hand. Your other right.
Your right hand.
There you go.
Put your hand up. You
got to swear on something.
Now you on
the all-star team.
- You promise to work hard?
- Yes, sir.
I don't know why Joe chose
you. You must be a good man.
First thing we do
is fill these containers up,
so we just gonna
put it in there like that.
Once we get it filled
up real good, then we on.
- What's in the poison?
- Sh*t.
Shorty's grandmas
make this in they basement.
I don't know what's in it, but
we ain't gonna worry about it.
I know it works
real good.
You thought that was easy
pumping that thing, didn't you?
I made it look easy
'cause I'm a man.
- You're a little boy - you got to
figure it out. You see what I'm saying?
There you go. See how
you figured that out?
When you become a man, you gonna
have everything figured out too.
Be careful. Now this
stuff is real poisonous
and if it gets in your eyes,
man, you're out of there.
Just ask Junior.
Now- now here you go.
- Which hand you use?
- Uh, the right.
Prime it up a little
bit, keep striking it.
If you hit it hard enough, you only
have to hit it three or four times.
Gotta get angry at the
tree, man. Get mad at it.
Yeah, I like that. Get mad
at it. Keep on working it.
Mad. Work with it, work with it!
Yes, sir. Get it!
Keep on with it,
youngster.
I like that, man.
Joe's been around, he's been
around a little bit, man.
He's got some things
up under his belt, man.
So I advise you,
when you do go to Joe,
keep it real with Joe. Don't
lie to him about nothing.
And one thing Joe is real
particular about, man-
don't never look down at the
ground. Look him in the face.
He likes to see a man's
eyes. You- one-on-one.
- That's how Joe is, man.
- Where you from?
- Everywhere.
- Everywhere?
you been everywhere, huh?
Was your daddy in the
military or something?
Oh, yeah? All right. You got
a family? All right, then.
You know we ain't gonna cut you
no slack out here, don't you?
Just 'cause
you're young now,
you know we ain't
gonna cut no slack.
Everybody pull
their own load, baby.
Once we get this
filled up here,
we can kill us about a
hundred trees with this here.
Is killing trees
against the law?
Well, the
lumber company
can't cut 'em down
unless they dead,
and so the lumber
company hire us
to come in
and poison the trees
so we can kill 'em and they'll
come in and die theyself.
Yeah, I've been doing this
- Welcome to the program.
- Thanks.
The machete crew is the one that
comes through and clears it out.
Chop down at the angles.
Try to get as low
as you can.
for your teammates.
Without you, none of
this is gonna happen.
Just keep hammering at it.
Nothing's stopping you.
You have to start out-
you'll probably be
the water man for
a little while, you know?
It's gonna look like you're
doing everything for everybody,
bringing 'em water. At the end,
Samurai king,
right here.
- Waa-ah!
- Waa-ah!
Welcome to the crew.
You're the youngest.
Gotta crawl
'fore you walk.
Got a lot
of energy there.
- Hah!
- There you go.
- Samurai gods!
- Yah!
Crew! When y'all get
through this side over here,
we're going
to the west side.
All right.
Hey, Gary, you're
getting too far ahead.
Come on back here.
You know what? You, you and
you, y'all did a good job today.
Why don't y'all
go ahead and get paid,
and I'll see y'all
Monday, all right?
Bill.
- Allan.
- Thank you, sir.
- And Gary, right?
- Yes, sir.
Gary, Gary, Gary.
Come back Monday.
Bring your daddy
if he wants to work.
Yes, sir, I will.
We'll be there.
Thanks.
Mama!
Hey, Mama,
guess what?
I got us
jobs today.
- I got a job today.
- Good for you, baby.
Dorothy!
Dorothy, guess what.
He got one. That's good.
Stop!
Sorry.
Got that a**hole put away?
Yes, Joe,
he's in the back.
That a**hole
bites me again...
Well, he's got
the devil in him.
- F*** that.
- Come on, baby.
Well, look at that. What's that?
Come here.
A Mexican game show.
That's what I'm talking about.
Can I fix you something, baby?
Coke, ice.
Here you go,
sweetie.
So what you got
the blues over, Joe?
I'm not so bad.
Want one of my girls?
You want two
of my girls?
Not today.
Today is a special day.
- It is?
- I only want your company, Merle.
- Why, thank you.
- Come here.
Mmm!
Lace!
- A**hole!
- Lacy!
Put the dog
in the back!
I got it. Come on.
I got it.
Come on.
You don't need that
thing to take care of you.
Where are you
going, Joe?
Girl, get your ass
off the floor.
Quit being stupid.
- You see who that was?
- Yes.
Was that World War I or II?
Where'd you get that hat?
- W-W-2.
- Oh, right.
Got it down there
at the Army-Navy.
Been making some money over at
Henry's house, throwing the dice.
Yeah, I know. I was gonna go
over there later, clean him out.
Maybe I'll see you there.
I've been doing pretty
good taking the money
from them old ladies that old
blind George hang out with.
Take about 60 or 70%
of my winnings
and donate it to
the diabetes research.
Then I take the rest of it
and buy war paraphernalia.
One of these days
I'm gonna be a regular GI Joe.
Pow.
Fistful of dollars!
Or something like that.
Henry.
In here, Joe!
Hey, Joe.
How you been doing?
- Who's that?
- Henry's just making a damn mess here.
- What are you trying to do, Henry?
- I don't know.
Yeah, well, I don't think
I'd cut it into a roast.
No.
You can do it
any way you want to,
but if it was mine,
I'd cut it into steaks.
Come over here and show
him how to do it, honey.
And Henry, you can
sit down there
and tell me a joke
or sing a song or something.
Sh*t, you might as well just
I'm gonna sit down and have me
a cigarette in this wheelchair.
- Couldn't you, George? - I reckon
I could do better than he's doing it.
- Oh, no.
No.
All right, I'll show you
how to make the steaks.
That'd be good,
baby. I love back scrapple.
That's good.
That's enough.
Now look what
happened to the poor thing.
So much blood
on the floor.
Oh, God. Oh.
Where'd you get
this deer?
It was hung up on
the fence over at Mr. Lee's,
and Henry and I was
coming back from the IHOP,
and I took out my. 38
and shot her in the head.
Honey, you use that knife
just like an artist's brush.
I mean, you know
what you're doing, Joe.
Man, look at that.
Oh, man.
- There's some good stuff here.
That is some good stuff.
Now look here.
Man, that is pretty.
Yeah, that's how you do it.
Butterfly steak.
Wonderful.
- You see how I did that?
Now do it here,
here and here.
Y'all can cut up
the rest of it.
So, when you gonna
have another crap game?
Uh, tonight.
You wanna come by?
- What time?
- 10:
00.We're making
a birthday cake.
Joe, you know who's gonna
make the birthday cake.
