We drove out to where you told us those doctors gave you this stuff, but, um, they weren’t there. That’s not my fault.

They were never there.
I mean, that road, it was so overgrown, we couldn’t even get the pickup down it.

I know you can’t get this stuff just anywhere.
It needs to be refrigerated.
Somebody, they took care of this for a long time, and if they’ve got something as rare as this…

Remember that guy and his family came through here a while back?
The kid had leukemia, uh, and they were looking for this group of doctors that traveled around in a mobile clinic?
Well, I remember. I sat down with him. He showed me his map.
These doctors, they take the same route every time, and they make the same stops.
I think that I know where they are, and if I leave right now, I can catch them before they move on.
They could be dead by now if they even existed to begin with.

“You Are So Beautiful” by the one and only Joe Cocker.
Probably the greatest love ballad ever written.

there was this guy.
This guy, he had, uh — he had one of those voices you can’t unhear.
Yeah, it was like, um, my brain had been hijacked, and I can’t — I can’t think anymore.
Anyway, he is talking and laughing while the song is playing, being completely obnoxious.
So my beautiful wife, Lucille, she gets up, goes over to where he is, and politely asks him if he could keep it down so she could hear her song.
Well, let’s just say he chose poorly.
So now I gotta get up.
And I go over, and I tell him that he owes me 50 cents
Turns out that this prick has kids that go to the school that I teach gym at.
Needless to say, the school was… unthrilled.
I get fired. This guy sues me.
I don’t have a job, so now my wife has to pay his medical bills.
So, t-the point of this is, there were consequences to me seeing red.
Seeing red was a bad thing then.
I was a bad man…then.
But, see, now, nobody’s suing anybody.
Nobody’s gettin’ fired. Hell, nobody’s keeping score.
