How about a tall, cool one?

Can't serve you nothing before noon.

Get you a beer right down there.

I got air conditioning.

But it's a hot spot.

50, 70, 75, 80 out of 100.

Thank you.

Well, well.

I appreciate all your help, but I'm just not sure if that's what I'm looking for

or not.

Well, of course, now, there's no extras on this car or nothing. You know what I

mean? You're not paying for a whole lot of things you don't need.

No power steering or nothing. I think it's about in your price range.

Yes, sir. Why don't you just give me a call?

Okay, then.

Hot day, isn't it? Yes, sir. Sure is. What's your name?

I'm Mr. Haynes. Mr. Haynes? Harry Maddox. I noticed you walking away from

new car over here.

Are you interested in buying a new car?

Yes, sir, I am. Well, you obviously know automobiles, because we've had this one

come back to us twice.

But I got one over here I want to show you. Well, let me see.

This here is the same car that I drive, and I got to tell you...

I have not had one minute's hard time with this car. Not one problem. Come in

here and jump right in there and see how that baby feels.

Yes, sir.

The styling on this car is just tremendous.

Who the hell is that guy out there?

Look,

I've got to get. I'm late for Little Lake.

Wave your hands around a lot and talk to me like you own the place. I do own

this place. What the hell do you think you're doing?

Selling a car.

Like hell you are.

I just did.

I got $100 off your down payment.

Now, the price is going to have to stay the same, partner.

But I want you to look at that low monthly payment.

That's the best you can do.

Buddy, you're not going to be able to do that anyway.

We got to do. All right, you old rascal, you.

I'll tell you what. Now, I believe you've got the finest automobile we've

the lot.

I believe it's my personal favorite.

I'm expected.

Where do I park this thing?

It's good.

Right where you're at.

I'm Gullick. I'm the other salesman.

You must be Mr. Maddox.

Harry.

How's business?

Pretty fair.

Well, tire kickers couldn't have much trouble finding a place.

That's for sure.

Shouldn't chew that stuff.

Bad for you.

I want you to go out with Miss Harper this morning.

Who's Miss Harper and go where?

There's a repo out in the county.

Deadbeat by the name of Sutton.

Don't take any guff.

Tired of chasing that son of a bitch all over hell and gone the first day of her

month?

Sorry. Nothing doing.

Our deal was for straight commission, remember?

What the fuck are you talking about?

I don't make any money running your errands for you.

Maybe you won't like this job.

Maybe I won't.

Mr. Harshal.

Gloria.

Uh, Gloria, Harper is Maddox.

Mr. Harshal, um, maybe I could just talk to Mr. Sutton.

Yeah. I've always managed to collect from him before.

Forget it, Gloria. You've got better things to do for me than run that SOB

every month.

I just thought that... Damn it, Gloria.

Sometimes I wonder who's running this place. Get the hell out of here. I'll

Lon to drive you.

I'll take her.

Oh, I thought you were suffering from too full a schedule.

It cleared up.

Why don't you make up your mind, God damn it, who you're working for? This is

business, not a club.

Where's the green LTD?

Think we ought to come in like this when he's not here?

Probably not.

A man married?

I don't think so.

He, uh... He gets his drinking water from the spring down behind the house.

I'm just gonna go down to see if he's there.

I'll go with you.

It's okay.

I'm okay.

You can just wait here.

We can come back later.

Oh, no, I found him.

He was down at the spring.

And he paid me.

Both payments.

Must be a fast talker.

Glad I don't owe you any money.

Folks looking for me?

Surely, Miss Harper.

Lord, a man of my type always enjoys talking to a woman of your evident

Sutton? Same.

Very same.

Miss Harper, ain't you gonna introduce me to your gentleman acquaintance there?

Another time, perhaps.

Please.

I think

I

can live with that.

Okay, you folks want to study for lunch?

Another time.

That was about as much fun as kissing a passed -out drunk.

I guess I just don't have Sutton's charm.

I mean, you liked him so much, you had to go back and talk to him twice.

Once at the spring, and, uh... All right.

Is that in a relative of yours?

Okay, kid.

Maybe I got it wrong.

Maybe I got it wrong.

I hope that's not that sleazy hotel I'm in.

I've got to get my suit insured.

Gloria, I'm Miss Harper.

