an old f***ing army

f***ing pilot, okay?

I told him my dad flew in the

war, big f***ing sob story,

I told him what we were doing.

- Your dad was never

in the f***ing army.

- Don't worry about it, he

doesn't know that, let's go.

- Are you serious?

- Yes!

Come on!

- the hoover dam is

one of America's great

engineering feats.

It has enough concrete

in it to pave a road

all the way from San

Francisco to New York City.

It was built during the

great depression, and your

father always told me

that it was a testimony

to the great American spirit.

To make things go right

when things were tough.

- Who could pull

a plan together?

Tell me, look at me,

look at me right now!

Was that f***ing amazing?

- Yeah.

- Oh god, it was beautiful!

Mama Dee would have

loved that sh*t.

- Yeah she would have.

- She did love it.

Woo!

- Mommy, when is

daddy gonna be home?

- Daddy's gonna be

home soon, okay?

Now get back to bed.

- Lay off the throttle a little.

- Dude, I don't know

what she's doing,

making all kinds of

funky noises right now.

- Oh my god.

- Oh no no no, she's smoking.

- Yeah, this is not good.

- Oh my god.

- Look at the

f***ing Gauge, man!

Come on!

- These don't work, they

haven't moved in like a week!

- F***ing pull over.

- Jesus Christ.

What do you think it is?

- I don't know til

i get the hood up.

- Is she hot?

- Yeah.

- Ooh!

God damn.

Hook that?

- I got it.

- Watch your hand,

watch your hand.

Oh, f***.

Alright, it's smoking like this

and leaking that much, man.

Could be anything.

Water pump, thermostat,

i don't know man.

- Just needs some water.

- Yeah, even if we do

that, that's just gonna

buy us time.

We'll have to pull over

like every 15 miles.

- Dude, it's better

than nothing.

We need to keep going.

Let's put some water in

her and see what she needs.

Let her cool and get some water.

- Alright, I'm

gonna take a piss.

- Alright.

- Boom.

- What?

Demolition derby?

- Yeah.

$500.

- Are you serious?

You wanna enter

this into the derby?

- F*** yeah, why not?

- F***ing die trying, dude.

This thing can't even run.

- Who gives a sh*t?

- I put water in it

to keep it breathing.

- All it needs to do

is get f***ing smashed,

and it's my rv so

I'm gonna do it.

We need that money.

- You really wanna do this?

- What else are we

gonna f***ing do?

We need the money, we gotta

get you home, come on.

- F*** it.

Derby it is.

- Woo!

- Let's do it.

- It's a f***ing demolition

derby, what possible

requirements could you have?

- Like I told you before,

f*** nut, there's specific

modifications you have

to have to your vehicle

in order to enter the derby

and you don't have 'em.

There's specific

regulations for safety.

- Well do you have a

specific regulations for what

I can shove right up your ass?

- Whoa whoa clayne, clayne,

what the f*** are you doing?

Chill out.

- I tell you what I'm

gonna do, hip hop.

I'm gonna let you

enter the derby.

I'm even gonna give you

two the vehicle to drive.

But when you lose, and you

will lose, it's gonna be

$5,000 out of your pocket.

But if by some miracle

you do win, I'll pay you

and sweet cheeks $500 to

get the f*** out of here.

- It's what we came to do.

- Alright tiny, let's do it.

- Daisy, hand me the book.

So which one of you two pretty

little boys are gonna drive?

- Me.

- You gonna drive?

- I'm gonna get us home.

- Sign here.

Initial here and here.

Your car'll be out front.

- Do me a favor, charge

yourself a sleeve

to cover that stupid

f***ing tattoo.

Yo man, you sure

you wanna do this?

- Yeah, I have to.

- Man, honestly I think

we got a lot better chance

of winning that money

if I'm behind the wheel.

- I got this man,

trust me, alright?

- You f***ing did it man!

Right, you okay?

F***ing amazing, listen to

them, they f***ing love you.

Woo!

Alright, whichever way

this turns out we need

So we're gonna stash the

bags behind the shed,

if we get separated, meet

there and we're gonna

get the hell out, alright?

- Yeah, let's do it.

- Alright.

Hey.

What are we doing here?

- What do you mean?

- Why'd you push for

this trip so soon after

your mom passed?

- Stevie, I want

you to know I'm proud of you.

You're a good man.

You gave me a wonderful

grandchild who

lights up my world

and someday he's gonna

be a great person.

He may even build a monument

that stands for something

greater than all of us.

- Mom.

There're just rock and metal.

You spent your whole life

obsessing about them.

- They, they always--

- always what, mom?

- Gave me hope.

- Mom?

- F***, I'm sorry.

- Yeah.

Let's do this.

- That was awesome, man.

- That was pretty crazy.

So you sure you're gonna be

able to find a ride home?

- Come on, who you talking to?

Alright, take that

money, get your flight.

You earned it, wild man.

- I did.

I did.

- Plus, you know me.

I turn problems into solutions.

- Is that right, John Lennon?

- Yeah.

What a f***ing trip.

- Yeah, I'm never gonna

be able to look at

a United States

map the same way.

Every little no name

town, street sign,

it all means so much more

now, you know what I mean?

- Gonna try to kiss

me, aren't you?

- You'd like that.

- You poet.

- You'd like that.

- Weird question.

- Have no doubts, man.

- Saved a little

bit for aberdeen.

- Okay.

What's up boss?

Get home safe.

- How's it going?

Hold on one sec.

I believe you, man.

- About what?

- You say you want

to change your life.

- I'm just ready to make

people's lives better instead

of worse.

- You already have, man.
