Why in the blue perfect hell...

Did that dirt had to get loose up there
just when we getting deep?

Ain't that something?

Hey, Pa...

I'm getting kinda tired
digging this hole.

Can't we start a new one?

What for?

What do you mean, what for?

We've been digging in this one
for two months already, Pa.

We ain't struck nothing yet
but a lot of hard work.

Son, I've been digging in this land
for close to 15 years

and I'm aiming to dig 15 more,
if need be.

Trouble with you boys is that you ain't
found the patience that I've got.

We don't need no patience.
What we need is a diviner!

There you go again,
talking superstition.

All you talk about is diviners
and conjurers and stuff like that.

Son, that ain't a thing in the world
but superstition.

Now you take me...
I'm scientific.

If you're so scientific, Pa,

Why don't you get us a digging machine
and get the job done.

I ain't gonna buy nothing
that costs money. I can't afford it.

Where you going, son?

Oh, I'm quitting for today, Pa.

I'm gonna wash up and go to town.

Never get rich that way.

Oh, Pa, I don't aim to get rich.

I'm too young.

I'm worried about that boy.

Who's he gonna see in town?

Oh, he ain't particular.
Anything with skirts on.

He ain't used to women yet,
they can do him harm!

He won't know about it until it's
too late to stop the clock.

Hey! I brought you men
some nice cool lemonade.

Why I thank you, daughter in law!

What you got for dinner, honey?

Same as yesterday, Buck.
Bacon fat and grits.

I'd like me some fried chicken.

When a man has a wife like Griselda,

I don't know how he can keep
his mind on food all the time.

Now quit your teasing, Ty Ty.

Now if the good Lord seen fit
to put a beauty like you in our house,

I'm gonna take my fill of looking
while I can.

Son, you don't know how lucky you are!

How am I lucky?

Cause I got a wife who don't love me?

What you two lovebirds got
to argue about?

I never argue with Buck...

No, she hardly talks to me anymore.

Too busy daydreaming
about Will Thompson.

If you'd quit throwing
his name up to me,

maybe I'd get a chance to forget him!

All Will has to do is snap his fingers
and you go running!

You keep on this way, Buck,

and you'll wake up some fine morning
all by your lonesome!

You don't mean that, Griselda.

You tell Buck you don't mean that.

You tell him I don't wanna hear him
mention Will Thompson again!

Sure don't know how to talk to a woman.

Griselda ain't just another woman.
She's seen fit to marry you.

And you think that's all you had to do
to keep her happy forever.

I know what the trouble is.
She's still thinking of Will.

- Good morning, Pluto.
- Good morning, Miss Griselda.

Hey, howdy, Charlie.
Good morning to you too.

He's a cute little fella, ain't he?
Where's Ty Ty at?

He's right down there, in that big hole.

Thank you. Sure is hot, huh?

Ty Ty!

Which one of these holes you in?

Right here, Pluto!

Hell, that ain't much
of a neighborly greeting.

Hey, how you boys making out?
You strike anything lately?

No, nothing much, Pluto.

We will pretty soon.

I just know it. I feel it in my bones.

Oh... so do I.

What you folks looking for?

You been comin' here nearly a year

and you seen me digging

and you didn't know
what I was digging for?!

I figured you're looking for water.

Water!

Pluto, you...

you think I've gone
clean out of my head?

I'm digging for gold!

Gold? In the state of Georgia?

Bright yellow gold!

Gold coins...

big around as a biscuit.
Thousands of them!

Is that a fact?

Yeah, gold spoons, gold plates...

gold forks, and... and...

gold thunder mugs
I shouldn't be surprised.

You've seen them? For a fact?

- Almost...
- Where?

Don't know exactly...

Can't find these things.

They're there...
They're there...

My grandpa told me about it.

He willed it to me the very day he died.

Maybe he might've been mistaken.

Making my dead grandpa out to be a liar!

Oh no, I wouldn't do nothing like that!

If there's anything in the world
I can't stand, it's a liar!

You gotta admit you ain't
found no gold yet.

What you folks need is a albino
to help you out.

Why they tell me a man ain't got
as much chance as a snowball in hell

without an albino
to help him find something.

A what?

A albino!

What in the blue perfect hell
is that, Pluto?

It's one of these all-white men.

Looks like they made out of chalk.
White as cotton.

Got white hair, white skin.
White eyeballs even.

You fellas need one.
Need him bad!

Now Pluto, I'm scientific
all the way through.

I wouldn't have nothing to do
with conjure.

But I ain't talking about
no conjure, Ty Ty.

I'm talking about a albino!

Why, they got a secret power.

They can see right through the ground!

Like it was a glass of water.

Strictly scientific.

You got me convinced...

You got me convinced!
Where's he at?

Well, where do you expect him to be?
Down by the swamp.

Well let's go! Come on!

A real honest to God albino?

Real as the day is long!

You think we can catch him?

Don't you worry none about that!

If we can't hold him
we'll let a plough line do the trick.

Now don't forget. This albino
is a citizen and a voter.

You tie him up, be sure
you don't do nothing to break the law.

But if you do, mention me out.

Because as the future sheriff
of this county..

Just how big a man is he?

Well it's not how big he is that counts.

It's the whiteness of him!
His blood is white.

The wax in his ears is white!

By God, I'm gonna get that old white man
if I have to bust a gut getting him.

Buck, you get up in the house.
Fix the automobile for a little trip.

Make sure the tires is pumped up
hard and tight

and there's plenty of water
in the radiator.

It's gonna be ten-twelve hours
before we get back.

Sure grateful to you for that
scientific suggestion about the albino.

I'm growing mighty tired of
diggin' in weather like this.

I sure am grateful

you came by today, Pluto. Yes, sir!

You opened my eyes
to what I've been missing.

An albino to show me
exactly where that gold is buried!

White-haired boy can do it, can't he?
Just like you said?

Why, sure he can!

An albino, I reckon,
can find most anything!

Why, he might just walk out
into that field right there...

look right down through the ground
and see where all that gold is buried.

Right there?

Anywhere.

Ty Ty! What the devil you doing?

Is that where your grandpa's buried?

No, it's God's little acre!

Put this cross here to mark the spot.

Been here 27 years.

Must be grown into the...
into the ground.

God's little acre?

That's right.

The day I was married, I promised this
piece of land to the holiness church.

Everything that grows here,
they can have.

Cotton, corn...

anything else.

Well, if that ground's so sacred,
why did you take the cross out for?

Cause it just occurred to me, Pluto...

I never had dug a hole
in God's little acre.

