NEBRASKA
   
David Grant decides to drive his father Woody to Lincoln, Nebraska to collect on a sweepstakes win, even though he knows that the contest is a scam, a fact his father refuses to recognize. After Woody injures  himself while on a bender, David talks his father into going to see family in his hometown of Hawthorne, Nebraska. On November 10, 2013 [1:02:25 – 1:12:10] after a family dinner they watch the Bears vs. Lions game. They run into Woody’s old business partner, Ed Pegram who threatens legal action over money he says he is owed and Peggy Nagy, a former girlfriend of Woody who is planning on doing a newspaper story about Woody and his fake contest win. Woody’s wife Kate and David’s brother Ross come to visit. David and Ross try to steal back the air compressor they think Ed Pegram stole years ago from their father. There is a confrontation with Woody’s family about money each claims the other side owes. After Ed Pegram finds the letter and reads it aloud in a bar to embarrass Woody, David punches him out.   Eventually Woody and David reach the sweepstakes office, where all Woody gets is a hat. David sells his car so Woody can drive “his“ new truck through Hawthorne.
