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. Ripped By mstoll
Copy !req
9. That was Lottie
Bonner's lawyer.
Copy !req
10. Lottie left me all her
lovely antique furniture.
Copy !req
11. I'm so touched.
Copy !req
12. I don't know whether
to laugh or cry.
Copy !req
13. Uh, so your best bet
is, you know, neither.
Copy !req
14. Oh, of course,
I'll never be able
Copy !req
15. to get it back
to Arizona.
Copy !req
16. Well, heck, Mom,
Copy !req
17. I can move that stuff
out to Arizona for you easy.
Copy !req
18. Oh, but...
Copy !req
19. I will be at your door
by Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
20. Heck, all I have to do
is rent a moving van.
Copy !req
21. Oh, Hank, are you sure
a van is big enough?
Copy !req
22. That is a big van.
Copy !req
23. I'm going to name her
Wondertruck.
Copy !req
24. Hank, we want to ask
you one question.
Copy !req
25. You can't come with me
on the trip.
Copy !req
26. I have a follow-up
question.
Copy !req
27. Please let us
come on Wondertruck!
Copy !req
28. The next one who asks to come
won't even get to look at it.
Copy !req
29. Okay, then.
Copy !req
30. I know it's more cargo
space than I need,
Copy !req
31. but, uh, well,
there's a sleeper cab
Copy !req
32. so I'll save on motels
Copy !req
33. and, you know, uh...
Copy !req
34. Hank, you don't have
to explain to us.
Copy !req
35. Wow...
Copy !req
36. Look at all this
cool stuff!
Copy !req
37. This isn't a toy, Bobby.
Copy !req
38. To a trucker, these are tools.
Copy !req
39. See, truckers
are the last cowboys.
Copy !req
40. They're their own bosses
making tough decisions,
Copy !req
41. winning or losing
by the calls they make,
Copy !req
42. answering only to the road.
Copy !req
43. Sounds hard.
Copy !req
44. It is.
Copy !req
45. Now, how would you like
Copy !req
46. to make this trip
with your old man?
Copy !req
47. Heck, yeah!
Copy !req
48. Dad, can I have permission
to say "Hell, yeah"?
Copy !req
49. Just a moment.
Copy !req
50. It's such a fine night
Copy !req
51. to, uh, look
at the, uh, moon.
Copy !req
52. Look how big and powerful
the moon looks
Copy !req
53. in the moonlight.
Copy !req
54. Ready for its trip
to Arizona.
Copy !req
55. It's just not fair!
Copy !req
56. The moon, I mean.
Copy !req
57. Oh...
Copy !req
58. This is a dream come true.
Copy !req
59. A trucker and his boy
alone with their rig
Copy !req
60. 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? For me?
Copy !req
74. Mmm...
Copy !req
75. I don't think I can ever
go back to cocoa!
Copy !req
76. See, trucking is like
a lot of things in life.
Copy !req
77. Know your rig inside out.
Copy !req
78. Take care of your rig
and she'll take care of you.
Copy !req
79. Dad, you know everything.
Copy !req
80. Well, I do have
a Class "C" license.
Copy !req
81. We're so bad.
Copy !req
82. Ooh-ee, man!
Look at that, man!
Copy !req
83. Just like a God dang ol'
Ben Hur, man.
Copy !req
84. Boy, look at that view.
Copy !req
85. This is probably how it looked
to the very first truckers.
Copy !req
86. Now, the trick
to heading up a steep grade
Copy !req
87. is to shift gears
carefully.
Copy !req
88. And why is that?
Copy !req
89. "A trucker always
protects his cargo."
Copy !req
90. My dearest Nancy,
Copy !req
91. I have many questions
about the outside world.
Copy !req
92. Is our government still intact?
Copy !req
93. And what of young Joseph?
Copy !req
94. Gentlemen, to your racers.
Copy !req
95. Whoo-hoo!
Yay!
