00:00:55 Somebody,
00:00:59 once said that every man's life
00:01:03 It's only the details
00:01:06 that distinguishes him
00:01:12 ...super waterbed blowout.
00:01:37 For most people nowadays,
00:01:38 the American dream
00:01:42 For my friend, Ray Tuckby,
00:02:06 Trona, California, had to be about
00:02:12 like being on the moon
00:02:16 and it could get hot as hell...
00:02:20 in the summer,
00:02:32 At one time,
00:02:38 That promise
00:02:41 along with the movie theater,
00:02:44 and the swimming hole.
00:02:49 But it was still
00:03:01 Now, home for most people
00:03:04 For Ray, it was anything but that.
00:03:07 In fact, it was just the opposite.
00:03:10 Sixty for a sack.
00:03:13 All right.
00:03:14 What's it gonna cost?
00:03:17 Hold on a second there, Ray.
00:03:22 All right.
00:03:26 Afternoon there, Dirk.
00:03:28 You're late on the rent, Ray.
00:03:30 Really?
00:03:31 Damn, Dirk.
00:03:33 I'll fly a check on over to you
00:03:35 Don't make a habit out of it.
00:03:38 You know I got a short temper.
00:03:45 It was pretty much the same routine
00:03:50 punch in at 9:00, out at 5:00.
00:03:54 By 5:30, he'd arrive
00:04:00 and every day, the welcome wagon
00:04:06 You! Ray!
00:04:09 Oh, howdy, Selma.
00:04:10 You might want to think about
00:04:13 Goddamn turtle
00:04:22 Sure thing, Selma.
00:04:25 You think you're such a big shot,
00:04:28 Doubt it.
00:04:35 Ignore that old hag.
00:04:39 Want a swig?
00:04:41 Nah. Thanks, Den.
00:04:42 Ray, how's Stevie there doin'?
00:04:47 He's good.
00:04:48 Yo, Steve-o!
00:04:51 Me and you, buddy.
00:04:53 Take care now.
00:04:55 Always do, Ray.
00:04:58 Always do.
00:05:05 Hi, Charlene.
00:05:07 Hello, Ray.
00:05:08 How was your day?
00:05:09 Just fine.
00:05:14 Any thoughts on dinner?
00:05:17 I didn't know what you'd want.
00:05:20 Oh well, then.
00:05:22 How 'bout I head on over
00:05:24 What an inspired notion.
00:05:30 Any ideas?
00:05:33 Pizza.
00:05:35 Pizza's fine, Ray.
00:05:38 Want to come with?
00:05:45 Might be nice for you
00:05:49 Let's just say
00:05:52 had some issues,
00:05:54 which meant he handled
00:05:57 like the daily trips
00:06:02 The Rite-Valu didn't have much,
00:06:06 Nora McCalley.
00:06:18 Hey, Nora.
00:06:19 Oh, hey, Ray.
00:06:21 That delivery of
00:06:23 Supposed to have gotten them today,
00:06:25 but Cliff's engine blew up
00:06:28 Guess I'll go for
00:06:31 That's heat-and-serve, ain't it?
00:06:32 Sure is.
00:06:34 Right.
00:06:41 You notice that Chevron station
00:06:44 It's a pretty sight.
00:06:45 About the prettiest thing
00:06:47 - They puttin' in a mini-mart?
00:06:50 If that doesn't do in this place,
00:06:52 Well...
00:06:53 I'm sure they're not gonna have
00:06:56 Or, for that matter, you.
00:07:00 Oh, that'll be $4.10.
00:07:03 Five.
00:07:05 Keep the change.
00:07:08 Now, Ray,
00:07:10 It's my pleasure, Nora.
00:07:12 If you're not the most
00:07:18 Well, guess I'll be seeing
00:07:23 I'll be here.
00:07:33 How many cars
00:07:35 146.
00:07:38 Quite a lot, isn't it?
00:07:39 Heavier than normal.
00:07:41 And how was your day?
00:07:43 I found a half-off coupon
00:07:46 with no expiration date.
00:07:49 Isn't that something?
00:07:51 I guess it is, yeah.
00:07:52 What about you, son?
00:07:54 I busted some windows
00:07:58 I want to burn down
00:08:01 that that dead guy croaked in.
00:08:03 Now, son,
00:08:05 You got to work on your anger.
00:08:07 I wouldn't have any
00:08:10 We'll see, son.
00:08:11 All you say is "Soon, son. "
00:08:13 Do I look like
00:08:18 I'll get it.
00:08:25 Hello?
00:08:27 No, this is his son Edward.
00:08:33 Okay.
00:08:38 Who was that, dear?
00:08:40 Aunt Penny.
00:08:48 What did she want?
00:08:51 Grandma's in the hospital,
00:09:00 I wasn't really listening.
00:09:05 This looks like a fun one, Ma.
