I can't do this anymore. What?
0:25
This. What mornings?
0:27
No, all of this. You mean the deal?
0:32
Afraid So what? Do you mean you you need better
0:34
pay different hours? No, nothing like that.
0:37
I'm just, you know, done with this.
0:44
OK, you want to. No.
0:51
Suit yourself. So you you're done.
0:56
You do understand what that means, right?
1:06
Yeah, yeah, I do. I don't think you do.
1:11
I do. And you still think you can quit
1:13
It's. A free country?
1:17
This isn't that kind of job. I know, but all the same I am
1:25
done. Nothing I can do to change your
1:28
mind. Nope.
1:35
Well, let's go get some coffee. Talk things over.
1:40
Come on. Smells delicious as always.
1:58
Ah, Sadie was the real cook. Hey, don't sell yourself short.
2:03
Not much that's better than your home cooked eggs.
2:05
Hope you don't mind, I left out the bell Peppers this time.
2:10
Can't stand them. Me neither.
2:15
Not to change the subject, but how long we've been doing this
2:19
for you think? 15 years just about.
2:26
Summer of 78 Why did we meet? What was it?
2:35
Needed the scratch. What did you need the scratch
2:38
for again? Wasn't too popular with the
2:40
folks back home. Had to make ends meet.
2:44
And Bill needed surgery you couldn't afford.
2:47
Yes. Well, here's what I remember.
2:50
I had a problem that night and Jimmy was trying to help me
2:53
solve that problem. When who should come in through
2:56
that door but you? Jimmy was always bragging about
3:03
connections back home. I thought he could help.
3:07
Jimmy knew we could help each other, so he called up Tony.
3:12
We agreed. Made a deal.
3:15
We all agreed. Anyone ever tell you you're no
3:19
good at making coffee? Sadie did all the time.
3:26
Thought you'd have got it better by now.
3:28
Well, Sadie made the coffee, I made the bacon.
3:31
It's a good bacon. You know, when I was a kid.
3:37
How about pigs? We're all pink with curly tails.
3:39
Yorkshire's are mine, a red waddle American breed.
3:43
Not a lot of them out there, you know.
3:46
That's so. Always thought it'd be nice, you
3:50
know, to raise pigs. That was different.
3:52
I had some Yorkies way back. Must have been, I don't know,
3:56
before the service. Long time ago.
4:00
Well, I'm an old man. You and me both.
4:05
So why the Wattles Funny name? Like I said, American breed
4:12
nearly went extinct. Thought I'd do my part to keep
4:15
them alive. And that tastes good.
4:18
You aren't wrong, you know. The other day I was reading the
4:21
paper. Look at you, an intellectual.
4:27
Maybe. Maybe.
4:28
Anyways, I read that pigs were as smart as us.
4:33
You believe that? You going somewhere with this?
4:40
Nah, just thinking about my food.
4:42
What's there to think about? Nothing I suppose, just never
4:47
thought about it before. Do you think the pigs know?
4:49
Know what? That their food.
4:52
All pigs don't think like that. How do you know?
4:54
Because I know. Pigs.
4:56
Pigs ain't like us. Well, sure, they're smart, they
5:00
eat, they sleep, But they do not plan.
5:02
They don't think about the future.
5:05
And I suppose you do. Every man does.
5:08
I think I'm just about finished up here.
5:11
What do you say I? What do you say I accompany you
5:14
today? How do you reckon?
5:19
My visits are always so short. Figured I could help you out
5:23
with some chores. Maybe figure out what's going on
5:25
with your little sports truck in the garage.
5:27
Long as you're OK with shovel and manure first.
5:30
What about your sidekick? Protege.
5:34
When I retire, he'll be the man you'll be dealing with.
5:37
Good guy, smart, discreet, ambitious.
5:41
Like you, I guess. But listen, I told you already,
5:48
I'm quitting. We'll see.
6:09
I've always wondered what was in this shack.
6:11
Have you now figured it was just some old shack at first, but
6:15
every time I asked what was in there.
6:17
You haven't been forthcoming. I have not, no.
6:20
Tried to take a look in the window once.
6:22
Did you now? Tada.
6:30
Beautiful, right? Pop machines here.
6:33
I figured you had a deep dark secret.
6:36
We have a deep dark secret. This here is one of my hobbies.
6:41
What collecting them? Well, sure, I collected my gas,
6:44
but that's not really the point. Is there a point to any hobby?
6:47
Japan. What I meant was that it's no
6:50
fun to just collect them. I I fix them up, that's where
6:53
the real fun is. Makes sense?
7:02
You look like you look like you want to ask me something.
7:06
Why pop machines? I like a good soda pop.
