Text Fix and Resync By Chuck

(dramatic instrumental music)

(horn honking)

(gun firing)

- [Tod] Get down!

(dramatic music)

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

- Hey, buddy.

What do you think you're doin'?

(gun firing)

(tire deflating)

- You blow the horn,
I blow the tires.

- That was a doe and
not even a yearling.

(gun firing)

- You keep tryin' to
spoil my fun, sonny.

- Hump.

- Look here, Trinket.

I just bagged
myself a sports car.

- Why don't you put that
gun down, you drunken slob,

and find out how good you are.

- That'd be a pretty smart
thing to do, wouldn't it?

(gun firing)

(tire deflating)

- Hon, you'll attract every
game warden in the county.

You won't even have a
trophy to show for it.

- Yeah, well how
about these two?

How'd you like to have
their heads mounted

over the fireplace?

(dramatic music)

- Aren't you even gonna
give me a blindfold?

Come on, honey, give the boys
that money for the tires.

Let's go on back to town.

- I'll pay 'em nothing.

- Um, do me a favor and
just forget about it.

He'll kill ya.

(dramatic music)

- Hey, where do you
think you're going?

- Hunting for a
license plate number.

(suspenseful music)

(engine rumbling)

(light instrumental music)

- Morning.

- Morning, can I help you?

- We need a couple
of 670 15s and a trip

about 10 miles back
out highway 85.

- Recaps?

- No, nylon premiums, the best.

- I don't have 'em here.

Might take a little while to
get 'em from the warehouse.

- Start calling.

- They run you about
$45 bucks apiece.

- I said start calling.

- Deposit.

- Let's look around.

(laughing and conversing
in background)

- Havin' a good time?

- Yeah.

- Frank!

Have you been in
here all this time?

How come you're not out
there with the gang?

Lot of those mule jockeys
used to work for you.

- I got better to do than
to cool my heels out there.

Four hours you kept me waiting.

I drove all the way
up from Roswell.

Now what is it can't be
settled on the phone?

- Frank, Frank, there's
no time to talk business.

Hey, how long's it been since
you shot yourself a buck?

Or caught yourself a steelhead?

Don't tell me.

It shows.

You been down there in
Roswell tryin' to hold

body and soul together,

tryin' to keep that fine,
little outfit of yours

perkin' right along.

Baker Truckin', yes sir.

It's a fine, little outfit.

Now the way I see it,

the best thing for you is
to come on up to the lodge

with us tomorrow morning,

get yourself some of
that pure country air.

You got to come back a new man,

seein' things a lot clearer.

- I went all the way
up here just for this?

If you'd asked me on the
phone I'd say thanks,

but I'm too busy right now.

- Now you sound just like Gus,

never know when to let
up or when to quit,

either one of ya.

Maybe that's because you
started out together, huh?

(chuckles)

Funny how things
work out, isn't it?

I mean, you, you still
got that little outfit.

Oh, it's a fine, little
outfit for what it is.

And Gus, look at Gus now.

He's big, Frank.

Really big, in spite of himself.

Almost as big as a man can get.

He's my partner.

Big schemes, big dreams.

You know what I've
been dreamin', Frank?

That someday soon our
trucks will be rollin'

straight through,
coast to coast.

Just a couple of
more franchises.

Couple of more lakes,

(fingers snapping)

end of the rainbow, right?

- You tryin' to put
the pressure on me?

- You're kind of
jumpy today, Frank.

- Gus won't stand for it.

You know Gus, live and let live.

That's him.

- Yeah.

Yeah, that's Gus all right.

Well, sorry you can't stay
on and join the party, Frank.

- The next time you cry
wolf, I won't come running.

- Frank, come on back in
here and close that door.

I here you got a turn
down at the bank.

End of line, huh?

- All the way up here
I kept tellin' myself

Gus will loan me what I need.

- Look, maybe Gus has
got 51% of this outfit,

but I got 49, and I say
we loan you nothin'.

