solo at the Christmas Jubilee.

I'm sorry. I can't do that.

- Yes, you can.

- No.

You know what? I really

gotta go, Miss Williams.

My daddy's gonna be

waiting for me at home.

Go on.

Hello?

I don't hear from you in six years...

and you call me out of the

blue because you need my help.

Don't blame that on me.

You're the one who married Kelly

and stopped returning my calls.

You're not still bitter, are you?

Maybe. How is she?

I don't know. We're divorced.

Good. She was such a tramp.

I can't believe you married her and

dumped me. That's what you get.

Okay, okay.

Hey, pull up, It was high school.

Am I forgiven?

That depends. Can you help

me with my school situation?

- So you need sponsorship?

- Yes.

A call came in just as I

was leaving a meeting..

With a company that's in

the middle of a PR nightmare.

They could use some

goodwill right now.

Actually, in a town like yours.

So your timing may be perfect.

Tell me about it.

Can't do that until

we have a contract.

- You don't trust me?

- No, no, no, it's not that.

I have to protect my

interests, that's all.

Tell you what.

I'll come down with a contract,

you get your people to sign...

and I'm sure I can pull in...

at least a hundred grand for

your school and its event.

$100,000. That would be great.

How soon can you get here?

You need the money

right away, don't you?

Yeah. So you're willing

to drive down to Alabama?

I will drive over tomorrow.

We'll get the contract signed,

then I'll have to leave...

but I'll be back for the event.

That would be fantastic.

Oliver, thank you so much.

See you soon.

- You got it.

- Bye.

Child, that Powerball is going up.

Hello? Hey, I need y'all to

go get me some scratch-offs.

- Yeah, and play the numbers for me.

- Can you help me?

That Powerball has

gotten really high.

Play number 22...

- Excuse me.

- 17,5 and 6.

Go play them numbers, and bring

me a bunch of scratch offs. Yeah.

Just two, three of 'em.

Don't spend a lot of money.

I need some help!

Hold on, 'cause somebody's

screaming at me.

I'm getting ready to

choke her. Hold on.

Lady, you gonna need a damn

doctor if you holler at me again.

Do you understand?

Now, what can I help you with?

- I need a watch for my husband.

- A men's watch.

A men's watch. You know,

I like it with a leather band.

- You know, a nice thin watch.

- Here are some men's...

Oh, hell. It's time for my break.

- Time for my break.

- Break?

No, wait.

- You're so rude.

- Bye, bye, bye.

- You rude as hell. You rude as hell.

- Please. I need a watch.

Get out of my way. I'm trying

to go to the break room.

Wait! Come back!

You still here?

He called me back.
