( erratic beeping )

( siren wailing )

( indistinct chatter)

Thanks for the ride.
Been a million laughs.

You showed
your appreciation.

Wasn’t hard to do.

Where to now?

Wherever the sun
or the road map takes me.

One place, one town,
the same as the next.

Story of my life.

You staying
around here long?

Well, it depends on
what the man in there says.

And if he says no?

Well, I’ll follow the sun
or I’ll find somebody else

that’s got a road map.

Thanks again.

My pleasure.

Take care now.

Next fellow you pick up

might not have my kind of
polite manners.

It’s nice of you to have
my interests at heart.

Well, it’s not exactly that,
see? Uh...

I knew a girl one time,
all she did was go out

and park one night
with a blind date.

A year later,
she had to get a divorce.

Coward.

No, the thought of something
like that happening to me

could turn me into a real
hard‐type fellow to find.

Don’t lose any sleep.

Forget it.

I’m a big girl. I stopped.
I picked you up.

I gave you a ride.

( car engine starting )

Like you said,
a million laughs.

Hey, wait a minute,
I don’t even know your name.

Can I help you?

Yeah, my name is Mitch Barton,
Continental Transport.

I got to see Nelson.

Nelson’s office.

Hello, Margaret?

There’s a Mitch Barton here
from Continental Transport

to see Mr. Nelson.

Yeah.
That’s right.

Right.

Right through here
and turn right.

Just take care of that for me,
will you, Jack?

Sure and, uh...

you take care of this
for me too, will you, Jack?

Oh, okay.

There ya are.

Hey, where’s
Nelson’s office?

Over there.

Right here?

Thanks.

Hey, Farley!

You gonna drive this stuff out
or you gonna float it?

Oh, forget it...
pigeon.

( wolf whistle )

Quite a rocket.

Oh.

Mm.

Such strength, you must take
lots of vitamins.

Where do you want this?

Over there.

You, uh...

you must be
Mitch Barton.

You’re marvelous.

You don’t know
how marvelous.

Mr. Barton, Mr. Nelson.

Wow, so Walker
changed his mind.

How are you?

Why didn’t he call and say
he was sending somebody?

You’re really
taking off, huh?

Taking off? Ha.

Old plan.

Machinery, officer equipment,
personnel.

All that goes airlift,
but the other stuff...

Walker’s got to have those
trucks and drivers in here

ready to move out
the second after.

Well, you’re kind of
in trouble, Mr. Nelson.

What kind of an
understatement is that?

I mean, finding somebody
to haul your cargo out of here.

Yeah, all these
trucking outfits

have got me climbing
a wall, all right.

Now, look, Barton,
I want these drivers

briefed till it comes
out of their ears.

They got to know this road
like it was their own skin,

every bump, every turn,
every little...

You did say, you were from
Continental Transport...

Walker did send you?

Well, not exactly.

Not exactly what?

I mean, not exactly
with Continental.

I used to be‐‐
I was up till three days ago,

and then Walker
fired me.

I’ve got my neck in a sling
for about ten million dollars

if I don’t get this plant moved
and operating in time

to meet a government
deadline.

And you’ve got the gall
to bust in here

making me think
Walker sent you.

Now get out before I call
security up to blast you out.

Now, you ought to
take it easy, Nelson.

I know about the troubles
you’ve been having around here.

I got a friend, see,

she’s a kind of
a close personal friend...

Walker’s secretary.

So I know about
the explosions you had

and I know about that
runaway rocket

that cracked up.

I know you got to move this
plant out of here, too,

before the town
moves it for you.

That’s if there’s any town
left by then.

Wow, you got yourself
quite a little grapevine.

That’s right.

What else?

Well, Walker
would shrink

his own mother’s head
for a buck.

He’d even run the risk
of getting the insurance

canceled on his trucks
and his drivers.

So if he turns down this haul,
it must be pretty hot.

Not too hot for you?

Well, I’m not allergic
to a buck, either.

Only I got no insurance
to lose‐‐

no trucks, no drivers,
no nothing.

Trucking outfit with no trucks
and no drivers.

Bargain, eh?

Right.

Now, you’ve got a deadline,
haven’t you?

You need three trucks
and six drivers.

Walker was the bottom
of the barrel,

and it’s too late for you
to put out a call

for wildcat drivers.
You can’t risk that anyway.

Now, I know trucks
and I know drivers.

