[Car horn]
HEY, CLETE, SAM.
[Sam chuckling]
HERE, COME OVER HERE.
[Police radio] SAM, SAM.
THIS IS SAM.
NIGGER HUSTLER DONE RIPPED OFF THE POKER PALACE.
[Sam] SON OF A BITCH.
[Tires squealing]
[Siren]
[Train bell ringing]
[Tires skidding]
[Train brakes squealing]
[Clete] OH, YEAH.
[Chuckling]
YOU KNOW, BOY, CRIME JUST DON'T PAY IN BUCKTOWN.
[Sam] HEY, CLETE, YOU SURE DO ENJOY YOUR WORK.
YEAH, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
HEY,YOU KNOW, THIS IS A REAL BAD CAT.
HE ALMOST KILLED A COUPLE OF HIGH ROLLERS.
YOU GONNA BE IN TOWN LONG?
WHY? ARE YOU THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE?
HEY, WELL, YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME WHILE YOU'RE HERE.
[Sam] BETTER GET HIS ASS TO THE HOSPITAL.
YOU KNOW WHERE THE CLUB ALABAM IS ?
YES.
SON, DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?
YEAH, SURE. WHY NOT?
THEN YOU'RE IN THE WRONG PLACE.
[Chuckling]
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IT WAS CLOSED?
YOU DIDN'T ASK, DID YOU?
PLACE'S BEEN CLOSED SINCE BEN DIED.
WHERE CAN I FIND A GOOD HOTEL?
WE AIN'T GOT ONE.
WELL, HOW ABOUT ONE THAT CHANGES SHEETS
AT LEAST EVERY OTHER NIGHT.
HMM. THAT WOULD BE THE OLD DIXIE.
IT'S JUST A COUPLE OF BLOCKS DOWN. I'LL TAKE YOU.
NO, THANK YOU.
I'LL WALK.
BABY, IS THAT REALLY ALL YOU?
SWEETIE, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET.
HA HA HA!
BUT FIRST I WANT TO SEE THE COLOR OF YOUR GREEN,
AND I'LL SHOW BOTH OF YOU A TIME YOU'LL NEVER FORGET.
I'LL HELP YOU WITH THIS, MISTER.
NO CHARGE. I'M GLAD TO HELP.
BUT IF YOU WANT TO TIP ME A HALF A BUCK,
I'LL TELL YOU WHERE TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER
AND WHERE TO GET IT ON.
OH, YEAH? GET WHAT ON?
YOU NAME IT, I GOT IT.
NAH. NO, THANKS.
OKAY, HOW ABOUT CARDS?
IF YOU GO TO DOC ANDERSON'S,
CHECK THE DEUCES AND NINES.
THEY'RE MARKED.
LITTLE MAN, I AIN'T INTERESTED.
OKAY, WOMEN.
THE BEST IN TOWN IS SONORA OVER AT RUBY'S.
BUT DON'T LET HER GET ON TOP
OR SHE'LL BUCK YOUR BRAINS OUT.
WHERE DO YOU GET ALL THIS INFORMATION FROM, ANYWAY? YOU SELL PENICILLIN, TOO?
THANKS, MAN. SEE ARNETTA.
SHE'LL GET YOU THE BEST ROOM IN THE HOUSE
AND BE SURE AND TELL HER STEVIE SENT YOU.
IS THAT YOURS?
YEAH. WHY?
'CAUSE YOU'RE THE ONLY PIMP I EVER SEEN THAT DRIVES A MOTORBIKE.
HEY.
I AIN'T NO PIMP.
I'M WALT DISNEY,
AND THIS IS DISNEYLAND.
HA HA HA.
[Ding]
OOH.
GOT A ROOM?
HOW MANY NIGHTS, HONEY?
JUST ONE.
THAT'LL BE $15 IN ADVANCE.
THAT'S ROOM 204. YOU CAN TAKE THE STAIRS.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT QUICKER.
THANK YOU.
SAY, BABY, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED,
I COULD TURN YOU ON TO A WHOLE LOT OF FUN.
NO, THANKS.
WELL, YOU KNOW IT AIN'T MY BUSINESS,
BUT WHAT'S A FINE BLACK THING LIKE YOU DOIN' IN TOWN?
I'M JUST HERE TO BURY MY BROTHER, THAT'S ALL.
[Woman] OOH.
YEAH.
A FELLA JUST CHECKED IN BY THE NAME OF JOHNSON,
DUKE JOHNSON.
DID HE SAY ANYTHING?
NO, HE DIDN'T TALK TOO MUCH,
BUT HE SAID HE'S HERE FOR BEN'S FUNERAL.
I'M GLAD YOU CALLED, ARNETTA.
YOU TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH YOU. THAT'S WHAT I'M DOIN'.
GOODNIGHT. YEAH.
YOUR DINNER IS READY, CHIEF PATTERSON.
ALMIGHTY GOD IN HEAVEN ABOVE,
I THANK THEE FOR WHAT YOU'VE SET BEFORE ME. AND I GIVE...
[Minister] UNTO YOU, O LORD,
THE SOUL OF THIS GOOD MAN,
THIS HUMBLE MAN, BEN JOHNSON,
A MAN OF THE PEOPLE, ALL PEOPLE.
WHO ALWAYS HELD HIS HAND OUT TO HELP OTHERS,
WHO GAVE LIKE YOU AND ASKED NAUGHT IN RETURN.
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD. I SHALL NOT WANT.
HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES.
HE RESTORETH MY SOUL.
SO WE KNOW, ALMIGHTY GOD,
THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LOVE BEN AS WE HAVE LOVED HIM.
TO EMBRACE HIM,
TO TAKE HIM INTO YOUR KINGDOM THIS DAY.
AMEN.
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST.
[Duke] THOSE WERE GOO D WORDS, REVEREND.
THANK YOU.
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
I'M WALDO HARLEY.
MIGHT YOU BE A FRIEND OF OUR BELOVED BEN THERE?
YEAH. I'M DUKE JOHNSON.
DUKE?
THAT'S JUST WHAT I FIGURED.
ARETHA. ARETHA, YOU AND STEVIE SAY HELLO TO THE DUKE.
THAT'S BEN'S BROTHER.
YOU REALLY DUKE?
BEN TOLD US ALL ABOUT YOU.
SAYS YOU'RE THE SMARTEST ONE IN THE FAMILY.
YOU KNOW, HOW YOU BEEN ALL OVER THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING.
SO YOU'RE THE ONE.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW BEN?
5 YEARS AGO?
NO. IT WAS MORE LIKE 6.
SOME HOTSHOT BROTHER.
ARETHA, PLEASE.
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN HE NEEDED YOUR HELP?
WHAT KIND OF HELP?
THERE'S NOTHIN' YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT NOW
EXCEPT FOR TO FIND THE TIME TO COME AND BURY HIM,
AND COLLECT HIS STUFF AND SPLIT!
[Harley] ARETHA, NOW--
AREN'T YOU GONNA STAY?
NO, HE'S NOT GONNA STAY,
HE WOULDN'T DIRTY THAT SHOESHINE IN THIS COW PASTURE.
WOULD YOU, MR. DUKE JOHNSON?
ARETHA, PLEASE.
