Nebraska

Hey, partner.

Hold on there, just a second.

Where are you headed, there?

Where are you headed up to?

How are you doing there, bud?

Huh? Are you okay?

Where are you headed?

You headed down the road, there, huh?

Huh?

Where are you coming from?

Yeah?

There he is.

Thank you.

Well, there's the man of the hour.

The what?

The man of the hour.

I... I don't know.

So, you told the sheriff

that you were walking to Nebraska?

That's right.

To get my million dollars.

What million dollars?

"We are now authorized to

pay one million dollars

"to Woodrow T. Grant

of Billings, Montana."

Let me see that.

And your mother won't take me.

"Mega Sweepstakes Marketing."

Dad, this is a total come-on.

It's... It's one

of the oldest gimmicks in the book.

I didn't even know

they still did it anymore.

Well, they can't say it if it's not true.

They're just trying to

sell you magazines.

It says I won.

So, mail it in.

I'll help you.

I'm not trusting the mail

with a million dollars.

You dumb cluck.

You pretty near gave me a heart attack!

Just cool your jets.

This is the second time

he's tried to sneak out.

I never knew the son of a b*tch

even wanted to be a millionaire.

He should have

thought about that years ago

and worked for it.

What would you do with

a million dollars anyway, Dad?

Buy a new truck.

You can't drive.

I'll get my license back.

Tell me when you do,

so I can stay off the road.

I need an air compressor, too.

Are you still harping on that?

Ed Pegram still has mine.

That's because he's a thief.

He's not a thief.

I lent it to him.

Who's Ed Pegram?

A guy I knew back in Hawthorne.

And when did he borrow it?

'74.

That's almost 40 years.

He lives two states away.

I'd say he stole it.

That's why I need a new one.

Where are you off to now?

Sitting down.

He even sleeps

with that stupid letter.

He's memorized it word for word.

I didn't think he could

memorize anything anymore.

Hey, what's with this casserole?

Oh, it's lasagna.

It's still good, take it.

You know what I'd do

with a million dollars?

I'd put him in a home.

But that's not to say

that I can't set you up

with a whole lot more

reasonable speakers

that'll still blow your mind

if you're worried that

the Wilsons or Paradigms

are going to set you back too much.

You know, the way they

design speakers anymore...

You can't make a mistake.

Okay.

All right, well, yeah, let's...

We need to discuss it

and we'll get back to you.

- Oh.

- I'll let you know.

Let me, uh, give you a card.

Give me a call any time

if you have any more questions.

- All right, thank you.

Excellent.

Mark, Janice, a pleasure.

"Janice."

"Janice." Sorry.

David. Call, line one.

David Grant. Call, line one.

Where did they find him this time?

Way the hell out

on King Avenue by the Albertsons.

I can't take it anymore.

Ross is in there, trying to talk

some sense into him.

Ross.

Hi, David.

What's going on, Dad?

Ask Ma and Ross.

They seem to know it all.

I'm asking you.

Can't get her to turn over.

That's because ifs been

sitting there for 10 years.

Oh, I'll get it running.

He still thinks

he's going to Lincoln to get his money.

Hey, Dad, how come you didn't

fix the truck first or take a bus?

Why did you just start walking?

Don't pull his chain like that.

The poor guy doesn't

know what's going on half the time.

I cut the solenoid wire

and stuck it back in

so that'll slow him down.

And Mom's right.

It's time to think about a home.

She can't

handle him anymore. It's not fair to her.

No. He doesn't need a nursing home.

He just...

The guy just needs something to live for.

That's all this is about.

Yeah, and it's pathetic.

Seems like drinking always gave him

more than enough to live for until now.

Mom and I are looking at reality,

and you'd better start, too.

A home is in his best interests.

Which, let's face it,

is a hell of a lot more

than he ever thought about with us.

He never gave a sh*t about you or me.

I saw you anchoring the other night.

- Nice job.

- Thanks.

It's your first time in the chair, right?

Yeah, Kelly Ann Castillo called in sick,

so they let me fill in.

And apparently I didn't

stink the place up too bad, so...

Tom Brokaw.

The new Tom Brokaw of Billings.

I don't know

about "Tom Brokaw" exactly,

but, yeah, ifs looking pretty good.

I've paid my dues.

Plus, Kelly Ann's got

a pretty bad infection, so...

Bu! opponents,

led by Councilman Barry Tilden,

claim the plan is

a "Pie in the Big Sky idea"

that will cost taxpayers

more than it's worth.

The Council is expected

to debate the propose!

In Monday's session.

Coming up next, in sports...

Carter brings us the story

of a Hardin snowmobiler

who may have lost his legs,

but not his will to compete.

That, and more,

after the break. Stay with us.

Hi.

Are you moving back in?

No, these are yours.

I'm just returning them.

Oh, right. Thanks.

You want to come in?

David, you need to water these plants.

These are plants.

I'd like you to change your mind.

What does that mean?

You know what it means.

I want you to move back in.

But I just moved out.

So, two years and we're back to dating?

I don't know yet.

We'll find out in a while.

Are we still having sex?

I've got to go.

Wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait. Come on.

Are you saying that we

can't be together again

unless we get married?

Get married, break up...

I don't know.

Let's do both.

Let's... Let's do something.

Pick up or call me back,

- right now.

- Sh*t.

I don't know what

I'm going to do with him.

I'm going to put him in a...

Hi, Mom. I'm here.

Dad.

Dad!

Leave me alone.

Come on, let me take you home.

I'm going to Lincoln

if it's the last thing I do.

I don't care what you people think.

Listen to me. You didn't win anything.

It's a complete scam.

So you've got to stop this, okay?

I'm running out of time.

You don't even have a suitcase.

I'm not staying there.

Dad.

I can't let you go.

It's none of your business.

Yes, it is. I'm your son.

Well, then why don't you take me?

I can't just drop everything

and drive to Lincoln, Nebraska.

Oh.

What else you got going on?

Have you lost your marbles, too?

Get your father out of your car

this goddamned instant.

You need to help me.

I'm the one who does

all the work around here.

Your father just sits there.

Look at him. He's useless.

His mother spoiled him.

Mom, don't worry, okay?

We'll only be gone a couple of days.

Why don't you just enjoy the time alone?

You always complain

about having him around.

What about your job?

Well, I told them I was sick.

Sick in the head.

I'm going to tell Ross to call you.

He'll back me up.

Right. Sounds great. Bye, Mom.

You're just like your father.

Stubborn as a mule!

Let me know when you

get tired. I'll drive.

You can't drive.

I can drive a hell of a lot better

than that moron.

All right, Dad.

I can drive a hell of a lot better

than that moron.

Sh*t.

Jesus Christ, Dad,
