- THERE IS ONE GLORY OF THE SUN,
AND ANOTHER GLORY OF THE MOON,
AND ANOTHER GLORY OF THE STARS.
FOR EACH STAR DIFFERS FROM ANOTHER STAR IN GLORY.
SO, ALSO, IS THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD.
IT IS SOWN IN CORRUPTION,
IT IS RAISED IN INCORRUPTION.
IT IS SOWN IN DISHONOR, IT IS RAISED IN GLORY.
IT IS SOWN IN WEAKNESS,
IT IS RAISED IN POWER.
IT IS SOWN A NATURAL BODY,
IT IS RAISED A SPIRITUAL BODY.
- DADDY, WHAT DOES "EVICTED" MEAN?
- HEH. WELL, THAT'S, UH...
THAT'S WHEN YOUR LANDLORD'S POCKETS
ARE DEEPER THAN YOURS ARE.
- GIVE IT TO HIM! HE WANTS IT.
- ARGH! - IT'S HIS BLANKET ANYWAY.
- TERRY! GET THAT BUNCH UNDER CONTROL BACK THERE.
- COME ON, NOW, QUIT IT.
- I'M GONNA GET YOU NOW, MAN. - DAVID, SIT DOWN!
YOU'RE GONNA BREAK SOMETHIN'.
- THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' IN HERE WORTH BREAKIN'.
- SHARE YOUR BLANKET WITH HIM. QUIT IT, NOW.
I'M GONNA WHOOP YOU. - I'LL WHOOP YOU.
- [laughs] YEAH, YOU GONNA WHOOP ME?
[horn honks]
YOU CAN'T WHOOP ME.
- YES, I CAN! - [laughs]
[indistinct chatter]
- [coughs]
- TERRY, HOW LONG ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO STAY OUT HERE?
- HELLO, DADDY.
- WAYNE.
- LOOKS LIKE YOU AND THE BROOD IS ON THE MOVE...AGAIN.
- YEAH. WELL, UH...
WE WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD PUT UP WITH YOU FOR A FEW DAYS.
OUT IN THE TRAILER.
- SEVEN BOYS ON A CHICKEN FARM?
YOU JUST ASKIN' FOR TROUBLE, CECIL.
[chickens clucking]
- JUDY.
HOW YOU DOING, GAL?
- WE'RE MAKING OUT, CECIL.
WAYNE'S GOT A NEW JOB OVER AT MEDFORD TRUCK,
AND...WE'LL BE GETTING A PLACE OF OUR OWN BEFORE LONG.
- WELL, LUELLA'S RIGHT, YOU KNOW.
WHO'S GONNA KEEP THESE YOUNG'UNS UNDER CONTROL?
- WELL, PAW PAW, THEY WANT CAUSE YOU NO TROUBLE.
I'LL LOOK OUT FOR THEM.
I'LL GET 'EM TO CHIP IN AND HELP OUT.
- WELL...
JUST TILL YOU GET STRAIGHTENED OUT.
- WE'RE MUCH OBLIGED TO YOU, CECIL.
- YOU BOYS GET THIS STUFF OUT.
HURRY UP, NOW.
[overlapping chatter]
- COME ON.
- NO, I GOT IT.
- HELP YOUR MAMA GET MOVED IN.
- I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.
- I GOTTA GO TO TOWN.
[engine starts]
- DADDY AIN'T CHANGED MUCH, HAS HE?
- NO, SIR. WAYNE AIN'T CHANGED A BIT.
- STOP IT, STOP IT! - DAVID...
YOU AND MICHAEL SETTLE DOWN IN THERE.
Y'ALL GOT SCHOOL TOMORROW.
- ALL RIGHT, MAMA.
- SURE IS NICE OUT TONIGHT.
- I LIKE THE OUTDOORS.
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, MY MAMA COULDN'T HARDLY
GET ME TO COME IN AND GO TO BED AT NIGHT.
I USED TO TELL HER I WANTED TO BE OUT WHERE GOD COULD SEE ME
AND KNOW THAT EVERYTHING WAS OKAY.
- YOU DESERVE BETTER, MAMA.
- I SUPPOSE THAT'S WHY I'VE WORKED SO HARD
TO MAKE THINGS ALL RIGHT WITH YOU BOYS.
- YEAH, BUT EVERYTHING AIN'T ALL RIGHT.
- IT'S THE BEST IT'S BEEN IN A WHILE, SON.
YOU BOYS AREN'T SCATTERED OUT AMONG RELATIVES
OR SLEEPING IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK.
YOU'VE GOT A ROOF.
AND EVERYBODY BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.
- YEAH, AND WAYNE STILL AIN'T COME BACK FROM TOWN.
IT IS THE SAME OLD STUFF, MAMA.
- YOUR DADDY DOES THE BEST HE CAN.
- YOU BEEN HAVING THEM HEADACHES AGAIN.
YOU LOOK TIRED, MAMA.
[dog barking]
I FOUND THIS EMPTY TWO WEEKS AGO...
YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE.
NOW, YOU REMEMBER WHAT THE DOCTOR TOLD YOU
ABOUT THE MEDICINE.
- HONEY, THERE JUST HASN'T BEEN ENOUGH...
both: MONEY. - MONEY. I KNOW, MAMA.
THERE'S ENOUGH MONEY.
BUT WHY--
YOU REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THIS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR HEALTH HERE.
MAMA, I'M GETTING A JOB.
- OH, NO, YOU'RE NOT, YOUNG MAN.
- JUST AFTER SCHOOL. NOW, LISTEN TO ME.
I WENT DOWN TO THE HATCHERY AND TALKED TO LEE REYNOLDS.
AND HE SAID THEY HAVE AN OPENING ON THE LOADING DOCK,
AND IT PAYS $4 AN HOUR.
- JUST AFTER SCHOOL?
- YEAH, MAMA. WE NEED THE MONEY.
- I'LL NOT HAVE YOU QUITTING SCHOOL, YOUNG MAN.
WHAT I LIVE FOR IS KEEPING US ALL TOGETHER
AND SEEING YOU BOYS GET AN EDUCATION.
'CAUSE IF ANYTHING WAS TO HAPPEN TO ME, I DON'T--
- AIN'T NOTHIN' EVER GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU, MAMA.
- BUT IF IT DID...
THE THING THAT I WOULD WANT MOST...
IS FOR YOU BOYS TO STICK TOGETHER.
AND I THINK THAT'D BE UP TO YOU, SON.
I DON'T THINK YOU COULD COUNT MUCH ON YOUR DADDY.
NOW, YOU PROMISE ME.
YOU'LL KEEP 'EM TOGETHER.
- I PROMISE, MAMA.
[echoing] I PROMISE.
- LORD, WE ASK THY BLESSED COMFORT
FOR THIS FAMILY IN THEIR HOUR OF SORROW.
AND IN FRONT OF ALL THOSE GATHERED HERE TODAY.
AND NOW, MAY THE PEACE THAT PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING
REST AND ABIDE WITH US NOW AND FOREVERMORE.
AMEN.
all: AMEN.
- ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO LEAVE MAMA HERE?
- NO WAY, SONNY BOY.
WE AIN'T GONNA LEAVE MAMA HERE.
WE'RE GONNA TAKE HER WITH US.
BUT SHE'S GONNA BE IN HERE AND IN HERE AND IN HERE.
OKAY? COME ON.
- DADDY, WE GOT A PROBLEM HERE.
- YEAH? WELL, WHAT IS IT?
- SOMEONE ELSE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE CARE
OF ALL OF THEM YOUNGER BOYS, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
- HEY, DADDY, DADDY...
YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO US.
- CAN'T DO WHAT, TERRY?
- YOU CAN'T SPLIT US UP LIKE THAT.
- THERE AIN'T NO OTHER WAY.
LORD KNOWS, I CAN'T TAKE CARE OF ALL YOU BOYS.
I'M A TRUCK DRIVER, SON. I'M GONE ALL THE TIME.
- I PROMISED MAMA...
THAT I'D KEEP US TOGETHER, WAYNE.
- WELL, THAT'S JUST FINE, TERRY.
BUT THERE AIN'T NO WAY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
THAT'S A PROMISE YOU JUST CAN'T KEEP.
- TERRY, YOU AND TOMMY CAN COME AND STAY WITH ME,
AND YOUR AUNTIE SNUGS OVER IN BRAZELTON,
THEY TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEIR RANCH.
THEY'VE DONE IT BEFORE IN A PINCH.
- BUT, PAW PAW, THEY ALL WORK,
AND THEY ALL GOT FAMILIES OF THEIR OWN.
AND THE BOYS AIN'T GONNA GET NO SUPERVISION, PAW PAW.
IT'S BEST THEY'RE WITH ME.
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THEY'LL BE SKIPPING SCHOOL
AND TAKING DRUGS.
- TERRY, YOUR AUNT AND I WILL DO THE BEST WE CAN
WITH CHARLES AND DAVID.
LORD KNOWS THEY'RE A HANDFUL.
- UH, EITHER THAT OR LET THE COUNTY
TAKE THEM IN FOSTER CARE.
- NO!
NO, PAW PAW, THERE'S ANOTHER WAY.
- WELL, YOU DON'T THINK THAT YOU CAN COME OVER--
- PAW PAW, WE CAN STAY IN YOUR TRAILER.
I'LL WATCH OUT FOR 'EM. WE WON'T CAUSE YOU NO TROUBLE.
PLEASE, PAW PAW? I PROMISED MAMA.
I'LL WATCH OUT FOR 'EM.
WE WON'T BE NO TROUBLE.
COME ON, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, BOYS?
- WE WANT TO STAY TOGETHER.
- AS LONG AS YOU WON'T BOSS US AROUND.
- WHO'S GONNA COOK? - YEAH, WHO'S GONNA COOK?
- WE'LL ALL COOK. - UGH.
- DADDY, YOU'RE CRAZY IF YOU DO THIS.
- HEY, DADDY, JUST GO DRIVE YOUR TRUCK.
- CECIL, LUELLA WILL HAVE A CONNIPTION.
- PLEASE, PAW PAW.
- CECIL, YOU ABOUT READY TO GO?
- COME ON.
[indistinct chatter]
- CECIL...
WHAT ARE THOSE YOUNG'UNS UP TO?
- WELL, UH...
LUELLA, WE GOTTA TALK.
[tiller growling]
[tiller shuts off]
[cow mooing]
[kids chattering]
- WHY'D YOU STEP ON MY FOOT?
- I DID NOT! - YOU JUST DID!
- DID NOT! - DID TOO!
[indistinct chatter]
- QUIT MESSING AROUND, YOU TWO.
PAW PAW IS WATCHING.
- COME ON!
BOYS, PUT YOUR BOOKS UP, NOW, AND GET TO WORK.
TOMMY, YOU TAKE OVER THE TILLER.
THE REST OF YOU GOT CHICKEN HOUSES TO CLEAN.
- I'M GONNA SMELL LIKE CHICKEN DOOKY FOR TWO DAYS AT SCHOOL.
- YEAH, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET NEAR A GIRL.
THEY'LL KILL YOU.
- YOU GUYS ARE UP FOR A COUPLE MORE.
YOU CAN TAKE THIS ONE WAY IN THE BACK.
- ALL RIGHT. [indistinct chatter]
- TAKE IT ALL THE WAY BACK.
YOU'RE ON THE LEAD THIS WEEK, GREG.
- YEAH, WELL, UH...
[indistinct chatter]
- NOT TOO FAST THERE, SON.
[indistinct chatter]
[chicks tweeting]
- WE'RE STILL IN THE FIRST GO-ROUND WITH THAT.
- WHERE YOU BEEN, TER?
- I BEEN WORKING, PAW PAW.
- ALL DAY? - YES, SIR.
I STARTED FULL TIME AT THE HATCHERY TODAY.
- WHY?
- WELL, I NEED TO HELP PAY SOME OF THEM BILLS.
YOU KNOW, MAMA'S HOSPITAL AND FUNERAL.
- YOU DON'T WORRY...
I'LL SELL THAT OLD TRAILER TO PAY FOR THAT.
- YOU... WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHERE DO YOU THINK THOSE BOYS GONNA STAY?
- I DON'T KNOW. WE'LL ADD A COUPLE OF ROOMS.
- YOU MEAN STAY IN HERE WITH US?
WHY, THEY'D TEAR THIS PLACE UP IN TWO HOURS.
YOU CRAZY, CECIL?
- I'M JUST TRYING TO DO THE BEST I CAN.
- WELL, THEN, WHY DON'T YOU CALL THAT NO-ACCOUNT SON OF YOURS
AND ASK HIM TO COME HERE SOMETIME AND HELP!
- LISTEN, PAW PAW, WHAT YOU CAN GET FOR THAT OLD TRAILER
WON'T BE NEARLY ENOUGH.
- I DON'T WANT YOU WORKING FULL TIME.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH STOCK YOUR MAMA SET BY YOUR EDUCATION.
- YOU CAN'T DO IT BY YOURSELF, PAW PAW.
AND, BESIDES, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO MY MOM
WAS US BOYS STAYING TOGETHER.
AND IF I GOTTA WORK FIVE JOBS,
I AIN'T FARMIN' NONE OF MY BROTHERS OUT TO RELATIVES.
- WELL...
- HEY, SONNY BOY.
IT'S GETTING COLD OUT HERE.
CAN'T HAVE YOU CATCHING A COLD NOW, CAN WE?
ANYTHING WRONG?
- I MISS MAMA.
- OF COURSE YOU DO.
WE ALL MISS MAMA.
THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' WRONG WITH THAT.
REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU AT THE CEMETERY
ABOUT KEEPING MAMA IN HERE WITH US?
- YEAH.
- WELL, YOU CAN'T FORGET THAT.
- LUELLA, THE BOYS IS ABOUT FINISHED
WITH THAT ADDITION.
[chatter and laughter]
- HEY, IT'S MY TURN NOW.
- UH-UH.
- COME ON!
- WELL, THAT OUGHT TO DO IT, CHUMPS.
NOW WE GOT US A PLACE TO LIVE.
- ALL RIGHT! - ALL RIGHT.
- NOT BAD, CHARLES. NOT BAD AT ALL.
- HELL, I GUESS THAT'S ONE WAY TO SPEND YOUR SUMMER VACATION.
- PUT 'ER HERE.
- ALL RIGHT. WHOA, HEY!
WAIT! [laughter]
WE DID IT. WE DID IT.
- CECIL STILL KEEPING ALL YOUR BOYS OVER AT HIS PLACE?
- YES, SIR.
HE'S GOT 14,000 CHICKENS AND SEVEN BOYS.
- WHEN I HIRED THAT BOY OVER A YEAR AGO,
I'D HAVE BET MONEY HE'D NEVER MAKE IT, BRETT.
- MAKES TWO OF US, MR. REYNOLDS.
NEVER SEEN NOBODY TRY SO BLAMED HARD.
[metallic clatter]
- HOW'S IT GOING, TERRY? - OH, FINE, MR. REYNOLDS, FINE.
- HOW 'BOUT STOPPING BY MY OFFICE BEFORE YOU LEAVE WORK?
- SURELY.
- YEAH, I THINK WE'LL TAKE THE KIDS TO ATLANTA.

