* No use lookin'
for a cheap joint, honey

* Wastin' my time and money

* Those days are through

* Since I found you

* Just a little love
in the morning light

* Now I got the feeling
that just one night won't do

* Since I found you

* Since I found you, honey,
I found love

* You're the only one
that I'm dreamin' of

* I don't miss doin'
what I used to do

* I don't miss nothin'
since I found you

* No more walkin' down
lonely street

* Wearin' holes
in both of my feet

* And feelin' blue

* Since I found you

* Don't really matter
what the boys are doin'

* All I really care about
is you and me stayin' true

* Since I found you

* Since I found you, honey,
I found love

* You're the only one
that I'm dreamin' of

* I don't miss doin'
what I used to do

* I don't miss nothin'
since I found you

* I don't miss nothin'
since I found you *

Yeah?

Mr. Escobar?

Hi, uh, it's me,

Nadine Hightower.

I really hate
to bother you.

I just want to
ask a favor of you.

Listen, if it's money,
I can't help you.

Uh, no, sir, no, sir.

It's not.

Could I come in and talk
to you for just a minute?

Honey, I'd love to, but I got an
important client on his way over.

Oh, this'll only take
a minute.

It's about those photos
that you took of me.

Art studies.
Those were art studies.

Yes, sir.

But to tell you the truth,

they were lots more artistic
than I bargained for.

And the thing is,

I'd like to have
those photos back.

Did you get paid?

Yes, sir. $22.

Did I touch you?
Did I lay a hand on you?

Well, no, sir.

Then you got no gripe
with me, young lady.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I gotta go.

Mr. Escobar!

Now, that day
at the Five and Dime,

when you come up to me
and told me

you was a close personal
friend of Hugh Hefner,

and then you asked me
to take those photos,

I mean, those art studies.

To tell you the truth,
the only reason I said yes

was because you told me that Playboy
was bound to pay me lots of money.

Now I'll pay you back
however much you're out.

I'll give your wife free manicures
for the rest of her life.

How about that?
I'll do anything.

I mean, almost anything.

Will you quit that?

I'm not leavin' until I get those
photos back, and that's that!

Okay, come on in, then!
Come on, damn it!

Lucky for you, I'm about
to become a very rich man.

Damn.

You wait in the back.
Don't come out till I holler.

Okay?
In the back?

Yeah. All right, I'm comin'!

I'm comin'!

Lady, I got...

Oh, my God.

Mr. Escobar.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Mr. Escobar?

It's Charley Draper,
Photo Supply House.

I got that carton of
developer you asked for.

I'm real sorry about this.

Mr. Escobar?

Oh, hey,
are you the janitor?

Yeah.
What's the problem?

I got this package for Mr. Escobar,
and I can't get nobody to answer.

Hang on. I got the key.
You can leave it inside.

Hey, hey!
Call the police!

There's been
a murder up here!

What's goin' on?

Hey! Somebody
call the police!

There's been
a murder up here!

Right up there?

Hey! He's upstairs!

And now,
Search for Tomorrow.

I think Roger's gonna
have an affair with Vanessa.

Are you crazy?

Vanessa's got
the hots for Brad.

You're late, Nadine.

You got about umpteen
calls from Vernon.

Well?

"Well" what?

Are you gonna tell Vernon
you're pregnant?

Vera,
I don't want to talk about this right now.

He is the daddy.

That just happens to be a
biological accident, that's all.

Hon, that man
is your husband.

Ex-husband.

That's just as much
your fault as it is his.

Vernon loves you.

Vernon don't love
nothin' but himself

and that damn
Blue Bonnet bar of his.

That man is flat-out
irresponsible,

and I do not intend on
lettin' Doris Isabelle...

Doris Isabelle?

I'm namin' her after
Mama's favorite sisters.

What do you think?

Nadine, I love you like you
was my own flesh and blood.

But I do not intend to stand around and
see that baby get born without a daddy.

Then you sure better rustle
up somebody real fast

on account it ain't gonna
be Vernon Hightower.

Oh, you won't forget
about the garbage?

Of course not.

Are you sure
you don't mind closin' up?

Get outta here
and have a good time.

Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

The top story on the 6:00 news
tonight involves the brutal slaying

of an Austin photographer,
Raymond Escobar.

Mr. Escobar was stabbed
to death in his studio

on East 6th Street
this afternoon.

The studio seems to have served
as a love nest for Mr. Escobar

and the woman
who killed him.

Our reporter talked to deputy sheriff,
Leon Rusk,

at the scene
of the crime.

What makes you suspect
the killer is a woman?

Well, we have
several leads

that point to the fact that the
killer's undoubtedly a woman.

For one thing,
we found traces of lipstick and cheap perfume

on the collar
of the deceased.

We now take you
back to the studio.

I knew sooner or later you
was gonna come out of there.

What do you want, Vernon?

Now, did you,
or did you not sign them divorce papers? Hmm?

You gotta be kiddin' me?

'Cause if you didn't, I swear,
I'm gonna strangle you on the spot.

Don't provoke me, Vernon.
I got enough on my mind...

Damn it, woman,
I'm tryin' to get the Blue Bonnet refinanced.

If you ask me,
the Blue Bonnet's nothin'...

I didn't ask you.
Fine!

