:13:00
You boys are gonna have to
turn this rig around

:13:02
and get it all the way back up
on Buckeye Road.

:13:04
Buckeye Road? That'd be another
three, four more hours anyway.

:13:08
Well, you know, there's
no five-axle vehicles on this highway.

:13:11
I think you know that.
:13:13
You got a weigh slip?
:13:18
Thank you.
Excuse me just a minute.

:13:25
There goes another job.
:13:28
Hey, son?
:13:31
See there? John Wintergreen.
That's my name.

:13:34
And I always write down
John Wintergreen first

:13:37
whenever I run into a fellow
that I think has got a story to tell me.

:13:43
And I think you're one of them fellas.
:13:46
Why don't you go ahead
and tell me your story?

:13:50
Well, it's... it's nothing, really.
:13:52
It's just that since I got back,
:13:54
it seems like the only natural talent
I got is for screwing up.

:13:56
It's been two months since I got back
from Nam and I've blown two jobs.

:14:03
What the hell?
It's no excuse.

:14:05
It's just a question
of adjustment, you know?

:14:07
Yeah, I know what you mean.
:14:09
Listen, I wanna give you a little advice.
:14:11
Don't look for favors, 'cause that's
the wrong foot to get started on.

:14:14
You're talkin' to a fella who knows.
:14:16
You sound like
you made the trip yourself.

:14:18
Marines. Fourth Recon.
I got back in '68.

:14:23
It's good to find you, brother.
:14:25
- I can't tell you how good.
- You don't know how good it is.

:14:28
You see, you've been back
only six weeks,

:14:30
and I'm gonna do for you what it took
somebody six months to do for me.

:14:33
- Yes, sir. What's that?
- Nothin'.

:14:38
- Are you gonna give me a ticket?
- I'm gonna give you a ticket.

:14:40
And you're gonna make me
go back to Buckeye Road?

:14:41
Gonna make you go back
to Buckeye Road.

:14:44
And you don't even
have to thank me for it.
