Medal of Victory Page #2

and I watched him walk away,

and I watched the path

that they walked.

I snuck up

to where the house was

and they had

no security outside.

I mean, I said, "f*** it,"

so I kicked in that door.

You know,

I just started shooting.

I ended up killing

everyone in the house.

So I'm staggering

outside the house,

and I get on the radio and I

told them, "send it heavy."

Next thing I remember,

I woke up in the hospital.

You know, I couldn't sleep.

I can't sleep.

And the funniest thing

about it is

through all of that,

they give me this,

because I didn't die.

Like it means something.

Grab it, touch it.

Touch it.

And that little piece of flair

is supposed to make

everything just a-okay.

Now, take this time

you have before you leave,

and look at yourself,

'cause you're never

coming back the same.

Here's to you.

Paul, I'm sick of this sh*t.

Get over here now.

The wife.

Yeah, I heard you,

your voice carries.

This doesn't look like you

went to the store.

Are you gonna get hit

in the other eye?

I did. I got

groceries in the car.

Are you drunk? Want to get

hit in the other eye?

Wanna few more drinks,

you wanna have a few more?

Can we get a few more

drinks over here?

- Hi, I'm Ann Marie.

- And I'm Reginald.

And we're two

of the happiest people on earth

thanks to the help of one man.

Harold w. Maddox,

of Townville financial.

- Hi, Harry.

- Hi Ann Marie.

Hi, Reggie.

How's your new home?

It's everything we ever dreamed

it could be, Harry.

I'm overjoyed.

Friends, you know me,

I'm Harry Walter Maddox,

founder and CEO

of Townville financial.

And I'm running to be

your next mayor.

Why, you ask?

Let's just say it's because

I know what dreams are made of.

Yes?

Another round

for everybody, please.

And I say, "be not afraid,

tonight everyone

goes home for supper."

Your life is amazing.

You know what?

It is.

I think...

Oof, I'm drunk.

Stay with me tonight.

What are you doing?

- Hey, let's go.

- You're disgusting!

Hey! What?

No, wait!

What did I do?

Thanks a lot, man.

I was like this close.

Yeah, maybe on a map where

that's like a thousand miles.

- Are you drunk?

- No.

- You drunk?

- No.

2.5! Ooh!

You all right, man?

Always.

You need a ride?

No, uh, no, man, I'm fine.

I'm just gonna just

psych myself up here.

- Hoo-ah.

- Hoo-rah.

Quit, uh, excuse me,

you're driving.

Are you crazy?

I'm not driving.

Well, I'm not driving either.

No, why would I say that?

I love you.

You're drunk.

Hello?

Oh, boy.

It's coming.

Pull over.

- No, hold it in.

- No, pull over.

- Hold it in.

- Pull over.

Whoo!

That's the good stuff.

Can you hear that?

Maybe it's another road?

Yeah.

Another road.

Was that marine

driving a white truck?

F***! F***!

- In my pocket.

- Just breathe, man.

We'll get you to a hospital.

- Just take it!

- What?

It's the death of me.

Thank you.

- Give me your phone.

- Why?

I'm calling police.

You crazy?

We're both awol driving drunk.

And you took his medal.

I didn't take it.

He gave it to me.

Do you think anyone's

gonna believe that?

Fine.

We'll drive a minute,

then call it in.

That's the first dead body

I've ever seen.

How much gas we got left?

Half a tank.

Or less.

F***.

Just let me do the talking.

All right, you f***ing

perpetrators,

sheriff's department.

Put your hands

where I can see 'em.

Hands! Now!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Step outside.

Better keep your hands up.

My partner here is working

on two hours of sleep

and he's got a loaded weapon

pointed right at your head.

Hands on the hood!

It's not our fault.

- You hear that, Rayburn?

- Not their fault.

Someone walked into the bar

and force fed these two invalids

a whole pint of whiskey, and then

sent them back out on the road.

F***ing invalids.

- You gotta be kidding me.

- I said shut the f*** up.

Shut the f*** up, yes, sir.

- What's that, chunky?

- Ow! F***ing a**hole.

- Sh*t. -Did you forget

your cuffs again, sheriff?

Get over here

and give me a hand.

- Put the shotgun down.

- Right.

Sheriff.

What is this?

Well, goddamn.

This is yours?

Whose else would it be,

Cro-Magnon man?

Look!

The medal of victory!

- Damn.

- Look, officer...

He's modest.

Goddamn it, Rayburn.

How many times

do I have to tell you?

Put it down.

Now cut it out!

Do you wanna go to jail first

and then to the brig?

It's not mine and never will be.

- I'm not wearing it.

- Just pretend.

Here, put your uniform on,

soldier.

- Perfect!

- Rick Ford.

First name's Rick,

last name's Ford.

Say, I didn't catch

your boys' names.

Well, we're really

in a rush, Rickford.

Rick Ford.

Come on, let's go

get you some eggs.

Thank you, but I think we'll

just catch 40 winks right here

until the sun rises.

On the road?

Son, you are drunk.

Come on, you boys

are going with me.

Hop on board.

You boys out on detail

or something?

Personal business stuff

for my family.

It's family business.

It's personal.

Sheriff Ford, call the office.

Hicks, here.

There's bring a break in

at city hall

and a robbery

in the mayor's office.

Mayor's office.

On our way.

Proceed with extreme caution.

And a beautiful morning it is.

Whoo!

Excuse me, ma'am.

Ma'am?

Ma'am?

Did you see either

of these men here last night?

You ready, deputy?

Good man.

Ransacked.

And how many people did you say

you saw on the security tape?

Oh, there were three...

No, uh, maybe four people.

It's cued up on the inside.

Don't you let

anyone see you in there.

When are you gonna

trust me, Wallace?

What are you doing here?

- Beat it!

- You beat it.

- You seen Rayburn?

- No!

Sheriff, what happened in there?

You, come with me.

- You, scram.

- Enough.

Let's go, sheriff.

Tell me, Rick,

or Kentucky bourbon I smell?

Hi.

- Hold on.

What is it?

I love you.

What the f***, Floyd!

They say I gotta ship out

to Guam, I go to Guam.

- What was I supposed to do? -You're

supposed to f***ing tell me about it.

Well, I'm telling you now.

Oh, my...

Come home.

Just talk to me.

I love you.

- Hello?

- I just got to the airport.

Listen, I'll call home

when I can.

You can go f*** yourself!

Look, they say I go to Guam,

Goodbye, Floyd.

- What is that?

- Is this the medal of Vic...

- No.

- It's the medal of victory?

- Well, yeah.

- What's all this sh*t?

Oh, your boss' office was

just ransacked. Comment?

Do you ever sleep?

Who's this?

It's Mcmasters.

Voting for Ted crump, I hope.

I'm not voting for anybody.

- You what?

- He's not voting.

It's a pleasure.

Blaine, excuse me, but your

boss's office was just pillaged,

- perhaps you'd like to say something?

- Learn not to f*** up

a few quotes,

I'll give you a few more.

Stay right there,

- Listen, Grady.

- No, you listen.

I'm gonna go back in there

and take some pictures.

Here is my cell. If you see anyone

coming close to the building...

- Take the card.