00:09:09 "Thinly slice one end
00:09:14 "Stuff a cooked sausage
00:09:16 "Place the Twinkies
00:09:19 "and bake for 10 minutes
00:09:22 Serve warm with syrup. "
00:09:25 Penny?
00:09:26 Hey, Ray.
00:09:28 Oh, hey, Eddie.
00:09:29 I came as soon as I heard.

00:10:22 Pretty darn good.
00:10:24 Introduced a new flavor
00:10:27 Champagne Silk.
00:10:29 It goes down real easy.
00:10:32 Sounds great.
00:10:33 Sauerkraut is, without question,
00:10:37 Daddy!
00:10:40 Hi, everyone.
00:10:42 - Hey, Joanne.
00:10:45 Mark, can I have
00:10:48 Joanne, get back in the car.
00:10:51 Your kids need you.
00:10:52 You are coming home this instant!
00:10:54 Would you shut them up, please?
00:10:57 Tommy, no!
00:10:59 Those kids have got germs!
00:11:07 As we all know, family gatherings
00:11:12 but everything in Trona was taxing...
00:11:17 Dirk and his posse,
00:11:20 had a hold on most things in town...
00:11:24 but lately, it seemed that hold
00:11:26 was getting closer
00:11:33 Afternoon, Spoonie.
00:11:34 Toll road.
00:11:36 How's that?
00:11:37 Five bucks to pass.
00:11:40 You're joshin', right?
00:11:41 Do I look like I'm joshin' you, retard?
00:11:43 Five bones or I beat the crap
00:12:00 Don't hurt my boy, you hear?
00:12:02 He never did anything to you.
00:12:06 Good call, Ray-gay.
00:12:07 I might kick his ass
00:12:23 Dirk! Hey, Dirk!
00:12:25 Why you keep hounding me, woman?
00:12:27 I'm working on my bike.
00:12:29 All you guys shut your mouths
00:12:31 Kid's a modern-day
00:12:53 You ever notice
00:12:58 He ain't as good-looking
00:13:01 He's got the devil in him, Ed.
00:13:03 Who cares when you're
00:13:06 Who wants dessert?
00:13:08 Dessert?
00:13:11 Oh, I don't think
00:13:13 I was just interested
00:13:16 interested.
00:13:21 I'll have a look anyway.
00:13:29 Hey, Dad, could we
00:13:33 Son, I don't like that kind of talk.
00:13:36 You keep saying you're going
00:13:39 You're just a bullshit artist.
00:13:41 Who's an artist?
00:13:44 Guess what I found in the freezer?
00:13:51 What do you say
00:13:55 Gee, thanks, Ma.
00:14:13 Now, Betsy's wasn't exactly
00:14:15 where Ray had hoped Eddie
00:14:18 but Ray still owed his son
00:14:22 and decided it was probably
00:14:25 Evening, ladies.
00:14:27 What can we do for you, sugar?
00:14:29 This here's my son Ed.
00:14:30 Need to get his cherry popped.
00:14:34 I don't want that on my head.
00:14:35 But he's a good, clean kid, honest.
00:14:38 $50 for the full treatment,
00:14:45 Can't I have 'em both?
00:14:46 Let's not get ahead
00:14:49 Can you do $35?
00:14:51 Yeah, okay.

00:14:56 Give me a ten-minute head start.

00:15:03 Don't worry about me, blood.
00:15:06 Just lay back and enjoy the ride.
00:15:09 Shit, I might have to watch this.
00:15:12 Appreciate it, ma'am.
00:15:15 Any time you wanna come back...
00:15:45 Well, this is a big day for you, son.

00:16:09 Well... that'll do ya.
00:16:13 Sounds to me like
00:16:16 It's about time.
00:16:18 Most of the guys in school
00:16:22 Ed, we all march to the sound
00:16:25 Don't ever forget that.
00:16:29 Okay, then.
00:16:34 Here's the cash

00:27:39 My welfares check's late.
00:27:40 You gotta pay the man, Den.
00:27:42 It affects the whole block
00:27:45 You know how he is that way.
00:27:47 That punk... he deserves

00:27:53 It's hotter than hell in there!
00:28:16 Okay, good to go.
00:28:20 You can do it, Char.
00:28:22 "One small step for man" type deal.
00:28:26 No, I can't.

00:28:38 You look so pretty in the sunshine.

00:28:41 You did it all by yourself.
00:28:43 We did it.
00:28:55 Funny thing about change...
00:28:58 it's kinda like pullin' off a bandage.
00:29:02 Hurts like hell when you do it,
00:29:26 Yo, Ray.
00:29:29 Was that Eddie I seen... headin' off
00:29:34 That'd be him.
00:29:36 Who was that woman with him?
00:29:39 Charlene.
00:29:40 Serious?
00:29:42 Lord, I can't remember
00:29:46 She don't get out much.

00:29:52 You all right, Ray?
00:29:57 You know if you ever
00:29:59 you got a friend right here.
00:30:02 Just like that night in '89.
00:30:05 Who made that key block,
00:30:06 time runnin' out,
00:30:08 You did, Den.
