we wouldn't even have

wheels for our trailer. [Laughing]

We wouldn't even have

a friggin' trailer, right, Gus?

A-A-And Gus, if it was that long ago,

our brains would be smaller.

- We wouldn't even think

about anything like that.

- Oh, man, yeah.

- So, it may not be a ten yet,

- Yeah.

- But it definitely ain't a zero.

- [Horn Honking]

[Laughing]

Hey, hey!

- Hey, Gus, they're pulling over.

- Yeah.

- Hey.

- Hey, Gus.

- Yeah?

- Babes.

You guys need a ride?

Gus, what kind of knot

did you tie?

A double shambo

figure eight.

You went over, under, over.

Uh, the shambo goes over, under, under.

- Hey, Joe, trust me. it's over, under.

- it's under, under.

- Hi.

- [Both] Hi.

Hey, it's really nice

of you girls to give us a ride.

We really appreciate it.

- Yeah.

- you're welcome.

it's really too bad

about your car. I feel bad.

- We feel bad too, yeah.

- Yeah. Hmm.

- Did you report the car stolen?

- Yeah, with the deputy.

' Cause the sheriff was out fishin'.

ain't that a bummer?

Y-You know the... You know your license

plate number, right?

that's the one thing

thatJoe does remember. [Laughs]

that's right.

Uh, "JGTT 542."

- Can you... What is it? "J" what?

- Wait. Could you do that again?

- Maybe I'll bump into

the police, and I can help you.

- Yeah, that's a great idea.

- Thank you. that's nice of you.

- One more time.

- "J" forJoe, "G" for Gus...

- that's me.

"T"for tuna,

"T"for trout.

- "5." I was five years old

the first time I tasted beer.

- Yeah.

And "42" was

Gus' s old football jersey before

he dislocated both his knees.

Yeah, but that's not

how I hurt my knees, you know.

I sleepwalk when I eat red meat.

- Sleepwalk?

- that's right. Hey, listen to this.

One time at a July 4th

barbecue we had...

After it was over,

Gus sleepwalked all the way over

to the 7-11 on the interstate.

Got wiped out by a motorcycle.

Almost killed him. Hey,

true story, I swear to God.

- it's a true story.

- Right, Gus?

- Yeah, right.

- Ex cuse us.

Hey, we'll

talk to you later.

[Laughing, Whooping]

Hey, hey, you know, Joe?

Life is so

unpredictable, man.

One minute,

we're draggin' our boat,

next minute, we're gettin'

a ride with babes!

Hey, you know somethin' else?

I think they find us attractive.

- Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Notice that?

Hey, maybe

they think we're cute.

- Yeah, yeah.

- W-Why not? what's wrong with us?

We have the license plate

number. We know that

it's a blue Barracuda.

And if we see this guy,

we're going to call the police.

- Of course, we're gonna call the police.

- Okay.

- Hey, hey, remember the killer looks?

- The what?

- The killer looks. [Mutters]
