CLETUS<br />
Why she ain't nothing but a goddamn cheater! Pa, don't just set there! Do something about it!<br />
PURCELL<br />
(Touching his lips in wonder)<br />
It's good cheating though. You gotta admire her style.<br />
LARGE MARGE<br />
I got twenty bucks she takes all three.<br />
She waves a twenty dollar bill in the air.<br />
Rose Rose<br />
(Looking desperate as the size and malevolence of<br />
CLETUS registers on her)<br />
Can I bet against myself?<br />
LARGE MARGE sees the look of doubt in her face. She bends over and whispers in her ear.<br />
Rose Rose seems to listen because suddenly she looks more confident.<br />
She gets up abruptly, moves behind the bar. She pours herself a drink. <strong>The</strong>n suddenly drops<br />
below the bar. JACK notices it. When she comes up, she looks different in her appearance. Her<br />
shirt's no longer tucked into her jeans. She downs the whiskey shot and moves back to the table.<br />
CLETUS<br />
I'll cover any bets! By God, I am gonna rip her limb from limb.<br />
(Pointing at her with a finger thick as a tree branch)<br />
I'm gonna put such a hurt on you!<br />
Jack<br />
Hell, it's like shooting ducks in a store window. I'll put a hundred on<br />
her, Cletus.<br />
CLETUS takes his seat at the table. He is so huge his belly pushes the table away from him. His<br />
arms are like the boles of oak trees.<br />
CLETUS<br />
(Snorting derisively)<br />
Easiest hundred I ever made.<br />
NED and PURCELL are whispering together. PURCELL takes something out of NED'S<br />
sheepskin Jacket.<br />
PURCELL
