"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?" "You're damn right there is!" "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' on my shoulder about Darlene, 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 send the sample over to the lab." "Turn your head and cough." "[Coughs]" "Don't waste your time worrying' about it, though." "Y'all just go on and enjoy your vacation." "Well, you know, I guess you're right, 'cause I know worrying' about it ain't gonna change nothin'," " 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 gambling' and all that." "But the big thing is, we got tickets to the Monster Truck Jam." "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!" "Lane Aaron Dodd, get your ass down from there right now!" "But I'm Superman!" "Your butt's gonna be super red if you don't do as I say." "[Mumbling]" "WOMAN ON RADIO:" "** You know it was a lie **" "** 'Cause deep inside mz heart... **" "Hey, good-lookin'!" " Jesus H. Christ, Roy." " Oh, dear." " Don't do that!" " I'm sorry, darlin'." "God, you almost made me piss on the rug!" "I'm sorry." " Why are you so jumpy?" " I just..." "What the hell are you doin' here in the middle of the day?" "Shouldn't you be at work?" "Your daddy asked me to run some errands for him, so I thought I'd just kinda stop by and see if you was ovulating'." "[Music continues]" "Well, I don't know if I am or not." "Well, you're dressed like you should be ovulating'." "Hmm?" "[Laughs] What?" "Roy, no." "Not right now." "Come on." " That towel will come off..." " You should go to work." "Daddy will miss you, then there'd be a lot of shit, and he'll get pissed off..." "Darlin', it ain't possible for him not to get pissed off." "He ain't gonna have no problem with it if he thinks we're making a grandbaby." " Roy..." " Real quick?" "Just a little quickie." "I can't do this right now, God damn it." " Very fast?" " I have..." "I have a ton of shit to do." "I got to pack." "We got to leave tomorrow, baby!" "Reno!" "All right." "Candy..." "What the hell happened to our wedding picture?" "Cat." "Too much catnip, you know?" " Murphy?" " Yes." "Baby..." "He must've mule-kicked the dang I have to tell you somethin'." "Come over here." " What?" " You ready?" " What?" " Okay." "So I've been thinkin', and..." "You know what I really want to do when we get to Reno?" "Huh?" "I want to renew our wedding vows." "Why?" "What for?" "Because it's romantic, Roy." "A lot of people get married where gambling is legal." "Well, one kinda does go with the other, don't it?" "[Laughs]" "Oh, yes, baby." "And you know what?" "It'd be so great 'cause it would be like a brand-new start for us." "Like if either one of us ever did anything in the past that we'd like to change it would just be erased." "Like, it won't count no more, okay?" "Well... have I done somethin' wrong I don't know about?" "I mean, if I did, I'm sorry." "Oh, honey, no." "No." "Well, what?" "No, honey." "It's just something that I really, really want to do." "Picture it..." "Reno... with all them bright lights... and all the action." "Oh, baby, it would be so perfect." "Please." "Please, please, please, please, please." "Well, hell, if it means that much to you, I'm game." "Let's do it." " Oh!" " [Laughs]" "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." "Tell me." "I hate surprises." "Well, just see for yourself." "No." "You didn't." " I did." " ** Oh, zeah... **" "You sure did." "Whoa!" " Oh, my Lord." " ** Oh, zeah... **" "You did." "You horn dog, you." "See there?" "Ain't she a beaut?" "Dealer exclusive." "Anniversary special." "Boy, this son of a bitch has got