- ALL RIGHT.

NOW, YOU KNOW THE DRILL.
LOOK IN THE LIGHT.

FOLLOW MY FINGER HERE.

UP.

YOUR EYES ARE MUCH WORSE, TULA.

- ISN'T THAT TO BE EXPECTED?

- YOU'VE GOT TO GO TO BOULDER.

YOU'VE GOT TO SEE THE SPECIALIST
THAT I TOLD YOU ABOUT,

AND YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT NOW.

YOU MIGHT BE GOING BLIND.

- WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY IT?
IT'S INEVITABLE.

IT'S A BITTER PILL,
BUT IT HAS TO BE SWALLOWED.

- HOW DO YOU KNOW THATIF YOU WON'T SEE A SPECIALIST?

THERE'S A CHANCE.

- IF I DON'T GO,
HOW LONG WILL IT BE?

25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30,

31, 32, 33,

34, 35, 36...

39...40.

AW.

SPECIAL.

AW, SO BEAUTIFUL.

AH! OOH!

- AUNT TULA!
ANYONE HOME?

- DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WAS?

- NO.
- NO, OF COURSE YOU DON'T.

THAT WAS THE GREAT BLUE HERON.

HERE ON MY PROPERTY.

A WELCOME GUEST.

INVITED, UNLIKE SOME.

- AUNT TULA!

- THE OGLALA SIOUX BELIEVED

THAT THE HERON WAS AN OMEN,

A HARBINGER OF CHANGE.

PERHAPS DEATH.

WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING HERE?

- BILLIE AND DAVID HAVE BEENTRYING TO CALL FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

THEY THOUGHT PERHAPS
YOU WERE--

- DEAD? OH, NO SUCH LUCK.

I TURNED OFF THE RINGER
ON THE PHONE,

AND IT'S PERFECT NOW.

I CAN MAKE ALL THE CALLS
THAT I WANT

AND STILL REMAIN UNDISTURBED

OR SO I THOUGHT.

- THIS IS MY JOB, MRS. JEETERS.

IT'S WHAT A SOCIAL WORKER DOES.

YOUR NIECE AND NEPHEW
WERE WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

SO THEY ASKED ME TO COME HEREAND CHECK ON YOU.

THEY'RE NOT WORRIED.
THEY'RE WAITING.

- AUNT TULA, WE JUST WANTED
TO COME VISIT, YOU KNOW.

ISN'T THAT WHAT FAMILIES
ARE SUPPOSED TO DO?

- WE WORRY ABOUT YOU,
AUNT TULA.

LIVING OUT HERE ALL ALONE.

- IT'S HER JOB TO BE NOSY.
WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?

- IF IT'S A MATTER OF
PAYING THE PHONE BILL...

- CAN YOU JUST GO
AND CHECK THE PHONE, PLEASE?

- SHE NEEDS HELP.

- BILLIE, I JUST STARTED
TO EVALUATE TULA.

I HAVE TO SEE THAT SHE IS
INCAPABLE

OF PROPERLY CARING
FOR HERSELF

BEFORE I CAN MAKE
ANY RECOMMENDATIONS

ABOUT MOVING HER INTO
A RETIREMENT HOME

OR ASSISTED LIVING.

- THE PHONE'S FINE,
PERFECTLY FINE.

YOU MUST HAVE DIALED
THE WRONG NUMBER.

- AREN'T YOU GOING TO
INVITE US IN?

WE CAME ALL THIS WAY OUT HERETO VISIT WITH YOU.

- NO!

DON'T RUN OVER MY ROSES
WHEN YOU LEAVE!

- DON'T YOU SEE?

TULA CAN'T POSSIBLY
SAVE THIS PLACE.

I MEAN, IT TAKES
A LOT OF MONEY

AND A LOT OF HARD WORK TO
PRESERVE THIS SORT OF TREASURE.

- I'LL LOOK INTO IT, BILLIE.

I DO SO ENJOY YOUR FAMILY'S
LITTLE VISITS.

I FIND THEM SO...

STIMULATING.

- HERE WE GO AGAIN.
NOW WHAT?

I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS FIXED.

- IT WAS.
THIS IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

- THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID
LAST TIME, HANK.

- WOULD YOU STOP
CALLING ME HANK?

WHAT HAPPENED TO DADDY
OR POP OR FATHER?

YOU'RE WEARING LIPSTICK AGAIN,AREN'T YOU?

- BEEN WEARING IT
SINCE NEW MEXICO,

AND YOU DIDN'T NOTICE.

IF I PUT IT ON IN NEW MEXICO

AND YOU'RE JUST NOW NOTICING IT
IN COLORADO,

I TRULY DO NOT SEE WHAT--

- I TOLD YOU SO!

- THIS LOOKS REAL NICE.

BE ON YOUR
BEST BEHAVIOR, OKAY?

BACK! IT WORKS BETTER
WHEN I DO IT.

HELLO IN THERE!

MY NAME IS CALIFORNIA FORD,
CALI FOR SHORT.

I'M HAVING SOME TROUBLE,

AND I COULD USE THE ASSISTANCEOF A KINDLY-HEARTED PERSON.

MY DEAR OLD DAD
INJURED HIMSELF

WHILE TRYING TO REPAIR
OUR CAR.

THAT'S MY DEAR OLD DAD.

HE BURNED HIS HAND
REAL BAD ON THE CAR'S RADIATOR.

WE NEED SOMETHING
TO KEEP IT FROM BLISTERING.

- ALOE VERA.

- UH, MA'AM?

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,

I'VE GOT TO GO
TO THE BATHROOM.

MY GRANDMA SAYS A LADY
NEVER GOES IN THE BUSHES.

CAN I POSSIBLY...?

- ALL RIGHT.

- THANK YOU.

- TO THE LEFT.

DON'T LEAVE THE LIGHT ON.

ALOE VERA.

THIS PLANT RIGHT OVER HERE
WITH THE POINTED LEAF?

JUST BREAK ONE OF
THE LEAVES OFF.

- SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, MA'AM.

- OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES.
HERE.

- I TOOK THE LIBERTY
OF BORROWING YOUR PHONE, MA'AM.

DON'T WORRY.
I CALLED COLLECT.

I TOLD MAMA THAT THE CAR WASAS DEAD AS A DOORNAIL, DADDY,

AND THAT WE WOULDN'T BE HOME
FOR SOME TIME.

- AND WHAT DID YOUR MOTHER SAY?

- SHE SAID SHE LOVED US,
LIKE ALWAYS.

DADDY, I'M HUNGRY.

- WELL, I GUESS I BETTER
GET THIS LITTLE LADY

SOMETHING TO EAT,

GET THAT CAR WORKING.

THEY DIDN'T NAME ME
HENRY FORD FOR NOTHING.

SHOULDN'T LIE LIKE THAT
ABOUT CALLING YOUR MOTHER.

- SHE'S ONE TOUGH OLD NUT
TO CRACK, RIGHT?

HERE, HAVE A TOMATO.

- WELL, MR. MAYOR,
I THINK EVERYONE HERE

KNOWS HOW I FEEL ABOUT
THESE GRAND PLANS

THAT HAVE BEEN BEFORE US
FOR THE PAST MONTH OR SO.

GOLF COURSES, MINI MALLS
AND THE LIKE.

AND I KNOW I'M IN THE MINORITY.

BUT I WILL NOT GIVE UP
RAISING MY VOICE

AGAINST THESE PLANS.

- THANK YOU, CLYDE.
BILLIE?

- NOW, OUR TOWN NEEDS TO GROWIN ORDER TO SURVIVE.

WE'VE GOT LOTS OF
REASONABLY PRICED LAND.

WE'VE GOT GOOD SCHOOLS,
LOW PROPERTY TAXES,

LAKE FRONTAGE.

BUT FOR PEOPLE THAT
WANT TO MOVE SOMEWHERE,

THEY HAVE TO HAVE PLACES
TO GO AND SHOP AND EAT

AND RECRTE.

