Original subtitles

Of Sarah and Nick who, sadly, will be leaving us

for Missouri tomorrow.

: Boo!

Yeah.

: Boo.

Don't go.

But, fortunately for them, Missouri loves company.

Oh, come on, you don't like that one?

I worked on it all last night.

Anyway...

Are there even any health food stores out there?

No, but I am gonna be able to start that garden

I always wanted and our food source will be

completely sustainable.

Bravo, Sarah.

Oh, my God, guys, I'm like, so proud of you, seriously.

You're on the forefront.

You're like in the battle against our energy crisis,

and we need people like you, out there figuring stuff out,

you know.

Building wind farms, or ethanol crops, whatever it is

you have to do.

You know, you have to solve the problems.

It's important for the future and it takes a lot of courage

and I'm all for it.

What about the kids there, are you gonna... are

you gonna keep trying for that?

Oh, definitely, but the doctor said that maybe a change

of scenery would help.

So...

You know, I think maybe he just meant like try doing it on

the living room floor or something.

I don't think he meant, like, you have to go to Missouri.

Yeah, he probably he did, but oh well.

So, this should really help.

Everything okay with you?

You all right?

Yeah.

I mean, is there anything that you want... that

you want to talk about maybe?

No.

No? Not...

No.

Some of you may know this, but our Nick here is gonna

be working in one of the largest windmill parks

in all of America.

So, in honor of your journey I wanted to present you guys

with these little parting gifts.

- Oh nice. - Look at those.

Oh, my God, look is this?

Spin 'em! Spin 'em!

Here's to going where the wind blows you.

Bill?

Nick.

Nice to meet you.

Hi, I'm Sarah.

Nice to meet you.

So, are we still in Nebraska, Bill?

Yep.

We'll be in Rock Port in about an hour.

Then we'll head on down to the cabin in Hoot Owl Bend.

So, you're from Rock Port originally, Bill?

Yep, born and raised.

I went to school in Manhattan though.

Hmm.

Wow, that must've been a culture shock.

Not really.

Manhattan's in Kansas.

It's about an hour across the Missouri border.

Oh.

I thought you were talking about the other Manhattan.

That's funny.

Yeah.

Manhattan, Kansas is, however, the home to longest

continually operating Pizza Hut store in the United States.

Well, here she is.

Oh, by the way, I got you my cousin's truck to drive until

you get a different one.

Thanks.

That there is the Missouri River.

Well, you wanted something cheap, cheap it is.

I ain't done much with it since the old man passed.

You know, we used to come down here spring and summers for the

fishin'.

Well, you got your bed over here.

You got your kitchen area over here, stove and whatnot.

So, what do you think?

It's nice.

Yeah, it's... it's great.

Where's the bathroom?

Well now, as far as the garden you wanted to plant

around here, it's probably not a good idea to

put it back here.

Yeah, this place is pretty well saturated.

Nice little spot around front though.

They say there's a bald eagle's nest over here someplace.

They say seein' one's good luck.

I never seen one myself.

All right, this covers you for the first month's rent and

the pickup.

I'll see you tomorrow at the office.

Hey.

Hey.

You all right?

There's no bathroom.

Ah, it's only temporary, baby.

You know, just think of it as a wonderful camping trip, just you

and me.

You know, you don't go camping for more than two or

three days at a time, okay?

People who camp for extended periods are called "hobos."

No, we're not hobos.

We are a very, very lucky people.

I mean, look, it's beautiful.

I know.

All right, Nick.

I got your test results here, and I'd like to explain a little

bit about what they mean.

You can see these sperm cells are irregular, or abnormal.

Basically, these cells are incapable of fertilizing an egg.

Is there anything I can do to fix it?

To be quite honest with you, Nick, no.

Rock Port is the first town in the.

United States to derive 100% of its energy

from wind power.

We have five competing wind energy companies in the area,

but we are the biggest.

We currently share this office space with Trade Wind Energy.

Now, if you'll look at the map you'll see that we have about

100,000 acres on our property.

We do have two farms that are closer to completion

than the rest.

One of them is near the Missouri River and then the other one is

in Fairfax, Missouri.

We have a lot of landowners who have expressed an interest, but

we haven't quite brought them on board.

We're hoping that with all the activity, and the benefits, and

the community involvement that they'll be on board soon.

So, do you have any questions, Nick?

Uh, no.

Okay, then.

Welcome to the Anamway Energy Family.

Thank you.

Wow, these things look so much bigger down

on the ground.

Yeah, and that's just one blade.

Any drawbacks to these things?

None that I've seen.

Some people don't like the looks of 'em.