everything on it except electric dick massage." "I can't believe you, Lonnie." "Are we really gonna take this across the country?" "Hell, yeah, we're gonna take it across the country." "It's got to cost a fortune!" "Nothing's too good for my friends." "We're gonna be ridin' and stylin' and profilin'." "It smells loud." "[Sniffs]" "That's probably that Corinthian leather, is what that is." " I would imagine." " That's real leather?" "Well, hell, yeah, it's real leather." " Dang me." " You know what?" "Besides that, I had Jerome unhook the odometer." "Sell the son of a bitch like brand-new when we get back." " [Laughs]" " See what I'm sayin'?" " You're my hero." " What do you think, Ronnie?" " These wheels are sweet." " Yeah, they are, ain't they?" "[Engine revs]" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" " You crazy?" " [Tires screech]" "Hey, you guys!" "Hey, Lonnie Earl, where the hell have you been?" "I haven't seen you in days." "Well, you know, they keep me hoppin'." "Yeah." "Oh, Lonnie Earl," "I got to stop by work on the way out of town." "What are you talkin' about?" "DARLENE:" "Roy got in a little bit of trouble with daddy again." "It ain't got nothin' to do with your daddy, baby." " Yeah, well..." " Hey... you serious?" "It ain't gonna take but a minute." "You see this?" "It's a TripTik." "It's called a TripTik." "Now, I took the trouble to call AAA and have them figure out everything for us... the whole schedule..." "so we're gonna stick to it." "Everybody needs to read that loud and clear, you understand?" "DARLENE:" "Honey, don't get so uptight." "I'm not uptight!" "[Metal rattling]" "[Steam hissing]" "[Indistinct shouting]" "Mr. Kirkendall?" "Mr. Bush is as mad as a riled-up bull about that Beefy Nibby thing." "I didn't mean to put on the wrong labels." "And I just feel plumb awful about it, sir." "I need this job." "What if he fires me, Mr. Kirkendall?" "You ain't gonna get fired." "I promise you, okay?" "Everybody makes mistakes." "I mean, hell, look at me." "Just ask my mama, okay?" "[Laughs]" "[Machinery whirring]" "Good to see you, sweetie pie!" "Lonnie Earl, that car's runnin' great." "Thanks." "Good deal, Fred." "Darlene... you're lookin' beautiful, as always." "DARLENE:" "Thank you, Fred." "[Bell rings]" "Roy... you bumble-dick gourd head." "How about you, Fred?" "Nice morning, ain't it?" "Damn it, boy, don't take that tone with me." "I will slap the taste out of your mouth." "Do you even have any inkling why you're here?" "Well no." "I have got 200 cases of Ocean Delight that are labeled "Beef and Cheese Nibbies."" "You tell me how the hell somethin' like that happens." "Oh, no." "I am sorry." "It is my fault." "I got the cans mixed up, and then Candy paged me, and I had to... well..." "[Telephone ringing]" "I forgot." "But then why did you go ahead and ship 'em?" "We're talkin' about cat lovers here, boy." "When the cat lover opens the Beef and Cheese Nibbies, he expects to find Beef and Cheese Nibbies, not a fuckin' Ocean Delight!" "Understood?" "Yes, sir." "And just where in the hell were you yesterday afternoon" " when all this was happenin'?" " He was at the house." "I needed him for something." "Oh?" "Well, okay." "Why?" "What..." "Wasn't nothin' wrong, was there?" "No." "You see..." "No, sir." "She's just checkin' for when she's ovulatin' because we know how much you want that grandbaby, so when she pages, I come." "[Steam hissing]" "I mean..." "I go." "[Chuckles nervously] Well, you know what I mean." "[Bell rings]" "I don't even want to think about that." "Just get the hell out of here." "LONNIE EARL:" "I'm glad we're finally on the