maybe if we just kind of talked it out

how many words you suppose there are in

a Bushman I don't mean to excuse what

happened

just try and explain it going got bumpy

in your ass ain't nothing to explain

Donnie I've seen it all we didn't see

Artie get killed or how it happened

I've seen a thousand Artie's get their

guts blown out in France a thousand dyin

ain't the same I never in all my life

had a friend as close as Artie he was

like family do you know what really

needs explaining Donny is why you ever

enlisted in the first place

the government said you was essential to

the war effort working right here on

this farm thought it would be something

that he pleased here well it did was the

proudest day of my life but it was the

way you took off without even as much as

a goodbye to your mother's sister I just

win it I'm not finished with you was out

with Janet Willem on the night you left

is that right well isn't it I just

assumed not talked about now you listen

to me boy you're living under my roof

eating my food you damn well better talk

about what I want you to she said she

thought you got to be thinking about

Marian how hard you going

there I'll need your ration stamps Amos

with Tina you got exactly 14 Jones let

comes to two dollars and 52 cents here

let me turn it right

where'd you hit these at the twin

boulders

what a mess Lloyd driving home I ran

into a swarm of locusts how many was not

as bad as 31 the wiped out a few feels

just south of there if this heat doesn't

break I say will life tomorrow probably

famous Oh Donny he's home Hank well dad

your boy Sam hasn't won back any of

those Pacific Islands yet but that don't

mean I haven't chalked up a few personal

victories

your boy sure writes a racy letter

that's for certain the words around that

we'll all be seeing some real action

soon I know you wanted to see me carry

on the family tradition and be a pilot

Amos but I'm sorry Amos I didn't see

your command that's alright ease you

don't owe me an apology

you just give Sam my best wishes next

time you write - I sure will do that

Amos Kelly you heard anything about

locus no Kim well I heard in the Farley

fort was a swarm that chewed up 20 acres

over by twin boulders well that adds up

because these hot air currents have been

coming from southern here why there's

been hotter and drier than it has been

in a dozen years how's your supply of

sodium arsenide but average I think we

better get most of it over days this

place and get it loaded onto his

airplane isn't as plain sodium arsenite

you're talking some fancy money Amos

wife gone and Sam overseas I can wait

for my money you see to it today's has

enough arsenide powder to dust every

farm you're about I'll sign bro

Claire whores done he's in the house

taking a nap are you sick

oh no dad well then you listen to me

this is a farm a working farm you can

run away from a lot of things you can

run away from school from Janice from a

job from little worrying our dime you

can even run away from the United States

Navy but there ain't no doctor around

you're going to sign any papers saying

you're too sick to do your work I want

to see some sweat on you of what we're

doing around here is all part of the

fight do you understand that yes sir

Seventh Army continue to sweep door

occupying a second axis airfield late

yesterday

now here's Jody agent Warren temper with

the Monroe County farm report while

there's no break inside for our heat

wave about 60 acres of glossed the

Prairie flat area farms and Marysville

vicinity are advised to spring daddy I

think you'd be all right don't you but

just took myself for a little drive miss

cooling down some you know seems like

what what's working at Culloden you know

I'm spending the whole summers locked up

inside all right

you see anyone tell him that then local

spotted around prayer fast okay kids in

a car

but I do you say doctor very sad yeah

they come here if we lose this crop you

go to Detroit I'll get a job in a

defense plant best I paid off my

depression debt yet

huh

when I was off-limits you gonna report

me Johnny I don't see why we can't see

each other little I mean who have to

know daddy I am getting married not yet

you better just go on home before your

folks find out you're here I didn't come

here to talk about marriage that's what

you say now Danny I thought we meant

something to each other yeah someone not

everything all I want

hey now you have grease all over your

face

it's a deal

I'm just trying to fix this compressor

so it can dust the awfully important

hey all right I hate you

let's get those shoes off I don't ever

want us to my life yeah will and when

you do you just explained to her that

Donny is just someone who kept having to

deal with things before he was really

sound like being immature well if it is

is that such a terrible thing we're not

all running on the same schedule like

cloth Thomas low another's run fat yet

everybody's always wanting the right

time I never fall is it like that you be

patient honey Donny's going to give

everybody what's expected of him

everybody wants him to be as strong as

daddy daddy wants that too and it just

don't seem fair I made some great peach

ice cream why don't you get out of those

wet clothes and go round up your father

Donny

don't doing up this late

mom eat ice cream I saved yourself you

ought to be up this thing to fight this

for a good cause me

sure I'm a good cause I'm sure I know

exactly what happened that wouldn't

change how I feel

I had this friend I met down at

Pensacola party

are you McCain we've got to be real good

buddies you know I mean I never had a

bad cold

he was gonna be a veterinary like Lloyd

hub

Meehan we both therefore solos in the

same day

you wrote me about it week later

Marty took off on absol

and I was there waiting for him he come

back

don't sudden I just blew up

and iron

playing flying through the air

and I am sorry

Tawney

so I went out and I got drunk and I

started to fight he started to fight

