All the Way Boys (1972) Movie Script
by kaleletoren (2024)
Is it still hot?
Yeah.
And it's heavy, too.
When you see Sugarloaf Mountain, dump the rest of the fuel.
There's a takeoff every minute this time of day.
They'll get out of the way.
Oh, sure.
Here's your reading, 643.
Good visibility.
Wind calm.
Ready for takeoff.
Captain Emilio de la Rosa.
Runway 2-5 is clear. Roger. 6-4-3, ready for takeoff.
Go ahead, 6-4-3.
See you when we get back.
Good God! What's he doing?
Hey, look what's coming right at us.
They'll get out of the way.
They're gonna have to.
Hijos de puta!
Whoa!
Attention firefighters, firefighters, emergency, please leave the runway immediately.
Oh, Yankee Zulu, do you read me? Do you read me?
Now what does he want?
He wants us to follow him.
Tell him we don't have any brakes.
I think he found out.
Open the hangar.
Viva! Viva! Bravo! Bianchi! Zulu!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Viva! Viva! Bravo! Bianchi! Zulu!
Hurry up! Hurry up! Let's go!
I think I'll walk next time.
Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done...
It's always nice to come home, eh?
Attention!
The commander of the aircraft Lima Lima Bravo Yankee Sulu
present himself immediately to the command of the airport.
Sounds mad, don't it?
Flight captain Lima Lima Bravo Yankee Sulu
report immediately to the airport security control office.
Hey!
Hotel del Sol.
Would you put it in the front row? I'll only be gone half an hour.
Hey!
Thank you.
You know, the lady's right. You do look like a parking attendant.
Hop in.
Flyin' through the air,
Mad love, you and me,
We are for days,
You and me,
But there's a wish that will heal,
Right along here with me,
You and me.
Blue sky,
Leavin' all,
Hey, officer.
We found it about a hundred miles from here.
You take care of it, huh?
Thanks.
Yeah.
Ah! Uncle Salud!
How's Miss Monkey?
She's fine.
And what about your sister?
She's in school. They'll be here soon.
How are things going?
As usual, but everything else is fine.
Clarita, the medicine.
Another attack?
Uh-huh.
If you weren't the born liar you are, you'd admit you never expected that wreck to get
here.
Now, you hired us to do a job.
We held up our end, so stop croaking and hold up yours.
What did he say?
He said you owe us 250 each.
Pay up, Papa. Come on.
Yeah, Norton, pay up.
You too now.
There's no respect anymore.
It doesn't cost anything to write a check.
Oh, no.
You will take a check?
Yeah?
All right.
Fine, Norton.
I want cash, and if you don't fork it over...
Ah, Ingrid!
Ingrid!
Hey!
Well?
Do what you want.
Here we are.
And you?
Is she one of your daughters, too?
Tolita.
Yeah.
Tolita.
250 each.
It better be good.
It better be good.
Here.
Hey, wait!
May I help you?
May I help you?
Yeah, certainly.
Hey, salute here.
He's here.
Hey, Whitney.
That was a good shot.
Hi, Fletler.
Do it! Do it!
Hey.
Get him!
Yes, Doc.
No, Doc.
What are you going to do with him?
Oh, him?
Really nice shot.
How about a little game, huh?
Why not?
I'm playing too.
But you said you had a headache.
Nope, never felt better in my life.
Oh, he's a pushover.
100 a game?
A shot.
100 a shot.
I still think you've got a headache.
Yeah?
It's too bad, I don't.
Look out.
How's your head feeling?
Huh?
Just dead.
You see that?
But didn't we say that it had to be a three-rail shot?
Well, what do you think that was?
Only two.
Oh.
Did you hear the latest about Nozzin?
What?
That check he gave us wasn't covered.
Then how did you cash it?
I lent it to him.
That cheapskate.
May I?
Yes, sure.
How do you care?
You got your money anyway.
Well, that's worse than getting it from him.
Oh, sure. Crash the twin-engine plane and collect the insurance.
A clean little job, you call it. No risks, huh?
I told you, he's got his back against the wall.
If we go light on the damage, the insurance company catches on and we end up behind bars.
If we go all the way, we'll never live to tell about it.
Okay, I'll do it alone.
You're damn right you'll do it alone.
Well?
Just passing by.
Ah.
Destination, soldatum?
The group?
Us.
Or you got any objections?
Oh, as far as I'm concerned.
Put me down on your list.
You're already on it.
Who gave you this flight plan?
A guy phoned it in last night.
Who?
I did.
I said to myself, what if Salud changes his mind?
Didn't you just say you were coming, too?
No. I mean, yes. That's for me to decide.
Do me a favor and scratch his name off.
Uh-huh.
You know I didn't give you enough money for us at least to get back with.
Hey, I'm talking to you.
The what?
The mining for us to get back with.
We'll phone him when we get there.
Hmm?
You figure out where we're gonna ditch?
Mm-hmm. Just south of Saldarum.
It's a little bit out of the way, but close enough to town.
We'll be there in about half an hour.
Get on the radio and give the spot as a reference point.
It'd make more of an impression on them if they think we crashed here.
Can you imagine if we really fell down there?
Hello? Hello? This is Delta Bravo Foxtrot Tango calling Marantau Base.
Don't I sound dramatic?
Yeah, all right, go.
Hello?
Delta Bravo Foxtrot Tango calling Marantau Base.
This is Marantau. This is Marantau. I read you loud and clear.
I read you loud and clear.
This is 619. Delta Bravo Foxtrot Tango flying from Mazapa to Saldarim.
Our route is a 3-3-0.
Hydraulic system is leaking. Damaged.
You read me? We're flying with difficulty.
Reception bad. Reception bad. Estimated point is...
Go ahead. We're going on anyway.
Yoin, yoin, yoin, yoin. This is 6-1-9. 6-1-9.
Delta, Bravo, Foxtrot, Tango, flying from Batapak!
To Saldarim! To Saldarim!
Our route is oing, oing, oing, oing, 3-3-3-3-3-0!
They're over the jungle. Try to get their exact position.
Once they give us their bearing...
You've got to give us your bearing. Your bearing. Do you read me?
Estimated point is latitude 525 to south.
Longitude 618 west.
You're over 200 miles from here. Can you read me?
I know, Einstein. Now get us out of here. We're losing altitude.
I'm really a good actor.
Do you have forest survival equipment aboard? Over.
Suppose we cut it short, huh?
Why?
Because we really are losing altitude.
I know. I just finished telling them.
Oh!
Son of a bitch.
No risk. Clean little plane, eh?
It's a flying rat trap.
Good God, my God, Almighty God!
Scared, huh?
No!
Salud. Salud. Salud!
Hey! Salud! Salud! Salud!
Scared, huh?
I'll take care of you.
Excuse me.
Mm-hmm.
What's wrong?
Skimberlite. Just glass.
Huh. Looks real.
It looks real, but it's a piece of junk instead.
It's hard to tell when you're panning them out of the street.
Hey, tell your friend to look out for the piranhas.
Salud. What?
Look out for the piranhas.
Huh? Piranhas.
Here, too? Wherever there's shallow waters.
Even the monkeys know enough to drink out of straws around here.
You must be the two pilots that crashed in the Maranto Forest last month, eh?
How do you know?
News travels fast in the forest.
Besides, I read it in the newspaper down in the village.
They had given you up for lost.
How many miners are there around here?
Too many.
How far away is the village?
It will take two days if you're walking.
Which way?
That way.
Right behind you.
There's no road, but you can't go wrong. It's directly west.
You got a compass, don't you?
Mmm.
Malaria, huh?
Huh?
No.
No, they had a fight last night.
Oh.
Yeah.
They drink, and then they get drunk.
And when they drink, they fight.
When they fight, somebody always gets, uh...
Killed?
Yeah.
Drinking is a problem here.
Kills more people than malaria.
What's the matter?
You don't drink, do you?
No, I got malaria.
But I'm not worried.
The worst is over now.
I'll survive.
Well, I'd like to survive, too.
No offense.
Ah, well, a jukebox in the jungle, huh?
Yeah, Mr. Ears treats us good.
We even get the comics.
Ears?
Yeah.
Who's Mr. Ears?
He is.
Seek and ye shall find, find and ye shall sell, and Mr. Ears will buy you out like stock
and barrel.
You're a prospector, too?
Yeah.
That's right.
You mean the prospectors compete with one another, but not with Mr. Ears?
Right.
It's dog eat dog around here.
The stream manages to wash some stones into the valley, but they're so small.
What kind of stones are they?
Mostly stone.
Mostly emeralds, but it's almost impossible to find a stone that'll keep you out of hock for good.
What counts here is... is quantity, not quality.
Yeah, but Mr. Ears is the only buyer, huh?
Yeah, you better believe it.
You mean you spent 14 years searching and never found anything?
Oh, yes. Oh, I found plenty.
A stream of precious stones, enough to set the crown of Midas in your head, young fella.
Hmm. Sounds like a lot of money.
Oh, but it's not for sale.
How do you think money will settle all your problems, do you?
