[man speaking indistinctly]
[engine rumbling]
Beside, beside, beside,
beside, beside, beside.
[man] Action!
All right, folks,
here's how we do.
We take a truck,
brand new, heavy duty,
Matterhorn 220 truck, six liter,
V-8 engine, premium package.
We draw contestant's names
out of the lottery
and those lucky guys and gals
stand beside that truck
with one hand on it
at all times.
Last one to take their
hands off, they win that truck.
It's called hands on, it's three
quarter ton of fun, and, y'all,
here's the best part yet,
all throughout that contest,
we got amazing deals on
new and used vehicles
that makes everybody a winner
at Boudreaux's Auto and Truck,
26th and Shanklin. Caw-caw!
Come on down! [exclaims]
I'm a selling machine!
Come on down! Come on down.
Boudreaux's Auto and Truck!
[soft instrumental music]
[engine starts]
[birds chirping]
[baby crying]
[dog barking]
[birds chirping]
[woman] He had a good smile,
was cute. Oh, this one!
This one is the architect.
[woman 2]
That guy's an architect?
[woman] Yeah, this is Norman,
the guy that I went out with.
-I told you.
-[woman 2] Not too shabby.
-He's cute.
-[woman] Hmm, he is cute.
I have to tell you
the story though.
[laughs] So, we go on this date
and we go back to my place
and we're not there but,
what, like, five minutes?
I turn around and boom.
There's Norm with his pants
down and his dick out.
-[woman 2] No!
-[woman] True story.
He really did. [laughing]
I-- I didn't know what--
what do you do?
-[woman 2] Yeah!
-So... [laughing]
-Beats me.
-So I was like, "Oh, Norm.
You're the fast type."
And he says, "I really had
to get up early in the morning,
so, uh, you know,
can we get this thing going?"
-Wow!
-I know.
-I mean we did it, really.
-[woman 2] Let me see this guy.
[woman] Look, it's early bird
Norm catching his worm.
[woman 2] Oh, yeah.
That guy told me the same thing.
-Seriously!
-Oh, hell no!
[woman 2] Seriously, that guy's
a waste of your time.
I know!
[Joan] Hey, hey, why don't
you give me his number?
I can appreciate efficiency.
-[laughing]
-[woman 4] There you go!
Oh, look at that.
I didn't notice
-that cute suit on you.
-Oh, thanks.
Wait, did Pat
bring that one, too?
No, no, I got this
from the outlet over
by the Westside mall.
-You know that place?
-[woman] Oh, yeah.
-Yeah, it was cheap.
-[woman 2] Gotta love it.
Oh, hey, so how's
sweet toots Melissa doing?
-She like Tallahassee?
-Oh yeah, she's doing fine.
Of course. Yeah.
I mean, what can I say?
It's, uh, it's Florida.
Can't complain.
-[woman 2] Yeah.
-Yeah
[woman 2] Damn it, Sam,
could you get that?
Jesus, cut your nails.
Well, thems the breaks,
you know?
You feed 'em, you wipe
their butts and their tears,
then one day,
they're just up and gone.
Good for nothing brats.
Who needs 'em?
[Joan] No, that's not true,
Mel calls me every day.
It seems like we talk even
more since she moved out.
Besides, y'all,
she wants to come home
for Thanksgiving,
maybe even earlier.
[woman 4]
So, what do y'all think?
I just keep telling her--
-[woman 4] Foxy or what?
-Yeah!
-[woman] What the--
-[woman 4] Thank you!
-[woman 2] Oh, yes.
-[woman] It looks so good.
[woman 2]
It does!
[woman] I'm gonna post it.
#deadsexy.
-[Joan] Awesome.
-[woman 4] Thank you, Tyra.
[birds chirping]
[muffled voice]
Caw-caw! Come on down!
I'm a selling machine!
Come on down! Come on down.
Boudreaux's Auto and Truck.
[Lenny] Whoo.
Hands on people, hands on.
It is that time of year again
where we get 20 people
to stand around a truck with
one hand on it for as long
as they can, day and night,
'til the last person standing
with their hand on it,
mind you, wins that truck.
Now, I'm excited to have
this young lady here
join us in the studio today.
This is Joan Riley.
Now, she does PR down
at Boudreaux's.
She also has been organized
in this contest for--
-Is this the 10th year, Jo?
-Yes, it is. 10th year.
My goodness gracious.
I gotta ask you.
I explained
this contest to people
and it sounds
pretty straightforward,
but it is no easy piece of cake
to win this truck.
Exactly. It's--
it's gonna be a tough one.
But we got some
strong contestants,
so it's-- it's--
it's gonna be awesome. Yeah.
[Lenny] I'll bet it is.
All right.
I want to ask you about
how you go and select
those contestants every year.
Sure, uh, well we place these
little boxes in different places
all around town and then
anyone wanting to take part just
writes their name on a slip of
paper and drops it in the box.
And then we had four draws,
one each weekend
and each time,
five people were drawn.
Sunday was the last one.
Oh, Joan.
Now, don't you give it away.
-That's my job.
-Okay.
You're right,
Sunday was the last one,
but if I'm not mistaken,
only three people
were drawn on Sunday?
-Exactly.
-That is right.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we got a little treat for you.
We're gonna draw
the last two names
live right here in
the KNXP Studios.
Joan, will you do the honors?
I know you know
how to spin that thing.
Oh, it'd be my pleasure.
Let's see
who she pulls out of there.
-Okay. Ready?
-[Lenny] Yes, ma'am.
Good luck, y'all.
[cell phone vibrates]
Hi, baby. What's up?
No!
Nuh-uh, nah,
you're messing with me.
You're not playing? On TV?
-That's-- that's crazy, huh?
-[car honking]
I can't believe it either, baby.
-[car honking]
-Finally.
All right, I love you.
I love you too, Kyle.
Now, where's
my fucking root beer?
[Kyle]
I'll get it.
-You want anything?
-No, no thanks.
Everything okay with you?
[Kyle]
Can I take your order please?
Hey, Kyle,
how you doing, sugar?
[Kyle]
Good, Ms. Riley.
I'm gonna clock out here
in a few.
I, uh, I guess you probably
heard the-- What happened.
Yes, sir, I do know that and I
bet you're feeling mighty fine.
-[Kyle] Yeah.
-Isn't it amazing?
It's so great
that you got drawn, Kyle.
I'm so happy for you.
[Kyle]
Yeah, I just got the news.
Maria called me.
Uh, now listen up, Kyle.
Actually,
you'd better write this down.
No sugar, no fatty foods,
but lots of water and bananas.
Maybe an orange
every now and again,
but you don't want too much
acid on your stomach.
Okay? You listening to me?
But the most important thing is
drink, drink, drink.
Water, Gatorade,
some coffee is okay,
but none of that sweet stuff.
You got it?
[Kyle] Okay,
well thanks for the advice.
-You got it.
-[Kyle] Um,
what would you like to order?
Oh, um, I'll have the fried
shrimp and a large diet coke.
-[Kyle] You got it.
-Oh, shoot, you know what?
Make that a shake. XL.
Chocolate.
-[Kyle] Okay, you got it.
-Okay.
-Kyle's a sweetheart.
-Yeah.
-Hey, you lucky dog.
-[Kyle] There you go, Ms. Riley.
Thank you, thank you!
-There you go, keep the change.
-[Kyle chuckles]
-Keep cool.
-Yes ma'am.
Okay. Can you, uh,
drive my car on over?
-[Chris] Yeah.
-Thanks. I'll take that.
[door slams]
I'm just gonna run in quick
and pick up a couple of things.
-Okay.
-Hey!
Uh, lunch break at your place?
Yeah, sure.
Oh, I love your enthusiasm,
young man. [chuckles]
-I'll see you in a bit.
-Yep.
[Joan]
Hey, Peggy. How's life?
Oh, you know. It is what it is.
Well, good to see you, Peg.
Try and get some rest.
You're gonna need
all your strength.
Yep. Sure thing.
Oh, hey there, Lance, I'm gonna
take the truck with me.
-Thanks again, baby.
-[Lance] You got it.
Hey, when are you gonna come by?
You know we got free drinks
on Saturday night?
[car honking]
[Joan]
So, ready for round two?
[Chris] [sighs] No.
Can we talk for a minute?
Uh, sure.
I, uh, hope it's not about
popping the question
or the L word or something.
No, um, I met someone.
-[Joan] Ah.
-Yeah.
Yeah, so?
[Chris]
She's pretty serious about us.
Oh.
Well, that's fantastic.
So, what do you say?
Ready for round two?
[Chris]
Well, she wants a serious,
committed relationship,
you get it?
And we can't do this.
Actually, I-- I've been trying
to think about how
or if I was even gonna, uh,
but, uh, I know like it--
Like today when--
I mean-- I mean you always
said we-- we were just--
That was a joke, Chris.
-[Chris] Okay.
-That's great news, hon.
I mean, that's--
No, that's-- that's-- that's--
that's really terrific news.
-What's her name?
-Stephanie.
-[Joan] And-- Oh.
-[cell phone ringing]
Hello?
What? Oh.
Oh, no. Where at?
Oh, okay, I'll be right there.
I'm on my way.
-[Chris] What happened?
-Um, that was Zach.
Mom ran away again.
They found her though.
I just, uh, I gotta go.
Do you need help?
[Joan] No, thanks, sweetie.
It's all good.
Um...
Could you just do me a favor
and go get my clothes,
they're in the living room?
[footsteps approaching]
Thanks.
Stephanie's a pretty name.
I'm real happy for you, sweetie.
[Chris] Thanks.
What are you doing, Mom?
I don't like
to be pushed around.
Okay, so who's
pushing you around?
No one.
[Joan] You are very welcome,
it's my pleasure.
Where'd you get that snow cone?
[Martha]
The nice young man in there.
You reckon
he might be interested?
[Joan] Could be, could be.
I don't think so though.
Here we go.
[Martha]
You never can tell, huh?
[Joan] Yep. That's right,
you never can tell.
-What's this?
-This is a truck, Mama.
No shit, I'm not an idiot.
I know that, but I gotta
get back to the dealership.
-[exhales]
-Here, give me the snow cone.
Mama.
[door slams]
[engine starts]
[mellow instrumental]
[heavy rain falling]
[Joan on bullhorn]
Okay, y'all
if I can get every contestant
to the truck.
-All right.
-All right.
-I love you.
-I love you, too.
Want to bring you
something later?
-Surprise me.
-[siren wailing]
[Joan on bullhorn] Come on!
Y'all get on, get on over here.
We're gonna start.
[chattering]
[Joan on bullhorn]
Okay, welcome to the contest,
you lucky ducks.
Somebody's gonna
be walking home
with this truck.
Okay, y'all listen up.
On the hour,
there'll be a five
minute break.
Every six hours, 15 minutes.
Between breaks,
each contestant must always
keep at least one hand
on the vehicle.
No kneeling,
no leaning, no lying down,
no pushing yourself
against the vehicle.
Rules are rules.
Rules are rules.
[Joan on bullhorn]
During the contest,
each contestant
must wear a T-shirt.
-Come on, it's all right.
-Don't touch me.
[Joan]
Uh, oh, and also referees.
Yeah, referees, y'all call me
when something happens
and I'm not on site, okay?
Anytime of the day or night,
you can call Jo.
Okay? All right?
Yeah, okay.
Store that and press save.
Okay, once again, y'all,
when that buzzer sounds,
y'all have one, I repeat--
Hey, y'all have--
You listening? Y'all have one,
one minute to get back
to the truck.
Okay? You got that?
Yes, sir.
Okay. Y'all ready?
Wanna have some fun?
Let's do this thing.
-[cheering & applauding]
-[man] And hands on.
Yes! Who thinks
they're gonna win this truck?.
-All me, baby.
-Me, me, me.
You know it, y'all.
[Joan] Y'all ready
to have a good time?
All right, all right, folks.
The siren sounded,
the game begins.
-[contestant] Yeah.
-We're gonna be here
all the way reporting live
to the bitter end.
I'm fixing to go 100 hours,
Walter?
-Hey, man. Get ready for 120.
-Yeah, sure, wacko.
[indistinct chattering]
We got sleepy, we got hungry, we
got blondie, we got knee brace.
-All right, hey, right here.
-How you doing?
I'm doing good, buddy.
How you doing?
My hand, hold on one second.
-Ooh that was close.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We almost had
a close one there, huh?
Yeah, but it's not coming off,
you can bet your butt.
Okay. So, what's your name,
buddy?
-I'm Derek.
-Okay, Derek.
Well, tell everybody out there
what your plan is.
Uh, well, I'm--
I'm gonna just last longer.
That's it. That's my plan.
Well, you got-- you got
that look in your eye, buddy.
You look pretty confident.
Uh, what makes you
so confident that you're gonna
win this truck.
Well, you know, Lenny, uh,
I've seen pretty much everything
this freaking town has, yes.
In comparison,
this is pretty easy.
I reckon it is. Well, uh,
thank you for your service
and we're wishing you
some good luck.
Thank you, sir,
I appreciate that very much.
-Thank you.
-Watch for Derek.
He might be tough to beat.
Speaking of, tough to beat,
we've got a special treat
for you guys.
Rumor has it, we got
the most popular contestant
right here with me, this
beautiful young lady, Ruthie.
Now, Ruthie, you got a lot of
fans coming to see you,
you got some here already.
Yes, got lots of my friends
from my church here.
-Ruthie!
-[Lenny] Hey y'all!
Speaking 'bout
having a good time,
-Ruthie, good luck, sweetheart.
-[Ruthie] Thank you so much.
[Lenny] All right,
look at this guy, he's fired up.
What's your plan there, buddy?
Uh, jogging.
Right in the camera there.
Uh, exercise,
loosen up the muscles.
Every 15 minute break,
go for a run.
You gotta keep the
circulation going, helps,
uh, keep awake, keep fit.
Okay, where you from, Kev?
Blanchard,
right outside of Shreveport.
Music. Always music.
You know, I don't even
hardly notice time's passing.
It's just everything's just
easier with music, you know?
Gonna have a good time
standing next to this boy, huh?
Oh, yeah.
All right. Well,
I'm gonna be honest with you.
I like this boy's plan
right here.
He might have himself
a good shot.
That's right. You know,
you don't need the Lord
when you have stamina.
Ooh, it's on folks.
It's on.
-Good luck, Kevin. Good luck.
-Thank you.
Smile for just-- Never mind.
Got the ladies already.
Okay, here we go.
First of all, what's your name?
[Kyle] Kyle.
[Lenny] Okay, Kyle, why are
you going to win this truck?
Just look right into
the lens and answer, okay?
Why are you
gonna win this truck?
Because I need it for my family.
Um, my son.
One day,
my kid's gonna have a bike.
I can help my wife
carry some things.
My wife's cousin
has been loaning us
one of his trucks right now.
Gets real old,
always borrowing a truck
when you need one,
so, I'm gonna do it.
Okay, I hear that. I hear that.
Well, let's hear it for Kyle,
our big provider.
-Good luck, buddy.
-[laughing]
Oh, we got the fun bunch
over here, don't we?
[siren wailing in distance]
[Peggy] They hit on me,
they don't even tip me.
I swear if I win,
I'm gonna drive the truck
to the bar and tell them I quit
and then I'm outta here.
Yeah, sure.
Where are you gonna go?
-[Kyle] What?
-Let me guess.
Anywhere, right?
So long as it's far, far away.
As in no plan.
-Seriously, you people--
-[Kyle] Leave her alone.
It's none of your business.
Where are you from anyway?
-I don't know you.
-Save your energy, scout.
[Peggy] It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
Dipshit.
I do not care
for that kind of language.
[Kevin]
Nobody asked.
[contestant]
What's up with him?
[indistinct chattering]
[Joan] Gotta go, Bubba,
see you later.
-Won't take long. Hey.
-Yeah.
Joan get y'all something to eat?
Huh? You a big boy, come on.
Let's put a hot dog in you, man.
Come on. Just follow me.
Walk a little bit quicker