You're just one link, Frank.

One more franchise in our
pocket and then whoosh,

coast to coast.

- Gus won't let it happen.

- Don't you sleep on it.

For my offering price,

may just get lower
than it already is.

Aw, come on, Frank.

There's no sense in us
talkin' rough to each other.

Go on out there and find
yourself some company.

Pour yourself a
nice, long drink.

You don't think that
just because we're gonna

take over your outfit we're
gonna put you out, do ya?

Well, Frank, I'd rather
cut off my right arm.

No, sir.

You're stayin' right on.

You're gonna manage the
Roswell branch for us.

10 grand a year, and
a piece of the action.

And you come in, what, two,
maybe three days a week.

Now how's that sound?

- Why don't you go out
somewhere and die, Humphrey?

- Bank rolls,
having a good time?

(people conversing
in background)

We need more food on the buffet.

I told ya to keep
room service hopping.

I also told ya to
keep circulating.

Keep it alive, keep it happy.

- I'm keepin' it happy,
I'm keepin' it happy.

- I don't know about
you anymore, Trinket.

You're not the girl
you used to be.

- Ah, now there's some
words we oughta carve

on the head of a pen.

Those are monumental words,

spoken by my lord and master.

That charming gentleman
that introduced me

to the piper.

By the way, where is he?

- Where is who?

- The piper.

You know, I've been
lookin' around for him

thinkin' it was time
he oughta get paid.

When is he comin' for
his pound of flesh?

- There's one thing I
can't stand is a dame

when she starts to needle.

Now circulate, Trinket.

And try and act like a lady.

- Oh, now you know I do that.

Tell me, honey, is
anybody here capable of

applauding, appreciatin'
my performance?

- No, sir.

I just don't know about
you anymore, Trink.

(suspenseful music)

- You think he's gonna
stop right in front of us?

- Well, it's a small town.

- Maybe he went on
to Taos or Espanola.

- Then we go to
Taos or Espanola.

As soon as we find out
he's not in Santa Fe.

(people conversing
in background)

- [Man] Hey, here's Gus.

(crowd greeting Gus)

For he's a jolly good fellow

- Where is he?

- Hump?

Well, if I know Hump,
who knows him better,

he's behind four
aces back there.

Nobody can deny

(crowd cheering)

- Hey, it's Gus.

We were just sayin',
what's keepin' Gus.

- Out!

All of ya.

Except Hump.

- Gus, we're right in
the middle of a hand.

- I said out!

We got business, you and me.

(party music and chatter)

(dramatic music)

- 11H6352.

That's it, that's it.

(people laughing in background)

- I want him.

- Uh-uh, he's mine.

- Odds or evens?

- Odds.

Like I said, he's mine.

- Who's the head of
this outfit, Hump?

Who's boss?

- Well, Gus, we're partners.

- I am.

President, boss,
me, Guss Patton.

I make the decisions,
all of 'em.

- Now slow down, Mr. President.

I ain't one of your
wheel jockeys no more.

I got me 49% of this outfit,
and that's a lot of percent.

So don't start talkin'
to me like that.

- I just met Baker in the lobby.

He's ready to blow
his brains out.

He said you're
clamping him to death.

- That's business,
Gus, business.

- I look at you
and my skin crawls.

You are not the one I
took you off those trucks

and cut you when them
buddy boys is just as easy

to cut you out.

- Listen, you'd still be
movin' furniture around town

if it wasn't for me.

I built on, Pat, not you.

Maybe I did push a few
people off the road,

but you're livin'
fat because I did.

This is a business
for muscle, Gus.

The more you got,
the more you get.

(party music and chatter)

- You haven't got much sense,

but you got a lot of spirit,
so I'll drink to that.

- Where's the
great white hunter?

- Don't move, don't turn around.

He's got you covered.

(laughing)

Go have a drink now.

Bygones and soda?

- Come on, he's gotta be
in one of these rooms.

- Pick it up.

- What's that?

- It's a copy of our
partnership agreement.

