Y'know, in a severe lightning storm, you want to grab your ankles and stick your butt in the air.

Haynes

He's right. If you're gonna get hit it's the safest orifice.

Joey

Yeah, I'd like to get hit by lightning once, y'know, see what it's like.

Preacher

No, that was a good size twister. What was it, an F-3?

Solid F-2.

See, now you've lost me again.

It's the Fujita Scale. It measures the intensity of a tornado by how much it eats.

Eats?

Destroys.

Lawrence

The one we last encountered was a strong F-2, maybe an F-3.

Maybe we'll see some F-4's today.

Haynes

That would be sweet!

4 is good. 4 will relocate your house very efficiently.

Is there an F-5? [silence falls over the group] What would that be like?

Preacher

...The Finger of God.

None of you has ever seen an F-5?

...Just one of us.

[Bill and Jo are talking about Melissa]

YES, she's very nice. NO, she does not work at the station, she...she's a therapist.

Jo
[pause]

Oh. [beat] Yours?

CHRIST!

Jo

What?!

-You couldn't resist, could you?

Jo

I'm not saying you-

Come on.

Jo

-need therapy!

[missing Jo's point]

What?
Jo: I'm not-

Wait, wait, wait, wait, I need therapy?

Jo

I didn't say that!

I need a therapist?
[Jo: I didn't say that!

What could I possibly need a therapist for?

Jo

I don't know.

You're the doctor, tell me.

Jo

I don't know! Um... inability to finish things? Maybe rushing into things you can't quite commit to?

Commitment?

Jo

You asked me.

Look...

Jo

YOU ASKED ME!

NO, that is BULLSHIT. Look, I may-

Jo

You asked-

have walked out, [looks away from the road and at Jo] but at least I showed up in the first place...

Jo

Okay, THERE'S A WHOLE ROAD THING GOING ON OUT HERE, OKAY?

You never had the slightest idea about commitment - what being married means! [truck veers into the grass] Like-like... stability, supportiveness, and a house, and all kinds of neat stuff like that!

Jo

Can I drive?

NO.

Jo
[notices Bill about to hit a parked combine]

Then would you?

WHOA!! [steers the car to safety] Damn...

Jo

Somebody should warn her about your temper.

Jo, I swear to-

Jo

She obviously has no idea what she's getting herself into.

[Cuts to Beltzer & Haynes driving, listening to Bill & Jo's argument over the radio]

' Stay the hell out of it. I know exactly what I'm doing!

Jo

What exactly are you doing?

What am I doing?

Haynes

I think they're getting better at this.

Jo
[Cuts back to Bill & Jo]

You know what? As long as you're happy...

THANK YOU. I am happy. I'm a happy person. I'm happy with my life. I'm happy with the way things are going in my life. I'm happy with... [falls apart] with-- with-- with-- with--

Jo

Melissa?

[trying to cover up his messup]

I KNOW HER NAME. Yes! I'm happy with MELISSA.

Jo

You look happy. You're happy.

I AM.
