This where you found it?

Yes, ma'am.

Dr. Pendanski, drive X-Ray back to camp.

Give him double shower tokens

and a snack.

But first, fill everyone's canteen.

I already filled them.

Excuse me?

I had already filled them

when you drove up in the car.

WARDEN:
Excuse me?

Did I ask you when you last filled them?

-No. You didn't, but...

-Excuse me.

Now, these fine boys

have been working hard.

Don't you think it just might be possible

they have taken a drink

since you filled their canteens?

It's possible.

-WARDEN:
Oh, it's possible, is it?

-(CHUCKLES)

Caveman!

You come over here, please.

-MR. SIR:
Get over there.

-WARDEN:
That's right.

Go on. Come on over.

Come on over.

WARDEN:
Now, did you

by any chance take a drink

since he filled your canteen?

Oh, no. I... I'm fine. I have plenty.

Excuse me?

I... I might have, uh, uh, drinken some.

Thank you.

May I have your canteen, please?

Oh, god.

(WATER SLOSHING)

Can you hear the empty spaces?

Yes, I can hear.

Fill it.

If that's too much trouble,

you can grab a shovel,

and Caveman here can fill the canteens.

Armpit! Squid!

Get them wheelbarrows out of the truck!

Zero, you take over X-Ray's hole.

Caveman will assist you.

We're gonna dig this dirt twice.

(ENGINE TURNS OVER)

Y'all be good now, you hear? (CHUCKLES)

WARDEN:
Get "C" and "F" over here.

Get "C" and "F" over here!

Use those muscles.

-I'm gonna be a real gone cat

-MR. SIR:
Keep it up.

-Then I won't want you

WARDEN:
This is a special day.

I got a good feeling about today.

There you go. I'm feeling some

double shower tokens, boys.

WARDEN:
There'll be steaks

for dinner tonight.

-MR. SIR:
Keep it up.

-Then I won't want you

You're doing fine!

-No hurry.

-You can cry

We don't want to miss anything.

While you were high high high

-We don't want to miss nothing.

-If you were wondering why

I don't look at you

When I go rolling by

MR. SIR:
Pick every rock now.

Make sure it's a real rock.

-WARDEN:
Caveman! Let's go!

-Then I won't want you

-Hey, how'd she know my name, man?

-Oh, she's got the whole place wired.

Oh, yeah, she's got these little, tiny

microphones and cameras

all over the place.

Yeah, she's got 'em in the rec room.

She's got 'em in the tent.

-She's got 'em in the showers.

-They're not in the showers.

Man, don't listen to him. I read his file.

It says he suffers from, um,

acute paranoia.

Hey, so that means

she watches me every day, huh?

Man, he says she got

cameras and microphones,

not microscopes.

-(LAUGHTER)

-Get outta here, man.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

Okay, children, come back

first thing in the morning.

Okay? Rain or shine,

we're gonna have school.

Put your cap on.

Oh, here, take that, Louise.

KID 1:
Bye, Miss Katherine.

KID 2:
See you tomorrow!

Hello, Miss Katherine.

Hello, Sam.

I thought you might

still want some onions.

Thank you.

I can fix that.

Sam, are you gonna try to tell me now

that your onions are a cure

for a leaky roof?

Naw.

I'm just good with my hands.

I built my own boat, you know.

I needed to get across

the lake to my onion field.

Well, then, I guess you'd be

in real trouble if your boat leaked.

I tell you what,

I'll fix that roof

in exchange for three jars

of your spiced peaches.

It's a deal.

-(BIRDS CHIRPING)

-(HAMMERING)

Well, Miss Katherine,

I guarantee that roof for five years.

If there's anything else...

(SIGHS)

The windows won't open.

And the children and I would

enjoy a breeze now and then.

I can fix that.

"And this maiden,

she lived with no other thought

than to love and be loved by me.

She was a child, and I was a child

in this kingdom by the sea.

But we loved with..."

"With a love that was more than love,

I and my Annabel Lee."

Sam.

You know, that door

doesn't hang straight.

I can fix that.

MR. PENN:
"The duck swims on the lake."

-MISS KATHERINE:
Very good, Mr. Penn.

-Thank you, ma'am.
