Possum, put that up, now.
Our Heavenly Father...
...bless this meal and those
Make us thankful for your generous
bounty and your unceasing love.
Please remind us,
in these hard times...
...to be grateful for what
we have been given...
...and not to ask for what
we cannot have.
And make us mindful of those
...as we sit at this table
with all of thy bounty.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Turn your plate over.
Put your napkin in your lap.
Frank, you want to take some...
...okra and pass it to your pa?
- Yes, ma'am.
Forgot to tell you, we got a letter
from your Aunt Gladys.
...during your vacation.
But I don't know.
I was hoping we could paint the house.
I'll get it.
Thank you.
- Frank, one biscuit.
- Yes, ma'am.
Right on my biscuit.
Excuse me, Mrs. Spalding.
The sheriff home?
He is, but we just sat down to dinner.
Can't this wait?
No, we got a problem down...
It's all right!
I'll be right there, Jack!
Sorry to bother you, sheriff, but
there's a drunk Negro by the track.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Where are you going?
- With Pa.
- Royce?
- Hey.
No one excused you from the table,
young man. You stay here.
I won't be gone long.
- Who'd you say it was?
- That Wylie boy, sheriff...
Hey, boys, get on back now,
you hear me? You hear?
Wylie!
Wylie!
Howdy, Mr. Royce.
Nice day.
Wylie, you're drunk as a skunk.
I sure am, Mr. Royce.
Now, you ought to know
better than that.
I'm sorry, Mr. Royce.
- You ready to come with me now?
- Just a minute.
Wylie, are you done?
Royce...
Frank!
Frank!
Frank, give me my doll!
Frank. Possum.
- Frank. Possum.
- Give me my doll!
Come here.
Come on.
Something's happened to your pa.
- What do you think?
- Get her out here.
Ma?
- Ma?
- Never you mind, hon. Don't you look.
Come on.
For pity's sake, what do you
think you're doing?
You get out of here. Right now.
- Right now, Glen. I mean it.
- Guess we can go now.
Oh, sis.
Rosalie, you go down.
Go inside, both of you.
Oh, sis.
Sis, I'm so sorry.
I am so sorry.
I don't want anybody to see me.
- I don't want anybody to see me.
- I'm not gonna let anybody see you.
Nobody's gonna see you.
We would have been married 15 years
this October.
We had two children.
And I never knew till just now
Royce had a scar right there.
I never knew that.
I was afrai... I was afraid you wasn't
gonna make it.
Just don't worry about anything.
Darling, I'm sorry. I just heard.
I got here as fast as I could.
You all right? Come here.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Oh, honey, everything's gonna
be all right.
I'm here now.
I know how bad you feel.
There now, there now. I'm sorry.
...when I saw that poor man
in there...
...was what would I do if it was you?
What would I do if something
happened to you?
Ain't nothing gonna happen to me.
I'm too ornery.
I don't think I could live without you.
Oh, I love you.
I love you so much.
I love you too.
Sorry to hear about it.
Thank you. We appreciate it.
- Wayne.
- Viola.
- Where's Edna?
- She's in the kitchen with Margaret.
All right.
- Hi, Buddy.
- Hello, Wayne. How you doing?
- How's Mrs. Spalding?
- She's all right.
Excuse me.
Vi, you want to take this
for a minute? I'll be right back.
Here, sug.
Come on, you gotta eat something.
Marie Thornton made that.
It's real good.
Margaret.
I can't support this family.
I haven't the least idea
how to go about it.
It seems...
...like I have never done anything
all my life...
...but raise kids...
...and take care of this house.
Royce paid all the bills.
I never even knew how much
salary he made.
And thou shalt eat
the herbs of the field.
In the sweat of thy face
shalt thou eat bread...
...till thou return unto the ground...
...for out of it wast thou taken.
For dust thou art...
...and unto dust thou shall return.
Amen.
would never leave.
- Margaret, let me get this now.
- No, you go on and rest.
I'll get that.
Evening, ma'am. Excuse me...
...but I was wondering if you have
any work around here?
No. There's nothing here.
You go on now. Shoo.
What is it?
I was just asking if you had
any chores I can help with.
Oh, no, there's no work around here.
I can make you a plate of food.
Thank you, ma'am.
- You wait out by the gate.
- Yes, ma'am.
Excuse me!
Morning!
I thought I told you last night
you can't stay around here.
Well, I seen you was almost
out of firewood...
...so I thought I'd chop some for you.
I could fix you some breakfast,
but after that, you got to go.
Thank you, ma'am.
You know, ma'am...
...you got a nice henhouse over here.
Of course, it's about ready
to fall down.
A mighty good-looking milk cow.
She sure need
taking care of, though.
There must be close to 40 acres
out back.
I reckon with the right
kind of help...
...you'd make yourself a handsome
living just farming cotton.
All you need is somebody like me...
...who knows most everything there is
I was thinking that maybe...
...I could work around here for food
and a place to stay.
No. I can't give you any work.
I could fix you some breakfast,
and then you've got to leave.
- No such thing as a job, nowadays.
- I'm sorry.
I'll fix you a nice plate of food.
You go wait out there
and I'll bring it to you, okay?
Yes, ma'am.
I can mend this fence with no
trouble at all, right after breakfast.
Oh, that'd be fine, just fine.
Okay. I'll be right out here.
Good afternoon, Mrs. Spalding.
- Mr. Denby.
- I hope I'm not bothering you.
- No. Won't you come in?
- Oh, thank you.
- Please.
- Thank you.
Mrs. Spalding, on behalf of everyone
down at the First Farmers Bank...
...if there's anything we can do in
this hour of need, please ask.
Thank you.
Mrs. Spalding...
...I don't know how much your husband
told you about his business.
But at the close
...you had a balance of $116.72.
However, when your husband
bought this place...
...he did borrow money
from the bank.
At the time of his death
he still owed...
...$3681, to be paid twice a year.
What that means, Mrs. Spalding, is...
...come October 15th, you will owe
the bank $240.
We were wondering
if you had any idea...
...how you were gonna
make that payment.
Yes.
Matter of fact, I do.
I was thinking...
Rilla Langsford and her sister
have that nice little gift shop.
I thought I could
do the same thing.
I could get some pretty little things,
and I could set them out...
Mrs. Spalding, why would someone
come all the way out here...
...when the Langsfords' place
is there on the square?
Mrs. Spalding, what we at the bank
suggest is that you sell this place.
Now I know times are hard...
...but maybe we can pay off the loan
