Gus, what kind of knot

did you tie?

A double shambo

figure eight.

You went over, under, over.

Uh, the shambo goes over, under, under.

- Hey, Joe, trust me. it's over, under.

- it's under, under.

- Hi.

- [Both] Hi.

Hey, it's really nice

of you girls to give us a ride.

We really appreciate it.

- Yeah.

- you're welcome.

it's really too bad

about your car. I feel bad.

- We feel bad too, yeah.

- Yeah. Hmm.

- Did you report the car stolen?

- Yeah, with the deputy.

' Cause the sheriff was out fishin'.

ain't that a bummer?

Y-You know the... You know your license

plate number, right?

that's the one thing

thatJoe does remember. [Laughs]

that's right.

Uh, "JGTT 542."

- Can you... What is it? "J" what?

- Wait. Could you do that again?

- Maybe I'll bump into

the police, and I can help you.

- Yeah, that's a great idea.

- Thank you. that's nice of you.

- One more time.

- "J" forJoe, "G" for Gus...

- that's me.

"T"for tuna,

"T"for trout.

- "5." I was five years old

the first time I tasted beer.

- Yeah.

And "42" was

Gus' s old football jersey before

he dislocated both his knees.

Yeah, but that's not

how I hurt my knees, you know.

I sleepwalk when I eat red meat.

- Sleepwalk?

- that's right. Hey, listen to this.

One time at a July 4th

barbecue we had...

After it was over,

Gus sleepwalked all the way over

to the 7-11 on the interstate.

Got wiped out by a motorcycle.

Almost killed him. Hey,

true story, I swear to God.

- it's a true story.

- Right, Gus?

- Yeah, right.

- Ex cuse us.

Hey, we'll

talk to you later.

[Laughing, Whooping]

Hey, hey, you know, Joe?

Life is so

unpredictable, man.

One minute,

we're draggin' our boat,

next minute, we're gettin'

a ride with babes!

Hey, you know somethin' else?

I think they find us attractive.

- Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Notice that?

Hey, maybe

they think we're cute.

- Yeah, yeah.

- W-Why not? what's wrong with us?

We have the license plate

number. We know that

it's a blue Barracuda.

And if we see this guy,

we're going to call the police.

- Of course, we're gonna call the police.

- Okay.

- Hey, hey, remember the killer looks?

- The what?

- The killer looks. [Mutters]

- Killer looks?

Oh, Joe! Your memory' s so bad.

In high school.

We' d be sittin' in the bleachers

and givin' the killer looks...

to Susan Dix on

and Marilyn Mitchell.

- Oh, yeah! Killer looks!

- Yeah.

What we gotta do is figure out

what to do with these guys.

You know what?

I was thinkin' of that low-down dir...

that's if...

- Hi.

- Hi.

what's wrong?

Are you guys all right?

Oh, we're good, yeah.

Okay, well, um, look,

I just need to ask you...

The guy who stole your car...

Was he carrying anything?

Like a... Like a black bag

or a suitcase or...

Uh, it was... It looked

more like a purse to me.

Yeah, yeah, he was a man

with a purse, yeah.

Oh, yeah, well, this guy

with the purse, did he maybe...

tell you which way he was going

or something like that?

- Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

- Uh, no. that's all we know, really.

- Let me ask you a question: How come

you're asking so many questions?

- Yeah.

Well, it's because...

The guy who stole your car...

- No, the guy...

- [Chattering, Gasps]

- Hey, Joe, the beer!

- Gus! Get the beer, Gus!

- I got it, Joe.

- Get the beer.

Hey, Joe!

Hey, good save, Gus!

Good save!

[Grunting, Panting]

- Thanks, Gus.

[Joe] Hey, Gus, I told you

it was under and under.

[Gus] Yeah, okay, Joe.

Maybe you're right.

- Hey, nice R.V., Gus.

- [Horn Honking]

- [Both Gasp]

- [Honking Continues]

Hey, Gus, is there any way

to steer this thing?

L-l-I don't know. We better

find a way to stop it, though.

- Where' d they go?

- What?

Th-they're gone.

- The boat, the beer,

everything. they're gone!

- Weird.

- Hey, Gus.

- Huh?

- The anchor.

- Get it, Joe. Throw it.

[Both Screaming]

- Yeah.

- It was just like a ride.

- Yeah.

- [Train Whistle Blowing]

- [Both] Uh-oh.

- Hurry up!

- I'm doin' it.

Hurry up!

[Both Scream]

Boy, that was close, Gus.

You know who I

feel sorry for, Gus?

- Who?

- Those girls. You know, the babes.

- Yeah.

- I bet they're drivin' all around

lookin' for us, right?

Yeah, you're

probably right, Joe.

Hey, look at this setup,

huh, Gus?

Where' re you

guys headed?

Uh, we're goin'

to the Everglades.

- Hop in.

- Hey, thanks.

[Beer Bottles Rattling]

[Railroad Crossing Bell

Ringing]

I usually use

a 80-pound test line...

with a Bluefin II

1955 stand-up rods with those uni-butts,

so I can pull it out of the rod holder

when the fish is pulling hard.

Do you anchor

or do you drift?

We usually power drift

along the break, if we can find one.

- Yeah.

- And set each hook bait

with a different depth.

Man, we know a ton

of great fishin' secrets.

Last year, the Everglades

were like a feeding frenzy.

No way you weren't

gonna catch some beauties.

don't worry about your boat.

Ours is big enough for all four of us.

- Hey, Joe!

- Hey, Gus, that's my car!

Hey, stop!

We'll be all right now.

I got my car.

- Hey, where are you guys headin'?

- Tigertail Lagoon.

- Hey, we'll see you there.

- Good luck.

- Guys are lucky, ain't they?

- Yeah. Oh, man, I know.

I wish I was them.

Hey, where is the guy

that, uh, parked this car?

- Yeah.

- he's in the john.

- What are you doin; Joey?

- he's gonna get a little

piece of Newark, Gus.

- Oh, come on, Joey. It ain't worth it.

- it's worth it, Gus.

- No, it's not worth it, Joey!

- it's worth it, Gus!

- Hey, what about O. F. H. First?

- it's worth it.

[Mutters, Sighs]

Oh, man.

# [Whistles]

# [Whistles]

Hey! Hey! Look

what you're doin' there.

[Grunting]

Hey, what's going on

over there?

Joe, what about O. F. H.?

Man, we still got time.

it's not worth it!

it's not worth it! he's got a gun!

- he's got a gun? Shoot!

- Got a gun.

Come on, Joe!

he's got a gun!

[Gus]

Hurry up!

- Hey, mister. Hey!

- let's go!

it's against the law to start your car

while I'm pumping gas!

Oh, boy,

that was close, Gus.

- That guy could' ve killed us, Joe.

- I know.

- Joe, what happened?

- I went in. I was gonna

hit him with the club, see.

- He was lookin' for me. He

was underneath the toilet.

- Yeah, yeah.

So I get up on top,

and the club gets caught

on this, uh, thing.

- And I look, and he's got a gun.

- Was it real?

No, he's loadin' a water pistol.

Yeah, it was real!

- So I ran outta there right

away, and I ran into you.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Where was you goin'?

- L-I was comin' in to help you.

As soon as I tell you it was a gun,
