Tex Page #4

Jamie, you're a real good kid,

but you don't know nothing about being

a wife and a mother, so cool out, little girl.

Well, good luck, but personally I don't

think the two of you could raise a cat.

You got a kind word for everybody,

don't you?

Lay off, Mace.

Kid's only five hours old, for God's sake!

Yeah, and probably smarter

than the both of you put together.

- Hey, Jamie!

- Sorry.

Tell Connie I'll baby-sit

as soon as I learn how to drive.

- Sure, I'll tell her.

- What's all that noise up there?

- Hey, congratulations.

- Hit that light.

Hi, Dad.

I'm telling you, Cole jumps on those guys

like a duck on a June bug.

I'd be a little bit uptight too,

if I was 48 before I threw my first kid.

- It's too late for you, Lem.

- Yeah, right!

Hey, listen, you boys got to come by

and see Connie and the kid, all right?

Oh, I almost forgot.

Pass around the cigars, huh?

No, not for me. I'm in training.

You're gonna have to teach my kid

to fast break.

Listen, the next time you farm boys

hit the big city, come on by.

- Sure.

- See you at the fair. OK, Tex?

- Not me, but say hi to Connie.

- OK, buddy.

Take care, Lem.

If you smoke that thing,

don't come hollering to me in the night.

I won't. Last time I smoked one of these,

I damn near fell off my horse.

Hey, you're not going to the fair?

lt'd just be the same thing as last year.

Waste of money.

I'm going, and I'm taking the pickup.

No way. The way you drive,

you wouldn't last ten minutes in Tulsa.

You haven't got a licence, anyway.

I will drive you and I'll give you five bucks.

Don't bother asking for any more.

It's pretty neat about Lem, huh?

Don't see what's so neat about it.

When Connie got pregnant, everybody

acted like it was the end of the damn world.

- I thought you were happy for them.

- Oh, yeah, I'm delighted

Man gets to pump gas all day.

He's married to a girl he could half-stand

when he was going out with her.

He gets to scramble around for money.

You and Jamie, both. I don't see why

the guy can't have a baby if he wants to.

Yeah? Well, it looks like he can,

even if he doesn't want to.

Jamie's smartass enough to make you

crazy, but at least she ain't dumb.

Night.

You want to see the horses?

No, I don't feel like

checking out any horses.

You wanna hit Bill's?

Yeah, why not?

Yeehaa!

If we fall out,

I hope we land in the girlie show.

We can't, man. You have to be 18.

Knock off rocking the car. You hear me?

You morons!

Wait till you get down out of the car!

You idiots!

They don't care how bad

they louse up the ride for everybody else.

If you're gonna kill yourself, you can go

to the Mad Mouse as far as I'm concerned.

We burned him!
