He hands her some money and his car keys.

CLARENCE:

Go to the liquor store -

(to Cliff)

Where is there a liquor store around here?

CLIFF:

Uh, yeah... there's a party store down 54th.

CLARENCE:

(to Alabama)

Get a six-pack of something imported. It's hard to tell you what to get

'cause different places have different things. If they got Fosters, get

that, if not, ask the guy at the thing what the strongest imported beer he

has. Look, since you're making a beer run, would you mind too terribly if

you did a foot run as well. I'm f***in' starvin' to death. Are you hungry

too?

ALABAMA:

I'm pretty hungry. When I went to the store I was gonna get some

Ding-Dongs.

CLARENCE:

Well, f*** that sh*t, we'll get some real food. What would taste good.

(to Cliff)

What do you think would taste good?

CLIFF:

I'm really not very -

CLARENCE:

You know what would taste good? Chicken. I haven't had chicken in a while.

Chicken would really hit the spot about now. Chicken and beer, definitly,

absolutely, without a doubt.

(to Cliff)

Where's a good chicken place around here?

CLIFF:

I really don't know.

CLARENCE:

You don't know the chicken places around where you live?

(to Alabama)

Ask the guy at the place where a chicken place is.

He gives her some more money.

CLARENCE:

This should cover it, Auggie-Doggie.

ALABAMA:

Okee-dokee, Doggie-Daddy.

She opens the door and starts out. Clarence turns to his dad as the door shuts.

CLARENCE:

Isn't she the sweetest goddamned girl you ever saw in your whole life? Is

she a four alarm fire, or what?