Copy !req
96. He wins!
Copy !req
97. Oh, no!
Copy !req
98. Oh, dang it!
Copy !req
99. There's just no good words
that rhyme with truck.
Copy !req
100. Aunt Peggy, could
they be delivering a-a snowman?
Copy !req
101. I bet there's lots of words
that rhyme with snowman.
Copy !req
102. Of course.
Copy !req
103. Who needs a snowman
more than a widow in Arizona?
Copy !req
104. Our song will be about
Hank and Bobby
Copy !req
105. delivering a snowman
to a woman with no man.
Copy !req
106. I'm a songwriter!
Copy !req
107. The second-largest
thermometer in the U. S.
Copy !req
108. Do we have time
to stop?
Copy !req
109. Well, we have to be home
by Christmas,
Copy !req
110. so we can stop
or we can go to a truckstop
Copy !req
111. and chow down like
real truckers.
Copy !req
112. Chow down
like real truckers!
Copy !req
113. Well, all right, then.
Copy !req
114. Eh, you can see the thermometer
from here anyway.
Copy !req
115. "105 degrees." Wow.
Copy !req
116. Hank, for God's sakes,
let us out!
Copy !req
117. It's so hot!
Copy !req
118. No, Hank hears us,
but he's choosing to punish us.
Copy !req
119. Rightly so.
Copy !req
120. What's the use?
Copy !req
121. At the rate I'm smoking,
Copy !req
122. we only have about 30 minutes
of oxygen left anyway.
Copy !req
123. Oh, man, dang ol'...
Dang, dang, dang, man!
Copy !req
124. I need a dang ol' water, man.
Copy !req
125. We brought food.
Copy !req
126. Maybe we can
squeeze moisture
out of it.
Copy !req
127. Let's see.
Copy !req
128. Chips, barbecue chips,
Copy !req
129. vinegar flavor,
hot and spicy.
Copy !req
130. Saltines! No!
Copy !req
131. Wow!
Copy !req
132. I didn't want
to describe it to you,
Copy !req
133. because, well,
how could I?
Copy !req
134. See, for truckers,
time is money.
Copy !req
135. We can't spend time waiting
in a line with the civilians.
Copy !req
136. We keep to a schedule.
Copy !req
137. Yup, I just rode in from Arlen, Texas,
on a straight shot.
Copy !req
138. How about you?
Copy !req
139. Well, I guess I'm coming in
Copy !req
140. straight from,
oh, Eastern Long Island.
Copy !req
141. Guess this 'd be my first meal
in 40 hours or so.
Copy !req
142. Yep, I hear that.
Copy !req
143. Okay.
Copy !req
144. So what're you boys
hauling, anyway?
Copy !req
145. A sofa for my Grandma!
Copy !req
146. Sir, this section
is for truckers only.
Copy !req
147. Buffs like you, takin' up space,
costs real truckers money.
Copy !req
148. Go on.
Copy !req
149. But, Dad, I thought you
said we were truckers.
Copy !req
150. We are.
Copy !req
151. I don't mean to spoil
your fun, sir,
Copy !req
152. but you're not a trucker.
Copy !req
153. You're just a guy
with a truck.
Copy !req
154. You think I'm not a trucker?
Copy !req
155. Well, I drove through El Paso
in rush hour
Copy !req
156. and didn't grind a gear.
Copy !req
157. Look at my rig...
Copy !req
158. perfectly maintained
from the back bumper to the grille.
Copy !req
159. Oh, hey, Hank.
Copy !req
160. We're not gonna drink Bill
after all, okay?
Copy !req
161. Waiter, table for five.
Copy !req
162. Nice rig, buddy!
Copy !req
163. Look out, hot load!
Copy !req
164. Hey, hauling
fruit, are you?
Copy !req
165. We're sorry, Hank.
Copy !req
166. We'll sit quietly back here,
Copy !req
167. if you give us
a water-dish to drink from.
