4: Here you go.
5-6: glug
7: Mmmm, that's good!!
8: How about another? We've got more Golden Cola than we can count back here.

1: happiness.
2: Hmm? Maybe...I can use that for the slogan of the new commercial.
3: No way.
4: You sure? I think it's pretty clever.
5: That's gonna be the new slogan for us and us alone.
6: Diane...

31)
1: Ah...oh no.
2: Hm?
3: It moved.

32)
1: Hm...a hitchhiker?
2: Why don't you give him a ride?
3: I'm kinda reluctant to...
4: Where to?
5: Oh, just down to Macom... (*tl note: The same name of the fictional Alabama town "To Kill a Mockingbird" takes place in)
6: Sorry 'bout this! You really saved me.
7: Yee-haw! All the Golden Cola a man could drink!!

33)
1-2: glug
3: Paaaaaahhh!!
4: ...so where are you two headed, anyway?
5: We're in the middle of driving from Florida to Dallas.
6: On our honeymoon.
7: Honeymoon?!
8: You two are man and wife?!
9: I was actually just transferred, that's all.
10(2b): After we got married, we had no time to go traveling, so we're using this move as a chance to take our honeymoon.
11: Well Iiiiii'll be!!
12: Ain't that a mighty fine story!!

34)
1: To see white folk and colored folk all together like this!!
2: This is a great generation we're in!!
3: Hey, brother!! Take good care of that beautiful bride you got!!
4: S...sure thing.
5: People say this transfer to Dallas is a demotion...
6: but I don't think of it like that at all.
7: Texas is where Johnson's from, after all.
8: Johnson?
9: Lyndon Johnson! The man who was announced as the Vice-President candidate for the Democratic party, under the Presidential candidate John F. Kennedy.

35)
1: Golden Cola also campaigned for Johnson, you know.
2: Hah! If Kennedy ever becomes president...
3: You know, Golden Cola is the #1 beverage in the Texas area.
4: Johnson is also proactive about doing away with segregation and the Civil Rights Act.
5: The Civil Rights Act...?
6: When my momma was raising us children, that was all she ever talked about...
7: That someday, the day would come...
8: Where is your mother now...?

36)
1: She's as healthy as a horse!! She said she ain't gonna die until the "good day" comes!!
2: Hey, want some good eatin'? This is my momma's world-famous cornbread!!
3: Wow, this is good!!
4: See? Finger-lickin' good, ain't it?!
5: Yeah, this is delicious!!
6: Take care now.
7: That's my line! Bear some healthy children!!

37)
1: That's right...this transfer to Texas isn't a demotion.
2: It's true that the entire family was against our wedding.
3: And I was told that I would have no hope of becoming company president because of this marriage...
4: But...
5: When my mother heard that you carried my child in your stomach, she allowed everything...
6: And more importantly, my father...
7: is trying to test me with this transfer.
8: I wouldn't have it any other way...

38)
1: As long as you're by my side, I can stand up to any fight.
2: Tony...
3: ...sounds cool, eh?
4: It's a famous line from that comic I love, "Billy Bat."
5: You know, the old version by Kevin Yamagata.
6: Oh come on.
7: Hahaha!!

39)
1: Another hitchhiker?
2: skid
3: Where to?
4: Paladin...but halfway is fine too.
5: Paladin happens to be the town we're planning to stay in tonight.
6: Sure you don't mind? Thanks.

40)
1-2: glug
3: Hoo! All the Golden Cola I can drink...I sure got in the right car.
4: Lately, I can't go without having a bottle.
5: What a good customer!
6: Speaking of Golden Cola, what's the story behind the company again?
7: They were delayed in going into business because of a share war, but Khrushchev took a liking to them and allowed them a monopoly sale in the Soviet Union...
8: Haha...well, there are many different rumors...
9: Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it.
10: Red or not, good cola is good cola.
11: No matter how many far-fetched ideas they put together about the socialist revolution, they can never beat good taste.

41)
1: That's how the principles of the world change, little by little.
2: Well said.
3: I mean, you two are a perfect example.
4: Up until now, I never thought the day would come when I'd see a negro and a white man together.
5: You couldn't even walk outside in peace, could you?

42)
1: This is a joyous thing.
2: Let me congratulate you from the bottom of my heart.
3: Th...thanks.
4: Oh, that's right...
5: There's going to be a bonfire close to here tonight.
6: A bonfire?
7: Yeah. There isn't anything else to see in a town like Paladin.
8: How about stopping by the bonfire?

43)
1: A bonfire, huh...? That doesn't sound too bad.
2: It'll be a grand event.
3: A good memory for your honeymoon.
4: What do you say?
5: Sure...
6: rustle

44)
1: A bonfire, out in a place like this...?
2: bam
3: Yep, right through here.
4: What will you do, Diane?
5: Ah...
6: I'll just stay here.
7: Go ahead by yourself.
8: Oh...alright, then I'll be back as soon as I take a peek.
9: This really doesn't seem like a place to have a bonfire, no matter how you look at it!
10-11: rustle

45)
1: yeah, yeah
2: do it, do it
3: Whaddya think?
4: Woah...
5: You're right. There's a shocking amount of people here.

46)
1-2: uuuaaaahhhhh

47)
1: ahhhhhhhhhhh

49)
1-7: haa
8: Wh...what's wrong?
9: screech
10: What's wrong?!

50)
1-2: shiver
3: Are you telling the truth...?
4: Y...yeah.
5: A colored man...a colored man was being burned...
6: Go to the police...
7: No!!
8: Why not? Someone was just killed!!
9: We need to hurry up and run away!! I clearly saw one of their faces!
10: And the place we're in now...
11: is the south...the Deep South!!

51)
1: Just hurry!!
2: To the police...!!
3: I understand what you're saying, ma'am...but...

52)
1: I'd advise you not to get any more involved in this.
2: Why?! A man was just...
3: I understand your feelings, but...
4: What's wrong, Jesse?
5-6: klak
7: N...nothing, sir...
