14. Or if not smithies per se...Copy !req
15. were you otherwise trained
in the metallurgic arts...Copy !req
16. - Aah!
- Before straitened circumstances...Copy !req
17. forced you into a life
of aimless wanderin'?Copy !req
18. Jesus! Can't I count
on you people?Copy !req
19. Sorry, Everett.Copy !req
20. Well, all right.Copy !req
21. If we take off
through that bayou...Copy !req
22. Wait a minute.Copy !req
23. Who elected you leader
of this outfit?Copy !req
24. Well, Pete, I figured
it should be the one...Copy !req
25. with the capacity
for abstract thought.Copy !req
26. But if that ain't
the consensus view...Copy !req
27. then hell,
let's put it to a vote.Copy !req
28. Suits me!Copy !req
29. I'm votin'
for yours truly.Copy !req
30. Well, I'm votin'
for yours truly, too.Copy !req
31. Okay. I'm with you fellas.Copy !req
32. Mind if we join you,
old-timer?Copy !req
33. Join me, m' son.Copy !req
34. Join me.Copy !req
35. You work for
the railroad, grandpa?Copy !req
36. I work for no man.Copy !req
37. Got a name, do you?Copy !req
38. I have no name.Copy !req
39. Well, that right there
may be the reason...Copy !req
40. you've had difficulty
finding gainful employment.Copy !req
41. You see, in the mart
of competitive commerce...Copy !req
42. You seek
a great fortune...Copy !req
43. you three
who are now in chains.Copy !req
44. You will find a fortune...Copy !req
45. though it will not be
the fortune you seek.Copy !req
46. But first...Copy !req
47. Old Man:
First you must travel...Copy !req
48. a long
and difficult road...Copy !req
49. a road fraught
with peril. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
50. You shall see thangs...Copy !req
51. wonderful to tell.Copy !req
52. You shall see
a... a cow...Copy !req
53. on the roof
of a cotton house. Ha.Copy !req
54. Old Man: And, oh,
so many startlements.Copy !req
55. I cannot tell you how long
this road shall be...Copy !req
56. but fear not the obstacles
in your path...Copy !req
57. for fate has...Copy !req
58. vouchsafed your reward.Copy !req
59. Though the road may wind...Copy !req
60. yea, your hearts
grow weary...Copy !req
61. still shall ye follow them...Copy !req
62. even unto your salvation.Copy !req
63. No, the treasure's
still there, boys, believe me.Copy !req
64. But how'd he know
about the treasure?Copy !req
65. I don't know, Delmar.Copy !req
66. The blind are reputed
to possess sensitivities...Copy !req
67. compensating for
their lack of sight...Copy !req
68. even to the point of
developing paranormal...Copy !req
69. psychic powers.Copy !req
70. Now, clearly,
seeing in the future...Copy !req
71. would fall neatly
into that category.Copy !req
72. It's not
so surprising, then...Copy !req
73. that an organism deprived
of its earthly vision...Copy !req
74. He said we
wouldn't get it.Copy !req
75. He said we wouldn't get
the treasure we seek...Copy !req
76. on account
of our obstacles.Copy !req
77. What the hell
does he know?Copy !req
78. He's an ignorant old man.Copy !req
79. Jesus, Pete. I told you
I buried it myself.Copy !req
80. If your cousin still has
this here horse farm...Copy !req
81. and a forge and some
shoein' impedimenta...Copy !req
82. to restore liberty
of movement...Copy !req
83. Hold it right there!Copy !req
84. You men from the bank?Copy !req
85. You Wash's boy?Copy !req
86. Yes, sir.
Daddy told me...Copy !req
87. I'm to shoot who's
ever from the bank.Copy !req
88. Well, we ain't
from the bank, young feller.Copy !req
89. Yes, sir.
I'm also supposed...Copy !req
90. to shoot folks
servin' papers.Copy !req
91. We ain't got
no papers, neither.Copy !req
92. I nicked the census man.Copy !req
93. Now, there's a good boy.Copy !req
94. Is-Is your daddy about?Copy !req
95. Hello, Pete.Copy !req
96. Who are your friends?Copy !req
97. Pleased to make
your acquaintance...Copy !req

117. I do miss

186. I'm gonna R-U-N-N-O-F-T!Copy !req
187. Come on, boys, come on!
Come on!Copy !req
188. What are you doing here?Copy !req
189. You ought to be
in bed, clump snatcher.Copy !req
190. You ain't the boss of me!Copy !req
191. You candy-butted,
car-thievin' so-and-so's!Copy !req
192. I curse your name!Copy !req
193. Go back home

