Lone Star Page #7

576

00:
38:53,040 -- 00:38:55,429

...who'd hesitate for a minute...

577

00:
38:56,040 -- 00:38:59,589

...before they'd call on Buddy Deeds

to solve a problem.

578

00:
39:00,920 -- 00:39:02,353

More than that...

579

00:
39:04,040 -- 00:39:05,712

...I wouldn't care to say.

580

00:
39:08,280 -- 00:39:11,397

I'm supposed to tell my friends

they're too low-class to hang with?

581

00:
39:11,480 -- 00:39:12,833

Come on, Amado.

582

00:
39:12,960 -- 00:39:16,191

-'Cause I'm not like Miss Honor Roll?

-Leave your sister out of it.

583

00:
39:16,280 -- 00:39:18,271

You and those teachers in that dump....

584

00:
39:18,360 -- 00:39:20,635

Your story's over, so nobody can have fun.

585

00:
39:20,720 -- 00:39:21,630

You jerk.

586

00:
39:21,720 -- 00:39:23,551

You have no friends.

587

00:
39:23,640 -- 00:39:25,631

Who'd be friends with a ipachuco/i wannabe?

588

00:
39:26,000 -- 00:39:29,549

-I don't pretend I came on the Mayflower.

-And those stupid girls.

589

00:
39:29,640 -- 00:39:30,675

Shut up.

590

00:
39:31,000 -- 00:39:34,356

Joanie Orozco's telling the whole school

she's in love with Santo Guerra.

591

00:
39:34,440 -- 00:39:35,316

So?

592

00:
39:35,400 -- 00:39:37,868

You can't be desperately in love

when you're 14.

593

00:
39:38,760 -- 00:39:40,876

Not if you have half a brain in your head.

594

00:
39:40,960 -- 00:39:42,552

Of course, you can.

595

00:
39:43,160 -- 00:39:44,036

What?

596

00:
39:44,480 -- 00:39:47,119

It's got nothing to do with being smart.

597

00:
39:48,040 -- 00:39:50,508

It's ancient goddamn history, Danny.

598

00:
39:50,680 -- 00:39:54,355

1963, they dam up the north branch

to make Lake Pescadero...

599

00:
39:54,440 -- 00:39:56,351

...and a whole town disappears.

600

00:
39:56,440 -- 00:39:57,634

A squatter's town!

601

00:
39:57,720 -- 00:40:02,032

People lived in Perdido for over 100 years!

Mexicans and Chicanos are deported...

602

00:
40:02,120 -- 00:40:05,829

...forcibly evicted by our local hero,

Buddy Deeds, and his department.

603

00:
40:06,000 -- 00:40:08,116

There was a bill from the state legislature.

604

00:
40:08,200 -- 00:40:11,317

Families were split apart!

A whole community was destroyed!

605

00:
40:11,440 -- 00:40:15,592

And who gets Lakefront property

bought for a fraction of the market price?

606

00:
40:15,920 -- 00:40:19,754

Buddy Deeds, Sheriff of Rio County,

and his Chief Deputy, Hollis Pogue.

607

00:
40:20,520 -- 00:40:21,839

Are you finished?

608

00:
40:23,240 -- 00:40:25,037

Look, I'm not after you, Sam.

609

00:
40:25,440 -- 00:40:28,910

I just think people ought to know

the full story on Buddy Deeds.

610

00:
40:31,280 -- 00:40:32,759

That makes two of us.

611

00:
40:36,720 -- 00:40:40,838

What's the big deal? Go back over,

talk to the man, and bury the hatchet.

612

00:
40:40,920 -- 00:40:44,151

Why me? He's had almost 40 years

and I haven't heard from him.

613

00:
40:44,240 -- 00:40:45,639

He was probably embarrassed.

614

00:
40:45,720 -- 00:40:48,871

Otis Payne was never embarrassed

about a thing in his life.

615

00:
40:49,120 -- 00:40:50,917

You were 8 when he left.

616

00:
40:51,160 -- 00:40:54,232

He moved three houses down

with my mother's best friend.

617

00:
40:54,760 -- 00:40:55,795

Dad.

618

00:
40:56,480 -- 00:40:58,630

''Delmore, where's your daddy?''

619

00:
40:58,760 -- 00:41:02,275

Godforsaken town.

Everybody in everybody else's business.

