If I saw you on your wedding day
Dear Mr. Kilgore Trout.
My name is Eliot Rosewater,
and this is a fan letter.
Plague on wheels is the greatest novel-
Plague on wheels is the greatest
novel in the English language.
"I promise to make you famous. You
should be president of the United States. "
what the hell? I mean,
look at the handwriting.
It must be from a kid of 14.
" Promise to make you famous. "
My first fan letter ever, and I'll
show you what I'm gonna do with it.
watch this.
Two hundred novels, 2,000 short stories.
Never heard back from
one publisher, not one,
except that wide-open beaver outfit,
and they didn't pay me doodley-squat.
And then I get a fan letter.
well, I'll burn you out of my body bag.
I'll be glad when it's over.
Can't wait till my head's as
empty as the day I was born...
onto this damaged planet
Empty as a child's,
a very young child's.
That's why I wrote those stories, Bill.
Get rid of all the junk
that's built up over the years.
Hey, folks, it's me
- Dwayne Hoover.
Hey, folks, it's me, Dwayne Hoover.
Going bananas down here. Dwayne Hoover.
Dwayne Hoover. Hey, folks, it's me.
Dwayne Hoover.
There he goes, Grace. He's drivin'
by the house because he knows!
I'm tellin' ya, Grace! He knows!
He doesn't know a damn thing, Harry.
Now, will you please get
over here and sit down?
Oh.
I'm telling you, Grace, Dwayne Hoover-
Dwayne Hoover knows everything.
Harry, that is such bullshit.
Dwayne Hoover doesn't
know his son is a freak.
He doesn't know his wife is suicidal.
He doesn't know. Besides, who
Oh, well, I care,
because I'm his sales manager,
and I'm telling you that Dwayne Hoover is
saying and doing things he never used to.
- Come here, big boy.
- Grace, listen to me.
- I got somethin'you want. - I've
known Dwayne Hoover for over 21 years.
I know him the way a combat
soldier knows his buddy.
Jesus, he knows me.
- Harry, first of all, listen to me.
- Yes.
You were never in the army.
Second of all, we're the only people in this
whole town who have any kind of sex life.
You should be proud.
Grace, I try, but I can't.
Oh,Jesus. I'm the
freak, not Dwayne Hoover.
Me! I mean, look. I got a sex problem.
I'll tell you who has
a sex problem, Harry.
How many orgasms do you think Dwayne
Hoover has a month, huh? Lift your skirt up.
I don't care how many times
I have 87, and you have 36.
People like Dwayne Hoover
have 1.5. 1.5, Harry.
Now, that is sick.
Let's move to Hawaii and get a condo
in Maui like we've always wanted.
Oh, Grace, you know we can't.
I mean, think of my job.
Think how long it's taken
me to become what I am.
Maui.
Maui.
- Maui.
- Maui.
Hey!
Get out of the car, a**hole!
why, you're Mr. Dwayne Hoover.
I bought my new car down
at Exit 11 Motor Village.
- where am I?
- What is happening here?
- Don't worry. Somebody just dumping sludge in the creek.
But the guys are gettin'it cleaned up.
You can go on through if you want to, but
keep it kind of slow for me, will ya, please?
- Be nice and safe. - Hey! You can't
go there! I got your license plate!
That was Mr. Hoover from Exit 11.
Oh, I should have got his autograph.
Doggone it. My wife's never
gonna believe that I did this.
- what's that?
Two in one week. You ain't
dead yet, old man. Here you go.
Dear Mr. Trout, My
name is Fred T. Barry,
chairman of the arts festival, celebrating
the opening of the Mildred T. Barry...
Memorial Center for the
Arts in Midland City.
It would be our most profound honor...
for you to be one of our
creative and distinguished...
out-of-town
participants.
This check for dollar1,000
is for travel expenses...
and an honorarium.
- why all this sudden interest
in Kilgore Trout, Bill, huh?
Some mistake's been made. No question.
Maybe they've invited me because
they know I've got a tuxedo.
Ever show you my
tuxedo, Bill, huh? Yeah.
If they really want Kilgore Trout,
they'll want him in a tuxedo.
Ah. Yeah.
High school dance.
Believe it or not, once
even I was young, Bill.
Me. Hey.
Yeah, it's quite a good fit, huh?
Hey, Bill, what is that?
Cha, cha, cha
Cha, cha-
I'm too old for all that.
why go all the way out to Midland City
just to make a laughingstock of myself?
I'm my only fan.
