Run to the left!
We bring you gifts of rice, corn....
Rice, corn, and....
- Squash. - What's squash?
It's like a pumpkin.
Come on, we're gonna be late.
Ms. Hernandez says someone has to hold our hand before we go on the street.
Hold each other's hand. Come on, let's go.
- Look out! - Go, Tigers!
Come on.
Lopez!
Where are you, you lousy drunk?
Where's Pete?
They fired him last week.
For what?
For being drunk.
Oh, well, that's great. That is just dandy.
What's your name? Andy?
Abel.
All right, Abel, you come with me.
We bought the new system over the summer to fix the one we got.
Apparently, Lopez forgot the part about installing it.
We got homecoming coming up in five weeks.
It's the only one that's in prime time, and I want this field looking immaculate.
So?
So can you install the new one?
I can try.
No, no. When my boys tell me they'll try...
...I make them run laps.
Now just do what you gotta do, keep the grass alive and get it installed.
Hey. What's wrong with you, McArdle?
What, do you like getting hit or something?
You know, that mirror's gonna cost at least 200.
- And I know you don't got it. - Swing by the shop, I'll cut you a deal.
- I don't wanna fight you. - Hey.
I don't wanna fight you either, man, but it's not like I got a choice.
Coach says he catches y'all fighting again, he's gonna bench you.
Of course he did. He has to say that.
You know what happened to me after last time?
All I had to do was run laps.
I don't mind running laps.
- You don't? - I mean, no.
Hey, Netty.
- What happened to your face? - Hit somebody's fist with it.
Well, I hope they're all right.
- She just came in off the lot. Take a look? - Yeah.
Yeah, your transmission's shot.
- How much is that gonna be? - A used block...
...parts and labor, normally runs around eight or nine.
How much for me?
Seven.
I'm a little short on cash. Call it five.
I bet you are. It's seven.
- Six. - Seven.
You have no idea how to negotiate.
When can I get it?
It'll probably be a day or two.
What are you doing tonight?
Party over in Armstrong.
- I can drive. - I can't.
Why?
It's game day.
Welcome to game two of your Sinai Tigers.
Billy Hodges lines up under center.
- Hut, hut! - He's going deep.
Flag on the play.
Need those fries, Seth.
Yeah, yeah. They're coming.
Booster Club would like to announce,,,
,,,tickets for the homecoming dance are on sale tonight,
You'll find the Booster Club stationed near the south entrance,,,
,,,to purchase your tickets before halftime comes to a close,
- How about another drink? - Yeah.
Just orange juice.
Okay.
There you go, cheers.
This is a raid. Everybody out, but leave the beers.
Hey, GiI.
How's it going, Roger?
WeII, we chased a few kids messing with some cars out in Lucky Lots.
I was gonna open fire if they kept me much Ionger.
Billy Hodges takes the snap,
He's looking deep, It's intercepted,
His second of the night,
Hey, wouId you pass me that ashtray?
Hey, what's this you got here?
- It's nothing. - Oh, come on now.
It's private.
I didn't mean to offend.
No offense taken.
He finds a hole,
- Touchdown, Bulldogs, - You're joking.
Looks Iike it's gonna be another great season.
- It's 11:30. - I know, the game ran--
My curfew's 11.
You want me to taIk to your dad?
No. He doesn't Iike you.
That was six hours so that's 26 doIIars.
Twenty-six?
It's 11:30. That's overtime.
Next Thursday, they want me to come in and work on some of the fryers.
- Are you around? - I have band practice that night.
Look, Seth, I don't know if I can do this anymore.
I'm trying to save up for a car next summer.
The RadcIiffs just had another baby.
They pay twice as much.
Sorry, Seth.
It's just business.
You had some time to think about what you did?
What did I do again?
You picked a fight with our quarterback on game day. You know what you did.
Is that why he threw three interceptions?
You think this is a joke?
How Iong are you gonna keep beIieving I start fights with your offensive Iine?
UntiI you stop. BiIIy said you broke his mirror.
You gonna suspend me again or can I just run some Iaps?
Oh, I'd expeI you if I couId.
But PrincipaI McKnight says we got to give him another chance.
We got to take into account his famiIy situation.
What situation?
You seen your dad IateIy?
- He's around. - I'II bet.
You're 17 now, right?
Your dad was 16 when he quit schooI, if my memory serves me correctIy.
The door's right there if you want it.
So, what's my punishment?
I wouIdn't Iook at it as punishment.
- Hey. AIex, isn't it? - It's...
...AbeI.
Right. WeII, this is Seth.
He's a mechanic. He's good at fixing things.
And, boy, does he Iove to dig.
He's gonna be heIping you with the sprinkIer.
You've gotta be kidding me. When am I gonna have time?
- After schooI, of course. - Yeah? I've aIready got two jobs.
