Boiling Point - 1978 (Andrea Lange)

Um, I seem to run out of money last night, too.

Um...

I got this watch.

This watch should be worth 20 bucks worth of gas.

Watch?

I don't need a watch.

Sun comes up in the morning,

goes down at night.

I'm gonna die before I want to.

And I just don't need a watch

to tell me what time it is.

Uh, where you going?

Uh, I'm, uh, I'm coming from New Orleans

and, uh,

heading my way south to Mexico.

You're not gonna take me to Mexico

on that watch.

Uh, hey, boy, you

afraid of working?

No, sir. No, sir. I've been working all my life

since I was young.

Well, I'll tell you what. I'm gonna do you a favor.

I'll take your watch.

I'll give you $20 worth of gasoline.

And you go down this road

and you'll see

Old Man Hawthorne's Ranch.

It's a big one. Big spread.

You can't miss it.

And his daughter's getting married in a couple of days.

He needs all the help he can get.

Now, you go down there

and earn yourself enough money

to get you to Mexico.

And you come back here and

I'll sell you your watch,

a nice watch back to you for $30.

$30?

For $20 of gas?

That ain't much of a favor.