Copy !req
168. We'll be as quiet as truck-mice.
Copy !req
169. Get in the cab.
Copy !req
170. Fixing this hole you made
has put me off schedule.
Copy !req
171. So, I'll skip my bunk time
and drive all night.
Copy !req
172. Now get moving.
Copy !req
173. This is the saga
our song will tell:
Copy !req
174. Hank and Bobby find a snowman
Copy !req
175. hitch-hiking through Arizona.
Copy !req
176. He will melt to death
Copy !req
177. unless he gets home
to the North Pole by Christmas.
Copy !req
178. Hank and Bobby take him home.
Copy !req
179. The snowman's family
is so grateful,
Copy !req
180. they invite him to their
Christmas Snowman dinner.
Copy !req
181. You got it?
Copy !req
182. Oh, no.
Copy !req
183. It's okay to take a nap, Dad.
Copy !req
184. If we're half a day late,
Grandma won't mind.
Copy !req
185. Well, I will.
Copy !req
186. We've got a promise
to your mother to keep.
Copy !req
187. We are getting back home
by Christmas morning.
Copy !req
188. Duck...
Copy !req
189. Duck...
Copy !req
190. Goose!
Copy !req
191. What?
Copy !req
192. I'll get him, Hank.
Copy !req
193. Dang it!
Copy !req
194. Shush it!
Copy !req
195. You don't like it.
Copy !req
196. Oh, it's not that, sugs.
Copy !req
197. It's just that I've got a lot
of other things on my mind.
Copy !req
198. Like, I don't know
where my husband is.
Copy !req
199. Oh, I'm sure Dale is fine.
Copy !req
200. Now, how can we fix
the song?
Copy !req
201. We tried your way,
Aunt Peggy.
Copy !req
202. Now we should
do it my way!
Copy !req
203. We have differences.
Copy !req
204. Like when Simon
versus the Garfunkel.
Copy !req
205. Look how straight the lines
on the highway are.
Copy !req
206. It'd be easy
to get highway hypnosis.
Copy !req
207. Bill... you are
getting sleepy...
Copy !req
208. It's working.
Copy !req
209. I'm so sleepy.
Copy !req
210. M-M-Make him think
he's a dang ol' chicken, man.
Copy !req
211. Hey, Dad!
Ahh...
Copy !req
212. Look!
Copy !req
213. L-l-I was awake! What?
Copy !req
214. Look at the sign!
Copy !req
215. "Truck stop 4 Miles."
Copy !req
216. We can get you some coffee.
Copy !req
217. Bobby, it would take
too long to tie 'em up
Copy !req
218. so I'm going to need you
to get the coffee.
Copy !req
219. Which line? Trucker or...
Copy !req
220. Trucker.
Copy !req
221. Dad, they wouldn't let me
on the trucker line
Copy !req
222. for moral reasons, but...
Copy !req
223. Guess playing trucker
takes a lot out of you.
Copy !req
224. Least now he can tell
all the other accountants
Copy !req
225. he slept
at a real truck stop.
Copy !req
226. Okay.
Copy !req
227. Let's get a move out.
Copy !req
228. Now, if make up
for the lost time
Copy !req
229. while my Dad's asleep,
he'll wake up ahead of schedule.
Copy !req
230. Mr. Boomhauer, are you sure
Copy !req
231. you're able
to handle this vehicle?
Copy !req
232. Dang ol' piece of cake, man.
Copy !req
233. Just like riding a dang ol'
riding mower or forklift.
Copy !req
234. You know, just like
a dang ol' lion
Copy !req
235. the same as kit-y-cat, man.
Copy !req
236. 14-foot clearance.
Copy !req
237. Ha! How tall
is the truck?
Copy !req
238. Probably...
Copy !req
239. I don't know. Bobby?
Copy !req
240. I don't know!
Copy !req
241. It's awfully big.
Copy !req
242. I'd say 30 feet tall, at least.
Copy !req
243. Boomhauer,
get off now!