I can smell them.

You supply the trucks,
and I’ll dig up the drivers

for you right here
in your own plant.

Whatever you got to haul,
I’ll haul it where it’s going.

Okay, sport.

It’s your
ten million bucks.

I just came
looking for a job.

You want me,
I’ll be around.

What I saw of this town,
I won’t be hard to find, either.

( door closes )

Frank, I called you.

I heard.

Well, I didn’t want the meat
to dry out.

So, another five minutes.

Well, meat gets tough
when it stands.

Well, who told you to put it on
practically after breakfast?

And who eats supper
when it’s still daylight anyway?

Let’s go to a movie
tonight, Frank?

No.

Some other night, hmm?

That’s what you said
the last time...

and the time
before that.

Well, look, honey
you know I...

I sit still so long,
I get nervous and jumpy.

It’s all right to sit in the bar
at Garnett’s and...

brag to the marine boots.

You don’t get nervous
and jumpy doing that, do you?

Knock it off, Edith,
knock it off.

Frank,
let’s get out of here.

Just get up and go any place.
Sell the house and go.

Once the plant
moves from here,

there won’t be anything
anyway, no town.

That’s not the point.

For us, then, Frank.

Please, before
it’s too late.

Please, Frank, please.

Oh, Edith, you don’t read
the papers too good.

You don’t‐‐you don’t hear
what I hear

when I visit the guys
at the base.

They might need me
right away.

Call me back.

They’ve had you, Frank.

The best years of your life.

The best years
of my life.

Frank, I followed you
from one place to another.

Cut it out, Edith.

Been all by myself
all the time‐‐

Cut it out!

( sobbing)
Frank.

Oh!

Oh, Frank.

If you got something
like that around,

you don’t get bored
on rainy days.

After next month,
she’ll have you

talking to yourself.

Yup.

When this town folds,
that’s all we will be doing is

talking to ourselves.

You know,
we’re in trouble, man.

Uh‐uh, Ben,
not tonight.

Old Garnett’s got us
on the books

and it’s still a week
to pay day.

Sucker.

Hey, Garnett, as long as
you’re carrying us,

give us two more.

Okay.

Once again.

And, uh, quick straight one
while I’m resting.

How about a little action
tonight, Bobby?

A round of Whiting
and Adams?

Ben, I‐‐I got all the action
I can handle for one night.

I’ll lay you three to one
you don’t make a pass.

Ha!

( footsteps approaching )

Hi.

Hi.

Whole town drops dead
every night

about an hour
from now.

I usually manage to stir up
a little action about then.

( dice clang )

Friendly, you know,

just few of the boys
from the plant.

I’m just waiting to hear
from somebody, Jack.

Ben.

Why don’t you to leave
word with Garnett?

You’re in love with the sound
of your own voice, aren’t you?

( dice clanging )

Just trying to be
friendly.

Hadn’t seen you around
before.

Well, Sarge,

come on up and join
the frontline trenches.

Win any new wars
lately?

Beer.

Beer?

For a big man like you?

From the halls of Montezuma?

And a bourbon chaser.

Oh, now,
what’s the matter, Sarge,

you have a hassle
with the high command?

At ease, Private.

Sorry, Sarge, sorry.

Give me another.

So, who knew
Sarge was so touchy?

So you just sit
and listen to him

for a long time.

Oh, now, we’ve been listening
to him for a long time.

A war and a half
of listening,

ever since his first day
of semper fidelis.

Battle of the bulge.

( chuckles )

Give me another one.

You know, your mother sure
played a dirty trick on you

giving you him
for a brother.

Lay off him.

Don’t worry.

He’ll probably drown
someday...

inside a bottle.

I said lay off him.

You should have
seen him.

New Year’s Day...
at the Rose Bowl.

He ran a kick off
back 90 yards for a touchdown.

Made All American.

( cash register dings )

Sure going to be
quiet around here.

You pulling out
with the plant?

Not if I can hit me
a big enough stake, I won’t.

I hit a stake...

I go to Vegas.

Nelson can take the plant
and the rocket and shove off.

Somebody should move in,
take over the place.

Aircraft outfit.

Yeah.

Somebody.

All American.

Ha!

All American slob.

What a struggle.

( retching )

You’re a real pretty sight.

Here, wipe the drool.

Get me a drink, kid.

So you can throw your
guts up again?

Please.