AH. [sniffs]

- YES, SIR. JUST FINE.
- LET'S SEE.
[horn honks]
YOU PUT IN 60 HOURS THIS WEEK?
HOW CAN YOU MANAGE THAT?
- I GOT TO.
SEVEN BOYS AIN'T CHEAP, YOU KNOW.
- YOU GET UP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN
AND YOU WORK HERE INTO THE NIGHT,
AND THEN YOU GO HOME AND HELP YOUR GRANDDADDY.
- YES, SIR.
WE ALL WORK, SIR.
- I DON'T MEAN TO PRY, TERRY...
BUT I WAS WONDERING IF YOU SEE MUCH
OF YOUR DADDY THESE DAYS.
- NO.
HE AIN'T BEEN BY IN A GOOD, LONG TIME.
- JUST YOU AND CECIL AND THE BOYS.
- YES, SIR.
AND WE'RE DOING JUST FINE, MR. REYNOLDS.
THE BOYS ARE IN SCHOOL AND THEY'RE STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE,
AND THEY'RE GETTING GOOD GRADES, AND--
AND WE'RE ALL TOGETHER, AND--
AND THAT'S WHAT MY MAMA WANTED.
- YOU GOT A LOAD ON YOU FOR A YOUNG MAN, TERRY.
- YEAH, NOTHIN' I CAN'T HANDLE, THOUGH.
- YOU DONE A GOOD JOB HERE.
YOU DONE A MAN'S JOB AND MORE.
FOLKS HERE LIKE YOU.
- WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT, SIR.
- BUT YOU JUST ABOUT WORE THIS JOB OUT, I'M AFRAID.
- MR. REYNOLDS, I DO MY JOB WELL.
- AND I WAS WONDERING IF MAYBE
YOU'D CONSIDER BEING A SUPERVISOR.
FOR A RAISE, OF COURSE.
- SUPERVISOR? ME?
- I WOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER MOST FOLKS YOUR AGE, TERRY.
BUT, UH, YOU DON'T ACT YOUR AGE, EITHER.
- MR. REYNOLDS, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA FIRE ME.
- YOU'LL START MONDAY.
- OH, I-I SURE APPRECIATE THIS, MR. REYNOLDS.
- YOU'VE EARNED IT.
TERRY, I ADMIRE YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
AND I HOPE YOU CAN COME TO ME IF YOU NEED ANY HELP
WITH YOUR BROTHERS AND EVERYTHING.
- I CAN MANAGE.
- [chuckling] YEAH. - THANK YOU.
- I BELIEVE YOU MIGHT CAN.
- [grunts]
[muttering]
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET YOURSELF A NEW CLUTCH?
- DON'T I WISH?
WE AIN'T MAKIN' IT, TERRY.
I'M GONNA BUST JUST KEEPING YOUR BOYS IN FOOD AND CLOTHES.
- YEAH, WELL, I CAN HELP OUT SOME MORE.
I JUST GOT A PROMOTION TODAY.
- HUH? - I'M A SUPERVISOR.
- A SUPERVISOR? - YES, SIR.
- WELL, THAT'S GREAT.
YOU SURE ARE PULLING YOUR WEIGHT, TERRY.
BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SEVEN OF YOU.
[clang]
- [sighs]
SO I SUSPECT YOU'LL BE FARMING US OUT NOW, RIGHT,
AND GETTING RID OF US? - NO, NO, NO.
WE CAN MAKE IT HERE.
WE ALL PULL TOGETHER.
WE CAN MAKE THESE CHICKEN HOUSES LIKE NEW,
AND MAYBE WE-- WE GET A NEW FEED HOPPER.
SONNY BELL MIGHT GIVE ME A NEW CONTRACT
IF WE GET PRODUCTION UP.
AND THAT PIECE OF LAND OVER YONDER
I SOLD WHEN YOUR GRANDMAMMY DIED.
WE'RE GONNA GET THAT BACK ONE OF THESE DAYS TOO,
AND FIX IT UP SO YOU BOYS CAN HAVE IT.
- YOU'RE TAKING AN AWFUL BIG RISK, PAW PAW.
- WELL, LIFE IS A BIG RISK.
YOU DON'T DWELL ON THE WAY THINGS ARE,
BUT THE WAY YOU WANT THEM TO BE.
- YES, SIR. - HUH?
- I'M GONNA FIX THIS CLUTCH! - YOU DO THAT!
[indistinct chatter]
- [on PA] TERRY O'KELLEY,
YOU'RE WANTED IN THE DISPATCH OFFICE.
- AW, HONEY, I CAN'T. UH-UH.

