Sometimes he get off it, so he gets like this

- I don't take medication!

- You gotta take those pills.

- My name isn't Charlie!

You can tell me,

it's all ok.

He says

his name wasn't Charlie.

that? I don't know

if he has another name or something,

I've always called him Charlie.

You mad at me?

Sh*t!

Great.

I take better care of critters

a whole lot better than you take care of your children.

Right.

Tell me exactly what happened.

Sir, I just want to say that...

I understand if you're upset but...

Tobe had nothing to do with it.

if there was any fault at all it was definitaly mine.

You don't have to apologize.

I think it's important to take

responsability for your actions.

Nothing's more you can ask a person than take responsability

how about not breaking the law with a minor?

well yeah sure

But that dont apply cause that wasn't the case

It was a misunderstanding.

Tobe, tell your friend here...

It'll take a little bit more honesty

to win m over.

- I don't give a sh*t if he wins you over!

- Hey!

See you, Lonnie.

Thanks alot.

- Stop!

- Let me go!

You sit down and talk to me!

I don't want to talk to you.

- Let me go!

- calm down!

F*** you!

you want me to f*** off, I'm your f***ing goddamn father.

I'm her f***ing father.

If I catch you near that nutcase,

I'll break his f***ing ass!

Wait, go back in.

- Stop it, dammit!

- Let go!

Get the hell back in

Tobe, i am Sorry.

- Get the f*** away from me.

- You all right?

Get the f*** away!

- What are you doing?

- Knocking on your window.

- What were you doing?

- Sleeping.

how did your window get broke?

It was just an accident.

- did he get rough with you?

- No.

- You swear?

- Yes.

did he say anything about me?

He just said he didnt want me

to see you anymore.

- You're not gonna listen to him, are you?

- No way.

Will you come take a walk with me?

I can't.

There's a religious parade down the road.

Spanish Lutherans,

you've never seen spirit like that.

I can't, just not tonight.

- I'll see you tomorrow?

- I'm not gonna be here.

I got to go with april and her parents to San Diego for the week-end.

- Yes, but not here.

'Cause of my dad...

- Okay, what time?

How about 10:
02.

- Why so late?

- 10:
01?

that'll do.

Crazy cowboy!

You love me?

Yes, now go!

Bye.

Dear Joe,

I am sorry to notice how many days have come and gone since you have heard word from me.

Did you think your old cowboy can take himself off the edge of the earth?

gone but not forgotten i hope.

I've meant to write you from some time,

but it just been to darn busy

well with working so hard and trying to have fun every now and then.

I know you worry

about me being lonely out here on my own

but you'll be pleased to know

I am going with a super gal,

her name is October.

There are 8 million folks in this town,

but she's the one for me.

She brought me to her Family,

and they had made me their own,

we're stuck together.

Hey, it's the twig man

- What's up, buddy?

- Nothing.

- You having a good vacation?

- Yes.

- Is Tobe around ?

- No.

- She's not back from her trip ?

- Dunno.

Wanna wait for her?

I was waiting for her,

she was...

supposed to come by but...

I am gonna be at my spread, when she gets home just tell her to come and see me okay.

Okay.

See you.

Wanna see something?

yeah.

Holy cow, what a collection!

Know what this is?

- A 1921 Colt Peacemaker.

- Yep, it's his favorite.

Amazing!

- Ever go shooting with him?

- No.

- He says i have to be 16 to touch a gun.

- 16?

- Was your dad in the war?

- I guess.

Nice.

do you have anything today?

So who is your real father,

if it aint wade?

Dunno.

- I never met him.

- So Wade's it huh?

Yeah, he pays for our food and everything.

It takes more than that

to be a father.

Where's your dad?

He left me and my mom

when I was your age.

This right here, is a single action Colt 45.

They have been making that gun since 1873.

they havent made a single change to it

Because that's the way it is.

everyone you ever heard of: Wyatt Earp,

Billy the Kid, all of them they had a gun just like this.

Now, Single action

what that means means you can pull that trigger

all day and it doesnt do nothing.

You have to thumb that hammer back to fire

You have to do it every time,

that makes it a little tricky.

Great gunfighters had to draw

cock and shoot all in one motion.

You get used to it after a while.

You want the last two ?

Stand here.

When you're ready,just thumb it back

let it roll nice and easy.

be ready it's gonna kick a little the first time.

Don't even aim,

point as if it were your finger,

as if it were an extension

of you okay

look at that!

that's good stuff!

That's my favorite song.

we can sound allright with a little more practise.

Tobe's not here.

I don't want her

spending time with you.

I'd have to hear that from her, before it's okay with me.

anyway i wasnt spending time with Tobe I was here with Lonnie.

the point is, I don't want you around here,

period.

I know the circumstances of the other night, probably don't fit too right with you

I'm sure you think i am a bad influence.

But I aint.

I have nothing but good intentions.

Would you accept my apology?

You're the dad, I wouldn't

try to take that from you.

- Okay, it's Harlan right?

- Yes.

Harlan Fairfax Carruthers.

okay Harlan, I know you,

i aint buying what you're saying.

How do you know so much about me?

It's my job,

I see your kind every day.

- my kind?

- Yes.

- my kind, what is that?

- Want me to spell it out for you?

- i think you should

- what you are?

a piece of trailer trash, a nobody

who wishes he was a somebody.

what makes you different, is you're willing to do something stupid

to reach your goal

that makes you a menace.

That's why

I don't want you around my kids.

Really...

- Tell me the truth does that sounds like me ?

- No

- Shut up and go inside.

- that boy has a right to his opinion.

- Go inside.

- He's my friend, he knows me!

Go inside!

- You can say what's on your mind.

- Shut the f*** up!

- Hey.

- Get the f*** inside!

you better talk to me mister,

cause i am here,

I ain't a nobody, I'm a person.

And I won't leave just 'cause

a son of a b*tch tells me to.

I know I'm not important, but i know how to stand my ground

for love.

Sh*t.

I'm sorry, really.

You should go.

I can't.

No more.

He's getting his gun!

Okay...

you don't got to go here.

we don't have to do this at all

go away.

You're setting a bad example

for that boy.

am i getting through to you?

Yes, you are getting through.

getting through Loud and clear.

- you want a bullet or want me to get out of here?