Now, there is no way they're ever
gonna let me have that money

unless you sign that paper
saying you agree to the divorce

and promise to make
no claim on the Bonnet.

Do you see the keys

to a brand new Buick convertible
with white sidewall tires,

radio and air conditioner?

'Cause when you see the keys
to that car in my hand,

you'll see my name on those
divorce papers and not until.

Now, you got that, slick?

Come here.

Don't mess with me...
You just come here for a minute.

I'm warnin' ya!

You know I'm mighty
stronger than you are!

You see that Chevy? Hmm?

You see that busted headlight?
You see that bailin' wire?

Now, you think I'd be drivin'
around in a wreck like that

if I could afford
a brand new Buick?

And who might that be?

That happens
to be Renee Lomax.

She's the Uvalde High
School Pecan Queen of 1947.

Vernon, darlin'?

Uh-oh, whoa, whoa.

I'm not in the "Vernon darlin'"
business anymore.

Remember?

Vernon, darlin',
what if I was to sign those papers of yours?

I told you before,
I'm not payin' for any brand new Buick.

What if I was to forget
about the Buick altogether?

All right,
what's the deal?

I'd just like you to run a little
errand with me, that's all.

What kind of
little errand?

Well, a couple of weeks ago,
Vera asked me to pick up this stuff

that she keeps in a
storeroom on 6th Street

and I just keep forgettin'
and if it ain't there by tomorrow mornin',

she's gonna
have a real shit fit.

And,

well,
you know what a 'fraidy cat I am of the dark.

Nadine, it's me, Vernon.
Remember?

Your almost ex-husband?

Now I know how you are, especially when
you get your mind set on somethin'.

I know you're not gonna
give up on that Buick

out of the goodness
of your heart.

Vernon, be honest with me.

Are you ever really and truly
gonna give me that Buick?

Hell, no!

Then what am I losin'?

Sug, I'm pretty sure that I got
her convinced to sign that paper.

The thing is, though...
Mmm.

Uh, sug...

Oh.

The problem is that she's got
some kind of deal goin' here.

I'm gonna have to help
her straighten it out.

So, uh, I want you
to take the pickup,

go on back over to your place and
I'll call you later, all right?

Vernon, just think. As soon as she
signs those papers, we can get married.

Yeah. Mmm.

Honey, go on now.

Vernon's gotta go.

Nightie-night.

Hey!
Goddamn it, woman.

Are you tryin'
to get me killed?

When was the last time you
cleaned the sparks in this thing?

You know me, Vernon.

Live and let live.

They don't bother me.
I don't bother them.

Hey, slow down.

Huh?

Slow down.

What?

Look at that.

What's that son of a bitch
doin' in there?

Givin' away free beer?

How's the old Blue Bonnet gettin'
along anyway?

Fine. It's doin' just fine.

I heard you was
about to go bust.

Well, you heard wrong.

The Blue Bonnet's just
about to turn the corner.

It's just gonna take a little
longer than I expected, that's all.

You mean, that jukebox
you bought with my money

just ain't doin' the
trick for you, is it?

I told you before,
that was a loan.

I'll pay you back.

I've got big plans
for the Blue Bonnet.

By the time I'm through,
it's gonna be the showplace of Austin.

The first thing I'm gonna
do is get me a new sign.

Mmm-hmm.

Then I'm gonna get
the dance floor fixed up.

I'm goin' to
get me a name band.

I'm not talkin' about one of these
low rent bands. I'm talkin' big time.

The Blue Bonnet Lounge ain't
never gonna be anything.

First of all,
it's in the worst location in all of Austin.

I must have told you I don't
know how many times...

I know what you told me!
But you was wrong.

Then I must
have told you...

You was wrong!
I don't want to talk about it anymore.

But, I...
Period!

Fine.

We'll talk about
something else.

Fine.

Okay.

Ain't she a little on
the cheap side for you?

Who?

Miss Low Rent Lust back there.

Renee? Are you kiddin'?

She's got a good job with
the Lone Star Beer Company.

She don't look
that smart to me.

Well, she's smart enough to
work in Accounts Receivable.

I don't know, Vernon.

She looks a little on the
chubby side to be Pecan Queen.

Well, at least she doesn't spend
all her time findin' fault with me.

Here we are.

Why are we
goin' in the back door?

It's a lot quicker
this way.

I can't believe this.

I left the keys
at the beauty shop.

I guess we're just gonna
have to go back and get 'em.

What? We came
all the way out here

and you don't even
have the keys with you?

If you hadn't been so obnoxious,
I might've remembered.

Now, come on, let's go.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I'm not ruinin' mine and Renee's evenin'

because you ain't
completely put together.

Now, did you bring
a nail file?

Vernon, I don't have the time to
stand here and play games with you.

It's gonna take half
the night as it is.

Now, come on, let's go.

You forgot the night
we was in Tulsa,

we had locked ourselves
out of the motel room.

Remember, I did that
little trick with the lock?

Ooh, Vernon,
aren't you the smart one?

There's no need to do that.

You know, Nadine, I'm way
ahead of you on this deal.

You always have been,
Vernon.

There ain't no beauty supplies in here,
is there?

Not exactly.

And this place don't
belong to Vera, does it?

Uh-uh.

You know what kind of trouble
that we can get in...

Shh!

You wanna wake up everybody
between here and El Paso?