No, but it might help you to get rid of your fleas.
Well, what's sure is when dogs have fleas, they're no worse off for it.
Isn't that right, Arthur?
Huh, a talking dog.
Oh, hello, dog.
Isn't that strange?
You don't usually take to city folk. Well, we lost that smell over two months ago
Looks like a nice dog. Does he hunt? Oh, yes emeralds
Wow, look at what just flew in you hungry Lindbergh always an extra dish for an ace
Thank you.
You mean these are the two guys that thought the Malignaro forest was an airstrip?
Yeah, the Limburger brothers.
Price was pretty big, huh?
Wonder how they managed to crawl out of it.
It wasn't that difficult. Cockroaches can crawl out of just about anything.
You think he's putting us on?
No.
Bing!
Eat up, Limburger.
Come on, see how easy it is.
You sneaky!
That wasn't nice.
He might take offense.
He already did.
You take care of him, huh?
Who, me?
Yeah, you're through eating.
Come on.
Oh, you must be kidding.
Come on.
You can't go around killing people just because you can't stand up on your own two feet.
It's ridiculous.
Yeah, it's hysterical.
Come on, Ace.
What are you waiting for?
It sure can cut.
Whatever you do, don't count on me.
Let's go, Airedale.
You ready?
Yeah, listen. If I admit you're right, will you quit it?
What am I right about, huh?
Everything.
Everything, huh?
Hey!
No, no.
That's pretty good for a Lindberger, huh?
Careful!
That's it.
Life is stuck, you know?
I bet your friend would be good at darts.
You!
No, I guess not.
No?
You don't want to play with them.
They're mean.
Who's that?
Ah, you're in luck, me friends. Augusto's here. He'll take you back to your city.
He usually goes back empty.
Hurry up, platter. We're leaving.
Shall we stop?
No.
As you like.
Hey, I'll show you a little trick.
Here. Now come around.
That's it.
You ready now as you lunge I gotta kick you in the belly kick you in the mouth and loosen the tooth
Now you lunge for me
Come on
Let's see about that tooth check on it
There you go, not bad, huh works every time
Yeah, just a minute yeah, come here
No.
Listen, come here.
No.
Plata!
Just a minute.
Hey, Plata.
Coming.
You work for that outfit too, huh?
Better than to try working against it.
If you fly supplies to these crazy prospectors, you do it only for Mr. Ears.
Going into business on your own isn't too healthy around here.
Mr. Ears doesn't like competition.
Want a drink?
I don't know why, but this Ears guy bothers me.
Anyhow, as I was saying, Mr. Ears is a big operator.
He's got plenty of planes.
What he needs are pilots willing to fly inland.
If you want, I can spread the word.
Mr. Ears will pay you well.
What do you say?
No, we're not interested.
Hey, listen.
50% in a partnership means we both make the decisions, huh?
You interested in?
Who, me? No.
Well, if you change your mind what interests us right now is a telephone
Hello
Clarita, how are you? Fine? Well fine. How are you an uncle salude ship shape? It's bloody
Put your father on what are they worried about it? What?
Who's taking care of you?
What's wrong and Alicia's there good? What's up? I can't hear anything
Yeah. Yeah, Salute is here.
It's little Ingrid, she wants to talk to you.
Is he dead?
I wish he were.
Hello, Ingrid.
Yeah, fine.
Why do you wish he were?
In jail again?
And with the home money, how much do they give him?
Six months.
When are you coming back, Uncle Salute?
When?
Soon.
Very soon.
We've had it.
There must be a way we can dig up a little money around here.
Yeah, with a shovel and a pail.
I've got an idea.
We go fly for Mr. Years?
Better. We fly for ourselves.
Yeah, on a broomstick.
Where is it?
Over there, to the right.
It's not in perfect condition, but if you'd like to take a look at it, go ahead.
What the?
You can pay me a little at a time, that is, if you get it off the ground.
Nothing in advance?
You mean that you have something to give in advance?
Sorry, I mentioned it.
What do you think?
Well?
I think...
What the hell? It'll never get off the ground. Never!
Good. It's a deal, then.
We are missing a couple of pistons, too.
Only a couple.
Anything else?
A connecting rod, a magneta, 50 yards of canvas, six vertical spars.
Otherwise, it's all in perfect condition.
Shut up. And give me a hand.
Hey, listen, when do we eat?
Huh?
Eating is a luxury.
It's my stomach.
Yeah, well...
Goodbye, beautiful!
I'll be back soon!
Adios!
Plata.
Ah. You ready?
Yeah, let's try.
Go ahead.
Well? Yeah, huh?
Ha ha!
You son of a bitch. Now wait, listen, Salute. I was just thinking that maybe if we try it
just... Shut up. I think you're stubborn. You don't know how stubborn I am. Need some
Want a hand?
No!
This is a personal matter.
What are you?
No!
I'll...
Hey!
Stop!
Stop or I'll...
Plata!
Stop it!
Plata!
Get on the table!
Jump! Jump! Hurry up!
It turns you red!
Ah, look at her go!
A personal thing, huh? You pig-headed ox!
Listen to her now!
Get on! Go on, get on!
Jump, Flatter! Jump!
Hey, Flatter, watch your gaze!
Okay!
It was a mister too rich beer that's a pay full of beer ramon i ain't going crazy ramon
do you see what i see i see ice beer ramon
Hey, Ramon! Wait for me!
Wait!
I want... I want a beer.
The bar is closed.
Opened it up again.
Sorry, Turtle, but you got here too late.
He swallowed the bottles, too.
It's a conspiracy, that's what it is.
No, it's only thirst.
How much do you want for it?
For what?
The foam with the ice.
How much for beer sets?
On the house.
Oh, it's on the house.
Leaving right away?
Yeah, but starting tomorrow, there'll be daily deliveries.
That means I can order then?
For the day after tomorrow.
Why the day after?
Because tomorrow's trip is all booked up.
You can't do this to me.
Look, I'll pay whatever you want.
Yeah, so will the others. So will the others.
First come, first serve, you know.
Totally fair.
It's a conspiracy.
Okay.
Think of something you want, but just one thing.
We'll try and bring it to you.
One thing, that's not easy.
It's not easy landing here either.
No, it isn't.
Only one thing yeah ice cream
It's been years since I had any ice cream. Will you bring me a couple of gallons of ice cream?
Yeah, if you give me two gallons of ice cream, I give you this you can count on it
Vanilla and chocolate. All right. Uh-huh
vanilla and chocolate
Listen, I'm warning you if this is all a joke. I'll you're a joke
You got any cigarettes?
All sold out.
Here. No charge for this.
Not until after tomorrow.
Come on, put this away, will you?
It makes me nervous.
You have a match?
What do you want? Odds or evens?
For what?
One of us has to stay.
Even you said she won't get off the ground otherwise.
Besides, less weight, more freight.
We'll take turns.
One day I'll stay, one day you stay.
What do you want?
The loser stays.
Uh-huh.
I'll take evens...
...two.
That's evens.
No, it doesn't count.
Why not?
I wasn't ready.
You ready now?
Yeah.
Evens.
Three.
That's odds.
You gotta be cheating.
Oh.
Nice guy.
He says odds, evens,
And I'm left here dying a hunger
You see
If I had been a jaguar you wouldn't have stood a chance. Ah, you want to be careful of fires in the animal kingdom
You got nothing better to do at night than go around scaring people. Well, it's in two years coming in
And only one of you is coming out. I thought you might need a bit of help. Why did I frighten you?
That's what you call help?
Well, it's better to be frightened than to be eaten by a jaguar.
Now, sitting around here in the dark, it ain't gonna do you no good.
Ah, come on.
I'll see you don't die in an empty stomach. Come on.
My shack's close by.
Shack's close by?
Oh, well, I thought I'd take you around another way,
because, you see, I wanted to show you something.
Oh?
Uh-huh.
What?
You see, you see that mountain?
Which one?
The tall one.
You mean the one in the middle?
Aye.
Ah, wouldn't you think she was talking to you?
Huh?
No.
Well, halfway up that mountain,
just where the forest begins,
there's three crosses.
Yeah.
And so?
Well, I planted them there with my own two hands.
But, ah, that's not what's important.
What is?
It's the beauty of that mountain.
Oh.
For me, that's the most beautiful mountain in the world.
Do your good just to be looking at it.
And that's why I wanted you to see it too.
Just at the right time.
In the moonlight.
Huh?
I thought you'd like to share the view with me.
I've got a madman making me pull out my hair already!
And it's more than I can take, you understand me?
Aye.
Besides, I haven't eaten anything all day.
Instead of feeding me, you show me a mountain, huh?
I thought Plato was crazy, but you
Hey look there. Oh
Well, that's only Agnes poor thing. She wouldn't hurt a fly would you Agnes? No, she just just suffers from the heat
That's all just suffer from a heat
Yeah, but we'll have her out of your way in a minute
She's going out to get some air
minute
That's it
There. Smells good, don't it?
Smells delicious.
Do you want to eat?
No, I have to look after Arthur first.
Arthur?