[hammering]

- YOUR SHOELACE IS UNTIED.
- WELL, SO IT IS.
[exhales heavily]
[grunts]
OOH.
[sharp, labored breathing]
- WHAT HAPPENED TO PAW PAW?
- PAW PAW?
PAW PAW?
[heart monitor beeping]
[Paw Paw groaning softly]
- TERRY...WAYNE...
- NOW, YOU JUST REST, MR. O'KELLEY.
- THERE'S NO TIME.
I GOTTA TALK TO MY BOYS.
I WANT THE BOYS...
TO HAVE THE FARM. WAYNE...
- I CAN HANDLE IT.
- THE BOYS.
- PAW PAW, NO.
NOW, YOU'RE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
JUST--JUST RELAX A LITTLE BIT.
- NOT THIS TIME, YOUNG'UN.
NOT...
[breathing hard]
DON'T YOU GIVE UP, BOY.
DON'T YOU GIVE UP.
- HUH? - DON'T...
[gasps] [alarm buzzing]
- DOCTOR!
[buzzing continues]
[thunder rumbling]
- LUELLA'S TAKING THE TV.
- HOW ELSE SHE GONNA WATCH HER SOAP OPERAS?
- YOU GONNA TAKE MY DADDY'S SHOES, LUELLA?
- MIGHT AS WELL.
AIN'T NOBODY AROUND HERE BIG ENOUGH TO WEAR 'EM ANYMORE.
FIRST TIME I SAW YOU, I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T AMOUNT TO MUCH.
- YEAH? THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU,
I KNEW YOU WASN'T NO MAMA.
[rain pouring down]
YOU GONNA LEAVE US SOMETHING TO SLEEP ON?
- EVERY STICK OF FURNITURE IN THIS HOUSE IS MINE, WAYNE.
SAYS SO IN THE WILL.
YOU AND THE BOYS GOT EVERYTHING ELSE.
I WANT TO JUST SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES YOU TO SQUANDER IT.
I LEFT Y'ALL SOME MATTRESSES.
- WELL, DON'T DO US NO FAVORS, NOW, YOU HEAR?
- WELL, IF I WAS GONNA DO ANYBODY ANY FAVORS,
I'D CALL THE COUNTY TO COME OUT HERE AND GET THESE BOYS.
- I CAN TAKE CARE OF THESE YOUNG'UNS JUST FINE.
- OKAY, I JUST BET.
- I RECKON THAT'S ABOUT IT.
- [scoffs]
[thunder rumbling]
[truck engine revs]
- HEY, MORNIN', LEE. - MORNIN', TERRY.
- SO DID YOU HAVE A CHANCE
TO LOOK AT OUR CHICKEN HOUSE THIS MORNING?
- AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DID.
- WELL, HOW ABOUT THAT NEW CONTRACT?
THE HOUSES ARE ALL READY.
ALL I NEED IS SOME LAYERS, LEE.
- HOUSES LOOK GOOD.
BUT, TERRY, I HEARD YOUR DADDY
IS STILL DRINKING AN AWFUL LOT.
SONNY BELL JUST CAN'T TAKE A CHANCE ON CONTRACTING
WITH SOMEBODY LIKE THAT. - YEAH, BUT, LEE...
HE AIN'T GONNA HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM COOPS.
ME AND MY BROTHERS, WE'RE GONNA RUN 'EM.
- HE'S YOUR LEGAL GUARDIAN...
AND EXECUTOR OF CECIL'S ESTATE.
TERRY, I'M SORRY.
BUT THIS IS BUSINESS.
- YEAH, I UNDERSTAND, LEE.
IT'S BUSINESS.
[bell rings]
I UNDERSTAND.
HE DID WHAT?
- SOLD 'EM. FEED HOPPER, TRACTOR, LUMBER.
GOT $3 A SHEET FOR THE ROOFING.
[pounds countertop] - MY GOD, WHAT IS HE DOING?
HE'S PRACTICALLY GIVING EVERYTHING AWAY!
- TERRY, THEY JUST CHICKEN HOUSES.
AIN'T YOU TIRED OF CHICKENS?
- HEY, PAW PAW DIED BUILDING THEM CHICKEN HOUSES.
[bell clanging]
- THIS IS PRETTY IRREGULAR, TERRY.
JUDGES DON'T USUALLY SEE THE WALK-IN TRAFFIC.
- NO, SIR, I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU
TAKING YOUR TIME TO SEE ME, THOUGH.
CAN YOU HELP ME?
- IT'S ALL THERE, TERRY.
YOUR GRANDFATHER NAMED YOUR FATHER
EXECUTOR OF THE STATE.
- YEAH, BUT PAW PAW WANTED ME AND MY BROTHERS
TO OWN THE FARM, JUDGE.
HE TOLD ME AND WAYNE THAT WHEN HE WAS DYING.
- MAYBE SO, BUT HE NEVER CHANGED HIS WILL.
THE WAY THIS READS,
IT'S UP TO YOUR FATHER TO HANDLE THINGS.
- YEAH, BUT HE'S GONNA THROW IT ALL AWAY.
YOU SEE, PAW PAW LEFT ME A LITTLE MONEY IN THE BANK
AND A GOOD FARM TO WORK.
BUT NOW THE MONEY'S GONE,
AND THE FARM'S GONNA BE NEXT, JUDGE,
UNLESS YOU CAN STOP HIM.
- WHAT YOU GOT HERE, TERRY, IS A FAMILY PROBLEM.
NOW, THEY'RE THE TOUGHEST KIND.
FAMILIES CAN GET ALL CROSSED UP, AND NOBODY WINS.
THE ONLY THING I CAN SUGGEST IS THAT YOU HIRE A LAWYER.
GO THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEM.
- "THE SYSTEM."
JUDGE, BY THE TIME "THE SYSTEM"
GETS OFF ITS REAR END AND DOES SOMETHING,
THERE'LL BE NOTHING LEFT.
THERE'LL BE NO FAMILY, THERE'LL BE NO FARM.
IT'S NOT FAIR.
- CHECK IT OUT.
DADDY GOT HIMSELF SOME NEW WHEELS.
- I DON'T BELIEVE HIM.
- DADDY GOT A NEW CAR, TERRY!
- BE CAREFUL WITH THEM BREWS THERE.
YOU'RE GONNA SPOIL THE PARTY.
- HEY, LISTEN, WAYNE, YOU GOT NO RIGHT TO DO THAT.
- I GOT EVERY RIGHT, BOY.
- YOU'VE THROWN AWAY EVERYTHING PAW PAW'S WORKED FOR, WAYNE.
AND FOR WHAT? A NEW CAR TO SHOW YOUR WOMAN?
- HEY, WATCH IT, BOY.
[both grunting]
- HEY, YOU AIN'T GONNA-- - THAT'S IT FOR YOU!
THAT'S IT FOR YOU, BOY!
[chatter and truck engines rumbling]
BRING 'EM OVER HERE NOW.
- SEAL 'EM ALL OVER HERE.
I'LL GIVE YOU A HAND.
[indistinct chatter]
[Terry shaking container]
- GETTING YOUR SHOPPING DONE, MR. O'KELLEY?
- HEY, BRETT. HOW YOU DOING?
LONG TIME, NO SEE.
HOW'S YOUR NEW JOB AT WESTON'S GOING?
- SELLING LOTS OF APPLIANCES, BOY.
HEY, COME ON DOWN-- I'LL FIX YOU UP WITH A NEW REFRIGERATOR,
DOES EVERYTHING EXCEPT WHISTLE DIXIE.
- YEAH, THAT'S JUST WHAT I NEED.
YOU HAVING A PARTY?
- OH, HEADING UP TO THE CABIN.
HEY, WANNA COME?
- NAH, I GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW TO BAKE A CAKE
FOR MY BROTHER. IT'S HIS BIRTHDAY.
- MAN, YOU NEED TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME OFF.
GET A BURGER, GO TO A MOVIE. CHASE GIRLS.
- I HAVE NO TIME FOR THAT.
- SUIT YOURSELF.
- YEAH.
- EVERYTHING GOING ALL RIGHT?
- YEAH, WE'RE MAKING DO.
- WELL...HEY, COME BY WESTON'S.
LET ME SELL YOU THAT REFRIGERATOR.
- YEAH, SURE THING.
- ALL I DID ALL NIGHT WAS FIGHT BED BUGS.
- AND ALL YOU DO ALL DAY IS DELEGATE.
- JUST EGGS AGAIN?
CAN'T WE HAVE SAUSAGE? BACON? OR MAYBE EVEN TOAST.
- IF YOU WANT SOME MEAT, WHY DON'T YOU CATCH
SOME OF THEM BED BUGS AND STIR 'EM UP FOR BREAKFAST?
- WE GOT WET SHEETS AGAIN.
- WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, SONNY BOY.
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GUY,
I WET MY BED A FEW TIMES TOO.
- YOU DID? - SURE.
IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYBODY.
I REMEMBER WHEN OL' JEFF THERE
USED TO WET HIS BED, DIDN'T YOU?
ALL RIGHT, NOW, EAT YOUR EGGS.
YOU GOTTA GO TO SCHOOL ON A FULL STOMACH,
SO YOU CAN LEARN SOMETHING.
BUS WILL BE HERE IN 20 MINUTES.
EVERYBODY'S GOT THEIR HOMEWORK?
- MM-HMM. - CHARLES?
- MOST EVERYTHING.
- OH, YEAH? WHAT DIDN'T YOU DO?
- BOOK REPORT. SOME STUPID OLD HISTORY.
AND I DON'T SEE WHY I CAN'T GET ON FULL-TIME AT THE HATCHERY,
LIKE TOMMY DID.
- BECAUSE THAT'S JUST TEMPORARY,
TILL WE GET SOME OF THESE BILLS PAID
AND GET A LITTLE BIT AHEAD.
NOW, DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT MOM TOLD YOU ABOUT SCHOOL?
- I'M BETTER OFF AT THE HATCHERY.
ME AND OL' MR. HISTORY NEVER DID GET ALONG.
- YEAH, WELL, AT LEAST I CAN KEEP AN EYE ON YOU THERE.
- OH, YEAH, RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I NEED.
YOU KEEP AN EYE ON ME.
- ALL RIGHT, HERE'S SOME LUNCH MONEY.
Y'ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY AT SCHOOL.
- MOM USED TO MAKE GOOD LUNCHES.
- YEAH, MAMA WAS A GOOD COOK, WASN'T SHE?
- YEP.
- Y'ALL SAYING YOUR PRAYERS FOR HER, RIGHT?
- UH-HUH. - YEAH.
- ALL RIGHT, NOW, YOU RENEGADES LISTEN UP.
WHEN YOU GET HOME FROM SCHOOL,
I WANT THEM CHORES DONE IMMEDIATELY.
AND--AND, JEFF, NO SNEAKING OFF.
AND, MICHAEL, YOU STAY AWAY FROM THE CREEK.
- ALL RIGHT, IT'S TOO COLD TO FISH ANYHOW.
- AND, JASON AND DAVID, YOU DO SOME OF THIS LAUNDRY,
ALL RIGHT, HEAR?
THIS PLACE IS A PIGSTY.
- THAT BOY'S GONNA WIND HIMSELF UP SO TIGHT,
HE'S GONNA BUST ONE OF THESE DAYS.
- YEAH, OR BUST US.
[typing]
[adding machine clacking]
- THAT'S NEARLY $30,000 WORTH OF BILLS, TERRY.
- YES, MA'AM, THOSE ARE BILLS
FOR MY MAMA'S AND PAPA'S FUNERAL, HOSPITAL.
SOME BILLS MY DADDY RUN UP.
I BEEN PAYING ON 'EM ALL ALONG AS MUCH AS I COULD,
AND KEPT THE BOYS FED AND CLOTHED.
- ABOUT YOUR FATHER...
- HE'S ON THE ROAD A LOT. HE DRIVES A TRUCK.
SEE, THAT'S WHY I CAME IN ABOUT THESE FOOD STAMPS.
JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE, IT WOULD HELP OUT.
- I'M SORRY, TERRY.
BUT ACCORDING TO THESE FIGURES,
YOU AND TOMMY TOGETHER MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY
TO QUALIFY.
- TOO MUCH MONEY?
WELL...
HOW ABOUT WITH SEVEN BOYS,
AND I GOT ALL THEM BILLS TO PAY.
- THE COUNTY CAN'T TAKE BILLS INTO ACCOUNT
WHEN INCOME EXCEEDS THE ALLOWED AMOUNT.
I'M SORRY, TERRY.
BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO,
PLEASE CALL ME, OKAY?
- IT DOESN'T MAKE NO SENSE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
- CHARLES CAME TO SCHOOL
FOR THE FOURTH STRAIGHT DAY WITHOUT HIS BOOK REPORT.
- CHARLES IS GONNA STAND UP IN FRONT OF HIS CLASS
AND APOLOGIZE TO HIS TEACHER.
RIGHT--RIGHT THIS MINUTE.
AREN'T YOU, CHARLES?
CHARLES, AREN'T YOU?
- YEAH, I RECKON.
- AND THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, WILL IT, CHARLES?
- NO.
- TELL THAT TO MR. ROBERTSON.
- IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
- IT BETTER NOT, CHARLES.
I'M GETTING TIRED OF SEEING YOU IN HERE.
- STUPID DUMMY.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU
IF YOU KEEP DOING THIS, CHARLES?
FOSTER HOMES!
AND I AIN'T GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN, YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
- YEAH, YEAH, ALL RIGHT! NOW LET ME GO!
- [groans]
- TERRY, YOU ALL RIGHT?
- YEAH.
JUST MY DAMN STOMACH ACTING UP AGAIN.
[tearing medicine package]
- YOU'RE TEARING YOURSELF UP, TERRY.
WHY DON'T YOU EASE UP?
- [slurping]
'CAUSE I PROMISED MAMA.
AND I AIN'T GOING BACK ON THAT PROMISE.
AND I DON'T WANT NONE OF US TURNING OUT LIKE DADDY.
- TERRY, I...
- WANT TO KNOW WHY I'M SO HARD ON YOU, CHARLES?
IT'S BECAUSE, CHARLES, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
THAT'S GOT A CHANCE TO MAKE SOMETHING OF THEMSELVES.
YOU GOT GRADES TO GO TO COLLEGE.
YOU CAN BE SOMEBODY, YOU UNDERSTAND?
- YEAH.
YEAH, TERRY.
- ALL RIGHT, NOW GO APOLOGIZE TO THAT TEACHER.
HERE YOU GO.
GO.
- TAKE IT BACK! - HECK I WILL!
- YOU WAIT! I'LL GET YOU!
DARN!
- HE ALMOST BEAT YOU.
- LET GO! - YOU'RE SUCH A BABY.
- FAMILY SERVICES. SARAH HALL, PLEASE.
- I'M STILL HUNGRY.
- WELL, THAT'S IT.
THERE'S NO MORE SOUP FOR TONIGHT.
- WHERE'S TOMMY? - HE'S WORKING LATE.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING AGAIN?
FIGHTIN'?
- HE CALLED ME CHICKEN BRAINS.
- YEAH, HE CALLED YOU CHICKEN BRAINS, DID HE?
WELL, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A CHICKEN BRAIN IS.
IT'S SOMEBODY THAT FIGHTS FOR NO REASON,
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE. - BUT YOU FOUGHT WITH DADDY.
- WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH YOU, DAVID?
YOU BACKTALK EVERYTHING I SAY.
I'M TIRED OF YOUR MOUTH.
[sighs] WE'RE UP AGAINST IT, GUYS.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, TERRY?
WE'RE DOING ALL RIGHT.
- ALL RIGHT? DOES THIS LOOK ALL RIGHT TO YOU?
EMPTY, EMPTY, EMPTY, EMPTY!
EVERYTHING IS EMPTY, AND I'VE RUN OUT OF CREDIT AT THE STORE!
- WE'D ALL BE ALL FINE IF YOU HADN'T RUN DADDY OFF.
- NO, IT WOULDN'T!
DADDY TOOK EVERYTHING WE HAD, AND THEN SOME.

