The Last Ride Page #6

---

My God, what a headache.

Because the

king of beers is leading all the rest

When you say Budweiser,

you've said it all

Is this your business, son?

Driving people

around the country?

No, sir.

This is the first time.

Fact, this is the first time

I've been out of Alabama.

What is your business then?

I work at the garage.

Ray's?

Yes, sir.

You like it?

Not really.

No, Ray screams a whole lot.

Thinks I'm worthless.

Well, there's no surprise

there. Ray's an a**hole.

What would you rather be doing?

I don't know.

You don't think about what you'd

rather be doing? Why not?

Well, I ain't gonna get to, anyway.

I don't see the point.

Boy, you're gonna have to pull over.

I gotta take a leak.

Do you mind if I ask

what business you're in?

Yes, I damn hell do mind.

What the hell business

you think I'm in?

I reckon you're in

the music business.

You really don't know

who I am, son?

Sir?

Wells isn't my real name.

It's just a traveling name.

Why don't you like music?

Everybody likes music.

I just don't.

There's no reason.

You don't ever

listen to the radio?

I don't got a radio.

You want one?

I guess.

No radio, huh?

Nope.

How about a girl? You got

yourself a girl, Sorbonne?

No, sir.

You think there might be

a connection there?

Sir?

I asked you not to

call me "sir" anymore.

You do like girls, right?

Yes, sir.

I mean, yeah.

Hugging and kissing, that sort

of thing, that appeal to you?

Yeah.

I'm gonna tell you

a little secret.

They love to dance.

Oh, they love it when you

make them swing a little bit.

Make them cry a little bit.

You don't think I'm riding in

the back of that Cadillac there

on account of my

good looks now, do you?

What is your real name, then?

It's Luke.

Just Luke, ol' buddy.

Oh, hell.

Well, you gonna

have to make a move.

I can't. I can't pass

this many cars.

What the hell is

an old truck like that

doing out here

in the first place?

You got to do it, Sorbonne.

Mr. Wells, I can't

pass this many people.

We can take them on the right.

Mr. Wells...

Just do it!

He's exiting up here.

I can see the turnoff.

Sorbonne,

I got some news for you.

You're gonna stay

on your side of town

unless you learn how to

start making decisions.

Or let me put it

in another way.

If I'm not in Charleston,

West Virginia by 7:00,

not only are you

not getting paid, boy,

your ass is

walkin' back to Alabama.

Oh, man.

Oh, my God!

Sorbonne!

Oh, my God!

Get your ass turned around, get

over to the side of the road.

Right now.

Sir, are you all right?

I been better, son.

I been better.

Let me see your license.

You haven't been

drinking, have you?

No, sir, I have not.