7:10
And the jump from that to having a bunch of machines in a blacked
7:13
out shed. We used to work at the town
7:15
library after school and somebody thought it would be a
7:19
good idea to put in a pop machine. 5051 thereabouts.
7:26
Anyways, it was cantankerous, as these things tended to be,
7:30
especially back then. And Missus, oh, Missus Olson,
7:35
she was the librarian at the time, knew I was handy, asked me
7:39
to fix it. And you've been fixing pop
7:42
machines ever since, yeah. Not exactly.
7:45
Didn't think much of it for years until after some time I
7:48
got back from overseas and I was at this junkyard and I I saw a
7:54
Kruger Schmidt in a. What a.
7:58
Kruger Schmidt, Yeah, jumble the words I know.
8:01
Probably French or something it. Sounds German.
8:05
German. Yeah, that makes sense.
8:07
Anyways, it looks so dilapidated that I just had to take it home
8:11
and fix it. Of course you know how the wife
8:15
is. She just about threw a hissy
8:18
fit. But I But I brought her to this
8:20
here shed and got to work. Fixed her up real nice.
8:24
And then what? Had myself a nice pile and then
8:30
I sold it and figured that was all there was to it.
8:33
But then there was an auction in town and someone was selling a
8:36
pair of vendos. Well, I figured hey, I can fix
8:40
that too. And it snowballed from there.
8:45
That it did. But why?
8:48
It relaxes me. I just, I don't know, soda
8:50
machines. It's an unusual thing for a man
8:52
to want to fix. Don't people get paid to fix
8:55
them? It is unusual, but when the
8:57
mistress and I would get into fights, or when things was bad,
9:01
or I was anxious, when I don't know well, Sadie's sister, once
9:08
she passed, told me that. Told me that it was all right to
9:11
cry, that it wasn't weakness, that it was OK.
9:15
And I remember sitting there in that empty living room with
9:20
everyone murmuring and telling me how sorry they were, and I
9:25
didn't feel like I needed to cry.
9:27
Didn't you miss her of? Course I did, still do, but I
9:32
don't know. Not everybody needs to cry.
9:35
I don't need to cry. I don't get in that way, you
9:37
know, weakness. I don't know what she was
9:40
talking about. Weakness.
9:42
Crying never felt weak to me. That's just not how I am.
9:47
I can't remember the last time I cried there.
9:50
Maybe that movie about the boy and his dogs.
9:53
Always cry over that one. Dogs are good.
9:58
Innocent. Yeah.
9:59
When a dog dies, that always moves me into tears.
10:03
Yeah, but Josie insisted. Then she kept insisting.
10:09
Then. I don't know.
10:11
I think she got offended. I wouldn't cry as if she loved
10:14
Sadie more than me and she made me feel like I was I was
10:18
something wrong. Of course that wasn't true.
10:22
There wasn't nothing wrong with me.
10:23
I just didn't. I, I didn't.
10:26
I wasn't like that. It wasn't what I needed.
10:28
It wasn't how I needed to grieve.
10:30
This is how I grieve. This right here.
10:33
When I got a problem, I fix it. And when I fix it, I fix a
10:36
little part of me, and I don't know how or why, but it's
10:41
healing. It's a healing thing.
10:43
And that's why a man's got to have a hobby.
10:46
Sorry. No, no, it's all right.
10:49
I I figured, you know, I figured if someone's got to know, this
10:56
is my quiet little hobby, a thing I do to help me work out
11:00
my worries. Well, yeah, looks like you fixed
11:04
this one up real nice. I'm proud of it, proud of all of
11:08
them, but I'm proud of this one most.
11:11
Thank you for taking the time to show me.
11:13
Here's here's another reason I wanted to show this to you.
11:18
What's that? If you want it, it's yours.
11:24
What am I going to do with the pop machine wait?
11:27
Grab yourself a nice refreshing drink of soda every so often,
11:30
you big dummy. Wait, I, I, I, I I couldn't
11:34
possibly. Please little memento of our
11:39
time again. Go come on Memento, let's keep
11:44
this train rolling. We can work something out.
11:47
You come on back by, pick up the soda machine, take it home with
11:51
you. Well, don't.
11:53
If you really got no use for it, I won't be offended.
11:57
I think it over. What's next?
12:30
What do you mean it? Just seems, I don't know,
12:33
quaint. Well look around you.
12:35
My nearest neighbor lives so half a mile down the road and
12:39
ain't the city. We don't have nightclubs and
12:41
pool halls to go hang out at. Pool halls.
12:44
What is this, 1890? This is 1992, friend.
12:48
We got shopping malls for teenagers, restaurants, clubs,
12:51
whatever. But pool halls?
12:53
I don't even know if they had those when I was a.
