A scene from O Brother, Where Art Thou? 2000
Everett

Well, it didn't look like a one-horse town, but try finding a decent hair jelly.

Delmar

Gopher, Everett?

Everett

And no transmission belt for two weeks, either.

Pete

They dam that river on the 21st. Today's the 17th.

Everett

Don't I know it.

Pete

We got but four days to get to that treasure. After that, it'll be at the bottom of a lake. We ain't gonna make it walkin'.

Everett

That's right.

Delmar

Gopher, Everett?

Everett

But the old tactician's got a plan. For the transportation that is. I don't know how I'm gonna keep my coiffure in order.

Pete

How's this a plan? How we gonna get a car?

Everett

[producing a pocket watch]

Sell that. I figure it can only have painful association for Wash.

Pete

[reading]

"To Washington Bartholomew Hogwallop, from his loving Cora. Amor Fidel... is."

Everett

It was in his bureau. I reckon it'll fetch us enough cash for a good used auto-voiture, and a little left over besides.

Delmar

Whoo! You got some light fingers, Everett. Gopher?

Pete

You miserable little snake! You stole from my kin!

Everett

Who was fixin' to betray us.

Pete

You didn't know that at the time!

Everett

So I borrowed it until I did know.

Pete

That don't make no sense!

Everett

Pete, it's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart. [hears a congregation singing nearby] Now, what the hell's that singing?

Delmar

Appears to be some kind of a... congregation. Care for some gopher?

Everett

No, thank you, Delmar. A third of a gopher would only arouse my appetite without beddin' her back down.

Delmar

Oh, you can have the whole thing. Me and Pete already had one. We ran across a whole gopher village.
