Hey man.
What's up boy?
I want to tell you about your girlfriend.
What about my girl?
Well you don't look strong enough to meet the measure.
I'm strong enough.
I might hurt your feelings.
My feelings are already hurt by being here with you.
Well, I was walking down the street with your girl the other day.
Uh huh.
And the wind was blowing real hard.
Is that right?
_ Uh, the wind blew a hair into my face.
Uh huh.
_ You know what happened?
What happened?
The wind blew a hair into her face.
Yeah.
And we went looking for her.
She wasn't here the rest of it.
I meant it's real.
The wind blew a hair into the street.
_ _ _ _ Hey, since you told me about my girl, I'm going to tell you about yours.
_ I was walking down the street with your girl.
_ _ I took her home.
For a drink, you know.
Took her home?
Yeah, just for a drink.
But that chick looked so ugly, we had to sneak up on her glass to get her a drink of water. _ _ _ _ _
You got the nerve to call somebody ugly. _ _
Why you so ugly, tell the stock that brought you into the world all of your relatives.
_ _ That's all right.
_ My mama didn't have to put a sheet over my head so sleep is slippery. _ _
Hey, look here.
What's that?
Where you from?
South America.
_ What's that?
South America.
You don't look like no South American to me.
I'm still from South America.
What part?
South Texas. _ _ _
_ Where your western boots at?
I got them on.
_ You ain't got no boots on, you're broke ass. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Hey, look here.
What's that?
_ _ Let me try to figure out what you is.
I already figured out what you is.
What's that?
You're that thing I throw peanuts at. _ _ _
Hey, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ look here.
What's that?
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Why?
_ For calling people ugly.
_ _ I didn't call you ugly. _
What'd you say?
I said you was ruined, that's all. _
_ _ You know something?
What? _
_ _ You look like you been whooped with an ugly stick.
_ _ _ _ _ Hey, I ain't got nothing to do with it but I beat a fella right.