It's my baby, Harry. Remember?

Did you get that car?

No.

I got paid, Miss Harper.

Laurie, you'll just have to do the whole damn thing over again next month.

I hope not, Mr. Harshal.

What was the fire down there, the gin?

Nope, hamburger going to the side of it.

Maybe I'll go take a look.

How about hanging around while I go to lunch?

Sure.

As soon as I get back some money.

Well, now you want to go to lunch.

What the hell did I do?

Just watch it.

um

Mr. Julian!

Mr. Julian!

Where the fire, Mr. Julian?

Where the fire?

Mr. Julian?

Nobody here, Dad.

Mr. Julian must be.

He always here.

I'm damned if I see him.

I hear the hook and ladder and all the people to -ing and fro -ing, but I can't

discover the fire.

Mr., you know where the fire's at?

At Hamburger Shack, down the street.

Thank you.

Well, I hope I didn't keep you waiting.

I guess I have to learn how not to take a crap when the sirens go off.

All my boys are at the fire.

All volunteer firemen.

Used to have a woman work here.

But she quit.

Damn.

You know, I have got to get that surveillance equipment working.

We hooked it up for the insurance, but the damn thing never has worked right.

Jesus Christ. Lucky you wasn't a bank robber.

Well, what could I do for you?

I'd like to open an account.

Of course.

Of course.

Always happy to welcome a new customer.

Let me find a pen to write with here.

Pencil will do.

Now, was that done?

Checking or saving.

Took your time, didn't you?

I'm going to lunch.

Why don't you give Gullick a hand with that car up there?

Hell with that.

What the hell is the matter with you, Maddox?

You got a grudge against the world or something?

Nope.

I'm a car salesman.

I want a job cleaning cars. I'll get one.

Oh, well, that may be a lot sooner than you think.

The rate you're going, what are you anyway? 35, 36, huh? Uh -huh.

Around there. Uh -huh, yeah.

Well, you sure as hell haven't set the world on fire so far, or you wouldn't be

hanging around a place like this.

Yeah, but I got ambition.

Yeah, I figure if I stick around selling jalopies for another 30, 40 years,

somebody will give me a testimonial and a $40 watch.

You want to watch that stuff with Harshaw?

He's a good man, but he's got a temper.

Is that a fact?

Of course, maybe he's got a reason.

Could I help you?

I was just looking for George.

George?

Mr. Harshaw.

I'm his wife.

You must be the new salesman.

Maddox.

Harry Maddox.

Sorry, Mrs. Harshaw, but your husband's gone to lunch.

Oh, damn.

Is there something I can help you with?

Well...

I hate to ask you. I mean, you're working and all.

I'm not hurting myself.

Well, if you really wouldn't mind, I've got some papers and some old clothes

that need unloading.

Sure. I'll be glad to.

Well, get in.

I have a pair of shoes like those.

I'd wear them more often.

They seem to be more effective than I remember.

It's often nice of you, especially since George shouldn't carry heavy things.

Why not?

Oh, he didn't tell you?

About his heart?

He's had two attacks already.

Doctor says he's got to cut back on everything.

That's why he hired you.

No, he didn't tell me.

Well, George never did like to go admitting certain kinds of reality.

Well, ain't you gonna put him down?

What?

You must know your own strength.

Here.

So what are you going to do in our town?

Whatever there is to do.

Well, there are only two things to do around here.

Have you got a TV?

Nope. Well, now you're down to one.

Lots of luck.

Good morning to you, Lon.

Howdy, bud.

What you in such a good mood about?

Son, it takes a lot of money to be free.

I'm gonna sell one of these thumb bitches to the first sucker that walks

today. You are, are you?

Yes, sir.

Well, now, how do you reckon to accomplish that?

It's your willpower.

In this life, you gotta take what you want.

Damn sure can't stand around and wait for somebody to give it to you.

I'm going to take what you want. That's good.

That's good. I like that.

You know what I always say?

What's that?

Look before you leap.

Oh, um, Mr. Harshaw's gone for the weekend hunting.

Said he needed the rest.

Yeah, and I got a notion from what?

I met her yesterday.

Yeah, Mr.

Harshaw met her in a real small town.

Hunting trip, in fact, I think it was.

He always said that she just sort of happened.

Mm -hmm.

