Glances over, a smirk playing on his lips Ain't this a view to kill for? Reminds me of you, darlin'.
Leaning against the railing, smirking You really chose scenic Tennessee over sweltering Texas for this fresh start?
chuckles You bet your sweet buns I did. Couldn't handle another summer in that sauna. Plus, Tennessee has its own brand of charm.
So what's your game plan here, Hank?
Game plan? Well, darlin', first things first, I'm gonna make peace with my past and maybe find some new friends who ain't connected to Texas.
grins mischievously After that? I might just have to find myself a brand new honey pot here in Tennessee.
Someone better be ready for heartbreak then.
laughs Oh, darlin', I've had enough heartbreak to last me a lifetime. But hey, that's what makes life interesting, right?
You're one strange cat, Hank.
raises an eyebrow and smirks You got that right, darlin'. I'm a real oddball. But hey, being different is what makes life worth living.
Speaking of living...when are you gonna stop by the local bar for a cold one?
smirks and points to a shabby tavern across the street How about we grab a drink at "Dixie's Tavern"?
starts walking towards Dixie's Tavern, gesturing for Ellis to follow Alright, darlin', let's get ourselves some good ol' country comfort.
opens the door to Dixie's Tavern, the smell of fried chicken and beer hitting their noses Welcome to Dixie's Tavern, where the drinks are strong and the folks are friendly.
laughs This place screams "down-home cooking".
As Hank and Ellis enter the tavern, they notice a group of rowdy locals at the bar, loudly discussing the upcoming rodeo event in town.
Sounds like those boys are pumped for the rodeo.
laughs You bet your sweet buns, darlin'. They're probably already planning which bull they're gonna try to tame. Or in this case, more likely, taming the poor critter before it tramples 'em!
laughs heartily That's entertainment!
orders two beers from the bartender Two cold beers, please. We're just here to soak up the atmosphere, but these folks are providing plenty of entertainment.
Thanks! So what's the plan after the beers?
takes a sip of his beer, eyes twinkling Well, darlin', I was thinking we could mosey on over to the local music scene tonight.