00:30:10 A thing of beauty that was.
00:30:12 Me and you, Ray.
00:30:15 We won that game together, we did.
00:30:20 Pay your rent, Den.
00:30:22 Yeah. I know.
00:30:28 That's good, now stabilize it
00:30:31 Okay. Yeah, now... now...
00:30:34 I've never met a guy
00:30:35 who picked up trash
00:30:37 who wasn't in a work program.
00:30:39 Excuse me.
00:30:42 Yeah, I guess it is.
00:30:43 Just wondering if it'd be okay
00:30:46 Oh, yeah, no problem.
00:30:47 But that's what I found
00:30:51 At least he was tryin'.
00:30:52 You got it, boss.
00:30:54 I don't know.
00:30:56 Everybody in town
00:30:58 Yeah? You live around here?
00:31:00 Yep, just around the bend.
00:31:03 Is there any traffic at all?
00:31:05 - Hardly ever.
00:31:06 Except during holidays, sometimes
00:31:11 You own Chevron?
00:31:13 Own it? No.
00:31:14 I'm just an independent operator.
00:31:16 I'm from Bakersfield.
00:31:18 Ray Tuckby.
00:31:20 Welcome to Trona.
00:31:22 Thank you.
00:31:24 I've never seen anything quite like it.
00:31:26 It's just... pretty sorry-ass.
00:31:31 I hope you don't mind, I mean...
00:31:33 nothing grows here.
00:31:34 Well, soil's too poisoned.
00:31:36 Plus, it hasn't rained here
00:31:39 Used to be beautiful,
00:31:41 Mid-'80s, state diverted our water
00:31:45 The lake dried up,
00:31:48 place went to hell.
00:31:50 That's a sad story.
00:31:53 Who's that little fucker
00:31:56 That'd be Dirk
00:31:58 They sort of run things around here.
00:31:59 Kids?
00:32:01 They're responsible
00:32:03 He got his own meth lab.
00:32:05 What about the cops?
00:32:07 Ain't none here.
00:32:08 When the state declared this area
00:32:12 anybody respectable cleared out.
00:32:14 Then they offered
00:32:16 Dirk near bought up the town.
00:32:18 Story's gettin'
00:32:21 Hey, Ray, is there a place
00:32:25 I'm hittin' my morning crash.
00:32:27 Market in town has a coffee pot,
00:32:30 and 'bout the prettiest gal
00:32:33 Oh, yeah? I think that's
00:32:47 - Mornin', Ray.
00:32:48 This here's Merl Stryker,
00:32:51 - Nora McCalley.
00:32:54 How do you do, ma'am.
00:32:56 That's quite a place
00:32:59 Ray was not telling a lie
00:33:05 Well, maybe in contrast
00:33:08 What can I get for you two?
00:33:09 Couple cups of coffee if it's fresh.
00:33:11 Just made a batch.
00:33:16 This place looks
00:33:19 There's not much
00:33:22 We get by basically.
00:33:24 Here you go.
00:33:25 The Cremora's just behind you
00:33:28 Thank you, honeybunch.
00:33:34 Do something with your hair?
00:33:35 Me?
00:33:45 Got any dreams, Ray?
00:33:52 Dreams?
00:33:54 Yeah.
00:33:56 Dreams. A man's got to strive
00:33:59 Otherwise, he doesn't mean
00:34:03 To be honest, I basically just
00:34:06 trying to feel good about myself.
00:34:08 I'm 58 years old.
00:34:11 Mean to tell me you didn't have
00:34:16 Some.
00:34:18 What about what you
00:34:21 how you thought it'd be great
00:34:25 That's a big dream of sorts, isn't it?
00:34:30 I guess.
00:34:34 Maybe have that lake
00:34:38 nice outdoor eatery
00:34:44 a place where people
00:34:46 admire the beauty again.
00:34:50 Now you're talking.
00:34:58 Well, Merl, I gotta get on to work.
00:35:00 Nice to make your acquaintance.
00:35:02 Pleasure was mine.
00:35:04 Thank you for the coffee.
00:35:06 Keep the wheels turning.
00:35:12 There you go.
00:35:18 If you eat a little more food,
00:35:22 Won't that be nice?
00:35:26 Yeah, that's it.
00:35:31 It's good, huh?
00:35:33 Vanilla custard, yes indeed.
00:35:37 Yes, that's my good girl.
00:35:43 I want you out of my house.
00:35:47 What, Ma?
00:35:49 Get that crap away from me,
00:35:52 All you want is that meringue recipe,
00:35:57 You couldn't cook
00:36:01 No wonder you could
00:36:05 You're going to end up a lesbian
00:36:10 Evening, miss.
00:36:13 Hello.
00:36:16 I hate your guts.
00:36:18 I don't care.
00:36:20 I have never asked you
00:36:22 Then don't.
00:36:24 You are gonna cough up
00:36:27 Dream on, you old maid.
