Jem snorts.<br />

JEM<br />

What am I gonna do? Go down to<br />

Margaritaville, drink up half a<br />

yard falling off bar stools?<br />

DOUG<br />

<strong>The</strong> Florist -- kid, he’ll keep<br />

turning you out till you get<br />

bounced for good.<br />

DOUG<br />

<strong>The</strong> weight of this, you should at<br />

least pack a parachute.<br />

JEM<br />

<strong>The</strong> worst thing about prison was<br />

guys pretending they wanted to get<br />

out.<br />

Jem checks the action on a weapon.<br />

JEM<br />

You ever hear the old-timers call<br />

a guy a ‘fifty pound horse’?<br />

No.<br />

DOUG<br />

JEM<br />

A guy has two horses One’s got a<br />

hundred pounds. <strong>The</strong> other got<br />

fifty. Hundred-pound horse falls<br />

over dead. Guy puts the hundred<br />

pound sack on the fifty-pound<br />

horse. Now that fifty-pound horse<br />

won’t move. He won’t take a step<br />

with another pound on his back.<br />

That’s me. Ain’t doin’ no more<br />

time. We get jammed up -- we’re<br />

holding court on the street.<br />

Mule.<br />

What?<br />

DOUG<br />

JEM<br />

DOUG<br />

It’s not a horse. <strong>The</strong> story the<br />

old guys tell. It’s a ‘fifty-<br />

pound mule.’
