Moonshiners (2011–…): Season 7, Episode 18 - Last Nail in the Coffin - full transcript

♪♪

When you're
Makin' moonshine,

You always got to keep
Your eyes and ears open.

You always got to be
Lookin' out, watchin' your back.

Sellin' moonshine,
It's risky as *bleep*.

Trust the wrong people, you
Risk losing your entire empire.

It's a cutthroat business,

But with the amount
Of money involved,

It's worth the risk.

On the season finale
Of "Moonshiners"...

These dudes should've
Done been here.



I don't know where
The hell they are.

I hope this deal
Goes down right.

We need the money.

...One shiner's last chance
With his biggest distributor...

What's the deal, man?
You on the way or what?

Change of plans?

*bleep*

If that ladder breaks,
You can't get out.

Oh, *bleep*

You gonna be trapped
In there.

...In virginia, two old partners
Are back in business...

Tickle, what are you
Doin' in there?

Think I'm gonna be
Real comfortable in here,

Especially as soon as
Everything get to fermentin'.



What's that? The law?

You've got to go through it.
There's no way around.

You don't think they'll
Check these buckets, do you?

...Troubled waters
In louisiana...

I did not plan on that.

Aw, hell.

Kelly, he set me up,
He stole my still,

So I'm gonna give him
A little bit of dynamite.

I'm gonna
Blow his *bleep* up.

...Evening the score
In tennessee...

Aah!

But yinz
Ain't gonna like this.

...And a declaration of war
In cocke county.

Ooh!

That damn boy
Has started a damn battle

He ain't armed to finish.

I'll guarantee you that.

You wouldn't let a limb
Go and slap in the face

For nothin', would you?Not on purpose.

Well, I'd hate to be
In that water just neck down,

Wouldn't you?
Yeah, boy.

Ain't nothing like
Damn ice in the creek

To let you know it's winter.

Yeah, boy, come right up
A slick-ass creek.

As winter bears down
On east tennessee,

Moonshiners mark and digger

Are breaking down
Their still site

Before one final sale
Of the season.

God, I'd forgot we'd left
So much stuff in here.

We got another sale
Of muscadine rye to go,

But we'll be back in the spring,
And we'll start all over again.

Well, we're trying
To figure this out, puss,

Where we don't have to build
All this furnace back.

This will need to be replaced.
By next year, it'll rot.

It'll have to have
A good cleaning.

The end of the season's
Kind of a double-edged sword,

You know?
It's bittersweet, so to speak,

Because it took a lot of work
To set this up,

And we made a lot
Of liquor here.

We had a lot of good
Times here, as well,

And tearing it all down --
Kind of sad, really.

Looky here.

Pull that ice out of there,

Whatever's left in there
That ain't solid, it's liquor.

It's what they do --
A cryogenic distillation.

That what we did,
And didn't know it?

Yeah, we did it,
And didn't know it.

Holy moly!Easy, easy.

Oh, man, that looks like
A bad dose of baby *bleep*.

Shoot.

You're too big
To drink that.

You want to make a bet on
Who gets the first broke toe?

Every year,
We're a little blue

About bustin' everything down.

You know, we enjoy being here
Working with each other,

Especially when we have
A good season like we did.

We built that still this year,
And that's our biggest yet.

Let's call him
"Big ugly."

"Big sloppy."

Yeah, I'm good with that.

Our goal was to increase
Our production

And sales a little bit.

Try that and
See what you think.

Boy, she's clear now.

We brought our old buddy kelly
Out of retirement

To make a little liquor
For us.

It worked out perfect.

Yeah, it's good.

-who the hell's this?
-this is mark and digger.

But then
Kelly enlightened us

About this guy, mike,

Bringing a little liquor
Into the county,

And he's stepping
On some people's toes.

There's people over here
That will hurt you physically.

If he chooses to
Double-cross us, I promise you,

It'll be a whole lot worse
On him than it will us.

All-in-all, I don't think
I'd change anything.

Maybe next year, we'll set
Our goal a little bit higher.

Who knows?

When the leaves start
Sprouting out,

And we get
Back out in the woods,

No telling what
We might come up with.

Sad as it may be,
Tearing 'em down,

If we want to ensure ourself

That we have 'em to
Start next season with,

We got to tear 'em down,
Get 'em out of the woods.

There's the last
In big sloppy.

Big sloppy.

I may have to come and live
With you and allison awhile.