00:36:29 Don't push me.
00:36:31 Don't push me.
00:37:06 Ma, I brought your favorite.
00:37:10 Ma?
00:37:13 Penny?
00:37:18 For today we are mourning the loss
00:37:26 Penny Varrow,
00:37:30 who led an independent life,
00:37:33 most recently running a crisis center
00:37:39 and Ruth Tuckby,
00:37:40 devoted mother, wife,
00:37:46 who strove to make
00:37:51 They were both good women
00:37:54 who celebrated their differences
00:38:01 Well, ultimately celebrated them
00:38:13 Mark. Mark!
00:38:22 Mark!
00:38:23 Shut up.
00:38:24 - Mark.
00:38:26 Hey, Clem.
00:38:28 I'm... I'm sorry for your loss.
00:38:32 I know this is not the best time
00:38:36 That's okay.
00:38:37 The bulk of the estate goes
00:38:40 The house, as you may know,
00:38:42 was pretty heavily leveraged
00:38:44 plus she didn't have much
00:38:49 Right.
00:38:50 Son, this here's your share.
00:38:56 Thanks for all your help, Clem.
00:38:58 Sorry.
00:39:00 Oh, I forgot to give you this.
00:39:02 Your mama wanted you to have it.
00:39:06 Well, if there's
00:39:08 I'll be in Ridgecrest,
00:39:39 Eddie? You got a minute?
00:39:42 Not today, Ray.
00:39:46 I need to speak to you, son.
00:39:48 R'ch'lle, excuse us.
00:39:50 Here you go.
00:39:55 What is it?
00:39:57 I got something for you.
00:39:59 Like what?
00:40:01 You should have this.
00:40:02 Your grandma
00:40:05 Go on, take it.
00:40:11 Eleven hundred bucks?
00:40:13 For college.
00:40:14 College?
00:40:18 What the hell's
00:40:20 I got better things to do
00:40:23 than get some stupid education.
00:40:26 Me and R'ch'lle
00:40:31 I just wanted to say that...
00:40:34 even though we both know
00:40:39 I still love you, son.
00:40:42 Hey, let's get a move on.
00:40:48 Dirk offered me a gig.
00:40:50 I'm finally gonna make
00:40:52 That's a dead end, Ed.
00:40:54 Not to me, it ain't.
00:40:55 Ed, this train is leaving the station.
00:40:59 Ed...
00:41:02 I'll see you around.
00:41:05 If you need anything, son,
00:41:07 Yeah. All right.
00:41:35 Dirk's boys held up
00:41:37 All we got left
00:41:40 But... we're out of chicken.
00:41:44 These'll do me.
00:41:46 I was going to eat light
00:41:53 Pork rinds and a large bag
00:41:59 Anything to drink with that?
00:42:00 Nah. Plenty of water in the tap,
00:42:06 I bet you could use
00:42:09 Yeah, well...
00:42:17 Sorry about you and Charlene...
00:42:20 and your mom...
00:42:23 and Penny.
00:42:25 Trying to look at it
00:42:28 May take me awhile to get there.
00:42:31 Anyway, thanks
00:42:33 Saw you sitting in back.
00:42:35 Oh, my pleasure, Ray.
00:42:38 So, what are you doing later?
00:42:41 Later, like... tonight later?
00:42:43 Yeah, for a start.
00:42:46 Well, I'll probably just go home
00:42:48 and sort through all
00:42:53 You?
00:42:54 I'd really like to go
00:42:58 - It's been awhile.
00:42:59 Maybe get a bite after at that
00:43:03 Oh, yeah. I drove by it
00:43:05 Might be worth checking out.
00:43:14 Well... see you soon, Nora.
00:43:17 Hope so, Ray.
00:44:55 Nora.
00:44:58 You wanna go on a date...
00:45:00 with me?
00:45:01 Been waiting 18 years
00:46:50 Where'd you get
00:46:53 Got up bright and early this morning,
00:46:56 Cook it yourself?
00:46:58 That's about the sweetest thing
00:47:02 I mean, that is,
00:47:04 I did.
00:47:07 Ray, how come you never got
00:47:11 Me? I don't know.
00:47:14 I know you got that offer
00:47:17 work for that friend of your dad's.
00:47:20 Didn't suit me, I guess.
00:47:25 This is my home.
00:47:27 I used to love it here.
00:47:30 Summers felt endless.
00:47:33 Swimming, fishing,
00:47:34 just being able to breath
00:47:38 I hold on to those memories,
00:47:42 Like that one in second grade
00:47:44 when Mrs. Kinney took us
00:47:47 and I got a baked bean
00:47:49 You remember that?
00:47:51 I wouldn't stop crying.
00:47:53 You came right over,
00:47:56 You picked me up
00:47:57 all the way back to the bus.
00:48:00 I thought it was so romantic...
00:48:03 except maybe that part
00:48:05 on trying to fish the thing out
00:48:07 with one of your dad's
00:48:09 Doctor said you nearly
00:48:12 Yeah, I managed to block
00:48:14 Oh, you did?
