Woman: Surprise.

All: Surprise! Ahh!

You son of a bitch! We missed you!

- Yeah. - Welcome home, dickhead.

How was the man pussy in the slammer?

Give me one of those.

Yeah, he's back.

How many years you do anyways?

Foun -

You fuckin' queer!

Welcome back, brother.

Thank you.

Man, it's so good to have you back.

Ithoughtaboutyou damn near every day.

- Hello, gang. - Shut up!

She's a good woman. She's a rock.

Y'all heard the one about the gardener?

Douche box!

Actually, I believe douche comes in a can.

Do it, do it, do it!

- Take it in your mouth, hippie! - Do it, do it!

- Do it, do it! - Argh-hh!

Do it, do it, do it.

Do it!

Come on!

Hold on, Luke. What the fuck you doin'?

Eating lunch.

Well, eat it out front, then! I ain't paying you

to be no Bob-ass-Dylan!

Sorry, ma'am.

Oh, sorry about that.

Can I help you, ma'am?

I got these rings,

this necklace.

Emeralds... They're my birthstone.

How much you want?

I want a gun.

Roberta: He can't touch no gun, Shirley.

Just got out of prison.

Gonna have to wait for me.

Roberta: Oh, fuck it. I gotta go. Bye.

Go. Sweep.

What can I do for you, honey?

- Pistol? - Shotgun.

I'm going on a trip.

- Ha! Get him! - Ha ha!

God damn it!

What?

What's your fuckin' prob, huh?

What? Can't get hard for me no more?

I guess I'm still adjusting, Cheryl.

Adjusted to what?

Huh? A female?

Hey, maybe Kenny was right. The joint queered you.

I ain't queer. Just don't feel right yet.

Well, maybe I ain't willing to wait for you to feel right!

A lot of men want to fuck me, you know?

Gerald,

Kenny,

Steven,

and countless other scum-fucks whose names I don't even recall.

You must be proud.

You know, I was gonna lie to you out of courtesy,

but fuck you, here it comes...

I'm pregnant!

Gerald?

Daryl.

Cheryl and Daryl.

I like that. May be something in there.

Fuck you! Get the fuck out!

Sorry motherfucker.

Fuckin' go! Get out!

Don't you ever fuckin' come back here!

God.

Shit.

So what's your excuse now, dipshit?

Cheryl kicked me out again.

So where the hell did you sleep?

Underan under a thing.

Well, that sounds nice,

but I pay you to open!

Oh, shit.

I don't fucking have time to deal with this right now.

I have got to meet a client.

You stay here until I get back.

And then we will discuss

your employment.

You know you're an asshole, right?

A grown asshole.

Pssh-shew.

Daryl: Welcome back, brother.

Kenny: You fuckin' queer!

Cheryl: Fuck you, here it comes.

Roberta: A grown asshole!

- Freeze. - Cheryl: Pregnant!

Man: We missed you!

This you?

Yes, sir.

Man's voice: "Dearest brother,

been a long time since we last spoke.

It seems you're not the easiest fellow to track these days,

so if you're even reading this,

I'll consider it a bit of a miracle.

Anyway, I've been running a little pony ranch

just outside of sun river.

Got a lot of colts this year and Susan just had another boy...

A human.

Anyway, I know you hate that cowboy stuff and all,

but we could sure use a good hand out here.

Plus you have some new family to meet.

So if you can make it out to Oregon, you got a job

and a soft place to land."

Rambler's voice: "Dearest brother,

I have decided to join you and your family

on the Oregon ranch. Just like old times, I guess.

I have found myself far from home,

so I apologize in advance for my delayed arrival.

But unless I die or something worse,

I will deliver myself to the ranch ready to work just as fast as I can.

Well, I seem to have run out of words.

Take care. Sincerely..."

Hey there.

Highway lose you or something?

Yeah.

Good job. You're officially nowhere.

How far to somewhere?

About three miles.

West.

That where you're going?

I guess so.

Got any room on that guy?

Probably not.

There is that bicycle.

Bottle of red, cheapest smokes.

Whatever.

Eight.

Thanks, sir.

They're mummies.

You... you like mummies?

Uh, it records dreams to vhs.

It works?

Has before.

Rambler: How far are you taking me, friend?

Driver: That's up to you, I guess.

See, I stop in almost every town.