The dog. I had my mind set on getting you here and forgot about poor old Arthur.
So you'll excuse me.
Go right ahead.
Thank you.
To your health.
Good luck.
It's good.
It's a hundred proof.
Yeah, I can tell.
I take it mostly for medicinal purposes.
Yeah. Listen, old man.
Huh?
I'm sorry. I got mad at you up on the mountain.
You know, when I'm hungry, I don't know why, but I get in a bad mood.
I wouldn't worry about that. You know, we're all a bit astray up there.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I...
Well, now...
There were these three fellas digging a way up there.
Up where?
Huh? Oh, up in the mountain there.
Oh, up in the...
Great friends they were.
For years shared everything, sun, rain, work.
Even their women.
Ah, even their...
Yes, then one day I heard a lot of shooting going on up there.
And we all raced up to see what was going on.
And there they were, all of them stretched out.
All of them?
The other fellas were saying,
Aha, they must have had a bit of an argument.
Why would they start killing one another?
Ah, come on, says I.
Come on and give them a decent burial, I says.
Oh, not at all, they said.
Leave them for the vultures, that's what they said.
For the final ritual.
So, I decided to go up on me own.
I had only started digging the graves of these poor fellas.
When I got to know what it was all about, oh, Lord, you'd never seen anything like it.
It wasn't just the usual, the kind of a stone you'd find in a stream, like, oh, no, it was
a deposit, a huge deposit, immense, enormous, a whole mountain, a mountain of giant emeralds.
Now, how big is your fist?
Six times eight, six times eight, six times four is twenty-four.
Twice is forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty...
What are you doing?
One, two, three, four, checking our count.
We're lucky enough to get 20% of what they owe us.
We could fly out of this dirty hold in a private jet.
Mademoiselle?
You make me lose my place.
So, three and that completes this one.
Si, senor.
As usual, ma chrie.
Ah, oui, monsieur.
But it should be 24. One's missing.
One, two, three, four.
You muttered about it.
26, 27, 28.
I mean, the plane's been paid for.
That's not the problem.
Still got a few coins in your bag, don't you?
I should hope so.
We got any debts?
That's all we need.
So what's wrong?
I can't figure this out. Will you shut up?
Oh, thanks, sweetheart. You're more beautiful than usual tonight.
Hey, where do you think you are?
One of these days, you know, I'm gonna get married.
I suppose you think you're in the middle of the jungle, don't you?
You're wrong.
You mean we're in a mud hole.
That's great. I'll show you where we are.
Mama Margherita?
Yes?
May I have the honor?
Be a good boy, Plata. I have an army to feed.
Hey, that's worth a hundred dollars.
Yeah, that's right. Now you know where we are?
Where?
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman
Miguel! Miguel!
What's the matter?
I need the pilots here.
They're all here, nobody flies at night.
Well, get one of them off. I have a boy who's badly wounded. Hurry!
Miguel, get that generator going!
Ah, good God. It's one o'clock. What do they want?
Yeah, yeah, I understand.
We have to take him to the city.
But you can't back out, he's dying.
No one's backing out, we're not equipped for this.
Look, once you take off, we'll radio the airport to have an ambulance there waiting for you.
Look, the airport's closed, and besides, they're not equipped for night flights either.
He's losing blood.
I know, but there's nothing we can do.
You have it on your conscience.
Look, it's not only illegal, it's impossible.
Don't you understand, if that boy is not operated on immediately, he'll be dead before morning.
So will I be dead, the two of us, if I were to do what you were asking.
Oh, never mind.
Who will fly this boy to Saldarum now immediately you will be very compensated
My god, what a pack of sheep. I'm only sorry that I can't fly one of those crates myself
Hold it gorgeous
No, it's your turn to go to Fosse Grande tomorrow. Remember
odds are evens
i'll toss you
heads or tails?
sorry
it's tails
there is something you can do though
for one day you can do the bookkeeping
here's the bank
and god help you if you lose it, huh?
Sir, our company and I want to express our sincere thanks to you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You ready, boy?
Yes, sir.
Another little drop and we go.
I'm sorry, but that boss of yours doesn't know what he's talking about.
We're not afraid to fly at night.
It's only that we know it's impossible, that's all.
I don't understand, sir.
For me it's different. I can't even remember the last time I was drunk.
I still don't understand.
When I'm drunk, I mean when I'm really mellow, it's hard to explain.
But I become immortal.
Are you, are you really mellow now, sir?
I'm one with the gods.
Hello, Italduma.
Italduma Airfield. Italduma Airfield.
Italduma, do you read me?
This is Saldarum.
Who's that idiot who wants to take off?
Me.
And I already took off.
And if you don't watch your tongue, I'll pull it out when I get there.
That's highly improbable.
What?
I pull out your tongue?
No, that you get here.
Perhaps you might like to hear the weather bulletin.
Serious disturbances along the central cordillera with local precipitation.
Zero visibility.
Which means you'll never find us.
In addition, if you do reach this far, visibility over the runway is, I repeat, zero.
But if by some dark miracle you manage to set your rump on the ground, you'll find a pair of handcuffs waiting for you.
As soon as I sign off, I'm reporting you for...
Violation of the civilian flying code, and for contempt of a civilian official.
Bravo, now shut up and put on some music.
Music?
Any preference?
What music are you talking about?
Whatever you like, so long as I don't have to listen to you.
I don't think you've understood that you're talking to the base commander.
And you haven't understood that I'm immortal.
What are you?
Ah, forget it. Just call me an ambulance. I have a wounded man aboard. Over and out.
Are you really going to report him, sir?
Just shut up, will you? The rockets! I'll be damned.
If they even come close to the airport, the rockets can die them down.
Visibility zero. It's like daylight.
These weather bulletins.
Anyway, we'll be all right if we don't lose sight of that roof.
Can you see anything, sir?
Is it very dark?
No, it's daylight out there.
We're here! We're here, muchacho!
Who is it?
I don't hear a thing, sir.
Neither do I.
so shut up. Quiet back there. Santos you ready? Whenever you want sir. Here they are. Fire
one Santos. Look at that there's a big celebration in town. Fire Santos.
That's the landing team.
Yeah, it's the airport.
We're here, muchacho! We're immortal!
Ha ha! We're immortal!
At one time, all the young ones used to meet in the sands,
and nobody to bother them at all.
Ah, but not in a motor car.
Huh?
You point your car out to sea,
turn on the radio,
and you've got the ocean before you
and paradise beside you.
Huh? Well, that's something you
too woo in a motor car.
Well, look who's here.
The ace in person.
I see that you've changed weapons, hunting for quail.
Yeah, the ones that grow fat and stupid from too much flying.
Well, at least it saves you from going to the dentist too often.
All right, keep him up.
Nervous, huh?
Don't try it again.
Would you like another beer?
Oh, yes, I...
Drink hard.
Tell him to shut up.
Easy, Arthur. Good dog.
I'm afraid he doesn't think much of you either.
I told you to make him shut up.
Why don't you tell him yourself?
All right. I will tell him.
No. No!
Augusto.
Oh, hello, Salud. How's that boy making out?
It was a close call, but he'll live. What are you doing here?
Came down to give my crate an overhaul.
Actually, they told us all to stay clear of the camp for a few days.
How about Platter? He stay clear too?
No, he's a little bit, you know, crazy.
Yeah, I know that. Go on.
Last night he didn't show up at Mama Margarida's.
Then he probably slept at the old guy's place.
I guess he did.
Listen, I, um, I'd better go now.
Take it easy. What's your hurry?
Who's that?
That's Mr. Ears.
Mr. Ears, huh?
Yeah. He personally comes down to the camp once a month to pick up the stones from the prospectors.
What's he have in his ear? Is he deaf?
Like a door.
Who's the other guy?
That's his personal pilot.
Never seen him before.
Just as well.
Once, just for fun, I saw him crush a coconut in his hand like this.
Like a banana.
It's ridiculous the more I stay with him the more he gets me in trouble
They're nice enough to warn you but no you got to take off just the same. He doesn't think about me
He doesn't think that I'm in this too
Maybe they didn't tell him not to go. No, no, it could be no
He just ups and leaves and with the cash besides you understand. Yeah with the cash beside
Well, you can take the cash to the grave with you. Well, can I can I at least know where we're going?
I gotta get back.
Yeah, just a minute.
With one hand, you said, huh?
Huh.
You see?
It's no big thing.
You just dirty your hands, that's all.
But this time is the last.
Mark my words.
This time, he's gonna do it my way.
I'll show that damn idiot.
Yeah, at least you, you got a head on your shoulders, but Plata, he's, he's...
He's crazy.
Listen, you mind telling me where we're going?
Don't you know?
No.
I'm gonna buy a couple of things.
in town, then you take me out, right away.
Where?
To Forza Grande, where else?
Oh, no, no, I can't.
No, no, no.
Bravo!
I knew I could count on you.
That's so you put us in.
Shh, quiet, old man.
Anybody home?
Yeah, come in, stupid.
Oh.
You're the one stupid.
Hello.
Hello.
Parachuted in, huh?