Do you have the least idea
what could happen to us

if the owner walked in
and found us like this? Hmm?

I'm talkin'
breakin' and enterin'.

I'm talking three
to seven in Huntsville.

Not to mention me losin'
my liquor license.

Don't worry. That ain't
gonna happen. I swear.

You want to explain
why you're so sure?

Well, if you have to know,

he's dead.

Dead?

You mean, dead dead?

Hey!

Hold on.

I don't know what's goin' on here,
but I'm not gettin' mixed up.

Nadine, we're gettin'
out of here right now and that's an order.

You comin'?

Well, I'll visit you
in the jailhouse.

Adios.

You know what'd go down
real good right now?

A nice cold
bottle of beer.

You plannin' on us drivin' up
to a 7-Eleven in a police car

and askin'
the cashier for a six-pack?

It just so happens I hid
a couple of Lone Stars

up there in that
stiff's icebox.

You hold down the fort.

I'll be right back.

Hell, Cecil,
you're not as dumb as the Captain said.

Nadine? I mean it now.
This is your last chance.

Forgive me.

That woman is
dumb as a post.

I swear,
if she thinks I'm goin' to prison

on account of some
dimwit idea of hers,

she's got
another thing comin'.

...being around, get her out of trouble,
there's no tellin'.

Of course.

Nadine?

Damn it all,
will you let me in?

Nadine?

Nadine, I mean it now.

I know you're in there.
I can hear you movin' around.

She don't have the sense
that God gave a goose.

Wait a minute.

We break into the place
in the middle of the night.

The poor son of a bitch who
owns it turns out to be dead.

For all I know,
she probably killed him herself.

Lord knows,
she's mean enough.

Officer,
am I glad to see you.

There's a very
suspicious-looking character

running around out there.

I was just on my way back in to
tell my wife to call the police,

and I must have gone into
the wrong place by mistake.

Honey, don't do that.

Run for it.

Now why did you have to
do something like that?

I was doin' just...

Give me the keys!

Step on it, Vernon.
Step on it!

Watch out.

You picked a hell
of a time to stop!

Hang on, darlin'.

You mind tellin' me what the
hell was goin' on back there?

Well, sort of like this.

One of the girls
down at the shop,

and don't ask who it is,
'cause I ain't gonna tell ya.

Anyway, this guy Escobar

took some, uh, pic...

I mean, some
art studies of her...

What you mean

is this old boy talked her into posin'
bare-ass for a bunch of pictures?

And that bitch's ass
is not all they've done.

Vernon Hightower,
you got a dirty mind.

For your information,

Mr. Escobar was in the Army with Hugh
Hefner of Playboy magazine fame.

How about that?
He pulled that one on her?

He didn't pull nothin'.

I knew those gals in the shop wasn't
the smartest things in the world,

but I did give 'em
more credit than that.

And I'll bet you,
that she's got a husband

that's even dumber
than she is.

Hmm.

Are you tellin'
me that we nearly got ourselves killed...

I swear,
I never saw anything

like the way you drove that
car tonight, Vernon. Never.

Uh, mostly luck.

I mean, the way you went
90 miles an hour backwards,

without gettin' us killed.

And then you stopped the damn car.
I couldn't believe it.

"Goddamn, Vernon, what
a hell of a time to stop!"

I didn't say it like that.

Yeah, you did.

I did not.

Here I am,
sittin' around like we was still...

Listen,
you can't drive the Ford on account of

the police
will be lookin' for it.

Oh, no, okay, I won't.

I know this,

this old boy
who owes me a favor

and I'll take it over
and have him paint it.

That'd be real nice.

I guess
I'd better be goin'.

You're lookin' real good.

No, I mean, you know, it looks like,
you're eatin' real good.

Not too much or anything.

What I mean is that
you look real good.

You look real good, too.

Real good.

Well, I better
get on my horse.

Renee's gonna
be kinda worried.

Well, here.
Let me get you some ice, okay?

I'll be right back.

Ugh.

Oh, boy.

Hmm.

It don't do no good to cry whatsoever,
so you might as well quit.

It does you no good to
talk to yourself either.

Reverend,
I told you the last time

you were in this place
that I would not,

I repeat, not tolerate any handlin'
of snakes on this premises.

What the holy hell
is this?

Sir, we'd surely be grateful if
you wasn't to make them mad.

What I mean is, that way they
ain't gonna be no use to anybody.

Listen to me, you pinhead.

I'm gonna keep this box right here
in my office under lock and key

until you pissants are out of town.
Now get out!

Miss Hightower,

I'm Buford Pope.

Would you please come in?

I want to apologize for bringin'
you here in this crude and vulgar way,

but how come a nice girl like you
would let a low-life like Ray Escobar

take some indecent pictures
of her?

Believe me,
I'm startin' to regret it.

Nadine...
You don't mind if I call you Nadine, do you?

Nadine, I've got reason to believe
that you were at Ray Escobar's today,

lookin' for
these photographs.

I've also got
reason to believe

that you've come across somethin'
else while you were there.

And I'm just about positive that
whatever it was that you found,

it belongs to me.

Now, is it possible

that you have that somethin'
else we're talkin' about on you?

Well, I might.

Floyd?

Nadine,

we've got ourselves
a little problem.

Why, you miserable
son of a bitch.

You got some nerve
showin' up here.

