[Bud is interviewing for a job at the oil refinery where Uncle Bob works] Bud Davis, huh?
Bud:
My, my full name is Buford Uon Davis, but nobody calls me Buford 'cept my Grandmother, and she's half Indian. My initials are B.U.D., it spells Bud.
Plant Supervisor:
[mildly annoyed] I can spell, boy. [looks at application more closely] Which pipeline? There ain't one in Spur.
Bud:
Yes there is. Came in last Spring. I was workin' on insulatin' it. Uncle Bob told me you was hiring, so I thought I'd come and check it out.
Plant Supervisor:
Most of our insulating we contract out. But I can start you as a general helper. A flunky, a gofer.You know what a gofer is, boy?
Bud:
I think it means, you know, "go for" things. [pause] Or it could mean you're an animal.
Plant Supervisor:
Around here they're on the same level. Start you at the bottom. You work up. [Looks at Bud intensely] I wanna tell you one thing. You're gettin' this job because of your Uncle Bob. He's been here a long time and he's a damn good man. [pause] I'll tell you one thing more. You're gonna have to lose that beard. It's regulation if you have to wear any kind of a fresh-air mask.
