A scene from O Brother, Where Art Thou? 2000
Everett

Why are you telling our gals that I was hit by a train?

Penny

Lots of respectable people have been hit by trains. Judge Hobbie over in Cookville was hit by a train. What was I gonna tell them, that you got sent to the penal farm and I divorced you from shame?

Everett

Uh, I take your point. But it does put me in a damn awkward position, vis-a-vis my progeny.
