Bawling. Think of this man's life. When has he known such kindness? This scene is beauty itself. There is no irony. It is existentialism and sometimes existence is wonderful
i also like to think of how he read the bible and he can understand a good deal of it. but not all of it. i can barely understand past the first few pages and i’m an avid reader/writer.
This is such a beautiful movie, it's one of my all time favorites. The music playing adds such a nice soulfulness to this scene too. Simple and sweet, like the character and vibe. I think it's the way they look at the camera, it makes you feel like your there too.
I have to honestly say that I did not think I was going to like this film but I absolutely love it! The writing and acting performances were awesome! Great job Billy Bob!
It wasn't until recently that I realized that Linda is in the scene where Karl and Frank go into Hoochies Dollar Store. She says no lines during that scene but is at the counter doing paper work close to where Karl is standing.
I still have never seen this movie. Only clips of it on TH-cam. I had never even heard about it until I came across a clip of it on TH-cam. Then I had an itch to watch another clip, and another, and another. At one point I stumbled upon this clip above, and wholly cow. So powerful. It literally gets me to tears every time. There's so many little subtle things to pick up on in this 3 min scene, it's beautiful. One of my favorite parts is the subtle and underlying appreciation Karl's Co workers and boss have for him. You see them smile when he accepts the flowers, you see the boss make the other employee go get food so that Karl and the woman can have some alone time, when the boss urges Karl to get up and come see who is waiting for him the beginning, as if the boss himself is excited for Karl. It's just little stuff like that that's so beautiful. Easily one of my favorite scenes in all movie history. I will one day watch this movie from front to back.
What an excellent Detail in this movie , and so deeply Sad... Shows how Karl could have had a fairly Normal life, maybe even had a girlfriend, and been a friend and Mentor to Frank , if that monumental A Hole Doyle would have not pushed him over the edge , threatening Little Frank and his mom... What a total waste.
And a very happy life it would have been for him too. So many things not to worry about. Just the simple and good ones. Half the time I can't even get a good night's sleep. I envy Karl sometimes.
No, there really isn't. China for example has so many more men than women, that they started shipping the extra men to jobsites out of the country to avoid violent competition for mates.
That's Rick Dial playing the part of Bill Cox. From what I have read on the net, this is Rick's first acting job. Supposedly he was a childhood friend of Billy Bob Thornton from Malvern, Arkansas. He died in 2011 .
The love scene with Carl is very tastefully done, if you have the Unrated Version. When Melinda is almost falling asleep, she realizes Carl has been standing in the corner eating potted meat with his pants around his ankles...just watching her for a good 45 minutes. We then hear several long "mmm hmm" as the camera slowly fades to black. Very hot love scene.
The progression: release from hospital, familiarizes himself with the town, finds food, makes a friend, gets a job, becomes successful at the job, joins a family, meets a girl, along the way gains respect from people, closure with father, ultimately PROTECTS his new family.
This movie is like 3 hours long and it’s one of the best. Literally impossible to watch in the US unless you catch it on cable TV. I had no idea it was basically obsolete due to legal issues during filming.
*Sling Blade 2019 (aka The Forced Millennial Reboot)* Bill: Karl, this here is a phone. Karl: Don't look like no phone I ever seen. Looks like a little glass rectangle with little gizmos I reckon. But, if ye say it's a phone I ain't got no reason to doubt ye. Bill: Now Karl this here is an app. I'll explain apps later. But, this one here is called Tinder. Just take a look at all the fine ladies. If you see one you wanna take to the Frosty Cream, swipe right. Karl: I recon I understand. ...Bill? What if I don't want to take the fine lady to Frosty Cream? What if I just want to take'er right to the back room here? Bill: Well, Karl you'd still swipe right. Karl: So, ye said all the nice things about Frosty Cream. But, what ye meant was just carnal pleasures. Since I got out the hospital people seem to say one thing. But, they always mean another. Scooter: That's because we're all shallow and superficial now! Bill: Scooter! Why you gotta go and say things like that! Karl: At least Scooter's being straight with me. Bill, ye and just about everybody outside the hospital are startin' to sound like no-'count's.
People make fun of us southerners all the time. This scene is something they would use. If you can’t see the beauty in this scene you’re empty inside and we don’t won’t nothing to do with you any how.
This movie really makes u appreciate the simple things in life...
I reckon! Mmmmm Mmmmm!
And the simple people. 😭 🤣
I just bought it on ebay....should be here Friday
This is one of those movies that you start watching, not expecting to finish it, then a few minutes in, you're hooked.
69 likes mmmhmmm
I watched it about a million times I reckon. And I rightly plan to warch tomorrow
Wonderful scene. 'Sligblade' was so well written and acted, it's flawless

