- See y'all soon.

You know, honey, we really should get

Mama and them to come up and visit us.

- You said "Mama and them. "

- Yeah.

You know, Alvin said he was gonna start

drinkin' pop instead of beer, just like that.

Yeah. He told me that. J.C.'s the one

that needs to start drinkin' pop.

That boy goes through

a whole bunch of vehicles.

He gets uncoordinated

when he drinks, you know.

- Cross-eyed, just about.

- Yeah.

Do you ever get tired

of things?

- Like what?

- Like the way you are.

Yeah. I even get tired

of the way you are.

Well, I meant both of us,

yeah. Everybody else too.

English are smart,

it seems like.

They even talk pretty

when they're mad.

When we had

that head-on collision...

I didn't really see

that cowboy's eyes get big as plates.

That's just a old sayin'.

I seen you.

Just for a second.

Kind of like in my mind, you know?

- What was I doin'?

- Just holdin' your hand out.

Sometimes things seem magic,

know what I mean?

I sure do, baby.

I had fun, too, this week, you know,

besides all the horrible things.

It's kind of good seein' everybody

in the same spot.

And we got that dream started

about us a honeymoon.

It's kind of like that book

they had us read one time in school.

It started out sayin', "It was the best time I

ever had, and it was the worst time I ever had. "

- I believe it was by Dick somebody.

- I'll be dogged.

Hey, boys.! Wai a minue.!

Hey.! Come back.! Come here.

Whoa.

We forgot something, didn't we?

What'd we forget?

- To tell us we love you.

- That's right.

- I love you.

- I love you.

- I love you.

- I love you.

- I love you.

- We said it at the same time, didn't we?

- Mm-hmm.

- That's cool, huh?

All right. Y'all's mama is gonna pick

you up this afternoon after school, okay?

- Okay.

- Daddy's gotta go back to work. Y'all go play. Be careful.

Okay.

Don't throw any rocks

at anybody.

All right. Come here.

I know what you want.

You want a hug,

don't you?

Have a good day.

See you girls later.

- You're so safe.

- I know ha.

Miss Montgomery,

can we borrow y'all's hose?

Sure, hon.

What's goin' on, honey?

Little Ricky

borrowed the hose.

Huh? What?

Little Ricky

borrowed the hose.

- Playin', sprayin' one another.

- Oh.

- Morning.

- Good morning, baby.

I had a dream that

we got a station wagon.

I had a dream

I stopped usin' protection.

Protection?

You know, my deal.

My diaphragm.

I didn't know you used one

of them things, hon.

I thought I should.

- Don't they stop babies from happenin'?

- Of course. That's the point.

Right?

So I've been puttin' up with all that sh*t

from Daddy all these years about grandbabies...

and I've been shootin'

at a steel door?

It just didn't seem

like it was okay to have one.

Now it seems okay.

Babies know when

they're supposed to get here.

That's what I think.

They sure do, honey.

There was a carload

of'em in that dream.

- How many of'em?

- Two or hree of'em.

Will you look at me in the eyes

next time we do it?

I sure will, baby.

I promise you.

It's gonna be okay, baby.

It seems like there's a lot more air

today than there usually is, don't it?

Yeah. It does seem like it,

don't it?

Some clouds comin' in.

- Maybe here's a sorm comin'

- No.

Them ain't storm clouds.

Billy Bob Thornton

Billy Bob Thornton (born August 4, 1955) is an American actor, filmmaker, singer, songwriter, and musician. Thornton had his first break when he co-wrote and starred in the 1992 thriller One False Move, and received international attention after writing, directing, and starring in the independent drama film Sling Blade (1996), for which he won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor. He appeared in several major film roles in the 1990s following Sling Blade, including Oliver Stone's neo-noir U Turn (1997), political drama Primary Colors (1998), science fiction disaster film Armageddon (1998), the highest-grossing film of that year, and the crime drama A Simple Plan (1998), which earned him his third Oscar nomination. In the 2000s, Thornton achieved further success in starring dramas Monster's Ball (2001), The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), and Friday Night Lights (2004); comedies Bandits (2001), Intolerable Cruelty (2003), and Bad Santa (2003); and action films Eagle Eye (2008) and Faster (2010). In 2014, Thornton starred as Lorne Malvo in the first season of the anthology series Fargo, earning a nomination for the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or TV Movie at the Emmy Awards and won Best Actor in a Miniseries or TV Film at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards. In 2016, he starred in an Amazon original series, Goliath, which earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama. Thornton has been vocal about his distaste for celebrity culture, choosing to keep his life out of the public eye. However, the attention of the media has proven unavoidable in certain cases, his marriage to Angelina Jolie being a notable example. Thornton has written a variety of films, usually set in the Southern United States and mainly co-written with Tom Epperson, including A Family Thing (1996) and The Gift (2000). After Sling Blade, he directed several other films, including Daddy and Them (2001), All the Pretty Horses (2000), and Jayne Mansfield's Car (2012). Thornton has received the President's Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, a Special Achievement Award from the National Board of Review, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has also been nominated for an Emmy Award, four Golden Globes, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards. In addition to film work, Thornton began a career as a singer-songwriter. He has released four solo albums and is the vocalist of the blues rock band The Boxmasters. more…
