Brother.

Mother.

It was they who led me to your door.

The nuns taught us
there were two ways through life —

the way of nature...

and the way of grace.

You have to choose which one you'll follow.

Grace doesn't try to please itself.

Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked.

Accepts insults and injuries.

Nature only wants to please itself.

Bless, O Lord, this food —

Get others to please it too.

Your loving and faithful service —

Likes to lord it over them.

Bless these boys.

To have its own way.

It finds reasons to be unhappy

when all the world is shining around it...

and love is smiling through all things.

They taught us that no one
who loves the way of grace

ever comes to a bad end.

I will be true to you...

whatever comes.

Oh, God!

My son.

I just wanna die,

to be with him.

He's in God's hands now.

He was in God is hands the whole time.

Wasn't he?

My hope.

My God.

“I shall fear no evil.

Fear no evil, for you are with me.”

What did you gain?

“Be not far from me, for trouble is near.”

Go on now. We're all right.

We're all right.

Thank you. Thank you.

You have your memories of him and, uh —

You have to be strong now and —

I know, uh, the pain will —

It will pass in time, you know.

It might seem... hard, my saying that,

but it's true.

I don't want it to.

Life goes on.

People pass along.

Nothing stays the same.

You still got the other two.

- The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away.

That's the way he is.

He sends flies to wounds

that he should heal.

I never got a chance
to tell him how sorry I was.

One night he...

punched him — himself in the face

for no reason.

He was sittin' next to me at the piano,
and I criticized the way he'd turned the pages.

I made him feel shame.

My shame.

That poor boy.

That poor boy.

How did you come to me?

In what shape?

What disguise?

I see the child I was.

I see my brother.

True.

Kind.

He died when he was 19.

Just check this — this one against this.

She wants to get back together.

Chapter's closed. Story's been told.

What are you gonna do?

Experiment.

Yeah, it's all about your career.

You don't understand anything.

I just feel like I'm bumping into walls.

I don't know how to be fair.

The world is gone to the dogs.

People are greedy. They keep getting worse.

Years later —

They try to get you into their hands.

Drifting back into the same swamp.

Hey, Dad, I'm sorry I said what I said.

Yeah. Yeah. I think about him every day.

I just shouldn't have said what I did,
and I'm sorry.

No, it's just, oh... this day.

- What are you thinking?
- I know you did everything you could.

And only two of those
were turned down by the client.

How did I lose you?

Wandered?

Forgot you?

Remember.

Oh, no, you don't!

See? There, you're happy.

Kind of.

Okay?

So... we barely broke even.

Find me.

How did she bear it?

Mother.

Was I false to you?

Lord.

Why?

Where were you?

Did you know?

Who are we to you?

Answer me.

We cry to you.

My soul.

My son.

Hear us.

Light of my life.

I search for you.

My hope.

My child.

You spoke to me through her.

You spoke with me from the sky.

The trees.

Before I knew I loved you,

believed in you.

When did you first touch my heart?

Hang on. Here we go.

And manfully to fight
under his banner

against sin, the world, and the devil.

We had the commander over for dinner.
This little devil bit him right on the ankle.

Mama!

Me!

Rhinoceros.

Two alligator.

Two alligators.

Kangaroo.

Kangaroo.

Jump.

Jump. Jump.

Jump.

Jump.

Ah!

Sweetheart.

Shh. Please.

I know —

No! No.

It's mine!

You found me.

You'll be grown before that tree is tall.

Blue. Far.

You.

Were you afraid?

Come here.

- Come here.

Now, come back here, Son. Stay out of there.
That's the Spencers' yard, okay?

You see this line?

Let's not cross it. Do you understand?

Hmm? You understand?

You see this line? Lookit here. Look here.

Okay, now, come back here, Son.
Come on back here.

Stay out of there.

“‘Now, my dears,’
said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning,

‘you may go into the fields
or down the lane,

but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden.

Father had an accident there.’”

That's where God lives.

Good night.

We'll see you in five years.

Want to eat a grasshopper?

I found a dinosaur bone!

- Oh!
- Is that a rock?

No.

- Aah! Hey!

Boys!

Come home!

Hey!

Come home!

- Whoo-hoo-hoo!

