Huh? Huh?

This one's on Harlan.

Thanks.

Well, look, Jimmy'll

come in off the road

and you won't be there.

He'll freak out

and call you

Sunday night,

you'll call him back,

and by Monday,

he'll be kissing

the ground you walk on.

Exactly.

In the meantime,

you said we was

gonna have some fun,

so let's have some!

All right.

Okay.

If they knew

what we were up to,

they wouldn't let us in

Landed in Memphis

like original sin

Up Elvis Presley Boulevard

to the Graceland gates

Yeah, see, we were

looking for a Cadillac

with Tennessee plates

Let's dance.

All right!

I woke up in a hotel

I didn't know what to do

I turned the TV on

and wrote a letter to you

The news was talking

about a dragnet

up on the interstate

Thelma.

That's your name? Thelma?

That's a lovely name.

I don't know

what I'm doing.

Just follow me, Thelma.

I don't know what...

Ma'am, you wanna

dance a little?

Sure.

Since I left California, baby

Things have gotten worse

Seems the land of opportunity

for me is just a curse

Tell that judge in Bakersfield

my trial will have to wait

Down here, they're

looking for a Cadillac

with Tennessee plates

She saw him singing once

when she was 17

And ever since that day

she's been living in between

You got some

great moves, honey.

I was never king of nothing

but this wild weekend

Anyway, he wouldn't care

Hell, he gave them

to his friends

All right! Here we go!

Here we go! Here we go!

Hey, hey, Thelma!

Oh, Louise.

I'm hitting the little

girls' room and then

we're out of here.

I'm ready

when you are.

Wait, Louise,

I want to come

with you.

Turn around.

I don't feel so good.

What's wrong? Come on.

Sh*t. Stop!

What's wrong?

I'm spinning.

Oopsy-doopsy.

We need to get you

some fresh air,

little lady.

Uh-huh.

Look, have you

seen my friend?

Your friend?

Uh... Yeah. Yeah.

She was out there

dancing. Dancing.

How you

feeling now, darling?

Oh. Thanks.

I think I'm starting

to feel a little better.

You're starting to feel

pretty good to me, too.

You know that?

I think I need

to keep walking.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Where do you think

you're going, huh?

I'm going back inside.

Oh, no, no.

Harlan.

What?

Hey, quit it.

Stop it. Stop it.

Thelma, Thelma,

listen to me.

Listen to me.

I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?

I just wanna kiss you.

All right?

No. No.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Goddamn, you are gorgeous.

All right, let me

go now. Come on.

Let me go!

I mean, I'm married!

Come on.

That's okay,

I'm married, too.

I don't feel good.

I've been sick.

Aw.

Listen to me,

I said I'm not gonna

hurt you. All right?

Relax.

Harlan, stop it,
