Raintree County Page #4

The raintree?

That's another thing, Johnny.

That day you went chasing the raintree

l was waiting for you

l didn't know where you had gone,

but l knew that swamp

l'm sorry, l guess l didn't realize.

You just didn't realize anything

Johnny, to some people you're a man

of great importance.

Your exact location is of intense

concern to... to some people

l'd better go, Johnny.

Not yet

Johnny.

Please

Johnny, l'd better go

lt's getting late, we'd better go

0h, no, you don't.

Who's that?

Why don't you move up here and

find out?

So it was you.

Who did you think it was?

You know anything about this?

You got anything to do with this?

Doing with that?

With the Professor, he

ran off with Lady Gray

lf he is still in the county, he'll get

a chance out of thousand to get not alive.

We've got hundred men looking for her.

Nobody can come to this county and

run off with another man's wife

lt occurs to me, young man, that you're

a friend of this.

This man's.

But a thing like this...

There're no nobbles.

Whose side are you on?

I'm taking Nell home.

No, l'll see you tomorrow.

Alright, young man, l'm still waiting

for your answer.

You'll get yourself a long wait,

l'm going home.

Hello, Johnny.

And what have you been up to?

Where's Lydia?

Wonderful woman... l did try cut her

away from her husband.

That's the day you won your race.

Where's she?

She had missed the train

at the 3-mile junction

0r we'd have been hundred miles away

by now.

As we got back to the buggy, 3 men

with guns marched up to the platform

l grasped the situation once there.

But that was only the beginning

0n the way back, the first man l met

asked if l heard about the man

who ran off with a man's wife

l'm a stranger here myself, l said

0n the road, l met a troop of camions

carrying for the station...

Where's Lydia?

She's home right now

waiting for Mr. Gray

l took her straight back.

As for myself, l took off

like a street beggar

l guess you think l'm a bit a scoundrel,

right, Johnny?

L don't know... l don't know what l think.

Don't think too badly on me

l suppose the heroic thing to be done

would be to stick around and

let the outraged husband discharge

his fury with a shotgun.

But l hate that Sanctimonious warthog

too much to give him the satisfaction.

Besides, l am scared.

One thing, Johnny.

Nothing happened, absolutely nothing.

And that's the end just for all

lf there's any phantom to be hanged...

The county would say

there might be me and some truth

could be in it.

Alright

l just managed the whole thing badly.

Did you?

Come on.

Where are we going?

You 've got to get out of the county.

Well, good idea, it occurred to me

Johnny, why not both of us?

Study my example,

get out of Raintree County,

Someone would get you with a shotgun.

Not me, you

l guess you're right

(ln French) Apres vous la delige.

There he is.

Come on.

Get on the train.

Goodbye, dear boy.

Go on for great better things.

Get on the train.

We want him.

Where you've been, Mr. Gray?

Your wife has been home

for the past 12 hours.

Nothing happened, absolutely nothing.

He's a liar.

You want to shoot me and later find out

he was right?

What are you afraid of?

You want him, you take him

l'm going home.

You get out of my way, boy

or l'll cut your eyes out.

Goodbye, dear friend.

Remember me as a man who loves

Raintree County...

But just happens to lose

most of the people in it

Johnny

Johnny, l had to come back,

l'm going to have a baby

Johnny, this letter was left

on the door step, it's for you

0h, thank you

Johnny, this marriage you announced.

Sit down

l can't honestly say l'm entirely

approved of the precipity.

But, under the circumstances necessary

haste with which you've gone into it

l know, l certainly understand.

Anyway, l think you're doing

the manly thing

l hope the young lady is all that

she appears what she appears to be.

Judge not the, beyond the judge.

L know, Sir.

Marry her, son, and be happy.

Thank you.

You need any money?

L don't know... l don't think so right now

0h, there was a letter

came for you

l... have it here

0f course.

Hello.

Hello, Johnny

l got your letter

Johnny, as one for whom

you want for perfection,

l just want to say good luck

and wish you all the happiness

in the world.

And the poem you wrote for me and

the picture you gave me...

L just feel that l want to return it

l thought maybe you want it now

l really did not want to get that out

lt's just that, everything has changed

and l don't mean anything to you.

We don't mean anything

to each other anymore

Nell... l'm sorry

lt's not your fault, Johnny...

Everybody knows that

lt was the 4th of July.

You drank all that whisky and

you went out to the lake.

No, l am responsible, nobody else.

That's so much like you, Johnny.

Why do you have so much conscience?

Maybe that's why l love you

Johnny, l love you so much.

Did that l wish l didn't... l wish...

The words of Lord Byron in that book

you gave me.

'Forever love and before ever..-'

Still forever...

L wish you well.

You're right, Mrs. Seanacy

l like the river... it even smells good

l really don't understand it.

Would you smell mouse like it too?

Now, there's something l don't understand.

All you've to do is go south once and

you'll love it.

Well, a north Yanky to the south

is not too easy to understand.

You ever read Uncle Tom's Cabin?

Uncle Tom's Cabin?

I've married an abolitionist, have l?

That's skeleton in my classic.

Now, you mustn't joke about it.

Are they friendly?

Anyway, the worst thing is to be

an abolitionist.

Like what?

That cabin Negro blooded.

Just one little tiny drop in the person

all Negro.

They just can't tell either

ls it gonna be room for 2 of us?

It's only sort of a hobby...

I'm taking with me wherever l go.

This is Jimmy... l've had it the longest.

Where did you get him?

He needs a bath

0h, Johnny, forgive my foolishness

0h, l do love you so.

When l'm with you, l feel like nothing.

Can happen to me as long as l have you.

You won't have let anything happen to me.

Will you, Johnny?

Enjoy yourself, Johnny?

Very much.

Then what do you think about

the ever-glooming south?

As l said, l love it... l do.

That sounds general, isn't it?

What you really think of it?

Well, Sir, l think so highly of it

l worry only by this talk

of sucession.

Sucession?

Remember, young man.

The Union belongs to those who keep

breath in this cabinet.

What cousin Sam means, Johnny,

if sucession comes...

It's the north that should suceed.

Hear him say...

Sam, one thing you must understand

Johnny is a poet.

It's taking him 2 months to discover.

Therefore, he loves the south

l'm not so sure he proves it.

That's because he's a moralist.

You won't get straight answers from him.

He'll draw up opinions for another day.

He's also a dreamer

a seeker for the

meaning of life with capital letters.

Sir, your search is in the end.
