After robbing a small bank and shooting up the town , he led the posse on a merry chase thru the desert. On the second day of the chase he was apprehended : sheriff-to-bandit (in english) "WHERE IS THE MONEY ?" bandit-to-sheriff (in spanish) " I SPEAK NO ENGLISH !" So the sheriff gets an interpreter from the posse , the only man among them who speaks Spanish: sheriff-to-interpreter : "ASK HIM WHERE THE MONEY IS. " interpreter-to-bandit :" HE WANTS TO KNOW ,WHERE IS THE MONEY ?" bandit-to-interpreter :" I'LL NEVER TELL !" interpreter-to-sheriff : "HE SAYS HE'LL NEVER TELL ,SENOR" At this point , the sheriff looses his cool . His town has been shot up ,his bank robbed , two days in the desert tracking this guy , and now he says he'll never tell. So he takes his pistol ,jams it under the bandits chin , and with the veins standing out on his neck, screams "TELL HIM TO TELL ME WHERE THE MONEY IS , OR I'LL BLOW OUT HIS BRAINS RIGHT NOW !" interpreter-to-bandit : "TELL WHERE THE MONEY IS , OR THE SHERIFF WEEL KEEL YOU RIGHT HERE" bandit-to-interpreter : " OK ,THE MONEY IS UNDER THE BIG TREE AT THE PASS!" interpreter-to-sheriff : "HE SAYS YOU AINT GOT THE BALLS ...." .
