Movie Moments XXV: No really, where is it?

I'll admit, it's been a while since I've done this, but it hasn't been for lack of trying. Several moments have tried to step up only to slink away when proved to be inadequate. Anyhoo, today's movie moment comes to you courtesy of the Coen brothers. What movie is it, you ask? Fargo? No, my friends, not Fargo, though that one certainly would warrant its own moment (or moments), and perhaps someday it will. Nope. Today I would like to draw your attention to the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou?, one of those movies where, if it's on, and even if it's somewhere in the middle, I'll probably end up watching it unless there was something else I wanted to see.

Now, there are more than a few parts of the movie that I like. There are more than a few characters that I like, one being George "Baby Face" Nelson, but this isn't about him or any of those other characters or scenes. No my friends, the moment I'm talking about happens right near the end, after our three heroes (or, at least I'm going to call them heroes) have been pardoned and Everett has been reunited with his wife Penny (or, ex-wife after that nasty train accident that didn't really happen, but well, you know...) and all that's left is for those two crazy kids to get married...and for Everett to get the ring. This new task sends Everett, Delmar, and Pete to the little home Everett and Penny shared with their daughters and right into the clutches of Sheriff Cooley, who's been chasing the three men ever since they escaped from the farm.

It is here, at the little house, just before the three are briefly recaptured (and before the flood), that Everett is telling his companions all about the happy life he shared there with his wife and daughters and how they would soon be able to see the "mighty oak tree out front and a happy little tire swing..." that one of my favorite lines of the movie appears as the trio arrives to find three nooses now hanging from the mighty oak, at which point Delmar asks, "Where's the happy little tire swing?" What can I say? It makes me smile every time I see it, and I hope that it always will. In fact, I'm probably going to have to repeat the line several times today for no apparent reason. (I just hope I'm not in public when I do, but if I am, oh well.)

Look, there it is!