If I wasn't otherwise
occupied right now,

I'd come out there,
and I'd whip your butt.

I swear... Dwight,

I don't see why you're so hot
under the collar there, pard...

You owe me $450,

not countin' legal fees
of $370 and change.

You're lucky I don't
get the sheriff on you.

Yeah, Dwight?

I'm your own family.
Don't that count for somethin'?

We are third cousins
once removed, period.

My mother does not remember ever layin'
eyes on your daddy.

Well, I just thought
I'd come by to tell you

that your third cousin once
removed is gonna be a jillionaire.

I just thought you might
want to know that.

Vernon, you don't
have diddly-squat.

You owe me
$820 plus interest,

the bank is about to foreclose on
that chicken shit bar of yours,

and now you're talkin'
about bein' a jillionaire.

Har-de-har-har.

Where'd you
get this thing?

You wouldn't happen to have a cold
beer in the icebox, would you?

I'll lay odds you didn't get
a hold of this by legal means.

I ought to
call the police.

You do that, pard.

Sweetheart?

Hey! Good for you, cousin.

How much you figure land along that
highway's gonna be worth an acre, hmm?

A lot.

That sounds reasonable.

I figure, right now it can't be worth
more than $500 to $600 an acre.

A few thousand dollars
in the right place,

I might end up with enough money to
get the Blue Bonnet on her feet.

Then watch my dust.

Can I have my picture back,
please?

Now, Vernon,
that ain't gonna do you the least bit of good

unless you can
afford to buy the land.

You don't have
a pot to piss in.

Well, that's why
I've come to see you.

I figured, with you being
a fancy lawyer and everything,

you might have some
designs in that direction.

Well, I'll tell you what.

You let me have
the rest of those maps,

I'll see how much cash
I can raise,

and whatever profit I make,
I'll cut you in for sure. How about that?

Hmm.

No.

No, I don't think so.

Damn.

Let's try this on for size.

You're a lawyer,

you call up some of your
rich friends and raise,

mmm, let's say, $50,000.

Then I'll let you
have these photos.

Dwight, hon?

I'll be right in, darlin'.

Vernon, this better not be
another one of your swindles.

Hey, Dwight, I swear, this time
everything's strictly on the up and up.

No, sir. I ain't
telling you where Vernon is.

You can break my arms, my legs,
it won't do a bit of good.

The only Vernon Hightower
I know

runs a dump out on South Lamar
called the Blue Bonnet Lounge.

He ain't the one.

Why don't you boys go out
there and pick him up?

Don't shoot him,

unless you have to.

Good evening there, Boyd.

Sorry I'm late.
How's business?

Not so hot,
Mr. Hightower.

We only took in $6
in change so far tonight.

Well, that's all right.

I got a feelin' we're about to turn
a financial corner here any minute.

You want a beer? Hmm?

Sure.

You know,
I've been thinkin'.

You know what we
need around this place?

A new sign.

Somethin' in neon.

Vernon Hightower's famous

Blue Bonnet Bar and Lounge.
And then...

Mr. Hightower, sir? I ought to tell
you the Lone Star people called.

They said if you don't
pay 'em what you owe 'em,

they're gonna stop
any more deliveries.

Why ain't nothin' ever easy?

Give me a nickel.

* I was born
in a small town

* Mama was a farmer's wife

* We knew everyone for
miles around

* We lived here
all our lives *

Renee? It's me, Vernon.

Listen, the way it works out, I'm not
gonna be able to see you tonight, hon.

No, nothing's the matter.

It's just that, I'm in the middle
of this big financial transaction,

and I got these details I gotta take care of.
You know how it is.

Listen, I'll tell you,
you could do me a little favor.

Remember how you said that
you could get your boss to do

just about anything
you wanted?

Well, if you could get him to
fix it so these Lone Star people

quit pesterin' me for the next couple
of weeks, I'd sure appreciate it.

I mean,
I'm good for it and everything,

it's just that,
all my money's tied up in,

you know, assets,
that kind of stuff.

Yeah?

Sug, I knew
I could count on you.

Yeah. Sug?
Sug, I gotta go now.

I'll miss you, too.

Me, too.

Toodle-oo, now.

Tell me somethin', Boyd.
When was the last time you had a raise, hmm?

A raise?

Mr. Hightower, I ain't even been
paid in the last two months.

Oh, hell, boy.

I'm sorry about that.

Hey, I'll tell you what.

Startin' next week,
I'm gonna double your salary.

Evenin', friends.
Came to the right place.

First drink's on me,
Vernon Hightower,

soon to be one of the richest sons of
bitches you ever set your eyes on.

What did you
do to him? Oh!

Don't worry, honey.
I fought like a tiger.

Mr. Hightower,

my name is Pope.

I've got good reason to believe that
you have in your possession somethin'

I want a whole lot.

I might have, I might not.

Do yourself a favor, son.
Don't get smart with me.

Listen to the man.
He's real serious about this.

I paid a whole bunch of
money for some information,

and the son of a bitch I was dealin'
with tried to double-cross me.

And the short of it is that you've
got somethin' that belongs to me.

Now then,

I'm asking you nicely.

Hand it over.

I can't do that.

I'll tell you
what I will do...

Mr. Hightower, if you think you can
deal yourself into this, forget it.

