Convict Just stay down, Luke. He's just gonna knock ya down again, buddy...It's not your fault. He's just too big...Let him hit you in the nose and get some blood flowing. Maybe the bosses will stop it before he kills you.
Luke I don't want to frighten him.
Dragline Stay down. You're beat.
Luke You're gonna have to kill me... [struggles back to his feet]
Dragline Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
