how're you doing? wayne westerberg.
seems like every time i come on this road, there's somebody hitching out here who looks as skinny and unfed as you.
look, i gotta stop in ethridge to drop something off
how `bout you and i grab something to eat down there?
how long has it been since you've had anything to eat?
well, there's no choice about it. i'm gonna get you some dinner.
so where is it you're headed?
yeah, i used to have a girlfriend who'd go there, camp on the black feet res. she was into all that american indian stuff.
i can bring you to the border at sweet grass once you've had some food.
well, i do a lot of things. computer programming. video game repair. i'm a licensed pilot, own a grain elevator in carthage and another one a few miles out of town. but in the summertime i run a combine crew, follow the harvest from texas way the hell north to the canadian border. we just got done cutting barley for coors and anheuser busch. but then i got this little black box deal on the side
you said it, not me.
those are my hudderites. agriculture's a pretty transient business. these guys come off the hudderite colony looking for work. i always got work for people. then that guy -
that's kevin. he's with me most of the time. he's not a hudderite. he's from madison.
listen, you don't want to go out there on the road tonight. why don't you just roll your sleeping bag out and play like a hudderite until morning.
get a good sleep. see you in the morning.
okay. now take hold of the joystick, get the feel of header, idle it down with the toggle switch.
that's it. that's it. now take it on out and make yourself some money.
i'm gonna break out some whiskey. alex, you want anything other than that beer?
i haven't got anything like that here. but i tell ya what. and i know i speak for everybody. you wanna come work with us in carthage, we'll hook you up on the grain elevator and get you a white russian down at the cabaret.
dawn tomorrow, engines roaring. "pot o gold. oh that pot o gold."
okay kevin, get all the machines back to the elevator. i'm gonna show chris to his room.
first come, first serve buddy. wayne signs off and veers off the road.
come on up in here. this'll be your room for as long as you hang about.
shower's down the hall. if you hurry you can beat the rest of the boys to it. but you do want to grab a shower cause we're all heading over to the cabaret in exactly thirty-six minutes. so, get your dancing shoes on. there's foo-foo in the medicine cabinet. i think it's brut. then you want to put your charm in overdrive cause we like to pah-tay!
alex, this is gail . this is the one to go to for that white russian you've been wanting. of course the quid pro quo can be hazardous.
yes please, ma'am?
ain't he great?
anything to do with hunting, preserving the meat, smoking it or whatever, you talk to kevin over there. that's your man.
outdoors-man. what's the interest in all that?
alaska, alaska? or city alaska? the city alaska does have markets.
in the wild.
society, right.
who "people" we talking about?
this is a mistake. it's a mistake to get too deep into that kind of stuff. alex, you're a helluva young guy, but i promise you this: you're a young guy. blood and fire! you're juggling blood and fire!
blood and fire. what? mr. happy. that's who i am. gimme a kiss.
come on, give mr. happy a kiss!
workin' time!
so, what do you think about all this?
i gotta take a piss.
you wanna get that zipper for me? sorry boys. gonna have to shut down for a while. alex! you come back and work for me anytime. gail's got all your checks, guys. i shouldn't be away too long.