You're filthy!

Bless this food to our use

and us to your loving and faithful service,

and make us ever mindful
of those who are in need.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Will you pass the butter, please?

- “Can you pass the butter please, sir?”
- Sir.

What'd you do today?

- Went to school.
- After that?

What about the yard?

Did you put the runners in, like I asked?

Yeah.

Yes, sir.

Well, it didn't look like it.

- Mmm?
- Yes, sir.

- Mr. Reese liked Jack's book report and —
- What is that, sweetheart?

Wanted him to make a model.

You know this.

Brahms.

Son?
- Sir

Reach me my lighter.

Haven't you forgotten something?

You love your father?

Yes, sir.

“And they went off
to look for Kaa, the rock python.

They found him stretched out on a warm ledge
in the afternoon sun,

admiring his beautiful new coat.”

Who do you love the most?

I love you all three the same.

Tell us a story from before we can remember.

Went for a ride in a plane once.

It was a graduation present.

Mother.

Make me good.

Brave.

Whoa! Aaah! Aaah!

They fell.

Where's the nest?

There's a hole in its head.

- You can't hold 'em.
- No, not right now.

I'll explain to you.

Can it happen to anyone?

Shh.

Nobody talks about it.

Help me not to sass my dad.

Help me not to get dogs in fights.

Help me be thankful for everything I got.

Help me not to tell lies.

Are you watching me?

I wanna know what you are.

I wanna see what you see.

- Come here, you!

That funny?

You're gonna stand there, and you're
gonna close this door quietly 50 times.

Count it out.

Three. Four.

Five. Six.

Seven. Eight.

Can't just yank off the top.
You gotta — gotta get 'em by the root.

Your mother's naive.

It takes fierce will to get ahead in this world.

If you 're good, people take advantage of you.

Every one of these top executives,
you know how they got where they are?

Floated right down the middle of the river.

Don't let anyone tell you
there's anything you can't do.

Don't do like I did. Promise me that.

I dreamed of being a great musician.

I let myself get sidetracked.

If you're looking for something to happen,
that was it.

That was life. You lived it.

Job imagined
he might build his nest on high,

that the integrity of his behavior
would protect him against misfortune.

And his friends thought, mistakenly,

that the Lord could only have punished him

because, secretly,
he'd done something wrong.

But no.

Misfortune befalls the good as well.

We can't protect ourselves against it.

We can't protect our children.

We can't say to ourselves,
even if I'm not happy,

I'm going to make sure they are.

We run before the wind.

We think that it will carry us forever.

It will not.

We vanish as a cloud.

We wither as the autumn grass

and, like a tree, are rooted up.

Is there some fraud
in the scheme of the universe?

Is there nothing which is deathless,

nothing which does not pass away?

We cannot stay where we are.

We must journey forth.

We must find that
which is greater than fortune or fate.

Nothing can bring us peace but that.

Is the body of the wise man or the just

exempt from any pain,

from any disquietude,

from the deformity
that might blight its beauty,

from the weakness
that might destroy its health?

Do you trust in God?

Job, too, was close to the Lord.

Are your friends and children your security?

There is no hiding place in all the world
where trouble may not find you.

No one knows when sorrow
might visit his house

any more than Job did.

The very moment
everything was taken away from Job,

he knew it was the Lord
who'd taken it away.

He turned from the passing shows of time.

He sought that which is eternal.

Does he alone see God's hand
who sees that he gives?

Or does not also the one see God's hand —

- I'm your man.
- who sees that he takes away?

Or does he alone see God
who sees God turn his face towards him?

Does not also he see God
who sees God turn his back?

That's a friend of mine.
He owns half the real estate in town.

Frank Johnson.

Started out as a barber.

But he built something big.

Now you'd think he was
the fourth person of the Holy Trinity.

They never talk about their money.

Wrong people go hungry.

Die.

Wrong people get loved.

- The world lives by trickery.

If you want to succeed,
you can't be too good.

Hey there, young fellas.
How y'all doin' today?

Do all y'all want some barbecue?

How 'bout a pound of brisket?

I'm sorry.

Can I rope you?

If you want.

Good.

Caught me.

What's that called?

This is a butterfly.

