CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
WARNER BROS.

HOW'S IT GOING, JOE?

OK. FILL 'ER UP.

WHAT ARE YOU HAULING?

APPLES.

HOW'S YOUR BROTHER PAUL?

ASLEEP.

SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME
YOU COME IN HERE,

HE'S ASLEEP
AND YOU'RE DRIVING.

WHAT IS HE,
A GROWING BOY?

HE DRIVES
AS MUCH AS I DO.

YOU RUN YOUR STATION.

WE'LL TAKE CARE
OF OUR RIG.

OK. I WAS
JUST WONDERING.

THIS IS THE NEAREST THING
I HAD TO A BATH IN 2 WEEKS.

YEAH, I NOTICED.

70 GALLONS OF GAS,

3 QUARTS OF OIL
IN YOUR CRANKCASE...

I'LL HAVE TO GET YOU
ON THE WAY BACK, PETE.

5 QUARTS IN YOUR SPARE CAN.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?

I WON'T BE ABLE
TO PAY YOU

UNTIL I GET RID
OF THIS LOAD.

WHY DIDN'T YOU
SAY THAT BEFORE?

IF I DID, YOU WOULDN'T
HAVE GIVEN ME THE GAS.

I'LL SAY I WOULDN'T.

I'VE GOT A NOTION TO
SIPHON IT OUT OF THERE.

YOU KNOW I AIN'T
SELLING GAS ON TIME.

RELAX. I WOULDN'T
GYP YOU. I'M HONEST.

I KNOW YOU ARE.

ALL YOU TRUCKERS ARE HONEST,
BUT YOU'RE ALWAYS BROKE.

THE FIRST THING I KNOW,

THE FINANCE COMPANY COMES
ALONG AND GRABS YOUR TRUCK,

AND YOU'RE OUT OF BUSINESS,
AND I NEVER SEE MY DOUGH.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME
AND THE INSTALLMENT MAN.

HE'S GOT TO
CATCH ME FIRST.

THAT WON'T BE TOUGH.

YOU AIN'T DRIVING
ANY SPEEDWAY SPECIAL.

SIGN IT. $12.90.

AW, DON'T OVERFLOW
YOUR TANK.

ON THE CUFF.
HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?

YOU'LL GET IT
ON THE TRIP BACK.

YOU DIDN'T PAY
FOR THIS POP.

PUT IT ON THE BILL.

WHERE ARE WE?

NOT FAR FROM LANSDALE.

YOU SHOULD HAVE
WOKE ME UP.

IT'S OK.

WE'LL GRAB A CUP OF
COFFEE AT BARNEY'S.

THEN YOU CAN WHEEL IT
INTO LOS ANGELES.

HOW'S ABOUT
LAYING OVER AT MY HOUSE

FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS?

I'M KNOCKED OUT.

BOY, I'D LIKE TO STAY
IN BED FOR A WEEK,

NOT EVEN GET UP TO EAT.

SO WOULD I,

BUT THAT AIN'T THE WAY
WE GET AHEAD.

BUT I GOT TO
THINK OF PEARL.

I AIN'T BEEN HOME
FOR 2 WEEKS.

SHE MIGHT AS WELL BE
MARRIED TO AN EXPLORER.

LOOK OUT, JOE!

YOU DIRTY SON
OF A ROAD HOG!

YOU SHOULD'VE
SMACKED INTO HIM.

WHAT IS THAT
GONNA GET US?

WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

YOU PARK HERE
AND WATCH THE LOAD.

I'M GONNA HOP UP
TO BARNEY'S CAFE

AND TELEPHONE WILLIAMS

AND SEE IF HE CAN SEND SOME
OF THE DOUGH HE OWES US.

THANKS.

HIYA, HARRY.

HELLO, JOE.

WHERE'S YOUR RIG?

DOWN THE ROAD.
BUSTED WHEEL.

TOUGH GOING.
CAN I HELP?

THANKS. I'M GOING
TO PHONE WILLIAMS

TO SEND ME SOME OF
THE DOUGH HE OWES ME.

I HOPE YOU GET IT.

I QUIT HAULING
FOR THAT CROOK.

HE RAN ME RAGGED, AND I
HARDLY EVER GOT PAID.

HE'LL PAY ME NOW,
ALL RIGHT,

OR HE WON'T GET HIS
APPLES IN L.A. ON TIME.

IF YOU GOT HIM
OVER A BARREL,

THAT'S DIFFERENT.

MAYBE YOU'LL GET IT.

COME ON. WE GO.

YEAH, HE'S RIGHT.

CAN'T MAKE NO DOUGH
DRINKING COFFEE.

GOOD LUCK, GUY.

SAME TO YOU.
THANKS.

OH, HARRY!

WRITE YOUR WIFE.
I HEAR SHE'S WORRIED.

OK, I WILL. THANKS.

HELLO, JOE.

HELLO, JAKE.
HOW'S IT GOING?

GOOD.

GIVE ME A FRISCO
PHONE BOOK, WILL YOU?

YEAH. BE SURE YOU BRING BACK
ALL THE PAGES, TOO.

SO AS I'M
TELLING YOU, SEE,

HERE I AM WITH THESE
2 BEAUTIFUL DAMES.

BOY, WHAT EQUIPMENT.

ANYWAY, THEY'RE HANGING
AROUND MY NECK,

AND THEY'RE BEGGING ME
NOT TO GO, SEE.

I TELL THEM...

I SAYS, "LOOK, SISTERS,
I GOT A JOB TO DO."

SO I PUSH THEM AWAY
AND LEAVE.

AFTER ALL, A GUY LIKE ME
WITH HUNDREDS OF DAMES.

HO HO!

I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE.

COME ON, SHORTY.
IT'S TOO DEEP FOR ME.

I'M LOSING MY TOUCH.

GIVE ME SOME
NICKELS, BARNEY.

JOE! WHERE
YOU BEEN, GUY?

BEEN GETTING
ANY GOOD HAULS?

SOME. HOW THEY BEEN
ROLLING FOR YOU, IRISH?

I STILL GET MY CHECK
EVERY SATURDAY.

YEAH, BUT YOU GET
ORDERED AROUND

EVERY OTHER DAY.

THAT AIN'T FOR ME.

HEY, RED, THIS
STEAK'S TOUGH.

YOU CAN'T SEND IT BACK NOW.
YOU'VE BENT IT.

I'LL BE BACK THIS WAY
TONIGHT, RED.

THANKS FOR THE WARNING.

GIVE ME THE PHONE,
WILL YOU?

WHAT DO YOU DO...
KEEP IT IN A VAULT?

DON'T CALL NEW YORK.

ANOTHER CUP OF JAVA.

YOU MUST LIKE
OUR COFFEE.

IT STINKS.

I NOTICE YOU'RE DRINKING
YOUR SEVENTH CUP.

I LIKE YOUR SUGAR.

WHY DON'T YOU AND YOUR BROTHER
QUIT WILDCAT TRUCKING?

WITH A LEGITIMATE COMPANY,
THIS IS A PRETTY SWELL JOB.

WHY DON'T YOU
GET SMART LIKE ME

AND GO TO WORK
FOR ED CARLSEN?

GIVE ME
LONG DISTANCE.

HEY!

RELAX. I'M REVERSING
THE CHARGES.

HA HA HA!

THERE'S ONLY ONE GUY

I'D SOONER GO TO WORK
FOR THAN ED CARLSEN.

WHO?
ME.

YOU AIN'T WORKING FOR YOU.

YOU'RE WORKING FOR
THE FINANCE COMPANY.

AS SOON AS YOUR
TRUCK'S PAID FOR,

YOU'LL HAVE
TO GET ANOTHER ONE.

HELLO. I WANT TO TALK
TO MIKE WILLIAMS.

STANDARD 72961,
SAN FRANCISCO.

REVERSE THE CHARGES.

JOE FABRINI CALLING.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.

SOMEDAY
YOU ROAD SKINNERS

WILL ALL BE SAYING,

"JOE FABRINI'S A GOOD
GUY TO WORK FOR,"

AND I WILL BE.

NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT,
KID, BUT ME...

I'LL TAKE THE SALARY

AND LET SOMEONE ELSE
HAVE THE WORRY.

THAT'S THE EASY WAY.

GIVE ME A CUP
OF COFFEE.

ANYTHING ELSE?

YEAH. WHAT ELSE YOU GOT
THAT AIN'T POISONOUS?

I DON'T KNOW.
I NEVER EAT HERE.

HOW ABOUT TAKING
MY ORDER, RED?

HOW ABOUT TAKING
YOUR TIME?

NICE NEW FIXTURE,
BARNEY.

YEAH.

SHE'LL DO.

NOT A BAD THING
TO KNOW.

NICE CHASSIS,
HUH, JOE?

CLASSY CHASSIS.

YES, AND IT'S
ALL MINE, TOO.

I DON'T OWE ANY
PAYMENTS ON IT.

I'LL BE GLAD TO
FINANCE IT, BABY.

WHO DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE KIDDING?

YOU COULDN'T EVEN PAY
FOR THE HEADLIGHTS.

WHAT?! HE WON'T
ACCEPT THE CALL?

WAIT A MINUTE.
HEY, IRISH.

HUH?

LEND ME A BUCK,
WILL YOU?

I WANT TO PAY
FOR THIS PHONE CALL.

GET A LOAD OF THE BIG
TRUCKING OPERATOR.

I STILL VOTE
FOR A SALARY.

OK. I'LL PAY FOR IT
AT THIS END.

UH, THIS IS...
2212.

ANYTHING ELSE?

YEAH, BUT IT AIN'T
ON THE MENU.

AND IT AIN'T GONNA BE.

YOU BETTER SETTLE
FOR A HAMBURGER.

OK. WITH ONIONS.

HELLO.
MIKE WILLIAMS?

WHAT'S THE IDEA OF
DUCKING MY PHONE CALL?

I NEVER TAKE
COLLECT CALLS.

WHERE ARE YOU?

BARNEY'S CAFE...

NORTH OF LANSDALE...

ON 99.

YOU GOT A BUSTED WHEEL?
NOW, LOOK, FABRINI,

THOSE APPLES HAVE
GOT TO BE DELIVERED

TO THE MARKET TONIGHT.

THAT AIN'T WOOD
YOU'RE HAULING.

OK, I'LL GET
THE APPLES IN,

BUT SEND ME SOME OF THAT
300 BUCKS YOU OWE ME

SO I CAN GET
A NEW WHEEL.

YEAH, WIRE IT TO ME
RIGHT HERE.

WELL, I AIN'T GOT MUCH
CASH RIGHT NOW, JOE.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
DON'T GET EXCITED.

I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

WHO DO THOSE FABRINI GUYS
THINK THEY ARE, ANYHOW?

I'VE THROWN MORE
BUSINESS THEIR WAY

THAN ANY OTHER
FREIGHT AGENT IN TOWN,

AND I AIN'T GONNA
SEND THEM ANY MONEY.

BUT THE APPLES WON'T
GET INTO L.A. TONIGHT.

THEY WILL IF SOMEBODY
ELSE HAULS THEM.

WHO'S UP THERE
NEAR LANSDALE?

HANK DAWSON. HE'S DUE
IN THERE WITH A LOAD OF BEER,

AND WE DON'T OWE HIM
MUCH MONEY.

YOU GET HIM ON THE PHONE

AND TELL HIM TO PICK UP
FABRINIS' LOAD.

THOSE FABRINIS
ARE TOUGH BABIES.

THEY'RE LIABLE
TO PART YOUR HAIR

WITH
A MONKEY WRENCH.

THEY ONLY THINK
THEY'RE TOUGH.

SAY, IS FARNSWORTH
STILL OUTSIDE?

HE WAS
A MINUTE AGO.

TELL THAT LOAN SHARK
I WANT TO SEE HIM.

BUT YOU FELLAS
DON'T UNDERSTAND.

EVERYTHING I DO IS
ABSOLUTELY WITHIN THE LAW.

AND ALL I CAN SAY

IS WE NEED AN AWFUL
LOT OF NEW LAWS.

HEY, FARNSWORTH.

THE BOSS WANTS
TO TALK TO YOU.

EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN.

BYE-BYE, BUZZARD.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH THE MAN?

TELL ME, FARNSWORTH,

DO THE FABRINI BOYS
OWE YOU ANY DOUGH

ON THAT TRUCK?

I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO CATCH UP WITH THEM

FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

THEY'RE BEHIND 3 PAYMENTS
PLUS MY INTEREST.

YEAH. I KNOW ALL
ABOUT YOUR INTEREST.

WOULD YOU LIKE
TO NAIL THEM

AND REPOSSESS
THE TRUCK?

YEAH, CERTAINLY.

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.

THEY'RE STUCK WITH
A BUSTED WHEEL

NEAR BARNEY'S CAFE
ON 99.

GO GET A TOW CAR
AND HAUL IN THE RIG.

THANKS. I'LL DO YOU
A FAVOR SOMETIME.

JUST DON'T LEND ME
ANY MONEY.

THAT'S ALL
I ASK OF YOU.

Man: YOU KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED?

THE GUY HAD AN IRON
IN HIS HAND.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

I GOT BLISTERS WAITING,

SO I GRABBED A HITCH
INTO LANSDALE

AND PROMOTED
A SECONDHAND WHEEL.

I TOLD THE GUY I'D GET
THE DOUGH FOR HIM.

WHAT DID YOU DO
WITH THE LOAD?

GOT A KID WATCHING IT.

HOW'D YOU MAKE OUT
WITH WILLIAMS?

I'M STILL WAITING
FOR THE DOUGH.

COFFEE.

WHY DO WE STAY
IN THIS RACKET?

WE AREN'T GONNA MAKE
ENOUGH OUT OF IT

TO BUY OURSELVES
DECENT COFFINS.

STOP CRABBING.
I GOT ENOUGH WORRIES.

GET THAT INTO YOU.
WE GOT TO START ROLLING.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH
OF THE X-RAY TREATMENT.

DON'T GET ME WRONG,
SISTER.

ALL YOU MAKE ME
THINK ABOUT

IS HOW MUCH I'D LIKE
TO BE WITH MY WIFE.

HA! THAT'S THE FIRST TIME
I'VE EVER HEARD THAT ONE.

I AIN'T GOT A WIFE.

THAT'S NOT HARD
TO UNDERSTAND.

IF ANY OF YOU GUYS
OWE ON YOUR TRUCKS,

YOU BETTER FADE.

FARNSWORTH'S
COMING.

WHERE'S FABRINI?

WITH BYRD
AT THE SOUTH POLE.

HE WENT FISHING
WITH THE PRESIDENT.

I HEARD HE WAS
PLAYING LEFT END

FOR NOTRE DAME.

FELLAS, THERE AIN'T
NOTHING PERSONAL

BETWEEN FABRINI AND ME.

HE BOUGHT A TRUCK, AND
HE'S GOT TO PAY FOR IT.

WHY?

BECAUSE EVERYTHING ON THAT
HUNK OF JUNK MAKES NOISE

EXCEPT THE HORN.

I'M STANDING ON
MY LEGAL RIGHTS.

I GOT TO MAKE
A LIVING, TOO.

WHY?

BECAUSE IT SAYS
IN THE LAW...

I AIN'T GONNA ARGUE
WITH YOU FELLAS.

MISS, DID YOU SEE
JOE FABRINI AROUND?

