[MUSIC CONTINUES]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Ada?

[ADA RUNNING]

Come on!

[CHUCKLES]

Come over here!

[GROANS]

Come here.

Get off me!

Why? 'Cause I said!

Ain't anybody else gonna see.

Tsk! Not here!

But I'm already hard.

[SIGHS]

Come on!

No! I said no!

[GROANS]

Fine.

[PANTING]

Why is your skin so hot, anyway?

Better go finish up the still.

Wait.

I ain't got time for games.

Back there, then.

You sure?

Yeah.

Come on.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[CLATTERING]

[WHEEL RUMBLING]

[MOANS]

[FIRE CRACKLING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]

I swear your skin feels different.

Really?

Well, it ain't.

[CHUCKLES] just drop it already.

[SIGHS]

[BIRDS CHIRPING, DOG BARKING]

Ada?

You come here.

Now, Bodey got something to tell you.

We're gonna be joined.

Well...

When?

Next full moon, it'll happen.

If she's been true.

Got the papers?

[CHIRPING CONTINUES]

May I go to the pit?

I'd like to pray on this.

Best go with her.

I:

- I'll go later.

Tell everyone to come on for

dinner after you've finished.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[CHIRPING INTENSIFIES]

[GASPS]

- Dawai?

- What?

Sh*t fire!

What you doing?

Aah.

Nothing.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[CHUCKLES]

Oh...

The candles need lighting.

You're supposed to come on for dinner.

Oh, is something...

something good happening?

Bodey asked pa for us to be joined.

Aah!

Well, that's... that is good news.

Bodey?

He'll do right by you.

Want to listen to some music?

I'll play you your favorite.

Can't.

Got to tell everyone

before it gets late.

Tomorrow?

Yeah, tomorrow, then.

So, you'll come for dinner?

I don't know.

I:

- I got...

I got things need tending to.

So...

I hope you do.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[CRANK SQUEAKING]

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS]

[SIGHS]

You get to everyone?

Yep.

Anyone say they ain't coming?

Dawai's the only one that

seemed to be on the fence.

[SCOFFS]

Figures.

You ain't spending no more

time down there, anyway.

I'll do what I want.

You will do what Bodey tells you to!

Now, that's the way it is.

You best get used to it!

Whatever.

You got something you want to say?

Oh, I'm just all up in knots is it.

Oh.

You're dripping, then?

Come a little late, though, ain't it?

Let me see.

Why? It's gross.

Come on, Ada!

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

You got that 'shine ready?

What's going on?

We got people coming over.

Bodey asked to be joined to your sister.

About time.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I want to, uh...

I want to thank you all for coming.

Today I give away my only

daughter to be joined to Bodey Jenkin...

To continue in the ways

that we hold sacred.

And I thank the pit with all my

heart for making it so.

I raise this jug of 'shine

for all to taste who believe.

[DOG BARKS]

I'd like to say something.

Bodey, you're getting a good one.

I can tell you that.

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

Wish you all the best.

Eat up, all.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS]

[LAUGHTER]

[LAUGHTER]

No!

Do you need any help?

Just this little redheaded one.

He's a biter!

No biting!

No biting!

[LAUGHTER CONTINUES]

Don't bite!

There we go.

They're meaner than they look.

Yeah, I'll bet.

[LAUGHS]

Sh*t.

Sh*t?

Well, Jessaby, you must be real happy.

Shut the f*** up, you retard.

Jessaby!

I want to talk to my sis alone.

All right.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS IN BACKGROUND]

Don't.

Don't what?

You keep your mouth shut.

I know.

They're gonna test you, and you

better blame it on somebody else.

I don't care who.

I ain't letting Bodey take after

pa 'cause of this, you hear?

We'll talk about it later.

No, we won't.

You're on your own.

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

You and Sustin's all happy

now, but if she'd been fooling

around, you're gonna have to pay

Tsk.

Well, don't you worry your

pretty, little head about it.

She was dripping today.

Just means she ain't been caught.

She'll pass.

Now leave it alone.

Was your brother sad?

About what?

He'll be asking someone

to join him soon, won't he?

Want me to mention you to him?

Could you?

Take your grandpa a plate.

It's cold.

Yeah, well, it'll have to do.

It's nasty, though.

He won't complain.

What was your brother

all tore up about earlier?

He's just being his ass self, as usual.

He don't care for Bodey?

He... he just don't want him

horning in on things is all.

Like what?

I don't know.

He wasn't making much sense.

Huh.

[INSECTS CHIRPING, DOG BARKING]

Grandpa?

I got you some food.

Grandpa?

Huh?

You've been sleeping?

[STRAINED] Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Are you hungry?

Mm-hmm.

I thought so.

Let's get you some air.

Either you're getting

fat, or I'm getting weaker.

[CHUCKLES]

We had everyone over to dinner tonight.

[CHIRPING CONTINUES]

Bodey and I are gonna be joined.

I should have seen it coming already.

Not like there's anybody

else could have asked.

I know who the next jug face is.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]

It's me.

It's mine.

I don't even know why I told you.

Not like you can help.

[DOOR CREAKS]

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

Here we go.

[CHUCKLES]

What's wrong with you?

Has anyone ever said no?

About what?

Being joined?

Is that why you're so quiet?

It's a woman's job to have babies.

You got to be joined to do that.

Is that all I'm good for?

It's an amazing thing,

bearing babies... something no

man will ever get to do.

Once Bodey gives you a little

one, you'll be beside yourself.

You'll see.

What if I can't?

Oh...

Pit will make it right.

It always does.

Has the pit ever taken a baby?

Yeah, sure has.

Gonna check on that possum.

Yeah, that's what.

All right.

Now don't speak to nobody.

Just get what you need,

and that's it, right?

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Morning, Sustin.

What you got?

I got half peach, half apple.

They're both hot sellers

right now, I'm telling you.

[CANS CLANG]

Can't help you with that possum, though.

That ain't for sale.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS]

Not my brother's, any others

your heart

I broke...

All right.

Thank you so much for coming in.

You have a good day.

[DOOR BEEPS]

Taking licks and karate

kicks to every inch of my face

but I'd do it all

again to get my way

I tell myself each day

that it was worth it

lately, I've heard some

real disturbing news

- You finding everything all right?

- Yeah.

... talk of this mean, old town

Let me know if you need any help.

You've been

getting aro-o-und

don't play me, sweet baby

oh, baby

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Do any good?

Pack of three.

Make them last.

[SIGHS]

[URINATING]

[POUNDING ON DOOR]

Don't forget the laundry.

I know!

Must be nice...

to know who you'll be with, finally.

Oh, right.

All that he talks about is you now.

Is that so?

How many kids you think you'll have?

Mama says we need five or six to

keep things going real good.

We'll have as many as

the pit wants, I reckon.

[SIGHS]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]

[GASPS]

It's awake.

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

Ada?

Eilen.

Run.

[WATER GURGLING]

Eilen!

Oh, God!

[PANTING]

Eilen?! Where's Eilen?!

Where is she?!

Eilen?!