Why?

I don’t know.

I’ll tell you why.

You’re scared.

( laughs )
Me?

Ken,
don’t say that.

Sure, I’ll say it.

You’re the big Pat Farley,
big All American,

big man on the campus,
big with the dames,

the biggest in his class,
and most likely to succeed.

The biggest nothing.

Shh, Ken.
Shh.

Don’t say that,
please.

Ken, get me a‐a drink,
huh?

Yeah, sure.

It’s the only way you can
stand the silence anymore.

It’s the only way you can hear
the cheers of the crowd.

"Yay, Pat Farley.
Pat Farley touchdown."

Now there’s no more cheers
and no more pats on the back.

And filling your belly
with that rotgut

morning, noon,
and night is the only way

you can stand
the silence.

You’ve made a mess
of yourself.

Now, Kenny...
don’t‐‐don’t pile up on me.

Always as a kid,
all I hear about is my brother.

How I should grow up
and be like him.

I had you running
out of my ears.

And for me,
when it came my turn,

there was no college.

Big brother, he got
all the pearls.

Little brother
gets the empty shells.

I’m sorry...
I’m sorry...

I’m sorry, too.

I’m sorry that anything
like this should happen
to anybody.

That anyone can be
so alone and so scared.

It makes me scared.

Scared to death.

Give me another rye,
will you?

Make it two.

Well, what’d you do,
lose your road map?

No, I’ve just been
under a hot shower,

washing away some of the dirt
I picked up.

All right, I’m a louse.

I won’t argue that
with you.

I’m sorry about
what I said.

I, uh...I‐‐

Forget it.

I just stopped by
to tell you that

just because
I gave you a lift,

I’m not going to sue you
for breach of promise.

Well, thank you.

It’s like you said,
I don’t even know your name.

Mitch Barton?

Yeah,
what do you want?

Mr. Nelson wants to see you
down at the plant.

Oh, isn’t that nice.

Be with you
in a minute.

For your information,
Barton,

I called Walker
long distance.

Just the mention
of your name

shot his blood pressure
up 20 points.

Well, he probably figured
it was a collect call.

He said you’re reckless,
defiant,

have no respect for
traffic regulations or people.

I like women, dogs,
cats‐‐some cats.

Walker said I’d have to be
crazy if I ever hired you.

You bring me up here
to tell me that?

Why don’t you call up
your psychiatrist?

I already did, Barton.

So what did he say?

He said to
call him again

if you didn’t bring my trucks
through for me.

Oh.

Okay, what’s the haul?

Lawrence, tell him.

Three trucks.

Red fuming nitric acid,
hydrogen peroxide, hydrazine.

The three basic
component parts

of our rocket
testing fuel.

I drove a tank full of
hydrazine before.

On paved highway maybe,
not over roads like this.

The authorities won’t let us
through the populated section.

You’ll bypass
every checking station.

Any bump, any jar,

any pebble can set this stuff
like a bomb.

Come here.

Here’s the new plant
on the other side
of these mountains,

near Thunder Dry Lake.

Here’s where we are.

You start out here,
cut across this road,

takes you to the old
locked off ridge route,

the one they banned

when they finished
the new highway.

There’s just you
and the trucks and empty space.

And now I lay me
down to sleep.

All three trucks
arrive together.

Each propellant is dependent
on the other.

One without the other
is no good.

Alone, out of their
natural chemical environment

too long, well...bang.

How long is bang?

Bismark is half way,
you make that the first day.

You don’t dare risk
driving at night,

so you stay over,
start out the next morning.

Well, that’s real generous.

Anything else?

Well, Mr. Nelson
just about said it,

they’re all unpredictable.

The hydrazine can explode
if even a drop touches the dirt.

The hydrogen peroxide’s
100% concentrated.

Same thing can happen.

Nitric acid goes in
three separate tanks,

installed in one truck.

Fumes are poisonous,
corrosive.

This acid can
burn a man alive.

Maybe Walker knew
what he was doing.

Three trucks, six men.

Three divers,
three helpers,

in case of mechanical
or road trouble.

You round up your men
and pull out of here

within 24 hours.

Here’s the file
on personnel at Cyclone.

Now go get your men.

What hay stack?

You split $30,000

and you keep the trucks,
Barton.

Payment on delivery.

All three trucks together
or no deal.

You wanna be
me beneficiary, too?

