Name That Crop – The eccentricity of a Marriage for Obama

By way of context, Alex has taken 5 photos in four minutes. Of shacks. Or barns. He thinks they’re earthy. Seasick Steve is crooning bluesily on the speakers.

Alex: ‘Someone needs to buy Seasick Steve a new guitar. I mean, he’s a supremely talented guy, but he’s only got two strings on his guitar and they’re 50 years old. Someone needs to buy him a new guitar, or some new strings, is all. Someone should also buy him a razor. Then he could have some success and recognition on the hit parade.’

Russell: ‘You should work in A & R.’

Alex: ‘You should work in CVS…Ooh! Name That Crop…’

Russell: ‘Oh, man. Drivetime in your family must be a hoot. And since the last four Name That Crops were cotton, I’m gonna go with cotton.’

(Russell cracks knuckles)

Alex: ‘Do you have to do that? It’s not cotton.’

Russell: ‘Rapeseed?’

Alex: ‘Truth is, I don’t know what it is. I only know cotton. Ooh! Name THAT crop…’

Russell: (Exasperated) ‘I really don’t know.’

Alex: ‘Come on, mate. This is one you DO know.’

Russell: ‘I don’t.’

Alex: (Exasperated) ‘It’s COTTON!’

Russell: (Beat) ‘You missed a photo of a shack.’

Oops, and that's after just five days in the car together. What's it going to be like after five weeks? Still sounds like fun to me, though.