Yeah, there's only one swamp in this whole valley, and I had to land in it.
Augusta drop you. Yeah
Can I have some water
They got away with everything yeah, even the IOUs and the plane
They shouldn't have done that yeah, but they did but they shouldn't have but they did
Should I fix you up something to eat?
With this face in front of me, I'd get sick.
Bring him something to eat.
I did some shopping.
Oh, yeah?
What'd you get me?
Beautiful.
What else do you want?
Guess.
Check it. Open it up.
I checked it. And it's empty.
Oh. Boom.
Mr. Ears? Mr. Ears?
Once he asked me to shut the motors off because he didn't appear with his hearing aid.
What are you doing here?
Us.
Us what?
Us.
He said us.
One moment I shoot.
I thought that gun was empty.
You could have kept that to yourself.
Anyway, it's no more loaded than yours is.
Watch it, Deadhead.
They're both loaded.
Oh, you caught on.
What do you say we put these back where they belong?
Huh.
You left the door open.
You took care of the back door, didn't you?
Oh, not even a fly could get in there.
And that takes care of the guns.
There's no point in leaving this key around here.
No, wait.
Huh?
We didn't happen to have a coin.
Come on.
You know how it is when people start airing their opinions.
Someone raises his voice, the voice is carried.
Come on, come on, make it quicker.
This is the volume control.
Got it.
Okay, here we go.
Oi! Come on!
Take that!
Harder!
Harder, boys! Harder!
Wanna cracker?
Oi!
You wanna give it to me? Huh?
Ah, that's too easy.
Once I saw him crush a coconut in his hand like this, like a banana.
A banana!
In one hand, Salud, like this, like a banana.
Hey, what's the matter?
Plata!
Yeah?
There's still two of them left.
Let them in. The key's outside.
You want to go in, huh?
No, no.
Yeah.
Inside.
You too.
Hey, look!
Holy smoke!
Okay, Platter!
Yeah, here they come!
Ah!
Right!
Go!
Holy smoke!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch out, the beam!
I salute! You all right?
Yeah, yeah. Made out of... bricks.
I wonder if they got the message.
Does it make any difference?
Sure it does.
What's on your mind?
Nice bunch of fellas, aren't they?
Oh, look at that, there's more piranhas than water in that river.
You give them a finger, they bite off a whole arm.
Anyway they got a good strong canoe, food, everything they need.
Yeah, the rapids waiting for them ten miles downstream.
Rapids?
Yeah, rapids.
Well, with a little luck.
Yeah, with a little luck.
Yeah, and after that they come to a waterfall waterfall. Yeah waterfall you suppose we carried things too far
No, I only made three holes in that couldn't how many three? Oh
I seen that old canoe going downstream today
Yeah
You don't suppose to be very much to keep you here any longer
Yeah, we're not prospectors, you know.
Yeah, besides, if we don't take advantage of this chance...
I mean, with that deluxe jet and Mr. Ears, you know.
That's right, since he preferred the water route this time.
Yeah.
I'm sure...
Salvatore must be looking very beautiful this time of the year.
We're going to Salvador, huh?
Who said anything about Salvador?
Ah, well, then if you say so a beautiful place, of course, we're going to Salvador Salvador is great this time of year. Oh
Yes, it's wonderful
Well, I'll fix you something to eat
You must be very tired
Very hungry, you know, I got a sister who's married in
Salvador
Well, they're not very rich, but they've got a nice bunch of kids.
Husband's a mailman, oh, a nice guy.
They have a big house and plenty of room.
Only trouble is, they both work, and yeah, they have no one they can leave the kids with.
If he likes animals, he should get along with kids, don't you think?
Down there you open a drawer and a kid comes poppin' out!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Hey, what's the matter?
You mean... you mean you'll take me with you?
Oh, of course, we're flying empty and there's plenty of room.
But what about the dog? I mean...
Oh, no problem. If he starts biting, we buy a muzzle.
I...
I wonder if it was a good idea to bring him along.
He's been dreaming about it all his life.
Dreams are one thing.
Now you tell me.
No, he's so crazy, everybody in this city will love him.
Can you imagine him in a big city?
Mm, he'll be all right.
Glad you think so.
Besides, wasn't it your idea to say we were going to Salvador?
Yeah, and whose idea was it to make him your sister's babysitter?
You don't even have a sister.
How do you know I don't have one?
Do you?
No.
But I could have.
Who knows what he expects to find.
You're crying.
Huh?
Yeah, well, yeah, I suppose I am.
Because I'm happy, really.
Imagine the things that have been happening over the years.
And there was me stuck in the middle of the forest, away from it all.
Was scared of people
Of course, I'm over all that now. Oh
It'll be great marvelous, you know
It's a question of minutes now wake up old man we're on the ground
Plata
Plata
What is it?
Hey, he's not... huh?
Yeah. Old Loco just took off.
That's not fair. Poor Loco, old man.
He wasn't all that Loco.
That much we knew.
What we didn't know is that he really did find the mine. Look.
And he even told us where it was.
Beautiful, huh?
Yeah, only the dog there didn't come out so good.
Hey!
What's the matter?
Isn't that the stone?
Yeah, but relax. Nobody will believe it's real.
Yeah.
Oh, certainly in appearance, your concession is in perfect order.
No objection.
We have to delve, dig deep into the situation and clarify everything.
I see here that you're from out of town.
And it's quite obvious that you're not acquainted with the procedure for obtaining a mining concession.
But you've been fortunate enough to find me.
They haven't made a rubber stamp out of me yet.
I'm a practical man. I speak frankly and open-heartedly.
Isn't that so?
My proposal is not only a reasonable one, but an honest one. Isn't that so?
Isn't that so, gentlemen?
Very well. We'll give you plenty, plenty of time to think it over.
Yeah. Isn't that so?
Yes. Would you offer him half the concession as a proposition?
What a stupid question.
Yeah, I mean, 50% would be more than enough for us.
But to split with somebody like that, isn't that so?
And besides, the old guy wouldn't have wanted it.
Nobody's getting anything.
Nobody. Not from me.
Bravo. You're on the right track.
About what?
About us getting out of here.
The sooner, the better.
You're kidding.
You've got to be kidding.
All we have to do is get to the plane and let them chase us for a while.
Nice. And give up everything, huh?
I didn't say that.
Listen...
No.
Now you listen to me, genius.
Not even a cannon is gonna get me out of here.
Understand?
Yes or no?
Yeah.
For once the law is on our side.
With the documents in our hands.
That's just it.
They're not in our hands anymore.
Naturally, you'll give it back.
Oh, sure.
A lawyer is necessary.
You'll get a lawyer, yeah.
A hundred lawyers the law is the law
Lawyers, huh? Well, I figured a way to get out of here. I don't know if you notice just a minute. I
Got an idea, too
you
Yeah me. Hey
What is it?
Yes
You're not moving from here, that's my idea
What are you?
Are you coming or not?
Come back in here.
I'll wait for you at the plane then, huh?
Come back you no good son of a...
No good stinkin' sneaky rat I'll kill...
Hey, I'm sorry, very sorry.
I didn't see...
That's all right, excuse me.
Don't go away! I'll be right back!
Don't lock the gate!
I swear by God I'll kill you, break you into a million pieces, rebellion!
Rebellion, defiance, violence, escape, they're done for.
No need for us to go and tiptoe, Your Excellency.
Now I'm certain we'll have no problem in reaching an agreement, but I have a look at that document
Oh, that's good a
A drop, Your Excellency.
Here you are.
And a drop for me.
Well, then.
Here's to our agreement.
Mind if I join in?
Good. Very good.
Not bad.
Yes, this document puts an end to all our problems.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
This is hardly a time for napping, don't you think?
He's not used to staying up late.
Oh, no!
Oh, yes!
Don't make me see him again.
We were rich.
A whole deposit.
All we needed was a lawyer.
And he declared war on South America.
What a screwing.
They'll give me 50 years if they catch me.
Oh, it's you, huh?
They finally decided to send some help.
Hey! Hey! You dirty skunk! You want to play, huh? Then take this!
Platter!
Platter!
Hey!
Scared, huh?
You know, last night I didn't have time to tell you what I thought about your idea.
And so?
And so!
So I said to myself, maybe he has it in for me.
Maybe he feels insulted.
Oh
You insult me no, I think you want to talk it over let's not rush
Yeah, you're right, you know, there are certain matters that you
Just can't be rushed. Yeah, that's good. That's very good
Hey, don't you think we better get started?
What do you want?
To arrest them.
Bueno, go right ahead.
You don't think they will get away?
No.
Before anything else, let's put a little sense into your face.
Okay
Had enough no
Hey, Platter, you think we can come back some day?
I doubt it, after all the trouble you caused.
Me?
Who else?
Anyhow, nobody's gonna take that concession away from us.
Oh, that's for sure.
Yeah.
In other words, we're rich, but we haven't got a cent.
Huh. Like the old guy.
Sleep, feel the love behind, below us
Fly through the air, with me, we'll
Kiss your cheek, let the wind stir with you
Ride along, here with me, you and me
Is it still hot?
