I love this scene. It tells so much about the hubris of the city boys. You can predict early on that they're in over their heads. I was searching for Dickey's poetry, which is amazing, but found this.

It's such a fantastic scene. It was on here a while back but the link went dead. I'm glad to see it back!

This is amazing! I love it!

Isn't this a dupe?

Well, I was worried about that, but I looked around and couldn't find anything. There is something called Dueling Banjos, but it's not this here thing.
