Cut Bank Page #4

Nation's capital? What's that?

A list of the county's largest men.

- Jesus Christ! Thirty-five already?

- Did he just take the Lord's name?

Depends on how fat he is.

I mean, really fat?

Really?

Really?

It's like baby Babe Ruth

kind of a thing?

Well, then I want a grand

on Lester's team.

What do you think this is,

arts and crafts?

It's Little League baseball, Oly.

Tell him to sack up!

So, I was told that this is

the coldest town in the nation,

and yet I'm sweating

like a whore in church.

Temperature moderates in summer.

- Have you had lunch yet?

- Forgot it again at home.

What is the best steakhouse you got?

I need a beer.

- There you go, fellas.

- Thank you, darlin'.

For you, and for you.

Yes. Thank you, darling.

United States Postal Inspector

Joe Barret. It's a pleasure.

Oh. It's a pleasure to meet ya.

Okay. Enjoy, Sheriff Vogel,

Inspector Joe.

Appreciate understated establishments.

Best meals always found

in the unlikeliest of places, right?

Best f***in' steak I ever had?

This one.

Harvey's known to be a grill master.

I hear right, you're competin'

in this year's Miss Cut Bank pageant?

Bet you didn't know I was Miss Cut Bank.

Yep.

What?

And I'm telling you this 'cause...

well, between you and me,

you got real good chances of winnin'.

Yeah?

Be one of the most important days

you'll ever live.

Speaking of which,

I got this thing back home.

In our nation's capital?

Bethesda. It's the neighbor town.

Anyway, this thing...

- Do you have kids, Sheriff Vogel?

- No, sir.

Well...

Please. You're the sheriff,

I'm the inspector. We're two of the same.

You call me Joe, I call you...

Sheriff Vogel.

- That a first and last name?

- Just my name.

- Have I offended you somehow, Sheriff?

- No, sir... Joe.

If I seem wooden, it's only because

I'm havin' a little trouble

understanding what your purpose

is here, Joe.

I got a town full of concerned citizens

and a puzzle of a case that needs fittin'

the pieces together.

So, you know, I got big-time duties

I got to get back to.

I'll be brief.

I got this engagement back home top

of the week. Once-in-a-year kind of a thing.

- Sounds pressing.

- Indeed.

Service heard there's a videotape of one

of their employees getting murdered,

sent me out here to pass along

a large reward to the creator of said video.

My hope is that you and I

work together expeditiously,

get this deal done, so we can all get back

to our pressing matters. What sayest?

Reasonable man. I do like you,

Sheriff Vogel. Really, I do.

- Have you seen the video?

- Yes, sir... Joe.

Does your mailman get murdered in it?

Evidence for a court.

All I need is to see the mailman's