Yeah.
And it's heavy, too.
When you see Sugarloaf Mountain, dump the rest of the fuel.
There's a takeoff every minute this time of day.
They'll get out of the way.
Oh, sure.
Here's your reading, 643.
Good visibility.
Wind calm.
Ready for takeoff.
Captain Emilio de la Rosa.
Runway 2-5 is clear. Roger. 6-4-3, ready for takeoff.
Go ahead, 6-4-3.
See you when we get back.
Good God! What's he doing?
Hey, look what's coming right at us.
They'll get out of the way.
They're gonna have to.
Hijos de puta!
Whoa!
Attention firefighters, firefighters, emergency, please leave the runway immediately.
Oh, Yankee Zulu, do you read me? Do you read me?
Now what does he want?
He wants us to follow him.
Tell him we don't have any brakes.
I think he found out.
Open the hangar.
Viva! Viva! Bravo! Bianchi! Zulu!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Viva! Viva! Bravo! Bianchi! Zulu!
Hurry up! Hurry up! Let's go!
I think I'll walk next time.
Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done...
It's always nice to come home, eh?
Attention!
The commander of the aircraft Lima Lima Bravo Yankee Sulu
present himself immediately to the command of the airport.
Sounds mad, don't it?
Flight captain Lima Lima Bravo Yankee Sulu
report immediately to the airport security control office.
Hey!
Hotel del Sol.
Would you put it in the front row? I'll only be gone half an hour.
Hey!
Thank you.
You know, the lady's right. You do look like a parking attendant.
Hop in.
Flyin' through the air,
Mad love, you and me,
We are for days,
You and me,
But there's a wish that will heal,
Right along here with me,
You and me.
Blue sky,
Leavin' all,
Hey, officer.
We found it about a hundred miles from here.
You take care of it, huh?
Thanks.
Yeah.
Ah! Uncle Salud!
How's Miss Monkey?
She's fine.
And what about your sister?
She's in school. They'll be here soon.
How are things going?
As usual, but everything else is fine.
Clarita, the medicine.
Another attack?
Uh-huh.
If you weren't the born liar you are, you'd admit you never expected that wreck to get
here.
Now, you hired us to do a job.
We held up our end, so stop croaking and hold up yours.
What did he say?
He said you owe us 250 each.
Pay up, Papa. Come on.
Yeah, Norton, pay up.
You too now.
There's no respect anymore.
It doesn't cost anything to write a check.
Oh, no.
You will take a check?
Yeah?
All right.
Fine, Norton.
I want cash, and if you don't fork it over...
Ah, Ingrid!
Ingrid!
Hey!
Well?
Do what you want.
Here we are.
And you?
Is she one of your daughters, too?
Tolita.
Yeah.
Tolita.
250 each.
It better be good.
It better be good.
Here.
Hey, wait!
May I help you?
May I help you?
Yeah, certainly.
Hey, salute here.
He's here.
Hey, Whitney.
That was a good shot.
Hi, Fletler.
Do it! Do it!
Hey.
Get him!
Yes, Doc.
No, Doc.
What are you going to do with him?
Oh, him?
Really nice shot.
How about a little game, huh?
Why not?
I'm playing too.
But you said you had a headache.
Nope, never felt better in my life.
Oh, he's a pushover.
100 a game?
A shot.
100 a shot.
I still think you've got a headache.
Yeah?
It's too bad, I don't.
Look out.
How's your head feeling?
Huh?
Just dead.
You see that?
But didn't we say that it had to be a three-rail shot?
Well, what do you think that was?
Only two.
Oh.
Did you hear the latest about Nozzin?
What?
That check he gave us wasn't covered.
Then how did you cash it?
I lent it to him.
That cheapskate.
May I?
Yes, sure.
How do you care?
You got your money anyway.
Well, that's worse than getting it from him.
Oh, sure. Crash the twin-engine plane and collect the insurance.
A clean little job, you call it. No risks, huh?
I told you, he's got his back against the wall.
If we go light on the damage, the insurance company catches on and we end up behind bars.
If we go all the way, we'll never live to tell about it.
Okay, I'll do it alone.
You're damn right you'll do it alone.
Well?
Just passing by.
Ah.
Destination, soldatum?
The group?
Us.
Or you got any objections?
Oh, as far as I'm concerned.
Put me down on your list.
You're already on it.
Who gave you this flight plan?
A guy phoned it in last night.
Who?
I did.
I said to myself, what if Salud changes his mind?
Didn't you just say you were coming, too?
No. I mean, yes. That's for me to decide.
Do me a favor and scratch his name off.
Uh-huh.
You know I didn't give you enough money for us at least to get back with.
Hey, I'm talking to you.
The what?
The mining for us to get back with.
We'll phone him when we get there.
Hmm?
You figure out where we're gonna ditch?
Mm-hmm. Just south of Saldarum.
It's a little bit out of the way, but close enough to town.
We'll be there in about half an hour.
Get on the radio and give the spot as a reference point.
It'd make more of an impression on them if they think we crashed here.
Can you imagine if we really fell down there?
Hello? Hello? This is Delta Bravo Foxtrot Tango calling Marantau Base.
Don't I sound dramatic?
Yeah, all right, go.
Hello?
Delta Bravo Foxtrot Tango calling Marantau Base.
This is Marantau. This is Marantau. I read you loud and clear.
I read you loud and clear.
This is 619. Delta Bravo Foxtrot Tango flying from Mazapa to Saldarim.
Our route is a 3-3-0.
Hydraulic system is leaking. Damaged.
You read me? We're flying with difficulty.
Reception bad. Reception bad. Estimated point is...
Go ahead. We're going on anyway.
Yoin, yoin, yoin, yoin. This is 6-1-9. 6-1-9.
Delta, Bravo, Foxtrot, Tango, flying from Batapak!
To Saldarim! To Saldarim!
Our route is oing, oing, oing, oing, 3-3-3-3-3-0!
They're over the jungle. Try to get their exact position.
Once they give us their bearing...
You've got to give us your bearing. Your bearing. Do you read me?
Estimated point is latitude 525 to south.
Longitude 618 west.
You're over 200 miles from here. Can you read me?
I know, Einstein. Now get us out of here. We're losing altitude.
I'm really a good actor.
Do you have forest survival equipment aboard? Over.
Suppose we cut it short, huh?
Why?
Because we really are losing altitude.
I know. I just finished telling them.
Oh!
Son of a bitch.
No risk. Clean little plane, eh?
It's a flying rat trap.
Good God, my God, Almighty God!
Scared, huh?
No!
Salud. Salud. Salud!
Hey! Salud! Salud! Salud!
Scared, huh?
I'll take care of you.
Excuse me.
Mm-hmm.
What's wrong?
Skimberlite. Just glass.
Huh. Looks real.
It looks real, but it's a piece of junk instead.
It's hard to tell when you're panning them out of the street.
Hey, tell your friend to look out for the piranhas.
Salud. What?
Look out for the piranhas.
Huh? Piranhas.
Here, too? Wherever there's shallow waters.
Even the monkeys know enough to drink out of straws around here.
You must be the two pilots that crashed in the Maranto Forest last month, eh?
How do you know?
News travels fast in the forest.
Besides, I read it in the newspaper down in the village.
They had given you up for lost.
How many miners are there around here?
Too many.
How far away is the village?
It will take two days if you're walking.
Which way?
That way.
Right behind you.
There's no road, but you can't go wrong. It's directly west.
You got a compass, don't you?
Mmm.
Malaria, huh?
Huh?
No.
No, they had a fight last night.
Oh.
Yeah.
They drink, and then they get drunk.
And when they drink, they fight.
When they fight, somebody always gets, uh...
Killed?
Yeah.
Drinking is a problem here.
Kills more people than malaria.
What's the matter?
You don't drink, do you?
No, I got malaria.
But I'm not worried.
The worst is over now.
I'll survive.
Well, I'd like to survive, too.
No offense.
Ah, well, a jukebox in the jungle, huh?
Yeah, Mr. Ears treats us good.
We even get the comics.
Ears?
Yeah.
Who's Mr. Ears?
He is.
Seek and ye shall find, find and ye shall sell, and Mr. Ears will buy you out like stock
and barrel.
You're a prospector, too?
Yeah.
That's right.
You mean the prospectors compete with one another, but not with Mr. Ears?
Right.
It's dog eat dog around here.
The stream manages to wash some stones into the valley, but they're so small.
What kind of stones are they?
Mostly stone.
Mostly emeralds, but it's almost impossible to find a stone that'll keep you out of hock for good.
What counts here is... is quantity, not quality.
Yeah, but Mr. Ears is the only buyer, huh?
Yeah, you better believe it.
You mean you spent 14 years searching and never found anything?
Oh, yes. Oh, I found plenty.
A stream of precious stones, enough to set the crown of Midas in your head, young fella.
Hmm. Sounds like a lot of money.
Oh, but it's not for sale.
How do you think money will settle all your problems, do you?
No, but it might help you to get rid of your fleas.