NOW, SUMMERSVILLE
DOWN THE ROAD

IS ALREADY WAY AHEAD OF US.

THEY HAVE TWO HOTELS,
FOUR MOVIE SCREENS,

AND THREE NEW RESTAURANTS.

- AND TRAFFIC!

THEY GOT TRAFFIC.

- OUR TOWN IS IN THE PERFECT
POSITION FOR US TO GROW

AND TO PROSPER.

- SEEMS THAT YOU AND DAVE HEREHAVE THIS ALL FIGURED OUT.

MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST DISBAND
THE CITY COUNCIL

AND MAKE YOU TWO DICTATORS
FOR LIFE.

- CLYDE, WHETHER YOU
UNDERSTAND IT OR NOT,

CUMBERLAND NEEDS NEW JOBS,
NEW HOUSING, MALLS,

A GOLF COURSE.

- NOBODY SINCE THE BEGINNING
OF TIME

EVER NEEDED A GOLF COURSE.

- AMEN!

- I THINK WE'D ALL BE
BETTER OF WITH ONE LESS MALL

IN THIS COUNTRY.

YOU'RE ALL SHEEP!

CAN'T YOU SEE YOU'RE BEING LED.

THE JEETERS HAVE MORE TO GAINTHAN ANY OF US.

THEY STAND TO MAKE
A FORTUNE.

- WELL, IT SEEMS THAT EVERYBODY

THINKS YOU'RE JUST GOING TO
UP AND SIGN OVER YOUR HOUSE

TO BILLIE AND DAVE.

- IS THAT SO?
- YEAH.

OF COURSE, CLYDE GAVE THEMA LITTLE WHAT-FOR LAST NIGHT,

FOR A WHILE ANYWAY.

- OH, GOOD OLD CLYDE.

- BUT...

THAT DIDN'T KEEP 'EM FROM VOTINGOVERWHELMINGLY

TO GO AHEAD WITH
THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS

THAT BILLIE AND DAVE
PUT BEFORE THE COUNCIL.

- COUNTING THEIR CHICKENS
BEFORE THEY'RE HATCHED.

- YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THAT
BY THE WAY

THEY CARRIED ON THERE
LAST NIGHT.

I'M TELLING, TULA,
NOW LISTEN TO ME.

NOW, YOUR NIECE AND YOUR NEPHEW
ARE DETERMINED

TO GET YOUR HOUSE
AND YOUR LAND.

- FIRST OF ALL, THEY ARE
NOT MY NIECE AND NEPHEW.

THEY ARE THE CAPTAIN'S.

AND THEY HAVE TO COMETHROUGH ME FIRST, DON'T THEY?

I SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE
THE WHOLE WORLD

IS WAITING FOR ME TO DIE

OR BECOME HELPLESS
OR GO CRAZY.

AND I'M NOT ABOUT
TO OBLIGE THEM.

- DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE READYFOR ME TO CALL THAT SPECIALIST?

- COME ON, HANK.
IT'S YOUR BREAK.

- I THINK I'VE TAKEN ENOUGH OFYOUR MONEY FOR ONE DAY.

WELL, AREN'T YOU
THE GENTLEMAN?

BILLIE JEETERS.

- NO DOUBT THE QUEEN
OF REAL ESTATE AROUND HERE.

HENRY FORD. MY FRIENDS
CALL ME HANK.

- JUST PASSING THROUGH?

- AREN'T WE ALL?

- YOU STAYING AROUND HERE
OR IN SUMMERSVILLE?

- I'M JUST OUTSIDE OF TOWN.

SORT OF TRYING ON THE PLACE
FOR SIZE.

- SEEN ANYTHING YOU LIKE
SO FAR?

- I LIKE THE VISION
I'M HAVING RIGHT NOW.

YOU DON'T EXACTLY SEEM TO FITTHE CUMBERLAND MOLD.

- NOW WHAT WOULD THAT BE?

- COUNTRY,
BUT IN A GOOD WAY.

SLOW SUMMER DAYS,

SKINNY DIPPING AT
THE WATERING HOLE.

DANCES AT THE VFW HALL
ON CHILLY WINTER NIGHTS.

YOU STRIKE ME
AS MORE SOPHISTICATED

THAN LIFE A TOWN LIKE THIS
WOULD OFFER.

SO TELL ME, HANK...

YOU GOT ANY PLANS
THE REST OF THE DAY?

- NONE THAT COME TO MIND.

- MAYBE YOU WOULDN'T MINDLETTING A SOPHISTICATED WOMAN

LIKE MYSELF
TAKE YOU FOR A DRIVE.

- I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK YOU

FOR A RIDE TO
THAT SWIMMING HOLE.

- YEAH, GET IN!

I'LL SEE IF I CAN
DO YOU BETTER THAN THAT.

- SORRY IF I STARTLED YOU.

HANK IS REALLY, REALLY
GOOD WITH MOTORS,

BUT WE NEED SOME PARTS,

AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY
TO BUY 'EM.

I'M HERE TO SEE IF I CAN
DO SOME WORK OR SOMETHING

TO MAKE SOME MONEY.

- MAYBE YOU SHOULD CALL
YOUR MOTHER AGAIN

AND TELL HER ABOUT
THE ADDITIONAL DELAY.

- WELL, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,

I KIND OF LIED.

I DIDN'T CALL HER
AT ALL YESTERDAY.

IN FACT, WE DON'T KNOW
WHERE SHE IS.

SHE LEFT A LONG TIME AGO.

I TOSSED AND TURNED ALL NIGHTOVER IT.

OF COURSE, IT MIGHT HAVE BEENTHE MOSQUITOES.

- WHERE DID YOU SLEEP?

- IN THE CAR.
WE DO THAT SOMETIMES.

- WELL, I THINK MAYBE I COULDFIND SOME

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY
IN THE CUPBOARD.

WHY DON'T YOU FOLLOW ME
AND HELP ME FIND IT, ALL RIGHT?

OH, HERE'S ALOE VERA.VERY GOOD FOR MOSQUITO BITES.

- GOSH, DOES THIS STUFF WORK
ON, LIKE, EVERYTHING?

- YOU KNOW,

I KNEW ALL ALONG THAT
YOU DIDN'T CALL YOUR MOTHER.

YEAH, HANK WASN'T HAPPY WITH ME
LYING TO YOU AND ALL.

- WHY DO YOU CALL
YOUR FATHER HANK?

- THEY JUST ASKED ME
TO SEE IF YOU WOULD BE

INTERESTED IN SELLING THE PLACE.

DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER.

TULA, I'M NOT
ON ANYONE'S SIDE HERE.

I'M JUST TRYING
TO DO MY JOB.

- HOW OLD ARE YOU?

- 28.

- I'VE LIVED IN THIS HOUSE

LONGER THAN
YOUR ENTIRE LIFETIME.

SHE'S BEGINNING TO HURT
A LITTLE BIT HERE AND THERE

LIKE ME.

BUT SHE IS SOUND AND SOLID.

- THIS PLACE IS TOO BIG
TO CARE FOR ALL BY YOURSELF.

- WELL, I COULD TAKE AN AD
IN THE PAPER FOR A BOARDER,

SOMEONE TO HELP ME OUT
AROUND THE PROPERTY,

DO THE THINGS THAT
I CAN'T GET TO.

- YOU SURE A STRANGER
LIVING WITH YOU IS A GOOD IDEA?

- OH, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO
LIVE HERE.

THERE IS A GUEST HOUSE.

I THINK I SEE
THE TWO PERFECT STRANGERS

FOR THE JOB.

ALL RIGHT, YOU MAY STAY HERE
UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.

I WANT YOU TO EVALUATE THIS CAR

AND ADVISE ME IN DETAIL

WHAT IT WOULD TAKE
TO GET IT RUNNING AGAIN.

ROOM AND BOARD,
$100 CASH.

- THAT SOUNDS FAIR ENOUGH.

- THEY DIDN'T NAME HIM
HENRY FORD FOR NOTHING.

- HOW LONG'S IT BEEN SINCE YOUSTARTED THIS OLD RELIC?

