I don't believe I've ever been in here before. 00:40:15.615 --> 00:40:19.073 I don't believe this store used to be here. 00:40:19.152 --> 00:40:23.589 It's been here 17 years. You live here before, or something? 00:40:23.657 --> 00:40:27.753 I was born and raised here up till I was 12 year old. 00:40:27.827 --> 00:40:30.057 What brings you back? 00:40:30.130 --> 00:40:32.223 What's that you say? 00:40:33.233 --> 00:40:35.292 Why are you here now? 00:40:36.303 --> 00:40:39.170 They turned me loose from the state hospital.

Mm-hm. 00:40:49.683 --> 00:40:52.516 - You have family here? - Not to speak of. 00:40:52.585 --> 00:40:57.284 Hey, Karl. Guess what? Momma said you can stay over with us out in the garage. 00:40:57.357 --> 00:41:00.485 Our car won't fit in there anyway. It's real neat. 00:41:00.560 --> 00:41:04.052 Frank told me about your situation. Frank loves company. 00:41:04.130 --> 00:41:06.758 You know, especially after his daddy passed an' all. 00:41:06.833 --> 00:41:10.394 There ain't no sense in you staying in that old greasy shop. 00:41:10.470 --> 00:41:14.065 - He's mentally retarded, poor thing. - He just got out of the state hospital. 00:41:14.140 --> 00:41:17.132 - I know. - Can we get some candy and pop? 00:41:17.210 --> 00:41:19.906 - Sure thing.

He likes the way he talks. 00:41:27.087 --> 00:41:29.453 He helped him carry home the clean laundry. 00:41:29.522 --> 00:41:33.049 He's been in the state hospital a long time. There must be something wrong with him. 00:41:33.126 --> 00:41:36.254 He's retarded's all. You know he's always after a father figure. 00:41:36.329 --> 00:41:38.559 Lord knows, Doyle ain't a good one with his mean ass. 00:41:38.631 --> 00:41:42.328 - What about me? - I don't think he sees you as a "guy" guy. 00:41:42.402 --> 00:41:44.734 Oh, Karl's a "guy" guy? 00:42:03.390 --> 00:42:05.551 This is what I call my secret place, 00:42:05.625 --> 00:42:09.117 'cause I come out here when I feel like being by myself. 00:42:09.195 --> 00:42:13.461 I used to come here with Karen Cross. She's kind of like my girlfriend. 00:42:13.533 --> 00:42:15.524 Or used to be. 00:42:15.602 --> 00:42:18.469 We used to come out here and hold hands and talk, 00:42:18.538 --> 00:42:21.701 and read books to each other with a flashlight. 00:42:21.775 --> 00:42:24.539 She didn't want to have nothing to do with me in front of people, 00:42:24.611 --> 00:42:28.672 'cause I don't have any money. Well, Momma and me, I mean. 00:42:28.748 --> 00:42:31.774 See, her daddy's a dentist, so they're rich. 00:42:32.519 --> 00:42:35.044 Was your folks well off? 00:42:35.121 --> 00:42:39.751 No, we didn't have too much. Just barely enough to scrape by on, I reckon. 00:42:39.826 --> 00:42:42.693 They still around, your folks? 00:42:42.762 --> 00:42:46.960 My mother's dead. My daddy, he's supposed to be around still. 00:42:47.033 --> 00:42:49.297 But he don't wanna have nothing to do with me. 00:42:49.369 --> 00:42:51.462 How do you know? 00:42:51.538 --> 00:42:57.033 Well, he never did want to. I figure he probably ain't changed his mind much. 00:42:57.110 --> 00:42:59.442 How did your momma die? 00:43:01.648 --> 00:43:06.051 You don't need to hear things like that. You're just a boy. 00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:09.247 You need to think about good thoughts while you're still a boy. 00:43:09.322 --> 00:43:12.621 There's plenty of time for all the other. Mm-hm. 00:43:12.692 --> 00:43:15.286 I've had a lot of bad thoughts since Daddy died. 00:43:15.361 --> 00:43:19.695 Sometimes I wish I was still real little and he was still here. 00:43:19.766 --> 00:43:22.667 Momma's real good, but I wish I had both of 'em. 00:43:22.735 --> 00:43:25.329 We went to Memphis in the car one time. 00:43:25.405 --> 00:43:27.999 It was raining so hard, we couldn't see the road. 00:43:28.074 --> 00:43:30.804 But I wasn't scared, 'cause as long as Daddy was driving, 00:43:30.877 --> 00:43:32.868 I thought nothing could happen to us. 00:43:32.946 --> 00:43:36.040 That's the way I feel about Momma now. 00:43:37.717 --> 00:43:42.848 Momma has a boyfriend now. His name is Doyle Hargraves. 00:43:42.922 --> 00:43:45.686 He works construction, so he makes a pretty good living. 00:43:45.758 --> 00:43:48.625 But he still don't help Momma out with any money, though. 