Accidental Texan

- Yeah, Simon wants the helicopters ready by call time.

- Copy that. - My bad, man.

My fault.

So can you believe it?

I know.

No, I know.

I can't believe I'm here.

So, cool, right?

- Seriously. - Arms up, arms up.

No, 30 days.

30 days of good work, well rehearsed work,

and that sweet, sweet per diem.

- That's the big leagues for you.

- No, you have no idea how much I needed this, Vera.

Erwin, you know what?

You earned this, okay?

No, we earned this,

after five dang years of trusting each other,

we both earned this.

Well, persistence and talent payoff?

Yeah.

Dang, dude.

- Sorry. - You all right?

Yeah, no, I'm fine, I'm fine.

We're just rigging up for the big death scene at the end.

That's what we're starting with.

Starting with a bang?

- Vera, I do wanna say one thing, though.

You are the best agent in the whole world.

Hey, it's what I do.

We good?

Yeah, he's ready to blow.

Copy that.

Let's go.

- Yeah, I mean, first day nerves a little bit.

Yeah, let's definitely send him something.

Hey man, turn that thing off.

- Because we know how much they push for us.

Listen, son, you gotta

turn that thing off before we go hot.

I will, I promise, all right?

Hey Vera, so we're headed to set, right.

- Erwin! - Hey!

- Simon. - Simon.

Simon.

So brilliant to have you on board, mate.

- Truly, truly. - It's a pleasure.

- Listen, we are gonna have some fun.

Are you ready?

We're gonna make some magic.

Yeah?

Let's do it.

Did you find the hotel all right?

- Actually, I just got straight here.

Did you?

Good boy.

Well, if you need a bigger room,

I want to respect your process.

And if your processes a bigger hotel room,

- we can do that. - I'm sure it's fine.

Thanks though.

- Erwin, my boy, this is your canvas.

This is your space,

your playground.

You will paint the walls with the effervescence

of your vulnerability.

Do that thing you do.

I want you here at the bar.

Right.

And our lovely Tara Lane

will be right here by your side.

I love your work

and it's a pleasure to be working with you.

I just had to say it

- You're welcome. - Thank you.

Okay, so Erwin.

- Yes. - On action.

- Yeah. - You will lean in close

and you two are deeply in love.

Right.

- And then Surly Bob kicks in the door,

lights the place up.

You, kid, fall here.

Tara rushes to you just as you die.

- Right, right here in the general vicinity?

Generally, yeah.

- Figure it out, but yes. - Yeah, okay, all right.

Yeah, no, I got it, yeah.

- Love it. - Cool?

Yeah, sounds good, chief.

Lovely.

- Dude, you ain't gonna have to act

'cause that's gonna hurt like hell.

Fire in the hole.

Funny guy.

It is gonna hurt like hell.

- Okay people, we've got one take of this,

so let's not mess it up.

Wait, no rehearsal?

- No. - Okay, alright.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine just...

Red leather, yellow leather,

red leather, yellow leather,

red leather, yellow leather.

Relax.

Yeah, you're gonna do great.

Thank you, I needed that.

Dreams really do come true.

Shit!

My god.

Bullocks!

Erwin, where the hell are you?

I have been calling you for eight hours.

I mean, I'm sure that Simon

already made this painfully clear,

but I just heard from the producers and you're fired.

Do you have any idea how this is going to make me look?

What the...

God!

Not right now, come on.

Come on, you piece of shit.

Come on, come on!

Come on, come on!

Yeah?

Really?

Right now?

What am I doing wrong?

Just tell me that!

Okay.

- Sorry. - That wind.

Come on in.

How are you?

I'm alright.

Good, have a seat.

Make yourself at home.

I'll get right to you.

Okay.

How about you two?

Here you go.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'll be right with you.

Hey you, boys.

Morning.

Cecil.

Merle, Thomas.

- Hi. - Hey, Merle.

Look at that pretty thing.

How are you?

Things could be a little better.

Well, who knows?

Maybe your luck's about to change.

Yeah?

You heard something?

You all right?

I'm fine.

Actually, could I get the wifi though 'cause...

No, we don't have that here.

I could...

A phone number then?

Well.

Sweet.

Old school.

- Thank you. - Sure.

- I haven't seen one of these in...

Wait, ma'am, this is from 2015.

- Well, things don't change too much around here.

Right.

Moose's Auto.

Hi there, sir.

Good morning, this is Moose?

- Yes, sir, you're gonna have to speak up.

I'm having a lot of trouble hearing you.

Yeah, my car broke down right outside of...

Buffalo Gap.

Buffalo Gap, sir.

Well, we're closed for church.

We can take care of that Monday.

We're kind of busy, but yeah, we can take care of that.

See if we can work you in.

Where'd you say your car was sitting?

Car's...

It's just right out of town.

Wait, Moose?

Excuse me, I'm on the phone.

Yeah, sir, that's...

What I mean is, that's me.

How about that?

Yeah.

- So you, the fellow that needs a tow?

Yes, please, sir.

It's like right outside of town

about a couple miles.

And I think it's the carburetor.

We can take care of that.

Thank you.