- UH, WINTER BEFORE LAST.

- HE CAN EASILY DO IT.

- ALL RIGHT, I WILL SHOW YOU
WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO STAY.

- IS IT IN THE HOUSE?

- NO. IF THINGS WORK OUT,

I'M WILLING TO PAY
AN EXTRA $40 A DAY

FOR HELP WITH ODD JOBS.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE ARE.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. BREAKFAST IS
AT 7:00 A.M. SHARP.

GOODNIGHT.
- GOODNIGHT.

- GOODNIGHT!

- YOU HEAR THAT, CALI?

WE'VE GOT A PLACE TO STAY
FOR A BIT.

HUNDRED BUCKS FOR THE CAR.

FORTY A DAY FOR WHATEVER ELSESHE HAS IN MIND.

I KNOW IT'S NOT MUCH,

BUT AT LEAST WE GOT A PLACE
TO STAY FOR SOME TIME.

SOME TIME! SOME TIME INDEED!

BREAKFAST AT SEVEN, MY LADY!

- THIS WOULD MAKE THE PERFECTPLACE FOR YOUR WOMEN'S CENTER.

IT'S BEEN FOR SALE FOR AGES.

I'LL EXPLAIN TO THE OWNERS
HOW THE TAX WRITE-OFF WORKS,

AND I JUST KNOW WE CAN
GET IT DONATED.

- I CAN'T TELL YOU
HOW MUCH THIS WOULD MEAN.

- OH, IT'S THE LEAST WE CAN DO.

IT'S JUST SO HARD TO SEE
THOSE WOMEN OUT THERE

WITHOUT A PLACE OF THEIR OWN,ESPECIALLY THE OLDER ONES.

- SO HOW DID IT GO WITH TULA?

- WE HAD A NICE VISIT I THINK.

SHE'S GETTING HER CAR FIXED.

- WHY DOES SHE NEED
HER CAR FIXED?

CAN SHE EVEN DRIVE?

- WELL, SHE'S DECIDED
TO TAKE ON BOARDERS,

A MAN AND HIS LITTLE GIRL.

- BOARDERS?

- HENRY AND CALI FORD?

- WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HANK FORD?

- EVER SINCE HER HUSBAND PASSED,

TULA'S HAD A HARD TIME
KEEPING UP WITH THE PLACE.

I THINK THIS COULD BE A GREATWAY FOR HER TO GET SOME HELP.

- HELP?

- SHE'S DETERMINED TO
GIVE IT A GO.

I WILL KEEP AN EYE ON HER
UNTIL THE END OF MY EVALUATION.

SO, LET ME KNOW ABOUTTHE PROPERTY AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

AND I WILL GET STARTEDRAISING THE REMODELING MONEY.

- OKAY. OKAY. WELL, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR COMING DOWN.

- THANK YOU.

- SO...

YOU KNOW THIS HANK FELLA?

- I MET HIM IN TOWN
THE OTHER DAY.

- YOU MET HIM?

- HE WAS HELPING ME
PUT UP A FOR SALE SIGN.

SO I GAVE HIM A RIDE
TO SHOW HIM THE TOWN.

- SIGHTSEEING WITH A DRIFTER,HUH? NICE.

- MY PERSONAL BUSINESS
IS EXACTLY THAT.

- TULA THINKS HAVING SOME
DRIFTER AND HIS KID

BUNKING UP WITH HER
IS GOING TO STOP ME,

SHE COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG.

- CALI?

- ARE YOU UP?

- YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME
IF I TOLD YOU.

- ALL RIGHT, THIS IS
A SMALL BONUS

FOR A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

YOU NOW KNOW HOW
TO CAN TOMATOES.

- THANK YOU.

- YOU READY?

ALWAYS REMEMBER, CALI,IT PAYS MORE TO USE YOUR BRAIN

THAN TO BUST YOUR HUMP.

AT LEAST, I MADE MINE LEGAL.

- NOTHING WRONG WITH
HAVING SKILLS, GIRL.

- SHOOTING POOL IS NOT
A SKILL, HANK.

IT'S A GAME.

- GAMES DON'T PAY THIS MUCH.
SKILLS DO.

- HOW MUCH DO THE PARTS COST?

HUH?
- FOR THE CAR?

- I THINK WE MIGHT WANT
TO STAY HERE FOR A WHILE.

- TULA?

ARE YOU HOME?

IS TULA AROUND?

- SHE'S OUT THERE PUTTING OUTSOMETHING FOR THE BLUEBERRIES,

BLUE JAYS, BLUE SOMETHING.

CAN I BE OF ASSISTANCE?

- UH, COULD YOU TELL HER
THAT JAN KYLES CAME BY.

I...NEED TO TALK TO HER
ABOUT HER NIECE AND NEPHEW.

- JAN KYLES?

YOU SURE HAVE A PECULIAR WAY
OF HANDLING YOURSELF, MR. FORD.

- HOW'S THAT?
- A GROWN MAN LIKE YOURSELF,

FLIRTING LIKE A SCHOOL BOY.

BUT THEN FROM WHAT I HEAR

SCHOOL BOYS DON'T OFTEN DRIVEAIMLESSLY AROUND AMERICA

WITH THEIR TEN-YEAR-OLD
DAUGHTERS.

- NO, I GUESS THEY DON'T,
DO THEY?

BUT THEN AGAIN THE SCHOOL GIRLS
I KNEW WHEN I WAS A BOY

NEVER QUITE LOOKED AS GOOD
AS YOU DO NOW.

I'LL TELL HER YOU CAME BY
TO SEE HER.

MS. KYLES, YOU DO KNOW
YOU CAN COME BY TO SEE ME

ANYTIME YOU LIKE?

- YOU HAVE A NICE SMILE, HANK,

BUT DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF.

- "NEVER QUITE LOOKED
AS GOOD AS YOU"?

- WHAT? THEY DIDN'T.

- YOU BETTER FIND ANOTHER GAMEWITH THAT ONE.

SHE'S A WHOLE LOT SMARTER
THAN MOST.

- WELL, MAYBE THAT'S
A GOOD THING.

- EIGHT BALL, CORNER POCKET.

- EVERY MAN CAN HAVE
A BAD DAY.

- YOU UP OR YOU WANT TOFORK OVER THE CASH YOU OWE ME?

- EVENING, BOYS.

- BILLIE.

BEER!

- YOU CERTAINLY KNOWHOW TO PUSH HIS BUTTONS.

- YOU MEN REALLY AREN'T
THAT HARD TO FIGURE OUT.

- IS THAT SO?

- WHY DON'T YOU ASK
YOUR EIGHT BALL BUDDY.

- IS THERE SOMETHING
BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU

I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?

- THE PAST IS EXACTLY THAT,
HANK.

- WELL, IF THAT'S THE CASE,

YOU THINK WE SHOULD TAKE
ANOTHER DRIVE?

- A ONE-TRACK MINDWON'T GET YOU FAR IN THIS WORLD.

- DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE
DONE YOU WRONG.

- CUTE.

BUT I HAVE A MEETING TONIGHT.

- MORNING.

- HEY, HEY. GOING TO BE
A WONDERFUL DAY, ISN'T IT?

HEY, LISTEN, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I THANK YOU KINDLY.
I'LL GET IT FROM HERE.

- WILL YOU LOOK AT THIS?

- YEAH, SHE'S A REALBEAUTY, ISN'T SHE?

- WELL, I NEVER.
WOW.

IS THIS A BEAUT OR WHAT?

HEY, HENRY FORD.
YOU CAN CALL ME HANK.

- DR. DOUGLAS HAMILTON.

CALL ME DOC.

- WHERE DID MRS. JEETERS
COME UP WITH THIS?

- BELIEVE ME,

TULA HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE LIKES OF THIS.

NO, THAT WAS TOTALLY
THE CAPTAIN,

HER DEARLY DEPARTED HUSBAND'SUNDERTAKING.

- HELLO!

MR. FORD? MR. FORD.