I KNOW
HE'S BEEN HERE.

HE PULLED OUT MORE
THAN AN HOUR AGO.

YEAH? THEN WHOSE WHEEL
IS THAT OUTSIDE?

IT'S MINE.

WANT TO MAKE
ANYTHING OUT OF IT?

N-N-NOW,
NO OFFENSE.

LISTEN, RUNT.

WE DON'T LIKE YOU
AROUND HERE.

YAAH!

THROW HIM OUT, BOYS!

THERE HE GOES!

YEAH! HE'S OVER
FOR A TOUCHDOWN!

THANKS, HONEY. I'LL DO YOU
A FAVOR SOMETIME.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I DON'T LIKE THE
INSTALLMENT GUYS EITHER.

THEY GOT A COAT
OF MINE ONCE.

HOW MUCH DO WE OWE
YOU FOR THE CHOW?

36.

HERE YOU ARE.
KEEP THE CHANGE.

THANKS.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
HE'S ON HIS WAY.

THANKS, FELLAS.
I'LL BE SEEING YOU.

SO LONG, JOE.
TAKE IT EASY.

COME ON, KID.

WHERE'S THE WHEEL?

RIGHT OVER THERE.

IF WE'RE LUCKY,

MAYBE WE CAN
GET A RIDE.

WHO'S THIS?

HIYA, DAWSON.

HELLO. HOW ARE YA, JOE?

HELLO, DAWSON. WILL YOU
GIVE US A LIFT?

WE HAD SOME TROUBLE.

YEAH. WILLIAMS
TOLD ME.

WILLIAMS?

YEAH. HE SENT ME HERE
TO PICK UP YOUR LOAD.

WHY, THAT DIRTY MUZZLER.

AFTER CARRYING THE LOAD
ALL THIS WAY,

WE DON'T GET A DIME
OUT OF IT.

SUPPOSE WE DON'T
GIVE IT TO YOU.

YOU CAN SUIT YOURSELF,
FELLAS,

BUT IF YOU MISS THE MARKET
WITH THOSE APPLES,

YOU'RE GONNA TAKE A RAP
FOR THE WHOLE LOAD.

JUST LET HIM TRY
TO COLLECT.

SHUT UP. OF COURSE
HE'LL COLLECT...

OUT OF THE DOUGH
HE OWES US.

YOU'RE A NICE GUY,
DAWSON.

WHY DO YOU PULL
STUFF LIKE THIS?

IT AIN'T MY FAULT, JOE.

I GOT A WIFE AND A KID

AND ANOTHER ONE
ON THE WAY.

I GOT TO DO WHAT
WILLIAMS TELLS ME,

OR I DON'T GET NO HAULS.

DON'T GET SORE
AT ME, FELLAS.

I'D LIKE TO KICK THAT
CHISELER'S TEETH OUT.

THAT AIN'T GONNA
GET YOU NOTHING,

AND BESIDES, HANK
AIN'T INTERESTED.

COME ON.
LET'S HOP IN.

GIVE US A HAND
WITH THIS, WILL YOU?

YEAH, SURE.

READY?

YEAH.

UP.

THAT'S IT.

OUR RIG'S ABOUT 2 MILES
DOWN THE ROAD.

AND WHERE DO WE
GO FROM THERE?

WE BETTER GO BACK TO FRISCO
AND SEE WILLIAMS.

BY THE TIME I GET
HOME TO MY WIFE,

I'LL BE TOO TIRED TO
TURN OUT THE LIGHT.

COME ON.

WILLIAMS OUGHTA BE
IN HIS OFFICE BY NOW.

OK.

WHAT IF HE
DON'T SEE IT?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

HELLO, JOE.

HOW THEY
ROLLING, JOE?

HOW'S THAT BROKEN-DOWN
TUB OF YOURS?

NO LOADS YET, BOYS.
HANG AROUND.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
WE'VE BEEN DOING

THE LAST 3 DAYS?

TELL WILLIAMS ME AND
MY BROTHER WANTS TO SEE HIM.

YOU GUYS IN AGAIN?

YOU JUST
HEARD ME SAY

THERE AIN'T
ANY LOADS OUT.

WHO SAID WE WANTED ANY?

WE DON'T GET PAID
FOR THEM ANYWAY.

OH.

OH, HELLO, BOYS.

HOW'D YOU GET BACK?

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
WE'RE HERE.

WE OUGHTA WRAP A CRANK
AROUND YOUR NECK.

WE GOT A PRETTY GOOD
HUNCH IT WAS YOU

WHO PUT FARNSWORTH
ON OUR TAIL.

WHAT DID I WANT
TO SEE YOU BOYS

LOSE YOUR TRUCK FOR?

I GOT SOME BEER HAULS
IN MIND FOR YOU,

SOMETHING THAT'S
COMING UP REAL SOON.

BEER'S OUT, YOU BRING
BACK THE EMPTIES.

ABOUT 3 HAULS A WEEK.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?

WE'D LIKE IT FINE
IF WE GOT PAID FOR IT.

YOU'VE BEEN HORSING US
AROUND LONG ENOUGH.

WE OUGHT TO BREAK
YOUR CRUMMY NECK

FOR LEAVING US
STUCK OUT ON THE ROAD

WITH A BUSTED WHEEL
AND LIFTING OUR LOAD.

WHAT DO YOU
WANT ME TO DO...

DIG INTO MY POCKET

EVERY TIME YOU GUYS
FOLD UP A WHEEL

OR BLOW A TIRE?

I'M JUST AS BROKE
AS YOU ARE.

WHAT IS THIS... TIN?

HERE, HERE, HERE.

WHERE'S YOUR
MANNERS, ANYHOW?

GOING INTO A MAN'S
PRIVATE PAPERS.

YOU OWE US 300 BUCKS,
CHISELER,

AND YOU'RE GONNA
PAY US NOW!

IF YOU DON'T...

ALL RIGHT!
DON'T GET HOT.

I'LL GIVE YOU
A CHECK.

WHAT WILL WE DO
WITH IT...

USE IT FOR A TIRE PATCH?

WE'LL TAKE IT
OUT OF HERE... CASH.

LET GO OF HIM, PAUL,
AND WRITE OUT A RECEIPT.

I HOPE YOU GUYS
KNOW THERE'S A LAW

AGAINST TAKING
PEOPLE'S MONEY.

IF THAT WERE SO,

YOU'D HAVE BEEN
IN THE CLINK YEARS AGO.

I KNEW YOU'D
SEE IT OUR WAY

WHEN WE PUT IT
UP TO YOU RIGHT.

YOU MARK MY WORDS.

YOU GUYS ARE GONNA
REGRET THIS.

THAT'S OK. WE'RE TIRED
OF TAKING ALL THE CHANCES

AND LEAVING ALL
THE DOUGH TO YOU.

THAT'S THE WORST
OF YOU ROAD SLOBS!

YOU'RE ALWAYS GETTING
TOO BIG FOR YOUR BRITCHES.

BUT I DON'T MIND
TELLING YOU ONE THING.

THIS IS THE LAST LOAD

YOU'LL EVER GET
OUT OF THIS OFFICE.

THEN IN THAT CASE,

WE HAVEN'T GOT ANYTHING
TO LOSE, HAVE WE?

THERE'S
YOUR RECEIPT.

THERE'S A BAD CURVE
SITTING OUT FRONT.

IT'S GOT MUD ON IT.
BE CAREFUL.

GO TO SLEEP, WILL YOU?
I'M DRIVING NOW.

I WAS JUST
REMINDING YOU.

IF WE GO OVER A CLIFF,
WAKE ME UP.

HA HA HA HA!

POUR ON THE BRAKES.

Paul: IF WE'RE
GONNA STOP

AND PICK UP EVERYBODY
WE SEE ALONG THE ROAD,

WE AIN'T GONNA GET IN
TILL NEXT WEEK.

Joe: IT'S A DAME.

IT WON'T HURT US TO
GET HER OUTTA THE RAIN.

IT'S TOO BAD

ONE OF THEM HOTSHOT
PASSENGER CARS

COULDN'T FIND TIME
TO GIVE HER A LIFT.

COME ON. HOP IN.

THANKS. I WAS
BEGINNING TO WONDER

IF I'D EVER GET A RIDE.

YOU GOT ONE NOW,
SO RELAX.

YOU'RE THE DAME THAT WAS
SLINGING HASH AT BARNEY'S.

THAT'S ME.

WELL, WHAT HAPPENED?

BARNEY HAD
ABOUT 12 HANDS,

AND I DIDN'T LIKE
ANY OF THEM.

AW, BARNEY'S
ALL RIGHT.

YEAH. YOU DIDN'T
HAVE TO PASS HIM

A HUNDRED TIMES A DAY.

IT WAS LIKE TANGLING
WITH AN OCTOPUS.

HOW FAR
ARE YOU GOING?

HOW FAR ARE YOU GOING?

WE'RE GOING
TO LOS ANGELES.

THAT'S OK BY ME.

I'D JUST AS SOON BE OUT OF
A JOB ONE PLACE AS ANOTHER.

OH. WAIT A MINUTE.

I BETTER...

WRAP YOU UP.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME,
RED?

CASSIE HARTLEY.

DO YOU KNOW ANYONE
IN L.A.?

UH-UH.

WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO?

GET A ROOM,
LOOK FOR WORK.

JOBS AIN'T GROWING
ON BUSHES THESE DAYS.

HOW MUCH DOUGH YOU GOT?

ENOUGH TO GET BY.

YOU'RE GONNA KNOCK
YOUR TEETH OUT CHATTERING

IF WE DON'T
GET SOMETHING HOT INTO YOU.

PULL INTO MANDEL'S, PAUL.

WE'VE BEEN ROLLING
PRETTY GOOD.

PEARL'S WAITING UP
FOR ME.

I'VE BEEN FIGURING

ON SPENDING AN HOUR
WITH HER.

SO YOU'LL SPEND
A HALF-HOUR WITH HER.

LOOK. IT'S CLEARING UP.
WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

DON'T STOP
ON MY ACCOUNT.

WE GOT TO STOP SOMEWHERE.
MIGHT AS WELL BE MANDEL'S.

THAT AIN'T HOME.

PEARL CAN'T COOK A STEAK
LIKE BILLY MANDEL.

I AIN'T INTERESTED
IN STEAKS.

OHH!

HOW COME YOU'RE HERE, IRISH?
AIN'T YOU BEHIND SCHEDULE?

HELLO, JOE. I'VE BEEN
HAVING TOUGH LUCK.

I WON 48 FREE GAMES.

I TRIED TO
SHOOT THEM BACK,

BUT I KEPT
WINNING MORE.

ONLY 3 GAMES LEFT,
AND I CAN HIT THE ROAD,

AND I'LL HAVE TO
PUSH MY FOOT

RIGHT THROUGH
THE FLOORBOARD

TO MAKE UP MY SCHEDULE.

WHAT WILL IT BE, BOYS?

A T-BONE, RARE,

AND MAKE IT GOOD
THIS TIME.

THE LAST ONE
I HAD HERE

COULDA BEEN USED
FOR A MANHOLE COVER.

HONEY, THIS ONE
WILL BE SO TENDER,

IT'LL THROW ITS ARMS
AROUND YOU AND KISS YOU.

SAME FOR YOU?

YEAH.

I'LL JUST HAVE
SOME COFFEE.

BRING HER A STEAK.

FATTENING HER UP, HUH?

SOMETHING ELSE
FOR YOU, HONEY?

YES. COOL OFF
YOUR IMAGINATION.

HEY, McNAMARA.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

WHAT'S IT TO YOU?

COME ON. WE GO.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?
DON'T YOU KNOW ME?

HELLO, JOE.

COME ON.
SIT DOWN, HARRY.

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS
DOING HERE?

WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE
WE'RE DOING HERE?

HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE.

I HAD 5.

DIDN'T DO ANY GOOD.
I'M STILL SLEEPY.

COME ON. WE GO.

YEAH, HE'S RIGHT.

I HAVEN'T SEEN
MY WIFE FOR SO LONG.

AS SOON AS I DELIVER
THIS LOAD,

I'M HOT-TAILING IT
HOME EMPTY.

BET WHEN I WALK IN,

THE KIDS WILL SAY,
"WHO'S THAT MAN?"

YOU SHOULD HAVE
WROTE, HARRY.

I KNOW HOW WORRIED
PEARL GETS.

NO USE WRITING NOW.

GONNA BE HOME
TOMORROW NIGHT

AND SURPRISE HER.

I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN
DOING PRETTY GOOD.

YEAH. I GOT THE TRUCK
ALL PAID FOR.

DON'T OWE A CENT.

WELL,
COME ON. LET'S GO.

WHEN YOU GUYS ARE
HITTING THE ROAD

TOMORROW NIGHT,

THINK OF ME IN THAT
NICE WHITE BED.

SO LONG, GUYS.

SO LONG, HARRY.

YOU GOTTA HAVE YOUR
BRAINS KNOCKED OUT

TO BE A TRUCKDRIVER.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO,
BUT IT HELPS.

HERE SHE GOES, BOYS...
THE LAST GAME.

THEN I CAN
HIT THE ROAD.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
I GET TANGLED UP

WITH THEM MACHINES.

THEY ALMOST COST ME
MY JOB 3 TIMES.

IRISH, YOU
REMEMBER CASSIE.

SURE. HIYA, CASSIE.
QUIT WORKING FOR BARNEY?

YEAH. HE WAS ALWAYS TRYING
TO TIE MY APRON STRINGS.

THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH THAT.

THERE IS IF YOU'RE
NOT WEARING ANY APRON.

58 FREE GAMES!

I'LL NEVER GET
AWAY FROM HERE.

WHAT'S THAT FOR?

GONNA PASS.

IF IT'S CLEAR AHEAD,
HE'LL WINK BACK AT ME.

THAT'S FUNNY.

IT LOOKS CLEAR
TO ME. HEY, PAUL.

YEAH? WHAT IS IT?

AIN'T THAT McNAMARA'S TRUCK

UP AHEAD OF US?

WHAT DO I CARE
WHOSE TRUCK IT IS?

YEAH, IT LOOKS
LIKE IT.

Paul: IT IS.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HIM?
HE'S ALL OVER THE ROAD.

HE MUST BE ASLEEP.

BLOW YOUR HORN.

NOT UNLESS
I HAVE TO.

HE MIGHT COME TO

AND RUN HIS RIG
OFF THE ROAD.

WE GOT TO TRY
TO HEAD HIM OFF.

WATCH OUT HE DON'T
CUT INTO US.

GET OVER CLOSE.

I'LL TRY TO
HIT HIS HOOD WITH THIS

AND WAKE HIM UP.

PULL OVER CLOSER,

AND I'LL TRY
TO HOP ABOARD!

Cassie: WATCH OUT!

Joe: GRAB
THE EXTINGUISHER!

HOW MANY IN THERE?

THERE WERE 2.

OH, PAUL,
YOU'RE LATE.

HOW'S ABOUT COMING IN
FOR SOME COFFEE, JOE?

OH, THIS IS
CASSIE HARTLEY.

THIS IS PEARL,
PAUL'S WIFE.

HELLO.

PLEASED TO KNOW YOU.

COME ON, JOE.
IT'S COLD OUT HERE.

CAN'T STOP THIS TRIP.

I'LL JUST ABOUT MAKE
THE MARKET NOW.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH PAUL?

HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

HE JUST NEEDS A GOOD
NIGHT'S SLEEP.

TELL HIM I'LL
WIRE HIM FROM L.A.

WHAT TIME I'LL
PICK HIM UP TOMORROW.

BYE.
GOOD-BYE.

BYE.

I CAN'T FIGURE YOU OUT.

IF YOU TOOK CARE OF
YOUR TRUCK

THE WAY YOU TAKE CARE
OF YOURSELVES,

IT WOULD FALL APART
IN 2 WEEKS.

WE'RE TOUGHER

THAN ANY TRUCK TO COME
OFF ANY ASSEMBLY LINE.

I BET YOUR FRIEND HARRY McNAMARA

THOUGHT THAT, TOO.

FORGET ABOUT HARRY,
WILL YOU?

HE PROBABLY
WAS SO TIRED,

HE THOUGHT THE WHOLE
THING WAS A DREAM.

HOW MUCH MONEY
YOU GOT?

COME ON. HOW MUCH?

$1.12.

JUST WHAT I THOUGHT.

NOT EVEN ENOUGH
TO RENT A ROOM.

I'LL GET BY.

HOW?

WHEN I GET
RID OF THIS LOAD,

I'LL GET YOU A ROOM.

YOU NEEDN'T DO THAT.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE RIDE.
YOU'VE BEEN NICE.

IF I LET YOU GO,
I'LL BE WORRYING

AND WONDERING WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOU,

AND I GOT
ENOUGH WORRIES

THE WAY IT IS.

I GUESS I'D BE PRETTY DUMB
NOT TO SAY YES.

MAYBE I'M DUMB ANYWAY.

YOU CAN FIGURE
THAT OUT LATER.

I AIN'T USED TO
TAKING IN ROOMERS

AT 4:30 IN THE MORNING.

Joe: IT'S NEVER
TOO LATE TO START.

SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE
CHECK IN AT 4:30.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.
I NEVER SEE ANY OF THEM.

ANYWAY, YOU GOT
A BED FOR A WEEK.

YEAH. THAT'LL GIVE ME TIME
TO FIND SOMETHING TO DO.

I'LL PAY YOU BACK.

I'M REAL WORRIED
ABOUT THAT.

I GOT IT ALL DOPED
OUT WITH THE COPS

IF YOU DON'T.

WHAT ARE YOU
CRYING FOR?

I DON'T KNOW.

JUST CRYING.

IF YOU GOT A LOAD OF
YOUR FACE, YOU'D STOP.

YOU LOOK LIKE

YOU WALKED THROUGH
A SPRINKLING SYSTEM.

OH, YOU DAMES
ARE SURE SCREWY.

PAUL'S WIFE'S ALWAYS PULLING
THE SAME STUFF, TOO.

WHAT STUFF?

OH, ONE MINUTE
SHE'S ALL RIGHT,

THE NEXT MINUTE,
SHE'S BAWLING.

SHE NEVER KNOWS WHY.

THE TROUBLE WITH HER
IS SHE WANTS A KID.

PAUL SAYS NO GO.
THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT.

DON'T GET ME WRONG.

THAT'S NOT WHY
I'M CRYING.

I GET A KICK OUT OF YOU.

I'VE PICKED UP LOTS
OF GIRLS ON THE ROAD,

BUT NONE OF THEM
EVER WAS LIKE YOU.

COME HERE.

COME ON. I AIN'T
GONNA BITE YOU.

OH, I WASN'T
AFRAID OF THAT.

I ALWAYS HAVE
LIKED REDHEADS.

YOU SHOULDN'T.
RED MEANS STOP.

I'M COLOR BLIND.

WELL, UH... I THINK
I'D BETTER UNPACK.

JOE, DON'T YOU THINK

YOU'D BETTER
GET ON YOUR HORSE?

WHAT'S THE RUSH?

WE GOT A LOT OF THINGS
TO TALK ABOUT.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT THOSE
SOME OTHER TIME.

NOW IS A NICE TIME.

WHEN I'M RELAXED,
MY THOUGHTS ARE CLEAR.

YES. I CAN EVEN
READ THEM FROM HERE.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING, RED?

I LIKE YOU.

I LIKE THE WAY YOU
FILL OUT YOUR CLOTHES.

I LIKE EVERYTHING
ABOUT YOU.

ARE YOU GLAD
YOU RAN ONTO ME?

YES.

YOU'RE A NICE GUY.

BUT YOU'VE
GOT TO REMEMBER

THAT NICE GUYS
ALWAYS LEAVE

WHEN LADIES ASK THEM TO.

THAT NICE, I AIN'T.

MISTER,
YOU WORRY ME.

OH, CASSIE.

HMM?

YOU'RE PLENTY BEAUTIFUL.

JOE, YOU NEED SLEEP,
AND SO DO I.

WILL YOU DO ME A FAVOR
AND GET GOING?

JOE?

JOE.

OH, I'M SORRY
I WOKE YOU UP,

BUT I WAS TRYING TO
SHUT OUT THE KID NOISE.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

OHH.

I GOT TO GET GOING.

YOU SURE SLEPT.

THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE
BEEN IN A BED IN WEEKS.

IT FELT GOOD.

WHERE DID YOU SLEEP?

CHAIR.

OH, I'M SORRY, KID.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO GYP YOU
OUT OF YOUR BED.

YOU DIDN'T
MEAN ANYTHING.

YOU WENT OUT LIKE
YOU WERE SLUGGED.

YOU OUGHTA GET
YOURSELF A REGULAR JOB.

WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD

IN THE TRUCKING
BUSINESS?

I'M ON MY OWN, ANYWAY.

YOU KNOW, IF A GUY
CAN GET TOGETHER

2 OR 3 BIG RIGS,

THERE'S A FORTUNE
IN THIS BUSINESS.

YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT,
DON'T YOU, JOE?

SURE, I BELIEVE IT.

IF I DIDN'T, I'D BE
ON PAUL'S SIDE.

I'D QUIT RIGHT NOW

AND LET THAT CHISELER
FARNSWORTH TAKE THE TRUCK

AND GO OUT AND GRAB A JOB
DIGGING DITCHES.

AFTER WHAT I SAW
LAST NIGHT,

DIGGING DITCHES LOOKS
PRETTY GOOD TO ME.

NO FUTURE IN IT.

HMM. A SHAVE
WOULDN'T GO BAD,

BUT I AIN'T
GOT TIME NOW.

I GOT TO GET DOWN
TO THE MARKET

AND HUSTLE UP
A LOAD.

WHEN'LL YOU BE BACK?

OH, THAT DEPENDS.

MAYBE A COUPLE
OF DAYS.

GOOD. I'LL HAVE
A JOB BY THEN.

OH, THAT'S THE TALK.

IN THE MEANTIME,
YOU GOT TO EAT.

HERE. THIS WON'T
TAKE YOU

INTO THE COCOANUT
GROVE,

BUT YOU OUGHT TO GET
ENOUGH HAM AND EGGS

TILL I GET BACK.

YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND.
YOU MAY NEVER SEE ME AGAIN.

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THAT.

I'LL SEE YOU.

JOE.

DON'T GO TO SLEEP
ON THE ROAD.

I WON'T. NOT AFTER
A PEP-UP LIKE THAT.

AND DON'T PRACTICE THAT
ON ANYONE ELSE.

SAVE IT FOR ME.

HIYA, FATSO.

HOW ARE YA, JOE?

I BEEN EATING.
WHERE YOU GOING?

I'M GONNA PICK UP
SOME WATERMELONS.

WHO GAVE YOU
THE LOAD?

ME. A GUY WOULD
GET BLISTERS

SITTING AROUND THIS TOWN
WAITING FOR A LOAD,

SO I'M GOING DOWN
TO IMPERIAL

AND BUY SOME OF THEM
BABIES MYSELF.

WHEN THE MARKET
OPENS UP TOMORROW,

I OUGHT TO CLEAN UP.

YOU KNOW, THEY AIN'T HARDLY
GOT A WATERMELON IN TOWN.

THAT'S ONE WAY TO DO IT.
WELL, GOOD LUCK, GUY.

THANKS.
SAME TO YOU.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING

WITH THAT
BROKEN-DOWN TUB?

PARKING IT. WHY?

GET IT OUT OF THERE,

OR I'LL PARK ONE
ON YOUR CHIN.

I WAS HERE FIRST.

DON'T LOOK THAT WAY
TO ME.

SMACK HIM
ON THE CHIN, BOY.

SHOOT FOR HIS BUTTON.
GO ON! GO ON!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT DO YOU THINK,
THE GUY'S SELLING BANANAS?

IT'S A FIGHT!

LOOK! GET IN THERE NOW!

GO AHEAD. GO AHEAD!

ED, STOP YELLING
OUT THE WINDOW.

YOU'RE NOT A TRUCK
DRIVER ANYMORE.

GEE, SUGAR. CAN I HELP IT
IF I GET A LITTLE EXCITED?

WHEN WE GOT MARRIED,

YOU PROMISED TO ACT
LIKE A GENTLEMAN.

IT'S DISGUSTING TO SEE
THE HEAD OF A BIG COMPANY

MAKING MORE NOISE THAN
ANY OF HIS DRIVERS.

ONE OF THOSE GUYS
LOOKS LIKE JOE FABRINI.

IT IS JOE!

YOU REMEMBER JOE,
DON'T YOU?

YEAH.

AND JOE SHOULDN'T BE FIGHTING
IN THE STREET LIKE THAT, TOO.

AH, YOU'LL NEED
THE OTHER EYE

FOR THE ROAD.

AND THIS AIN'T MAKING
EITHER ONE OF US ANY MONEY.

LOOK OUT, JOE!

NOW. HEY,
JOE FABRINI! CHAMP.

HEY, JOE! JOE FABRINI.

COME ON UP HERE

AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO
WITH A GOOD MAN. HA HA!

I USED TO COULD HIT
LIKE THAT.

AND GET HIT, TOO.
HA HA HA!

OH, BOY.

IS HE COMING UP?

YEAH. AND A GREAT GUY
HE IS, TOO.

SAY, LANA,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH ALL THE DOUGH?

THIS IS 200 BUCKS
THIS WEEK.

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GIVE YOU
AN ITEMIZED ACCOUNT?

PENNY BY PENNY?

OH, NO, SUG.

YOU USE ALL OF IT
YOU WANT.

IF YOU'RE GONNA
LOOK LIKE A MILLION,

YOU GOT TO SPEND
A MILLION, EH?

OH, ED, PLEASE. I'VE
JUST GOT MY MAKEUP ON.

DO YOU HAVE TO GET ROMANTIC
AROUND NOONTIME?

WHERE YOU'RE CONCERNED,
I DON'T WATCH THE CLOCK.

WELL, I WISH YOU WOULD.

AS LONG AS YOU'RE
HAVING A VISITOR,

YOU MAY AS WELL
PUT YOUR COAT ON.

EVEN IF YOU CAN'T
SOUND LIKE AN EXECUTIVE,

YOU MIGHT TRY
LOOKING LIKE ONE.

OH, YOU'RE GONNA
MAKE A GENTLEMAN

OUT OF ME YET.

I DOUBT IT.

OH. WHAT IS IT?
WHAT IS IT?

YES? WHAT... OH,

I WISH THEY'D STOP
INVENTING THINGS.

JOE FABRINI
TO SEE YOU.

HUH? WHAT? OH, WELL,
SHOOT HIM RIGHT IN.

HELLO, JOE.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE,
JACK DEMPSEY? AHEM.

WHAT IS THAT,
A GAG?

OH, SHH! NO.

IT'S LANA. SHE THINKS IT
MAKES ME LOOK DIGNIFIED.

WHAT WAS THE BEEF
OUT THERE?

OH, NOTHING MUCH.

HELLO, MRS. CARLSEN.

HELLO.

WELL, WHERE HAVE YOU
BEEN HIDING?

IT'S A WONDER

YOU WOULDN'T COME UP
AND SEE A GUY SOMETIME.

I'VE BEEN
PRETTY BUSY.

THE MICE MUST HAVE
GOT INTO THIS.

THAT WAS NO MICE.
THAT WAS A RAT.

HA HA HA! VERY FUNNY.
VERY FUNNY, BABE. HA HA!

THAT'S JUST LIKE LANA.

RIGHT ON THE TRIGGER
EVERY TIME.

WELL, YOU AND I WILL
STRIKE A BLOW FOR LIBERTY.

YOU KNOW I NEVER
TOUCH IT.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I'LL STRIKE THE BLOW
FOR BOTH OF US.

WELL... OH. OH.

HA.

YOUR LIVER MUST LOOK
LIKE A BOMB HIT IT.

HA HA HA!

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY...
LIVE AND LET LIVER.

HA HA HA!

OR... OR... LIVER,
STAY AWAY FROM MY DOOR.

HA HA HA!

IT'S A CINCH TO THINK
OF FAST ONES LIKE THAT

WHEN YOU'VE BEEN MARRIED
TO A SMART GIRL FOR 7 YEARS.

NOW, JOE,
PARK IT THERE.

UH... OH, THANKS.

SAY, JOE... WHY
DON'T YOU CUT OUT

TRYING TO BEAT
THIS WILDCAT GAME

AND GO TO WORK FOR ME?

YOU BEAT IT,
DIDN'T YOU?

WELL, YES. YOU'RE LEADING
WITH YOUR CHIN, BOY.

NOW, WHEN YOU'RE
WORKING FOR ME

OR ANY OTHER
REAL TRUCKING OUTFIT,

YOU CAN ONLY DRIVE
8 HOURS AT A CLIP,

AND YOU'RE SURE OF BOTH
YOUR SLEEP AND YOUR PAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M GONNA DO, ED?

NO.

PAUL AND ME ARE STARTING
TO BUY OUR OWN LOADS.

AFTER THIS, WE'RE
GONNA MAKE THE PROFITS

INSTEAD OF
16 OTHER GUYS.

I'M JUST GETTING
5 BRAND-NEW DIESELS.

I'D SURE LIKE TO SEE
YOU AND PAUL ON ONE OF THEM.

THANKS, ED,

BUT I STILL LIKE
TO BE MY OWN BOSS.

YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ED.

HE'S TALKING SENSE
FOR ONCE.

OH, DON'T GET ME WRONG,
MRS. CARLSEN.

I PROBABLY SOUND LIKE

I DON'T APPRECIATE
ED'S OFFER.

I DO.

BUT I'D STILL LIKE
TO TRY IT MY WAY.

JUST A FEW BREAKS,

AND MAYBE I'LL BE
HIRING ED.

YEAH. AND ED'LL BE
HAULING FOR YOU, TOO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU
CAN BUY ANY LOADS?

NO. I AIN'T
LOOKED INTO IT YET.

UH-HUH. HA HA!

I KNOW JUST THE GUY.
HE KNOWS ALL THE ANGLES,

AND SINCE I'M GONNA BE
WORKING FOR YOU SOMEDAY,

I MIGHT JUST AS WELL

START GETTING ON YOUR
GOOD SIDE RIGHT NOW.

AND YOU BETTER
BE NICE TO HIM, TOO.

I'M ALWAYS NICE
TO YOUR FRIENDS.

HA HA! YOU SEE THAT?

SHE KILLS ME.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

WHERE WERE YOU
LAST THURSDAY?

