Don't you stand there! Get in!

Are you crazy? You'll get us killed! Get out of here!

You gotta get in the car immediately!

We did it, we did it.

I planned the whole thing and it worked.

You're out, you're free. Hey, come on,

aren't you happy? Aren't you gonna thank me?

Yeah, thanks a lot. I got parole on Friday.

Well, I could use a good fried chicken dinner.

If you do just exactly like I tell you

we'll get us a fried chicken.

Put your stuff down here, right there.

Go on.

All right.

Sh*t.

- Go!

- What? I'm going. You go on!

Lokk what I'm doing.

Howdie.

Good looking dog you got there. Is he friendly?

No, he ain't.

Tchicky, tchicky, tchicky.

Here, tchicky tchicky, come on.

I am looking for kinfolk. The name's Tolliver.

- Wait, what's the name?

- Tolliver.

- Never heard of 'em.

- What's up, Ma? - Don't bother.

They moved out here out of Oklahoma about a year ago.

No, Pa, I think there's a weasel in the henhouse again.

Whatch this. What's he running for?

Sh*t.

You can't even grab us a lousy chicken.

You can't even do a simple thing like that.

I'm alergic to chickens and I'm scared of chickens.

Nobody's scared of a chicken.

Well, I am.

You're pathetic.

They made a big mistake when they put in a job.

They've should send you up to a funny-farm.

Quit to bitchen and eat your dinner.

I spend

two whole years

planning what I was gonna do when I got out,

and this ain't what I was intended to do.

Well, you're out and you're free.

Free? You call this free?

Lord, I hate this mess.

What is this mess anyway?

Rabbit.

Rabbit?

Where did you get a rabbit?

Off the highway.

You scraped up a squashed rabbit off the road

and you fed it to me? Are you crazy?

It was warm. It's fresh meet, Al.

If you wanna cook, you cook!

Dude, give me a great reason or something...

This is just great!

Here goes another night without dinner.

It's funny, ain't it?

Half of us won't starve to death.

Another head just stuck in the gut.

The lord heat us poor beggars at all.

That faithful afternoon my father said to him:

"Governer, if that's your decision, fine,

but you'll regret it."

Judge Collier, you knew my father very well.

A very good man.

You've missed the amusing part, which was

that my father hadn't never ... against him.

Savannah.

What you're doing here?

I want my mommy.

Go back to your room. I'll call your mom.

At which point Governer Pearce changed his entire campaign,

not knowing what dad was up to.

I mean, it was a brilliant piece of political maneuver,

but I don't think it was exactly what he wanted.

Dad said...

What is it, Joan?

Oh, it's Savannah. She wants me to say good night to her.

But, Joan, he's right in the middle of his story.

That's odd.

Monique, give her 25 cents for her piggy bank.

Tell her I'm up as quick as I can.

- Please, Richard, continue your story.

- Oh, yes, please.

My dad convinced him to change his campaign, and he did,

and dad ran against him and won.

That's wonderful.

- Tomorrow I'll be getting trouble.

- Trouble?

You havn't fot half the trouble I've got.

The race for the senate seat was probably

the culmination of a lifelong dream.

Here's to you.

Damn right.

- I'm going to teach my mother a lesson.

- Me, too.

I'm just waiting for one more thing to happen.

- Me, too.

- Spanky.

What do you want now?

I'm about to have dancing lessons and so are you.

- Mom said so.

- Dancing lessons?

That's terrible.

- They won't hold me. Are you with me?

- You can count on me. We can fix that.

We'll talk to you later. Okay.

- Good night.

- Thank you. - Bye.

If I get judge Collier's support, it will be a miracle,

an absolute miracle.

What are you're talking about? You have his support.

He knows nobody else will win.

He was your father's best friend.

You...

talking in the middle of my story, the confusion

could've dropping them all.

We must've truly made a great impression.

We don't have to impress Bill Collier.

Of course we do. He's chief justice of the Supreme Court of the

State. He also happens to be head of the party. I need him.

You've got him.

I'm sorry the evening didn't go well for you.

- I thought it was delightful.

- Joan...

You don't really wan't me to run for the senate, do you?

Oh, Richard, please, it's a little late in the day

to be worrying what I want, don't you think?

That is not true.

And I need my wife's support above all.

You have it.

And if it's winning you want,

you win.

Savannah?

Sweety?

I told you to get rid of the car. You call this a car?

It's the only one I could find.

Besides, it was easy. Somebody left the keys in.

Sure, it's one way to get rid of it.

- Hey, Joan!

- Yes, I'm coming.

Keep Savannah...

- Goodbye, honey.

- We're late. - See you tomorrow.

- We've only 30 mins, let's go.

- Goodbye, Monique, and

get Spirit. Bye, bye, honey, love ya.

Now don't you go chicken on me. This tank has cash.

This thing with armed robberies stinks, Alvie.

You just do what I tell you!

Look at this place. It's a dump!

- We aren't gonna make a score here!

- You leave that to me! I've decided that.

- Come on!

- I don't feel good about this.

Look...

All you gotta do is to wait there and

to stand by that door. Okay?

I'll go inside, grab the cash, and we're out of here. Okay?

- It ain't gonna work, Alvie!

- Of course it's gonna work! Now, come on!

- Will you get out of the car?

- Do we have to do this?

- Get out of the car, now!

- All right, all right, I'm coming.

Have a nice day. Come on.

- Good morning. Ah, the polens got to you too, I see.

- Shut up! This is a stick-up!

- Are you kidding?

- No, I ain't kidding!

Open that register, put the money in the sack,

and make it fast!

All right. But you'll be not very happy with the amount.

- Well, give me what's in the register. What you got there?

- Hm, let's see.

We got, uh...

18 dollars and, um...

33 cents.

- Hardly worth the trouble.

- Give me that. Hey, Boots!

Get in here! Get in here fast!

- Put all you can get in this, and make it fast!

- You won't get away with this!

- All this effort for lousy 19 dollars and 43 cents?

- 33 dollars and 43 cents!

- Alvie, leave him alone!

- Do what I told you!

- Come on. Let's get out of here!

You're going to jail because I'm calling the police

as soon you get out of here!

They will catch you! You hear me?

Please, Alvie, come on! Let's get out of here!

You put that back or you're gonna be sorry!

You heard what I said?

Come on, let's get out of here!

- Grab the bag! Come on!

- Come back here! You come back here!

Help! I'm being robbed! Help!

- The car won't start.

- What you're gonna do?

It's one hell of get-away car. I'll take care of it.

Here, Ill fix it. Here, grab that. And shut him up!

Help! You don't even have a real gun. That's a toy pistol.

My grand kids got one just like that.

- Oh, yeah? Yeah?

- Help! Help! Somebody help! Help!

Help! Help! Please, help, help!

- Shut up! Shut up!

- Somebody help!