Not in all these years.

But suppose like you said, that albino
walks out on my farm

and points to that land there.

Suppose the gold's buried
right in that lot?

Been there all the time...

I'd be compelled by my conscience
to give that gold away to the preacher.

Or worse yet, maybe I wouldn't
give nothing.

You never can tell.

I'm a religious man, but...

I wouldn't stand for that.

Well, what are you gonna do with it?

I'm gonna move God's little acre

to a spot where it don't stand out
in the open

as a sin and a temptation.

God,

please forgive me.

I had to move your little acre.

Just had to.

Put myself out of temptation.

If I'd found gold way up there, I'd...

been sorely tempted not to
turn it over to you.

You wouldn't want me in temptation,
I know that.

I don't mean to cheat you none.

Oh no, I don't.

You can have anything that grows on
this piece of ground.

Flowers or honey...

anything else.

Daughter in law,

is that watermelon cool and ripe...

and ready to eat?

Sure is, Pa.

Boys,

let's all go in the house and get
some of that nice cool watermelon.

Come on, Pluto.

I can't, Ty Ty.

There's a whole mess of votes
between here and the crossroads,

I just gotta get them counted
before sundown.

You're gonna kill yourself
running for sheriff, Pluto.

It ain't worth it. Come on!

Ty Ty, there's something
I wanna talk to you about,

been pressing on my mind.

Just what did you want
to talk to me about, Pluto?

Well, it's about your girl, sir.

Which one?

I got three. All beautiful.

The glory of the world!

Oh, I agree to that, sir.

Pluto Swint, you know something?

Your eyes look just like
watermelon seeds.

Now, is this so?

I can't help it, Mr. Swint.

Your eyes are so small
and your face is so red,

that you do, you look exactly like
a watermelon with two seeds showing.

Now, Pluto,

about my girl...

Rosamond.

She lives in Peace Tree Valley.

It's too far away to do you any good.

And she's married, besides,
to Will Thompson.

Then there's Griselda.

Course she's married too.

I sometimes wonder if Buck
is a right and proper husband

for a girl as beautiful as Griselda.

Even if he is my own flesh and blood.

So...

that leaves my baby, Darling Jill.

But she's too young to go courtin'.

I don't wanna court her...

I wanna marry her.

You would, Pluto?

You mean it?

I'd cut off my right arm to marry her.

You taking a liking to her, Pluto?

I sure to God have, and that's a fact.

Only there's...
one thing that kinda bothers me.

What's that?

Well, I heard...

she been teasing and fooling around
with a lot of men.

I heard...

Why I'm tickled to death to hear that!

Darling Jill is the baby of the family

and she's grown up at last!

She sure has...

It's a pity God can't make a woman like
Darling Jill

and leave off before He goes too far.

He just didn't know when he made enough
of a good thing

and just kept on, and on...

And now, look at her!

Pay it no mind, Pluto.

Darling Jill likes to tease some,

that's only natural.

The way I see it,

a woman's got to tease some before
they settle down to bed and babies.

It's a lot better they do it now
than after they get married.

She'll change, Pluto. And it's up to you
to satisfy her and make her so happy,

that she'll leave off
with everybody but you!

Hey, Pa. You know, the car's all ready.
Why don't we just go, Pa?

We're waiting for Darling Jill.

Oh, Pa, Darling Jill
won't get back until

she rides old Pluto's truck
in some ditch.

It's 12 hours to that swamp and back.
What I'd like to do is,

get that albino, and get back here
so I could go to town.

Son,

I'm mighty proud to hear you say
you wanna be up and doin'.

Too many people in this world

just wanna sit around on their butts
and wait for the corn to grow.

Well not me, and not my sons.

We're in a hurry to get rich.

Get in the car, Shaw.

Pluto, I wanna ask you a favor.

Why, I can't do no favors
without my car.

Darling Jill is gonna bring
your car back, you know that.

And when she does,

I want you to drive her
to Peach Tree Valley.

What about me, Pa?

I wanna go too.

I don't wanna hang around
here everlastingly,

waiting for something to happen.

You stay here.

I'll go if I please to go.

Can't wait to see Will again, can ya?

What'd I just get through
telling you, Bud?

She goes to see Will Thompson

over my dead body!

I want you to stay here, Griselda
and cook us a mess of food

and wait for us to come back.

You tell Darling Jill to go
to Peach Tree Valley

and get Rosamond and her husband Will

and come back to the farm
where she was born.

I want my whole family together
when we turn that albino loose

and locate my grandpa's gold
and make us all rich again.

Will you help me, Pluto?

I reckon I can,
if you'll let me be your son in law.

That ain't up to me, Pluto.
That ain't even up to Darling Jill.

That's up to you.

Get the car going, Buck.

I'm not going til she
promises to stay here!

I'm not promising anything!

Now, Buck...

Why don't you use your charm, and...

ask her nicely.

Ask her! It won't hurt ya.

I'm asking you to stay, Griselda.

You askin' me or tellin' me?

He's asking you.

Let him say it!

I'm asking you, Griselda.

Alright.

I'll stay.

Let's go, Pa.

Don't forget to tell Darling Jill
what I told ya!

Pluto!

Pluto darling!

Hey, you big horse head!

Come here!

Yes, Darling Jill.
I'm coming, Darling Jill.

Stop!

Now close your eyes.

Well..

What do I have to do that for,
Darling Jill?

Cause I say so, you big horse head!

Alright...

Now, come straight ahead.

Over there.

That's it.

Straight ahead.

Your pa been digging any of those holes
around here?

No, I'm watching you.
Don't worry about it.

Okay, come on.
Come on, come on, come on.

Stop! Stop!

Now turn left.

Left, left, you big horse head!
Come on.

Now right.

Now, come on. Straight ahead.

Can I look a little bit?

No, now keep your eyes closed
and come on.

I'm right over here.

It's awfully dark.

Turn left.

Now right!

Now, come straight ahead.

That's not me, Pluto.
That's the pump.

Yeah, that's the pump.

Grab it and pump me
some nice, cool water.

Oh, that's nice!
Oh, yes, that's very nice!

Is that going all over you,
Darling Jill?

Oh, darn my socks!
Darn my socks!

Oh, darn my socks!

That really works.

Next time you darn your socks before
you come a-courtin' me.

You're missin' it!

Darling Jill, I don't even know
what I'm doing here.

This ain't even the right state
for me to get elected,

let alone the right county.

And it's hot!

Darling Jill! Listen!
That's no place to keep keys!

Now, listen to me, will you please!

I don't hear Will anyway.