ON THE ROAD,
I GUESS.

YOU'RE LYING.

YOU WERE HERE IN TOWN.
ONE OF THE BOYS SAW YOU.

SO I WAS IN TOWN.

I WAITED SO LONG IN FRONT
OF THAT RESTAURANT,

THEY THOUGHT I WAS A PICKET.

DON'T YOU EVER
KEEP A DATE?

I DIDN'T MAKE A DATE.

YOU DID.

I TOLD YOU THEN
I WOULDN'T BE THERE,

AND I'M
TELLING YOU NOW,

I'LL NEVER BE THERE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH ME?

NOTHING...

EXCEPT YOU GOT
A HUSBAND, MRS. CARLSEN.

AND IT HAPPENS THAT

HE'S A GOOD FRIEND
OF MINE.

UNDERSTAND?

OH, YOU'VE BEEN LISTENING
TO SOME NARROW-MINDED PEOPLE.

THERE. WHAT WOULD THEY
SAY ABOUT THAT?

YOU KNOW WHAT'S GONNA
HAPPEN TO YOU?

ONE OF THESE DAYS,
ED IS GONNA CATCH YOU,

AND WHEN HE DOES,

HE'S GONNA SLAP
YOUR EARS OFF.

I WONDER WHAT I SEE
IN YOU, ANYWAY.

YOU'RE CRUDE,
YOU'RE UNEDUCATED,

YOU'VE NEVER
HAD A PAIR OF PANTS

WITH A CREASE IN THEM,

AND YET I COULDN'T
SAY NO TO YOU.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
I'M NOT ASKING YOU.

YOU BETTER GET
2 CASES.

BOURBON!

JOE.

YES?

GO HERE.

THAT'S THE UNITED
WAREHOUSE IN POMONA.

ASK FOR OSCAR DRAKE.

HE'S GOT A FLOORLOAD
OF CULLED LEMONS

HE'S DYING
TO GET RID OF.

THAT AIN'T BAD.

THERE'S A FLU EPIDEMIC
UP NORTH,

AND THEY'RE
HOT FOR LEMONS.

YEAH. THE GUY'S HAD THE FRUIT
LYING AROUND THERE

FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW,

SO YOU GOT HIM
OVER A BARREL.

A COUPLE MORE DAYS,

AND HE WON'T BE ABLE
TO GIVE IT AWAY.

GOT ANY MONEY?

ENOUGH FOR A LOAD.
THANKS, ED.

AH.

I WON'T FORGET THIS.

I KNOW.

GOOD-BYE,
MRS. CARLSEN.

GOOD-BYE. IT WAS NICE
SEEING YOU AGAIN, JOE.

DON'T FORGET,

KEEP YOUR EYE
ON THAT WHITE LINE.

YOU BETCHA.

AND I'LL WATCH
ALL THE CURVES, TOO.

HA HA HA! NOW THERE'S
A GREAT FELLOW.

IF THERE'S ANYBODY
IN THE WORLD

COULD BEAT THAT
WILDCAT RACKET,

IT'S HIM.

FUNNY HOW THE DAMES

USED TO FALL
FOR HIM, HUH?

CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

NEITHER CAN I.

COURSE, BY DAMES, I MEAN
WAITRESSES AND SUCH.

NONE OF THEM WERE
HIGH-CLASS BROADS...

I MEAN, GALS
LIKE YOURSELF.

HA HA HA!

OH, PLEASE, ED!

SUPPOSE SOMEONE
SHOULD COME IN?

SUPPOSE SOMEONE
SHOULD COME IN?

THEN WE'D HAVE
TO GET MARRIED

ALL OVER AGAIN,

WOULDN'T WE?

YES, THANK YOU.

WHO WAS IT?

IT WAS A WIRE
FROM JOE.

HE'LL BE BY FOR YOU
IN ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR.

PAUL, I THINK YOU'D BETTER
LET JOE GO ON AGAIN.

YOU DIDN'T SLEEP
LAST NIGHT.

HOW COULD I?

EVERY TIME
I CLOSED MY EYES,

I COULD SEE THOSE
2 GUYS BURNING.

I'M THANKFUL
IT WASN'T YOU.

EVERY MINUTE
WHEN I'M ALONE,

I EXPECT SOMEONE
TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR

AND TELL ME I'M A WIDOW.

PLEASE STAY HERE TONIGHT
AND GET SOME SLEEP.

I CAN'T. I WAS ENOUGH
OF A HEEL LAST NIGHT,

WALKING OUT ON JOE
THE WAY I DID.

I GUESS I'D TRY ANYTHING

TO KEEP YOU HOME
ONE MORE DAY.

I'M ALONE SO MUCH,

IT'S GOT ME TALKING
TO MYSELF.

PAUL... WHY CAN'T I
HAVE A BABY?

MAYBE THEN, I WOULDN'T
BE SO... SO LONELY.

AH, THERE YOU GO.

SINGING THE SAME
OLD SONG.

YOU KNOW WE CAN'T
AFFORD A KID.

IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG
FROM YOU.

HOW LONG DO YOU THINK I'M
GOING TO STAY YOUNG ENOUGH?

ALL THE GIRLS
I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH

HAVE 2 OR 3 KIDS NOW.

YEAH, THE GIRLS YOU
WENT TO SCHOOL WITH

WERE SMART ENOUGH TO MARRY
GUYS WITH REAL JOBS.

PAUL.

PAUL, I'M NOT
BLAMING YOU.

I'M COMPLAINING
FOR BOTH OF US.

WE'VE GOT A RIGHT

TO A BETTER LIFE
THAN THIS.

YOU COULD GET A JOB,

AND EVEN THOUGH THERE
WASN'T MUCH MONEY IT IT,

YOU'D GET IT EVERY WEEK,

AND YOU'D
BE HOME NIGHTS.

YEAH. YEAH. TRY AND
TELL THAT TO JOE.

WHO ARE YOU MARRIED
TO, JOE OR ME?

I CAN'T LEAVE HIM
OUT ON A LIMB

AS LONG AS HE THINKS

WE GOT A CHANCE
IN THIS BUSINESS.

THERE HE IS NOW.

HE MUST HAVE BURNED
THE RUBBER OFF THAT RIG.

WELL... I'LL SEE YOU
IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

PAUL, BE CAREFUL.

DON'T WORRY, HONEY.

EVERYTHING'S GOING
TO BE ALL RIGHT.

LISTEN, WE'LL HAVE
SO MANY KIDS,

WE'LL RUN OUT
OF NAMES.

HIYA, FABRINI.

OH. HIYA.

YOUR TRUCK AROUND?

YEAH. I GOT IT PARKED
UNDER THE KITCHEN SINK.

THERE'S NO USE GETTING
SMART WITH ME.

I'M ACTING WITHIN
MY LEGAL RIGHTS.

YOU'RE 3 INSTALLMENTS
BEHIND ON YOUR TRUCK.

EITHER YOU PAY,
OR I TAKE THE TRUCK.

YOU AND WHO ELSE?

ME. AND DON'T TRY TO GET
TOUGH ABOUT IT, BUDDY.

WHERE'S THE TRUCK?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'LL BE ALONG.

HE AND HIS BROTHER
ALWAYS RIDE TOGETHER.

I AIN'T RIDING
WITH HIM ANYMORE.

HE MAY NOT BE BY HERE
FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL WAIT.

IF YOU GET THIRSTY,
COME ON IN,

AND I'LL GIVE YOU
A MICKEY.

I'M GOING OUT THE BACK

AND HEAD JOE OFF
AT THE HIGHWAY.

PAUL, IF YOU DIDN'T
DO ANYTHING,

WE'D BE OUT OF
THE TRUCKING BUSINESS.

YOU'D GET THAT JOB WITH
A REGULAR PAY ENVELOPE,

AND YOU'D BE HOME NIGHTS.

IT'S WHAT WE BOTH WANT.

YEAH. THAT'S WHAT
I WANT, ALL RIGHT.

BUT I DON'T WANT
TO GET IT

BY DOUBLE-CROSSING
JOE.

IF I CAN SAVE THE RIG,
I GOT TO SAVE IT.

KEEP ROLLING. FARNSWORTH'S
AT THE HOUSE WITH THE LAW.

WELL, HE AIN'T
GOT US THIS TIME.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

IF HE DON'T GET US
THIS TIME,

HE'LL GET US THE NEXT.
WHAT ARE WE HAULING?

LEMONS.

WHO FOR?

OURSELVES.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I BOUGHT THE LOAD

WITH THE MONEY WE
GOT FROM WILLIAMS.

ALL OF IT?

ALL OF IT.

OH, EXCEPT 2 BUCKS
FOR ROLLING DOUGH.

I BOUGHT THE STUFF
FOR 80 CENTS A BOX.

JOE, ARE YOU NUTS?

RELAX, WILL YOU?

WHEN WE SELL THE LOAD,

WE'LL HAVE TWICE WHAT
WE STARTED WITH.

YOU MEAN IF WE
SELL THE LOAD.

DON'T I RATE IN THIS OUTFIT?
WHAT AM I, JUST A STOOGE?

HALF OF THAT DOUGH WAS MINE...
MINE AND PEARL'S.

DON'T I EVEN GET ASKED
ABOUT ANYTHING?

A GUY'S GOT TO BE AROUND
BEFORE YOU ASK HIM.

YEAH, I'M SORRY
ABOUT THAT.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE
WALKED OUT ON YOU, JOE.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I ALMOST THREW IN
THE TOWEL MYSELF.

WELL, DID YOU SEE ANY OF
YOUR OLD GIRLFRIENDS IN L.A.?

NOPE. DIDN'T
HAVE TIME.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

JOE FABRINI DIDN'T HAVE TIME
TO SEE EVEN ONE DAME?

YOU HEARD ME.

HA HA HA!

IT'S JUST LIKE
I'VE BEEN SAYING...

THIS BUSINESS IS REALLY
TEARING US DOWN.

HIYA, BOYS.
WHAT DO YOU GOT?

A LOAD OF LEMONS.
YOU WANT TO SEE THEM?

I REALLY DON'T
WANT NO LEMONS,

BUT I GUESS IT WON'T
HURT IF I TAKE A LOOK.

YOU CAN HAVE A LOOK.

HOW'S THE MARKET?

OH, ONLY FAIR.

DROP IT RIGHT
DOWN THERE.

I HEAR YOU GOT MARRIED.

OH, FORGET THAT.

NICE STUFF, EH?

THIS AIN'T NO LEMON.
THIS IS A LEMONETTE.

DON'T TRY TO KID US.

WE'VE BEEN HAULING FRUIT
LONG ENOUGH

TO KNOW GOOD STUFF
WHEN WE SEE IT.

I HATE LEMONS, EVEN
IF THEY'RE GOOD ONES.

COME ON. QUIT
STALLING, GEORGE.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM?

IT ALL DEPENDS UPON WHAT
YOU'RE ASKING, BOYS.

WE'LL LEAVE THAT
UP TO YOU.

I TELL YOU WHAT
I'LL DO, BOYS.

SINCE YOU COME
TO SEE ME FIRST,

I'LL GIVE YOU
$3.50 A BOX.

OH, NO. NO DEAL. COME ON.
GIVE ME A HAND, PAUL.

WAIT A MINUTE, BOYS.

I'LL TREAT YOU RIGHT.
YOU KNOW THAT.

NAME YOUR OWN PRICE.

WELL, WE HAULED
THIS STUFF A LONG WAY

AND WE PAID
A GOOD PRICE FOR THEM.

WE FIGURE THEY'RE WORTH
5 BUCKS A BOX.

BOYS, YOU GOT ME
MIXED UP

WITH SANTA CLAUS.

OK. NO HARD FEELINGS.

COME ON, PAUL. WE'LL
TAKE 'EM DOWN TO RILEY'S.

WE MIGHT EVEN
GET 6 FROM HIM.

I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT I'LL DO, GUYS.

I'LL GIVE YOU
$4.00 A BOX,

BUT I WANT YOU TO
THROW IN SOME FILL-INS.

WE BOUGHT 145 BOXES,

AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE SELLING.

OK, ROBBER.
145 BOXES...

$4.00 A BOX
IS 580 SIMOLEONS.

THAT'S ALL
YOU'LL GET.

I DON'T KNOW,
GEORGE. I...

ALL RIGHT.
IT'S A DEAL.

HEY, UNION. HARVEY.

DUMP THAT LOAD.

I'LL GET YOU
YOUR MONEY.

ALL RIGHT, GEORGE.

HERE. YOU ALWAYS
LIKED APPLES.

I HOPE I NEVER HAVE
ANOTHER 5 MINUTES

LIKE THAT AGAIN.

WE MADE 500 PROFIT
ON THE DEAL.

WE SHOULD HAVE A LOT OF
5 MINUTES LIKE THAT.

WELL, WE'RE FINALLY
ROLLING, HUH?

IT LOOKS THAT WAY.
WHAT NEXT?

WE'LL BUY ANOTHER LOAD.

THEN WE'LL BUY
SOME MORE LOADS.

THEN WE'LL BUY
ANOTHER TRUCK.

THEN WE'LL BUY
SOME MORE TRUCKS.

WHOA, NOW.
WAIT A MINUTE.

MAYBE WE'D BETTER
PAY FOR THIS ONE FIRST.

DON'T WORRY.

WE'LL SEND FARNSWORTH
SOME DOUGH TOMORROW.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

20, 40, 60, 80.

580.

THANKS.

IF YOU GUYS GOT
ANY MORE GOOD LOADS,

DON'T FORGET, I
TREATED YOU RIGHT.

WE'LL COME
STRAIGHT TO YOU.

COME ON. I WANNA
USE THE PHONE.

GIVE ME A FLOCK
OF CHANGE, LEO.

SAY, WHO YOU CALLING?

CASSIE.

CASSIE? WHO'S THAT?

THAT GAL WE PICKED UP
ON THE ROAD.

I JUST WANT TO FIND OUT
HOW SHE'S DOING.

I THOUGHT NOTHING
HAPPENED WITH THAT DAME.

NOTHING DID.

BUT I AIN'T SAYING
NOTHING WON'T.

GIVE ME LONG DISTANCE.

HELLO?
HELLO, JOE?

DID SOMETHING
HAPPEN TO YOU?

YOU WEREN'T
IN A...

NAH. NOTHING HAPPENED.
NOTHING BAD, ANYWAY.

I WAS SCARED
WHEN SHE TOLD ME

SAN FRANCISCO
WAS CALLING.

I KNEW IT WAS YOU
OR ABOUT YOU.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

OH, I JUST KNEW.
IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

EVERYTHING IS GREAT.

WE GOT MORE DOUGH THAN
WE EVER SEEN BEFORE.

SAY, UH, THIS IS
A FUNNY TIME

TO CALL UP A GIRL,
AIN'T IT?

OH, I DON'T MIND.
I'M GLAD YOU CALLED.

I WAS WORRIED
ABOUT YOU.

LOOK, CASSIE...

DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE
AT FIRST SIGHT?

IT SAVES
A LOT OF TIME.

WHEN ARE YOU
COMING BACK, JOE?

I THINK I WANT TO
GET BACK THERE AND SEE YOU

AS FAST AS WE CAN
BUY ANOTHER LOAD.

BE CAREFUL. DON'T
DRIVE TOO FAST.

I WANT TO
SEE YOU QUICK,

BUT I WANT TO SEE YOU
ALL IN ONE PIECE.

