"Well, he got to the bottom safe and sound" "Everybody asked Bandit how he made it down" "He said, "Folks, when the truck picked up too much speed" ""I just run along beside it and drug my feet"" "Ya heard the legend ofJesse James" "And John Henry just to mention some names" "Well, there's a truck-drivin' legend in the South today" "A man called Bandit from Atlanta, Ga." "Every gearjammer knows his name" "They swear he's got asphalt a-runnin'in his veins" "A foot like lead and nerves like steel" "He's goin' up to glory riding' 18 wheels" "Ah, tell me, boy" "Talk to me, guitar" "Hey, Kirk." "How ya doin'?" "Tod Engels." "How are ya?" " This your rig, son?" " Yeah." "Open it up." "Let's see the manifest." "Well, placing' you under arrest for transporting' alcoholic beverages across state lines without the proper permits." "And that means you, you dumb cowboy." "You know truckin' Coors beer east of Texas is bootlegging'." " This here's Georgia, son." " Just a friendly bet." "These two old boys put me up to it." "Now, when ya gonna learn?" "Big and Little Enos Burdette make that same bet with every gearjammer they can." "I say he ain't gonna go for your game." "Son, from what I've heard, the biggest thing about the Bandit is his ego, and I figure that plus a lot of my dollars, and he'll try anything, legal or not." "They've put on quite a show for us today, haven't they, friends?" "Yes, sir, you have seen some of the finest gearjammin'in all of this country." "Remember, these are the boys that take the long hauls They really did it today." " Hoss..." "Where might I find the Bandit?" " I ain't seen him." " Over there behind his rig." " Who wants to see him?" " Who's askin'?" " I'm askin'." "'Cause I'm the guy paying' him $25 a day so all his loyal fans can look at him." "Do it." "I'm buyin' your attraction for a half an hour." "Egotistical son of a bitch." "A guy that paints his truck like this would go to a minister's funeral dressed in feathers." "See, son?" "Old legends never die." "They just lose weight." "Seems like a legend and an out-of-work bum look a lot alike, Daddy." "Bandit, me and my son are here." "Oh, I love your suits." "It must be a bitch gettin' a size 68 extra-fat and a 12 dwarf." "I came to make a deal." "What's he get if he wins this truck rodeo thing?" "If?" "I - $5,000, Daddy." " Chicken-shit money." " Just what the hell you want, anyway?" "You to get out of this dumb-ass rodeo and accept a real challenge." "Gettin' to Texarkana and back in 28 hours, that's no problem." " It ain't never been done before, hotshit." " Watch your language, little lady." "The problem is that Coors beer." "You take that east of Texas and that's, uh... that's bootlegging'." "I believe you're just a little bit scared." "Great psychology." "Why don't you say somethin' bad about my mother?" " Your mama is so ugly..." " Look, you make this run for me." "These Peterbilts are worth $80,000." "That comes to about three grand an hour if you make it in 28 hours." "How about that for a challenge?" " Dad, I don't believe that that's necess..." " Never mind." "Wait a minute." "Why do you want that beer so bad?" "Because he's thirsty, dummy." "You see, I got a boy runnin' tomorrow in the Southern Classic" "When he wins, I wanna celebrate in style." " How much style?" " Well, I got a few friends and me." "400 cases." " 400 cases...?" " Well?" " Well, let me see your cash." " Big Enos's word is gold." "All right show him the cash." " Go ahead, Little." " Shit."

"You always kick me in the ballsi" "Damn it, Banditl Look at mel" "I find it hard to look at you, Waynette, especially with those things in your hair." "Makes me think you're listening to a radio station in Savannah." "You can't go in there and bother Cledus." "Heyl This is my homel" " Cledus." " Nol" "I know in the past I may have done you wrong." " Right?" " Right." "However, in the future, Cledus, I will never, ever do you wrong again." " Right?" " Right." "We have a big chance, a big chance to make a run for some big bucks." " 80,000 of them." " Really?" " Are we gonna kidnap the Pope or somethin'?" " How'd you guess?" "No." "We're just gonna run over to Texarkana and pick up 400 cases of Coors and bring it back in 28 hours." "Whoal I got a flash for you." "That's called bootleggin', and that's against the law." "Who gives a turkey when the Snowman and the Bandit are runnin' the booze?" " No one can stop us." " Hold it right there." "There ain't gonna be no more Snowman and Bandit." "Because I've got to go in the morning to Conyers and pick up a load of manure." " Shitty job." " Can I ask you a question?" "Sure." "Ask me." "What the hell do we wanna go to Texas for and haul beer back here?" "For the good old American life." "For the money, for the glory and for the fun." "Mostly for the money." "You know what we're gonna do with the money?" " What?" " We're gonna buy a new rig." " You're crazy, you know that." " Yeah." " How much money did you say it was?" " $80,000." "$80,000?" " Hm." " Waynettel" "Now, Bo, I'm tellin' ya, Fred here ain't gonna be no problem." " I can see he'll be a major asset." " Besides, he's one hellacious watchdog." " Well, let's get goin'." " Whoa." "Hold it a minute." "I got to ask you a question." "Sit right there, Fred." "You mean to tell me we're gonna drive from here to Texarkana, Texas, and back to here in 28 hours?" "It's only 900 miles there and 900 miles back." "Well, for your information, that ain't never been done, not in no rig." "'Cause you and I never done it in no rig." "You gotta stop thinkin' so negative." "'Course we can make it." "We ain't never not made it yet, have we?" " Well, no." " You see?" "There you are." "Yeah." "Yeah, I see." "I see all right." "I see our asses in a sling if we get caught that's what I see." "Heyl Ho-ho-hol" "Well, God Almighty, would you look at thatl" " It's beautiful, huh?" " Honey, hush." "I don't guess we're gonna be ridin' in the truck together this time?" "No, son." "I'll be drivin' this one and blocking'." "You'll be drivin' the truck." "This is Bandit One and that is Bandit Two." "Together again." " Like Fred and Ginger and Lester and Earl" " That's right." "But we got a problem." "You know them Smokeys got them CBs in the car now." "I haven't worked that out yet, but I'm thinkin' about it." "I got an idea." "Why don't we do this?" "If I say go to channel 21, forget it." "We ain't goin' to 21, we're goin' to 19." " 21 is 19?" " If I say go to channel six, forget it." " We go to three." " I go to three." "Perfect." " If I say go to channel two, we go to one." " Two is one." " That'll confuse everybody." " That'll confuse 'em." "On the other hand, if we stayed on the odd channels, switched every time and started in the basement, that'd work, too." " That'd do it, too, wouldn't it?" " Well, yeah, that'd work too, I guess." " Let's haul ass." " OK." "Breaker One." "This is the Bandit." "Is the Snowman out there?" " Am I hitting'ya, son?" " Mercy sakes." "You put about eight and a half on me, blowin' my windows out." "Bring it on." "I'll be within earshot." "You keep it wound up to around 90." " Hey, Bandit." "Me and Fred's got a question." " What do you and Fred want?" "How come we're doing this?" "They said it couldn't be done." " That's the reason." " That's good with Fredl 10-4."
