[PEOPLE WHOOPING]

I got a job.

It's in Kansas.

Did you come all the way here

to tell me that?

What kind of f***ing job

you got in Kansas?

Nathan can't have them, you know that.

I can't have them.

Is that the surprise?

I can't take you to Kansas. I'm sorry.

Hey, what's going on?

She wants us to have the kids

because she's got a f***ing job in Kansas.

- They are yours.

- F*** you, b*tch.

Settle down, both of y'all.

Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.

Get it good. Come on, brother.

Go on. Wait. Nah. Nah, nah.

Go, go, go. I'm letting you have it.

I'm letting you have it.

All right, fine, fine, fine.

Watch out, watch out,

Watch out, watch out. You b*tch.

Watch out, watch out, watch out.

Watch out.

Oh, sh*t.

Hey, you decided to come, yeah?

I mean, you like me, you know.

It's obvious.

You're not part of this, b*tch.

[GROANS]

Hey!

Stop, stop, stop, stop.

Can you stop f***ing around and help me?

Yeah.

- You wanna go get the trunk?

- Here.

Hey.

[JAKE] Right here.

- Are you coming with us?

- Yes, ma'am.

You must be the little redneck Jake found.

- Star, ma'am.

- That's your real name?

- Yes, ma'am.

- How old are you?

- Eighteen.

- So you're a grown woman now?

- Yeah, I guess.

[JAKE] Open it, open it.

- Where's that accent from?

- Texas.

So you're a Southern girl.

A real American honey like me.

You know that song?

No.

Get off, get off, get off, get off.

You know how to work hard?

Business is tough.

I only take hard workers.

- Shut the f*** up.

- [KID LAUGHS]

Yeah, I can work hard.

- We're getting in.

- Get in the car.

That's what I'm doing.

[CREW LAUGHING]

You got anyone who's gonna miss you?

Not really.

Okay, good. You're hired.

[CREW CHEERING]

There's a new girl!

I guess she decided to show up.

[GIRL] Now you gotta turn

and lick his collar grease.