00:43:48.695 --> 00:43:51.289 He ain't no good. He's mean to her. 00:43:51.364 --> 00:43:54.527 He don't like me at all. Momma says it's 'cause he's jealous, 00:43:54.601 --> 00:43:57.627 'cause I belong to my daddy instead of him. 00:43:57.704 --> 00:44:02.539 He spends the night over at our house sometimes, and he's got his own house. 00:44:02.609 --> 00:44:05.908 Somebody told me it's where he can have more girlfriends. 00:44:05.979 --> 00:44:08.140 I like it on the nights he ain't at our house. 00:44:08.214 --> 00:44:10.546 I ain't so nervous then. 00:44:12.652 --> 00:44:16.816 How come her to still be girlfriend an' all with him if he mean to her? 00:44:16.890 --> 00:44:19.688 She says it's for the times when he's good to her. 00:44:19.759 --> 00:44:24.355 She's lonely since Daddy died. Sometimes she says she don't know why. 00:44:24.430 --> 00:44:27.058 He threatened to kill her if she ever left him. 00:44:27.133 --> 00:44:31.763 My daddy would kill him if he was still here and somebody was mean to Momma. 00:44:31.838 --> 00:44:35.899 Vaughan, he's real good to Momma. Vaughan that you met. 00:44:35.975 --> 00:44:38.068 But he's not able to do anything to Doyle. 00:44:38.144 --> 00:44:41.375 He's funny, you know. Not funny ha-ha, funny queer. 00:44:41.447 --> 00:44:43.711 He likes to go with men instead of women. 00:44:43.783 --> 00:44:46.411 That makes him not be able to fight too good. 00:44:46.486 --> 00:44:48.579 He sure is nice, though. 00:44:48.655 --> 00:44:52.887 He's from St. Louis. People who are queer get along better in a big town. 00:44:52.959 --> 00:44:55.450 I wish he liked to go with women. 00:44:55.495 --> 00:44:58.589 I'd rather him be Momma's boyfriend than Doyle. 00:44:59.866 --> 00:45:04.394 Karl, you know when I told you Daddy got hit by a train? 00:45:04.470 --> 00:45:06.597 Yes, I recollect that. 00:45:07.607 --> 00:45:13.068 It ain't the truth. He shot himself with a shotgun on purpose. 00:45:13.146 --> 00:45:15.876 How come he would do that, reckon? 00:45:16.683 --> 00:45:20.642 'Cause he didn't have enough money to take care of us the way he wanted to. 00:45:20.720 --> 00:45:26.283 That's what the letter said. He got laid off at work and started working odd jobs. 00:45:26.359 --> 00:45:29.487 I thought he took care of us just fine. 00:45:34.434 --> 00:45:37.198 Karl, did you really kill somebody? 00:45:38.204 --> 00:45:41.332 - Yes, sir, I did. - Who did you kill? 00:45:41.407 --> 00:45:44.604 - Two people. - Were they bad people? 00:45:44.677 --> 00:45:46.668 I thought they was. 00:45:47.647 --> 00:45:50.673 Well, maybe they needed it. 00:45:50.750 --> 00:45:56.245 Well, I growed up and learned that you ain't supposed to kill nobody. 00:45:56.322 --> 00:45:58.722 It's all right if you're looking out for yourself. 00:45:58.791 --> 00:46:02.784 If it's self-defense. Was it self-defense? 00:46:05.898 --> 00:46:10.460 My daddy was good. I think too many good people die. 00:46:10.536 --> 00:46:12.868 That's what I think. 00:46:35.361 --> 00:46:37.886 Karl, are you sure you wanna go stay with these folks? 00:46:37.964 --> 00:46:41.764 You're welcome to keep on staying here. It's working out real good. 00:46:41.834 --> 00:46:43.995 That boy wants me to. 00:46:44.904 --> 00:46:47.702 All right, then. I'll see you bright and early. 00:46:47.774 --> 00:46:49.765 How are you coming along with that garden tiller? 00:46:49.842 --> 00:46:52.640 I fixed it. It's working pretty good now. Mm-hm. 00:46:52.712 --> 00:46:57.274 You done fixed it? Well, I'll be damned. Scooter told me it couldn't be fixed. 00:46:57.350 --> 00:47:01.150 Of course, Scooter's about as shiftless as one poor son of a bitch can be. 00:47:01.220 --> 00:47:04.815 You done fixed it. Well, I'll just be damned. 00:47:04.891 --> 00:47:08.918 - Well, I'll see you tomorrow. - All right, then. 00:47:16.402 --> 00:47:19.929 I don't guess I give a shit, 'cause, I mean, I ain't here that much anyway. 00:47:20.006 --> 00:47:23.772 If you want a retard living out in the garage, I guess that's your business. 00:47:23.843 --> 00:47:26.073 Of course, I do got some tools out there and a set of sockets 00:47:26.145 --> 00:47:29.273 I'd rather not have stole. I could take those home with me. 00:47:29.349 --> 00:47:31.442 He's real honest.