Well, the smart thing would have been to get the hell out of there and let her

happen to somebody else.

Harsha Motors.

Mr. Maddox?

This Miss Harsha.

I hate to be a pass, but I was wondering if I could ask you just a teensy

-weensy little favor?

Well, sure, Mrs. Harshaw.

What do you need?

Mr. Harshaw's cap.

What?

Come on in.

The least I can do is buy you a drink.

Sorry the place is such a mess.

I gave the girl the weekend off.

That one thought he was stalking George.

Did he ever get a surprise?

Bang, bang.

I hope you like my time.

So, how do you stand in the excitement?

Well, maybe it picks up on Saturday night.

Oh, yeah, it does.

It'll show two vampire operas at the movies instead of one.

I could buy a TV.

Or you could join the ladies' club and collect trash.

Now there's a hot pastime.

I doubt if I could pass the credentials committee.

Not if you poached them one at a time.

You'd be lucky if you ever got your credentials back.

Which one lives over there?

Ms. Gross.

She's the one with the binoculars.

What do you think of the view?

Getting better all the time.

That's where the cool was gonna go.

Joe said I could have one if I was good.

But he said his family hadn't had one and what was good enough for them was

enough for us.

Oh, I meant to ask you about finding me.

Did I give you the right directions?

You find it in the dark.

Is that it?

I think you better leave.

Thank you.

Thought you said you lived in a small town.

Then you'd know that old bitch over there watched you drive in here.

And she's watching right now for you to leave.

I do.

Bad boy.

Bad. Bad boy.

I'm going to bed.

You can let yourself out.

How much? A dollar.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Here you go, hon.

Jake,

I need a double order of grits and some more toast over there.

All right, right.

Yeah, I'll be in a minute.

Here you go, baby.

Thank you.

Oh, nothing.

It's...

Silly. Would you... Would you like a soda?

Yeah, a soda.

You don't want a soda.

Yes, I do.

Yes, I do.

It'd be nicer on a hot afternoon than a tall, clean, cool soda.

All right.

He was a stranger in town, a rough man, mocking, sometimes cruel.

But Miriam saw past the tough facade to the bitter wounds that made him hide his

true self from the world. Well, I told you it was silly.

Oh, Junior, you'd better not read that stuff.

It's bad for you.

I'm sorry about the other day.

I must have the book open to the wrong place.

Oh, please.

But I realize later what it must have looked like.

My life's just been a succession of jams over floozies of one kind or another.

Forget how to treat a real lady.

They say we forget about the whole thing.

Start over. Make friends.

How about tonight?

Want to go for a ride?

Hey, look.

I have to get back.

I'll drive you home.

Just walking distance.

I'll walk you.

She's a wonderful woman.

The woman who raised me.

She's always taking people in.

Always feeding the whole neighborhood.

She had a daughter, a little bit older than me.

She was my best friend in the whole world.

Was?

Yeah, she died.

It's a bad time.

Stunky. Hey, look who's waiting here.

Hey.

You're very pretty.

Oh I'm just ordinary.

Ordinary.

Don't you ever knock.

Oh, and I'm not expected.

Oh, you were expected, all right.

I gotta moan moan to you baby.

That's pretty ballsy of you, Harry.

Just coming in my house like that.

What'd you done?

About to scream.

You didn't scream, did you?

Why don't you pour me another drink?

The hell there ain't.

What happened to it, I wonder?

Maybe it leaks.

No, Harry.

We're a lot alike, you and me.

We got these hard, hard outsides.

But inside...

We're hard, hard, hard.

Harry.

It's like I'm fired.

What now?

Well, you sure as hell ought to know.

You seem to like it at times.

It's my batting average always been for staying out of trouble.

And it's baited with this lunch trip.

Even zero.

You're insulting me.

No, I don't...

my little insult now and then.

As long as I'm sure it's just a little love play.

It isn't.

Where are you going, Harry?

Knocked out of my bed since I fell for you.

Now I come down with a heartbreak.

It's gonna take a doctor with a special degree.

Cause I need a love doctor.

I need a love indeed.

Recognize these?

The shoes, I mean.

I always wanted to be put up on the pedestal.

You are crazy.

How about your husband?

Oh, I take my opportunities where I find them.

Want to look at mine?

You can come up real close and get a real good look.

