1:11:01
She blew up the bank.
1:11:02
And that made her a hero?
1:11:04
Well, notorious, anyway. She was 10.
1:11:08
Oh.
1:11:09
Fortunately, nobody was hurt... except, maybe, the cat.
1:11:13
What cat?
1:11:16
The one with the dynamite on its back.
1:11:18
She blew up a cat?
1:11:21
- He was scheduled to die.
- From dynamite?
1:11:23
The vet said it had cancer,
1:11:26
so Eldon thought it'd be put in one of those chambers,
1:11:29
you know, the ones that suck their lungs out.
1:11:31
Little Mel, she couldn't bear the thought of that.
1:11:34
She, uh, she wanted somethin' more humane.
1:11:36
Yeah, sure.
1:11:38
So, they were doing some blastin' out by the new highway.
1:11:41
So, we, uh, we took old Fuzz up there,
1:11:44
taped him up.
1:11:46
Used about 30 feet of fuse just to be on the safe side,
1:11:49
said our prayers, and ran like hell.
1:11:51
Of course.
1:11:53
So, there we were, sittin' in Virgie's Diner,
1:11:55
feelin' pretty blue.
1:11:57
When Mel looks up and sees that damn cat,
1:11:59
trottin' down the road, searchin' for Eldon.
1:12:02
No shit.
1:12:05
Yeah, and we would have caught him, too,
1:12:06
but once that fuse hit his tail, boom, he took off like a shot.
1:12:10
And into the bank.
1:12:11
Well... the theory is,
1:12:13
he probably wriggled loose from the explosive.
1:12:16
'Cause, uh, people still see him from time to time,
1:12:19
scorched tail and all.
1:12:20
He's a little skittish around humans.
1:12:24
That's quite a story.
1:12:26
She was quite a girl.
1:12:28
#A little less talk and a little more action#
1:12:31
Whatever happened to her?
1:12:33
#And a few more rednecks...#
1:12:34
Oh, you know... wound up pregnant,
1:12:37
married some loser right out of high school.