Put a little road show on,

bring the public my technologies.

In fact, I have a stop planned for this evening.

Hording, about 80 miles from here.

Okay, man.

That's it... twist and turn, twist and turn,

twist and turn. Good.

Excellent. Excellent.

Ah, a customer.

Yes?

What are the mummies for?

Oh, my dear madam,

they... they are real authentic mummies

for your enjoyment.

What's he doing?

Oh, he is preparing

the most important scientific advancement of our time.

What the fuck does it do?

Oh, this machine, my dear madam,

is capable of capturing

the very essence of your mind.

Would you like to volunteer?

- I don't get it. - Oh, well, it's simple.

See, if you allow me to sit you in this chair here

and then strap you into this mechanism here,

I will be able to display your dreams

on this monitor

and record them on vhs tape

for your own personal enjoyment.

You mean like sleep dreams?

Yes, yes.

I can't just go to sleep now. I'm not even tired.

I have sleeping gas.

I don't get the connection between that...

Ah, I had to diversify, you see?

I had these mummies lying about,

and if, uh... well, people enjoy that sort of thing.

You belong in jail.

Hey, I'll try.

Ah!

Step right up.

Sit yourself into this chair here.

Nice coat.

Oh, thank you! Colorful shirt.

- Thank you. - All right.

Let me strap you in here.

What is your name, my friend?

- Kevin. - Ah, Kevin.

Now let me put this on your head.

There you go.

- Is that comfortable? - Yeah.

Good. All right.

Now...

All right.

I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

Sweet dreams, my friend.

That's it.

Easy now.

Breathe.

That's it, relax.

Good.

So what are you going to do with him?

Mummify him, probably.

But I'm gonna need a drink.

Uh, Tequila from the well.

Uh, excuse me, miss?

Do you know that woman?

The shape of her head is... Is near perfect.

It's... it's like a...

Fleshy brunette planet.

You better tell her how you feel.

What's the buy-in?

Okay.

Oh, come on, give me that.

Give me the cards, give me the cards.

Are you looking at my cards?

Are you in, fat man?

You see that man over there?

Rambler: I see him.

That man is dangerous.

Sexually.

He does butt-type stuff to me.

Maybe you should do something.

It's guy stuff.

Are you two fucking done, man?

All in.

All in.

Me too.

Yeah!

Oh, fuck, man!

Read 'em and weep, fellas!

Oh, shit!

Fuck!

Hey, guys, anybody thirsty?

- Yeah, sure... - Are you seriously talking

to the mother of my goddamn child?

- I ain't the mother of shit. - Fat man: Hey!

Rambler: Argh! Damn it!

Ah, excuse me.

Let's see that hand.

Ooh.

Your winnings.

Thanks.

Better hold on to your cash around here, brother.

Let me look at that hand.

That hurt?

- Yeah. - Ah, you'll do fine.

I'm Dale, by the way.

Hey, Dale. Fine at what?

Son, how would you like to fight a train-hopper

for some money?

I can get you two-to-one odds based purely

on that spectacle you provided in there.

Now I've seen how fast you are.

This fella shouldn't give you much trouble.

Just make sure you hit him in the head.

A lot.

Yeah, watch his left hook.

Fuck.

I better take these off...

No, no, no. Nah, nah, leave 'em.

They look cool.

Oh, and by the way, it has occurred to me

that this whole thing is a little ill-conceived.

I'll take the blame for that.

I must have forgot about that damn hook.

Try not to die, kid.

Man: Get in there!

Come on! Show me something, Princess.

J' ho down, down I

j' ho down, Dee j'

j' red bird dance... I

fuck, man!

Ah!

J' goin' down New Orleans j'

j' red bird dancin' and a red bird sing I

j' red bird sing, red bird do I

I New Orleans and a red bird que... I

J“ I been born and I'm gonna die... j'

Ahem.

I didn't like where that was going.

I didn't like where that went.

I guess I could have handled it differently,

but I had to get you out of there, man.

That hook, man, what a bummer.

Listen, I can get us three-to-one in the next town over.

Mean son of a bitch named Ernie.

But like I said, man, you got speed.

Just hit him in the head a bunch,

you'll do fine.

Something I should tell you, son.

What's that?

You can't win this one.

Not possible.

He's fuckin' fast. Strong too, and big.