I SAID THAT BREAKFAST
WAS AT SEVEN.

YOU'RE LATE.

- DOESN'T SEEM TO BE
IN THAT BAD A SHAPE.

- WELL, IT SHOULDN'T BE.

MOST OF OUR RETIREMENT FUNDS
ARE POURED INTO IT.

IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME

HOW GROWN MEN GET SO EXCITEDABOUT SOME--SOME ROTTING WOOD.

HE KEPT SAYING THAT
HE WAS JUST ONE BREATH AWAY

FROM SAILING AROUND THE WORLD.

AND THEN ONE DAY
HE JUST QUIT BREATHING.

- SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOUR HUSBANDWAS A MAN OF VISION.

- HE WAS A FOOL, MR. FORD.

WASTING ALL OF HIS TIME
WORKING ON THIS BOAT.

BREAKFAST IS SERVED.

- DON'T LET HER KID YOU.

SHE WORSHIPPED THE GROUND
THE MAN WALKED ON,

AND HE FELT THE SAME WAY
ABOUT HER.

YOU EVER FEEL THAT WAY
ABOUT A WOMAN, HANK?

WELL, NOTHING IS THE SAME
ONCE YOU DO.

- SHERIFF, CAN YOU COME HERE
FOR A SECOND?

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS?

- YOUR AUNT?

- NO, NO.
THE FELLA WITH HER.

FIND OUT ALL YOU CAN ABOUT HIMFOR ME, WILL YOU?

- SOMETHING WRONG?

- NO, NOT YET.
BUT I SMELL TROUBLE.

- GIVE ME A DAY OR TWO.

- ASSUMING THIS GUY IS TROUBLE,

IT WON'T BE TOO HARD FOR YOU
TO FIND OUT, NOW WILL IT?

- WON'T BE TOO HARD
TO FIND OUT.

WON'T BE TOO HARD
TO TAKE CARE OF.

- THANK YOU, SHERIFF.

- COME IN.

THAT WAS JUST A GAME.

YOU KNOW, ADULTS PLAY GAMES,
TOO.

- THE OTHER DAY WHEN I SAID
I TALKED TO MY GRANDMA,

I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
I DIDN'T CALL HER COLLECT.

IN FACT...

I DIDN'T CALL HER AT ALL.

IT WAS KIND OF LIKE
A GAME, TOO.

SHE DIED.

BUT I DO TALK TO HER, YOU KNOW.

IN FACT, I DO IT ALL THE TIME.

HANK SAYS IT'S QUITE NORMAL
TO TALK TO A DEAD PERSON.

I'VE SEEN YOU DO IT
WITH THE CAPTAIN BEFORE.

TULA, WE SHARE SOMETHING.

WE TALK TO DEAD PEOPLE
WE LOVE.

- WELL, I FIND THAT
TALKING TO THE CAPTAIN

NOW SINCE HE'S GONE

IT'S JUST MORE REWARDING THAN ITEVER WAS WHEN HE WAS ALIVE.

IN FACT, I HAVEN'T LOST
AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM

FOR OVER EIGHT YEARS.

BESIDES, I DON'T SO MUCH
TALK TO THE CAPTAIN AS I--

- VENT?
- YES.

- VENTING IS GOOD.

WELL, I TALK TO MY GRANDMA WHENI HAVE THINGS THAT TROUBLE ME.

SOMETIMES, I JUST NEED
SOMEBODY TO TALK TO.

- YOU MIGHT TRY
THE MAN UPSTAIRS.

HE ACTUALLY LISTENS.

YOU KNOW, PRAY.

- HANK!

HANK.

IT IS SO SIMPLE.

I'VE GOT EVERYTHING I NEED TOGET HER SHIPSHAPE RIGHT HERE.

- I THOUGHT WE WEREN'T
GOING TO CUSS, HANK.

- DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP
CALLING ME THAT?

- DO GROWN-UPS PLAY GAMES
WHEN THEY'RE ALONE?

- YOU MEAN, LIKE SOLITAIRE?

- NO. LIKE...

LIKE BLIND MAN'S BLUFF.

- WELL, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHYANYBODY WOULD WANT TO DO THAT.

- TULA DOES.

- IT'S PROBABLY JUST
YOUR IMAGINATION.

- WHAT'S THIS?

- THE NUMBER OF DAYS
WE WERE AT EACH PLACE,

GIVE OR TAKE A FEW--SOMETIMES I FORGOT TO MARK IT.

YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DO YOU?

WITH ME?

JUST TAGGING ALONG.

- YOU KNOW, CALI,

WE'RE BOTH DOING
THE BEST WE KNOW HOW.

SOMETIMES THAT'S ALL THERE IS.

- I THINK TULA'S IN TROUBLE.

I THINK WE NEED TO STAY HERE.

CAN WE? DADDY?

- SURE. SURE.

- YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT.

YOU SAID WE'D SETTLE DOWN, SEE.

RICHMOND, ATLANTA, NEW ORLEANS,
BILOXI,

ST. LOUIS, OKLAHOMA CITY,
TULSA, FORT WORTH.

- YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

- NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU SHOULDN'T SAY ONE THING
AND DO ANOTHER.

- WE GO WHERE THE MONEY IS.
IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

- AND I JUST GET DRAGGED ALONG.

- MAKE SURE YOU'RE ONLY
PULLING WEEDS.

WHAT'S WRONG?

- DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE

TO FEEL COMPLETELY ALONE
IN THE WORLD?

THE FEELING WHEN ONE PERSON
IN THE WORLD

WHO'S SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU
THE MOST DOESN'T?

- OH, CALI.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

YOUR FATHER--
- MY FATHER DOESN'T WANT ME.

- DON'T SAY THAT.

- WHEREVER WE GO
I'M AFRAID TO GO TO SLEEP

BECAUSE IF I DO, HE MAY NOT
BE THERE WHEN I WAKE UP.

I STAY AWAKE WHEN HE'S
AT POOL HALLS, BARS,

EVEN WHEN HE'S IN THE NEXT BED.

THE ONLY TIME
I CAN SLEEP IN PEACE

IS WHEN WE'RE ON THE ROAD.

IF I'M IN THE CAR...

THERE'S NO WAY HE CAN LEAVE ME.

TULA!
- OH! OH.

OH, DEAR.

YOU KNOW, LOVE AND LIFE
CAN BE

THE MOST WONDERFUL ANDAWFUL THINGS AT THE SAME TIME.

YOU'VE JUST GOT TO TRY TO MAKE
THE BEST OF BOTH, OKAY?

- THANK YOU, TULA.

- OH, BABY. OH.

- SHE JOGS IN BEAUTY
LIKE THE NIGHT.

both:

- I SEE YOU FOUND THE LOW POINTOF CUMBERLAND'S SOCIAL SCENE,

THE POOL HALL.

- WELL, SOME FOLKS THINK OF ITLIKE THAT.

I LIKE TO THINK OF ITAS A WAY TO MAKE SOME FAST CASH.

WHEN YOU GOT A KID AND ALL, BOY,

YOU NEED ALL THE CASH
YOU CAN GET.

- I WANT TO SHOW YOU
SOMETHING.

THIS IS WHAT THEY USED TO CALLA HOPE CHEST.

SILLY OLD RELIC
OF THE PAST.

ASKING YOU TO TAKE EVERYTHINGTHAT MAKES UP WHO YOU ARE

AND PUT IT AWAY
IN HOPES OF FINDING A MAN.

AND YOU GET LOST
IN HIS IDENTITY

UNTIL THE DAY HE DIES,

AND THEN YOU'RE LEFT ALONE
AGAIN.

- OH MY GOSH, THAT IS
A BEAUTIFUL DRESS.

MY GRANDMA WAS WEARING
A DRESS JUST LIKE THAT.

- WELL, BELIEVE ME,

I WAS BURIED IN THIS ONE, TOO.

IT'S MY WEDDING DRESS.

- YOU DON'T REALLY MEAN THAT,DO YOU, TULA?

- NO, NOT ALWAYS.

