Will you be diggin' today, Calvin?

I mean, seein' as how tomorrow's Thanksgiving and all,

I thought maybe we'd go get us a turkey.

You're just like your poor, crazy mother,

always tryin' to think up some lame excuse to celebrate.

There ain't gonna be no holidays until we find water.

? If there's a new love in your heart ?

? Tell me now ?

[ Chuckles ]

Now go get your chores done.

I need you to haul dirt.

? Hurt me now Get it over ?

? If there's a new love in your heart ?

[ Jingling ]

[ Girl ] With any luck at all, we'll find water today,

and then my stepdaddy'll get us a turkey.

Send us some luck, Mama.

Please help us find water today.

I'm coming right now, Calvin.

I'm out there slavin' to find water,

and you're in here playing missy country-and-western star.

I've just about had it with you, girl.

- You hear? - Yes, sir.

I am gonna put an end to this caterwaulin' nonsense right now.

- [ Exhales ] - Now get on out there.

[ Sighs ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Dog Barking ]

[ Grunts ] Haul away!

Oh!

Hey! [ Spitting ] Dora!

I'm sorry, Calvin! It's just so heavy!

Quit your bellyachin' and haul away.

Oh, please, Mama, please.

Let something happen-- anything--

just so I don't have to haul any more of this dirt!

[ Wind Howling ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Gasps ] Oh!

[ Air Rumbling ]

I'm sorry, Calvin. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

I tried to hold it, but it just slipped right out of my hands!

I tried to, but I couldn't help it.

You-- You won't believe what happened down there.

I'm not so sure I believe it myself.

The bottom just dropped right out from under me.

For one second there, I was just standing on thin air.

[ Sighs ] If it wasn't for that ladder, I'd be in China.

- [ Whimpers ] - [ Dora ] The bottom...

dropped out?

What are you gonna do, Calvin?

[ Beeping ]

I can't see the light anymore.

I'm gonna pull it up.

Must be caught on something.

- [ Gasps ] Whoa! - Did you see that?

That line jerked in my hand!

Calvin, how could it?

There's something down there.

What'd I say? What'd I say?

It could be a fish. I read a story once--

Don't feel like no fish to me.

That doesn't make sense.

What the heck could be down there?

Hmm.

Calvin, what is it?

Huh.

My Lord.

Gold. Pure gold.

For a flashlight?

It's like National Geographic.

Gimme that.

What's it say, Calvin?

I don't know what it says,

but I sure do know what it means!

- Yeehaw! - What, Calvin?

Listen. Don't you let anybody go near that hole.

Anybody, you hear?

And that includes you!

- But, Calvin! - [ Laughs ]

But, Calvin, what am I supposed to do?

Just like you always do-- nothin'.

Calvin.

Hello?

Hello down there.

"Dear Hole People,

How are you?"

Who are you?

Your friend,

Dora Johnson.

Hope they can understand English.

"Using your crude code book,

our scholars have determined this food to be ham."

[ Chuckles ] "Very tasty.

Payment enclosed. What else do you have?"

[ Scoffs ] No way.

He'd kill me.

[ Wheel Squeaking ]

- ? Crazy ? - [ Echoes ] ? Crazy ?

- ? I'm crazy ? - [ Echoes ] ? I'm crazy ?

- ? For feelin' ? - [ Echoes ] ? For feelin' ?

- ? So lonely ? - [ Echoes ] ? So lonely ?

"Our scholars have determined this food to be chicken.

Very tasty. Payment enclosed. What else do you have?"

You do your chores yet?

- Um-- - Well, do 'em!

Calvin, you're gonna be sending down those flashlights?

Make me some dinner.

Well, Calvin, I think them hole people would much rather have--

Dinner. Fix me some dinner!

Go on.

My worries are over.

New truck. New house. A real well.

We'll advertise.

Maybe even put in a water slide.

Calvin, there's somethin' I gotta tell you.

It hit bottom! It's hit bottom.

[ Sighs ]

[ Winch Whirring ]

[ Stops ]

Traitors!

Ingrates!

Animals!

No-good, double-dealin', two-timin', schemin' animals!

"Our scholars have determined these devices to be flashlights.

Prefer chicken. No payment enclosed.

What else do you have?"

- [ Dog Barking ] - Calvin, what are you gonna do?

Slimy, stinkin', cheatin' lowlifes!

This is war! You hear me?

War!

Calvin, please, wait up.

You give me ten minutes with them grubs. Then you haul me up!

Hear me, girl? Ten minutes.

You can't go down there, Calvin.

What's the matter with you, girl?

That's real gold down there. It's mine.

It's a sign, Calvin!

People waste their whole lives thinkin' they're cheated...

'cause they want somebody else's luck or money-- somebody else's life.

This hole here-- This hole here is like a sign...

for us to stand up and say, "Amen! What we have here is good!"

All we gotta do, Calvin, is we gotta turn our back away from that hole.

Now!

Did you get yourself another piece of gold out of that hole, girl?

Are you stealin' my gold so you can play missy country-and-western star?

You know, you get yourself a pretty dress...

and a leather hat, and a shiny white guitar, and you're still gonna be nothing.

You ain't no Loretta Lynn.

No, you're just like your mama--

a worthless, stupid farm girl that ain't never amount to nothin'.

I ain't touched your gold, Calvin.

[ Metal Clanking ]

Ten minutes! Now lower away.

Time's up, Calvin.

In all the days you've been my stepdaddy,

if you'd have just said one nice thing to me, I wouldn't be doin' this now.

Calvin, you're a mean, no-good, lying, worthless ball of slime!

You was born that way!

That's your work.

Everybody has a reason.

And yours is to make folks miserable.

- [ Metal Clanks ] - [ Dog Barks ]

Oh, dear Mama!

Oh, dear Mama, help me!

[ Winch Creaking ]

[ Hissing ]

[ Dog Barking ]

Calvin, you alone?

[ Dog Barking ]

Calvin?

You okay?

[ Gunshot ]

"Our scholars have determined this food...

to be turkey.

Delicious.

Payment enclosed. What else do you have?"