12:55
Kid time doesn't pass out here as quickly I suppose.
13:00
No need for all that stimulation.
13:04
So you play horseshoes? We'll read a good book, develop
13:09
photos you took for yourself, go fly fishing.
13:13
It sounds idyllic, quaint but idyllic and you just want to
13:18
give up this home cooked paradise.
13:25
That's lonely, too. We could get you a nice place in
13:28
the city. Never was one for crowds.
13:31
Thought you said you were lonely.
13:32
I'd be just as lonely in a crowd.
13:35
Sadie, she Nobody else could really see me, understand what I
13:41
was. How do you figure what?
13:47
After Saigon, when I got back, all these people were hugging
13:52
their loved ones or protesting or whatever and I don't know, I
13:59
never felt more alone in all my life.
14:02
I was home. I should have been happy and and
14:06
I wasn't. Well, it wasn't a popular war.
14:10
You lost friends too, right? Yeah, but.
14:15
I got home. Yeah, it was dark, and there was
14:21
Sadie waiting for me, porch light like a Halo around her
14:27
head, and I knew I wasn't alone anymore.
14:33
So you came back to your high school sweetheart?
14:37
I thought. I thought he'd have married her
14:40
by then. I didn't think she'd wait for
14:42
me. Why not?
14:44
You're a handsome guy, but all sorts wanted you, especially
14:47
back then. Women love a man in uniform.
14:53
You see that house on the hill? What the burned out one?
14:58
I always wondered what happened there.
14:59
Gary Gordon of the Gordon family.
15:04
I went to high school with this, but, well, most of us were farm
15:09
folk. Sadie, her dad, was the county
15:12
judge, so for us that's pretty high society.
15:16
The Gordons owned a lot of land and all that passed to Gary
15:20
after his mom died. In high school.
15:23
He'd been our quarterback after his pop paid off the school, but
15:27
he wasn't a bad athlete. Good looking guy.
15:30
A real James Dean and he had asked for Sadie.
15:35
That poor farm boy couldn't play on the team versus the star
15:38
quarterback. Shit, what kind of contest was
15:42
that? Hey, who wouldn't want all this?
15:46
Man, yet when I came home, there she was.
15:51
Where was Gary? He surfed, too.
15:54
Gary was too rich to surf. Star quarterback had some health
15:58
exemption, didn't get drafted. So then, where was he?
16:04
Running his dad's business, trying to win her heart didn't
16:09
work. She invited him to the wedding.
16:13
I didn't want him there. But, well, you know Sadie well.
16:18
Gordon's owned most of the property around here, including
16:21
the 200 acres surrounding that hill.
16:24
Right. And he built a house.
16:26
A house? Wait, that house.
16:29
The very same. Looks like it was a mansion.
16:31
It was. Why did he build it?
16:34
I don't know. To remind her what she'd given
16:37
up, maybe. So what happened to the wealthy
16:40
Gary Gordon in his mansion? Well, he built it one year, must
16:44
have been 1966 or so, and he went inside and he just
16:51
disappeared. Then one night about a year
16:55
later, there was a storm and boom, no more Gary.
17:00
Gordon. No more Gary Gordon.
17:05
Maybe he was lonely too. Maybe.
17:08
Yeah. All right, you win.
17:11
What next, don't you?
17:32
On a tractor. What's that got to do with
17:36
anything? Well, pigs, I guess.
17:39
Goats too. Some fellas have chickens and
17:42
cows. That's all well and good, but
17:45
what's the point of a horse? Horses.
17:48
They're God's most Beautiful Creatures.
17:51
What, you just keep a horse around because they're
17:53
beautiful? Horses belong on farms.
17:56
You know you haven't got a saddle for him, so you don't
18:01
ride them. There's no racehorse.
18:05
Can't eat him. What's the point?
18:08
I don't see the point of farm without a horse.
18:12
God, I have a horse. And what's this about them being
18:17
beautiful? Beautiful, Really beautiful, He
18:20
says. Spindly legs and bloated bellies
18:23
and those weird, weird teeth. Sleep standing up.
18:25
Who's sleep standing up? Something wrong with that?
18:28
Aren't they going to say? Something, one day, one day
18:35
maybe this failure will understand.
18:38
There you go. There you go.
18:42
To me I mean. I keep apples here because he
18:46
likes them. Like the salt lick too?
18:49
Want to feed him one? Nah, I'm good.
18:54
Suit yourself. All righty.
18:56
Here you go, boy. Nah, no.
18:58
I got to get going. Why don't you walk on out to
19:01
pasture? Rest to spell.
19:04
Horses give me the willies. Can't see why.
19:29
You know, back home they call you the pig farmer.