Good, let's go home.
I'll count some votes.

Will's the kind of man

that he's anywhere around,
you should take notice of him.

Rosamond! What in the world
is the matter with you?

Jill! Darling Jill!

I wasn't expecting you.

What's wrong?

Glad you came.
I thought I was gonna die.

Must've been outta my head a little.

What'd Will do to ya?
Where is he?

Hello, Pluto.

I sure am glad to see you too.

Here, let me take the clothes
off this chair.

You can sit down.
Make yourself to home for.

I've gotta go right home, that's a fact.

Shut up and sit down!

Now, Rosamond, tell me what happened.

You can talk in front of Pluto.
Big horse head...

Now, where's Will?

He's been drunk all week.

Drinks whenever he can.

I wouldn't mind that so much.

It's just that he won't stay home
with me no more.

Sleeps all day, goes out at night.

Oh, it ain't his fault. It's the mill.

It's been closed down now
for six months.

He's got nothing in the world to do.

Well, ain't it ever gonna open again?

No, I reckon not.

They say it don't pay
a dividend no more.

It's bankrupt.

This whole town is bankrupt.

We ought to all just pack up
and move away right now.

All of us.

But we don't...

Everybody looks up to Will.
He won't move.

He says he's gonna open the mill
again somehow.

Only he don't know how.

Well I'm glad I came.

Pa wants you and Will
to come home and help him dig.

He's got a sure way to find
grandpa's gold this time!

Darling Jill!
There ain't no gold on that place.

If there was, don't you think they
would've found it long before now?

Why can't Pa quit digging that land
full of holes

and try to raise corn, or cotton,
or peanuts, like everybody else does.

Well I don't know about that,

but Pa wants you and Will
to come home, Rosamond.

Will?

Will won't dig on no farm.
He's not a farm boy.

Pa would know that by this time.

Besides, I don't even know if
Will's coming home tonight.

Well then, we'll just sit here
and wait for him.

We'll spend the night.

That's a mighty fine idea!
We'll spend the night!

Not quite so fine as all that.

I'm gonna sleep here on the bed
with Rosamond.

And you can make yourself
a pallet on the floor.

Darling Jill, you here?

Stand up, let me look at you
in the light!

Well, well, the baby's
a full grown woman.

Plump as a peach on the branch,

ripe and ready to pluck!

Will! Don't take on that way!

We got company.

Pluto! How you doing, man?

Lookin' bigger and better than ever!

How you, Mr. Thompson?

You sure look like every little thing
is just fine with you.

Well, it ain't!

Where you goin'?

Trying to slip away, were ya?

Ain't that a sneaky thing to do.

Come back here, all of you,
and keep me company.

How's Griselda?

She's still married.

You know, Pluto,

I bought Griselda the first pair of
high heeled shoes she ever wore.

Will, the bed's made.
Why don't you go to sleep?

When Griselda was working in the mill

and she walked around
in them high heeled shoes,

there wasn't a man
got a full day's work done.

Will, please don't talk about it now.

That girl, Griselda.
Pluto, we almost got married.

She wanted me to go root
and grub on a farm.

I wouldn't do it.

I'm a town boy.

I gotta be where I can hear

a factory whistle
blow three times a day.

And watch those crowds of girls
running out of the company gate,

laughing,

an' screaming,

raising Cain,

with faces like flowers.

Will, you gotta realize something,
once and for all.

That mill ain't never gonna open again!

And Griselda's married.

You can't do nothin' about it.

Now come on. Get to bed.

What's done is done.

Now go to sleep.

I can't sleep.

Well you can rest.

Turn out the light so it won't
hurt your eyes.

- Hiya, Harry.
- Hiya, Will.

Who's that come in a car
to your house, Will?

Rosamond's people.

What they come for?

Just... just for a visit.

They ain't come to take you away,
have they, Will?

I promised ya I wouldn't
leave Peach Tree Valley

until they started
the cotton mill again, didn't I?

Yeah, well I know it's easy for you
and Rosamond to pull up stakes.

You've got just the two of ya.
Most of us got big families.

We ain't got the money to find jobs
and houses somewhere else.

You don't have to tell me, Harry.

I know, Will, but we got a little
worried while we were waitin' for ya.

He ain't gonna leave us, boys.

He's gonna stay right in town,
like he said.

Claude!

Claude!

Where are ya, Claude?

- Is that you, Will Thompson?
- Who else?

You drinkin' again?

I wanna get in!

- Why you always comin' here for?
- I wanna get in!

There ain't nothin' here
but a closed down cotton mill.

Now what are you looking for?

You know what I'm looking for, Claude.
I'm looking for the day when

the light shine
through all those windows.

That day is gone, Will.

The mill ain't never gonna
open up again.

The spindles are still threaded.

The power's still connected.

All it takes is for somebody
to pull the switch on.

That's crazy talk, Will.

Now why don't ya go home

before your wife has to
come lookin' for you again.

Don't tell me what to do.

I know what I have to do.

What do you say you go down to Ned's bar

and get yourself a drink?

Here, have it on me.

- Felix.
- Yes, sir.

How's my albino?

He's sleeping like a baby, Mr. Ty Ty.

Mornin', Dave.

You sleep well?

Where am I?

You with friends.

We went to a lot of...
fuss and bother to get you.

Sure hope that

you appreciate it.

I'm hungry.

You'll get your breakfast
in due time, but...

first, you got work to do.

What kind of work?

It's easy. I'll show you.

You take this...

this willow fork

and you hold it like...

like that.

Til she...

pulls you down...

- scientifically speaking -

right down to where the gold is
surely located!

Gold?

You lookin' for gold?

Why do you think we come clean down
to Swamp Corner to lasso you?

I still don't know.

You're a genuine albino, ain't you?

Yeah, I reckon I am.

What would I be doin' with an albino

except to find gold?

I ain't gonna do it.

Why not, son?

Cause I don't know how!

You don't know how?!

You're a genuine albino
and you don't even know...

Let him go, Mr. Ty Ty.

Let him loose, Mr. Ty Ty.

Now you listen to me, son.

If you don't know how to find gold,
you better start learning right now!

Or all these nice folks are gonna be
pretty mad at you

and we won't get no vittles this winter.

I just can't! I can't!

I'm sorry I got angry, son.

But I...

I been diggin' for gold for 15 years

and I ain't gonna give up.

I don't know what to do.

Well, it's easy now.

I'll show ya.

You take this willow stick.

That's it.

Turn your wrists up.

That's right.

Pull it out in front of ya.

You can do it! You can do it!

