Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for July 22, 2012
Transcript:
Alice: Dad, why are we stopping here? Dad:Let's get some watermelons! Petey: I hate produce. Dad: PETEY. Alice: Is he Pulpy Joe? Clerk: Me? Do you not know the story of Pulpy Joe? Clerk: 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... Pulpy Joe: Deal. Devil: Deal. Clerk: But the watermelon Joe grew was puny. He mocked the devil, who said that Joe's soul wasn't no bargain either. Clerk: 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? Clerk: Good day to you. Man: Did you just make that up? Clerk: Naw, it's a screenplay I'm writing. Do you think it'd work better with a grapefruit?