DON'T MIND HER, DUKE.
BEN WAS GOOD TO HER.
HIS DYIN' KIND OF PUT A PAIN OF GRIEF INTO HER.
DON'T MIND HER.
NO, I--
I CAN'T MIND A LADY THAT SPEAKS HER MIND.
RIGHT, DUKE.
DUKE, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
[Lawyer] AND ACCORDING TO THIS WILL, HE LEFT EVERYTHING TO YOU:
AN ESTATE CONSISTING MAINLY OF A LOT
AND FRAME HOUSE,
A HAND-TOOLED LEATHER WALLET CONTAINING $39.43
AND A SAVINGS ACCOUNT PASS BOOK
IN THE NAME OF BENJAMIN A. JOHNSON.
ALL OF BEN'S THING S BELONG TO ME NOW, RIGHT?
TO SELL, USE, ANYTHING I WANT, RIGHT?
IN ABOUT 60 DAYS.
60 DAYS? MAN, YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN'.
THAT'S THE STATE LAW. IT TAKES THAT LONG TO CLOSE AN ESTATE.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
STICK AROUND THIS RAT TRAP FOR 2 MONTHS?
OF COURSE, WE COULD RELAX THE RULES A BIT,
ALLOW YOU THE USE OF YOUR BROTHER'S PROPERTY.
HOW MUCH?
UH, LET'S SAY YOU SIGN FOR AN EMPTY HAND-TOOLED LEATHER WALLET.
YOU RUN A NICE BUSINESS AROUND HERE, DON'T YOU?
HI, DUKE.
WE'VE BEEN OVER THERE WAITIN' FOR YOU
AND TELLIN' STEVIE HERE ALL ABOUT IT.
YEAH, ABOUT WHAT?
OH, HOW YOU'RE GONNA STAY ON, OPEN THE CLUB AND EVERYTHING.
MAN, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM GOOD TIMES START ROLLIN' AGAIN.
PLACE WAS REALLY LIKE A HOME TO SOME OF US, YOU KNOW.
ESPECIALLY STEVIE HERE, 'CAUSE HE LIVES IN THE BACK.
YOUR BROTHER BEN MADE A RIGHT SMART LIVIN' FROM IT.
GONNA DO THE SAME THING FOR YOU, DUKE.
I FIGURE LIFE OWES ME MORE THAN JUST A LIVIN'.
ALL I WANT FROM THAT BAR IS FOR SOMEBODY TO BUY IT.
LOOK, I'M GONNA BE STUCK HERE 2 MONTHS,
YOU REALLY WANT TO HELP ME?
SURE, DUKE.
THEN YOU FIND ME A BUYER FOR THE CLUB ALABAM
SO I CAN GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
OKAY?
SURE, DUKE.
YOU TAKE CARE.
[Harley] MR. DUKE.
MR. DUKE, SIR.
IS IT ALL RIGHT IF WE WALK A PIECE WITH YOU?
WE THOUGHT YOU WERE COOL.
A WISE DUDE LIKE YOU.
SHOWS HOW WRONG YOU CAN BE.
STEVIE, YOU SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.
SOMETHIN' BOTHERIN' YOU TWO?
OH NO, DUKE. EVERYTHING IS "EXPUBIDENT,"
EXCEPT THAT, IT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE HARD
TO FIND A BUYER FOR THE CLUB WITH THAT CLOSED SIGN ON THE DOOR.
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS, BRO.
BUT IT DON'T HAVE TO BE.
REALLY, DUKE, IF THE JOINT WAS OPEN,
PEOPLE WOULD BE HAVIN' FUN AND PARTYIN' REAL GOOD AND CATCHIN' GOOD.
WHY, A SUCKER COME IN THEN AND WANT TO BUY THE JOINT,
HE KNOW HE GONNA HAVE TO GET DOWN WITH SOME HEAVY BREAD.
YOU COULD BE PLAYIN' SWEET MUSIC ON THE CASH REGISTER.
YOU GUYS ARE DREAMIN', MAN.
HEY DUKE, WHY DO YOU THINK THOSE TOURIST DUDES
COME OVER HERE FROM ACROSS THE RIVER?
IT'S 'CAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN SWING TILL BROAD DAYLIGHT.
SHH!
COULD GET 4 OR 5 TIMES WHAT YOU'RE ASKIN' IF THE CLUB WAS OPEN.
AND DON'T FORGET ALL THOSE ARMY RESERVERS OVER AT THE ARMORY.
ONE NIGHT A WEEK, AFTER MARCHIN' AND DRILLIN',
THEY'RE HOT AND THEY'RE THIRSTY,
AND WHERE DO THEY HEAD FOR?
THE CLUB ALABAM
FOR SOME "REEELAXATION."
[Laughs]
RELAXATION, HUH?
YOU KNOW SOMETHIN', LITTLE MAN?
YOU REMIND ME OF ME WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE.
TRYIN' TO BE SOMEBODY. ALWAYS JIVIN' AND HUSTLIN'.
I AIN'T HUSTLIN'.
I'M JUST TRYIN' TO GROW UP FAST IN A FAST TOWN.
[Harley] AND ME?
I AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT AN OLD FOOTBALL PLAYER, DUKE.
MAYBE DRINK TOO MUCH EVERY NOW AND THEN.
BUT IF YOU OPEN THAT CLUB,
IT SURE WOULD MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS SOMEBODY.
OPENIN' THE CLUB CAN'T HURT, CAN IT?
YOU SAID YOURSELF YOU'RE STUCK HERE,
SO, YOU AIN'T GOT NOTHIN' TO LOSE, DO YOU?
I AIN'T SOME DUMB BROAD. I GOT RIGHTS.
HONEY, WE TOLD YOU BEFORE,
DON'T RIP OFF THE MARKS. IT'S BAD FOR BUSINESS
IT AIN'T FAIR, YOU MAKING ME SPEND TIME IN THIS GODDAMN HOLE.
WE'VE GOT TO THINK OF BUCKTOWN'S REPUTATION, HONEY.
YOU KEEP CLIPPIN' THE TOURISTS,
AND PRETTY SOON NONE OF 'EM WILL BE COMIN' ACROSS THE RIVER NO MORE.
BUT THAT FREAKY BASTARD WANTED TO WEAR MY UNDERWEAR.
THIS PLACE GOT A CHIEF?
YOU GOT AN APPOINTMENT?
NO.
WHAT'S THE MATTER, BOY? SOMEBODY PICK YOUR POCKET?
[Chuckles]
I'M HERE ABOUT THE CLOSED SIGN ON THE CLUB ALABAM.
OH, YOU MUST BE BEN'S BROTHER.
EVERYBODY LIKED BEN.
HE WAS REAL PEOPLE, WASN'T HE, MERLE?
SURE WAS. "GOOD CITIZEN BEN."
WELL, THAT'S MIGHTY NICE OF YOU FELLAS TO SAY THAT.
NOW WHAT ABOUT THAT CLOSED SIGN?
NO PROBLEM.
ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS TAKE OUT A CITY LICENSE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
HOW MUCH IS THAT?
HOW MUCH WAS THAT, MERLE, FOR A CITY STICKER?
THAT WAS $400, WASN'T IT?
MORE LIKE $450, I THOUGHT.