My old man worked in a coal refinery all his life.

These things are a hell of a lot prettier than that.

You know, being out here makes me feel like a little

kid again.

The fresh air, and rolling around in the grass, grass

stains.

Ugh, grass stains.

I used to get in so much trouble when I was a little kid.

You know, I would come home with them all over my pants.

My mom would want to kill me.

Oh, and burdocks.

Burdocks?

What are burdocks?

You don't know about burdocks?

No.

Um, they're these awful little dried up plants, like

thistles, and my sister and I would get them all in our hair

and we'd have to spend the rest of the day picking them out.

It was a nightmare.

Oh, baby, this would be a wonderful place to raise kids.

I got two people in the office, but it doesn't matter to

me because I don't have to report to an office ever again.

Basically, what I do is I go from farm to farm and I meet

with different farmers and I make sure that they're happy.

Uh... is everything okay?

Yeah, it's just that there's this guy over at the bar who

keeps staring at me.

Don't... stop, don't turn around.

He's creeping me out.

Everybody's looking at us, baby.

Here you go.

Today's the big day.

Are we going in?

Nah.

I got a call from Darius Clemens, the farmer that owns

this land.

This unit went up about a week ago and the workers left some

pop cans and stuff layin' around here.

So, what we're gonna do... is clean it up.

So, how'd you get into this line of work?

Just the right place, the right time, I guess.

♪ Just one thing, I don't know what I'm

fightin' ♪♪ - Hey, try these.

Turn around.

Mm, it's too baggy in the butt.

You know, nobody's looking at my butt when I'm

pickin' up garbage.

Bingo!

That's one good bingo!

Damn, I was in.

Darius owns half the county.

He's even got his own Mexicans.

Bill, what's the good word?

Nothin' much.

Thanks for cleaning up my ground over by turbine 27.

Oh, not a problem, Darius.

I just wanted to swing by and introduce you to Nick.

He's going to be taking over for me when Lana goes to Kansas.

City.

Darius Clemens, good to meet you.

Good meeting you.

Say, did I see you out to The Black Iron the other night

with a lovely young lady?

Yes, that was my wife.

I thought so.

We don't see a lot of new faces around here.

So, when you do see one it really pops out

and you remember it.

So, where's Bill got you stayin', Nick?

Hoot Owl Bend.

You got him stayin' out to your dad's old cabin?

Yep.

You know, my mom she used to call that place,

"The Sugar Shanty."

She never went out there because she said that she wasn't givin'

out any sugar.

How 'bout you two comin' up here tomorrow night for dinner, bring

your better halves.

I'd love to, Darius, but I got bingo tomorrow night.

Well, good luck with that.

Thanks.

How about you, Nick?

You want to bring your better half up here and have dinner

about six o'clock tomorrow night?

Absolutely. I'd love to.

Good.

I'll see you then.

That's some place he's got.

Yeah, you should see his wife.

So, how do I look?

Great, babe.

You're not even looking.

What else do you got?

Jesus, Nick, you bought me this dress.

A gift certificate, baby.

You picked it out.

After last week's evening out I don't know what to expect.

There it is.

What?

The best look I've seen on you all evening.

So, you're saying you only think I look pretty when my tits

are hanging out.

Darius Clemens thinks you're very hot.

Really?

I think you're really hot.

Welcome! Glad you could make it up to my neck of the woods.

Oh, thanks for inviting us.

Darius Clemens.

Good to meet you.

I'm Sarah.

Nick, you've got yourself one beautiful lady here.

Come on, let me show you two around.

When I bought this ground it was nothin' but bluff ten years ago.

Now look at it.

It's amazing.

My own little kingdom up here.

Right here, as you can see, are some of my turbines.

Anamway pays me $15,000 per year per turbine.

That increases yearly with profit sharing.

Pretty good money to just sit on my ground and spin.

Maybe Bill should tear down that cabin at Hoot Owl Bend and put

him up a turbine.

Darius!

Right here's the best thing on the place, my

lovely wife, Madeline.

Most of the corn we grow is not really for human consumption.

It's for ethanol gasoline, seed corn, livestock feed, a little

bit of popcorn here and there.

Oh, that's amazing.

I got that out in Wyoming about five years ago.

It's a big deer.

Elk.

Near perfect except for a slight irregularity on the right

antler.

It's still a beautiful animal though.

Oh, you must be quite the hunter.

Not a hunter, more of a collector.

He picked that up at an antiques show a couple years back.

So, have you been to Rock Port yet?

No, um, I've sort of been stranded out at Hoot Owl Bend.

Well, you must be goin' stir crazy.