There's more fun than eating cotton candy there, but...

You're late.

I gotta go.

Is it late, Harry?

Got a light?

Home for lunch back at two.

Now, y 'all come on over here.

Come on. Come on.

This one here is my personal favorite.

Never mind this door being open. It's just sort of airing out the back seat.

have a look at the size of that back seat.

Climb on up in there, darling. Have a look at the size of that seat.

It's absolutely huge.

in there you lose half of them don't you just love a big seat i know i do

now i don't just show this to anybody

I got the bar.

there, Mr. Julian?

Please keep your business.

Oh, God!

Fuck.

Put me down! Put me down!

Abram was 70 in time.

Yes,

it is.

Oh, what the...

Thank you.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Harry.

You want to see my birthday cake?

It's your birthday?

Seriously?

Well, how old are you?

I'm 19.

Well, you look disappointed.

Did you want me to be older?

No, of course not.

I'm 36.

Wow.

Here.

Have a sandwich, you poor old man.

You have to keep up your strength.

Nice.

Thank you.

Happy birthday, Junior.

Junior.

Maddox? Who wants to know?

Sheriff's deputies.

Now, you're going to have to come along with us, so why don't you just make it

easy on yourself?

Now, let's go back to that first day that you arrived in town. You went to

bank, and there was a fire that day, too, I believe, wasn't there?

Yes, there was, now that I recall.

And when you went in...

There was nobody there at the bank, as far as you can see.

They'd all gone to the fire.

Yeah, that's right. And I believe you'd been told that the surveillance

equipment had been installed improperly, hadn't you?

But you never gave it another thought until there was a robbery and

another fire.

Only, I wasn't at the robbery.

I was at the fire.

Why don't you just go ahead and say it?

What are you talking about?

Your alibi.

He's sitting right there looking at you.

Oh, he remembers you from the fire. He remembers that big splash you made

that drunk.

Only, that was 20 minutes after the fire started.

After the robbery.

Nobody saw you at that fire until after the bank was robbed.

You know you robbed the bank. We know you robbed the bank. That makes it

unanimous.

You know you're never going to be able to spend this money.

We've got all the numbers right here.

You might as well give the money back. It would go a lot lighter.

The man won't listen to reason.

Lock him up.

He'll go home for a little while.

Do all this over tomorrow.

This is him. You sure?

Sure sounds like him.

He got a kind of a bleep.

Like a tea kettle.

Okay, Uncle Mort.

Thank you.

All right,

get these other guys out of here.

You stay.

Hello? Uh -huh.

Uh -huh. No, no, no, that's fine.

Okay, yeah, thank you for calling.

Bye -bye.

George Harshaw calling from Galveston.

He says that Mr.

Maddox was definitely at the fire the whole time.

Harshal.

I don't remember seeing him there.

No, he wasn't.

Ms. Harshal said if he drove up just as Mr. Maddox was getting out of his car,

not five minutes after the fire started.

Ms. Harshal.

I guess you're free to leave, Mr. Maddox.

Hi. Hi.

I heard you were in jail.

Yeah. It's okay now.

Just a mistake.

You got her straightened out.

They were just doing their job.

And I... I kept seeing your car out in front of my house.

All I could think about was our date at the pool.

I'll tell you what.

We'll do it again.

When?

Tomorrow.

But first, get in. I'll drive you to work.

Okay.

Hey. Excuse me, Miss Hoffer.

I wonder if I might trouble you for a moment of your time.

Maybe there's something I could help you with.

Harry.

I don't think so.

You think there's anything he can help us with, Miss Harper?

No, I guess not.

You see how it is.

Another time, perhaps.

We'll give you a holler.

Come on.

Please, Harry.

It's just a personal matter I have to discuss with Mr. Sutton.

Don't walk me to work.

Come on.

Yeah, buddy.

Chicken don't always lay its eggs in the same nest.

R.

Shaw Motors.

Wrong number. I guess.

Second time done that in the last ten minutes.

Ron, you know anything about a guy by the name of Sutton?

Sutton? Yeah.

Deadbeat repossession deal.

Yeah, yeah, I remember him.

I don't know much about him, though.

I think he used to work for Harshaw.

In fact, I think he was going to put in a pool or something, but I never did

hear any more about that deal.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers.

God, there's that guy again.

