knock you cold and throw you off.

I'm sorry, Bill.

You're sorry? what do you mean?

Aw, that we had to end up like this.

we've had scraps, plenty of them,

ever since we was kids.

I didn't give you a fair deal on the last one.

No?

Doubting you the way I did.

I could never get the straight of it,

between you and Lily, I mean.

I guess it was because

I was seeing too much red.

well, I got what was coming to me.

I stopped seeing what there was to see.

Shut up! It's no time for talk.

I'm the guy that did it.

I don't know how it happened.

But I didn't mean to hurt you, God knows.

But there's one thing I didn't do, fella.

Lily's yours, and she's still yours,

and, well, she'll always be yours.

I know that, Bill.

You won't let me take the engine out?

No. No!

well, it's the only...

Goodbye, Bill.

Goodbye, Jack.

I guess I won't be seeing you again.

Do you wanna shake?

Sure.

Have a little chew on me.

Getting a little bit closer.

what's the matter, Bill?

Jack! Jack! Let go of me.

Let me go. Let me go.

That's my buddy...

Let me go, I tell you. Let me go.

All right, let me go.

MAN:

Don't let Haley see you.

BILL:

Haley can kiss my hand if he don't like it.

Good morning, Mr. White.

Scrambled eggs.

WAITRESS:
They're almost ready for you.

I ordered them the moment I saw the engine.

Thanks.

WAITRESS:
Can I get you something?

Just a cup of coffee, please.

Hello, Bill.

Gee, you're looking well.

Yeah, I'm all right.

That's good.

It turned quite warm yesterday, didn't it?

At least, it did where I was.

Back home, I mean.

Yeah.

I guess maybe spring's here, all right.

Yes, that's one reason I came back.

Yeah?

Yeah.

The house has to be painted.

And there's some gardening to do and...

well, there's a lot of things

to be done, you know.

You gonna sell it?

Sell it? Oh, no, no.

No, I've come back here to live.

It won't be so lonesome

with Peg-Leg next door.

Maybe you'll come over

and see us sometime.

If you've got an hour or so...

...you might come over

and spade the backyard.

I'm gonna put in sweet peas again.