AND I'M GONNA SEE I DO THAT.
- WELL, YOU'VE DONE THE BEST YOU CAN.
BUT, UH...

WHY DON'T YOU FOLKS SET DOWN AND LET ME TALK TO THESE BOYS?
WHAT DO YOU FELLAS THINK?
- TERRY DID THE BEST HE COULD, I RECKON.
WELL, WE GIVE HIM A HARD TIME SOMETIMES.
BUT HE MAKES US MIND, JUDGE.
- JUDGE...
JUDGE, WE LOVE EACH OTHER.
WE DON'T WANNA BREAK APART.
ALL WE WANT IS TO BE A FAMILY.
THAT'S ALL.

WALTZING INTO THIS COURTROOM AND MAKE EVERYTHING OKAY.
THIS IS THE REAL WORLD: FOOD, DISCIPLINE,
AND EDUCATION ARE THE REAL WORLD.
NOW, I'M PLACING TOMMY AND CHARLES
IN TEMPORARY CUSTODY OF THIS COURT.
AND WHEN THINGS SETTLE DOWN,
I'LL LET YOU GO BACK TO THE FARM WITH TERRY.
DAVID AND JEFFREY, MICHAEL AND JASON

- SIX MONTHS?
JUDGE, I JUST NEED SOME TEMPORARY HELP.
NOT THIS.
- WHAT WE NEED HERE IS STABILITY, TERRY.
- I CAME AND I ASKED YOU FOR HELP, SARAH HALL,
AND LOOK WHAT I GOT,
MY BROTHERS TAKEN AWAY FROM ME FOR SIX MONTHS.
- TERRY, I'M SORRY--I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN.
- I DON'T CARE WHAT THE JUDGE SAID.
I'M NOT GOING WITH IT. - TERRY...
NOW, TERRY, IT'S BEEN WORKED OUT
THAT THE BOYS WILL BE PLACED AT THE PALMER FARM.
NOW, YOU KNOW THAT'S JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM YOU.
- THE NEED TO BE WITH ME, L RIGHT?
- IT'S THE LAW, TERRY.
IT'S SIX MONTHS.
NOW, THEY'LL HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED.
YOU CAN SEE THEM EVERY DAY.
- I AIN'T GOIN'!
- LISTEN, GUYS, I DIDN'T KNOW
IT WAS GONNA TURN OUT LIKE THIS, EITHER,
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

- OH, JUST FINE, LEE.
THIS HERE MAKES $70,000 ON THE DAY.
WE HAD A GOOD ONE. - OH, TERRY,
YOU'RE MAKING US BOTH LOOK GOOD.
FOLKS AT THE BIG OFFICE ARE STARTING TO TAKE NOTICE
OF OUR OUTPUT.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
WE'RE DOING SO DARN GOOD,
WE MAY JUST LOSE YOU. - WHAT?
- WELL, THERE'S TALK OF A MANAGER'S JOB
AT SONNY BELL'S OTHER HATCHERY.
- MANAGER'S JOB?
LEE, YOU KNOW IF I GOT THAT MANGER'S JOB,
I'D GET MY BROTHERS BACK.
- NOW, DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS JUST YET.
THEY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE
AND HOW HARD YOU'RE WORKING WITH YOUR FAMILY
WITH TWO JOBS AND ALL.
[indistinct radio chatter]
MORNIN'. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
- TERRY O'KELLEY?
- YES, SIR, THAT'S ME.
- GOT A WARRANT HERE FOR YOUR ARREST, SON.
- MY ARREST? - BAD CHECK CHARGE.
- I HAVEN'T WRITTEN ANY BAD CHECKS.
- THERE MUST BE SOME KIND OF MISTAKE HERE.
- THIRD TIME TODAY I'VE HEARD THAT.
- I FIGURED OUT REAL QUICK IT WAS WAYNE.
NOW THAT I HAVE A RECORD, THE JUDGE WILL NEVER
GIVE ME MY BROTHERS BACK. - TERRY...
- I'M GONNA GET EVEN WITH THAT-- - STOP IT!
NOW, CALM DOWN AND THINK.
THIS ISN'T GONNA GO ON YOUR RECORD.
WE'LL TAKE IT TO COURT, SHOW YOUR SIGNATURE,
GET THE CASE THROWN OUT.
IT'S YOUR FATHER WHO'S IN TROUBLE, NOT YOU.
- MS. DONALDSON, EVERY TIME I GET AHEAD,
WAYNE SHOWS UP AND RUINS IT.
- TERRY, FOR EVERYONE LIKE YOUR FATHER,
THERE ARE TEN MORE PULLING FOR YOU,
TRYING TO HELP.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF.
- I CAN'T TRUST NOBODY BUT MYSELF.
- I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
I WANT TO HELP YOU.
TERRY, I KNOW HOW TO DO THINGS.
- I THOUGHT YOU REPRESENTED MY BROTHERS, NOT ME.
- I DO REPRESENT THEM.
I REPRESENT THEIR BEST INTERESTS,
AND THAT CLEARLY INVOLVES YOU.
- YOU MEAN THAT? - ABSOLUTELY.
NOW...HERE'S MY PHONE NUMBER.
IF WAYNE CAUSES YOU ANY MORE TROUBLE,
OR YOU NEED ANYTHING, CALL.
ALL RIGHT?
- ALL RIGHT.

- WELL, THEN, YES, MA'AM, IF YOU'D PREFER THAT.
UM... DOROTHY...
[both chuckle]

- OH, YES.
HE'S A GOOD BUSINESSMAN.
HE'S HELPED A LOT OF PEOPLE.
I JUST WOULDN'T WANT THIS PUBLICITY TO GET OUT OF HAND.
- ME NEITHER.
- I CAN'T BELIEVE DAN JUST GAVE US THIS STUFF.
- YEAH, AND HE LOANED US THE TRUCK TOO.
- AND THE FOOD AND CLOTHES HE BROUGHT OUT YESTERDAY.
- YEAH, I THINK IT'S BEST IF YOU CALL HIM "MR. WESTON."
- WELL, HE SAID TO CALL HIM DAN.
SAID HE'S GOT A JOB FOR CHARLES AFTER SCHOOL--
HELP DELIVER APPLIANCES.
[siren wailing] HEY.
HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?