You were taught that, weren't you? 00:58:12.191 --> 00:58:14.284 I've heard it said thataway, yes, sir. 00:58:14.360 --> 00:58:19.889 Anyway, it's hard to live gay - that's the right way to say it - 00:58:19.965 --> 00:58:21.956 in a small town like this. 00:58:22.034 --> 00:58:24.798 I've wanted to leave many times, but... 00:58:25.738 --> 00:58:33.406 because I love Linda, Frank, and a certain other person, 00:58:33.479 --> 00:58:34.707 I... 00:58:34.780 --> 00:58:38.841 They've kept me from leaving. Look, anyway, I'm rambling.

I'm very in tune, maybe even psychic. 00:59:04.810 --> 00:59:08.041 But Doyle is going to make your life hell. 00:59:13.118 --> 00:59:16.383 There's... there's one more thing. 00:59:16.455 --> 00:59:21.188 It's none of my business why you were in the state hospital. 00:59:21.260 --> 00:59:24.354 Everybody has something in their past. 00:59:24.430 --> 00:59:26.364 Maybe... 00:59:26.432 --> 00:59:29.026 you tried suicide, 00:59:29.101 --> 00:59:32.070 maybe you did something... terrible. 00:59:32.971 --> 00:59:36.065 But what I see before me 00:59:36.141 --> 00:59:41.238 is a gentle, simple man. 00:59:42.081 --> 00:59:46.211 All I want you to promise me... 00:59:47.152 --> 00:59:51.213 is that you are capable of being around Frank and Linda. You know. 00:59:51.290 --> 00:59:56.523 You would never hurt either one of them under any circumstances, would you? 00:59:58.063 --> 01:00:00.623 I wouldn't never hurt them. 01:00:01.533 --> 01:00:07.699 That's what I thought. OK. Look, I'm sorry if... if I've offended you in any way. 01:00:07.773 --> 01:00:11.038 You seem like a thinker, you know. 01:00:11.110 --> 01:00:14.204 You seem to always be deep in thought. 01:00:15.214 --> 01:00:19.480 Tell me something. What are you thinking right now? 01:00:23.889 --> 01:00:30.089 I was thinking I might wanna take me some of these potatoes home with me. 01:00:30.162 --> 01:00:32.392 Oh. How about before that? 01:00:39.505 --> 01:00:41.666 Let me think. 01:00:43.775 --> 01:00:45.902 Before that I was thinking 01:00:45.978 --> 01:00:51.575 I could use me another six or eight cans of that potted meat, if you got any extra. 01:01:01.160 --> 01:01:03.526 Frankie, get some more salad. 01:01:05.030 --> 01:01:07.931 Hold your plate up for me, Frankie. 01:01:08.767 --> 01:01:12.897 I'm just gonna reach. So, how come Karl won't eat here with us? 01:01:12.971 --> 01:01:16.429 I don't know. He said he'd eat out there. 01:01:16.508 --> 01:01:18.567 I wouldn't let it get to you. Put some of this dressing on it. 01:01:18.644 --> 01:01:20.134 - No, no. - Yes. 01:01:20.212 --> 01:01:23.204 I just feel sorry for the poor thing. 01:01:24.850 --> 01:01:27.819 Who the hell could eat with him making all that goddamn racket in his throat? 01:01:27.886 --> 01:01:31.219 - It's raunchy. - He does make some funny noises. 01:01:31.290 --> 01:01:33.190 Well, I like the way he talks. 01:01:33.258 --> 01:01:37.126 It sounds like a racecar motor idling. It makes me not be nervous. 01:01:37.196 --> 01:01:39.221 Well, I'm glad of it, honey. 01:01:39.298 --> 01:01:42.563 What have you got to be nervous about? You're a damn kid. 01:01:42.634 --> 01:01:44.966 You ain't got no bills to pay. 01:01:45.037 --> 01:01:47.369 You got no business to run. You don't even have to have a job. 01:01:47.439 --> 01:01:50.636 You got no old lady eating on your ass all the time. 01:01:50.709 --> 01:01:54.008 Well, I don't know.