TRUTH IS, WE WERE A FINE MATCH.

I JUST GAVE UP TOO MUCH,
THAT'S ALL.

- YOUR DAUGHTER IS
SOMETHING SPECIAL.

DO YOU KNOW THAT IT TOOK ME
SIX MONTHS

BEFORE TULA LET ME
INSIDE HER HOUSE?

BEFORE THAT I HAD TO TALK TO HERTHROUGH AN OPEN WINDOW.

- YEAH, CALI'S ONE TOUGH COOKIE.

SHE WON'T TAKE NO
FOR AN ANSWER.

- WELL, NO ISN'T AN EASY CONCEPTFOR A KID TO UNDERSTAND.

- I LOVE MY LITTLE GIRL,
BUT...

- YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER.

THAT LITTLE GIRL OF YOURS
IS GOING

TO GROW UP BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

- SO HERE IT COMES,
THE SPEECH ABOUT SETTLING DOWN.

- HANK, YOU CAN'T FORCE SOMEONE
TO BE TIED TO A PLACE.

YOU CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THEY LIKETHE PEOPLE THERE ENOUGH

TO PUT DOWN SOME ROOTS.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO BELIEVEWHEN I GOT TO THE RIGHT PLACE,

I'D KNOW IT.

- YOU'LL KNOW IT.

I'VE GOT TO FINISH MY RUN.

- YOURS?

- MM-HMM.

- I HAD A DOLL ONCE.

WE LIVED IN SANTA FE.

I HAD TO LEAVE
IN A HURRY.

SHE GOT LEFT BEHIND
BY ACCIDENT.

- WHY DON'T YOU TAKE HER.

SHE'S NOT DOING ANYBODY
ANY GOOD IN THIS OLD TRUNK.

- OH, THANK YOU, TULA.

I PROMISE I'LL NEVER LEAVE HER.

- YOU'RE WELCOME.

OKAY, COME ON.

LET'S LEAVE THIS OLD ATTIC
AND DO SOMETHING FUN.

- SO ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN,

WOULD YOU SAY YOU
AND THE CAPTAIN'S MARRIAGE

RATED A SIX?

- I THOUGHT WE WEREDOING MY HAIR, NOT 20 QUESTIONS.

- JUST RELAX.

THINK OF IT AS
BEAUTY PARLOR TALK.

- ALL RIGHT.

- WHATEVER GETS SAID HERE
STAYS HERE.

SO, NOT EVEN A SIX, HUH?

SO, YOU FELL OUT OF LOVE
WITH THE CAPTAIN?

- OH NEVER, NEVER.

IT'S JUST THAT HE KEPT
CHASING ONE DREAM AFTER ANOTHER

TILL, AFTER A WHILE,
I JUST FELT LEFT BEHIND.

- I KNOW HOW THAT FEELS.

ABSOLUTE WORST.

IT'S HANK. HE'S HOME EARLY.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

I'M GOING TO GO TALK
SOME TURKEY.

- WHY DON'T YOU LET ME
TALK TURKEY

WITH YOUR FATHER THIS TIME.

- MR. FORD?

WE HAD AN AGREEMENT,
MR. FORD.

FOR ROOM AND BOARD
AND $40 A DAY,

YOU HAVE TO ACCOMPLISH
CERTAIN THINGS.

- I'M JUST WAITING FOR--

- YES, I KNOW THAT YOU'REWAITING FOR PARTS FOR THE CAR.

BUT THAT SHOULDN'T HOLD YOU BACK

FROM TACKLING SOME OFTHE OTHER THINGS I REQUESTED,

NONE OF WHICH INVOLVE
YOU AND THAT--THAT BOAT.

- WELL, FIRST THING
IN THE MORNING, I WILL--

- OH, EXCUSES, EXCUSES.

LET'S TALK TURKEY, MR. FORD.

SEE, FIRST OF ALL, THE MAILBOXNEEDS TO BE PAINTED.

THE WOOD NEEDS TO BE CUT
AND SPLIT.

AND THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING

OF THE LIST OF THINGS THAT I
ASKED YOU TO DO THE DAY BEFORE.

IF I WERE YOU,

I WOULD GET CRACKING
BEFORE BREAKFAST

BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVEA VERY LONG DAY.

- YOU REALLY SEEM TO HAVE
HANK WORKING AWAY.

- OH, IT'S AMAZING
WHAT YOU CAN GET DONE

WHEN YOU TALK TURKEY
TO SOMEBODY.

- HOW LONG'S HE BEEN AT IT?

- SINCE THE SUN CAME UP.

HE DIDN'T EVEN STOP
FOR LUNCH.

- I'M NOT SO SURE I WANT
TO SPEAK TO YOU RIGHT NOW.

- YEAH, WHY IS THAT?

- I DON'T THINK THE WARDEN
AND HER ASSISTANT

WOULD BE TOO HAPPY TO SEE ME
YAPPING AND NOT WORKING.

- THEY ARE QUITE A PAIR.

- YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

- THEY TOLD ME YOU
DIDN'T EVEN STOP FOR LUNCH.

- I WAS AFRAID TO.
- YOU MUST BE STARVING THEN.

- BEYOND.

- WHY DON'T YOU WASH UP,
COME BY MY PLACE,

AND WE CAN GRAB A BITE
TO EAT.

- YOU ASKING ME OUT ON A DATE?

- NO. NOT REALLY.

I JUST THOUGHT THAT YOU MIGHTWANT A GOOD MEAL

AND A CHANCE TO ESCAPE THEM
FOR A WHILE.

YOU GOT YOURSELF A DEAL.
I'LL EVEN PAY.

- NO, HANK, I DID THE INVITING.
SO I'LL DO THE PAYING.

- I LIKE A FREE-SPENDING WOMAN.

- I'LL SEE YOU AT EIGHT.

- SO, YOU DIDN'T COME
ALL THE WAY OUT HERE

TO CHECK THE HOUSEHOLD
IMPROVEMENTS

OR FRATERNIZE WITH THE HELP.

COME ON, SPILL IT.

- BILLIE WANTS TO COME BY
TOMORROW

AND MAKE A PERSONAL PLEAABOUT THE HOUSE AND THE LAND.

- OKAY, FINE.

YOU JUST BRING HER ON.
I'M READY.

IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT I PUT
AN END TO ALL THAT NONSENSE.

COME ON, CALI.
- MS. KYLES?

- YEAH.
- BE CAREFUL OF HANK.

HE SAYS A LOT OF THINGS
THAT HE DOESN'T MEAN.

- I THINK I CAN HANDLE HIM,
CALI.

- THAT'S WHAT I KEEP ON
TELLING MYSELF,

AND LOOK WHERE IT'S GOTTEN ME.

- YOUR HAIR LOOKS LOVELY TODAY.

- THANK YOU. I DECIDED
TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

- WELL, I LIKE IT.

- WHOA.

SLIPPERY LITTLE DEVILS,
AREN'T THEY?

- OH, NOW WHERE DID THAT
BLASTED LEMON GO?

- HOLD IT, HOLD IT.
WAIT A MINUTE.

THERE, YOU ALMOSTSTEPPED ON THE LITTLE BUGGER.

LOOK, I DON'T MEAN TO BE
A PEST,

BUT HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY THOUGHT

TO THAT SPECIALIST IN BOULDER?

- WHAT GOOD WOULD THAT DO?

WE'RE ONLY DELAYING
THE INEVITABLE.

- OH, TULA.

NOW, WE'RE ALL GONNA
DIE SOME DAY.

WHY DON'T WE GO UP TO THE ROOFRIGHT NOW

AND JUMP OFF HEADFIRST
AND GET IT OVER WITH?

I JUST GET SO TIRED
OF HEARING SOMEONE

THAT I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT

BEING SO CAVALIER ABOUT--OH.

I KNOW THAT YOU LOVED
YOUR HUSBAND.

BUT IT'S BEEN EIGHT YEARS, TULA.

MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT
OFF MY CHEST BEFORE NOW.