[indistinct shouting]

IT SHOULD BE STOPPED.
- WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO, TERRY?
- OH, MY...
[fire roaring]
- HERE'S WHAT STARTED IT. - THE HEATER?
- Y'ALL MUST HAVE GONE OFF AND LEFT IT ON.
IT SHORTED OUT.
[clattering]
WERE YOU ABLE TO SAVE ANYTHING AT ALL?
- NOT MUCH.
IT WAS PRETTY WELL GONE WHEN THEY GOT HERE.
- IT'S OUR FAMILY ALBUM.
[sobbing]
- COME ON, TERRY, THERE AIN'T A THING YOU CAN DO HERE.
COME ON, Y'ALL COMIN' HOME WITH ME.
COME ON.

DESSERT...
AND THEN CLEANUP TIME.
YOUR ROOMS ARE A MESS.

I KNOW BOYS'LL BE BOYS AND ALL THAT,
BUT DIANE NEEDS A LITTLE HELP HERE.
- OH, YEAH, WE'RE GONNA PICK UP, RIGHT?
- SURE. - MM-HMM.
- BOY, THAT LOOKS GREAT.
- I'LL TELL YOU WHAT ELSE LOOKS GREAT
IS ALL THE MAIL THAT'S BEEN COMING IN FOR YOU BOYS.
DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR STORY'S BEEN PICKED UP
BY NEWSPAPERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY?
- I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY MAIL EXCEPT FOR ONE OR TWO LETTERS.
- WELL, THERE'S NO NEED TO CONCERN YOURSELF WITH IT.
THE CHURCH IS OPENING IT FOR YOU,
AND THE MONEY'S GOING STRAIGHT INTO THE FUND THE CHURCH HAS SET UP.
BUT Y'ALL CAN WRITE THANK YOU NOTES LATER, IF YOU WANT.
- WELL, IS IT A LOT OF MONEY?
- WELL, A COUPLE THOUSAND ALREADY.
BUT MONEY'S NOT ALL.
- WHAT IS IT, TERRY?
- ORLANDO? - DISNEY WORLD.
HOW 'BOUT THAT?
- [laughs] OH HO. - WOW.
- A WEALTHY BUSINESSMAN HAS INVITED Y'ALL DOWN
FOR SEVERAL DAYS, AND IT'S ALL FREE.
- HOW NICE. - [chuckles]
- ALL RIGHT! - NO, NO, I CAN'T GO, GUYS.
WE CAN'T GO, ALL RIGHT? I'M SORRY.
I GOT A MANAGER'S JOB COMING UP,
AND LEE, AND TOMMY, YOU JUST STARTED--
- NO, IT'S NO SWEAT.
I ALREADY TALKED TO JACK KOBOL,
THE HEAD OF SONNY BELL. - NO.
- HE'S GONNA CLEAR IT FOR BOTH OF Y'ALL TO BE OFF.
- TERRY, COME ON.
- I DON'T KNOW. - AW, COME ON, TERRY.
HECK, EASE UP.
YOU'RE SOUNDING LIKE AN OLD MAN.
THIS IS A CHANCE OF A LIFETIME.
- KICK BACK A LITTLE, TERRY.
- THERE'S GONNA BE LOTS OF EXTRA PUBLICITY IN THIS, TERRY.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE NEWSPAPERS AND TV IN ORLANDO,
AND WHEN Y'ALL GET BACK THIS WEEKEND,
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A TV CREW HERE TO DO A STORY.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE ALL YOU BOYS TOGETHER.
- THE TV CREWS, AND IT'S JUST SO FAST, DAN.
I DON'T KNOW.
- TERRY, YOU GOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS, SON.
THE MORE PUBLICITY, THE MORE MONEY.
AND THAT JUST BRINGS THE DAY CLOSER
WHEN YOU GET THE BOYS BACK.
THE BOYS, TERRY. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.
- TERRY. - MORNING.
HEY, LEE, MORNIN'.
- WELL, BACK FROM THE MAGIC KINGDOM.
- YEAH.
- COME TO GET YOUR LAST PAYCHECK, EH?
- QUIT FOOLIN' AROUND. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I'M READY TO START WORK.
- WE THOUGHT YOU QUIT, TERRY.
- QUIT? NO. I DIDN'T QUIT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- WITH ALL THE PUBLICITY ABOUT THE FUND,
WE FIGURED YOU JUST DIDN'T NEED THE JOB ANYMORE.
- WAIT...WAIT.
DAN WESTON SPOKE TO JACK KOBOL DOWNTOWN...
AT--AT SONNY BELL'S.
- I DIDN'T HEAR NOTHIN' FROM KOBOL, NOTHIN'.
IF I HAD ANY IDEA, BUT...
WITH YOU GONE A WEEK...
THE FOLKS DOWNTOWN TOLD ME TO FILL THE JOB.
- THAT WAS MY JOB, LEE.
- TERRY, I CAN... PUT YOU IN A DRIVER POSITION
UNTIL SOMETHING BETTER COMES ALONG.
- THAT WAS MY JOB, LEE.
- MY HANDS ARE TIED, TERRY.
I'M SORRY.
[sighs]
- WELL--WELL, WHEN DO YOU EXPECT HIM BACK?
OH, ALL RIGHT. UH...YES.
PLEASE TELL HIM THAT DAN WESTON CALLED.
YEAH. THANK YOU.
- WELL...SOMEHOW, THE WORD JUST NEVER GOT ALONG
TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE, AND NOW KOBOL'S OUT OF TOWN
AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED.
- YEAH, I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, DAN. I LOST MY JOB.
- TERRY, I'M SORRY, BUT IT'S JUST A JOB, SON.
- HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THEY TOOK AWAY
YOUR APPLIANCE STORE, DAN? - OH, COME ON NOW, TERRY.
LOOK--LOOK, I GOT A PLACE FOR YOU.
YOU CAN LEARN THE APPLIANCE BUSINESS.
- DAN, THEY WERE GONNA MAKE ME A MANAGER!
ALL RIGHT? NOW I'M NOTHING.
- TERRY.
OHH.
- [crying] THEY TOOK AWAY MY JOB.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
- WHEN WE WENT TO FLORIDA,
THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO WORK IT OUT,
BUT THEY DIDN'T. - HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
THEY CAN'T JUST TAKE YOUR JOB AWAY.
- BUT THEY DID! - WHO TOOK YOUR JOB?
- IT'S EVERYTHING I WORKED FOR!
IT'S ALL GONE.
NOBODY CAN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT TO ME.
- I KNOW WHAT THAT JOB MEANT TO YOU.
I KNOW WHAT IT MEANT.
- [crying]
- DAN!
- HEY THERE.
THANK YOU, MA'AM.
[engine starts]
HOW'S IT GOING?
- ALL RIGHT.
BUT, UH, FRANKLY,
I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT TERRY.
THAT JOB AT THE HATCHERY MEANT A GREAT DEAL TO HIM.
- YEAH, IT WAS A COMEDY OF ERRORS, I'M AFRAID.
PARTLY MY FAULT FOR NOT CHECKING
TO MAKE SURE THINGS GOT COVERED, BUT, UH...
I THINK HE'LL FIGURE OUT
AIR CONDITIONERS SMELL A LOT BETTER THAN CHICKENS.
- WELL, I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PUBLICITY TOO.
NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES, TELEVISION--
IT'S ALL A LITTLE MINDBOGGLING.
I'M NOT SURE IT'S GOOD FOR THE BOYS.
THEY'RE NOT SOPHISTICATED KIDS.
- BUT, DOROTHY, IT'S WORKING.
IT'S GETTING RESULTS.
MONEY IS POURING IN. FOLKS WANT TO HELP.
YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PLANS FOR THE NEW HOUSE?
- NO.
- YEAH, PLANS FOR A NEW HOUSE FOR THE BOYS.
IT'S 1,600 SQUARE FEET, FOUR BEDROOMS.
THE HOMEBUILDERS ASSOCIATION WANTS TO DONATE
ALL THE MATERIALS, AND RIGHT NOW,
WE'RE LOOKING FOR FREE LABOR.
- A HOUSE? WHERE?
- RIGHT THERE ON THEIR OWN LAND
TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT BURNT DOWN.
IT'S THE BEST SHOT THEY'VE GOT AT GETTING BACK TOGETHER.
WE'VE GOT A SNOWBALL ROLLING HERE, DOROTHY.
- YEAH?
WELL, DON'T LET THAT SNOWBALL GET AWAY FROM YOU, DAN.
AND DON'T LET TERRY GET LOST IN THE SHUFFLE.
- THERE'S A BIG BREAKFAST AREA RIGHT HERE NEXT TO THE KITCHEN.
- UH-HUH. - AND RIGHT BACK HERE
IS A LAUNDRY ROOM, SO Y'ALL WON'T HAVE TO TOTE
EVERYTHING UP TO THE WASH-A-TERIA.
- WELL. - WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
- A HOUSE? - YEAH.
- MAYBE THE JUDGE'LL GIVE ME MY BROTHERS BACK.
- WELL, THIS WILL CERTAINLY HELP.
I MEAN, TO HAVE A NICE PLACE THAT'LL HOLD ALL OF YOU.
IN FACT, I'VE GOT LAWYERS WORKING ON THAT RIGHT NOW
WITH JUDGE MCLAUREN.
AND--AND THIS'LL HELP TOO.
- WAIT, WAIT. WHAT'S THIS?
- THIS MAKES US CO-GUARDIANS OF THE BOYS.
- "US"?
- YEAH, ME AND YOU.
- BUT WHY "US"?
- WELL, IT'S SO THAT YOUR DADDY CAN'T JUST BARGE IN
AND, UH, MESS EVERYTHING UP.
- WAYNE CALLED ME YESTERDAY.
I THINK HE'S GETTING ITCHY ABOUT ALL THE MONEY
IN THE CHURCH FUND.
- YEAH, WELL, THIS'LL STOP HIM DEAD IN HIS TRACKS
BECAUSE NOW HE'LL HAVE ME TO DEAL WITH.
I MEAN, ME AND THE COUNTY.
SO YOU WANNA GIVE ME YOUR AUTOGRAPH THERE,
MR. O'KELLEY?
- UNIT TWO, THIS IS TO CONFIRM
A CHECK ON THAT LICENSE NUMBER.
OUTSTANDING WARRANT FOR CHILD ABANDONMENT.
- THAT'S A 10-4. BRING HIM ON IN.
[indistinct radio chatter]
- LOOKS LIKE BUSTED TAILLIGHT AND SPEEDING
AREN'T YOUR ONLY PROBLEMS, MISTER.
THERE'S A WARRANT OUT FOR YOUR ARREST
ON CHILD ABANDONMENT CHARGES.
- I DON'T KNOW NOTHIN' ABOUT NO CHILD ABANDONMENT.
- TELL IT TO THE D.A., BUBBA.
[overlapping shouting]
- YEAH, LET'S GET THIS TRUCK UNLOADED FIRST.
OKAY, COME ON.
- HERE YOU GO, CATCH!
- AH, YEAH. - COME ON.
- GOOD. - YEAH, NICE.
[laughs]
- GIVE ME THAT HEADER NOW.
- ALL RIGHT. - THE 4x6.
[indistinct chatter and hammering]
- WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THIS, TERRY?
- I SUPPOSE IT'S PRETTY GOOD.
SIX MONTHS AGO, I DIDN'T HAVE A FRIEND IN THE WORLD.
NOW I GOT MORE THAN I CAN SHAKE A STICK AT.
- AND BY DARK, YOU'LL HAVE THE BEGINNING OF A HOUSE.
- YEAH, I JUST WISH MY MAMA WAS AROUND TO SEE IT.
SHE'D HAVE NEVER DREAMED ABOUT LIVING IN ANYTHING THAT PRETTY.
- THANK YOU, TERRY O'KELLEY.
- HEY, THAT WAS GREAT.
WHATCHA SAY WE GET SOME SHOTS OF THE CONSTRUCTION NOW.
- GOOD IDEA.
- OH, THIS MANY GUYS WORKING AT ONCE,
THE FRAMING OUGHT TO COME ALONG PRETTY QUICKLY.
- HEY, TERRY. - HEY, WHAT'S UP, DAN?
- TERRY, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET DOUG BARRON,
FROM THE HOMEBUILDERS ASSOCIATION.
- MR. BARRON, IT'S MY PLEASURE.
I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT THIS MEANS TO ME AND MY BROTHERS.
- AH, GLAD TO HELP, TERRY.
DAN HERE HAS TOLD ME A LOT ABOUT YOU BOYS.
- YEAH, WELL, FOLKS WE DON'T EVEN KNOW
HAVE BEEN GIVING US A LOT OF HELP.
- THAT'S TRUE. ROBERTA, DID YOU KNOW
WE HAVE $57,000 IN THE TRUST FUND ALREADY?
BUT, UH, THIS HERE IS ALL DONATED MATERIALS AND LABOR.
- YEAH, WE OUGHT TO HAVE THE ROOF ON BY DARK.
OF COURSE, THE INSIDE IS GONNA TAKE A LITTLE WHILE.
- THAT'S AMAZING.
- NOW, WHAT'S AMAZING IS TWO BATHROOMS,
'CAUSE CHARLES COULD SPEND ALL DAY SLICKING DOWN HIS HAIR.
- YEAH, YOU COULD PRACTICE SHAVING IN ONE OF 'EM.
[laughter]
- GET A SAWHORSE.
- BRING ME UP A PIECE OF SKIM WOOD!
- TERRY! - TERRY!
TERRY!
[all shouting]
TERRY! - OHH!
[laughing] HOW YOU GUYS DOING?
WHAT'S UP, PAL? - HOW YOU DOING?
- HOW YOU DOIN'? HEY.

