here to pump out the poison.

You take this hatchet

and hit into the tree.

Let's see

what you got.

Hit it

right here.

Goddamn thing

is leaking all over.

It happens sometimes.

Let's get to work.

Let's hit right here.

This is bullshit

right here.

Swing it.

You gotta swing it

harder than that.

Man, this is some

stupid-ass sh*t, man.

You know he can't even talk now.

Y'all niggas-

y'all niggas didn't eat it.

I am hungry.

Ain't gonna kill

you with our greenback there.

I don't want to know about your king

cobra, okay? Or whatever you call it.

"Go Go Gadget Tongue,"

that's what he got.

You ever notice that

about your girl, man,

- Wait a minute. - No, one sit up

here and the other one sit down here?

No comment, no comment.

- Don't go head first.

I don't.

Tell the truth about them drips he

had, man, about that penicillin shot.

That's a lie! That's a

damn lie! That's a damn lie!

Sure is a beautiful day

out here, ain't it?

It's all right.

Sitting here like

the angels sitting there

under this

pretty sun.

Maybe I am

an angel.

Yeah, but you gotta

go to work on my job.

You ain't on my job working.

Why you not working today?

What, did you come up here

to give me a hard time?

I been looking at you

all goddamn day,

and I see you up here

smoking a goddamn cigarette

watching

the goddamn water.

You think you're a

pretty sumbitch out here,

and we gotta come

out here to work.

I don't know why you

ain't trying to work.

I done all the work

I'm gonna do today.

So you ain't did sh*t

all goddamn day.

You ain't done

a motherfucking-

- And who are you to tell me?

- I'm your goddamn boss.

As long as you here,

I'm your boss.

You ain't my boss,

and obviously

you can't even watch

what people are doing,

'cause if you saw

anything,

you know I've been

working all day.

I've been working

all damn day!

- Yeah - no, you been on

your ass all goddamn day!

Who's gonna argue

with who?

You ain't did sh*t

all goddamn-

I'm trying

to get you working!

Man, I worked

my ass off!

You ain't did sh*t

all goddamn day!

You're gonna get your ass

off my motherfucking job!

Well, you go

tell Joe right now!

Joe goddamn gonna get rid of

you or do something different.

Something gonna

change today

'cause tomorrow, we ain't

gonna have this bullshit.

- Are you done?

- Yeah, I'm done with this bullshit.

Good, I'm glad

you're done!

I'm glad you're done.

Stay done.

Look like you got a yeast

infection on your goddamn face,

you country

motherf***er!

Can you make it

out of there?

Yeah, I'll make it,

I guess.

Goddamn a**holes.

Come here, son.

Help me get over

this tailgate.

So what time you need us

back in the morning?

I don't need you

back in the morning.

What do you mean

you don't need us back?

We got the job done,

didn't we?

This is yours

there, son.

We got the job done.

Gary said we got the job.

Joe, I'll do

anything you want.

Clear brush anytime,

anywhere. I can do it.

Joe, I'd sure

like to work some more.

Yeah, maybe later.

I'll let you know.

I don't know what you did

that made

that man mad, son.

You hear me?

The hell

you looking at?

Just another day.

It ain't

his fault.

He loves us.

Just...

He just goes

through a hard time.

Well, I ain't gonna

watch him sit there

and hit you like he

hits me, you hear me?

Okay, Mama?

Ain't supposed to do

that to no one.

You stay with your family.

That's what you

need to do.

You need to stay

with your family.

Your family's

all you got.

What was that?

I don't know.

- Didn't hear no car drive up.

- Probably ain't nobody.

Ain't nobody with

any sense out in this.

I'm just a medium.

- Can't taste that.

You want to

go out tonight?

Not really.

Where do you

want to go?

Hmm...

I don't know.

I was just wondering

if we were

gonna do something.

I think you work

too much.

You should get out.

Do something fun.

I hadn't

planned on it.

Unless you want to.

We don't have to.

Ah...

There's someone

out there.

No. No, wait.

Hold this.

Hey, Joe, can you

put that dog up?

Oh, hell,

I know who it is.

Boy, you're

soaking-ass wet.

What'd you plan to do,

stand there all night?

He should get out

of them wet clothes.

- He'll get sick.

- I'm all right.

I just- I just

wanted to come by

- and talk to you about working some more.

- Work?

Don't you see what it's

doing out there?

Yes, sir.

Hey, where's my drink at? You

got any trousers he can wear?

What size waist you got?

I think I have some

cool pants he can wear.

I bet nobody come mess 'round

here with that dog out there.

Well, that's why

I got the dog.

The dog won't bother anybody

just walking down the road.

Road ain't dogs.

Dog knows what's dogs.

You could have

just walked on off,

the dog wouldn't

have done anything.

All right, here.

Try these on.

I think

they'll fit you.

The bathroom's

this way.

The dog is a good dog.

Yeah. That dog scared

the hell out of me, though.

He's all beat up.

Mm-hmm.

His daddy.

Saw him do it.

You what?

What, you just

sat there

and watched it,

or what?

He's a big kid.

I can't get my hands dirty

in every little thing.

You know how I get.

You're

a grown man, Joe.

What is that

supposed to mean?

It can mean whatever

you want it to mean.

Don't fool yourself

too much about me.

Hey, there you go.

You look like

a million bucks.

Feel better now?

I feel like

a hundred bucks.

Come by 'cause I wanted to

talk to you about my job.

I wanna work.

I need a job.

My daddy don't care

if he gots a job, but I do.

You'd work in this rain,

wouldn't you?

If you need me to.

Let me slip my shoes on.

I'll run you back home.

Hey, we'll be there

in just a second, okay?

Hey.

You know you don't have to

take no sh*t from nobody, right?

You know that,

right?

Yes, ma'am.

Good.

Now let's go.

- How you been, Chris?

- Good, how about you?

You still doing

the mixed martial arts?

Yes, sir.

What you doing

out in the rain, Joe?

Oh, I need

two pounds of ham

- and a pound of Swiss cheese sliced up.

- All right.

Come on, you get the cheese,

I'll get the ham.

I get a little ahead,

it starts in raining again.

Here you go.

Well, it's not much.

Now look here.

When it dries up,

you come down here early

in the morning, 'fore light,

We got plenty to do when

the weather gets right.

You got a clock?

No, you wouldn't.

All right, I'll find you a

wind-up clock or something.

All right, then.

Thank you, sir.

No, you don't need to

call me "sir" all the time.

I'm your friend,

you understand?

All right.

Hey, where's his ham?

Hang on, we're coming.

- All right.

Ahem.

What are you

thinking, Joe?

Nothing.

There's nothing I can do,

and I hate it.

That's not true.

Yeah, it is.

You look at me

like I can make a move.

What are you thinking when

you look at me like that?

Don't you care?

I don't know who I am.

But I know what keeps

me alive is restraint.

It keeps me

out of jail.
