for a second?
Bic.
So how's your work going?
It's going well.
Yeah?
Thanks. Yeah.
Hey, you guys
already done for the day?
Yeah. You bet.
It's been a good day.
We got a lot
accomplished.
It's not even noon.
We're going hunting.
Sorry. I thought
I told you that.
It's kind of a big
deal around here.
Do you mind?
Is that okay if...
Well, I...
(CHUCKLING)
Yeah, I guess.
I mean, if...
If you get the roof done...
Sure.
No, it'll be done.
...you know, on time,
the agreed time.
Of course.
Okay.
All right.
Hey, Charlie.
Listen... I don't mind
your guys helping
themselves to some beers.
Thanks, by the way,
for the beer.
Sure, yeah,
it's no problem.
Appreciate that.
But listen, your guy...
Is it Bic?
Well, he just walked
right into the house
and, you know...
Sh*t.
Is Bic giving
you a reason
not to trust him
or something?
(CHUCKLES) No.
You let me know
if that happens,
and I'll handle it.
Okay.
All right.
Well, we better get going.
All right,
load it up, guys.
Thanks, guys.
Mr. Sumner.
Yeah?
Do you want to
come hunting with us?
The whitetails really run
this time of year.
Hell, yeah.
It'll be fun.
No, thanks.
I got to work.
Can you turn down the scanner?
Okay.
Charlie nailed
one the other day.
Did he?
Yeah.
Well, it sounds great,
but I really got to write.
That's why we're here.
I bet it wasn't Amy's idea
to come live here.
She had that bus
schedule memorized about
freshman year or so.
(CHUCKLES)
Well, if you ever want to
come hunting with us,
you just say the word.
I might take you
up on that.
You should.
All right.
Have a good day, folks.
All right.
Go hunting with them?
No, I'm just trying to
show them a little respect.
BIC:
Bye!towards the door #
(LAUGHING)
Hi.
Chris, do it already.
Make the shot already.
Wait.
What you got?
For sure!
F***! No, no, no, no, no!
No, I just missed.
(ALL SHOUTING)
I just missed.
How much they gonna pay us?
Them two look like they
could afford to pay plenty.
Plenty's what the f*** I need.
They're going
to pay us enough.
Amy's looking good,
ain't she?
She looked fine.
You know, I bet that
motherfucking lucky husband
of hers never had
any p*ssy like that
before he became a big shot.
Hey! Excuse me!
F***, man!
Don't talk like that.
Who's next?
Twenty?
Twenty-five.
Big money, boys.
AMY:
It's your move.Hmm.
Check.
Okay.
Right.
"This move now puts black
"into a desperate plight
(CAT HISSES)
"with no possibility
of mobilizing his
"or hers disorganized pieces.
"Black can
conveniently use..."
Tell you what.
I bet you I can
finish my exercises,
get into bed
before you make
your next move.
You're on.
Put the book down.
No help.
You should be
encouraging my education.
Drop it.
All right.
All right, all right,
all right, all right.
Are you ready?
Are you?
Go.
Thinking hard.
Shh! David!
(HUMMING)
(LAUGHS) Stop it!
Got it!
Got it.
You're supposed to do 100.
I did 100.
No, you didn't.
I was counting
by binary numbers.
No...
Why?
No.
What?
First of all,
you're still in check.
The knight
can't move sideways.
It's got to go in
an "L" shape, remember?
(SIGHS)
Why is it called a knight
when it's really a horse?
(LAUGHS)
Is that funny?
I actually don't
know the answer to that.
That's a first.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Baby.
You don't have to
(LAUGHS)
I'm not learning
to please you, baby.
I'm learning
so I can kick your ass.
Really?
Yeah, really.
(LAUGHING) Ow!
What about that ass?
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(CLEARS THROAT)
Lie down.
No.
Lie down.
(LAUGHS)
No.
Lie down.
Close your eyes.
(LAUGHING)
Close 'em.
(CHUCKLING)
Rook or knight?
That is the knightlhorse.
Very good.
Mmm-hmm.
Mmm.
(INHALES)
That's the queen.
Very good.
(CHUCKLING)
Is it you?
(LAUGHING)
Hilarious.
"Listen, well, I got f***ed
in the ass by a bear, honey."
So, you know,
just, "That's it.
"I'm going to get
myself a machine gun."
And he goes out the next
morning, cranks it up, and...
"There he is!"
Starts blasting away,
and the bear says,
"Come here, you."
Takes that old boy,
slams him over the log,
pulls down them old
chonies and says, "Hey.
"You don't come here for
the hunting, do you?"
(ALL LAUGHING)
(SIGHS)
(CHUCKLES)
Hey, your brother... Daniel?
Your brother,
he was hanging out
with the girls today.
Again.
I think you best keep
Right?
Not our job to mind him.
Is it?
NORMAN:
We ain't goingto stand for it.
You keep him away
from them girls,
or we will.
Hey, Norm.
And you know that'll get ugly.
Hey, y'all mind
cutting the bullshit, please?
Daniel.
He's just being
told the truth is all.
Well, no one's going to
do anything to Jeremy,
all right, Coach?
BIC:
Ain't youoff duty, John?
You got a beer in
your hand, right?
Okay.
The law isn't
ever off duty, Bic.
Is it, Sheriff?
Beer or no beer.
BIC:
Hey, I didn't evenvote for his ass.
If he so much as
comes near my daughter...
Look, my brother...
God may help him, I...
Coach, if my brother,
if he ever makes
a mistake again...
Yeah.
I'll put him away myself.
You have my word,
all right?
But until then,
goddamn, y'all...
I mean,
just let him be.
He ain't doing
nobody no harm.
Sounds good to me.
How about you, Coach?
Thought you was off duty.
# What you drinking?
Rum or whiskey?
# Now, won't you have a
# Double with me?
(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)
# We were mysterious
# And you were always
wearing black #
All right, that's enough,
Norm. Let's go.
(HORN HONKING)
(AMY GASPS)
All right, girl!
Looking good, Amy!
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
BIC:
Sweet ass!Ladder, Norm.
BIC:
Who would yourather have sex with,
Hank Williams
or Johnny Cash?
Only you, Bic.
Give me one of those
one-by-fours
laying over there.
Guys. Guys.
Here she comes.
Hey, Charlie.
How about that, huh?
BIC:
How about it?Mmm, mmm, mmm!
# I'm out of money,
I'm out of hope
# It looks like
self-destruction
# Well, how much more
can we take
# With all of this corruption?
# Been flirtin' with disaster
# Y'all know what I mean
# And the way
we run our lives #
(DOOR OPENS)
Hey.
Hey.
No, Flutie, get down.
Come on, get down, get down.
(WATER RUNNING)
Taking a break?
Look at this.
The nation's at war.
Fortune 500 companies
are going bankrupt.
The lead story is that
the first game of high school
football season
is a week away.
Blackwater...
Well, you know,
Blackwater's not at war.
Although it was a big deal
when John Burke
came back from Iraq.
You and Deputy Burke,
returning heroes.
In this town,
heroes come from one place,
that football field.
Like the guys
fixing our roof.
Bunch of straw dogs.
Straw dogs?
Yeah, in ancient
Chinese rituals,
dogs made of straw