WeII, now you got three. Enjoy.
- You speak Spanish? - No.
There's a trash can right there.
Why don't you start by cIeaning up the bIeachers?
ShouIdn't I grab a shoveI and, Iike, start...?
Whatever you say, boss.
Hey.
- You gave me a scare. - You need something, buddy?
I'm supposed to give these to....
Mr. Dwight McArdIe.
Can never seem to find him.
You his son?
- Yeah. - Is he here?
- No. - WeII, when do you expect him back?
He's on the road.
Okay, Iook.
CouId you just go ahead and sign right here?
Just shows I gave these to somebody.
What are they for?
You...
...shouId just probabIy ask your dad that.
Thanks, paI.
If this message is for Dwight McArdle,,,
,,,long haul trucker, leave your name,,,
,,,a number I can reach you, your cargo,,,
,,,and destination route and delivery schedule,
If this message is about something else, keep it short,
It's Seth. Come on, pick up.
Pick up.
AII right, I'm gonna keep caIIing back tiII you answer.
I got a Ietter today, it's from the bank.
And it's saying we owe them money, I think.
I figure that's your department so give me a caII back and teII me what to do.
Oh, and the girIs' pIay, it's in three weeks.
Just thought you shouId know.
Have you seen my Harry The Hippo video?
- Did you check the VCR? - Yes.
How about underneath that piIe of cIothes in your room?
Seth? Are you coming to my pIay?
I don't know.
- What you gonna do? - Hey, good game the other night.
- Oh, yeah? - Whoa, come on, come on.
- Everything okay? - What?
- Is that car bothering you? - Yeah, as a matter of fact, it is.
Won't give me back my keys.
Can I borrow this?
Sure.
I know what you're thinking. I aIways open cars this way.
That's probabIy a good way to meet girIs.
Did BiIIy do that to your face?
No, I've aIways Iooked Iike this.
Yeah. He's a bit of a jerk.
- Then why are you dating him? - I'm not.
That's not what I hear.
It's compIicated.
Do you need a ride?
- I can't, I got work. - WeII, thanks, Seth.
Thank you.
For what?
For being you.
Okay.
Bye, Seth.
Thank you for being you.
That's nice.
You're Iate.
Traffic.
- We start at 3. - Yeah, weII, I'm here, ain't I?
WeII, part of hoIding on to a job is showing up on time.
Am I getting paid?
This isn't a job.
If you're Iate again, ChaImers wiII hear about it.
You think I reaIIy care?
You know what, if you....
If you didn't care...
...you wouIdn't be here at aII.
Start digging.
AII right, boys, come on.
Tigers!
It's 5.
I gotta work at the shop in an hour.
Start at 3 tomorrow.
Sure.
If this message is for Dwight McArdle,,,
,,,long haul trucker, leave your name,,,
,,,a number I can reach you,,,,
There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
Because through Christ Jesus, the Iaw of the spirit of Iife...
...set me free from the Iaw of sin and death.
For what the Iaw was powerIess to do, weakened by sinfuI nature...
- Cary, you're messing it up. - GirIs.
...in the Iikeness of sinfuI man, as a sin offering.
- Cary. - Stop. Give these to me now.
- HeIIo, Seth. - Hi.
- Hey, I'm sorry about the girIs. - Oh, no. That's aII right.
God gave us chiIdren to remind us not to take things too seriousIy.
It's good to see you back.
Yeah. You aII started having Iuncheons again.
It's one Iess meaI I have to cook.
You know, Ruth has some cIothes she coIIected from when the Stewarts Ieft.
- They had girIs too. - They've got cIothes.
I just thought I'd mention it.
- You doing aII right? - Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
You seen your dad IateIy?
Look, we can aII see you're trying hard.
And you're doing an amazing job with your sisters.
But sometimes the hardest thing to do is to ask for heIp.
- I don't need heIp. - I'm not taIking about mine.
Have you tried asking him?
I did...
...once.
And?
My mom stiII died.
Thank you for Iunch though.
Hey, girIs. You ready to go?
I toId you, they're gonna do a morning pour!
Keith.
What are you doing here?
- I need to taIk to you. - WeII, you couIdn't caII?
- It's about Dad. - Keith.
- You coming? - Yeah.
What you do want?
- Have you seen him? - No.
- AII right, not since Iast winter. - Wait. Do you know where he is?
ProbabIy on a barstooI somewhere.
Because I can't get ahoId of him, and I've been getting these Ietters from the bank--
- Yo, Keith! - I'm coming!
Look, just go home, Seth.
They say we're Iate in our payments and we owe them and I--
WeII, that's not my probIem.
Just go away, Seth.
And don't come out here no more.
You know, I keep worrying that one day you're gonna discover...
...the Supersaver on County Road 7.
And then I'II never see you again.
I wonder if you'd caII.
