We're going to get ourselves a

place up in the city."

And I'd say, "Can I come too?"

And he'd say, "Sure you can."

You remember my daddy?

He used to get real mad

whenever Harold would talk about you.

I know.

Mama was happy Harold had a friend.

She had such a calming voice.

It worked all the time.

Well, most of the time.

What's the city like?

Well, there's a lot of big huge buildings.

Wow, how big?

If you were to stack two hundred of

me one on top of the other,

that would be about

the size of one of them buildings.

Roy? You ain't got no hair!

- Hey Earl.

- Yeah?

Where was the last place you lived

before the the last place you lived

before you moved down here?

Dalton. Yeah, it's awesome man!

Patrick Swayze's name in Roadhouse

and the carpet manufacturing capitol of the world.

Oh no way, really?

Well I think it is...

You know, I think so...

Maybe it's not, but it

sure seems like it to me man.

They got carpets everywhere.

Why? Why did you ask?

Oh, I don't know.

Just human curiosity.

I hear that some people

find that attractive.

Well I don't care.

What did they say about my mama?

Hospital said she was transferred.

They wouldn't give any information over the phone.

Why not?

I don't know, bureaucracy.

Oh no, mama's got bureaucracy!

Poor mama.

She going to be okay?

She'll be fine.

Here.

I'm sorry baby, I've got to pee.

Can you pull over.

You think Earl's got to pee?

- I don't know.

- Well he ain't invited.

I'm going to have to warn you baby,

the little girl's room is broken.

So you're going to have

to come in the men's with me.

Okay.

I ain't had sex before.

I think about it a lot.

I think about it with Kathleen.

She's so nice.

She smells like roses and pancakes.

I remember the first time

I heard her and Harold doing it.

That was noisy.

I jumped on top of Harold

and I started hitting him

cause I thought he was hurting Kathleen.

She was screaming and moaning.

I'm there! I'm there!

Sounded like murder to me.

Didn't I feel like a right fool

when he told me they was making love...

But I had missed the beginning

because I was asleep.

I don't miss the beginning no more

I love you too. Harold, I love you.

Ms. Lucille's got big b*obs!

Sorry.

Oh, no need to be sorry.

She rubbed 'em up against me

when I was getting my hair cut,

and they was big and soft.

They was like balloons filled with Jello.

You ever touch them?

You're asking some mighty personal questions.

Well she kisses you don't she?

Some things are private.

I told you I ain't had sex

and that's private.

Come on, you can tell me something private.

I have to go to the bathroom.

I can see how you might think that's private,

but I was thinking more like...

Does Ms. Lucille have big b*obs!?

Look fellas, I got to stop right down here

and take care of a little

business, you all don't mind do you?

Of course not.

I was thinking.

You and Harold should be

best friends again like before.

Oh, I got to pee now.

Incoming.

Hey Earl!

How you feeling?

I'm all right. I'm sleeping.

I'm good. Where we at man?

- You got to piss?

- No.

- You sure.

- Yeah.

- All right man.

- Where are we at?

- We're leaving.

- We're leaving where?

I don't understand why you

put your old clothes back on?

Easy now. Watch your step.

I like that shirt. That's a bad ass shirt.

See, Jack likes my shirt.

These clothes here, they're itchy.

I like my clothes, they're soft.

- Feel my shirt Jack.

- Yeah, yeah...That's nice.

Sammy, there are certain standards for dressing.

The actual term is "dress code."

Well I'm not wearing a dress.

See, you know, if you're going to

go out in public you should change back

because you look pretty funny.

I like my clothes.

I don't care what people think. It's silly.

- What?

- I'm not changing.

Look, for years Harold's

been mocking you

by dressing you in

these mismatched clothes.

I don't even know why you listen to him.

Harold don't pick out my clothes. I do.

Well he's supposed to be taking care of you.

And he's letting you dress

in these mismatched things...

It's wrong!

I don't know why you keep defending him.

He's never done right by you!

I wear what makes me feel good.

It don't hurt nobody.

Why do you care what I'm wearing?

- Look, you want a girlfriend right?

- Yeah.

No girl will be caught dead

with you looking like that.

Uh huh, I can too get a girl.

Jack told me I ought meet a nice girl right here.

Oh yeah. Jack said you're going to

meet a nice girl right in here!

Well, come on Sammy!

Let's go inside and find you a pretty girl

who will love you for what you wear!

Who will love you for just who you are!

Let's go in here

and find you that kind of girl!

Roy, stop it!

You're hurting me, are you insane!?

You look ridiculous!

This is an embarrassment to be seen with you!

That's why Harold's had you locked

up for all these years!

You're an embarrassment!

Well some people might be embarrassed

to be seen with you because you're black,

but I don't care none!

Why can't you just let me be!

I ain't trying to peel the

black off your skin.

You are still black ain't you?

- Jack? Jack?

- Jack's here. Come on now.

I like my shirt.

What?

Well, you act like it's all my fault!

I shouldn't have been

carrying this damn beer in the first place!

You dropped a whole case of beer on

her tiny little head!

Her head's like that big and the

case is like that big!

You squashed her brains out!

Why did you do that?!

You're a cat killer.

Never... I would never hurt anyone...

...or anything on purpose.

I would never do anything...

You did though. Kathleen I'm sorry.

It's okay cousin.

Hey!

Your hand!

She's your cousin man.

It's just a friendly cousin hug.

Well, I guess we'll just have to call it a day.

I'm sorry.

I know you can't peel your skin off.

I'm real sorry I was mean to you.

I know you was trying to help me.

Yeah, well,

I shouldn't have made

an issue about your clothes.

I'm sorry too.

What happened?

Well, my car, it broke down.

So you didn't have any luck finding Loretta.

No, they moved her.

I'm so sorry about that.

Well look, I'm going to take

the car to the garage

and get Sammy back home

and then I'll see you all later.

All right son.

Hey ladies.

Harold. You all are back early.

Yeah, Kathleen decided to kill a cat.

Where's your boss?

Um, Roy?

Well I think he went up

to the township for a minute.

I'll tell you what, come on!

Come on with me.

I'm going to fix you

the best plate of pinto beans!

No thank you Mama Jack.

I got some short ribs and beef?

No ma'am. I'm full. Thank you.

I just need some smokes.

Well move woman, I ain't got all damn day.

Oh right.

hank you.

Don't forget the marshmellows!

It's my last bag. Half price.

Have fun you all.

Put it on my account.

You need to need to make

a payment on that Harold.

I'm sorry we didn't find your mama.

Just seemed like we were so close.
