Petey: Dad, why are we stopping here? Dad: Let's get some watermelons! Petey: I hate produce. Dad: Petey. Alice: Is he Pulpy Joe? Man: Me? Do you not know the story of Pulpy Joe? They say he was a farmer with fancy ideas about growing the world's largest watermelon. They say he sold his soul to the Devil, at the crossroads, at midnight... but the watermelon Joe grew was puny. He mocked the Devil, who said that Joe's soul wasn't no bargain neither. So the Devil cursed him. Now Pulpy Joe wanders the land lookin' for his head, but in vain. Petey: Wow! Produce is cool! Mom: How about that? Man: Good day to you. Man: Did you just think that up? Man: Naw, it's a screenplay I'm writing. Do you think it'd work better with a grapefruit?

Wow, it reminds me of a sports story. A skilled basketball player decided that he would never win an NBA title unless he stacked the deck in his favor. So he told his hometown where they could go and had his fellow All-Stars Dwane and Chris agree to bypass the normal team-initiated recruitment approach and team together, virtually ensuring that a backwater second-home “city” in southern Florida would land some NBA championship hardware. Man, selling your soul is SO worth it!