Copy !req
244. There's an exit!
Get off now!
Copy !req
245. This is the wrong way!
Copy !req
246. Turn around!
Copy !req
247. Hey, do you see the dang ol' size
of this thing, man?
Copy !req
248. Dang ol' don't talk
about "turn around" man.
Copy !req
249. Ooh, there's another exit.
Take it!
Copy !req
250. Well, this feels good,
doesn't it?
Copy !req
251. Well, Mom, that's
the last of it.
Copy !req
252. Hank, this is the best
Christmas ever. Ready?
Copy !req
253. What the? Where?
Copy !req
254. Hank, we're having trouble
with the engine.
Copy !req
255. And the clutch.
Copy !req
256. Oh, and we're on top
of a mountain.
Copy !req
257. I think it might be
a Rocky Mountain.
Copy !req
258. What the hell happened?
Copy !req
259. Let's just say
mistakes were made.
Copy !req
260. Then other larger mistakes.
Copy !req
261. We're not proud
of ourselves.
Copy !req
262. I'm sorry, Dad.
Copy !req
263. We thought if we kept driving,
Copy !req
264. we could help you make
your delivery on time.
Copy !req
265. We didn't even stop
for a potty break.
Copy !req
266. I had to use your coffee mug.
Copy !req
267. Dale, get behind
the Line of Shame.
Copy !req
268. Not you, Bobby.
Copy !req
269. I know you were trying to help.
Copy !req
270. Hank, we're cold.
Copy !req
271. Can we put our hands down?
Copy !req
272. No. Okay, we're out of fuel.
Copy !req
273. That part I can understand.
Copy !req
274. But how did you let
the battery go dead?
Copy !req
275. It was dark and the headlights
made us feel so safe.
Copy !req
276. Breaker 10-33, this is Top Hat.
Copy !req
277. Requesting emergency...
Copy !req
278. No, Bobby.
Copy !req
279. I don't want to bother
real truckers
Copy !req
280. with the problems
of a guy who fell asleep
Copy !req
281. and let his rig wind up
on top of a mountain.
Copy !req
282. What are you doing, Dad?
Copy !req
283. I'm going to call
Triple "A"
Copy !req
284. and probably hire
some movers, too.
Copy !req
285. It's time to let
the professionals handle this.
Copy !req
286. No! Sure we're in a hole,
Copy !req
287. but real truckers
are in a hole all the time
Copy !req
288. and they don't give up.
Copy !req
289. They figure out
a way to get through.
Copy !req
290. You're not just
a guy with a truck, Dad.
Copy !req
291. Okay, everybody, let's check out
our rig and see what we've got.
Copy !req
292. Uh, line suspended.
Copy !req
293. and a Charlie Chaplin ceramic
lamp and these opera glasses.
Copy !req
294. That's what we have
to work with.
Copy !req
295. Hank, which would you rather
burn for warmth,
Copy !req
296. the dining set
Copy !req
297. or the frames of these
tasteful landscape paintings?
Copy !req
298. Neither. I am getting
this load to my mom intact.
Copy !req
299. Hey, man, got them
dang ol' antique lamps, man.
Copy !req
300. Talk about a little kerosene
left inside, man, you know?
Copy !req
301. Probably stay warm dang ol'
five minutes or so.
Copy !req
302. Talking about...
Copy !req
303. Good idea, Boomhauer.
Copy !req
304. There might be
some kerosene
Copy !req
305. still left in those lamps
to keep us warm if...
Copy !req
306. No, wait a minute.
Copy !req
307. Bobby, hand me
those opera glasses.
Copy !req
308. Perfect.
Copy !req
309. Now, if we can get the truck
rolling downhill,
Copy !req
310. the motion will recharge
the battery.
Copy !req
311. And kerosene is close enough
to diesel fuel
Copy !req
312. so we can burn it.
Copy !req
313. I'll pop the clutch,
Copy !req
314. and we can turn around
in that meadow.
