It's not just for a girly girl

or a boy.

Do it again.

Oh, my Lord.

I think I fudged my pants.

Oh, those babies.

I just want to eat them up,

they're so precious.

There it is.

Sh*t, man, that was fun.

My God, we've done good, Ray.

Just like that game we won

against Solvang back in '89

when I made that key block

and basically walked into the end zone.

You remember, right, Ray?

My key block?

Turned out the little twerp

wasn't that hard to take down.

Just a bit of guts

and determination from all of us,

Dirk and company went over faster

than a one-legged cat in a sand box.

Let us down!

Good job, guys.

Pleasure's right here, Ray.

Get this thing off of me.

Somebody help!

That hurts, goddamn it.

Let's get the record straight, punk.

You're going to apologize right now

for making life a dark, ugly experience

in this here community,

or Scotty's going to teach you

what true pain is.

We clear?

Eat me.

Got another surprise for you.

Merl?

Sasquatch Two,

this is Sasquatch One.

We're ready

for Operation Clean Sweep.

Roger that, Sasquatch One.

You and your cohorts

are going to take a nice long time out.

Gentlemen.

No f***ing way.

I didn't do nothing.

Well, we don't see it that way.

Take care now.

Somebody help me.

Candy, Tammy, Wanda, Jeanine?

I made this town.

I made this town what it is.

You all have roofs over your head

because of me,

all of your ugly-ass heads.

Oh, no.

He's gonna be crying.

He's going to prison,

gonna learn his lesson.

He's off.

Oh, hey.

Hey, hold on, hold on.

Can I just say a few more things?

What if I, like, turn over

a whole new loaf,

or whatever that is,

and I'll change?

Sorry, Spoon.

You go clean up and come back,

and we'll make nice, deal?

All right, deal.

Wait, you're pinching my wrist.

Ray, you know, my wife is

in need of a little rehab herself.

I was thinking maybe

we could put her on a bus.

You're gonna have

to deal with that on your own.

God, I hate to piss that woman off.

Right on schedule.

Those girls over there.

Well, Ray...

I'll see you around.

Well, what now, Ray?

I guess that's up to us.

You know how they say

"The more things change,

the more they stay the same"?

Well...

Can you believe this?

Sounds nice.

Nora...

Remember awhile back,

you asked me why I never left Trona?

Yes, I do.

Well, it was 'cause of you.

This place is hell, Nora,

but knowing I'd get to come through

that Rite-Valu door every day

and see your sweet face

made it paradise.

Ditto.

What the hey was that?

It's called a French kiss.

A what?

It's a little more intimate

than a regular kiss.

I read about it recently

in one of those Harlequin books

over in the miscellaneous section,

aisle three.

It sure was different.

Kind of like a toothbrush...

but I liked it.

You can try it if you want to.

Okay.

You sure?

Whatever you're comfortable with.

I think I'm getting the hang of it.

There are two types of heroes.

One changes himself,

the other changes

those around him.

Is that some of your

famous lemon meringue?

Recipe's been in my family

for generations.

Bring on a slice or two.

Coming right up. Den?

Well, I guess in the end,

Ray was both.

I'll help you, darling.

Right this way, folks.

R'ch'lle, you're doing a great job.

How's the back holding up, hon?

Just fine, Ray.

Eddie, I think we're gonna need

to add another pastry chef.

I'm already on it, Pop.

Hey, where can a man and his missus

get something to eat around here?

- How have you been, friend?

- Ray, how you doin'?

It looks like

we're on the same schedule.

- Nora, you look really nice.

- Hi.

- You know Angel?

- Yes. Hi.

Well, we were just driving around,

and we thought

maybe we'd come to see

what kind of progress

you were making.

I wanna tell you, Ray,

you got it all.

I am so proud of you.

Well, couldn't have done it

without you.

I know that.

How about a table

for a couple hungry people?

Oh, by the way,

I heard that meringue is to die for.

Right this way.

Maybe the American dream

does still exist,

even for my friend Ray...

and even in a place like Trona.
