Sonny Paluso and Donald Quinelle are two unfortunate people who have just lost their jobs, when they meet in a bar; Sonny's gas station has been blown away and Donald has just been fired by his boss's parrot. But that day, their lives change when they prevent a thief (Jack) from robbing the bar, and they become heroes. Unfortunately, Jack gets away, and when he sees Donald's face on the TV, he decides to go after them. In the meantime, Donald becomes obsessed with guns and leaves for the mountains, where he will learn to survive...
Jack, want some pancakes?
You shot my gun! You don't shoot a man's gun!
You think Wes is God don't you?
No, not God, just an ordinary man. Maybe a little ahead of his time, but just an ordinary man.
Wes is an asshole!
Blasphemy! Oh, you'll smoke a turd in hell for that!
Jaaaaaaack?
Yeah?
Time out, O.K.?
Time out?
Time out.
Whaddya mean, "Time out?"
You're not gonna believe this. I was in a hurry when I left the cabin this morning, and, well, silly me, I got the wrong bullets.
What kind of man gives cigarettes to trees?
Your basic survival comedy.