19:32
That description is apartment. And yet you also have goats.
19:36
I do also have goats and a horse and I had a dog.
19:41
Tried cows once. Bill raised a neuter something,
19:45
but I died. Most people have, I don't know,
19:49
chickens and cows. You got goats.
19:53
Is that judgement I hear? No judgement, no, just wondering
19:59
why goats goat milk? There can't be much profit.
20:03
In that, there's enough. Besides, I have you.
20:07
Have you still have? As I've said, no longer
20:12
interested in that particular revenue stream.
20:16
We are the ones who sever ties, and you don't want us severing
20:21
ties. I believe I made myself clear.
20:24
You know, I feel like we've had this conversation a couple of
20:27
Times Now and you still don't seem to get I'm done with this
20:32
line is just going to look really silly at the end of the
20:35
day. You were asking me about goats.
20:38
Yeah, goats. I don't like them.
20:42
They like to play. They'll eat just about anything.
20:45
The milk's an acquired taste, but I've always liked the
20:48
cheese. Meats good with the right Curry.
20:52
A friend taught me that a while back.
20:54
So you like them for the utility?
20:57
I like them because they're playful.
20:59
Want to get started started? Milking.
21:03
Oh, hey. Really, I've always wanted to
21:05
try that. Well, here's your chance.
21:09
My goats are smart. They know what's up.
21:11
So they'll just walk up. Here They are.
21:17
Come on now. They'll just take their
21:20
positions here like they should. Got feet all ready for him.
21:23
Just you take a seat there. Not very comfortable.
21:31
Suppose not. Yeah, now that we're seated, all
21:35
you got to do is grab the teeth with your thumb and forefinger.
21:39
And pull. No, no, no, no pull.
21:43
Just sort of rhythmically squeeze with the rest of your
21:46
fingers, gently pushing the milk out.
21:52
Like this? And just like that, yes, all you
21:56
got to do is do that till the goat's out of milk.
22:00
This is kind of nice. I found it relaxing.
22:03
I think I could get used to this.
22:05
Why don't you say what? Why not get used to this?
22:08
What? And come work with you?
22:10
Sure. Yeah, some folks might take
22:14
issue with that. Can't make everybody happy.
22:18
Better than ending up shop. Hey, hey.
22:37
Oh, gunned down life over just like that.
22:42
I usually get to shoot back well.
22:44
We all wind up dead in the end, don't we?
22:47
I'd. Rather, live as long as
22:48
possible. What good is that living?
22:51
What good is living if you ain't happy?
22:53
Who says I'm not happy? I'm not.
22:55
You could be. I don't think I could.
23:00
Well, that does it for the goats.
23:05
Still thinking about what I've been saying I.
23:08
Haven't stopped. Changed your mind?
23:10
No, no, I have not. What's the wheelbarrow for
23:26
Holland? Holland what?
23:30
Fertilizer. And what are we going to do with
23:34
this fertilizer? We are going to fertilize.
23:37
Well, not now, it's October, but we're going to put in a nice big
23:41
pile where it belongs. We.
23:44
Did say you wanted to help? Yeah, yes, I did.
23:48
So help pick up that shovel over there, we'll shovel it in, wheel
23:53
it out, dump it, and we're good. And you do this.
23:56
Every day. Most every day.
23:59
And you want to keep doing this every day.
24:02
It's my routine. Shoveling shit.
24:05
Someone's got to do it. That that isn't the first time
24:10
you've told me that. Oh yeah.
24:16
Vietnam. Yeah.
24:17
You know, I did some digging on you personally.
24:21
Not the shit kind. You know what I found?
24:24
I reckon you'll tell me. You went back.
24:30
What happened that day in the valley?
24:33
You saw the report, Not going to talk about it.
24:37
Come on. No.
24:40
Suit yourself, but you've got a medal.
24:44
You didn't have to go back. Had a wife and kid here at a
24:48
time where most of us were trying to figure out how to stay
24:50
home. You went back.
24:52
You going somewhere with this? Think it'd be fun if you told me
24:56
why while we're shoveling shit? I was recall, you know, that I
25:01
reckon was in the hospital staring at the ceiling,
25:05
magazines next to me on the bed. And I I had this moment, a
25:14
moment of clarity. A revelation.
25:19
And the revelation was this them protesters weren't doing a damn
25:24
thing. The the hippies and the the
25:27
bands weren't changing anything. You know who was?
25:30
The Vietnamese. The Russians.
25:33
No, no, The news. You hit someone hard enough day
25:38
in, day out with the realities of war, Pretty soon they'll tire
25:42
of it. Vietnam.