Here's your pomade.Copy !req
197. Two weeks?Copy !req
198. That don't do me
no good.Copy !req
199. Nearest Ford auto man's
Bristol.Copy !req
200. Hold on, now. I don't
want this pomade.Copy !req
201. I want Dapper Dan.Copy !req
202. I don't carry Dapper Dan.
I carry Fop.Copy !req
203. Well, I don't want Fop,
goddamn it!Copy !req
204. I'm a Dapper Dan man!Copy !req
205. Watch your language,
young fella.Copy !req
206. This is a public market.Copy !req
207. Now, if you want Dapper Dan,
I can order it for you.Copy !req
208. Have it in
a couple of weeks.Copy !req
209. Well, ain't this place
a geographical oddity.Copy !req
210. 2 weeks from everywhere.Copy !req
211. Forget it.Copy !req
212. Just a dozen hair nets.Copy !req
213. Well, didn't look
like a one-horse town...Copy !req
214. but try finding
a decent hair jelly.Copy !req
215. Gopher, Everett?Copy !req
216. And no transmission belt
for 2 weeks neither.Copy !req
217. Huh? They dam that river
on the 21 st.Copy !req
218. Today is the 17th.Copy !req
219. Don't I know it.Copy !req
220. We got but 4 days
to get to that treasure.Copy !req
221. After that, it'll be
at the bottom of a lake.Copy !req
222. We ain't gonna make it walkin'.Copy !req
223. That's right.Copy !req
224. Gopher, Everett?Copy !req
225. But the old tactician
has got a plan.Copy !req
226. For the transportation, that is.Copy !req
227. I don't know how I'm gonna
keep my coiffure in order.Copy !req
228. How's this a plan?
How we gonna get a car?Copy !req
229. Sell that. I figure
you can only have...Copy !req
230. painful association for Wash.Copy !req
231. "To Washington Bartholomew
Hogwallop."Copy !req
232. From his lovin' Cora.Copy !req
233. "Amor Fidel... is."Copy !req
234. It was in his bureau.Copy !req
235. I reckon it'll
fetch us enough cash...Copy !req
236. for a good used
auto voiture...Copy !req
237. and a little leftover
besides.Copy !req
238. Whoo! You got some
light fingers, Everett.Copy !req
239. Gopher?Copy !req
240. You miserable little snake.Copy !req
241. You stole from my kin!Copy !req
242. Who was fixin'
to betray us.Copy !req
243. You didn't know that
at the time.Copy !req
244. So I borrowed it
till I did know.Copy !req
245. That don't make no sense!Copy !req
246. Pete, it's a fool
who looks for logic...Copy !req
247. in the chambers
of the human heart.Copy !req
248. What the hell
is that singing?Copy !req
249. Appears to be some kind
of a... congregation.Copy !req
250. Care for some gopher?Copy !req
251. No, thank you, Delmar.Copy !req
252. A third of a gopher would
only arouse my appetite...Copy !req
253. without beddin' her
back down.Copy !req
254. Oh, you can have
the whole thing.Copy !req
255. Me and Pete
already had one.Copy !req
256. We ran across
a whole gopher village.Copy !req
257. Well, I guess hard times
flush the chumps.Copy !req
258. Everybody's lookin'
for answers.Copy !req
259. Where the hell's
he going?Copy !req
260. The Father, the Son,
and the Holy Ghost.Copy !req
261. Well, I'll be
a son of a bitch.Copy !req
262. Delmar's been saved.Copy !req
263. Well, that's it, boys.
I been redeemed.Copy !req
264. The preacher done
washed away...Copy !req
265. all my sins
and transgressions.Copy !req
266. It's the straight and narrow
from here on out.Copy !req
267. And heaven everlasting's
my reward.Copy !req
268. Delmar, what are
you talkin' about?Copy !req
269. We got bigger fish to fry.Copy !req
270. The preacher said
all my sins is washed away...Copy !req
271. including that Piggly Wiggly
I knocked over in Yazoo.Copy !req
272. I thought you said you was
innocent of those charges.Copy !req
273. Well, I was lyin'.Copy !req
274. And the preacher said...Copy !req
275. that that sin's
been washed away, too.Copy !req
276. Neither God, nor man's
got nothin' on me now.Copy !req
277. Come on in, boys.
The water is fine.Copy !req
278. Come on, boy. There, boy.Copy !req
279. Good doggy.Copy !req
280. All right, boys,
we got the scent.Copy !req
281. The preacher said
it absolved us.Copy !req
282. For him,
not for the law.Copy !req
283. I'm surprised
at you, Pete.Copy !req
284. I gave you credit for
more brains than Delmar.Copy !req
285. But there was witnesses
seen us redeemed.Copy !req
286. That's not the issue, Delmar.Copy !req
287. Even if it did put you
square with the Lord...Copy !req
288. the state of Mississippi's
a little more hard-nosed.Copy !req
289. You should have
joined us, Everett.Copy !req
290. It couldn't have
hurt none.Copy !req
291. Hell, at least
it would have washed away...Copy !req
292. the stink of that pomade.Copy !req
293. Joining you two
ignorant fools...Copy !req
294. in a ridiculous
superstition...Copy !req
295. Thank you, anyway.Copy !req
296. And I like the smell
of my hair treatment.Copy !req
297. The pleasin' odor's
half the point.Copy !req
298. Baptism!Copy !req
299. You two are just dumber
than a bag of hammers.Copy !req
300. Well, I guess you're
just my cross to bear.Copy !req
301. Pull over, Everett.Copy !req
302. Let's give
that colored boy a lift.Copy !req
303. You folks going past
Tishomingo?Copy !req
304. Sure, hop in.Copy !req
305. How you doin', son?
Name's Everett.Copy !req
306. These two soggy
sons of bitches...Copy !req
307. are Pete and Delmar.Copy !req
308. Keep your fingers
away from Pete's mouth.Copy !req
309. He ain't had nothing
to eat for 13 years...Copy !req
310. except prison food, gopher,
and a little greasy horse.Copy !req
311. Thanks for the lift, sir.Copy !req
312. My name's Tommy.
Tommy Johnson.Copy !req
313. How you doin', Tommy?Copy !req
314. Say, I haven't seen a house
out here for miles.Copy !req
315. What are you doin' out
in the middle of nowhere?Copy !req
316. Well, I had to be at that there
crossroads last midnight.Copy !req
317. Sell my soul
to the devil.Copy !req
318. Well,
ain't it a small world?Copy !req
319. Spiritually speakin'.Copy !req
320. Pete and Delmar just
been baptized and saved.Copy !req
321. I guess I'm the only one
that remains unaffiliated.Copy !req
322. This ain't
no laughin' matter, Everett.Copy !req
323. What'd the devil give you
for your soul, Tommy?Copy !req
324. Well, he taught me to play
this here guitar real good.Copy !req
325. Oh, son...Copy !req
326. for that you traded
your everlasting soul?Copy !req
327. Well, I wasn't usin' it.Copy !req
328. I've always wondered,
what's the devil look like?Copy !req
329. Well, of course,
there are all manner...Copy !req
330. of lesser imps
and demons, Pete...Copy !req
331. but the great Satan hisself...Copy !req
332. is red and scaly
with a bifurcated tail...Copy !req
333. and he carries
a hay fork.Copy !req
334. Oh, no. No, sir.Copy !req
335. He's white.
As white as you folks.Copy !req
336. With empty eyes
and a big, hollow voice.Copy !req
337. He loved to travel around
with a mean old hound.Copy !req
338. That's right.Copy !req
339. And he told you
to go to Tishomingo?Copy !req
340. Well, no, sir.
Why, that was my idea.Copy !req
341. I heard there's
a man down there.Copy !req
342. He pays folks money
to sing into his can.Copy !req
343. They say
he pays extra...Copy !req
344. if'n you play real good.Copy !req
345. Tishomingo, huh?Copy !req
346. How much he pay?Copy !req
347. All right, boys,
follow my lead.Copy !req
348. Hello?Copy !req
349. Who's the honcho around here?Copy !req
350. I am. Who are you?Copy !req
351. Well, sir,
I'm Jordan Rivers...Copy !req
352. and these here are
the Soggy Bottom Boys...Copy !req
353. out of Cottonelia,
Mississippi.Copy !req
354. Songs of salvation

356. to sing into a can.Copy !req
357. Well, that all depends.Copy !req
358. You boys do Negro songs?Copy !req