Operator: YOUR
3 MINUTES ARE UP.

DEPOSIT 50 CENTS

FOR AN ADDITIONAL
MINUTE, PLEASE.

DON'T SPEND
ANY MORE, JOE.

WHEN YOU GET BACK
TO TOWN,

WE CAN TALK
ALL YOU WANT TO,

AND IT WON'T
COST A...

HELLO? HELLO?

GIVE ME A CUP
OF COFFEE, LEO.

HA HA HA!

OH, THAT WAS GREAT TALK.

PEARL AND ME USED TO HAVE
THEM SAME SILLY CONVERSATIONS

BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED.

WHO SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT GETTING MARRIED?

NOBODY, BUT YOU
CAN'T HORSE ME.

I KNOW THAT RASH
WHEN I SEE IT.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON
HOW SMART THE DAME IS.

OH, YOUR BRAKES
ARE DRAGGING. I...

OUR RIG'S MOVING!

HEY, WHERE DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE GOING?

OUT OF THAT TRUCK!
COME ON!

YOU, OUT
THE OTHER SIDE!

FELLOWS, I'M STRICTLY
WITHIN MY LEGAL RIGHTS.

YOU KNOW THE LAW.

YOU'D LOOK PRETTY
SILLY GOING AROUND

WITH A MONKEY WRENCH
GROWING OUT OF YOUR HEAD.

YOU TOUCH ME, AND I'LL
CALL A POLICEMAN!

IF I TOUCH YOU, YOU'LL
CALL AN AMBULANCE.

HOW MUCH DO WE OWE YOU?

$300 PLUS $50 INTEREST.

YOU SURE YOU AIN'T
GYPPING YOURSELF?

WHERE'S THAT LOAN PAPER?

I GOT IT
RIGHT THERE.

WELL, MARK ON IT
"PAID IN FULL"

IN BIG LETTERS

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE GETTING... CASH.

1, 2, 3, 20, 40, 60.

HERE. GIVE ME A 10.

OF COURSE,
YOU UNDERSTAND

THERE'S NOTHING
PERSONAL ABOUT THIS.

YEAH, WE UNDERSTAND.
WE LOVE YOU, TOO.

NOW GET OUT OF HERE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
BE NASTY ABOUT IT.

WE DON'T HAVE TO BE,

BUT IT'S MORE FUN
THAT WAY.

HEY, JOE,
WHAT DO YOU SAY

WE THROW THIS MONKEY
OVER THE TRUCK?

THAT'S NOT A BAD IDEA.

HA HA HA!
HA HA HA!

WELL, BABY,
YOU'RE ALL OURS.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D LIVE
TO SEE THIS DAY.

YOU'RE GONNA LIVE

TO SEE BETTER DAYS
THAN THIS.

COME ON. WE JUST GOT
ENOUGH DOUGH LEFT

TO BUY ANOTHER LOAD.

HIYA, FABRINI.

GOT THAT DOUGH
YOU OWE ME?

YEAH. I'M GONNA
PAY YOU IN FULL.

I CONGRATULATE MYSELF.
WHAT ARE YOU HAULING?

PEARS.

OH, FILL IT UP
WITH GAS, HUH?

WELL, I SEE PAUL'S
ASLEEP AGAIN,

AS USUAL.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT
MY BROTHER SLEEPING

THAT ANNOYS YOU SO MUCH?

YOU'VE ALWAYS GOT
YOUR NOSE

IN EVERYBODY ELSE'S
BUSINESS.

COME ON. FILL HER UP.

OK. ONLY IF IT WAS ME,

I'D GET A LITTLE SLEEP
ONCE IN A WHILE MYSELF

AND LET HIM
DO SOME DRIVING.

PAUL? PAUL.

YEAH.

YEAH. WHAT...
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

NOTHING,

BUT YOU'D BETTER TAKE
THE WHEEL FOR A WHILE.

I'M KNOCKED OUT.

WHERE ARE WE... HAIG'S?

WHAT DO YOU SAY YOU AND I
STOP OVER HERE

AND GRAB A COUPLE HOURS
OF SHUTEYE, HUH?

WHAT A GUY.

FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN OUR LIVES,

WE GET AHEAD
IN THIS RACKET,

AND HE WANTS
TO STOP AND SLEEP.

SURE, I WANT TO SLEEP.

EVERYONE SLEEPS ONCE
IN A WHILE, REMEMBER?

YOU'D THINK I WANTED TO DO
SOMETHING PECULIAR.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH. I'M ALL RIGHT.

BUT MY BROTHER'S
IN THE TRUCK.

SHOOT YOUR LIGHTS
DOWN THERE.

COME ON. COME ON.
THERE. HOLD IT.

PAUL. PAUL!

I'LL GO AND GET HELP.

PAUL!

JOE, HOW IS HE?

BUSTED UP, BUT HE'S
GONNA BE OK.

AT FIRST, THEY THOUGHT
HIS SKULL WAS FRACTURED,

BUT IT AIN'T.

WHERE IS HE?

DOWN HERE.

IT WAS ALL
MY FAULT, PEARL.

HE WANTED TO STOP AND SLEEP,
AND I MADE HIM DRIVE.

DON'T BLAME YOURSELF.

IT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN
SOONER OR LATER.

I'M GRATEFUL
HE'S ALIVE.

THE TRUCK'S GONE,
I SUPPOSE.

COMPLETE WRECK.

LOAD'S SMASHED, AND NOT
A CENT OF INSURANCE.

AND WE WERE JUST STARTING
TO DO PRETTY GOOD, TOO.

IT'S ALWAYS THAT WAY,
ISN'T IT?

YOU AND PAUL WILL
GET ANOTHER TRUCK

AND BE BACK
ON THE ROAD AGAIN.

WAIT. BEFORE YOU GO IN...

YES?

LOOKS LIKE PAUL'S GONNA BE
OUT OF WORK FOR SOME TIME.

I DON'T WANT YOU
TO WORRY, SEE.

WHILE HE'S GETTING WELL,
I'LL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.

WHAT ARE YOU
TRYING TO DO,

SOFTEN THE BLOW?

HOW BAD IS HE?

OH, HE'S ALL RIGHT...

A COUPLE OF CUTS
HERE AND THERE...

ALL EXCEPT HIS RIGHT ARM.

THEY THOUGHT...
WELL, THEY HAD TO DO IT.

I'M GONNA
SURPRISE YOU.

I'M GONNA
SURPRISE YOU A LOT.

I'M ALMOST GLAD
IT HAPPENED!

YOU'RE WHAT?

YOU HEARD ME.
I'M ALMOST GLAD.

NOW HE CAN'T DRIVE
A TRUCK ANYMORE.

NOW HE'LL BE HOME
NIGHTS.

NOW I WON'T ALWAYS
BE ALONE, WORRIED.

MAYBE IT'S WORTH
A RIGHT ARM, JOE.

MAYBE IT'S WORTH IT.

HELLO, SUGAR.

DON'T YOU
EVER KNOCK?

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE MARRIED.
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?

YEAH.
HOW CAN I FORGET?

WELL, WHAT ARE
YOU GONNA DO,

OPEN UP A SHOP?

WHERE'S THE POLE
THAT GOES WITH THIS?

OH, TO SHOW YOU HOW THINGS
BREAK IN THIS BUSINESS,

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?

LAST NIGHT, THE FABRINI
BROTHERS SMACKED UP...

TRUCK AND ALL.

WAS JOE HURT?

NO. HE GOT SCRATCHED UP
A LITTLE.

HIS BROTHER LOST A WING.

OH.

WELL, WHAT ARE THEY
GONNA DO?

JOE'S GONNA WHEEL
A TRUCK FOR ME.

HE'S A GOOD MAN,

AND I HATE TO GET HIM
THAT WAY.

IF HE'S SUCH A GOOD MAN,

WHY ARE YOU WASTING HIM
OUT ON THE ROAD?

WHERE ELSE
AM I GONNA PUT HIM?

ANYONE WITH A BIG BACK
CAN DRIVE A TRUCK.

WHY DON'T YOU PUT HIM
IN THE GARAGE?

IN THE GARAGE?
WHAT WOULD HE DO THERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

THERE MUST BE A LOT
OF THINGS HE CAN DO.

YOU'RE ALWAYS
COMPLAINING

HOW TIRED YOU ARE.

MAYBE IF YOU HAD
SOMEONE TO HELP YOU,

YOU WOULDN'T ALWAYS FALL
ASLEEP AFTER DINNER.

YOU KNOW, SUG,

THAT AIN'T A BAD
IDEA OF YOURS.

ALWAYS THINKING
OF THE OLD MAN, HUH?

SURE I AM, ED,

BUT YOU NEVER GIVE ME
ANY CREDIT FOR IT.

Man: BRAKES?
Sweeney: CHECK.

HAND BRAKE?
CHECK.

TIRES?
CHECK.

SPARE TIRE?
CHECK.

EVERYTHING SET?
FINE.

OK, SWEENEY,
LET HER ROLL.

ALL RIGHT, JOE.

JOE.

IS ED READY?

I DON'T KNOW,
MRS. CARLSEN.

I'LL GO AND SEE.

NEVER MIND.
HE'LL BE DOWN.

GOT A MATCH?

NO LIGHTER
IN THIS CAR?

DOESN'T WORK.

DID ED TELL YOU

ABOUT OUR ANNIVERSARY
PARTY TOMORROW NIGHT?

YEAH. I'M SORRY.
I CAN'T MAKE IT.

BUT ED'S COUNTING
ON HAVING YOU!

WEREN'T YOU, ED?

SURE. WHAT IS IT,

AND HOW MUCH
DOES IT COST?

JOE SAYS HE CAN'T MAKE
OUR PARTY TOMORROW NIGHT.

SURE YOU CAN.

IT'S OUR NEW HOUSE.
I WANT YOU TO SEE IT.

I GAVE IT TO LANA
AS A SURPRISE...

AFTER SHE PICKED
IT OUT.

I HAD SOMETHING
PLANNED WITH PAUL

FOR TOMORROW NIGHT.

LOOK HERE. I'M BOSS.
THIS IS A ROYAL COMMAND.

YOU SHOW UP AT MY NEW
DUMP TOMORROW NIGHT.

PAUL DON'T PAY
YOUR SALARY, I DO.

OK, I'LL SHOW UP,

BUT I'VE GOT TO
LEAVE EARLY.

I KNEW ED COULD
BRING YOU AROUND.

HE MUST HAVE MORE APPEAL
THAN I HAVE.

SHE'S TERRIFIC.

YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH,
SHE PUTS HER FOOT IN IT.

UH-OH.
HERE COMES WORK.

GOOD NIGHT,
MRS. CARLSEN.

SEE YOU
TOMORROW, ED.

RIGHT ON THE NOSE, IRISH.

THEY MUST HAVE TAKEN OUT
ALL THE PINBALL MACHINES.

OH, THEY'RE
GETTING TOUGHER.

THEY GOT A NEW ONE
AT BARNEY'S THAT,

IF YOU HIT A WINNER,

IT MIXES YOU UP
A DRINK

AND TUCKS
YOU INTO BED,

BUT NOBODY
EVER WINS.

HI, IRISH!

HELLO, ED.

FUNNY.
SHE ALMOST NEVER

USED TO CALL FOR ED
AT NIGHTS

UNTIL YOU STARTED
WORKING HERE.

OR AM I TALKING
OUT OF TURN?

COME ON, CHECK
YOUR BILLS OF LADING

AND GET WASHED UP.

WE'RE GOING TO PAUL'S
FOR DINNER.

AGAIN?

HE'S SURE NICE SINCE
HE MOVED INTO TOWN.

YEAH. PEARL'S
COOKING A STEAK.

SWELL. AIN'T HAD A STEAK
SINCE BREAKFAST.

OH, BOY, I'M HUNGRY!

I WONDER WHAT THEY'RE
GONNA HAVE FOR DESSERT.

FOR YOU, PROBABLY
STEWED PINBALLS.

HUH?

HELLO, BABY.

HELLO, JOE.

AWW, THAT'S NICE.

HOW'D YOU GET
HERE SO EARLY?

I GOT A LIFT FROM ONE
OF THE GIRLS AT THE STORE.

I NEEDED IT, TOO.
HOW ARE YOU, IRISH?

HUNGRY.

HI, FELLAS.

HELLO, PAUL.

ANY LUCK TODAY?

YEAH, BUT ALL BAD.

ALL THE OLD MEN GET
THE WATCHMAN'S JOBS,

AND THAT'S ABOUT
THE ONLY THING

A ONE-ARMED GUY
CAN DO.

THERE ARE
A LOT OF JOBS

YOU CAN HANDLE.

HEY, PEARL,
DON'T FORGET...

MEDIUM-RARE
ON MY STEAK

AND NOT TOO MUCH
BUTTER

ON MY MASHED
POTATOES.

ANY SPECIAL DESIGN
YOU WANT ON THE PLATE?

COME ON. SIT DOWN.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
CALL ME TWICE.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS
RIDING THAT TRUCK,

I USED TO THINK

I'D NEVER GET ENOUGH
OF STAYING HOME.

I'VE GOT ENOUGH,
ALL RIGHT.

RELAX. YOU'LL FIND
SOMETHING TO DO.

SURE. I CAN ALWAYS
LEARN TO KNIT,

AND RIPLEY WILL PRINT
MY PICTURE.

HAVE SOME
STEAK, CASSIE,

AND PASS IT ON.

HOW'S THINGS GOING
AT THE STORE, CASSIE?

FINE, EXCEPT
I GET TIRED

FROM BEING
ON MY FEET ALL DAY.

I GOT
THE SAME TROUBLE.

THE ONLY
DIFFERENCE IS,

I DRIVE ALL DAY.
HA HA HA!

HOW'S ABOUT
SOME BEER, IRISH?

THAT'S ME, KID.

I'M THE BEST TWO-FISTED
BEER DRINKER IN AMERICA.

SOMETIMES
I GET SO THIRSTY,

I WISH I HAD 3 HANDS.

CUT IT.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
IRISH DIDN'T MEAN NO HARM.

HE'S RIGHT.

3 HANDS ARE BETTER THAN 2,
AIN'T THEY?

JUST LIKE 2 HANDS
ARE BETTER THAN ONE.

TAKE IT EASY, FELLOW.

EASY? HUH. YEAH,
THAT'S A NICE WORD.

MAYBE YOU THINK IT'S
EASY BEING HELPLESS,

WAITING FOR PEARL TO
DRESS ME AND FEED ME.

MAYBE YOU THINK
IT'S EASY

SITTING AROUND
THE HOUSE ALL DAY,

WONDERING WHAT A GUY
WITH NO RIGHT ARM

IS EVER GONNA
BE GOOD FOR.

WHY'D YOU EVER CUT ME
OUT OF THAT WRECK?

THIS WAY,

SHE DON'T EVEN GET
NO LIFE INSURANCE.

IT DON'T HELP
TO GET EXCITED.

YEAH, IT'S ALL VERY WELL
FOR YOU TO TALK.

YOU'RE ALL IN ONE PIECE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE
NOBODY'S CHARITY

LIKE I GOT TO TAKE YOURS.

I GUESS HE'S BEEN MOPING
AROUND THE HOUSE TOO MUCH.