Well, tomorrow's Saturday, are you doing anything?

Why don't I take you to town?

Oh, I'm not sure.

It's just that tomorrow is Nick's day off and I don't want

to leave him all by himself.

I'm taking him up north to show him some ground I have up

there.

Good, it's decided.

- Two things Missouri's famous for: Sellin' fireworks

and meth.

My cousin owns that farm right up there.

My mom grew up on that farm right down there behind those

trees.

There was a old lady we bought eggs from who lived here.

Eggs were 20 cents a dozen, and when you'd buy the eggs they had

shit and feathers on the egg.

You just washed them eggs and... I mean, the shit still stayed

on 'em.

A lot of these places went broke during the farming crisis of the

'80s.

So, now we have these rusted out shitholes everywhere.

It's sad.

I remember it a different way from when I was a little boy.

Fortunately, wind turbines mean money, you know, for a lot of

these farmers.

Rain or shine, crop or no crop, they always have an income.

How long have you and Nick been married?

Um, it'll be four years this June.

So, you two thinkin' of startin' a family soon?

Rock Port's the place to do it.

Yeah, well, actually, um, we've been workin' on that for a

while now, and it just hasn't been as easy as we expected.

Maybe the fresh country air will help.

Yeah, well, that's what we're hoping.

When I was a kid I couldn't wait to get out of this

town.

But as I've gotten older, maybe wiser, I've come to realize it's

not such a bad place to live.

And as far as being dead you can't get any better.

I love this place.

Yeah.

I wouldn't mind being buried here myself.

I'm sorry, my friend, it is all booked up.

I've had my reservation since before I was born.

Meet my dad, Darius Clemens, Sr.

Were you close to him?

No.

He was an old prick.

Hmph.

He was a good businessman, though.

They never stop staring.

Why do they do that?

Because we're outsiders.

And by outsiders I mean we weren't born in Rock Port.

Oh, everyone I've met so far has been really nice.

Oh, they're nice to your face, but the minute you turn

around they're nasty gossips.

I've heard rumors spread about myself and others.

They're not worth repeating.

You're up.

Nah, here.

Come on, you gotta... you gotta line your sights up there.

Okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

My dad put that grain Quonset in one year as a father's day

present.

It's big.

Yep.

It's all about braggin' rights.

The bigger it is the more there is to brag about, the more they

respect you.

It's the same thing in New York City.

It's all about the square footage of your apartment, the

size of your bank account.

Yeah, but you don't strike me as the kind of person who's

concerned with that sort of thing.

Nah, not really.

I don't need much to survive.

So, you came out here to good old Rock Port to lead the simple

life.

I guess you could say that.

That's a good dream, but your wife's gonna beat it out of you

eventually.

Thank you.

My life is based on what I own, my ground.

Without owning land out here the best you can hope for is to farm

someone else's or drive an hour to work in a factory somewhere.

That'd kill me.

Let's get out of here!

Do you think Madeline's pretty?

She's okay.

Just okay?

She's attractive enough, I guess.

Do you think I'm attractive enough?

Of course, babe.

Why?

Nick, this is a really good time for me.

Getting you pregnant is just not first on my priority list

right now.

It should be our first priority!

I'm sorry, babe.

I didn't mean that.

I just thought that coming here might help, you know?

A change of scenery, we'd be more relaxed, but I'm scared,

Nick.

What if I can't?

Of course you can.

Do you promise, promise we can try?

I promise.

So, Bill told me you were up here.

I thought you might be able to use a beer.

Thanks, Darius.

So, how's Anamway?

No complaints.

How's the pay?

That could be better.

Nick, if you don't mind me asking, just what are you tryin'

to do there?

Well, I'd like to move up in the company.

Eventually get into planning.

You talk to Bill about that?

Nah.

Not yet.

Bill's a man of few words.

You might wanna pin him down, get some answers.

Thanks, hon.

So, Bill, I've been doing a little bit of thinking, and I

think I'm ready to move on.

Ready to quit already?

No, move on to the next phase of my job with Anamway.

Well, you're doing the job I trained you for right now.

I haven't even been inside of a turbine yet.

And you may not.

The only people we let up there are engineers.

Okay, when I took this job they said that I could move up

the company.

Well, if you want to relocate to Kansas City...

Kansas City?

If you want to relocate to Kansas City, you can take some

training classes, and get on the maintenance side, which would

be oiling the turbines and getting the grease out of the

main shaft, but either way you look at it, Nick, you're

cleaning up the inside or you're cleaning up the outside.

What is this?

It's cereal.

I know what it is.

We don't have any milk?