road." "Here's to a big ol' time." "Look out, Reno." "We're gonna put some hair on the wall." "[Siren walls]" "Well, shit on a stick." "It's just Russell and Boyd." "We're gonna be out of here in a heartbeat." "All right, sir..." "[Both laugh]" "Hey, Lonnie Earl!" "I didn't know that was you." "How is everybody?" "How about you, Russell..." "Boyd?" "Hi, Candy." "Ooh-ee, man." "This is one fine vehicle you got here." "Has that got that dick massage?" "No." "Don't you start with me." "Listen, we're in kind of a hurry." "We're goin' out of town on vacation." "Whereabouts you goin'?" "Reno, Nevada." "Y'all goin' to that Monster Truck Jam out there?" "Check this son of a bitch out." "Lucky sons of bitches... goin' to the biggest little city in the world." "Of course, that is if we get there in time." "I'd love to sit here and talk to you all day long." "You know that, don't you, Boyd?" "But we got to get on the road, so why don't you just let us go?" "You know you ran that stop sign back there." "I've been runnin' that since I been drivin', Russell." "Everybody runs that damn sign." " I know I do." " [Laughter]" " See?" " Damn it, Boyd." "Look, Lonnie Earl, I understand that and all, but... you just shouldn't do it right in front of us." "Just look at you..." "you're sittin' there, you're drinkin' that beer like we was at the drive-in movies and I wasn't wearin' this here badge." "This is my first beer of the day." "I swear to God." " I'll vouch for him." " See?" " Me too, Boyd." " Me three." "Come on, Russell." "Everybody makes mistakes." "Come on, Russell." "Shit." "You know how fond of beer you are, don't you?" "[Laughing] Hey, now." "Right?" "Isn't he, Boyd?" "[Laughing] Oh, he hates it." "Swear to God." " [Laughter]" " What are you laughin' at?" "Why don't I just hop up on top of this truck and unstrap a couple cases and give it to y'all, and let's call it even..." "you know, as friends?" "I wouldn't call that even." "I'd call that a bribe." "[Doors close, indistinct voices on radio]" "Buckle up!"

"You want me to get these bottles and toss 'em?" "Well, hell, no." "We can get deposit on them." "Just pump the gas." "Yes, sir." "Lonnie Earl, can I get some wine coolers?" "Why can't you drink beer like everybody else?" "I told you..." "it's full up in there." "We ain't got room for a bunch of wine coolers." "I wouldn't mind havin' one of them wine coolers." "[Horn honks in distance]" "[Sighs]" "Buy some damn wine coolers, then." "I don't know why you like to drink them things." "Sissy shit." "Hell, yeah, girls." "There you go." "You too, Roy." "Just pile it the hell on there." "I got plenty of money." "I'm Mr. Deep Pockets." "Does anybody else here want me to buy 'em anything?" "[Candy laughs]" "Ooh, look!" "Bob Barker is dating' another one of them Barker Beauties." "That old man can't keep it in his pants." "He ought to take his own advice and get it neutered." "I say more power to him." "You would." "At least he's gettin' him some." "RO Y:" "Darlene!" "Hey, Darlene!" "It's an Oklahoma shot glass." "You got one of these?" "No, we don't." "I doubt you're gonna find one of these anywhere else." "We don't need another damn shot glass." "All they do is collect dust anyhow." "Put that back and let's go." "We're gonna have to make up some time before lunch, all right?" "Hon, would you like me to help you bag up some of this?" "DARLENE:" "Since Lonnie Earl planned the trip, he decided to stop in Amarillo so could eat this 72-ounce steak." "Of course, his $50 bet with Bill Moore was the real reason we were stopping there." "I swear that husband of mine would do anything to save a