These eyes of mine they been failing on me here as of late.

Doc says they's Cadillacs in there that's causing all the

fuss. Between you and me,

I ain't never been able to

see as good as I can see right this very minute

and that's the damn truth.

Californ-I-A. You a long way from home ain't you boy?

Got me an Aunt what lives out there, in Bakersfield.

Blonde hair, titties out to here, hmm.

Cuts hair for a living. Name's Lucy you know her?

What seems to be the problem?

You outta gas? Tires look healthy enough.

Engine's shot

Hmm. Blown engine huh?

What are you some sort of singer boy?

Used to be.

Used to be, what you done forgot how?

Something like that.

Where you headed to son?

I was aiming for Palestine.

Palestine. Damn. Well you got good aim boy.

Whoa whoa. Suit yourself. You might wanna...

watch out for the proprietor of this here establishment.

He ain't exactly batting on our team if you know what I mean.

Of course being from California you might be into that

sort of thing. I don't know. Hold on, you need anything

you just give old Alvah a holler.

There ain't nothing I can't fix or get, anything.

I tell you what, you stick around long enough I

might even introduce you to my sister.

She's a good looking son of a bitch.

You rang?

How much for a night?

It's not exactly the busy season.

Does thirty dollars sound fair?

What are these?

My guitar picks.

Well I don't know my way around a guitar so...

I'm good for it.

Room 109 out the door to the left.

I can show you if you like.

I can manage.

What the hell do you want?

Well that's a fine way to greet a man of the cloth.

I reckon a cold beer's out of the question, hmm?

Thought the lawyers settled it once and for all.

Unless you're here to give me some of my money back,

I don't see a need for you to be on my property.

I don't put too much trust in lawyers brother Henry.

We're not family.

Well my church roof still leaks.

What the hell did you spend my five grand on?

Fancy shit kickers?

Look I ain't after no more money.

I'll get my church fixed back up if I have to paint

and patch it up myself.

What the hell do you want?

I want you to come by my church this Sunday. And apologize.

To what little there is left of my congregation.

We've been doing this for years Henry.

You'd think one day we'd be able to laugh about it.

Step foot on my property again, I'll shoot you.

I'm praying for you brother.

Make you a real good deal today.

You take credit?

I look like a damn bank?

Now wait here, hold on fella.

Been a time or two in my life when the cupboards were bare.

You believe in signs?

I don't believe in much of anything.

Yeah, I bet you don't.

Know what I believe in?

Pussy.

Good luck finding any around here.

Ain't that the damn truth.

Nah, I'm good.

I got much better things to do with my time

than to get up into your business.

Is that so?

Nothing you can tell me I don't already know.

Young peckerwoods always think yours is the

first of it's kind Nope, not even close.

I came here to kill somebody.

Is everything ok with your room?

Yeah the room's fine.

I can help you turn on your television if you'd like.

I don't really watch much tv.

Shame we don't have a swimming pool.

It gets so sticky around here, huh?

It's all in the hips.

You've reached Henry Haynes crop dusting services.

I'm either in my plane-

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.

That's good. You want a pole?

Yeah sure.

Here you go.

Name's Booster.

Jake.

Jake, that's a good name, Jake.

You about the first airplane dodger I ever come across.

Reminds me some of bullfighting.

I'm a crop flagger I let mister Henry know

where he sprayed and where he ain't sprayed.

Most crop dusters use GPS now,

but not mister Henry. no sir he old school.

Henry Haynes flies that plane?

Yep.

Looks pretty dangerous, crop dusting.

You telling me. Mister Henry done wrecked three different

planes three different times. Couple which I seen with

my own eyes. Last one he clipped the steeple of our

church, but I'm pretty sure that was on purpose though.

Awe shucks. Sucker took my cricket.

Why would he do that?

Guess he was hungry.

Why would Henry crash into your church?

Him and the Reverend don't much like one another.

