Americans are losing the distinction between “take” (applicable from the starting point) and “bring” (to be used in transit or at the destination).

One should not say he is going to “bring it back to where he got it,” but rather one will “take it back to where he got it,” and once in transit can say he has undertaken to “bring it back to where he got it.”

Or if you're Brandine, you tell Cletus, "You best bring 'em back where from ya got 'em."
