip that if you make a right on 16.

But I just came through there. There isn't any roadblock.

If you could just trust me a little, maybe you could rest.

Later, I'll rest.

Why should I lie to you?

There was a roadblock that just killed me, wouldn't you?

You know I would.

And you don't want to die now, I know.

Later, maybe, but not now.

Everybody wants to live.

You take that guy back at the gas station.

He wanted to live, too.

It lights up the head.

That's just too bad for you, Lisa.

But it can't be a roadblock. I just came through there. You want to live so

much? Just keep going.

Cut it straight and fast and don't stop.

You see?

All right.

So you made your point.

Take the next turn off.

You don't want to leave the highway.

Take the next turn off. But that's a rough road.

I want a rough road. It'll help keep me awake.

These smooth highways would put an owl to sleep.

If you have to stay awake, there's some tablets in the glove compartment.

Go ahead. They'll keep you awake.

It might be stay -awake pills, and it might not.

They could be sleeping tablets.

Maybe even cyanide.

Oh, for heaven's sake, give me some of those pills.

Not that I need them.

So you could be used to it.

Taking so many that a few more wouldn't bother you.

I'd give up.

That's good. But keep talking. It helps keep me awake.

When's the turn up?

Left front tire.

The man at the garage told me last week it should be changed.

Well, you gotta change it now.

You got tools?

Of course. Well, then change it.

You think I can't? I'd make book on it.

I have to get in the trunk.

Take a closer look

Quite

a cookie it looked like rook see if the showboats got any friends

You need assistance from the dragons, baby?

I can manage just fine, thank you.

Hey, Rook.

She can manage just fine, thank you.

She don't want any help from the dragons tonight.

Nobody else to help her, Rook.

Queen Guinevere is all alone.

With nobody but us dragons.

Hey, doll.

How come you don't want us dragons to help you?

Let it rock.

She's gonna spoil those pretty white hands.

Yeah, cook.

She'll get calluses.

Come on, doll.

It ain't bright.

It ain't polite to let a lady do dirty work.

Keep away from me.

You hurt me, doll.

You gotta learn better.

You best go loose and dance with us.

If you want that pretty face open with the edge of this belt buckle.

Say goodbye to the bulk bucket, doll.

You're going for a real fast ride.

Hey, Rook.

There's a guy in the car.

Yeah.

Hey, doll, who's the guy?

He ain't move, Rook.

Maybe he's loaded.

Hey, doll, what's your guy on?

Chicken glass?

Let it go, Fretzel.

I don't use a knife or a gun, Mr. Deere.

Just my belt.

Sometimes my boots.

Okay, warlord, so you got a big mouth.

You know, sitting in that car ain't even a gentleman.

You're a punky.

You're a chicken.

You're a chicken.

Well, Lord, I'm going to give you a slow ten count to get these two creeps and

go back to your butterfly collection.

Or you're going to end up with a ventilated head.

This is it, Mr. Baird.

You need a close shave, maybe.

Gather up this punk and shag out of here

I just couldn't afford to lose a driver, that was all.

Well, you didn't ask for help.

Well, I thought you didn't want to be recognized.

And you could have gotten away.

Could have gone through the brush or something.

You said you only wanted to live.

Maybe it's more than that. I don't know.

Maybe we have something in common.

You don't want to go back there?

I don't want to go back either.

I think maybe you're right.

They might have recognized me and they could blow the whistle on me.

We gotta get out of here.

I can't tell what road you're on from this minute.

Please, Ray, let's stop at a motel.

Nobody will see you. A few hours rest.

I'll get us something to drink.

There's a first aid kit in the car. I keep one for emergencies.

I can bandage your arm.

I'll fix everything.

I'll fix everything.

And sleep.

Sleep as long as you want.

Sleep.

It'll be all right, Ray.

You can rest.

Get a good long sleep.

Where are we?

It's all right. Don't worry.

How long have we been here?

Not long.

Well, it could have been long enough.

You're still here.

I waited till you woke up to see if you wanted to rent a cabin for a while.

A cabin.

I can check in for both of us. No one will see you.

I'll be overdone if I don't ease up.

I can't stay awake anyhow.

So why not be comfortable?

Why not?

Go ahead.

Check in, of course.

his place to retire, and I haven't had a night's sleep or a weekend off since

the war ended, and that's a fact.

For five dollars, I have a very nice single.

Cabin five.

I need a double, please.

You ain't alone, honey?

No. I thought you were. I didn't see him. My husband, he isn't feeling well.

Oh, I understand, honey.

Cabin six, two doors down, and that'll be seven dollars.

I'll help you with your luggage.

Oh, no, no. You see, we don't have any luggage. We had to leave in such a

You don't have to explain, honey.

Whoever wrote that, you know, the world being full of a number of things and

all. Well, they should have run a motel.

It's all right.

They don't ask questions in a place like this.

They can ask some questions.

About what, Ray?

About you.

Later.

Right now, I'm going to fix that arm of yours, and then you're going to get him.

Good long rest.

I'll do that.

Sorry.

I know it must hurt so much.

I'm getting used to it.

You know, I'm really a very good nurse.

I don't understand you.

Well, when I was 16, I got married.

It wasn't a very good marriage.

I had a rough time of it.

It was years before I got over it.

And then I met Fred.

It was a wonderful thing with Fred.

I won't try to explain.

How wonderful it was.

We were so happy.

Maybe you never knew about that kind of happiness.

Well, I'll never know it again either.

That boy you killed back at the filling station was waiting for me to pick him

up.

That was Fred.

That was my Fred.

I never thought of it.

I never thought of it.

You could have gotten away and gone to the cops.

Do you think I wanted them to do it?

That should teach you men never to accept a ride with a pretty girl.

And judging from this instance, it did Lisa no good either. The law is not kind

to those who mete out their own justice.

Now it is time for you to view a brief institutional announcement.

As for me, I shall be hanging around at its conclusion.

Thank you for bearing with me all this time.

Next week, we shall return with another story and three well -chosen words from

our sponsor.

Until then, good night.