You want that in cash or shouId I just move it to one of your offshore accounts?
Cash, pIease.
If my husband ever hears about our IittIe intimate encounters...
...he's IiabIe to come around with his 12-gauge.
ProbabIy best if we keep these private conversations...
...discreet.
Bye, sugar.
- Bye. - See you next week.
Move it! Find your marks!
Let's go, move! Move!
What?
Hey, I got an idea.
Today, how about you dig, and I sit in here and pretend...
...to put together the water pump?
Oh, okay, aII right. Okay, the siIent game. Yeah.
You know, I Iove this one. It's usuaIIy one of my favorites.
Go! MiddIe, middIe, middIe!
Come on now. Stay focused!
Hit your mark!
That's it, boy!
Go at him!
AII right, Iet's do it again!
There you go, there you go!
Hey, Mrs. Johnson, I'm back.
Mrs. Johnson?
- Hey, Cary, where's Mrs. Johnson? - She Ieft.
She Ieft? When?
I don't remember.
She wrote a note on the refrigerator, I think.
Did you guys get dinner?
I made us some cereaI.
- Seth? - Yeah.
Are we okay?
What do you mean?
- You're not eating anything. - How do you know?
The bread has fuzz on it.
What'd you guys do with your Iunches?
We traded them with Perry Lee.
Smart.
AII right, I'II go to the store tomorrow.
So are we?
- What? - Are we okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, we're okay.
I'm gonna pIay a IittIe before bed.
You probabIy saw.
But we got our taiIs handed to us in our Iast game.
Good oId-fashioned butt-kicking.
Afterwards, I sent the whoIe team on a IittIe run down to the Stop & Go.
It was their punishment. And you know what?
They did it without comment or compIaint.
They did it because they knew they had done something wrong.
I'm the footbaII coach, Seth.
- PeopIe do what I teII them. - I was--
I toId you to be here at 3:00 sharp and heIp with this fieId.
- But you-- - It's 3:30 now.
- But you can ask-- - It's 3:30!
Now, I toId you this was your Iast chance, and I meant it.
Tomorrow, I'm going to PrincipaI McKnight. I'II make--
- Hey, Seth. Did you get that pipe cutter? - What?
Our cutter's rusted out. I sent Seth to get another one.
Did they have it?
No. No, no, they didn't have it.
But I'II check tonight at the shop.
- You sent him out? - WeII, yeah.
There wasn't that much to do today.
Can't do any digging on game day, right, coach?
You come with me.
- Hey, I was just Ieaving. - You finish that CheveIIe?
It's parked out back.
Taking her down to EI Paso tonight.
- What, you cIosing earIy? - Yeah.
Yeah, I gotta get to the schooI before the game.
I Ieft my geometry book in my Iocker.
It's after 6, man. The schooI's Iocked up for sure.
Not for me, it ain't.
The 0 and 3 start isn't what Coach ChaImers had in mind going into...
...Sinai's Iast home game before their road trip.
Hey, Cary, up here.
I'II check on them at haIftime, okay?
Move, come on. Let them sit.
You two be good.
Yeah. Go, team, go.
Okay, guys.
Let's go.
Hodges gets the caII from ChaImers.
Tigers Iine up with one in the backfieId.
FumbIe off the snap.
Ducks' baII.
Turnovers have been costIy this year for the Tigers.
They're averaging just over three a game.
Here you go.
- Look what I found. - What?
- Where were they? - Down in the student section.
GirIs, what were you doing down there? GirIs?
- It was Cary's idea. - What was? Cary, what?
- We wanted to get our faces painted. - I toId you to stay with Miss PearI.
- Do you remember that? - She smeIIed bad.
I don't care how she smeIIed.
It's okay. I can watch them for the rest of the game.
- No, reaIIy. You don't have to do that. - I know.
And I can paint your faces.
You're sure? AII right. Okay. Thank you very much, reaIIy.
How's the game, girIs?
- Good. - Good.
Okay. There you go.
Come on, girIs. Your brother's gotta work.
Be good.
Are you Seth's girIfriend?
As we take this time now,,,
,,,we'd like to mention our sponsor tonight, Lucky Lots,
Stop by their lot today to find all the best deals,,,
,,,for your next vehicle,
Take your sister inside.
Just brush your teeth and go right to bed, okay?
At Ieast your mother kept everything.
- What are you Iooking for? - My footbaII trophies.
"Most Improved PIayer."
"Best Receiver, 2A RegionaIs."
That one's mine.
You know, I found him.
Dad?
- Where is he? - AshIand Park Cemetery, OkIahoma.
- He's dead? - Yup, about two months ago.
A heart attack.
- At Ieast that's what his wife said. - Wife?
I guess you didn't know him quite as good as I did.
He was more into making famiIies than he was keeping them.
What about the house and the girIs?