( engine sputtering )

That’s a little too fast.

Take it easy.

How’d they get that‐‐
Look‐‐

Don’t let it‐‐
Don’t let it hit the other tank!

It couldn’t have been
closer.

Yes, it could...

if any of that nitric acid
had broken loose.

George, I’m pulling you
off of those trucks.

I can use you
at the other end with me.

Oh, no.

You’re no driver.
I was against you

going in the first place.

Now, Barton can get along
with one less help.

Look, somebody has got to know
how to handle that stuff

in case anything
goes wrong.

You forget I’m the big genius
who cooks and feeds that fuel

for your fire crackers.

Get one of them
drunk in the stuff,

it goes crazy wild.

Crashes into
a schoolyard of kids,

kills them off,
murders them.

I’m going along.

Double check those tank caps,
make sure they’re tight.

Right.
That’s what we’re doing.

( tires screeching )

Hey, you’re late,
Farley.

I told you to be
here at 5:00.

Hey.

You dirty
drunked up slob.

I’m taking his place.
I’m his‐‐

You what?

I said I’m taking his place.

Right.
I can drive.

I can do it,
I can do it all right.

Pick him up.

Pour some coffee
in him, go.

Nothing is gonna
sober him up,

not the way he’s got himself
tanked, it won’t.

I’ve told you not to worry,
I’m driving for him.

Yeah,
you’re gonna drive.

I know that kid, Barton,
he drives in road races

all over the state.

This ain’t a road race.

Then who’s gonna
drive his truck?

I’ll get somebody.

I can do it,
I can do it.

There’s no time!

Barton, these trucks
have got to move now.

This kid’s still
wet behind the ears.

Do you think
I’m gonna risk our necks

any more than
we have to now?

You think I want to
take a chance on that?

Would you rather risk ’em
with him behind the wheel?

What are you gonna do?

Now, kid, you get your nose
out of line once,

one time, junior,
that’s all.

Sure.

Sure.

Come on.

Sarge, come on,
all of you, over here.

Kenny, don’t leave me.

You ain’t going to
leave me, are you?

Okay, anybody wants out,
now’s the time to talk up.

What do you say?

I like the odds,
I’m with you.

Okay, listen to this.

( truck honking twice )

Remember how it sounds,

’cause it might
mean your life sometime.

Anybody gets in trouble,
that’s the signal.

Lawrence, you and Sarge
are in the three tanker.

Take second position.

Ben, you and the kid
take this one.

You’re in back.

Joe, you and I are gonna
lead off in the front truck.

Right.

( engine starting )

Barton.

Yes, sir.

Good luck.

See you down the road.

I’ll be waiting
at the other end.

Have the money
in your pocket.

( engine revving )

( truck honks once )

Kenny!

What are you
trying to do?

Come up with box cars?

Next time, relax,
take the train.

Well, we’re on our way.

Yup.

Do you think
we’ll make it?

You pick a great time to ask,
don’t you?

We’ll make it.

If we don’t, there’ll
just be a loud noise

and Nelson will want to
cut our throats.

Oh, I didn’t mean it
that way.

I mean, I’m‐‐I’m talking
about my share.

The $5,000.

That buys a dream.

Don’t buy. Rent.
Saves you time and trouble,

and you hang on your freedom
that way.

Well, it’s not
what you think.

My dream is college,
be an engineer.

MIT, Caltech.

I don’t know.

$5,000 can buy that
for me.

But being just a...

grease monkey,

being what I am,
where I come from,

staying the way
I am...

How many lifetimes
would it take

to get that kind of money

Okay, it’s
your five grand, kid.

It’s your dream.

( humming )

This thing rides
like an LVT.

Better check on your side,
make sure everything’s secure.

Yeah.

Riding all right.

( inaudible )

Nice, huh?

It’s a tight squeeze,
but I think we’ll make it.

Hope you lived a good,
clean life.

Start digging, we’re liable
to cave the whole thing in.

What do you think
are the chances of

bulldozing our way through,
professor?

Is there another choice?

All right, we’ll go one
at a time and walk them through.

Better pull back up there...
and keep under cover

till I blow you
an all clear.

Remember you’re
not driving a road race, you.

Wish me luck.

Luck.

Ben.

What have you got
against him, huh?

Who said I got anything
against him?

( engine revving )

( truck honking once )

He’ll never walk
that truck through.