Come on, man. Keep up. Shit.
[indistinct chattering]
[siren wailing]
-Hi, Joan.
-Oh, hey.
-How are you today?
-Good and yourself?
Good. Want to join us?
Nah, I'm just part
of the wait staff.
Here to, you know, serve
the Lord through refreshments.
Bible study ain't really
my cup of tea, Clint.
You know,
just all that blah, blah, blah.
I'm just messing with you.
Oh, don't get me wrong.
You know
I love our Lord and Savior.
Father Lyndon is
a great man of God.
-Oh yes, he is.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Mm-hmm.
Yeah, well,
uh, I-- I'll see you later.
Okay, yeah.
Oh, actually, Clint, sorry.
Um, could you take these
and hand them out for me?
I gotta leave early today.
-Sure.
-You gonna stop by on Saturday?
We got free drinks.
I want y'all to come.
Oh, yeah. Well, you see,
here's the thing.
Marianne's kind of pissed
she wasn't picked
for the competition.
Clint, it's a raffle.
She bought that car
from you recently.
-Clint.
-I'm just saying.
It's up to chance. I'm sorry.
I mean, tell your sweetheart
I-- I want to see her there.
I want to see you too.
Well, I'll do the best I can,
but you know how she is.
Clint, it was a used Camry
and this is, what?
-Three years ago?
-[Clint] Just saying, Joan.
[Lyndon] When things are going
hard, when things--
[Clint]
Sorry, I was in the restaurant.
I was talking to Joan,
she gave me some flyers
to pass out, so here.
This is for Boudreaux's
Auto and Truck hands on.
Got a big party Saturday,
supposed to be a lot of fun,
DJ and all that kind of thing.
-This is Saturday?
-[Clint] Yes.
[birds chirping]
[crickets chirping]
[contestant 2]
I bet you. I bet you that.
Hey, hey, Biloxi.
Don't you sweat on my truck now,

[Ronny] But I ain't the only
one sweating here.

-Hey, boys.
-Yes, ma'am?
-Be nice.
We are, we are,

Fuck you.
[contestant 3]

We're just playing.
[Ronny] Pitiful.
-I'm out, guys.
-[gasping]
Dropped out.
That's what I'm talking about.
Seriously?

-Ruben, you're leaving?
Bless your heart.
Hey, be careful. Come here.

-[faint applauding]
-He did.
All right, come on now.
We're gonna get ya-- Yeah.
-Take care of yourself.
-Yeah, so long, man.

-Adios.
[Ruthie]
I hope you feel better, Ruben.
Adios, amigo.
Eighteen more to go.
[Joan] And get somebody to send
some water over, okay, Paul?
[Ronny]
Andale, andale.
[drumming on truck]
Hey!
[drumming continues]
[contestant 5] Please stop
beating on the truck.
Please.
What's up, there? Chillin'?
Sure, yeah.
Did you know I was born
and raised in Mississippi?
So I can take the heat for real.
Shit, man,
I can stand and stand and stand.
No problem.
94 degrees, Ronny stands.
105 degrees, Ronny stands.
Tropical thunderstorms,
Ronny keep on standing.
Hurricane, Ronny--
Ronny is still there.
You see, bro, it's a-- it's
a zen kind of thing, you know?
Not a word.
You didn't see nothing,
understood?
Understood?
You hear me? I need that truck.
Rust, it built up
on the vehicle.
Who left standin'?
Who left standin'?
Who do you think?
-Ronny.
-Ronny.
Yeah. Keep on standing, brother.
Like the song by that bald man,
that Phil Collins.
I'm still standing,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
See you out there, Pete.
[Lenny]
Over here we got Pock and Randy.
What's y'all's strategy
for this contest?
[Bubba] Well, man, you just,
you stand your ground
and you just give 110%.
I mean, that's--
we just, I mean--
We gonna win that truck.
[chuckles]
Well, you can't both
win the truck.
[both] What?
Of course we can, man. We both
got our hands on it, don't we?
Yeah, dude, I mean,
like, are you blind?
It's not like it's rocket
surgery or something.
[laughing]
Well, there you have it folks.
It's not rocket surgery.
[Peggy] Hey, you holding up
all right and everything?
Sure.
[Peggy]
Okay, I was just checking.
[Bubba] Yeah, you can't hunt
with the big dogs,
you might as well get on
the porch with the pups.
[Pock] On the porch
with the little puppers.
[Bubba] I'm patient.
Like a rock, I can wait.
[Pock] God damn, Randy.
You're sure wise.
[contestant] I wanted to trade
it in for an SUV.
For the kids, you know?
I'm real proud of you.
She did great.
It's all right. Good job.
Excuse me, darling.

Patricia Warren, diarrhea.
Oh, poor girl.
I told her not to eat
that crab sandwich.
-[siren wailing]
-There you go.
What do you think, Paul,
wasn't it the crab sandwich?
What do I care? Good night.
-Good morning.
-Okay.
-[Paul] Whatever.
-Get some sleep.
Walter, go get some rest.
This could be a long one.
You're gonna need
all your strength.
I'm not moving from here.
Well, when you start feeling
that pressure in your bladder,
at least then you're gonna
have to leave the car.
Alrighty then.
Mary, how're them
varicose veins?
[indistinct chattering]
[car approaches]
[door slams]
[Kyle] Hey!