You're a two-bit loser, son, and you
haven't got the brains or balls for this.

First off, I won't have you talkin'
like that in front of my wife.

Stop! Stop it!

Look, can I talk to
my husband in private?

Floyd,
the woman wants to talk to her husband.

Now, hon, this is not the time to
start one of your stubborn streaks.

Don't worry, darlin'.
I'm on a roll.

Now, then,

whenever you're ready to get serious,
I'm ready to do business.

You want to get serious?
All right, I'll get serious.

Unless you hand over the goddamn map,
I'll kill the both of you.

Well, if you was to kill us,

I expect you'd never
get your hands on that map.

That's a fact.

But I think I can fix it so
you'll be real anxious to talk,

unless, of course,
you've got a fondness for rattlesnakes.

Hon, he's not
kiddin' around.

Where'd he get
a bunch of rattlesnakes?

Well, by a strange
coincidence,

I happen to have about five or six
rattlers right inside this box here.

He's tellin' the truth.
I swear.

You gonna
hand over that map?

Uh-uh.
No, sir, I'm afraid not.

Well, you sure you're not
goin' to change your mind?

Uh-uh.

Mountain?

Oh, God! I'm snake bit!
I'm dead!

All right! Let me see. All right!
Let's see. Let me see.

That's it there. Right there.

Oh, hell, you ain't snake bit.
That's a splinter!

Hold that box right there.
Floyd?

Come here and put somethin' on top of these
sons of bitches so they don't get out.

Uh-uh! First one comes close gonna
get a face full of rattlesnake.

Oh, goddamn it, man.
You lost your mind?

You let them snakes out of there,
they'll go after you as well as us.

All right, you.

Get your car keys out,
put 'em on the desk and get against the wall.

Floyd, you do that, boy,

you'll be wrestling duckshit
come Thursday night.

Floyd, you don't get
those car keys out here,

you're gonna be wrestling a
diamondback in about one minute.

You're gonna pay for this.

Darlin', find the car,
start the motor and honk the horn.

I'll be right along.

Okay.

Well, Mr. Hightower,

let's us have
a little talk here.

I know you're in what
they call financial straits.

So, why don't you let my boys here
set fire to that dump of yours?

That way, at least you'll
collect on the fire insurance.

All you have to do in return
is hand over the map.

I appreciate that, Mr. Pope,
but that won't do me no good now.

See,
I let the insurance lapse about a month ago.

All right, boys,
if I was you,

I'd head for high ground.

Get... Yikes!

Let me out of here!

You know what my problem
has been all this time?

I've been under-capitalized,
that's all.

You wait and see. We pull
this deal off, I'm home free.

Vernon, I don't know.

Buford Pope seems like the
real determined type to me.

Don't you worry about
Pope now.

I'm on top of that
whole situation.

Hey, wait a minute.

You don't believe what that
son of a bitch said, do you?

You don't think I'm some sort
of a two-bit loser, do you?

No, hon.
I've known you a real long time.

You can pretty much
do anything you want

once you set
your mind on it.

You mean that?

* I'll always love you

You know, it's funny
how you forget things.

Like what?

Well, like,
sittin' in the kitchen,

drinkin' beer, shootin' the shit with you.
Forgot how much I loved that.

* I'll lay her down

* Like this

Vernon, I think there's
something you should know.

Sure.

I'm...

You know, with your looks,
you could've married just about anybody.

Hmm?

That's why I've been bustin'
my butt over at the Blue Bonnet,

so you wouldn't feel
you made a mistake.

And also you'd feel that

you had something
to be proud about.

People like you and me,
we never get the breaks.

This time,
it's gonna be different.

This is the one chance
that I'm ever gonna get,

and I swear, I'm lettin'
nothin' get in my way.

There we go, runnin' off
at the mouth again.

What was it
you was gonna say?

Hmm, nothin'.
Wasn't important.

You fixin' your hair
different these days?

Uh, yeah, I copied it from
a picture in Modern Screen.

You like it?

Yeah,
it looks real nice.

What's that perfume
you're wearin'?

Evenin' in Paris. Why?

No reason.

* Your life is
no longer my home

* Without no news from home

I remember the first time
I set eyes on you.

It was a Friday night,
over at the Dairy Queen.

You was wearin'
a pink sweater.

Vernon,
don't do this to me.

I saw you standin' there

and I said to myself,

"Vernon Hightower,
you are a goner."

* I can't be here

* If you've got
the money, honey

* I've got the time

* We'll go honky-tonkin'
and dance to the music fine

* Anytime

* Dance to the music fine

* If you've got the money

* Honey, I've got the time

* There ain't no use
to carry

* Let's start out tonight

* If you've got the money

* Honey, I've got the time

Vernon!

Vernon.

Sug, it's me, Renee Lomax.

Soon to be
Mrs. Vernon Hightower.

What the hell...

Renee, what are you
doin' here this early?

I got
a surprise for you.

Oh, all right.
I'll be right there.

I talked to my boss.

Ow! God damn it!

What, is somethin'
the matter, honey?

No, no,
everything's fine.

Well, hurry up, sug.
I got to be to the office by 9:00.

Vernon Hightower.

Don't worry.
I'm on top of this whole situation.

Mornin', mornin'.
Good mornin'.

Oh, darlin',
what happened?

Huh? Oh,
it's a long story.