- OH? - YEAH, YOU BETCHA.
- LORD, Y'ALL GROWN A FOOT SINCE I SEEN YOU LAST WEEK.
LOOK AT OL' RUNT THERE.
- HEY, LOOK AT THIS PLACE RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS OUR NEW HOUSE, BROTHERS.
- AWESOME.
- DOESN'T HAVE NO BED BUGS, DOES IT?
- NOT UNLESS YOU BRING 'EM WITH YOU.
- CAN I HAVE A GOAT? - SURE YOU CAN.
YOU CAN HAVE A GOAT. YOU CAN HAVE A DOG.
YOU CAN HAVE A HORSE. ANYTHING.
- CAN WE STAY WITH YOU NOW, TERRY?
- YEAH, THIS WEEKEND'S OURS, GUYS.
WE'RE STAYING THE NIGHT AT THE WESTON'S.
[all cheer] ALL RIGHT, COME ON.
COME ON, LET ME SHOW YOU AROUND.
- AH. - THEY LOOK GOOD.
- IT'S GREAT SEEING Y'ALL TOGETHER AGAIN.
- YEP.
- TERRY, THIS IS VERY EXCITING.
WELL! LET'S GET TO WORK.
- IT'S TWO Ps IN "APPRECIATE," JASON.
- HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH?
- 'CAUSE I STUDIED HARD, LIKE YOU BETTER DO.
BESIDES, TERRY SAYS I MAY BE A COLLEGE BOY SOMEDAY.
- [laughs]
- HEY, GET YOUR FEET OFF THE SOFA. COME ON.
GET 'EM OFF. GET 'EM OFF!
HEY, WHERE'D YOU GET THOSE?
- WELL, DAN BOUGHT 'EM FOR ME.
YOU LIKE 'EM?
- SINCE WHEN DO YOU NEED FANCY SHOES?
- OH, CHILL OUT, TERRY.
- I'M SERIOUS, TOMMY.
- HEY, HERE'S A GUY THAT WROTE ALL THE WAY FROM ENGLAND.
- DON'T ANSWER THAT ONE. YOU DON'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE.
- HOW'S IT GOING IN HERE?
- FINE.
AS SOON AS THEY FINISH UP HERE,
I'M ORGANIZING A CLEANUP DETAIL.
THEY TRACKED MUD IN THE FRONT DOOR,
AND THE HALLWAY IS A MESS.
- WELCOME TO O'KELLEY LAND.
HEY, TERRY, I NEED TO SEE YOU A SECOND.
- LET ME HELP THE GUYS FINISH WRITING THANK-YOU NOTES FIRST.
- OH, THOSE DON'T CONCERN YOU. COME ON.
- DAN, WHAT DO YOU MEAN THOSE LETTERS DON'T CONCERN ME?
FOLKS WROTE THOSE LETTERS BY HAND.
PEOPLE JUST LIKE US, 'CEPT THEY GOT A LITTLE MORE MONEY.
- OH, I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE UNIMPORTANT.
I'M JUST SAYING LET THE KIDS TAKE CARE OF THAT.
THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO SEE.
- WHAT'S THIS?
- IT'S, UH, NEW GUARDIANSHIP PAPERS.
- YEAH, BUT YOU'RE ALREADY THE CO-GUARDIAN.
- YEAH, BUT THIS WILL INCLUDE YOUR PROPERTY,
SO WE CAN KEEP YOUR FATHER FROM GETTING HIS HANDS ON IT.
THE FARM, THE TRUST FUND, ALL TOTAL
IS GETTING TO BE A SIZEABLE AMOUNT.
- YEAH, WELL, WAYNE'S ALREADY IN JAIL.
- IT DON'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.
HE'S STILL YOUR NATURAL FATHER.
HE'S GOT THE FINAL SAY.
- DAN, I'M NOT SIGNING THAT.
- TERRY, YOU NEED TO SIGN THIS SO THAT I CAN PROTECT YOU
FROM YOUR FATHER.
- NO, DAN. THIS IS GONE TOO FAR.
I DON'T NEED YOU TO PROTECT ME FROM WAYNE.
HE'S ALREADY SIGNED AWAY HIS HOLD THROUGH HIS LAWYER.
BUT YOU'VE GOT ME TO GIVE AWAY MY CHECKING ACCOUNT,
YOU BUY MY BROTHERS NEW SHOES, FANCY SHOES.
AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO SIGN AWAY EVERYTHING I OWN.
- LOOK, TERRY... I AM PAYING LAWYERS GOOD MONEY
TO WORK THIS OUT FOR YOU, SON!
- YOU'RE PAYING LAWYERS, YOU'RE BUILDING THE HOUSE,
YOU'RE DOING THIS, YOU'RE DOING THAT!
I DON'T EVEN WANT THIS PUBLICITY FOR ME AND MY BROTHERS!
OKAY? I'M LOSING CONTROL.
NOW, COME ON. PACK YOUR STUFF.
WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, TERRY?
- I SAID MOVE IT!
NOW, COME ON. LET'S GO.
- WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? - COME ON, GO.
- WHAT'S HAPPENING? - MOVE IT.
- TERRY...TERRY, DON'T BE STUPID, NOW.
TERRY, YOU'RE GONNA MESS EVERYTHING UP.
I HOPE YOU KNOW THE HOUSE MAY NOT GET FINISHED.
PEOPLE WON'T WANT TO HELP AN INGRATE.
- DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO, DAN.
- [sighs]
- TERRY? - DAN AND ME,
WE HAD A BLOWUP.
IT WAS OVER THE PUBLICITY AND OVER THE MONEY, AND...
IT'S JUST GOTTEN WAY OUT OF CONTROL.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO GO, DOROTHY.
- HERE.
TERRY, I DON'T HAVE ANY AUTHORITY
TO KEEP YOU BOYS.
THE COUNTY'S PLACED YOU.
UHH! [sighs]
- THE HECK WITH THE COUNTY.
COME ON IN. WE GOT PLENTY OF ROOM.
- THANK YOU. - BLESS YOU.
- THANK YOU.
- ALL RIGHT, THANKS. BYE.
WELL...
JUST TALKED TO SARAH HALL.
SHE SAYS IT'S ALL RIGHT FOR THE BOYS TO STAY HERE
THE WEEKEND. - GOOD.
- LITTLE ONES GO BACK TO FOSTER CARE TOMORROW ANYWAY.
SO...DID YOU FIND ENOUGH SHEETS FOR THE BEDS?
- OH, YEAH.
AND EVERY SLEEPING BAG WE OWN.
- [laughs]
- COME HERE, I GOT SOMETHING I WANT YOU TO SEE.
[thunder rumbles]
[rain falling]
[thunder rumbles]
- GREAT DAY FOR A SWIM, HUH?
- YEAH, I FEEL LIKE JUMPING IN AND NEVER COMING BACK.
- DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF.
- I BLEW IT.
- SOME OF IT, MAYBE.
DAN WESTON'S GIVING UP HIS CO-GUARDIANSHIP.
IN FACT, HE'S WASHING HIS HANDS OF THE WHOLE BUSINESS.
CHURCH FUND, EVERYTHING.
- [sighs]
HOW 'BOUT THE HOUSE?
- SUBCONTRACTORS HAVE STOPPED WORK.
- I SHOULDN'T HAVE RUN OFF.
HE WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP ME.
BUT...
I DON'T KNOW, IT WAS LIKE
I WAS LOSING CONTROL OF EVERYTHING.
DECISIONS WERE BEING MADE FOR ME,
AND--AND I WASN'T EVEN INVOLVED ANYMORE.
AND ALL I COULD KEEP THINKING WAS,
IT WAS ME THAT PROMISED MAMA.
I PROMISED HER. AND I GOTTA ANSWER.
- I KNOW.
- BUT ALL I DID WAS LET HER DOWN.
AND THEN I GO RUNNING OFF BY MYSELF.
I'M STUPID.
I'M REALLY STUPID.
- NO.
YOU ARE AN 18-YEAR-OLD BOY
WHO WAS TRYING TO HANDLE A SITUATION
THAT WOULD BUFFALO MOST 40-YEAR-OLD MEN.
TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, TERRY...
AND LEARN FROM IT.
- DOUG.
- GOOD MORNING. - HI.
- JUST PICKING UP SOME PERMITS.
BUSINESS IS BOOMING.
- OH, GLAD TO HEAR IT.
UH, DOUG, I'M SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE O'KELLEY HOUSE.
I-I WAS HOPING IT'D GET FINISHED.
- WELL, TO BE PERFECTLY FRANK WITH YOU,
THE GUYS JUST DIDN'T SEE MUCH POINT IN IT.
I MEAN, AFTER ALL DAN WESTON DID FOR THOSE KIDS,
AND TERRY TO RUN OFF LIKE THAT.
HE'S A HOTHEAD, DOROTHY.
AND HE DOESN'T APPRECIATE MUCH OF--
- NO, NO, NO.
HE DOES APPRECIATE WHAT PEOPLE HAVE DONE FOR HIM.
AND HE'S NOT A HOTHEAD.
HE'S...THE MOST SINGLE-MINDED PERSON,
YOUNG OR OLD, I'VE EVER MET.
AND HE IS TOTALLY DEDICATED TO GETTING THOSE BOYS
BACK TOGETHER.
HE AND DAN JUST DIDN'T AGREE ON HOW TO DO IT.
- WELL...IT'S A SHAME WHAT HAPPENED.
- YES.
I HOPE THE ASSOCIATION WILL RECONSIDER...
AFTER THINGS DIE DOWN A LITTLE.
- MAYBE. WE'LL SEE.
- DOROTHY, WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
- YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS PLACE?
- YEAH, MY PAW PAW SOLD IT WHEN MY NANA DIED.
- HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE IT?
- HAVE IT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "HAVE IT"?
- THERE'S A MAN I KNOW
THAT'S WILLING TO BUY IT AND LEASE IT TO YOU
FOR A DOLLAR A YEAR.
HOUSE AND CHICKEN SHEDS.
- WHO? WHY?
- WELL, HE WANTS TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS.
HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT YOU. WANTS TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE.
- A HOUSE?
HEY, WE CAN PUT SOME LAYERS IN THEM CHICKEN HOUSES.
I KNOW ALL ABOUT CHICKENS. - [chuckles]
- AND SONNY BELL, THEY'D GIVE ME A CONTRACT
IF WAYNE WASN'T HERE.
BUT I DON'T WANT IT IF I CAN'T HAVE MY BROTHERS BACK.
- OH, WE'LL WORK ON THAT TOO.
I HAVE SOMEONE I WANT YOU TO MEET.
[phone ringing]
- MR. O'KELLEY? - YES, MA'AM?