I reckon you got a month or two before the bank kicks you out.
And then Linda can Iook after the girIs just Iike good oId times.
She'II be no better to them than she was with me.
- What are we gonna do? - "We"?
"We." Where do you find a "we" in aII this?
I ain't your famiIy.
- Where are you going? - I'm going home...
...and back to my Iife.
Keith.
Look, you wanna know the truth?
For the Iongest time...
...I never even considered us brothers.
We ain't never had nothing in common except for a Iousy excuse for a dad.
And now we ain't even got that.
See you around, Seth.
I'm looking for a Mr, Gates,
Yeah, yeah, I caIIed earIier. I had asked about a Ioan.
And don't forget to buy your homecoming dance tickets by Friday,
Okay.
WeII, what time do you aII stay open untiI?
No, no, that's fine. It's just that, I mean, I have schooI.
High schooI, yes.
Okay, weII, do you know what time he'II be in?
Yes, yes, I'II hoId.
- Hey. Sorry I'm Iate, I had to-- - Just grab a pipe over there.
- Does it matter? - Nope, either one.
So you don't speak Spanish, huh?
Thanks....
Thanks for fixing the water pump.
Thanks for covering for me.
How was EI Paso?
I don't wanna taIk about it.
What's going on?
I had an idea.
We're not getting matching tattoos, no.
- Your schooI just changed safes. - What?
In McKnight's office, under his desk, he keeps a safe...
...where they keep aII the schooI's short cash. And they just repIaced it.
How do you know?
My cousin did the paperwork. You stiII got that key, right?
- No. - Crap.
- Look, just hear me out, okay? - I'm not robbing a schooI.
- But it'II be easy. - For what?
They probabIy got a coupIe hundred bucks in there.
You'd be better off roIIing first-graders for their Iunch money.
They keep concessions and ticket saIes in there in cash.
Homecoming? I mean, that's 10, 20 grand.
You can't be serious.
There's no way. I mean, you get caught jaywaIking.
Look, I have the reset combo.
I know exactIy where it is.
AII I need is for you to heIp me get inside.
I'm not heIping you out.
WeII, if you're scared, I mean, I couId just take the key.
- I'II do it myseIf. - I ain't scared.
I'm just not robbing the schooI.
You don't need the money?
Stay out of it.
Seth, I'm sorry.
Hey, I'm sorry, man. I just had a rough night.
Look, just forget I said it, aII right?
Okay, you two, I think it's ready.
Mary, heIp your sister.
Mary.
- She's mad at you. - Why are you mad at me?
- Why is she mad at me? - You bought the wrong kind of macaroni.
- What kind do I usuaIIy buy? - You usuaIIy buy stars.
And she won't eat noodIes?
WeII, this is what's for dinner so if you don't Iike it, then....
HeIIo, Seth.
Hi, pastor.
- What are you doing here? - WeII, my wife was baking...
- ...and she got a IittIe carried away. - Are those cookies?
You girIs Iike chocoIate chip?
So much for dinner.
- Oh, I'm sorry. - It's aII right.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
Look, I heard about your dad.
I'm so sorry, Seth.
I thought you might want this.
If you want Ruth and me to Iook after the girIs for a bit--
No.
We couId do a service for your dad at your mom's.
I'm sure his new wife took care of that.
You know, it's okay to ask for heIp.
That's what we're aII here for.
You don't have to be aIone on this.
- I don't reaIIy have a choice. - If you reach out--
Can God make my house payments?
- Seth-- - Thanks for the cookies.
Pizza and soda pop.
Somebody is having themseIves a party tonight.
What time shouId I come over?
You're right, you're right.
We shouId Iearn to appreciate inteIIect before we Iet the physicaI take over.
I Iearned that from Cosmopolitan,
Bye, sugar.
I'II see you Iater, Rose.
Cosmopolitan, what do they know?
Keith, hey, it's Seth.
Just Iisten, okay?
Thursday the 28th at 10:30.
Yes, yes, in the morning.
AII right, you got it?
AII right, because I made an appointment. It's at the bank.
Keith.
PIease.
Look, it'II take haIf an hour and that's it.
AII right, did you write it down?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, aII right, bye, Seth.
I saw you Ieaving the bar Iast week.
You drink there a Iot?
I've been in there a few times. I don't drink though.
No way.
A man with that many tattoos drinks.
Not everyone Iooks Iike what they are, Seth.
- So how'd you end up here? - What, in Sinai?
Yeah, Iike mopping fIoors and stuff.
I was just passing through...
...saw that they needed some heIp at the schooI.
Yeah, Sinai's a shortcut to nowhere.
No one passes through.
Where'd you come from?
Nowhere in particuIar.
WeII, you're fuII of specifics.
If you're headed past the junction, my house is on the way.
Sure.
Yeah, this is me.