Open the barn door!
Give the boy room!

It's pulling you

towards the gold!

Give 'im room!

Hurry to find my grandpappy's gold!

I don't think I can stand it
much longer!

That where my grandpa's gold is?!

Come on, Dave! Come on!

Feel it, Dave!

Feel it, Dave!

Come on, Dave.
Follow it, follow it good!

Follow it, boy!

Oh, my grandpappy's gold!

Hidden away down there!

Deep in the ground,
would you believe it!

Under my house all the time!

Buried a hundred years!

Longer than a man can live!

Now I'm about to find it!

Touch it!

Feel it!

Bite into it, if I want to!

Praise the Lord!

Amen.

Now, maybe, Mr. Ty Ty,
you'll stop diggin' and start farmin'.

Now wait a minute!

This is still God's little acre,
ain't it?

And so is the gold.

No, Buck, no.

I can't honestly say it is.

A minute before Dave found the gold
something came over me.

And I decided to change the location
of God's little acre.

Just about in time, I reckon.

Where's it now, Pa?

The Lord ain't told me yet.

- Well tell him to hurry.
- Now, Buck, don't you talk like that.

The good Lord and your pa,

we're old fashioned.

We got to take our time.

Now, God,

I don't aim to cheat you none.
I swear, I don't.

But what with this
unseasonable weather and all

I believe you didn't mind if I have
your acre in a cooler spot.

If you don't like this,

if you don't approve
of what I'm doing, Lord,

then strike me down dead right here
where I stand.

Thank you, Lord.

Glory be.
Amen.

Are we home, Pluto?

No, but we ain't but a mile away.

What are we stoppin' for?

Darling Jill, I just gotta have
an answer.

Take the pins outta my hair...

Will ya?

Oh God almighty, Darling Jill!
I just gotta know!

Don't shout so!
You'll wake Will and Rosamond!

They can't hear nothin'...

I don't know if I'm ready to get married
to anybody yet, Pluto.

Least of all you.

You don't have to be ready,
I'm ready.

I'm ready enough for both of us.

I'd marry you anytime.
Daytime, nighttime, anytime.

I'm so crazy about you,
that's a fact.

Your belly's too big.

Oh, Darling Jill, you don't want a
little thing like that come between us.

Pluto, if your belly weren't so big,
you couldn't be sheriff.

And if you weren't gonna be sheriff,

I don't know if I'd even look at you.
And that's a fact.

Darling Jill, you haven't oughta
tease me like that.

Just because I'm so crazy
in love with you,

I can't hardly see nothin' else

is no reason that someday I just don't
get so riled up and so provoked

that I just gonna take my two hands

and... and just...

And what? What would you do, Pluto?

I'd tan your hide!
I'd tan your hide!

You scared the tar outta me!

For a minute I thought
you was gonna darn your socks again!

I'd tan your hide!

Pa! Where are ya?

Right here!

Oh my goodness! That's the biggest hole
you dug! Did you find anything?

Great Scott!
We're digging like all get out!

We've sunk a hole twenty feet
since this morning!

Fastest diggin' in 15 years!

Welcome home, Rosamond! Will!

Oh, I'm mighty proud you're here
to celebrate our good luck!

Boys, it's Rosamond!

- Hiya, Rosamond.
- Hiya, Rosamond, our sister.

- Hello Buck and Shaw.
- Griselda!

Griselda! The family's here!

Well did you find any of that gold?

Hello, Will.

Hello, Griselda.

It's been a long time.

Real long time.

It's good to see ya.

You look like you just stepped outta
the calendar.

You look like hell, Will,

what you been doing to yourself?

Doin' absolutely nothing, boys.
Absolutely nothing.

Same old lint-head.

What Will needs, Rosamund, is to...

occupy himself with something useful.

You know, Will, there's nothin'
better for a man's body and spirit

than diggin' down in God's good earth.

Rosamond, you go into the house
and help Griselda warm up the eats.

Poor Pluto here,
he's just about starvin'.

I sure am! And that's a fact!

Well come on into the house, Pluto.

You know, nothin' makes a man hungrier
than having his whole family around.

That sure is a tremendous hole you dug!

What's that?

Can it vote?

Dave?

Why that's the old white man
you put me on.

Great guns, Pluto!

That's the albino
we roped from the swamp!

Did it divine for ya?

Just like 4 and 4 makes 8!

Now you go in the house with Rosamond.

Ty Ty, this is absolutely crazy!

You're digging right beside the house,
it's gonna topple over into that hole.

It won't fall down.

We kinda prop it up as we go along.
House falls down, won't matter much.

We strike gold, we'll be rich enough
to build

a house 3 times its size.

What are you lookin' at, Darling Jill?

Well I'm lookin' to see that albino man.

I never seen one before in my life.

Daughter, he's just the same
as you and me.

Can he talk?

He'll talk your arm off,
if you give him half a chance.

I wanna see him just once,
call him up here.

I don't aim to have nobody
fool with him.

You can just walk off and call crows
if that's what you got in mind.

He's got to stay in the job for me
all the time.

Now you come on into the house.

I'm comin', Pa.

Hello there, albino fella.

My name's Dave Dawson.

I sure am pleased to meet ya.

They sure didn't tell any lies
about your color!

Just white, that's for sure.

It's a pretty color too.

I like it.

Thank you, ma'am.

It's the first kind words I've heard

since your pa kidnapped me with
a string of lies and a leather plowline.

Now that I got such a good look at you,

wouldn't you like to come up here
and get a good look at me?

I don't mind.

Well... what do you say?

Why... you're beautiful!

Won't you come on up here
and say that again.

That'll get him shy and scared,
Miss Darling Jill.

He might run away.

I don't feel like chasing him
with my shotgun.

Oh, he won't run away, Uncle Felix.
I promise you that.

Come on, Dave. Come on!

Besides, we're only gonna go watch
the moonrise over the pond.

Come on, Dave. Come on, boy.

Don't you like me?

Why... Gosh almighty...

I just didn't know there was a girl
as pretty as you in the whole country.

I mean, I mean, you're the prettiest
girl I've ever seen.

And you're so soft...

And you talk like a bird song...

And you smell good, too.

I just love the way you talk!

Talk to me some more!

What do you want me to say?

How come you so white all over?

I don... I dunno.

Some people say it's cause I was made
in the light of the moon.

Oh, I just think
you're wonderful looking!

I'm glad you're so different.

I get so tired of the same looking
people every day of my life.

Would you like to kiss me?

I would, if you let me...

I reckon I just couldn't help myself!