IT'S THE LAST DOOR ON THE LEFT.
- THANK YOU.

DOROTHY, UH, DOROTHY'S TOLD ME A LOT ABOUT YOU.
SHE SAYS YOU'RE MADE OF PRETTY GOOD STUFF.
- YEAH, I OWE DOROTHY A GREAT DEAL, SIR,
MORE THAN I COULD EVER TELL YOU.
SHE'S THE BEST FRIEND I HAVE RIGHT NOW.
UM, THIS SUBPOENA, THE ONE CHARGING MY FATHER.
UH, I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO COURT, DO IT?
- OH, YEAH. YOU HAVE TO HONOR THE SUBPOENA.
- BUT DO I HAVE TO TESTIFY?
- NO...UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TESTIFY
AGAINST ANY MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY.
- SIR, I DON'T WANT NOTHIN' TO DO WITH IT.
YOU KNOW, WHATEVER HE'S DONE TO ME AND MY BROTHERS...
HE'S STILL MY DADDY.
- I UNDERSTAND.
- DOROTHY SAID YOU CAN HELP ME GET MY BROTHERS BACK.
IS THAT TRUE?
- OH, I WOULDN'T BE SO SURE ABOUT THAT.
IT'S NEVER HAPPENED IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA BEFORE, TERRY.
A TEENAGER IN CHARGE OF A LARGE FAMILY OF MINOR CHILDREN.
- YES, SIR, IT HAS.
I WAS IN CHARGE OF THEM FOR A LONG TIME AFTER MAMA DIED.
I KEPT 'EM IN SCHOOL AND I KEPT 'EM FED AND CLOTHED,
AND STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE WITH DRUGS.
- I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT.
- I'D STILL BE IN CHARGE OF 'EM
IF IT WASN'T FOR THE COURTS.
- I CAN'T GUARANTEE THE OUTCOME.
BUT I'M PREPARED TO TRY.
- THANK YOU, MR. KINCAID.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
I HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY YOU, THOUGH.
- YOU DON'T NEED ANY MONEY.
THIS ONE'S ON ME.
- YES, SIR.
I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT, SIR.
[distant train whistle]
- BUYING A CAR LIKE THAT
WAS A REAL STUPID THING TO DO, TOMMY.
- YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS
'CAUSE YOU'RE STILL DRIVING THAT OLD HEAP.
- NO, NO, TOMMY.
JUST THAT I GOT SOME BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH MY MONEY, THAT'S ALL IT IS.
- WELL, MY MONEY IS MY MONEY,
AND YOU CAN'T BOSS ME AROUND ABOUT EVERYTHING ANYMORE.
- YEAH. - HEY, RICH BOY!
GOT ANY MONEY FOR US?
[car horn honks]
- HEY. - HI.
HOW'S IT COMING? - UH, PRETTY GOOD.
WITH ALL THE STUFF THAT WAS DONATED,
MOST OF THE HOUSE IS FURNISHED.

- SOME YOUNG PUNKS JUST DROVE DOWN THE ROAD
BEFORE YOU CAME,
HOLLERING AND SHOUTING AT US.
- YOU GET MUCH OF THAT?
- YEAH. A BELLYFUL.
THE GUYS GET A LOT OF IT AT SCHOOL.
- WELL, THERE'S...
BOUND TO BE JEALOUSY AND RESENTMENT.
ALL THE PUBLICITY AND THE MONEY.
TRY NOT TO LET IT BOTHER YOU.
LOOK...I BROUGHT YOU A HOUSEWARMING PRESENT.
- THIS IS GREAT.
I NEED SOME BLANKETS.
- HOW ARE THE LITTLE GUYS? - OH, THEY'RE JUST FINE.
I'M BRINGING THEM BACK TO THE PALMERS IN A MINUTE.
WHY DON'T YOU COME ON IN AND VISIT FOR A WHILE?
- AH, NO, I-- TOM'S WAITING SUPPER.
I HAVE SOME NEWS FOR YOU, TERRY.
YOUR FATHER PLED GUILTY TO THE CHARGES OF ABANDONMENT,
STEALING THE INHERITANCE, AND FORGERY.
HE GOT A THREE-YEAR ACTIVE SENTENCE
AND TEN MORE PROBATION.
- IS HE GOING TO PRISON?
- YES.
- [sighs]
- I NEVER, EVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE COME TO THIS.
ALL RIGHT, I DON'T WANT THE LITTLE GUYS TO KNOW.
I'LL TELL THEM...LATER.
- NO, I UNDERSTAND.
THE QUESTION NOW IS...
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BOYS WHILE HE'S GONE?
- WHAT DOES HAPPEN TO US?
- WELL, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK UP A RECOMMENDATION
FOR THE JUDGE, THE TWO LAWYERS,
THE DEFENSE PEOPLE, AND ME.
- WHAT DO THEY WANT TO DO?
- WELL...
I'M RECOMMENDING ALL THE BOYS LIVE HERE WITH YOU.
- YOU MEAN THAT, DOROTHY? - [chuckles]
YES.
[kids laughing]
- LOOK AT YOU BUNCH OF LAZY BUMS.
COME ON, TOMMY, YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO SET UP
THIS BOX SPRING AND MATTRESS.
- IT WAS TOO MUCH LIKE WORK.
- OH, YEAH? WELL, YOU CAN EITHER WORK
OR YOU CAN FIX THE DINNER.

CUT OFF MY HAIR. ANYTHING BUT TOMMY'S DINNER.
- HEY, PIPE DOWN, I CAN'T HEAR THE CARTOON.

WE GOT A COURT DATE COMING UP, ALL RIGHT?
LET'S GET THIS PLACE A LITTLE BIT SHAPED UP.
TOMMY, GET UP AND HELP CHARLES.
I'M TAKING THE LITTLE GUYS BACK TO THE PALMERS.
- BUT WE HAVEN'T FINISHED WATCHING THE CARTOON.
- OH, 'SCUSE ME.
OH, I WAS THINKING ABOUT COOKIES AND ICE CREAM,
BUT, YOU KNOW-- - NO! NO, NO, NO!
[overlapping shouting]
- WELL, WHAT'S FOR SUPPER?
- WELL, WHY DON'T YOU LET JASON FINISH HIS COOKIE?
I DON'T WANT MRS. PALMER THINKING

- EDWINA WYLIE, YOUR HONOR.
- YES, ALL RIGHT.
TERRY, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE A LIVING
OFF THAT CHICKEN FARM?
- WELL, YES, SIR. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
IF THERE'S ONE THING I KNOW, IT'S CHICKENS.
AND NOW THAT I GOT ENOUGH MONEY,
I CAN GET THEM CHICKEN COOPS FIXED UP,
AND SONNY BELL'S GONNA GIVE ME A CONTRACT.
- UH, MS. WYLIE, IS THE FATHER IN AGREEMENT WITH THIS?
- HE'LL GO ALONG WITH IT AS A TEST, YOUR HONOR,
SINCE YOU'LL KEEP THE CASE UNDER YOUR JURISDICTION.
- ALL RIGHT.
NOW, ALL THE PARTIES INVOLVED HAVE RECOMMENDED
THAT, UH, TERRY GET CUSTODY OF TOMMY, CHARLES,
DAVID, AND JEFF,

WE'LL SEE.