DAMNED IF YOU'RE NOT RIGHT.
[Duane] I'LL MAKE SURE THEY GET YOUR MESSAGE.
DO THAT, DUANE. YOU JUST DO THAT.
YOU THE MAIN MAN?
YEAH.
HEY, NOW JUST A DAMN MINUTE.
YOU'RE THE ONE I WANNA TALK TO.
DUKE JOHNSON?
YEAH.
COME IN.
YOU'RE NOT MUCH FOR MANNERS, ARE YOU?
I GIVE WHAT I GET.
THIS WHAT YOU WANT?
HOWEVER, NOTHING IS FOR NOTHING.
I GUESS THOSE 2 CRACKERS OUT FRONT WERE SERIOUS, HUH?
SAM!
[Sam] YES, SIR.
WHAT'S THE CHARGE FOR A CITY STICKER?
450 GOOD OLD AMERICAN GREEN.
NOT ONE DROP IS POURED IN THIS TOWN UNLESS EACH BOTTLE HAS A CITY STICKER,
AND THE STICKER COMES FROM THIS OFFICE.
NOW, BEN'S RENEWAL FEE WAS DUE 2 DAYS AFTER HE DIED,
SO NOW IT'S OVERDUE.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT ISN'T PAID?
PLACE STAYS PADLOCKED.
AND IF I DECIDE TO SELL IT?
WHEN I SEE SOME DOLLARS ON THIS DESK,
YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE WITH THAT FLEA TRAP.
GOOD.
I LIKE DEALING WITH A REASONABLE MAN.
[Warren] I'D LIKE TO GET THAT UGLY BITCH RUTHIE ALONE.
I'D TEACH HER SOME MANNERS.
[Merle] RIGHT. SHE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS?
SHE ALWAYS DID THINK SHE WAS HOT SHIT!
SHE'S GOT A BUG UP YOUR ASS.
YOU GOT IT? I GOT IT.
GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!
IT'S GONNA BE 5 NEXT WEEK, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, BOY?
ALL RIGHT.
SHIT! COME ON, LOVERBOY, LET'S GO.
EVENING, WOODROW.
[Ding]
WHOO! HI, SWEETNESS.
CLEO, CLEO, HERE I COME!
[Knocking]
OH...
OH.
OOH.
GOD...
GODDAMN, CLEO, YOU ALWAYS WAS MY FAVORITE.
[Moaning]
HEY, HEY, HEY!
EVERYBODY HAVE A DRINK AND BE SOMEBODY!
SAY, BOY, PUT A QUARTER IN THE JUKEBOX.
AND MAKE GODDAMN SURE YOU PAY FOR THOSE DRINKS, Y'ALL.
I AM PLEASED TO MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT
THAT THE MAN HAS DONE HIS THING, AND IT'S GONNA HAPPEN
AS SOON AS HE GETS-- POO-PEROO-POM
LOOK OUT, GIRL! WHAT YOU DOIN'?
HARLEY, WHAT YOU RUNNIN' YOUR MOUTH ABOUT NOW?
I AM PLEASED TO MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT
THAT THE CLUB ALABAM IS NOW OPEN.
NO...
YEAH, IT IS.
SO HOW LONG IS HE GONNA STAY?
THAT AIN'T IMPORTANT.
HUH, THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.
HE ONLY DID IT SO HE COULD SELL IT FOR A BETTER PRICE.
NO, NO. HE LISTENED WHEN I TOLD HIM
HOW GOOD BUSINESS WAS GONNA BE AND EVERYTHING.
HA! JUST BAIT TO HOOK THE FISH THAT'S GONNA BUY IT.
WHY YOU GOT TO BE SO COLD?
EVERY TIME I MENTION DUKE'S NAME, YOU GOTTA PUT HIM DOWN.
BECAUSE HE'S JUST ANOTHER BIG-CITY, JIVE-ASS SPOOK, THAT'S WHY!
FORGET HIM!
THIS IS BEN'S BROTHER. HE DESERVES A BREAK.
HARLEY, LISTEN, I'VE MET 100 GUYS JUST LIKE HIM.
TAKERS, EVERY GODDAMN ONE OF THEM, AND I GOT THE SCARS TO PROVE IT!
SHH. YOU DON'T KNOW HIM.
THIS IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF MAN.
HARLEY, THERE AIN'T NO DIFFERENT KIND OF MAN!
HEY, SAM.
HEY, Y'ALL, CLETE, SAM.
HEY, I'M TELLIN' YOU,
THERE AIN'T NO ONE LIKE THAT CLEO OF MINE.
MAN, SHE HAS GOT A MOUTH SOFT AND SWEET AS AN OVERRIPE PLUM.
AND I'LL TELL YOU, THAT TONGUE, SWEET JESUS--
SHIT. IF YOU WEREN'T THE CHIEF'S COUSIN,
SHE WOULDN'T GIVE YOU A SMILE FOR FREE.
HA HA. AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH.
YOU GO TO HELL!
HEY, THE DUDE'S OPENED THE ALABAM.
YOU THINK IT'S TIME MR. JOHNSON JOINED THE CLUB?
YEAH. YOU GO ON WITH SAM. ME AND MERLE GOT SOME BUSINESS.
OH, COME ON, CLETE. LET ME GO WITH YOU. I ALWAYS MISS OUT ON ALL THE FUN.
UH-UH.
LEAVE THIS ONE TO THE MEN.
GET IN THE CAR, WARREN.
DAMN!
LET ME HAVE ONE OF THEM.
THAT TASTES LIKE THAT BEEN FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, CLETE?
[Shattering]
WELL, IF YOU, UH...
SMELL AND LOOK LIKE A PIG,
I GUESS YOU GOTTA ACT LIKE ONE, DON'T YOU?
ALL RIGHT, FELLAS, GET OUT.
YOU WANT ME TO TELL HIM, CLETE?
NO, I'LL TELL HIM, MERLE.
FACT IS, I'M GONNA TELL HIM REAL FRIENDLY.
I'M EVEN GONNA CALL HIM BY HIS FIRST NAME.
NIGGER, YOU WANT TO DO BUSINESS IN BUCKTOWN,
YOU GOTTA PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE.
WELL, YOU SEE, I'VE ALREADY PAID.
HEY, THAT WAS JUST TO TAKE DOWN THE SIGN.
HEY, HEY, HEY, EVERYBODY DO THEIR THING!
[Clete] EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT YOU COME UP WITH A $100.
COME SATURDAY, YOU DON'T GIVE ME MY SATURDAY MONEY,
I'M GONNA SLAP A SIGN ON THAT DOOR. THAT SIGN GONNA SAY,
"NIGGER, READ AND RUN. YOU CAN'T READ, RUN ANYWAY."
FIRST NIGGER TOUCH THAT SIGN, FIRST NIGGER TRY TO COME THROUGH THAT DOOR,
I'M GONNA KICK HIS HEAD TILL HIS EYES POOCH OUT LIKE AN EAGLE'S ASS IN A POWER DIVE.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT, BOY?
OH, YEAH, I UNDERSTAND.
IT'S THAT CHEAP, SMELLY, FUNKY CIGAR YOU'RE SMOKIN'
THAT'S MAKIN' YOU TALK SO FUNNY.
