CHILD:
Get down.

[child shouting]

[man's voice in background]

SAM:
Aye-aye, Captain.

Oy, matey.

Hey, Mom, I'm a pirate today.

Well, honey, you could be.

Should I have an eye patch,

or a parrot, or a hook, or--

Get your plate, you're

going to eat something.

[sigh]

Get in there.

Whoa, do it.

Go on.

Be still.

Go on, get in there.

Your silage holding up OK?

MR. MCKIBBEN:
Going

through it too fast.

How's that new growth enhancer?

Packed on more than 15

pounds this last week.

Yeah, they lick that stuff up.

Yeah.

I could cut you a better

price with the enhancer

if you want to do six

months of antibiotic system.

The system includes injectables

and antibiotics for your feed.

You mix it in with

your feed, you

don't have to treat

just one hog at a time.

MR. MCKIBBEN:
Good stuff.

My pleasure, Mr. McKibbin.

I'm going to have to check

with my rep on the pricing.

I can come in lower.

I appreciate you coming out.

All right, I'll follow

up with you next week.

Can't make you any promises.

Sure, I understand.

[car approaching]

MAN (IN CAR):
(YELLING) Freak.

[man's voice on radio]

Bye, Stephen.

Real kind of you to keep

an eye on him, Stephen.

No, nothing, ma'am.

Sam is my friend.

Halloween carnival is coming--

You gonna be keeping

the peace, Sheriff?

With my star and my hat.

Well, we're counting on

you to maintain order.

Flawless out there.

All right, well,

thank you, sweetheart.

Bye, Stephen.

STEPHEN:
Bye.

Sam, sit down.

Bye-- bye, Sam.

SAM:
If a word starts

with R or N or D,

you say like

iratepas for pirate.

You get it?

Esoys airboys.

That's good, Mom.

Thanks.

So bullfighter or pirate?

Better decide, it's going

to take time to make it.

[music playing]

Dicofol, terbacil, topramezone,

glyphosate 2, 4-D, dicamba--

Dicamba.

Norflurazon.

Morphozon.

Increase.

Increase.

Glyphosate, topramezone.

Increase.

Air, what 'chu got on there?

My Allzack pack balls.

What about this one?

It's not easy

making your own way.

You finish that application?

Come on, we made a plan.

Kid that gave you that shiner,

be working for you someday.

SAM:
Permission to board.

We're talking, Sam.

SAM:
Permission granted.

Your dad and I never had a

chance to go to college, Finn.

SAM:
Jackson, falling to kill.

You know, what you're

saying right now--

Ow.

...doesn't make any sense.

So shutas itas.

You gonna draw

bees for a living?

You think some BS

degree in ag science

is gonna make a difference?

[bees buzzing]

My granddad used to keep bees.

I'd run around the clover

patch while he worked.

That smell, I never forget.

Honey is what you're here for?

Pardon me, Betty,

I-- I feel I know you.

You're with Gigas?

Huh, yeah.

That's a great set

up you got here.

We like it.

Come by to see Frank.

He's on a run.

Oh, that's good.

Any run's a good one.

Look, I know you all

been having some trouble

with your accounts.

Keep our overhead

low, we'll ride it out.

Keep your inventory

in the barn?

Well, like I told

Frank, this would

make a perfect place for Gigas

to set up another warehouse.

Well, I'm sure

you'll find something.

Yeah.

You got other work you need to

get on to, I don't want to keep

you from--

Well, you have

Frank give me a call.

Best of luck with everything.

I don't have any homework.

Swear it.

Not a minute after 5 o'clock.

Keep this side of the river,

and stay out of the water.

SAM:
I heard you.

Haven't seen Elena at school.

We go home after the harvest

and so she start again there.

Good for her, a little

extra vacation time.

[man's voice on police radio]

Afternoon, Silas.

SILAS:
Hey, Betty,

how are you and Frank?

We're perfect, thanks.

Tomatoes are ripe, just

out of the field.

Time for canning.

Just yesterday it was spring.

Special bargain today.

For you?

Follow me.

So far it is for me.

Look at that.

Now I got to get a rock.

[speaking spanish]

Hands up, sissy.

Looks like you don't

have any hands, huh?

Come on, put your hands up.

Ha, put your hands up.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

Oh, you're hungry?

Oh, I'm starving.

No, no.

Get off.

Get off of me.

[laughter]

We haven't done anything

like this since--

Since we used to tear

through McKibbin's cornfields

with a six pack and a hard-on.

And you're just the same.

Same old you.

Frank.

You look just the same.

Someone from Gigas

came out to the

to house today looking for you.

Gigas--

He knew my name.

...is an animal marking territory.

[laughter]

[music playing]

[music playing on radio]

[dog barking]

Thought you were on a run?

[exhale]

Just took Sam to school.

Family?

Stubborn.

He sees things the way he

wants, not how they are.

Like you.

Give me those papers.

You're sweating

through your shirt.

Seems like you've been home

more than you've been out.

I'll go up to the

house and change.

No deliveries?

I could go through those,

you know, I could--

No, no, I got it.

Follow 'em.

I said no.

All right.

You want some coffee?

Sure.

Push me, Mom.

I'm going to see if

Fin's done with his shift.

You should go on in

over to the fabric

and pick out something

for your costume.

Something red and black.

Red and black, right?

Mhm.

What about the eye patch?

Make that at home.

Sword?

I think sword's the best part.

We'll do it together.

Oh, hey, I'm Finley.

I'm in ladies underwear.

Can I help you?

My, how you've grown.

Get that thing off

before someone sees you.

What do you think about me

going as like a transgender

vampire for Halloween?

Think your father's right.

If you spend as

much energy trying

to fit in as you do

trying to stick out,

you'd be a lot happier.

Everyone's the

same around here.

Fin, that's not fair.

You're right.

There are guys who wear

Carhartts, drive trucks,

and smoke cigarettes

and then there

are guys who wear Carhartts,

drive trucks, and shoot

a bad cow.

Very clever.

Hello, Mrs. Freeman, hello.

Hi, Stephen.

Where's Sam?

Where's Sam?

Oh, he's, ah, he's somewhere.

I'll go find Sam.

That boy is everywhere.

OK, open your fist.

Why don't you just

go as yourself?

Or you could go as

a mean older brother.

Then we won't need any costumes.

Or I could go as a bullfighter.

Well, you have to

make up your own mind.

Come on, boys.

Let's clear up the table.

For Paula, for

pretty Paula, for P--

Shut it.

You keep him and

hawing, there's

not got going to be time to

make anything for Halloween.

SAM:
You could go as Paula.

Paula.

Your girlfriend Paula.

Shut it.

There's my boy.

Hey.

Hi, Finley.

Fin, would you go

check your brother,

make sure he's

getting ready for bed?

Can't he do

anything by himself?

BETTY:
Finley, get.

K. Well, uh, I'll-

I'll see you at work.

You will catch me at work.

BETTY:
Paula.

What?

He makes me feel better.

[chuckle]

MAN (ON RADIO):
Did it grow?

Last summer's drought was a

killer for retail food prices.

We talk a lot of about