Must have come in to check that car out nine times.

Well, maybe ten times a charm.

Harsha Motors.

It's about time you answered.

I didn't expect you back so soon.

Did you have a nice trip?

Well, ain't you cute.

Been having a good time watching that little girl?

I didn't expect you back until Monday.

Well, I'll tell you all about that when I see you.

Harry, meet me about 10 tonight at this place I know.

I don't think I can make it.

Oh, don't you read.

Well. Isn't that too bad?

By the way, wasn't that lucky I saw you there the other day at the fire?

Just supposing I missed you.

What's the matter?

Don't tell me I'm slipping.

What'd you have to see me about?

Well, now I learned everything.

Well, if that's all it is, let's get on with it.

If we hurry, maybe we can catch the next train home.

I'll break it off.

What if I told you to go to hell?

Sunday school kid.

Thought you could leave me for her.

See?

You do like me, don't you? No.

Not even a little bit.

Isn't that funny?

I could have sworn you did.

But honey...

Before you get carried away with not liking me, I just remembered there was

something else I wanted to tell you.

What's that?

I always get what I want, Harry.

You got a husband who might have something to say about that.

Never mind him.

He got everything he paid for.

Know why we came back from Galveston so soon?

No, how could I?

He had chest pain.

Doctor in Galveston looked him over and says he has to have an operation.

Quick.

So why'd he go hunting today?

Oh, he always overdoes it when he's sick.

He practically can't help himself.

Doctor says if he has another one, it'll kill him.

So what's that got to do with me?

Anything at all.

Too exciting.

It's just... Yeah.

He had his first attack the first day he met me.

Harry.

Harry!

Harry! Harry!

Harry.

You gotta help me, Harry.

I won't have anything to do with it.

You're too worked up.

You're off your head. You don't know what you're saying.

You better find something to do.

Something to do?

Yeah, get a job.

Get a hobby.

Have a kid.

I don't know, do something.

Have a kid?

No, I don't want that.

But if I was pregnant with your child, I'll show you what I'd do about that.

I've done it before.

Give me a cigarette, Harry.

Poor old Harry.

He don't like me.

You lousy little witch.

What's it got to do with liking you?

I told you we were a lot alike, didn't I?

Now lean down, Harry.

You want to kiss me, don't you?

Kiss you?

I'll kill you.

I swear to God I'll kill you.

No, you won't.

Not now.

Now kiss me.

Gloria?

You okay?

Look... Remember... I started to tell you about...

About the girl that I grew up with?

One guy.

But I... What I didn't tell you is that... She killed herself.

And Sutton drove her to it. He did it.

She's my sister.

I really love her.

She finally told me.

She'd been having an affair with a woman who was a teacher of ours.

And they'd been meeting in Houston.

Somehow Sutton found out.

He seems to know what people's weaknesses are.

And he was blackmailing her.

But I... I went to her.

Just... Just to comfort her.

Sutton was there.

He'd been there the whole time.

Taking pictures of us.

Said to Irene that he had real pictures now.

What have we been doing in that bedroom we shared when we were girls?

And came to my office after Irene died.

Looking for money.

He had the pictures.

But he was very clever.

He didn't act like a blackmailer.

He whined and...

He said he felt terrible about what had happened to Irene, that he was a poor

man, couldn't scrape a living in the world,

that it was his only chance for survival, and that if he didn't have the

just $500 to leave town, that he would go to my mama, give her the

pictures, ask her for the money.

I hid it there.

I gave him the money.

And once he did, he knew that I'd taken it.

And he asked for more.

He kept coming back, and I just... I couldn't catch up after a while.

I'm going to tell Mr. Harshal.

I don't want something to tell him.

I don't... I don't want for anyone else.

Wow.

Well, well, well, well, well.

Come on in.

Mike's stepping home.

Have a seat.

You're a tough guy, huh?

No, you're the tough guy.

I'm worse.

It's not loaded.

Well, how about that, huh?

So tell me, what, uh, what seems to be your problem?

I mean, not that I'm nosy or anything.

Gloria Harper.

You've been on her back now for over a year.

Oh, Lord Almighty.

Oh, that little gal got you all stoked up, didn't she?

See, you drove yourself all the way out here just to tell me to get off, huh?

Is that right?

I wouldn't do better than that.

You like these pictures?

