Waking Up in Reno
DARLENE:
You know, relationships can be
a lot like a loaf of bread.
At the beginning,
they're hot and fresh,
and you can always get a rise.
But with time, if you don't
knead 'em carefully,
they grow old and stale.
Now, I know that life
ain't no Easy-Bake oven.
But with the kids
and my husband's job,
it's almost as if we've
forgotten to add the yeast.
So I'm hoping this trip to Reno
with our best friends,
Candy and Roy,
will be just what
the doctor ordered.
"F"...
"L"...
"O"...
Can't you see it, Darlene?
No. It's kinda hard
to make out.
[Sighs]
I think I'm just nervous, doc,
'cause Lonnie Earl and I have
got to go on vacation tomorrow,
and I'm just not real good
about leavin' home.
[Beep]
WOMAN:
Stacey Regal,call the operator.
Okay.
All right, baby.
Move that sign.
I'm tryin' to sell
some cars here.
Hey, Lonnie Earl Dodd here.
Guess what, folks.
It's time for our annual
Presidents' Day Blowout sale,
and I gotta tell you,
I'm feelin' rather patriotic.
And I guarantee we won't be
undersold by anybody,
and if you can't trust
ol' Lonnie Earl Dodd,
then you can't trust anybody.
All right now, Darlene.
Just go ahead
and use one or two of those
drops if you feel the need,
especially out there on that old
I-40 around the Mojave Desert.
[Chuckles]
You just go on and have yourself
a vacation.
Thanks, doc.
Roy?
DARLENE:
Hey, Roy!Oh, I got to call Candy
and see if she's bringing
any nice clothes.
- She home?
- Yeah, yeah.
But I can't find that husband
of yours nowhere.
I've called all over the place,
and I can't rouse him.
Well, you know Lonnie Earl.
He's probably up to no good.
And if you can't trust me,
who can you trust?
And remember... if you can't
trust me, Lonnie Earl...
[Grunts, glass breaks]
Is there a problem?
How come you got to take
a shower after?
Huh?
You feel dirty?
'Cause I sure as hell
feel dirty.
Oh, my God, Lonnie Earl.
We're filthy.
I'm not.
I'm Zestfully clean.
[Grunts, glass breaks]
Oh, shit!
How could you do that to me?!
One minute you're cryin'
the next minute
you're bangin' me from behind!
Well, you told me
not to look at you.
[Telephone rings]
DR. TULE Y:
I got to sendthe sample over to the lab.
Turn your head and cough.
[Coughs]
Don't waste your time
worryin' about it, though.
Y'all just go on
and enjoy your vacation.
Well, you know,
I guess you're right,
'cause I know worryin' about it
- is it?
- That's right.
So, uh... what y'all got
lined up?
Lonnie Earl's got a bet
with ol' Bill Moore
that he can eat this giant
ol' 72-ounce steak in Amarillo.
Horseshit.
Then we're gonna pop up
to the Grand Canyon,
'cause Darlene's always
wanted to see that.
And you know what a partier
Candy is.
She's lookin' for the night life
and the shows
and the gamblin' and all that.
But the big thing is,
we got tickets
Yeah, yeah.
That sounds like a big time.
You know, Roy,
I could send the test results
over to Candy's folks,
let them know when they come in.
No. No, sir.
I don't want... them worryin'
or nothin',
so I'd like to be
the first to know.
Well, all right, then.
I'll just wait to hear from you.
And don't you worry.
I'll bet you that everything's
gonna be just fine.
WOMAN ON TV:
...Beautiful emerald...
[Dog whimpering,
metal rattling]
Oh...
Do you have to go outside,
Miss Thing?
[Dog whimpering]
Come on, sweetie.
Come on.
It's a bird. It's a plane.
No, it's Superman!
