peace and brotherhood

around here.

For this, we are

sincerely grateful.

Let us say a prayer.

That this piece of land,

small as it may be, can be

more than a symbol.

That it can stand cultivated

as it once was by our dearly

departed Ernest holm, whose

perseverance held that this

land, fertile, could

flourish once again.

And let his children

reap its reward.

Already.

Everything.

It's so beautiful.

It's almost a shame

to harvest it.

What'd your father

say about all this?

Probably wouldn't

say anything.

Yeah.

But he'd probably be

thinking you're alright.

Really?

Flem, you ride on back.

I'll see you when

we're through.

Why are you talking

about my land?

It's not your land, boy.

My wife, my land.

Not her land neither.

It belongs to the bank.

Now you ride on back, I'll

come after and we'll talk

about it.

No, we'll talk now.

Boy, this is adult

business now.

God damn it Flemming!

The explanation

is not important!

What is important is that

the land is held by the

bank.

Ernest's farm's been in

foreclosure for years.

He just never moved off and

nobody wanted to buy it.

Now with the water, they

might, and you should be

damn pleased if they do.

How much does he owe?

More money than you

can hope to raise.

Now listen...

What does he

owe, god damn it?

Flemming, you be a man now.

How much?

Go talk to the bank.

Sorry about that doctor.

Just a local boy.

Very passionate about the

history of these plots.

Flem?

Hey, let me help you.

What?

I said let me help.

- don't worry.

I got it.

Where are you

taking the machine?

I need to go to

the mountains.

Come on.

I found somebody to

tell us what it's worth.

Flem and Mary are going to

sell their baby when it's born.

They need our help to find

out what they can get for it.

Okay.

Wrap the baby in a

blanket and hurry back.

He keeps changing his

mind, but he said yes.

It's too late for

second thoughts.

I've already got

a buyer lined up.

Send him out here.

Why'd they give

you that money?

I thought we were just here

to find out what it was worth.

Oh, they just...

Just want to

talk to you pal.

What's up, what's up?

Listen here.

I don't want any

kind of trouble.

I don't care if you're

getting cold feet.

The deal is done and these

men are taking that baby.

What are you talking about?

No!

Flem! Flem!

Robbie, I'm sorry!

Raagh!

Shoot him too!

Flem!

Flem!

Bank ain't never

kicking us off.

Come on, this is

a hoorah, stud.

Give me something.

I just saved the farm.

Who'd you sell the sim to?

Robbie, of course.

Aren't you happy?

You hated that damn thing.

Come on

down, we love cheetahs.

X marks the spot on the

four, so come on down and

see coco, lazy and

me, Calvin hoyman.

Where the vehicles vary, but

the deals are all the same.

This is Calvin hoyman,

calling from Calvin hoyman

auto works.

I'm trying to reach

Ernest holm, over.

This

is his son Jerome, over.

Well, I'm standing here in

sunny, beautiful overbluff

with your simulit shadow.

I don't know how you lost

it, but its default settings

sent it back to me, over.

We have the finest birds from

California to New York city!

Ladies and gentlemen, is

your money on the table?

The betting is now closed.

You don't play,

you can't win!

Want to live a life

of ease and luxury?

I'm your man!

Three, two, one, let em go!

Jesus, sooz.

Why are you doing this?

Robbie said to, until he got back,

so nobody'd ask any questions.

Come on.

Flem?

The f*** you doing here?

A-a call came in on the cb.

They said that...

Yeah, I'm gonna run sooz home.

The baby's got a fever.

What was all that about the

cb call down at the bird

race today?

Um...

I, I was just thining

about the sim.

I don't want Robbie to hit

her or break her up for

spare parts or something.

What do you care?

Robbie's long gone

with that menace.

Don't you listen

when we talk?

Who cares what

he does with it?

That junker caused nothing

but grief in this house.

I don't want to hear another

word, too, on the subject.

Who's calling on the cb?

At the hospital.

Mama wanted me to visit her,

so I came down to see if you

could give me a ride.

Well, the bus to

Quincy's running again.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing.

Sort of like what goes on

in your head these days.

That's a fine idea.

Get you off your heels,

you're going to report back

where all that money

we spend on her goes.

All unattended baggage

will be removed and destroyed.

No unlicensed fruits,

vegetables or livestock

allowed across the border.

Get your versapasses out!

Come on! Come on!

I can't read that when

it's in your pocket!

Get your versapass out...

Versapasses only!

Keep it moving forward!

Get your versapasses out!

Versapasses out!

- Are you a minor?

- What?

- How old are you?

- 14 and a half, sir.

With your parents?

Do you got a guardian?

Better head back to

whichever way you came, you

got it?

You gotta be 18 to enter

the real world alone, boy.

You can't be in this line.

Now move it!

Get your versapasses out!

You heard me!

Hey.

I can get you across

for a throwaway price.

You want the round trip, so

it's 100 each way plus 50

for the cell phone.

Once we start moving,

sit tight and be silent.

You'll know when we're across

'cause the road gets smooth.

If there's something

wrong, press send on this.

And it really works?

Picks up a signal

here sometimes.

It'll definitely work

once we're across.

Shh!

Hello?

Sorry.

I was just seeing

if it worked.

Okay, well hang up.

Wait, I wanted

to know something.

What?

Just in case it's loud

or we get separated or...

What do you want

to know, kid?

Just your name.

Anna.

I'm Jerome.

Just in case we need to

find each other or it's loud

where we end up.

Okay, that's all. Bye.

Hello?

Hello?

Are you listening to me?

What?

I said yes.

Yes?

Yes.

Yes what?

Yes, we're settlers.

Oh.

I don't have horns,

but I do bite.

Rrgh!

Come on, kid.

So you're stuck

in those camps?

Do I look stuck?

We fight to get

our land back.

There's nothing

stuck about that.

I don't have my gun on

me, but I've got one.

I've got a dualie rifle.

Slam.

I have. 45.

I share it with a

few people though.

Hm. Mine's my father's.

You kill anyone?

No.

You?

A goat.

Sort of.

But we ate it, so...

I've seen people killed.

Me too.

Do you dream about them?

No.

Good.

I'm f***ing haunted.

"Where the vehicles vary,

but the deals are all the same!"

Well...

Keep that hundred.

The whole round

trip thing's a scam.

What do you mean?

To cross back over.

It's a scam.

You don't need to call us.

Just walk right through.

The border guards

won't stop you.

They don't care

you're going back.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay.

Hey, real quick.

What?

You ever meet a

man named Ernest?

Ernest?

You know, like a guy.

Not like an old man.

Ernest...

Ernest holm.

Mm... I don't know.

I meet a lot of people.

I don't.

Ernest holm...
