Last Kind Words

( Bird and insect noises )

( Gunshot )

We've gotta be quick!

Come on!

Pa!

Pa, wait up!

Pa?

( Child sobbing )

Woman:

Pretty here, right?

Boy:
I guess.

Oh, it won't be so bad.

No rats here.

That's 'cause

the wolves eat 'em.

You ain't afraid

of no wolves, are you?

You worried you won't get to

see your girlfriend anymore?

Katie ain't my girlfriend.

I've known her

since I was seven.

I've known your pa since

I was about that age.

Where are you goin'?

We're here.

Good. I can use

the help.

Who else is workin'?

Nobody.

Y'all can get set up.

In that trailer up the hill.

Hey, Bud...

Im sorry about

the plant closing.

And I know that you

weren't plannin'

On comin' back to these parts.

I'm sorry about it, too.

Uh, I saw your pa.

About five or six years back,

Just before he died.

And he asked on you.

I told him you were doing good.

I was.

Girl:

Don't eat that one.

Unless you like eatin' bugs.

I don't like to waste.

Who are you?

Nobody.

I just moved here.

Who are you?

I live around here.

I didn't think

anybody lived out here.

Some people do.

Man:
Eli!

What you doin' over there?

Nothin'.

Where'd you get that apple?

Off the tree.

That ain't your tree

and that ain't your apple.

He can have an apple.

We got plenty.

I catch you with an apple, boy,

You better bring a branch, too.

Who's this?

This is jesse.

Can I pet him?

He's friendly.

Hey, Bud.

Hiya, Buddy.

Woman:
Hi, Waylon.

Ida!

Long time.

You look well.

( Laughter )

All right.

Let us pray.

Heavenly father, bless us,

As we trust not in

the works of man,

But only in your

divine providence.

Lead us not into sin and let us

not stray into the darkness.

Which surrounds us.

For the kingdom, the

power and the glory.

Are yours forever

and ever. Amen.

( Sighing )

Do you know who

used to live here?

No.

Didn't take too good

a care of it.

We'll fix it up nice.

Why'd he ever sell

off all those hogs?

I don't know.

Guess they cost more

than they made.

Guess they run out of money.

Do you know what he's gonna

do with all the buildings?

Let 'em sit, I reckon.

Don't go nosing in there.

It's dangerous.

Somebody make dinner?

There's no water.

Did you ask Waylon about it?

He don't want me

talkin' to Waylon.

Why not?

Ask him.

Aah!

You come back here!

( Rustling )

Uhh!

( Barks )

You scared the sh*t

out of me, boy.

Come on.

( Dog whimpering )

Come on, boy.

Come on, come on.

( Country music playing )

( Clatter )

Waylon:
A bull

in a china shop.

I... I'm sorry.

What are you doin' in here?

I was using the bathroom.

In my office?

No, in the bathroom.

I'm really sorry about this.

No harm.

Where'd you get all these?

From the farm. I've been digging

them up since I was a kid.

They're still sharp.

You want it?

No.

Take it.

Really?

Where you been?

Bathroom.

What's that?

Waylon gave it to me.

You look like a damn girl.

Come on, help me with this.

( Squawks )

( Honking horn )

Who are you?

Let me see Waylon.

I asked you who you are.

Hey, Bud.

Thank you, Bud.

Hey, Waylon. How's

the pig business?

You mind if we talk in private?

This sh*t worth anything?

To me.

You know what's worth

something to me?

Money.

Then it's a good thing

you got so much.

Well, the reason

I got so much is,

I make sure I got what's owed me.

Know what I mean?

Yeah, I know what you mean.

So when are you gonna pay me?

I'll pay you.

Oh, I know you'll pay me.

I said, when?

When I pay you.

( Chuckles )

Don't make do something

about you, Waylon.

If you don't pay me, Im

gonna take this pretty farm.

Why don't you just sell it?

Lord knows you ain't

actually farming it.

What's keeping you

here, anyway?

History.

( Chuckles ) history.

You keep living for the past,

You ain't gonna have no future.

( Crack )

You got two weeks.

Have a good day.

Why do you hate Waylon so much?

He ain't trustworthy.

Then why are you

workin' for him?

You got any better ideas?

Were you two friends as kids?

We played.

Then what happened?

Go see if your mother

needs help.

Go on, get!

( Barking )

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay, boy.

( Barking )

He doesn't like you too much.

I don't like him, either.

Jesse? Why not?

He kills the rabbits.

Bites their legs off.

Oh.

You wouldn't do a thing

like that, now, would you?

Where'd you get that?

Found it.

It's yours, right?

Finders keepers.

What's your name?

Amanda.

( Barking ) jesse!

( Barking )

Come here, boy.

What's this fence doing here?

Do you know what's back there?

I don't know.

Curious?

It's private property.

Ain't it Waylon's land?

No.

Whose is it, then?

I want to see.

No.

What?

Leave it alone, all right?

Why?

Just promise me.

All right. Promise.

( Country music playing )

What?

Huh?

What are you lookin' at?

Nothin'. Your shirt

has a tear in it.

I know.

Why don't you fix it?

Who am I gonna impress?

Me.

What do you think of me.

Now you know

my shirt's got a hole?

I don't know.

I like you.

You go swimming

in the lake yet?

No.

Meet me tomorrow?

Boo!

Jesus, Katie...

Ida:
Eli?

How'd you get out here?

I stole the keys

after she went to bed.

Where'd you park?

Down a ways.

Nobody'll see it.

This is crazy.

What are you so worried about?

You're basically

grounded forever.

Just by living out here.

Come on.

Eli:
'm glad

to see you.

I think Ive gone

crazy out here.

No, thanks.

It'll loosen you up.

I'm plenty loose.

Yeah, right. You're about as

loose as your mom's a**hole.

What have you been doing

in my mom's a**hole?

( Laughs )

look, just take a sip.

It makes you happy, farm boy.

When was the last time

you could say that?

I don't like it.

But it likes you.

Come on, now.

What are you...

Pa's gonna think I got in his.

Why do you do that?

Don't get up. I'm sorry,

I didn't mean to.

You look cute when you're mad.

You don't look too cute

when Im mad, so...

( laughs ) oh!

What?

( Laughter echoes )

( Laughing )

Why don't you kiss me?

It's not a sin if Im drunk.

You're just chicken, kid.

You start believing in hell all

of a sudden, or something?

I think I might

already be there.

Nice to see you, too.

I don't mean you, okay?

( Coughs )

Morning.

Where were you?

Pissing.

Where were you?

The field.

Do you want to go for a walk?

Don't you have to get

the car back, or...

it's saturday. They won't

get up till 1:
00 or 2:00.

So does anyone else

live out here?

Heh. Uh, no.

I bet a bunch of inbred

rednecks live out here.

( Sings dueling banjos )

What?

What?

What do you keep

looking around for?

Um... me? Nothin'.

Are there bears out here?

No.

Do you want to go back?

No, Im having fun.

Yeah, you're a riot.

Where are you going?

Shortcut.

Shortcut to us being lost?

We cut straight through these

woods, we'll hit the farm.

Whoa.

You see this before?

No.

Hey, what are you doing?

You chicken?

No, but what if it's

somebody's house?

Are you kidding me?

No one lives here.

Aah!

What are you doing?