-Oh.
-Over there. That's our car.
-Honey?
-Why are you doing this?
-What?
-Why didn't you just wait?
You don't believe I can do this,
is that it?
You don't think I'm gonna win,
is that-- is that right?
[Maria] Baby, of course,
I think you can win.
-How did you pay for it?
-[Maria] Baby, what's going on?
[sighs] Don't do this.
How'd you pay for it?
-Credit card.
-But that's money we don't have.
-Okay, I know--
-How much, how much?
-It wasn't that much.
-How much?
It wasn't that much! It's 480.
But baby, look at me,
look at me. Think about it.
We're gonna get rid
of that thing anyway.
It's gonna be worth more
if it's running, right?
Right?
-You must be tired.
-I'm gonna win that truck.
All right, you gotta trust me.
Okay.
[Kyle babbling]
-Baby?
-What?
-Give me your hands.
-Hmm?
Put one hand right here,
come on.
Thanks, baby.
[country music]
[Lenny] Not the crazy rain,
not the lack of sleep,
not a tornado,
not even a typhoon
is gonna stop this contest.
I'm starting to feel--
I've got a good feeling
about a couple of people.
[overlapping singing
and chatting]
[woman] Ronny! Ronny!
Whoo! Ronny!
[Lenny] I've got some
pretty important car tips
for you, so listen up.
[Joan]
Okay, Lenny, now you know
I can't show any favoritism.
I love them all.
Okay folks, listen up.
What has 355 HP, a V-8 engine,
the most efficient in its class,
and still manages
to look stunning?
Y'all, come on down
and see for yourself here
at Boudreaux's Auto and Truck
at 26th and Shanklin.
[Chris] Hey, man.
I know it's getting hot.
Not to worry, folks.
This has always been a special
point in the past few years.
Moment of truth!
Next few hours though, y'all
will be completely over it.
Same thing every year.
Hang in there.
[mellow folk music]
Whoa, chill out bro.
[whistling]
[Lenny]
Sorry, Peter, but you're out.
Peter?
What?
You took your hands off
the truck, man.
Yeah, right.
No, no, I'm-- I'm serious.
You took your hands off
the truck while you were beating
the rhythm, brother. You're out.
Are you--
are you shitting me?
No, I'm not shitting you.
-You took them off.
-You are-- you are shitting me.
I saw it.
No, I'm not shitting you, Peter.
-Look, let's go. Hey, hey--
-Come on, man, look, man,
I didn't take my hands off
the truck.
Look, man, all I was doing
was just beating out the rhythm.
I don't make the rules,
but you need to go.
Man, no. I'm in great shape,
man, I'm in great shape, guys.
-It's fine.
-Step away from it, man--
I've been going for days, man.
Hey, honey,
I'm sorry, it's the rules.
Let's go, Peter.
I'm not taking
my hands off the truck.
[indistinct yelling]
You know what? You ain't nothing
but a stupid--
You're gonna regret it, dude!
You're all a bunch
of fucking assholes!
Scram, B!
Every single fucking one of you.
[man]
Be nice, man!
[Peter] Big bunch of fucking
jerkoff fucking assholes.
-It's a fucking lie.
[referee] We got it on camera.
Oh, shit!
[Peter]
Fuck you! Fuck you!
You're all nothing but
a big ol' bag of fucking dicks.
[Ronny] Hey, Pete,
I'm still standin', brother!
[Peter] Hey, Ronny,
hey, Ronny. Fuck you!
-Bye, Pete!
-Hey, Biloxi, you're next!
Okay, we got it on camera.
We got that-- we got
the whole exchange on camera.
-Okay.
-[producer] So if you need me
to play it back for any reason,
we can get that for you.
[Joan] Thank you.
All right, back to it now.
-[applauding]
-[woman] Whoo!
Whatcha thinking
about over there?
Thinking about
that sweet wife of yours?
I wonder who's watching after
while you're standing here.
-[squeaking noises]
-[woman] What is wrong with you?
Kevin, you usually have
more fun with that hand
than you're having today,
am I right?
Shut the fuck up.
Don't start me.
[phone clicking]
[Joan]
Day and night.
Brand new tricked out truck
over at Boudreaux's?
Oh wait, where did you
say you're from again?
The-- The dealership at 26th
and Shanklin? Oh, never mind.
Anyway, anyway, anyway,
we do this every year
and it is such a blast.
Tonight, we're gonna
have music and dancing.
We got a live DJ coming in.
You want to come by?
You never even heard about this?
-[Richard] No, I haven't.
-Come on. Hands up.
-[Richard] No.
-Seriously?
-[Richard] Seriously.
-How is that even possible?
Isn't it dangerous?
I mean, to leave a bunch
of people standing out
in the heat without any sleep?
No. No, it's a blast.
It's a blast.
And first of all there's a tent
and, uh, really they can leave
anytime they want 'cause you
take part of your own free will.
It's totally voluntary.
Just come on by tonight.
You'll see for yourself.
You want to come?
Okay.
It's such a blast,
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you. It is.
Yeah, for real. For real.
So how long
you been living here?
Uh, uh, forever.
Yeah, we moved here
when I was eight.
-And do you have children?
-[Joan] Yeah, yeah.
One-- one daughter, Melissa.
Yeah, I'm real proud of her.
She just started college.
-Around here?
-[Joan] Florida State.
Tallahassee. Go Seminoles.
Nice, but not exactly
around the corner.
-You must miss her.
-Yeah, well.
[Richard]
I know what you're saying.
Three kids myself,
they mean the whole world to me,
but sadly they're scattered
throughout the country.
-Yep.
-Well,
nowadays every place is
within traveling distance.
I mean, you still get
to see your babies, right?
Sure, on holidays and stuff.
[Joan] Well, I just got
a new credit card
that's real good on miles.
Just, yeah, started collecting.
That wouldn't work for me.
I don't see my kids that often.
So, why do you do online dating?
-[Joan] What do you mean?
-[laughing]
[sighs] It doesn't matter.
Thank you.
-Ooh, don't that look good.
-Sure you don't want any?
Oh, no, thanks.
Hey, Richard,
you wrote in that online thing
that you like to go horseback
riding in your free time.
Yes.
[Joan] Can you take me
with you sometime?
-You ride?
-[Joan] No, I mean not exactly,
but right now in the parking lot
at Boudreaux's,
they have one of
those crazy bull rides.
Do you know those? Those little,
uh, mechanical bull things?
Oh, my God, you gotta see this.
You gotta come back.
You're gonna come by, right?
Because I have perfected
this contest.
[Charlie]
Hey, Joan, how's it going?
Good, Charlie. Excellent.
[upbeat pop music]
[indistinct chattering]
[woman]
Come on, Ruthie, you can do it!
We're praying for you!
All right, folks,
we're in the thick of it now.
Hands On 'bout to hit
the 40 hour mark.
Expecting this thing
to go over 100 hours, huh?
I know I can hear y'all
out there. Y'all stay with us.
Come back tomorrow
and be sure to check out
all our amazing deals on
certified pre-owned vehicles.
Ask for me directly, Bubba.
I'll be here all evening
and tomorrow...
[boy] Daddy, daddy!
Here, here!
[Bubba] Also, to the owner
of a 1998 Buick--
[Brian] Why don't we just
move around the truck?
Stretch out our legs a little,
what do you think?
You just circle around together.
Of course, keep one hand
on the truck. All right?
[contestant]
He's suggesting we loosen up
by walking around the truck.
Not me. I'm staying right here.
Right here.
[contestant]
Come on, Walter.
[Ruthie]
It'll do us all some good.
You too, Mr. Walter.
We need to loosen up
our legs a little bit.
Walter, Walter, not gonna move.
I'm staying right here.
[Brian] All right.
Walter is staying right here.
-That's right.
[Brian]
You gonna miss the exercise.
-[woman] You suck, Pock!
-[Pock] Hey, you suck!
[belching]
[Kevin]
Kyle, your wife, oof.
She is one hot tamale. Nice ass.
Tell me, how'd you get
a girl like that anyway?
Frisky.
[Kevin laughing]
Don't make me,
don't make me
Excuse me.
Watch the hands, ref.
[Ruthie]
Keep moving, y 'all.
He's hot.
What happened, tell us!
What happened?
Uh, well, you know, sparks
were flying from the start.
-We just clicked, so.
-Oh, Joan, that's great.
I mean, we'll see,
we'll see, we'll see.
[woman]
Did you bring him here tonight?
No. I wouldn't have
time for him.
I mean, look around you. Right?
How many times
are we going around, Bryan?
[Kevin] As many as it takes,
Walter. As many as it takes.
[Brian]
Exercise, Walter, exercise.
We're here to choose,
I got the juice
[Kevin] Keep going or
we can hang out right here.
[contestant]
Come on now.
You already going,
the club already jumpin'
It's getting hot in here
Okay. I'm gonna make my rounds,
but y'all keep drinkin'.
-All right.
-Thank you!
-All right.
-Cheers.
That's why we talkin',
that's why we talkin'
He said I like you too
That's why we talkin'
that's why we talkin'
What they say
when they shake it
That's why we talkin'
that's why we talkin'
That's why we talkin'
He said I like you too
That's why we talkin'
that's why we talkin'
What they say
when they shake it
He already got whips
Already got
that [indistinct]
Tucked in the hip
He don't really play
Rockin' Gucci shades
In an Escalade
[indistinct lyrics]
He got ice in his grill
The soldier got a smile
that'll give you a chill
[electronic country music]
Fuck it. Fuck it.
I'm out.
Fuck this shit. I'm out.
[woman] Cory, no honey.
Where are you going?
[Cory]
I'm getting a beer.
[Pock] He said fuck that shit,
I'm out. [laughing]
Constantly with the F word.
I can't take it anymore.
-Clean up your attitude, men!
-[Pock] Oh, poor Ruthie.
What, do you have virgin
ears or something?
[Walter]
Shut up!
[Bubba] Oh, looks like
Cory left the truck.
It's dwindling down
and it's dwindling down.
We still got a good
number left, folks,
but we are getting ever closer
to somebody driving home
in that brand spankin' new
Matterhorn 220
pick' em up truck.
That was good, Joan!
Great job, great job.
Ms. Joan Riley, everyone,
Ms. Joan Riley!
She's our very own
Annie Oakley right there!
All right.
Let me show y'all how it's done!
All right. Here we go, boss.
Caw-caw, caw-caw.
[Joan]
Hey, Jerry, Margaret.
Hey, won't you stay
a little bit longer?
All right, see y'all.
Hey, where are you going?
-[man] It's raining, Joan.
-It's only a drizzle y'all.
This is when
the excitement starts.
Becky, hey, you want to get
another drink with me?
Oh, just one more.
Glad we're getting to do
this instead of having fun
and partying like
everybody else today.
[Joan] Hey, Clint,
where you going, huh?
I know you ain't tired.
Hey, you wanna see tired?
Take a look
at those contestants.
They need us.
We gotta stay, right?
Sorry, Joan. No offense.
See you in church on Sunday?
-Yeah, I'll see you in church.
-[Clint] Good luck!
Bye, Marianne.
O, say does-- Can you see
By the dawn's early light
Wait, what is it again?
-O say can you see.
-Okay, okay.
-O, say can you--
-O, say can you see--
-Sorry.
-You start it, you start it.
O, say can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's
last gleaming
Whose broad stripes
and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts
we watched
Were so gallantly
streaming?
And the rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through
the night
That our flag
was still there
O say does
that star-spangled
Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
[Ruthie] Whoo!
And the home of the
Brave
[crickets chirping]
Everything okay?
Break's coming soon, Peggy.
No sleep until then.
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay?
Mm.
Oh.
[urine dripping]
Oh.
Oh, honey.
[Ruthie]
Peggy. Oh, sweetheart.
Peggy, honey,
you want us to call somebody?
[contestant]
Look at that.
Just let her wander off alone
in the middle of the night.
Peggy, where are you going?
[contestant 2] Just wake me up
if anything happens.
[man]
Hey, Peggy, you all right?
[Joan]
Okay, y'all. Hour 42.
Y'all are doing great.
Just hang on, get some rest.
Y'all got enough to eat?
Mary, did you get the little,
um, what's the thing?
-The thingy thing for the leg?
-[Mary] Yeah.
[Joan] Okay, good,
because that's gonna help.
Your daughter's so cute.
Okay. Walter,
you can sit down, honey.
-Cup.
-What?
-Cup.
-You want some water?
-No, cup.
-[Joan] You just want the cup?
Mm-hmm. [clears throat]
[Ruthie]
Oh, man.
He just pissed in the cup.
He's been pissing in a bag.
That is disgusting.
[Ronny] That's nasty, Walter,
that's nasty.
-That is nasty.
-Please?
[Kyle] Peggy.
[train whistle blaring]
Peggy!
Hey, you asswipe.
You are not winning that truck,
do you hear me?
-You let it go.
-You want to fucking go?
You want to fucking go?
Whoa, chill.
What are you, crazy?
[laughing]
[siren wailing]
[Ruthie] "Believest thou this.
She said, yes Lord.
I believe that thou art
the Christ,
the Son of God,
who should come to this world.
And when she had so said,
she went her way,
And called her sister, Mary.
The teachers here, she said...
[murmuring]
When Mary heard--
[Ruthie mumbling]
[Brian laughing]
[Ruthie]
... comforting her,
noticing how quickly
she cut everyone out.
They followed her, supposing
she was going to the tomb
to mourn him."
[Brian giggling]
-[contestants chuckling]
-[Ruthie praying]
What?
[Ruthie chuckling]
Stop.
[contestants laughing]
[Ruthie laughing while praying]
What? What're you laughing...
What you laughing about? 'Ey.
Dude, you [indistinct], man.
-[Ruthie] Stop.
-What is he--
What is he laughing about?
[laughing continues]
[contestant]
Oh, shit!
-Hey, hey, guys, Walter fell.
-What!
Hey, Walter's down, I'm serious!
-[Joan] Walter?
-[Chris] Walter?
[Joan]
Walter! Oh, my God, Chris!
-[Chris] Yeah, yeah I'm coming.
-[Joan] Walter?
[Chris] Can you hear me?
Walter!
[Joan] He just fell,
he just went crashing down.
-Walt?
-I don't know.
Is it Walter?
[Chris] Don't know anybody.
You all right?
-[Chris] You all right?
[Joan] Just call 911.
[Chris] Okay, Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Is he breathing?
All right, buddy,
we're calling 911 for you.
[woman]
Somebody do something.
Hey, we're at Boudreaux's
26th and Shanklin Hands On
contest and we got a dude
that just straight fell out.
[Ronny] Walter.
[man]
Walter. Talk to me, buddy.
Uh, he's on the pavement
in front of the truck.
Yeah, he's breathing.
He's just not waking up.
He'd been up for,
like, two days.
-Walter?
-He never took a break.
Are you sending somebody?
[Joan]
His eyes are opening now.
[Bubba] All right,
his eyes are open now.
-Walter?
-[Bubba] Okay, thank you, ma'am.
-Hey, hey, sweetie.
-Walter, are you with us?
[Joan] Hey,
do you know you are, sweetie?
Walter, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
[Bubba] His eyes are open,
he's all right.
[Chris] Hey, buddy, they're
sending an ambulance, okay?
[Joan]
Walter, can you hear me?
[man]
Be careful with him.
[Chris]
You want something to drink?
-You know where you are?
-Yeah.
-[Chris] Like a cup of water?
-Yeah.
-Okay, let's get him water.
-Somebody get him a water.
I just kind of wish it wouldn't
have been Walter though
because he's been standing
his ground the whole time.
I'm glad you're not dead.
You held out a long time, man.
[Randy] That is a positive now
that there's less now,
so it's almost over.
You need a beverage
or some M&M's?
[Ronny] You gotta get up, man.
Come on, now.
[Chris]
Yup, nothing to be ashamed of.
[Pock]
Rules is rules, Walter.
Y'all remember
to take your breaks.
Where-- where's Derek?
-Where's Derek at?
-Derek?
Did he just leave?
6.2 liter.
426 horsepower. V-8.
I reckon you like some serious
oomph on the hood, right?
Flex them muscles a bit?
Why don't we, uh,
step into my office?
Check out the blue book
on that trade in you got.
[Joan exhaling]
[train whistle blaring]
[jazz music]
-Hey, stranger.
-Hey there.
How's Walter doing?
Y'all get any word?
Yeah, he's a little bit better.
They're keeping him
in the hospital overnight
just to monitor him.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
-What happened to your hand?
-Oh, casualty of war.
-No.
-What?
Pock and Randy got in a fight,
-me and Ruth had to break it up.
-What?
-This morning.
-What happened?
Yeah, well, actually,
uh, they were joking around.
You know,
kind of delirious, you know,
um, just poking at each
other and all that stuff.
But then Pock,
like, started smacking him
on the ass and like,
gave him a titty twister.
Yeah, I know,
like infantile shit like that,
kind of funny at the time,
but Randy wasn't having it
and Pock wasn't gonna stop.
And then suddenly, they're
just shoving on each other
and going at it. Randy has
got him in a damn headlock--
-No shit.
-No shit.
Okay. Look. Lenny took this.
Was it during
the break or was it--
No, this was during
the real thing and basically
they-- they knocked
themselves out the running.
[Lenny]
Best friends here.
- You suck.
-[Joan] Is this the slip-up?
-[Chris] It's escalating.
What are you gonna do,
son of a--
-That's it.
-[Joan] Well, there it is.
[Joan gasping]
[Chris] So here I'm coming in
right there, ref comes over,
but we get him up.
Or we think he's done,
but no, that ain't it.
What's so funny, motherfucker?
What's your problem?
Better get
the fuck out my face--
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Whoa, whoa!
What is wrong with you?
What is wrong with you?
-[Chris] Dropped the N-bomb.
-[Joan] No--
Somebody tried to pull me
off the truck, man.
[Chris]
Yeah. Yeah.
-Several times.
-[Joan] Oh, my God.
-Get the fuck out of here!
-What he said.
-Is he okay?
-Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I guess.
But you know. Shit.
-Poor guy.
-It's all right.
It's okay. I'm gonna go
and I'll go check on him--
-Cool.
-Yeah, it'll be okay.
Hey, don't post that
or anything.
-Please.
-[Chris] No, course not.
[announcer] Well, we want
somebody to win here
at Boudreaux's
and that somebody is you.
So maybe it's time to get rid
of that old rust bucket
you're driving now
and climb into something new
or ever so slightly
pre-owned with zero down
and zero interest
for the first three months.
Y'all will be turning heads
every time you turn that corner
starting today. We got
guaranteed easy financing
and an easy approval process.
And remember, for every new
vehicle
that drives off this lot today,
we'll throw in your
first five oil changes free.
Y'all like free, don't you?
Huh?
[door opens, closes]
[thudding]
[sighs]
You don't get it, do you?
You know,
even if you do win this truck,
and you're not going to,
you're still gonna be
the idiot who had to stand
around a truck for days
because he couldn't afford
to buy one for himself.
You know why people
come here and watch us?
It's a show.
It's a really good show.
Then you're also an idiot.
Yeah, but I don't care.
That's the difference.
I do this professionally
and I'm also really
fucking good at it.
But you,
no matter what you do,
you, uh, you always stay
the idiot.
That is just the way it is.
Hands on! See you out there.
[chatter]
[hands clapping
and feet stomping]
[chatter continues]
[honking]
Hey!
-Hey, baby.
-Hey.
-How you doing? You okay?
-Yeah, I'm good.
They blocked everything here
'cause more press is coming.
You can park over there.
Oh, I don't think we can stay.
The little guy's been acting up.
He's just so tired.
Mm. Hey there, little buddy.
[Maria] He didn't sleep much
last night.
-Coming tomorrow?
-Yeah, we'll try.
But if I can pick up a shift,
then...
'Cause we need the money
right now.
Yeah, I know.
Well, I'mma come later on.
-[siren wailing]
-I have to go.
Kyle.
Baby, it's only a car.
Bye.
I love you.
[announcer] And when y'all
just come talk to me, Bubba,
or Chris, y'all probably seen
Chris walking,
and he's a squat little fella,
but he's honest as the day
is long and y'all don't tell him
I said that because
he is sensitive, ain't he?
Yeah, y'all know,
he knows. Yeah.
Anyway, I'm just kidding.
We love Chris around here,
I'd trust him with my wife
if I had one.
But again,
I just want to thank y'all
for coming down
to Boudreaux's Auto and Truck
where you don't trade in,
you trade up.
Enjoy the show and don't forget
to do old Bubba a flavor.
If you set a paper cup down,
pick it up.
[Ruthie] "Verse 4: His wisdom
is profound, His power is vast.
Who has resisted Him
and come out unscathed?
Verse 5: He moves mountains
without their knowing
it and overturns them
in His anger.
He shakes the earth
from its place
and makes its pillars tremble.
Verse 7: He speaks to the sun
and it does not shine.
He seals off the light
of the stars.
Verse 8: He alone stretches
out the heavens
and treads on the waves
of the sea.
Verse 9: He is the maker--
Verse 23: When a scourge
brings sudden death,
He mocks
the despair of the innocent.
Verse 24: When the land falls
into the hands of the wicked,
he blindfolds its judges,
if it is not He, then who is it?
Verse 25: My days are
swifter than a runner;
they fly away without
a glimpse of joy.
Verse 26: They skim past
like boats of papyrus,
like eagles swooping
down on their prey.
Verse 27: If I say,
'I will forget my complaint,
I will change my expression,
and smile.'
Verse 28: I still dread
all my sufferings,
for I know you will not
hold me innocent.
Verse 30: Even if I washed
myself with soap and my hands
with cleansing powder.
Verse 31: You would plunge me
into a slime pit so that
even my clothes would detest me.
Verse 32: He is not
a mere mortal like me
that I might answer Him,
that we might confront
each other in court.
Verse 33: If only there were
someone to mediate between us,
someone to bring us together.
Verse 34: Someone to remove
God's rod from me,
so that His terror would
frighten me no more.
Verse 35: Then I would
speak up without fear of Him,
but as it now stands with me,
I cannot.
Chapter 10.
I loathe my very life;
therefore I will give free rein
to my complaint and speak out
in the bitterness of my soul.

