The Deep South. On the run from a chain gang, Everett (George Clooney), Pete (John Turturro) and Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson) have managed to hitch a ride with a passing motorist - serial bank robber George "Babyface" Nelson (Michael Badalucco). Sirens wail in the distance, as George greets his passengers.
"George Nelson. It's a pleasure."
Without warning, he opens the driver door and strides on to the car's running board, casually turning to Everett.
"Grab the tiller, will ya buddy?"
Somewhat aghast, Everett slides over and takes the wheel. With one arm holding on to the roof, George glances back at the police cars gathering speed behind, then gestures towards Delmar.
"Hand up that Thompson, Jack."
Delmar fumbles for a machine gun.
"Say, what line of work you in, George?"
Cut to George standing on the running board, laughing maniacally as he sends a hail of bullets towards the police.
"COME AND GET ME COPPERS! YOU FLAT-FOOTED, LAME-BRAINED, SOFT-ASSED SONS OF BITCHES! NO ONE CAN CATCH ME! I'M GEORGE NELSON! I'M BIGGER THAN ANY JOHN LAW THAT EVER LIVED!"
Still firing on his pursuers, he notices a herd of cows in an adjacent field.
"Cows... I hate cows worse than coppers."
He begins shooting at the herd. One cow falls to the ground as the rest stampede. Delmar looks out of the window, appalled.
"Aw, George... not the livestock."

Pointless trivia: Besides playing the homicidal maniac George Nelson here, Michael Badalucco also played the serial killer David Berkowitz in Spike Lee's Summer of Sam.
