he's fixing to die too...
and I just thought, "Well..."
"...that poor devil."
it was like
I wasn't mad no more.
What is that?
Ice tea, hon.
I made some for your grandpa.
He and Sir Kingsley
are going hunting.
Made some hot tea
for Sir Kingsley.
Want a sip of tea? Eh?
Not yet. Not yet.
I'm thirsty.
There was a Civil War battle
fought not far from here,
called the Battle of Ten Mile
Creek.
- Really?
- Yeah.
See, the Yankees
come swooping down
off the high ground,
killed just about all our boys.
You haven't brought
your dogs with you.
No. We don't need any dogs.
- Daddy.
- What, Mickey?
I'm trying to meditate.
That was Alan. He's been
tripping since last night
and this morning put some
in Grandpa's ice tea.
Why would he do that?
'Cause I told him.
I said it'd be a good idea.
F***ing dude.
Actually I've got a very funny
hunting story
about Phillip
when he was a small...
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on.
- Sorry? Beg your pardon?
- Hold on. What's...?
What's happening?
What's happening?
KINGSLEY:
How do you mean?
Yeah.
Everything feels funny.
A little wiggly.
Do you feel a little wiggly?
Jim, are you all right?
Everything's changing...
the ground,
the trees, the sky.
The leaves
like a wave.
And...
I don't have any balance.
I don't have any balance.
Please tell me
that you see
that parade of trees,
the one with waving leaves
up yonder, see?
'Cause I don't know what...
I don't know what's going on
or where I'm at.
Look, look, we've got to get you
back home.
Yeah.
No, no, no, don't.
Whew.
Look, we've got to get you home.
- Let me help you up.
- No, no.
- You can kiss my ass.
- Eh?
You'll have to kill me first.
Yeah? How did you get behind...
behind our lines?
I got a whole company of men
right behind that curtain
over there, you sorry
sack of Hun sh*t.
Drop that weapon!
Jim, have you... have you
gone completely mad?
- JIM:
Yeah.- What?
I'm not a German, Jim.
It's Kingsley.
German Jim Kingsley...
good alias.
Is that how you got back here,
Mr. Alias?
Let me see your orders now.
Your orders.
Who won the 1916 World Series?
I haven't the faintest idea.
Boston Red Sox in six.
Ja, ja!
All right, all right. All right.
- Yeah.
- Jim, calm down. Calm down.
Who do you think you's fooling,
you cabbage head?
Open your mouth.
No, I'm... I'm English.
We fought on the same side.
But it's not the Great War now.
It's 1969.
So please, please,
please put the gun down.
Oh my God.
KINGSLEY:
Heavens.Jim!
Where's Daddy?
Is he back yet?
He's hunting
with the old man Bedford.
What's going on?
Alan put LSD in Daddy's ice tea.
- He f***ing what?
- DONNA:
Where did Alan get LSD?Did he say where he was going?
Yeah, they're out
along Ten Mile Creek.
Okay, come on, come on.
