He just needs to relax.

He'll be fine.

l-I don't care, Mary Beth.

- I don't think so.

- I'm finished running...

even if it means I have to die here.

- I'm sorry.

- Cut!

Take 10, everyone.

Yeah, right.

- Let me talk to him.

- Here. I'm sorry. The plants just...

Is there any way we can just try one m...

one more? I'm really sorry.

- Kill those lights then, will you?

- Oh, no.

- That's pretty.

- Yeah. And what do you think...

- Yeah. And you have a bonnet too.

- It's perfect.

- Good.

- Yeah. Thanks.

- This should do it.

- I'll be right back, okay?

Roll camera. And... action.

I'm not running anymore, Mary Beth.

I don't care what anybody says.

It's too dangerous here for you, Frankie.

I'm not afraid of danger,

Mary Beth. Not anymore, I'm not.

Frankie, they already killed Ma and Pa.

I don't care, Mary Beth.

I'm-I'm finished running.

I'm staying here even it means

I have to die from it... for it!

Cut!

- Jesus, it's killing me too, kid.

- I'm sorry!

George! This is going terrible.

Where's Mom?

Probably hanging herself somewhere.

Did you see me?

Who was I kidding? I can't do this.

Sure, you can. Right? This is what

you came all the way out here for.

- What, humiliation? I'm awful.

- No, you're not. All right?

Look, you did all those plays.

I never actually acted in any of them.

All right, it's easy.

Just-Just think the scene through.

They killed your parents.

They killed your brothers.

It's only you and your sister left,

and you have to make a stand.

Look. Just listen to how I do it, okay?

Let 'em come for me.

I'm not moving.

I'm staying right here on this land.

If I have to die for it, then so be it.

This is our family's land, Mary Beth...

soaked with our parents' blood.

We earned it, and I'm staying right here.

So what are you gonna do if they come?

Let 'em come for me. I'm not moving.

I'm staying right here on this land.

This is our family's land, Mary Beth...

soaked with our parents' blood.

We earned it. I'm staying right here.

They'll kill you, Frankie.

I don't care.

Mary Beth, I'm not afraid anymore.

I've run all my life,

and I'm finished running.

This is where I belong...

with you, with whatever's

left of my family.

I didn't know it before,

but I know it now.

I made the mistake of leaving once,

but I'm home now...

and I ain't goin' anywhere.

I don't care what anybody says.

And that's how I got my studio contract.

They're coming! They're coming!

Call the sheriff!

Cut! Print! Moving on!

- Moving on!

- What's happening now?

It took Robbie

all of a minute to forget about acting...

and decide to change his career.

- Here. Let me just...

- His first love was costumes anyway.

I decided to change my name

to Hamilton, my father's real name.

My mother decided

to change her priorities.

She discovered that

she didn't need a husband...

although she had plenty of offers.

I often think about those months

we spent on the road together...

trying to find someone to take care of us.

What we found instead

was that we didn't need anyone else...

that we could take care

of ourselves just fine...

thanks all the same.

I've seen some dreamy guys

With sparkles in their eyes

Ah, but none

like my one and only

A billion stars at night

Could never shine as bright

as the sun

Like my one and only

It's such a cryin' shame

To play the numbers game

And barely know

the company you're keepin'

You can take the tears

Give me the golden years

The smiles that I'll be reapin'

While I know each night I'm sleepin'

I'll wake up to a friend

And another happy end's begun

With my one and only

It's such a cryin' shame

To play the numbers game

And barely know

the company you're keepin'

You can take the tears

Give me the golden years

The smiles that I'll be reapin'

While I know each night

I'm sleepin'

I'll wake up to a friend

And another happy end

Has begun

With my one

And only

Sail the sunlight

sparkling on the bay

A magic carpet

'cross the Milky Way

Don't forget whatever

golden rays may say

You're mine, mmm

Stroll the sands

of some exotic shores

There's a world as big

as all outdoors

Don't forget whatever dream is

Yours to find

You're mine

I'll

Just keep hoping in

My heart

In some way, we

Won't stay far

Apart

Other places

just around the bend

All the faces

where you'll find a friend

Don't forget who's yours

Until the end of time

You're mine

I'll

Just keep hoping in

My heart

Don't forget who's yours

Until the end of time

You're mine