No, Nick, we don't have milk.

In case you forgot, I don't have a car, and you haven't gotten

groceries in three days, except for beer, of course.

That's disgusting.

It's not that bad.

First, you start pissing out our window, and now this?

I'm not going out to that shit house at 2 a.m. to take a

piss.

You're destroying my garden.

Don't walk away from me, Nick!

So, how you like the local cuisine?

It's great.

Well, it's not gourmet, but it does the trick.

So, I thought this place was only supposed to be temporary.

It is.

I'm working with Anamway to get something better soon.

Is everything all right, Nick?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Listen, I don't want to overstep my boundaries, but I've

been thinkin' about what we talked about.

There's something I want to tell you.

I think you're wasting your time at Anamway.

- Well, I... - Look, just hear me out.

I know you came out here on a mission and I commend you, but

sometimes things don't work out the way you planned, trust me.

I've got a lot of experience with that.

The bottom line is you've got your wife stranded out here for

a month?

Now, you don't want her to go on like that, do you?

No.

I want you to come and work for me.

I have a few side jobs I can give you.

Darius, I'm not lookin' for charity.

Listen, I don't do charity.

I'm just as shrewd as my dad, maybe twice as mean.

Just think about it.

If you want me you know where to find me.

Darius is over in Brownville evicting someone.

Yikes.

You know Darius, he's all business.

Yeah, that's actually what I'm here to talk to him about.

He should be back in a minute.

This is really good.

It's actually the best breakfast I've had in a while.

Sarah's not much of a cook?

Um, she's not much of a morning person.

That's a shame.

I think morning's the best time for men and women.

Juice?

Um, no, I'm fine.

Well, look who's here.

Now, Nick, as you know I own a lot of ground in this

county.

Most of what I do on a daily basis is keep an eye on that

ground, make sure everything is in good repair, rents are paid

on time.

Now, I can pay pretty good, Nick, but what I need from you

is a guarantee that what happens between us stays between us.

I don't like just anyone knowing my business.

Of course.

Good.

Now, our first order of business today is to go out and get a

beer.

Hi there.

Hi.

Did I wake you up?

Oh, no, I was up.

I brought you some flowers for your garden.

I've been curious to see the famous "Sugar Shanty."

Right, I feel like we're the standing joke.

Well, I'd, I'd offer you some coffee, but we're all out.

That's fine, I had some earlier this morning.

With Nick, in fact.

Oh, really?

He came over to see Darius.

Those two are really hittin' it off.

Well, I think it's cute.

I love what you've done with it.

Thanks.

It's dark, though, which has to be rough.

I know if I didn't have light in my home I'd probably sleep all

day.

So, where's the garden?

It's not doing very well.

Maybe the soil's no good.

I'll send Juan and Enrico down, he'll bring you some fresh

soil.

No, that's fine.

I'll make it work.

Sarah, I know this has been a rough transition for you.

I mean, I can see it.

Oh, thanks, Madeline, but I'm fine.

You don't look fine.

Honestly, I'm fine.

Well, if you need anything just give me a ring.

Did you come inside me?

Hello?

It doesn't matter.

You checkin' out the local talent?

Yeah.

They call 'em "Lot Lizards."

Most of 'em are meth heads.

They'll fuck anything that moves.

Jump in the cab of these truckers who are parked here for

the night, get in the back, ride 'em, suck 'em, you name it.

And then jump out, go on down to the next truck.

That one right there, she's got a husband waitin' on her

up in lowa.

Hey, Darius.

You can't be feelin' too good.

Uhuh.

Well, you better hit the showers, we got work to do.

Have we had sex in every room of this place?

Yeah.

We can try the pantry next.

I'll take care of it.

Okay.

Talk to you soon.

Thanks, buddy.

It's Rick Watkins over at Fox Farms, said you never made it

out to see him today.

I had an emergency.

Is everything okay?

You had an emergency, you didn't have time to call me?

I'll tell you now what, Nick.

This isn't the first time this has happened.

I can't just drop everything here because you have

an emergency.

You didn't call, you didn't let me know.

What's going on, Nick?

It's a very, very easy job.

I just... I need to know that you're gonna

be there for me.

I need you to make a commitment to me that you're gonna do

better.

I'm tired, babe.

Please, Nick.

I miss you so much.

I don't feel like it, okay?

You never feel like it.

Maybe we can see someone.

What?

There's a fertility clinic in Kansas City.

No.

What do you mean, "No?"

I thought you said we weren't gonna try so hard.

We haven't been trying at all.

Two months out here, and you don't even talk to me, let alone

touch me.