Why, because of
My poppy packer?

No.
Big sal's home,

And she said,
"I want you to go out,

Get some of them pills
That'll give you an erection."

I come back to her
With a bottle of diet pills.

Yeah, that'll do it.

I may be lookin'
For somewhere to live.

Yep, you is up
The *bleep* creek, buddy.

♪♪

I can replace plastic.

I can't replace
All that damn copper.

One county away,
Mike is reeling

From the recent theft
Of his still,

And he's looking for answers.

I've got $3,000
In that still site

Going down the drain.

The pot's gone, man.

You son of a bitches!

It's all gone, man!

Everything's sabotaged.

I don't have nothin' left.

Might've been that damn snake
I tried to sell to.

I'd say you right.

I'll go blow every damn thing
They got up.

♪♪

I put all my sweat, blood,
And tears into this still site.

This is what puts bread
On the table.

That's my livelihood.

That's what feeds my family.

But I know who it was.

Ain't no damn way in hell
I'm gonna let 'em beat me.

♪♪

♪♪

Yeah,
I got to run liquor.

We got to make with
The hearse and the casket.

Yeah, he's gonna --
He's gonna meet us there.

Yes, it do.

Back in cocke county,
Digger and j.B. Prepare

For one final bootleg
Of the season.

Well, there we go.
That ought to be good enough.

We got a pretty decent
Sale lined up.

We've got 24 gallons
Of this rye muscadine

That we're gonna take out.

What do you say we unwrap

This old death angel
There, j.B.?

We've had a good year,

Made more money
Than we ever have,

But this being the last sales
Of the big liquor season,

We want to make sure
That we get through with it.

Here we go.

The delivery method
I'm gonna employ --

We're gonna use
The hearse again.

You got that end?

I've heardyou was hung.

Some people might consider this
A little bit spooky,

And they might be
Uncomfortable around a hearse.

But, you know, I've played
Around caskets all my life.

That old tarp there,
It's a little worse for wear,

Ain't it?

That's where I got
My nickname, digger.

I was a funeral director
And embalmer

In this county
For years and years.

Next thing on the agenda,

We got to get that casket
Out of there

And make
Some modifications did.

All right.

A lot of people don't want to
Fool with a hearse.

They'll swing wide around it.

That's an extra layer
Of protection, in my opinion.

And there's
Our carrying case.

I've been used to unloading
These things by myself

Over the years.

Yeah, we'll raise this up.

Here comes
Mark wayne ramsey.

He got here just in time
To load up half his liquor.

You know,
Most people might be

A little bit spooked
Around the hearse.

To me,
It's just second nature.

What are you doing, puss?

Get you a box of liquor
And come on.

Oh, hell.

Now, mark, on the other hand,

He's a little spooky
Around hearses.

Oh, hell, no.

I think I've got him
Acclimated a little bit,

But he still holds
That superstitious mind

Of his right close.

Boy, you look
Fine and dandy.

I'd dance with you
At the prom.

Get you a box of liquor
And come on.

I expect that
From you,

But j.B. Ought to have gave me
A little bit of warning.

Here he is
With the coffin again.

They make me
A little bit skittish.

I'll be in one soon enough.

24 gallon of liquor.

That's what he wanted.

But I'm all right with it.

This is just another way
Of protecting the liquor.

You know, we're gonna load up
And give it a shot,

Get this sale completed.

Get over on the other side
There, pallbearer.

We got to put this thing
Up in here.

-oh, god almighty.
-god almighty.

Here we go.
Brrrr!

See, you're already
Gettin' stronger.

This is our last sale
Of the season.

A few extra little steps
Of precaution,

This is what moonshiners
Have to do

To protect our own interests.

Here we go.

♪♪

♪♪

All right, y'all.

I just got the call.
It's go time.

These bikers just let me know
They're ready to meet me,

Get this 175 gallon
Of this plum brandy,

And I couldn't be more ready
To give it to 'em.

On the carolina border,
Josh, chuck, and red dog

Ready the wagons
To deliver 175 gallons

Of plum brandy
To josh's biker distributor.

Anytime you're
Making sales and doing deals,

It's a cutthroat business.

You're always kind of on edge.

But to do a sale of this size,
It's hard to notbe on edge.

Josh is on thin ice
With his biggest client.

If this deal falls through
And the buyer goes away,

It's back to selling
One quart at a time.

It's been
Quite the season.