You've really had a lot of alcohol. 01:07:32.284 --> 01:07:36.448 When you've been drinking as long as me, Vaughan, you build up a tolerance. 01:07:36.521 --> 01:07:39.649 Hide that between your legs for me, will you? 01:08:00.779 --> 01:08:04.545 - Hey, Freddy.

You're liable to throw him out. 01:08:30.342 --> 01:08:33.436 - Looks like you got a wagonful. - Uh-huh. 01:08:33.511 --> 01:08:37.504 We ran out of something to drink. I'm headed over to the county line to get some. 01:08:37.582 --> 01:08:39.982 You wanna race? 01:08:40.051 --> 01:08:43.384 You know better than that, Doyle. We're on duty. 01:08:43.455 --> 01:08:47.357 But I'll catch you next week with that 327. 01:08:47.425 --> 01:08:50.292 Yeah, you'll try. 01:08:55.367 --> 01:08:58.393 What exactly are you talking about? I don't understand. 01:08:58.470 --> 01:09:01.997 Exactly the point, my young levelheaded friend. 01:09:02.073 --> 01:09:05.531 - I don't get it. - Well, I rest my case. 01:09:05.610 --> 01:09:08.773 Morris is real smart with philosophies and things. 01:09:08.847 --> 01:09:11.975 That's why him and me is the songwriting team of our group. 01:09:12.050 --> 01:09:16.009 See, I come up with the good tunes, or melodies as we call 'em, 01:09:16.087 --> 01:09:18.612 and, um, Morris is the lyrics. 01:09:18.690 --> 01:09:21.454 Not unlike Gary Brooker of the Procol Harum. 01:09:21.526 --> 01:09:23.460 We don't ever play any songs that y'all wrote. 01:09:23.528 --> 01:09:26.463 I ain't heard one of 'em. Y'all just talk. 01:09:26.531 --> 01:09:29.932 We don't even play any songs with words at all that I remember. 01:09:30.001 --> 01:09:34.233 We ain't got no fucking microphone. We ain't got no speaker set up. 01:09:34.305 --> 01:09:37.035 We wrote one last night outside the minimart, 01:09:37.108 --> 01:09:41.477 and, um, Morris called it "Stuart Drives a Comfortable Car." 01:09:41.546 --> 01:09:47.041 And then, like in country songs, you know, in parenthesis it says: 01:09:47.118 --> 01:09:50.281 "There's usually someone in the trunk." 01:09:50.355 --> 01:09:53.449 And, um, I came up with a tune, just a-hummin'. 01:09:53.525 --> 01:09:56.688 See, you don't wanna question a genius, Vaughan. 01:09:56.761 --> 01:09:59.423 Morris here, he's a modern-day poet, 01:09:59.497 --> 01:10:01.727 kinda like in the olden times. 01:10:01.800 --> 01:10:04.234 Yeah. I got a new tune. 01:10:04.302 --> 01:10:09.171 This composition's entitled "The Thrill." Goes something like this: 01:10:09.240 --> 01:10:11.970 "I stand on the hill 01:10:12.043 --> 01:10:14.034 "Not for a thrill 01:10:14.112 --> 01:10:17.309 "But for a breath of a fresh kill 01:10:17.382 --> 01:10:20.545 "Never mind the man who contemplates 01:10:20.618 --> 01:10:23.610 "Doing away with license plates 01:10:23.688 --> 01:10:26.452 "He stands alone anyhow 01:10:26.524 --> 01:10:29.652 "Baking the cookies of discontent 01:10:29.728 --> 01:10:32.925 "By the heat of the Laundromat vent 01:10:33.398 --> 01:10:35.628 "Leaving his soul..." 01:10:35.700 --> 01:10:41.036 Then, like in poetry, I go dot-dot-dot, you know, kinda off-center, 01:10:41.106 --> 01:10:43.472 then I drop down, and then I go: 01:10:43.541 --> 01:10:47.443 "Leaving his soul parting the waters 01:10:47.512 --> 01:10:50.913 "Of the medulla oblongata of..." 01:10:53.318 --> 01:10:55.513 "...mankind" 01:10:55.587 --> 01:11:00.923 A damn good song, weren't it, Doyle? You like that song? All right. 01:11:00.992 --> 01:11:02.892 I don't think that's right. 01:11:02.961 --> 01:11:07.955 I believe the dot-dot-dot come between "medulla" and "oblongata." 