Okay, cowboy, you got yourself a ride.

Come on, get in.

Son of a b*tch.

(Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash

playing on radio)

You banged it up pretty good,

how did you do that?

I was in the Marine Corps.

No sh*t?

First Force Recon.

Last unit to leave Vietnam.

April, '71.

I got the same one right here.

Where were you stationed?

I was with the 24th MAU in Lebanon.

- The truck bomb thing? You were there?

- Yeah.

Holy sh*t. You weren't in that building

they hit, were you?

Damn.

- You're one lucky son of a b*tch.

- I know.

And I know I'm lucky.

Two hundred and forty-one guys weren't.

- Thanks for the ride.

- Anytime, soldier.

Anytime.

You're not going in here, are you?

Yeah, I got to take care of a little business.

- And I wanna buy you a drink.

- Thanks, but I should get going.

I nearly greased your can back there.

Now, least I can do is buy you a beer.

- Thanks, but I should get my car.

- I'll tell you what.

Let me buy you a beer

and then I'll help you get your car.

That's okay. You've been awful kind.

You've done enough already.

Now, I said, I'd help you get your car.

Really, it's okay.

You don't wanna drink with me?

- I'm not good enough to buy you a beer?

- No, it's not that. I just...

Then what the f***'s your problem?

Us Marines, we got to stick together.

Come on.

Okay, soldier, you're right.

I can get my car later.

That's it. Now that's more like it.

All right. Come on.

(Lively country music playing)

What will you have?

I'd like a shot of Jim Beam

and a bottle of Bud.

How about you?

Same.

You know,

that never should have happened...

what happened to you

and our boys over there in Lebanon.

Yeah, well...

you get in there,

you just gotta give it your best shot, right?

Right.

- Semper Fi.

- Semper Fi.

That'll be $6.50.

Have you got a guy here named Wayne?

- You mean the owner?

- Yeah, that's him. Wayne Brown.

(Beer)

Sorry, he's out.

Damn. Probably out looking for me.

I was supposed to be here last week.

(Beer)

I can call him if it's important.

Would you? I'd appreciate that.

You tell him

Lyle from Dallas finally showed up.

- He'll know who you mean.

- Sure thing.

- You know, I never did catch your name.

- Michael.

- Well, it's nice meeting you, Michael.

- Likewise.

Listen, I gotta use the head

and I'll be right back.

Yeah, don't piss on the seat even if they did.

It's not lucky.

(Beer)

Did you just pick somebody up

just outside of town?

- Yeah, I did.

- Where is he?

Now, Wayne, why would you be inquiring?

(Red Rock Bar)

(Budweiser)

Look, why don't you check out back