Goddamn.

Come

see

me, Harry.

I'll meet you anywhere.

Come see me tonight.

Night, Venture.

What's on your mind?

I'll make it short and to the point.

George says you're getting serious about Gloria Harper.

You think you're going to ditch me for that saccharine little candy after

got another thing coming?

I don't think you've got much to say.

So that's the way it is, hey?

That's it.

You're going to wish to Christ you never laid eyes on me.

I already do.

Not yet.

Not really.

But you will.

God damn it, Dolly.

These women's club meetings drag on.

George, you're drinking and smoking.

The doctor says you couldn't do neither.

Jesus, Dolly, one of each isn't going to put me over the top. You know, I've

been thinking.

Good thing for Maddox.

Gloria Harper.

Huh?

He ought to get real smart.

marry her.

George? She's young, fresh face, look like an ad writer's dream of the all

-American girl.

Why don't you pour me a drink?

And she's a woman that you can trust, too. You know what I mean?

Uh -huh.

That's real important to a man.

George, I'm so tired.

Why don't you pour us both a drink?

Come on in my room tonight.

Rub a little bit of that night cream on my shoulders.

You can do that.

Can't you, George?

Hmm?

I'm so tired.

And I'm so hot.

You know, I've been thinking.

I know I've been a bad wife.

But now...

I'm gonna be very, very bad.

How bad exactly?

Mama's real angry with you.

She's more angry than she's ever been.

I've just got one more, and then we can

get down to business.

Guess what?

All these things I'm doing to you, I done to your boy.

Over and over again.

What's the matter, George?

Don't you like the game, George?

Don't you feel well, George?

Well, maybe Mama can make it all better.

Don't pay no mind to the way my face looks.

Fell out of bed.

What's on your mind?

Say goodbye to the car.

Why don't you just pay for the one you got?

That's all right. I'm going to trade mine in on the new one.

Like perpetual motion, huh?

Trade in the car you don't own for one you can't pay for.

Well, I kind of had my eye on that Lincoln out front.

What are you using for money?

You ain't got it yet, do you?

See, now why should I make another payment on the car when I'm going to

in on the new one?

See, I was thinking maybe you and me could take that Lincoln out for a little

test drive.

Now listen, you stupid bastard.

I don't know what you're driving at, but I can get a belly full of you quicker

than most.

So why don't you get wise to yourself?

Shove. You fall out of bed one more time and the cockroaches will start talking

to you.

That was a hell of a fire, wasn't it?

What are you talking about?

It's the day they had the fire. I was walking along here about...

Oh, half hour after the fire started.

I've been over there watching, but fires blow the hell out of me after a while.

I mean, where I sit, there ain't no money in them.

At least that's what I thought then.

You take a smart son of a bitch like you, boy, he knows there's money in

doesn't he?

How about getting to it?

You got to get that sheriff thinking that you got to the fire at the same

as the fire trucks did.

Otherwise, you're in real trouble.

See, you got to tell everybody the same story.

I know.

I got in trouble with more little gals that way.

Of course, I hang around with a more female type of woman myself.

Sit your ass down.

I'm real happy with my new face, Mr. Sit down.

Let's talk about the money.

I'll tell you what.

I'm going to let you drive my new Lincoln.

My personal favorite.

I'll be by on Monday to pick it up.

Along with the bread.

How do I know you'll go?

You don't.

Didger's gonna have to trust me.

He wanted $500, Harry.

You didn't give it to him, did you? No, I didn't.

Not yet.

I don't have it in the office today.

Gloria.

Gloria. Yeah? Don't you even think about giving it to him.

Blackmailers are all the goddamn same. Each bite is always the last until the

next one. I know.

Except there's something else now, Harry.

He told me that he knows something about you, something bad.

Harry, what is it?

Baby, don't even worry about it.

Listen to me.

Whatever you do, don't pay him.

Do you understand me?

And Haran died before his father Terok in the land of his deputy in Ur of

Chaldea. I guess when he died, the stone was his place.

And Haran died in Haran.

Thank you.

Mmm.

Wait. Wait.

What'd you do? Tell her you're going to send me to jail? I told you to stay away

from Gloria Harper.

And you made her bring you the fucking money, you sick bastard.

Gloria.

Yeah, she is here.

Right on that bed.