( dice rattling )

( rocks clattering )

You all right?

Beautiful.

( truck honking once )

Got a pants
full of loaded dice, Ben.

Come on,
let’s hit it.

Hey, you better
check those tanks back there.

Felt like an
earthquake hit.

All clear.

Right.

( truck honking once )

That’s us.

Hey, kid.

Look,
we get one roll.

We come out with a point,
we got to make it.

No second chances.

If we don’t make it,
we’ve had it.

We’ll make it, get in.

Hey, wait a minute.

What do you mean, get in?

What I said, get in.
I don’t need a wet nurse.

I’m going on through.

Then you’re crazier
than I thought.

Who’d you say had
jelly for guts?

Look, kid, I’ve got more than
guts laying on this line.

I got five thousand bucks.

Five thousand bucks,

and I’m not letting you
buck those odds.

Ben.

I’ll give you the odds.

You walk out there
in front of me

and there’s liable to be
a slight accident.

Or you ride with me
and take your chances.

Look, hotrod,
what are you trying to prove?

You’re the gambler.
You answer that.

Hey, kid.

How much?

Five hundred.

Five hundred
for a five second ride.

I say
you can’t take it.

You got yourself a bet,
hotrod.

( engine starts )

That’s 500
you owe me.

I’m sure glad your lush
brother wasn’t driving.

You shut up about my brother,
just shut up.

I just told you
this wasn’t a road race.

Now, you pull another stunt
like that, junior,

I’ll rub your head
in the sand till it’s hamburger.

Remember that.

Hey, what’s the matter?
You on a diet or something?

I don’t blame you.

The guy
who made this sandwich

is trying to get even
with somebody.

Hey, come on,
wake up.

You look like
they used to look on Iwo.

Yeah.

Go for days
with out any sleep, days.

Always be
looking for them.

Liable to come from
anywhere...

anywhere, never knew
where or when.

Go along.

Give anything.

Give
a million dollars

just to be able to
close your eyes.

Doze...
doze...just to sleep.

Good morning, Cathy.

Randy, drink your milk.

You’ll be late for school.

Oh, all right.

Not in front
of the children.

Why not?
We’re married, aren’t we?

Sometimes
I wonder.

Here, Casanova,

you might get cold.

Mommy!

Now, you take off
and Cathy and I will pick you up

when school’s out.

Here.

Okay.

Bye, Mom.
Bye, Dad.

Bye, Cathy.

Bye‐bye.

Bye.

What was that, uh,
"Sometimes I wonder"

crack all about, anyway?

Just what I said,

that other woman
in your life.

Yeah,
what other woman?

"Her," "she," "she was hot
as a pistol today" and "she...

"You should’ve seen her
stick her nose up in the clouds

"and waggle her tail
at the earth" and...

and "she was like a ballerina
leaping into the sky."

We ever split up,
George Lawrence,

it will be her fault.

Yeah, but, um,
can she cook?

Can she press my pants?

Can she...

( car honking )

Your ride.

Oh, Joe?

He’s kept me
waiting before.

( truck honking )

What’s that?

What’s wrong?

I don’t know,
motor’s messing, no compression.

( honking twice )

What?

Oh, the minute
I hit that last brake,

she started
mushing out on me.

Well, we can’t hang up here,
we got to keep moving.

Joe, stay with Sarge.

I’ll get my tools.

You ride with me.

If you don’t pick us up
by the time we get to Bismark,

I’ll send help
back for you.

You better be there.

You want us
to stay behind?

What are you, crazy?

That stuff in your tank
will blow

if you sneeze
at it wrong.

His can’t.

Pull around him, kid,
come on.

See you.

( truck honking )

Find anything?

I can’t tell.

Maybe the injective,
maybe the fuel line,

maybe a lot of maybes.

( dog yelping )

Some day I’m gonna kill
that school pigeon dog.

Well, are you good
and happy now?

Playing big hero
for all the little solider boys.

Buying them drinks
so they’ll listen to you?

Edith, I‐‐

Big hero!

Do they know how you come
stumbling home?

How you make a mess
and I have to clean it up.

Edith,
will you shut up?

No, I won’t shut up!
Shut up!

I won’t shut up!

I got to live with you,
they don’t.

They get the free drinks,
I get the hangover!

( sobbing )

Oh, Frank,

when are you gonna
stop playing

the big soldier boy?