I brought it along
before I knew what you

were doing to Baker.

I brought it along, Hump,

because I'm sick of
standing on the sidelines

and letting you set up
one Baker after another.

It's all done now, big boy.

All done.

- Come on, Gus.

- You ever read fine print?

- What you gettin' at?

- You.

Oh, there's really lots of fine
print in our contract, Hump.

It's a pity you didn't read
it before you signed it.

Paragraph 14C.

I'm giving you 72 hours
notice starting right now.

I'm buying you out, partner.

- Where?

Where does it say that?

- Oh, you never could read
anything but a road map,

could you, Hump?

Well, big man, you're gonna
be cash rich in 72 hours,

but you won't be
with this company.

- Just like that?

- Just like that.

- You just bought yourself
a whole mess of trouble.

- Why don't we make
that unanimous?

- What are you doing here?

Get out.

- Maybe you didn't hear.

Sports cars are out of season.

- Not to mention people.

- Get the boys.

- Look, friend.

Right now you're an
innocent bystander.

- [Gus] I'm not one
for crowds myself.

- We're not too large
on day time parties,

but your kind of invitation's
hard to turn down.

- It's a 300 H&H
magnum, hand made.

Real circassian walnut stock.

All the way from Russia.

Ever see a rifle like that?

- Only once.

- It's yours.

(banging)

- You got that old pizazz, kid.

I like that.

It's all yours.

Take it and get out.

- What does he owe us?

- Two tires and a little time.

About a $100 dollars.

- We'll take it out in trade.

- Dealer's choice.

(grunting)

(punches smacking)

(glass breaking)

(punches smacking)

(grunting)

(laughing)

Well, pick it up.

Pick it up!

You're fast, boy.

A real alley cat.

- You've worked a few
garbage cans yourself.

- Come on.

- Yeah.

- Wait.

I got a story I
want to tell you.

One time I was on a safari,

this old water buffalo
come charging me,

about to kill me.

That's you, boy.

Why, I'm quick.

You know what I did?

I had him caught and rope tied.

And I had my bearers
dig a deep pit

covered over with
branches and leaves.

Then I got on the
other side of it.

I had them loose
that old buffalo.

Ha, he come charging
again, and whoosh!

Then you know what I did?

I sat on the edge
of that pit all day,

just keep pumpin' shots away.

First the hooves, then
the horns, chip by chip.

- Finally the eyes, one by one.

- I'm not finished.

There's a moral to this story.

From now on, boys, step lightly.

(dramatic music)

- Since one of us has to
be at the lodge tomorrow

for the hunting trip and
you're leaving the company,

I'll extend your apologies.

(dramatic music)

(midtempo instrumental music)

- [Tod] Hi.

- What do you boys do?

Carry two spares?

- What gives?

- I'm waiting to ask you.

- We had two tires
shot out this morning.

- Hardly looks like it, does it?

- I don't know, it must've
been the little people

that live in the woods.

- Using invisible
bullets, I expect.

- Well, these are all paid for.

I suppose you can figure out
what you want to do with 'em.

- Look, you may
think we're crazy,

but we had those two
tires shot out from under

us this morning.

- Oh, I think
you're pretty slick.

I think you paid a lot
of money for an alibi

that isn't gonna work, mister.

- Wait a minute.

What do you mean alibi?

- The state of New Mexico
sets up its game laws

to protect against
poachers like you.

- Poachers?

We don't even have a gun.

- You don't, huh?

You seem kind of surprised.

Fact is, I didn't
find it in the car.

I found it in the brush
where you threw it.

Now you may not want
to sniff that gun

to see if it's been fired,

because I expect
you already know.

But you see, I didn't
know, so I sniffed.

It turned out it had
been fired after all,

which didn't surprise me,

after I found that doe you shot.

- What doe?

- The doe I found
over by your tent.

That one.

Now let me tell you somethin'.

Laws are one thing, and
breaking laws is one thing,

but breaking laws the way
you did is something else.