00:48:19 I thought it was sweet.
00:48:20 How concerned you were about me,
00:48:23 Yeah, well...
00:48:28 What about you?
00:48:30 Didn't you ever think
00:48:32 From time to time.
00:48:34 How come you never did, then?
00:48:36 That cheerleading scholarship to UOP
00:48:38 sure was a big deal
00:48:41 A girl has her reasons.
00:49:04 I had a wonderful afternoon, Ray.
00:49:05 Me, too, Nora.
00:49:08 Now, I want you to keep
00:49:10 I made extra
00:49:12 You sure?
00:49:13 You can't eat packaged food
00:49:16 That stuff'll kill you.
00:49:18 Getting a real home-cooked meal
00:49:28 Listen, I know how you must be
00:49:40 You always had
00:49:47 Well, I've got to get back to my shift,
00:49:51 Okay.
00:50:59 Where's my mom and dad?
00:51:13 Yeah?
00:51:14 Dirk here?
00:51:15 Saw him around awhile ago.
00:51:18 Dirk?
00:51:20 Dirk!
00:51:23 Oh, I forgot.
00:51:26 but you ain't supposed
00:51:33 Adjust that... adjust that choke.
00:51:35 Hand me that wrench.
00:51:43 Boy, all these leaky drums sure look
00:51:47 What are you doing here?
00:51:49 Well, I wanna talk
00:51:53 I'd like it if you didn't drag him
00:51:55 He ain't even yours, old man.
00:51:57 I'm just saying you
00:51:59 all the guys you got.
00:52:03 Do me this favor, Dirk.
00:52:06 - Favor?
00:52:08 I ought to kick your ass right now.
00:52:10 I don't want trouble, Dirk.
00:52:12 I'm just saying it'd be
00:52:14 letting him have
00:52:17 He's a real good kid.
00:52:18 I know. That's why
00:52:21 No, but see...
00:52:24 Only thing I see is
00:52:28 You tell your neighbors
00:52:32 Get the fuck off my property.
00:52:34 Bitch.
00:52:57 You pay the rent yet, Den?
00:52:59 Oh, not real... really.
00:53:01 We've been through this.
00:53:02 You're letting everybody down
00:53:06 Ray, I know that.
00:53:07 Denny, you better do something
00:53:10 I'm bustin' a gasket in here.
00:53:14 I don't want him getting into drugs.
00:53:18 I don't care if I'm not...
00:53:21 Then you tell his real father
00:53:24 and give the boy some guidance.
00:53:27 Charlene?
00:53:54 Here's your rent.
00:53:57 So you walk that over to Dirk's
00:53:58 and you tell him to turn
00:54:01 Roger that, Ray.
00:54:03 I'll make good.
00:54:04 Soon, Den.
00:54:07 Get Selma to quit smoking the ice
00:54:10 We clear?
00:54:11 Oh, we're clear as day.
00:54:15 Well, I'm gonna have to
00:54:18 Then I'll get on it.
00:54:23 Twirling action, like this here.
00:54:25 That's right.
00:54:26 See? Yeah? Help yourself.
00:54:29 Next time bring your cars.
00:54:31 You got 'em all?
00:54:32 I got as many Huggies
00:54:35 I'm gonna sell this shit on eBay.
00:54:37 The free washer fluid
00:54:40 Look, Nora, you just
00:54:43 Kind of feels
00:54:46 Hey, you guys.
00:54:47 - Hey, Stryker.
00:54:49 This place is just gorgeous.
00:54:51 Thank you.
00:54:54 All I ask is every once in a while
00:54:58 - Sure.
00:54:59 And Ray, how's
00:55:03 A little at a time.
00:55:04 A little at a time,
00:55:08 - Have fun.
00:55:14 You might like to know Eddie's
00:55:18 You oughta be proud.
00:55:20 So, are you all of a sudden
00:55:22 for anybody
00:55:24 It's getting awful hot, Dirk.
00:55:27 Some folks are having
00:55:29 Maybe you ought
00:55:31 It is my business.
00:55:33 Shut off the power,
00:55:37 Acting like a tough guy
00:55:41 Since you're such a rich man,
00:55:44 Maybe I should buy a genny
00:55:46 You ain't allowed to do that.
00:55:48 Is that a fact?
00:55:52 I'm gonna lay this out for you
00:55:56 The way things work around here
00:56:00 and that goes for you double.
00:56:01 Now, you don't like it,
00:56:07 Hey, it's mine!
00:56:13 Better hear what I say, Ray.
00:56:15 Hey, knock it off, all of you,
00:56:18 Give me that!
00:56:19 Sorry, Dirk.
00:56:20 Fighting over a bottle of antifreeze?
00:56:24 It smells great.
00:56:25 Hope I didn't overcook it.
00:56:41 Okay.
00:56:45 The moment of truth.
00:56:57 Can I make a toast?
00:56:59 Sure.
