Nebraska Page #6

You know, the last time I saw you,

you was just a little shaver.

I used to give you candy bars

down at the garage

when you were about this high.

Thank you.

And apparently, my dad used to

give you air compressors.

How's that?

Nothing.

Hey, Dad,

I'm going to the bathroom.

Don't say

anything about the money.

Huh?

Don't say anything about the money.

You still living up in Billings?

Yeah.

What brings you down here?

I'm just passing through.

Goddamn, Woody

Grant is a millionaire!

Who would have thought it, huh?

The next round is on Woody.

Come on, Dad.

Did you see the look

on their faces?

Yeah, I saw.

Did you see the look

on those fellas, faces?

Well, good morning, boys.

Slept in a little late, did you?

Morning.

Davey, get yourself

a chair from over there.

And Woody, you sit right on down here.

Right there, yeah.

Hungry?

Yeah, but it would be great

if you have some, uh...

Some coffee.

Got a call from

Lowell Meyerson this morning.

And Mary Jurak.

Woody, here,

is the talk of the town.

Is that right?

Why didn't you tell us

you was rich, Woody?

David said not to.

He's not rich.

You could have told us the real reason

you were coming through town.

We're just tickled for you.

You got it on you?

Yeah, we sure would like to see

what a million dollars looks like.

We still got to go to Lincoln to get it.

Goddamn, you hit the Powerball!

Whoo!

Show us the ticket, Uncle Woody.

Honestly, he didn't win anything.

I didn't win anything.

I don't blame you, Woody.

I wouldn't broadcast it either.

Not until I had it in the bank.

You have to watch out for buzzards, too.

Bart and me, we can drive you.

Sure.

We could get you to Lincoln in an hour.

Lincoln is over 200 miles.

Okay, an hour-and-a-half.

How long would it take you?

A day-and-a-half.

Must be nice,

winning that kind of scratch.

We're real proud of you, Woody.

And I know Ma and Pa

would've been real proud, too.

Hell, yeah, it must be nice.

Is it nice, Dad?

Is what nice?

Winning all that money?

Yeah, pretty nice.

Hey there, Woody. Remember me?

Bernie Bowen, how you doing?

Pretty good.

That's what I hear.

Everybody's saying

how Woody Grant's a millionaire.

Well, that's the most exciting news

around here for ages!

It's no big deal.

No big deal?

Jeez! There's a guy

living the life of Reilly.

A million here, a million there.

Oh, the newspaper's gonna

do a big write-up on you.

I'm gonna get my

picture in the paper?

You bet you will.

Dad, here's the bus.

Okay. Well, good seeing

you then, Woody.

We're all real happy for you

and real pleased you thought

to stop back home

and share the big news.

Thanks, Bernie.

Hey, watch your wallet!