So, red dog set up a big sale
At the biker bar.

You our man.

These bikers are
Some big distributors.

They're asking for about
More liquor than I can make.

Appreciate it.
All right.

They wanted to get 150 gallons
Of the cherry bounce

Out to this big bike rally.

This ain't my
*bleep* luck, man.

All the shine
Went up in flames.

All my stuff's burnin'.

Look!

Aah!

I can't afford
To screw this up.

This plum brandy has to
Knock this dude on his ass.

Never thought there'd be
So much work

In making liquor,
Did you?

No, I didn't.

It's gettin' really cold
At nights here,

And most moonshiners,
They're done for the year,

And it's not for us.

We pull this one off,
We'll be on easy street.

I got two more.

You'll fit?
Will they fit?

Yeah.

Look at all this.

All right, let's go.All right.

After losing them
150 gallons of cherry bounce,

It feels pretty good,
Going to meet these guys,

But I don't got
The money in the hands,

So I'm kind of sitting
On pins and needles right now.

I ain't exactly
Sittin' on easy street.

Josh has good reason
To be on edge.

He's transporting
Untaxed liquor --

A felony federal offense

That could put him in prison
For upwards of five years

And cost him more than
$100,000 in fines.

Gonna meet this guy,
And hopefully, we'll have

Quite a few thousand dollars
In our pocket this evening.

I don't see no bikers,
But red dog's here.

He's the first one.
He beat us.

♪♪

What you doin', dog?

Hey, waiting
On you, brother.

These dudes should've
Done been here.

I don't know where
The hell they are.

This is some *bleep*.

I hope this deal
Goes down right.

We need the money.

It's them right here.

What's the deal, man?
Y'all on the way or what?

Change of plans?

*bleep*

*bleep*

Oh, *bleep*

Here comes the police
Up beside of us.

A grave ending for a
Final bootleg in tennessee.

He just whipped in
Behind us.

Oh, hell. There's the man.

He's lighting our world up.

You know me.
I've always got

The tool you need
To do something illegal.

Yep. I'm glad, too.

What's that saying?
"Go big or go home"?

Yeah.I'm always going big.

Louisiana moonshiners
Patti and david

Are tapping their
Bootlegger friend brandon

And his boat

For a big final run
Down to the gulf.

I'm ready to get this
Over with.

Start straightening up.

You got plenty of room.

We're haulin'
100 gallons of pepper shine

And brought a extra 50 gallons
Of mayhaw, pear, and sassafras

That we're gonna be delivering
To a big ship captain.

We didn't make our goal
This season, you know,

But we made it up with the
Premium moonshine that we make.

Nothing but
Sugar water and mayhaws.

Yeah, man, they put in red,
Didn't they?

You know, we get a little bit
More for the mayhaw and pear.

Hoo! It is 140 proof.

That's some good stuff,
Though.

David came up
With this idea

Of making
Some sassafras moonshine.

You can taste the corn
And the sassafras.

We finally made pepper shine,

So we can get that
Big sale done down south.

Good lord, it's cold.

Come on, get up here
And you hand it to me.

Golly, what do you think
The wind's blowing, 40?

Gonna be rough out there,
All this weight,

All of us in there,
And all this wind.

You got to be careful.
We'd sink pretty easy here.

This weather is bad.

It's dreary, cold,

And the wind's pushin'
Across the water.

You can sink a boat real easy,

Much less when you're sittin'
4 to 6 inches deeper

'cause you have
150 gallons of shine.

I'm pretty worried
About it.

Are we unhooked
In the front?

Yeah.

Oh, lord.

Won't crank?

You ain't got
A choke on it?

No, it's fuel-injected.

Really don't know what's
Going on with my motor.

Get in there and hit the key,
And it won't crank.

This boat's fairly new,
And I mean, fuel-injection,

Usually, they fire right up,
And I ain't got time for that.

You crank it at home?Yeah, it run fine.

Hell, I went fishin'
The other day.

We got all this liquor
In here,

And we can't even
Get down the darn river.

This could cost us the biggest
Customer of our career.

It could be devastating
For us down here.

That ain't good.

♪♪

That's them right here.

What's the deal, man?

Y'all on the way or what?

In north carolina,

Josh, chuck, and red dog
Have shown up to a sale

With 175 gallons
Of plum brandy,

With no client in sight.

Change of plans?

*bleep*

Go somewhere else?

