1. Merry Christmas, gentlemen.
Copy !req
2. So, Hank, what's with the black suit?
Copy !req
3. Someone die?
Copy !req
4. Oh, right, someone did die.
Copy !req
5. Your, uh, mom's best friend as I recall.
Copy !req
6. Well, this is awkward.
Copy !req
7. Merry Christmas?
Copy !req
8. That was Lottie Bonner's lawyer.
Copy !req
9. Lottie left me all
her lovely antique furniture.
Copy !req
10. I'm so touched.
Copy !req
11. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Copy !req
12. Uh, so your best bet is,
you know, neither.
Copy !req
13. Oh, of course, I'll never be able
to get it all back to Arizona.
Copy !req
14. Well, heck, Mom, I can move
that stuff out to Arizona for you easy.
Copy !req
15. Oh, but…
Copy !req
16. I will be at your door by Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
17. Heck, all I have to do
is rent a moving van.
Copy !req
18. Oh, Hank, are you sure
a van is big enough?
Copy !req
19. That is a big van.
Copy !req
20. Holy crap!
Copy !req
21. Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
Copy !req
22. - Look at the size of that ol' rig, man!
- Oh, my goodness!
Copy !req
23. I'm gonna name her Wonder Truck.
Copy !req
24. Ask him. Ask him.
Copy !req
25. Hank, we want to ask you one question.
Copy !req
26. You can't come with me on the trip.
Copy !req
27. I have a follow-up question.
Copy !req
28. Oh, please!
Please let us come on Wonder Truck!
Copy !req
29. The next one who asks to come
won't even get to look at it.
Copy !req
30. Okay, then.
Copy !req
31. Huh.
Copy !req
32. I know it's more cargo space than I need,
Copy !req
33. but, uh, well, there's a sleeper cab,
Copy !req
34. so I'll save on motels,
Copy !req
35. and, you know, uh…
Copy !req
36. Hank, you don't have to explain to us.
Copy !req
37. Wow…
Copy !req
38. Look at all this cool stuff!
Copy !req
39. This isn't a toy, Bobby.
Copy !req
40. To a trucker, these are tools.
Copy !req
41. See, truckers are the last cowboys.
Copy !req
42. They're their own bosses
making tough decisions,
Copy !req
43. winning or losing by the calls they make,
Copy !req
44. answering only to the road.
Copy !req
45. Sounds hard.
Copy !req
46. It is.
Copy !req
47. Now, how would you like
to make this trip with your old man?
Copy !req
48. Heck, yeah!
Copy !req
49. Dad, can I have permission
to say, "Hell, yeah"?
Copy !req
50. Just a moment.
Copy !req
51. Hell, yeah!
Copy !req
52. It's such a fine night
Copy !req
53. to, uh, look at the, uh, moon.
Copy !req
54. Look how big and powerful
the moon looks in the moonlight.
Copy !req
55. Ready for its trip to Arizona.
Copy !req
56. It's just not fair!
Copy !req
57. The moon, I mean.
Copy !req
58. Oh…
Copy !req
59. This is a dream come true.
Copy !req
60. A trucker and his boy alone with their rig
on the open road.
Copy !req
61. But don't worry, Peggy.
Copy !req
62. We'll do a quick turnaround
and be back home
Copy !req
63. by Christmas morning sharp.
Copy !req
64. A trucker and his boy.
Copy !req
65. And they've promised their mom
to be home by Christmas.
Copy !req
66. Hank, this is one
of those novelty Christmas songs
Copy !req
67. that always sells
a million freaking copies!
Copy !req
68. I have always wanted
to get in on that racket!
Copy !req
69. Okay, let's roll.
Copy !req
70. Well, all right.
Copy !req
71. Okay, Bobby, we got to stay on time,
Copy !req
72. so drink up and let's hit the road.
Copy !req
73. Coffee?
Copy !req
74. For me?
Copy !req
75. Mmm…
Copy !req
76. I don't think I can ever go back to cocoa!
Copy !req
77. See, trucking
is like a lot of things in life.
Copy !req
78. Know your rig inside out.
Copy !req
79. Take care of your rig
and she'll take care of you.
