of the...

You know what debt is?

Yeah.

I just got more of it.

This is the last of it.

Is it worth it?

It has to be.

Yeah.

Ready to show momma?

Just don't tell

her what it cost.

Look at what your

son brought you.

Is that Robbie?

That's Robbie.

Using that baby

to get handouts.

Vultures.

Yo!

Ernest!

Ernest!

Hey it's me, it's Robbie!

Special occasion, Ernest?

My well finally ran dry.

Condolences.

Pray for rain.

Pray for rain.

Stop!

Water for the baby!

Stop!

It's alright, baby.

Come here.

You could adopt

us both, Ernest.

I'd take you if I

could feed you, sooz.

Robbie thinks we

should sell the baby.

Tastes like lemons,

but smells like sh*t.

What's that, Robbie?

He says your sister tastes like

lemons, but smells like sh*t.

And that's a shh...

Who said that?

Uh, your sister's boyfriend.

Hey, Robbie, you need

to take your baby to see

Dr. coles, okay?

Tell him I'll pay

for it when I can.

Gotcha.

Look, I don't want you

bringing sooz and the baby

out here, using

them as bait.

Okay?

And no bullshit about

selling that baby.

You need water,

you come see me.

Okay.

Hey Jerome boy.

You just tell your sister

Mary I like lemons.

So that's where all

the money goes.

I need to borrow

that machine.

What for?

You two boxed me

out of that auction.

That's a cheat.

Well, you should talk to

your father about that.

He sold it to me.

If you ain't borrowing it

out, I need to rent it.

When about?

Right now. How much?

You okay?

What's going on with you?

I just need the machine.

Alright.

I tell you what.

You get your father to

guarantee you I'll let you

use it whenever

you want for free.

Except the days

we're using it.

You can radio him from

the ten meter right now.

What, you don't trust me?

What if I buy you

a couple of drinks?

You always help everyone

else around here.

What you got for me?

Sympathy.

It's getting late.

I'm gonna wish you

well, Flemming.

I would've been happy

to help you out.

Let's see you ride away now.

Let me run your route.

I can talk to Caleb

and those men.

You can apply for the job,

just like anybody else.

You don't have what it takes

to convince those watermen

to irrigate this land.

Your kids know what

you did to your wife?

F***in' drunk.

Nthe surgeon general has issued a

statement about fertility

rates in urban cities

dropping for the

seventh year in a row.

What we believed was a

social correlation between

urbanites is now a proven

biological, though we don't

yet know all of the factors.

It is not that...

I'd like to talk to

you about an offer.

See if I can get you to run

that water line out my way.

Come on.

I'll miss this water well.

What'd they say?

Uhh.

Well when it rains,

they'll see what we have.

When it rains...

Eh, it's just this

dust in my throat.

Don't worry

about me, Ernest.

I want you to have it.

I never worry about you.

I worry about your sister.

I worry about Mary's

life, not yours.

On a prayer, if any deer or

elk looking for water

tonight, they'll stray

through here, snip out the

pump, fall through

the plastic, and bam.

Catch 'em in this trap!

Think how good

that'll taste, right?

Bring me some scraps.

Did I tell you I think

I met a girl you'd like?

Last time I

crossed the border?

Yeah?

Yeah.

She might be a bit

older than you.

That a problem?

I told this one about you.

Her eyes went all...

Mmm.

Yeah.

I get hunches

on these things.

I don't think I

have time for women.

You're too busy for women?

You too busy for friends?

I don't see

much of them around.

There's plenty

of kids out here.

What about your friends?

I had 'em.

I had 'em.

Long as I don't get on your

nerves, I prefer to hang out

with you.

Sh*t!

Trap works.

Little help?

Thanks.

Woah!

Show me!

Keep your hands up.

Ooh!

Good!

Good!

Good, that...

Ragh!

Yeah, that's all I'm saying.

You don't gotta marry her.

You don't want to wait around

thinking something's gonna come.

Waiting's a f***ing disese.

Think something,

feel something?

You should do something!

Alright?

What's she like?

Well, she's got ears that

poke through her hair.

If you waste your time talking

to people who don't listen to

the things that you are saying,

who do you think's gonna hear?

And if you should die explaining how

the things that they complain about

are things they could be changing,

who do you think's gonna care?

There were other lonely singers

in a world turned deaf and blind

who were...

I don't want you seeing that

boy Flemming, and I don't

want any more lies.

I could walk

right out of here.

You can't keep me.

No I can't.

But I don't, 'cause

you're making me a liar!

The lying is up to you.

Maybe I want a secret.

Whatever you're angry about,

you're angry at yourself.

Maybe you're

right about that.

I know I'm right.

Flem says failures

give the most advice.

Is that what you think?

I don't know anymore.

Well even if that's true,

it's not going to change how

things are in this house.

If you're here, you

gotta stay here.

Why punish me

for being happy?

It's not punishment,

it's protection.

But it makes me hate you!

Do you feel anything

when I say that?

I hate you!

I love him!

What's wrong?

What happened?

What happened?

I need money!

I'm leaving!

Get away from me!

Give it back to him.

She didn't ask for it.

Give it back to him!

She, she didn't...

You're not going anywhere!

Shh.

I hate you!

What am I supposed to do?

I need him!

Look at our lives!

You failed us!

You failed your family!

Oh no.

The machine!

It's gone!

What did my boy do now?

Nothing, Sam.

I just wanted to finish a

conversation he and I had started.

You have any luck

with that pipeline?

Nah.

Don't have much

to offer him.

I'm trying to

keep my distance.

Well, that's fallow anyway.

Don't know what's

left of it.

All's is.

I guess I mean to

say it's infertile.

Even if the water comes, I'd

still be stuck running these

bird races and auctions

and what have you.

Don't think Flemming

knows it's dead.

You think he'd work it?

Don't know.

He's obsessed with the land

we've lost, not with the

land we have left.

You know how Flemming

spends his days?

He's got his

self work places.

He went up to the

mountain this morning.

Really?

Says he's on a supply

detail for the water works.

I don't know what that pays.

He come back already?

He took my truck.

Check over the Ridge!

I see him, he's

right below you!

Where?

I see you you son of a b*tch!

Agh!

That's that.

You find those supplies!

Wakey wakey!

Where's that machine of his?

F***ing wake up!

Get up!

Do you think we're stupid?

I talked to you about what

those supplies are worth on

the black market, and then you

had that machine take everything!

And a day's work gone.

Gone, god damn it!

Where are those supplies?

I didn't take anything.

You know it's a federal, a

god damned federal crime!

F*** you!

Caleb, I never