He been buzzing our church off and on for a while now.

Had everyone certain he was tryin' to crop dust the

congregation. Most of 'em took it as a sign, left for

another church. Ain't been back.

Church ain't been the same since.

Whoa, whoa I got one. Little bitty thing. Take a

whole bunch of 'em to make up a meal.

Well, you gotta start somewhere.

Jesus gave it to me.

Faith on the Hill Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church

of the Holy Spirit.

Awfully big name.

It's just a little bitty church.

Twenty folks on a good Sunday.

Reckon they'd let someone like me, stop by for a, a visit?

Ain't never really seen it happen,

don't mean it shouldn't though.

Here you go.

Isn't an all day type of thing is it?

Well, used to be... It seems the Reverend

run out of steam as soon as he get started.

You know, and when he's low, we's low. So...

And we a gospel church so if the music ain't hittin'...

It just, don't work.

Any fine looking ladies there?

If you're into sixty year olds.

Hey what're you doing?

Wouldn't want nobody get a flat out here in

the middle of nowhere.

Suite yourself.

Hey, say where you from again?

Who's your dad?

Ah there's my baby girl.

Hi daddy.Hey sweetie.

Well I've been preaching for most of my life.

But these past few years, seems that it's the furthest

that I've felt from Jesus. Then you walked in my church and

Lord if the clouds didn't part just a little bit huh.

That was quite some performance today Jake.

You even got them old folks off they seats.

Been so long I forgot which of 'em still stands

Boy Ms. Palmer sure was looking good in that blue dress,

Lawd, what I wouldn't give to get next to that.

Daddy!

There you go.

I wouldn't have pegged you for the gospel type.

My mom sang hymns around the house.

She stay in California?

Something like that.

You know there's a, a word for somebody like you.

When somethin' is wrapped in one kind of package then you,

you, you, rip it open and inside is something totally different

than what you thought it was.

Mmm! Anomaly.

That's it.

You the prodigy we've been looking for son.

I got to go.

Where you going boy?

I'm late I got to go.

Work? Hey it's the day of rest.

That boy sat there and ate three of my peaches.

What daddy?

Want another biscuit Jake?

Here.

You put your foot in there baby.

Let me get some of that cornbread Jake.

Thank you darlin'.

I let myself have a cold one

every now and then

Of course the wife don't need to

know nothing about that.

How many you want?

You gonna help me save my church son.

I'm about as far from righteous as

you can get Rev.

Well like I said.

The Lord accepts all kinds.

Yeah.

So what's a gig like that pay?

You want me to pay you for singing in my church?

Offering plates looked pretty healthy after

I got done singing.

Three ladies.

Got me beat.

There's somethin' about you man.

I haven't put my finger on it but

there's somthin' about you.

Maybe he broke out of jail.

He's got cops looking for him in four states.

Killed some dude over spilled tequila

in a dingy watering hole

Huh-down in Juarez

- Hmm. - Sugar, Jake ain't no killer.

You read too much baby.

Mm- kay

I bet he drinks blood.

He's a radical vampire come to save us.

From who?

Confederates.

Take me.

Where to?

Funky Town.

You sure you won't have some wine?

Nah,I'm good.

You carry that guitar

but so far I haven't heard you play it.

What good is a guitar that nobody plays

Music only brings me trouble.

I've always wanted to learn to play.

I took a few lessons once

but then I quite. It hurt my fingers.

Stick with it long enough you

build up a callous to it.

You ready?

Let's do it.

Mr. California.

You can't handle it, huh?

Oh, he saves it.

I didn't touch it so that was my point.

How ready are you?

I wish you'd blow on my balls.

Oi! Jack-ie poo! Ha!

You are a real athlete there buddy.

I'm kicking your ass Jack-ie

Awe now you gave it up.

Ah, he's slippin'.

Big Dawg. He coming after you.

There's a competition now boy.

Ah, well, well don't worry about me.