Copy !req
80. Dad, you know everything.
Copy !req
81. Well, I do have a Class "C" license.
Copy !req
82. We're so bad.
Copy !req
83. Ooh-ee, man, look at that!
Copy !req
84. Man, it's like, uh…
like goddang ol' Ben-Hur, man.
Copy !req
85. Holy cow…
Copy !req
86. Boy, look at that view.
Copy !req
87. This is probably how it looked
to the very first truckers.
Copy !req
88. Now, the trick to heading up a steep grade
Copy !req
89. is to shift gears carefully.
Copy !req
90. And why is that?
Copy !req
91. "A trucker always protects his cargo."
Copy !req
92. My dearest Nancy,
Copy !req
93. I have many questions
about the outside world.
Copy !req
94. Is our government still intact?
Copy !req
95. And what of young Joseph?
Copy !req
96. Gentlemen, to your racers.
Copy !req
97. Yay!
Copy !req
98. Ah…
Copy !req
99. - Cheaters!
- Yay!
Copy !req
100. He was… Oh, no!
Copy !req
101. D Hank and Bobby in a Christmas truck… d.
Copy !req
102. Oh, dangit!
Copy !req
103. There's just no good words
that rhyme with truck.
Copy !req
104. Aunt Peggy, could they be delivering
a, a snowman?
Copy !req
105. I bet there's lots of words
that rhyme with snowman.
Copy !req
106. Of course.
Copy !req
107. Who needs a snowman
more than a widow in Arizona?
Copy !req
108. Our song will be about Hank and Bobby
Copy !req
109. delivering a snowman
to a woman with no man.
Copy !req
110. I'm a songwriter!
Copy !req
111. The second-largest thermometer
in the US.
Copy !req
112. Do we have time to stop?
Copy !req
113. Well, we have to be home by Christmas,
Copy !req
114. so we can stop or we can go to a truckstop
Copy !req
115. and chow down like real truckers.
Copy !req
116. Chow down like real truckers!
Copy !req
117. Well, all right, then.
Copy !req
118. Eh, you can see the thermometer
from here anyway.
Copy !req
119. "One hundred and five degrees."
Copy !req
120. Wow.
Copy !req
121. Hank, for god's sakes, let us out!
Copy !req
122. It's so hot!
Copy !req
123. No, Hank hears us,
but he's choosing to punish us.
Copy !req
124. Rightly so.
Copy !req
125. What's the use?
Copy !req
126. At the rate I'm smoking,
Copy !req
127. we only have about 30 minutes
of oxygen left anyway.
Copy !req
128. Oh, man! Dang ol'… Dang… Dang ol'…
Copy !req
129. Dang, man!
Copy !req
130. I need a dang ol' water, man.
Copy !req
131. We brought food.
Copy !req
132. Maybe we can squeeze moisture out of it.
Copy !req
133. Let's see.
Copy !req
134. Chips, barbecue chips,
Copy !req
135. vinegar flavor, hot and spicy.
Copy !req
136. Saltines!
Copy !req
137. No!
Copy !req
138. Wow!
Copy !req
139. I didn't wanna describe it to you,
Copy !req
140. because, well, how could I?
Copy !req
141. See, for truckers, time is money.
Copy !req
142. We can't spend time waiting in a line
with the civilians.
Copy !req
143. We keep to a schedule.
Copy !req
144. Yup, I just rode in from Arlen, Texas,
on a straight shot.
Copy !req
145. How about you?
Copy !req
146. Well, I guess I'm coming in
straight from, oh, Eastern Long Island.
Copy !req
147. Guess this'd be my first meal
in 40 hours or so.
Copy !req
148. Yep, I hear that.
Copy !req
149. Okay.
Copy !req
150. So what're you boys hauling, anyway?
Copy !req
151. A sofa for my grandma!
Copy !req
152. Sir, this section is for truckers only.
Copy !req
153. Buffs like you, takin' up space,
costs real truckers money.
Copy !req
154. Go on.
Copy !req
155. - Huh?
- But, Dad,
Copy !req
156. I thought you said we were truckers.
Copy !req
157. We are.
Copy !req
158. I don't mean to spoil your fun, sir,
Copy !req
159. but you're not a trucker.
