Cisco Pike

Great sound.

I really can dig it.

- See you later. - All right.

Hey, brother, it's been a long time.

Well, what have you brought me here?

A little coke from Cuzco?

I ain't dealing no more, man.

You mean you isn't dealing no more.

You heard about my last bust, didn't you?

Well, three will get you five.

That's a long time between drinks.

You've come to sing me a song.

What a beautiful surprise.

Cash.

Joplin.

Dylan.

Odetta.

Million memories.

What will you give me for it?

It's come to this?

I'm getting back in the music business.

Really? That's great.

Why don't you sell your 12-string.

It's practically brand-new.

I thought I could get more for this, man.

You remember that time we were at the Shrine, me and Jesse?

You dug that guitar so much...

...you said you wanted to buy it.

Said something about $ 1000.

Did I?

Well, you were pretty stoned at the time.

A lot of other cats have offered me the same.

This is your guitar, Cisco.

You don't want to buy it?

Nope.

Okay.

- I'll see you, brother. - Ciao, baby.

Now remember, the distinguished American philosopher...

...Satchel Paige said:

"Don't look back. Something may be gaining on you."

How's the old universe?

- You ruined it. - Yeah.

Can I have a cigarette?

Yogis don't smoke cigarettes.

- I see you got your tape back. - Yeah.

What did they say?

What do they always say?

You're too good for them.

That's what they said.

Why can't you just be some nice, healthy Baptist like the neighbors...

...instead of squatting weird on the table like some freak.

It's not weird. Yogis can do all kinds of good things.

Documented too.

- Like what? - Astral projection.

Levitation.

My daddy caught me levitating once.

Told me I'd go blind.

They can also make it for 24 hours straight.

Make what?

Sexual intercourse.

You remember sexual intercourse.

Yeah, but not for no 24 hours.

Well, you have to be really good to do it.

It's in an especial discipline.

Now, I bet you know all the good ones, don't you?

That's why all them dishes are in the sink.

Because some diaper-wearing, skinheaded yogi...

...is teaching my old lady how to ball 24 hours a day.

What's the matter? You afraid you're not up to it?

I'd like to help you out, but I gotta do something tomorrow.

- How about an hour? - How about a minute, missionary style.

When you touch me

It's easy to make me believe

Tomorrow won't take you away

- You pause after you say "make me." - Right.

So all them teenyboppers think you're saying "make me," huh?

Wonderful.

But I'd gamble

Whatever tomorrow might bring

For the love that I'm living today

Sing a round of the chorus now.

'Cause I'll never know till it's over

Come on, you can do this.

If I'm right or I'm wrong

Loving you

But I'd rather...

"I'd rather be sorry," and we are sorry.

Hello.

Hey, Dragon, how's Black?

No, man, don't call me about that no more.

I'm through. I quit dealing.

Yeah, why don't you try Buffalo. I think he's got something.

Yeah.

Dig you later, man.

You snoop.

- Are you sorry you quit? - Nope.

No withdrawal pains?

Not on your nelly. Come on, do this thing.

Because I'm happy. I'm really happy.

Yeah, I know. That's what I'm paying you for, right?

I mean, if it wasn't no trouble, I wouldn't need no lawyer.

Hey, I'll call you later, okay?

You got a warrant?

No, I thought you'd invite me in.

Cisco, I don't have too much time...

...so I want you to take a little ride with me out to the Valley.

I'm clean, man. I quit dealing.

- No, no. - I'm retired.

- Just a little ride to the Valley, okay? - I ain't dealing no more.

You already busted me twice.

- That's enough. - Cisco.

- Maybe I can help you with that bust. - Great. Go ahead.

Come on, search and seizure. I'll change my testimony.

- You'll get off, okay? - Yeah, right.

All I gotta do is give you some names.

Forget it, man. I ain't telling you nothing.

Come on, take a little ride with me, okay?

I mean, bust me or leave me alone, man...

...but I'm not just going for a little ride with no cop.

Okay, Cisco.

Let's say that you're busted.

Now, do you want to take that little ride?

Jesus.

There's a hundred keys, even.

Whose is it?

Open one up.

- Where'd it come from? - Open one up, will you?

Go ahead.

What do you think?

If they all come from the same place, it's bad dope, man.

What do you mean? What's wrong with it?

No. I mean "good" bad.

Go ahead and try it.

If you're setting something up, Holland, it ain't gonna work.

No, I'll smoke some with you.

Go ahead.

Whose garage is this?

It's mine.

No, really, it's my garage.

Thank you, operator.

Well, there's a Betty Holland at that address.

Then it's his garage.

If it's his wife.

He just might be straight.

- You mean he's honestly crooked. - Yeah.

I can't believe it.

Well, if this is an attempt at entrapment...

...it certainly is the clumsiest one I've ever seen.

You know, Cisco, if I were you, I'd steer clear of the whole thing.

Yeah. It's incredible grass, though.

How much...?

Just blowing off... You know, blowing out the carbon:

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Come here.

I gotta have $ 10,000 by Monday.

- Monday? - Yeah.

You get me that much by Monday, and the rest of it...

...you just fool around with on your own time.

Whatever you make on it, you keep.

That's an awful lot of grass to turn in two days, man.

It's not really two days, though.

You got the rest of today and, well, the weekend.

That's like 59 hours.

So you figure out it's...

Well, about two keys an hour, if you want to figure it that way.

Two keys an hour? Do I get to punch a time clock?

Look, man, you're the hotshot dealer.

You get it for me by Monday, or it's no deal.

Okay.

What about the prior?

When it comes to court, I'll see what I can do for you.

You can get off on an 844. It's a technicality.

Nobody cares.

One more thing.

Why are you doing this?

- I need the money. - Yeah, everybody needs money.

Stocks and bonds, stuff you wouldn't understand.

Don't tell me what I don't understand, man.

I've had business managers and agents...

...that have put more bread in the market in one day...

...than you ever made in your entire police life.

All right, I've got to make a margin call on Monday.

I borrowed against my life insurance.

What the hell difference does it make?

Okay, you need the money...

...but you're, you know, a narc.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

I don't know.

You do things...

...and one day you wonder why you're doing things.

You know?

I don't know.

You said you were gonna quit, Cisco. You promised.

I did, man, I quit.

- What's all that? - Grass.

Some of the best that I ever had, man. It's really good.

It's all buds. Take a look at that.

- You were going to quit. - I did quit.

This is for us.

We're gonna smoke it. I ain't gonna sell it.