THIS BOY HAS A MOUTH.
ALLIGATOR MOUTH AND A HUMMINGBIRD ASS.
JUST LIKE HIS OLD BROTHER BEN.
HE SURE IS STUBBORN LIKE HIM.
YEAH, DON'T KICK THIS BOY IN THE HEAD, MERLE.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T HURT NIGGERS WHEN YOU KICK THEM IN THE HEAD.
ALL RIGHT, CLOWNS...
YOU'VE HAD YOUR LAUGHS.
NOW, EITHER GO OUT THE DOOR OR THROUGH IT. YOUR CHOICE.
STEP ASIDE, BOY. I'M CHECKIN' THAT CASH REGISTER.
THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY TO DO THAT, CRACKER, AIN'T WORTH IT.
WHY YOU PALEFACES ALWAYS TOGETHER? YOU FAGGOTS?
YOU LITTLE SHIT.
UGH!
AAH!
UGH!
[Crowd shouting]
AAH!
DUKE, LOOK OUT!
WATCH IT, DUKE!
UGH!
AAH!
OOH!
SUCKER!
YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
YOU TWO ARE A COUPLE OF REAL SWEETHEARTS.
WHAT KIND OF JIVE ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
WHY WASN'T I TOLD ABOUT WHAT'S COMING DOWN HERE?
DUKE, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
I DIDN'T SAY NOTHIN' BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE.
ARETHA HERE FIGURED YOU WERE GONNA GO ANYWAY
SO WHY SHOULD SHE SAY ANYTHING?
THAT'S ALL THAT WENT DOWN, MAN.
THE COPS STRONG-ARM THE WHOLE GODDAMN TOWN, DEALING IN PAYOFFS,
AND YOU DON'T TELL ME NOTHIN' ABOUT IT?
I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT, DUKE.
NO, YOU'RE NOT SORRY, HARLEY!
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT US TO DO?
WE HAVE TO LIVE HERE!
OK. YOU TWO CAN EAT THE CRAP THEY DISH OUT,
BUT NOT ME, BABY. NO WAY.
OH, NOW, WAIT A MINUTE, DUKE! DUKE!
OH, SHOOT, HARLEY!
AW, DAMN!
[Duane] HEY!
NOW, YOU GET THIS, AND YOU GET IT STRAIGHT.
I AIN'T PAYIN' OFF ANYBODY!
NOT YOUR FLUNKIES, NOT YOU, NOBODY!
NOW, SETTLE DOWN, MR. JOHNSON. SETTLE DOWN.
NOW, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
NOW, YOU CAN JUST CAN THE BULL.
$450 WAS MY FIRST AND LAST PAYMENT, CHUMP!
YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE THIS...
BUT WE RUN A PRETTY BUSY DEPARTMENT HERE.
PUBLIC SERVICE TAKES MONEY,
AND WE DON'T GET IT ALL FROM WRITING PARKING TICKETS, YOU KNOW.
WE'RE NOT A BIG TOWN LIKE WHERE YOU'RE FROM,
BUT WE HAVE PLENTY OF WORK TO KEEP US BUSY.
FOR EXAMPLE...
TAKE YOUR BROTHER'S CASE.
WE'RE NOT GIVING UP.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "YOU'RE NOT GIVING UP"?
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW.
SOME UNKNOWN ASSAILANT BEAT HIM AND LEFT HIM FOR DEAD.
I WAS TOLD HE DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES. PNEUMONIA.
TRUE.
DUE TO EXPOSURE AND LOSS OF BLOOD.
NATURALLY, WE DID WHAT WE COULD, BUT...
MR. JOHNSON...
YOU LOOK TO ME TO BE AN INTELLIGENT MAN.
YOU'VE BEEN AROUND. YOU KNOW THE ROPES.
AND YOU KNOW A SMART MAN ALWAYS AVOIDS TROUBLE,
TRIES TO GET ALONG.
DOESN'T HE, MR. JOHNSON?
IT'S A LITTLE WARM OUT TONIGHT, MAN.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT THIS.
COME ON IN.
YOU AND I HAVEN'T GONE OUT OF OUR WAY TO BE FRIENDS.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
FORGET IT.
HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU, SWEETHEART.
THIS AIN'T AN EASY TOWN TO LIVE IN, YOU KNOW.
YEAH? WHAT TOWN IS?
WELL, WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS...
IS I WAS WRONG.
EVERYBODY PAYS THE MAN IN THIS TOWN.
NOBODY TELLS ME.
HONKIES RUN THIS TOWN. NOBODY TELLS ME.
MY BROTHER BEN IS FOUND DEAD IN THE GUTTER.
NOBODY TELLS ME HOW OR WHY.
WELL, I'M NOT PROUD OF THE FACT THAT I DIDN'T SAY NOTHIN'.
HOW DO YOU TELL SOMEBODY THAT THEIR BROTHER WAS BEATEN UP
BY SOME GOONS AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
AND LEFT TO DIE IN THE FREEZING RAIN?
I WANTED TO TELL YOU, BUT--
BUT YOU GOTTA HUSTLE JUST FOR A LIVING, RIGHT?
AND YOU WANT TO PLAY IT SAFE.
PLAY IT SAFE? YOU DAMN RIGHT I PLAY IT SAFE.
I'M TIRED OF LEADING THE CHARGE.
YOU EVER HEARD OF PRIDE?
YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH LIFE BEING TRAMPLED, BABY, THAT'S YOUR BUSINESS.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SCUFFLIN'
AND HUSTLIN' AND BREAKIN' YOUR BACK FOR PEANUTS
AND TAKING IT ALL,
BUT STILL GOIN' ON LIVIN' AND HOPIN' AND DREAMIN'?
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?
YOU THINK YOU GOT A MONOPOLY ON HARD TIMES?
I MEAN, WHO PROMISED YOU A FREE RIDE?
YOU THINK YOU'RE REALLY SOMETHIN', DON'T YOU?
THE SUPER-SUCCESSFUL YOUNG BROTHER.
EVERYONE KOWTOWING TO YOU.
BEN TOLD US ALL ABOUT YOU TILL WE WERE SICK OF HEARIN' IT!
I MUST BE SOME KIND OF SIMPLE-HEADED FOOL
FOR COMIN' IN HERE AND TRYIN' TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU!
FOR MISJUDGIN' YOU, THINKIN' YOU WERE JUST SOME KIND OF BIG CITY DUDE
COMIN' DOWN HERE TO PARADE IN FRONT OF US SMALL TOWN FOLK.
NOW YOU THINK DIFFERENT, HUH?
WELL, I SAW DIFFERENT!
I SAW YOU STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS
AND SHOW THAT YOU WERE YOUR OWN MAN!
AND WHAT DO I GET FOR IT? JUST DUMPED ON!
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
MY BLESSING...
OR THE KEYS TO THE CITY?
YOU BASTARD!
[Shotgun cocks]
[Shotguns cock]
[Gunshot]
GET YOUR BLACK ASS OUT OF TOWN, NIGGER!
WA-HOO! GO GET 'EM, MERLE!
[Gunshots]
RIGHT ON.
HOLD IT, BOYS! HOLD IT!
[Chief] HEY, CLETE!
YO!
COME ON OVER HERE.