You call yourselves hunters,

well you're not hunters.

You're killers.

- Wait a minute, wait a minute.

- That animal is
less than a year old

and it's a doe, and
this is a game refuge.

Now I checked your
car real good, fellas,

and I found food,

so you can't tell me that
you killed for hunger,

which is something that
I could understand.

- Now, look, I don't
care what you think.

- Hold it, hold it, hold it.

- Now just wait a
minute, I don't--

- We didn't kill any deer.

Let's look at this thing calmly.

- Well, I'm not calm.

You want somebody to
listen to you calmly,

you talk to the
justice of the peace.

All right, let's
get in my truck.

- Get your hands off me!

(dramatic music)

- Now get it straight.

I didn't happen on this job.

I went after it
because I like animals.

Now get in.

- Ah, good girl, Trink.

I got him, right in the eye.

I was on this ferry, see,

and up in this tree
is a big hippopotamus

looking right down at me.

So I say now, what
would Hump do?

He'd hit him right in the eye.

So here's mud in your
eye, old Humpopotamus.

- You go on up and get dressed.

We'll have dinner with the gang.

- Hail, hail, the
gang's all here, what...

How come?

I thought we were fired.

- He said 72 hours, didn't he?

That's a world of time.

- Hump.

- And pour on the charm
at dinner tonight,

especially Gus.

- I'm blessed to go to dinner.

Let's get packed
and go to Oklahoma.

It's such a beautiful night.

- Wear that new dress
I bought ya in Dallas,

the shiny one.

- Hump, you're gonna be bustin'
at the seams with money.

Ain't that enough?

- Listen, kid.

When you got $15
bucks in your kick,

you want $50.

When you got a
piece of the action,

you want the whole action.

When you got 10
states, you want 48.

Don't you see, Trink?

That's what makes a man
different from an animal.

With an animal, it's
one kill, one dinner.

But with a man, a real man,

there's never any
such thing as enough.

Now go on, Trink.

Make yourself beautiful.

(soft instrumental music)

(cell door banging)

- Well that Hump.

There's a guy with a
great sense of humor.

- Well, it's almost 10:00.

Maybe we should make
our one phone call.

- Well you think that's
gonna do any good?

I mean, how does a banker in
Denver know who's calling?

Anybody can get on
the phone and say

good morning, old buddy.

This is the deposit
of Stiles and Murdock

calling from our cozy,
little cell in Santa Fe.

Would you do us a big favor
and send us $600 dollars

from our account,
quick like a bunny?

- That's not the way it works.

Remember when we
opened the account,

they sent us all those
forms and I had to fill out

my mother's maiden
name and place of birth

and all that jazz?

It's like a code.

This morning when
we call the bank,

they'll ask us the
same questions.

- Well, what happens
if you're an orphan?

- Don't get arrested.

- Thanks.

- Hey there, them buffalo.

I'll take these two.

Come on.

Olly olly oxen free.

- Okay, okay, what's
this all about?

- My good deed for the year.

Perhaps for the decade.

- [Officer] She
has paid your bail.

- And it's not even deductible.

Bye.

(light instrumental music)

- Hey!

Hey.

What's your friend Hump doing?

Letting us out so he can
set us up for a felony rap?

- Hump?

He's forgotten
all about you two.

Once he's bagged his quarry,

it's dead and buried as
far as he's concerned.

- Except for you?

- I think back in
Elizabethan times,

they must've signed
up men like you

to chop off heads.

- That's right.

I come from a long
line of head hunters,

and I'm lookin' for one
in particular this season.

A thick-necked slob called Hump.

Where do you suggest I start?

- In your little sports car,
with your seat belt fastened,

and your hood pointed east,

and you go just as fast
and as far as you can.

- Oh, we're getting
very attached to Hump.

We're finding more and
more in common with him.

It's a little experience
we shared together,

you know what I mean?

- Yeah, everybody
falls into Hump's trap.

He's got a skill for huntin'

and a real way with people.