- Nice. - Yeah.
The terror twins from Texas.
ActuaIIy, they're great.
Any sibIings?
I had a brother.
I better get inside.
Yeah, I'II see you tomorrow.
What are you two up to?
- Hey, coach. - Scotch and water. Easy on the water.
Rough night, huh?
Rough season.
Keep them coming.
You Iike Scotch?
I'm aII right.
Max, get him one too.
Here.
It's AbeI, right?
Yes, sir.
You know, you must have pIayed some baII, a man your size.
A IittIe.
You any good?
You know, I gotta go. It's getting Iate.
Oh, come on now, don't be rude.
A man drinking with a friend is out having a good time.
But a man drinking aIone is just an aIcohoIic.
Sit down.
To new friends in strange pIaces.
You Iike being a janitor?
It's good work.
Yeah, it is.
I gotta say, you've done a good job with the fieId.
And you put up with McArdIe.
Seth's been good.
He just needed to be given a chance.
No, that kid's had every chance in the worId.
Before I Ieft for Austin, I used to coach an under-14 Ieague here.
Seth was my quarterback.
He didn't teII you that, did he?
Boy, did I put in some time on him.
He had an arm strong as any I've ever seen.
I'd been foIIowing him since he was 7 years oId.
But that famiIy of his.
One day, he didn't come to practice.
Then before Iong, he just quit me.
FootbaII wouId have done so much for that boy.
WeII....
You're aII right, AbeI.
And now the moment of truth:
The waIk home.
Come on, you guys, Iet's go!
He shouIdn't pat the baII Iike that. It makes him a good target.
That's the Ieast of his worries.
He was the one fighting you?
Yeah.
And two of the guards...
...the center and the tight end, I think.
You don't beIieve much in odds, do you?
If they're aIways bad, I figure why Iook?
I don't know, maybe you shouId.
I mean, that kid, he's just been whaIing on me since before I couId waIk.
I mean...
...we just kind of come from different pIaces and that's how it is.
I didn't start this fight. I'm just kind of a part of it.
Did you ever think of not fighting back?
It's kind of hard when you're the one getting hit.
He wouIdn't expect it though.
No, I guess he wouIdn't.
Someone go get that baII.
You trying to show off, princess?
Reset! Throw it again!
Nice throw.
I got Iucky.
What are you waiting for?
- Hey. - Hi.
Did your car get home?
- Yeah. - Good.
So I don't know if you want to--
- Yeah. - Okay.
AII right, when-- What time?
Seven?
Okay, that's a good time.
- Yeah. - Okay.
Okay.
- Okay. - Thank you.
You're weIcome. Bye, Seth.
See you.
So...
...what are you doing Saturday night?
- We're waiting. - We're waiting.
AII right.
WeII, what do you think?
You're both grounded.
- Hey. - Hey.
AII right, girIs, this is AbeI.
He's gonna be watching you untiI I get back so be good, okay?
So, what do I do?
WeII, they're scared of you so that's good.
If they're hungry, there's sandwiches in the fridge, okay?
What if they're not hungry?
Then see if they wanna watch a movie. Look, I gotta go.
Yeah, but....
Yeah?
Are you a giant?
This is good.
I stiII can't beIieve that of aII the pIaces we couId have gone...
...you picked the hot dog stand.
WeII, I can't beIieve that you ordered a saIad.
I eat hot dogs aII day at work.
Oh, right.
- Can I ask you something? - Sure.
Why did you say yes?
- You're asking me this now? - Yeah, I can't figure it out.
I don't know, it sounded interesting.
I don't know how to take that.
- Take is as a compIiment. - Because untiI a few weeks ago...
...you wouIdn't have said more than a coupIe words to me.
Why'd you ask me out?
Because I didn't think you'd say yes.
Why not?
You know why.
Because I wouIdn't go out with a guy that orders a saIad.
- I'm serious though. - I don't know.
I saw you at a game with your sisters...
...and I reaIized that I knew nothing about you.
I mean, we've known each other since I moved here...
...but I didn't know much more than what I had heard other peopIe say.
So I thought, "Maybe I shouId give him a chance."
So I did.
You wanna get out of here?
Yeah.
You did not sign my yearbook.
No, no, no, I swear I did.
I wrote, "Have a wonderfuI summer." Yeah.
Oh, weII, that's so originaI. How couId I forget?
Did you sign your name?
- No, I don't think I did. - Katie?
- What are you two doing here? - Just hanging out.
CouId we get a ride? Josh was supposed to pick us up, but he got caIIed in for work.
Yeah, of course.
Sure.
It was a IittIe more than Daddy said I couId spend...
...but once I tried it on, I knew I needed it.
So did y'aII get your dresses yet?
I'm stiII waiting on the boys to decide on a coIor.
I know they'II pick something awfuI.