00:57:03 To the only dinner party
00:57:06 and to you, Nora,
00:57:09 That was beautiful, Ray.
00:57:11 Thank you.
00:57:24 You sit in the chair there,
00:57:32 Sorry all the proper furniture's gone.
00:57:34 Yeah, it'd be nice
00:57:36 if there was a place
00:57:38 Yeah.
00:57:56 Whoa, nearly 8:45.

00:58:02 Actually, tomorrow's my day off.
00:58:06 Is that a fact?
00:58:12 Seem warm in here?
00:58:16 I think it's fine, Ray.
00:58:18 It's fine.
00:58:23 What's that light?
00:58:25 There, out front.
00:58:39 Oh, Ray.
00:58:44 Things are gonna have
00:58:47 And he wasn't kidding.
00:58:49 Everyone was gettin' fed up
00:58:50 with the whole deal in this town,
00:58:53 Where am I dropping you, Ray?
00:58:54 Got to get in to work.
00:58:57 Insurance guy said he'd drop
00:59:00 What kind of car you think
00:59:04 More than my Gremlin.
00:59:08 Elmo, pull over a sec.
00:59:30 - Merl?
00:59:38 Son of a bitch.
00:59:45 Be right there.
00:59:47 I'll get you.
00:59:51 That punk Dirk.
00:59:53 I got him good, though.
00:59:55 I think I might've broken his nose.
00:59:57 His... jerks...
01:00:00 they just held me down,
01:00:03 We gotta get you
01:00:05 No, just take me home.
01:00:24 Quite a place you got here, Merl.
01:00:26 Thank you, Ray.
01:00:28 - Oh, honey.
01:00:30 There she is, my darling.
01:00:31 What happened to you?
01:00:34 Bunch of thugs beat up
01:00:37 Her pop?
01:00:39 This is my old lady, son.
01:00:40 I told you about
01:00:43 - Come on.
01:00:45 Honey, I need a hot bath.
01:00:49 Oh, yeah, honey, come on.
01:00:53 My goodness.
01:00:55 Damn.
01:01:08 Evening, gentlemen.
01:01:10 Hi, Nora.
01:01:12 Hey.
01:01:14 Barely runs.
01:01:18 Sorry to barge in on you,
01:01:20 Sure. That's nice.
01:01:23 Thrift store in Ridgecrest.
01:01:25 Let me go lock up.
01:01:26 No. It's for you, Ray.
01:01:31 You got this for me?
01:01:34 How come?
01:01:36 Just thought it'd be nice for you
01:01:39 so you can have company,
01:01:43 - Yeah?
01:01:47 Think you could give
01:01:49 Got a couple of long necks
01:01:52 You got yourself a deal.
01:01:53 Heavy little thing.
01:01:57 Dang if that don't look just great.
01:02:00 Man, that was quite a workout.
01:02:03 I sure am thirsty.
01:02:05 Oh, right.
01:02:10 Damn.
01:02:12 This place is
01:02:18 You know, I was thinking
01:02:20 maybe me and you could
01:02:26 reminisce.
01:02:28 About what?
01:02:30 Here you go, Den.
01:02:32 Oh, bitchin'.
01:02:34 See you guys later.
01:02:37 He's a character, that boy.
01:02:39 He's harmless enough.
01:02:41 His wife's another kettle of fish.
01:02:43 - Was she in our class?
01:02:45 Think she got thrown out for beating up
01:02:50 Take it for a test drive.
01:03:00 Well, what do you think?
01:03:01 Feels good.
01:03:02 Mmm, yeah.
01:03:08 You're awful sweet, aren't you?
01:03:11 Well, you tell me.
01:03:13 Well, I think you are, yeah.
01:03:16 Real sweet.
01:03:24 Well, I didn't mean
01:03:27 so you just enjoy
01:03:30 and maybe sometime
01:03:33 I don't think I'll let anyone else
01:03:38 What's so funny?
01:03:41 Now, why are you looking
01:03:43 - Like what?
01:03:46 Like I got something in my teeth.
01:03:50 Is that really
01:03:53 Well, not exactly, I guess...
01:03:57 but you sure look at me different
01:03:59 Oh, now...
01:04:01 What's that about?
01:04:04 Well, maybe I'm just enjoying
01:04:05 being able to sit with you face to face
01:04:10 How, until recently,
01:04:12 more than five or ten minutes
01:04:16 but how that was enough for me.
01:04:25 Well, as you like say,
01:04:27 I ain't saying it now.
01:04:30 Yeah, well, maybe I am.
01:04:38 Hey, Nora, let's get loaded.
01:04:58 ...in front of my house.
01:05:01 Get the fuck away
01:05:03 Seriously.
01:05:04 All right.
01:05:58 Hurry up. Hurry up, man.
01:06:11 Take it.
01:07:05 Spoonie, you keep a lookout.
01:07:12 Goddamn it, what did I tell you
01:07:16 What are you, six?
01:07:17 Sorry, Dirk.