Why do they call it that?

'Cause it floats.

You just gonna sit around,
picking lint out of your navel?

- You 're gonna have a record.
- Open. Let me see.

And it's gonna follow you around
for the rest of your life.

If you mess up, you might not be able
to get a security clearance.

People will ask why.

They'll point the finger at me.

All but you.

My son.

Did you get it all?

Yes, sir.

Stand like this. Right? Okay? Come on.

You act like you're scared, you're in trouble.
You don't wanna fight, you don't want trouble.

The minute you see him blink, crack him. Okay?

- Okay? Come on. Three-quarters.

Cover. You're gonna cover, right?

Okay, hit. Come on.

Nice. Nice. Harder. Nice.
That's a good right. Let's see your left.

It's the most important thing. Okay?

You come in this way,
you put your guard up.

Hit me. Come on. Hit me.

Come on! Come on, Jack, hit me.

Hit me. Hit me. Come on. Come on.

Here it is. Here it is. Hit it.
Come on, Son! Come on, Son.

Left — What are you doing?

Brush yourself off.

Left. Don't leave your tongue out.
You're gonna lose it.

Left. Left.

Right. Right.

Left. Harder.

Harder. Harder!

Come on, hit me. Hit me.

Come on, Son, hit.

Give me somethin'. Show me what you got.

Come on. Go on.

- You ready?
- Mm-hmm.

One meal.

Ah!

Leave the table.

You too?

- You gonna continue to defy me?
- No, sir.

You interrupted me.

I wasn't done yet.

Am I finished?

No?

- No.
- Thank you, Your Majesty.

Makes up stories.

Original words.

He says don't put your elbows on the table.

You ready?

He does.

Insults people.

Doesn't care.

I remember when you were born.

Mmm?

They wouldn't let me come home.

The navy said an officer must be present
for the laying of the keel, but...

not at the launching.

I took my father for granted.

A sweet man.

I thought he was weak.

A welder. Machinist.

He did what he could.

Real estate. Insurance.

He worked 72 hours a day, six days a week.

Forty years he served them.
You know what he got for it?

A wristwatch.

Somebody ran him over
and left him in the street.

Left him in the street to die.

For years I had one pair of pants.

Same green pants.

Had to run around in my shorts
while my mother washed 'em.

You have no idea what it's like
working for men you don't respect.

It makes you less than a man.

Next word is “volcano.”

Next word is “socket.”

Please pass your answers to each other.
We're gonna grade each other's papers now.

No interruptions, please.

Come on. Get your pencil out.

After the logs go to the paper mill...

What is your name?

Jack.

Who gave you this name?

My sponsors in baptism,

where I was made a member of Christ,

a child of God,

an i-in-inheritor of the kingdom of heaven.

What is thy duty toward thy neighbor?

My duty towards my neighbor
is to love him as myself.

- Saw a three-legged dog.

Ran around...

like nothin' was the matter.

Come here!

No, no, no, no!

I'm all muddy!

Aaah!

Aaah! Aaah!

Sweetheart!

Tyler! Sweetheart!

Honey? Honey?

Please, somebody —

Was he bad?

It's sort of embarrassing.

Will you die too?

You're not that old yet, Mom.

- Aaah!

Where were you?

You let a boy die.

You 'll let anything happen.

I can't see! I can't see!

Why should I be good...

if you aren't?

Thank you.

Close.

Edges.

Bare.

Put that down.

Why's this bare here? Hmm?

- Grass won't grown under the trees.
- Does at the Kimballs'.

- They have a yardman.
- They have money.

Course, he inherited it.

I don't wanna hear one more word out of you,
not till this is finished.

Hmm?

Hmm?

You're croppin' that too close.

Gonna have to keep that watered.

Toscanini once recorded a piece 65 times.

You know what he said when he finished?

It could be better.

Think about it.

Twenty-seven patents your father has.

That means ownership. Ownership of ideas.

You gotta sew 'em up.

- Get 'em by the nuts, if you 'll pardon my French.
- We'll get 'em next time.

You can be rich.

You make yourself what you are.

You have control of your own destiny.

Can't say “I can't.”

You say, “I'm having trouble.

I'm not done yet.”