Well, what's sure is when dogs have fleas, they're no worse off for it.
Isn't that right, Arthur?
Huh, a talking dog.
Oh, hello, dog.
Isn't that strange?
You don't usually take to city folk. Well, we lost that smell over two months ago
Looks like a nice dog. Does he hunt? Oh, yes emeralds
Wow, look at what just flew in you hungry Lindbergh always an extra dish for an ace
Thank you.
You mean these are the two guys that thought the Malignaro forest was an airstrip?
Yeah, the Limburger brothers.
Price was pretty big, huh?
Wonder how they managed to crawl out of it.
It wasn't that difficult. Cockroaches can crawl out of just about anything.
You think he's putting us on?
No.
Bing!
Eat up, Limburger.
Come on, see how easy it is.
You sneaky!
That wasn't nice.
He might take offense.
He already did.
You take care of him, huh?
Who, me?
Yeah, you're through eating.
Come on.
Oh, you must be kidding.
Come on.
You can't go around killing people just because you can't stand up on your own two feet.
It's ridiculous.
Yeah, it's hysterical.
Come on, Ace.
What are you waiting for?
It sure can cut.
Whatever you do, don't count on me.
Let's go, Airedale.
You ready?
Yeah, listen. If I admit you're right, will you quit it?
What am I right about, huh?
Everything.
Everything, huh?
Hey!
No, no.
That's pretty good for a Lindberger, huh?
Careful!
That's it.
Life is stuck, you know?
I bet your friend would be good at darts.
You!
No, I guess not.
No?
You don't want to play with them.
They're mean.
Who's that?
Ah, you're in luck, me friends. Augusto's here. He'll take you back to your city.
He usually goes back empty.
Hurry up, platter. We're leaving.
Shall we stop?
No.
As you like.
Hey, I'll show you a little trick.
Here. Now come around.
That's it.
You ready now as you lunge I gotta kick you in the belly kick you in the mouth and loosen the tooth
Now you lunge for me
Come on
Let's see about that tooth check on it
There you go, not bad, huh works every time
Yeah, just a minute yeah, come here
No.
Listen, come here.
No.
Plata!
Just a minute.
Hey, Plata.
Coming.
You work for that outfit too, huh?
Better than to try working against it.
If you fly supplies to these crazy prospectors, you do it only for Mr. Ears.
Going into business on your own isn't too healthy around here.
Mr. Ears doesn't like competition.
Want a drink?
I don't know why, but this Ears guy bothers me.
Anyhow, as I was saying, Mr. Ears is a big operator.
He's got plenty of planes.
What he needs are pilots willing to fly inland.
If you want, I can spread the word.
Mr. Ears will pay you well.
What do you say?
No, we're not interested.
Hey, listen.
50% in a partnership means we both make the decisions, huh?
You interested in?
Who, me? No.
Well, if you change your mind what interests us right now is a telephone
Hello
Clarita, how are you? Fine? Well fine. How are you an uncle salude ship shape? It's bloody
Put your father on what are they worried about it? What?
Who's taking care of you?
What's wrong and Alicia's there good? What's up? I can't hear anything
Yeah. Yeah, Salute is here.
It's little Ingrid, she wants to talk to you.
Is he dead?
I wish he were.
Hello, Ingrid.
Yeah, fine.
Why do you wish he were?
In jail again?
And with the home money, how much do they give him?
Six months.
When are you coming back, Uncle Salute?
When?
Soon.
Very soon.
We've had it.
There must be a way we can dig up a little money around here.
Yeah, with a shovel and a pail.
I've got an idea.
We go fly for Mr. Years?
Better. We fly for ourselves.
Yeah, on a broomstick.
Where is it?
Over there, to the right.
It's not in perfect condition, but if you'd like to take a look at it, go ahead.
What the?
You can pay me a little at a time, that is, if you get it off the ground.
Nothing in advance?
You mean that you have something to give in advance?
Sorry, I mentioned it.
What do you think?
Well?
I think...
What the hell? It'll never get off the ground. Never!
Good. It's a deal, then.
We are missing a couple of pistons, too.
Only a couple.
Anything else?
A connecting rod, a magneta, 50 yards of canvas, six vertical spars.
Otherwise, it's all in perfect condition.
Shut up. And give me a hand.
Hey, listen, when do we eat?
Huh?
Eating is a luxury.
It's my stomach.
Yeah, well...
Goodbye, beautiful!
I'll be back soon!
Adios!
Plata.
Ah. You ready?
Yeah, let's try.
Go ahead.
Well? Yeah, huh?
Ha ha!
You son of a bitch. Now wait, listen, Salute. I was just thinking that maybe if we try it
just... Shut up. I think you're stubborn. You don't know how stubborn I am. Need some
Want a hand?
No!
This is a personal matter.
What are you?
No!
I'll...
Hey!
Stop!
Stop or I'll...
Plata!
Stop it!
Plata!
Get on the table!
Jump! Jump! Hurry up!
It turns you red!
Ah, look at her go!
A personal thing, huh? You pig-headed ox!
Listen to her now!
Get on! Go on, get on!
Jump, Flatter! Jump!
Hey, Flatter, watch your gaze!
Okay!
It was a mister too rich beer that's a pay full of beer ramon i ain't going crazy ramon
do you see what i see i see ice beer ramon
Hey, Ramon! Wait for me!
Wait!
I want... I want a beer.
The bar is closed.
Opened it up again.
Sorry, Turtle, but you got here too late.
He swallowed the bottles, too.
It's a conspiracy, that's what it is.
No, it's only thirst.
How much do you want for it?
For what?
The foam with the ice.
How much for beer sets?
On the house.
Oh, it's on the house.
Leaving right away?
Yeah, but starting tomorrow, there'll be daily deliveries.
That means I can order then?
For the day after tomorrow.
Why the day after?
Because tomorrow's trip is all booked up.
You can't do this to me.
Look, I'll pay whatever you want.
Yeah, so will the others. So will the others.
First come, first serve, you know.
Totally fair.
It's a conspiracy.
Okay.
Think of something you want, but just one thing.
We'll try and bring it to you.
One thing, that's not easy.
It's not easy landing here either.
No, it isn't.
Only one thing yeah ice cream
It's been years since I had any ice cream. Will you bring me a couple of gallons of ice cream?
Yeah, if you give me two gallons of ice cream, I give you this you can count on it
Vanilla and chocolate. All right. Uh-huh
vanilla and chocolate
Listen, I'm warning you if this is all a joke. I'll you're a joke
You got any cigarettes?
All sold out.
Here. No charge for this.
Not until after tomorrow.
Come on, put this away, will you?
It makes me nervous.
You have a match?
What do you want? Odds or evens?
For what?
One of us has to stay.
Even you said she won't get off the ground otherwise.
Besides, less weight, more freight.
We'll take turns.
One day I'll stay, one day you stay.
What do you want?
The loser stays.
Uh-huh.
I'll take evens...
...two.
That's evens.
No, it doesn't count.
Why not?
I wasn't ready.
You ready now?
Yeah.
Evens.
Three.
That's odds.
You gotta be cheating.
Oh.
Nice guy.
He says odds, evens,
And I'm left here dying a hunger
You see
If I had been a jaguar you wouldn't have stood a chance. Ah, you want to be careful of fires in the animal kingdom
You got nothing better to do at night than go around scaring people. Well, it's in two years coming in
And only one of you is coming out. I thought you might need a bit of help. Why did I frighten you?
That's what you call help?
Well, it's better to be frightened than to be eaten by a jaguar.
Now, sitting around here in the dark, it ain't gonna do you no good.
Ah, come on.
I'll see you don't die in an empty stomach. Come on.
My shack's close by.
Shack's close by?
Oh, well, I thought I'd take you around another way,
because, you see, I wanted to show you something.
Oh?
Uh-huh.
What?
You see, you see that mountain?
Which one?
The tall one.
You mean the one in the middle?
Aye.
Ah, wouldn't you think she was talking to you?
Huh?
No.
Well, halfway up that mountain,
just where the forest begins,
there's three crosses.
Yeah.
And so?
Well, I planted them there with my own two hands.
But, ah, that's not what's important.
What is?
It's the beauty of that mountain.
Oh.
For me, that's the most beautiful mountain in the world.
Do your good just to be looking at it.
And that's why I wanted you to see it too.
Just at the right time.
In the moonlight.
Huh?
I thought you'd like to share the view with me.
I've got a madman making me pull out my hair already!
And it's more than I can take, you understand me?
Aye.
Besides, I haven't eaten anything all day.
Instead of feeding me, you show me a mountain, huh?
I thought Plato was crazy, but you
Hey look there. Oh
Well, that's only Agnes poor thing. She wouldn't hurt a fly would you Agnes? No, she just just suffers from the heat
That's all just suffer from a heat
Yeah, but we'll have her out of your way in a minute
She's going out to get some air
minute
That's it
There. Smells good, don't it?
Smells delicious.
Do you want to eat?
No, I have to look after Arthur first.
Arthur?
The dog. I had my mind set on getting you here and forgot about poor old Arthur.