Do not declare me guilty,

you have against me.

Hey. Wake up.
Buzzer's about to sound,
hop to it.
Come on, break's over.
Here we go, drink this.
You want to win this truck,
don't you?
Huh? All right, so get on up.
Come on.
Hey, Kathy, everything okay?
We're moving on, baby doll.
We're moving on, y'all.
Brian. Brian, you're
gonna have to wake up.
-[siren wailing]
-All right? Sorry, y'all,
you gotta wake up. Come on.
You can do it.
[Joan speaking faintly
over wailing siren]
[Ruthie whispering verses
indiscernibly]
[Ruthie, whispering] "He marches
nations and disperses them.
Verse 24: He deprives the
leaders of the earth
of their reason; He makes them
wander in a trackless waste.
Verse 25..."
[Kevin] Kyle.
Kyle.
[Ruthie, whispering] "Verse 3:
But I desire to speak
to the Almighty and to argue
my case with God.
Verse 4..."
[Kevin]
You looking for your wife?
Probably has to work, huh?
Somebody's gotta bring home
the bacon while you just
stand here all day.
[Ruthie continues whispering]
[Kevin] Kyle.
You know, I was curious.
Did she get used to the smell
of cheeseburgers
and French fries
when you come home at night?
[Ruthie] Cut it out, Kevin.
[Kevin] I had a talk with her
last night. Real sweetheart.
-Doll.
-[Ruthie] Stop it.
[Kevin laughing]
Maria, Maria.
Really beautiful name.
Maria. That Spanish?
Shut the fuck up!
[chuckles]
[Kevin] Hey, Ruthie.
Why don't you read us
the verse about infidelity?
Can you please try to be nice?
Aw.
[chuckles]
[siren wailing]
[grunting]
What do you say now?
What do you say now?
[eerie calm
instrumental music]
[siren wailing]
Kyle?
[Kyle panting]
[exhales]
That-- that ain't--
that ain't possible.
That ain't possible.
He's lying on the ground. K.O.,
just around the corner,
he ain't moving.
Kyle, just-- just-- just stop.
He ain't moving.
He was bleeding so much.
He's--
[whimpers]
[Chris] Yo, Kyle. What are you
seeing there, buddy?
Kyle?
Are you still with us here?
What are you seeing now?
Come on, let us know.
Talk to us.
[Ruthie]
"Put my feet in the stocks
and stand watch over
all my paths.
Set a limit for the soles
of my feet.
Verse 28: A person wears
out like something rotten,
like a moth-eaten garment.
Job 14, Verse 1:
Anyone born of woman
is short of days
and full of trouble.
Verse 2: He blossoms
like a flower and withers;
He flees like a shadow
and does not last.
Verse 3: Do You really take
notice of one like this?
Will You bring me into
judgment against You?
Verse 4: Who can produce
something pure
from what is impure?
No one.
Verse 5: Since a person's days
are determined,
the number of
his months depends on--"
One.
[clears throat]
One.
[Ruthie stops whispering]
Two.
[Kevin] It's not even your turn.
[mellow instrumental
playing faintly]
Fuck.
He just came out of nowhere,
I don't know.
Here. Drink some water.
Andy, I think I need to go
to the hospital.
Jesus Christ, Kevin.
Don't be such a fucking pussy.
All right, just hang in there.
We're almost there.
We're winning that truck.
[Joan] I brought us food.
Chili rellenos.
Not hungry.
With beef and dirty rice,
Mom, you like them.
-[Mama] Not hungry.
-You gotta eat, Mom.
-[Mama] Nope.
-Come on, Mom, I'm in a rush.
-[Mama] Already ate.
-What?
Oh, I see Zach already
got stuff for y'all to eat.
You already ate with Zach?
I didn't know that.
[quietly]
Communication breakdown.
[Mama] Melissa brought it.
-What? What did you say?
-[Mama] Melissa brought it.
Mom, Zach always brings you
Chinese,
almost every single day.
[Mama] Nope, it was Melissa.
-That's not possible.
-[Mama] Why not?
'Cause Melissa doesn't live
here anymore.
-[Mama] What?
-She doesn't live here anymore.
[Mama] Well,
where does she live?
You know exactly where
she lives, Mom, in Florida.
-[Mama] What?
-In Tallahassee?
-[Mama] What, what-a-hassee?
-Tallahassee, Mom!
Tallahassee, Florida?
Yes, and now
I'm completely alone.
My goodness, that is far away.
Yeah. Yeah, it's far. It's far.
Florida?
Her age,
what does she want in Florida?
Down there is only
retired people and wackos.
-You know that, right?
-What?
That there are only
nut jobs down there?
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
You're absolutely right
about that.
We have to get her out of there.
-Mom, she's in college.
-No-- Oh, really?
They're crazy down there.
I'll help you.
All right, let's do it. Eh?
How many tanks
do we need to get there?
[Joan laughs]
I don't know.
190 to the 10, all the way.
190 to 10. 190 to 10.
[crickets chirping,
faint chattering]
[ ] No squatting
or leaning on the car.
-Sorry, Kathy.
-Seriously?
I've been standing here
for four days.
I can't even fucking squat?
I'm sorry, Kathy.
But these are the rules.
Is everything okay, Ruth?
-Are you okay?
-[Ruth vomits]
-[all exclaiming]
-Oh, God.
[Ruth] No! Oh, God, oh, no, no,
no, oh, God, no.
Ruth, Ruth, what's wrong?
What's the matter?
Oh, no! Oh, God, oh, God, no,
I am-- I am so sorry.
I didn't mean
for this to happen.
Oh, dear God,
please forgive me.
I'm so sorry, honey.
It's over, it's time to go.
No, no!
Yes, you took your hands
off the truck.
No, I-- I had to keep my hands
on the truck.
-It's over. It's over, Ruth.
-[babbling] I don't wanna go.
Look, look, look,
let's go sit down.
Let's-- Look, calm down,
calm down. I know, I know.
I know, you had to,
but I'm sorry.
[Ruthie crying]
[referee] Calm down.
Calm yourself down.
[Kathy] Everything okay, Kyle.
Are you okay?
Everything okay?
What's up? What?
[Kevin laughing]
[engine starting]
[insects buzzing]
He's a fucking mess.
Fucking cheating fuck.
Lying. Fucking--
He's a fucking motherfucking
cheating fucking mother--
[grunts]
Motherfucking cheat.
Fuck.
[small squeal]
He's off. He's off.
He's off.
-[gasps]
-[tires screeching]
-[pounding]
-Fuck!
-Kyle?
-[Kyle] Motherfucking lying.
Kyle! Where are you going?
[alarm wailing]
[Kyle] Sporting goods?
Over there.
[alarm continues]
Y'all? Y'all, come with me,
Come inside, okay?
-[Kevin] What's going on?
-Uh...
You can take your hands
off the truck now, okay?
[Kevin] Yeah, right.
No, no, I'm serious.
It's for your own safety.
So, can you-- can you please
just-- just step away
from the car now-- now.
Okay? Please.
-[man] We're not allowed.
-Yes, yes, you're allowed.
I'm giving you permission.
There's-- There's a little
something going on over there
and I'm a little worried
about your safety.
So, can you come
with me now, please?
Maybe we should
listen to Joan, guys.
-Now, now, now.
-[Kathy] Mm.
Mm.
Okay, Larry.
[Joan] It's okay,
Brian, come on. Here we go.
Come on, Brian.
All right, sweetie,
go follow him.
Go sit down.
Can you take her home?
-Yes, ma'am.
-Okay, y'all get in there
and close the door
and nobody leaves that room.
Do you understand me?
And-- and close the--
the-- the blinds.
[siren wailing]
[Joan] 20 people stand around
a pickup truck, day and night.
A brand new, tricked out truck.
And the last one
standing wins the truck.
[officer]
Put the weapon down!
Put the weapon down!
Hands in the air!
Do it, Kyle!
Raise your hands.
Come on, Kyle.
Put the weapon down!
-[indistinct yelling]
-Put it down!
[Joan] People swing by to watch
and there's parties, TV's there.
And um, next year, we're going
to have even more prizes.
[gunshot]
[soft tense music]
I just had a feeling.
I mean, it was already
weird in the afternoon
when I-- when I left.
Something wasn't right with him,
but I had to leave
to see my mom.
[officer] What do you think?
What-- What was going on?
I don't know, I don't know.
He didn't-- he didn't make it.
He really wanted that truck.
Did he really need
a new car so bad?
[Joan] Yeah.
No...
He really needed to win,
I guess.
[birds chirping]
[radio]
... 2-11, where you at?
[officer] I'm on the way.
-Bringing Joan Riley home.
-[radio] Who?
[officer] Joan Riley, she works
for the car dealership.
[radio] Okay, 10-4.
Where is she studying?
[Roan] Uh, Florida. Tallahassee.
-Jonas is eight.
-[Joan] What's he like?
Oh, he's a serious little guy.
[laughs]
He likes animals,
especially sick ones.
Always trying to heal them.
[Joan] He sounds like
a real sweet little boy.
[officer] Yeah, he is.
So tell me about Melissa.
Um, she plays the guitar.
She got a real pretty
singing voice.
And I miss her every day.
[officer]
Yeah. Crazy how time flies.
Yeah, you think they'll
always stay your baby, right?
I thought she was gonna be
a baby forever.
And then she just
became a whole person.
Herself.
[contemplative
instrumental music]
[panting & moaning]
Yeah, yeah...
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
[Maria] I'm gonna go get some
water, you want some, baby?
[Kyle] No, I'm good.
[Maria]
How was the job interview?
[Kyle] They ain't
got nothing right now.
They're gonna let me know
as soon as they need somebody.
[Maria]
Well, can I call my cousin?
-Luis?
-[Maria] Yeah.
Why?
Yeah because he's always
looking for hands.
He's got a big move
coming up, so...
Sure.
-[Maria] Huh?
-Sure.
[engine sputtering]
Shit.
[sighs]
-[Kyle] Hey.
-[Luis] What's up, man?
[Kyle] Hey, I'm good. You good?
-[Luis] What you doing?
-I'm just running some errands.
Good, good. Diapers, huh?
Yeah.
I remember those days.
What size is he now?
-A four.
-That's a big boy.
Yeah, yeah,
he's growing great.
Hey, um,
I appreciate the opportunity.
Bringing me in tomorrow.
I really do.
You bet, man.
Bring your work gloves.
-[Kyle] Got it.
-All right, I'll see you--
-See you soon.
-[Kyle] All right, man.
What are you up to now?
I've-- I've got some more stuff,
I gotta get.
[Luis] Oh. [scoffs]
-You remember?
-[Luis] I hear you, man. Okay.
All right. Shit.
-[Luis] Yeah.
-All right.
[car motor rumbling]
-What you doing here, boy?
-Going home, sir.
-On foot?
-Car broke down.
You ain't out here looking
for trouble, are you Kyle?
No, sir.
Not one bit, I swear it.
Good answer.
[soft music]
[crickets chirping]
[birds chirping]
[waves crashing]
Agua.
[Kyle] James.
James.
James.
[baby crying]
I'll get it.
-Where are your keys?
-[Maria] Kitchen counter.
[coughing]
[truck] Oh, man,
I think I caught a cold.
Oh, yeah? What happened?
[truck] Into the showroom,
out of the showroom.
You sweat out here
in the parking lot
then you freeze in the AC.
I'm sensitive
to temperature shifts, man.
Sorry to hear that.
[truck] Thanks, buddy.
But what can you do?
It's not that bad.
How are you, my friend?
-What's new?
-Not much? Same old.
[truck]
Listen, promise me one thing.
[Kyle] Let's hear it.
[truck] Drive to the coast
with me when you've won.
-Down to the gulf?
-[Kyle] Sure.
[truck] Nice. Just you and me.
-Yeah, and Maria and James.
-[truck] Maria and James?
-Yeah.
[truck] Right.
As if you were
some kind of help to them.
A package deal. Sorry.
[truck] Whatever.
Do what you gotta do, big guy.
Oh, man. We'll see the gulf,
the beach. Nice.
Or we could just drive
around for the hell of it,
for fun, you know?
Or riding for the feeling
Riding for the feeling
Is the fastest way
to reach the shore
On water or land
Riding for the feeling
Riding for the feeling
Riding for the feeling
How's it going? Ah!
Oh, my God.
[car honks]
All right?
I gotta go. Hasta Manana.
[baby fussing]
Hey there, little man. Yeah.
Mama's right over there.
Bye, Greg.
See you tomorrow.