AFTER WE EAT,

WE'LL GO OUT AND HAVE
SOME NIGHT LIFE.

MAYBE THAT'LL CHEER HIM
UP A LITTLE, HUH?

I AIN'T DANCED
IN A LONG TIME.

ME, NEITHER,
AND I USED TO LOVE IT.

IT'S THE MOST FUN
YOU CAN HAVE

WITHOUT LAUGHING.

TAKE A LOT
TO GET ME LAUGHING.

SAY, WHAT DO YOU SAY
WE GET MARRIED?

I'D LIKE THAT FINE,

BUT YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH
RESPONSIBILITIES RIGHT NOW

WITH THE HOSPITAL BILLS
AND PAUL STILL OUT OF WORK.

YEAH. WISH I COULD
FIND HIM SOMETHING.

WHY DON'T YOU
CHANGE YOUR MIND

AND ASK ED CARLSEN?

I'D LIKE TO,
BUT I CAN'T.

PAUL AIN'T ABLE TO
DO A HARD DAY'S WORK

AT THE GARAGE YET.

ED'S BEEN TOO SWELL
AS IT IS.

GUESS WE'VE GOT TO
JUST KEEP ON HOPING.

JOE, DO ME A FAVOR,
WILL YOU?

TAKE ME DANCING
AGAIN TOMORROW NIGHT

WHEN WE BOTH FEEL BETTER.

OK.

OH, I CAN'T.

I'VE GOT TO GO
TO THE BOSS' HOUSE

TO A PARTY.

OH.

DON'T SAY "OH"

LIKE YOU THINK I'M
WALKING OUT ON YOU.

I DON'T WANT TO GO.

I DIDN'T SAY YOU DID.

LET'S SIT DOWN.

IF WE STAY HERE,
WE'LL BE FIGHTING.

I'M SORRY, KID.

I GUESS I GOT
THE JITTERS TONIGHT.

WHERE'S IRISH?

HE'S WANDERING AROUND
ALL OVER THE PLACE.

YEAH. HE'S DOING
A LITTLE HUNTING.

LOOKS LIKE HE BAGGED
SOMETHING SPECIAL.

HELLO, FOLKS.
THIS IS, ER, UH, UH...

SAY, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

MISS SUE CARTER.

SUE CARTER.

ANY FRIEND OF HIS
IS A FRIEND OF MINE.

UH, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

WHAT'S
THE DIFFERENCE?

SIT DOWN
AND HAVE A DRINK.

IT'S DRINKING THAT
MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL.

OH. I HAVEN'T
BEEN DRINKING.

I KNOW, BUT I HAVE.

LEAVE IT TO IRISH
TO FIND ROMANCE.

DON'T SHE LOOK LIKE
A MILLION BUCKS?

AND JUST AS HARD TO GET.

WANT TO COME UP
FOR A WHILE?

I DON'T THINK SO.
NOT TONIGHT.

I'LL MAKE YOU
SOME COFFEE.

I DON'T WANT ANY.
IT KEEPS ME AWAKE.

STILL WORRIED
ABOUT PAUL?

YEAH.

ARE YOU TOO WORRIED
TO KISS ME?

NOT THAT BAD.

WHAT'S THE MATTER,
YOU STOP LOVING ME?

NO, DARLING, BUT I STILL
HAVE TO BREATHE.

CASSIE, YOU'RE THE ONLY
GIRL IN THIS WORLD

I'VE EVER BEEN
CRAZY ABOUT.

JOE, YOU'RE THE ONLY
FELLOW IN THE WORLD

WHO COULD MAKE ME BELIEVE
A LIE LIKE THAT.

COME ON. COME UP
AND HAVE SOME COFFEE.

NO, NO COFFEE.

YES, SIR!

THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS
TELL MY DRIVERS.

NO PHONE POLE
EVER HIT A TRUCK

UNLESS IT WAS
IN SELF-DEFENSE.

I THINK THE GUY
THAT WIRED THIS

MUST HAVE BALED HAY.

THERE IT GOES.

OH! OHH...

NOW GET A LOAD...
WAIT A MINUTE NOW.

ED!

WE HAVE SERVANTS
TO OPEN THE WINE.

OH, WHAT'S THE FUN
OF HAVING CHAMPAGNE

IF YOU CAN'T POP
THE CORK YOURSELF?

HERE NOW, IRISH,
THAT AIN'T BEER,

SO DON'T START
GUZZLING IT.

AND YOU AND YOUR
TRUCKDRIVER FRIENDS

STOP DRINKING SO MUCH.

THIS IS THE ONLY
EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY

WE'RE EVER GONNA HAVE.

COME ON. WE'VE GOT
TO CELEBRATE.

GOOD EVENING,
MRS. CARLSEN.

YOU'RE LATE.

I GOT STUCK
AT THE OFFICE.

I'M SORRY.

I FORGOT TO TELL YOU
WE WERE DRESSING.

THAT WOULDN'T HAVE
DONE ANY GOOD.

I'M NOT UP
IN THAT BRACKET YET.

HELLO, JOE!
HELLO, ED.

WILL YOU HAVE A GLASS
OF CHAMPAGNE?

NO, THANKS.

YOU KNOW JOE NEVER
TAKES A DRINK.

I KNOW. HE'S LIKE ME.
I DON'T EITHER,

UNLESS I'VE GOT
A GLASS IN EACH HAND.

DON'T HAVE ANY BAD HABITS,
DO YOU, JOE?

NONE THAT I CAN'T
HANDLE, MRS. CARLSEN.

JOE, HOW DO YOU
LIKE THE DUMP?

I THINK IT'S SWELL.

YOU WANT TO KNOW
SOMETHING?

LANA DECORATED IT

ALL BY HER
ITTY-BITTY SELF...

EARLY AMERICAN
BARGAIN-BASEMENT.

HA HA HA!

YOU AIN'T SAW IT.

WELL, YOU AIN'T
SEEN IT, TOO, IRISH.

COME ON.

JUST A MINUTE, ED.

DON'T YOU THINK JOE OUGHT
TO MEET THE OTHER GUESTS?

WHAT'S THE USE?

HE'LL ONLY FORGET
THEIR NAMES.

CULPEPER,
I SURE THIRSTY.

YES, SIR.

CHARLES, BRING MR. CARLSEN
SOME WATER, WILL YOU?

YES, MA'AM.

I SAID THIRSTY,
DIDN'T I? NOT DIRTY.

LOOK, IF YOU
FALL ON YOUR FACE,

DON'T EXPECT ME
TO DRAG YOU TO BED.

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT ME.

IF I FALL, I'LL
FALL UPSTAIRS.

COME ON, JOE.

HA HA HA!

SEE, JOE, WE HAD ALL
THE SCREENS REMOVED

BECAUSE THEY WERE FIXED

SO THE FLIES CAN'T
GET OUT AT ALL.

HEY, THIS LEAVES ME
SPEECHLESS.

GOOD. STAY THAT WAY.

WELL, THERE YOU ARE...

SWIMMING PUDDLE
AND EVERYTHING,

HOT AND COLD
RUNNING WATER...

GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO
LEARN HOW TO SWIM.

RIGHT THIS WAY,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

SURE GOT A NICE
LAYOUT HERE.

SOMEDAY YOU'LL HAVE ONE
JUST LIKE IT YOURSELF

AND A SWELL LITTLE WIFE
LIKE LANA TO GO WITH IT.

YEAH, THAT
WOULD BE NICE.

YES, SIR.

AND HERE WE HAVE
A BADMINTON COURT.

OH, GREAT GAME,
BADMINTON.

COUPLE OF GUYS

CHASE A FEATHER
WITH FLY SWATTERS,

AND THE ONE
THAT DON'T DROP DEAD

WINS THE GAME!

COME HERE.
HEE HEE HEE!

AND, JOE, THERE'S
SOMETHING ELSE

I SURE WANT YOU
TO GET A GANDER AT.

YOU KNOW, AROUND
A PLACE LIKE THIS,

THERE'S ALWAYS
A LOT OF CONFUSION

ABOUT BUSHES AND TREES.

AVOCADOS...
MALE AND FEMALE.

HOW CAN YOU TELL?

OH, THAT'S EASY.

THE BASHFUL ONE'S
THE GIRL.

AND NOW FOR THE TOPPER.

YOU KNOW WHEN YOU DRIVE UP,
AND YOU'RE TIRED,

AND YOU'VE GOT TO GET
OUT OF YOUR CAR

AND GO AND OPEN THE DOORS?

THAT AIN'T FOR ME.
GET A LOAD OF THIS.

SAY,
I'M SPEECHLESS!

THAT'S WHERE
WE CAME IN.

NOW, YOU SEE,
ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO

IS DRIVE OR WALK
BETWEEN THE POSTS,

BREAK THE RAY,

AND THE DOORS
START SWINGING.

WANT TO SEE ME
CLOSE THEM?

MM-HMM.

HA HA HA!

SAY, WHAT WILL THEY
THINK OF INVENTING NEXT?

I UNDERSTAND
SOME GUY'S

WORKING ON
A SUNDIAL.

IRISH, DON'T TALK SILLY.

WHO'D WANT TO DIAL
THE SUN?

HA HA HA!

GOOD NIGHT, ED.

HUH?

I HAD A SWELL TIME.

YOU'RE GOING
SO SOON?

YEAH. I'VE GOT
TO BE AT THE OFFICE

AT 6:30 IN THE MORNING.
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY.

GOOD NIGHT, IRISH.
SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

I CERTAINLY AM.

JOE, YOU'RE NOT GOING.

YES. REMEMBER
I TOLD YOU

I HAD TO LEAVE
EARLY?

I'LL WALK OUT WITH YOU.
I NEED SOME AIR.

IT'S GETTING
CHILLY OUT HERE.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'D
BETTER GO BACK IN?

NO. IT FEELS GOOD.

I HAD A NICE TIME,
MRS. CARLSEN.

DO YOU HAVE TO CALL
ME MRS. CARLSEN?

YOU KNOW,
I HAVE A FIRST NAME.

WHEN I CALL YOU
MRS. CARLSEN,

THAT KEEPS ME
IN MY PLACE.

WOULDN'T BE TRYING
TO GET OVER

IT ALSO KEEPS ME IN
MY PLACE, WOULD YOU?

THAT AIN'T
WHAT I SAID.

I'M GOOD AT READING
BETWEEN THE LINES.

WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S WRONG?

NOTHING WRONG
THAT I KNOW OF.

THEN WHY DO YOU KEEP
ACTING LIKE THIS?

WHY DO YOU KEEP
PRETENDING

YOU DON'T
EVEN NOTICE ME?

NOW, LOOK, WHO DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE FOOLING?

I'M NOT FOOLING ANYBODY,

AND THAT INCLUDES
YOU AND ME BOTH.

LISTEN, JOE, PLEASE.

IF I TOLD YOU ONCE,
I TOLD YOU 50 TIMES,

I'M DOING GOOD
AT THE OFFICE,

AND I'M NOT PLAYING AROUND
WITH THE BOSS' WIFE.

ED'S BEEN ALWAYS
ALL RIGHT WITH ME,

AND I'M NEVER GONNA
BE WRONG WITH HIM.

HOW TOUCHING...

THE FAITHFUL
EMPLOYEE...

THE DEVOTED FRIEND.

THAT'S ME.

GOOD NIGHT,
MRS. CARLSEN.

MRS. CARLSEN!

MRS.!

MRS.

LISTEN.
LISTEN NOW. LISTEN.

I'M GONNA DRINK YOU ALL
A LITTLE TOAST.

SHH!

JUST A LITTLE TOAST.

T-TOAST.

EARLY TO RISE
AND EARLY TO BED

MAKES A MAN HEALTHY,
BUT SOCIALLY DEAD.

NOW WE'LL TAKE YOU ALL
TO THE TANGO CLUB.

TANGO CLUB!

OH, SUGAR, LISTEN,
WILL YOU RUSH OUT

AND LEAP INTO THAT ERMINE
GUNNYSACK OF YOURS?

WE'RE GONNA SNEAK UP
ON A RUMBA.

WHAT'S THE MATTER,
NOT ENOUGH LIQUOR HERE?

MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO PUT
A STILL IN THE BASEMENT.

NEVER AT A LOSS
FOR A COMEBACK.

WE'RE MARRIED
8 YEARS,

AND SHE STILL
TICKLES ME PINK.

♪ LA DA DA DA ♪

SHH. STOP IT.

YOU DON'T WANT
TO DANCE, HUH?

SHE DON'T CARE TO DANCE.
I ALWAYS GET A PARTNER.

OH!

WELL, THEN YOU'LL DO.

♪ DA DA DA DA
DA DA DA ♪

♪ LA DA DA DA DA ♪

ED, PAY THE CHECK!

NO. THAT'S ONE THING
I'M NOT GONNA DO.

THE LIQUOR IN HERE
IS NO GOOD.

YOU CAN'T
GET DRUNK ON IT.

THEN SOMEONE MUST HAVE

HIT YOU OVER THE HEAD
WITH A MALLET.

KEEP THE CHANGE.

THANK YOU, MADAM.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME
GET HIM OUT OF HERE?

I'LL DRIVE HIM HOME
ONCE I GET HIM IN THE CAR.

YOU'RE LUCKY
I STAYED SOBER.

IT CERTAINLY
DOES.

COME ON. COME ON.

I DON'T WANT TO DANCE NOW.
I DON'T WANT TO DANCE.

VERY WELL.

COME ON. THE AIR
WILL DO YOU GOOD.

OH, I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?

WHO'S... WHAT'S
GOING ON HERE?

IT'S A SHAME,

A FINE FELLOW
LIKE THE BOSS

DISGRACING HIMSELF
IN PUBLIC.

YEAH.

AAH! OH!

COME ON!

SIT UP,
YOU DRUNKEN PIG!

JUST SNUGGLE IN YOUR ARMS
AND TAKE A LITTLE SNOOZE.

COME ON, GET
UP AND WALK!

OR DO I HAVE
TO CARRY YOU?

NEEDLESS TO SAY,
MRS. CARLSEN,

I REGRET HAVING TO GO
THROUGH THIS FORMALITY.

HE WAS SO DRUNK.

I ALWAYS TOLD HIM

SOMETHING AWFUL
WOULD HAPPEN

IF HE KEPT DRINKING
THAT WAY.

NATURALLY, I COULDN'T
LIFT SUCH A HEAVY MAN

OUT OF THE CAR.

HE'D STAYED
IN THE GARAGE BEFORE,

BUT HE ALWAYS
CAME IN THE HOUSE

WHEN HE SOBERED UP.

THIS TIME, HE...

NOW, DON'T DISTRESS
YOURSELF, MRS. CARLSEN.

JUST TAKE YOUR TIME.

THIS TIME, HE MUST HAVE
AWAKENED STILL DRUNK

AND STARTED THE CAR.

OH, IT'S AWFUL.

HE WANTED SO MUCH
TO LIVE.

HE HAD EVERYTHING
TO LIVE FOR.

THANK YOU, MRS. CARLSEN.

I REGRET THAT I'VE BEEN
FORCED TO QUESTION YOU.

I WON'T BOTHER YOU
ANY FURTHER.

YOU'RE VERY KIND.

PLEASE ACCEPT MY
SINCEREST SYMPATHY.

THANK YOU.

CAUSE OF HIS DEATH
WAS ACCIDENTAL...

CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING.

