Sweet Virginia

I'll tell ya, glad you're here

I didn't think you'd make it.

Heard they're closin'

the highway tonight.

Ah, not yet.

Fire's still 65 miles out.

- Yeah?

- Ah!

Thanks. Cheers.

You're sweatin'

like a pig, Barrett.

- What's the buy-in?

- Hundred bucks.

What's the game?

- Texas hold 'em.

- Guy's robbing me blind.

So, what, it's just

the three of us?

Where's, uh, Carl and everybody?

Well, he's up at fort Yukon.

He won't be back for a

couple weeks and, uh

Wade's got his boy tonight.

What the hell is his name, uh..

- Matthew.

- Matthew, yeah.

- Hey, are you in or what?

- Uh, duty calls.

Hello?

Did I wake you?

No, I'm up.

How was your meeting?

Well, all that's left

are the signatures.

- Good.

- Drive was a stretch.

Where are you now?

Lou's.

Okay.

I think I might go to bed.

'Night.

'Night.

All I'm saying is

you have to have options.

That's, that's all.

Without options, you're gonna

end up finding yourself...

- you young kids, you're only out chasin' a buck.

- Well..

Y... you don't know the meaning

of the word principle.

A man's gotta have principles. Am I right?

- That's right.

But think about how much money

you'd make selling this?

Oh, excuse me if

I'm mistaken, but, uh..

People still need to eat

and drink, yeah?

- Alright, but think about the competition, huh?

- Heh.

- You got, you got..

- Are we gonna finish this hand?

Yeah, big... big corporations

and... and chains

franchises breathing

down your neck.

Yeah.

We've got to move

with the times.

Now, when we have a

republican in the white house

come November,

I'll tell you this..

What the f***

are you talkin' about?

Oh!

We can only hope.

And I'll drink to that.

- Cheers.

- How do you live with yourself?

Mm..

This hand will never

change, will it?

Gah.. Uh, excuse me,

we're closed.

- Uh, f***ing kids. No respect for anyone.

- I got it.

No, no, no. No, no, don't do

anything, just... Lou, stop.

Maybe you didn't

hear our friend..

Can I have

the early bird special?

What?

The early bird special?

With a glass of water, please.

You need to go right now.

Mm.. No.

I can't.

Uh... I'm hungry.

Maybe you're not understanding

what I'm saying.

Do you, do you have a wife

that you have to

get home to, Mitchel?

Is it Mitchel?

Is your name Mitchel?

Do I know you?

I don't know.

Just be straight with me.

I'm being straight with you.

Can I have

the early bird special?

Please?

Get the f*** out right now.

Get the f*** out right now.

One, two.

So, what's goin' on?

What the hell was that about?

Why'd you speak

to him like that?

I'd have done a lot

more given the chance.

Well, who the hell was he?

I don't know. I don't

think he was from here.

He was, uh..

Maybe we should call it a night.

Hey!

I told you we're closed.

- Morning, sunshine.

- Hey, Sam.

Is this too loud?

Not even a little bit.

- Coffee fresh?

- Made it this morning.

Ah, you're an angel,

mags. Heaven sent.

- Tell you that too much?

- Nope.

That's a good thing.

Want to know why?

- Why? - 'Cause I ain't

never gonna quit.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Where's Rosie?

- She's on cleaning duty.

- No school today?

- Yeah, not till 9:30.

Oh, I got another

complaint about room 128.

Hey, Sam, I was wondering

could I pick up

a few extra shifts

before the holidays?

- Thinkin' about goin' on a trip.

- Trip?

Where you thinkin' about goin'?

- Don't know yet.

- Hmm..

Any ideas?

If I were you, I'd just

head out to spruce valley.

I was thinkin' somethin'

more like Florida.

- Oh, god.

- What?

You don't go to Florida on purpose, mags.

- Why?

I'll tell you one thing, I'll tell

you that, cause that Florida..

Florida is a,

it's not a trip. It's a..

- It's a death sentence.

- What are you jaded?

Jaded. Spell jaded.

There's no end

to my wisdom, mags.

One of these days you

are gonna realize that.

You comin' to the game?

What kind of question

is that? Am I coming?

What do I always tell you?

"I'm the best goddamn point

guard the mustangs ever had."

It's not just the best,

it's the most generous.

Never underestimate

the power of generosity.

- What are you looking for?

- Papers.

- Where are the papers?

- Right here.

Thank you.

'Course I'm gonna

come to the game.

I wouldn't miss it

for the world.

Good, 'cause I need a ride.

Well played. You got me.

Are you going to

Bernadette's for the wake?

Well..

I think we all should.

- It's real nice of her.

- Hmm.

Considering there was

no public burial.

There's no, there's no words

for what these people

are going through, mags.

No word.

Disgusting, every single time.

Well, go to the store.

I'm sure it's just

two miles down the road.

It's walking distance.

Mr. Barnes,

it's the manager.

Oh, f***ing hell.

How you doing,

Mr. Barnes? It's, um, Sam.

You know, I'm the manager

here at the motel.

I think we... we met

a few days back, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Look, I hate to bother

you, I really do. I, uh..

I like to, I like to

let people sorta..

- What do you want?

- Well, um..

Unfortunately, sir, there's been

a couple of complaints here

about your room, see, and, um..

- W... wait a second.

- I'm just...

- What kind of complaints?

- Well, noise, sir.

There's... there's... there's

quite a bit of noise

I here comin' out of here and

if you could just do me a favor

just try to keep the noise down.