Beside, beside, beside,

[man] Action!
All right, folks,

We take a truck,
brand new, heavy duty,
Matterhorn 220 truck, six liter,
V-8 engine, premium package.
We draw contestant's names
out of the lottery
and those lucky guys and gals
stand beside that truck
with one hand on it
at all times.
Last one to take their
hands off, they win that truck.
It's called hands on, it's three
quarter ton of fun, and, y'all,
here's the best part yet,
all throughout that contest,
we got amazing deals on
new and used vehicles
that makes everybody a winner
at Boudreaux's Auto and Truck,
26th and Shanklin. Caw-caw!
Come on down! [exclaims]
I'm a selling machine!
Come on down! Come on down.

[birds chirping]
[baby crying]
[dog barking]
[birds chirping]
[woman] He had a good smile,
was cute. Oh, this one!
This one is the architect.
[woman 2]
That guy's an architect?
[woman] Yeah, this is Norman,
the guy that I went out with.
-I told you.
-[woman 2] Not too shabby.
-He's cute.
-[woman] Hmm, he is cute.
I have to tell you
the story though.
[laughs] So, we go on this date
and we go back to my place
and we're not there but,
what, like, five minutes?
I turn around and boom.
There's Norm with his pants
down and his dick out.
-[woman 2] No!
-[woman] True story.
He really did. [laughing]
I-- I didn't know what--
what do you do?
-[woman 2] Yeah!
-So... [laughing]
-Beats me.
-So I was like, "Oh, Norm.
You're the fast type."
And he says, "I really had
to get up early in the morning,
so, uh, you know,
can we get this thing going?"
-Wow!
-I know.
-I mean we did it, really.
-[woman 2] Let me see this guy.
[woman] Look, it's early bird
Norm catching his worm.
[woman 2] Oh, yeah.
That guy told me the same thing.
-Seriously!
-Oh, hell no!
[woman 2] Seriously, that guy's
a waste of your time.
I know!
[Joan] Hey, hey, why don't
you give me his number?
I can appreciate efficiency.
-[laughing]
-[woman 4] There you go!
Oh, look at that.
I didn't notice
-that cute suit on you.
-Oh, thanks.
Wait, did Pat
bring that one, too?
No, no, I got this
from the outlet over
by the Westside mall.
-You know that place?
-[woman] Oh, yeah.
-Yeah, it was cheap.
-[woman 2] Gotta love it.
Oh, hey, so how's
sweet toots Melissa doing?
-She like Tallahassee?
-Oh yeah, she's doing fine.
Of course. Yeah.
I mean, what can I say?
It's, uh, it's Florida.
Can't complain.
-[woman 2] Yeah.
-Yeah
[woman 2] Damn it, Sam,
could you get that?
Jesus, cut your nails.
Well, thems the breaks,
you know?
You feed 'em, you wipe
their butts and their tears,
then one day,
they're just up and gone.
Good for nothing brats.
Who needs 'em?
[Joan] No, that's not true,
Mel calls me every day.
It seems like we talk even
more since she moved out.
Besides, y'all,
she wants to come home
for Thanksgiving,
maybe even earlier.
[woman 4]
So, what do y'all think?
I just keep telling her--
-[woman 4] Foxy or what?
-Yeah!
-[woman] What the--
-[woman 4] Thank you!
-[woman 2] Oh, yes.
-[woman] It looks so good.
[woman 2]
It does!
[woman] I'm gonna post it.
#deadsexy.
-[Joan] Awesome.
-[woman 4] Thank you, Tyra.