- You're gonna get your ass kicked. - Mmm.

Fuckin' bad.

I padded the odds.

Bet on the other guy. I'll cut you in, I promise.

Round one!

Referee: Three, two, one...

Get up, man.

Round two!

Stay down, man.

- Ah! - Hey, man?

You gotta get the fuck out of here.

These assholes will probably cut your head off,

they find out they got hustled.

I got a really bad reputation around here,

so it's probably for the best.

Perhaps I should have told you

that I am completely untrustworthy.

But I guess on some level,

I thought you might have sensed that about me.

Had a nice time with you, though.

Hello?

Rambler: Hey, Susan?

Um, is that really you?

How'd you guess?

You sound just like your brother on the phone.

I guess so.

So how's it going?

Oh, relatively well.

Got your letter.

Your brother's dying for a decent hand.

It's hard to come by these days.

Oh, yeah?

I bet.

Hey, is he around?

He's out back breaking a horse.

This gelding's so mad.

I'm actually interested to see who's going to win this one.

Well, if he's still alive when you next see him,

let him know I'm on my way.

I'll see you soon.

'Kay. Bye, Susan.

What you havin', stranger?

Uh, egg.

You got it.

Not bad, cowboy.

Ain't a cowboy.

You smell like one.

Yeah, you might have a point there.

How's that road treating you?

She's rough.

This was easy.

Don't push your luck.

Whoo!

Rambler: I'm... out of money.

Fuckin' news flash.

I'll pay you back.

Whatever.

I'll pay you back, babe, or something. I will.

Cashier: Sale on Merlot.

Been here for a while.

Hey.

You have yourself a nice day.

Rambler: You know what I don't get? It's how fish gets here.

Girl: I don't know, they fly.

- Brave fish. - I'm braver than that.

Now you're going to have to prove it.

I'll do anything you dare me to do.

I swear.

Okay, then.

Jump in that water.

That's a command, not a dare.

Do I look like a dog to you?

Okay, fine... I dare you to jump in that water.

All right. I will.

Good job.

Now I kinda feel stupid.

Oh, I've felt stupider.

Get in or I'll shoot.

Oh! Ah!

Oh, you got me. Ah!

Ah!

- Whoo! - See, it isn't so bad!

So how long you think you'll survive like this?

What do you mean?

You know, all this traipsing around, whatnot.

Mmm.

I don't know.

I'm still breathing.

Think you'll ever quit?

Not really.

Adventure.

You look like you got something to say.

Kinda hoping you'd stay around for a while.

Oh, Christ, I...

I don't know.

You don't even hardly know me.

That's a little harsh.

Oh?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

So where you headed now?

Noflh.

Up to Oregon.

Mmm.

That's a... that's a uniquely specific answer coming from you.

Yeah.

"Yeah."

You tryin' to hurt me?

What the hell you talkin' about?

I'm talking about you.

Are you so cold that you can't see that a girl's trying here,

or are you just that stupid?

Man, you don't say shit, do you?

You just staring off into the distance half the time.

It's like... it's like what the fuck's going on inside there anyway?

Uh, I don't know what you want me to do here.

You want me to promise you something?

I didn't plan to thumb across the country

to settle in some hill country

back... shit.

Now it sounds like I've worn out my welcome.

Sounds like you're ready for me to go already.

Hell.

Sorry things worked out that way.

Girl: I don't like being treated like a piece of trash

or a crazy person.

If you ain't sticking around, I want to come with you.

Come with you, come with you...

Come with you, come with you, come with you, come with you.

Come with you, come with you...

Come with you, come with you...

Girl's voice: Come with you, come with you...

Come with you, come with you...

Come with you, come with you...

I'm here.

Here... here... here.

- What you having? - Just a beer.

You look a little peaked, stranger.

I got lost in them hills.

Lucky you got out.

Sorry about that.

Thank you so much for coming out tonight.

This is my... my first number

and I hope you enjoy it.

I it ain't the best place to be I

I but the highway has accepted me I

j“ twisting 'round them mountain ways I

j' or driving on for endless days I

j' freely we can ride the wind I

j' or wonder on what could have been I

I but I would rather run I

j' catch the tail end of the sun... I

Come with you, come with you...

Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere...

That man is dangerous.

That man, that man...

You see that man over there?

You see that man over there?

Dangerous, dangerous...

