We'd better catch that train.
We still got time for a beer.
Now wait a minute, man...
I ain't old enough.
Ain't old enough for what?
For a beer.
Everybody's old enough for a beer. Ain't that right, Mule?
Yeah.

We'd better catch that train.
We still got time for a beer.
Now wait a minute, man...
I ain't old enough.
Ain't old enough for what?
For a beer.
Everybody's old enough for a beer. Ain't that right, Mule?
Yeah.
I am the mother**** shore patrol, mother****er! I am the mother**** shore patrol! Give this man a beer.
I don't want a beer.
You're gonna have a ****in' beer!
Hey, you guys mind if I say somethin'? That guy at the bar, why did you get so mad at him? I don't blame him not givin' me a beer.
Hey, don't you never get mad at nobody?
Well, sure I do, yeah.
Who do you get mad at?
Not at somebody who's doing their job.
Who, then?
Injustice.
Bullshit! You never get mad at nobody. You're just a pussy!
I do too get mad.
Did you ever get mad at the old man for what he done to you?
Well, he was just...
...doin' his job. Hey, they're gonna take eight years outta your life, man.
Six years. You said six!
Hey, what the **** difference does it make? You don't even care about it.
Come on, Badass, that don't help him.
**** help, **** fair! **** injustice! Don't you ever just wanna ****in' whomp and stomp on someone, bite off their ear, just to do it...? I mean just to do it, just to get it out of your system?
Are they really doing that when they take that picture?
Well kid, there's more things in this life than you can possibly imagine. I knew a whore once in Wilmington. She had a glass eye... used to take it out and wink people off for a dollar.
A woman hears Meadows chanting and invites him to a party.
Drop your socks and grab your ****, we're going to a party.
If this kid gets pussy out of this, I'll eat my **** flat hat, man.
If you're Catholic, do you think it's, uh, sacrilegious to chant?
Did it get you laid?
No.
Then Meadows, what the **** do you want to go on chanting for?
Chant your ass off, kid. But any pussy you get in this world, you gonna have to pay for, one way or another.
Hallelujah!
Jesus Christ! That's what I call quick.
'Seaman Laurence M. "Larry" Meadows has just prematurely ejaculated.
You wanna try it again, kid?
Yeah.
Okay, honey.
Don't worry about it, kid... plenty more where that came from.
We got all night, kid.
After... after... well maybe it was an act for her. I mean I know she was a whore. B ut I think she liked me.
They got feelings just like everybody else, kid; she probably did.
Well, it was real for me. That's what counts.