ALL RIGHT.
WE DON'T WANT HIM KILLED, DO WE?
WELL, WE MAY HAVE TO. HE'S STUBBORN LIKE HIS OLD BROTHER BEN.
BE EASY, WOULDN'T IT?
NOTHIN' TO IT.
HELL, WHAT'S ONE DEAD NIGGER MORE OR LESS.
THAT'S JUST THE POINT, BOYS.
AFTER BEN, PEOPLE MIGHT GET TOO CURIOUS.
ESPECIALLY UP IN THE CAPITAL, AND WE DON'T WANT THAT.
I JUST WANTED HIM TAUGHT A LITTLE LESSON.
WE'LL SEE HOW WELL HE'S LEARNED IT.
RIGHT, CHIEF.
GET OFF THE CAR.
YOU ALL RIGHT, BABY?
YEAH, BUT, DUKE, YOU GOTTA RUN.
THEY'RE GONNA KILL YOU.
I NEVER RAN FROM NOBODY, AND I DON'T INTEND TO START NOW.
BUT, DUKE, YOU CAN'T DO IT BY YOURSELF!
PLEASE, DUKE, YOU GOTTA RUN! PLEASE!
NO CHANCE, BABY.
[Telephone ringing]
HA HA HA!
RIGHT? HA HA HA!
HA HA HA.
EASE UP. EASE UP.
HA HA HA! EXCUSE ME. YEAH?
DUKE! DUKE!
AW, MAN, WHERE YOU BEEN?
LISTEN, MAN...
[Chuckles]
EVERYBODY'S BEEN SAYING, "WHERE'S DUKE?
"WHEN'S HE COMING HOME?" YEAH!
[Chuckles]
LISTEN, I GOT 2 OR 3 VERY SWEET PROPOSITIONS
WAITING FOR US WHEN YOU RETURN.
LIKE ALWAYS, HUH? LISTEN TO ONE OF THEM HERE.
[Laughs]
ROY, MAN, I DIDN'T CALL YOU UP TO JIVE WITH YOU, BROTHER.
WE GOT TO TALK SERIOUS BUSINESS, MAN.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WHAT'S THE MATTER, MAN?
DON'T YOU LAUGH ANYMORE?
LOOK, FOCUS IN ON DETROIT. REMEMBER?
YOU KIDDING? WE WERE OUTNUMBERED, WHAT, 3, 4 TO 1?
MAN, YOU WAS SOMETHING ELSE.
WELL, THE ODDS HERE ARE A LOT LONGER.
IT'S A JIVE TOWN WITH A BUNCH OF CRACKERS.
I NEED YOUR HELP.
YOU REALLY ARE SERIOUS.
EXCUSE ME.
WHEN?
YESTERDAY, BROTHER, YESTERDAY.
WELL, I OWE YOU ONE, BUDDY. I'M ON MY WAY.
ROY...
BRING MUSCLE.
I'M LOOKING AT A DEAD MAN.
[Train whistle]
BOY!
WHERE WOULD ONE FIND THE CLUB ALABAM?
IT'S RIGHT-- IT'S RIGHT DOWN THERE IN TOWN.
WHERE?
IT'S IN TOWN.
DO I TAKE A TAXI OR A STAGECOACH?
CAB'S BROKE DOWN.
FIGURES.
HEY, THAT'S MY HAT.
KIND OF SLOPPY THERE, BOY.
[Josh] I'VE SEEN BETTER LOOKING PLACES IN THE SLAMS.
[T.J] ROY, WHAT'S THIS CAT DUKE GOT ON YOU ANYHOW?
HEY, FRESH MEAT? WHAT YOU NEED?
GAMBLIN'? GIRLS?
BACK OFF, LITTLE KID.
YOU NAME IT!
POKER? PINOCHLE? POONTANG?
HALF-PINT, DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO HAUL YOUR ASS--
HEY, HEY, EASE UP, T.J. THE KID'S JUST TRYING TO MAKE HIS HUSTLE.
I STARTED LIKE THAT, TOO.
HEY, DUKE, I THINK YOU GOT SOME COMPANY.
ROY? HEY, ROY!
HA HA!
OH! HEY, MAN! HOW YOU DOIN'?
THANKS FOR COMING, MAN.
HEY, WHAT COULD I DO?
REMEMBER THE DUDE I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT?
THIS IS HIM. ROY.
HOW YOU DOIN', MR. ROY?
HARLEY.
OH, UH, THIS IS ARETHA. ROY.
ARETHA.
HI, ROY.
OH, EXCUSE ME, UM...
THIS IS JOSH, HAMBONE, T.J.
HOW YOU DOIN', FELLAS?
MAN, I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AT HOME.
ME AND THIS CAT, WE PRACTICALLY GREW UP TOGETHER.
MMM, WENT THROUGH SOME REAL, REAL SCENES.
FROM THE STREETS ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP.
YEAH, RIGHT ON. BUT GOOD TIMES, RIGHT?
GOOD TIMES. YEAH. COME ON. LET'S HAVE A DRINK.
RIGHT.
[Roy] MAN, YOU'RE REALLY A SIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TROUBLE YOU GOT,
BUT WE'RE HERE WITH THE CURE.
[Girls laughing]
HOW YOU LIKE THESE LITTLE CUTIE PIES?
MAN, ARE YOU CRAZY? GET RID OF THIS JAILBAIT.
SORRY, GIRLS. WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PARTY LATER.
WE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF SOME BUSINESS. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.
YEAH.
OKAY.
4 COPS AND THE CHIEF.
THAT'S 5.
WHAT ABOUT THE GUY WHO HIRED THEM?
HIS HONOR, THE MAYOR?
NO, YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HIM.
HE BROUGHT THE CHIEF IN TO CLEAN UP THE TOWN FOR THE TOURISTS.
[Duke] AFTERWARDS, HE, UH, SAW HE HAD A GOOD THING GOING
AND MOVED RIGHT IN.
SO HE'D BE THE HAPPIEST OF ANYBODY TO SEE HIM RUN OUT OF TOWN.
THEN WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM, DO WE?
REMEMBER THAT LITTLE SITUATION WE HAD A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO?
YOU WANT TO WORK IT THE SAME WAY?
WHY NOT, MAN? NO SENSE IN DRAGGING IT OUT.
BESIDES, I WANT TO SEE IF YOU'VE, UH...
SLOWED DOWN IN YOUR OLD AGE.
HUH. NO WAY.
[Chuckling]
HEY, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE OUT THERE NOW.
[Hambone] MAN, THIS CAT'S GONNA GO BLIND
SQUINTIN' UP AT ME WITH HIS BIG BLUE EYES.
DUKE, WHAT ABOUT THE BOSS OF THESE TIN SOLDIERS?
WELL, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, MAN,
HE'S ALL SPIT-AND-POLISH.
STILL THINKS WORLD WAR II IS GOING ON,
BUT I WOULDN'T PLAY HIM TOO CHEAP, MAN.
HE DIDN'T GET THIS FAR BEING DUMB.
WANT TO CHILL HIM FIRST?
NO, WE'LL HOOK THAT UP AFTER WE GET THE LOCATIONS.
YOU SICK ANIMAL!
[Laughing]
WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH HER?