Jesus gonna' make up my dyin' day.

Well, well , well just tone it easy.

I like that.

Say you got any favorites on the shampoo?

This ain't the dog track boy.

That stuff there is just a bunch of hyped up snake oil.

Wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

but that's just me.

Says this stuff's for barnyard animals.

Trust me, this is my line of work. But,

go on, use that other crap.

See if I care.

Hey what's your name?

Wouldn't do you no good.

Hey, You ain't buyin' nothin'?

Didn't find anything I need

Well maybe you wasn't lookin' close enough.

Sugar, I got tattoos older than you.

You got you a chicken?

It's a Turkey.

Three strikes is a turkey Booster.

They ain't no damn chickens in bowling.

Oh.

Reverend there's something I wanted to ask you.

It's about Nicole.

We've been dating for about -

Listen, I need you to keep an eye on Jake

You know uh- get him a job.

You know, somethin' to keep him busy.

I like him singing at my church

Oh, Okay.

So I, so I was sayin' We, we been datin' for

Go on. Go on now

Okay. Okay.

Take your time.

I got two!

Two.

Wanna' try somethin' different? Mix it up a little.

Maybe go for some bangs. Different color perhaps?

I keep coming back to you sugar 'cause I like what you did.

Not what you can do.

Make me look like Susan Sarandon

in that football movie and we'll all be happy.

It was a baseball movie.

All I remember is men in tight britches,

whatever kind of balls they played with is beside the point.

Momma, do I have to wait on you?

It took me two whole days to push you out.

The least you can do is sit there quietly while I have

a cocktail and get my hair done.

You, you got that stuff to make lime daiquiris?

I have been dying for one of those.

Hey girl.

Been meaning to come in, get my ears lowered.

Henry Haynes. It's been a minute.

You're lookin' good.

You know older I get,

The harder it is to keep after it.

What's a man who don't drink doin' in a bar?

Just drivin' by. Saw that truck of yours out in the parking lot.

Figured I'd come in and flirt a little bit.

Who's got the kids?

Momma. She's takin' em bowling.

How they gonna bowl when they can't even

pick up a damn ball?

They block off the gutters.

Sort of let 'em you know, granny roll it to the pins

You wanna' get out of here and go for a ride?

Mmm, I'm just not there yet Henry.

Bill's been dead a year now but...

I wouldn't know what to do even-

It's a ride in a truck honey.

I'll stay on my side, you stay on yours.

I'm too damn old to try anything smooth.

I doubt that.

Mmhm.

So what happened to your wife?

She left me.

Really?

The way I heard it you practically ran her out of town.

Packed her up on a bus and sent her back to California.

Somethin' like that.

Round here, everybody knows what you do before you do it.

Yeah.

But you Henry are a bit of a mystery.

Nobody seems to know what really happened.

That was damn near 40 years ago.

Whole different life.

What are you? A cat?

What? You're older than my daddy,

No. I beg your pardon,

I ain't older than your daddy.

That son of a bitch is a helluva lot older than me.

Girl, don't you know how to put the hurtin'

on somebody don't 'cha?

You know.

Can I help you?

I'm here to see Roland.

Do you need someone funeralized?

Not yet.

Well I'm sorry, but

Mr. Roland is a very busy man.

Just tell him Jake's here.

Brother Jacob!

Boy am I glad to see you.

Hey it's alright Lamont I got this.

Come on back here. Look in my show room.

Back in here. This is where I keep my best stuff.

Yeah.

$7,000 for a pine box.

It's top of the line Brother Jacob.

Stainless steel, brushed velvet interior,

Hand rubbed satin finish, custom embroidery

deluxe sealer. Ain't nothin' gettin' in

or gettin' out.

Might as well bury a Coupe de Ville.

African American families tend to favor large scale

somewhat costly funerals Brother Jacob.

The death of a loved one is not the time to get cheap.