Have you lost
Your damn mind, man?

I ain't driving
All over hell and back down

With this liquor.

Listen, we gonna meet at
One place, and one place only.

I ain't goin' on
A damn wild goose chase.

If you ain't there
When I get there,

We're leaving,
The deal's off.

It's a done deal,
And the hell with it.

We got to go up the road.
-all right.

This is how a man
Goes to jail, right here,

Goin' to multiple places

With illegal *bleep*
In his car.

I'm not sure what
The hell's going on,

But this is how they treat you
When they settin' you up.

This deal's worth
Over $20,000,

But it ain't worth
Going to prison over.

There they are, right there.

Yeah, that's them.

Better not
Be gettin' set up.

I'm not a very happy camper
Right now.

All right, y'all.
Let's see how this goes.

Here we go.

We'll be there
In an hour or two.

Ah.

I heard that.

On the road again.

On a dark
Tennessee roadway,

Mark and digger
Are disguised

For a major undertaking --

A 24-gallon delivery
Of muscadine rye.

With this 24 gallons
Of muscadine rye,

You know,
It's $200 a gallon,

So that's a $4,800 payoff
For us.

Surely to hell,

There's an easier way
To make a living, dude.

Yeah, they're bound
To beat it.

I like makin' it,
But, damn,

I just ain't into
The sellin'.

And this is where you're takin'
All our risk, right now.

Yep.

This may seem
A little extravagant,

But at this point
In mine and digger's career,

We've got to do
Whatever we feel necessary

To deliver our liquor
And maintain our freedom.

Mark and digger
Are not the first

To use religious rites
As a guise for bootlegging.

While most spiritual leaders
During prohibition

Deemed booze as immoral,
The reverend frederick huesmann

Gave his bootlegging congregants
His blessing.

As a catholic priest
In templeton, iowa,

He served a community that
Depended on rye whiskey sales

To survive the great depression,

Going so far as to have
A still installed

In the church basement,

Handing out samples
Of whiskey to visitors,

And even storing illegal
Rye liquor in coffins

Set up for funerals.

Uh-oh, digger.There comes the rain.

There's a drop of rain
Hitting the windshield.

See, it's raining
Hardhard.

*bleep*
I'm always nervous,

No matter how good
We're camouflaged.

Be glad
When we get there.

I don't mean to worry
Or anything,

But I just seen a feller
Over here in this field

And he had
A great old big boat,

Trying to herd
Some animals up on it.

We've got a long trip
To the other side of the county.

We've got bad weather
Between here and there.

Hopefully, all this pays off.

We got to come through this
Little bitty piece of town...

Yeah.

...To get on the other side,
Where our delivery's at?

Yep.

Oh, *bleep*

Here comes the police
Up beside of us.

That's the highway.

*bleep*

Hatty boy...Huh?

...He just whipped in
Behind us.

Well...

Yeah.

Let me just turn here
And see if...

He might just want to pull over
To the arby's or something.

Yeah.

Uh, he's going with us.

That'd be our damn luck.

Damn.

Yeah, bad timing.

Yes, it is.

Oh, hell, there's the man.

He's lighting our world up.
Oh, man.

Uh,
He's going with us.

That'd be our damn luck.

Oh, hell, there's the man.

He's lighting our world up.

Oh, man. Aw.

Think we have a tail light
Or something out?

I don't know.
I've checked them all.

How you doing, guys?

How you doing, officer?

Good.
I stopped you tonight

'cause your tags
Are showing expired.

Really?

Got your
Driver's license?

Yes, sir.
It's in my back pocket.

No problem.

Find that tag?Yeah.

Yeah, we've got the sticker
And everything right there.

Good deal.

Well, if you don't
Mind me askin',

Kind of late
For a funeral.

Oh, we ain't going
To a funeral.

I just run
A livery service.

It's not
For a funeral home,

And I just transport
Fora funeral home.

Well, there's your license.
Everything's good on that.

If you don't mind,
Get this sticker put on there

Before I let you go.

I can do that right now.

We get pulled over.
Little incidental things.

You're butthole's
Puckered up so tight,

You couldn't drive
A tenpenny nail up in it

With a sledgehammer.

But the worst thing you can do
Is act nervous

When a police officer's
Got you pulled over.

Good deal.

All right.All right, guys.

You have a good evening.

damn.

*bleep* damn.

You know that one nut
That I've got?