- YEAH, WELL, IT AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH.
THE ELECTRICIANS ARE COMING ON MONDAY,
AND THIS HAS GOT TO BE FINISHED BEFORE SONNY BELL
BRINGS THE LAYERS.
HEY, WHERE YOU GOING?

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

I GOT MY OWN CAR,
AND NOW I'M GONNA HAVE MY OWN PLACE.

- NOW, WHAT YOU NEED IS TO LET GO A LITTLE,
OR ELSE YOU'RE GONNA RUN THE REST OF 'EM OFF TOO.
I JUST GOTTA HAVE SOME BREATHING ROOM, MAN.
YOU'RE SMOTHERING US.
- YEAH, GO AHEAD, TOMMY. THROW IT ALL AWAY.
YOU ALREADY SPENT YOUR MONEY ON A CAR,
WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAVING IT FOR SCHOOL!
- IF YOU WANT TO SINK YOUR MONEY INTO CHICKENS, GO AHEAD!
I'M SICK OF CHICKENS!
SICK OF PEOPLE CALLING ME "CHICKEN BRAINS"!
I GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO!
- COME ON, TERRY. TERRY, COME ON.
IT'S SUPPERTIME. - NOT NOW, NOT NOW.
GIVE ME A BOARD.
- YOU JUST NEVER QUIT, DO YOU?
- YEAH, LIKE I CAN QUIT.
I GOTTA THINK ABOUT TOMORROW AND THE DAY AFTER THAT
AND THE NEXT YEAR.
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU BETTER START DOING TOO.
AND PRETTY DARN SOON.
- I AM, TERRY, I AM.
ABOUT NEXT YEAR, I-- I PLAN TO--
- WHAT ABOUT COLLEGE?
YOU GO TOOTIN' OFF LIKE TOMMY?
- COLLEGE, MAYBE. YOU KNOW, IF THE MONEY'S THERE
AND I-- - THE MONEY WILL BE THERE.
NOTHING WILL MAKE MAMA PROUDER.
- I KNOW. I KNOW, TERRY.
LET ME GIVE YOU A HAND.
- OH, NO. NO. NOT AGAIN.
[fire roaring]
NO! - OH!
- OH, NO! NOT AGAIN, NOT AGAIN!
[all shouting] GET BACK, GET BACK!
- TERRY! - NO, GET BACK!
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
WHY?
- [crying] TERRY, WHAT WENT WRONG?
PLEASE, STOP! PLEASE.
- IT'S ALL OVER. IT'S GONE. IT'S RUINED.
OHH.
[fire roaring]
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
- TALKED TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY THIS MORNING.
THEY'RE GONNA SEND AN ADJUSTOR OUT LATER IN THE DAY.
BUT YOUR INSURANCE JUST COVERS THE HOUSES THEMSELVES,
NOT YOUR IMPROVEMENTS.
- ALL THAT WORK.
$8,000 WORTH OF MONEY FROM THE TRUST FUND,
JUST UP IN SMOKE.
- COULDN'T HAVE COME AT A WORSE TIME, EITHER,
WITH THE HEARING IN LESS THAN A MONTH.
- IF YOU WANT TO POSTPONE IT, TERRY,
I'M SURE HE'D UNDERSTAND.
- I CAN'T THINK ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE, DOROTHY,
BUT HOW I WANT THEM TO BE.
I WANT MY FAMILY BACK.
I GOTTA FIND TOMMY.
- WHERE'S TOMMY?
- HE TOOK OFF. HE'S GONE.
HE'S GETTING HIS OWN PLACE.
HE SAYS HE'S 18, AND I'M SMOTHERING HIM.
- I GOTTA GET HIM BACK HERE.
- WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
- TOMMY DIDN'T GET HERE YET.
- HMM.
[man coughing]
- [sighs]
[child coughing]
[horn honking outside]
[door bursts open]
- [whispering] YOU FOUND HIM.
- [whispering] OH, YEAH. I SURE DID.
- ALL RISE. THIS COURT IS NOW IN SESSION.
THE HONORABLE JUDGE MCLAUREN PRESIDING.
[pounds gavel] - COURT'S IN SESSION.
WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT WE HAVE HERE.
TERRY, YOU'VE HAD QUITE A SETBACK OUT HERE.
SECOND FIRE IN TWO YEARS. - YES, SIR.
BUT I'M GONNA GET THAT CHICKEN COOP REBUILT, SIR.
WE STILL GOT OUR HOUSE, AND I GOT ME A NEW JOB.
- WHAT KIND OF JOB?
- I'M DRIVING A TRUCK AT THE HATCHERY, SIR.
- ALL RIGHT.
MS. WYLIE, DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT FOR THE COURT?
- YOUR HONOR, TERRY HAS TRIED HIS BEST,
BUT NO LONGER HAS THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES
TO COMPLY WITH YOUR ORDER.
THE BOY'S FATHER WANTS HIM IN FOSTER CARE.
- I SEE. - YOUR HONOR...
- YES?
- I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND TO THE COURT JUST THE OPPOSITE.
GIVE TERRY CUSTODY OF ALL THE BOYS.
HE'S MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EARLIER ORDER.
FOOD, SHELTER, DISCIPLINE, EDUCATION.
- THE FATHER IS CONCERNED AS TO HOW TERRY
WILL FINANCIALLY CARE FOR THE BOYS.
- I'M GETTING TO THAT.
NOW, I HAVE SUPPLIED YOU ALL WITH COPIES
OF THIS TRUST AGREEMENT FROM THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK.
THEY'RE ACCEPTING THE FUND FOR THE BOYS
THAT WAS SET UP BY THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
THE BANK WILL INVEST THE MONEY
AND PAY OUT $200 A MONTH FOR EACH MINOR CHILD.
- THE FATHER WAS NOT A PARTY TO THAT TRUST AGREEMENT.
- WELL, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE!
HE'S ALREADY SIGNED AN AGREEMENT
ALLOWING THE FUND TO BE MAINTAINED FOR THE BOYS.
DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER THE CHURCH DOES IT
OR SOME OTHER RESPONSIBLE ENTITY.
- BUT, YOUR HONOR-- - PLEASE.
JUST A MINUTE.
MS. DONALDSON, WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
- YOUR HONOR, THEY'VE GOT FREE HOUSING.
AND WITH THE RETURN ON THE INVESTMENTS
THAT THE BANK'LL MAKE,
THEY CAN MEET THEIR OTHER EXPENSES.
AS GUARDIAN AD LITEM,
I RECOMMEND THE BOYS BE TOGETHER.
- THANK YOU.
TERRY, I THINK YOU'VE, UH,
DONE AWFULLY WELL WITH WHAT YOU'VE HAD TO FACE.
UNFORTUNATELY, UH...
I'VE NEVER AWARDED CUSTODY TO SOMEONE AS YOUNG AS YOU ARE.
- JUDGE MCLAUREN, I'VE BEEN TRYING REAL HARD
AND FOR A LONG TIME TO KEEP THE PROMISE I MADE MY MAMA
BEFORE SHE DIED.
LORD KNOWS I HAVEN'T DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT, SIR.
BUT I'VE GROWN.
AND THEY'RE MY BROTHERS, JUDGE, AND I LOVE 'EM.
AND I WANT 'EM BACK.
I CAN HANDLE IT.
I PROMISE.
- THIS HAS BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT DECISION TO MAKE.
BUT I'M GONNA RULE IN YOUR FAVOR.
CUSTODY GRANTED.
[pounds gavel] DISMISSED!
[kids cheering]
[overlapping chatter]
- OH, CONGRATULATIONS.
- SARAH, THANK YOU. MR. KINCAID.
- OH, YOU DID IT. - THANK YOU SO MUCH.
[overlapping chatter and laughter]
- HEY, WHERE'S MY LUG-- HEY, GIVE ME BACK MY LUG NUTS,
JEFF AND DAVID. - COME AND GET IT.
- HEY. - YOU AIN'T THE BOSS, TERRY.
- HEY, I WOULDN'T SAY THAT IF I WERE YOU.
- YOU GUYS ARE GETTING TOO BIG FOR YOUR BRITCHES.
COME ON.
- I WOULDN'T SAY THAT IF I WERE YOU, BUDDY.
- HEY, TERRY!
[playful grunting and laughter]
TOMMY!
GUYS, IT'S TOMMY!
[indistinct chatter]
- CAN I GO FOR A RIDE?
- WELL, SURE.
EVERYBODY GETS A RIDE. - WOW, IT'S SO SHINY.
- STICK YOU RIGHT HERE IN THE SADDLE BAGS.
- WHERE'S YOUR CAR, TOMMY?
- WELL, UH...
A TREE RAN INTO ME.
[laughter]
WELL, I GUESS I THOUGHT I WAS RICHARD PETTY.
- HOW FAST DOES IT GO?
- WOW.
- IT'S SO SHINY!
- LOOK AT THE COLOR. - WOW!
- GOSH, IT'S NEAT. - IT'S COOL.
- YOU JUST VISITING?
- WELL, I THOUGHT I MIGHT STAY FOR A WHILE,
IF THAT'S OKAY.
I GOT A HANKERING FOR SOME OF CHARLES' MEATLOAF.
- YEAH, WE CAN FIT ONE MORE.
- YEAH. - YEAH.
- YEAH! - LET'S GO GET SOME MEATLOAF.
- YEAH! - COME ON, TOMMY.
[overlapping chatter]
- GO AHEAD, GIVE 'EM TO HER.
- WELL...MAMA... I DID IT.
WE'RE ALL TOGETHER.
I LOVE YOU, MAMA.

- LOVE YOU, MA.