- I HAD NO IDEA THAT YOU
FELT THAT WAY ABOUT ME.

- THAT'S THE PROBLEM
WITH...

BEING A GENTLEMAN.

CONGENIAL COMPLIMENTS,
THE ONES FROM THE HEART,

KIND OF GET ALL JUMBLED UP.

- I DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO MAKE OF THIS.

- YOU MAKE OF IT
WHAT YOU WISH, TULA.

THAT'S THE WAY I FEEL.

I'M GOING TO TAKE A RAIN CHECKON THAT LEMONADE.

- SO THIS IS THE DINNER RUSH,HUH?

- I'M SURE BY NOW YOU'VE
REALIZED THAT CUMBERLAND

HAS NO MYSTERIES.

- WELL, I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.

IT'S A MYSTERY WHY
YOU ASKED ME TO DINNER.

- WELL, SOMETIMES IT'S BEST
NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS

AND JUST GO WITH THE FLOW.

- WITH THE FLOW?

- YEAH, THE FLOW.

- SO WHERE WOULD THIS FLOW
BE TAKING ME?

- I CAN TELL YOU
WHERE IT'S NOT TAKING YOU.

- AND WHERE WOULD THAT BE?
- BACK TO MY PLACE.

AT LEAST NOT TONIGHT.

- WHY DO I HAVE THE FEELING IHAVE NO SAY IN ANY OF THIS FLOW?

- SEE, HANK, YOU AREA VERY PERCEPTIVE MAN.

AND THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGSI LIKE ABOUT YOU.

- SO YOU REALLY LIKE
SOMETHING ABOUT ME?

- YOU'RE GOOD LOOKING,

AND YOU CARE ABOUT
YOUR DAUGHTER,

ALBEIT IN THE ROUNDABOUT WAY
THAT ME CARE ABOUT THINGS.

BUT...

- BUT WHAT?

- WELL, YOU'RE A BIT
OF A PLAYER.

AND I WANT TO SEE
IF I CAN TRUST YOU.

- AND YOU THINK
I CAN GIVE YOU...

- MAYBE, MAYBE NOT.

BUT IT'S HARD FOR
A SMALL TOWN GAL LIKE MYSELF

TO RESIST A DANGEROUS STRANGER.

- SO I'M DANGEROUS, TOO.

- ANY MAN THAT A WOMAN
WOULD LET INTO HER HEART

WHO CAN JUST UP AND TAKE OFF
ONE DAY IS DANGEROUS.

BUT THAT IS THE RISK WE RUN.

- I WONDER WHAT YOU WOULD
THINK OF ME NOW, CAPTAIN.

EIGHT YEARS, AND NOT
ONE BIT RICHER OR WISER.

A LITTLE MORE BROKEN DOWN.

A LITTLE FURTHER
FROM OUR DREAM.

BUT I'M GOING TO
TRY TO CHANGE THAT.

I'VE GOT A MAN CHASING ME.

SO DON'T YOU EVEN THINK
OF BEING JEALOUS

WHEN I GET MY NEW LOOK.

I'M TIRED OF LIVING
IN THE PAST.

AND I HOPE THAT YOU'LL
BE HAPPY FOR ME.

- WELL, WELL.

- YOU'VE GOT THIS PLACELOOKING LIKE A MILLION BUCKS.

- HELLO!

- HELLO, HANK.

JAN?

HUH.

- WELL, WHEN YOU FINISH
WITH YOUR WORK,

WHY DON'T WE GO FOR
ANOTHER SWIM?

HANK JUST LOVES TO GO DOWN
TO THAT OLD SWIMMIN' HOLE.

SO, TULA REALLY WANTED YOU
HERE TODAY?

- YES.

AND WHEN WE'RE DONE
HANK AND I HAVE A DATE.

WE'RE PUTTING OUT BIRD FEEDERSFOR TULA BY THE RIVER.

YOU KNOW THAT LITTLESECLUDED SPOT WITH THE TREES?

- IS THAT RIGHT, HANK,

THAT LITTLE SECLUDED SPOT
DOWN BY THE RIVER?

- THAT'S ABOUT THE SIZE OF IT.

- WELL...

YOU TWO HAVE A LOVELY TIME.

- THE WATERING HOLE, HUH?

- TULA SAID TO THANK YOU
FOR COMING.

SHE HAS NOW AGREED TO SEE YOU.

- WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?
THE QUEEN?

- DOESN'T SHE LOOK LOVELY?

- WE EXPERIMENTED WITH
A LOT OF DIFFERENT STYLES.

- LOVELY.

- I'VE ASKED YOU BOTH
TO COME HERE TODAY

TO TALK TURKEY.

THERE COMES A POINT IN LIFE

WHERE YOU HAVE TO
QUIT LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER

AND LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD.

AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT
DR. PHIL SAYS.

I'VE CHOSEN TO LIVE PRIVATELYIN MY LIFE FOR A REASON.

BUT THINGS ARE GOING
TO CHANGE.

I AM NOT SELLING MY HOUSE.

I'M NOT LETTING ANYONE
FORCE ME OUT OF MY HOUSE

WHILE I'M STILL ALIVE.

I HAVE MY OWN PLANS
FOR MY HOUSE.

AND I INTEND TO HAVE MR. FORDAND HIS DAUGHTER HELP ME.

SO...

YOU CAN TELL YOUR BROTHER,

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,

THE GOLF COURSE
PLANNING COMMITTEE.

WOULD YOU DO THAT FOR ME?

AND...

I'M NOT WILLING IT TO YOU
EITHER.

TRY NOT TO HAVE A COW.

- THIS NEWFOUND INDEPENDENCE

MAY BE VERY DIFFICULT
FOR FAMILY MEMBERS

AND FRIENDS TO ACCEPT.

I WOULD SUGGEST WATCHING OPRAH.

IT HELPS.

- JUST ABOUT GOT IT.

THESE THINGS TEND TO BE TRICKY.

YOU WASTED HALF OF IT.

- TO UM...

TO GOING WITH THE FLOW.

- I HOPE THIS IS A BEGINNING.

- HOW ABOUT A CHOICE.

- I HATE IT WHEN YOU SMOKE.

YOU COULD BURN
THE WHOLE PLACE DOWN.

- THE WHOLE PLACE
IS BURNING DOWN.

DON'T YOU GET IT, DAVE?

ALL OUR DREAMS ARE
BURNING DOWN AROUND US.

- TULA'S ALWAYS BEEN DIFFICULT,
OKAY. NOTHING'S CHANGED.

- OH, PLENTY'S CHANGED.

SHE'S GOT A LITTLE SUPPORT GROUPAROUND HER NOW.

JUST GET 'EM IN WITH US
OR OUT OF HERE.

- WHO?
- HANK FORD.

JUST GET HIM IN OR GET HIM OUT.

- LOOK, BILLIE, HE'S NOTHING
BUT A DRIFTER, OKAY.

EVENTUALLY,
HE'LL JUST MOVE ON.

- YOU THINK SO?
- YEAH.

- HAVE YOU SEEN THE HOUSE?
IT LOOKS GREAT.

HE'S EVEN DATING
THE COUNTY SOCIAL WORKER.

THIS GOES ON A FEW MORE WEEKS,

AND WE'LL NEVER GET HER
OFF THAT LAND.

- OKAY.

CARLA? DAVE JEETERS HERE.

IS THE SHERIFF IN?

- THAT'S IT?

- FOR NOW, YES.

YOU HAVE PROVEN THAT
YOU ARE MORE THAN CAPABLE

OF CARING FOR YOURSELF

AND PROVIDING FOR
THE UPKEEP OF YOUR HOME.

THE COUNTY ISN'T IN A POSITIONTO DEEM YOU OTHERWISE.

- I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE

FOR BEING SO HARD ON YOU
BEFORE.

I REALIZE THAT YOU WERE
DOING YOUR JOB,

AND I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW.

- I DO THIS JOB, TULA,BECAUSE I LIKE HELPING PEOPLE.

SOME JUST MAKE IT
HARDER THAN OTHERS.