So you'll excuse me.
Go right ahead.
Thank you.
To your health.
Good luck.
It's good.
It's a hundred proof.
Yeah, I can tell.
I take it mostly for medicinal purposes.
Yeah. Listen, old man.
Huh?
I'm sorry. I got mad at you up on the mountain.
You know, when I'm hungry, I don't know why, but I get in a bad mood.
I wouldn't worry about that. You know, we're all a bit astray up there.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I...
Well, now...
There were these three fellas digging a way up there.
Up where?
Huh? Oh, up in the mountain there.
Oh, up in the...
Great friends they were.
For years shared everything, sun, rain, work.
Even their women.
Ah, even their...
Yes, then one day I heard a lot of shooting going on up there.
And we all raced up to see what was going on.
And there they were, all of them stretched out.
All of them?
The other fellas were saying,
Aha, they must have had a bit of an argument.
Why would they start killing one another?
Ah, come on, says I.
Come on and give them a decent burial, I says.
Oh, not at all, they said.
Leave them for the vultures, that's what they said.
For the final ritual.
So, I decided to go up on me own.
I had only started digging the graves of these poor fellas.
When I got to know what it was all about, oh, Lord, you'd never seen anything like it.
It wasn't just the usual, the kind of a stone you'd find in a stream, like, oh, no, it was
a deposit, a huge deposit, immense, enormous, a whole mountain, a mountain of giant emeralds.
Now, how big is your fist?
Six times eight, six times eight, six times four is twenty-four.
Twice is forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty...
What are you doing?
One, two, three, four, checking our count.
We're lucky enough to get 20% of what they owe us.
We could fly out of this dirty hold in a private jet.
Mademoiselle?
You make me lose my place.
So, three and that completes this one.
Si, senor.
As usual, ma chrie.
Ah, oui, monsieur.
But it should be 24. One's missing.
One, two, three, four.
You muttered about it.
26, 27, 28.
I mean, the plane's been paid for.
That's not the problem.
Still got a few coins in your bag, don't you?
I should hope so.
We got any debts?
That's all we need.
So what's wrong?
I can't figure this out. Will you shut up?
Oh, thanks, sweetheart. You're more beautiful than usual tonight.
Hey, where do you think you are?
One of these days, you know, I'm gonna get married.
I suppose you think you're in the middle of the jungle, don't you?
You're wrong.
You mean we're in a mud hole.
That's great. I'll show you where we are.
Mama Margherita?
Yes?
May I have the honor?
Be a good boy, Plata. I have an army to feed.
Hey, that's worth a hundred dollars.
Yeah, that's right. Now you know where we are?
Where?
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman
Miguel! Miguel!
What's the matter?
I need the pilots here.
They're all here, nobody flies at night.
Well, get one of them off. I have a boy who's badly wounded. Hurry!
Miguel, get that generator going!
Ah, good God. It's one o'clock. What do they want?
Yeah, yeah, I understand.
We have to take him to the city.
But you can't back out, he's dying.
No one's backing out, we're not equipped for this.
Look, once you take off, we'll radio the airport to have an ambulance there waiting for you.
Look, the airport's closed, and besides, they're not equipped for night flights either.
He's losing blood.
I know, but there's nothing we can do.
You have it on your conscience.
Look, it's not only illegal, it's impossible.
Don't you understand, if that boy is not operated on immediately, he'll be dead before morning.
So will I be dead, the two of us, if I were to do what you were asking.
Oh, never mind.
Who will fly this boy to Saldarum now immediately you will be very compensated
My god, what a pack of sheep. I'm only sorry that I can't fly one of those crates myself
Hold it gorgeous
No, it's your turn to go to Fosse Grande tomorrow. Remember
odds are evens
i'll toss you
heads or tails?
sorry
it's tails
there is something you can do though
for one day you can do the bookkeeping
here's the bank
and god help you if you lose it, huh?
Sir, our company and I want to express our sincere thanks to you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You ready, boy?
Yes, sir.
Another little drop and we go.
I'm sorry, but that boss of yours doesn't know what he's talking about.
We're not afraid to fly at night.
It's only that we know it's impossible, that's all.
I don't understand, sir.
For me it's different. I can't even remember the last time I was drunk.
I still don't understand.
When I'm drunk, I mean when I'm really mellow, it's hard to explain.
But I become immortal.
Are you, are you really mellow now, sir?
I'm one with the gods.
Hello, Italduma.
Italduma Airfield. Italduma Airfield.
Italduma, do you read me?
This is Saldarum.
Who's that idiot who wants to take off?
Me.
And I already took off.
And if you don't watch your tongue, I'll pull it out when I get there.
That's highly improbable.
What?
I pull out your tongue?
No, that you get here.
Perhaps you might like to hear the weather bulletin.
Serious disturbances along the central cordillera with local precipitation.
Zero visibility.
Which means you'll never find us.
In addition, if you do reach this far, visibility over the runway is, I repeat, zero.
But if by some dark miracle you manage to set your rump on the ground, you'll find a pair of handcuffs waiting for you.
As soon as I sign off, I'm reporting you for...
Violation of the civilian flying code, and for contempt of a civilian official.
Bravo, now shut up and put on some music.
Music?
Any preference?
What music are you talking about?
Whatever you like, so long as I don't have to listen to you.
I don't think you've understood that you're talking to the base commander.
And you haven't understood that I'm immortal.
What are you?
Ah, forget it. Just call me an ambulance. I have a wounded man aboard. Over and out.
Are you really going to report him, sir?
Just shut up, will you? The rockets! I'll be damned.
If they even come close to the airport, the rockets can die them down.
Visibility zero. It's like daylight.
These weather bulletins.
Anyway, we'll be all right if we don't lose sight of that roof.
Can you see anything, sir?
Is it very dark?
No, it's daylight out there.
We're here! We're here, muchacho!
Who is it?
I don't hear a thing, sir.
Neither do I.
so shut up. Quiet back there. Santos you ready? Whenever you want sir. Here they are. Fire
one Santos. Look at that there's a big celebration in town. Fire Santos.
That's the landing team.
Yeah, it's the airport.
We're here, muchacho! We're immortal!
Ha ha! We're immortal!
At one time, all the young ones used to meet in the sands,
and nobody to bother them at all.
Ah, but not in a motor car.
Huh?
You point your car out to sea,
turn on the radio,
and you've got the ocean before you
and paradise beside you.
Huh? Well, that's something you
too woo in a motor car.
Well, look who's here.
The ace in person.
I see that you've changed weapons, hunting for quail.
Yeah, the ones that grow fat and stupid from too much flying.
Well, at least it saves you from going to the dentist too often.
All right, keep him up.
Nervous, huh?
Don't try it again.
Would you like another beer?
Oh, yes, I...
Drink hard.
Tell him to shut up.
Easy, Arthur. Good dog.
I'm afraid he doesn't think much of you either.
I told you to make him shut up.
Why don't you tell him yourself?
All right. I will tell him.
No. No!
Augusto.
Oh, hello, Salud. How's that boy making out?
It was a close call, but he'll live. What are you doing here?
Came down to give my crate an overhaul.
Actually, they told us all to stay clear of the camp for a few days.
How about Platter? He stay clear too?
No, he's a little bit, you know, crazy.
Yeah, I know that. Go on.
Last night he didn't show up at Mama Margarida's.
Then he probably slept at the old guy's place.
I guess he did.
Listen, I, um, I'd better go now.
Take it easy. What's your hurry?
Who's that?
That's Mr. Ears.
Mr. Ears, huh?
Yeah. He personally comes down to the camp once a month to pick up the stones from the prospectors.
What's he have in his ear? Is he deaf?
Like a door.
Who's the other guy?
That's his personal pilot.
Never seen him before.
Just as well.
Once, just for fun, I saw him crush a coconut in his hand like this.
Like a banana.
It's ridiculous the more I stay with him the more he gets me in trouble
They're nice enough to warn you but no you got to take off just the same. He doesn't think about me
He doesn't think that I'm in this too
Maybe they didn't tell him not to go. No, no, it could be no
He just ups and leaves and with the cash besides you understand. Yeah with the cash beside
Well, you can take the cash to the grave with you. Well, can I can I at least know where we're going?
I gotta get back.
Yeah, just a minute.
With one hand, you said, huh?
Huh.
You see?
It's no big thing.
You just dirty your hands, that's all.
But this time is the last.
Mark my words.
This time, he's gonna do it my way.
I'll show that damn idiot.
Yeah, at least you, you got a head on your shoulders, but Plata, he's, he's...
He's crazy.
Listen, you mind telling me where we're going?
Don't you know?
No.
I'm gonna buy a couple of things.
in town, then you take me out, right away.
Where?
To Forza Grande, where else?
Oh, no, no, I can't.
No, no, no.
Bravo!
I knew I could count on you.
That's so you put us in.
Shh, quiet, old man.
Anybody home?
Yeah, come in, stupid.
Oh.
You're the one stupid.
Hello.
Hello.
Parachuted in, huh?