You can't say “I can't.”

Why does he hurt us,

our father?

Come on, Dix! Come on!
Oh, yeah. Get it! Get it!

Go!

Give your father a kiss.

He lies.

- Pretends.
- Can you do something for me?

You promise you'll do it
without having to ask what it is?

Just have the confidence that what
your father asks of you is right?

Yes, sir.

For the next half hour, will you not speak
unless you have something important to say?

What'd you do today,
my fine-feathered friend?

Sit on the front two inches of your chair.

Better for your posture.

I read that in the paper.

Did you actually buy this
from Mr. Ledbetter?

- Don't explain. Just nod, yes or no.

Hmm?

Be quiet.

What did you say?

Please.

- Leave him alone!
- Come here!

Honey!

- Leave him alone!

Come here! Get back. Come here.

Get out there!

You turned my own kids against me.

You undermine everything I do.

How do you like it?

Stop it!

Stop.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop.

Stop.

- Did you practice your guitar?
- Yes, sir.

What are you doing out here...

in the rain?

Well...

He's pitiless.

Like all weak spirits,
he's just full of criticisms

and... contrariness.

He just refuses to see who he really is.

He's two people, you know.
He just wants to...

be very, very kind one half of himself,

and the other half is as mean as a miser.

He wouldn't give you an egg.

He's jealous of the boys.

Things often get worse and worse
when people have children.

It's well-known.

Love fades,
or, you know, the beginning of it fades,

the passion goes, and people start
to dislike each other's habits and that,

and you have to admit —

Well, if I knew then what I know now,
I'd have get my legs in a jog.

Who needs all them boys?

Your brothers, they never really got off
to any kind of a start at all.

They still come to me for a ten.

Be careful.

He hasn't filed an income tax return
in three years.

I'm afraid he'll lose his job.

Works the men under him too hard.

Nobody likes him.

It isn't that he's a cold or selfish man, but...

He turns people against him.

He offends them almost on purpose.

He's a good provider though.

He works hard.

I could get a job.

He doesn't want me to though.

I've thought about it.

I still know shorthand.

When I worked at Benedict's.

I can type a hundred words a minute.

Right here!

Before we got married.

I don't know what I could do now...

with three boys.

You used to love science.

Wanted to meet free people.

I thought I'd' never marry.

And no one would love me.

I was wrong.

When those boys were born...

my life began.

Are you gonna leave us?

Why do you ask that?

I don't know.

Just 'cause.

- Whoa.

- No!

I love you.

Get him!

- Get him!

Oh-ho-ho!

You know you're like a brother to me.

I want to be square with you.

You can't rely on your friends to,
but family...

You force them to love you
whether they like it or not.

How long I been putting up with you, Ray?

How many years you been coming here,
moochin' off my family?

Not lifting a hand to help out your sister
you're so concerned about.

Hmm? Am I your servant?

I have great sympathy
for your nervous condition.

I understand how hard it is
for you to keep at a job.

Wife ran off, your trailer burned down.

And your poor mother,
pulling them pots and pans from the ashes,

trying to shine 'em up.

You think you can pick up a big rock
and impress my boys?

Why was six upset?

Hmm?

'Cause seven ate nine.

Ah!

Here.

Where's Dad?

He's gone on a trip.

Whoo!

- Whoo!

Get her! Get her!

Get her!

- Help each other.

Do not slam that screen door!

Wait!

Love everyone.

Every leaf.

Every ray of light.

Forgive.

This is my house!

You're allowed to live here!

You're allowed to live here!

Get out of my way!

Shut up!

I got it, I got it, I got it!

Do you have a lot of friends?

I know some guys.

Where's your daddy?

Why don't you cut me a switch.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Everything's made of candy,
and we all get our way.

And everybody's just —
everybody's just hoppin' around like frogs.

The whole world a frog pond.

Grew up in this house with that dog.
You didn't give him water.

What stops your hands
from turning into fins?

Think about it.

Nothin'.

Huh?

- Boys, close the windows!

Lord, it was just a-ridin' on Monday.

Just a-ridin'.

A-gettin' some and a-missin' some.

And Bud was just one of the ones.

There was a house picked up,
took across the street.