[muffled voice]
Caw-caw! Come on down!
I'm a selling machine!
Come on down! Come on down.
Boudreaux's Auto and Truck.
[Lenny] Whoo.
Hands on people, hands on.
It is that time of year again
where we get 20 people
to stand around a truck with
one hand on it for as long
as they can, day and night,
'til the last person standing
with their hand on it,
mind you, wins that truck.
Now, I'm excited to have
this young lady here
join us in the studio today.
This is Joan Riley.
Now, she does PR down
at Boudreaux's.
She also has been organized
in this contest for--
-Is this the 10th year, Jo?
-Yes, it is. 10th year.
My goodness gracious.
I gotta ask you.
I explained
this contest to people
and it sounds
pretty straightforward,
but it is no easy piece of cake
to win this truck.
Exactly. It's--
it's gonna be a tough one.
But we got some
strong contestants,
so it's-- it's--
it's gonna be awesome. Yeah.
[Lenny] I'll bet it is.
All right.
I want to ask you about
how you go and select
those contestants every year.
Sure, uh, well we place these
little boxes in different places
all around town and then
anyone wanting to take part just
writes their name on a slip of
paper and drops it in the box.
And then we had four draws,
one each weekend
and each time,
five people were drawn.
Sunday was the last one.
Oh, Joan.
Now, don't you give it away.
-That's my job.
-Okay.
You're right,
Sunday was the last one,
but if I'm not mistaken,
only three people
were drawn on Sunday?
-Exactly.
-That is right.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we got a little treat for you.
We're gonna draw
the last two names
live right here in
the KNXP Studios.
Joan, will you do the honors?
I know you know
how to spin that thing.
Oh, it'd be my pleasure.
Let's see
who she pulls out of there.
-Okay. Ready?
-[Lenny] Yes, ma'am.
Good luck, y'all.
[cell phone vibrates]
Hi, baby. What's up?
No!
Nuh-uh, nah,
you're messing with me.
You're not playing? On TV?
-That's-- that's crazy, huh?
-[car honking]
I can't believe it either, baby.
-[car honking]
-Finally.
All right, I love you.
I love you too, Kyle.
Now, where's
my fucking root beer?
[Kyle]
I'll get it.
-You want anything?
-No, no thanks.
Everything okay with you?
[Kyle]
Can I take your order please?
Hey, Kyle,
how you doing, sugar?
[Kyle]
Good, Ms. Riley.
I'm gonna clock out here
in a few.
I, uh, I guess you probably
heard the-- What happened.
Yes, sir, I do know that and I
bet you're feeling mighty fine.
-[Kyle] Yeah.
-Isn't it amazing?
It's so great
that you got drawn, Kyle.
I'm so happy for you.
[Kyle]
Yeah, I just got the news.
Maria called me.
Uh, now listen up, Kyle.
Actually,
you'd better write this down.
No sugar, no fatty foods,
but lots of water and bananas.
Maybe an orange
every now and again,
but you don't want too much
acid on your stomach.
Okay? You listening to me?
But the most important thing is
drink, drink, drink.
Water, Gatorade,
some coffee is okay,
but none of that sweet stuff.
You got it?
[Kyle] Okay,
well thanks for the advice.
-You got it.
-[Kyle] Um,
what would you like to order?
Oh, um, I'll have the fried
shrimp and a large diet coke.
-[Kyle] You got it.
-Oh, shoot, you know what?
Make that a shake. XL.
Chocolate.
-[Kyle] Okay, you got it.
-Okay.
-Kyle's a sweetheart.
-Yeah.
-Hey, you lucky dog.
-[Kyle] There you go, Ms. Riley.
Thank you, thank you!
-There you go, keep the change.
-[Kyle chuckles]
-Keep cool.
-Yes ma'am.
Okay. Can you, uh,
drive my car on over?
-[Chris] Yeah.
-Thanks. I'll take that.
[door slams]
I'm just gonna run in quick
and pick up a couple of things.
-Okay.
-Hey!
Uh, lunch break at your place?
Yeah, sure.
Oh, I love your enthusiasm,
young man. [chuckles]
-I'll see you in a bit.
-Yep.
[Joan]
Hey, Peggy. How's life?
Oh, you know. It is what it is.
Well, good to see you, Peg.
Try and get some rest.
You're gonna need
all your strength.
Yep. Sure thing.
Oh, hey there, Lance, I'm gonna
take the truck with me.
-Thanks again, baby.
-[Lance] You got it.
Hey, when are you gonna come by?
You know we got free drinks
on Saturday night?
[car honking]
[Joan]
So, ready for round two?
[Chris] [sighs] No.
Can we talk for a minute?
Uh, sure.
I, uh, hope it's not about
popping the question
or the L word or something.
No, um, I met someone.
-[Joan] Ah.
-Yeah.
Yeah, so?
[Chris]
She's pretty serious about us.
Oh.
Well, that's fantastic.
So, what do you say?
Ready for round two?
[Chris]
Well, she wants a serious,
committed relationship,
you get it?
And we can't do this.
Actually, I-- I've been trying
to think about how
or if I was even gonna, uh,
but, uh, I know like it--
Like today when--
I mean-- I mean you always
said we-- we were just--
That was a joke, Chris.
-[Chris] Okay.
-That's great news, hon.
I mean, that's--
No, that's-- that's-- that's--
that's really terrific news.
-What's her name?
-Stephanie.
-[Joan] And-- Oh.
-[cell phone ringing]
Hello?
What? Oh.
Oh, no. Where at?
Oh, okay, I'll be right there.
I'm on my way.
-[Chris] What happened?
-Um, that was Zach.
Mom ran away again.
They found her though.
I just, uh, I gotta go.
Do you need help?
[Joan] No, thanks, sweetie.
It's all good.
Um...
Could you just do me a favor
and go get my clothes,
they're in the living room?
[footsteps approaching]
Thanks.
Stephanie's a pretty name.
I'm real happy for you, sweetie.
[Chris] Thanks.
What are you doing, Mom?
I don't like
to be pushed around.
Okay, so who's
pushing you around?
No one.
[Joan] You are very welcome,
it's my pleasure.
Where'd you get that snow cone?
[Martha]
The nice young man in there.
You reckon
he might be interested?
[Joan] Could be, could be.
I don't think so though.
Here we go.
[Martha]
You never can tell, huh?
[Joan] Yep. That's right,
you never can tell.
-What's this?
-This is a truck, Mama.
No shit, I'm not an idiot.
I know that, but I gotta
get back to the dealership.
-[exhales]
-Here, give me the snow cone.
Mama.
[door slams]
[engine starts]
[mellow instrumental]
[heavy rain falling]
[Joan on bullhorn]
Okay, y'all
if I can get every contestant
to the truck.
-All right.
-All right.
-I love you.
-I love you, too.
Want to bring you
something later?
-Surprise me.
-[siren wailing]
[Joan on bullhorn] Come on!
Y'all get on, get on over here.
We're gonna start.
[chattering]
[Joan on bullhorn]
Okay, welcome to the contest,
you lucky ducks.
Somebody's gonna
be walking home
with this truck.
Okay, y'all listen up.
On the hour,
there'll be a five
minute break.
Every six hours, 15 minutes.
Between breaks,
each contestant must always
keep at least one hand
on the vehicle.
No kneeling,
no leaning, no lying down,
no pushing yourself
against the vehicle.
Rules are rules.
Rules are rules.
[Joan on bullhorn]
During the contest,
each contestant
must wear a T-shirt.
-Come on, it's all right.
-Don't touch me.
[Joan]
Uh, oh, and also referees.
Yeah, referees, y'all call me
when something happens
and I'm not on site, okay?
Anytime of the day or night,
you can call Jo.
Okay? All right?
Yeah, okay.
Store that and press save.
Okay, once again, y'all,
when that buzzer sounds,
y'all have one, I repeat--
Hey, y'all have--
You listening? Y'all have one,
one minute to get back
to the truck.
Okay? You got that?
Yes, sir.
Okay. Y'all ready?
Wanna have some fun?
Let's do this thing.
-[cheering & applauding]
-[man] And hands on.
Yes! Who thinks
they're gonna win this truck?.
-All me, baby.
-Me, me, me.
You know it, y'all.
[Joan] Y'all ready
to have a good time?
All right, all right, folks.
The siren sounded,
the game begins.
-[contestant] Yeah.
-We're gonna be here
all the way reporting live
to the bitter end.
I'm fixing to go 100 hours,
Walter?
-Hey, man. Get ready for 120.
-Yeah, sure, wacko.
[indistinct chattering]
We got sleepy, we got hungry, we
got blondie, we got knee brace.
-All right, hey, right here.
-How you doing?
I'm doing good, buddy.
How you doing?
My hand, hold on one second.
-Ooh that was close.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We almost had
a close one there, huh?
Yeah, but it's not coming off,
you can bet your butt.
Okay. So, what's your name,
buddy?
-I'm Derek.
-Okay, Derek.
Well, tell everybody out there
what your plan is.
Uh, well, I'm--
I'm gonna just last longer.
That's it. That's my plan.
Well, you got-- you got
that look in your eye, buddy.
You look pretty confident.
Uh, what makes you
so confident that you're gonna
win this truck.
Well, you know, Lenny, uh,
I've seen pretty much everything
this freaking town has, yes.
In comparison,
this is pretty easy.
I reckon it is. Well, uh,
thank you for your service
and we're wishing you
some good luck.
Thank you, sir,
I appreciate that very much.
-Thank you.
-Watch for Derek.
He might be tough to beat.
Speaking of, tough to beat,
we've got a special treat
for you guys.
Rumor has it, we got
the most popular contestant
right here with me, this
beautiful young lady, Ruthie.
Now, Ruthie, you got a lot of
fans coming to see you,
you got some here already.
Yes, got lots of my friends
from my church here.
-Ruthie!
-[Lenny] Hey y'all!
Speaking 'bout
having a good time,
-Ruthie, good luck, sweetheart.
-[Ruthie] Thank you so much.
[Lenny] All right,
look at this guy, he's fired up.
What's your plan there, buddy?
Uh, jogging.
Right in the camera there.
Uh, exercise,
loosen up the muscles.
Every 15 minute break,
go for a run.
You gotta keep the
circulation going, helps,
uh, keep awake, keep fit.
Okay, where you from, Kev?
Blanchard,
right outside of Shreveport.
Music. Always music.
You know, I don't even
hardly notice time's passing.
It's just everything's just
easier with music, you know?
Gonna have a good time
standing next to this boy, huh?
Oh, yeah.
All right. Well,
I'm gonna be honest with you.
I like this boy's plan
right here.
He might have himself
a good shot.
That's right. You know,
you don't need the Lord
when you have stamina.
Ooh, it's on folks.
It's on.
-Good luck, Kevin. Good luck.
-Thank you.
Smile for just-- Never mind.
Got the ladies already.
Okay, here we go.
First of all, what's your name?
[Kyle] Kyle.
[Lenny] Okay, Kyle, why are
you going to win this truck?
Just look right into
the lens and answer, okay?
Why are you
gonna win this truck?
Because I need it for my family.
Um, my son.
One day,
my kid's gonna have a bike.
I can help my wife
carry some things.
My wife's cousin
has been loaning us
one of his trucks right now.
Gets real old,
always borrowing a truck
when you need one,
so, I'm gonna do it.
Okay, I hear that. I hear that.
Well, let's hear it for Kyle,
our big provider.
-Good luck, buddy.
-[laughing]
Oh, we got the fun bunch
over here, don't we?
[siren wailing in distance]
[Peggy] They hit on me,
they don't even tip me.
I swear if I win,
I'm gonna drive the truck
to the bar and tell them I quit
and then I'm outta here.
Yeah, sure.
Where are you gonna go?
-[Kyle] What?
-Let me guess.
Anywhere, right?
So long as it's far, far away.
As in no plan.
-Seriously, you people--
-[Kyle] Leave her alone.
It's none of your business.
Where are you from anyway?
-I don't know you.
-Save your energy, scout.
[Peggy] It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
Dipshit.
I do not care
for that kind of language.
[Kevin]
Nobody asked.
[contestant]
What's up with him?
[indistinct chattering]
[Joan] Gotta go, Bubba,
see you later.
-Won't take long. Hey.
-Yeah.
Joan get y'all something to eat?
Huh? You a big boy, come on.
Let's put a hot dog in you, man.
Come on. Just follow me.
Walk a little bit quicker
if you don't mind.
Come on, man. Keep up. Shit.
[indistinct chattering]
[siren wailing]
-Hi, Joan.
-Oh, hey.
-How are you today?
-Good and yourself?
Good. Want to join us?
Nah, I'm just part
of the wait staff.
Here to, you know, serve
the Lord through refreshments.
Bible study ain't really
my cup of tea, Clint.
You know,
just all that blah, blah, blah.
I'm just messing with you.
Oh, don't get me wrong.
You know
I love our Lord and Savior.
Father Lyndon is
a great man of God.
-Oh yes, he is.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Mm-hmm.
Yeah, well,
uh, I-- I'll see you later.
Okay, yeah.
Oh, actually, Clint, sorry.
Um, could you take these
and hand them out for me?
I gotta leave early today.
-Sure.
-You gonna stop by on Saturday?
We got free drinks.
I want y'all to come.
Oh, yeah. Well, you see,
here's the thing.
Marianne's kind of pissed
she wasn't picked
for the competition.
Clint, it's a raffle.
She bought that car
from you recently.
-Clint.
-I'm just saying.
It's up to chance. I'm sorry.
I mean, tell your sweetheart
I-- I want to see her there.
I want to see you too.
Well, I'll do the best I can,
but you know how she is.
Clint, it was a used Camry
and this is, what?
-Three years ago?
-[Clint] Just saying, Joan.
[Lyndon] When things are going
hard, when things--
[Clint]
Sorry, I was in the restaurant.
I was talking to Joan,
she gave me some flyers
to pass out, so here.
This is for Boudreaux's
Auto and Truck hands on.
Got a big party Saturday,
supposed to be a lot of fun,
DJ and all that kind of thing.
-This is Saturday?
-[Clint] Yes.
[birds chirping]
[crickets chirping]
[contestant 2]
I bet you. I bet you that.
Hey, hey, Biloxi.
Don't you sweat on my truck now,
you hear? The shine.
[Ronny] But I ain't the only
one sweating here.
-[mocking]
-Hey, boys.
-Yes, ma'am?
-Be nice.
We are, we are,
we just playing, right?
[contestant 3] Regular playing
like regular sports.
Fuck you.
[contestant 3]
That's all it is.
Right, Biloxi?
We're just playing.
[Ronny] Pitiful.
-I'm out, guys.
-[gasping]
Dropped out.
That's what I'm talking about.
Seriously?
-I can't do it no more.
-Ruben, you're leaving?
Bless your heart.
Hey, be careful. Come here.
Here we go.
All right. Didn't he do good?
-[faint applauding]
-He did.
All right, come on now.
We're gonna get ya-- Yeah.
-Take care of yourself.
-Yeah, so long, man.
-[contestant] Bye, Ruben.
-Adios.
[Ruthie]
I hope you feel better, Ruben.
Adios, amigo.
Eighteen more to go.
[Joan] And get somebody to send
some water over, okay, Paul?
[Ronny]
Andale, andale.
[drumming on truck]
Hey!
[drumming continues]
[contestant 5] Please stop
beating on the truck.
Please.
What's up, there? Chillin'?
Sure, yeah.
Did you know I was born
and raised in Mississippi?
So I can take the heat for real.
Shit, man,
I can stand and stand and stand.
No problem.
94 degrees, Ronny stands.
105 degrees, Ronny stands.
Tropical thunderstorms,
Ronny keep on standing.
Hurricane, Ronny--
Ronny is still there.
You see, bro, it's a-- it's
a zen kind of thing, you know?
Not a word.
You didn't see nothing,
understood?
Understood?
You hear me? I need that truck.
Rust, it built up
on the vehicle.
Who left standin'?
Who left standin'?
Who do you think?
-Ronny.
-Ronny.
Yeah. Keep on standing, brother.
Like the song by that bald man,
that Phil Collins.
I'm still standing,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
See you out there, Pete.
[Lenny]
Over here we got Pock and Randy.
What's y'all's strategy
for this contest?
[Bubba] Well, man, you just,
you stand your ground
and you just give 110%.
I mean, that's--
we just, I mean--
We gonna win that truck.
[chuckles]
Well, you can't both
win the truck.
[both] What?
Of course we can, man. We both
got our hands on it, don't we?
Yeah, dude, I mean,
like, are you blind?
It's not like it's rocket
surgery or something.
[laughing]
Well, there you have it folks.
It's not rocket surgery.
[Peggy] Hey, you holding up
all right and everything?
Sure.
[Peggy]
Okay, I was just checking.
[Bubba] Yeah, you can't hunt
with the big dogs,
you might as well get on
the porch with the pups.
[Pock] On the porch
with the little puppers.
[Bubba] I'm patient.
Like a rock, I can wait.
[Pock] God damn, Randy.
You're sure wise.
[contestant] I wanted to trade
it in for an SUV.
For the kids, you know?
I'm real proud of you.
She did great.
It's all right. Good job.
Excuse me, darling.

