Lolly-Madonna XXX Page #4

But by the time he had it all

house trained and everything

he preferred him to me, so..

I guess that's just

the way things work out.

[sighs]

I know.

I never had that much

to call my own, either.

But I always

kinda thought that..

I'd wanna have a lot of kids,

maybe six or seven.

And they'd all hang around

and fuss and lie

and then ask me for jelly bread.

Hmm.

How'd you like to have some

boots that didn't smell

like somebody else's feet?

[chuckles]

'Didn't you have your own boots

when you were in the army?'

No, I didn't have to go in.

What about that draft notice

up there with your name on it.

[scoffs]

That don't mean nothing.

You know, they can put

your name wherever you want

but that don't mean

they can make you go anywhere.

They tried that with Thrush,

daddy hit 'em off with a rifle

so they don't try so hard now.

Don't you approve of that?

It's not that..

I just don't know why you keep

staring at me like that.

Tryin' to figure you out,

that's all.

Why do you wanna marry

some guy like Ludie Gutshall?

I never heard of Ludie Gutshall

until yesterday.

Honest to God.

My name really is Roonie Gill.

Why would I lie about that?

I don't know.

[instrumental music]

I can't get to sleep with you

starin' at me like that.

Alright, I'm gonna sleep myself.

Don't try runnin' off

in the middle of night though.

I'll have to go

chasing after you.

[sighs]

[coughs]

You're still staring.

This suits you?

[sighs]

[instrumental music]

[laughs]

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, now, hey, now you know

everybody isn't happy enough

don't you?

Just as it is.

Hey. Now, look at me.

Now, I'm gonna

take care of it, ain't I?

Come on.

Am I gonna take care of it?

- Let me hear you say yes.

- Yes.

- What?

- Yes.

[instrumental music]

'Give me a kiss.'

Come on. Give me a kiss.

[bird chirping]

[dog barking]

(Pap)

'Laban Feather!'

'I gotta talk to you.'

[dog barking]

Sister E is with him.

'Hear me, Feather.'

I got no gun.

I just wanna talk to you.

What you want?

My business ain't with you,

Chickie.

I don't see a gun.

Go get the boys.

Alright!

'You can come in then.'

What are you sitting there for?

Stand up

when a lady comes in the room.

Now, Chickie,

you get Mr. Gutshall a chair.

I'll stand up

if it's alright with you.

'What I got to say

ain't gonna take very long.'

[chuckling] Okay, now you just

tell me what you got on your mind.

Tell him.

Tell him what happened.

[crying]

Pap, I just can't.

[sighs]

She was raped by your boys,

Feather.

You tell me.

It was Hawk and Thrush.

You've been up to the still.

Have you been up to the still?

Both my land is posted.

Do you know what that means?

[crying]

Yes, sir.

It means that they been posted

that anybody puts one foot on

just one foot is trespassing.

Do you understand?

What the hell

are you talking about?

Take a look at that.

Okay, Gutshall,

you made your point.

The hell you want me to do?

I'll tell you what I want.

I want those boys whipped.

I want my hogs back.

And I want you to keep

the hell outta that meadow.

What about the girl?

And her.

[chuckles]

No, no, no, no.

You give me your land back,

you get the girl.

Look, you son of a b*tch.

'I want her outta here tomorrow

morning or I'm coming after.'

Don't you threaten me.

It's no threat.

I'll do it.

You settle with them.

Come on.

[dog barking]

Is what she said true?

What's that?

That you raped her.

Says who?

She says.

Tell me.

Look, daddy, uh,

she did come up there.

I don't deny that.

'She's trespassing on our land.'

What the heck?

She's just tryin'

to be friendly.

Friendly?

Now did you or didn't you?

We never did anything to her

that Skylar hadn't done.

Nobody ever said

anything to him.

You keep your

brother out of it.

Look, daddy,

it was her idea.

You're a liar.

'Chickie..'

get Finch outta here.

Come on, Finch.

Oh, Christ.

You boys, made two mistakes.

First, you lied to me..

And then you gave Gutshall

a legal grievance against me,

and that's the worst.

Then why don't you let

Pap Gutshall beat us?

What gives you the right?

I, give me the right.

Is that what you

keep us around for?

To exercise your right?

You don't like it here,

you can clear out anytime.

Okay. I'll leave now.

Heard that before.

Look at ya.

'You're not good

for anything.'

Except horses.

And you speak

pretty good with horses.

Okay, daddy.

Have it your way.

[Thrush grunting]

Why didn't you tell me

you went up to the still.

You made me look like

a Goddamn fool.

- 'What Feather said?'

- Shut up.

Get the wire out.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

- Can I ask you somethin'?

- Yeah.

Your wife,

was she pretty?

Yeah.

Do you think

I'm pretty?

[chuckles]

'You're okay.'

You let your hair grow

and keep your face clean.

What was she like, Zack?

Everything, I mean..

She was beautiful,

warm, smart.

Everybody loved her.

See, we never had a girl

in our family, you know?

So she was really

somethin' else.

Did she like it up here?

She was crazy about it.

She liked to do

all kinds of things.

Like, uh, driving Daddy's car

like he cut down his back rows.

'He used to take her

in town with him.'

Let her have the wheel

on the way back.

[chuckles]

It just scared the hell

outta of him, he loved it.

He used to take her,

uh, target shootin'.

Come home braggin'

how good she was.

[sighs]

Do you think you'll

ever get married again?

Would you lay off that stuff?

[dramatic music]

[horse galloping]

[screaming]

[birds chirping]

[thudding]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

Sh*t.

Alright, you go get

Skylar and go in town

get some kerosene

and I mean a lot of it.

You... you come with me.

Why, what's happenin', daddy?

Get Zack.

- Well, what's...

- Shut up.

(Laban)

'Looks like he meant what he said.'

'Post by post.'

Sign by sign,

they're gonna drive us off.

I told you.

[crows cawing]

What do you think

they're gonna do?

I don't much care,

as long as they don't

come out in our meadow.

You goin' back

to work tomorrow?

Sh*t no, man.

Things are just gettin' good.

Don't you ever think

of leavin' this place?

Huh, there's nothing

down there.

Sure, there is lot's.

Nah, I like it up here.

It's beautiful.

[clears throat]

You know, you grow up

in the mountain..

You don't come down.

It's got nothin'

to do with daddy..

As far as

I'm concerned now.

It's the land with me,

it's all there is.

Don't you want anything

else in your life?

No.

Aren't you afraid to smoke

with all this hay around?

God, you worry.

Here, try it.

[coughing]

You didn't inhale,

now, watch me.

You don't know how to do

much in anything, do you?

Where'd you get that haircut?

[instrumental music]

What's wrong?

Hmm?

Well, nobody's ever

kissed me like that before.

I know that.

Ain't you ever

been in love before?

Oh, come on, all girls

been in love

by the time they're

six years old, I know that.

I haven't.