buck." "[Horn blares]" "[Fanfare plays]" " Isn't that pretty?" " Oh, no." "Wait, Lonnie Earl." "Let me get your picture." " My Lord." " One more." "Okay." "You ready?" "Get closer to the meat." "Whoo!" "I'm sorry." "That is the ass end of a rhino." "This is no bigger than a Papa Burger at A W." " Easily handleable, all right?" " [Laughs]" "That hunk of meat's bigger than our cat." "You're gonna be sick is what's gonna happen." "No." "I got a plan." "You just take your time." "Breeze through it." "Eat this other shit afterward." "Push it through." "See what I'm sayin'?" "Go with the flow." "That kind of deal." " You're gonna be sick." " Oh, shut up, Darlene." "Look at all this meat I get, and I get paid to eat it." "RO Y:" "You're gonna be ridin' that porcelain pony." "Are you gonna go?" " First bite." "I'm ready." " There you go." "Okay." "Ladies and gentlemen, could I have your attention, please?" "This is Mr. Lonnie Earl Dodd from Millsberg, and he's gonna try to eat this 72-ounce steak dinner." "Go, Lonnie Earl." "He has one hour to eat 72 ounces of meat, salad, shrimp cocktail, baked potato, and bread." "If you'd like to look at this steak, come over and take a look, but don't ask too many questions." "He only has an hour to do this in." "Let's give Lonnie Earl a little round of encouragement." "[Cheers and applause]" "[Swing music plays]" "[Music continues]" "Okay... he's got 45 seconds." "Everybody give him a hand." "He's gonna make it." "[Cheers and applause]" "RO Y:" "Lonnie Earl Dodd!" "Whoo!" ""Big Texan Steak Ranch 72-ounce Steak Club achievement award."" "CAND Y:" "To Lonnie Earl Dodd." "I saw." "That's free and you get 50 bucks?" "Mm-hmm." "So good." "Can I take a bite of yours?" "If I can have your cherry." "Sure you can, honey." "There you go." "RO Y:" "I can't eat this whole dang thing." "Of course you can, Roy." "CAND Y:" "Well, I'll help you." "I knew you would, baby." "It's not like Lonnie Earl will help you."

"CAND Y:" "Quit it." "RO Y:" "Oh, he's fakin'!" "It's not funny, Lonnie Earl." "What is it, honey?" " You want another one?" " Whoa." "Oh, my God." "Get that bucket." "Honey..." "Hold on!" "Lonnie Earl, put your arms up!" "Get your hands off of him, homo!" "DARLENE:" "Don't fuss, Candy." "You want to throw up, Lonnie Earl?" "Can you breathe?" "Oh, my God." "I think he's dyin'!"

"[Laughter on TV]" "WOMAN:" "You've got to take it easy." "And y'all make sure that he drinks plenty of fluids." "[Both laughing]" "SANFORD:" "Spare ribs and mustard greens." "So have a great rest of your trip, and take good care of yourself, and don't forget this." " Oh, no." "Hey, thanks." " Yeah." "Take care of yourself." " I will." " Hi, hon." "You all better?" "Like y'all would give a shit." "Well, he just wanted me to check in with you, 'cause, you know, doc, he don't trust nobody else, especially some snot-nosed little Texas doctor who ain't too long off the tit." "[Toilet flushes]" "But listen, while I got you... what about them tests I had done?" "Uh-huh." "Okay." "Okay, I will bet one for you." "The doc says that if you're still feelin' puny tomorrow, you're supposed to mix a bunch of meat tenderizer in some water and drink it, and you'll be fine." "Yeah, I'm sure I'll be fine." "Plus I'm $50 richer, right?" "[Laughs]" "And a hospital bill later." "Oh, listen." "If Bill Moore gives me shit about this bet, you're my witness, right?" "Damn straight." "Okay." "I know the boy." "What was that you were talkin' to Doc Tuley about... about some tests or somethin'?" "Nothin'." "Just insurance crap where they make you pee in a bottle all the time every time you turn around."

