And off he'd go.
Well, I mean, do you know any song?
- Bye Bye Blackbird.
Oh, sorry.
- Lay it on me, old timer.
- Don't be crazy.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's been a great show!
And now we have a special attraction.
An old, old timer with a new, new song.
He's been playin' all his life
so let's hear it for the old, old timer
and Bye Bye Blackbirdl Take it!
Come on. Sing it.
[Clears throat]
[Hums faintly]
That's real nice.
But I don't think I heard any words.
Got any words?
# Pack up all my cares and woe
# Here I go, singin'low
# Bye bye blackbird
# Sugar sweet, so is she
[both] #Bye bye blackbird
# No-one here can love
# Or understand me
# Oh, what hard luck stories
# They all hand me
# So...
# Make my bed
# And light the light
# I'll be home late tonight
# Blackbird
[Melvin] # Blackbird
[both] # Blackbird bye bye

Greasewood.
Sage.
Nothing like the smell
Greasewood and sage.

Let you off at the Salvation Army?
- [Howard] No. Let me off over there.
- [Melvin] OK.
[Howard] Stop.
- Here?
- This is the place.
What have you got,
a friend who works in the kitchen?
Aah... How do you get out of this thing?
Oh, you just...
Well, I had a good time, buddy.
Oh, sorry.
You'd better take care of that arm.
Yeah.
You got any money?
Oh, boy...
Well...
You're somethin' else.
Well, that's it. That's all I got.
- Take care of yourself, will you?
- Thank you, Melvin.
[Hums softly]
[Coins clink on the concrete]
[# Creedence Clearwater Revival:
Fortunate Son]
# Some folks are born
made to wave the flag
# Ooh, they're red, white and blue
# And when the band
plays Hail to the Chief
#Ooh, they point the cannon at you
# It ain't me, it ain't me,
# I ain't no senator's son
# It ain't me, it ain't me
# I ain't no fortunate one
[music stops]
[Horse whinnies]
- Going to work now?
- No, honey...
I'm workin' nights this week.
Go to sleep.
Hey.