620

00:
41:02,480 -- 00:41:04,152

Everybody loved Otis. Big ''O.''

621

00:
41:04,240 -- 00:41:07,357

Always there with a smile or a loan...

622

00:
41:07,440 -- 00:41:10,238

-...or a free drink.

-Dad, can I talk to you about track?

623

00:
41:10,320 -- 00:41:11,275

People change.

624

00:
41:11,840 -- 00:41:12,989

Not that much.

625

00:
41:13,080 -- 00:41:14,035

I talked to the coach.

626

00:
41:14,120 -- 00:41:16,315

I told you. Next year,

if your grades are high.

627

00:
41:16,400 -- 00:41:17,594

I have a B average!

628

00:
41:17,680 -- 00:41:20,353

How many B students do you think

they take at West Point?

629

00:
41:20,440 -- 00:41:22,829

We'll be here for three years.

We'll have to see him.

630

00:
41:23,480 -- 00:41:24,879

No, we don't.

631

00:
41:34,160 -- 00:41:37,152

Get off the phone.

We've got a big wedding.

632

00:
41:37,480 -- 00:41:38,435

Mommy....

633

00:
41:42,520 -- 00:41:44,715

They are getting stupider every year.

634

00:
41:44,840 -- 00:41:47,115

Maybe you're getting less patient.

635

00:
41:47,680 -- 00:41:50,877

If they're going to survive,

they have to know how to work.

636

00:
41:51,240 -- 00:41:53,708

You hire illegals, what do you expect?

637

00:
41:54,280 -- 00:41:56,191

Nobody's illegal in my cafe!

638

00:
41:56,560 -- 00:41:59,996

They've got green cards,

relatives who were born here.

639

00:
42:00,400 -- 00:42:03,153

If they only had a little common sense,

I'd be happy.

640

00:
42:03,240 -- 00:42:06,232

If you took more time training them,

you wouldn't have to--

641

00:
42:06,320 -- 00:42:09,676

Did you come here to teach me

how to run my business?

642

00:
42:17,440 -- 00:42:19,476

Do you want to take a trip...

643

00:
42:19,600 -- 00:42:21,033

...down south with us?

644

00:
42:21,120 -- 00:42:23,111

Maybe see where you grew up?

645

00:
42:23,560 -- 00:42:26,393

-Why would I want to go there?

-You must be curious...

646

00:
42:26,480 -- 00:42:30,234

...how it's changed. Amado is

into this big itejano/i-roots thing...

647

00:
42:31,680 -- 00:42:34,274

...and I've never been further

than Ciudad Len.

648

00:
42:34,480 -- 00:42:36,118

You want to see Mexicans?

649

00:
42:36,280 -- 00:42:38,316

Open your eyes and look around you.

650

00:
42:38,600 -- 00:42:40,477

We're up to our ears in them.

651

00:
42:42,480 -- 00:42:43,754

Mommy...

652

00:
42:45,600 -- 00:42:48,194

...how old were you when my father died?

653

00:
42:49,120 -- 00:42:50,439

He was killed.

654

00:
42:51,040 -- 00:42:52,758

Right, when he was killed.

655

00:
42:54,440 -- 00:42:56,908

A little older than Paloma is now.

656

00:
42:57,800 -- 00:42:59,631

How come you never remarried?

657

00:
43:01,240 -- 00:43:03,151

It just didn't happen.

658

00:
43:04,680 -- 00:43:05,954

There must have been...

659

00:
43:06,040 -- 00:43:07,155

...somebody.

660

00:
43:08,560 -- 00:43:09,959

I was too busy.

661

00:
43:12,400 -- 00:43:14,391

Nobody is too busy.

662

00:
43:15,000 -- 00:43:16,035

Maybe now.

663

00:
43:16,320 -- 00:43:18,356

It was different back then.

664

00:
43:18,840 -- 00:43:21,718

I had to do all the shopping,

all the cooking....

665

00:
43:22,040 -- 00:43:25,874

What do I need some ichulo/i with grease

under his nails to drink up the profit?

666

00:
43:27,000 -- 00:43:27,876

Thank you.

667

00:
43:28,160 -- 00:43:29,388

I don't mean Fernando.

668

00:
43:30,720 -- 00:43:33,280

When I brought him home,

those were your exact words:

669

00:
43:33,360 -- 00:43:35,351

''A ichulo/i with grease under his nails.''
