That's where Dad had his little accident.

But how long, total?

Um...

A couple of days, I guess.

- From Billings?

- Yeah.

How far is that?

It's probably about, uh, 750 miles.

It took you two days to drive 750 miles?

What were you driving,

a dump truck or something?

It's a Subaru. Outback.

Hell, I drove up from Dallas one time.

That's 850 miles.

I done that in eight hours.

That's, like, over 100 miles an hour.

Oh, Bart was moving.

Here you go, Davey. Dig in.

Thank you.

Sh*t, two days from Montana.

Son of a b*tch must have

been driving in reverse.

Ray's foot's been bothering him.

Ain't that right, Ray?

It's okay. Just hurts.

Did you get that, Dad?

- Dad?

- Huh?

Uncle Ray's foot hurts.

I know.

Everything else good, though?

Uncle Ray?

Not really.

Kate says they got Ross

on the news out there.

Says he's doing real good.

Yup. Yeah, he's doing great.

Well, good for him.

He always was a go-getter,

wasn't he?

Yup.

Two goddamn days from Billings!

I used to own this garage.

Own it? I thought

the air compressor guy did.

Ed Pegram?

Yeah, I thought he owned it.

We were partners.

Oh.

What happened?

Sold it to him.

For how much?

$800.

- You need something?

- Oh, hi, yeah.

My dad, here, used to own this place.

Oh, yeah?

What you fellows got going on, here?

Oh, we're just replacing

a transmission cooler line.

- You know Ed Pegram?

- Who?

Ed Pegram.

Used to own this place with me.

We don't know him.

Hey, bud.

You're using the wrong wrench.

Come on, Dad. Let's get going.

Good talking to you.

Moron was

using the wrong wrench.

Let's see if I know anyone in here.

It's pretty quiet in here.

Hi, fellas.

What can I get for you today?

Beer.

Okay, what kind of

beer would you like?

Anything's fine.

Coors, if you got it.

I'll have a Mountain Dew.

Okay, we're out of Coors.

The truck doesn't come in until Monday.

Bud's good.

Bud and a Dew, coming up.

Tom Varnik still own this place?

I don't remember that name.

It must have been before my time.

Here we go, guys.

Anything else I can get

for you right now?

No, ma'am.

Okay, holler if you need something.

I used to know everyone in here.

It's where you had your first drink?

No.

Dad used to let me sip his beer.

So, I guess you kept up that

fine family tradition with Ross and me.

You liked it, as I recall.

I was, like, six.

A sip of beer ain't going to kill you

when you're six years old.

I thought you drank.

Come on.

Have a beer with your old man.

Be somebody.

I've been trying to give it up.

What for?

It was starting to...

It just wasn't helping.

And now you're all right.

- Excuse me.

- Yeah.