Ah, come on. We late. For a funeral

For a funeral?

Who died?

God has, smiled on me

Yes lord.

Alright, let's go.

What do you think happens when it's all said and done?

Mmmm. No sir.

There are two things I don't ever discuss.

Religion and politics. Come on.

I mean what if that's it.

Lights out.

Pretty scary thought huh?

If you really stop to think about it.

Like I just said,

I don't like to discuss this kind of stuff but,

I'm gonna' tell you what I think.

You see,

it's like this big ol' freight train.

It's coming right at us.

and it's gonna' hit us,

it's gonna cut us clean in half

and there ain't nothin' we can do about that.

'Cept maybe get out from

in front of the freight train.

See that ain't the point Jake.

The point is to make the most of your life

while you're up here in one piece

before you're cut into two.

You gotta live so that you can die.

I'm a bid'ness man Jacob, self made.

Managed to secure somewhat of a

little empire here in S ain't Francis County.

Now I'm gonna throw somethin' out there.

Now you may bite, you may not.

Gospel record contract.

I'm not a gospel singer.

I lucked up on a couple songs in church. That's all.

Mmm. That don't matter.

Music is music.

And you got the gift of song.

I got production knowledge and press connections.

We are talkin' tri-county AM exposure like that.

Now, sing somethin' for me.

Man I don't know what to play.

Uh, anything to get it started here.

It's just a damn work-tape.

It ain't going on the radio yet.

It's gotta mean somethin' to me

otherwise what's the point?

Ain't even got a B-side, you already establishing

yourself an artistic code of ethics.

What's the last song you wrote?

No sir.

Not tonight.

What are you doin'?

I'm getting back to my main gig. Now if you want to stick around

and learn a thing or two about body putty I'd be happy

to teach you otherwise I'd prefer it if you

go ahead and show yourself out.

Come back when you got somethin' to sing about.

Are you for real?

Mhmm. Don't let the doorknob hit you on the way out.

Hush little baby don't say a word,

Papa gonna' buy you a mocking bird.

It's the shampoo lady.

What are you doin'?

Walkin'

I hate a smart ass.

You like milkshakes?

Get in.

Figured you'd be bigger

Based on?

Well Roland's been going on and on

about this mysterious white boy with

the voice like a delta devil.

Just figured you'd be a little, bigger.

He your boyfriend?

Not hardly

He get's his hands full I come in and work a little

hair and makeup magic on the dead.

Period.

Most of the time he's full of bull,

but, the rascal knows good music.

- bid'ness man. - Mhmm.

Yeah.

So what are you doin' here?

Havin' a milkshake with a very pretty girl.

Somethin' about you is familiar.

Get up. I got to go to work.

Come on!

Just tell me your name.

You seem lost Jake.

Fresh hot towels.

It's midnight.

I brought pepsis too.

I umm,

I hope you're not planning on leaving town anytime soon.

It's been nice having someone progressive around here.

They'll run me out of town soon enough.

So, what did little Jackie-poo want to be when he grew up?

Short stop for the Dodgers.

Ah, I used to play Cricket.

And I was damn good.

But then I got kicked off the team for

slapping the bowler's butt.

Nothing wrong with a little good game smack on the ass.

He was in the shower when I did it.

I used to have a woman in my home.

Or maybe a man.

You know why I really like music?

It seems to be the one thing

that no matter how ugly the inspiration

the results always sound so pretty.

Goodnight.

Hey.

What'd you want to be when you grew up?

Oh, I wanted to be gay running a shady motel in the bible belt.

And maybe raise some cattle.

Sleep tight.

Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hang on!

Give you a minute to get your clothes changed.

I wouldn't wear anything nice.

Where're we goin'?

Deuteronomy Chapter 5 verse 9.

I'll be in the whip.

I lay the sins of the parents upon their children.

The entire family is effected.

Even children in the third and fourth generations

of those who reject me.

I know who you are.

Yeah.