Copy !req
160. You're just a guy with a truck.
Copy !req
161. You think I'm not a trucker?
Copy !req
162. Well, I drove through El Paso in rush hour
Copy !req
163. and didn't grind a gear.
Copy !req
164. Look at my rig.
Copy !req
165. Perfectly maintained from the back bumper
to the grill.
Copy !req
166. Hank!
Copy !req
167. Oh, hey, Hank.
Copy !req
168. We're not gonna drink Bill
after all, okay?
Copy !req
169. Waiter, table for five.
Copy !req
170. Look out, hot load!
Copy !req
171. We're sorry, Hank.
Copy !req
172. We'll sit quietly back here
Copy !req
173. if you give us a water dish to drink from.
Copy !req
174. We'll be as quiet as truck-mice.
Copy !req
175. Get in the cab.
Copy !req
176. Fixing this hole you made
has put me off schedule.
Copy !req
177. So, I'll skip my bunk time
and drive all night.
Copy !req
178. Now get moving.
Copy !req
179. This is the saga our song will tell.
Copy !req
180. Hank and Bobby find a snowman
Copy !req
181. hitch-hiking through Arizona.
Copy !req
182. He will melt to death
Copy !req
183. unless he gets home
to the North Pole by Christmas.
Copy !req
184. Hank and Bobby take him home.
Copy !req
185. The snowman's family is so grateful,
Copy !req
186. they invite him
to their Christmas Snowman dinner.
Copy !req
187. You got it?
Copy !req
188. Oh, no.
Copy !req
189. It's okay to take a nap, Dad.
Copy !req
190. If we're half a day late,
Grandma won't mind.
Copy !req
191. Well, I will.
Copy !req
192. We've got a promise
to your mother to keep.
Copy !req
193. We are getting back home
by Christmas morning.
Copy !req
194. Duck…
Copy !req
195. Duck…
Copy !req
196. - Goose!
- What?
Copy !req
197. - I'll get him, Hank.
- I'll get him.
Copy !req
198. - Dangit!
- Shush it!
Copy !req
199. You don't like it.
Copy !req
200. Oh, it's not that, shugs.
Copy !req
201. It's just that I've got a lot
of other things on my mind.
Copy !req
202. Like, I don't know where my husband is.
Copy !req
203. Oh, I'm sure Dale is fine.
Copy !req
204. Now, how can we fix the song?
Copy !req
205. We tried your way, Aunt Peggy.
Copy !req
206. Now we should do it my way!
Copy !req
207. We have differences.
Copy !req
208. Like when Simon versus the Garfunkel.
Copy !req
209. Look how straight the lines
on the highway are.
Copy !req
210. It'd be easy
to get highway hypnosis.
Copy !req
211. Bill… you are getting sleepy…
Copy !req
212. It's working.
Copy !req
213. I'm so sleepy.
Copy !req
214. Make… make him think
like a dang ol' chicken, man.
Copy !req
215. - Hey, Dad!
- Huh?
Copy !req
216. Look!
Copy !req
217. I… I was awake! What?
Copy !req
218. Look at the sign!
Copy !req
219. "Truckstop, four miles."
Copy !req
220. We can get you some coffee.
Copy !req
221. Bobby, it would take too long
to tie 'em up
Copy !req
222. so I'm gonna need you to get the coffee.
Copy !req
223. Which line? Trucker or…
Copy !req
224. Trucker.
Copy !req
225. Dad, they wouldn't let me
on the trucker line
Copy !req
226. for moral reasons, but…
Copy !req
227. Guess playing trucker
takes a lot out of you.
Copy !req
228. Least now he can tell
all the other accountants
Copy !req
229. he slept at a real truckstop.
Copy !req
230. Okay.
Copy !req
231. Let's get a move out.
Copy !req
232. Now, if we make up for the lost time
while my Dad's asleep,
Copy !req
233. he'll wake up ahead of schedule.
Copy !req
234. Mr. Boomhauer, are you sure
you're able to handle this vehicle?
Copy !req
235. Hey, man. Dang ol' piece of cake, man.
Copy !req
236. Just like riding
a dang ol' riding mower or forklift.
