Okay. But it's gonna

be a quick stop.

Fine, okay.

I'm still waiting here,

and it's half past two

And I don't wanna

love you, but I do

I haven't seen

a place like this

since I left Texas.

Isn't this fun?

That place with

a little dance floor

Said you'd never

been in there before

Y'all want a drink?

No, thanks.

I'll have a Wild Turkey

straight up and

a Coke back, please.

Thelma?

Oh, what?

Tell me something.

Is this my vacation

or isn't it?

I mean, God,

you're as bad as Darryl.

I'm sorry, it's just

I'm just not used to

seeing you this way.

I... I haven't seen you

this way in a while.

You're usually so sedate.

Well, I've had it

up to my ass with sedate.

You said you and me

is gonna get out of town,

and for once,

just really let

our hair down.

Well, darling, look out,

'cause my hair

is coming down.

All right.

I've changed my mind.

I'm gonna have a margarita

and a shot of Cuervo

on the side.

All right!

Get me another one.

I don't want to

love you, but I do

Hey.

Now, what are a couple

of Kewpie dolls like you

doing in a place like this?

We left town

for the weekend...

Minding our own business.

Why don't you try?

...'cause we wanted to

try and have some fun.

And 'cause Louise here

is mad at her boyfriend

'cause...

We just wanted to

get something to eat.

Well, you come

to the right place.

Do you like chili?

They got good chili.

Harlan, you bothering

these poor girls?

Hell, no, I was

just being friendly.

It's a good thing

they're not all

as friendly as you.

Hey, your name's

Harlan? I got

an uncle named Harlan.

You do?

Uh-huh.

Is he a funny uncle?

'Cause if he is,

then he and I got

something in common.

I don't mean

to be rude,

but I got something

I got to talk to my friend

about in private.

I... I understand.

I didn't mean

to bother you.

It's just hard not to

notice two such pretty

ladies as yourselves.

You better dance with me

before you leave,

or I will never forgive you.

Sure, that'd be fun.

Jeez, Louise,

that wasn't very nice.

Can't you tell

when somebody's

hitting on you?

So what if he was?

It's all your years of

waiting tables has made

you jaded, that's all.

Maybe.

Well, just relax, will you?

You're making me nervous.

All right!

I woke up in a hotel

I didn't know what to do

I turned the TV on

and wrote a letter to you

That's a good band.

The news was talking

about a dragnet

up on the interstate

Seems they were looking

for a Cadillac

with Tennessee plates

Wonder if Darryl's home yet.

Wonder if Jimmy's

got back.

Why don't you just

tell him to get lost

once and for all?

Why don't you ditch that

no-good husband of yours?
