- Thats your best bet.
- I appreciate it.
Thanks.
- Good luck.
Do you do you remember when we met?
Real love.
Now in bed alone.
- Hello?
Anyone around?
To hide my blues.
I will find someone new.
So I will leave you.
- [___!]
I didn't see you there.
- Oh.
You're fine.
Darn thing.
That's it.
Just this hearing aid.
Dropped it right as you came in.
I can't hear worth a lick without it.
- Oh, it's no problem.
I saw this place from the road, and I wanted to see if anyone was around.
- Oh, yes.
Someone's always around.
- I'm glad to hear it.
It's getting cold out there.
- Well, let's get you warmed up.
What'll it be?
- Jamison's fine.
- Jamison.
I could find someone new.
So I will leave you.
- Care to join me?
Well heres to you Mister.
Look, so I, I have to get over towards Avonmore by Friday, but I think I picked the wrong spot to catch another ride.
You have any tips for where to go?
Mister?
I'm just wondering if you know where there's a gas station or motel nearby.
- Yeah.
I reckon you'll be wanting to know about that.
Now, do you see that?
That's how you know it's her.
That's the way she always does it.
There will be lots.
Come through here.
Want you to think they're her.
But they aint her.
See?
And you may take my word for it.
You don't want any of them having your way with you.
It's a game.
- What do I owe you?
- What's that?
- The whiskey.
What do I owe you?
- Oh.
- I think I better hit the road again here.
- For the Jameson, it will be $3.25.
- Great.
- A five.
I'll get you some quarters.
- Hey tell you what, just keep the change, all right?
- What's that?
- It's worth every cent.
- Oh, well.
Thank you.
- You bet.
- You won't get another ride on this road.
It's a dead end.
- Great.
Is there a main road?
- It's due east.
Five and a half miles.
- All right.
- I can take you that way.
It's the way I was planning on going too.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Just wait here where it's warm until I'll pull around.
Im sure, youll never mind.
I love you.
Like I do.
- Hey Mister!
Oh dear, I know.
How I love you so.
You got a new love on your mind.
You got a new love on your mind.
