Logan Lucky
Now, the story goes
that John Denver,
he was playin'
at this little ol' place
called the cellar door
in Washington, DC--
around christmastime in 1970.
And his opening act
was this husband and wife duo
named bill danoff
and Taffy nivert.
And they called themselves
fat city.
That's kind of
a funny name.
Yeah, that is
kind of a funny name.
Socket.
Uh, 5/8ths.
Now, one night they decide
to go on back to the house
and have a little jam session.
On the way
they got in an accident
and John Denver,
he broke his thumb.
When they finally
got back to the house
and bill and Taffy played him--
played John Denver this song
they'd been working on,
he flipped for it, man.
They worked on that thing
till dawn.
Screwdriver.
Flat head
or Phillips?
Flat.
So that's why
you like the song.
Well, I like the song
because of the song.
I mean,
i guess I also like it
'cause it's got a story
behind it.
You know,
that he ain't never even
been to West Virginia.
Well, I like the song too,
but I don't really think
it'll work for the pageant.
Pliers.
Regular
or needle-nose?
Needle.
Are you coming
to my rehearsal?
Yeah.
I'm gonna pick you up
right after work.
Just so you know, I asked
mommy if she and moody would
pay for your cell phone.
She said
even if they did,
you wouldn't take it.
Sadie-bug,
she's right.
The only thing...
I need a cell phone for
Gun show.
Hey, daddy.
Nope.
What you say, Cal?
Hey, Jimmy.
Come on in.
Shut that door,
would ya?
Yeah.
Have a seat.
Jimmy, I'm just gonna say it.
I gotta let you go.
Cal, i--
I didn't even do nothin'.
I know you didn't
do nothin'.
But last week,
someone in hr saw you leavin',
walkin' out to your truck,
and they saw
you was limping.
So?
My leg ain't got nothin' to do
with driving that case.
I know that. I know.
But the folks
over in the big office,
they feel different,
and they said you didn't
list it on your paperwork
when you was first brought on.
No!
And they're calling it
a "pre-existing condition"
and that it is
a liability issue.
Okay, this big then.
This big.
And you let me
drive my truck
around the track.
No.
It's a four-wheel drive.
I can get 150--
purple lady,
you know my brother Jimmy?
Oh, Jimmy Logan.
That ballplayer
that was gonna be
a big deal?
Hey, purple lady.
My husband,
the major,
when he was still alive,
he loved lsu football.
Whenever they'd show the games
here local, we'd watch.
Course, for me it was
all about the uniforms.
Their jerseys are the most
striking shade of purple.
Purple.
Yes, purple.
And gold.
Royal colors.
Yeah,
i got off early,
so I figured I'd take Sadie
on over to her dance thing
so you didn't have to drive her.
Well, that's great and all,
you wantin' to see your daughter
dance and everything,
but it was yesterday.
Sh*t.
Excuse you!
I got her there fine,
by the way.
See, most people think
if you're gonna
go to Charleston,
then, duh, you get on
the 85 for danville,
then the i-19 to Charleston.
Fifty-four miles.
But being 4:
00 P.M., I knew--not the best time of day
to be on the road.
And they're still doing
all that shoulder work
on the i-19.
Plus, then you got the sun
right in your eyes
for that whole stretch
outside of Julian.
So, yeah,
i took the 85 to danville,
but then I hopped onto the 3.
So instead of going up and over,
I'm going over and then up.
After that,
it was just a straight shot
all the way to marmet.
It sure sounds like
you love to drive.
It was just rehearsal.
Not like the real pageant.
But Bobbie Jo was not happy.
Why didn't you call me?
Tried, but your cell phone
seems to have been turned off.
You should pay your bills.
Everyone needs a cell phone.
I don't like 'em.
You one of them
unabomber types?
Yeah. I am
one of them
unabomber types.
See, I don't like people
tellin' me what to do,
like answer the phone.
Hey.
Oh, this is gonna
be good.
Look, I'm sorry.
Okay? I'm sorry.
I thought it wa--
i knew it was 4:
00.I just thought
it was 4:
00 today.That's the first time
you've used that excuse.
Look, I said I was sorry.
Mellie said y'all figured
it out just fine anyway.
She also tell you
that she got pulled over
goin' 30 miles
over the speed limit
with my daughter in the car?
That's our daughter.
Sadie said her aunt Mellie
worked her Mellie magic
and talked the cops
into not giving her a ticket.
So that's a real good
character-building experience
for our daughter to witness.
Don't laugh at me!
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
Forget it.
Wh-what's up with
the "for sale" sign
out there?
You didn't tell me
you and moody's
buyin' a new house.
Daddy!
Hey!
What are you
doin'?
Nothin'.
Ow! Ow! Man!
Hey, me and your mama was just
talkin' about maybe me and you
goin' to get some ice cream.
I'm not allowed
ice cream anymore.
Says who?
Mommy.
She says it's got
too many calories
and that nobody
loves a fat girl.
You ain't fa--
I think that's
a little bit harsh.
This is some of that
co-parenting stuff
you and I need to talk about.
That Dr. Phil stuff.
Hey, Jimmy.
Hey, moody.
What's goin' on,
sweetie?
Thank you.
Hey! Hey, you two
don't settle down,
you ain't gon' get no mall!
Daddy,
will you come with?
to see that new
furious fast movie at the mall.
You want in?
Uh... it's a little--
it's a little intense
for the kids, ain't it?
No, they love it.
Keeps em quiet.
They sit there, staring at
scared shitless.
- You wanna come?
- Please?
I gotta get, um--
get on goin' to work.
You know?
Aw.
Ain't got time
for a whole movie.
But you go and have fun.
Give me a hug.
No, my back!
We're gonna get
some ice cream. Promise?
Okay.
But it's gotta be yogurt,
'cause I got the pageant
coming up.
Oh, I finally know
what song I'm gonna sing
for talent!
What song?
"Umbrella" by Rihanna.
When Rihanna sings "umbrella,"
she's not really singing
about a rain umbrella.
She's really singing
about her vagina.
It's code.
- Who told you that?
- Everybody.
Come on! Let's go!
Everybody in the expedition!
Whoo!
Hey, kiss your mother when you leave.
Aw. Thank you.
See ya, sweetie.
Bye.
Mmm.
-Hey.
-Yeah?
I wasn't done
talkin' to you yet.
Okay.
What am I in trouble for now?
We need to talk about
some legal stuff.
Hey, uh, Jimmy,
uh, your car?
Moody,
can you give us
a minute?
Okay.
Legal stuff?
You was askin' about
the "for sale" sign.
Yeah.
Moody's expandin'.
His family's opening up
a new dealership
down in lynchburg.
That's across
the state line.
Hell, no. You can't just
tell me that, like I ain't
got no say in the matter.
You'll still
get your days.
Just we'll be in lynchburg.
state line to pick her up.
I have full custody.
It's not happenin'.
I'm gettin' a lawyer.