Yeah, there's only one swamp in this whole valley, and I had to land in it.
Augusta drop you. Yeah
Can I have some water
They got away with everything yeah, even the IOUs and the plane
They shouldn't have done that yeah, but they did but they shouldn't have but they did
Should I fix you up something to eat?
With this face in front of me, I'd get sick.
Bring him something to eat.
I did some shopping.
Oh, yeah?
What'd you get me?
Beautiful.
What else do you want?
Guess.
Check it. Open it up.
I checked it. And it's empty.
Oh. Boom.
Mr. Ears? Mr. Ears?
Once he asked me to shut the motors off because he didn't appear with his hearing aid.
What are you doing here?
Us.
Us what?
Us.
He said us.
One moment I shoot.
I thought that gun was empty.
You could have kept that to yourself.
Anyway, it's no more loaded than yours is.
Watch it, Deadhead.
They're both loaded.
Oh, you caught on.
What do you say we put these back where they belong?
Huh.
You left the door open.
You took care of the back door, didn't you?
Oh, not even a fly could get in there.
And that takes care of the guns.
There's no point in leaving this key around here.
No, wait.
Huh?
We didn't happen to have a coin.
Come on.
You know how it is when people start airing their opinions.
Someone raises his voice, the voice is carried.
Come on, come on, make it quicker.
This is the volume control.
Got it.
Okay, here we go.
Oi! Come on!
Take that!
Harder!
Harder, boys! Harder!
Wanna cracker?
Oi!
You wanna give it to me? Huh?
Ah, that's too easy.
Once I saw him crush a coconut in his hand like this, like a banana.
A banana!
In one hand, Salud, like this, like a banana.
Hey, what's the matter?
Plata!
Yeah?
There's still two of them left.
Let them in. The key's outside.
You want to go in, huh?
No, no.
Yeah.
Inside.
You too.
Hey, look!
Holy smoke!
Okay, Platter!
Yeah, here they come!
Ah!
Right!
Go!
Holy smoke!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch out, the beam!
I salute! You all right?
Yeah, yeah. Made out of... bricks.
I wonder if they got the message.
Does it make any difference?
Sure it does.
What's on your mind?
Nice bunch of fellas, aren't they?
Oh, look at that, there's more piranhas than water in that river.
You give them a finger, they bite off a whole arm.
Anyway they got a good strong canoe, food, everything they need.
Yeah, the rapids waiting for them ten miles downstream.
Rapids?
Yeah, rapids.
Well, with a little luck.
Yeah, with a little luck.
Yeah, and after that they come to a waterfall waterfall. Yeah waterfall you suppose we carried things too far
No, I only made three holes in that couldn't how many three? Oh
I seen that old canoe going downstream today
Yeah
You don't suppose to be very much to keep you here any longer
Yeah, we're not prospectors, you know.
Yeah, besides, if we don't take advantage of this chance...
I mean, with that deluxe jet and Mr. Ears, you know.
That's right, since he preferred the water route this time.
Yeah.
I'm sure...
Salvatore must be looking very beautiful this time of the year.
We're going to Salvador, huh?
Who said anything about Salvador?
Ah, well, then if you say so a beautiful place, of course, we're going to Salvador Salvador is great this time of year. Oh
Yes, it's wonderful
Well, I'll fix you something to eat
You must be very tired
Very hungry, you know, I got a sister who's married in
Salvador
Well, they're not very rich, but they've got a nice bunch of kids.
Husband's a mailman, oh, a nice guy.
They have a big house and plenty of room.
Only trouble is, they both work, and yeah, they have no one they can leave the kids with.
If he likes animals, he should get along with kids, don't you think?
Down there you open a drawer and a kid comes poppin' out!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Hey, what's the matter?
You mean... you mean you'll take me with you?
Oh, of course, we're flying empty and there's plenty of room.
But what about the dog? I mean...
Oh, no problem. If he starts biting, we buy a muzzle.
I...
I wonder if it was a good idea to bring him along.
He's been dreaming about it all his life.
Dreams are one thing.
Now you tell me.
No, he's so crazy, everybody in this city will love him.
Can you imagine him in a big city?
Mm, he'll be all right.
Glad you think so.
Besides, wasn't it your idea to say we were going to Salvador?
Yeah, and whose idea was it to make him your sister's babysitter?
You don't even have a sister.
How do you know I don't have one?
Do you?
No.
But I could have.
Who knows what he expects to find.
You're crying.
Huh?
Yeah, well, yeah, I suppose I am.
Because I'm happy, really.
Imagine the things that have been happening over the years.
And there was me stuck in the middle of the forest, away from it all.
Was scared of people
Of course, I'm over all that now. Oh
It'll be great marvelous, you know
It's a question of minutes now wake up old man we're on the ground
Plata
Plata
What is it?
Hey, he's not... huh?
Yeah. Old Loco just took off.
That's not fair. Poor Loco, old man.
He wasn't all that Loco.
That much we knew.
What we didn't know is that he really did find the mine. Look.
And he even told us where it was.
Beautiful, huh?
Yeah, only the dog there didn't come out so good.
Hey!
What's the matter?
Isn't that the stone?
Yeah, but relax. Nobody will believe it's real.
Yeah.
Oh, certainly in appearance, your concession is in perfect order.
No objection.
We have to delve, dig deep into the situation and clarify everything.
I see here that you're from out of town.
And it's quite obvious that you're not acquainted with the procedure for obtaining a mining concession.
But you've been fortunate enough to find me.
They haven't made a rubber stamp out of me yet.
I'm a practical man. I speak frankly and open-heartedly.
Isn't that so?
My proposal is not only a reasonable one, but an honest one. Isn't that so?
Isn't that so, gentlemen?
Very well. We'll give you plenty, plenty of time to think it over.
Yeah. Isn't that so?
Yes. Would you offer him half the concession as a proposition?
What a stupid question.
Yeah, I mean, 50% would be more than enough for us.
But to split with somebody like that, isn't that so?
And besides, the old guy wouldn't have wanted it.
Nobody's getting anything.
Nobody. Not from me.
Bravo. You're on the right track.
About what?
About us getting out of here.
The sooner, the better.
You're kidding.
You've got to be kidding.
All we have to do is get to the plane and let them chase us for a while.
Nice. And give up everything, huh?
I didn't say that.
Listen...
No.
Now you listen to me, genius.
Not even a cannon is gonna get me out of here.
Understand?
Yes or no?
Yeah.
For once the law is on our side.
With the documents in our hands.
That's just it.
They're not in our hands anymore.
Naturally, you'll give it back.
Oh, sure.
A lawyer is necessary.
You'll get a lawyer, yeah.
A hundred lawyers the law is the law
Lawyers, huh? Well, I figured a way to get out of here. I don't know if you notice just a minute. I
Got an idea, too
you
Yeah me. Hey
What is it?
Yes
You're not moving from here, that's my idea
What are you?
Are you coming or not?
Come back in here.
I'll wait for you at the plane then, huh?
Come back you no good son of a...
No good stinkin' sneaky rat I'll kill...
Hey, I'm sorry, very sorry.
I didn't see...
That's all right, excuse me.
Don't go away! I'll be right back!
Don't lock the gate!
I swear by God I'll kill you, break you into a million pieces, rebellion!
Rebellion, defiance, violence, escape, they're done for.
No need for us to go and tiptoe, Your Excellency.
Now I'm certain we'll have no problem in reaching an agreement, but I have a look at that document
Oh, that's good a
A drop, Your Excellency.
Here you are.
And a drop for me.
Well, then.
Here's to our agreement.
Mind if I join in?
Good. Very good.
Not bad.
Yes, this document puts an end to all our problems.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
This is hardly a time for napping, don't you think?
He's not used to staying up late.
Oh, no!
Oh, yes!
Don't make me see him again.
We were rich.
A whole deposit.
All we needed was a lawyer.
And he declared war on South America.
What a screwing.
They'll give me 50 years if they catch me.
Oh, it's you, huh?
They finally decided to send some help.
Hey! Hey! You dirty skunk! You want to play, huh? Then take this!
Platter!
Platter!
Hey!
Scared, huh?
You know, last night I didn't have time to tell you what I thought about your idea.
And so?
And so!
So I said to myself, maybe he has it in for me.
Maybe he feels insulted.
Oh
You insult me no, I think you want to talk it over let's not rush
Yeah, you're right, you know, there are certain matters that you
Just can't be rushed. Yeah, that's good. That's very good
Hey, don't you think we better get started?
What do you want?
To arrest them.
Bueno, go right ahead.
You don't think they will get away?
No.
Before anything else, let's put a little sense into your face.
Okay
Had enough no
Hey, Platter, you think we can come back some day?
I doubt it, after all the trouble you caused.
Me?
Who else?
Anyhow, nobody's gonna take that concession away from us.
Oh, that's for sure.
Yeah.
In other words, we're rich, but we haven't got a cent.
Huh. Like the old guy.
Sleep, feel the love behind, below us
Fly through the air, with me, we'll
Kiss your cheek, let the wind stir with you
Ride along, here with me, you and me