It's up your belly,
Ain't it?

It's up my damn throat.

Whew.

I'll be glad to get
This damn liquor delivered.

I'll be glad to get to bed
And call this a day.

Digger, the rain's quit.

Yeah, just gettin'
A little foggy now.

Is this it, right here?

Yep.
They're out here.

I've swapped out many a box
Of liquor out here.

I see headlights.

Hope it ain't the law.

That's him.

Yeah, that's him.

Well, this is
Our ultimate camouflage.

Well, you gonna
Have to help us

Take this out of here.

This son of a gun's heavy.
It's full of liquor.

It's full of --

It's full of
A damn sight of liquor.

We'll just set it
On the ground.

Here we go.

Want a little tasty,
Don't you?

Well, open that lid up
And we'll get you one.

I'm telling you.

Then that rye comes in there
And gives you

A little bit of that
Peppery bite on the end.

A little sip of that there.Go right ahead.

Yeah, ooh.
Well?

Does that suit you?

Looks good, brother.

This is the point of
The game we want to be in.

We've got the liquor
Transferred over,

He's given me $4,800,

And this couldn't
Have ended any better.

This is a tricky business,
And we're on the edge,

Ready to fall off
At any given moment.

I've got by in this business
As long as I have

Simply because it --
I had digger for a partner.

All right.
Hey, I thank you, brother.

When you need some more,
You holler at me.

We feel good about our season.

We feel good about our sale.

All right, you ready,
Pallbearer?

You don't need two people
Exactly the same to be partners,

And I think that's what
Makes our partnership shine,

So to speak.

There you go, man.

That's
A smooth transaction.

Here we go.

We had some good roads,
We had bad roads,

But this gonna be a pretty good
Winner for old mark and digger.

Finally got
This sale over with.

The bikers were skeptical
Of the damn plum brandy,

But soon as he took a sip of
The sample I brought him,

Right away,
He knew I wasn't no joke,

I was a man of my word.

It's gonna take some sales

To be out of the hole
That we got ourselves in,

But I'm still out here
Doing what I do.

I'm out here keeping
A family tradition alive.

Moonshine season is ending
For most in appalachia,

But josh's winterized still site
And his biker distributor

Should keep him running
Through the cold months ahead.

Hell, I'm glad we just
Pushed on through,

'cause now we're
Back in business.

And I'm worn the hell out.

I'm ready to go home.

I'mma come in here and give him
A little bit of dynamite,

Teach him to
Set me up next time.

Hellfire
And revenge in tennessee.

Boy, he's taking off
Like a rocket

Right there, ain't he?

Ooh!

What the heck?

Thought you had
A boat that ran.

And I did, too.

If you make me lose this sale,
It's gonna be bad.

Daybreak is shedding no light

On patti and david's
Boat troubles in louisiana.

Their biggest sale of the season
Hangs in the balance.

And, dang, we got 150 gallons'
Worth of shine in here...

I know.

... And this hunk of crap
Won't run?

Man.

I bet it's
The dang spark plug.

That man,
He liable not to wait.

I know it.

I'm gonna be one mad sucker
If he ain't there, bud.

Look, I'm sorry.
I'm doing everything I can.

The motor still won't crank.
I'm gonna pull the plugs out.

Hopefully, I can clean 'em,

Get all the carbon,
All the film off of 'em.

I hope it'll really crank.

It's kind of getting
Real pressure in here.

We already lost our darkness and
We got a lot of shine with us

And there's a lot here to lose,
So I'm hoping this really works.

Back me in enough
To crank it.

I hope it cranks.
All I know.

Well, we'd best to find out.
That's good.

Please let it run.

Cross your fingers.

Hot dog!

What about that?Whoo!

I'm in good shape.

Come on, let's go.

We finally got
This motor working,

But, I mean,
We still got a long ways

To go down this river,
Down to the gulf.

Get in, daddy.All right, here we go.

Hoping he hasn't
Gave up on us

And just left.
You know what I mean?

He has jobs to do,
Other than sittin' around,

Waitin' on us all day.

God, we finally
Got it runnin'.

I'm really sorry, patti.

I'll accept the apology if he's
Still there to get this shine.

That the way
We need to go?

Yeah.

You got to remember,
Too, heavy as we are.

We running way deeper
Than normal.

