Yeah. Put hair and horns on a stick of

dynamite, I could ride the son of a b*tch.

Is that what he told you?

No, sir.

Just said you used to ride rodeo.

He didn't talk about you very much.

Well, I don't spend a whole lot of my

time, wondering about him either.

But he wanted you to come down

here though and work for me.

Wanted you to to reach back to your roots,

get to know the old man. Is that it?

Find out where you come from?

This more of my idea, than his.

Yeah, but he let you.

Your daddy, him know where you are?

Oh damn! You run out from home,

didn't you? Am I right or am I rilla?

No, I didn't.

I didn't run out from home.

- No.

- No.

I just dropped out of college

for a while, that's all.

Good for you bad guy.

How do you like your Jimmy boy run off?

Turn about fair play, Jimmy?

How do you like it now,

the shoe's on the other foot.

How do you like it, Jimmy?

Hey, I said I didn't

run off from home, okay.

I didn't run off from home.

Well, you run off from

college, same damn thing, eh?

- No, no, it's not.

- Well, it is to me.

Sure, Jimmy right too.

He.. he, old Jimmy.

I think this could be a problem, try to...

I can't fix it.

J.T., you go get us another one.

Fill it up, special.

Fill it up, special.

Are you all going

down south to Mexico?

No, we're shut here

buying gasoline, alright.

- Hit the windshield alright?

- Hit the windshield alright.

'Cause our car broke down, so we thought

maybe we catch a ride with you all.

No sir.

- Wind it up old man, we gotta go.

- Wind it up. We gotta go.

Why you a damn parrot?

- $ 55.80.

- $ 55.80?

For you damn parrot.

- Hey, I'll gladly buy the gas.

- Alright. Okay.

Perry the old thief!

So where are you guys from?

Aw, you know, here and there.

Well, right now just thought we head

down to Mexico to see the sights.

I see you got some

beer right there too.

Yeah, drink it up, no need to ask.

I like that hat.

Slick.

Thanks.

Yeah, they had something.

All the bull-riders are wearing

fancy buckets like at this season.

You riding bulls, huh?

Well, man's gotta eat, I reckon.

I don't know that I even

have nerve to get on one.

Does take nerve,

I admit it.

You ain't short on nerve,

I'll say that for you.

Say buddy, I don't remember saying

that beer was community property.

Never mind.

You got plenty.

So what's the meanest

bull you ever rode?

The meanest?

The meanest... Tell us about it.

I'd like to hear it myself.

Oh, that would be...

one by name of Midnight.

Big black bull. Somebody cut

his tail off when he was just a baby.

Well, he never forgot it, you know.

Maybe embarrassed him

or something, I don't know.

I tell you this.

Yeah, he was a mean one...
