O Brother, Where Art Thou?2000

[Big Dan, Everett, and Delmar are having a picnic lunch]

Big Dan Teague:
Thank you, boys, for throwin' in that fricassee. I'm a man of large appetites. Even with lunch under my belt, I was feeling a mite peckish.

Everett:
It's our pleasure, Big Dan.

Big Dan Teague:
Thank you as well for the conversational hiatus. I generally refrain from speech during gustation. There are those who attempt both at the same time. I find it coarse and vulgar. Where were we?

Delmar:
Makin' money in the Lord's service.

Big Dan Teague:
You don't say much friend, but when you do, it's to the point and I salute you for it. Yes, Bible sales. Now, the trade is not a complicated one. There are but two things to learn. One: being where to find a wholesaler. The word of God in bulk, as it were. Two: how to recognize your customer. Who are you dealing with? It's an exercise in psychology, so to speak. And it is that which I propose to give you a lesson in right now. [snaps a branch off a nearby tree]

Everett:
Well, I like to think I'm an astute observer of the human scene, too, Big Dan.

Big Dan Teague:
No doubt, brother. I figured as much back at the restaurant. That's why I invited you all out here for this advanced tutorial. [hits Delmar with the branch]

Everett:
What's goin' on, Big Dan?

Big Dan Teague:
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, BOYS! THAT'S IT! [Delmar grab's Big Dan's leg; Big Dan knocks Delmar out with the branch] Gol... durned... MONEY!

Everett:
I don't get it, Big Dan. [Big Dan yells and knocks Everett unconscious with the branch]

Big Dan Teague:
I'll just take your show cards... [pulls a wad of money out of Everett's pocket; Delmar jumps onto Big Dan, but Big Dan swings him around and throws him to the ground] ...and whatever ya got in the hole. [opens the shoebox and is dismayed to see the toad inside] What the...? There ain't nothin' but a damn toad.

Delmar:
No, you don't understand. That's Pete. [Big Dan takes the toad out of the shoebox] Pete...

Big Dan Teague:
You know these things give ya warts? [squashes the toad in his hand, then throws it against the tree] End of lesson. So long, boys. [chuckles mockingly] See ya in the funny papers. Y'all seen the end of Big Dan Teague. [gets in the car and drives away, leaving Everett and Delmar battered on the ground]
