No.

Mm.

You ain't got them..you don't

have any drawers in red, have you?

Hmm.

Cold enough for you?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Radio says it's going down

to 3 degrees tonight.

That pretty cold.

I'm just gonna leave it here.

Oh, I got my beans...sausage.

That sh*t smell no good.

And a half pound.

What about that boy they found up

there in that car yesterday evening?

What about him?

Damn shame.

$2.05.

Here we go.

Goddamn frozen b*tch.

Now, you and I have a big date tonight.

Okay.

Oh.

Hello.

Hi.

It's my pleasure.

I say, I know you waiting.

Something kept me.

Of course I certainly know.

It's chilly.

I might have to say,

that's the most beautiful dress

I've ever seen in my life.

Thank you.

It would be lovely to sit down with you.

I'm a little nervous.

I have a small confession to make to you.

Yes, I do.

You might be the most beautiful

woman I ever seen in my life.

I'd be very honored if

I could have one kiss.

Oh, yes, yes, I'm man enough.

I mean, of course I'm in love

with you then.

I didn't think you'd come out

that strong with it.

That's all I'm saying.

Oh, my god.

Oh, god.

God damn.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

You might be the most aggressive

girl I ever meet in my life.

Okay.

If that's the way you want it,

then that's the way it's gonna be.

I ain't nervous at all, no.

All right.

I'm gonna help you, okay?

Okay.

Let's go.

You...you talk dirty, you know.

You want nasty things done to you, huh?

That's the way you are.

That's the way it is, huh?

Oh, okay.

I'm gonna be an entire gentleman.

It's our first date.

It's our first date, huh?

Okay.

Okay, okay.

I'm coming! I'm coming!

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Come on.

Oh, god!

No! No!

No!

This our new home.

I know you don't like it.

Neither do I, god damn it.

That's the way it is.

F***er.

Howdy!

Hey!

What you doing?

I ain't doing nothing.

You're Ballard, ain't ye?

No, I ain't him.

You ain't Ballard?

Lester Ballard?

I told you, I ain't him.

Well, whoever the hell you are,

this here's private property.

Private property?

That's right!

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean nothing.

My goddamn property!

You f***ing probably ain't even seen.

God, I'll put a f***ing bullet in ye.

You wanna f*** with me?

God! Your property!

Get out of my property here!

It's not your property.

It's somebody else's property.

It's somebody else's...

F***!

God damn!

God damn, you see how I did!

Get off my property!

Get off my goddamn property!

It ain't your goddamn property!

That's my home!

Drop the rifle, Ballard.

Boy, you better stick it in the ground.

Do it!

Turn around.

Come on over here.

Come on over here.

Damn.

Stop.

Now, you just stand there a minute.

I leave my rifle back there.

Someone gonna find it.

I'll worry about your goddamn rifle.

I ain't done nothing wrong.

How come you scouting around

here in the woods?

What...for nobody can find you?

Because I know how they do it.

Throw you in jail.

Hmm?

Beat the sh*t out of you.

Deputy, this man ever been

mistreated up here?

No, he knows better than that.

Deputy says you cussed him.

Did you?

- What you looking over there for?

- I...I'm just looking.

Just looking.

He ain't gonna tell you what to say.

Well, he might tell me what not to.

Is it true you burnt down

Mr. Waldrop's house?

No, I haven't.

You was living in it when it burned.

I wasn't done it.

I left outta there a long time

'fore that happened.

Lester, you either gonna have

to find some other way to live

or someplace else in the world to do it in.

Where we going?

That's for me to know, and you're

gonna find out exactly where we're going.

That's for sure we never been there,

don't get mad at me.

All right.

God damn, let's work.

Okay, then that's it.

One last chance, okay?

I'm gonna put it down for one second.

God damn it, don't you lie to me.

You should've said that back then.

Okay?

That's a f***ing lie.

I know what you two been talking on,

conspiring against me,

betraying me after what I did for you.

Don't you cry.

Don't look at me like that, okay?

You ain't my friend.

I carried you.

I talk to you every night,

and you two stand there,

and you talk to yourselves without me.

I come back and something's different.

You're a f***ing liar!

You ain't my friend.

Out here...

I hear everything.

Everything you doing...

F***ing hear what you doing,

talking to me and whispering on me,

and goddamn f***ing betraying me!

Supposed to be family!

And you goin' and you're laughin'.

Now it's your turn.

Now it's your turn.

Yeah, I'm gonna teach you exactly...

exactly what they taught me.

It was right there.

I goddamn warned you.

Let's go.

Too bad we didn't get here a few days ago

before the rain washed all the tracks away.

Check the glove box.

There ain't nothing.

Check in up under them seats.

I done checked.

Well, check some more.

I found something.

What's that?

Bottle cap.

All right, let's get this turtledeck open.

If you was down here, wanted to

get up to the road, which you

would if you was here,

how would you go?

I'd just go right through

that little gully right there.

So would I.

Where do you reckon they is, Sheriff?

I don't know.

How long did you say her old

lady said they been gone?

Since last sunday evening.

Well, they might have just

run off together.

They weren't in the car.

Oh, they wasn't?

Nope.

Well, how'd it get down here?

I believe somebody shoved it

off down in here.

Well, hell, they might of just

run off through the woods together.

You oughta see how much he owed

on that car and see if that's

not how come it's down here

and he's gone.

I done have it.

It's paid for.

Well, where do you reckon

he got off to?

I reckon he's got to the same

place that gal's got to was

supposed to be with that boy

we found up here.

Well, she's supposed to be going

with that blalock boy we talked to.

Yeah, well...these youngsters

keep pretty active, some of 'em.

Come on.

Oh, sh*t.

Let's see your driver's license.

You ain't the law.

I'll be the judge of that.

What you was doing up here?

Well, we was just sitting here.

You was fixing to screw, wasn't you?

You better watch your mouth.

You wanna make me?

Put down that rifle and I will.

Any time you feel froggy, jump.

Watch your goddamn mouth!

Now, I told the fool, didn't I tell him?

Huh?

I don't know why people just

don't wanna listen.

Oh, god.

Yeah, that's right.

Why don't you just come on out there?

Come on.

Come on out of there.

What are you gonna do?

That's for me to know and

for you to find out.

Get on out.

Now, turn around.

What are you gonna do?
