Enter the Devil

Green, green, green

Everything's turning green

I'd tip my hat and as I roll back

I thought at least I could buy her a drink

Darling that's kind

And would you mind

Walking my sweet self home

And perhaps if you'd care

I'd fix you some tea

That is if you wanna come in

I have some paintings that you'd care to see

I said with a devilish grin

Green, green, green

Everything's turning green

Green, green, green

It's all I've ever seen

The devil's out making a green machine

He just turned an angel's blue eyes green

Green, green, green

Everything's turning green

- There you all have it, folks.

The top tune of the wild--

Son of a gun.

This November weekend.

Speaking of November,

some might big bucks have been spotted

down in Brewster and Presidio county.

A word of caution though.

Watch out for those signs.

One sure sign is when you get that urge to shoot first,

take a close look at what you've been aiming at.

And here's a candidate for the tall, Texas top spot,

on your clear channel voice of the southwest, WO--

Hello.

Sure glad you stopped.

Blew a tire back a ways.

Damn spare is flat.

Need a lift to a service station

or some place where I could may get.

Thanks'.

No telling how far I'd have to walk before I found help.

Jase!

I need you to crawl out from out of there, boy.

One more minute, boss man.

One more minute.

There, she oughta run forever.

Good, I'm glad to hear it.

I need you to take a ride down the bend.

Sure thing.

First thing in the morning.

- You oughta be able make it by about mid-afternoon.

This fella by the name of Perkins--

Tom.

Friday's my day off, remember?

This rock hound, Jace,

by the name of Ozzie Perkins

took a vacation trip out of Houston

down into the bend and now he's long overdue on the return.

So I told Houston you'd go down there

and have a look around.

- Fresh start in the morning, I'd have the whole day.

- Damn it, Jace, you have all the time it takes.

Look boy, this is election year.

I don't want no open cases on election day.

Go ahead and get cleaned up, huh?

And don't get too attached to the lip brush, boy.

That's got to go.

Tom, got a hot date tonight.

Pretty good possibility.

You're something else, you know that?

Maybe you oughta start off down at Glen Phelps' place.

A lot of tourists stop in there, coming and going.

And doesn't that little Juanita still work down there?

_ Qkay-

I will get cleaned up.

But if you don't want me coming back

until I get it straightened out,

you'd better start sending my checks care of

Terlingua, Texas, general delivery.

I might grow a beard.

This Ozzie Perkins won't be the first gringo

that dropped out of sight down in the big bend country.

- I'll be damned glad when they quit using Brewster County

for their disappearing act.

I'll get you a picture of this guy.

Quit your honking!

I'm coming!

Howdy, Chief.

What's brung you down to the boarder?

Looks like you've been pushing pretty hard.

- Fill her up, Willis, and see if you can knock

some of that dust off the windshield.

Got much business lately?

Oh, it's picking up.

Hunting season and all.

Hopefully trade from across the river, though.

I just as soon go without that.

You see, my late wife talked me

into moving down here to this hell hole

is the day I should've been put out of my misery.

- Lots of folks spend good moneyjust to come down here

and look at the scenery.

- Yeah and there's lots of folks in the nuthouses.

I guess what comes down here is the overflow.

What about this fella?

You seen him around?

That's one I do remember.

His kind are few and far between.

Something special about him?

- Every tourist or hunter to come through here

wants to pay with one of them little plastic cards.

You know how long it takes me to get my money

out of them credit it outfits?

What about the guy in the picture?

What about him?

He wanted by the law or something?

Name's Ozzie Perkins.

Came up here rock hounding and he never got home.

Well, he got passed here all right.

Must've been last week.

Paid cash for gas and groceries.

Last cash I've seen since I took in some old Mexican money.

Said he was headed up to Phelps' place.

That'll be $3.57.

Put it on the county's bill.

"Daggonnl

They only pay me twice a year!

Howdy, stranger.

Just passing through?

Just stopped by to water my horse.

How you been, Glenn?

No real complaints.

Good to see you, Jase.

- This place of yours is really turning into a gold mine.

Shaping up good.

Same old story.

Always a smoke but never a light.

What brings you so far south?

Tom Jefferson.

Sheriff of Brewster County

and running hard for re-election.

Checking out a missing person's report.

Fella by the name of Perkins.

How long's he been gone?

Near as I can figure, about a week.

He stopped by Lajitas, bought some gas.

Said he was coming up here.

Willis remembers him.

Said he paid cash.

He never showed up here.

I coulda used the cash.

What do you think, Mexico?

Probably.

Pockets full of greenbacks.

Wouldn't be the first time a fella decided

on a sudden change of scenery.

Tom thinks he's under the gun this year.

Told me not even to think about coming back

until I got the answers to this.

- Well, I guess you'll be running for a couple of days.

You got any room?

Plenty right now.

Deer season starts Saturday at daylight.

By Friday night, it could get pretty crowded.

Juanita?

The deputy will be staying a couple of days.

Fix him up a cabin, okay?

Si.

- How many hands do you got working for you now?

Two steady

and the house girls.

Mexicans?

Yeah, they wait at the river.

They make good workers.

Whoa up, old buddy.

I'm not the boarder patrol.

I just thought you might put the word out on Perkins.

Someone on the other side might know something.

Sure.

But I don't think it'll get you anywhere.

These people don't talk much.

Quiet and tight-lipped.

Especially with Anglos.

You get along all right.

I'm beginning to understand them.

They're gOOd 990N9-

Got any on ice?

You bet.

I'll buy.

The hell you will.

I said it's on me.

Paco, how are you?

I've got these little pains.

It only bothers me a little.

Paco's always gotta pain somewhere.

Hurry UP-

Si, Sefior Glenn.
