In Country Page #4

She might know me but I can't place her.

Oh thanks.

Now she'll think is for me.

Well you're not pregnant.

So it doesn't matter.

Who the Hell cares anyway?

But I'm not going to pay for it.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

Can I get a price check please.

Lambert Werner test kit

number 5068a.

I don't think it's this high.

Which one is it?

The pregnancy test or the blood sugar one?

The pregnancy!

First day pregnancy test.

5068a.

$14.79.

Keep the change.

It could be wrong.

We could buy another one.

I'll pay for it.

Sh*t!

I always wanted this to be a happy time.

Well, if it does happen we could go away.

You could have the baby in Florida

and we could both work at Disney World.

Is it the right time?

I gotta go.

Carswell gonna murder me.

See ya.

Thanks.

Sure.

You missed Watergate...ET...

...the Bruce Springsteen concert.

God, you missed everything.

And you were just a country boy

and you never knew me.

Slow down there Sam.

I don't have time...

Well hi.

What?

Hi.

Oh, hi.

What are you doing here?

I was passing by.

I see you running everywhere.

Where are running Sam, going so fast?

Anita,...

If I was to ask you if you could...

If it's you you gotta tell me.

If it's a friend you tell them to come see me.

No crapping around.

Not handing out any free drugs or advice.

Well Jeez.

Who are you going with now Sam?

Oh, that boy who won the Libertyville game.

I don't know...

You don't know?

Lonnie's not the main thing on my mind now.

I want to get Emmett to a doctor.

What's wrong?

Well, he gets these headaches and he's got these rashes.

You know how he is.

And he gets these crazy moods Anita.

It's not just one thing.

It's a whole lot of things.

He'll never look after himself.

He ought to get his eyes checked.

I'm going to get some paper

and I'm going to give you

the name of a skin doctor

and a eye doctor I want him to see.

Are you going to the veteran's dance?

Nobody asked me.

Are you seeing anybody?

I'm dating a policeman from Benton.

His idea of a good time is to buy a six pack

and drive a truck in a ditch.

He's getting possessive.

When they get that way I just have to get out .

That's probably why I care so much about Emmett.

He just didn't give a damn.

That made me possessive.

I just had to have him.

I'm glad to see that you are taking care of him .

Will you come over some time?

Ooh, said the spider to the fly.

I'll get Emmett to make lasagna.

I don't know.

Why? You don't like lasagna?

I like it well enough.

Oh come on over and help me get Emmett interested

in that veteran's dance.

I want to go in honor my daddy.

I don't want to go alone.

Well, maybe.

My mom never told me anything about my daddy.

What he was like

what his favorite foods were

or anything.

My mom acts like the Vietnam War

was back in the dark ages.

It was the dark ages, Sam.

Will you come?

We'll see if Emmett remembers how to dance.

Your momma called from Lexington.

She wants to know what's the big idea

of leaving that lousy message on her answering machine.

I'm not ready to talk to her yet.

What was the message?

Did ya eat?

I ain't hungry.

Did ya feed Moonpie?

I fed Moonpie.

Would you go to a doctor?

Anita gave me some names.

I been to the damn doctors.

What did they say?

Not much.

Did you tell them about the

headaches and the rashes?

Ya, I told them.

Can't they add two and two?

Higher than that.

They know where the bank is too.

And where it ain't.

I don't get you.

It's OK.

Would you go to these doctors?

I will if you leave me the Hell alone about it.

Oh boy, are you difficult.

I know.

There you go Lonnie.

There's your future. Franchise medicine.

McDoctors.

Doc in a Box.

Bob's Big Doc.

Very funny.

Oh, Mr. Smith right this way.

The doctor's waiting for you.

Come on. The doctor's waiting.

Your order's up.

Go get your Whopper.

I'm going up to the lake tomorrow with the guys.

Well, that's nice.

I need a little token of your affection.

What for?

Well, they're having a little stag party for my brother.

We all need to bring a little something.

You let me have a pair of your panties?

Black ones?

That's... that's ridiculous.

What, what.

Well, it is.

Show you care about me.

Make me think about you.

63 bucks?

Well?

Well, what?

What did he say?

Doctor McKaz?

Yes.

He tells me I gotta was my face ten times a day.

Or perhaps it is something I ate.

Or perhaps it is something

around the house like an allergy.

I figured he's going to ask me about cats.

I told him we didn't have any.

I was ahead of him on that one.

I asked him how many lab rats

he had to kill to figure all of this out.

Did he give you any medication?

He didn't give me no medication.

He give me one of those goddamn

TV doctor smiles and says

Mr. Smith,

I believe it's all in your head.

I said doc, tell me something I don't know.

Well how are you going to get it out?

Well, there's gotta be a way.

Jumping Jesus girl.

Don't come up on a man that way.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to sneak up on ya.

I just want to take a look at that Bug.

Well, check it out.

Is that it?

Yeah.

What do you need a car for

if you run all the time?

Everyone wants a car

so you can go places.

You sure you don't want a dirt bike?

It's a lot cheaper.

You can drive them in the dirt.

Fall off it don't hurt much.

I'll put one together and wreck it.

Just put me another one together.

Don't mean nothing.

Oh, everything means something.

Are you always so serious?

Don't you ever feel like the whole world's falling to pieces

and everybody is just paying attention to their little piece?

So nobody is doing anything

about what's really wrong.

It scares me.

What the Hell you're scared's gonna happen Sam ?

I'm afraid for Emmett.

Well Emmett's a character.

But he's probably not easy to live with.

Did he find his bird yet?

The Egrets?

Yeah.

There're some eagles down at Reelfoot Lake.

No, he's not looking for eagles.

He's seen eagles.

He's looking for an Egret.

I know.

They're just some things

we can't stop thinking about.

I've got a friend who thinks he might snap.

Lonnie Malone?

Yes, sir.

What do you think Lonnie Malone

knows about anything like that?

He'd need a map to find the bathroom.

Y'all going to get married?

No.

Well I heard you's gonna get married in September.

Why don't you got married.

In fact, why don't any of the vets

ever get along with women?

Ask Emmett.

Besides, I never said I didn't like women.

Emmett says you got wounded.

How?

Well ya see me and this piece of shrapnel

tried to occupy the same space at the same time.

See, so classic! That's what I mean.

It's so hard to ever get an answer to anything.

Sam, you might as well stop asking

questions about the war.

Nobody cares.

Nobody gives a sh*t.

Well, I do.

My daddy died over there

and I want to know what happened to him.

God, nobody will tell me anything.

Well you... you weren't there

so you can't understand it.

You want to take a test ride or not?