25:45
That was our first time that close to war, so I figured you
25:51
figured. You ain't the only one of us
25:53
who's killed people. Why do you think I offered you
25:56
that job back in 74? Turned it down for the same
25:59
reason. I went back.
26:01
They were telling us our patriotic duty was to go and
26:04
fight for our country. Well, that's what I did.
26:07
You weren't Recon when you went back though.
26:10
Went back with a camera. Talk to me now.
26:14
Let me help with the press, keeping them safe and all that.
26:18
So I did and I took pictures. Took all the pictures I could.
26:25
I fought in a different way. Did you win?
26:28
We pulled out a Nam, didn't we? And now you're here.
26:33
Great big war hero shuffling shit.
26:37
Yeah, shoveling shit. You know what this is?
26:54
A tree. Well, you've ever seen a tree
26:57
like it? A tree's a tree.
27:01
Remember all them roasted chestnuts at Christmas?
27:04
Oh sure, sure. I mean I kind of figured been by
27:08
often enough to see the chestnuts myself.
27:11
Why is it special to you? This is an American chestnut
27:15
tree. No, Hey, Saul.
27:17
Hey, he's telling us about his American chestnut tree.
27:20
American huh? Thought they all died.
27:23
What? You remembered.
27:26
Pays to remember things. Like the American chestnut?
27:30
I'm a little lost here. Oh, a couple weeks back Saul
27:34
came by, said you couldn't make it, business as usual.
27:38
So I had a bucket of chestnuts, asked if pigs could eat them.
27:41
So we got to talking and I told him about chestnuts.
27:46
And what did you learn? Pork tastes better with
27:49
chestnuts, and most American chestnuts have died off I.
27:53
Mean it's true. Long before you or I was born,
27:56
the American chestnut was prized for the quality of its wood.
28:00
Jimmy like that. Oh, that he would, that he
28:03
would. But this tree, there ain't many
28:06
like it left. American chestnuts almost all
28:09
died out because of the Asian fungus around 1900 or so, the
28:13
chestnut blight. That's what like a couple
28:17
100,000 trees. Called billions. 4 billion trees
28:22
snuffed out practically overnight.
28:24
Lumberjacks suddenly out of work in places like West Virginia.
28:28
Those economies never recovered. I thought West Virginia was coal
28:32
country. Logging too, before it all died
28:35
off. Now there's trees like the
28:37
General here making nuts year round and I feed them to the
28:40
Reds and they grow nice and fat and tasty.
28:44
Seems lonely. It is lonely.
28:50
Heartbreakingly lonely to know everyone else you ever loved has
28:54
passed on. So I look after him and he looks
28:58
after me. And I don't know, Sadie and I,
29:03
we, we talked about being buried here, you know?
29:07
Changed your mind? Brody's grave was enough for me,
29:12
but I don't know. I thought about having him
29:16
moved. I don't, I don't know.
29:20
You've got plenty of years left in you yet, so what's the moral
29:24
of the story? With the the trees I mean.
29:27
Be wary of outsiders. Heck no.
29:31
There are trees out there that are blat resistant, maybe even
29:34
the general here, but I'm too afraid to find out.
29:38
With enough time and horticultural understanding, we
29:41
could have done something. Preserved all these trees.
29:44
Maybe we could have. They are magnificent.
29:48
It's just, it's just that I don't know, I wasn't trying to
29:55
teach you a lesson or anything. I just.
29:57
But you did make a point of it. I did do that.
30:00
I just, it's a part of me is all I'm God willing to live for 100
30:06
more years. I'm, I don't know, I see myself
30:13
as a custodian of sorts and one day I'm I just.
30:22
So I'll go ahead and wait for me at the.
30:24
Van Hey, hey, look. Look at me.
30:37
You're thinking about dying, thinking you can pass this
30:40
responsibility off to someone else.
30:43
You don't have to do this. Give the tree another decade of
30:47
your time. Well.
30:50
It's how my demise decide someone ought to know about the
30:54
tree. Jimmy love to know about this.
30:57
Well, Jimmy would cut it down. He would.
31:03
Please don't tell. Him.
31:06
Hey, I'm good at keeping secrets, but Jimmy's Jimmy.
31:11
Please let me rest here and if there's a way a way to I don't
31:22
know. OK, OK.
31:24
Hey, you got more to show me, right?
31:40
The garage. No tour would be complete
31:43
without the garage. I have to ask, why a sports
31:46
truck? I think they're called coupe
31:49
utility, but you mean why not a sports car?
31:52
Yeah, I mean, I always figured you'd have a midlife crisis like
31:56
the rest of us. Sports car, motorcycle and a
31:59
fair or something like that. Couldn't really say why I love
32:02
these so much. Saw mine one day, fell in love.