CLOSE THE CASE.

STOP CREEPING
AROUND THE HOUSE!

I WASN'T CREEPING, MA'AM.
HONEST, I WASN'T.

I DON'T WANT YOU
SNOOPING AROUND.

I WASN'T DOING
NO SNOOPING.

I JUST COME IN

TO SEE IF YOU WANTED
SOME MORE COFFEE.

I'VE HAD 4 CUPS.

I DON'T WANT ANY
MORE, DO YOU HEAR?

WELL, DO YOU HEAR?!
YES'M.

NOW GET OUT
OF MY SIGHT

AND STOP
SNEAKING AROUND!

I DON'T WANT YOU
SPYING ON ME!

YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO BE HERE AT 10:00.

SORRY, BUT ONE
OF OUR DRIVERS

CRASHED INTO
A LOAD OF PIPE,

AND I HAD TO...

I DON'T CARE
ABOUT THAT.

THE DRIVER DON'T,
EITHER. HE'S DEAD.

OH, I'M SORRY, JOE.

BEING ALONE
IN THIS BIG HOUSE

GIVES ME
THE WILLIES.

WOULD YOU LIKE
A DRINK?

NO, THANKS.

THAT'S RIGHT.
I FORGOT.

SIT DOWN, JOE.

WHAT WAS THIS BUSINESS

YOU WANTED TO TALK
TO ME ABOUT?

LOOK, JOE,

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THE COMPANY.

I'VE TRIED
TO UNDERSTAND,

AND THE LAWYERS HAVE
EXPLAINED THINGS TO ME.

ONLY THE MORE THEY TALK,
THE LESS I KNOW.

I CAN'T RUN A TRUCKING
BUSINESS BY MYSELF.

I'VE GOT TO HAVE
SOMEONE TO HELP ME.

DOES THAT MEAN ME?

YES. ED HAD SUCH
CONFIDENCE IN YOU.

HE SAID YOU HAD
GREAT IDEAS,

AND I KNOW HE'D WANT YOU
TO BE MY PARTNER.

PARTNER?

YES, PARTNER. 50-50.

I'VE GOT THE PAPERS
ALL DRAWN UP,

AND ALL YOU
HAVE TO DO IS...

WHAT'S WRONG?

DON'T YOU WANT
TO OWN

HALF OF A BIG
TRUCKING BUSINESS?

WITH ANYONE ELSE,

I'D THINK IT WAS
A SWELL DEAL,

BUT YOU...
I DON'T KNOW.

WHY NOT, JOE?
IT'S GOOD FOR ME

BECAUSE IF I DON'T GET
SOMEONE TO HELP ME,

I'LL END UP LOSING
THE BUSINESS.

AND IT'S GOOD FOR YOU
BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER

GET A CHANCE
LIKE THIS AGAIN.

NO INTERFERENCE?

NONE. I PROMISE YOU,
JOE.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT TRUCKS.

HOW COULD I INTERFERE?

I WASN'T TALKING
ABOUT TRUCKS.

OH, YOU'VE GOT TO
HELP ME, JOE.

I HAVEN'T
ANYONE ELSE

IN THE WORLD
TO TURN TO.

WELL, WHAT'S IT
GONNA BE?

IF IT'S GONNA BE
LIKE YOU SAY,

YOU CAN COUNT ME IN.

OH, I'M
SO GLAD, JOE.

NEITHER OF US
WILL REGRET IT.

NOW, HOW ABOUT THAT
DRINK TO CELEBRATE...

JUST THIS ONCE?

OK. I'LL TAKE
A SHORT ONE.

IT'S GONNA
WORK OUT FINE, JOE.

I KNOW IT WILL,

AND IT'S WHAT ED
WOULD HAVE WANTED.

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

WELL...

HERE'S TO OUR
PARTNERSHIP.

MAY IT BE A LONG
AND HAPPY ONE.

IT COULD WORK OUT
PRETTY GOOD.

I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT WE'LL DO.

WE'LL FIGURE OUT NEW LINES,
BUY NEW TRUCKS.

WHY, WE'LL BE
GETTING BUSINESS

WE NEVER EVEN
THOUGHT ABOUT.

WE'LL GO A LONG WAY.

YES, WE WILL.

HEY, JOE, WHO SNEAKED
THOSE RIGS IN?

NEW REFRIGERATOR JOBS.

OPENS UP A LOT OF DAIRY
BUSINESS FOR US.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE
I'M GONNA GET

20 DRIVERS QUICK
TO WHEEL THEM.

YOU KNOW BILL McGOWAN?
IS HE A GOOD DRIVER?

I DON'T WANT TO SAY
ANYTHING BAD

ABOUT THE GUY,

BUT WHEN THE ROAD TURNS
THE SAME TIME HE DOES,

IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE.

YEAH, THAT'S
WHAT I THOUGHT.

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?

GOT TO CLEAN AND
ADJUST THE POINTS.

HOW LONG
WILL IT TAKE?

ABOUT
15 MINUTES.

HELLO, JOE.

OH!

HOW ARE YOU?

THESE THE NEW TRUCKS

YOU WERE
TELLING ME ABOUT?

YEAH. I SEE YOU GOT
A NEW BUGGY YOURSELF.

BLOWING
ALL THE PROFITS, HUH?

WELL, WE'RE MAKING A LOT
OF PROFITS TO BLOW.

WHY NOT?

SAY...

THAT'S
A SNAPPY OUTFIT.

YOU LIKE IT?

MM-HMM.

I DIDN'T THINK
YOU'D NOTICE.

IT ISN'T TOO SOON

FOR ME TO STOP
WEARING BLACK, IS IT?

NO. I DON'T
THINK SO.

THAT'S THE WAY I FELT.

WELL, TAKE
A GOOD LOOK, JOE.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA SEE ME

IN THE SAME OUTFIT
TWICE FOR MONTHS.

PARDON ME.

HELLO, CASSIE.

COME ON. I WANT YOU
TO MEET MRS. CARLSEN.

THIS IS MRS. CARLSEN.
THIS IS CASSIE HARTLEY.

I'M GLAD TO KNOW YOU.

UH, IF YOU'RE
TALKING BUSINESS,

I'LL WAIT OUTSIDE.

OH, NO. CASSIE AND I
WERE GOING OUT

AND GET
A QUICK DINNER.

WOULD YOU CARE
TO COME ALONG?

NO.

NO, THANK YOU.

JOE!

OH, WHAT'S
THE MATTER?

UH, GET
SOME WATER.

NEVER MIND. WE'LL
TAKE HER TO A DOCTOR.

TAKE ME HOME.

BUT DON'T YOU THINK
IT WOULD BE...

I SAID TAKE ME HOME!

HOP IN, CASSIE.

I'LL RUN IT IN
THE GARAGE FOR YOU.

NO, STOP! LET ME OUT!
STOP IT, DO YOU HEAR?

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

PLEASE LET ME OUT!
PLEASE LET ME OUT!

IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO?

WOULD YOU LIKE ME
TO COME IN?

LEAVE ME ALONE!

HIYA, BOSS.

HERE ARE THOSE FEDERAL
GAS PAPERS, JOE.

THEY LOOK
ALL RIGHT TO ME.

FINE, GEORGE. I'LL GO
OVER THEM RIGHT AWAY.

JOE, MRS. CARLSEN'S
BEEN AROUND HERE

WHILE YOU WERE
OUT TO DINNER.

I DON'T KNOW.
SHE MAY BE HERE YET.

OK.

HELLO, JOE.

OH, UH, HELLO.

WE MAY KNOCK OVER

THAT FEDERAL GAS
CONTRACT.

THAT'S SWELL.

HOW DO YOU FEEL
TONIGHT?

OH, MUCH BETTER.

OH, THAT'S GOOD.

SORRY ABOUT
YESTERDAY, JOE.

GUESS MY NERVES
JUST GAVE OUT.

YOU OUGHT TO GO AWAY
FOR A WHILE,

GET A CHANGE.

YOU'VE BEEN HANGING AROUND
THAT HOUSE TOO MUCH.

MAYBE I WILL.

YOUR FRIEND
MISS HARTLEY...

SHE'S VERY NICE.

KNOWN HER LONG?

QUITE A WHILE.

DID YOU HAVE A NICE TIME
AFTER YOU LEFT ME?

IT WAS ALL RIGHT.

YOU MUST APOLOGIZE
TO MISS HARTLEY FOR ME.

OH, SHE DIDN'T THINK
ANYTHING OF IT.

HOW ABOUT
SOME DINNER, JOE?

I'VE HAD MINE.

YOU COULD SIT WITH ME
AND HAVE A DRINK,

AND MAYBE
WE COULD DANCE.

I'D LIKE TO,

BUT I'VE GOT TO GET
SOME ESTIMATES OUT...

FIGURES ON THE NEW
TRUCKS.

I KNOW, I KNOW,

BUT YOU CAN DO ALL THAT
TOMORROW MORNING.

I'VE GOT A LOT OF OTHER
THINGS TO DO IN THE MORNING,

AND THIS IS
VERY IMPORTANT.

IT'S THE ONLY TIME
I HAVE TO DO IT.

I'M SORRY, JOE.

I GUESS I'M
A FINE PARTNER,

TRYING TO PULL YOU
AWAY FROM YOUR WORK.

THE FRANK CONNERS

ARE THROWING A PARTY
FRIDAY NIGHT.

THEY ASKED ME
TO BRING YOU ALONG.

SORRY. I CAN'T
MAKE IT.

CAN'T MAKE IT!
CAN'T MAKE IT!

THAT'S ALL
I EVER HEAR FROM YOU.

IT USED TO BE

BECAUSE MY HUSBAND
WAS YOUR FRIEND!

WELL, HE'S DEAD!

HE'S BEEN DEAD
FOR 6 MONTHS!

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH ME NOW?

WHY CAN'T YOU
MAKE IT?

I'M GETTING MARRIED
FRIDAY.

IS THAT
A GOOD ENOUGH REASON?

MARRIED?

TO THAT REDHEAD?

TO THAT REDHEAD.

WHAT MADE YOU THINK
YOU HAD TO MARRY HER?

I JUST THOUGHT
IT WAS A GOOD IDEA.

ANY OBJECTIONS?

YEAH, I GOT OBJECTIONS.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK

YOU CAN MAKE A SUCKER
OUT OF ME?

YOU BETTER RELAX.

DON'T TELL ME TO RELAX,
YOU ROAD SLOB!

IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME,

YOU'D STILL BE
KICKING TRUCKS

UP AND DOWN THE COAST!

I GET ED TO TAKE YOU
OFF THE ROAD.

I PUT THAT CLEAN COLLAR
AROUND YOUR DIRTY NECK.

I PUT THOSE CREASES
IN YOUR PANTS.

I'M THE ONE

THAT PUT THAT MONEY
IN YOUR POCKET.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK

YOU CAN WALK OUT
ON ME?

I CAME IN HERE
ON A BUSINESS DEAL,

AND I'VE DONE ALL RIGHT
FOR YOU AS WELL AS MYSELF.

DON'T TALK
LIKE A FOOL.

I WALKED YOU
RIGHT INTO A COMPANY

THAT WAS SET
AND ESTABLISHED.

I GAVE YOU
ED'S INSURANCE MONEY

TO BUY NEW TRUCKS.

I COULD HAVE PICKED
ANYONE OFF THE STREET

THAT COULD ADD
2 AND 2,

AND THEY'D HAVE DONE
JUST AS WELL.

ANYTIME YOU DON'T
LIKE THE SETUP,

I CAN ALWAYS
CHECK OUT!

YOU'RE NOT GETTING OUT.
YOU BELONG WITH ME,

AND YOU'RE GONNA
STAY WITH ME,

AND IF YOU DON'T
LIKE IT NOW,

YOU'LL LEARN TO LIKE IT.

ONLY YOU'RE NOT GOING OFF
MARRYING THAT CHEAP REDHEAD.

I'M MARRYING CASSIE,

AND I'M NOT
ASKING ANYBODY

WHAT THEY
THINK ABOUT IT.

THAT INCLUDES YOU.

SHE HASN'T
ANY RIGHT TO YOU.

YOU'RE MINE, AND I'M
HANGING ON TO YOU!

I COMMITTED MURDER
TO GET YOU.

UNDERSTAND? MURDER!

YOU WHAT?

SURE! I KILLED ED!

I KILLED HIM
TO GET YOU

BECAUSE
YOU WERE ALWAYS

THROWING HIM
IN MY FACE!

"YES, MRS. CARLSEN"!
"NO, MRS. CARLSEN"!

"NO, MRS. CARLSEN"!

"GOOD NIGHT,
MRS. CARLSEN"!

YOU MADE ME DO IT!
YOU, UNDERSTAND?

I DIDN'T WANT
TO KILL ANYONE,

BUT YOU MADE ME
MURDER ED...

YOUR FRIEND!

JOE!

JOE, WHERE ARE YOU
GOING?

I'M GETTING OUT
OF HERE,

AND STAY AWAY
FROM ME.

OH, JOE, DON'T GO.
FORGET WHAT I SAID.

I DIDN'T MEAN
WHAT I SAID.

I WAS JEALOUS.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

I DIDN'T KILL ED.
IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT!

SAVE THAT RECORD
FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

YOU MAY NEED IT!

OH, LISTEN, JOE!
I'LL BE A GOOD SPORT!

MARRY HER, AND I HOPE
YOU'RE HAPPY WITH HER,

ONLY PLEASE
DON'T LEAVE ME!

PLEASE COME BACK!

I DIDN'T WANT
TO KILL ANYONE.

I DIDN'T.

I DIDN'T WANT
TO KILL ANYONE.

HE MADE ME DO IT.

YES.

HE MADE ME KILL HIM.

HE MADE ME KILL HIM.

HE SAID HE'D KILL ME
IF I DIDN'T.

I DIDN'T WANT
TO DO IT,

BUT I WAS
AFRAID OF HIM.

I HAD TO. JOE WANTED
THE INSURANCE MONEY.

HE WANTED EVERYTHING
FOR HIMSELF.

HE MADE ME DO IT.

JUST A MOMENT.

HAVE JOE FABRINI OF THE
CARLSEN TRUCKING COMPANY

PICKED UP IMMEDIATELY,
AND YOU COME IN HERE.

IN OTHER WORDS,
MRS. CARLSEN,

WHEN YOU WERE
IN THIS OFFICE

THE MORNING AFTER
YOUR HUSBAND'S DEATH,

YOUR STATEMENT
WAS A COMPLETE LIE.

YES, BUT I DIDN'T
WANT TO LIE.

I WAS AFRAID
TO TELL THE TRUTH THEN.

NOW I'M NOT AFRAID
ANYMORE.

I SEE, AND
THE REAL TRUTH

IS THAT YOU WERE COERCED

INTO MURDERING YOUR
HUSBAND BY FABRINI.

YES, YES, THAT'S IT.

THAT'S IT.

HE MADE ME
KILL HIM.

SIT DOWN.

MRS. CARLSEN,

I'M GONNA DICTATE
FOR YOUR SIGNATURE

THE CONFESSION
YOU'VE JUST MADE TO ME.

CORRECT ME
IF I'M WRONG.

"I, LANA CARLSEN..."

SHE NEVER THOUGHT
I'D SEE HER.

I'LL BET
SHE WAS SURPRISED

WHEN THEY
TOLD HER I WOULD.

