Straw Dogs Page #3

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!

# Gimme three steps, mister

# Gimme three steps, mister

# Gimme three steps

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.

You're right about 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

learn chess to please me.

(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

a closer watch on him.

Right?

Not our job to mind him.

Is it?

NORMAN:
We ain't going

to stand for it.

You keep him away

from them girls,

or we will.

Hey, Norm.

And you know that'll get ugly.

I'm standing right here.

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 you

off 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 even

vote 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.

(NEVER FORGET YOU PLAYING)

# 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 you

rather 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