Uh, so what'd
your boss say, hmm?

Oh, Mr. Schmidt?
He said no.

He says as far as
he was concerned,

you were no-good,
shiftless white trash,

and you were getting
what you deserved.

Oh, God.
So this mornin',

I went to his office
real early,

and I snuck this bill
that shows all what you owe

out of his filing cabinet.
Uh-uh!

I think I'll keep it just to
be sure you behave yourself.

Unless, of course,
you want to come lookin' for it.

Honey, now come on.

You got to be
at work by 9:00, now.

I guess you're right.

Uh, hold on now.
I can explain everything.

It's from Scarborough's.

I swear, this has to be the most
beautiful thing I've ever set my eyes on!

I'm gonna try it on
right now.

No, no. Uh, honey, you don't wanna
be late for work, do you? Hmm?

Hey, I got an idea.
Why don't we leave this here, hmm?

You can come back
later and try it on.

Uh-uh, I wanna
take this with me.

I'm not gonna let this
out of my sight. Mmm.

Baby, wait out
in the pickup, hmm...

All right.
...while I get my jacket.

Vernon Hightower,
I'm standin' back here buck-naked.

If you let that dimwit
walk outta here

with my favorite nightgown,
you gotta be kiddin' me.

Trust me!
I got a plan.

Hey, Dwight? Yeah, it's me.
You got the money?

Great. Now then, I got
this little errand to run

and then I'll get the
map and be right there.

Oh, Dwight?

I swear,
you won't regret this.

For the first time in your life,
Vernon, you're probably right.

He's on his way.
Shouldn't be long now.

Vera, I gotta
ask a favor of you.

But you gotta
promise me one thing.

No questions, okay?

Okay. Now I know payday ain't
until tomorrow and everything,

but I gotta
get out of town real fast.

So can I have
my money today? Please?

$5, $10, $15,

$16, $17, $18.

Does this have anything
to do with Vernon?

As a matter of speakin'.

Well, did you tell him about the baby?
Oh, Vera, please!

All right, all right.
$19, $20, $21...

Nadine?

Damn it,
where the hell have you been?

I been lookin'
all over town for you.

Please inform
Mr. Vernon Hightower

that how he spent his morning
is no concern of mine?

I swear,
none of that was my fault.

Would you please tell my ex-husband
that I couldn't care less.

The man is tryin'
to explain.

If you'd just let him speak.
"Trust me," he said.

"I've a plan," he said.

Okay, I said I'm sorry.

Sorry just don't
get it done, Vernon.

Damn it, Nadine,
that was nothin' but business back there.

Don't look like
no business I ever saw.

Well, whatever it was,
I'm sure the man has a perfectly good reason.

You hit the nail
on the head.

Just listen to...
Where's my damn nightgown?

Look, here this poor man's been traipsin'
all around town lookin' for you

just so he can settle
this little misunderstanding.

It ain't no little
misunderstanding, Vera.

Nadine, now the least
you can do is listen.

All right, Vernon.

Thank you, Vera.
Now, darlin', I swear,

that woman don't
mean a thing to me.

What woman?
His fiancee.

She is not
my fiancee!

Vernon, how dare you!
You got a hell of a lot of nerve

chasin' around this
town with some floozy.

You got a wife here
that's pregnant.

Vera!

How come?

I ain't ever
talkin' to you again.

How come everybody in the
whole goddamn world knows

I'm gonna be a daddy
except me?

If you hadn't been so busy with that
nymphomaniac you're gonna marry...

Oh, damn it, Nadine,
I keep telling you...

Let me give you some advice,
purely as a friend.

When you do tie the knot with Renee,
don't plan on spendin'

your anniversary
at the Blue Bonnet.

She won't appreciate it
one bit.

I keep on trying to tell you,
I am not gonna marry...

I am not the least bit
interested in your future plans.

Doris Isabelle
and me are gonna...

Doris Isabelle?

My daughter.

Don't I get a say
in the matter?

I mean, I'm the daddy!
It's not the same.

Listen, you don't know
any more about being...

Floyd, go around back.
See if you can get in.

Come on, you little
rat shit! I want my car!

They didn't come out
the back,

so they must be
in here someplace!

All right, Hightower!

Might as well come on out.

Sooner or later,
we're gonna find you.

There ain't no sign
of 'em down here.

Come on.

This is gonna be like
shootin' fish in a barrel.

Come on!

I'll be right back.
Where you goin'?

I'm gonna find us
a way out.

You comin'?

Mountain, in here!

Watch out, now.

We can't go down that way.
It won't reach that far.

We ain't goin' down.

Then where?

Uh-uh. I ain't gettin' on that thing.
No.

No way! No way, Jose.

Vernon, I can't.
I'm afraid of heights.

Do you know that?

That ought to do the trick.

Uh-uh. I'd just as soon
you shot me right here

and be done with it than
set foot on that thing.

Nadine, you've got
a baby to think about.

Now haul ass.

Doris Isabelle, this whole mother deal
ain't workin' out like I expected.

I got an idea.

Whatever you do,
don't look down.

Oh, God, Vernon. Vernon!

You go first.

Come on. It was easy.

Doris Isabelle, oh, if we
get out of this thing alive...

Hon, whatever you do,

don't you ever fall in love with
a man on account of his looks.

You learn from
your mama's mistakes.

