right down the middle, bub,

or I'm going to kick

your ass

from here to Dixie.

OK. I'll make the deal.

I don't kick the crap

out of you this year,

you don't kick the crap

What's going on?

Can anybody just show me

how he's going to make it

He's got all four rafts.

He's got his kid brother.

That God damn family...