32:06
With. That I had to bring her home
32:09
with me. I'll admit it has a charm to it.
32:14
But she won't run. No.
32:17
Well, pop the hood. Let's take a look.
32:19
You're serious? Sure, already had my midlife
32:22
crisis. Motorcycle.
32:24
Sports car. And these puppies, well, you
32:27
know, they're similar enough. Some of them even use the same
32:29
engine. We can figure this out.
32:32
All right. Now let's see here.
32:41
Can you get me that drop light? My eyes aren't what?
32:44
They were sure thing. Thank you.
32:56
Saul's a good kid. What's that?
32:58
Saul was a. Good kid, I like him.
33:02
It was nice him coming by. Yeah, that's good to hear.
33:06
Never met anyone with so much promise.
33:09
Never in my entire life. Saul's dad was a good man.
33:13
Didn't think his kid had it as a boy, he was too soft.
33:19
But then he got older, graduated college, really came into his
33:23
own eager, more capable than he knows.
33:28
Great listener can. You believe we were his age
33:31
once? Hard to admit.
33:35
When I was young, I thought I knew everything.
33:38
Yeah, and now? Today I learned from you and him
33:42
about chestnuts. Well, learn something new every
33:45
day. I suppose you check the spark
33:47
plugs. Give me a second.
33:50
What about your boy? Bill.
33:54
Oh, he's fine, I guess. You guess how old is he again?
34:02
Born in 60, so 32 as of September.
34:10
Roy would have been about his age.
34:12
Yeah. Yeah.
34:13
Well, what's this about you and Bill?
34:18
He don't want to talk to me no more.
34:20
What Bill? Tow headed little guy, always
34:22
friendly and outgoing that bill. It's it's about Sadie, Yeah.
34:30
Hey, mind if I ask you a completely unrelated question?
34:34
What's with the airplanes at your neighbor's place?
34:38
Oh, Chuck's farm. Chuck Yeah.
34:40
What's with all the planes? There's no runway around here.
34:44
You know how farmers are. Hey, have you checked the air
34:47
filter? Yeah.
34:49
And yeah, I know how you are, you got plenty of junk too.
34:52
But I've never seen anyone else with what are they World War 2
34:57
bombers or something? I think he has AB 36.
35:01
No kidding. You got no idea what AB 36 is,
35:04
have you? Have the foggiest.
35:07
Well, AB 36 is a big old bomber made out of magnesium.
35:12
Biggest America ever had took two train tankers to fill one up
35:17
and you could fly from Monday to Thursday without refueling.
35:20
So why does Chuck have one in his backyard plus all the
35:23
others? I asked him about that once.
35:28
OK, wires loose here. Where?
35:31
Right there. So what did he say?
35:35
Oh, dead navigator came to him in a dream.
35:42
What? Dead navigator from the Korean
35:45
War came to him in a dream, said the planes were in danger being
35:50
lost and it was up to Chuck to save him.
35:52
So Chuck's crazy. Well, eccentric maybe, but yeah.
36:01
Do you believe in ghosts? If I did, I'd have a different
36:05
job. Why do you?
36:06
Well. I figure we all move on in some
36:09
way. Energy is neither created nor
36:13
lost and all that. So you're saying a dead
36:15
navigator came to a farmer in the middle of nowhere, no
36:18
offense, and told him that it was his job to preserve
36:21
airplanes? Yep.
36:23
So now there's a bunch of planes on a crazy coots farm.
36:27
Man, he keeps them safe. Can you think of a better place
36:31
for him to be? No want to try running it.
36:38
Sure. All right.
36:44
Turnover, turnover. Looks like she'll give you a few
36:48
more. Years yet, yeah.
36:52
Remember Slick? Sure.
36:54
He always wanted one of these. Where is he now?
36:58
Fighting Saddam? Jimmy tried to find out.
37:00
Classified I heard. Good kid.
37:04
Angry. Well, maybe when he gets back.
37:09
Thinking of giving him the car is what?
37:11
Thanks for his service. I never wanted to be thanked for
37:14
mine, but that boy seemed more hurt than any of us deserves.
37:19
Better than that old Pinto is. Yeah, well.
37:26
Where to next? Shotguns, huh?
37:41
I always like shotguns. Blanked.
37:44
Still do. I like revolvers myself when
37:47
it's for sport. Got a few of.
37:50
Them. Oh yeah.
37:50
What's your favorite? Big slab sided one.
37:53
We have a a charisma. What about?
37:58
You nothing special really, 350 sevens when I came, but it's a
38:04
shotgun. Figured we could shoot some
38:07
skeet. Always like shooting skeet top
38:11
bill to shoot this way. You're a good father.
38:15
Good and better. Name a father that couldn't.