Who am I?

You have her eyes.

You sing a bit like her too.

Took me a minute to figure it out.

You knew my mom?

Yeah. She sang at my church.

She had the voice of a fallen angel.

Your old man he was jealous of her talent.

Never let her sing.

'Specially not gospel.

She was this delicate piece of fruit just,

dyin' on the vine.

Came to my church for a sip of water.

We were in love.

That's why he threw us away.

I was a married man myself.

Not proud of my transgressions.

See you were obliged to lend a helping hand.

Didn't have much of a choice.

He been asleep long?

Half hour or so.

Figure I'd let him rest.

Ahh. He used to be somethin' else.

Some used to say the best preacher man in all of Arkansas.

Seems like a good dad.

He has his faults just like the rest of us.

You wanna' go for a ride?

My, my, my, who is this

delicious gospel hunk and what's he doin' at

Calvary Christian House of our Lord Mount Zion.

Preacher on a Big Hill Holy Ghost Power

And All That's Sacred And Pure. Can I get an Amen!

Okay. More like, who is this white boy,

stuck behind my daddy's pulpit.

You were piqued.

I took little notice.

I'm pretty sure you wanted to kiss me.

I am pretty sure I did not.

Must've been somethin'.

I told you fool.

I just like the way you sing.

Yeah hold on.

Alright hotshot, step outside.

Take it easy.

Let's go!

I said move!

Who the hell are you and why are you here?

Alvah what the hell are you doin'?

Hell Jake.

Easy killer. Easy now.

Me and the boys just come by to

scoop you up, do a little skeet shootin',

have some fun.

Come on. We got beer on ice.

Woo! Yeah!

Hop up there shit head.

Pull!

DAMN

You can do better, Ah, ha, ha.

Jeff, I told you not to pull till I say pull.

You're throwin' my timin' off.

We talked about that.

Shit!

What's with the colored girl leavin' this afternoon, Jake?

People are not crayons Alvah.

Yeah, that my be so where you from,

but around these parts,

folks ain't gonna' think too highly of you

consortin' with that bunch.

I imagine some folks around here

probably just don't think.

Really?

Pull!

Hoo-wee! Son! That boy can shoot!

Ha, ha. ha.

You mind givin' me a lift back to town?

Whoa, what's your hurry? There's beer to be had.

You give any more thought to callin' Sheila?

I don't know any Sheilas.

My sister, I done told you about her.

Shit, she's as fine as Muscadine wine fellas.

Don't you even talk about it.

Uh, damn!

You see what I got to work with around here Jake.

Uh-oh. Looks like a jealous boyfriend.

He's harmless.

Really?

This ain't California Jake.

Hot day huh.

Yeah, yeah, there's been hotter.

Somethin' I need to talk to you about.

Yeah, what seems to be the problem?

Well not really a problem, more like a situation like.

Hey say what do you think about Nicole?

Nice enough girl I suppose.

She a bit hard headed but,

most of 'em are right?

Yeah,

Well I'm gonna' ask her to marry me.

Well, if she'll have me...

Still need to ask R- Reverend for his blessin'.

Well, I been tryin' to get to it but,

he a busy man.

I think she'd make a fine Mrs. Bickers.

I been savin' for a proper ring for a while now.

I had most o' my money in my wallet and uh,

Well I lost it.

Not too smart.

Keepin' all your money in one place like that Booster.

Well that's what wallet's for ain't it? Keep your money in?

Look, Man I'm all out of bread.

If I had any I'd loan it to you just as sure as the sun sets,

but I don't.

Well, figured as much. Well wouldn't ever ask it of you.

So what are you here for Booster?

Well I figured seein' you aint' got no money,

I'ma get you a job.

I talked to Mister Henry

and he said we could use a couple flaggers

on account of it bein' the busy season and all.

Payday's every Saturday, cash money.

Suppose I could use the dough.

Well, days are long, and breaks are short.

