She worked here

for a short time.

Thought they were

gonna get hitched,

but some handsome

dude came through here

and that was the end of her.

That's terrible.

Yeah.

She about broke his heart.

Mine too.

I really liked that girl.

Oh well.

Oh.

Enough of her.

Wouldn't of worked out anyway.

Oh, Millie, you never know.

There's always somebody

out there for everyone.

Yes, but out there is

where they're at, honey.

Not here.

I often wonder sometimes

what would happen

if Billy's father hadn't

moved us out here.

What did he do?

Professionally, I mean.

Oh, he was a doctor.

That's what he started out as.

We met in college.

He had a very fine

practice in the city,

and then his folks died

and left us this property

and he decided to retire

and move us out here.

What happened to your husband?

If you don't mind me asking.

Oh no.

Frank, he died

about 15 years ago.

Stupid fool fell off the roof.

Oh my god.

Well, I told him to hire a

gutter man to clean 'em out,

but, oh no, he's a

stubborn, stubborn man.

Are you happy here?

Gets a little lonely,

but Billy and I do okay.

But you're gonna be a great

addition to the family.

Egg salad sound good?

Yeah, that sounds fine.

I'm gonna go call

my mom, let her know

that I'm not coming home tonight

so she won't freak.

Not that she'll notice.

Okay.

Hey, it's me.

I had car troubles

out her in Mitchell,

but they're working on it now,

so I'll probably

be back tomorrow.

All right, I'll

talk to you then.

Bye.

I'll tell you one

thing about that boy.

He's as good a mechanic as

his father was a doctor.

You must be starving.

Sandwiches are ready.

I am.

Thank you.

Okay.

I don't wanna be

a bad influence,

but how would you like to

join me in a little touch.

I did not take you as a drinker.

There's a lot of things about

me that might surprise you.

Great.

Thank you.

To our new member.

Cheers.

So, where's your father?

I wish I knew.

He left when I was little.

My mom is really

hard to deal with.

Actually, she's a b*tch.

Ooh, that's not

a very nice thing

to say about your mother.

But I can't hate

him for leaving,

because it's the only thing

I've wanted to do for years.

So what do you think

made her so unhappy?

Not sure.

She's never been sober long

enough to figure it out.

Well, it's a crying shame

she doesn't appreciate

a beautiful daughter

like yourself.

Awe Millie, you're so sweet.

Oh.

Not as sweet as this

Kentucky sour mash.

Here.

Add this up here a little bit.

All right, all right.

There we go.

Cheers.

Cheers, bottoms up.

Oh, my god.

Oh, well, young lady,

where did you learn

to drink like that?

Oh my god, what time is it?

It's almost 9:
30.

Millie, I'm so sorry.

I don't drink like that ever.

Like ever.

I don't know what got into me.

Honey, not to worry.

We girls have gotta have a

good time once in a while.

I went down to the general store

and I got you a toothbrush

and a few other things.

Thank you so much.

Do you know if

Billy fixed my car?

Oh yes, he had to go

into town for a part,

but he'll be right back.

Why don't you get

a nice hot shower

and I'll fix you

a good breakfast?

Thank you, that sounds perfect.

Good.

Sh*t.

Sh*t.

Come in.

Hey Millie.

Hi.

I need to run to a store.

Oh, what do you need, honey?

Oh, aunt Flo showed up.

Excuse...

Oh I haven't

heard that term in years.

It's just down the

block on the left.

Oh, the shower, I

couldn't get it to drain.

Oh, that again.

I'll call the plumber.

Sorry.

Okay, thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Oh sh*t.

Damn eggs.

Can I help you find somethin'?

No, thanks.

No party tonight, huh?

That's a f***ed up thing to say.

How much?

4.99.

Keep the change.

Hey girl.

What's up?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Easy, easy.

You're new around here.

Yeah, I'm new around here.

Now, could you

get out of my way?

I'm sorry, I'm not

trying to bother ya.

You know, just not very many

people to talk to around here.

I'm Brad, I'm the cook here.

Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed.

Nice to meet you, Brad.

Can I buy you lunch?

What's your name?

Amanda.

Damn.

Ooh.

Sorry, sh*t.

I mean sorry.

Easy, easy dear.

Oh, I see you've

met pastor Hastings.

Pastor, oh my god.

It's okay, honey.

Pastor Ben is also

our local plumber.

Well, small town like this,

we all have to wear many hats.

Ben, meet Amanda.

She's my new employee.

Ah, well, glad to

see you're sharing

one of your haves, Millie.

Nice to meet you, Amanda.

Oh, honey, come

on, use my bathroom.

Sorry.

Did you get

everything handled okay?

Weird, it just stopped.

Oh, Billy's got

your car running.

Oh really?

Yes.

Billy, you fixed it.

I told you he would.

I don't know how to thank you.

I topped off the gas

tank for you a little too.

Now, here's your breakfast.

Get yourself on the road,

and I can do without

you one more day.

I will be back bright

and early in the morning.

Thank you.

Drive safe.

Hey Billy, you're my hero.

That's a very nice girl, Billy.

If I didn't know better,

I'd say she kind of likes you.

Jesus Christ.

Hey girl, what is up?

Guess who got a job.

No way.

Where'd you find a job?

Some hotel out in Mitchell.

Where the hell is that?

Exactly.

Okay, hold on a second.

Donna, I'm gonna take my break.

Will you drop us some fries?

So, tell me about this job.

Well, it's actually

kind of perfect.

I have my own room,

it's full time, it's...

Wait, wait, so you're

staying out there?

Yeah, at least until I find

something closer to town.

What does your

mom say about that?

I haven't told her yet.

Here you go, Brittany.

Thanks Kim.

Thank you.

That is gonna go over

like a sh*t balloon,

and you know it.

I know.

I don't care.

She's so busy f***ing

dudes and drinking,

she doesn't even know I'm gone.

Yeah, but when

am I gonna see you?

Well, that's the great thing.

You can come out on the

weekends, you can stay with me.

We can clean rooms, make beds.

Wow, that sounds

amazing, Amanda.

Shut up.

It'll be good.

Yeah, okay.

I'd do it for you.

I know.

Where the hell are you goin'?

I got that job,

so I'm leaving for a while.

Wait, what's a while?

You're not

even gonna know I'm gone.

Are you saying

you're moving out?

I'm saying I gotta go, mom.

Fine!

Leave!

Leave just like everybody else!

Just like your father!

Leave!

Leave just like everybody else!

Oh honey, let me do this.

You haven't had a day

off since you got here.

Well, there's not much

to do besides the work.

Well, you can go to the

creek and do something.

It's okay, I think

I'd rather just...

Look, I'm the boss,

and the boss says

you're gonna take the day off.

Okay, fine boss.

I guess I could go to the caf.

That cook offered

to buy me lunch.

No, no no.

You don't wanna go

there, you just get sick.

I think his name is Brad.

I'll fix you something.

Come on, he seemed nice enough.

The food can't be that bad.

Oh you beautiful doll

you great big beautiful doll