363. No, I'm lookin' for
some old-timey material.Copy !req
364. You see, people can't seem
to get enough of it...Copy !req
365. since we started
broadcasting it...Copy !req
366. on The Pappy
O'Daniel Flour Hour...Copy !req
367. so thank you
for stopping by, but...Copy !req
368. Sir, uh,
the Soggy Bottom Boys...Copy !req
369. have been steeped in
old-timey material.Copy !req
370. Heck, we're silly
with it, ain't we, boys?Copy !req
371. That's right.Copy !req
372. That's right.
We ain't really Negroes.Copy !req
373. All except for
our accompanist.Copy !req
374. Whoo!
Hot damn, son!Copy !req
375. I believe you did sell
your soul to the devil!Copy !req
376. Whoo-ee!Copy !req
377. Boy, that was some mighty fine
a-pickin' and a-singin'.Copy !req
378. I'll tell you what.Copy !req
379. Ahem. You come on
in here, you...Copy !req
380. You sign these papers here.Copy !req
381. I'm gonna give you
$10 apiece.Copy !req
382. Uh, uh, okay, sir,
but Mert and, uh, uh...Copy !req
383. Aloysious'll
just have to sign Xs.Copy !req
384. Only 4 of us can write.Copy !req
385. That'd be fine.Copy !req
386. Ha ha!Copy !req
387. Whoo!Copy !req
388. Hey, mister,
I don't mean...Copy !req
389. to be tellin' tales
out of school...Copy !req
390. but there's a fella in
there who'll pay you $10...Copy !req
391. if you sing
into his can.Copy !req
392. I'm not here to make
a record, you dumb cracker.Copy !req
393. They broadcast me
out on the radio.Copy !req
394. That's Governor Menelaus...Copy !req
395. "Pass the Biscuits"
Pappy O'Daniel.Copy !req
396. And he'd sure appreciate it
if you ate his farina...Copy !req
397. and voted him a second term.Copy !req
398. Finest governor we ever
had in Mississippi.Copy !req
399. In any state.Copy !req
400. Oh, Lord, yes. Every
parish or precinct.Copy !req
401. He was makin'
the bigger point.Copy !req
402. Well, ain't you gonna
press the flesh, Pappy?Copy !req
403. Do a little politicking?Copy !req
404. I'll press your flesh,
you dimwitted sumbitch.Copy !req
405. You don't tell your pappy
how to court the electorate.Copy !req
406. We ain't
one-at-a-timin' here.Copy !req
407. We're mass communicatin'!Copy !req
408. Oh, yes.
That's a powerful new force.Copy !req
409. Mm-hmm!Copy !req
410. Shake a leg, Junior.Copy !req
411. Thank God your mammy died
givin' birth.Copy !req
412. If she'd have seen you,
she'd have died of shame.Copy !req
413. Well, hi there!
How you doin'?Copy !req
414. Let's bed down here
for the night.Copy !req
415. Yeah, it stinks
in that old barn.Copy !req
416. Suits me.Copy !req
417. Pretty soon
it'll be nothin'Copy !req
418. but featherbeds
and silk sheets.Copy !req
419. Million dollars.Copy !req
420. Million-point-two.Copy !req
421. 500,000 each.Copy !req
422. 400, Delmar.Copy !req
423. Pete, what are you gonna do...Copy !req
424. with your share
of the treasure?Copy !req
425. Go out west somewhere.Copy !req
426. Open a fine restaurant.Copy !req
427. I'm gonna be the maitre d'.Copy !req
428. Greet all the swells.Copy !req
429. Go to work every day
in a bow tie...Copy !req
430. tuxedo.Copy !req
431. And all the staff
say "Yes, sir" and...Copy !req
432. "No, sir..."Copy !req
433. and "In a jiffy, Pete."Copy !req
434. And all my meals for free.Copy !req
435. What about you, Delmar?Copy !req
436. What are you gonna do
with your share of that dough?Copy !req
437. I'm gonna visit them
foreclosin' son of a guns...Copy !req
438. down at the Indianola
Savings and Loan.Copy !req
439. Slap that money
on the barrel head...Copy !req
440. and buy back
the family farm.Copy !req
441. You ain't no kind of man
if you ain't got land.Copy !req
442. What about you, Everett?Copy !req
443. What you have in mind...Copy !req
444. when you stole it
in the first place?Copy !req
445. I...Copy !req
446. didn't have no plan.Copy !req
447. Well, that hardly
sound like you.Copy !req
448. All right, boys!
It's the authorities!Copy !req
449. Your situation
is purty nigh hopeless!Copy !req
450. Damn, they found our car.Copy !req
451. We ain't got the time...Copy !req
452. and nary the inclination...Copy !req
453. to chat with you boys
any further.Copy !req
454. Damn, we got
to skedaddle.Copy !req
455. I left my pomade
in the car.Copy !req
456. Maybe I can creep up.Copy !req
457. Don't be a fool, Everett.Copy !req
458. We got to R-U-N-N-O-F-T.Copy !req
459. Where's Tommy?Copy !req
460. Already lit out.Copy !req
461. Scared out
of his wits.Copy !req
462. Let's go!Copy !req
463. Well, hell,
it ain't square one.Copy !req
464. Ain't no one
gonna pick up...Copy !req
465. 3 filthy, unshaved
hitchhikers.Copy !req
466. And one of them
a know-it-all...Copy !req
467. who can't keep
his trap shut.Copy !req
468. Pete, the personal rancor
reflected in that remark...Copy !req
469. I don't intend to dignify
with comment.Copy !req
470. But I would like to address
your general attitude...Copy !req
471. of hopeless negativism.Copy !req
472. Consider the lilies
of the goddamn field.Copy !req
473. Or, hell, take a look
at Delmar here...Copy !req
474. as your paradigm of hope.Copy !req
475. Yeah. Look at me.Copy !req
476. Now, you may call it
an unreasoning optimism.Copy !req
477. You may call it obtuse...Copy !req
478. but the plain and simple fact
is that we got close to...Copy !req
479. 3 days before they...Copy !req
480. Dam that river.Copy !req
481. Is this a road
to ltta Bena?Copy !req
482. Uh...
Itta Bena?Copy !req
483. Itta Bena?Copy !req
484. Isn't that...
Isn't that, uh...Copy !req
485. Stay on this here road.Copy !req
486. Nah, that ain't right.Copy !req
487. I was thinking of, uh...Copy !req
488. Take this road...Copy !req
489. Nah, nah, nah,
that ain't right.Copy !req
490. It seems to me
there's a road...Copy !req
491. cow road that used to
lead all the way...Copy !req
492. Well,
most of the way.Copy !req
493. That ain't right, either.Copy !req
494. Hop on in while you
give it a think.Copy !req
495. Right. Delmar.Copy !req
496. Any of you
boys know your way...Copy !req
497. around a Walther P.P. K?Copy !req
498. Well, see, that's where
we can't help you.Copy !req
499. I don't believe
it's in Mississippi.Copy !req
500. Friend, some of your folding
money has come unstowed.Copy !req
501. Just stuff it down
that sack there, will you?Copy !req
502. You boys aren't bad men,
I take it?Copy !req
503. Well, it's funny
you should ask.Copy !req
504. I was bad till yesterday...Copy !req
505. but me and Pete here
been saved.Copy !req
506. I'm Delmar,
and that there is Everett.Copy !req
507. George Nelson.Copy !req
508. It's a pleasure.Copy !req
509. Grab the tiller,
will you, buddy?Copy !req
510. Hand me that chopper.
Ha ha ha ha!Copy !req
511. Say, what line of work
you in, George?Copy !req
512. Ha ha ha ha!Copy !req
513. Come and get me, coppers!Copy !req
514. You flatfooted, lame-brained,
soft-ass sons of bitches!Copy !req
515. Ah ha ha ha ha!Copy !req
516. No one can catch me!Copy !req
517. I'm George Nelson!Copy !req
518. I'm bigger than any John,
live or limp!Copy !req
519. I'm 101/2 feet tall!Copy !req
520. Cows.Copy !req
521. I hate cows
worse than coppers!Copy !req
522. Oh, George.
Not the livestock.Copy !req
523. Come on, you miserable,
salaried sons of bitches!Copy !req
524. Come and get me!Copy !req
525. Come on, boys,
we're going for the record.Copy !req
526. 3 banks in 2 hours!Copy !req
527. Okay, folks, hold the applause
and drop your drawers.Copy !req
528. I'm George Nelson...Copy !req
529. and I'm here to sack
the city ltta Bena!Copy !req
530. He's a live wire,
though, ain't he?Copy !req
531. All the money
in a bag.Copy !req
532. What are you
lookin' at, grandpa?Copy !req
533. Pardon me, George...Copy !req
534. you got a plan for
gettin' out of here?Copy !req
535. Sure, boys.Copy !req
536. Here's my plan.
Ha ha ha ha!Copy !req
537. They ain't never
seen ordnance like this!Copy !req
538. Thank you, folks.Copy !req
539. And remember, Jesus saves...Copy !req
540. but George Nelson withdraws!
Ha ha ha ha!Copy !req
541. Go fix the auto voiture,
Pete.Copy !req
542. Is that Babyface Nelson?Copy !req
543. Who said that?Copy !req
544. What ignorant,
lowdown, slanderizin'Copy !req
545. son of a bitch said that?Copy !req
546. My name is George Nelson.
Get me?Copy !req
547. She didn't mean nothin'
by it, George.Copy !req
548. George Nelson!Copy !req
549. Not Babyface!Copy !req
550. You remember!Copy !req
551. And you tell your friends!Copy !req
552. I'm George Nelson.Copy !req
553. Born to raise hell.Copy !req
554. Well, that was some fun,
now, wasn't it, George?Copy !req
555. Yeah.Copy !req
556. Almost makes me wished
I hadn't have been saved.Copy !req
557. Jacking up banks.Copy !req
558. I can see how a fella'd
derive a whole lot of pleasure...Copy !req
559. and satisfaction
out of it.Copy !req
560. It's okay.Copy !req
561. Hoo, dawgies!Copy !req
562. Well...Copy !req
563. I'm takin' off.Copy !req
564. You boys might as well...Copy !req
565. keep my...
share of the riches.Copy !req
566. Well, where
are you going, George?Copy !req
567. I don't know.Copy !req
568. Who cares?Copy !req
569. Now, what do you suppose
is eatin' George?Copy !req
570. Well, Delmar...Copy !req
571. they say that with
the thrill-seeking personality...Copy !req
572. What goes up must come down.Copy !req
573. On top of the world one minute,
haunted by meekness the next.Copy !req
574. Yes, sir, it's as if
our old friend, George...Copy !req
575. is a alley cat
and his own damn humors...Copy !req
576. are swingin' him
by the tail.Copy !req
577. I wouldn't worry, Delmar.Copy !req
578. He'll be back
on top again.Copy !req
579. I don't think we've seen
the last of George Nelson.Copy !req
580. Don't be saps for Pappy.Copy !req
581. Homer Stokes for governor.Copy !req
582. Let's sweep
this state clean.Copy !req
583. Vote for Stokes, brother.Copy !req
584. Aw, shh shh. Hang on!Copy !req
585. I'm gonna slap one on here.Copy !req
586. Folks, here's
my cousin Ezra's niece...Copy !req
587. Eudora from out of Greenwood,
doin' a little number...Copy !req
588. with her cousin Tom-Tom...Copy !req
589. which I predict you
gonna enjoy thoroughly.Copy !req
590. Now, what can I do you for,
Mr. French?Copy !req
591. How can I lay ahold of
them Soggy Bottom Boys?Copy !req
592. Soggy Bottom.Copy !req
593. I don't precisely
recollect them.Copy !req
594. They cut a record
in here a few days ago...Copy !req
595. with an old-timey
harmony thing...Copy !req
596. with a guitar
accompany... accompany...Copy !req
597. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I remember them.Copy !req
598. Colored fellas, I believe.Copy !req
599. Yes, sir,
they a fine bunch of boys.Copy !req
600. They sang into yonder can,
then skedaddled.Copy !req
601. Well, that record...Copy !req
602. is just goin' through
the goddamn roof.Copy !req
603. They playin' it
as far away as Mobile.Copy !req
604. No.Copy !req
605. Whole damn state's goin' apey.Copy !req
606. Well, it was a powerful air.Copy !req
607. Hot damn,
we got to find them boys...Copy !req
608. and sign 'em to
a big fat contract.Copy !req
609. Hell's bells, Mr. Lund,
if we don't...Copy !req
610. the goddamn
competition will.Copy !req
611. Oh, mercy, yes, we got
to beat that competition.Copy !req
612. - Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
613. Delmar.
Over here.Copy !req
614. Do you have
the Soggy Bottom Boys...Copy !req
