- I don't know.
Then I guess we ought to do it.
Whoa! Whoa!
Hi.
As I live and breathe.
Buster here wants to fish.
You're late, Neal.
Yeah, I, uh, didn't get in till late.
Well, I didn't get in at all, but I was here.
Neal, Paul. Paul, Neal.
Neal, in Montana there are three things
we're never late for:
...church, work, and fishing.
Righty-ho.
Anyhoo, this is...
We've met.
Don't go away.
Watch the first step - it's a lulu.
- So...
- You ready to... Neal?
- Neal!
- What?
Fishing.
Buster wants to fish.
Oh, Neal? What about the bait?
Dumb Dora!
We're not gonna catch anything, anyway.
It's too damn hot.
May he get three doses of clap.
Sure glad I didn't go home
and get some sleep!
Where is he?
God!
We'll catch up.
Yeah.
I know, you've got twenty.
Couldn't you find him?
- To hell with him.
- I thought we were supposed to help him.
How the hell do you help
that son of a b*tch?
By taking him fishing.
He doesn't like fishing.
He doesn't like Montana,
and he sure as hell doesn't like me!
Well, maybe what he likes
is somebody trying to help him.
You... You sank the beer, yeah?
You bet your life.
Yeah.
OK, let's go!
Oh, jeez! I can taste it!
Shall we kill him?
Damn it!
Holy Christ!
This is not good.
Well, she's got a tattoo.
Well.
- Initials?
- No.
Love.
I can get in myself.
Hey, you got anything to drink, buster?
Uh, Buster's the one with the red ass.
I'm in deep trouble.
Yeah. You want me
to come over and protect you?
I'm sure Mrs Burns
would love to meet the girlfriend.
I ain't burned!
The sun don't bother me!
Yeah.
What do you think about me spending
the night with you and the folks?
We'll come back here tomorrow,
wipe this day off the books.
It's a deal.
Come on, buster! I'm as dry as dirt.
Hark, fair Juliet speaks.
Good luck!
Ow!
Ow! Aagh!
Sweet Jesus!
What have you done to my boy?
Don't... Aagh!
- What...?
- He fell asleep in the sun.
Oh, my Lord in heaven! It's all right.
It's all right, we'll fix it.
We'll fix it.
You left him alone, Norman?
He was... He brought someone...
...and, uh...
I need a ride home.
You better hang on!
What are you do...?
I don't think you, uh...
They send trains down here all the time,
you know, without a schedule.
You're not, uh...
I don't think
they can see us in here.
Well, thanks for the flight.
You know, you're funny.
Oh? How am I funny?
You, uh...
You don't like my brother, do you?
No, I do not like your brother.
Look, I don't know any card tricks, Jess...
...but I like you.
And I wanna see you again.
Hey!
- Hello, Jess.
- Hey, Paul.
- How's your brother?
- You, uh... You both left him alone.
That was my fault.
Well, you're not forgiven.
Was Norman forgiven?
Norman's not funny.
Whoo!
And I hung fresh towels
on the washstand for you.
Won't you remember
to powder my toothbrush, Mother?
Oh!
Now let Paul tell his latest story.
Oh, yes, which one?
The murder, the wreck or the fire?
on church beat.
I agree, I agree.
Quote:
"The Reverend Maclean had quitea nice roast while dining with his family. "
"All except for the poor elder son...
...enjoyed it immensely. "
- Norman, what's the matter?
- He's not funny.
- Pardon me?
- He's not funny.
Uh, well, there are more important
accomplishments, Norman.
Mm-hm. It's all right if you're dull, Norman.
No!
We're very proud of you.
Well, I do have one story.
No murder, no mayhem.
I interviewed the President.
- Calvin Coolidge?
- The President?
Mr Coolidge?
- When?
- A few days ago.
He was in Dakota... fly-fishing.
Fly-fishing!
Fly-fishing in a suit and tie,
white gloves and patent leather shoes.
So I asked him. I went right up to him.
I said "Excuse me, sir,
can you tell me what they're biting on?"
and says "The end of my line. "
- What?
- The end of my line.
Then a bunch of the locals
came running over...
...tied on some new-fangled fly
the size of a chicken.
Old Cal, he heaves it out there.
Figured if he can't catch a trout,
by God, he's gonna scare one to death.
Did you get a picture?
Oh, yeah. It'll be in the Sunday paper.
"Closed Mouth Cal
Communes With The Croppies. "
Ugh!
Mother, that was amazing.
Yeah, he usually only eats
what he can hit on the road.
That was funny.
- You know, I do worry about you, Paul.
- I think I'm gonna run over and...
- What?
- What?
Oh, I was just gonna say...
...I thought I'd go out and meet some
of the old pals, being in town and all.
Don't you wait up. I'm planning on eating
the rest of this when nobody's looking.
I understand he's changed
the spelling of our name.
"MacLean", with a capital L.
Now everyone will think
we're Lowland Scots.
Howdy, Norman.
Hi, there, Mr Sweeney.
Who do you know
at the University of Chicago?
Chicken in the car. The car won't go.
That's how you spell "Chi-ca-go"!
"Hath elsewhere
it's setting, and cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home. "
Nothing can bring back
the hour of splendour in the grass
Of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not
Rather find strength
in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts
that spring out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death
Thanks to the human heart
by which we live
Thanks to its tenderness,
its joys, its fears.
To me, the meanest flower that blows
Can give thoughts
that do often lie too deep for tears.
Good luck, Son. We'll be rooting for you.
There's sandwiches in here for you.
It was one week ex actly
before I spoke to Jessie again.
She called to tell me
that Neal was going back to California...
...and that he would appreciate me
seeing him off.
We love you, we love you. Good luck.
Though I was surprised by the invitation,
I asked only one question of Jessie.
Did she want me to come?
And she answered yes.
I love you. Don't forget to write!
If he came back next summer,
would you try and help him?
If he wanted me to, I would try.
- Well, he's not coming back.
- At least he's got friends out there.
Who, Ronald Coleman?
Why is it
the people who need the most help...
...won't take it?
I don't know, Jess.
God.
I don't...
I don't cry, Norman.
Can I show you something?
Only if it's something good.
Read.
- So, what do you think?
- What do I think? I think it's the berries!
- You do?
- Yeah. To get away... Chicago...
God, it's heaven!
- Have you ever been?
- No, not anywhere.
Helena!
God, congratulations, Norman!
The truth is, I'm not sure I wanna leave.
Montana, why? It'll always be here.
- Not Montana.
- Then what?
What?
I'm not sure I wanna leave you.
What do they know? I've just come
from there. I'm having my liquid lunch.
Watch it, Fred.