Yea it was Lisa
Yes!
It is a very good movie always liked it
"These are on sale 'cuz they're not fresh..." LOL! Such an honest remark that is both hilarious and adorable at the same time.
I love that moment at 1:30 when she hands him the flowers and u can see Bill and Scooter smile being proud of Karl.
Karl's boss was pulling for him so hard. The murder must have broken his heart
@@jaystef1627 I like to think old Bill Coxx understood.......maybe Doyle had been a customer atvonenpoint..at one-point....
I like how Dale and Scooter unabashedly walked out with Karl to watch the sparks fly.
Easily one of the best films ever made. One of my favorites. Alright, den!
Dude I gotta tell ya , this is my favorite scene. People are hardly ever that vulnerable, it's pleasant.
Bawling. Think of this man's life. When has he known such kindness? This scene is beauty itself. There is no irony. It is existentialism and sometimes existence is wonderful

I also laughed at the shocked look he gave Scooter when she mentions her "date" with Karl.

I find it sweet that she breaks down what she paid for the flowers.
It was a sacrifice for her given from genuine affection.
she still fat and stinks
This entire movie is an absolute masterpiece!
The ladies all go for the bad boys like Karl.
I wrecking he is mmmhmmmm
Haaaaaaaa!
Bad boys, Bad Boys....whatcha gonna do?
We go for deep, gentle guys like him uuhmmm.
Flowers is pretty I always thought that
This features possibly the most romantic scene in movie history.
Flowers is perty, i always thought that. Never truer words spoken.
that..... Is what you're going to attach "never truer words spoken" to???
I liked when she gave the minute details, including the price, about how she got them.

One of the greatest character portrayals ever done!
Facts
A classic work of virtuoso art by Billy Bob. I adored every minute of this all-around wondrous creation.♥
A Masterpiece!!
Its amazing how completely he transformed for this role. Unreal
Yes I cannot believe it was him
Better love story than 'twilight'
Jess K. My dog Humping the neighbors cat is a better love story!
It ain’t got no gas in it!! Mmmm Hmmmm!🤣
By a longshot
Twilight was a good book idc what ppl say
By far. Ugh, Kristen Stewart is such a terrible actress!!
I would have never guessed in 100 years that Karl was Billy Bob, got to be one of the best movies I've ever seen.
@Pineapple Pizza What are you talking about? Why do you keep calling everyone racist on this movie? Are you trolling?
@Pineapple Pizza What? Lmao how?
Homegirl played the heck out that role I laughed and cried
It wasn't until recently that I realized that Linda is in the scene where Karl and Frank go into Hoochies Dollar Store. She says no lines during that scene but is at the counter doing paper work close to where Karl is standing.
Correction: I meant "Melinda" is his date, not Linda.
This scene is so beautiful. Breaks me up every time.
Billy Bob Thornton completely disappeared in this role. Absolutely amazing acting work going on here.
He sure did. Marlon wold be proud.
I’ve noticed that he has difficulty making eye contact on many occasions. This is a Autistic tendency. Karl has Asperger’s syndrome.
He said in an interview that it physically hurt looking and talking like that all the time
I cried the first time I watched this scene... and every time since.
"Priddy flowers - but they aint got no mustard on em"
some of em was yeller tho
"Karl, you ain't supposed to eat the flowers!!"
One of my favorite Billy Bob Thornton Movies!

I tried to see it that way to Jeff, but if we're honest with ourselves it was only a matter of time before somebody got it☠☠
@@MrDinFla1 Yes, because Carl was too good. He couldn't let evil alone.
And a very happy life it would have been for him too. So many things not to worry about. Just the simple and good ones. Half the time I can't even get a good night's sleep. I envy Karl sometimes.
Well, he did like him some of them French Fried taters, mmmhmmm.
Your moms a total waste
Loved this movie! Billy Bob and John Ritter were incredible!
Just goes to show, there's someone for everybody.
That's real talk.
All right then!