I'LL SEE HER,
ALL RIGHT.

I'VE GOT A FEW THINGS
TO TELL HER.

ALL RIGHT,
TELL HER, NOT ME.

JUST WAIT TILL
I SEE HER. JUST WAIT.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

THAT DOOR...

IT OPENED.

OF COURSE IT DID.
WE BROKE THE RAY.

IT'S AN ELECTRIC EYE
DOOR. COME ON.

NO. I WON'T
GO THROUGH IT.

I WON'T GO THROUGH IT,
I TELL YOU!

I WON'T, I TELL YOU!

STOP IT.

NO, I WON'T.
NO, PLEASE!

PLEASE
DON'T MAKE ME!

I THOUGHT
YOU'D SHOW UP.

NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE,
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT YOU
TO TELL THE TRUTH.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
THE TRUTH IS?

JOE HAD NOTHING
TO DO

WITH KILLING
YOUR HUSBAND,

AND WHAT'S MORE,

HE HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH YOU.

IS THAT SO? WHAT DO YOU
THINK HE WAS DOING

ALL THOSE NIGHTS

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
WORKING IN THE GARAGE?

DO YOU THINK HE WAS
IN THE GARAGE AT ALL?

WHY DO YOU THINK I TOOK HIM
INTO THE BUSINESS?

WHY DID I GIVE HIM

MY HUSBAND'S INSURANCE
MONEY TO PLAY WITH...

BECAUSE HE HAD
AN HONEST FACE?

YOU COULD TALK TO ME
FROM NOW ON,

BUT YOU'D NEVER
MAKE ME BELIEVE

THAT JOE EVER LAID A HAND
ON ANYONE LIKE YOU.

WHAT MAKES YOU
SO SURE OF THAT?

I LOVE HIM.

I KNOW.

YOU LOVE HIM.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT IS TO LOVE A MAN,

BUT I DO,

AND I'LL TAKE HIM WITH ME
WHEREVER I'M GOING.

YOU'RE WORSE

THAN I EVER THOUGHT
ANYONE COULD BE.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL THEM
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

THAT JOE WOULDN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU;

THAT YOU KILLED
YOUR HUSBAND YOURSELF

BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT
HE WAS IN THE WAY;

THAT YOU KEPT
THROWING YOURSELF AT JOE,

BUT HE WOULDN'T LOOK AT YOU

BECAUSE HE HAD YOU PEGGED
FROM THE BEGINNING.

TELL THEM YOU FOUND OUT
HE WAS GOING TO MARRY ME,

AND YOU DECIDED TO DO
ANYTHING TO STOP IT,

EVEN IF IT MEANT
DOUBLE-CROSSING YOURSELF!

YOU'VE GOT IT
ALL WORKED OUT,

HAVEN'T YOU?

BUT YOU'VE GOT IT
WORKED OUT WRONG...

ALL WRONG...

BECAUSE
I'M THE ONE WHO...

Lana: STOP THAT DOOR.

STOP IT, I TELL YOU.

STOP THAT DOOR!

STOP IT! STOP IT!

COME ON, COME ON.
YOUR TIME'S UP.

NO! I WON'T GO
THROUGH THAT DOOR!

I WON'T!
YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!

COME ON, COME ON.

I WON'T! NO, I WON'T!
I WON'T, I TELL YOU!

I WON'T! I WON'T! I WON'T!

WHAT'S THE DAME
HITTING HIGH C FOR?

MAYBE SHE DON'T LIKE
THE SERVICE HERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
THESE THINGS

ALWAYS GOT TO BUST
AT LUNCHTIME.

THIS ONE'S ALL RIGHT.
CLOSE HER UP.

SO, YOUR HONOR

AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
OF THE JURY,

THE PROSECUTION WILL PROVE
THAT JOE FABRINI,

BY MEANS OF DURESS
AND THREATS,

EMPLOYED THE WIFE
OF THE MURDERED MAN

AS RUTHLESSLY AS EVER A MAN
EMPLOYED A DAGGER OR A GUN

TO COMMIT FOR PROFIT

A COLD-BLOODED, BRUTAL,
PRECONCEIVED MURDER.

AND NOW, WITH YOUR HONOR'S
PERMISSION,

I WILL CALL
THE FIRST WITNESS...

MISS SUE CARTER.

IS IT TRUE,
MISS CARTER,

THAT YOU ATTENDED A PARTY
AT THE CARLSEN HOME

THE NIGHT
OF MR. CARLSEN'S DEATH?

YES, YOUR HONOR.

MISS CARTER, THE JUDGE
IS THE ONLY PERSON

IN THIS COURTROOM

TO BE ADDRESSED
AS "YOUR HONOR."

HOW DO YOU DO?

NOW, AT THIS PARTY,

DURING THE COURSE
OF THE EVENING,

DID YOU SEE MR. FABRINI
AND MRS. CARLSEN

IN PRIVATE CONVERSATION?

UH...

YES, YOUR HONOR.

MISS CARTER, I AM
ASKING THE QUESTIONS.

NOW, UH, WHERE DID THIS
CONVERSATION TAKE PLACE?

WELL, I JUST HAPPENED TO
BE IN THE POWDER ROOM...

POWDERING MY NOSE,
OF COURSE...

AND I HAPPENED TO LOOK
OUT THE WINDOW,

AND I SAW MR. FABRINI
AND MRS. CARLSEN

STANDING BY THE SIDE
OF HIS CAR ARGUING.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT
THEY WERE SAYING?

WELL, I DIDN'T
EXACTLY HEAR.

YOU UNDERSTAND,
I DIDN'T TRY,

BUT IT SEEMED TO ME
THAT ONE OF THEM

WANTED THE OTHER ONE
TO DO SOMETHING,

BUT I COULDN'T TELL

WHO WANTED WHO TO DO
WHAT TO WHICH.

MR. FABRINI,
WHEN YOUR BROTHER

BECAME HEAD OF THE CARLSEN
TRUCKING SERVICE,

DID YOU GET A JOB

AS TRAFFIC MANAGER
WITH THE COMPANY?

YEAH, BUT...

Man: OBJECTION!

THE QUESTION IS
A LEADING ONE.

OBJECTION SUSTAINED.

THAT'S ALL.

NOW, MISS HARTLEY,

YOU SAY THAT YOU
AND MR. FABRINI

HAVE BEEN IN LOVE
FOR SOME TIME...

PLAN TO BE
MARRIED.

THAT'S RIGHT.

CAN YOU TELL WHY YOU DIDN'T
GET MARRIED SOME TIME AGO?

WE COULDN'T
AFFORD IT.

DID MR. FABRINI WORK
EVENINGS QUITE A BIT?

YES.

COULD YOU SWEAR
THAT MR. FABRINI

WAS ACTUALLY IN HIS OFFICE
WORKING ON THOSE EVENINGS?

NO, BUT I...

ISN'T IT JUST POSSIBLE

THAT MR. FABRINI
DIDN'T MARRY YOU

BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE
FOUND SUCH A MARRIAGE

INCONVENIENT IN HIS
RELATIONS WITH MRS. CARLSEN?

OBJECTION!

OBJECTION SUSTAINED.

THE WITNESS WILL NOT HAVE
TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

ISN'T IT TRUE
THAT MR. FABRINI

CAREFULLY KEPT
YOU 2 LADIES APART

UNTIL ONE EVENING IN
THE COMPANY GARAGE,

WHEN HE GOT
HIS DATES CROSSED,

HE SUDDENLY FOUND YOU
BOTH FACE-TO-FACE?

WELL, JOE NEVER DID...

Man: I OBJECT,
YOUR HONOR!

OBJECTION OVERRULED.

ISN'T IT TRUE

THAT MRS. CARLSEN
WAS SO UNNERVED

AT FINDING OUT ABOUT YOU
THAT SHE FAINTED?

SHE WAS ILL.

CERTAINLY SHE WAS
ILL... ILL OF SHOCK,

SHOCK AT FINDING
THE MAN SHE LOVED

AND FOR WHOM
AND AT WHOSE BEHEST

SHE MURDERED HER OWN HUSBAND,
IN THE ARMS OF ANOTHER WOMAN!

NO, NO.
THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

JOE DIDN'T HELP
IN ANY MURDER.

HE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH IT.

IF HE'D
EVEN THOUGHT THAT...

THAT'S ALL.

DID YOU SAY ANYTHING
TO MR. FABRINI

ABOUT MRS. CARLSEN?

I DON'T REMEMBER.

DID YOU EVER NOTICE

THAT AFTER MR. FABRINI
CAME TO WORK AT CARLSEN'S,

THAT MRS. CARLSEN FREQUENTED
THE COMPANY GARAGE

MORE THAN SHE HAD
PREVIOUSLY?

I DON'T REMEMBER.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER
ANYTHING?

WHY DON'T YOU REMEMBER?

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE
I GOT A BAD MEMORY.

HA HA HA!

NOW, YOUR HONOR

AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
OF THE JURY,

I CALL TO THE STAND
MRS. LANA CARLSEN.

STAND UP, PLEASE.

DO YOU SWEAR TO TELL
THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH,

AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH,
SO HELP YOU GOD?

I DO.

TAKE THE CHAIR.

STATE YOUR NAME.

LANA CARLSEN.

YOU WILL SPEAK UP,
PLEASE.

YOU WERE, AT THE TIME
OF HIS DEATH,

THE LEGAL WIFE
OF EDWARD CARLSEN?

YES.

HOW LONG BEFORE THE DEATH
OF EDWARD CARLSEN

WERE YOU ACQUAINTED
WITH JOE FABRINI?

2 YEARS.

WHERE DID YOU
FIRST MEET HIM?

MRS. CARLSEN,

I ASKED YOU WHERE
YOU FIRST MET FABRINI.

YOU WILL ANSWER
THE QUESTION, PLEASE.

HE WAS LAUGHING.

YES, HE...

HE WAS LAUGHING.

KISSED ME
WHEN HE WAS DRUNK.

YES, HE KISSED ME
WHEN HE WAS DRUNK...

SO I GOT A NEW CAR.

YES, I... I GOT
A NEW CAR...

AND I BOUGHT
SOME NEW CLOTHES.

YES, THEY WERE...

PRETTY.

AND HE... HE USED TO
TELL TERRIBLE JOKES,

AND HE'D LAUGH
AT THEM.

HE WAS
ALWAYS LAUGHING.

AND THEN I SAW HIM
LYING THERE...

DRUNK.

I HEARD THE MOTOR
RUNNING...

AND I SAW THE DOORS.

I HEARD THE MOTOR.

I SAW THE DOORS.

THE DOORS
MADE ME DO IT.

YES.

THE DOORS
MADE ME DO IT.

THE DOORS MADE ME
DO IT. HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA! THE DOORS
MADE ME DO IT!

MATRON. MATRON!
REMOVE THE WITNESS.

THEY MADE ME DO IT!

THEY MADE ME DO IT!
HA HA HA!

THE DOORS!
THEY MADE ME DO IT!

HA HA HA! THE DOORS!

THE DOORS
MADE ME DO IT!

YOUR HONOR! YOUR HONOR,

I MOVE THAT THIS CASE
BE DISMISSED

ON THE GROUND THAT
THE SOLE VALID WITNESS

TO THE ALLEGED CRIME
IS OBVIOUSLY INSANE.

COURT IS ADJOURNED

WHILE THE STATE'S PHYSICIANS
EXAMINE MRS. CARLSEN.

EVERYBODY RISE.

CITY DESK
AND HURRY!

GIVE ME THE DESK!

HELLO, ED.
WELL, HERE IT IS.

THE DOCTORS ALL SAY
SHE'S DAFFY.

YEAH, COMPLETELY NUTS.

THEY HAD TO TAKE HER AWAY
IN A STRAITJACKET.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

CASE THROWN OUT
OF COURT.

FABRINI GOES FREE.

SOUNDS FUNNY, I SUPPOSE,

BUT I CAN'T HELP FEELING
SORRY FOR THAT DAME.

ME, TOO, IN A WAY.

WHAT ABOUT
THE BUSINESS, JOE?

WHAT ABOUT IT? IT'S
LIKE I TOLD YOU.

I'M GIVING MY SHARE
TO THE BOYS.

AFTER WHAT'S
HAPPENED,

I NEED A CHANGE
OF SCENERY.

WHAT ABOUT US?

WE'RE GETTING MARRIED
JUST LIKE WE FIGURED.

I'LL DIG UP A NEW TRUCK
AND HIT THE ROAD AGAIN.

WHY, I'LL BE
ON TOP IN NO TIME.

I CAN'T MISS WITH...

SAY, YOU'RE NOT
GONNA TELL ME

I'M NOT RIGHT,
ARE YOU?

NO, JOE. OF COURSE,

I HATE TO SEE YOU GO
BACK TO THE ROAD,

BUT IF THAT'S THE WAY
YOU REALLY WANT IT,

I'M WITH YOU
AROUND EVERY CURVE.

WELL, MY MIND'S
MADE UP.

GEE, I PROMISED
TO PHONE THE STORE.

DO YOU MIND STOPPING
WHILE I CALL?

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL ONLY BE A MINUTE.

HELLO, IRISH.
THIS IS CASSIE.

HELLO, CASSIE.
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

JOE'S ON HIS WAY OVER
TO TELL YOU BOYS

HE'S GIVING UP
THE BUSINESS.

HAVE THE GUYS
SHOUT HIM DOWN,

AND I'LL DO THE REST.

OK, KID.
LEAVE IT TO ME.

MY MIND'S
MADE UP, TOO.

Joe: SO IT'S LIKE
I TELL YOU, FELLAS.

I DON'T FEEL
I GOT THE RIGHT

TO STAY ON HERE,

SO I'M GIVING
YOU GUYS MY SHARE,

AND I'M BOWING OUT.

SLOW DOWN,
WILL YOU, FELLAS?

NO. IT LOOKS LIKE

YOU'RE ON A DEAD-END
STREET, JOE.

THAT'S RIGHT, JOE.

THESE BOYS WANT NO PART
OF AN EXECUTIVE BUSINESS.

PAUL HERE...

HE CAN HANDLE THINGS
AS GOOD AS ANYBODY.

OH, NO, NOT ME.

I GOT TOO MANY
OTHER PROBLEMS.

WE'RE GONNA
HAVE A BABY.

CONGRATULATIONS.
SAY, DOES PEARL KNOW?

HEY, THAT'S
GOOD NEWS, PAUL.

WELL, YOU CAN GIVE US
SOME GOOD NEWS, JOE,

AND SAY YOU'RE STAYING ON
AS THE HEAD GUY.

FELLAS, I'M... I'M
SURE GLAD

YOU FEEL THIS WAY,
BUT I...

WELL, I...

WHAT DO YOU THINK,
CASSIE?

YOUR MIND'S
MADE UP, JOE.

BUT THERE'S A LOT
OF ANGLES HERE.

SOMEBODY'S GOT TO TAKE CARE
OF THOSE NEW ACCOUNTS,

AND I MAY GET THAT FEDERAL
GAS CONTRACT, AND...

I WOULDN'T TRY
TO INFLUENCE YOU

ANY MORE THAN I WOULD
THE BOYS, JOE,

BUT THE WAY
YOU'RE TALKING...

MAYBE YOU'D BETTER STAY.

OK, FELLAS,
I'M STICKING WITH YOU.