01:11:12.137 --> 01:11:16.039 - Well, it did. - The dots are where I say they are. 01:11:16.107 --> 01:11:19.440 Melody and tune - that's your trade, Terence. 01:11:19.511 --> 01:11:21.911 You're a tunesmith. 01:11:21.980 --> 01:11:24.073 I don't understand the meaning of the words. 01:11:24.149 --> 01:11:27.209 If y'all don't shut up, I'm gonna go outta my mind. 01:11:27.285 --> 01:11:32.086 Besides, Karl here's liable to bust a spring. He's already off balance. 01:11:32.157 --> 01:11:35.320 That wasn't the way you made it up before, Morris. That's all I know. 01:11:35.393 --> 01:11:39.762 We don't need no fancy words. I mean, we need to practice. We need to rehearse. 01:11:39.831 --> 01:11:43.631 I'll tell you what we need. We need some paying gigs. 01:11:43.701 --> 01:11:46.864 We don't need this messing around, first on one patio and then another. 01:11:46.938 --> 01:11:49.998 - That's ridiculous. - Amen, Johnson. 01:11:51.876 --> 01:11:55.107 We don't got no goddamn band! 01:11:55.180 --> 01:11:58.411 We don't need to fucking practice, Randy! 01:11:58.850 --> 01:12:02.013 We don't need a shit-ass manager neither. 01:12:02.821 --> 01:12:06.723 You motherfuckers!

It don't matter if you ain't no good. 01:32:46.090 --> 01:32:48.581 It takes your mind off everything else, 01:32:48.660 --> 01:32:51.595 and when you're running real fast trying to score a touchdown, 01:32:51.663 --> 01:32:54.188 that's all you're thinking about. 01:32:54.265 --> 01:32:58.099 I ain't no account, but Daddy always said he was proud of me 01:32:58.169 --> 01:33:01.229 when I threw the ball or ran with it. 01:33:01.306 --> 01:33:05.709 Did you have any brothers and sisters, growing up, to play with? 01:33:05.777 --> 01:33:08.041 I had one there for a little bit, 01:33:08.847 --> 01:33:11.042 but, uh... 01:33:11.115 --> 01:33:14.243 it didn't get old enough for me to play with it. Mm-hm. 01:33:14.319 --> 01:33:16.651 Why not? It died? 01:33:16.721 --> 01:33:18.655 Yes, sir. 01:33:18.723 --> 01:33:21.248 Why? 01:33:21.326 --> 01:33:23.920 It got born a little too early. 01:33:24.362 --> 01:33:29.459 My mother and father, they made it come out too early some way or another. 01:33:29.534 --> 01:33:32.025 So it died when it come out? 01:33:33.338 --> 01:33:36.774 My daddy, he come out there to the shed and got me 01:33:36.841 --> 01:33:39.469 and said, "Here, take this and throw it away," 01:33:39.544 --> 01:33:43.981 and he handed me a towel with something or other in it. 01:33:46.017 --> 01:33:51.819 I started for that barrel, and... I opened up the towel to see what was in there, 01:33:51.890 --> 01:33:57.123 'cause there was a noise and something moving around in it. 01:33:57.195 --> 01:34:01.632 That towel was all bloody-like, all around it there. 01:34:06.037 --> 01:34:10.337 It was a little old baby, not no bigger than a squirrel. 01:34:11.109 --> 01:34:13.168 It was alive? 01:34:13.244 --> 01:34:15.906 Yes, sir. Right then it was. 01:34:17.582 --> 01:34:20.380 A boy or a girl? 01:34:20.451 --> 01:34:22.783 It was a little old boy. 01:34:24.789 --> 01:34:27.223 You threw it in the trash barrel? 01:34:27.926 --> 01:34:30.759 Well, that didn't seem right to me, 01:34:30.828 --> 01:34:33.126 so I went in there in the shed and got a shoe box 01:34:33.197 --> 01:34:39.067 and emptied out the screwdrivers and washers and nuts and things out of it. 01:34:39.137 --> 01:34:42.402 I taken the little fella and put him in the box, 01:34:42.473 --> 01:34:45.965 buried him out there in the corner of the yard. 01:34:46.044 --> 01:34:49.013 That seemed more proper to me, I reckon. 