You get your dress yet?
- I'm stiII deciding. - You better decide soon.
BiIIy said he'II match what you're wearing.
Hey, Seth, what coIor do you think Katie shouId wear?
I think she Iooks good in aII of them.
Lemonade?
Thanks.
How were they?
They taIk a Iot.
We watched Harry The Hippo,
- How many times? - Six.
Yeah.
So, what happened tonight?
Nothing.
- You aII right? - Yeah.
The whoIe thing was a mistake anyway.
I mean, I've known Katie since she moved here from Austin...
...and it was siIIy for me to think that...
...things wouId suddenIy just be different.
My dad's dead.
I'm sorry to hear that.
But the weird thing is, is I'm not that torn over it.
But a part of me is missing the thought that there was gonna be someone...
...that's gonna take care of things.
It's probabIy a chiIdish thing to say.
- When did you find out? - Just a few weeks ago.
Do you beIieve in God?
Yes.
How about Jesus?
I do.
So then, Iike whatever you've done...
...or whatever mistakes you've made, Iike he forgives that, right?
Yes.
But it doesn't mean that we forgive ourseIves.
We aII make mistakes, Seth...
...and most of the time, we don't feeI we have a choice.
But you aIways have a choice.
My dad used to say:
"The way is narrow."
- What does that mean? - It's a BibIe verse.
It means that there are a Iot of ways to be wrong...
...but there's onIy one way to be right.
How do you know the right way?
It's usuaIIy the hardest.
Thanks for the Iemonade.
No running. No running, boys.
My beard itches.
EIi, if you don't scratch it, it's not gonna itch, okay?
- Okay. - See? Good. What?
- Have you seen our brother? - No, I haven't.
But you need to get into position.
And try to be happy because it's Thanksgiving.
Thanks, man. I know that was a drive.
Sure thing.
Hey, don't forget this.
We'd make a good team.
I couId heIp you out a Iot.
Gotta go.
- Hi. - Hi. That'II be $3.
Oh, okay, you're not gonna beIieve this, but I Ieft my waIIet in my other pants.
Okay, aII right, you're not gonna beIieve this.
You know, if it's just $3--
I'm reaIIy sorry, I'm reaIIy gonna have to ask you to find your waIIet.
But you see, my sisters, they're--
I'm reaIIy sorry.
Okay.
Man, you McArdIes have no Iuck.
Hey, guys.
So....
What's this I hear about you taking Katie out?
I don't wanna fight you, BiIIy.
I mean, you know.... I don't wanna fight you either.
Everybody in first positions, okay? First position.
- Ladies and gentIemen, take your seats. - Okay, smiIe.
- Get them! BiIIy. - Come on, you IittIe girI.
What's wrong? Fight back!
- Fight back! - What are you doing?
- What's the matter with you? - Coach, come on.
Let him go! Get out of here, Seth, now.
- Come on, man. Let me go. - Shut up, BiIIy.
I said shut up!
We bring you gifts of rice...
...corn, rice....
Corn and....
Squash.
I know that.
AII right.
The voice mailbox belonging to:
- Keith McArdle, - Is full, Please try your call later,
Just another day or two and then we'II be done.
You going to that dance tonight?
No.
I got a hot date with two brunettes instead.
- PIease? - Fine, but these are the Iast two...
...that you get, okay?
Hey, what's that?
Can I see?
It's for you.
Do you Iike the picture?
Hi.
Are you aII right?
That's a siIIy question.
Do you wanna taIk about it?
No.
WouId you Iike to roast marshmaIIows with us?
If that's aII right?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's fine.
Sit here. First, you get a stick.
You can borrow mine for now, but you gotta get your own.
Hi.
You're awake.
I don't think I can move though.
Do you hate me?
No.
No, I don't hate you.
Just....
- Everybody expected that BiIIy and I-- - It's okay.
No, it's not.
I taIk Iike I'm so different.
I'm sorry.
- What are you doing here? - Nice to see you too.
Did you Iook at this?
No.
It was just Iaying out here.
- I gIanced at it for Iike a second. - WeII, you shouIdn't have.
I'm sorry. It wasn't my business.
I'm just not used to seeing peopIe up here, you know?
You caught me off guard.
Yeah.
AbeI, wouId you mind joining me somewhere?
I come up here on her birthday.
I used to come a Iot more, but....
My mom, she was....
She was reaI active in the church.
So when she got bad, they....
They asked her where she wanted to be put and....
I mean, that's aII they couId do for her.
On one of her Iast good days...
...she came out here and she picked this spot.
I remember I asked her why, since it's far away...
...from everyone eIse...
...and she said that at midday, when it's the hottest...
...this tree right here wouId provide some shade...
...so that when we aII came to visit her...
...we'd stay cooI.
I onIy come out on her birthday.
My dad was supposed to go right next to her.
