At that moment, Blackfoot comes into the restaurant.

(Blackfoot) Ben, Tracey, come. We have much work to do. (Gate Guard’s
son) Look, here is the man of the hour himself. Shit, I’ll drink to that.

(Blackfoot) Ed, I’ve known you from a boy and someday you’ll make the
right choice. I just hope it will come soon. (Ben) Grandfather, he helped

Mr. Kelly and that Japanese man to trick you. (Blackfoot) No, son, he
helped me pick a moment to fight Machista. (Gate Guard’s son) That’s

right, Ben. You and your girl run along and pretend to fight a myth or
something. (Crowd Member) Ed, I’m with you. The Japanese will bring us

work. I would sell my soul to the devil to get a good job. But I won’t have
you talking to Blackfoot without respect. He is a shaman, more so he is an
Apache, the descendent of the great Geronimo. Have respect.

(Gate Guard’s son) I don’t care anything but getting paid back for my

guy. (He turns to Ben). I suggest that you all go home. (Tracey) Let’s go
Ben. Mr. Begay, I may not be a shaman, but I know the day will come that

they all will run to you for help. (She turns to Ed). I can’t understand
you, Ed. (Gate Guard’s son) Let me tell you something. I’m fucked up

sometimes because I drink. (He turns to Tracey). What’s your reason?