Will you marry me?

Now, I only said you could kiss me once.

It was mean of Pa to wrap you up
in that plowline and bring you here.

I'm awfully glad that he did.

I reckon I am too.

You wanna kiss me again?

You bet I do.

How come they call ya Darling Jill?

Well, my name's Jill.

And when I was little,
everybody said that I was darling.

So they called me Darling Jill.

That's the perfect name for you, too.

I couldn't think of a better name
for you.

Pluto! What's the matter, Pluto?

You left all them good hominy grits
on the table!

I'm worried, Ty Ty.
Where's Darling Jill?

She was right here a minute...

Gone?

My albino's gone!

Uncle Felix is gone!

Now you got me worried!

Where do you think she is, Ty Ty?
Think she fell into one of these holes?

Don't worry. We'll find her.

I can't help it.

They been gone more than half an hour.

Oh, an awful lot can happen
in a half an hour!

Just like what?

Well, like one thing...

I dunno...

And another thing, maybe they just took
off to another county and got married.

Now ya got me really worried.

That Darling Jill is crazy enough
to do anything.

Darling Jill!

Darling Jill, come home!

Supper's waitin'!

I'm waitin'!
Aah!

Ty Ty, help!

Where are ya?

I'm down in a hole!

Which hole you in?

This very deep one!

- You got me, Ty Ty?
- I got you, Pluto. Come on!

Ty Ty, why must you make these holes
so deep?

Darling Jill!

Dave!

Where are ya?

I knew it!

Just knew it!

My white haired boy's gone!

Took off and went lickety-split to home!

Darling Jill,
don't run away to that swamp!

Well dog my cats...

Did you find them? Well? Did you?

Well, Pluto,

in this pale moonlight

ya can't see a thing.

Seems to me like these boys
would have more sense

than to let Ty Ty egg 'em into digging
empty holes in the ground.

- You're nothing but a lousy lint-head!
- Yeah, a lousy lint-head!

There ain't no more gold in that ground
than there is in the toes of my socks.

Why don't you boys wise up
and go to Atlanta or Augusta somewhere,

and get yourself a job that
pays somethin' Saturday night.

Why don't ya soak your head
in a gin bottle!

Now stop it, Buck!

You too, Will!

Why don't ya go back where ya come from,
ya lint-head!

I'll go back when I'm good an' ready.

Why don't ya try and make me go?

- We'll make ya!
- We'll make ya, lint-head!

Ty Ty!

Drop that shovel, Buck!

You too, Shaw!

All you lousy farm boys think
you're tough, huh?

What in the blue perfect hell
is going on down there?!

Stop that! Stop that fightin',
you hear me?

I won't have no fightin' on my land!

Stop it!

By God!

Stop that!

Stop that fightin'!

What's the matter with you two?

What in the blue perfect hell
you two got to fight about?

I told ya there's gonna be plenty of
gold for all of us.

Pa, we wasn't fightin' about the gold!

It's the way he acts and talks like he's
better than we are!

Every time he comes over here,
that lint-head invites a beatin'.

Boys, it's a shame we can't keep
a peaceful family.

That's what I've been aimin'
all my life to have.

And if I can't have it, I swear
I'm gonna leave that gold where it is

and go back to grubbin' cotton.

And you tell him to stop tom-cattin'
around my wife!

Griselda in this?

I didn't say a word about her.

No, he don't say nothin'.

He just looks.

And that's plenty.

Looks don't hurt anybody, Buck.

He's gettin' ready to start something,
I know that much.

You bet I am!

Griselda! You get in the house.

Now, Buck,

that's just your imagination.

Will ain't after Griselda.

Are you, Will?

I ain't made up my mind about that yet.

I'll kill him!

You're not gonna kill nobody!

Not on my land or anyplace else!

Now you get up on the ground
and cool off!

Get all heated up down in this hole

takes fresh air to get it out of ya!

Now go on! Go on up to the house!
Go on, Shaw!

Tell him to go home!

Yeah, Pa, tell him to go home.

That Buck's right, I oughta go home.

I hope you don't mean that, Will.

Now I found the right spot,
I'm gonna need all the help I can get.

Right spot! The house's gonna topple
right into this hole if you dig anymore.

I gotta go home.
I gotta get that mill started.

That ain't what you're thinking about.

You're thinking about Griselda.

It ain't no sin to think.

Will! You're gonna kill yourself

if you go on that way.

Hot night...

Yeah, it's hot.

I couldn't sleep.

I couldn't sleep either.

Guess we did the right thing...

busting up.

I guess so.

Oh no, don't come any closer!

I just wanted to touch you, Griselda.

Just feel the touch of you.

It won't stop there...

I just know it won't.

Are you sure you divined the gold
in just the right place?

Well, you saw the willow pointing down,
didn't you?

That's right.

Willow don't lie...

Why should it?

Pure scientific.

Mr. Ty Ty, you oughta be out
raising cotton.

You a good farmer.
That is, you used to be.

Now Mr. Ty Ty, you can raise more cotton
on this land in one season

than you can find gold
in a whole lifetime.

It's a waste of everything, Mr. Ty Ty,
digging them holes all over the place.

I wish I had spent a little more time
with the cotton, for sure.

If I had 20 or 30 bales to tide
me over the fall and winter,

I could devote all the rest
of my time to diggin'!

But Mr. Ty Ty, where we gonna get
enough grub

to carry us through another winter?

We use my credit,
like I did last winter!

The store man says you ain't got
enough credit left

to grease the end of your nose.

Felix, I'm sorry about that.
But there's nothing I can do!

I just got to go on diggin'!

I got the fever!
You can't stop the fever!

Well, Mr. Ty Ty,

if it's as bad as all that,

why don't ya go to Augusta and

borrow some money
from your son, Jim Leslie?

Oh, there wouldn't be no sense in that!

Why not, Mr. Ty Ty?
I hear tell he's rich.

Anyhow, I ain't never heard of
a cotton broker who's poor.

All the same,
he wouldn't help me none, Felix.

My son, Jim Leslie, won't
speak to me on the street!

And if he won't speak to me
on the street,

I know darn well
he won't lend me money!

You're his pappy,

ain't you, Mr. Ty Ty?

I reckon so.

Jim Leslie ain't been a bad man.

He been a good one.

In fact, he's practically a stranger.

And that's wrong!

I oughta go see him just
to keep the family ties together!

But I can't, Felix!

But Mr. Ty Ty, you just gotta get
some money real quick.

Or else how you gonna keep
us all on the farm?

Why we'll all have to go someplace else
to work to make a living.