01:07:18 It's fucking gross.
01:07:22 Which one of you inbreds
01:07:26 Where's the lock?
01:07:28 - For what?
01:07:32 - I ain't no idiot.
01:07:35 You're an idiot.
01:07:36 - What?
01:07:59 Denny, hey, dumbass!
01:08:03 - Denny!
01:08:07 Hey, Ray?
01:08:10 So's the water.
01:08:12 Ray, I'm current on the rent.
01:08:13 I swear everybody
01:08:17 Did you take out
01:08:19 I think it's a plug-in.
01:08:21 Plug it in to fucking what?
01:08:24 Hello. I'm sweating
01:08:29 Yeah, I was right in the middle
01:08:32 Well, there's nothing
01:08:35 How abouts we just don't
01:08:38 - He'll have to do what we says.
01:08:40 - Where you gonna move, Den?
01:08:44 Then what are we supposed to do?
01:08:48 You all just cope a little while,
01:08:50 and we'll get squared soon,
01:09:08 Fucking...
01:09:11 Bitch!
01:09:14 Go to town and get the Huggies.
01:09:16 Bitch, what do you think I'm doing?
01:09:17 - I'm a responsible-ass father.
01:09:20 I know what the hell
01:09:22 Get the Huggies!
01:09:23 Just mind your own babies,
01:09:53 What?
01:09:54 You wanna work off
01:09:58 Like a... a job?
01:09:59 Take this list, go in to Ridgecrest
01:10:03 Well, Ray, I'm sort of busy today.
01:10:06 Too bad.
01:10:08 Be at my house, 11:00.
01:10:10 And tell Selma to bring her A game.
01:10:18 Scotty. Scotty.
01:10:22 Got a little assignment for you.
01:10:28 Don't you think "Happy Days"
01:10:32 It is awfully good.
01:10:34 There's no denying it.
01:10:39 We really do have quite a lot
01:10:43 I do, Ray.
01:10:52 Special Ops to the rescue.
01:10:58 Now, Ray, this may be a little short,
01:11:08 Den, there's just no way.
01:11:11 - No?
01:11:13 Just a thought.
01:11:20 Well, it's not
01:11:23 Door's open.
01:11:26 Hey, kids.
01:11:28 Thanks for showing, Merl.
01:11:29 I wouldn't miss this for the world.
01:11:31 I can't wait to chew that jerk
01:11:34 Howdy, folks.
01:11:36 - Right on time.
01:11:39 I don't think I've been on time
01:11:45 Who invited
01:11:47 Scotty, you forget to change?
01:11:51 Never mind.
01:11:56 Hey, everybody.
01:11:57 Heard you folks need
01:12:01 Coming up on 2300 hours.
01:12:06 - You bet.
01:12:08 All right, then.
01:12:10 Right.
01:12:12 Okay, let's go.
01:12:15 What has gotten into you,
01:12:18 Life, Nora.
01:12:28 I mean, can you just imagine
01:12:30 over the Earth in the Jurassic age?
01:12:33 Here we go.
01:12:37 Let's go over here.
01:12:41 Twenty bucks says it won't go off.
01:12:45 Make it 30, and it's a deal.
01:12:54 I'll have to owe you the extra ten.
01:12:59 Okay, I guess.
01:13:05 What the heck?
01:13:06 Didn't Dirk say nobody
01:13:17 Excuse me.
01:13:19 I'm lost, and I cannot find my way.
01:13:23 Where you trying to get to?
01:13:25 Bakersfield.
01:13:28 Highway is just down yonder.
01:13:31 How can I ever repay you?
01:13:55 Hey, what are you doing here?
01:14:02 Coming!
01:14:05 Yeah?
01:14:08 Hey there! Excuse me.
01:14:12 What the hell you doing?
01:14:26 Never did appreciate that breed.
01:14:44 That's quite a talent
01:14:48 She do parties as well?
01:14:51 Knock it off, you perv.
01:14:53 - Is he dead?
01:14:55 There's a dead guy.
01:14:56 Shut up!
01:14:58 Boy, am I glad Denny shoots blanks.
01:15:02 Okay, let's go.
01:15:03 I'll hand him up to you.
01:15:05 Just so you know,
01:15:11 Good job, Den.
01:15:17 Come on.
01:15:30 Remember, Selma, be gentle.
01:15:33 Go on.
01:15:37 Yuck.
01:15:42 So what's it gonna be, tough guy?
01:15:44 Join the resistance
01:15:52 That's our cue.
01:15:54 Just another minute.
01:15:56 Well, here goes.
01:15:57 Gonna make ourselves
01:16:01 What's wrong?
01:16:03 I was just kinda hoping
01:16:07 I really like blowin' shit up.
01:16:09 All right, but
01:16:12 Tits!
01:16:18 Get the truck
01:16:21 For real, Dirk?
01:16:22 Deal with it, goddamn it!
01:16:24 This is for calling me an idiot
01:16:34 Go get a potato sack and some twine.