Copy !req
237. You know, just like a dang ol' lion's
the same as kitty cat, man.
Copy !req
238. Fourteen-foot clearance.
Copy !req
239. Ha!
Copy !req
240. How tall is the truck?
Copy !req
241. Probably enough…
Copy !req
242. I don't know. Bobby?
Copy !req
243. I don't know.
Copy !req
244. It's awfully big.
Copy !req
245. I'd say 30 feet tall, at least.
Copy !req
246. Boomhauer, get off now!
Copy !req
247. - There's an exit!
- Get off now!
Copy !req
248. This is the wrong way!
Copy !req
249. Turn around!
Copy !req
250. Hey, man. Do you see the dang ol' size
of this thing, man?
Copy !req
251. Dang ol' don't talk
about "turn around" man!
Copy !req
252. You can't do…
Copy !req
253. Ooh, there's another exit. Take it!
Copy !req
254. Well, this feels good, doesn't it?
Copy !req
255. Well, Mom, that's the last of it.
Copy !req
256. Hank, this is the best Christmas ever.
Copy !req
257. Ready?
Copy !req
258. What the… Where…
Copy !req
259. Hank, we're having trouble
with the engine.
Copy !req
260. And the clutch.
Copy !req
261. Oh, and we're on top of a mountain.
Copy !req
262. I think it might be a Rocky Mountain.
Copy !req
263. What the hell happened?
Copy !req
264. Let's just say mistakes were made.
Copy !req
265. Then other larger mistakes.
Copy !req
266. We're not proud of ourselves.
Copy !req
267. I'm sorry, Dad.
Copy !req
268. We thought if we kept driving,
Copy !req
269. we could help you make
your delivery on time.
Copy !req
270. We didn't even stop for a potty break.
Copy !req
271. I had to use your coffee mug.
Copy !req
272. Dale, get behind the line of shame.
Copy !req
273. Not you, Bobby.
Copy !req
274. I know you were trying to help.
Copy !req
275. Hank, we're cold.
Copy !req
276. Can we put our hands down?
Copy !req
277. No. Okay, we're out of fuel.
Copy !req
278. That part I can understand.
Copy !req
279. But how did you let the battery go dead?
Copy !req
280. It was dark and the headlights
made us feel so safe.
Copy !req
281. Breaker 10-33, this is Top Hat.
Copy !req
282. Requesting emergency…
Copy !req
283. No, Bobby.
Copy !req
284. I don't wanna bother real truckers
Copy !req
285. with the problems of a guy who fell asleep
Copy !req
286. and let his rig wind up
on top of a mountain.
Copy !req
287. What are you doing, Dad?
Copy !req
288. I'm gonna call Triple "A"
Copy !req
289. and probably hire some movers, too.
Copy !req
290. It's time to let
the professionals handle this.
Copy !req
291. No! Sure we're in a hole,
Copy !req
292. but real truckers
are in a hole all the time
Copy !req
293. and they don't give up.
Copy !req
294. They figure out a way to get through.
Copy !req
295. You're not just a guy with a truck, Dad.
Copy !req
296. Okay, everybody, let's check out our rig
and see what we've got.
Copy !req
297. Yeah! Yeah!
Copy !req
298. - All right… Oh!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
299. Yeah…
Copy !req
300. Uh, line suspended.
Copy !req
301. - Yay!
- Yiee!
Copy !req
302. And a Charlie Chaplin ceramic lamp
Copy !req
303. and these opera glasses.
Copy !req
304. That's what we have to work with.
Copy !req
305. Hank, which would you rather
burn for warmth,
Copy !req
306. the dining set
Copy !req
307. or the frames of these
tasteful landscape paintings?
Copy !req
308. Neither. I am getting
this load to my mom intact.
Copy !req
309. Hey, man, got them
dang ol' antique lamps, man.
Copy !req
310. Talk about a little kerosene
left inside, man, you know?
Copy !req
311. Probably stay warm dang ol'
five minutes or so, you know?
Copy !req
312. Talking about dang ol'…
Copy !req
313. Good idea, Boomhauer.
Copy !req
314. There might be some kerosene
still left in those lamps
Copy !req
315. to keep us warm if…
Copy !req
316. No, wait a minute.
Copy !req
317. Bobby, hand me those opera glasses.
Copy !req
318. Perfect.
Copy !req
319. Now, if we can get the truck
rolling downhill,
Copy !req
320. the motion will recharge the battery.
