Not... tell... lies...
I... will...
not...
So, who to beat?
Hold on I'm concentrating.
But I can beat the champ.
Shut up Charlie.
- Shit!
6 seconds. Not bad.
I've done 10 before.
No you haven't.
- Yes I have.
Done it the other day.
You've never
played the game Charlie.
Know what I heard?
I heard we ain't gonna have
to go back to school in the Fall.
An objector broke through a window
a couple of nights ago.
Cops found him dead
in one of the classrooms.
They don't want
nobody going in there!
That wasn't even 3!
It was at least 5!
You count too slow.
Keep dreaming.
- Let me go again.
Maddy Mayweather
that's who I'd pick!
Fatty Maddy?
She ain't that fat.
Besides,
she's got a pretty face.
What about the braces?
What about them.
Tongues
gonna get stuck in them.
Why would I use my tongue?
That's how folks kiss.
No it's not.
I kissed a girl
with my tongue one time.
Shut up Charlie.
Well I ain't kissing
no girl with my tongue.
She wants to kiss me,
she's gotta know that up front.
Wanna know who I'd kiss?
I don't think we asked you.
Thought we were all playing.
Fine.
I'd kiss Mrs. Dunwoody.
Who?
Liza Dunwoody?
Yup.
Cyclops?
Don't call her that.
She's...
old.
She's the prettiest
woman in town.
Even prettier than
Maddy Mayweather.
Well at least
Maddy's in my grade.
You know how
she lost her eye, don't you?
No.
I heard she was running through
the corn fields out by her house.
Tripped on a
stake or something.
Landed smack dab
on a spike.
Ripped her eye
right out.
Her husband found it
in the dirt, rinsed it off and
took her to the hospital.
The doctor even tried
putting it back in.
There was no hope
though.
She was just born that way.
Not what I heard.
Maybe if she had braces,
you would take a liking to her.
Mom!
Charlie, leave your brother alone.
I ain't doing nothing.
Charles?
What,
I said I ain't doing nothing.
I'm standing right here.
You think I don't have eyes?
I can see what you are doing!
Why don't you go outside.
[Charlie:] There ain't nothing
to do out there
There isn't anything to do.
What?
Why don't you both go outside?
Go for a run or something.
Yeah Charlie.
Maybe you can run off
some of that fat.
Neal!
What?
It's the truth, he's fat.
Apologize.
It's not like I'm lying,
look at him!
I ain't fat, I'm husky,
that's what mom always says.
What do you think
husky means, dumbass!
Neal, that's enough!
Yeah, that's enough.
Hey!
Take it there is
$5.00 on that counter
and go to the store.
And you get me some milk
and a dozen eggs.
My word, I hope you boys
are better behaved than this
when your grandmother
comes tomorrow.
Mom!
- Not,
another word.
Now git! Go on!
Git!
And I better have change
when you get back.
You hear me!
Where you going?
Through the woods,
it's shorter.
Plus,
I need to get something.
Neal,
what happens when you pray?
What do you mean?
Well, I see you
and momma doing it all the time.
What do you do?
I don't know.
Talk to God.
Go on about your day.
Does he talk back to you?
Doesn't work like that.
Then how does it work then?
Charlie I don't know!
Mom said
if you are ever in trouble,
He is the one to talk to.
What does mom
pray about?
Help with you.
What are we doing here?
Had to get this.
Jerky.
You brought us here
for Jerky.
What? I was getting hungry.
Where did this come from anyway?
I made it.
With what?
A hammer.
You have never
held a hammer before.
Yes I have.
Hi.
Hi.
You're the Freeman kid, right?
Neal.
Right.
This is my brother Charlie.
Hey Charlie.
Hello.
Can you boys
help me with something?
What?
I need a place to hide is all.
Somewhere where
they can't find me.
Like hide and go seek?
Kind of.
You know
any good hiding spots?
Well, you got
this bunker right here.
I made it myself.
- No, you didn't.
I did.
- No you didn't.
That will be fine.
Anybody comes
looking for me.
You tell them
you ain't seen me?
Sure, yeah.
Charlie!
You ain't saying nothing, okay?
Say it.
Fine, I won't say nothing.
Howdy there boys.
What you all no good?
Going to get some groceries.
What is your names?
Neal.
That is my brother Charlie.
You all ain't
the Freeman kids are you?
Yes sir.
Well I'll be.
I ain't see you all
since you was this high.
Yes sir.
I didn't know
your daddy that well.
It's a shame, no man
deserves to go like that.
How old are you all?
And you?
Is that right?
Yup.
Next year gonna start my driving.
How come you ain't
got no hair on your face?
Shaved it.
He don't tell the truth a lot.
No, I reckon not.
Oh well, mister
we... we best...
be getting on our way.
Momma's going to be shouting.
Hey, hold up a
second there.
Why you all going through
the woods to get groceries?
Shorter!
Well may be but...
woods ain't no place
for young ones like you.
You all know that.
Hey, I ain't young.
It could be dangerous is all.
I mean
if I ain't had to be out here
I would not be out here
all on my lonesome.
So... why are you out here?
Well
now that you mention it,
I am looking for somebody.
You all ain't seen anybody
besides me
in these here parts
have you?
It is real important
I find him.
No, no sir, it's... just
me and my brother.
Ain't that right?
Yeah, we ain't seen her.
How did you know
I was looking for a woman?
Just...
- Speak up boy.
Probably just a good
good guess. Right Charlie?
You seen her, ain't you?
You seen my wife.
No. No sir.
- No.
Don't you lie to me boy.
I ain't lying.
No sir. It was
probably just a great guess.
He is... he is a little slow.
Hey, I ain't slow!
Stay where you are.
Hey!
I said stay where you are boy.
Now you listen up
I ain't got time
to dick around with you.
Where is she at?
I don't know.
He does not know,
I already told you!
I ain't one to be
messed with, boy.
You lie
to me again
I will slice that tongue
in two. You understand?
So?
What is he doing?
He is praying.
Tell him to stop it.
Stop it!
I said stop it!
Last chance boy.
Hello sweetheart.
No...
Just a shame is what it is.
I know mom.
And her so purty too.
Every time I look around
it seems like
this person has done
killed that person,
that person has done
attacked this person.
Like we ain't got
no sense of humanity left.
I'll tell you one thing,
if your Paw was still alive
he would have had none of it!
I am just glad I ain't raising
children in this day and time.
Raising two boys
is hard enough as it is.
And then when you
got to do it on your own.
And with all this
ugliness around you.
There's violent folks
everywhere mama.
It's not like
you can run away from it.
It is just a shame is all.
Raising children
in this God forsaken place.
Ain't envious Mary Lee.
I know mama
and in your time.
Lord knows it ain't my time.
Well,
Good morning sugar.
Good morning.
You want some grits?
Sure.
Sit down
I will fix you a bowl.
Where is your brother?
Sleeping I think.
Charlie?
(Local woman found dead)
Where are you going?
Neal!
That is more like it.
Where are they all going?
The cemetery.
The same place all dead people go.
Idiot.
Know what I heard?
I heard when they found her body
they did not find a head.
So they put her
in the coffin without one.
That's why they did not open
the casket at the funeral.
Well, there is nothing else to
see here.
Neal?
Neal it wasn't my fault.
Was it?
Neal,
can you tell me
it wasn't my fault.
Neal.
Neal!
Now tell me
it wasn't my fault.
Neal.
The End