38:20
So how do we do this? Who's going first?
38:26
I'll go first. All right, this is more my
38:30
speed, hanging out, shooting guns, maybe a few beers this
38:35
time. Guns and beers, mixed friends.
38:40
Like peanut butter and very dangerous chocolate.
38:44
Next time, trust me next time. There isn't going to be enough.
38:50
There's always a next time. This is it.
38:54
After today, we're all done. I'm trying to keep trying to
39:00
tell there's no out. I'm done.
39:03
Keep doing this. Do anything again put.
39:09
And it's to put you. Don't mean it.
39:12
If that's the way it's got to be.
39:14
You have a choice. You haven't listened to a word
39:18
I've said. I've been listening.
39:20
I've been listening all morning. I've been listening to you talk
39:23
about being sad and lonely and refusing to listen to reason.
39:27
I have my reasons. Your reasons aren't any good.
39:31
But they're mine. Walk me to my car.
39:47
So this is it then? It is all right.
39:54
Why are you doing this? Because I need to.
39:57
We're friends, God damn it. You don't get to get all stoic
39:59
on me. I know losing her was hard, but
40:02
there's got to be something. Got to be I can't take care of
40:06
the farm like I used to and there isn't much point anymore.
40:11
So sell the farm, move into the city, meet someone new.
40:14
Do you believe in hell? Do you believe in hell?
40:22
I'm not scared of hell if that's what you mean.
40:25
I didn't ask if you were scared, I asked if you believe.
40:30
I don't know. Well, I do.
40:34
And I think, I think doing this, I think that's where I'm headed.
40:42
And why you think you can buy your way into heaven.
40:48
I can't take back what I've done.
40:51
What I can do is do something right.
40:55
Why? Because I want to see her again,
40:59
that's all. I just want to see her again.
41:05
And I figure I'll do one right thing with my life.
41:10
Just one thing. Maybe I'll get to see you again
41:18
one more time. And this is your one right
41:20
thing. It is.
41:25
How do you know? How do you know if any of this
41:27
is true I. Don't know, but I got the notion
41:32
and the notion's got me. At least I can do is tell you
41:41
adios. Just like that.
41:43
What else is there to say? Not much I guess.
41:49
No. All right, then have it your
41:53
way. I'll be back this evening.
41:59
You get an afternoon. Do whatever you got to do, just
42:08
you the door unlocked. I can do that.
42:11
Adios. Friendo.
42:13
Be seeing you. Come on,
43:35
nice catch. All righty.
44:38
Come on now. Come on now.
44:40
That's a good boy. Brung you an apple, Granny
44:47
Smith, just like, if you like. Good boy, good boy.
44:53
Even real good to me. You know, that brought me a lot
45:00
of good luck. Good times.
45:06
Without you, I don't. Yeah, I do not know.
45:13
I want to thank you. I want to thank you for all you
45:18
done. Going to go ahead and leave the
45:22
barn door open behind me when I go.
45:27
You want to leave, you go find someone else.
45:32
I figure I'll just. I'll leave you to it.
47:21
Come on, come on, come on. Pick up, please.
47:23
Pick up. Dad.
47:24
Bill. All right.
47:26
Well now how'd you know it was me?
47:28
Caller Idii. Don't know what that is, it's
47:31
new. Tells me who's calling.
47:34
Huh, that's that's some real fancy stuff you got there.
47:39
Uh huh. Listen, I'm busy.
47:42
Why are you calling? Just hadn't talked in a while.
47:54
And whose fault is that? But can't we just can't we talk?
48:06
What is there to say? Hi son, how are the grandkids?
48:10
How are they? Oh, by the way, I put your mom
48:13
in a rest home so I could stay there and take care of my goats
48:16
and my pigs and my stupid horse because God forbid I actually
48:20
look after my sick wife. That's not fair.
48:23
You put her in a home. You decided she wasn't good
48:26
enough for you and you put her in a home.
48:33
No, I didn't know what to do. The doctors there, they would.
48:37
How hard could it be? Alzheimer's isn't some
48:40
terrifying boogeyman. It wasn't you who told me to
48:44
stay with the ones you love, no matter what.
48:46
So what? You didn't love her anymore,
48:58
don't you, dear? You gave her up.
49:01
You gave her up to doctors and nurses.
49:03
Do you know what they do to people in homes?
49:09
It was the best home money could buy.
49:11
Money, You and your damn money, cared more about being a rich
49:16
pig farmer than the people you were supposed to love.
49:27
Hey, I loved you both. I did everything for you.
49:32
Everything. Yeah, right.
49:34
Bill, I didn't want this call to.