- I'M SO SORRY.

- I MEANT YOUR NIECE AND NEPHEW.

YOU WERE FEISTY ALL RIGHT,
BUT I DON'T BLAME YOU.

I'D FIGHT FOR WHAT WAS MINE.

I'VE GOT TO RUN.

- SHERIFF?

- HOW MUCH THAT DRIFTER
TAKE YOU FOR ANYWAY?

- A COUPLE OF BUCKS.

- YOU, UH, INTERESTED
IN MAKING IT BACK

BY HELPING ME OUT
WITH SOMETHING?

- I'M LISTENING.

- HEY!
- HELLO.

- I'M GLAD YOU TWO
CAME BY TODAY.

I JUST GOT APPROVAL
FROM MY BOSS

TO THROW A CHARITY AUCTION
FOR THE WOMEN'S CENTER.

I PUT TOGETHER A LIST
OF DONORS

WHO HAVE GIVEN GENEROUSLYTO DRIVES LIKE THIS IN THE PAST.

SOMETHING WRONG?

- WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?

I JUST TURNED THIS REPORT IN
THIS MORNING.

WHERE AND HOW IS NOT IMPORTANT,
MS. KYLES.

- DO YOU ACTUALLY EXPECT US
TO SIT BACK

WHILE YOU AND
YOUR DRIFTER BOYFRIEND

GET IN THE WAY OF US TAKING
WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS?

- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH ME OR HANK.

THIS IS ABOUT TULA,

AND I SEE NO REASON WHY SHESHOULD BE MOVED OUT OF HER HOME.

- THIS REPORT CAME RIGHT OUT
OF YOUR BOSS'S OFFICE.

YOU WANT TO PLAY HARDBALL,
FINE.

IT WOULD BE VERY EASY
FOR ME TO PICK UP THE PHONE

AND LET HIM KNOW WHAT
A QUOTE

"WONDERFUL JOB"
YOU'VE BEEN DOING.

- LIKE LETTING A MAN
AND AN UNDER-AGED GIRL

WHO OBVIOUSLY HASN'T BEEN IN AFORMAL EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

HER ENTIRE LIFE

SQUAT AT AN ELDERLY WOMAN'S
HOME?

- FIRST, IT'S SUMMER.

SO CALI WOULDN'T
BE IN SCHOOL ANYWAY.

AND, SECOND, YOU KNOW NOTHINGABOUT HANK OR CALI'S PAST.

- IS THAT SO?

- WHAT'S TO ARGUE?

THEY WERE LIVING
OUT OF THEIR CAR

BEFORE THEY CONNED
MY AUNT TULA

INTO LETTING THEM STAY
IN HER GUESTHOUSE.

- THERE WAS NO CONNING
GOING ON.

TULA INVITED THEM IN.

- LOOK AT HIS RECORD.

- WE'LL GIVE YOU A FEW DAYS
TO THINK IT OVER, MS. KYLES.

AFTER THAT, DAVE WILL START
MAKING HIS CALLS.

- SO YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO
MOVE UP TO TULA'S HOUSE?

- SURE, WHY NOT?

- WEREN'T YOU THE ONE THAT SAID
YOU DIDN'T LIKE THIS PLACE

AND WE SHOULD MOVE ON?

- IT'S GROWN ON ME.

- GROWN ON YOU?

- HANK, DON'T POUT.

- I'M YOUR FATHER.
START TREATING ME AS SUCH!

- THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO START ACTING LIKE ONE.

- BROUGHT YOU A MESS OF TROUT.

OH, ONLY FOUR.

EXCUSE ME. I THOUGHT I'D
START SMALL

AND SEE WHERE IT GOT ME.

- I'M SORRY. THANK YOU.

DOUGLAS, YOU'RE A SMART MAN.

COULD YOU TELL ME SOMETHING?

WHY IS IT THAT FIRST THE CAPTAINAND NOW THIS--THIS HANK...

WHAT IS ITWITH THIS--THIS BLASTED BOAT?

- OH, I DON'T KNOW.

SOMETIMES I THINK A PERSON
CAN GET ALL CAUGHT UP

IN THE FEAR OF FAILING.

SO THEY PUT ALL THEIR TIME
AND EFFORT

INTO THINGS THAT
JUST DON'T MATTER.

LIKE FIXING UP AN OLD BOAT.

PUTTERING ON A CAR,
FISHING.

- IS THAT WHY THE WORLD
IS SO FULL OF DREAMERS?

- WHY THE WORLD IS SO FULL
OF FOLKS

WHO ARE JUST ONE STEP AWAY FROM
HAVING EVERYTHING THEY WANT.

- THAT WAS THE CAPTAIN.

HE JUST COULDN'T RISK FAILURE

IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE
HIS DREAM.

- WE ALL HAVE OUR DREAMS, TULA.

I'VE WATCHED YOU FOR 30 YEARS,

AND LATELY YOU'VE JUST
BEEN HANGING ON,

JUST KEEPING OUT THE WORLD.

LOOK, YOU CAN PRETEND AS THOUGH
YOU DON'T HAVE A DREAM,

BUT I KNOW DIFFERENT.

INSTEAD OF JUST HANGING ON,

WHY DON'T YOU JUST LET GO?

JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND JUST THIS ONCE...

GO FOR IT.

- OH, GO WASH UP.

- EXCUSE ME, WILL YA?

- I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN
DO THAT OR NOT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, SHERIFF?
CAN I DO THAT OR NOT?

- I MAKE IT A POINT
TO KNOW EVERYONE IN MY TOWN,

HENRY CLINTON ALOYSIUS FORD.

CLINTON ALOYSIUS.

- WELL, MY MOTHER,
SHE HAD A SENSE OF HUMOR, OKAY.

- WELL, I DON'T.

FORD, YOU'VE BEEN ON THE EDGEOF TROUBLE FOR TEN YEARS NOW.

MANAGED TO CUT A SWATH
OF COMPLICATIONS

ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

- NOTHING TOO SERIOUS.

- THIS IS MY TOWN.

AND THE FOLKS HERE EXPECT METO KEEP IT NICE AND PEACEFUL.

PERSONALLY, I THINK YOU'D BESAVING US A WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE

IF YOU JUST PICK UP
AND GET OUT OF HERE,

BUT BILLIE AND DAVE JEETERS
HAVE SOMETHING

HAVE SOMETHING WANT TO
SAY TO YOUR FIRST,

AND I STRONGLY RECOMMEND
YOU HEAR IT.

- THAT WAS FUN.

THIS ROUND'S ON ME.

- HAVE A SEAT.

THANK YOU FOR COMING, MR. FORD.

I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION
I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE.

- TULA SAYS IF YOU SPEND
AS MUCH TIME

DOING THE WORK SHE GIVES YOU

AS YOU DO PLAYING EIGHT BALL
OR WORKING ON THIS OLD BOAT

THIS PLACE WOULD LOOK LIKE
A NATIONAL PARK BY NOW.

- WHAT ARE YOU GRIPING ABOUT?

THOUGHT YOU LIKED STAYING HERE,

ESPECIALLY NOW THAT
YOU'RE UP AT THE HOUSE.

- I'M NOT GRIPING.

JUST PASSING A MESSAGE ALONG.

- FIRST YOU DON'T WANT
TO STAY HERE.

NOW, I SWEAR IT'S LIKE
YOU'RE LITTLE TULA

NAGGING ME ALL THE TIME.

I MIGHT WANT TO LEAVE SOONER
RATHER THAN LATER.

- I DON'T WANT TO STAY HERE,
HANK.

I WANT TO LIVE HERE.

- WELL, I GUESS YOU DON'T
NEED ME THEN.

YOU GOT EVERYTHING YOU WANT
RIGHT HERE.

YOU GOT A PLACE TO STAY.

YOU GOT SOMEBODY
TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.

- DON'T SAY THAT.

- WHAT DOES IT MATTER
WHAT I SAY OR DO?

YOU WANT TO STAY HERE?