Good night, mother.

Man on recording: Whoopee!

Woman's voice: I'll put you outside in the rain.

I'm gonna put you outside in the rain.

I'll put you outside...

I'm gonna put you outside in the rain...

You could die out here.

I don't care.

Need a lift?

I don't care.

Oh-hh...

Yeah.

Oh!

Where to now, friend?

Uh, west... a day's drive.

Then my place for the night.

Gotta pick up supplies.

Whatever, man.

My daughter should be there.

I didn't know you were a father.

She's, uh, she's very sick

and newly deformed.

I wish I hadn't left her so long.

I get nervous driving at night.

Eyes aren't what they used to be.

I guess that's what happens.

You got a driver's license?

You should get one.

They're very useful.

Make yourself at home, stranger.

Shoo!

Ah, there! I said I was sorry.

Man: You happy now? Huh? You happy?!

You never play that guitar.

I don't have a song.

Still keeping it all in.

All that mystery does make a girl wonder.

You take me for granted, but I do love you.

Something wrong, sugar?

I didn't expect to see you.

Guess I should have.

Sorry if I startled you.

Just couldn't stay away from you.

We belong together.

We belong together.

Come with you, come with you, come with you, come with you...

I might go back outside, I guess.

No.

I told you I was gonna come with you.

Wait here.

Hmm.

Ah.

Here.

You ever seen "Frankenstein"?

I love that fuckin' movie.

You should see it.

Okay.

It's about this scientist, creates a monster.

Names it after himself, I think.

Then the monster gets loose

and really out of control.

Ends up fucking shit up pretty bad.

Like, really bad.

It seems like... It's like an accident.

Little bit of a gray area, I suppose.

He ends up killing this little girl.

Then a bunch of people burn him up

in a castle or something.

It's really good.

I think I still feel bad for that monster...

In a way, you know?

I just didn't like what they did to him.

Still working out my feelings on it, I guess.

You look like hell, you old son of a gun.

How'd the road treat you?

She's cursed.

Still remember how to use one of these things?

I think it'll come back to me.

I guess we'll see, brother.

Girl: Lord bless this food and the hands that prepared it.

We thank you for this food

and ask you to please bless it

so it can give us the strength we need. Amen.

Susan, brother: Amen.

- Susan: Good, Jesse. - Boy: Why did you both say it?

I think somebody wants to see their uncle.

See you in the morning, brother.

Right.

Rambler's voice: "Dearest brother,

I am sorry to say that I will be leaving you

and will be long gone by the time you read this.

I do appreciate your taking me in

and it was damn nice to see you.

But in my travels, I have found my only true home is the highway.

I wish you the best

and take care of that family of yours.

Sincerely..."

Where to, old friend?

So, uh, I watched "Frankenstein" again

following our conversation.

It's like I see something new every time.

It keeps getting better.

I would have made it in color, though,

so's everyone could see what the monster really looked like.

I bet he's, like, blue or something.

So, uh...

How does a fellow like you get by out here?

I gamble.

Well, every man needs a trade.

This your trade? Driving around and shit?

Well, it's a lot more than that.

You know?

Bet it is.

I used to be a paramedic, you know.

Had to quit.

Why's that?

I guess you could say

I'm prone to an unusual addiction.

What's that?

I like injured women.

A lot.

The worse, the better.

The bigger mess, the more the blood,

the closer to death, I just fuckin' love it.

Doesn't even matter what they look like either.

I'm more attracted to the most fucked-up ones.

You sure open up quick.

Obsession got to be a problem on the job,

so I had to change careers.

Oh, yeah? Someone find out?

Everyone.

I can save her.

What the hell, man?

Ain't she perfect?

She's an angel.

Heads up.

She's gonna make it. She's gonna make it.

She's gonna make it. She's gonna make it...

Yep.

You're gonna be okay, sweetie.

Rambler: Where are we?

My brother's joint.

He's in Norway or something.

- Shit. - Cabbie: Be careful with that.

Will you please Bury that?

Couldn't save it?

Nope, it's ruined. She's lost a lot of blood.

No kidding.

Don't know whether she'll live.

You can handle that, right?

Here's to you, brother.

She fuckin' croaked, man.

It's happened before.

Fuck you, man!

Holy shit. She's back!

A real live Frankenstein!

In color!

I'm dead.
