And we're not driving down to Lincoln

over a stupid fantasy!

It's my own damn fault

for taking you this far.

You've got enough money to get by.

You can't drive.

What's the point?

I want a new truck.

Why do you need a truck so bad?

Just to have it.

I always wanted a brand-new truck.

Well, what about the

rest of the money?

You don't need a million dollars

for a damn pickup truck.

It's for you boys.

I wanted to leave you something.

We're fine, Dad.

We don't need it.

I just wanted to leave you something.

You know if there was

any chance you won, I'd take you.

You know that, right?

I wouldn't lie to you.

I know.

Look, the only reason

I agreed to take you to Lincoln

was to get out of Billings for a while,

and maybe have some time with you.

And to get you to shut up.

All right.

All right, what?

I'll shut up.

And what about Lincoln?

We don't have to go.

Good.

Dad! Dad.

Hey.

So, they can keep him here

until tomorrow afternoon or so.

And then I guess

we'll just start driving home.

We'll probably see you Tuesday night.

Okay. Thanks, David.

Mom and I will head out

early tomorrow morning.

I have to get back, so...

And I'm gonna have

to listen to him harp

about losing his fortune

for the rest of his life.

Or my life.

He's gonna bury me at this rate.

You big idiot.

You want this open or closed?

Might as well close it.

Dad?

Wait, Dad. Dad.

You can't go in like that.

Come on, you have

to get your robe off.

Here. Come back here.

Hi. Can I help you?

Hi.

My father is here to

collect his million dollars.

Dad, give me the letter.

I'm sorry, your number wasn't

one of the winning numbers.

Looks like you didn't win.

But it says I won.

It says you won if your number

is one of the winning numbers.

I'm sorry, sir.

I hope you guys didn't

have to come too far.

Montana.

Oh, my.

Well, Dad, I guess that's it.

I can give you a free gift,

like a hat or a seat cushion.

You want a hat or

a seat cushion?

Huh?

Do you want a hat

or a seat cushion?

A hat.

He'll take the hat.

Does this happen a lot?

Yeah. Every once in a while.

Usually older people

like your father.

Does he have Alzheimer's?

He just believes stuff

that people tell him.

Oh. That's too bad.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Dad?

Dad.

I'm here.

We're going back

to Billings, okay?

Okay.

We might make

a couple quick stops first.

Whatever you want.

I don't understand

what's happening with your car.

Well, they made me

a real good offer for it.

It's not much of a car.

Yeah, this truck is a real step up.

It's only five years old.

It's practically brand-new.

Oh, and I hope you don't mind...

I put your name on the title.

My name is on the title, you say?

Yeah, but you're gonna

have to let me drive it.

You work out something

with the prize people?

Yeah.

They were willing to go

as far as the truck.

Come on, get in.

Okay, Dad,

it's your turn to drive.

You said I couldn't.

Just drive it down Locust Street.

It's only a few blocks.

There's no traffic.

Come on.

It's your truck.

Hey, there!

Looking good, Woody!

Get down.

- What?

- God damn it! Get down!

Looking good!

So long, Albert.

So long, Woody.