When are you gonna
get it through that

great big thick head that
they don’t want you anymore,

they don’t need you,

they’re never gonna
call you back?

Frank, you’ve had it,
you’re an old man.

You’re an old,
old man.

Old, old man...

( groaning )

( truck honking twice )

( honking twice )

( honking twice )

Mitch!

What happened to him?

I was fixing the motor,
he was checking under the truck.

Road bed must have
jarred the tank cap loose.

The stuff splashed
all over his hand.

Sarge, he got
the full treatment.

He never hollered,
never opened his mouth.

He just tightened
the tank cap on again.

He never got his
hand back out.

I found him up here.
I didn’t know what to do,
I didn’t want to move him.

Get a couple of blankets.

Right.

He’s in bad shape.

He’s gonna need a doctor,
fast.

If we can get to Bismark
before dark.

Dark?

And if we don’t,
he may die.

Take a look
at the sun.

You’re the one that said
no driving after dark.

It’s your deadline,
Lawrence, not mine.

Hey, Sam, are you sure
the trucks are coming this way?

No mistake, Track.

My brothe‐in‐law’s
the deputy sheriff

of Cyclone County.

( motor whirring )

Road’s blocked there, lady.
Something we can do for you?

They said in town
that you weren’t gonna

let the trucks through.

That’s right, lady.

But my husband is with them
and I’ve got to see him.

We don’t care if you spend
the whole night with him,

long as he’s on
that side of the road.

( motor whirring )

Here they come.

( truck honking twice )

What goes here, man?
Not you, mister.

We got the flash on you,

you’re not driving
through our town.

Look, we got to
get to town.

Where’s my husband?
Where’s Frank?

Oh, you’re Sarge’s wife?
Yeah.

We say this is the end
of the line. You go
that way across‐‐

Where’s my husband?
Where’s Frank?

See, we got a sick man
back there, mister.

We got to get him
to a doctor.

Frank?
Oh, no.

Please, don’t go down there,
Mrs. Miller.

Look, he’s hurt bad,
he needs a doctor now!

Frank!

Okay, but the trucks
don’t budge.

Sam, park your car
down here.

We better get the guy
to the doctor.

Frank.

He saved a truck,
ma’am.

Saved a truck?

Come on, let’s get the trucks
off the road.

Benson, car four.

MAN: ( on radio )
Go ahead, Benson.

Get a hold of the doc,
I’m bringing someone in.

Frank?

Frank, darling?

Life with you
has been good.

Deep down inside of me

it’s been so warm
and comfortable.

It’s only when you
weren’t with me

that I got frightened
and lonely.

But I loved you.

That’s why I thought
to keep you all to myself.

Oh, Sarge, I’ve been selfish,
so selfish and jealous.

Honey, it’s gonna be
all right now,

because I grew up.

Just since this morning
and now I grew up.

I wanted to tell you

so you could finish
the trip in peace.

So you play soldier, Sarge,
you play soldier.

You just have the time
of your life.

You have the time
of your life.

Oh, God, forgive me.

Ma’am, we’ll have him
in town in‐‐ Oh.

Yes, thank you,
Sheriff.

He’s dead.

Uh, Mrs. Miller...

Sheriff, I’d better
meet you in town,

we’ll make
the arrangements.

Lawrence, you better
stay with the trucks,

these guys are gonna have
the split the driving.

They’re gonna need
all the sleep they can get.

I better go with her.

I’ll drive you,
in that station wagon.

Thanks.

( engine starting )

Everything all right,
Lawrence?

Yeah, fine.

Thanks for everything,
fellas.

Forget it.

Thanks.

You lead out, junior.

Pick up your reflectors.

Let’s go.

( engine starting )

( honking in distance )

Lie down on the floor,
all you kids.

Quick!

( bus honking continuously )

( honking twice )

( tires screeching )

Get out of there!

Get out!

You kids all right?
All of you?

ALL: Yeah, we’re all right.

Everybody all right
in there?

I never figured
we’d get through that one alive.

That fella
in the other truck,

with me coming
right at him.

If he hadn’t pulled off
of the road...

He must have had an angel
riding on his shoulder.

I’ll get one of my boys
to check your bus out for you.

Thanks.

Nobody hurt in the bus.

How are you, okay?

I’m all right, Mitch.

It looks like
a broken collarbone.

I don’t know.

Well, we better try to
set him up in the cab.