- Felix?
- Yes, Mr. Ty Ty?

I just got a wonderful idea.

I'm gonna call on Jim Leslie.

You know, he's my son.

He's a rich man!

He's a cotton broker!

And no son of mine's gonna stand by
and let his kin go hungry!

Felix, now you watch good over Dave.
Ya hear me?

I hear you, Mr. Ty Ty!

Buck!

Shaw!

Get the car ready!

We're going to Atlanta! Hurry up!

Hey, now, what are you doing?

Now you don't reckon I'm gonna
run away from here...

I never been so happy
in all my born days!

Now, son, you get up from there
and get going.

I don't have to do what you say.

It ain't me that's talkin', boy.
It's this gun.

Now you get up and get going.
And head straight for your home.

Back to the swamp!

Hey, now, you ain't gonna shoot me,
are you, now?

I ain't gonna shoot nobody, son.
But this gun might.

But Felix, I don't wanna go!

I'm sorry, son, but you gotta go.

It's the only way I know
how to save this farm.

Now you, get goin'!

That's Jim Leslie's alright!

Sure as God made little apples.

Well, we're inside.

He can't throw us out now,

before I tell him what we're after.

Did you ever see such pretty things
in all your life, Griselda?

Don't touch anything, Darling Jill.

Everything looks so shiny!

Looks like it's got goose grease
on it somehow.

So clean!

Just clean and clean,
everything...

Jim Leslie lives in fine style, alright.

I'm mighty proud of the way my boy
has made his way in the world.

Oh, that's purty!

Big as a window sash!

Almost as beautiful as them
new Coca Cola signs

they're putting on the highway
coming into Georgia.

Oh brother,

the time and patience it must'a took
to do that!

Look at those leaves on the trees...
Almost like real!

I dunno.
What do they need a picture for?

Spend a half dollar in gasoline,

drive into the woods
and see the real thing now couldn't you?

Now you done it.

Probably worth more money
than we were gonna borrow!

Suppose Jim Leslie gets here...

Evenin', son.

What are you doing here?

Well, now, son,

you know you're pleased to see us.

Don't put on that you're not.

Funny, I didn't hear any...

doorbell.

We don't ring no bells in my family.

We just walk in.

That's the way we do it in my family.
We're never gonna do any different.

Nobody has to knock on my door,

or ring no fancy bells
to get in the house.

Pa, why'd you come here for?

Well... it's important, son.

Money, I suppose?

Well, why don't ya dig it
out of the ground?

Is that a nice way to talk
to your only dad?

Well that's what you came here for,
isn't it - money? Well, isn't it?

No.

No, not at all...

All I need is a way

to buy feed and seed
for my sharecroppers.

So's I can dig down another twenty feet

and locate my grandpa's gold.

Well there's no gold there!

You know that!
You know it as well as I do!

You ought to! You've been digging
for 15 years!

You'll be digging holes on
the day you die!

Alright, there's the money.
Now take it and go on home!

Somethin' got into you, Jim Leslie...

at an early age.

You're different from the rest of us.

I don't know why.

You act like you're ashamed of me.

Why, I don't see how that can be
because I'm your father.

Why, you take on like you don't know
who I am or where you're from.

Well I'm sorry for you, son.

You married a widow...

not because you loved her,
just had to have her.

Not because you got caught with
the bases loaded by her pa.

No, you got married just to get you
a house and a fortune!

Well your wife's dead now.

And all you got left is a...

house full of...

breakable dishes!

Well, son,

I guess we better be going.

Pa, why don't ya...
fix yourself a drink.

I don't take a drink, son.

Well there's some fresh fruit
in the dining room.

Why don't you go on and help yourself.

I don't mind if I do.

Well, you too, Darling Jill, Griselda.
Go on in.

Is that the dining room, way down there?

That's right, Pa.
Right down there.

I'm hungry!

Griselda, sometime when you're in town,
come up to see me.

Here's my office number,
I want you to call me.

I wouldn't do that.

Why not?

Because it isn't right, that's why.

I'm gonna be looking for you
just the same, Griselda.

You gonna come up and see me.

No, I'm not.

I bet that's your only pair of shoes.

You come up and see Jim Leslie,
he'll buy you the whole shoe store.

If you don't come see me, I'm gonna
come out there and get you, you hear?

I'm gonna come out to that
pig belly farm

and bring you right back to this house.

You don't love Buck.

If you did, you'd have
four kids by him now.

That pawing Griselda's gotta stop.

I gotta apologize for Jim Leslie,
Griselda.

My family ain't known
for their politeness to women.

They're headstrong that way. Come on.

I'll be coming out there and get you
one of these days, Griselda.

Thanks for the money, son.
Consider it a loan.

- Did you get it, Pa?
- Did you get it?

I reckon I did! Just look a this
big wad of greenbacks!

Hey, Pa, you know what I'd like
to get now?

I'd like to get me... a raincoat.

What for?

Well, it's fixin' to rain, Pa.

It can't rain now.
I don't want it to rain yet a while.

I got diggin' that hole and
I can't dig underwater any too well.

Yeah, but Pa, suppose it does rain.

I'd like to put me on a raincoat
and wear it.

Son, if it starts to rain,

you just peel off your clothes
and let your skin take care of the rest.

Got never made a finer raincoat
than a man's skin anyhow!

Let's go.

Ty Ty, I'm kinda thirsty...

Think we can stop in town
and get a quick beer?

Well, I don't think it'd be showin'
a proper respect for Jim Leslie's money

to spend it in a saloon.

Just one beer, Pa.

One beer, Pa.

I ain't been in a saloon in my life
and I ain't gonna start now.

Well... you can wait in the car, Pa.

Hey there, good lookin'!
Yeah, you in the fancy hat!

- Oh, big man!
- Oh, man!

Oh big man, you honkin' for me?

Hello, grandpa!

Hey grandpa, wanna dance with me?

Come on! Come on!

Now you get the others
and get this car rollin'!

We're in the street of sin and shame!

Oh, go on up there Pa and
come back and tell us about it!

Darling Jill!
You do what I told you!

You girls stop teasin' and
go fetch the boys outta that saloon!

Hey, grandpa,
come on, buy me a drink.

Come on, grandpa.

Oh, I know what's wrong with you.
You're bashful!

You leave me be.
Griselda, get me out of this!

- Hey, leave our pa alone.
- Your pa?!

Well who'd you think it was?

Well now, what do you mean,
honkin' your horn under my window?

I apologize, ma'am.

But I was only trying
to get my family out of that saloon.

