Slagle script ii

On an icy, winter afternoon, Chad returns to the apartment, after getting his boots from the truck.

C: Yep, I had them tucked between the cab and bed. Your dad would be proud. Now he’ll know you married a redneck.

J’s Dad has made multiple mention of his opinion that boots placed in such fashion is absurd.

J: He already knew that.

C: I’m not a redneck.

J: Yes you are.

C: No, I’m a hillbilly. There’s a difference. Hillbillies make a conscious choice to live a certain way. Rednecks don’t know any better.

He continues: I don’t do redneck things like watch Nascar.

Pause.

J: Your mother watches Nascar.

C: I’m not my mother.

J. bites her tongue, working to formulate a response.
As we’ve seen in other entries, it’s all about the last word.


J (laughing): You’re a redbilly!