So get you some rest.

I'm talkin' a whole nother type of tired brother.

I'm gettin' tired just thinkin' about it.

I'm not sure this Is such a good idea Booster.

Of course it is. You need a job.

And he the boss man.

There's somethin' I need to tell you.

Somethin' about Henry.

What is it Jake?

Nothin'

Mr. Henry, this is the fella' I been tellin' you about.

He's a good hard worker 'n I already showed him a few things.

Yeah I seen him out in the field.

Maybe you oughta introduce me to a man before I hire him.

How come you got your back turned boy?

Hope he ain't expecting more'n minimum wage.

I'm not expectin' much of anything.

Hey save that womb broom Billy Ray.

Ladies love that tickle. You know what I mean?

You know I know what you mean man.

I'm Henry's son.

You know you look a little like him.

Can't say that I saw it then but I sure see it now.

Just met him for the first time.

I knew my old man real good.

Son of a bitch treated me and my mom like speed bags.

You ain't gonna' get no sympathy from me about none of it.

You got that guitar wit' you?

Back at the motel.

Go get it. Come back here when you're ready to play.

Wanna here your kind of music.

I saw a, what's his name the other day.

Who's that?

You know, June Bug? Dude they call June Bug?

- Yeah. - He still out there man.

Still out there.

Still doin' the same shit.

Man will never change will he?

Nah, people don't change around here man.

Stay the same. This is old school.

Where'd you get the blue skin?

Don't puke in my truck son.

You'd be doin' me a favor son.

I am not your son.

Take me to my motel.

Which one?

Gay one.

The gay one?

[grunting] whoah whoa whoa whoa, come on, come on,

come on, come on, it's alright, it's alright. Come on.

We home now boy.

Oh-

Why're you here Jake?

You asked me on a bowling date.

This ain't a date.

I got uh, some family nearby.

Who? I probably know 'em.

Billy Jamieson your brother is not a bowlin' ball. Stop it!

They look a lot like you.

They got their daddy's blonde hair.

Jamiesons' known for bein' tow-headed.

It's your turn.

It's been a while.

Good luck.

Ready for the league, huh?

Let momma show you boys how it's done.

Please.

Woof...

Why do boys prefer to pee outside?

I don't know.

My boys...

It's like christmas mornin' if they get the chance to

tinkle on the front yard.

What is that?

Not havin' to aim.

Mmmm.

It's a tiny town, Jake.

I don't like people up in my business.

Well I still don't know your name.

What kind of girl do I look like?

Glenda?

No.

Amber?

Boring.

Crystal?

Slutty.

Henrietta?

Bingo.

Tammy...

No.

Had to bury a kid today Jake.

Got his self run over by a truck.

Strange thing was, wasn't a scratch on him

Look like he's sleepin'.

I even caught myself tryin' to wake him up.

Now old folks ain't that bad.

Maybe they better off away from the

pains of a long life in the delta heat.

But the chil'rens,

that's hard brother.

Got me to thinkin'.

Got me to facin' the fact that

not once have I ever followed through on any thing great.

I promised that little boy today,

I wasn't goin to spend another minute not gettin' after it.

I'm glad you came back brother Jake.

Tell me you got somethin' good cookin'?

Well...

I got a beginning.

Got to have one of those to get to the ending.

Gimme a level.

Check, check, one, two.

Jake Haynes take one, take one.

That's about all I got right now.

You definitely cookin' somethin' brother Jake.

Uh- let's do it again.

Well I got this piece of a second verse I'll...

Anyway, check it out.

Yeah, I'll, I'll give him his.

He's doin' good out there ain't he?

Yeah, he, he, a hard worker I'll give him that.

Spend this on him.

Buy him a little somethin'

First week bonus.

Yeah w-, Yeah will do Mr. Henry

Feels good don't it?

Yeah it does.

What that for?

For gettin' me the job.

I don't know put it towards the ring.

