Exploring 'The Tree of Life' Page #2

---

There is no hiding place in all

the world where trouble may not find you.

No one knows when sorrow might

visit his house, any more than Job did.

At the very moment

everything was taken away from Job.

He knew it was the

Lord who had taken it away

Return from the passing shows of time

He saught that which is eternal.

As he alone see God's hand, who sees that he gives.

Or does not also the one see

God's hand, who sees that he takes away.

Or does he alone see God,

who sees God turn his face towards him?

Does not also he see God,

who sees God turn his back.

He's a friend of mine.

The one who's after real estate in town.

Frank Johnson.

Started out as a barber.

He built something, big.

Now you'd think he was the

fourth person of the Holy Trinity.

They never talk about their money.

Wrong people go hungry.

Die.

Wrong people get loved.

The world lives by a trigger.

You want to succeed? You can't be too good.

Hey there young fella, try my cornbread.

Do y'all want some butter, do you?

How about a pound of bread.

You'll like this right? Okay? Come on.

Act like you're in trouble,

you don't want to fight, you don't want any trouble.

The minute you see him blink, crack him!

Okay?

Okay, come on, three quarters.

Cover, you're going to cover, right?

Okay, here. Come on, nice, harder, nice.

That's a good right, let's see your left.

This is the most important thing.

Okay? You come in this way, keep your gaurd up.

Hit me, come on, hit me. Come on, Jack? Hit me.

Hit me, come on, come on!

Okay, here it is, hit me!

Come on, son, come on!

What are you doing?

Wipe yourself off.

Left! Don't leave your tongue out,

you're going to lose it!

Left. Left. Right. Right.

Left harder.

Harder. Harder!

Hit me, hit me. Come on son, hit.

Give me something, show me what you got.

Come on, go on.

One meal.

Leave the table.

You too?

You going to continue to defy me?

No, sir.

You're interrupting me, I wasn't done yet.

Am I finished?

No?

Yea

Thank you, your majesty.

Makes up stories.

Fortunate words.

He says don't put your elbows on the table.

He does.

Insults people.

Doesn't care.

I remember when you were born.

They wouldn't let me come home.

Navy said an officer must be

present for the laying of the cue.

I had to launch.

The next word is volcano.

Next word is socket.

Please pass your answers to each other.

We're going to grade each others' papers now.

No interruptions, please.

Come on, get your pencil out.

Sweetheart!, Oh God, sweetheart!

Honey!

Was it bad?

Will you die too?

You're not that old yet mom.

Where were you?

You had a boy die.

Would anything happen?

I can't see!

I can't see!

Why should I be good?

If you aren't.

Thank you.

We're close.

Why's this bare here?

The grass wont grow under the tree.

It does at Kimbles.

They have a gardener.

They have money.

Of course he inherited it.

I don't want to hear one more

word out of you, not until this is finished.

You're cropping that too close.

You're going to have to keep that water.

Toskanini.

Once recorded a piece 65 times.

You know what he said when he finished?

It could be better.

Think about it.

It means ownership, ownership of ideas.

You gotta sew them up.

Get them by the nuts if you pardon my French.

Be rich.

You make yourself what you are.

You have control of your own destiny.

Can't say I can't.

You see I'm having trouble.

I'm not done yet. Can't say I can't.

Why's he hurt us?

Our father?

Come on Vince!, come on. Get it, get it!

Give your father a kiss.

Lies.

I can't.

Will you do something for me?

Do you promise you'll do it?

Without having to ask what it is? Just have the

confidence in what your father asks of you is right?

Yes sir.

In the next half hour, will you not speak

unless you have something important to say?

What did you do today, my fine feathered friend?

Sit on the front of your chair.

It's better for your posture.

I read that in the paper.

Did you actually buy this from Mr. Ledbetter?

Don't explain, just nod, yes or no?

Be quiet.

What did you say?

Please.

Leave him alone.

Leave him alone!

Come here! Come here!

Get up there!

You turn my own kids against me.

You undermine everything I do.

How do you like it?

Stop it!

Stop.

Stop.

Where's Dad?

He's gone on a trip.

Get her! Get her!

Help each other.

Do not slam that screen door!

Love everyone.

Every leaf.

Every ray of light.

Our gift.

Shut up!

Watch out! Watch out! Go, go!

I say let's bust them.

Yea!

Yea!

Found a frog!

Lets go set it off in a sky rocket!

He's getting away!

Get back! Get back!

Did he go to the moon?

Where is he?

There he is.

It was an experiment!

Why?

Never do it again.

Promise?

You want to tell dad?

They're just trying to scare you.

Keep your ear there.

Things she got to learn.

I gotta know stuff too.

They say you can't try stuff? They did!

What do you need be afraid of?

You're afraid. I see it.

Right here! Right here!

I can't talk to you.

Don't look at me.

Au revoir story.

Au revoir dawn.

Put it in there.

I trust you.

You tired?

No. I never get tired.

You did this morning.

No, I was just pretending.

You call me a liar?

No.

I don't want to fight.

Afraid to?

No, I just don't want to.

If I was to say you're scared,

would you call me a liar?

No.

You're scared, aren't you?

Quit it.

Come here!

NO!

I don't want to do anything you tell me to.

I want to do what I want.

What do you know? You let him run all over you.

How do I get back?

Where they are.

This one is heavy,

you're going to need two hands.

Careful now, you know what that is?

Chinese?

That's Chinese, that's very good, yes it is.

Your father went all around the world.

All the way to China.

That's Pan Am Airlines,

that's what your father flew on.

The entire bathroom was stainless steel.

Even the wash basin.

I feel confident the deal is going through.

Nothing, forget it. I'll tell Molly to go to hell.

That's from Germany.

See that?

Put that down, son.

Can Taylor come over?

Was your family not good enough for you?

It's not going to take as long as last time?

Al dente.

It's a subjective point, you know the difference?

Subjective means it comes from your mind.

It can't be proven by other people.

It's good to see you again. Let's go boys.

There are things you can't do.

But there are things I can't do either.

You're not to call me dad, you will call me father.

But...

Do not interrupt!

But you did...

Don't interrupt!

It's your house.

You can kick me out whenever you want to.

You'd like to kill me.

Dad.

Why was he born?

Please God, kill him.

Let him die.

Get him out of here.

She only loves me!

Defend O'Lord this thy child with thy heavenly grace.

That he may continue thine forever

And daily increase in thy Holy Spirit more and more

Until he come unto thy everlasting kingdom

Amen.

See something...

Put your finger over it.

There.

Come on.

What I want to do I can't do.

I do what I hate.