"[Laughs] That's a good idea." "Besides that, Darlene's gonna be back in a little bit." "She won't ever sneak in no hotel pool." "Well, sometimes when people are away from home, they do things they might not normally do." "[Hinges squeak, doors rattle]" "Yeah, I wish." "[Crickets chirping]" "All clear." "I can't believe I'm doin' this." "This is classy!" "Somethin' we're not used to." "God help us." "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Oh, it's cold." "Oh!" " Get in, Dar." " Whoo." "[Both laugh]" " Whoo!" " Oh!" "Get away from me!" "Whoo!" "What do you weigh, about 98 pounds wet?" "Shut up, Dar." "You got a great body." "You just cover it up all the time." "Whatever." "Are you happy, Dar?" "I guess." "Why wouldn't I be?" "Oh..." "I don't know." "I mean... things just don't seem right between you two lately." "I mean, I always believed you two were meant for each other, you know?" "Like Burt and Loni." "Well, not like them, because they ain't married no more." "But like..." "Elvis and Priscilla." "Well, you know what I mean." "Is there something you know that I don't?" "No!" "No, no, no." "No, Dar." "No." "I don't know anything." "[Voice breaking] I just care about you guys so much, and especially you, Dar, because you're my best friend." "Oh, honey..." "And... can't a friend try to help a friend?" "Yeah, but, oh, honey, don't cry." "Come here, silly." "Damn wine coolers got me all emotional." "[Hinges squeak, gate rattles]" "[Lmitating Tarzan] Aah-ah-aah!" "Oh!" "Oh, dang." "That hurt like hell." "[Chuckles]" " Candy?" " Mm-hmm?" "Do you love Roy?" "[Chuckles] Well..." "I don't think I ever got the chance to fall in love with Roy." "[Chuckles]" "I guess it was more like nature took its own course." "Next thing I knew..." "Roy was workin' for daddy and we was married." "Like there wasn't any middle..." "just then and now." "Oh, shit." "What's wrong, Mark Spitz?" "You seem a little out of shape." "[Roy groans]" "Them 12-ounce curls are..." "kinda taking' their toll." "[Candy laughs]" "Oh. [Grunts]" "I gotta go pee." "I'm gonna go back to the hotel." " I gotta go pee." " Darlin'..." "I'm goin' back to the hotel." "Darlin', just pee in the pool." "I do it all the time." "Oh, gross, Roy." "You coming, Dar?" "I think I'll swim a little." "This was a pretty good idea after all." "See you guys up there." "See ya." "Whoo!" "[Exhales deeply]" " [Coughs]" " Feels good." "[Sighs]" "[Breathing heavily] What you doin', Roy?" "I've got you a little somethin'." "Oh, Roy, you didn't have to." "I know, but a lady like you should have anything she wants." "DARLENE:" "Gettin' to New Mexico, I was so excited." "The Grand Canyon was just a day away." "RO Y:" "You know, what I'm lookin' forward to is that Robosaurus smashing' them cars." "That is gonna be somethin'." "Robo what?" "What on Earth is that?" "That's a 10-story machine that squashes things... basically a car dealer's nightmare." "DARLENE:" "What a thrill." "[Thud, bottles rattling]" " Armadillo." " You'd think them son of bitches would learn to stay out of the road." " You ever see one alive?" " [Laughs]" "Well, I'll be damned." "97. 1 degrees." "I think I'm ovulating'." "97. 1 is what that library book said to look for." "Whoa." "LONNIE EARL:" "Maybe it's just the heat." "97. 1, Lonnie Earl." "That's below normal temperature." "She's probably too close to the window." "My window's up, and according to this thermometer, farmer Roy needs to plant his seed right now." "Come on, baby." "Pull over." "No, we ain't stoppin' at no motel." "Not right now." "We just got back on schedule, and I ain't gettin' off." "Who said anything about a motel?" "[Candy moaning pleasurably, suspension squeaking]" "You do realize that my schedule's gone to hell." "Freezin'-ass cold out here, and we're waitin' on the damn carnival." "You're the one who wanted to go on vacation in January." "You know what I told you about July prices." "I can't pay that kind of money." "[Sniffs]" "[Both moaning pleasurably]" "CAND Y:" "Oh..." "Oh, baby!" "[Woman laughing]" "It's like we're travelin' with a damn high-school biology experiment or