No.

Oh! Oh, my God.

My God.

Oh, God.

Darlin',
if I don't make it...

God, don't talk like that.

But if anything
should happen...

Please don't
talk like that.

I love you.

I always have,
always will.

Damn it.

If I'd known you was gonna
quit on me like this,

I wouldn't have fell in
love with you to start with.

If this is your idea of how you're
gonna get out of this marriage,

you got
another thing comin'.

I ain't done with you yet,
Vernon Hightower.

We started off together,

and by God, as long
as I'm drawin' breath,

you're gonna
have me to deal with.

Now you got that?

Let me do it.

Well, look here.

All right, Hightower.
Now where's my car keys?

In my pocket.

Why don't you
come and get 'em?

No. I got
a better idea.

No!

Now, you wanna keep
on being a smart-ass,

you're gonna be pickin' your teeth with
wrought iron in about one minute, buddy.

Vernon!

Vernon! Vernon!

Vernon! Are you okay?

Come on, darlin'.
We ain't got all day.

If you think I'm through being
mad at you on account of Renee...

All right, you first.
Go on.

What's she doin' here?

Thrilled to see
you, too, Dwight.

Come on, Dwight,
we got business.

I swear, you two
are livin' testimony

to the fact that it's better
to be lucky than smart.

Mr. Estes here has seen
fit to throw in with me.

I guess he figures it's better to
have a small piece of a sure thing

than half interest
in a cemetery plot.

That's right.

Me and Mr. Pope
are partners now.

But no hard feelings,
Vernon,

but you'd have just screwed this up,
somehow.

I'll remember that, Dwight.

I don't suppose you happen
to have that map on you?

I didn't think you would.

I'll make you a deal,
all right?

You let my wife go, I'll see
to it you get that map back.

What about this?

You get me the map,
then I'll let your wife go.

You don't have
a choice, Vernon.

All right.

You go with him, Estes.

Me? Why me?

'Cause I said so,
that's why.

South of town,
Old Highway 91,

there's a salvage yard that belongs to me.
I'll leave the gate open.

Try not to be late.

You know what your
problem is, Vernon?

You don't ever look
at the big picture.

Now that map's gotta be worth five,
ten million dollars.

That means raisin'
a lot of money fast.

So I went to Mr. Pope.

I mean,
everybody knows he's a high roller.

You tell me something,
how much do you expect to get on this deal?

Well, we haven't worked
out the exact figures yet.

I imagine
about $500,000.

What makes you think Buford
Pope's gonna give you that money?

Because we have an agreement.
Why wouldn't he?

Well, I guess $500,000
is reason enough.

I mean, Dwight,
once he's got his hands on those photos,

what the hell's
he need you for, hmm?

Vernon, Vernon.
Where is the map?

Suit yourself, pal.
It's right here.

Uh-huh. Yeah. Uh-huh.

I saw that same TV show.

Now hand it over.

I'm warnin' you,

anything happens to Nadine,
you're as good as dead.

You got that?

Do you mind
if I have a beer? Hmm?

I usually don't drink this early in
the morning, but this is an exception.

Be my guest.

Vernon Hightower, I'm so
mad at you I could bust!

Renee, Dwight.
Dwight, Renee.

I sincerely hope you are not
in business with Mr. Hightower

'cause he is nothin'
but a low-down scum!

Don't I know it.

Do you see this?
This is a size 6.

I wear a size 8.

You'd think, somebody that's
supposed to be my fiance would know

a thing like that.

But I'm such
a trustin' person,

I thought it was
an honest mistake.

So what do I do?

I go down to the store
and try to exchange it.

And what do
they tell me?

They tell me they cannot
take it back

because it is
a used garment!

Used. Furthermore,
they hadn't had

this particular style
in the store in six months.

Well, I didn't even know Vernon
Hightower six months ago.

Oho, if you're tryin'
to scare me with that thing, it won't work.

You must've told me a dozen times
already about how you keep that gun

in the ice chest
just for show.

About how the firin'
pin's jammed and it won't shoot. Here!

As far as I'm concerned,
we are no longer engaged!

It was nice
to have met you.

I don't know, Vernon.

This just doesn't
seem to be your day.

Floyd?
Any sign of 'em yet?

Not yet.

I gotta be
frank with you.

I don't see you
gettin' away with this.

That's gonna be
the easiest part of it.

The hard part, the part
I'm not lookin' forward to...

Let me have that bottle.

The fact of the matter is,
I've never killed a woman before.

Here they come.

You got that map?

It's right here.
Now I was wonderin'...

Floyd?
...if we...

Mountain?

Where's my damn car, huh?

And my pistol,
God damn it!

You and me gonna have a little talk later on,
you hear me?

Now then, Mr. Pope, there's a couple
things that we never did work out.

Now, not that there's gonna
be any kind of problem,

but I was just wonderin'
if we could get somethin' down on paper.

Some kind of
an informal agreement.

Hey!

I lived up to my end of the bargain.
Let her go.

This place looks like pure "D" dogshit,
don't it?

You may not think it,
but there's enough explosives here,

if he was to put a little
gasoline in the right place,

light a match
at the wrong time,

this dump would go up
like a Roman candle.

There'd be no way they'd
ever find your bodies.

Take 'em on in
and shoot 'em.

Hey, hey!
Now he wasn't talkin' about me.