Oh, no, who? What happened?
Charlie Henderson

Patricia Warren, diarrhea.
Oh, poor girl.
I told her not to eat
that crab sandwich.
-[siren wailing]
-There you go.
What do you think, Paul,
wasn't it the crab sandwich?
What do I care? Good night.
-Good morning.
-Okay.
-[Paul] Whatever.
-Get some sleep.
Walter, go get some rest.
This could be a long one.
You're gonna need
all your strength.
I'm not moving from here.
Well, when you start feeling
that pressure in your bladder,
at least then you're gonna
have to leave the car.
Alrighty then.
Mary, how're them
varicose veins?
[indistinct chattering]
[car approaches]
[door slams]
[Kyle] Hey!
-[Maria] Say hi!
-Hey!
-[Maria] Hi, baby.
-How's it going?
I thought
you'd never come, babe.
Hey, little guy.
-Oh, what are you doing!
-Wow, look at all them trucks.
-I know, right?
-How's it going?
Say hi. Yeah.
You got it fixed? What for?
[Maria]
Well, mama's gotta go to work.
[Kyle] Forget that
piece of shit. Look.
-Oh.
-Over there. That's our car.
-Honey?
-Why are you doing this?
-What?
-Why didn't you just wait?
You don't believe I can do this,
is that it?
You don't think I'm gonna win,
is that-- is that right?
[Maria] Baby, of course,
I think you can win.
-How did you pay for it?
-[Maria] Baby, what's going on?
[sighs] Don't do this.
How'd you pay for it?
-Credit card.
-But that's money we don't have.
-Okay, I know--
-How much, how much?
-It wasn't that much.
-How much?
It wasn't that much! It's 480.
But baby, look at me,
look at me. Think about it.
We're gonna get rid
of that thing anyway.
It's gonna be worth more
if it's running, right?
Right?
-You must be tired.
-I'm gonna win that truck.
All right, you gotta trust me.
Okay.
[Kyle babbling]
-Baby?
-What?
-Give me your hands.
-Hmm?
Put one hand right here,
come on.
Thanks, baby.
[country music]
[Lenny] Not the crazy rain,
not the lack of sleep,
not a tornado,
not even a typhoon
is gonna stop this contest.
I'm starting to feel--
I've got a good feeling
about a couple of people.
[overlapping singing
and chatting]
[woman] Ronny! Ronny!
Whoo! Ronny!
[Lenny] I've got some
pretty important car tips
for you, so listen up.
[Joan]
Okay, Lenny, now you know
I can't show any favoritism.
I love them all.
Okay folks, listen up.
What has 355 HP, a V-8 engine,
the most efficient in its class,
and still manages
to look stunning?
Y'all, come on down
and see for yourself here
at Boudreaux's Auto and Truck
at 26th and Shanklin.
[Chris] Hey, man.
I know it's getting hot.
Not to worry, folks.
This has always been a special
point in the past few years.
Moment of truth!
Next few hours though, y'all
will be completely over it.
Same thing every year.
Hang in there.
[mellow folk music]
Whoa, chill out bro.
[whistling]
[Lenny]
Sorry, Peter, but you're out.
Peter?
What?
You took your hands off
the truck, man.
Yeah, right.
No, no, I'm-- I'm serious.
You took your hands off
the truck while you were beating
the rhythm, brother. You're out.
Are you--
are you shitting me?
No, I'm not shitting you.
-You took them off.
-You are-- you are shitting me.
I saw it.
No, I'm not shitting you, Peter.
-Look, let's go. Hey, hey--
-Come on, man, look, man,
I didn't take my hands off
the truck.
Look, man, all I was doing
was just beating out the rhythm.
I don't make the rules,
but you need to go.
Man, no. I'm in great shape,
man, I'm in great shape, guys.
-It's fine.
-Step away from it, man--
I've been going for days, man.
Hey, honey,
I'm sorry, it's the rules.
Let's go, Peter.
I'm not taking
my hands off the truck.
[indistinct yelling]
You know what? You ain't nothing
but a stupid--
You're gonna regret it, dude!
You're all a bunch
of fucking assholes!
Scram, B!
Every single fucking one of you.
[man]
Be nice, man!
[Peter] Big bunch of fucking
jerkoff fucking assholes.
-It's a fucking lie.
[referee] We got it on camera.
Oh, shit!
[Peter]
Fuck you! Fuck you!
You're all nothing but
a big ol' bag of fucking dicks.
[Ronny] Hey, Pete,
I'm still standin', brother!
[Peter] Hey, Ronny,
hey, Ronny. Fuck you!
-Bye, Pete!
-Hey, Biloxi, you're next!
Okay, we got it on camera.
We got that-- we got
the whole exchange on camera.
-Okay.
-[producer] So if you need me
to play it back for any reason,
we can get that for you.
[Joan] Thank you.
All right, back to it now.
-[applauding]
-[woman] Whoo!
Whatcha thinking
about over there?
Thinking about
that sweet wife of yours?
I wonder who's watching after
while you're standing here.
-[squeaking noises]
-[woman] What is wrong with you?
Kevin, you usually have
more fun with that hand
than you're having today,
am I right?
Shut the fuck up.
Don't start me.
[phone clicking]
[Joan]
Day and night.
Brand new tricked out truck
over at Boudreaux's?
Oh wait, where did you
say you're from again?
The-- The dealership at 26th
and Shanklin? Oh, never mind.
Anyway, anyway, anyway,
we do this every year
and it is such a blast.
Tonight, we're gonna
have music and dancing.
We got a live DJ coming in.
You want to come by?
You never even heard about this?
-[Richard] No, I haven't.
-Come on. Hands up.
-[Richard] No.
-Seriously?
-[Richard] Seriously.
-How is that even possible?
Isn't it dangerous?
I mean, to leave a bunch
of people standing out
in the heat without any sleep?
No. No, it's a blast.
It's a blast.
And first of all there's a tent
and, uh, really they can leave
anytime they want 'cause you
take part of your own free will.
It's totally voluntary.
Just come on by tonight.
You'll see for yourself.
You want to come?
Okay.
It's such a blast,
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you. It is.
Yeah, for real. For real.
So how long
you been living here?
Uh, uh, forever.
Yeah, we moved here
when I was eight.
-And do you have children?
-[Joan] Yeah, yeah.
One-- one daughter, Melissa.
Yeah, I'm real proud of her.
She just started college.
-Around here?
-[Joan] Florida State.
Tallahassee. Go Seminoles.
Nice, but not exactly
around the corner.
-You must miss her.
-Yeah, well.
[Richard]
I know what you're saying.
Three kids myself,
they mean the whole world to me,
but sadly they're scattered
throughout the country.
-Yep.
-Well,
nowadays every place is
within traveling distance.
I mean, you still get
to see your babies, right?
Sure, on holidays and stuff.
[Joan] Well, I just got
a new credit card
that's real good on miles.
Just, yeah, started collecting.
That wouldn't work for me.
I don't see my kids that often.
So, why do you do online dating?
-[Joan] What do you mean?
-[laughing]
[sighs] It doesn't matter.
Thank you.
-Ooh, don't that look good.
-Sure you don't want any?
Oh, no, thanks.
Hey, Richard,
you wrote in that online thing
that you like to go horseback
riding in your free time.
Yes.
[Joan] Can you take me
with you sometime?
-You ride?
-[Joan] No, I mean not exactly,
but right now in the parking lot
at Boudreaux's,
they have one of
those crazy bull rides.
Do you know those? Those little,
uh, mechanical bull things?
Oh, my God, you gotta see this.
You gotta come back.
You're gonna come by, right?
Because I have perfected
this contest.
[Charlie]
Hey, Joan, how's it going?
Good, Charlie. Excellent.
[upbeat pop music]
[indistinct chattering]
[woman]
Come on, Ruthie, you can do it!
We're praying for you!
All right, folks,
we're in the thick of it now.
Hands On 'bout to hit
the 40 hour mark.
Expecting this thing
to go over 100 hours, huh?
I know I can hear y'all
out there. Y'all stay with us.
Come back tomorrow
and be sure to check out
all our amazing deals on
certified pre-owned vehicles.
Ask for me directly, Bubba.
I'll be here all evening
and tomorrow...
[boy] Daddy, daddy!
Here, here!
[Bubba] Also, to the owner
of a 1998 Buick--
[Brian] Why don't we just
move around the truck?
Stretch out our legs a little,
what do you think?
You just circle around together.
Of course, keep one hand
on the truck. All right?
[contestant]
He's suggesting we loosen up
by walking around the truck.
Not me. I'm staying right here.
Right here.
[contestant]
Come on, Walter.
[Ruthie]
It'll do us all some good.
You too, Mr. Walter.
We need to loosen up
our legs a little bit.
Walter, Walter, not gonna move.
I'm staying right here.
[Brian] All right.
Walter is staying right here.
-That's right.
[Brian]
You gonna miss the exercise.

-[Pock] Hey, you suck!
[belching]
[Kevin]
Kyle, your wife, oof.
She is one hot tamale. Nice ass.
Tell me, how'd you get
a girl like that anyway?
Frisky.
[Kevin laughing]
Don't make me,
don't make me
Excuse me.
Watch the hands, ref.
[Ruthie]
Keep moving, y 'all.
He's hot.
What happened, tell us!
What happened?
Uh, well, you know, sparks
were flying from the start.
-We just clicked, so.
-Oh, Joan, that's great.
I mean, we'll see,
we'll see, we'll see.
[woman]
Did you bring him here tonight?
No. I wouldn't have
time for him.
I mean, look around you. Right?
How many times
are we going around, Bryan?
[Kevin] As many as it takes,
Walter. As many as it takes.
[Brian]
Exercise, Walter, exercise.
We're here to choose,
I got the juice
[Kevin] Keep going or
we can hang out right here.
[contestant]
Come on now.
You already going,
the club already jumpin'
It's getting hot in here
Okay. I'm gonna make my rounds,
but y'all keep drinkin'.
-All right.
-Thank you!
-All right.
-Cheers.
That's why we talkin',

He said I like you too
That's why we talkin'

Tucked in the hip
He don't really play
Rockin' Gucci shades
In an Escalade
[indistinct lyrics]
He got ice in his grill
The soldier got a smile
that'll give you a chill
[electronic country music]
Fuck it. Fuck it.
I'm out.
Fuck this shit. I'm out.
[woman] Cory, no honey.
Where are you going?
[Cory]
I'm getting a beer.
[Pock] He said fuck that shit,
I'm out. [laughing]
Constantly with the F word.
I can't take it anymore.
-Clean up your attitude, men!
-[Pock] Oh, poor Ruthie.
What, do you have virgin
ears or something?
[Walter]
Shut up!
[Bubba] Oh, looks like
Cory left the truck.
It's dwindling down
and it's dwindling down.
We still got a good
number left, folks,
but we are getting ever closer
to somebody driving home
in that brand spankin' new
Matterhorn 220
pick' em up truck.
That was good, Joan!
Great job, great job.
Ms. Joan Riley, everyone,
Ms. Joan Riley!
She's our very own
Annie Oakley right there!
All right.
Let me show y'all how it's done!
All right. Here we go, boss.
Caw-caw, caw-caw.
[Joan]
Hey, Jerry, Margaret.
Hey, won't you stay
a little bit longer?
All right, see y'all.
Hey, where are you going?
-[man] It's raining, Joan.
-It's only a drizzle y'all.
This is when
the excitement starts.
Becky, hey, you want to get
another drink with me?
Oh, just one more.
Glad we're getting to do
this instead of having fun
and partying like
everybody else today.
[Joan] Hey, Clint,
where you going, huh?
I know you ain't tired.
Hey, you wanna see tired?
Take a look
at those contestants.
They need us.
We gotta stay, right?
Sorry, Joan. No offense.
See you in church on Sunday?
-Yeah, I'll see you in church.
-[Clint] Good luck!
Bye, Marianne.
O, say does-- Can you see
By the dawn's early light
Wait, what is it again?
-O say can you see.
-Okay, okay.
-O, say can you--
-O, say can you see--
-Sorry.
-You start it, you start it.
O, say can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's
last gleaming
Whose broad stripes
and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts
we watched
Were so gallantly
streaming?
And the rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through
the night
That our flag
was still there
O say does
that star-spangled
Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
[Ruthie] Whoo!
And the home of the
Brave
[crickets chirping]
Everything okay?
Break's coming soon, Peggy.
No sleep until then.
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay?
Mm.
Oh.
[urine dripping]
Oh.
Oh, honey.
[Ruthie]
Peggy. Oh, sweetheart.
Peggy, honey,
you want us to call somebody?
[contestant]
Look at that.
Just let her wander off alone
in the middle of the night.
Peggy, where are you going?
[contestant 2] Just wake me up
if anything happens.
[man]
Hey, Peggy, you all right?
[Joan]
Okay, y'all. Hour 42.
Y'all are doing great.
Just hang on, get some rest.
Y'all got enough to eat?
Mary, did you get the little,
um, what's the thing?
-The thingy thing for the leg?
-[Mary] Yeah.
[Joan] Okay, good,
because that's gonna help.
Your daughter's so cute.
Okay. Walter,
you can sit down, honey.
-Cup.
-What?
-Cup.
-You want some water?
-No, cup.
-[Joan] You just want the cup?
Mm-hmm. [clears throat]
[Ruthie]
Oh, man.
He just pissed in the cup.
He's been pissing in a bag.
That is disgusting.
[Ronny] That's nasty, Walter,
that's nasty.
-That is nasty.
-Please?
[Kyle] Peggy.
[train whistle blaring]
Peggy!
Hey, you asswipe.
You are not winning that truck,
do you hear me?
-You let it go.
-You want to fucking go?
You want to fucking go?
Whoa, chill.
What are you, crazy?
[laughing]
[siren wailing]
[Ruthie] "Believest thou this.
She said, yes Lord.
I believe that thou art
the Christ,
the Son of God,
who should come to this world.
And when she had so said,
she went her way,
And called her sister, Mary.
The teachers here, she said...
[murmuring]
When Mary heard--
[Ruthie mumbling]
[Brian laughing]
[Ruthie]
... comforting her,
noticing how quickly
she cut everyone out.
They followed her, supposing
she was going to the tomb
to mourn him."
[Brian giggling]
-[contestants chuckling]
-[Ruthie praying]
What?
[Ruthie chuckling]
Stop.
[contestants laughing]
[Ruthie laughing while praying]
What? What're you laughing...
What you laughing about? 'Ey.
Dude, you [indistinct], man.
-[Ruthie] Stop.
-What is he--
What is he laughing about?
[laughing continues]
[contestant]
Oh, shit!
-Hey, hey, guys, Walter fell.
-What!
Hey, Walter's down, I'm serious!
-[Joan] Walter?
-[Chris] Walter?
[Joan]
Walter! Oh, my God, Chris!
-[Chris] Yeah, yeah I'm coming.
-[Joan] Walter?
[Chris] Can you hear me?
Walter!
[Joan] He just fell,
he just went crashing down.
-Walt?
-I don't know.
Is it Walter?
[Chris] Don't know anybody.
You all right?
-[Chris] You all right?
[Joan] Just call 911.
[Chris] Okay, Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Is he breathing?
All right, buddy,
we're calling 911 for you.
[woman]
Somebody do something.
Hey, we're at Boudreaux's
26th and Shanklin Hands On
contest and we got a dude
that just straight fell out.
[Ronny] Walter.
[man]
Walter. Talk to me, buddy.
Uh, he's on the pavement
in front of the truck.
Yeah, he's breathing.
He's just not waking up.
He'd been up for,
like, two days.
-Walter?
-He never took a break.
Are you sending somebody?
[Joan]
His eyes are opening now.
[Bubba] All right,
his eyes are open now.
-Walter?
-[Bubba] Okay, thank you, ma'am.
-Hey, hey, sweetie.
-Walter, are you with us?
[Joan] Hey,
do you know you are, sweetie?
Walter, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
[Bubba] His eyes are open,
he's all right.
[Chris] Hey, buddy, they're
sending an ambulance, okay?
[Joan]
Walter, can you hear me?
[man]
Be careful with him.
[Chris]
You want something to drink?
-You know where you are?
-Yeah.
-[Chris] Like a cup of water?
-Yeah.
-Okay, let's get him water.
-Somebody get him a water.
I just kind of wish it wouldn't
have been Walter though
because he's been standing
his ground the whole time.
I'm glad you're not dead.
You held out a long time, man.
[Randy] That is a positive now
that there's less now,
so it's almost over.
You need a beverage
or some M&M's?
[Ronny] You gotta get up, man.
Come on, now.
[Chris]
Yup, nothing to be ashamed of.
[Pock]
Rules is rules, Walter.
Y'all remember
to take your breaks.
Where-- where's Derek?
-Where's Derek at?
-Derek?
Did he just leave?
6.2 liter.
426 horsepower. V-8.
I reckon you like some serious
oomph on the hood, right?
Flex them muscles a bit?
Why don't we, uh,
step into my office?
Check out the blue book
on that trade in you got.
[Joan exhaling]
[train whistle blaring]
[jazz music]
-Hey, stranger.
-Hey there.
How's Walter doing?
Y'all get any word?
Yeah, he's a little bit better.
They're keeping him
in the hospital overnight
just to monitor him.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
-What happened to your hand?
-Oh, casualty of war.
-No.
-What?
Pock and Randy got in a fight,
-me and Ruth had to break it up.
-What?
-This morning.
-What happened?
Yeah, well, actually,
uh, they were joking around.
You know,
kind of delirious, you know,
um, just poking at each
other and all that stuff.
But then Pock,
like, started smacking him
on the ass and like,
gave him a titty twister.
Yeah, I know,
like infantile shit like that,
kind of funny at the time,
but Randy wasn't having it
and Pock wasn't gonna stop.
And then suddenly, they're
just shoving on each other
and going at it. Randy has
got him in a damn headlock--
-No shit.
-No shit.
Okay. Look. Lenny took this.
Was it during
the break or was it--
No, this was during
the real thing and basically
they-- they knocked
themselves out the running.
[Lenny]
Best friends here.
- You suck.
-[Joan] Is this the slip-up?
-[Chris] It's escalating.
What are you gonna do,
son of a--
-That's it.
-[Joan] Well, there it is.
[Joan gasping]
[Chris] So here I'm coming in
right there, ref comes over,
but we get him up.
Or we think he's done,
but no, that ain't it.
What's so funny, motherfucker?
What's your problem?
Better get
the fuck out my face--
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Whoa, whoa!
What is wrong with you?
What is wrong with you?
-[Chris] Dropped the N-bomb.
-[Joan] No--
Somebody tried to pull me
off the truck, man.
[Chris]
Yeah. Yeah.
-Several times.
-[Joan] Oh, my God.
-Get the fuck out of here!
-What he said.
-Is he okay?
-Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I guess.
But you know. Shit.
-Poor guy.
-It's all right.
It's okay. I'm gonna go
and I'll go check on him--
-Cool.
-Yeah, it'll be okay.
Hey, don't post that
or anything.
-Please.
-[Chris] No, course not.
[announcer] Well, we want
somebody to win here
at Boudreaux's
and that somebody is you.
So maybe it's time to get rid
of that old rust bucket
you're driving now
and climb into something new
or ever so slightly
pre-owned with zero down
and zero interest
for the first three months.
Y'all will be turning heads
every time you turn that corner
starting today. We got
guaranteed easy financing
and an easy approval process.
And remember, for every new
vehicle
that drives off this lot today,
we'll throw in your
first five oil changes free.
Y'all like free, don't you?
Huh?
[door opens, closes]
[thudding]
[sighs]
You don't get it, do you?
You know,
even if you do win this truck,
and you're not going to,
you're still gonna be
the idiot who had to stand
around a truck for days
because he couldn't afford
to buy one for himself.
You know why people
come here and watch us?
It's a show.
It's a really good show.
Then you're also an idiot.
Yeah, but I don't care.
That's the difference.
I do this professionally
and I'm also really
fucking good at it.
But you,
no matter what you do,
you, uh, you always stay
the idiot.
That is just the way it is.
Hands on! See you out there.
[chatter]
[hands clapping
and feet stomping]
[chatter continues]
[honking]
Hey!
-Hey, baby.
-Hey.
-How you doing? You okay?
-Yeah, I'm good.
They blocked everything here
'cause more press is coming.
You can park over there.
Oh, I don't think we can stay.
The little guy's been acting up.
He's just so tired.
Mm. Hey there, little buddy.
[Maria] He didn't sleep much
last night.
-Coming tomorrow?
-Yeah, we'll try.
But if I can pick up a shift,
then...
'Cause we need the money
right now.
Yeah, I know.
Well, I'mma come later on.
-[siren wailing]
-I have to go.
Kyle.
Baby, it's only a car.
Bye.
I love you.
[announcer] And when y'all
just come talk to me, Bubba,
or Chris, y'all probably seen
Chris walking,
and he's a squat little fella,
but he's honest as the day
is long and y'all don't tell him
I said that because
he is sensitive, ain't he?
Yeah, y'all know,
he knows. Yeah.
Anyway, I'm just kidding.
We love Chris around here,
I'd trust him with my wife
if I had one.
But again,
I just want to thank y'all
for coming down
to Boudreaux's Auto and Truck
where you don't trade in,
you trade up.
Enjoy the show and don't forget
to do old Bubba a flavor.
If you set a paper cup down,
pick it up.