[Police radio]
THEY HAVEN'T BUDGED FOR 4 HOURS.
NOBODY STAYS IN THAT HOTEL THAT LONG.
WHERE'S DUANE?
HE'S OVER THERE.
THEY'RE TROUBLE, BRIAN. THEY DON'T LOOK RIGHT.
YOU WORRY TOO MUCH, SAM.
NO COON LOOKS GOOD TO A DECENT MAN.
JUST REMEMBER, WE'RE THE LAW.
GOD IS ON OUR SIDE.
YES, SIR.
SEE YOU LATER, SAM.
[Duke] GETS OFF WORK AFTER MIDNIGHT.
USUALLY MAKES A BEELINE STRAIGHT FOR THIS PLACE.
THAT'S HIS OLD LADY DANCING UP THERE.
HE USUALLY TAKES HER HOME ABOUT 2:00.
THAT'D BE A GOOD TIME TO NAIL HIS ASS...
IN THE SACK.
HA HA!
MAN, YOU GOT A MEAN STREAK IN YOU, BROTHER.
TO THE BONE.
LIKE, YOU BABIES WANT A LITTLE ACTION?
WE GOT EAC H OTHER, MAMA.
HA HA HA HA.
UH, AHEM. EXCUSE ME, SIR.
MY NAME IS ROY WILLIAMS. THIS IS DUKE JOHNSON.
I'M SURE YOU KNOW HIM. HE'S A FRIEND OF MINE.
WE WERE JUST TAKING A STROLL DOWN THE STREET HERE.
WE WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE IT IF YOU WOULD JOIN US, HUH?
OH--OH, YEAH...

THE BADGES FROM YOUR USED-TO-BE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
WE DO THANK YOU.
IF ONLY THERE WAS SOME WAY TO THANK YOU,

WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND

DUKE. DUKE, WAKE UP.
GET YOUR BUNS UP.
DUKE!
WHAT?
GET UP!
COME ON, ALL RIGHT, COME ON.
ANY TIME'S THE RIGHT TIME. COME ON.
DUKE, I DIDN'T COME HERE TO GET IN YOUR BED,

IT'S TOO EARLY. ROY DON'T LEAVE TILL 12:00.
BUT, DUKE, THAT'S WHAT I CAME HERE TO TELL YOU.
THE TRAIN'S LEAVIN', BUT ROY AIN'T.
DUKE.
ROY? WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
THEY'RE ALL STAYIN' HERE.
NOW, WHAT THEY GONNA DO IN THIS HICK TOWN?
THEY'RE GONNA WEAR BADGES IN THIS HICK TOWN.
BADGES?
ROY CONNED THE MAYOR.
NOW HE'S WEARING THE CHIEF'S BADGE.
JOSH, T.J., AND HAMBONE ARE POLICEMEN.
HA HA HA HA.
I'LL BE DAMNED. ALL 4 OF THEM, HUH?
YEAH.
AND ALL OF THEM WITH A RAP SHEET A YARD LONG.
THAT OLD ROY IS REALLY UP TO SOMETHING.
WELL, THAT'S NOT HARD TO FIGURE OUT.
YOU WANT MY OPINION?
NO.
WELL, YOU'RE GONNA GET IT ANYWAY, DUMMY.
YOUR BUDDY SAW WHAT A GOOD THING THE CHIEF HAD GOIN' FOR HIM,
AND NOW HE WANTS IT FOR HIMSELF.
NO. THEY'RE BROTHERS.
THE CHIEF AND HIS BOYS, THEY WERE--
HONKIES.
WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING
ABOUT PEOPLE, BIG SHOT.
WHETHER THEY'RE WHITE, BLACK, GREEN, YELLOW OR PURPLE,
WHEN THEY SMELL A FEW DOLLARS, THEY ALL ACT ALIKE.
OH?
MM-HMM.
GET UP.
I WON'T TELL YOU ANYTHING.
BUCKTOWN'S PURE GOLD, CHIEF,
AND YOU'VE BEEN SQUEEZIN' AND MILKIN' IT DRY.
SO COME ON.
FOR THE LAST TIME, WHERE'S THE DOUGH?
PAYIN' OFF STREET SCUM WAS EASY.
GIVIN' IN TO 'EM...
IMPOSSIBLE.
A MAN WHO WON'T TALK
DOESN'T NEED HIS TONGUE.
HAMBONE?
HEY, PARTNER. HA HA HA.
WELCOME TO THE PROMISED LAND, HUH?
HEY, BABY, WHY DON'T YOU GO AND, UM...
PUT SOMETHING ON A LITTLE SWEETER, HUH?
FOR MY MAN.
SURE, HONEY.
MMM.
WHAT IS IT, UH, WE'RE GONNA BE PARTNERS IN, BUDDY?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA LEAVE TOWN, MAN. WHAT HAPPENED?
CONSIDERABLE. CONSIDERABLE.
MAN, LISTEN, WHEN I GOT THE TELEPHONE CALL BACK IN PHILLY
THAT MY PARTNER NEEDED SOME HELP...
HA HA. HOW WAS I TO KNOW
THAT HE WAS GONNA CUT ME IN ON A SOFT TOUCH
THAT I HAD BEEN WAITIN' FOR ALL MY LIFE.
A TOUCH?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT, MAN?
I JUST CALLED YOU TO THIS TOWN
TO HELP ME GET RID OF SOME JIVE CRACKERS, THAT'S ALL.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
SO YOU KNOW WHAT THE GOOD BOOK SAYS.
"THE LORD HELPS THEM THAT HELPS THEMSELVES."
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOIN', MAN. WE'RE HELPIN' OURSELVES.
WE OWN THIS TOWN.
AND THANKS TO HIS HONOR,
WE EVEN GOT THE BADGES HERE TO PROVE IT. HUH?
HERE'S YOURS.
NO, MAN.
THAT'S NOT MY WAY, ROY.
WHAT'S THE MATTER, MAN? HUH?
YOU DON'T LIKE MONEY?
OR ARE YOU BEGINNIN' TO FALL FOR THIS SMALL TOWN JIVE?
HERE WE GOT A POT OF GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW,
AND MY HOMEBOY'S GOIN' SOFT ON ME.
OH, COME ON, ROY, YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
HOW DO I KNOW? HOW DO I KNOW?
YOU DON'T EVEN ACT LIKE THE CAT I GREW UP WITH.
[Sighs]
MAN, IT'S JUST THAT...
THIS IS MY BROTHER'S TOWN, MAN.
HIS FRIENDS.
I MEAN, I WOULDN'T FEEL RIGHT LEANIN' ON HIS PEOPLE, MAN.
OH, YEAH?
OKAY, IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT IT,
THAT'S THE WAY IT'LL BE.
NOW, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
I WON'T LEAN ON THEM TOO HARD.
JUST ENOUG H TO PAY THE RENT.
YEAH! HA HA HA!
LIKE ROBIN HOOD!
ROB FROM THE RICH. GIVE TO THE POOR.
ME. BUT YOU...
YOU JUST KEEP RUNNIN' THAT LITTLE CLUB OF YOURS DOWN THERE, SEE?
AND WE'LL TAKE YOUR SHARE OF THE MONEY
AND PUT IT IN THE SAFE DOWN AT CITY HALL.
