Man of sorrows! What a name
For the Son of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim
Hallelujah
What a savior
Bearing shame and scoffing rude
In my place condemned He stood
Sealed my pardon with His blood
Hallelujah
What a savior
Guilty, vile and helpless we
Spotless lamb of God was He
"Full atonement!" can it be?
Hallelujah
What a savior
When He comes, our glorious King
All His ransomed home to bring
Then anew His song we'll sing
Hallelujah
What a savior
Remember that we are all imperfect.
We see but in part. We know but in part.
So let each of us study
to approve ourselves
to God through Jesus Christ.
As under the Redeemer's gentle reign,
the wolf shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall
lie down with the kid.
That's a repossession.
Got less than 1,000 miles on the clock.
Hah!
I wouldn't sh*t you, kid.
Hell, you kids are just
too damn smart this day and time.
- Go on. Try it on for size.
- Hey, thank you.
She's cleaner than a cat's ass.
Go on, kick her up.
How much?
She's practically brand new, boy.
$3,000 and some change.
Well, I'm just looking, you know.
No, I don't know.
I mean, I don't know if you're man enough
to take on a car like this.
Are you?
I don't know. I have a wooden leg.
You're kiddin'?
You wouldn't kid
about a thing like that, would ya?
I'm not kidding.
You're serious?
You never can tell.
Hey, come back here with my car,
you hippy son of a b*tch.
Come back.
What are you doin' stealin' my car?
Come back here you...
PREACHER. A true Christian,
like his divine master,
is of a meek and forgiving temper.
He owes no man anything
but to love one another.
And he overcomes evil with good.
Glory to God in the highest,
and on Earth,
peace and goodwill towards men.
Amen.
Hey, uh...
Whoa-hem!
A**hole.
on.
I thought you were the heat.
Do I look like heat?
You look like one crazy son of a b*tch
for a preacher, I'll tell ya that.
Who's that guy back there in the wheat?
Old friend.
With friends like that,
you don't need enemies.
Which way are we headed?
We?
All right, which way are you headed?
South.
South's all right with me.
You must like my drivin'.
Oh, I love it.
Ever thought of doin' it professionally?
What?
- Driving.
- Why?
You got blue eyes.
All great race champions have blue eyes.
That's a fact.
And all preachers drink like fish.
That's another fact.
What's your name, boy?
Lightfoot.
You Indian?
Nope, just American.
If I knew the way, I'd go back home
But the countryside has changed so much
I'd surely end up lost
Half-remembered
names and faces so far in the past
On the other side of bridges
that were burned once they were crossed
Tell me where, where does a fool go
When there's no one left to listen
To a story without meaning
That nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go
When there's no one left to listen
To a story without meaning
That nobody wants to hear
It's cold up here.
How's your arm?
Feels like lead.
Give me your belt, will ya?
Your belt, c'mon!
Oh, my God!
You ain't no country preacher, preacher.
I can tell ya that. Who are ya?
Where are the license
plates for that thing?
Don't have any. I bagged it short of about
five minutes before I ran into you.
Almost ran into you.
You like to spend money, boy?
Yeah, when I can get it.
Do you care how you get it?
No. If it doesn't cost me too much.
Howdy. How's business?
Business? In this business, you're always
one step away from bankruptcy.
Funny money, credit, speculation.
That ain't it.
Somewhere in this country's
a little ol' lady with $79.25.
The five cents is a Buffalo Nickel.
That ain't it.
She ever cashes in her investment,
whole thing'll collapse.
General Motors, the Pentagon,
the two-party system
and the whole shebang.
Arnold, what is he saying to you?
That's it. We're all running downhill.
Gotta keep running
faster all the time or we'll all fall down.
Arnold, what was he saying to you?
Arnold?
What did he say to you?
Did he insult you?
Excuse me, I don't wish to be forward,
but we'd like to exchange cars with you.
So the faster you get out,
the better it'll be for your ass.
- Arnold... Oh!
- Come on, out.
Arnold! Oh...
I thought we were
only gonna get the plates?
Well, we didn't have a screwdriver.
Hey, look at this, man.
Look, they got
a whole department store back here.
- Yeah.
- Hey, I like that.
Those clothes and your mouth,
you could be a big man.
Yeah, busy night.
I never paid for it in my life.
Sometimes you have to pay for pleasure.
Not me.
I'll never pay for it, I can tell you that.
Well, this is where I get out.
You sure don't know a good thing
when you see it, do you?
Hey, why don't you take this watch, huh?
I want you to have it.
I don't want your watch, man.
I want your friendship.
God damn it, I like you, that's all.
I thought we were gettin' to be friends.
We're good together.
Kid, you're ten years too late.
You sure are one lost dude, aren't you?
- Thanks again.
- Yeah.
Sh*t.
You're as young as you feel.
Hello.
Hey, we gotta stop meetin' like this.
People are going to talk.
Very funny.
No, with a preacher man, especially.
Where there's smoke, there's fire,
you know?
Yeah.
How y'all doin', baby?
Quick, get in! Quick!
Hey, what is this?
Why walk when you can ride?
You son of a b*tch. Stop this car.
Let me outta here right now...
Hey, what's the matter?
Don't you like my face?
You're the best-looking face
I've seen all day. I can tell you that.
And just where
the hell do you think you're taking me?
Anywhere you say, sweetness.
I'm hungry-
Chili, right?
Um...
I didn't get your name.
Oh, I didn't give it to ya.
My name is Lightfoot.
- Lightfoot?
- That's right.
That's a dumb name. I mean, what kind
of a person would name a kid that?
- You know?
- What's your name?
Melody.
Melody?
That's not a dumb name?
Hey, maybe we had the same father.
Brought back some extra goodies.
Are you outta your mind?
This is Gloria and Melody.
- Pleased to meet you.
- Melody, Gloria.
Go right in, ladies.
You're full of all kinds of surprises,
aren't you?
Gloria has a great ass, doesn't she?
It's the best
I've ever seen, really.
Wouldn't you say that, Melody?
Listen, I just got out
of a bed to come here, you know.
And I don't intend
to jump right back into one here.
Oh, I forgot to tell ya. Gloria is yours.
Take it easy, Gloria. You're killin' me.
Where did you get
Marines, Korea.
Oh, yeah? I heard about that war.
ooh!
Mmm...
What are you dam"?
Getting dressed.
Why?
So you can take me home.
What for? You can stay here tonight.
No, no, I have to get home
before it's light out.
Look, if you think
I'm leavin' here at 3:30 in the morning
to take you wherever
the hell home is, you're crazy.
Oh, you'd better take me
or I'll walk out
of here stark-naked and scream "Rape."
Sure you will.
That would be stupid.
Rape!