Take me for example.

I was 18 years old
when he went huntin'

at my daddy's farm.

Had a big, shiny car
and a flashy ring.

It took him 30 minutes
to sweet talk my daddy.

Daddy said, "Bring
her up a lady, sir.

"Give her a fine education."

He kept that part of the deal.

I got a real education.

Part of that education was
learning not to cross him.

You all just drive out of town.

Did you get all of that?

He's that good.

(light instrumental music)

- Gentlemen.

- Is Mr. Humphrey still in 416?

- Nah, the whole pack of 'em
climbed into chartered buses

this morning at five.

Woke up half the hotel.

- Where'd they go?

- Hunting, I guess.

- Hunting? Where?

- Clawson Lodge
up in the Pakers.

You boys late for the party?

- Yeah.

- Thanks.

- Good hunting.

(dramatic music)

(light instrumental music)

- Chet, I don't care
how busy you are.

I told you months
ago about that post.

Ah, be with you in
just a minute, fellas.

And just this morning we
found two more of his traps.

No, they were sprung.

And one had a deer foot in it.

Cut off clear to the flint lock.

- Well, look who's here.

The rolling stones.

Don't you know you
can't gather any moss

just rolling and rolling?

- Now what about Old Man River?

He just rolls along.

Think of all the
moss he gathers.

- Uh-huh.

Well, climb aboard the ark,

because we're about
to have another flood

when Hump sees you
two boys around.

He's out there with a gun,

just waitin' to find
somethin' to kill.

- Out where?

- You know, every time he
sees some living thing,

he looks for the kill point.

Between the eyes,
behind the foreleg,

base of the spine.

You know, it just
depends on the game.

See?

That's what happens when
you've been around long enough.

The whole world's a target.

The payoff's just
one more bullseye.

Oh, why do you want
to be a target?

- Well, I'll tell ya.

They got this little
book at the Santa Fe jail

where they write down all
the names of the bad guys

that shoot off guns
in posted areas.

- It's the same one
they throw at you.

- Yeah, like $300 dollars
fine per head for a starter.

- 90 days in jail.

- Now, the trial's Tuesday.

- We need a witness.

- Somebody to testify,
somebody to throw a little

truth in the ring.

- Somebody like
your friend Hump.

- [Tod] We thought he just
loved to take the ride

and clear the record.

Now where is he?

(laughing)

- Ooh, you boys are
down right square.

Whatever happened to
all of the wonderful

square people in the world?

- Maybe Hump found
their kill point.

- You go out that upper
trail and he'll find yours.

- Thanks.

All we have to do is follow
the gunshots and the bodies.

- Listen, listen to me.

Now what's more important?

Two more demerits in
Santa Fe or stay alive?

Go after him now, you'll
never leave New Mexico.

- Look, 90 days or never,
what's the difference?

- You're kiddin'.

- No, we're not.

- What'll you do
if you find him?

Talk him back in?

- Sooner or later, he's
gonna put that gun down.

When he does, we'll get him.

(dramatic music)

(glass breaking)

(dramatic music)

(gun firing)

(laughing)

- What are you shootin' at?

The next mountain?

- My dang sights need adjusting.

- Who you kiddin'?

It's your eyeballs
that need adjusting.

Hey, look, let's double up.

Let's make it $10 bucks a twig.

How about it?

- With my turn coming up next?

- Go ahead, Gus, show us how.

- Yeah.

- Come on, Gus.

Give us a lesson.

- All right, but
how's it gonna look?

I bring you boys up
here for your vacation,

take all your money.

It's a terrible way
for a boss to act.

(laughing)

(gun firing)

- Well.

- Still wanna make it $10 bucks?

(gun firing)

- Hey, Hump.

(men greeting Hump)

- Gus said you
might now make it.

- Aw, you boys know
better than that.

I wouldn't miss a chance
to do some shootin'.

Hey, I'm sorry I knocked
down your targets, Gus.

Just havin' a little fun.

