Desperation in a Hostile Environment
Fred
Goddamn bunch of cutthroats. Oh, shit. Boy, they'd leave me belly-up out here if they knew I was getting ready to run. Don't you make a noise when you walk?
[''Ruby walks past without acknowledging him'']
Ruby
Uh-uh.
Fred
Hey, wait a minute. You got yourself all done up, Ruby. What are you up to? Here. Oh, no you don't. Uh-uh. Ain't no trading today, Ruby. And not no more, neither. You folks gone too far. Trooper been snooping around. Air Force been through here twice. You folks have to go rob a goddamn Air Force PX for God's sakes.
Ruby
We're hungry. No one comes through back there anymore.
Fred
What did you get?
Ruby
Whiskey and radios. I ain't got nothing to eat.
Fred
I'm sorry, Ruby. I know you're starving, but I ain't got nothing else to trade. I got no more gas, no more cartridges, no more food. And the folks in Corn Creek have cut me off already. They even talked of blocking off this whole section and marching the National Guard through, see what they can find. You coyotes better watch your p's and q's for a spell.
Ruby
Take me with you.
Fred
What?
Ruby

Ruby
You're getting out. You take me, too.
Fred
Does the pack know you're doing this? Does Jupiter know? Why, he'd cut you to pieces if I told him you were going over the hill.
Ruby
If my pa knew you was getting out, he'd rip your lungs out.
Big Bob Carter

Fred
Get in here. That'll be the State Troopers. They'll toss you in jail and throw the key up a wild sow's ass and holler, "Suey!

Frustration and Conflict in a Marriage
Big Bob Carter
Twenty-five years I'm a cop in the worst goddamn precinct in ].