[Ruthie continues whispering]
[Kevin] Kyle.
You know, I was curious.
Did she get used to the smell
of cheeseburgers
and French fries
when you come home at night?
[Ruthie] Cut it out, Kevin.
[Kevin] I had a talk with her
last night. Real sweetheart.
-Doll.

Maria, Maria.
Really beautiful name.

Kyle?

That-- that ain't--
that ain't possible.
That ain't possible.
He's lying on the ground. K.O.,
just around the corner,
he ain't moving.
Kyle, just-- just-- just stop.
He ain't moving.
He was bleeding so much.
He's--

Fuck.
He just came out of nowhere,
I don't know.
Here. Drink some water.
Andy, I think I need to go
to the hospital.
Jesus Christ, Kevin.
Don't be such a fucking pussy.
All right, just hang in there.
We're almost there.
We're winning that truck.
[Joan] I brought us food.
Chili rellenos.
Not hungry.
With beef and dirty rice,
Mom, you like them.
-[Mama] Not hungry.
-You gotta eat, Mom.
-[Mama] Nope.
-Come on, Mom, I'm in a rush.
-[Mama] Already ate.
-What?
Oh, I see Zach already
got stuff for y'all to eat.
You already ate with Zach?
I didn't know that.
[quietly]
Communication breakdown.
[Mama] Melissa brought it.
-What? What did you say?
-[Mama] Melissa brought it.
Mom, Zach always brings you
Chinese,
almost every single day.
[Mama] Nope, it was Melissa.
-That's not possible.
-[Mama] Why not?
'Cause Melissa doesn't live
here anymore.
-[Mama] What?
-She doesn't live here anymore.
[Mama] Well,
where does she live?
You know exactly where
she lives, Mom, in Florida.
-[Mama] What?
-In Tallahassee?
-[Mama] What, what-a-hassee?
-Tallahassee, Mom!
Tallahassee, Florida?
Yes, and now
I'm completely alone.
My goodness, that is far away.
Yeah. Yeah, it's far. It's far.
Florida?
Her age,
what does she want in Florida?
Down there is only
retired people and wackos.
-You know that, right?
-What?
That there are only
nut jobs down there?
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
You're absolutely right
about that.
We have to get her out of there.
-Mom, she's in college.
-No-- Oh, really?
They're crazy down there.
I'll help you.
All right, let's do it. Eh?
How many tanks
do we need to get there?
[Joan laughs]
I don't know.
190 to the 10, all the way.
190 to 10. 190 to 10.
[crickets chirping,
faint chattering]
[ ] No squatting
or leaning on the car.
-Sorry, Kathy.
-Seriously?
I've been standing here
for four days.
I can't even fucking squat?
I'm sorry, Kathy.
But these are the rules.
Is everything okay, Ruth?
-Are you okay?
-[Ruth vomits]
-[all exclaiming]
-Oh, God.
[Ruth] No! Oh, God, oh, no, no,
no, oh, God, no.
Ruth, Ruth, what's wrong?
What's the matter?
Oh, no! Oh, God, oh, God, no,
I am-- I am so sorry.
I didn't mean
for this to happen.
Oh, dear God,
please forgive me.
I'm so sorry, honey.
It's over, it's time to go.
No, no!
Yes, you took your hands
off the truck.
No, I-- I had to keep my hands
on the truck.
-It's over. It's over, Ruth.
-[babbling] I don't wanna go.
Look, look, look,
let's go sit down.
Let's-- Look, calm down,
calm down. I know, I know.
I know, you had to,
but I'm sorry.
[Ruthie crying]
[referee] Calm down.
Calm yourself down.
[Kathy] Everything okay, Kyle.
Are you okay?
Everything okay?
What's up? What?

[insects buzzing]
He's a fucking mess.
Fucking cheating fuck.

Y'all? Y'all, come with me,
Come inside, okay?
-[Kevin] What's going on?
-Uh...
You can take your hands
off the truck now, okay?
[Kevin] Yeah, right.
No, no, I'm serious.
It's for your own safety.
So, can you-- can you please
just-- just step away
from the car now-- now.
Okay? Please.
-[man] We're not allowed.
-Yes, yes, you're allowed.
I'm giving you permission.
There's-- There's a little
something going on over there
and I'm a little worried
about your safety.
So, can you come
with me now, please?
Maybe we should
listen to Joan, guys.
-Now, now, now.
-[Kathy] Mm.
Mm.
Okay, Larry.
[Joan] It's okay,
Brian, come on. Here we go.
Come on, Brian.
All right, sweetie,
go follow him.
Go sit down.
Can you take her home?
-Yes, ma'am.
-Okay, y'all get in there
and close the door
and nobody leaves that room.
Do you understand me?
And-- and close the--
the-- the blinds.
[siren wailing]
[Joan] 20 people stand around
a pickup truck, day and night.
A brand new, tricked out truck.
And the last one
standing wins the truck.
[officer]
Put the weapon down!
Put the weapon down!
Hands in the air!
Do it, Kyle!
Raise your hands.
Come on, Kyle.
Put the weapon down!
-[indistinct yelling]
-Put it down!
[Joan] People swing by to watch
and there's parties, TV's there.
And um, next year, we're going
to have even more prizes.
[gunshot]
[soft tense music]
I just had a feeling.
I mean, it was already
weird in the afternoon
when I-- when I left.
Something wasn't right with him,
but I had to leave
to see my mom.
[officer] What do you think?
What-- What was going on?
I don't know, I don't know.
He didn't-- he didn't make it.
He really wanted that truck.
Did he really need
a new car so bad?
[Joan] Yeah.
No...
He really needed to win,
I guess.
[birds chirping]
[radio]
... 2-11, where you at?
[officer] I'm on the way.
-Bringing Joan Riley home.
-[radio] Who?
[officer] Joan Riley, she works
for the car dealership.
[radio] Okay, 10-4.
Where is she studying?
[Roan] Uh, Florida. Tallahassee.
-Jonas is eight.
-[Joan] What's he like?
Oh, he's a serious little guy.
[laughs]
He likes animals,
especially sick ones.
Always trying to heal them.
[Joan] He sounds like
a real sweet little boy.
[officer] Yeah, he is.
So tell me about Melissa.
Um, she plays the guitar.
She got a real pretty
singing voice.
And I miss her every day.
[officer]
Yeah. Crazy how time flies.
Yeah, you think they'll
always stay your baby, right?
I thought she was gonna be
a baby forever.
And then she just
became a whole person.
Herself.
[contemplative
instrumental music]
[panting & moaning]
Yeah, yeah...
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
[Maria] I'm gonna go get some
water, you want some, baby?
[Kyle] No, I'm good.
[Maria]
How was the job interview?
[Kyle] They ain't
got nothing right now.
They're gonna let me know
as soon as they need somebody.
[Maria]
Well, can I call my cousin?
-Luis?
-[Maria] Yeah.
Why?
Yeah because he's always
looking for hands.
He's got a big move
coming up, so...
Sure.
-[Maria] Huh?
-Sure.
[engine sputtering]
Shit.
[sighs]
-[Kyle] Hey.

Good, good. Diapers, huh?
Yeah.
I remember those days.
What size is he now?
-A four.
-That's a big boy.
Yeah, yeah,
he's growing great.
Hey, um,
I appreciate the opportunity.
Bringing me in tomorrow.
I really do.
You bet, man.
Bring your work gloves.

All right. Shit.
-[Luis] Yeah.
-All right.
[car motor rumbling]
-What you doing here, boy?
-Going home, sir.
-On foot?
-Car broke down.
You ain't out here looking

[coughing]
[truck] Oh, man,
I think I caught a cold.
Oh, yeah? What happened?
[truck] Into the showroom,
out of the showroom.
You sweat out here
in the parking lot
then you freeze in the AC.
I'm sensitive
to temperature shifts, man.
Sorry to hear that.
[truck] Thanks, buddy.
But what can you do?
It's not that bad.
How are you, my friend?
-What's new?
-Not much? Same old.
[truck]
Listen, promise me one thing.
[Kyle] Let's hear it.
[truck] Drive to the coast
with me when you've won.
-Down to the gulf?
-[Kyle] Sure.
[truck] Nice. Just you and me.
-Yeah, and Maria and James.
-[truck] Maria and James?
-Yeah.
[truck] Right.
As if you were
some kind of help to them.
A package deal. Sorry.
[truck] Whatever.
Do what you gotta do, big guy.
Oh, man. We'll see the gulf,
the beach. Nice.
Or we could just drive
around for the hell of it,
for fun, you know?
Or riding for the feeling
Riding for the feeling
Is the fastest way
to reach the shore
On water or land
Riding for the feeling
Riding for the feeling
Riding for the feeling
How's it going? Ah!
Oh, my God.
[car honks]
All right?
I gotta go. Hasta Manana.
[baby fussing]
Hey there, little man. Yeah.
Mama's right over there.
Bye, Greg.
See you tomorrow.
["Golden Brown"
by Bedhead playing]
Golden Brown texture
like sun
Lays me down
with my mind she runs
Throughout the night,
no need to fight
Never a frown
with Golden Brown
Every time
just like the last
On her ship tied
to the mast
To distant lands,
takes both my hands
Never a frown
with Golden Brown
Golden Brown,
finer temptress
Through the ages
she's heading west
From far away,
stays for a day
Never a frown
with Golden Brown
Never a frown,
never a frown
With Golden Brown
Never a frown,
never a frown
With Golden Brown
Never a frown,
never a frown
With Golden Brown
Never a frown,
never a frown
