Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Scarecrow is a 1973 film directed by Jerry Schatzberg, starring Gene Hackman (in between The French Connection and The Conversation) and Al Pacino (in between The Godfather and The Godfather Part II).Max Millan (Hackman) has just gotten released from San Quentin after spending six years in prison. Max, whose volcanic temper is probably the reason he went to prison, has dreams of starting a car wash business. He's hitchhiking to Pittsburgh, where he has saved some $2600 in the bank as seed money. On a lonely road somewhere in California's rolling hills, he meets another hitchhiker, Francis Lionel Delbucci (Pacino). Francis has recently left the Merchant Marines after a five-year stint. Francis, whom Max christens "Lion", is hitchhiking to Detroit to look up his old girlfriend Annie. Francis impregnated Annie five years ago, which is why he joined the Merchant Marines in the first place, and he hopes to make amends.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The cheerful, happy-go-lucky Francis wins the trust of irascible Max, and they set off together hitchhiking to Pittsburgh, planning to stop in Detroit on the way. Many colorful adventures ensue.

Bittersweet Ending: Francis has had a mental breakdown and been institutionalized. But Max has vowed to take care of his friend and is going to keep his promise, as shown in the last scene where he gets a round-trip ticket from Detroit to Pittsburgh.

Max asks "What's for dinner?" Max's sister's friend Frenchy (Ann Wedgeworth) who is in Love at First Sight with Max and who is supposed to be cooking dinner, says "Oh shit!" Cut to the group eating takeout Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Answer Cut: Max asks "What's for dinner?" Max's sister's friend Frenchy (Ann Wedgeworth) who is in Love at First Sight with Max and who is supposed to be cooking dinner, says "Oh shit!" Cut to the group eating takeout Kentucky Fried Chicken. The duo get to a town. Francis asks "Is there something we can do here?" and Max answers "You mean, like, for a job?" Cut to Francis and Max being violently expelled from the back door of a diner, where their jobs (they're both wearing kitchen aprons) apparently didn't go well.