You're trying, Seth. That's aII you can do.
I'm sure that's what she wouId have wanted.
I don't know how Iong I can keep going.
I know it's not my pIace, but...
...have you tried asking him for heIp?
Not you too.
Don't take it the wrong way.
How you taIk to God, it ain't nobody's business but your own.
But if I've Iearned one thing...
...it's that you have to be honest when you're taIking to him.
I mean deep down honest.
Otherwise you're just going through the motions.
Above aII things...
...he knows.
He knows a Iot.
How do you know when you're being that honest?
For me, it came when I had nothing Ieft.
Come on, Keith.
The voice mailbox belonging to:
- Keith McArdle, - Is full,
PIease Iet this work.
Are you sure you don't want a drink of water, honey?
No, thank you, ma'am.
Do you give out a Iot?
- What? - A Iot of Ioans?
Mr. Gates, does he give out a Iot?
That depends.
Is there anything that I can say that might heIp?
Like, anything that he Iikes or...?
He Iikes footbaII.
FootbaII.
Yes, sir.
AII right.
Mr. Gates wiII see you now.
Okay.
Thank you.
I thought there was gonna be two of you.
- Seth, right? - Yes, sir.
PIease sit.
It was my brother, and he couIdn't make it.
- Something came up. - WeII, I'm sorry to hear that.
- Isn't this a schooI day? - Yes, sir. I have a pass.
I don't have to be in tiII about 12, so....
WeII, what can I do for you?
WeII, I need another Ioan.
It's for my house.
You see, I make about 250 a week.
And with the government checks, that puts us in at about three.
And now I can afford a 400-a-month payment.
And-- Oh, yeah, and these are the pay stubs from Nate Jones.
And I can give you references from my two jobs.
WeII, three, actuaIIy.
I'm afraid there's been a mistake.
What? If I missed something, I'm sure I have...
- ...whatever it is. - No. It's my mistake.
I think I misunderstood your phone caII.
I thought you were coming down here to pay your dad's Iate fees.
The 8000.
Yeah, I don't have the 8000.
But what I'm showing you here is that...
- ...I can make these payments. - It's too Iate.
- What do you mean? - UnIess you can come up with the 8000...
...for the Iate fees, it doesn't matter about the payments.
Then where are we supposed to go?
What?
- I'm sorry to bother you. - Are you?
The fieId's done.
- It's done? - Yes, sir.
Where's Seth?
I sent him home.
Yeah, he's probabIy eager to get out of here.
WeII, good job.
I take it you're fine with resuming your previous duties.
Yeah, I guess.
Anything eIse?
No, sir.
AbeI, how wouId you feeI about coming on...
...as a permanent groundskeeper?
I thought so.
There's no need to thank me, you earned it.
OnIy thing is, I started your paperwork...
...and your name and sociaI didn't come up in the system.
ProbabIy it's just some mistake. I teII you what.
Why don't you go down to the sherifs? He does aII our fingerprinting for us.
They're expecting you today, and they'II get it sorted out.
Fingerprinted?
Yeah. WeII, everybody that's fuII-time has to do it.
Seth.
I need your heIp.
I'm Iosing the house.
AII this work and it's been for nothing.
It's not. It's not aII for nothing.
Where are you going?
You're Ieaving.
- You're Ieaving, aren't you? - Seth.
I don't have a choice.
"Don't have a choice"?
So aII that stuff that you said to me...
...it doesn't appIy to you?
- Was anything you said true? - Yes, of course it was.
Yeah? Yeah, where's the proof?
And you?
I hope you don't think I shouId use you as this exampIe...
...because you're taking the easy way out now, aren't you?
Aren't you?
You wouIdn't understand.
"WouIdn't understand"?
Have you had to support your kid sisters...
...whiIe your father abandons you to marry another woman?
Have you had a brother who's hated you his whoIe Iife for no reason at aII?
- You know nothing about me. - ExactIy.
Because you taIk a Iot, a whoIe Iot, about being honest.
These Iife Iessons that your famiIy taught you and--
And you don't know the first thing about Iiving them.
Because you Iive your Iife just taking the easy path.
Running from something. You're aIways running.
You aren't truthfuI.
Not truthfuI to me, not to yourseIf and definiteIy not to him...
...because you don't care about anyone but yourseIf!
You know nothing about me!
Nothing!
Seth. Seth. Seth. Seth, I'm sorry. Seth!
Turn it down.
I said, turn it down!
Hey, Netty.
Yeah, I'm in.
You going somewhere, honey?
Our time-share in the Keys or the viIIa on the French Riviera?
Seven doIIars.
Is everything aII right, hon?
AII right.
See you soon?
Goodbye, Rose.
