HI: Oh, for Christ's sakes.
:53:05
EVELLE: That's somebody
who's thinking big.
:53:08
GALE: Here you are
sitting on your butt...
:53:10
playing house with a--
:53:12
don't get me wrong--
with a fine woman...
:53:14
but a woman
who needs a button-down type.
:53:18
I don't particularly think
that's any of your--
:53:20
GALE: Hold on, H.I.
Now looky there.
:53:24
EVELLE:
That's a picture of El Dorado.
:53:25
GALE: The locals call it...
:53:27
the Farmers & Mechanics Bank
of La Grange.
:53:29
Looks like a hayseed bank.
:53:31
To tell you the truth,
it is a hayseed bank...
:53:33
except the last Friday
of every financial quarter...
:53:35
there's more cash in that bank
than flies at a barbecue.
:53:38
EVELLE:
Guess what day it is tomorrow?
:53:40
GALE:
When all the hayseeds come in...
:53:42
and cash
their farm subsidies checks.
:53:45
A-1 information.
:53:47
Got it in the joint
from Lawrence Spivy...
:53:50
one of Dick Nixon's
Undersecretary of Agriculture.
:53:52
He's in for soliciting sex
from a state trooper.
:53:54
Ordinarily we don't
associate with that type...
:53:57
but he was trying to make
a few brownie points.
:54:01
HI: Boys, I can't.
:54:03
EVELLE: We need someone handy
with a scatter-gun...
:54:06
to cover them hayseeds
while we get that cash.
:54:09
GALE: You understand, H.I.?
:54:10
If this works out,
it's just the beginning...
:54:13
of a spree to cover
the entire Southwest.
:54:16
And we keep going
until we can retire...
:54:19
or we get caught.
:54:21
Either way,
we're fixed for life.
:54:29
Boys, this is a kind offer,
but...
:54:32
if you're suggesting
I just up and leave Ed...
:54:36
that would be pretty damn
cowardly, wouldn't it?
:54:39
Would it?
Think about it, H.I.
:54:44
Seems to me, sitting here,
you ain't doing her any good...
:54:48
and you ain't bein' true
to your own nature.