You made me come all the way down here
for nothin'.

I'll voodoo you, you tight-fisted miser!

You girls fetch those boys
outta that saloon right now!

I'm alright! Leave me alone!

I know you're alright.

I'm just fine! Leave me alone!

I feel fine.

How'd this happen, Shaw?

Well, Pa, he tried to drink Will
under the table, Pa.

And I guess he lost.

What a saloon can do to a man...

- Yeah, Pa, I stuck to beer.
- It's all the devil's brew!

There's drinkin' water right in
our own backyard.

All my health and long life,
just plain well water.

Now you get Will and Rosamond
and we'll be on our way.

Will Thompson!

Hey, Rosamond.

Come on, Will.
Rosamond, come on.

Give me the power!

I'll turn on the power!

Give me the everlastin' light of life!

The power!

How you, beautiful girl?

Now wait a minute,
now you keep your hands off her!

I'll kiss my girl all I want!

Keep your hands off her!

I'm sorry I had to do that,
son in law.

Rosamond, you and Will have to
go back to Peach Tree Valley.

I don't seem to be able to keep
my family together.

There you are, Darling Jill!

I've been lookin' all over
for you folks!

Uncle Felix told me you went
to Jim Leslie's house

and I went there, seen Jim Leslie.
He said,

"Go to the first bar come to and
they'll be there drinkin' up his money".

I like this Jim Leslie fella!
I got his vote!

Oh, you everlastin' horse head.

Jim Leslie don't even live in the right
county to make his vote count!

Is that a fact?

Pluto,

I couldn't be happier to see ya.

Is that a fact?

Yeah, you come at just about
the right time.

I did?

You and Darling Jill are gonna drive

Will and Rosamond
back to Peach Tree Valley.

Oh... no... not again!

Come on, honey waffle!

Come on, Will. Let's get up and do it.

Ty Ty, I'm gonna pull the switch
and light up the whole world tonight!

Yes, Will, yes! You can do it, honey.
Everything's gonna be alright.

Don't "yes" me like I'm a baby.

Oh no, honey.

I'm gonna pull a switch
and light up the whole world...

Leave me alone!

I'm gonna pull a switch and light up
the whole world, Ty Ty!

I'm telling ya!

Pa, I'm afraid to go back home.

Will's not hisself.
He's never been this wild!

He's gonna do something, I know it.

For six months now, I've just been
livin' from day to day,

hopin' that tomorrow'll change him.

But I've gotta have help now,
I can't do it alone.

Griselda, you're the only one
he might listen to.

Now, Rosamond, honey.
Now Griselda she can't go, honey.

Pa, please,

make Griselda listen to me!

I'd ask for you, daughter, but

Griselda has to make up her own mind.

- Griselda...
- Don't ask me.

Who can I ask?

Buck hates Will.

- You hate him too?
- No.

You know I don't.

You love him.
Same's I do.

That's why you got to
help him, Griselda.

Please, I'm begging you. Please!

Alright, I'll go with you
til he sobers up.

Thank you, Griselda.
Thank you.

Tell your pa I'll take care
of everything, Shaw!

He's still sleeping,
thank goodness.

Here it is, dark.
I wasted another day.

Haven't counted a single vote.

I've gotta be gettin' home.

Besides, this ice cream is gettin'
too cold to eat.

Wait just a little while longer,
til he wakes up.

He's mighty fond of peach ice cream.

I gotta go too, Rosamond.
Buck's gonna be wild!

Stay a while.

I don't wanna be here alone with him.

Are you scared of Will?

Your own husband?

I reckon I am...

the way he's been acting lately...

Waited til I woke up, didn't you?

Yes, Will.

I'm turning on the power tonight.

Will, wouldn't you like some
peach ice cream?

Never worked in the cotton mill,
did you, Pluto?

No, sir.

I've gotta be gettin' home.

I've gotta get elected.
It's mighty important, Will.

You know what it's like in a company
town when there's no work?

No, sir.

Well I'll tell ya.

You ever shoot a rabbit

and go and pick him up

and when you lifted him up
in your hand,

felt his heart poundin' like...

like... I dunno what.

Have ya?

Well I have.

I have!

Will, where're ya goin'?

To turn the power on!

Stop him!
Somebody, please!

Hiya, Will.
What ya gonna do?

I'm gonna break open the gates
and turn on the power.

You mustn't do this, Will.
You're gonna get in trouble!

I'm gonna open the mill.
I promised the whole valley.

Don't you understand? You can't do
this alone! You're gonna get killed!

- Do you care?
- Of course I care!

I waited for you, Will.

If you would only ask,
I would've waited for you all my life!

All my life is now.

Don't shut me out, Griselda.

I won't shut you out.

It's been a long time since we've seen
the inside of these buildings.

There's nothing here anymore, Will.

It's all here,
the same as the day I left.

Waste...

Nothing but waste.

Griselda, when the power's on,
the valley hums.

There's meat and potatoes
on every table.

People... they remember
funny things to laugh at.

When the power's off...

they valley's dead.

You see what I mean, Griselda?

You see why...

why... I gotta turn on the power?

I've been talkin' about it too long.

Takes a man to turn on the power,
not just a talker.

Just lookin' at you
makes me feel like a man again.

How can I help you, Will.

Look at me.

Just keep lookin' at me.

- No, Will, no.
- You sound like Rosamond.

We both love you, Will.

Then help me, Griselda. If I don't
do it now, I'll never do it.

I'll do anything you want, Will,
only let's get outta here.

I've never been this close before.

Don't think about it, Will. Think of me.

You gotta go back
to the house, Griselda.

I'm not going without you, Will.

It's the mill.

Rosamond, he turned the mill on.
Will turned the power on!

You get down from there!

I didn't mean to hurt you, Buck.

What'd I do? What'd I do?!

It's my job, Will!

Who's gonna give an old man a job?

Don't you see?

Who's gonna give him a job?

Damn you, Will Thompson!

Why'd you have to go
and do a thing like this?

It's Will Thompson!

I know!

Shaw, you get everybody a nice cool
glass of water, ya hear?

Rosamond, why don't ya just
sit on the porch and

rest a little?

What's the matter with you?

I wanna know what's the matter with you!

Nothin'!

Act as if they just buried your husband
instead of that lint-head.

Please, Buck!

Please what?

Don't want me to talk about it, huh?

There's nothing to talk about!

Anyway, you gotta have some regard
for Rosamond.

What you care about Rosamond?

Why did you have to chase after him?

Griselda, we have to cook dinner.

No one's eating in this house til
I get an answer from her!

