I don't give a f*** what you do.

Riding up and down the road

don't make sense.

What do you think will happen?

We'll get in trouble?

I was planning to sell some to them

country sons of b*tches in Arkansas.

Man, I don't like

this Arkansas sh*t.

We'll be in and out.

Don't worry.

We're not building a house.

It's not a problem.

What are you worried about?

What the f*** do you think?

I don't get you.

Why don't you loosen up

and have some fun?

Why don't you get high

with Ray and me?

Don't you want to feel good?

This is the biggest thing

to ever happened to us.

And you just sit there

like a little brown turd.

Goddamn it!

Watch yourself, Ray.

Listen up, motherf***er.

Listen up!

This is what will happen. We will

go to Houston and sell the sh*t...

because this little $15,000

won't last.

Until then,

I will hold onto the blow.

And, Ray, I don't want to hear

any more bullshit out of you...

or her.

You son of a b*tch!

F***ing son of a b*tch!

Why don't you

just go to sleep, f***er?

You forgot just one f***ing thing.

You forgot about the money.

I have all the goddamn money.

You keep that little $15,000, Ray.

He's right, baby.

We'll sell it in Houston.

Think of all the money.

We'll be okay.

Pluto knows people in Chicago.

We can live off that money

a long time.

Come on, baby,

it's going to be okay.

We can buy all the blow we want

when we get there.

And we'll be safe.

Pluto will take care of us.

We'll be safe, baby.

This is really beautiful.

It's as green as hell.

You know I'm a country boy.

What crap. You were born in L.A.

Malibu.

What the f***?

Howdy. Dale Dixon.

Welcome to Star City.

We got a lot to do,

so follow me to the motel...

you can unpack,

and we'll get something to eat.

When I saw you drive by, I knew

you were the boys from California.

Cops looks the same everywhere, I guess.

Follow me.

Oh, sh*t.

You boys are in for a treat.

Fern, can we get some more biscuits?

- Sure, Hurricane.

- And more coffee.

Hurricane?

Some folks call me that.

I never figured out why.

We can wait in the woods.

When the bad folks show up...

we'll put the stopper

in the bottle.

They'll be sorry they came to Star City.

This is good.

My mother used to make food like this.

Thanks. How's Walter?

He had gallbladder surgery...

Good for him. You know,

you boys have my full cooperation.

Me and my two deputies...

we'll take turns watching the place

around the clock.

So you boys can just relax.

Drink beer, chase chicks, whatever.

We'll help.

- We'll help you.

- Suit yourself.

Another thing. Old Man Malcolm.

I guarantee he don't know jack-sh*t

about what his nephew did.

You talked to him?

Not yet. I just know. There aren't

Billy Bob Thornton

Billy Bob Thornton (born August 4, 1955) is an American actor, filmmaker, singer, songwriter, and musician. Thornton had his first break when he co-wrote and starred in the 1992 thriller One False Move, and received international attention after writing, directing, and starring in the independent drama film Sling Blade (1996), for which he won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor. He appeared in several major film roles in the 1990s following Sling Blade, including Oliver Stone's neo-noir U Turn (1997), political drama Primary Colors (1998), science fiction disaster film Armageddon (1998), the highest-grossing film of that year, and the crime drama A Simple Plan (1998), which earned him his third Oscar nomination. In the 2000s, Thornton achieved further success in starring dramas Monster's Ball (2001), The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), and Friday Night Lights (2004); comedies Bandits (2001), Intolerable Cruelty (2003), and Bad Santa (2003); and action films Eagle Eye (2008) and Faster (2010). In 2014, Thornton starred as Lorne Malvo in the first season of the anthology series Fargo, earning a nomination for the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or TV Movie at the Emmy Awards and won Best Actor in a Miniseries or TV Film at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards. In 2016, he starred in an Amazon original series, Goliath, which earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama. Thornton has been vocal about his distaste for celebrity culture, choosing to keep his life out of the public eye. However, the attention of the media has proven unavoidable in certain cases, his marriage to Angelina Jolie being a notable example. Thornton has written a variety of films, usually set in the Southern United States and mainly co-written with Tom Epperson, including A Family Thing (1996) and The Gift (2000). After Sling Blade, he directed several other films, including Daddy and Them (2001), All the Pretty Horses (2000), and Jayne Mansfield's Car (2012). Thornton has received the President's Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, a Special Achievement Award from the National Board of Review, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has also been nominated for an Emmy Award, four Golden Globes, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards. In addition to film work, Thornton began a career as a singer-songwriter. He has released four solo albums and is the vocalist of the blues rock band The Boxmasters. more…
