A cord has to be 4 feet high.

Germain, come on.

If you'd helped out

when you were kids,

you'd know how to do this.

Jesus, we spent every fall

chopping wood!

Are we wasting our time here?

God dammit! We're busting

our asses, but nothing...

Sam found you three jobs yesterday.

One as a substitute,e

milk-truck driver

one to haul loads to the States

and one to La Romaine.

I already did my stint

in James Bay.

What's all this?

You went to the job centre?

No, I just asked around.

Bruno's looking for someone

to plow snow this winter,

clear some roads and driveways.

Stop moping around and use

your unemployment to your advantage.

Clear snow in the winter

and do odd jobs in the summer.

You'll be retiring soon enough.

It's not like you need a new career.

- You guys think it's so simple.

- It's not simple. It's logical.

You're not in my shoes.

No wonder we're a couple

of lazy bastards.

So did you get lucky with Rebecca?

No, don't be stupid!

I just wanted to see her again.

I'm messing with you.

Check this out.

Remember that time we went,o visit

Uncle Jack in Lawrence

and that guy on the bike got hit

by a truck on the bridge?

Yeah...

We'll never know if he died.

If he isn't dead

he's gotta be close.

It slammed right into him, remember?

I replay it in my mind

sometimes... Wham!

His helmet flew into the air.

What? You didn't see any of it.

You were asleep.

- Oh, I saw it all right!

- No!

- F***, I saw it!

- I'm telling you, you were asleep!

But you heard the story

over and over.

- No.

- Yes!

I was sitting up front with Dad.

You and Mom were asleep in the back.

Remember, Mom got upset because

you said you wished you'd seen it?

F***! You're absolutely right!

She chewed me out.

That's crazy!

I've been telling that story for

20 years and I believed every word!

I'm sure it's not

the only story of yours like that.

You're nuts!

Thanks a lot!

Help me with this, would you?

To make it worth your while,

you usually

have to start out earlier

and stay at the cabin

for a couple of days.

We got nothing else to do.

That's why we came.

We can spend the whole week here

if you'd like.

If we're gonna do it,

might as well do it right.

I can fire a gun pretty good

with my left hand.

You know... a gun.

- How do you know?

- I go to a shooting range.

Like in the movies?

With those giant earmuffs?

When you're hunting,

keep your mouths shut!

And let's pick up

the pace a little.

Hunting sure is a sh*t load of fun.

Look!

Did you hit him?

Slowly! He's gotta be close by.

Don't scare him.

Come on, Dad!

Yeah, JC, go get the truck.

I'll gut him while I'm waiting.

You'll see. I'm about 500 feet

north of the shelter.

What are you doing?

He... He just popped out

right in front of me.

We've been tracking him

for a half-hour. I hit him good.

We were tracking him

to see where he would die.

And I should take your word for it?

Just look at the trail of blood!

It's not my problem

you only nicked him!

I'm the one who killed him.

God dammit!

The bullet's near his heart.

Wanna call the game warden?

Be my guest!

Get out of his face, man.

Back off, you son of a b*tch!

Back off or I'll shoot!

Nobody move!

Guns on the ground, a**holes!

Let's talk about this calmly.

We're not animals.

Put your gun down!

Now you listen to me!

We don't need this, all right?

This is our buck!

The law is very clear on that.

You know what the law is?

You can't claim a deer that's

being hunted by someone else!

Especially if it's already hit.

Secondly, you have no business

pointing a rifle at my son!

If I were you, I'd get out of here

pretty goddamn fast.

And never let me catch you pointing

a gun at my father again. F*** off!

Get going! You can pick up

your rifle at-the gate tomorrow.

Feels strange having a gun

pointed at your face.

There's a lot more going on here

than in the city.

I wouldn't go that-far.

Anyway...

You're shaking.

That's it, Dad.

- It's gonna take a while, huh?

- Yeah.

We should sell it and use the money

to open our own garage.

You're a riot.

Laurel and Hardy.

Laurel and Hardy Auto Repair!

I'd have to put

a few pounds back on!

I'll help you.

And here I thought you were dead.

Nope!

Holy cow, he's so long!

- That's one hell of a moose!

- He's f***ing huge!

He's licking the floor!

Let's turn him around

to the other side.

His tongue is sticking out.

What are you watching?

The time Dad shot the moose

back behind the house.

I didn't know we had this.

I don't remember

having a video camera.

It was Joe's.

Wow. There's Mom!

Hey, this is a library book.

"March 25, 1990, Samuel Racine. "

At 5 cents a day...

Twenty years...

That's about 8,OOO days.

How much does that come to?

8,OOO times 5 is $400.

That's expensive.

I don't think I even read it.

I gotta work Monday.

I don't want to.

You're going back?

I thought you would quit.

Nope. I have to get

on the road tomorrow.

I'm staying.

Are you serious?

I'm gonna move into the cottage

and start an auto-repair shop

with Big Marc.

You'll go crazy.

Why?

Think about it for a second.

You think I'm better off

in my motel room?

No, but you and Dad

living in the same town...

Dad's all right.

Sometimes.

Well, I think I've got everything.

If you need anything,

let me know.

Depends on what.

- I made you some CDs for the road.

- Will they last the whole trip?

If you drive like you usually do,

it'll be just right.

Idiot!

Have a good trip back.

Drive careful.

There's no snow to worry about.

Odd for this time of the year.

Quit that crappy job, would you?

Well, it's been fun.

Thank you.

- Hi!

- Heard you bagged a deer, Germain.

Yeah, me and the boys

brought home a buck.

On our first day. Pretty lucky.

I ran into your youngest

the other day.

We're getting up there, huh?

It's like they grew up overnight.

Seems like just yesterday

they were babies. It goes so fast.

They're really great kids.

No question.

Cecile raised them all by herself.

But they still turned out

exactly like me.

That's what I told Alain.

Just like his old man!

So are you retiring?

I really should work

until my pension kicks in.

I don't think I want to go back

to working in the woods though.

That's what Alain said.

If you want, I'll put you second

or third on my snowplow list.

From the first snowfall

until April.

You'd have plenty of work.

No trucking roads

or trips to the States to deal with.

A driver with your experience

doesn't grow on trees.

Thanks.

I could even find you some work

here and there in the spring.

They're rebuilding that road.

It's your call.

That'll take

a couple of years for sure.