You know what we was doing?

She ain't have bad for a girl that goes both ways, you know?

Tooth. I'm gonna fucking tooth.

Yeah, the minute a guy like Sutton came in here and paid cash for a car, I got

suspicious.

The more I thought about it, the less I liked it.

These numbers match up all right.

Lucky for me.

And lucky for you.

Lucky for me?

Yes, sir.

There's a reward connected to the solution to this particular crime.

Not a bad one either by most folks' standards.

$25 ,000.

Mr. Maddox?

Sheriff?

Harry.

How soon can you be ready to leave?

Leave? For the Caribbean.

Just you and me.

A wedding ring. Did you say wedding ring?

Will you go?

Yeah, I'm addict.

Harry, you'll never guess what's happened.

George is dead.

What? The hospital just called.

Well, you know he was working too hard and overexerting himself.

Well, his heart just gave way.

You might say he died in the saddle.

But you know...

He was concerned with my welfare right up until the very end.

And I was wondering if you might be free to come over and discuss it as soon as

possible. Tell it to Gullick, Dolly. I'm out of here.

Goodbye, Mrs. Harshaw.

Harshawn Finance.

Lon, that was Mrs.

Harshawn.

Mr. Harshawn's dead.

He died of a heart attack.

Oh, no.

Oh, God, that's awful.

Think he can take over?

Um, well, yeah, I could, but, I mean, ain't you gonna be here, too?

Not with any luck.

Excuse me a minute, Lana.

Harry, that was Miss Harshal.

Mr. Harshal's dad.

Harry, I never got a chance to tell him. It's okay, baby. It's okay.

I just told Miss Harshal that we'd be right over.

I have a few things I want to go over with her.

I don't think that's a good idea, baby.

Harry.

I have so much to look forward to.

I have to be clear with the past.

I have to do that.

Absolutely right.

Gloria, I want you to promise me something.

We're going to the Caribbean.

You promise?

Yeah.

Nothing anybody's gonna do is gonna stop us.

Harry.

I just have to tell you one thing before we go in. It's okay, baby.

You don't have to tell me anything.

Well, I know that you told me not to.

But I gave Sutton that $500.

I already know.

And we don't even have to discuss it.

I just don't want to lie to you. That's all.

About anything.

Thank y 'all for coming.

At

least

he didn't suffer much.

He was in the hospital unconscious for almost 24 hours.

I heard him out in the hall up there and...

I guess he must have started downstairs for something, and he just fell all the

way to the bottom.

So I ran to him, but I was so scared, half out of my mind, really.

And then I fell, too.

Mr. Maddox, don't you feel well?

I feel fine.

I'm all right.

Well, I know you've been wondering about the business, I mean.

I wanted you to know right away that I had no intention of selling out.

George thought a great deal of both of you, and I'm going to try to carry on

just the same because it's what he would have wanted.

I guess he knew that...

It could happen any time, because he kept this little notebook, and

he'd write down all his ideas on how he wanted the business carried on.

I typed it all up.

Since you're in charge now, Mr. Maddox, I think you should read it.

And you too, Miss Holliday, if he thinks you should.

See, I thought it was so important I even left a copy with my attorney.

Now, as for that shortage in your accounts, Miss Harper,

now, I know you'll understand that Mr. Maddox was only doing what he thought

right when he told me about it.

And, of course, I wouldn't think of bringing charges.

You can just... Continue right on the way you have been till it's all taken

of.

I want you to know, dear, that we're your friends and that Mr. Maddox hated

having to do it just as much as I hate having to mention it now.

Harry insisted that you be given another chance.

I understand, Miss Harsha.

Of course.

I always intended to pay it all back.

So...

If

there isn't anything else, you won't mind if I leave, do you?

Of course not, dear.

I'd rather walk.

Oh, Harry darling.

I don't think you'll ever have much luck explaining it to her.

Sutton didn't know.

He wasn't even at the fire.

You told him.

Or did you?

You'll have to beg now.

You had your chance.

Now I'm going to enjoy hearing you beg me to marry you.

See, you have to look after me, Harry.

Kiss me, Harry Kiss me, Harry

Kiss me.

In this life, you gotta take what you want.

I always get what I want, Harry.

Yes, indeed.

I found my level.

And I'm living it.

Bye -bye.

Thank you.