Then picked up and took a mile down the road,
and there wasn't a dish out of place.

How does it do it?

Rain just pourin'.
One lady hid on the porch.

He hid in his car.

Raining so hard, he couldn't even see.

One car smashed,
the next car wouldn't have a scratch.

Pitiful.

Downtown's gone.

114 dead.

Look out!

- Think he wants a kiss.
- Mm-mmm.

Yeah?

- Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom!
- Boom, boom, boom!

- Watch out!
- Watch out!

Go!

- Yeah, we need rocks. We need rocks.
- Here you go.

- Go get rocks!

- Get a rock!
- Stop! Stop, stop, stop.

- See if it'll go over this thing.

Ew!

Stop, stop. Don't, don't.

- Whoa!
- Go! Come over here!

- He's gonna come —
- Watch out, watch out!

No.

Aaah!

Help me!

Help!

Oh!

- Whoa!
- It's not ours.

- Yeah, that's not ours.
- Who cares? You gonna tell?

You don't take something,
you're not gonna get it.

Only stupid people get caught.

Think I'm stupid?

You afraid?

- One!
- Two!

This radar says it's in your mouth.

Let me see.

Open your mouth.

Gonna save him for Dexter.

- It won't let go till sunset.
- Then let's get him.

Come here, Dexter.
I got a surprise for you.

- Get him up. Get him up.
- Get it on him.

- Right there.
- Let's put it right on the end of his ear.

It'd fit right there.

- Right there.
- No.

Hey, Steve!

I don't think they're home.

Who cares?

They belong to everybody.

No.

Come on. Let's do it.

I say let's bust it.

Yeah!

- That's a good one.
- Yeah.

- Found a frog.

- Let's go set it off on a skyrocket.
- He's getting away!

Get back! Get back!

Whoa!

Did it go to the moon?

Where is he?

Here he is.

It was an experiment!

Liar.

Never do it again.

Promise?

You gonna tell Dad?

They're just trying to scare you.

Keep you ignorant.

Things you got to learn.

How can we know stuff till we look?

They say you can't try stuff?

They do.

What do you need to be afraid of?

You afraid.

I see it.

Right here! Right here!

I can't talk to you.

Don't look at me.

What have I started?

What have I done?

Stick it in there.

I trust you.

Buzz!

- You tired?
- No.

I never get tired.

- Did this morning.
- No, I was just pretending.

- Gonna call me a liar?
- No.

I don't want to fight.

Afraid to?

No, I just don't wanna.

If I was to say you're scared,
would you call me a liar?

No.

Then you're scared, aren't you?

Ha-ha!

Quit it.

Forgive me?

Take it back!

What did you do?

Answer me.

Next word is “propel.”

These are words we went over Tuesday,
so I'm happy to see most of you getting them right.

You can do better
than what you've been doing.

Can you tell me something about Jupiter?

You seem afraid of something.

He wouldn't even complete his painting.

He was afraid it might be wrong.

I told him it can't be wrong.

He's a good boy.

He just seems to lack confidence.

He doesn't seem to hear my instructions.

Stares.

Like on his Egypt report,
he copped it right out of the World Book.

- He cheated?
- He cheated.

He disrupts the entire class.

He cannot handle criticism.

We're constantly getting on him
all the time.

I give you everything I got!

When I was growing up in South Austin,

my dad wanted everything perfect.

If I didn't do it perfect,
he'd wear my little but! out.

And I pretty much done that
over the years with my athletes.

Not necessarily the students.

But that fear of that board
on their little butt can do wonders.

What really surprised me, when I told him
I was gonna have this conference with you,

he went totally pink.

I always do stupid things.

I want to be little again.

“Coecha makeecha.” The words.

What words?

The words that'll stop people
from being mean.

I'll never find it again.

Listen.

I don't believe in that stuff anymore.

Come here.

No!

I'm not gonna do everything you tell me to.

I'm gonna do what I want.

What do you know?
You let him run all over you.

How do I get back...

where they are?

- How are you, Son?
- Good.

This one's heavy.
You're gonna need two hands for that one.

Look at this.

Careful now.
You know what that — You know what —

- Chinese?
- That's Chinese.

That's very good. Yes, it is.