- Makes no difference, Hump.

We were just killing some time.

- Killin' time?

With all the game
in these mountains?

Hey, you come on with me.

We'll go on up ahead.

I'll show you some
real shootin'.

I got me an eight-point
buck all staked out.

You boys don't mind, do ya?

- No, we're just
goofin' off anyway.

- We'll go on back to the lodge.

- So long, boss.

- Unless you're too tired, Gus.

- I'll take it as
far as you will.

- That a boy.

Hey!

You guys tell cook that Gus
and me's gonna bring home

some venison for dinner.

- Yeah?

You wouldn't mind us
having the cook put out

some beef steak just
in case, would ya?

(laughing)

- Hey, you guys keep
them cards warm.

We'll pick up where we left off.

I feel lucky.

- Right, see ya.

- See ya, boss.

- Great guys, great guys,

but real pigeons when it
comes to seven card stud.

- Won't do ya any good, Hump,

layin' on all this charm.

That 72 hours still holds.

- I never mix business
and pleasure, Gus.

Now come on.

Let's go.

(laughing)

- Look, Trinket, you're a
good kid and all that jazz

and we appreciate
you warning us,

but from now on, stay
out of it, would ya?

Go home.

- Well, what if he kills ya?

What about my investment?

And my conscience.

(light suspenseful music)

- Now you keep your
eyes open, Gus.

We gotta find us that buck.

- [Gus] Watch it!

- Oh, come on, Gus.

(laughing)

- You were that desperate, Hump?

- You know somethin', Gus?

If I did fall off here,
you'd save yourself

a million dollars.

Did you ever think of that?

- I don't think the way you do.

Funny, it took me all these
years to see it so clear.

- You know, I had
Baker in a gunny sack.

Now what's wrong with that?

You explain that to me.

- If I gotta explain it,

you wouldn't
understand it anyway.

- Look, Gus, Baker's just one
more animal in this jungle,

just like me,

and just like you.

- Hump!

Hang on!

- You gonna help me, Gus?

It'll cost you a million.

- [Gus] Dig in.

We'll make it.

- Together, Gus?

Hump-Pat?

You and me?

(wind blowing)

What do you say, Gus?

Like it's always been?

- No, I meant it.

It's all over.

That's it.

- Well, that's the
way you want it.

- Hump, no!

(dramatic music)

- Why, Hump?

Why?

- [Tod] Come on!

(gun firing)

- Trink, try grabbin' on.

(dramatic music)

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

(gun firing)

- Ah!

(laughing)

That's his way.

Piece by piece.

Just one little nick at a time.

(laughing)

(dramatic music)

- Hump, can you hear me?

Hump, let's make a deal.

We didn't see anything, okay?

Hump?

We changed our mind.

It's none of our business.

This is between you and Trinket.

We'll just leave the
girl and cut out, okay?

Is that okay, Hump?

(dramatic music)

(trap snapping)

(screaming)

(gun firing)

- Get way from him.

Hump?

First the hooves.

Isn't that right?

(gun firing)

- Trinket!

- Then the horns, chip by chip.

- Uh, that's my girl.

Make it count, just like
I always showed you.

- Beg.

I wanna hear you beg.

- Sure, hon.

Sure.

Just, just aim straight now.

Nice and clean.

Right between the eyes.

That's what I want now.

That's what you gotta do.

I got that much comin'.

That's a girl.

(groaning)

Just hold down steady

and squeeze it, squeeze it off.

Shoot, Trinket, shoot!

- Trinket, don't you see
what he's tryin' to do?

He's gonna drag
you down with him.

- Don't listen to him!

Use it, Trinket!

Use it!

Don't you see?

They want to put me in a cage.

- That's not so bad, huh?

Look at me.

I've managed.

(grunting)

- You always run with
the best, huh, Trink?

Huh?

You ain't gonna let 'em lock
me up some place, are ya?

Please, Trinket.

Please use it.

Use it, Trink, like I taught...
