I’m gonna find Great-Uncle Elmer in the lands beyond, and I’m gonna bring him back home. We’re gonna fly over America, open prairie and forest flash, gonna find oil and get the bad guys. Then at the end of the day, when the sun sets on me having beat death with the flick of a fat white wrist, then maybe I’ll have done enough to make him proud.