Ben, check out
that bus.

If you can’t fix it
in 30 seconds,

tell the guy we’ll send him
a tow truck from the plant.

Right.

I want to be rolling
in five minutes.

Come on.

Easy.

I’ll go pin a good conduct
medal on Junior.

Nice going, sport.

Back her out
and follow us up the hill.

( engine sputtering )

( truck honking twice )

Trouble.

( truck honking twice )

You blew enough oil
to bring in a well, junior.

I must have whacked
that oil line

when I went
off the bridge.

Pressure’s down to
ten pounds, and that temp gauge

is red hot.

How about that.
What do you think, Joe?

Ten pounds
of oil pressure?

Like slow death.

Look, it’s downhill
the rest of the way

if you keep it in low gear
and don’t give it any
throttle or compression,

the motor will be
a break, won’t it?

Well, if you lose
the rest of that oil

you might throw a rod,
burn the engine, freeze up.

After that, it’s all brakes
and a prayer.

All right, I run out of oil,
I’ll spit in the engine.

You drive my truck,
junior.

Go with him,
will you, Lawrence?

Button that thing up.

Keep your distance
behind me.

I’ll see you down below.

He’s out of control.

He’s gonna try to slow it up
into the mountain.

Easy, Mitch, easy.

BEN:
Come on, baby.

Seven eleven for Ben.

Make it a natural.

Don’t crap out now, baby.

There’s five grand waiting
at the end of the line, Barton.

Five beautiful
sweet‐smelling grand.

Now, now.

Ha ha!

Eleven.

Okay, kid,
let’s try it.

Aah!

Well, that makes
two of us now.

"If you can’t fight them,
join them,"

I always say.

Well, looks like
you’re elected, professor.

Get in the middle truck.
All you got to do is
hang on to the wheel.

I’ll be in front to pull

and the kid will be
in the back for a brake.

Do something
about the chain, will you?

Use your good arm.

Yeah.

You ride with the professor.
Stay on the horn.

Remember,
one long blast means slow,

two short ones
means fast, right?

Yeah.

The deal is three trucks
in tonight, before dark.

If we don’t make it, pop.

Hey.

What’s with you?

I can’t drive the truck.

What do you mean
you can’t drive the truck?

What I said.

Look, Lawrence, I know
what’s bugging you.

You got more reason to hate
every drop of this stuff

than any of us.

Maybe you know a little more
than you told us, too.

But this is
the real time,

this whole thing
can blow up, huh?

I don’t know,
I’ve been watching you,
I’ve got you figured.

Look, I don’t know how‐‐
Well, I know this much.

If we don’t get these
trucks through,

if we miss the deadline now,
after all that’s happened,

tomorrow
or the next day,

Nelson’s gonna
start all over again.

He’s gonna get his
rocket launched

with or without us
hauling in the fuel.

You ought to know that
better than the rest of us,

Lawrence.

You can’t stop
this kind of thing.

No matter who gets hurt
along the way.

( honking twice )

( sustained honk )

( honks twice )

( sustained honk )

( honks twice )

( honks once )

( honks twice )

Good boy, Barton.

You got a doctor?

Yeah, right down
the other end.

Over here.

Looks like made it,
professor, here we are.

Hey, snap out of it.

What did you say?

The ride’s over.

The fuel.

We got to get it off
these trucks.

Now, don’t worry
about it, George,

it’s all being
taken care of.

Doc, check him over,
will you?

Got a couple of more
customers for you, doc,

coming up.

Take it easy.

I’ll see you two men
at the infirmary

with your money.

If you ever hit Vegas,
look me up.

I’ll buy you a drink.

I’ll take it now.

Thanks for everything,
Mitch.

Happy dream.

Build yourself
some good roads and bridges.

Five thousand bucks,

it’s gonna buy a lot of help
for my brother.

Send a lot of liquor
down the drain.

Thanks.

Thanks for
letting me drive.

Okay.

What’s happening
to everybody?

Well, it’s a long story.

Don’t try to
figure it out.

You know where to find
Sarge’s wife, huh?

I know.

How about these trucks,
huh?

( car honking )

What’s the blue book on ’em
anyway?

I don’t know.

I want cash, Nelson.
I’ll let you know
where I’m gonna be.

What are you gonna do?

Send you a post card.

Hi.

Hi.

Where to?

Let’s try that again.

What took you so long?