01:34:49.814 --> 01:34:53.409 It was still alive when you buried it? 01:34:53.484 --> 01:34:57.079 I heard it a-cryin' a little through that box. 01:35:01.492 --> 01:35:05.360 That don't seem right. It seems like you would have kept him and took care of him 01:35:05.430 --> 01:35:07.455 if he was your brother. 01:35:07.532 --> 01:35:13.061 I wasn't but six or eight. I reckon I didn't know what to do. 01:35:13.137 --> 01:35:16.402 I didn't know how to care for no baby. 01:35:16.474 --> 01:35:19.568 My mother and father didn't want him. 01:35:20.478 --> 01:35:23.743 They learned me to do what they told me to do. 01:35:24.549 --> 01:35:26.744 These days I figure it was probably best 01:35:26.818 --> 01:35:31.755 we just give him right back to the Good Lord right off the bat anyhow. 01:35:32.190 --> 01:35:34.681 That makes me feel real sad. 01:35:35.760 --> 01:35:38.058 Couldn't you have done something, Karl? 01:35:38.129 --> 01:35:40.620 I would have. I wish I'd had him. 01:35:40.698 --> 01:35:42.791 He'd still be right here now. 01:35:42.867 --> 01:35:44.596 Living. 01:35:45.937 --> 01:35:48.269 It makes me sad, too. 01:35:48.906 --> 01:35:53.240 I wish there was something I could have did about it. 01:35:54.979 --> 01:35:59.313 I don't think nothing bad oughta happen to children. 01:35:59.384 --> 01:36:03.548 I think all the old bad things ought to be saved up for the folks that done growed up. 01:36:03.621 --> 01:36:06.112 That's the way I see it. Mm-hm. 01:36:09.260 --> 01:36:12.388 I shouldn't have told you about that. 01:36:12.463 --> 01:36:15.921 A boy your age ought not to hear such things. 01:36:16.000 --> 01:36:18.161 It just kinda come out. 01:36:18.970 --> 01:36:21.837 I didn't mean to say nothing bad about you. 01:36:21.906 --> 01:36:24.739 You're good. You don't mean no harm. 01:36:26.044 --> 01:36:31.778 Did you ever think about killing yourself on purpose, like Daddy did? 01:36:33.217 --> 01:36:35.549 I've studied about it some. 01:36:36.554 --> 01:36:39.045 The Bible says you ought not to. 01:36:40.525 --> 01:36:43.961 Says if you do that, you go out to Hades. 01:36:44.028 --> 01:36:48.328 Some folks call it hell, I call it Hades. Mm-hm. 01:36:48.399 --> 01:36:52.836 Bible says the same thing about killing others, too. 01:37:01.846 --> 01:37:04.178 Yes, sir, I reckon it does. 01:37:23.067 --> 01:37:25.968 I always get nervous when I hear that doorbell. 01:37:26.037 --> 01:37:30.531 I'm OK walking over here, but there's something about that dang doorbell. 01:37:30.608 --> 01:37:34.442 They have one room where you can't walk on the carpet or sit on the furniture. 01:37:34.512 --> 01:37:37.413 I don't see much sense in having it. 01:37:42.353 --> 01:37:45.186 Son, why you keep on coming over here 01:37:45.256 --> 01:37:47.656 and you know these folks don't want you here? 01:37:47.725 --> 01:37:50.125 They run you away every time. 01:37:50.194 --> 01:37:54.153 Don't keep doing this to yourself. You's a sweet boy. 01:37:54.232 --> 01:37:58.328 Why don't you go and give them flowers to somebody that's gonna enjoy 'em? 01:37:58.402 --> 01:38:01.428 Ma'am, I really wanna give them to Karen. 01:38:04.008 --> 01:38:06.306 You his daddy? 01:38:06.377 --> 01:38:08.811 No, ma'am. 01:38:08.880 --> 01:38:12.008 Well, whoever you are, you need to try to talk some sense into him. 01:38:12.083 --> 01:38:17.146 That little old girl is too fast for him, and she don't wanna see him no way. 01:38:17.221 --> 01:38:20.520 Will you get her for me, please?
