Our heroes follow Pat into a cantina and demand their money. Pat buys them a drink, trying to work his way back into their favor. The two men hold firm to their desire for their due wages and soon a fight ensues; instigated by Pat. When fighting Pat individually, the men have no success, but when they work together they are able to knock Pat down into a stupor. Dobbsie grabs Pat’s wallet and takes ''only'' the wages due to him and Curt. This scene is very telling in that it portrays the capitalist as a cheat who cannot be defeated by one lone man. Huston is conveying the message that there is strength in numbers and that in unity the proletariat class can overcome the exploitation of the capitalist. Once they have done this, they now set out with Howard to overcome their static proletariat state. Now, John Huston takes the viewer on a journey to discover what happens to the labor class once the capitalist has been overthrown.
