- Karl goes to Vaughan's house and asks him to invite Linda over to stay tonight.
- Vaughan promises to do it so that Doyle won't be able to hurt Linda.
- Before he leaves, Karl gives Vaughan a small sack of money to give to Linda. It's his savings from fixing lawnmowers. There's a lot of green in that business.
- In the shed, Karl sharpens a blade. Some people call it a sling blade, but he calls it a Kaiser blade, mmhmm.
- Karl enters Linda's house, where Doyle is drinking a beer and reading the paper.
- Doyle doesn't think it's weird that Karl is there clutching a blade in his lap. How many beers has he had?
- Karl asks how to call the police.
- Before he answers, Doyle asks what Karl is doing with the lawnmower blade.
- "I aim to kill you with it," Karl says.
- Doyle tells Karl to call 911 and ask for an ambulance. "Or a hearse, if you aim to kill me."
- Karl then kills Doyle. Option B it is.
- In the kitchen, Karl picks up the phone and calls the police.
- As he waits for the police to arrive, Karl has some biscuits from Chicken Champ. With mustard, of course.