All you do is hang around with Darius and Madeline.

I work for them.

I'm lonely, Nick.

Can't you understand that?

Loneliness isn't a good reason to have kids.

You're a fucking loser, Nick!

You're a fucking loser!

We're gonna make babies.

: Get the f... - You want to make babies?

You want to make babies?

Nick, stop!

Stop, Nick! Oww!

Nick, put that down and get in the truck!

I'll be right back.

Go on back to the truck!

What's going on?

Go on back.

Go on, drive.

Go on, drive.

Drive.

Drive.

All right, let's drive.

Woo!

Damn, I got a little blood on me.

That was we call a "forced eviction."

Hey, where are you goin'?

Look, I don't want my property burnt to the ground by some

lowlife, scud bud, meth head.

You're fucking insane.

I don't care what people do in the privacy of their own

homes, but when they start takin' that shit to the

streets... and the streets of my hometown, that

is where I draw the line!

So, you take me on a vigilante drug bust?

You're fucking nuts, Darius!

You wouldn't know a vigilante drug bust if it stuck you in the

goddamned ass!

You get back to that truck!

You are... You're on my time!

Oh, yeah, run on back!

Run on back to New York City!

You never owned shit and you wouldn't know how to take

care of it if you did!

I want to invite you and your wife to dinner tonight.

You want to come?

Sure.

So, Madeline and I have been thinking, and we've got

something that we want to run by you guys.

I own a little farmhouse just outside of Brownville, and I've

been rentin' it to some people.

It's a nice little place, fully renovated indoor toilet.

They're moving out the end of the month and, uh, well, we'd

like to move you guys in.

That being said, Nick, you've been doin' a great job here and

I'd like to hire you on full-time.

I would be honored to accept.

I'll be right back.

What are you doing?

"I'd be honored"?

They're going to give us a freaking house!

So what?

- Look... - Maybe, I don't want to live

in this fucking town for the rest of my life!

Do not start that car!

You're not gonna leave me here without wheels.

Yeah.

Do you understand me?

Try not having wheels for two months!

You're not gonna... no, no, no.

Get the fuck out of my way!

You're a fucking loser!

Is everything all right?

Yeah, yeah.

Everything's fine.

Where's Sarah?

She left, but, uh, she'll get over it.

Nick, you shouldn't have let her go.

She's been drinking.

I'll go get her.

Darius, that's really unnecessary.

Madeline's right.

She couldn't have gotten far.

Hey, can I buy you another drink?

No, thanks.

Okay.

Hey, this is from your friend down there.

Hit me again.

You wanna smoke?

Let's do it.

I drove up about a mile, but I didn't see any other cars

along the highway.

She must've been drivin' pretty fast.

Or maybe she stopped along the way.

Fuck me.

What?

I want you to fuck me.

Harder! Harder!

Yeah!

You see the way he satisfies me!

Oh, yes!

Fucking good!

He's the best.

He's the shit.

You know that Eskimos share their wives, right, Nick?

Yeah, I think I've heard that before.

Well, a common misconception is they share 'em with just

anyone.

What Darius is trying to say is that he likes to watch other

men fuck me.

I've watched over half the men in this county sweat over

her.

I loved every minute of it.

But this was special.

Nick!

Hey, you know things ain't always what they seem.

Come on back here.

Come on back here and let me tell you something.

You ain't got your pickup truck anyway, huh.

Come on back here.

Come on, come on, come on.

You just need somebody.

Sometimes good people are bad, the bad people are good.

Maybe you think I'm bad, I don't know.

We all got a little bad in us.

I want you stay on, work for us.

It's a pretty good job.

You and Madeline want to play sometime, that's fine.

I don't have to watch.

You need to learn how to be a man.

You may look beautiful when you, uh, when you fuck my wife, but

that don't mean you're a man!

Go ahead and beat the shit outta me.

You think I wouldn't like it?

You think I wouldn't like it?

Look, Nick... I just...

I just want...

I just want to love you.

I don't want to go anywhere with you!

You all right?

You okay?

Thanks.

I want to go home.

They're beautiful.

Windmills are beautiful.

It's like ballet, you know?

They just, like, they go around and around.

It's very hypnotic, you know?

I was in Oman, driving down the dunes, they have, like, sea... a

sea of windmills, and it... Really, it's like,

it's the future.

You're looking at the future.

Being off the grid.

Being non-energy dependent on oil.

Self-sufficient.

I mean, seriously, yeah.

[rock music playing faintly]

You are glowing.

Aww, thank you.

And we're still on for brunch tomorrow?

Definitely.

I'll see you guys tomorrow.