Your father went all around the world,
all the way to China.

That's Pan Am airlines.
That's what your father flew on.

The entire bathrooms are stainless steel,
even the washbasin.

I feel confident the deal's going through.

If not, they can forget it.
I'll tell them all to go to hell.

- That's from Germany.
- How do you use them?

See that?

Put that down, Son.

Can Gayler come over?

Is your family not good enough for you?

You know what I did when you were born?

I went out and I danced on the lawn.

Shot off my service revolver.

See you wasting your time
staring out the window.

Where's that gonna get you?

I make sacrifices for you.

Honor those sacrifices by what you do.

- What?
- Excuse me?

Excuse me, sir?

Say it. “Excuse me.”

Excuse me.

- “Sir.”
- Sir.

Just listen, Son.
You might actually learn something.

- Where's my brother?
- That's not important right now, is it?

Okay.

You see this?

You know why I keep that?

It's the official seal of my own company.

The one I formed.

Till I got hepatitis from drinking
unpasteurized beer in China.

Put the stick down, Son.

I protected you as best I can,

but I didn't get an education.

You will.

But I can redeem myself.

You're my freedom.

Is that what you're telling me?

Well, maybe you ought
to get your ad straight.

You think? Boys!

You don't have to leave in a huff.
You can —

- Did you say something? Boys, let's go.
- You don't have to leave in a huff.

I tell you what.
If I had all the money in the world —

I've heard about enough
from clip artists like you.

Relax.

What?

Hope it's not going to
take as long as last time.

Al dente.

Subjective point of view.
You know the difference?

Subjective means it comes from your mind.
Can't be proven by other people.

- Mmm.

Oop.

- Good to see you again.
- Okay.

Let's go, boys.

Come on.

You afraid? Go out further.

Is that a water moccasin?

You see a head, and that's all?

That's a turtle.

There are things you can't do.
Well, there are things I can't do either.

You are not to call me Dad.
You will call me Father.

- But —
- Don't interrupt!

- But you did.
- Don't interrupt!

It's your house.
You can kick me out whenever you want to.

You'd like to kill me.

Why was he born?

Please, God, kill him.

Let him die.

Get him out of here.

She only loves me!

Defend, O Lord, this, thy child,
with thy heavenly grace,

that he may continue thine forever...

and daily increase
in thy holy spirit more and more

until he come
unto thy everlasting kingdom.

Amen.

See somethin'.

Put your finger over it.

Like that.

Come on.

What I want to do I can't do.

I do what I hate.

Here.

You can hit me if you want.

I'm sorry.

You're my brother.

What is it you showed me?

I didn't know how to name you then...

but I see it was you.

Always you were calling me.

We never got to finish college,
your mother and I.

But it's important to us
that we get you the best education

we can possibly provide.

So we've decided
that it's in your best interest

that we send you away to school.

Now, it's only a hundred miles away.

We'll still be able to see you
on weekends and vacations.

I've talked to the people there.
They know you're a good boy.

I think this will be for the best.

You've been having such trouble
with your father.

And with your classmates at school.

We haven't been good parents,

or you wouldn't be under all this tension.

We should have set a better example.

I will miss you very much.

I wanted to be loved because I was great.

A big man.

I'm nothin'.

Look at the glory around us.

Trees and birds.

I lived in shame.

I dishonored it all
and didn't notice the glory.

I'm a foolish man.

They're closing the plant.

They gave me a choice.

No job...

or transfer to a job nobody wants.

Father.

I never missed a day of work.

Mother.

I tithed every Sunday.

Always you wrestle inside me.

Always you will.

You know, Jack,
all I ever wanted for you was...

to make you strong and...

grow up and be your own boss.

Maybe I've been tough on you.

I'm not proud of that.

I'm as bad as you are.

I'm more like you than her.

You boys are about all I've done in life.
Otherwise I've drawn a zilch.

You're all I have.
You're all I wanna have.

My sweet boy.

You just gonna stand there
like a bump on a log?

Go on.

The only way to be happy is to love.

Unless you love...

your life will flash by.

Do good to them.

Wonder.

Hope.

Brother.

Keep us.

Guide us...

till the end of time.

Follow me.