01:16:36 I'll go get the truck.
01:16:42 What the... hey!
01:16:46 That's for giving me
01:16:49 It can go boy, it can go girl.
01:16:50 Scotty, you do whatever
01:16:53 It's not just for a girly girl
01:16:56 Do it again.
01:17:11 Oh, my Lord.
01:17:13 I think I fudged my pants.
01:17:22 Oh, those babies.
01:17:23 I just want to eat them up,
01:17:33 There it is.
01:17:38 Shit, man, that was fun.
01:17:43 My God, we've done good, Ray.
01:17:46 Just like that game we won
01:17:49 when I made that key block
01:17:54 You remember, right, Ray?
01:17:56 My key block?
01:17:59 Turned out the little twerp
01:18:03 Just a bit of guts
01:18:06 Dirk and company went over faster
01:18:16 Let us down!
01:18:25 Good job, guys.
01:18:26 Pleasure's right here, Ray.
01:18:29 Get this thing off of me.
01:18:33 That hurts, goddamn it.
01:18:37 Let's get the record straight, punk.
01:18:39 You're going to apologize right now
01:18:41 for making life a dark, ugly experience
01:18:44 or Scotty's going to teach you
01:18:46 We clear?
01:18:48 Eat me.
01:18:50 Got another surprise for you.
01:18:52 Merl?
01:18:55 Sasquatch Two,
01:18:58 We're ready
01:19:00 Roger that, Sasquatch One.
01:19:01 You and your cohorts
01:19:05 Gentlemen.
01:19:06 No fucking way.
01:19:08 Well, we don't see it that way.
01:19:13 Take care now.
01:19:14 Somebody help me.
01:19:17 Candy, Tammy, Wanda, Jeanine?
01:19:20 I made this town.
01:19:24 You all have roofs over your head
01:19:26 all of your ugly-ass heads.
01:19:28 Oh, no.
01:19:31 He's going to prison,
01:19:34 He's off.
01:19:37 Hey, hold on, hold on.
01:19:39 Can I just say a few more things?
01:19:42 What if I, like, turn over
01:19:45 or whatever that is,
01:19:47 Sorry, Spoon.
01:19:48 You go clean up and come back,
01:19:51 All right, deal.
01:20:13 Ray, you know, my wife is
01:20:16 I was thinking maybe
01:20:18 You're gonna have
01:20:22 God, I hate to piss that woman off.
01:20:30 Right on schedule.
01:20:34 Those girls over there.
01:20:36 Well, Ray...
01:20:37 I'll see you around.
01:20:55 Well, what now, Ray?
01:20:58 I guess that's up to us.
01:21:07 You know how they say
01:21:08 "The more things change,
01:21:16 Well...
01:21:43 Can you believe this?
01:22:03 Sounds nice.
01:22:09 Nora...
01:22:13 Remember awhile back,
01:22:16 Yes, I do.
01:22:19 Well, it was 'cause of you.
01:22:24 This place is hell, Nora,
01:22:26 but knowing I'd get to come through
01:22:29 and see your sweet face
01:22:33 Ditto.
01:22:44 What the hey was that?
01:22:48 It's called a French kiss.
01:22:50 A what?
01:22:52 It's a little more intimate
01:22:55 I read about it recently
01:22:59 over in the miscellaneous section,
01:23:01 It sure was different.
01:23:04 Kind of like a toothbrush...
01:23:06 but I liked it.
01:23:08 You can try it if you want to.
01:23:10 Okay.
01:23:13 You sure?
01:23:14 Whatever you're comfortable with.
01:23:26 I think I'm getting the hang of it.
01:24:09 There are two types of heroes.
01:24:11 One changes himself,
01:24:14 the other changes
01:24:16 Is that some of your
01:24:18 Recipe's been in my family
01:24:21 Bring on a slice or two.
01:24:22 Coming right up. Den?
01:24:23 Well, I guess in the end,
01:24:27 I'll help you, darling.
01:24:28 Right this way, folks.
01:24:33 R'ch'lle, you're doing a great job.
01:24:38 How's the back holding up, hon?
01:24:40 Just fine, Ray.
01:24:43 Eddie, I think we're gonna need
01:24:47 I'm already on it, Pop.
01:24:50 Hey, where can a man and his missus
01:24:55 - How have you been, friend?
01:24:58 It looks like
01:25:00 - Nora, you look really nice.
01:25:02 - You know Angel?
01:25:03 Well, we were just driving around,
01:25:05 and we thought
01:25:07 what kind of progress
01:25:09 I wanna tell you, Ray,
01:25:13 I am so proud of you.
01:25:15 Well, couldn't have done it
01:25:17 I know that.
01:25:21 How about a table
01:25:23 Oh, by the way,
01:25:25 I heard that meringue is to die for.
01:25:31 Right this way.
01:25:33 Maybe the American dream
01:25:38 even for my friend Ray...
01:25:40 and even in a place like Trona.