yeah I never finished it they wiped up

the floor with me fingers why would you

want to start a fight I wanted to go

back and stop parties done but I

couldn't hit it he was making me crazy

like it was some kind of Section eight

or something

what's that section eight what they call

it when a fella goes to pieces in the

service I ain't sure I was all like

crazy

well he wasn't art he's dying both I

hauled off and belted the first guy just

to prove I wasn't scared too scared to

get back into a plane I thought the Navy

could force you to fly if they wanted to

yeah a what they wanted me to fly again

but nothing ever happened I couldn't

beggining the ground those locusts

covered yesterday they could be here in

two days three at the most

don't come near as bad as it didn't 31

just a few fields here in there

you cried in your sleep last night

Amy can't you go a little easier on

Donna I am a sergeant in the army I

don't think I ever hated a man as bad as

I hated him yesterday when I walked down

here from his net I sounded just like

that old sergeant when he was chewing me

out

honey

seven cents on the hand that folks is

the farmer for like good news what kill

the dog now sit back relax and prop up

your feet when I speak no country mornin

Blair well what was I supposed to do

there pat him on the back for going to

bed without fixing the compressor you

riding this he should have finished it

was a farmer for today nothing we didn't

know last night here here

it's just grasshoppers I know but

thinking about so many of them I know

they can't bite me or anything but all

there are these pictures in the

encyclopedia and the menial goose-bumpy

you have one of your nightmares young

lady kind of maybe you don't remember

but you met up with locust once before

she was how old they're two years old I

got it working

I'm down for you soon says mu let that

butter with me

get that thing over one

they take a couple hours to do maybe one

acre that'll be 1 acre will be turned

into home feed what's the point

the four years Doni amenable try don't

need no enemy he's already beat was my

kitchen hey with a teaspoon

they've got a camp take it off

mother's gonna have to make us some kind

of master so we don't have to breathe

all this stuff in on the radio mom told

me to tell you the swarm is a big one

it's just 6000 acres 30 miles away

system now you go tell mama to start

telephoning a special meeting at the

church right away hurry up how do you

take this outfit down the other in the

field and start working back this way

i telephone to the second frog oh boy I

hope he lived on a Carlton now he turned

into a lot on and I fear what he's got

to say is reliable he knows his weather

maps and we're just not in sight to this

heat bust enough how much Head Start you

need eight well I figured it'd take off

at first light

the locusts are sleepin both of those

things should attack the middle of the

afternoon well in that case I wouldn't

be much good to you if the swarms are

real big one there's too much risk as

I'm clogging up my air intakes hey we

just kidding ourselves

this office gear comes awful all be

washed up ain't no man ever out what it

is swarm of locusts guys way don't you

just egged on Kong I assured get sick of

hearing him blame everything on the Lord

not blaming two stainless in the Bible

in Exodus but they covered the face of

the whole earth so the land was darkened

and they did eat every herb of the land

and their remains not any green thing

through all the land of Egypt speaking

for myself

this one won't and we hope for most of

us enjoyed it not done to the Ray but

what we tell is here just don't bother

Dustin well who's got your money again

we can't not one of us here ever

remember one year when we wasn't in debt

either paying off a new harvester

rebuilding after a flood you come

through drought depression and locusts

you pay our debts maybe sometimes a

little late but we pay them cash money

the land always comes through for

weather to keep us alive or bury our

dead

no man can forget that because of some

locusts no man I don't know it

Haemon just now on the radio the locusts

are at the county line I have my Donny

started frame you telephone ace and let

him know right away

maybe an acre there's some way to let

these feel can make this stuff sticks

how'd your meeting go I've known old men

all my life

leastwise I thought I had some things

change in this world all of a sudden I

feel all alone even when I'm not well it

ain't like there's a depression no more

funny jobs yeah could be a lot of those

people would be better off working in

city could be you'd be happier doing

that that what you're saying but you

just don't seem right for you to expect

everybody to think just the way you do

that's all kick this thing on lemme try

the locust ones are a lot closer in the

county line

it'll be dark pretty soon not enough

explain the isolated reports of attacks

a right 130 acres in TWiT boulders 300

acres in Prairie flats a thousand acres

entomologist State University if you

from the plague-like proportion of crop

damage or bombers bed frame now back to

the golden town on Western Union yes yes

yes operator no if that won't be

necessary Navy Department it's Sam aces

boy I guess I better call them no no it

has to be a regular telegram you typed

out I'll take it

Oh

eat fly unlike him

begone here so a few strays they only

got a half an acre I got the filter on

the compressor yeah we got a few we'll

get more of they come back now with our

bare hands if we have to

all right now charlie

I'm sorry daddy I recollect once when I

was just your age you know those caves

in the foothills of I did no one ever

told me they were full of that I went up

there one time and went inside those

keep the bats all took off I'd have been

a girl I know that is screamed a lot

louder than you did nothing ever scared

me before I mean really scared I thought

I knew what it would be like it's worth

now you get some sleep

he was driven up don't Sporty's heard

