Joe Dirt Page #3
...you might not know
where to find me.
You are gonna make some guy so happy.
I just hope whoever he is,
he deserves a girl like you.
God, that Brandy has a nice ass.
I got this loser talking about
the moon and walking his dog.
All the time, I'm thinking about
Brandy's well-manicured backyard...
...and those cut-off shorts.
Yeah, she's cool.
So there I was on my own again
looking for my parents.
- But I don't know their last names.
- It's Dirt.
Isn't that the name
on the family crest? Dirt.
No, my last name's Dirt.
My dad made it Dirt, for some reason.
I just put an "e" on it,
pronounce it "Dirt. "
It's no big deal.
It actually sounds pretty cool.
But I don't know their last name...
...and I remember my sister yelling
at my face when I was growing up...
That's why Dad named you Joe Dirt!
That's why Dad named you Joe Dirt!
That's why Dad named you
Joe Dirt instead of...
I couldn't remember my real last name.
- I knew they'd be hard to find.
- So what'd you do?
I needed some money.
I hopped a train out of Silvertown
and headed east for the big city.
Then I got lucky.
I got myself a real important job
in advertising.
Molar World. Walk-ins welcome.
There you go.
Molar World. One for the kid? Sure.
What's up?
Oh, my God!
Competition, orange '67.
This thing's a Hemi!
Ma'am, are you selling this car?
Literally just went onto the market.
Well, how much for it?
What do you got?
Practically nothing.
I'm looking for my parents.
They lost me at the Grand Canyon
more than ten years ago.
All my money goes towards that.
I don't have pictures of them.
You don't even have a picture?
Well, you know, my ex-husband,
before he died...
Oh. I'm sorry.
No. I killed him.
He used to beat me.
So one night I just pushed him
into the wood chipper.
Told the cops he fell.
Good for you.
But he used to be a police
sketch artist. He was damn good too.
Victims gave him the worst descriptions
and he'd draw them like photographs.
He could do anything.
You know? Like age progression and-
That's what I'll do for my parents.
How much that cost?
About 360 bucks.
Then that's what I need to make.
Thank you.
Sorry I can't buy your beautiful Hemi.
Oh, no. You can.
Give me what's in your pocket
and she's yours.
For real?!
You hear that, Charlie?
We got us a Hemi, brother.
That lady gave me a great idea.
Dirt! Storm's coming in!
Get up on that roof
and put some bricks in the tooth!
My tooth!
My tooth!
Back! Go back!
I can see down your shirt!
What an ass!
Hey, boss, I'm going on a break!
Airplane! Help me!
Oh, that's not professional.
I'd floated all the way
to North Dakota.
There I was, scared to death as I
dropped like a stone from the sky.
Go back! Go back!
Then an amazing thing happened.
I landed by an oil rig,
and they was hiring people.
The wage was like a sign from above...
...that I was meant
to find my parents.
Hey, Joe, come on down!
Get the drill!
Yeah, baby. Come on now. Get loose.
Whoops, that's me! I got it!
It's pumping. I'll pay for this!
I'm new!
I'm new! I don't know what to do!
You done with that apple core?
I'm done with that fart. Want that?
Maybe if it came out of Charlene
Tilton's ass, I'd take a bite.
You probably like J.R., you queer.
I saw your bumper sticker:
"Cowboys' butts drive me nuts. "
Is that right? You think
that's queer? Is this queer?
They're larging and charging,
looking for chickies.
You want to back that up?
Want to fight? Why don't you stick
your head up my butt and fight for air?
That's it. You and me. Let's go.
I'd love to beat your ass
up and down this place.
I got to go back to work.
Joe Dirt. You're fired.
Here's your week's pay.
Dang.
What's up here? What's down there?
What's going on, man? Here I come.
Luckily, my neck broke my fall.
I guess you won the battle.
But I won the war.
If you're covered in oil,
don't stand next to a fire.
Now that's day-one stuff.
Keep that Skoal, baby.
That's what I'm talking about.
So I had my 360 bucks. The next day
I would try the police sketch thing.
But something happened to my head.
I spent the night in what I thought
But I guess it was no circus.
I was totally bombed
on insecticide, I think.
So needless to say, I was in no shape
to do any good with my recollections.
The police sketcher
thought I was messing with him...
...because my dad came out
looking like Father Time...
...and my mom came out too butch...
...looking like Richard Ramirez,
the Night Stalker. Remember him?
As my head cleared, I realized
I needed a different approach.
Then I got a brainstorm:
Hire an Indian tracker to help me.
Great idea.
They could find anything.
It's like in the movies.
So I headed for a reservation.
You want me to put my ear to the
ground, listen for hoof beats...
...check for footprints...
...look for broken twigs?
But this is the modern age.
That stuff doesn't work anymore.
Which is why I had to open
this fireworks stand.
I wasn't getting by
on my tracking wages.
Come on. You're supposed to be
good at tracking stuff, man.
I gotta find my parents.
I need a way to sell more fireworks.
I'm going broke with this venture also.
I see you got snakes and sparklers,
but where's the good stuff, man?
Good stuff. This is the
good stuff. Snakes and sparklers.
Are you nuts, dude? You need
stuff that explodes, go boom.
- Why is that good?
- Well...
Well, you might as well
ask why is the tree good?
Why is the sunset good?
Why are b*obs good?
Firecrackers. You stick them
in mailboxes, drop them in toilets...
...shove them up a bullfrog's ass.
I'd never do that because
I'm going to be a veterinarian.
There you go.
Someone shoves an M-80 up a bullfrog's
butt, blows him to pieces...
...he comes back to you to fix it.
You win twice, brother. It's good biz.
You're saying you have no black cats,
Roman candles or screaming meemies?
Come on. You don't got no ladyfingers,
buzz bottles, snicker bombs...
...church burners, finger blasters, gut
busters, zippedy-doodas, crap flappers?
No, I don't.
owning a fireworks stand...
...and say you have
no whistling bungholes...
...spleen splitters, whisker biscuits,
honkey lighters, Hsker Ds and don'ts.
Cherry bombs, nipsy dazers, with
or without the scooter stick...
...or one single
whistling kitty-chaser?
No.
Because snakes and sparklers
are the only ones I like.
That might be your problem.
It's not what you like.
It's the consumer.
Look there. That's happening.
We should get bleachers over here.
People come from miles around
to see this.
Feast your eyes on a feast of smoke.
Oh, dang. It's out.
CNN will turn around and go home now.
I saw a snail over there. He said:
"That thing's slow, it ain't moving
fast, it's boring, dull, I'm yawning. "
- That's a snail watching that.
- There's a snail in the desert?
