A Night in Old Mexico

[first lines]

Ramond:
[from his car] Hey, J.T., how you doin', man. Everything go okay?

J.T.:
[standing in the road, shows what's in his grocery bag]

Ramond:
Bring it here.

J.T.:
Let me see some money first.

Ramond:
Look man, here's the money. [holds up bag and c*cks his gun] Now bring that stuff over here.

Gally:
So, where exactly are we going?

Red:
About 200 miles this-a way. Down to old Mexico.

Gally:
Mexico? No, I can't go to Mexico.

Red:
Why not, you got tickets to the opry or something?

Red:
Better to be an old man's darling than a young man's slave. You ever heard that?

Patty Wafers:
[laughs]

Gally:
Yeah, you know what else they said? The older they get, the better they were when they were young.

Red:
I'm old, see.I'm broke and I'm alone. And I'm more 'scared of dying with somebody spoon feeding me oatmeal, than anything else in the world.

Patty Wafers:
I'm glad I'm here with you. [kneeling] Were you really going to take me back to Texas with you? Or were you just shitting me?

Red:
Hell yeah I was gonna take you back to Texas with me, of course. Not that I got a pot to piss in, or a window to throw it out of. [chuckles]

Patty Wafers:
It's okay. Come home with me then.

Gally:
I'm glad for both of you. Really, I'm glad.

Patty Wafers:
Come with us.

Red:
Yeah, come on. It's still a wild and woolly country down here. You just might like it.

Gally:
No, I uh, I think I've had enough wild and woolly for a while.

Red:
Hey, look at that damn hat, will ya. You know, you can tell a lot about a man by the hat he's wearin'. Read his whole history, as a matter of fact. Every day, everything he's been through, everything he's made of. By God, it's all written right there in his hat, chapter and verse. Right? Yeah. And I'll tell you something else. [chokes up] I found me a grandson. Yeah.

Red:
[to Gally] You got your head so far up your ass, you ain't never gonna smell the roses.
