Kingsport, Tennessee. Twenty minute rest stop. Anybody not back on the bus in 20 minutes won't be going on to Memphis; not today.
[ALL]
M&M's, Good & Plenty
Stretch your legs and grab some Cokes
Have a Tootsie Roll, or twenty
Get another pack'a smokes
Apple cobbler, à la mode
Cup'a coffee for the road?
I'll have some coffee for the road
[FLICK, spoken]
You're at Fort Smith?
[MONTY, spoken]
Yup!
[FLICK, spoken]
'Swhere I'm headed. Come on, let's grab a table. Lady, what is it you want?
[VIOLET, spoken]
To play. Long as it's a legal deal. I get mad if I'm cheated.
[FLICK, spoken]
And mean when you're mad. I'm Grady Fliggins and they call me Flick.
[VIOLET, spoken]
I'm Violet Karl. Spruce Pine.
[MONTY, spoken]
I'm Monty Harrill. From near to Raleigh.
[VIOLET, spoken]
Why don't we play straight draw poker?
[FATHER, spoken]
My God, Violet. You're failing math. At your school? That ain't easy.
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
The teacher makes us do our figures on the board.
[FATHER, spoken]
So?
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
So I have to walk past a row of boys to get to it.
[FATHER, spoken]
Oh. Gimme that money you got saved from picking galax.
[YOUNG VI, spoken]
No Papa, that's my money! I earned it!
[FATHER, spoken]
We're gonna play some draw poker. It'll learn you to add and subtract. And poker'll give you something to do with the boys, when the time comes for that. So, what's gonna win?
