Is that so?

You and Alma, that's a life?

Now you shut up about Alma,

this ain't her fault !

The bottom line is:

We're around each other and. . .

and this thing grabs hold of us again. . .

in the wrong place. . .

. . .in the wrong time. . .

and we're dead !

I tell you, there. . .

there were these two ol'

guys ranched up together. . .

down home. . .

Earl and Rich. . .

And they was the joke a town, even

though they were pretty tough ol' birds.

Anyway, they found Earl dead. . .

in a irrigation ditch.

They'd took a tire iron to him,

and spurred him up,

and drug him 'round by

his dick 'till it pulled off.

- You seen this?

- Yeah, I was about 9 years old.

My daddy, he made sure

me and my brother seen it.

Hell, for all I know, he'd done the job.

Two guys livin' together?

No way !

You know, we can get together,

once in awhile,

way the hell out in the

middle of nowhere, but. . .

Once in awhile?

Ever' four f***in' years?!

It's like:

If you can't fix it Jack,

you got a stand it !

For how long?

As long as we can ride it. . .

There ain't no reins on this one. . .

Well, it's nearly suppertime.

Where the hell d' ya think you're goin'?

To work !

Yeah? Well, I thought you had the day off ?

Well, you thought wrong !

- The girls need to be fed.

- Well, you take care of it !

Alma.

Alma !

- Supper's on the stove !

- No one's eatin' unless you're servin' it !

I promised I'd take the extra shift !

F***in' tell 'em you made a mistake then !

Goddammit, Alma !

Alma !

- You girls need a push or somethin'?

- No.

Listen to her purr, gentlemen !

You ain't goin' a get that with yer caddy !

I told you what she could

do, now let me show you. . .

Say, didn't that piss-ant

used to ride the bulls?

He used to try. . .

[Ennis, See you in a couple weeks

fish should be jumping. Jack]

Honey. . .

Have you seen my blue parka?

Um, last time I seen it you was in it. . .

Day we had that big ass storm.

Well, I could've sworn I'd seen it in here.

You know, you been goin'

up to Wyoming all these years.

why can't your buddy come

down here to Texas and fish?

'Cause the Bighorn Mountains ain't in Texas.

And, I don't think his pickup

can make it down here anyway. . .

New model comin' in this week, remember?

You're the best combine salesman we got !

You're the only

combine salesman, in fact. . .

Yeah, well, I'll be back in a week,

that is unless I freeze to death. And

I'll freeze if I don't find that parka !

Well, I don't have the goddamn parka !

You know, you're worse than Bobby

when it comes to losin' stuff.

Oh, speakin' a Bobby, did you call

the school 'bout gettin' him a tutor?

- I thought you were going to call?

- I complain too much.

-That teacher don't like me.

- Right. - Now it's your turn.

Ok, fine. So I'll just. . .

I'll call later.

All right, fine. Bye !

- I have 14 hours of drivin' ahead of me.

- See, now it don't seem fair !

You goin' up there 2 - 3 times a year,

with him never comin' down here. . .

Ennis, they got an openin'

over at the power company. . .

it might be good pay.

Well, as clumsy as I am, I'd

probably get electrocuted.

Daddy, the church picnic's next weekend.

Will you be back from

fishin' by next weekend?

Please, daddy, please ?!

Well, all right, as long

as I don't have to sing !

Daddy !

You forgettin' somethin'?

You're late !

Look what I brought !

Whoa !

There you go, no hands !

It's all yours now !

Go ! C'mon ! C'mon !

It's Saturday night, you know,

we could still smarten up and

head on over to the church social. . .

That 'fire and brimstone' crowd?

Well, I think it'd be nice. . .

Ennis? As far behind

as we are in the bills. . .

it makes me nervous not

to take no precaution. . .

If you don't want no more of my kids,

I'll be happy to leave you alone. . .

I'd have 'em, if you'd support 'em. . .

Yuh. . .Jack, I. . .

"When? How? or Where?"

"You always just respond with:"

"Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps..."

Si, senor?

"And so pass the days,"

"Me, always so desperate..."

"And you, always

just answering:
"

"Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps..."

Why mama? I'm goin' a be eatin'

this food for the next two weeks !

Hey, you heard your mama.

When you finish your meal,

and then you can watch the game.

Daddy?

Hell, we don't eat with our eyes.

You want your boy to grow up

to be a man, don't you, Dolly?

Eh, boy's should watch football.

Not 'till he finishes eatin' the meal. . .

NOW YOU SIT DOWN

This is my house. . .

and you are my guest.

Now you sit down before I knock

your ignorant ass in a next week !

Daddy, tell about when you

rode broncs in the rodeo.

Well, it's a short story, honey. It was

only 'bout 3 seconds I was on that bronc.

Um, the next thing I knew, I

was flyin' through the air !

Only I was no angel like you and Jenny here.

I didn't have no wings.

And that's the story of

my saddle bronc career.

There you go !

You ought a get married again, Ennis.

Me and the girls worry 'bout

Hmm. . .well, once burned. . .
