J.D.! Just tell me. I know you're not some schoolboy. Now come on, nobody ever tells me shit.
I'm just some guy. A guy whose parole officer is probably having a shit fit right about now.
I am funny. I'm real funny.
Are you in town? This sounds long distance.
Are you in town? This sounds long distance.
No, I'm out of town. I'm in... I'm in real deep shit, Jimmy. Deep shit Arkansas.
No, I'm out of town. I'm in... I'm in real deep shit, Jimmy. Deep shit Arkansas.
Louise, just tell me what the hell is going on here! I come back, nobody knows where you are. Is Thelma with you? Darryl's been callin' here every half-hour sayin' he's gonna kill you both when you get back, he's goin' nuts. I don't envy her if she is.
I have a savings account with about sixty-seven hundred dollars in it. Now I know you won't be able to get it out, but I'm good for it. I need that money. Can you wire me the sixty-seven hundred dollars and I'll pay you back? Please, I'm desperate.
What the fuck is going on?

Something real bad has happened and I can't tell you what, just that it's bad and I did it and I can't undo it. Can you help me?
Something real bad has happened and I can't tell you what, just that it's bad and I did it and I can't undo it. Can you help me?
Of course. Of course! Where? Can't I bring it to you? For God's sake, baby, please, just tell me what's happened, what could possibly be so bad?
Okay, peaches, okay. But can I ask you one thing?
Maybe.
Maybe.
Does it have something to do with another guy? Are you in love with him?

It's nothin' like that.
It's nothin' like that.
Then what?! What, goddamnit, Louise! Where the fuck are you going? Are you just leaving for fucking ever? What, did you fuckin' murder somebody or what?!
Whose place is this again?
It's Bob's, the day manager's. He's gettin' a divorce, so his wife's gettin' this place, so he's just lettin' all his friends use it till he has to turn over the keys.

How come he let you go?

'Cause I didn't ask him.

Aw, shit, Thelma, he's gonna kill you.
Aw, shit, Thelma, he's gonna kill you.
Well, he has never let me go. He never lets me do one goddamn thing that's any fun. All he wants me to do is hang around the house the whole time while he's out doing God only knows what.
Oh, I don't know. I'm just nervous. I gotta figure out what to do.
Well, when you figure it out, wake me up.
Well, when you figure it out, wake me up.
Just what the hell is wrong with you?
Don't get mad, Louise, but where are we going?
Oklahoma City. Jimmy's gonna wire me some money, and then...
Oklahoma City. Jimmy's gonna wire me some money, and then...
You talked to him?! Is he mad? Did you tell him?
You talked to him?! Is he mad? Did you tell him?
No, I didn't tell him. And that's something we gotta get straight. Darryl's been callin', mad as a hornet, makin' all kinds of noise. When you talk to him, you cannot say anything about this. You gotta make sure everything sounds normal.

I called the asshole at 4:00 in the morning and he wasn't even home. I don't know what he's got to be mad about. I'm the one who should be mad.

Thelma, I'm going to Mexico. I think I can make it in two and a half days, but I'm going to have to haul ass. Are you up to this? I mean, I have to know. This isn't a game. I'm in deep shit. I gotta know what you're gonna do.

I... I don't know. I don't know what you're askin' me.
I... I don't know. I don't know what you're askin' me.
Don't you fall apart on me. Goddamnit, Thelma. Every time we get in trouble, you go blank or plead insanity or some such shit, and this time... Not this time. Everything's changed now... Now you can do whatever you want, but I'm going to Mexico. I'm going. Are you coming with me?
I just don't see what it would hurt just to give somebody a ride. Did you see his butt? Darryl doesn't have a cute butt. You could park a car in the shadow of his ass.
I'm sorry. I'm just not in the mood for company right now. Here. Take this map. I need you to find all the secondary roads to Mexico from Oklahoma City. I think we should stay off the interstates. We're too conspicuous.

I know, Louise, but we're running for our lives! Don't you think you could make an exception just this once?! I mean, look at the map. The only thing between Oklahoma and Mexico is Texas!

Thelma! I'm not gonna talk about this! Now find another way or give me the goddamn map and I will! You understand?
Thelma! I'm not gonna talk about this! Now find another way or give me the goddamn map and I will! You understand?
No, Louise. How come you never said what happened?
I'm sorry. Well, we need the money. Now we have it.

Okay. Shit, Thelma! What'd you do? I mean, what did you say?
Well, I just...
Holy shit.
Lemme see the map.
For the first time in my life, I wish this car wasn't green.
Are you sure we should be driving like this? In broad daylight and everything?

You think you've found your calling?

Maybe. Maybe. The call of the wild!
That J.D. kid is a little shit.
What.
How'd they find out we're going to Mexico, Thelma, how they know that?
I... I...
I... I...
You told that thievin' little shit where we were goin'?!
Boy, he wasn't expectin' that!
Thelma!
Thelma!
Suck my dick... Boom!!
I don't want to see any more beef jerky. I mean the next beef jerky you hand me is going out the window. It's drivin' me crazy. The whole car smells like it.
It's good. It's what the pioneers ate.
It's good. It's what the pioneers ate.
I don't care what the damn pioneers ate. You just keep that shit away from me, now I mean it.
I think I've really fucked up. I think I've got us in a situation where we could both get killed. Why didn't we just go straight to the police.
You know why. You already said.
You know why. You already said.
What'd I say again?

Nobody would believe us. We'd still get in trouble. We'd still have our lives ruined. And you know what else?

That guy was hurtin' me. And if you hadn't come out when you did, he'd a hurt me a lot worse. And probably nothin' woulda happened to him. 'Cause everybody did see me dancin' with him all night. And they woulda made out like I asked for it. And my life woulda been ruined a whole lot worse than it is now. At least ...

No, Louise, you said the first part. I said all the rest.
No, Louise, you said the first part. I said all the rest.
Whatever.
Thelma, that is not an option.
But I don't know... something's crossed over in me and I can't go back. I mean, I just couldn't live...

I mean really! That business with your tongue. What is that? That's disgusting!

You know good and damn well what I'm talkin' about.
I'm not apologizing for shit!
Say you're sorry.
Say you're sorry.
Fuck that.
Hey, shit-for-brains, be careful not to scratch that thing, huh?

Gay? He said you were gay?
He implied it.

Well you're a writer, and a lot of writers are gay. Look at Truman Capote.

Let me ask you this: When you smoke a cigar, do you ever pretend it has balls?
I don't know about this, Dom.
Relax, this guy owes me a big one. A couple years ago he got in a jam up in the Boston office; some bullshit about padding his resume -- like we haven't all done that. Anyway, they were going to let him go but his mother wrote a tear-jerker letter that ended up on my desk.

His mother?
Yeah, I guess he still lives with her. Seemed like a sweet lady -- got diabetes or something -- so I went out on a limb and got him transferred down to Providence.

And you think he could find out her number for me?
And you think he could find out her number for me?
He'll do better than that. I'll send him down to Miami on business, you throw him a couple bucks on the side, and he'll track her down.
That's it, I'm making an oath. I'll never procrastinate about anything again. Life is too fucking short.
Hey, look on the bright side --

What's that, Dom? What's the bright side?
