DICKEY:

I think you're just yellow.

BANDIT:

Wonderful psychology. Why don't you

say something about my mom?

(then)

Excuse me.

Bandit drives toward the starting line for another event.

Kyle and Dickey run alongside.

KYLE:

(coughs, then)

Look, you make this little run for

me, I'll buy you a new rig.

BANDIT:

(indicating truck)

Last year, this was a new rig.

KYLE:

But it wasn't a Kenworth.

Dickey turns to his father, stunned, as Bandit stops the

truck.

DICKEY:

(sotto)

Pop, a K-Whopper's worth seventy

thou.

BANDIT:

(correcting)

Seventy-two five.

(then)

Why do you want this barley pop so

bad?

DICKEY:

He's thirsty.

Bandit smiles at Dickey again.

KYLE:

I got a boy running in the Peach

Tree Classic tomorrow and when he

wins, I wanna celebrate in style.

BANDIT:

How much style?

KYLE:

Four hundred cases worth.

(a long pause)

BANDIT:

(a beat)

You paying for the gas?

Kyle smiles that unwinning smile and takes out a huge wad of

bills, as we:

CUT TO:

GEORGIA COUNTRYSIDE - DAY

Picturesque. Bandit's eighteen-wheeler rolling down the

Georgia highway, past lush green meadows and endless acres

of pines.

Over this:

A WOMAN'S VOICE

Whaddya mean, we're not going to the

show tonight?