Copy !req
321. And kerosene is close enough
to diesel fuel
Copy !req
322. so we can burn it.
Copy !req
323. I'll pop the clutch,
Copy !req
324. and we can turn around in that meadow.
Copy !req
325. I understood something about burning fuel.
Copy !req
326. Are we going to be warm?
Copy !req
327. You two are gonna get warm
working up a sweat
Copy !req
328. digging out these tires. Here.
Copy !req
329. Bobby, I need your help over here.
Copy !req
330. And, Dale, you're, uh, at large.
Copy !req
331. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
332. Stroke!
Copy !req
333. Stroke! Come on!
Copy !req
334. Hey… Aah!
Copy !req
335. Now, I won't be able to see
from the back to steer,
Copy !req
336. so you fellows will have to guide me.
Copy !req
337. Boomhauer, use the CB.
Copy !req
338. It's gonna be a bumpy ride, so hang on.
Copy !req
339. Hank, what keeps the furniture
from sliding out the door?
Copy !req
340. Well, all our straps and chains
are on the road for traction.
Copy !req
341. So, you do, Bill.
Copy !req
342. Good luck.
Copy !req
343. Okay, man, Hank, you got, like,
Copy !req
344. dang ol' little ol' curve
coming up on the left.
Copy !req
345. Talking about 15 or 20 degrees.
Copy !req
346. Now swing it a little to the right now.
Copy !req
347. Okay, now ease on to
Copy !req
348. about three o'clock, man. A little bump.
Copy !req
349. - Oh!
- You feel that, man? Okay, now, now…
Copy !req
350. Come on straight.
Hold steady, man. Hold steady, man.
Copy !req
351. Talking about a right. Now cut right.
Copy !req
352. Dang ol' good job, man.
Copy !req
353. Talk about just a little ol' straightaway
about 20, 30 yards now.
Copy !req
354. Get a little meadow coming up
on the dang ol' left, man.
Copy !req
355. Get ready, get ready now.
Copy !req
356. Okay, now, cut, man. Cut, cut.
Copy !req
357. Give it all you got, man!
Copy !req
358. Okay, now, Hank,
hang in there, man. Quick left.
Copy !req
359. Quick left! Left, left, man!
Copy !req
360. It's working!
Copy !req
361. It's working! It's…
Copy !req
362. We only get one shot, son.
Copy !req
363. Pull!
Copy !req
364. - Yes!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
365. The end.
Copy !req
366. That's my Christmas trucking song.
Copy !req
367. Do you like it?
Copy !req
368. Shug, it's great,
Copy !req
369. but right now, I'm busy
Copy !req
370. filing a Missing Persons report, okay?
Copy !req
371. Can you see now, Hank? Ow!
Copy !req
372. - Can you? Ow!
- Ow!
Copy !req
373. - How about now! Ow!
- Ow!
Copy !req
374. Ow! Ow!
Copy !req
375. Ow!
Copy !req
376. There I am, 1,500 pounds
over my weight limit,
Copy !req
377. so I say to the trooper.
Copy !req
378. Weigh me now.
Copy !req
379. Kitchen stopped making breakfast
half an hour ago.
Copy !req
380. So, what can I bring you, boys?
Copy !req
381. Oh, man, dang ol' black coffee, man,
and a little water, too.
Copy !req
382. And where's the dang ol' restroom at?
Copy !req
383. Whoa. Slow it down, sweetheart.
Copy !req
384. Okay, man, dang ol' black coffee…
Copy !req
385. Man, dang ol' water.
Copy !req
386. Whoa, I know that voice.
Copy !req
387. Hey, one of you boys named Hank?
Copy !req
388. Uh, we're just gonna have our coffee
and go.
Copy !req
389. We don't need any trouble.
Copy !req
390. I bet you don't.
Copy !req
391. You had enough trouble
Copy !req
392. getting down that mountain this morning.
Copy !req
393. Man, we been listening on CB to you guys
Copy !req
