I'd love to sit here and talk

to you all day long.

You know that, don't you, Boyd?

But we got to get on the road,

so why don't you just let us go?

You know you ran

that stop sign back there.

I've been runnin' that

since I been drivin', Russell.

Everybody runs that damn sign.

- I know I do.

- [Laughter]

- See?

- Damn it, Boyd.

Look, Lonnie Earl,

I understand that and all,

but... you just shouldn't do it

right in front of us.

Just look at you...

you're sittin' there,

you're drinkin' that beer like

we was at the drive-in movies

and I wasn't wearin'

this here badge.

This is my first beer

of the day. I swear to God.

- I'll vouch for him.

- See?

- Me too, Boyd.

- Me three.

Come on, Russell.

Everybody makes mistakes.

Come on, Russell. Sh*t.

You know how fond of beer

you are, don't you?

[Laughing] Hey, now.

Right?

Isn't he, Boyd?

[Laughing] Oh, he hates it.

Swear to God.

- [Laughter]

- What are you laughin' at?

Why don't I just hop up

on top of this truck

and unstrap a couple cases

and give it to y'all,

and let's call it even...

you know, as friends?

I wouldn't call that even.

I'd call that a bribe.

[Doors close,

indistinct voices on radio]

Buckle up!

[Introduction to "Stickshifts

and Safety Belts" plays]

[Glass breaks]

Stick shifts

and safetz belts

Bucket seats

have all got to go

When we're

driving in the car

It makes mz babz seem

so far

I need zou here with me

Not waz over

in a bucket seat

I need zou

to be here with me

Not waz over

in a bucket seat

[Train whistle blows]

If anybody's got to piss,

let's do it now,

'cause we don't stop again

for a while.

You want me to get

these bottles and toss 'em?

Well, hell, no.

We can get deposit on them.

Just pump the gas.

Yes, sir.

Lonnie Earl, can I get

some wine coolers?

Why can't you drink beer

like everybody else?

I told you...

it's full up in there.

We ain't got room

for a bunch of wine coolers.

I wouldn't mind havin'

one of them wine coolers.

[Horn honks in distance]

[Sighs]

Buy some damn

wine coolers, then.

I don't know why you like

to drink them things.

Sissy sh*t.

Hell, yeah, girls.

There you go.

You too, Roy.

Just pile it the hell on there.

I got plenty of money.

I'm Mr. Deep Pockets.

Does anybody else here

want me to buy 'em anything?

[Candy laughs]

Ooh, look!

Bob Barker is datin' another one

of them Barker Beauties.

That old man can't keep it

in his pants.

He ought to take his own advice

and get it neutered.

I say more power to him.

You would.

At least he's gettin' him some.

RO Y:
Darlene! Hey, Darlene!

It's an Oklahoma shot glass.

You got one of these?

No, we don't.

I doubt you're gonna find
