Oh, you're gonna kick my ass.

Yeah. I could do it, too.

I'd just push you

down a flight of stairs,

punch you in the kidney.

You'd better have eyes

in the back of your head.

This is not... We don't have time

for ass-kicking stops.

You just say you're sorry,

and let's get going.

- I'm not sorry!

- I'm not talking to you.

- Say you're sorry.

- No. I'm not gonna say I'm sorry.

That's like saying I'm sorry

that the sky's blue.

Come on, man. You just...

You just insulted her dead friend. Huh?

Come on. Suck it up.

Say you're sorry. Let's go.

I'm sorry that you got so upset.

Okay?

No. That's not an apology.

But it's pretty close.

Come on, let's go.

That's not an apology.

Come on. Let me in.

Dude, let me in.

I can't.

Just press the key thing, man.

The keys are in the car.

Sh*t.

What the f*** were you thinking?

I was thinking I had two f***ing nut cases

throwing sh*t, getting into a fight.

- We didn't fight.

- This is not my fault.

Well, it's sure as sh*t not our fault.

We didn't lock the keys in the car.

Whatever. We need a coat hanger.

Coat hanger's not gonna work

on a late model car.

You need a Slim Jim.

Well, you know what?

I don't have a Slim Jim.

Thank you.

So, they went on this worldwide tour,

and they... they got...

'cause they got this contract.

And they got to meet the queen,

and they got to meet the president.

And after that,

Randy got the guitar from his daddy,

who got it from his granddaddy,

who got it from Elvis.

Elvis.

Come on.

It's true.

That guitar's worth a lot of money.

She's a beaut, don't you think?

Yeah. I already got one, though.

- You do?

- Yeah.

Me, too.

That's great. What color?

So, how is it over there?

You guys see any action?

- Yep.

- Yeah.

Yeah?

Well, we all think

you're doing a hell of a job.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

No, no. Thank you.

You know, we get clients all the time

in the dealership who want

their Hummers outfitted just like yours.

The desert camouflage, the whole bit.

One guy even put armor on his H1.

They want bullet holes?

Yeah, they probably do.

Hey, check this out.

Push that third button right back there.

Not bad, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah. Bet you guys

don't have that on your vehicles.

No, sir, we don't.

You got it?

- That didn't take long.

- Thank you.

I have to use the bathroom.

I'll pull over by those bushes.

No, I said "use the bathroom,"

not squat by the side of the road.

And the weird and wacky talent

this week is...

Congratulations, Wayne.

All yours.

Do you want to play pool, or...

pinball or something?

Nah. We should get going.

Okay.

Turn it down!

Turn it off!

Is this a good show?

Yeah.

I've never seen it before.