I asked ya a question, can't ya talk?

Sure, I can talk.
But this isn't the time for it!

It's a shame you can't kill a man
but once!

Otherwise I'd be
gunnin' for him right now!

I'da liked to kill him myself!

Now look what you've done.
You oughta be ashamed of yourself, Buck.

You, shut up!

You don't look ashamed for anything.

You're both alike!
A pair of loose fillies!

If you ain't man enough
to hold on to your wife,

I'd be ashamed to admit it.

I'd just go hide my face some place!

- What did you say to me?
- Buck!

Will's dead!
Ain't that enough punishment?

We're going at it like this all the time

and we're getting further and further
away from the happy life!

Pa.

Hey, Pa.

I have the water here, Pa.

All of us ought to...

set down and think a little...
about living.

And how to do it.

God didn't put us here to scrap
and fight each other all the time.

I don't wanna hear no more about God.

We don't have a little more
love for each other,

there's gonna be a real sorrow
in your house, son.

I've tried all my life to keep
a peaceful family under my roof.

If you'd just stop fightin'...
learn to smile and laugh

just a little.

You talk like an old fool.

Maybe that sounds that way to you.

If you got the feeling of God
in your heart,

you just can't fight.

God! God! God!
What did God ever do for you?!

I don't feel exactly the way Buck does

but we ain't got a penny outta
God's little acre yet.

You boys don't seem to catch on.

It's not important that I get money
out of God's little acre.

The fact I can walk on it,
and stand on it, and feel God is there.

What's all this gotta do
with me and Griselda?

All you boys seem to think about
is things you can see and touch.

Well that ain't livin'.

It's the things you feel
down inside you.

That's what's living's for.

If you felt more how Griselda
feels inside her,

no other man could touch her.

That's just what I was gettin' at
before you shot your fool mouth off!

What went on
between you and Will before he died?

How's it gonna make you feel any better
to have her tell you that?

I wanna hear it from her.
I got a right to that, haven't I?

- I'm not afraid to tell him, Pa.
- No, don't tell him anything!

You stay out of this!

If I was you,

when I went to bed tonight,

I'd get down on my knees in the dark
and try talkin' to God a little.

He can tell you things nobody else can!

And maybe He'd tell ya how you oughta
act with Griselda.

He'd tell ya, if you only took
the time and trouble to listen.

Cause if there's anything in the world
He's crazy about,

it's seein' a man and a woman
in love with each other.

And to forgive is part of lovin'.

When He sees that,

He knows the world is runnin' along
as slick as grease.

Buck'll come along alright
when he gets a little older.

You just try and be patient with him
til he lives a little longer.

It takes some people almost a lifetime
to learn some things

and Buck is real young.

I'm afraid he'll never learn, Pa.

What's there to learn?

Will wasn't any bigger than I am.

He wasn't any stronger either.

I could throw him any morning
before breakfast.

It wasn't the way he looked
that made him different, Buck.

It was the way he was made, inside.

He could feel things!
And you can't!

You can't suck me in
with that kinda talk!

I wanna know what you and Will did
behind my back!

Pluto, you were there.
What happened?

- Nothin' much.
- What do you mean by "nothin' much"?

Nothin' much just means nothin' much,
that's all.

Did you go deaf, dumb and blind the day
you went to Peach Tree Valley?

Listen, Buck. I was in that house
the whole time we were there.

I didn't see nothing more exciting

than coffee and cake
and peach ice cream.

When that siren blew,

we all knew that Will was dead.

That's a fact.

Now, that's settled.

Let's go in and get some supper.

Come on, Rosamond.

We'll all get a good night's rest,

and tomorrow things will look
a lot different.

Well I'm going back to Augusta.

Care for a lift, Griselda?

I got a big empty house.

Oh, plenty of room for you too,
Rosamond.

Now look here, son.

You're welcome to stay
for supper, but...

if you're so all fired on gettin' back
to Augusta, you go on.

Don't be temptin' the girls,
they're staying here.

You know, it looks like all of you
learned your lesson by now.

All you raised on this land
is piles of dirt and empty holes.

I aim to strike a load soon.

You been sayin' the same thing
for years.

Age didn't bring you any more sense.

I got sense you don't know about, son.

I hate the smell of this place.

I hated it since the day I was born.

You can come live with me
in Augusta, Griselda.

You can have some new clothes,

a new car,

plenty of spendin' money.

Get in the house, Griselda.

You can come live with me, Griselda.

You take your hands off her!
I'll kill you!

Feels like...
like the end of the world has struck me.

Feels like...

the bottom's dropped off from under me.

I feel like I'm sinking,

- I can't help myself.
- No, Pa, don't talk like that!

No, it's all my fault, Shaw!

Digging for gold!

Digging for gold!

Never giving heed to my sons,

til they got big enough
to kill each other!

Oh, God!

God, give me strength!

Let go of my arm.

I don't want any woman
I can't hold on my own.

Go with Jim Leslie if you wanna

I'd like to be around when you decide
to get yourself a husband.

You get outta here.

You get in your car, Jim Leslie.

And go back to Augusta
where you belong.

If you ever show your face here again,

son of mine or no son of mine...

We'll go in the house,

get some supper,

and have a good night's sleep.

Maybe...

tomorrow'll be a good day.

God...

Give me strength

to spread out my arms
to the end of my fields.

Let me fill up the holes.

Make the land smooth.

You spared my sons.

I'll never dig another hole again,

except to...

to plant seeds for things to grow.

Why, you big horse head of a sheriff!

And you big horse head of a
sheriff's wife-to-be!

You're plantin' well, Shaw.

Well I'm plantin'.

What do we got for dinner, honey?

Same as yesterday, Buck.

Bacon fat and grits.

I don't care...

I just wanna be waited on
by a beautiful woman.

What's the matter, Mr. Ty Ty?

The plow's struck somethin'
mean and hard!

It ain't nothin' but a rock, Mr. Ty Ty.

Oh, it ain't!

It sounded like metal!
I swear it to you!

What'd you find, Pa?

I can feel it! I can feel it!

Give me room!

Oh, it's nothing but an old shovel,
Mr. Ty Ty.

Just look at this shovel.

I bet ya it's a hundred years old.

I bet ya my grandpa used this shovel

to bury the gold.

It's a sign from the Lord.

Mr. Ty Ty, if we're gonna have
a crop this year,

we got a whole lot more
plowin' to do yet.

I don't reckon there'd be much time lost

if I took this day to give my grandpa
one more chance, huh, Griselda?

Come on, mule.