I like a big bush.
No, there really isn't. China for example has so many more men than women, that they started shipping the extra men to jobsites out of the country to avoid violent competition for mates.
Helix Echoes My grandma used to say “every pot has got a lid.”
I love this scene! The flowers aren’t fresh, she used her employee discount to buy them, and they cost 2.99
If you've seen the Directors Cut of this movie. Karl gives the flowers to Frank so he can give them to that girl Frank told him about
Actually it was $2.99 plus 10% discount of 29 cents....
I had forgotten about Carls "girlfriend."
What a great movie. ❤
It's funny how Scooter is always greasy looking but never gets any work done.
Lots of cool movies have been made but this one has genius written all over it. The casting and character talent was superb!
While Billy Bob Thornton's performance makes me laugh most of the time, I really do appreciate all the heart and soft moments this film has.
The look on ole Bill’s face when she says “date” gets me every time lol...gold...

Beautiful movie. Billy Bob Thornton is the best to ger into a character like that. Love his work
There was absolutely nothing about Carl that makes me think I couldn't be best friends with him and be thrilled if he felt the same way about me.
Me too.
Because of the simple fact, you are a maroon, buck "O"
@@charlesfletcher2437 wtf is your problem?
charles fletcher
A “maroon”, eh?
Carl is way too smart to be your friend.
This really was a great movie
I went and saw it twice
Goddaminit scooter come on lets go
😂
Scooter too thick to know he's cock-blocking!!😁🤣🤣
Scooter is stupider than Karl
Better love story than Titanic!
Almost as good as the one I made with your mother!!
Still !!!
Billy Zane
Yes
and better than Twilight too! 😉
Movie scene of the year by far . Billy Bob Thornton killed it.
The clip when he orders food is great too 👍
And the way she looks down, and then back up at Karl with a tender smile in her eyes... perfect.
I'm not from america, but there is indeed a certain charisma to the southern feeling
I always feel there is a certain honesty about the south. Good and bad but its honest
Americas breeding grounds for stupidity

This scene really gets me in the feels ☺ Absolutely perfect choice of music, too...
Ole Karl bout to be slinging more than his blade lol
There is so much going on in this scene, mostly in the silences. It's just brilliant and very moving.
How did scooter get covered in grease and Carl is the only one that ever fixed anything?
If you worked in a shop you would know. The greenhorn is always the dirtiest sob in the garage.
Lol 😂 I was just thinking the same damm thing
He wipes it on every afternoon in effort to convince boss he's "really at it".
@@burpostockings Greenhorn?
Is it me or is that owner dude one of the coolest people ever
Bill Cox was such a nice bloke
Bill Cox is such an unbelievably solid dude. Underappreciated.

Unfortunately there's no way to make feeding a llama tater tot casserole into a serious scene.
That hair flip though. 2:18. God I love this movie.
It ain't got no gas innit!!
story of my life!
Later that night Carl realized he liked a different kind of biscuits with mayonnaise
That thumbs up was golden !
I love this movie.
One of my favorite movies

What a sweet scene. Like when Frank's mom makes Karl some biscuits. Thank-ye

scooter didn't check the gas and still wondering how the hell he hasn't got a date yet...
And just like that, Billy Bob never played another "character" again. For he was simply Billy Bob, in every single movie from then on.
My favorite movie ever.
Goddamnit Scooter.
Watch your language
Worth repeating.
1:20 i like the reaction of the guys behind karl
I like Karl's reaction ❤

Stop telling people this represents the south. I was raised in the south and never experienced anything like this scene.
I miss 90’s era Billy Bob....
Omg yes!
I miss the 90's!!
The perfect movie doesn't exi-
That moment...when you realize that Scooter was tryin' to hit that... 😂
Carl's boss sounds like principal moss from King of the Hill!!
Yup
It's GOTTA be him.
I'm gonna look it up, but the voice is just TOO dead fucking on to not be him lol
Dont forget the milk.... the background song slays 😂
Such an emotional and touching scene. 😢
This has to be the best scene.
He's a little slow but he actually thinks about the question and gives honest answers
There is always a Scooter in the crowd when you need them least.
This song is in my parents' wedding video because of this movie lol. 😂
So sweet.
The man has some game.
Love this part, my boy Karl!!!