Amos telegram last night he said boy is

dead one of them islands I just come

from there

hey Snookie shotgun and killed him this

war

did you hit these Marysville Amos during

nothing left nothing green it's like

looking at tests

did you hit anymore forms between here

in Madison I thought it was a small one

near your place heather was will make it

Eric he was my wife's brother is a small

machine plant in South Bend and I was

thinking Eric the closer family has

lived here for a hundred years there's a

weekly paycheck mean so much to you that

you give all that up Eric closer working

for wages if those locusts come Amos if

I lose five cents worth of my harvest

that's a nickel I ain't got I confess I

don't know what makes you think you can

stand up to a swarm of locusts well

that's five gallons mr. Carter it's 90

cents

Amos Kelly's calling the Undertaker but

right with I spoke to the Reverend

Weldon he'll do the services that's nice

Amos we don't get some rain with a

scorned

I know hope is that you've got any

suggestion I'm gonna pray yeah me too

Clara oh I know teddy clauser phoned me

ace and Sam it's hard to accept no leave

it open Amos I'm worried about dizzy I

thought maybe she'd stay in the root

cellar if the locusts do come and

probably me best I'd sure welcome one

them sudden cold snaps we're good for

Beth this time of year

you never change do you what this is

where you come when I needed you to help

me with ginger having her phone also the

time I got mad at you because your

graves didn't make her run your a lot

don't I heard how he's killed himself I

never took a DH for a coward

daddy ain't you ever been lonely scared

I mean really frightened to something a

man don't tolerate the consequences of

fear you ran out of Santa's you'd starve

to death

figure on dine only once can you say the

same maybe you just don't grieve about

things or feel about him the way I do or

the way ace must have felt about Sam do

you think what he done was right now you

probably do you'd do anything to keep

from taking a few bumps even suicide

which is just another way of running

ain't that right Donny well ain't it you

say so maybe you started something

around here things not going to suit you

just no problem

back off shut your eyes stick your head

in the sand somewhere dying or watching

your best friend get blown up ain't just

a problem in our lives a problem you

seem to keep forgetting that everybody

else around here seems to forget it you

think the whole world begins and ends

with you are 200 acres it did for four

generations of us and could again if we

give it a chance

maybe I got different ideas about the

chances I want to take left here and had

your chance what did you do it tell me

what did you do with your chance

I failed god help me i fouled up and you

know how by coming back here to you

that's how

you can't throw with that yeah yeah get

some hope you leave it yeah I could use

a lift my father I can't take him no

more Oh Donny can't come with us my

father kill me if even knew we were well

they knew how I felt without Janet I

don't want to cause you no trouble but I

gotta get out of here

Janet will your mother I need a lift out

of Burdette

is still sweet on Jack yes sir mr. well

I am Dhoni do nothing nothing till I

much more himself sighing tell Janet

deserve something better you stay and

help father you don't know when you're

licked it's too bad that he dreaded

Terry where we're gonna lose this whole

feel to the park

maybe if we can stop them here with you

save the rest of our crops Amos I hear

him coming

let's get those

we're leaving

Doni of you still want to come with us I

can talk my dad into it she did fire

yeah that's our place he's burning the

fields she crazy

can't go

all right you long letter

all right all you had to do was let him

see you smile just once you mean put my

personal seal of approval on his

behavior in the name what do you really

know about that I know how any man would

have behaved no man is any man what do

you expect of me it's too late you

doesn't run him off

he did his own running Clara god only

knows he's had enough practicing and

enough reason when was the last time you

said something good about him any man

who's too generous with his praise

cheapen does that mean being too

generous with your love cheapens that -

don't go twisting my words when Cissy

got scared and ran you understood that

right enough you showed her your love

and understanding

you don't even it's done you're

comparing a 14 year old girl with a

grown man Claire does that mean a man

doesn't need love and understanding and

forgiveness does that mean you don't

need those things - all right all right

I'm sorry it's just hard for a man to

admit he scared

did you hear what I said there I heard

Jane

Hampsten says they no man can outwit a

swarm of locusts no man that's all I am

plur

he burned the whole south field I could

smell the fire even in the root cellar

yeah locusts wiped down about a third of

the rest of the crop how do you know I'm

just walking around sort of taking

inventory dad thinks you're gone for

good I must have picked up the spirit

some men are peculiar what while you

were writing home he sat and read those

letters to himself again and again and

again every night Donny before my

discharge you know what I think I think

he just mad at you because you're a boy

his son don't make no sense yes it does

when you think about how he is strong

brave honest he loves you so much Donny

that he wants to be even better and when

you're not he gets sad and he starts

worrying that he's done something wrong

and bringing you up I'm there get on

back to bed

and don't tell that I'm here all right

they'll come again he'll come with a

slump

that's done got to be done

oh yeah

damn

cool

he ran

we keep in time to the seasons of the

Sun

now you March - did been beat in those

days have left he won by a war

or did the guru

or you must strike with your flesh and

your pride

will be broken my mother will be
