Movie Scene : The Last Detail – Time for a beer

Buddusky wants to buy the boys a beer between trains.  He takes them to a quiet little bar he knows.  The bartender gives them attitude and wants to see some ID for the kid.  Buddusky starts to get pissed off and Mule chimes in and tells the bartender to “shove the beer up his ass sideways”.  Then Buddusky goes off on the guy, threatening to kick his ass if he doesn’t serve them.  The bartender says he’s going to call the Shore Patrol.  Buddusky pulls out his revolver, slams it on the bar “I am the fucking Shore Patrol..”  The boys leave all jacked up.  Outside they celebrate the incident, laughing and reliving the moment with a chorus of “You are a bad-ass”.

Great scene with Nicholsen going from gentle to mental.  Young, Quaide and McGovern are all in the moment feeling Jack’s heat.  CB was feeling it too.  Hal Ashby sets it up and the boys deliver, especially Jack.  He was doing some really good work in those days.  One of Babyhead’s favorite scenes.  Great scene, great movie.

Hey, Jack just wanted a fucking beer.
