Marty Byrde and Wendy Byrde in “Unfinished Business”

[Buddy Holly is singing on the car radio]

Here we go. Buddy Holly's a perfect example. Buddy Holly, the day he died, uh...

Yeah, I know, he won a coin flip, or he wouldn't have been on the plane.

No, it was actually Valens that won the coin toss. It was Buddy Holly that chartered the plane. Do you wanna know why?

'Cuz he was tired of riding in shitty buses?

No, he was tired of shitty underwear. So he decided that he wanted to get to wherever he was going as quickly as possible, so he could do laundry.

[Wendy Byrde chuckles]

It's true.

So you're saying "The Day the Music Died" was because of soiled briefs?

Another good example is D-Day. The Nazis knew that we were coming, so they wanted to line the beach with tanks so they could literally blow us out of the water. But Hitler decided that it was a good day for sedatives. So they couldn't wake him up to get the final sign-off for the tanks, and the rest is history.

What the hell are you talking about?

I'm talking about decisions.

What, I'm Hitler in this analogy?

I would hope not.

[chuckles] Uh, I'm just saying that any decision made, big or small, has an impact around the world. It's difficult.

Marty, I just don't need a theoretical analysis right now.

I know. I'm just saying this is tough.

I know... Marty, watch out!

[truck hits them]