AND WHEN YOU DECIDE YOU WANT IT,
IT'LL BE THERE WAITIN' FOR YOU.
YOU'RE SERIOUS, AIN'T YOU?
I'M SERIOUS AS A HEART ATTACK.
[Laughing] OH, MAN,
I AIN'T GONNA BE NO MORE TROUBLE THAN THE TAX COLLECTOR.
COME ON, BROTHER! SHIT, WE SUPPOSED TO BE FRIENDS, MAN.
I COME ALL THIS WAY TO HELP YOU OUT.
COME ON, HEY.
A TOAST, HUH?
HA HA HA HA.
TO BEAUTIFUL...
BUCKTOWN.
YOU'RE SHORT. $300 SHORT.
LAST NIGHT WAS LOUSY.
YOU KNOW WHAT ROY SAID.
HOW THE HELL CAN I COME UP WITH AN EXTRA 50 PERCENT
WHEN THE GIRLS DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT?
JUST OPEN YOUR PIGGY BANK, BABY.
NOW, EVERYBODY'S GOTTA COME UP WITH THE NEW DUES
OR YOU'RE DEAD.
MAN, THIS TOWN IS SOMETHING ELSE.
LIKE EVERY NIGHT IS BANK NIGHT, YOU KNOW?
THE TOWN CLIPPIN' THE TOURISTS AND US CLIPPIN' THE TOWN.
THERE'S JUST ONE THING WRONG. ROY'S FRIEND.
AH, YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT DUKE?
YEAH. HE'S GOT A BIG HAND IN THE MONEY,
AND HE DOESN'T DO A DAMN THING TO HELP US EARN IT.
NOTHING WE CAN DO, 'CAUSE THAT'S THE WAY ROY WANTS IT.
WELL, MAYBE THERE IS.
I MEAN, THEY'RE GOOD BUDDIES, RIGHT?
MM-HMM.
WHAT SAY THEY WEREN'T SUCH GOOD BUDDIES?
THEN WE COULD STEP IN AND DO SOMETHING.
LISTEN, T.J., NO 2 DUDES EVER BEEN CLOSER.
SO HOW COULD WE CHANGE ANYTHING?
MAN, I ALREADY GOT SOMETHIN' GOIN'.
[Laughs]
JOSH IS WORKIN' IT RIGHT NOW.
I SAY YOU AND I GOTTA GIVE HIM A HAND.
THEN I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO CHANGE THINGS, ALL RIGHT?
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA TRY TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOUR "SATISFACATION."
NOW, THE QUARTERBACK COME UP TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
YOU SEE, THEY'RE ALL COVERIN' ON THE RIGHT,
SO HE CALLED A COVERIN' COLOR, WHICH IS GREEN.
SIGNALS 3, 45,
AND NUMBER 4 WAS THE RIGHT HALFBACK
COMIN' OVER THE RIGHT HOLE.
AND NUMBER 5 WAS MINE,
'CAUSE I'M THE ONLY ONE
SOMEBODY CAN TAKE OUT 2 MENS.
HARLEY HERE KEEPS TELLING ME HE THREW THAT KEY BLOCK
IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
EXPECTS ME TO BELIEVE HIM.
BIG LYIN' NUISANCE.
BIG PHONY.

[Siren]
IF BUSINESS GETS ANY BETTER,
WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER SAFE.
LISTEN, ADD THIS UP RIGHT HERE.
NOW, ROY.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITIN' FOR?
FOR YOU TO TELL ME WHY YOU SENT YOUR GOONS TO BEAT UP ON HARLEY.
WHY WOULD I DO A THING LIKE THAT?
LISTEN. HARLEY IS IN THE HOSPITAL, MAN,
AND IF HE DON'T MAKE IT--
OH, COME ON, MAN, COOL IT.
YOU'RE MAKIN' A LOT TO DO OUT OF NOTHIN'.
THE WAY I GET IT, HARLEY WAS GETTIN' DRUNK IN THE BAR.
RIGHT? HE WAS CAUSIN' A DISTURBANCE.
THERE WAS A COMPLAINT.
LOOK, WHAT ARE MY MEN WEARING THOSE BADGES FOR
EXCEPT TO KEEP THE PEACE?
OH, COME ON, ROY. YOU KNOW THAT'S B.S.
YOU CALLIN' ME A LIAR?
NO, MAN, I'M NOT CALLING YOU A LIAR.
I'M JUST TRYIN' TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH.
SO AM I.
WHAT'S WRONG, DUKE? I MEAN, WHAT'S HAPPENING?
I MEAN, AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, MAN,
WHY WOULD I WANNA LAY OUR FRIENDSHIP ON THE LINE BEHIND SOME BULLSHIT?
I'M NOT COMING DOWN ON YOU, ROY.
I JUST WANT YOU TO CONTROL YOUR CLOWNS, THAT'S ALL,
BECAUSE IF THEY PUSH MY PEOPLE AROUND AGAIN
THEY GONNA HAVE TO TANGLE WITH ME.
THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING, MAN.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT. WHAT DID HAPPEN TO HARLEY?
HEY, MAN, LIKE I TOLD YOU.
THE BIG MAN CAN'T HANDLE HIS SAUCE.
WE WENT IN TO MAKE AN ARREST, AND HE BEGAN THROWING HIS WEIGHT AROUND.
SO IT TOOK 3 OF US TO GET HIM OUT.
THAT'S ALL?
WOULD I LIE TO YOU?
[Loudspeaker] DR. EDWARD COLL,
PLEASE CALL YOUR ANSWERING SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
OH, HARLEY.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WHAT HAPPENED?
I KNOW YOU DIDN'T START THAT FIGHT LIKE THEY SAID YOU DID.
I DON'T RIGHTLY REMEMBER, ARETHA.
I DO KNOW WE...
WE WAS ALL IN THE BAR THERE, DRINKIN'.
I WAS TELLIN' 'EM HOW...
I WAS THE STAR
OF THAT GAME.
AND THEY SAID I WAS A LIAR.
YOU KNOW SOMETHIN'?
THEY SAY...
IT TOOK 45 STITCHES TO SEW--SEW ME UP.
THAT'S SOME KIND OF RECORD, AIN'T IT?
YEAH, HARLEY, THAT'S SOME KIND OF RECORD.
I'M SORRY, ARETHA.
I FEEL LIKE A STOMPED DOWN FOOL.
OH, HARLEY.

[Mayor] LOOKS LIKE YOUR FRIEND ROY IS BUILDING UP AN ARMY.
POOR OLD BUCKTOWN.
THINGS WERE BAD ENOUGH UNDER THE OLD CHIEF,
BUT NOW...
THEY'RE 10 TIMES WORSE.
THERE'S NO WAY THAT WE CAN FIGHT 'EM.
NO WAY. NO WAY.
CAN I BUY YOU A DRINK, LADY?
SUIT YOURSELF.
2 OF THE SAME.
WHERE'S YOUR MAN?
NOT HERE.
HE'S AT THE HOSPITAL LOOKIN' IN ON HARLEY.
HOW IS HARLEY?
HE'S MAKIN' IT. NO THANKS TO YOU.
THANK YOU.
