Brian, get over here.

Come here!

Donnie, alright!

Folks, ladies and gentlemen,

it's time for the father and

Daughter dance.

Let's get 'em out here.

Let's see them move,

give them some room.

Light breezes seem to

whisper "I love you"

Birds singing in

the sycamore tree

Dream a little

dream of me

Say nighty night

and kiss me

Just hold me tight and

tell me you'll miss me

While I'm alone,

blue as can be

Dream a little

dream of me

Stars fading, but

I linger on dear

Okay, guys, everybody dance!

May I?

You may.

Enjoy.

Sweet dreams 'til

sunbeams find you

Sweet dreams that leave

our worries behind you

Darcy!

You're missing your own party!

Hi, I, I'm just

rehearsing my toast.

Oh.

You'll be fine. Honey, this is a

beautiful wedding.

I'm so happy for you!

Thank you Betty.

Thank you.

Um...

Bob...

I think he, he might have

a little thing for me.

Betty...

Yes, on a, a few occasions I

have suggested that he put his

Eyes back into his head.

Okay.

I just want you to know that I

have never encouraged it and I

Never would.

Because you're my best friend.

I know that, honey.

You are such a peach.

I know.

You deserve every good thing

that's happened to you.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

Bob, what's wrong?

Nothing...

Nothing, everything

is finally right.

Oh honey...

If I was a poet, I could tell

you how grateful I am for this

Second chance.

To be here, to see

all of this, but...

I'm just a lousy, coin

collecting accountant.

So all I can say is thank you.

Thank you so much.

Come on.

We need to get back in there.

Yeah.

Mrs. Moore?

Mrs. Moore?

Are you alright?

Darcy!

Petra?

Darcy!

Darcy!

Darcy!

Darcy.

Darcy!

Darcy!

Darcy!

- What? - Darcy, you're never going to believe it?

- What? - You're never going To believe it. - You're scaring the Jesus out of me, what?

Pick a hand.

- What? I don't want to play games, bob, what...

- come on come on come on, pick, pick, pick, pick!

You read my mind.

But you always could.

Found it in the change bear.

Y-You just found this?

Let me see this.

I was just going

through the change.

Oh my gosh. How many years

have you been searching for this?

Since I was 14 years old.

Oh!

Isn't it great?

I know.

I'm so happy for you.

So, what do you think?

Is it fine or very fine?

You're the expert?

Eh, I'd love to say VF, but...

I know, I know, I know.

- But it's better than VG.

- Oh, definitely better than VG.

Definitely. You know what,

if your dad was here,

he would be cracking open

a bottle of champagne.

I just know it.

Well, I will take care of that

tonight at pearl of the shore.

Oh, bob.

I, I don't know.

Come on, come on.

Put on your prettiest dress...

I will buy as much

champagne as you can drink.

Well, How about as much

champagne as you can drink,

and I'll drive home?

It's your find, after all.

Deal.

Oh!

Woo!

Alright, one more time!

Whoa!

Yes!

Am I going to get to

be a naughty boy, huh?

Oh, you might, you might.

Come here, come here...

Oh, I'm going to go upstairs and

I'm going to get

out of this dress.

And if you bring me some fizzy

water and a wedge of lime,

You just might get lucky mister.

But...

It will cost you.

How much?

For you?

Just a penny.

Wait...

Mhmm.

Oh!

For safekeeping.

I want you on top, alright?

Yes.

With the mirror.

Hey now, hurry up, hurry

up you naughty boy.

Here I come, ready or not!

Are you my bad bad girl?

Are you my naughty boy?

W...

Why did you push me?

Maybe it was

female exploration.

I so hoped that the

fall would kill you.

I knew it might not.

Agh!

Yeah, here I am, bobby!

Oh, I'm on top.

Just the way you

like it, right?

Right?

Okay.

That's fine.

That's fine.

That's fine.

I'm fine.

9-1-1, what's your emergency? Hello, this

is Darcelene Anderson calling from 24 sugar mill lane.

My husband just fell

down the stairs and I...

I just, I think I

might, he might be dead.

Ma'am, I'm going to need you

to go over and check to see if

He's breathing.

I already have help on the way.

For I am the resurrection

and the life.

And he who believeth on me,

even if he die,

Yet shall he live.

So we commit thy servant,

Robert Anderson,

To the ground.

In the sure belief that the

good works of his honest life

Will recommend him to thee

on the day of judgment.

Hang in mom.

Almost finished.

Would the family

like to approach?

Rest in peace, pop.

Miss you, dad.

They were very special to me.

Then why didn't you

put them in the coffin?

I forgot, pets.

But, hush.

May the lord bless

you and keep you.

May the lord raise

up his face upon you.

Nice dress.

If it was any shorter

you could see her a... don't you, ever.

Ever!

She's just upset.

Boy, is she ever.

Do you think there's

any booze in that limo?

I could use a drink.

Yeah, I'm buying.

Ah, thank you so

much Mrs. Anderson.

God bless you.

Mhmm, you too father.

You're very welcome.

Some good comes of

our greatest losses.

If you say so.

Hello.

Mrs. Anderson.

Yes.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I...

Whoops.

Oh.

Well thank you.

Holt Ramsey.

I'm with the office of the

state's attorney general.

Does ret mean you're retired?

Heh, well, I'm an old dog.

They toss me a bone now

and then, I chew on it.

Oh.

I think I've seen you.

Have you been here before?

According to the

Hindus, we all have.

Yes.

Um, what can I do

for you Mr. Ramsey? Inside would be better.

Oh...

My, this is...

A lovely home you

have here missus.

Look, a place for everything,

and everything in its place.

My wife would have approved.

How I miss her.

Just the way I imagine

I miss your husband.

Yes.

Um...

What may I do for

you, Mr. Ramsey?

I'm sorry, or is it

detective Ramsey?

Heh, donkey ears since

anyone called me "detective."

No, you go straight to Holt.

That'll do me just fine.

But, the thing is, I get

bored, just the TV for

Company, so I thought to

myself "I'll, what the hell,

I'll take that drive down to

cleaves mills and I'll just

Ask a few of my

little questions."

Here.

Have a look.

Turn it over.

Oh, I see you do know my name.

Indeed I do.

Both your names.

Uh, bob, Darcy.

BD.

Beadie.

Look at you.

Look at you both.

Rubbing our noses in it the

whole time, weren't you?

I'm sorry.

There are twelve women

who are dead missus...

I'm surprised you

can laugh at that.

Um, sit down right

there, and just be quiet.

Troublesome man.

Never touch that stuff.

You know you're crazy.

Could be.

But I noticed you haven't

asked me to leave yet.

I mean...

Agh, I probably don't have

much of a case, you know that.

Mm, you have no case.

Doesn't matter, missus.

There are ways,

and there are ways.

Once I come upon this

fella, way far upstate.

Killed his wife, two kiddies.

Tried to make it look

like home invasion.

I chewed on that old bone.

Got a taste for it.

Chewed that bone 'til the

fella got nervous and he ran.

Mhmm?

And what happened to him.

I chased him.

Right up into the

Haynesville woods.