Oh the ring,

I already got the ring already right here in my pocket.

Booster, you can't take everything you own with you

everywhere you go.

What if you drop it and lose it in the field or...

You right, you right. I know, I know.

So when you gonna' ask her?

Next full moon.

What are you a wolf?

Oh yeah that's a hungry wolf right there.

Man you always got to put some sangin' on stuff.

We come here every Saturday.

I just as soon stay in the truck.

What's he get?

Anything from pocket knives to wood glue.

A bouquet of daisies usually makes the cut.

Boy can't help it, he loves to spend his money on payday.

You reckon he'll get me somethin'?

This go with my jeans?

Henry, I've sort of met somebody.

In this town?

Better lookin' than me?

He's about half your age.

You don't let up do you girl?

You're gonna' have a life together

It's gonna' be fine.

That the boy you in love with?

I didn't say nothing about no love.

He's just another typical asshole.

Takes after his old man.

What?

Holy Shit. Ya'll both suck!

Leave her alone.

Sugar, they were fresh out them daisies you like.

Got this instead.

Cactus.

Don't look all sad over there brother Jake.

I didn't forget about you.

Mr. Henry wanted you to have a little somethin' somethin'.

Baby there's somethin' I wanna ask you.

I was gonna' wait 'til the next full moon but.

This thing is burnin' a hole in my pocket.

I bought it last week at the pawn shop.

The man said it was a very old diamond.

Most of 'em are.

Shoot! Damn it Booster.

Dang! Uh!

I dropped it.

I can't see nothin'

Shoot. Baby.

Nicole.

Nicole!

Nicole!

You look so cold. It's like 85 degrees out here.

I'm always cold at nighttime.

Hey you okay?

Did you feel it?

Me neither.

You know the first time Booster kissed me,

He had to do it all over again just so I could catch my breath.

I tried to get her to come back.

when I found out about you and all.

I begged her.

Hell I even drove out to LA lookin' for her.

For both of you.

She made it clear she was done with me.

Once you made it clear you were done with her.

I was 19 Jake.

Not usin' that as an excuse, just a point of reference.

What were you doin' when you were 19?

Heroin, a lot of it.

She's a strong headed woman.

She gets her heart set on somethin' and she won't let go.

She's dead.

I was in the joint when she died.

They let me go to her funeral.

Had to wear cuffs though.

She was alone?

Pretty much.

How could you do that to her?

How could you?

How long were you in prison?

Which time?

Why don't you just go ahead and shoot me?

I still might.

The gospel according to Mark Chapter 11 Verse 25

"And when you stand praying

if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him.

So that the Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." Amen.

Amen. Amen.

"Then Peter came to Jesus and he asked, 'Lord, how many

times shall I forgive my brother who has sinned against me?

Up to seven times?' Then Jesus answered,

'I tell you not seven times but seventy seven times.'"

Well, Lawd.

The Gospel according to Luke Chapter 17 Verse 3.

"If your brother sins, rebuke him. If he repents forgive him.

If he sins against you, seven times in a day,

and seven times he comes back to you

and he repents, forgive him."

Amen! Yes.

Oh, Lord.

It ain't easy to let things go ain't it?

Amen.

Yeah, somebody owes you some money, huh?

When, uh, somebody talks about your family.

Ooh, you wanna come up swinging.

Ooh, The devil, he, he real bad.

Amen.

Old Gooseberry, he, he want to pit us against another.

Brother against brother.

Yep.

Ooh, I been there. Ha, Ha.

I done that. I probably do it again.

That's right!

You see church He ain't like humans.

Uh-uh, no see we, see we, we want to hold on to things.

You know, take it to our grave. You know.

You, oh, I, I may forgive, you but I won't forget.

Yes, that's right.

You don't hear me though...

See that ain't my Jesus...

Amen!

You know what he said?

I will remember no more. Amen!

That's my Jesus!

