The Burden of Unnecessary Conversations
Ernest Yeah, I can't blame you for keeping quiet. Hard to get a word in edgewise with those three.
Dusty Yes, sir.
Ernest People talk too damn much for my taste. Yapping about this or that, when he ought to be eating, working, or sleeping. We know Harley was out late last night. We know she was a little slow on her ride. I mean, that's no front page news! So why talk about it?
Dusty I guess I see what you're saying.
Ernest You GUESS? NEVER guess. I mean, you got to KNOW what you're doing! Otherwise, you leave yourself wide open to suggestion. And that, to my mind is the problem with this whole damn country.
Ernest Everybody's open to suggestion! Hmph!
Ernest Well. You coming, or you just going to sit there?
Unspoken Gratitude Between Two Musicians
Lula If it wasn't for me, you would probably still be singing in some run-down rat hole for a bunch of fat cowgirls from Iowa.
Dusty Yeah, and if it wasn't for me, you would probably be a waitress there.
The Search for Answers in Life
Earl You know, Grandma Ivy. In all the years, I've known you I don't think you've ever answered a question directly.
Ivy There are no answers. Only the search.
Earl Yeah...
Connection Through Trees and Roots
Dusty Man, I should've known you'd find me. How'd you do it?
Earl Oh, something to do with trees and roots. You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Dusty Grandma Ivy.
A New Face in Town
Waitress Hey you.
[''to Dusty, who has just walked in clean-shaven and with a haircut'']
Dusty Hello.
[''guarded... thinking he's been found'']
Waitress Haven't seen you around before.
Waitress You new?
Dusty Yeah.
Dusty Brand new.
Waitress Well, welcome.
Dusty Well, thanks.
[''smiles'']
Perception of Worth in Unexpected Places
Ernest Tucker The funny thing about that little white speck on the top of chicken shit. That little white speck is chicken shit too.
Roots and Growth in Relationships
Ivy Well, sometimes the tree grows too fast and the roots don't develop. And sometimes you have to chop off the top of that tree to let the roots catch up.
Earl But do you know where he's at?
Ivy No, but I expect if you follow the roots, you'll find him.
Earl Grandma Ivy, in all the years, I've known you I've never heard you answer a question directly.
Ivy There are no answers. Only the search.
Earl Yup, whatever that means.
Seeking a Sense of Place
Lula Earl, what are you doing?
[''Earl is learning against the back of Dusty's tour bus, breathing in the exhaust fumes'']
Earl Just trying to feel like I was back in California.
A Decision to Take a Walk
Earl What are you gonna do?
Dusty I'm gonna take me a little walk.