49:39
You wanted to put my mom in a home, so I'm not sure what you
49:43
want matters. Bill, Bill, Bill, I just, I just
49:46
called to say. Say what?
49:48
Sorry, did you know I visited her?
49:52
I found out where you put her and I visited her.
50:03
They said you visited sometimes. She was my wife, Bill.
50:07
She cried, Dad. She cried.
50:11
She wept and she sobbed and she kept asking me where you were.
50:17
She was so scared, Dad. She was so scared.
50:22
She wanted you to take her home. The doctor said sometimes she
50:25
was lucid but I couldn't. She was lucid, Dad, and I held
50:31
her hand as she sobbed herself to sleep, and I kept holding her
50:37
hand until they told me I had to go.
50:42
Where were you taking care of your precious chestnuts?
50:49
Feeding your heritage breed pigs.
50:51
No, no, no, Bill, Bill, save it. Talk to your goats or your pigs
50:59
or whatever it is you do. I just wanted to tell you
51:09
goodbye, Bill. I've got some of your stuff all
51:14
boxed up if you wouldn't mind coming by in a few days to pick
51:20
it up. We'll see.
51:22
Goodbye son, you'll. Never make this right dead.
51:26
I'm still trying. Hello.
51:42
Hey, Edie, it's. Oh, hey, you.
51:45
How are you doing? You know, I was just talking
51:48
about you with Garth the other day.
51:50
I said Garth, you know we ought to visit.
51:53
Edie, listen, I don't mean to interrupt.
51:56
It's just I'm on a tight schedule and I need you to do me
52:01
a favor, right A? Favor sure what you need.
52:05
I'm going to be out of town for a few days.
52:08
Oh, finally taking my advice and visiting family.
52:15
I was wondering if you and Garth could make sure the animals were
52:19
fed and watered, that kind of thing.
52:22
Oh. Sure, sure.
52:23
We ain't got much going on. Thanks, Edie.
52:27
Listen, I, Evan. Evan, what are you doing?
52:33
Get down from there. Sorry, cats.
52:37
Anyway, what were you saying? Yeah, yeah, the animals, I got
52:47
them fed and watered for today. They should be good for tomorrow
52:50
too. But but if it's too much of an
52:52
imposition. Not at all, not at all.
52:56
We're happy to be imposed upon. You've been a good neighbor for
52:59
so long. I'm glad you called me today.
53:02
In fact, just the other day I said to Gareth, I said if we
53:05
don't visit, then we should host, reach out, say hello, put
53:10
together a little neighborly, get together.
53:12
And you know what he said? He said, well, Edie, if we did
53:15
that, we just, you know what, let me go get him for you.
53:19
It's better when he tells it. Thank you, Edie.
53:23
Hey, you should drop on by next Saturday afternoon.
53:26
We're going out to the Harvest festival with the grandkids and
53:29
I know how lonely it's been. What was Sadie gone and all?
53:33
You should come with it. Well, I appreciate the thought,
53:35
Edie. I don't think I'll be back in
53:38
town by then though, sorry. Oh, that's too bad.
53:42
It's been real nice seeing you coming back to church again.
53:46
Oh, it's, it's been real nice being welcomed back, but now I
53:53
got to go chores and such, you know how it is.
53:57
I sure do. Well, come on over sometime.
54:00
Just got some gooseberries in. We're making pies and we'd love
54:04
to have you. I know they're your favorite.
54:07
That they are got to go now. See you.
54:25
Hey you, Brody. How you been?
54:30
I know I don't drop by as much as I ought.
54:34
Ain't got an excuse. We had some good times, Brody.
54:40
I remember Doug coming over, remarking on your coat.
54:44
Said you didn't need no training.
54:46
He'd put you with his bird dogs and you'd figure out what to do.
54:49
Well, he was right. You came a waddling over out of
54:52
that lake, duck in your mouth, proud as everything.
54:55
You wouldn't give that duck up, but you got the hang of it.
55:01
Doug and I, we had a falling out.
55:05
Haven't spoken to him since he passed, so no point reminiscing,
55:12
I guess. You want to know something,
55:18
Brody? I always, I always believed dogs
55:24
go to heaven because all dogs fundamentally good, even the
55:29
mean ones, they're good too. They just, you know, hurt her,
55:33
starving her, you know, sick or scared.
55:36
So I know where you are, and I know Sadie's probably with you
55:42
right now. I've done wrong, Beardy.
55:46
I've done a lot of wrong and I don't know if I can make up for
55:50
it. I want to tell you I'll see you
55:52
soon. But the truth is, I do not know.
55:58
I don't know if I was good enough for you or her.
56:03
I don't know if I did my best SO this may be goodbye.
56:16
I love you and I miss you all the same.
58:30
None. None.