That's my blessings.

He forgave you didn't he.

Yeah I can't get you the full twelve hundred right now Alvah.

Half. Then I'll send you the rest when I get to California.

You quoted me twelve hundred to fix the motor.

What? It doesn't need a new alternator,

When will it be ready?

Okay then, I'll see you tomorrow.

I got a good mind to bust a cap in your ass.

She came to me.

You lured her.

That's why I quite singing in the first place.

Don't bring me nothin' but trouble.

Especially with women.

Forgot about you bein' such a tender foot.

I'm takin' off.

When?

Soon as I get my car fixed.

This little town too much for you huh?

It ain't home.

Home ain't a place Jake.

It's people.

Why do I always have to go by the picture?

'Cuz the family need to be able to recognize her

when she's lyin' there in front 'em

Whoever put this wig on her aught to be lyin' next to her.

This ain't the beauty parlor.

Well it is for her

Can you get that? My hands is full.

My hands is full.

Can you get that?

Hold your horses Billy Bob.

What do you want?

Uh,

I ain't got all night.

I still don't know your name.

Sheila.

Brother Jacob.

Sheila, Alvah's sister Sheila?

Sucker was telling the truth.

Damn right he was.

I don't mean to be rude here but these folks

need to be done by the morning.

I can't have all kind of folks back here when I'm on the clock.

Yeah I get it.

I was just thinkin' maybe we could

finish up that song tonight.

Before I leave town.

Yeah.

We can do that.

Four embalms, first track of a hit record. Not a bad night.

Not bad at all.

I'm starvin'

I could eat.

I need a bed. Gotta be up in a couple hours, put these weary

folks in the ground.

You like biscuits and gravy?

Kicked Alvah square in the jaw. He bled like a stuck pig.

A horse?

More like one of them Shetland ponies.

But it makes Alvah feel a whole lot better

if you say it was a horse.

Still can't believe the two of you are related.

Me neither- Oh, shoot.

So you're leavin'?

You want me to stay?

You're a grown man Jake.

I can't tell you what to do.

Sheila I don't...

Bless that poor girl's heart, what did you do to her?

Not what you think.

Go on. Get out there and fix what you done broke.

I'm a big girl.

This is not about me and her.

He's at the motel waitin' on you.

Waitin' on me for what?

To kick your ass.

You want some more sweet tea.

Yeah.

It ain't workin' Jake.

I thought if I forgave you it would get better.

I ain't feelin' no better about none of this.

It's only been a couple of days buddy.

It might take a little time.

This where it happened huh?

Actually it happened by that door right over there.

Nicole!

You know more I think about it the more madder I get.

We were good friends Jake.

Now look at us, we ain't friends no mo'.

It was just an innocent little kiss Booster, really.

Umm, Umm I'm sorry. I don't mean to pry,

But would you mind not doing this here, this is a

respectable place of business.

Okay, just, make it quick.

She knew who she wanted to be with

just as soon as it happened.

Just a kiss?

That's all it was.

Well two really, you kissed me back.

On the cheek!

Don't yell at her.

It didn't mean anything.

Alright, kiss him.

Do what?

Kiss him, if it ain't all that.

I don't see the relevance.

It's just a damn kiss.

What in the hell?

What you done back there, I seen that.

Just ain't right. Goes against everything in the bible.

When did you ever read the bible, Alvah?

Church camp, when I was eleven.

Had to leave early on the account I got

kicked in the head by a big ass horse.

Is that so?

Makes me wonder what the hell's been goin' on back at that hotel

with your fancy friend.

Not to mention all the others you been sortin' around with.

You really should learn to love everyone Alvah.

It takes all kinds.

You still owe me twelve hundred bucks Jake.

Well I ain't goin' no where.

Suite yourself shithead.

You really aught to keep an eye on this thing.

About time you gave it back.

You knew?

You should have kicked my ass.

Couple times brother.

Couple times...
