Nebraska
Hey, partner.
Hold on there, just a second.
Where are you headed, there?
Where are you headed up to?
How are you doing there, bud?
Huh? Are you okay?
Where are you headed?
You headed down the road, there, huh?
Huh?
Where are you coming from?
Yeah?
There he is.
Thank you.
Well, there's the man of the hour.
The what?
The man of the hour.
I... I don't know.
So, you told the sheriff
that you were walking to Nebraska?
That's right.
To get my million dollars.
What million dollars?
"We are now authorized to
pay one million dollars
"to Woodrow T. Grant
of Billings, Montana."
Let me see that.
And your mother won't take me.
"Mega Sweepstakes Marketing."
Dad, this is a total come-on.
It's... It's one
of the oldest gimmicks in the book.
I didn't even know
they still did it anymore.
Well, they can't say it if it's not true.
They're just trying to
sell you magazines.
It says I won.
So, mail it in.
I'll help you.
I'm not trusting the mail
with a million dollars.
You dumb cluck.
You pretty near gave me a heart attack!
Just cool your jets.
This is the second time
I never knew the son of a bitch
even wanted to be a millionaire.
He should have
and worked for it.
What would you do with
a million dollars anyway, Dad?
Buy a new truck.
You can't drive.
I'll get my license back.
Tell me when you do,
so I can stay off the road.
I need an air compressor, too.
Are you still harping on that?
That's because he's a thief.
He's not a thief.
I lent it to him.
Who's Ed Pegram?
A guy I knew back in Hawthorne.
And when did he borrow it?
'74.
That's almost 40 years.
I'd say he stole it.
That's why I need a new one.
Where are you off to now?
Sitting down.
He even sleeps
with that stupid letter.
He's memorized it word for word.
I didn't think he could
memorize anything anymore.
Hey, what's with this casserole?
Oh, it's lasagna.
It's still good, take it.
You know what I'd do
with a million dollars?
I'd put him in a home.
But that's not to say
that I can't set you up
with a whole lot more
reasonable speakers
that'll still blow your mind
if you're worried that
the Wilsons or Paradigms
are going to set you back too much.
You know, the way they
design speakers anymore...
You can't make a mistake.
Okay.
All right, well, yeah, let's...
We need to discuss it
and we'll get back to you.
- Oh.
- I'll let you know.
Let me, uh, give you a card.
Give me a call any time
if you have any more questions.
- All right, thank you.
Excellent.
Mark, Janice, a pleasure.
"Janice."
"Janice." Sorry.
David. Call, line one.
David Grant. Call, line one.
Where did they find him this time?
Way the hell out
on King Avenue by the Albertsons.
I can't take it anymore.
Ross is in there, trying to talk
some sense into him.
Ross.
Hi, David.
What's going on, Dad?
Ask Ma and Ross.
They seem to know it all.
I'm asking you.
Can't get her to turn over.
That's because ifs been
sitting there for 10 years.
Oh, I'll get it running.
He still thinks
he's going to Lincoln to get his money.
Hey, Dad, how come you didn't
fix the truck first or take a bus?
Why did you just start walking?
Don't pull his chain like that.
The poor guy doesn't
know what's going on half the time.
I cut the solenoid wire
and stuck it back in
so that'll slow him down.
And Mom's right.
It's time to think about a home.
She can't
handle him anymore. It's not fair to her.
No. He doesn't need a nursing home.