615. performing
"Man of Constant Sorrow"?Copy !req
616. No, ma'am. We got
a new shipment in yesterday.Copy !req
617. Sorry, but we just can't
keep 'em on our shelves.Copy !req
618. How are you?Copy !req
619. Delmar, come on.
Go. Go.Copy !req
620. Shut up, Delmar.Copy !req
621. Uhh! Ohh!Copy !req
622. Pull over! Pull over!Copy !req
623. Guess old Pete's
got the itch.Copy !req
624. Howdy do, ladies?Copy !req
625. Name of Pete.Copy !req
626. Ain't you gonna
introduce us, Pete?Copy !req
627. I don't know
their names.Copy !req
628. I seen 'em first!Copy !req
629. Ladies, my name
is Ulysses Everett McGill...Copy !req
630. and, well, you three
ladies are about the...Copy !req
631. the prettiest...Copy !req
632. water lilies, uh...Copy !req
633. Corn liquor.Copy !req
634. Everett.Copy !req
635. My hair!Copy !req
636. Look at this.Copy !req
637. Pete!Copy !req
638. Where the heck
are you?Copy !req
639. Pete!Copy !req
640. We ain't got time
for hide-and-seek!Copy !req
641. Now, we ain't got time
for your shenanigans!Copy !req
642. Sweet Jesus, Everett.Copy !req
643. They left his heart.Copy !req
644. Aah! Aah!Copy !req
645. What the... Delmar,
what the heck's got into you?Copy !req
646. Can't you see it, Everett?Copy !req
647. Them sirens
did this to Pete.Copy !req
648. They loved him up...Copy !req
649. and turned him
into a... horny toad.Copy !req
650. Pete!Copy !req
651. Pete! Pete!Copy !req
652. Pete!Copy !req
653. Pete, it's me... Delmar.Copy !req
654. It's me... Delmar.Copy !req
655. Everett.Copy !req
656. Delmar, what the...Copy !req
657. What are we gonna do?Copy !req
658. I'm not sure that's Pete.Copy !req
659. Of course it's Pete.
Look at him.Copy !req
660. We got to find some kind of...
wizard can change him back.Copy !req
661. I'm just not sure that's Pete.Copy !req
662. You can't display a toad...Copy !req
663. in a fine restaurant
like this.Copy !req
664. Why, the good folks here'd
go right off their feed.Copy !req
665. Hey. I just don't
think it's right...Copy !req
666. keeping him
under wraps...Copy !req
667. like we was
ashamed of him.Copy !req
668. Well, if it is Pete,
I am ashamed of him.Copy !req
669. The way I see it,
he got what he deserved.Copy !req
670. Fornicating with
some whore of Babylon.Copy !req
671. These things don't happen
for no reason, Delmar.Copy !req
672. It's obviously some kind of
judgment on Pete's character.Copy !req
673. Well, the two of us was
fixin' to fornicate.Copy !req
674. You're gonna have to
excuse my rusticated friend...Copy !req
675. unaccustomed as he is
to city manners.Copy !req
676. Hmm?Copy !req
677. I guess
we'll have ourselves...Copy !req
678. a couple of steaks...Copy !req
679. and some, uh,
gratine potatoes...Copy !req
680. and wash it down with some
of your finest bubbly wine.Copy !req
681. Oh, and I don't suppose
you have any...Copy !req
682. Maybe the chef
could prepare...Copy !req
683. Just bring us a couple
of leaves of raw cabbage.Copy !req
684. Yes, sir.Copy !req
685. Thank you.Copy !req
686. That kind of
barnyard language...Copy !req
687. I don't believe I've seen
you boys around here before.Copy !req
688. Allow me
to introduce myself.Copy !req
689. Name of Daniel Teague...Copy !req
690. known in these precincts
as Big Dan Teague...Copy !req
691. Or to those who
are pressed for time...Copy !req
692. Big Dan tout court!Copy !req
693. How you doin', Big Dan?Copy !req
694. My name's Ulysses
Everett McGill.Copy !req
695. This is my associate
Delmar O'Donnel.Copy !req
696. I detect, like me...Copy !req
697. you're endowed
with the gift of gab.Copy !req
698. I flatter myself
that such is the case.Copy !req
699. In my line of work,
it's plumb necessary.Copy !req
700. The one thing
you don't want...Copy !req
701. is air in the conversation.Copy !req
702. Once again we find
ourselves in agreement.Copy !req
703. What kind of work
you do, Big Dan?Copy !req
704. Sales, Mr. McGill, sales!
And what do I sell?Copy !req
705. The truth,
every blessed word of it.Copy !req
706. From Genesis on down
to Revelations.Copy !req
707. That's right,
the Word of God...Copy !req
708. which, let me tell you,
there is damn good money in...Copy !req
709. during these times
of woe and want.Copy !req
710. People are lookin'
for answers...Copy !req
711. and Big Dan sells
the only book that's got 'em.Copy !req
712. And what do you do...Copy !req
713. you and your, uh,
tongue-tied friend?Copy !req
714. We, uh...Copy !req
715. we're adventurers, sir.Copy !req
716. Currently pursuing
a certain opportunity...Copy !req
717. but we're open
to others as well.Copy !req
718. I like your style,
young man...Copy !req
719. so I'm gonna propose you
a proposition.Copy !req
720. You cover my bill, so I don't
have to run back upstairs...Copy !req
721. get your waitress to wrap
your dinner picnic-style...Copy !req
722. And we shall retire
to more private environs...Copy !req
723. where I will tell you how there
are vast amounts of money...Copy !req
724. to be made in the service
of God almighty.Copy !req
725. Well, why not?
If nothin' else...Copy !req
726. I can use some
civilized conversation.Copy !req
727. Don't forget
your shoe box, friend.Copy !req
728. Languishin'!Copy !req
729. Goddamn campaign
is languishin'!Copy !req
730. We need
a shot in the arm.Copy !req
731. You hear me, boys?
In the goddamn arm!Copy !req
732. Election held tomorrow...Copy !req
733. that son of bitch Stokes
would win it in a walk!Copy !req
734. Well, he's the reform
candidate, Daddy.Copy !req
735. Yeah?Copy !req
736. A lot of people
like that reform.Copy !req
737. Maybe we should
get us some.Copy !req
738. I'll reform you,
you soft-headed son of a bitch.Copy !req
739. How we gonna run reform
when we're the damn incumbent?Copy !req
740. Is that the best idea
you boys can come up with?Copy !req
741. Reform?Copy !req
742. Weepin' Jesus on the cross.Copy !req
743. That's it!Copy !req
744. You may as well start drafting
my concession speech right now.Copy !req
745. Okay, Pappy.Copy !req
746. I'm just making a point,
you stupid son of a bitch.Copy !req
747. Give me back that hat!
Hurry up!Copy !req
748. Pappy's just
makin' a point.Copy !req
749. Shut up!Copy !req
750. Thank you, boys, for
throwing in that fricassee.Copy !req
751. I'm a man of
large appetites...Copy !req
752. and even with lunch
under my belt...Copy !req
753. I was feeling
a mite peckish.Copy !req
754. It's our pleasure,
Big Dan.Copy !req
755. Thank you as well for
the conversational hiatus.Copy !req
756. I generally refrain from
speech during gustation.Copy !req
757. There are those who attempt
both at the same time.Copy !req
758. I find it coarse and vulgar.Copy !req
759. Where were we?Copy !req
760. Making money in
the Lord's service.Copy !req
761. You don't say much, friend,
but when you do...Copy !req
762. it's to the point
and I salute you for it.Copy !req
763. Yes, Bible sales.Copy !req
764. Now, the trade is not
a complicated one.Copy !req
765. There are but 2 things
to learn...Copy !req
766. One being where to find
a wholesaler...Copy !req
767. the Word of God in bulk,
as it were.Copy !req
768. Two... how to recognize
your customer.Copy !req
769. Who are you dealing with?Copy !req
770. It's an exercise in
psychology, so to speak.Copy !req
771. And it is that
which I propose...Copy !req
772. to give you a lesson in
right now.Copy !req
773. Why, I like to think
I'm a pretty astute observer...Copy !req
774. of the human scene,
too, Big Dan.Copy !req
775. No doubt, brother.Copy !req
776. I figured as much back
at the restaurant.Copy !req
777. That's why I invited
you all out here...Copy !req
778. for this advanced tutorial.Copy !req
779. Unh!Copy !req
780. What's going on, Big Dan?Copy !req
781. It's all about
the money, boys!Copy !req
782. Big Dan: That's it!Copy !req
783. Gol... durned... money!Copy !req
784. I don't get it, Big Dan.Copy !req
785. Raah!Copy !req
786. I just take
your show cards.Copy !req
787. Yaah!Copy !req
788. And whatever
you got in the hole.Copy !req
789. What the...Copy !req
790. there ain't nothin'
but a damn toad.Copy !req
791. No, you don't
understand.Copy !req
792. That's Pete.Copy !req
793. Pete.Copy !req
794. You know these things
give you warts?Copy !req
795. End of lesson.Copy !req
796. So long, boys.
Hee hee hee.Copy !req
797. See you in
the funny papers.Copy !req
798. Y'all seen the end
of Big Dan Teague.Copy !req
799. Where are they?Copy !req
800. Talk, you unreconstructed
whelp of a whore!Copy !req
801. Where they headed?Copy !req
802. Aah!Copy !req
803. Your screams ain't
gonna save your flesh...Copy !req
804. Aah!Copy !req
805. Only your tongue is, boy.
Where they headed?Copy !req
806. Aah!Copy !req
807. Lump, I.O.Copy !req
808. Sweet summer rain.Copy !req
809. Like God's own mercy.Copy !req
810. Your two friends
have abandoned you, Pete.Copy !req
811. They don't seem
to care about your hide.Copy !req
812. Okay.Copy !req
813. Stairway to heaven.Copy !req
814. We shall all meet by-and-by.Copy !req
815. Goddamn it!Copy !req
816. God forgive me!Copy !req
817. Hold.Copy !req
818. Believe me, Delmar, he would
have wanted us to press on.Copy !req
819. Pete, rest his soul...Copy !req
820. was one sour ass
son of a bitch...Copy !req
821. and not given to acts of
pointless sentimentality.Copy !req
822. It just don't seem right...Copy !req
823. digging up that
treasure without him.Copy !req
824. Maybe it's for the best
he was squished.Copy !req
825. Why, he...Copy !req
826. was barely a sentient
being and...Copy !req
827. well, as soon as we get
ourselves cleaned up...Copy !req
828. and we get a little
smellum in our hair...Copy !req
829. why, we're gonna feel
100% better about ourselves...Copy !req
830. and about...
life in general.Copy !req
831. Must be near Parchman Farm.Copy !req
832. Sorry sons of bitches.Copy !req
833. Seems like a year ago
we busted off the farm.Copy !req
834. Pete got a brother?Copy !req
835. Not that I'm aware.Copy !req
836. Heat must be getting to me.Copy !req
837. That was wonderful.
That sure was.Copy !req
838. Yes.Copy !req
839. Now, I know the Sunnysiders
would agree with me...Copy !req
840. when I say the great state
of Mississippi...Copy !req
841. cannot afford 4 more years
of Pappy O'Daniel!Copy !req
842. 4 more years of cronyism!Copy !req
843. Nepotism! Rascalism!Copy !req
844. Of service
to the interests!Copy !req
845. Now, the choice,
she's a clear 'un.Copy !req
846. Pappy O'Daniel,
slave of the interests.Copy !req
847. Homer Stokes,
servant of the little man.Copy !req
848. Ain't that right,
little fella?Copy !req
849. He ain't lyin'!Copy !req
850. Ladies and gentlemen,
the little man has admonished me...Copy !req
851. to grasp the broom of reform...Copy !req
852. and sweep this state clean!Copy !req
853. It's gonna be,
"Back to the flour mill, Pappy!Copy !req
854. The interests can
take care of themselves!"Copy !req
855. Come Tuesday...Copy !req
856. we're gonna sweep
the rascals out!Copy !req
857. Clean government
is yours for the asking!Copy !req
858. Folks,
now the little Wharvey gals!Copy !req
859. Wharvey gals?Copy !req
860. Did he just say
little Wharvey gals?Copy !req
861. Come here, girls.Copy !req
862. What y'all
gonna sing for us?Copy !req
863. "In the highways."Copy !req
864. Goddamn it all!Copy !req
865. You know them gals,
Everett?Copy !req
866. Hey, girls!Copy !req
867. - Daddy!