I was especially
talkin' about you.

Hey, now, we had an agreement, damn it.
You can't just back out

Dwight! Dwight!

I guess this just ain't
your day, is it, cousin?

Son of a bitch!

Now, move it! Come on!

Get in there!

Come on, go!

Move it!

Now go on over there
against that wall. Go on.

I guess
this is it for us.

And I gotta
get this said.

Now, I know I ain't been the
easiest person to get along with.

I know I'm stubborn
and selfish...

All right,
that's far enough.

Now which one of y'all
wants to go first?

Hold on, Mountain.

I want to talk to that
son of a bitch over there.

But Mr. Pope told me...

I don't give a shit
what Mr. Pope says.

You finish up outside,
I'll take care of these two.

Now then,
where's my damn car?

You got about as much chance of gettin'
that junk heap back...

Now, you look here,
shitface!

You don't tell me where that
car is in about one second...

You even think
about tryin' anything,

you can wave goodbye
to your private parts.

All right,

we're goin' out that door,

and you're gonna tell your
friends to put down them guns.

You got that straight?
Yes, sir.

You mean to say to me,
you had that thing all along

and you didn't
tell me about it?

Mind if we talk
about this another time?

And all the time
I was just thinkin',

this is the end.
I'd never see you again.

Here we go.

Uh-oh.

Uh, Mr. Pope?

We got us
a small problem.

Floyd, goddamn it!

Come on.

Look at it this way.
Your share just got a whole lot bigger.

Get on out there.

Hon, if you wasn't
to yell so much,

I'd sure appreciate it.
Understand?

Here.

Come on.

He's over there
by that rusted-out Chevy.

This ought to keep 'em busy long
enough for us to get outta here.

You got a match?

Do I look like
I have a match?

You know,

you could be a hell of a
lot more help sometimes.

All right, here's
what we're gonna do.

I'm gonna start shootin'.

You're gonna throw this as
close as you can to that car.

I'm gonna set it off
from here.

You ready?

Vernon,
is this gonna work?

No.

Oh!

You missed.

Hell, I know that much!

Listen,
this is not the easiest thing in the world.

You didn't think I could do it,
did you?

All right, come on,
let's get outta here.

All right.

Wait here.

I'm gonna get the pickup.
I'll be right back.

Vernon Hightower,
you leave me all alone here...

Mr. Hightower,
you're beginnin' to get on my nerves.

Nadine?

That's right.

Why is it you work your butt off
all your life just to get ahead,

and it takes a couple of
nitwits about 10 minutes

to screw
the whole thing up?

Honey, once I get
that shuffleboard in,

I can enlarge
the dance floor,

get a bandstand,
a crystal chandelier.

Aren't you countin'
your chickens just a little early, sport?

Trust me, hon.

Now then,
about the new sign.

What new sign?

You think 40-foot
across is too small?

40-foot across?

Have you gone
out of your mind?

I guess you're right.

Anything bigger than
that would look gaudy.

If you think you're gonna throw
away all our money on some...

Just trust me.

Vernon Hightower,
let's get one thing straight right now.

The Blue Bonnet's
never gonna do squat.

I don't care how much
money you put into it.

You know, I was thinking somethin' in neon,
that sort of revolves...

The sound of my voice don't
seem to be reachin' your ears.

Hon, we gonna
have us a baby.

And you know
what that means?

That means we have to
start actin' responsibly.

And you know
what that means?

We'll put it high up so people
can see it for miles around.

"Nadine Hightower's world famous
Blue Bonnet Bar and Lounge."

What color neon?

Royal blue.

Uh-uh, pink.
Pink's my lucky color.

Well, we'll talk about it.

Mmm,
maybe we could paint the outside a little.

Put up a big picture window,
somethin' like that.

I could hire some waitresses with
those little short uniforms on,

you know, with the bows
in the back.

Now then,
Mr. Hightower,

we've listened to Mr. Dwight Estes and Ed
"The Mountain" Hayes.

They both
corroborate your story.

Furthermore, the prints found on the
weapon used to kill Mr. Floyd Simmons

belong to Buford Pope.

We're formally charging him with
the murders of Raymond Escobar

and Floyd Simmons.

Well, if you'd listened
to me in the first place,

we'd all have
saved lots of time.

Mr. Hightower, just about the only
thing you're not guilty of is murder.

First, we have
a resisting arrest.

Then we have
breaking and entering.

Then we have some
more resisting arrest.

And we have something here we haven't
quite figured out what to call it yet.

And then,
according to Mr. Hayes,

you entered into a conspiracy
to defraud the state of Texas

by stealin' a map from
the Highway Department

for the purpose
of commercial gains.

Well, that is about the damnedest
thing that I've ever heard of.

Isn't that about the damnedest
thing you ever heard of?

Then you deny having
said map on your person?

You're damn-well right
we deny it.

Don't we now, honey?

Then you won't mind
if we search you.

Oh, hold on.
I didn't say that.

Good. Uh, Sam and Gerald.

Hey, now.
Hey, wait a minute, now.

Hey, I know my rights.
I'm supposed to be able to call my lawyer.

All right. You can do
what you want with me.

My wife didn't know
anything about this.

Do you know what the penalty is for somethin'
like this?

Six to twelve
in Huntsville.

Vernon, trust me.