somethin'." "[Candy moans pleasurably]" "What the hell is he doin' to her?" "Something pretty good, I'd say." "Well, it's pissin' me off." "Okay, that's it." "I'm gonna put a stop to this shit." "Good Lord." "You're makin' a bigger scene than they are." "[Laughter]" "All right. [Knocks]" "Oh." "That'll be plenty." " What?" " Come on." "We're leavin'." "[Applause]" "Mission accomplished, sir." "There goes the new-car smell." "RO Y:" "You look kinda uptight, Lonnie Earl." "You want me to drive?" "Hell, no." "I'm the driver." "Just get us a couple of beers." "I'll be fine." " Hey, hon?" " Hmm?" "Can you grab us a couple beers without spillin' any of them tadpoles?" "I sure can, sugar kitten." "[Bottles rattling]" "Thank you." "[Bottles rattling]" "I'm glad we stopped here." "You know what?" "They got a sign over that toilet says they got the cleanest bathrooms along all of I-40." "If we stay in Kingman tonight, we'll be back on my schedule." "But we were gonna stop at the Grand Canyon tonight and get up and look at it tomorrow." "But we can't do that now because our traveling' sex show here has put us behind schedule." "Then why did we stop here?" "Because we had to eat, honey, and this fits in, okay?" "The Grand Canyon's just a big ol' hole in the ground." "You can look out the window and see a big hole in the ground." "That ain't the same." "I think it'd be nice to see it." "I wouldn't mind ridin' one of them jackasses down in that sucker." "That'd... be..." "Damn it, that's the one thing I wanted to do on this trip." "I told you I wanted to see it since second grade when Mrs. Beechner told us about it." "She said everyone thought God rested on the seventh day, but really he was workin' on his hobby, carving' the Grand Canyon." "Well, that's sweet, but if you remember," "Mrs. Beechner also kept her shit in a shoebox." "Remember that?" "So I don't know if that's the greatest authority in the world, you know?" "Let's go." "[Bottles rattling]" "[Crickets chirping]" "[Candy moaning pleasurably]" "Good God." "That girl's gonna wake the dead in there." "[Moaning continues]" "If this shit's gonna happen every time she reaches a certain temperature," "I'm gonna get madder than a wet hen." "Why does it bother you so much?" "It's for a good cause." "It's just that they take so damn long." "And they don't even think about us." "The least he could do is tiger-fuck her." "You know I don't like that talk." "Just get up behind her, bite her on the neck, in and out, and it's done." "Shit." "How romantic." "What would you know about romance?" "I'm sorry, honey." "I'm just..." "Well, look, face it..." "when's the last time we did it?" "That's not romance." "If that's all you care about, then just go ahead and do it with someone else." "Is this about the Grand Canyon?" "No, it's not." "Good grief." "Well, then, what's it about?" "Why don't you talk to me?" "I'm your husband." "You can talk to me." "Honey, listen, this is hard on me, too." "Honey, for the last couple of years, every time I try something with you, you got some damn excuse." "You don't know how it feels." "And besides that, I'm about to explode." "I am." "Tell the truth... is it me?" "No." "It's me." "Well, what are we gonna do about that?" "Well, I said... maybe we could see that woman in Little Rock." "I ain't goin' to no shrink-bitch Dr. Ruth woman that's gonna make us sit there and charge me an arm and a leg and a nut to say the shit that we can say to each other right here and now." "But she might not let you say somethin' like you just said." "What did I say?" "Well, if you can't hear yourself, then how are you gonna hear me, huh?" "This dang bed sags in the middle." "We're all gonna be windin' up laying' in a puddle." "It sure as hell ain't no Serta Perfect Sleeper." "Would y'all quit bitchin'?" "The bed's fine." "RO Y:" "Good night, John boy."

"So we all decided we'd better leave what had happened back in Reno." "And while the baby issue's still stuck in everyone's craw," "Roy said that if he had to drop two grand at a sperm bank to buy some stranger's seed, he thought it seemed better to get it from his best friend."
