Beer for My Horses Page #5

That Mexican guy you arrested?

His name's Tito.

And his brother,

he's gonna kill you.

Somebody's gonna kill me?

That's big news, Johnny.

- Thanks.

Here's some news for you.

You're not a rapper.

So pull your pants up.

- What...?

You know, you don't know

who you're messing with.

They'll kill you

if you're ain't careful.

You let me worry about that.

Boogie.

They'll kill you.

Hey, Lonnie.

- Hey, Rack. Heh!

That's my partner.

- Well.

Twist my nipples, look who's here.

- Hey, darling.

You lookin' a little rough

this morning, Rack.

Oh, I'm all right.

- Where's Cammie?

She went on vacation.

- Really? Where'd she go?

I'm not sure.

You-all break up again?

Yeah.

- I already heard.

You want your usual, baby?

And then Junior farted,

and I knew something big

was gonna happen.

Then, about that time,

the tip of the Zebco

just went straight down

in the water.

And I just set the hook.

And I fought that son of a b*tch

for about 20 minutes.

It was a snapping turtle.

Rack, I am surprised

you even let him carry a gun.

Do you hear Annie Streets

was back in town?

No, really?

- Yeah.

Her momma

got the Alzheimer's,

and she flew in from Chicago,

help take care of her.

Well, what about her stepdad?

Don't he take care of her?

Buck Baker? Sh*t.

All he cares about

is making money.

He's too busy

trying to bully farmers

into selling him their land

for a dime on the dollar.

Hell, he practically owns

every farm in the county now.

He never got Daddy's farm.

Well, he's one of the few

that stood up to him.

Rest his soul.

When I was dating Annie,

me and him never got along.

You know,

I always just knew

you two would get married

someday.

She wanted to go off

and see the big city.

There's no way I was leaving.

You've still got it for her.

You always have.

Why don't you go see her?

She probably got some

big high-dollar boyfriend

back in Chicago.

I saw her here the other day.

She didn't have no ring

on her finger.

We had our time together

a long time ago.

Anybody ever tell you

you are stone lazy?

Annie is the only female

ever come close

to giving you a run

for your money.

And that's what you were

missing in your life,

in case youse a-wondering.

So why don't you leave me

a big fat tip,

get off your sorry ass,

and go see her?

And take her something nice.

It's a little cool

out here.

Here you go.

Keep you warm.

Oh, my God.

Momma?

Joe Bill Racklin.

What in the world?

Hi, Annie.

What are you doing out here?

Oh, I don't know. I guess

I just wanted to come out here

and see what a big-city girl

looks like these days.

Heh! Oh, yeah, well,

what do you think?

Well, she looks a lot

like a, uh, small-town girl
