"Grandpa Cotton Hill, Hell, U.S.A."? Bobby, why'd you
write this? You know Grandpa lives in Houston.

BOBBY: Vot are you talking about? Vot are you talking about? BOOMHAUER: Heh heh heh...Man, what you talkin' about?...What you talkin' about?...I tell ya what, fat kids always funny, man...dang ol' John Candy, John Belushi...Knife and fork dug their graves, man.

nurse.

shotgun?
COTTON: Thanks a lot, Girlie, but the truth is: you're a girl. DIDI: Cotton, I'll do the dishes. I like to.
COTTON: Hank, Bobby and me have decided he's gonna stick vegetables up his nose. HANK: You just don't understand him, Peg. See, he's a flamboyant
character, like a peacock. That's why men love him. But women
don't like his style because you all are like the pea-hen. More
subdued and drab.

old man.
COTTON: It's a holiday, isn't it? It's Angie Dickinson's birthday! DALE: Sometimes things just disappear for no logical reason. One day, my cousin woke up -- his kidney was gone.

this town?
COTTON: I was fourteen, just a little older than Bobby. But I knew Uncle Sam needed me, so I lied and signed up. We had beat the Nazzys in Italy, and they shipped me to the Pacific theater. A Tojo torpedo sent our troupe's ship to the bottom. I could only save three of my buddies, Fatty, Stinky, and Brooklyn. They were kind of like you fellas, only one of them was from Brooklyn. Out of the sun came a Tojo Zero and put fifty bullets in my back. The blood attracted sharks. I had to give 'em Fatty. Then things took a turn for the worse. I made it to an island, but it was full of Tojos! They were spitting on the U.S. flag! So I rushed 'em, but it was a trap. They opened fire and blew my shins off. Last thing I remember, I beat 'em all to death with a big piece of Fatty. I woke up in a field hospital, and they were sewing my feet to my knees. BOBBY: Hoo! She's moody! Must be PBS. HANK: Well, she's got a point, but he's a war hero. She's my wife, but
he's got no shins.
COTTON: Well, I never thought I'd see the day when my own son would stop loving me. It's about time! Love's for sissies! Ain't that right, you house full of hookers? HANK: Your mother's
probably got a better head on her shoulders than anybody in Arlen.
