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

Well, at least you boys get to see the ancestral manse; the home where I spent so many happy days in the bosom of my family--a refugim, if you will--with a mighty oak tree out front and a happy little tire swing on it.

Delmar

[The boys arrive at Everett's old cabin, but they see no tire swing on the tree]

Where's the happy little tire swing? [the boys are soon confronted by Sheriff Cooley and his men]

Sheriff Cooley

[steps out of the cabin with his dog]

End of the road, boys.

Everett

Wait a minute, now...

Sheriff Cooley

It's had its twists and turns. Now, it deposits you here.

Everett

No, wait a minute!

Sheriff Cooley

You have eluded fate, and you have eluded me for the last time. [to his men] Tie their hands, boys.

Everett

You can't do this now!

Sheriff Cooley

[Cooley's men begin tying Everett, Pete, and Delmar's hands behind their backs and holding Tommy at gunpoint]

Didn't know you'd be bringin' a friend. He'll just have to wait his turn, share one of your graves.

Everett

You can't do this! We just got pardoned by the governor hisself!

Delmar

It went out on the radio!

Sheriff Cooley

Is that right? Well, we ain't got a radio.

Pete

God have mercy.
