Store clerk:  Nearest Ford auto man’s Bristol.

Ulysses Everett McGill:  Hold on, I don’t want this pomade. I want Dapper Dan.

Ulysses Everett McGill:  Well, I don’t want Fop, goddamn it! I’m a Dapper Dan man!

Store clerk:  Watch your language, young feller, this is a public market. Now if you want Dapper Dan, I can order it for you, have it in a couple of weeks.

Ulysses Everett McGill:  Well, ain’t this place a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!