868. Ha ha ha!Copy !req
869. Daddy? He ain't
our daddy.Copy !req
870. Hell, I ain't.
What's this Wharvey gals?Copy !req
871. Your name's McGill.Copy !req
872. No, sir. Not since you
got hit by that train.Copy !req
873. What are you talking about?
I wasn't hit by any train.Copy !req
874. Mama says you was
hit by a train.Copy !req
875. - Blooey!
- Nothin' left.Copy !req
876. Just a grease spot
on the I & N.Copy !req
877. Damn it,
I wasn't hit by any train!Copy !req
878. That's why Mama's
got us back to Wharvey.Copy !req
879. That's her maiden name.Copy !req
880. You got a maiden
name, Daddy?Copy !req
881. No, Daddy don't have
a maiden name. See...Copy !req
882. That's your misfortune.Copy !req
883. That's right, and now
Mama's got a new beau.Copy !req
884. He's a suitor.Copy !req
885. Yeah, I heard about that.Copy !req
886. Mama says
he's bona fide.Copy !req
887. Mmm.Copy !req
888. He give her a ring?Copy !req
889. Yes, sir.
A big 'un.Copy !req
890. - Gotta gem.
- Mama checked it.Copy !req
891. It's bona fide.Copy !req
892. He's a suitor.Copy !req
893. What's his name?Copy !req
894. Vernon T. Waldrip.Copy !req
895. Uncle Vernon.Copy !req
896. Till tomorrow.Copy !req
897. Then he's gonna be Daddy.Copy !req
898. I am the only daddy
you got.Copy !req
899. I am the damn
paterfamilias.Copy !req
900. But you ain't
bona fide.Copy !req
901. Where's your mama?Copy !req
902. She's at
the five-and-dime.Copy !req
903. Buying nipples.Copy !req
904. Daddy!Copy !req
905. Hello, sugar! Ha ha!Copy !req
906. How's my little girl?Copy !req
907. Hi.Copy !req
908. Who the hell's that?Copy !req
909. Starla Wharvey.Copy !req
910. Starla McGill, you mean.Copy !req
911. How come you never
told me about her?Copy !req
912. 'Cause you was
hit by a train.Copy !req
913. That's another thing.Copy !req
914. Why are you telling our gals
I was hit by a train?Copy !req
915. Lots of respectable people
been hit by trains.Copy !req
916. Judge Hobby over in Cookville
was hit by a train.Copy !req
917. What was I supposed
to tell 'em...Copy !req
918. that you were sent
to the penal farm...Copy !req
919. and I divorced you
from shame?Copy !req
920. I take your point.Copy !req
921. But it does put me in
a damned awkward position...Copy !req
922. vis à vis my progeny.Copy !req
923. Hello, Penny.Copy !req
924. Is this gentlemen
bothering you?Copy !req
925. You Waldrip?Copy !req
926. Uh-huh. That's right.Copy !req
927. Hmm.Copy !req
928. You been using
my hair treatment?Copy !req
929. Your hair treatment?Copy !req
930. Excuse me.Copy !req
931. I got news for you.Copy !req
932. In case you hadn't noticed,
I wasn't hit by a train...Copy !req
933. and I have traveled
many a weary mile...Copy !req
934. to be back with my wife
and my 6 daughters.Copy !req
935. Seven, Daddy!Copy !req
936. That ain't your daddy,
Alvinelle.Copy !req
937. Your daddy was hit
by a train.Copy !req
938. Penny, you stop that!Copy !req
939. No, you stop it!
Vernon here's got a job.Copy !req
940. Vernon's got prospects.
He's bona fide.Copy !req
941. What are you?Copy !req
942. I'll tell you what I am...Copy !req
943. I am the paterfamilias,
and you can't marry him!Copy !req
944. I can, I am, and I will,
tomorrow.Copy !req
945. I got to think about
the little Wharvey gals.Copy !req
946. They look to me
for answers.Copy !req
947. Vernon can support 'em...Copy !req
948. and buy 'em lessons
on the clarinet.Copy !req
949. The only good thing you
ever did for the gals...Copy !req
950. was get hit
by that train!Copy !req
951. Why, you lying
unconstant succubus.Copy !req
952. Whoa, whoa, whoa!Copy !req
953. You can't swear
at my fiancee!Copy !req
954. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
955. Well, you can't
marry my wife!Copy !req
956. Unh! Unh!Copy !req
957. Who is that man?Copy !req
958. He's not my husband.Copy !req
959. Just a drifter, I guess.Copy !req
960. Just some
no-account drifter.Copy !req
961. Aah! Unh!Copy !req
962. And stay out
of Woolworth's!Copy !req
963. I'll bet
she does imitations, too.Copy !req
964. Deceitful,
two-faced she-wolf.Copy !req
965. Never trust a female,
Delmar.Copy !req
966. Remember that
one simple precept...Copy !req
967. and your time with me
will not have been ill-spent.Copy !req
968. Okay, Everett.Copy !req
969. "Hit by a train."Copy !req
970. Truth means nothing
to a woman, Delmar.Copy !req
971. Triumph of the subjective.Copy !req
972. You ever been
with a woman?Copy !req
973. Well, I've...Copy !req
974. I-I got to get
the family farm back...Copy !req
975. before I can start
thinking about that.Copy !req
976. That's right. If then.Copy !req
977. Believe me, Delmar,
a woman is the most fiendish...Copy !req
978. instrument of torture
ever devised...Copy !req
979. to bedevil the days of man.Copy !req
980. Everett, I never figured you
for a paterfamilias.Copy !req
981. Ohh, yes.
I have spread my seed.Copy !req
982. And look what it's...Copy !req
983. Goddamn it.
What the hell's going on?Copy !req
984. Okay, boys.
Enjoy your picture show.Copy !req
985. Do... not...
seek the treasure.Copy !req
986. Do not...Copy !req
987. seek the treasure.Copy !req
988. It's a bushwhack.Copy !req
989. They're fixin' an ambush.Copy !req
990. Do not seek the treasure.Copy !req
991. We...Copy !req
992. We thought you was...Copy !req
993. a toad.Copy !req
994. We... thought...Copy !req
995. you... was... a toad.Copy !req
996. Do not seek the treasure.Copy !req
997. Quiet there!
Watch the picture!Copy !req
998. I signed that bill.Copy !req
999. I signed a dozen
agriculture bills.Copy !req
1000. Everyone knows I'm
a friend of the farmer.Copy !req
1001. What do I gotta do,
start tending livestock?Copy !req
1002. We can't do that, Daddy.Copy !req
1003. We might offend
our constituency.Copy !req
1004. We ain't got
a constituency!Copy !req
1005. Stokes got a constituency!Copy !req
1006. Well, it's a well-run campaign.Copy !req
1007. Midget and broom
and whatnot.Copy !req
1008. Devil his due.Copy !req
1009. Hell of an organization.Copy !req
1010. Say, I got an idea.Copy !req
1011. What's that, junior?Copy !req
1012. We can hire us
a little fella...Copy !req
1013. even smaller than Stokes's.Copy !req
1014. You slump-shouldered
sack of nuts!Copy !req
1015. Why, we'd look like a bunch
of Johnny-come-latelys...Copy !req
1016. breakin' out our own midget.Copy !req
1017. Don't matter how stumpy!Copy !req
1018. And that's the goddamn
problem right there.Copy !req
1019. People think Stokes
has got fresh ideas.Copy !req
1020. He's au courant
and we're the past!Copy !req
1021. It's a problem of...Copy !req
1022. - Perception.
- That's right.Copy !req
1023. Reason why he's pulling
our pants down.Copy !req
1024. Gonna paddle
a little behind.Copy !req
1025. Ain't gonna paddle it.
Gonna kick it. Real hard.Copy !req
1026. No, I believe
he's gonna paddle it.Copy !req
1027. I don't believe that's
a proper description.Copy !req
1028. Well, that's how
I'd characterize it.Copy !req
1029. I believe it's more of
a kickin' situation.Copy !req
1030. God... God forgive me.Copy !req
1031. I could not gaze upon
that far shore.Copy !req
1032. Pete.Copy !req
1033. Hold still!Copy !req
1034. Can't... stand much longer.Copy !req
1035. It was... it was
a mo-moment of weakness.Copy !req
1036. Quit yer babblin', Pete.
We gotta skedaddle.Copy !req
1037. That's all I got.Copy !req
1038. They lured me out
for a bathe...Copy !req
1039. and then they dunked me,
trussed me up like a hog...Copy !req
1040. and turned me in
for the bounty.Copy !req
1041. I should have guessed it.Copy !req
1042. Typical womanly behavior.Copy !req
1043. We're just lucky we left...Copy !req
1044. before they came back for us.Copy !req
1045. We didn't abandon you, Pete.Copy !req
1046. We just thought
you was a toad.Copy !req
1047. No, they never did
turn me into a toad.Copy !req
1048. Well, that was
our mistake then.Copy !req
1049. And we was beat up
by a bible salesman...Copy !req
1050. and banished
from Woolworths.Copy !req
1051. I don't know, Everett.Copy !req
1052. Was it the one branch
or all of them?Copy !req
1053. Well, I ain't had it easy,
either, boys.Copy !req
1054. Frankly, uh, well, I...Copy !req
1055. I spilt my guts
about the treasure.Copy !req
1056. Huh?Copy !req
1057. I'm awful sorry
I betrayed you, fellas.Copy !req
1058. Must be my Hogwallop blood.Copy !req
1059. That's all right, Pete.Copy !req