MAYBE YOU COULD DO YOURSELF AND YOUR MAN
A BIG FAVOR, IF YOU, UH, WOULD.
LIKE HOW?
GET HIM TO LEAVE TOWN NOW.
HUH. WHY SHOULD HE LEAVE TOWN?
WELL, THERE ARE A LOT OF BIG REASONS
DOWN IN THAT VAULT AT CITY HALL.
HIS CUT OF THE PIE.

ON HIS SHARE OF THE MONEY, HUH?
FINE DIAMONDS. JEWELRY.
HIGH LIVING.
SUPPOSE I WANT TO STAY.
WELL, YOU GOT A PRETTY NICE CHOICE ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT.
IF YOU GO, YOU GOT DUKE AND ALL THAT HEAVY BREAD.
AND IF YOU DECIDE TO STAY ON HERE IN BUCKTOWN,
I'D BE WILLING TO, UH, MAKE YOU A VERY SWEET PROPOSITION.
I MEAN, SERIOUSLY.
WHAT IF WE BOTH DECIDE TO STAY?
ME AND DUKE?
I DON'T THINK THAT'D BE TOO PLEASANT.

OH, THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE.
WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE?
ROY'S 3 HOODS CAME IN HERE,
AND THEY TRIED TO BURN THE PLACE DOWN.
HARLEY TRIED TO STOP THEM AND THEY DRAGGED HIM OUT.
DRAGGED HIM WHERE?
TO JAIL!
YOU GOTTA TALK TO ROY. MAKE HIM LET HARLEY GO.
ROY'S YOUR FRIEND.
NO, HE'S GONE TOO FAR NOW.
IT'S TOO LATE TO TALK.
NO, YOU CAN'T FIGHT THEM ALONE.
THERE'LL BE 5 OR 6 OF THEM AT THE JAIL.
I'VE GOT A PLAN THAT SHOULD EVEN UP THE ODDS A LITTLE BIT.
BUT, DUKE, WHAT GOOD IS IT GONNA DO HARLEY GETTING YOURSELF KILLED?
DUKE!
STEVIE, YOU KNOW THAT ARMORY YOU WAS TELLIN' ME ABOUT ACROSS THE RIVER?
YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS?
YEAH, I CAN FIND IT.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
ROY, I WANNA TALK TO YOU.
PLEASE, ROY, IT'S IMPORTANT.
GO AHEAD. I'M LISTENING.
I'M ASKIN' YOU TO LET HARLEY GO.
IT WASN'T HIS FAULT.
HE JUST GO T A LITTLE CRAZY
WHEN YOUR BOYS CAME IN THE BAR
AND TRIED TO BURN IT DOWN.
WELL, MAYBE YOU OUGHTA BLAME DUKE FOR THAT, NOT ME.
WELL, DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON HARLEY
BECAUSE OF YOUR FEELINGS FOR DUKE.
WELL, SINCE YOU'RE POINTIN' FINGERS FOR WHAT HAPPENED, WOMAN,
IT WASN'T MY CHOICE. IT WAS HIS.
I MEAN, DUKE'S GOT HIS HEAD IN A WEIRD KIND OF PLACE.
NO, NO. HE DOES NO T WANNA GO AGAINST YOU.
HE SAYS YOU'RE HIS FRIEND.
BUT, WE'VE BEEN TIGHT.
BUT THAT COMES WITH RESPECT,
AND RESPECT COMES FROM KNOWIN' HOW IT IS IN THE STREETS,
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET BY AND DOIN' IT
AND DOIN' IT WELL, DAMN WELL.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!
IT'S JUST YOUR DAMN EGO!
EGO?
NO.
IT'S HOW YOU SURVIVE.
WELL, I WANT DUKE TO SURVIVE.
I WANNA LOVE THAT MAN. I DON'T WANNA BURY HIM.
YOU JUST DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ANYBODY, DO YOU?
YOU LISTEN, ARETHA.
YOU SHOW ME ANYBODY WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE,
AND I'LL SHOW YOU A FOOL, A DAMN FOOL,
WHO'LL GO THROUGH LIFE WITH THEIR HANDS OUT BEGGIN'
INSTEAD OF GRABBIN'.
DO YOU THINK ANYBODY HERE IN THIS TOWN IS ANY DIFFERENT?
THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHO GETS KILLED,
JUST SO LONG AS THE DICE KEEP ROLLIN',
THE 'HOS KEEP 'HOIN', AND THE MONEY KEEPS FLOWIN'.
IT ALL REVOLVES AROUND THE BIG "G," BABY. THE BIG GREEN.
EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE IS SCRATCHIN' FOR WHAT THEY CAN GET.
I'M JUST SCRATCHIN' A LITTLE HARDER.
YOU POOR, SELFISH, IGNORANT MAN.
HAVEN'T YOU EVER HAD THE GUTS TO LOVE SOMEBODY ELSE?
MAYBE.
MAYBE I NEVER HAD A WOMAN LIKE YOU TO FIGHT FOR ME.
MAYBE I EVEN ENVY DUKE FOR THAT.
I'LL BE SEEIN' YA.
ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?
OH, MAN, THAT MONSTER COULD OPEN UP THE GATES OF HELL.
WELL, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WHERE'S T.J.?
T.J., I WANNA TALK TO YOU.
WELL, UM, I HAVEN'T BEEN TOO FRIENDLY WITH YOU,
AND I--I THOUGHT I'D COME BY AND APOLOGIZE.
IS THAT RIGHT?
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
AND I-- I NEED A FAVOR.
WELL, THEY COST.
WELL, YOU DO ME THIS ONE LITTLE OLD FAVOR,
AND I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT...
AND SOME.
LIKE WHAT?
HARLEY. HE'S JUST AN OLD DRUNK THAT I FEEL SORRY FOR.
HE'S NO GOOD TO ANYBODY.
LET HIM GO.
ALL RIGHT.
HAVE IT YOUR WAY. AFTER, UH...
NU-HUH. BEFORE.

AND IT'LL BE GOOD BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
ALL THE WAY.
OKAY. WE'LL DO IT YOUR WAY.

DUMB BROAD. YOU COME HERE TRYIN' TO DEAL.
I DON'T MAKE NO DEALS. I TAKE WHAT I WANT.

WHERE'S THE AMMO?
IN THE CHARIOT.
HAMBONE!
[Gunshots]
YOU TWO STAY BACK.
DID YOU GET 'EM ALL?
ALL EXCEPT ONE.
I ALWAYS KNEW MY BUDDY WAS A...REAL MAN.
IF ANYBODY HAD TOLD ME, ROY,
THAT WE WOULD BE ON OPPOSITE SIDES,
FIGHTING EACH OTHER...
YOU MIGHT NOT BELIEVE THIS...
BUT I NEVER LIED TO YOU.
I NEVER SENT ANYONE TO HASSLE HARLEY OR ARETHA.
HOW DID IT HAPPEN, THEN, ROY?
T.J.
HE WANTED US TO TANGLE.
LOOKS LIKE HE DID A GOOD JOB, DIDN'T HE?
IT'S DOWN TO ME AND YOU NOW, RIGHT?
I DON'T WANNA SHOOT YOU, ROY.
I JUST WANNA BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU.
IT'S YOUR DEAL.
WINNER TAKE ALL.
