SCENE FOUR. Outside meanwhile Cordell has taken a bag out of the shed next to the drive. Tears open the bag and drops the hickory chips into an empty oil drum. He quickly unwinds a water hose. Starts spraying the barrel. The door opens and shuts. Cordell looks up. He’s disappointed. It’s Everett. EVERETT You need some help? Beat. CORDELL Sho. Everett walks over. CORDELL (CONT’D) You can hand me that other bag. Everett opens the shed door again. A basketball rolls out as Everett digs deep inside. Everett reemerges with another hickory chip bag. He throws the bag down at Cordell’s feet. EVERETT So this another secret to the Crutchfield sauce? CORDELL Awww. It just add a little smoke to some of the wings. You throw these on the grill and it add a nice flavor. Gotta make sho these chips soak all the way thru over night tho. Otherwise they’ll burn on the grill. We going for a nice smokey flavor not a burnt one. EVERETT Spicy Cajun Alfredo with bourbon infused crumbled bacon hot wings. That should be illegal. This makes Cordell LAUGH.