1060. Awful white of you to take it
like that, Everett.Copy !req
1061. I feel wretched.Copy !req
1062. Spoiling your play for
a million dollar point two.Copy !req
1063. Pete Sobbing:
It's been eatin' at my guts.Copy !req
1064. Oh, that's all right.Copy !req
1065. You boys are true friends!
Ohh!Copy !req
1066. You're my boon companions.Copy !req
1067. Pete, I don't want you...Copy !req
1068. to beat yourself up
about this, eh?Copy !req
1069. I can't help it...Copy !req
1070. but that's a-a
wonderful thing to say.Copy !req
1071. Yeah.Copy !req
1072. Pete, uh...Copy !req
1073. the fact of the matter is...Copy !req
1074. damn it.Copy !req
1075. There ain't no treasure.Copy !req
1076. Fact of the matter is
there never was.Copy !req
1077. But...Copy !req
1078. So where's all the money
from the armored car job?Copy !req
1079. Never knocked over
no armored car.Copy !req
1080. Sent up for practicing
law without a license.Copy !req
1081. But...Copy !req
1082. Damn it,
I had to bust out.Copy !req
1083. My wife wrote me
she was getting married...Copy !req
1084. I gotta stop it.Copy !req
1085. I had 2 weeks left
on my sentence.Copy !req
1086. I couldn't wait 2 weeks.Copy !req
1087. She's getting
married tomorrow.Copy !req
1088. My added time
for the escape...Copy !req
1089. I don't get out now
till 19... 87.Copy !req
1090. I am sorry about that.Copy !req
1091. I'll be...Copy !req
1092. 84 years old.Copy !req
1093. I guess they'll tack on
50 years for me, too.Copy !req
1094. Boys, we was
chained together.Copy !req
1095. I had to tell you
something.Copy !req
1096. Busting out alone
was not an option.Copy !req
1097. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1098. 84 years old.Copy !req
1099. Well, I'll only be 82.Copy !req
1100. You! You ruined my life!Copy !req
1101. Unh!Copy !req
1102. You ruined my life!Copy !req
1103. I do apologize
about that, Pete.Copy !req
1104. 84 years old!Copy !req
1105. I'll be going...Copy !req
1106. Delmar!Copy !req
1107. Now, boys. Boys.Copy !req
1108. That's Tommy.
They got Tommy.Copy !req
1109. Noose.Copy !req
1110. Sweet Jesus,
we got to save him.Copy !req
1111. The color guard.Copy !req
1112. Brothers!Copy !req
1113. Oh, brothers!Copy !req
1114. We have all gathered here...Copy !req
1115. to preserve our hallowed
culture and heritage...Copy !req
1116. from intrusion...Copy !req
1117. inclusion...Copy !req
1118. and dilution...Copy !req
1119. of color, of creed...Copy !req
1120. and of our old-time religion.Copy !req
1121. We aim to pull
evil up by the root...Copy !req
1122. before it chokes out...Copy !req
1123. the flower of
our culture and heritage.Copy !req
1124. And our women.Copy !req
1125. Let's not forget
those ladies, y'all...Copy !req
1126. Iooking to us
for protection...Copy !req
1127. from darkies...Copy !req
1128. from jews...Copy !req
1129. from papists...Copy !req
1130. and from all
those smart-ass folks...Copy !req
1131. say we come descended
from monkeys.Copy !req
1132. That's not
my culture and heritage.Copy !req
1133. Yes!Copy !req
1134. Is that
your culture and heritage?Copy !req
1135. No!Copy !req
1136. And so...Copy !req
1137. we gonna hang us a Negro.Copy !req
1138. Hooray, hooray!Copy !req
1139. I ain't never harmed you...Copy !req
1140. Neither of you gentlemen.Copy !req
1141. Uh...Copy !req
1142. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1143. I ain't never
harmed nobody.Copy !req
1144. Hey, hey, Tommy.Copy !req
1145. Huh?Copy !req
1146. Tommy,
we come to rescue you.Copy !req
1147. That's mighty kind
of you boys...Copy !req
1148. but I don't think nothing's
going to save me now.Copy !req
1149. The devil's come
to collect his due.Copy !req
1150. Don't be crazy, Tommy.Copy !req
1151. You don't want
to get hanged.Copy !req
1152. Well, nah,
I don't reckon I do...Copy !req
1153. but that's the way
it seems to be working out.Copy !req
1154. Listen, Tommy,
I got a plan.Copy !req
1155. No!Copy !req
1156. The color guard is colored.Copy !req
1157. Who made them
the color guard?Copy !req
1158. Run, boys!Copy !req
1159. Whoa!Copy !req
1160. No, no, son!Copy !req
1161. Can't let that flag
touch the ground!Copy !req
1162. Ooh.Copy !req
1163. Heh heh.Copy !req
1164. Leave me alone.
Get your hands off me.Copy !req
1165. I can do this myself.
Get away from me.Copy !req
1166. I'm saying we should
hire this man away.Copy !req
1167. That's a good idea, Pappy.Copy !req
1168. Hell of an idea.Copy !req
1169. Can't beat 'em,
join 'em.Copy !req
1170. Have him join us.
Run our campaign...Copy !req
1171. instead of
that egghead's.Copy !req
1172. Enticements of power,
wealth, et cetera.Copy !req
1173. No one says no
to Pappy O'Daniel.Copy !req
1174. Oh, gracious, no...Copy !req
1175. Not with his
blandishments.Copy !req
1176. And powers of persuasion.Copy !req
1177. What's his name again?Copy !req
1178. The campaign manager?Copy !req
1179. Yes.Copy !req
1180. Waldrip.Copy !req
1181. Vernon Waldrip.Copy !req
1182. Vernon T. Waldrip.Copy !req
1183. Hmm.Copy !req
1184. It's
an invitation-only affair.Copy !req
1185. We'll have to sneak in...Copy !req
1186. through
the service entrance.Copy !req
1187. Hold on.Copy !req
1188. Wait a minute.Copy !req
1189. Who elected you
leader of this outfit?Copy !req
1190. Since we've been
following your lead...Copy !req
1191. we got nothing
but trouble.Copy !req
1192. I've gotten this close
to being strung up...Copy !req
1193. and consumed in a fire
and whipped no end...Copy !req
1194. and sunstroked
and soggied.Copy !req
1195. And turned into a frog.Copy !req
1196. He wasn't
turned into a frog.Copy !req
1197. Almost loved up, though.Copy !req
1198. So, you're against me
now, too?Copy !req
1199. Is that how it is, boys?Copy !req
1200. The whole world...Copy !req
1201. and God almighty...Copy !req
1202. Now you?Copy !req
1203. I guess I deserve it.Copy !req
1204. Boys...Copy !req
1205. I know that I made
some tactical mistakes...Copy !req
1206. but if you just
stick with me...Copy !req
1207. I got a plan.
Believe me, boys...Copy !req
1208. we can fix this thing...Copy !req
1209. and I can get
my wife back...Copy !req
1210. and we can
get out of here.Copy !req
1211. Goddamn disgrace!Copy !req
1212. Made a travesty
of the entire evening.Copy !req
1213. Ohh.Copy !req
1214. What I wouldn't give to get
ahold of those agitators.Copy !req
1215. I mean, whoever heard
of such behavior...Copy !req
1216. even amongst the colored?Copy !req
1217. Or mulattos, maybe.Copy !req
1218. I suspect some miscegenation
in their heritage.Copy !req
1219. How else you going
to explain it?Copy !req
1220. Using a confederate flag
as a missile...Copy !req
1221. Crazy! No one's
ever going to believe...Copy !req
1222. we're a real band.Copy !req
1223. No. It's going to work.Copy !req
1224. I just got to get
close enough to talk to her.Copy !req
1225. Taking off with us
has got more future...Copy !req
1226. than marrying
some guy named Waldrip.Copy !req
1227. I'm goddamn bona fide.Copy !req
1228. I got the answers.Copy !req
1229. Everett,
my beard itches.Copy !req
1230. Hey. Hey.Copy !req
1231. "In the Jailhouse Now,"
fellers...Copy !req
1232. neighborhood of "B."Copy !req
1233. Psst!Copy !req
1234. Penny.Copy !req
1235. Ahem.Copy !req
1236. It's me.Copy !req
1237. No.Copy !req
1238. Honey, honey.Copy !req
1239. We're leaving the state.Copy !req
1240. Pursuing opportunities
in another venue.Copy !req
1241. I got big plans.Copy !req
1242. Not minstrels...
this here's just a dodge.Copy !req
1243. I'm going to be a dentist.Copy !req
1244. I know this guy
who'll print me up a license.Copy !req
1245. Why, that is
an improper suggestion.Copy !req
1246. I... I... I can't switch sides...Copy !req
1247. in the middle
of a campaign...Copy !req
1248. Especially to work for a man
who lacks moral fiber.Copy !req
1249. Moral fiber?Copy !req
1250. Why, you little
pasty-face sumbitch.Copy !req
1251. I invented moral fiber.Copy !req
1252. Pappy O'Daniel
was displaying...Copy !req
1253. rectitude
and high-mindedness...Copy !req
1254. when that egghead
you work for...Copy !req
1255. was still messing
his drawers.Copy !req
1256. Everett Whispering:
Psst! Honey.Copy !req
1257. Go away.Copy !req
1258. I want to be what
you want me to be, honey.Copy !req
1259. I want you and the gals
to come with me.Copy !req
1260. What, dear?Copy !req
1261. What are you
doing here, Pappy?Copy !req

