The Last Ride Page #3

Well, your oil was fine,

but she was thirsty.

That's $8 even.

I'll be right back

with your change.

Hey, you got a snack machine

or anything in there?

No, it's busted.

Got some leftover

Christmas candy though.

You can have all that you want.

I don't eat that crap.

Is there any place I can get

some supper around here?

There's a diner about

10 miles up the road.

Any damn good?

No, but it's all there is.

Well, let's go, boy.

I'm about to starve to death.

Happy motoring, buddy.

Turn on the radio.

Pancakes and

cheese Pancakes and cheese

Change it.

Ridin' through the

jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

Aw, hell, change that.

As I sit here

tonight, the jukebox playing

Oh, yessa.

The tune about

the wild side of life

As I listen to words

you are sayin'

It brings memories

when I was a trustful wife

Are you worried

about the weather?

Yes, sir, I am.

Hell, this ain't nothing.

I left Memphis

in a tornado once.

Rolled into Gulfport in the

middle of a damn hurricane.

Well, I just don't want the

road to freeze on us, is all.

What time do I have

to be in Charleston?

7:
00 tomorrow night.

Easy.

More coffee, please.

You got a name, boy?

Silas Combs.

Where you from?

Sorbonne.

Sore Bone.

I ain't never heard of it.

It's down by Venable.

Sound like a hellhole.

Thank you.

It's not so bad.

This is WGN Chicago.

Now, here's one of

last year's biggest hits.

(mo, Com Heart,

written by Hank Williams.

I tried so

hard, my dear, to show

that you're my every dream

What do you think of this song?

It's all right, I guess.

I hate it.

Now we talking.

Sure you don't want a beer?

No, sir. Thank you.

There's no way we're gonna

make it to Bristol.

I don't even think we'll make

Knoxville, the way it's snowing.

What the hell time is it?

10:
00.

Just get to Chattanooga.

I know a hotel there.

Sir, that's barely

100 miles we're making.

It's gonna be hard to catch up

tomorrow, especially in this.

Sorbonne, are you being

paid to think or drive?

Answer me.

Drive.

Good. Then we

understand each other.

Why don't you

swing low, sweet chariot

Stop and let me ride

Swing low, chariot

Stop and let me ride

Rock me, Lord Rock me,

Lord Calm and easy

I got a home on the other side

Why don't you swing low,

sweet chariot

Stop and let me ride

Swing low, chariot

Stop and let me ride

Rock me, Lord Rock me,

Lord Calm and easy

I got a home on the other side

Swing, swing, swing, swing

Good evening, sir.

Do you have a reservation

with us this evening?

No, sir.

We're just...

I'm sorry.

We're all full up.

Good evening, sir.

Welcome back to The Belmont.

Thought you were all full up.

I believe we just

had a cancellation.
