Smart choice. Next.

Hey, where's your boy?

and you're gonna see him sooner

than you want to there, Zwick.

How about a picture?

You got a picture of the guy?

Hey, looks like

them traps pretty

hard there, Stewart.

Not now, Laverne.

Hey, what the hell

kind of language is that?

It's a language he invented.

He's my little brother.

He's a genius.

We talk that way

to keep things private.

It gives me the creeps.

He gives me the creeps.

Besides, I like the way...

you're always cultivating

interesting new people.

I thought they were nice.

I really did.

And I can certainly understand

your attraction...

to that little country girl.

She was sweet.

You want some iced tea?

Craig, I'm so glad you came.

I knew you'd get over

all that silliness.

You look like

your old self again.

Can we go to Anniston

this weekend?

Tootie and Charles have some

English friends in town...

and Becky Farr's driving in

from Nashville.

Don't you understand?

She's not coming in.

Why? Just because

she split the blanket...

with that pretty boy Blake?

Now, you tell her

I'll take care of her.

You know how I feel

about Mary Tate.

Sure, I do.

Thor, there's a guy downstairs.

Says he wants to talk to you.

I'm busy!

He ain't here to take out

no membership.

This guy's a dude. Said he's got

a business proposition for you.

I'll be down in a minute.

How come Joe ain't back?

Tomorrow's the contest.

He'll be back.

I talked to him last night.

Run on over to the auditorium

and check out the lights.

I don't want nothing

to go wrong, do you hear me?

Do I look deaf?

- Newton?

- Yeah!

You see this here money?

Sit down,

right here in my chair.

Keep your hands on that shoebox

and your eye on that door...

and don't you move till

I get back. Do you understand?

When Joe wins

this prize money...

there's a big bonus

in it for you.

What can I do for you?

Mr. Erikson.

Jabo,

your license number 67163?

- 64.

- 64.

Say, this guy's here on business

from Cleveland, say.

Poor bastard missed

a connection in Atlanta...

been traveling all day long...

and he checks into this place

around 9:
00 at night.

He's tired. He don't feel good.

Know what I mean?

So what's he gonna do?

I'll tell you what.

He don't know how to get him

no ass in Birmingham...

so what's he gonna do?

He's gonna head for a parlor

every time. You know that.

Get him a little bit

of rub-a-dub-dub...

and who knows what-all?

Now, ain't I right?

You better believe it, boy.

Of over a hundred fellas...

to think about it.

Mama finally took me into town

Charles Gaines

Charles Latham Gaines, Jr. (born January 6, 1942) is an American writer and outdoorsman, notable for numerous works in both the fiction and non-fiction genres. His writing most typically concerns the outdoors sports of fishing in general and fly fishing in particular, as well as upland bird hunting and mountaineering, often with an intellectual and philosophical bent, and an eye towards the various cultures and traditions surrounding different forms of fishing around the world. In addition to his outdoors writings, Gaines covered the "Golden Age" of professional bodybuilding and is the author of Pumping Iron, considered the definitive journalistic work in that field, and credited in large part for bringing greater public awareness to what was formerly a little-known subculture, as well as helping to launch the career of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Gaines also narrated and contributed to the documentary film of the same name. Gaines is active in the conservation movement and in particular the stewardship of the North American Atlantic Salmon fisheries. He has served on the board of directors of the Atlantic Salmon Federation. more…