1342. Wants to thank
the Soggy Bottom Boys...Copy !req
1343. for that wonderful
performance.Copy !req
1344. And it looks like...Copy !req
1345. the only man

1346. who ain't a music lover...Copy !req
1347. is my esteemed opponent
in the upcoming...Copy !req
1348. Homer Stokes.Copy !req
1349. Yeah, well, there ain't
no accounting for taste.Copy !req
1350. He sounded to me
like he was harboring...Copy !req
1351. some kind of
hateful grudge...Copy !req
1352. against the Soggy Bottom Boys...Copy !req
1353. on account of
their rough and rowdy past.Copy !req
1354. Looks like...Copy !req
1355. Looks like...Copy !req
1356. Homer Stokes
is the kind of fellow...Copy !req
1357. wants to cast
the first stone.Copy !req
1358. Well, I'm with you, folks.Copy !req
1359. I'm a forgive and forget
Christian...Copy !req
1360. and I say if
their rambunctiousness...Copy !req

1373. the power behind
the throne, so to speak.Copy !req
1374. Oh, okay.Copy !req
1375. So, without further ado...Copy !req
1376. and by way of endorsing
my candidacy...Copy !req
1377. the Soggy Bottom Boys...Copy !req
1378. is going to lead us all
in a chorus...Copy !req
1379. of "You Are My Sunshine."Copy !req
1380. Ain't you, boys?Copy !req
1381. Governor, it's one
of our favorites.Copy !req
1382. Son...Copy !req