We're haulin'
100 gallons of pepper shine

And a whole nother 50 gallons
Of the mayhaw,

The sassafras, and the pear,
So, with this weather --

It being windy
And rainy and cold --

You know, we just got to
Be careful, doing this.

God, boy, that's as cold as
A well digger's ass out here.

*bleep*

Could you have picked

Any colder time
To make this sale?

Hey, got to do
What you got to do.

Go down a little ways,
19 miles.

19? Good lord!

That's
The main ship channel.

Let's see how much
Further we got.

I'm ready
To get this done.

Me too.

Hang on, what's that?
The law?

What it looks like.Oh, frick.

We gonna go in that?

You've got to go through it.
There's no way around.

You don't think they'll check
These buckets, do you?

Bootleggers
And the coast guard

Have a long and
Turbulent history.

As prohibition-era rumrunners
Flooded american shores

With illegal whiskey,

The u.S. Coast guard
Went on war footing.

The cat-and-mouse game
On the high seas

Saw the federal force
Double in size,

Borrowing 50
World war I navy destroyers

And flying surveillance aircraft
For the first time in history.

While they couldn't
Outgun the feds,

Bootleggers turned to
Custom-built armored speedboats

To outrun them.

Innovative rummies
Also used smokescreens,

Hidden ship compartments,
And fake radio distress calls

To throw the guard
Off their trail.

Get up there,
And let's get it done.

Let's go see
What we got to do.

We've got to go through this.

Read that sign.
What does it say, pat?

Something about
"Beyond this point, keep out."

Somebody in there?

Oh, I did not plan on that.

Aw, hell.

Now what we got?

We got to get in this tank
Over here.

Get in the tank?Yeah.

Maybe youneed to
Get in the tank.

I'll hand you the stuff.

All right, well, hell,
I'll get in there.

Down in virginia,

It's tickle's
First day on the job

At climax distillery.

As tim's new
Assistant distiller,

He's getting his first lesson

In how things operate
On the legal side.

This is the tank
Where you cook the mash

When you first start.So this is your mash-in tank.

Your mash pot.

That's about it, yeah.Yeah.

For tim
To bring me in,

Starting up this new,
Big still and everything,

It really makes me feel good.

A job making moonshine
With my partner?

Yeah, I can deal with that.Okay.

Tim and tickle's relationship

Goes all the way
Back to the woods...

Watch, watch, watch!

I know,
When we work together,

We can make just about
Anything happen.

It's like, "United we stand,
Divided we fall."

...Through the good...

The moon is shining
On the moonshine.

Yeah, I know.

...The bad...

I'm thinking 'bout getting
Somebody else to help.

You know what?
I'm thinkin'

'bout getting somebody else
To help me do this, too.

...And the ugly.

Oh, no.

You got caught with
A sawed-off shotgun?

But for the two former
Outlaws from virginia...

I think you've been
Eating good.

I mean, really.

...Blood will always be
Thicker than moonshine.

And I'm not
Giving up on him.

We've been through
A lot of things.

So, we got
3,000 gallons in here.

3,000 gallons?
That's a lot of mash.

It is.

We've got electrical,
We've got pumps,

We've got all kinds of stuff.

We didn't have that
In the woods.

I can guarantee there's gonna be
Quite a few things

For me to learn.

But you see this pipe
That runs all the way around?

You see that?
Yeah.

All we got to do is
Just get that tied up.

In order to heat
The 3,000 gallons of mash

Evenly and without scorching,

The tank has been fitted
With steam pipes

That ring the inside walls.

If that ladder breaks,
You can't get out.

*bleep*

You gonna be
Trapped in there.

No, I'll get out of here.

Tickle!
It's my new crib.

What are you doing in there?It's a mash tank.

Think I'm gonna be
Real comfortable in here,

Especially soon as everything
Get to fermentin'.

Hell, no.

It's almost like old times,
Being back in the woods,

But, you know, it's just
On the legal side.

Do your thing.

You can run out of oxygen,
Though.

You need a fan?No, no, no, I'm good.

I can put a fan on in there.I'm good.

You know, people don't know,

You get in that tank,
You'll lose your oxygen.

Next thing you know,
You'll be laying in there

And I'll have to rescue you.

Hell, I know a fireman.

We get somebody to get you
Out of there.

Words can't describe
How happy I am over this.

I done went down the wrong road
For too many years.

It's about time
To try another road.

On the other hand,
Would it be easy for me

To want to go back
Out in the woods?

Yes.

Good deal.All right.