Copy !req
315. I understood something
about burning fuel.
Copy !req
316. Are we going
to be warm?
Copy !req
317. You two are going to get warm
working up a sweat
Copy !req
318. digging out
these tires. Here.
Copy !req
319. Bobby, I need your
help over here.
Copy !req
320. And Dale, you're, uh, at large.
Copy !req
321. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
322. Now, I won't be able to see
from the back to steer,
Copy !req
323. so you fellows will have
to guide me.
Copy !req
324. Boomhauer, use the CB.
Copy !req
325. It's going to be a bumpy ride,
so hang on.
Copy !req
326. Hank, what keeps the furniture
from sliding out the door?
Copy !req
327. Well, all our straps and chains
are on the road for traction.
Copy !req
328. So, you do, Bill.
Copy !req
329. Good luck.
Copy !req
330. Okay, man, Hank, you got, like,
dang ol' little ol' curve
Copy !req
331. coming up on the left.
Copy !req
332. Talking about
15 or 20 degrees.
Copy !req
333. Now swing it a little
to the right now.
Copy !req
334. Okay, now ease on
to about 3:00, man.
Copy !req
335. A little bump.
Copy !req
336. You feel that, man?
Copy !req
337. Okay, now, now,
come on straight.
Copy !req
338. Hold steady, man.
Hold steady, man.
Copy !req
339. Talking about right.
Now cut right.
Copy !req
340. Dang ol' good job, man.
Copy !req
341. Talk about just a little
ol' straightaway
Copy !req
342. about 20, 30 yards now.
Copy !req
343. Get a little meadow coming up
on the dang ol' left, man.
Copy !req
344. Get ready, get ready now.
Copy !req
345. Okay, now cut, man.
Copy !req
346. Cut, cut.
Copy !req
347. Give it all you got, man!
Copy !req
348. Okay, now, Hank, hang in there,
man. Quick left, quick left!
Copy !req
349. Left, left, man!
Copy !req
350. It's working!
Copy !req
351. It's working! It's...
Copy !req
352. We only get one shot, son.
Copy !req
353. Pull!
Copy !req
354. Yes! Yeah!
Copy !req
355. The end.
Copy !req
356. That's my Christmas
trucking song.
Copy !req
357. Do you like it?
Copy !req
358. Sug, it's great,
Copy !req
359. but right now I'm busy
Copy !req
360. filing a Missing Persons
report, okay?
Copy !req
361. Can you see now, Hank?
Copy !req
362. Ow!
Copy !req
363. Can you? Ow!
Copy !req
364. How about now! Ow!
Copy !req
365. Ow! Ow!
Copy !req
366. There I am, 1,500 pounds
over my weight limit,
Copy !req
367. so I say to the trooper,
Copy !req
368. Weigh me now.
Copy !req
369. Kitchen stopped making
breakfast half an hour ago.
Copy !req
370. So, what can
I bring you boys?
Copy !req
371. Oh, man, dang ol' black coffee,
man, and a little water, too.
Copy !req
372. Where's the dang ol'
restroom at?
Copy !req
373. Whoa. Slow it down,
sweetheart.
Copy !req
374. Okay, man, dang ol'...
black... coffee.
Copy !req
375. Dang ol' water.
Copy !req
376. Whoa, I know that voice.
Copy !req
377. Hey, one of you boys named Hank?
Copy !req
378. Uh, we're just going
to have our coffee and go.
Copy !req
379. We don't need any trouble.
Copy !req
380. I bet you don't.
Copy !req
381. You had enough trouble
Copy !req
382. getting down that mountain
this morning.
Copy !req
383. Man, we been listening
on CB to you guys
Copy !req
384. coming downhill on 41.
Copy !req
385. Glad y'all ain't dead.
Copy !req
386. Whatthe hell you boys
sitting over there for?
Copy !req
387. Come on over here.
Copy !req