It's just over two hours till kickoff, in what should prove to be,,,
,,,a hard test for our embattled Tigers,
The topic on everyone's mind is Coach Chalmers' surprising move,,,
,,,to bench senior quarterback Billy Hodges,,,
,,,in favor of his up-and-coming sophomore, Danny Landers,
- Are we going to the game? - No.
Just go back to sIeep.
Let's go.
The teams take the field, We are moments away,,,
,,,from the Sinai Tigers' annual homecoming--
AII right.
They do their main drop-off after haIftime.
So...
...after that, we'II go.
What about your concessions gig?
I cut back my hours.
When you're looking for a used car,,,
- AII right. - ,,,head on down to Lucky Lots where,,,
,,,everyone is a valued customer,
The pass is batted away by....
BaII's Ioose. There's a piIeup. It Iooks Iike the Hornets got to it first.
We got these guys.
- Let's go! We got time Ieft. - Six-twenty-three Ieft.
He has a man deep. It's caught! Touchdown!
There.
AII right.
Put your game face on.
Okay. AII right, Iet's go.
Come on, man.
Seth, Iook, come on!
I can't, man.
What? ReaIIy? Now?
You don't owe these peopIe anything.
- I can't. - You mean you won't.
Okay, then I won't.
- Give it to me! - No!
I need this.
Give me the code number.
- Move! - What?
Hey! Hey!
I couIdn't do it. I swear.
Coach ChaImers has aII the time....
I heIped Netty break in. I did...
...but then I couIdn't.
And he tried to take my key and--
I know I shouId have done more to-- I'm so stupid!
I shouIdn't have even been there.
WouId you say something?
I'm proud of you.
What?
I'm proud of you.
Did you hear me? I heIped Netty break in.
I was right there with him.
You aIso said that you stopped...
...and you tried to stop him.
You're gonna be okay, Seth.
Look, I gotta go. I have to.
- Don't. - Look, it's-- Don't worry.
When I'm gone, they'II bIame me for the break-in. So just Iet them.
But I can't. I'm not gonna Iet you....
Wait, why?
I haven't been compIeteIy honest with you.
I Iied about one thing.
AbeI...
...was my brother's name.
I wish I couId say that his death was an accident...
...but it wasn't. See, I wanted him dead.
That's why I kiIIed him.
I kiIIed my own brother.
The rage that I had, the jeaIousy....
You know, it was just gnawing at me so deep.
And I just thought that....
I thought there was no other way.
After that night, I ran. You see, I--
I've been running ever since.
And I know that God has forgiven me, but I...
...never forgave myseIf.
I'm so tired.
I can stop running now.
WeII, where you gonna go?
I'm going home.
Yeah, I'm going home.
Thank you.
AbeI.
Cary! Mary!
Keith! Where's Keith?!
- What did you do with them? - Get out of here, Seth.
- Where are they?! - Take it easy, man.
Where are my sisters?
- Aunt Linda's. - Why?
I taIked to the bank and they said the pIace needed to be vacant. Now it is.
Look, it was either Linda's or they go to the state.
And where were you?
Yeah, that's right.
- Get out of here, Seth. - Or what?
Or I'II make you Ieave.
You know, it must feeI good...
...ruining the Iives of two 7-year-oIds.
Go, Tigers!
I know....
I know that I've asked you for stuff before.
And I know that I don't deserve anything.
But pIease...
...I need your heIp.
They're aII I've got Ieft.
They're aII I've got.
Don't forget about us.
Seth. What is it?
- Can I come in? - Yeah.
- What are you doing here? - I'm here for my sisters.
- Wait a minute-- - Let's taIk for a minute.
I stiII don't get it.
- This is my right hand. - Yup.
- This is my Ieft hand. - Yup.
Now which is which?
They're stiII the same.
- Hi. - Hi.
I was in the neighborhood. Thought I'd stop by.
Are those cookies?
Yeah.
- Sorry. - No, it's aII right. Thank you.
You Iiking your new pIace?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It stiII feeIs kind of new, you know.
But I mean, you know, we're getting there.
That's good.
So, what you got there?
Church donations.
Pastor DanieIs asked if I couId bring them by.
And I got your maiI.
Thanks.
Do you wanna join us for Iunch?
I don't know, what are you making?
Hot dogs, of course.
- WeII, then of course. - Do you wanna see our room?
- Yeah. - You don't--
Seth, when I came here, I was a different man,,,
,,,haunted by the past,
I thought I had to be alone,
That it was my punishment,
These drawings were all I had,,,
,,,and I poured my life into them instead of people,
You showed me that I don't need them anymore,
In a few days, I'll be home, I don't know what's left of the farm,,,
,,,or if my family's still there, or even if they'd have me,
I don't know what God has planned and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared,,,
,,,but I know I'm not alone,
He is always with me,
Just remember, Seth, no matter what happens,,,
,,,no matter how dark it gets,,,
,,,he's with you too,
