Start: Austin: You gotta’ eat something. Can’t just drink. How long have we been drinking, anyway?
Lee: (Looking through slips of paper) Maybe it was Fresno. What’s the area code for Fresno? How could I have lost that number! She was beautiful.
Austin: Why don’t you just forget about that, Lee. Forget about the woman.

[... … …]

End: Lee: And I own all the rights. And every dime goes in my pocket. You do that and I’ll sure enough take ya with me to the desert. How’s that sound?
Austin: It’s a deal.