1384. I guess
Vernon T. Waldrip...Copy !req
1385. is gonna be
going on relief.Copy !req
1386. Maybe I can throw
a little patronage his way...Copy !req
1387. Get him a job

1388. or rounding up
stray dogs.Copy !req
1389. So, is the marriage off,
then, Miss Wharvey?Copy !req
1390. It's McGill.Copy !req
1391. No. The marriage will
take place as planned.Copy !req
1392. With a little
change of cast.Copy !req
1393. Me and the little lady are
going to pick up the pieces...Copy !req
1394. and retie the knot,
mixaphorically speaking.Copy !req
1395. You boys are invited,
of course.Copy !req
1396. Hell,
you're the best men.Copy !req
1397. I already got the rings.Copy !req
1398. Where's your ring, honey?Copy !req
1399. I ain't worn it since
our divorce came through.Copy !req
1400. It must still be in
the roll-top in the old cabin.Copy !req
1401. Never thought I'd need it.Copy !req
1402. Vernon bought one
encrusted with jewels.Copy !req
1403. Now's the time
to buy it off him cheap.Copy !req
1404. We ain't getting married
with his ring.Copy !req

1420. Hello, boys!Copy !req
1421. Well, these little men...Copy !req
1422. finally caught up with
the criminal of the century.Copy !req
1423. Looks like the chair

from my fingertips!Copy !req
1433. I'm George Nelson...Copy !req
1434. and I'm feeling
10 feet tall!Copy !req
1435. Looks like George

1436. Cow killer!Copy !req
1437. Well, at least
you boys get to see...Copy !req
1438. the ancestral manse...Copy !req
1439. The home where I spent
so many a happy day...Copy !req
1440. in the bosom
of my family...Copy !req
1441. refugin', if you will...Copy !req
1442. With a mighty oak tree
out front...Copy !req
1443. and a happy
little tire swing on it.Copy !req
1444. Where's the happy
little tire swing?Copy !req
1445. End of the road, boys.Copy !req
1446. No. Wait a minute.Copy !req
1447. Let's go, boys.Copy !req
1448. It's had
its twists and turns.Copy !req
1449. Now it deposits you here.Copy !req
1450. Wait a minute.Copy !req
1451. You have eluded fate...Copy !req
1452. and you have eluded me...Copy !req
1453. for the last time.Copy !req

1455. You can't do this, now.Copy !req

to wait his turn...Copy !req
1458. share one of your graves.Copy !req
1459. You can't do this.Copy !req
1460. We just got pardoned
by the governor hisself.Copy !req
1461. It went out on the radio.Copy !req
1462. Is that right?Copy !req
1463. Well, we ain't got a radio.Copy !req
1464. God have mercy.Copy !req
1465. It ain't fittin'.Copy !req
1466. It ain't the law.Copy !req
1467. The law?Copy !req
1468. The law is
a human institution.Copy !req
1469. Perhaps you should start
making your prayers.Copy !req
1470. Oh, my God.Copy !req
1471. Everett?Copy !req
1472. Tommy, I'm sorry
we got you into this.Copy !req

1477. us poor sinners.Copy !req
1478. Please, Lord.Copy !req
1479. I just want to see
my daughters again.Copy !req
1480. I've been separated
from my family for so long.Copy !req
1481. I know I've been
guilty of pride...Copy !req
1482. and sharp dealing.Copy !req
1483. I'm sorry that
I turned my back on you.Copy !req
1484. Forgive me.Copy !req
1485. We're helpless, Lord.Copy !req
1486. For the sake of my family.Copy !req

1493. It was a miracle!Copy !req
1494. Delmar,
don't be ignorant.Copy !req
1495. I told you they was
flooding this valley.Copy !req
1496. No! That ain't it!Copy !req
1497. We prayed to God
and he pitied us!Copy !req
1498. Well, it never fails.Copy !req
1499. Once again, you two
hayseeds are showin'Copy !req
1500. how much you want
for intellect.Copy !req
1501. There's a perfectly
scientific explanation...Copy !req
1502. for what just happened.Copy !req
1503. That ain't the tune
you was singin'...Copy !req
1504. back there
at the gallows!Copy !req
1505. Well, any human being
will cast about...Copy !req
1506. in a moment of stress.Copy !req
1507. No, the fact is, they're
flooding this valley...Copy !req
1508. so they can hydroelectric
up the whole durn state.Copy !req
1509. Yes, sir, the South
is gonna change.Copy !req
1510. Everything's gonna be
put on electricity...Copy !req
1511. and run on
a paying basis.Copy !req
1512. Out with the old
spiritual mumbo jumbo...Copy !req
1513. the superstitions,
and the backward ways.Copy !req
1514. We're gonna see
a brave new world...Copy !req
1515. where they run
everybody a wire...Copy !req
1516. and hook us all up
to a grid.Copy !req
1517. Yes, sir, a veritable
age of reason.Copy !req
1518. Like the one
they had in France.Copy !req
1519. Not a moment too soon.Copy !req
1520. Not a moment too soon.Copy !req
1521. Hey, there's Tommy.Copy !req
1522. Tommy,
what you ridin' there?Copy !req
1523. Unh! Whoa.Copy !req
1524. Roll-top desk.Copy !req
1525. "All's well that ends well,"
some poet said.Copy !req
1526. That's right, honey.Copy !req
1527. Don't mind telling you
I'm awful pleased...Copy !req
1528. my adventuring days
have come to an end.Copy !req
1529. Time for this old boy
to enjoy some repose.Copy !req
1530. That's good, honey.Copy !req
1531. You were right about
that ring, too.Copy !req
1532. Any other wedding band
wouldn't do.Copy !req
1533. This here was
fore-ordained.Copy !req
1534. Fate was a-smilin'
on me.Copy !req
1535. That's not my ring.Copy !req
1536. What? Not your ring?Copy !req
1537. That's one of
Aunt Hurlene's.Copy !req
1538. You said it was
in the roll-top desk.Copy !req
1539. I said I thought it was
in the roll-top desk.Copy !req
1540. No, you said...Copy !req
1541. Or under the mattress.Copy !req
1542. Or maybe in my chifforobe.
I don't know.Copy !req
1543. Well, I'm sorry, honey.Copy !req
1544. We need that ring.Copy !req
1545. That ring is at the bottom
of a pretty durn big lake.Copy !req
1546. Uh-uh.Copy !req
1547. A 9,000-hectare lake.Copy !req
1548. I don't care if it's 90,000.
That lake was not my doing.Copy !req
1549. Of course not, honey...Copy !req
1550. I counted to 3, honey.Copy !req
1551. No, wait, honey.Copy !req
1552. Finding one
little ring in the middle...Copy !req
1553. of all that water
is one hell of a heroic task!Copy !req
