Ralph Hub, I don't see why you have to drive, it's my car!
Ralph We find that kid he's gonna get a piece of my mind.
[Hub pulls in at a closed gas station; Ralph goes to open his door]
Lawyer! Stay in the car!
[hesitant]
No, not me. You-
Hub. Get out of the car. [Garth and Hub go over and sit beside Walter] Planning your next move? Where you goin'?
Walter Here. Area code 406, Montana.
How come you're not headin' to Fort Worth, where your mum is?
Walter She's not there. She lied. Again.
Listen, kid, we know you got your heart set on goin' to Montana, but... it's late. Hub, help me out here.
Why? Sounds like his mind's made up. Good luck in Montana, kid.
[Garth gives him a look and points to Walter's map]
We got better maps than that one at the house, right Hub?
Yeah, man needs a good map, that's for sure.
Walter I've been to the orphan home before. I don't wanna go back.
Damn it, kid. It ain't our fault you got a lousy damn mother. [Garth gives him another look]
Walter I guess I should get going. Which way is North?
[Hub points but Garth pushes his hand down; Ralph irritably sounds his car's horn.]
I'll say one thing for this kid, he sure pisses off the relatives!
Listen, kid, do us a favor. If you come back to the house and stay awhile... Why, our relatives are going to hate it. I bet they hate it so much, they go away and leave us all the hell alone.
It's crazy enough, it just might work.
Come on, kid. Help us out here.
S Salesman
[A traveling salesman arrives, but unlike the others immediately takes cover behind his car, waving a white flag.]
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
He's been here before! This is no ordinary salesman.
S Salesman
Brothers McCann?
Hell, I like me a challenge.
Come out where we can see you!
S Salesman
Put down your guns and I'll come out!
[Grins]
This guy is good.
I'll cover him- you sneak around. [Walter tugs at his arm] What're you-what? What?
Walter Why not see what he's sellin'?
S Salesman
Let me just show it to you!
S Salesman
It's right behind my car!
Walter Well, what's the good of having all that money if you're never gonna spend it?
Could be the kid has a point.
Well. We'll see what the man's sellin'. Then we'll shoot 'im.
Walter So can I keep him? I'll look after him and take care of him and feed him and everything! I never had a pet of my very own before.
So kid, you want to take care of it, nurse it back to health?
[Walter nods eagerly.]
Good. Then we shoot it.
[Hub and Garth walk away.]
That's some lion you bought.
That's some garden seeds you bought.
Walter [Walter begins to close the crate, looks at lion.]
Don't worry, they're not as bad as they seem right at first.