WE BOTH KNOW YOU'D BE
BETTER OFF IF YOU DID.

- BUT, HANK, WHAT ABOUT--- YOU CAN'T EVEN CALL ME DAD!

- GOSH DARN IT!

WHY CAN'T YOU ALL
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?!

- HELLO, UP THERE.

I'M HAVING SOME TROUBLE.

I COULD REALLY USE
THE ASSISTANCE

OF A KINDLY-HEARTED PERSON.

- SHERIFF.
- DOC.

- SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND?

- DOC, THE DRIFTER AND HIS KIDHAVE GOT TO GO.

- WHY WOULD THAT BE, SHERIFF?

- I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU COULD
REASON WITH TULA SOME.

- REASON WITH HER?

YOU MEAN, TELL HER
TO KICK 'EM OUT

SO BILLIE AND DAVE
CAN SWOOP RIGHT IN?

- DOC, DON'T MAKE THIS
HARDER THAN IT HAS TO BE.

- DON'T TRY TO TALK TO ME
LIKE WE'RE FRIENDS.

YOU JUST GO ON BACK
AND TELL THOSE TWO VULTURES

THAT THINGS ARE CHANGINGFOR THE BETTER IN TULA'S LIFE,

AND THEY'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE
TO DEAL WITH IT, THAT'S ALL.

- ALL RIGHT, HAVE IT YOUR WAY.

BUT DON'T SAY I DIDN'T GIVE YOUTHE CHANCE TO MAKE IT EASIER.

- IS THAT A THREAT, SHERIFF?

- NO, DOC,
IT'S NOT A THREAT.

- GOOD.

- YOU'RE LATE,
BUT AT LEAST YOU CAME.

NOW, ISN'T THIS NICE?

WE CAN FINALLY HAVE
SOME TIME TOGETHER.

- YOU'VE BEEN SO BUSY.

- THINGS COULD BESO MUCH BETTER FOR YOU, HANK.

- YOU GOING TO BE A PART
OF THAT BETTER?

- MAYBE, MAYBE NOT.

- YOU KNOW,
TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, BILLIE,

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY
I CAME HERE TONIGHT.

- BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS
IS THAT YOU'RE HERE, RIGHT?

DID YOU HAVE TO SNEAK OUTBEHIND THE SOCIAL WORKER'S BACK?

- OH. YOU DID.

SO THAT'S WHAT HAS YOU
SO TENSE.

- THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

SO LET'S DROP IT.

- AWFULLY TOUCHY FOR IT
NOT TO BE.

BUT, OKAY, IT'S DROPPED.

- I JUST CAME TO TELL YOU

I CAN'T AND I WON'T BE BOUGHT.

I'LL MOVE ON WHEN I'M READY TO.

IT MIGHT BE A WEEK.
IT MIGHT BE A YEAR.

BUT IT WILL BE ON MY TERMS.

- DON'T BE A FOOL, HANK.

YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT THINK
YOU'VE GOT IT MADE

AT OLD AUNT TULA'S,
BUT YOU BETTER THINK TWICE.

SHE'S PROBABLY GOT YOU
WORKING LIKE A DOG,

DOESN'T TREAT YOU MUCH BETTERTHAN A MANGY ONE.

- YOU DON'T KNOW.
- OKAY, SHE DIES IN A WEEK

OR A YEAR,
AND YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK.

IT'S JUST MORE TIME SPENT WITHNOTHING TO SHOW FOR YOUR EFFORT.

- PROBABLY.

BUT AT LEAST I'LL HAVE
THAT MEMORY

OF ME AND YOU
AT THE SWIMMING HOLE

TO KEEP ME WARM AT NIGHT.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I HAVE
TO GO HAVE DINNER WITH JAN.

- HEY. HOW'S YOUR BOYFRIEND?

- HE'S NOT WITH YOU.
SO I MUST BE JUST FINE.

- HE WAS JUST WITH ME.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD ASK HIM
ABOUT US.

- I DON'T REALLY CARE TO KNOW.

- WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO KID?

- MAYBE YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF
THE SAME QUESTION.

BESIDES, HOW IS MY RELATIONSHIPWITH HANK ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS?

YOU, I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT.

HANK, ON THE OTHER HAND--

- DON'T LIKE LOSING OUT
TO LESSER COMPETITION?

IS THAT IT?
- YOU SAID IT, NOT ME.

- YOU KNOW, BILLIE,

YOU MAY THINK THAT YOU HAVE LIFEAND MEN ALL FIGURED OUT.

BUT UNDERNEATH IT ALL,

I KNOW THAT YOU'RE JUST
BITTER AND LONELY.

AND ALL OF THIS
DOESN'T ADD UP TO MUCH.

- YOU'RE JUST MAD BECAUSETHAT'S THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE.

ALWAYS SECOND PLACE,
SECOND CHOICE,

AND A SECOND THOUGHT TO MEN.

- AND WHAT ARE YOU?

A GOOD TIME AND A STORY
WITH THEIR BUDDIES OVER A BEER?

OH, YEAH, BILLIE,

I'M REALLY JEALOUS OF
YOUR POWER OVER MEN.

HAVE A FUN NIGHT.

- YOU HAD A CHANCE
TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

- SHERIFF, BILLIE, DAVE
GAVE YOU EVERY CHANCE.

NOW, LOOK WHAT YOU'RE
GOING TO MAKE ME DO.

- AND DON'T THINK
I'M NOT ENJOYING THIS.

I NEVER SEEN WHAT
BILLIE SAW IN YOU.

- WELL, WHAT WAS IT TONIGHT,
MR. FORD?

ROAD PARTS OR CAR PARTS?

- NEITHER ONE, MRS. JEETERS.

- COME INSIDE. SIT DOWN.

YOU DON'T THINK TOOMUCH OF ME DO YOU, MRS. JEETERS?

- AH, THREE MAYBE,
FOUR ON A GOOD DAY.

MUCH MORE POTENTIAL, HOWEVER.

- THAT'S A MATTER OF OPINION.

WHERE IS SHE?

- SHE'S IN THE NEXT ROOM.

SHE--SHE FELL ASLEEP
SAYING

THAT SHE MIGHT
HAVE TO MOVE ON.

WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? HMM?

- WOULD YOU CARE TO TELL US
WHO DID THIS TO YOU?

- AH...

- DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD.

- DON'T TELL HER ABOUT THIS,
OKAY?

- OH, I DON'T THINK
YOU COULD HIDE THAT.

GOODNIGHT, MR. FORD.

- GOOD MORNING.

- MORNING.

- CALI, WOULD YOU GO INSIDE
FOR A SECOND?

I WANT TO TALK
TO YOUR DAD.

- GO GET ME SOMETHING
COLD TO DRINK, CALI.

COME ON. GET GOING.

GO.

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK.

HI.

COME ON, JAN.
DON'T DO THAT.

- HANK, I WAS HONEST WITH YOUFROM THE BEGINNING.

I TOLD YOU I WOULD NEVER
GET INVOLVED WITH YOU

IF YOU CONTINUED
TO ACT LIKE THIS.

- YOU'RE JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS.I DIDN'T--

- NO, HANK.
DON'T! STOP!

CALI TOLD ME WHAT YOU SAID
TO HER THE OTHER DAY.

- HMM.

- TULA'S DECIDED TO LET CALI
STAY HERE IF SHE WANTS.

AND YOU CAN RUN OFF LIKETHE SCARED LITTLE BOY YOU ARE.

DAVID AND BILLIE THREATENED
MY JOB THE OTHER DAY.

IF I DIDN'T REVERSE
MY REPORT ON TULA,

THEY'D CALL MY SUPERVISOR ANDTELL THEM ALL ABOUT YOU AND ME.

THAT MEANS ALL ABOUT
YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER, HANK.

DON'T YOU SEE THAT THEY'RE
PLAYING ALL THE ANGLES?

THEY CAME AFTER ME
BECAUSE OF YOU,

AND THEY CAME AFTER YOU
BECAUSE THEY FIGURED

YOU COULD BOUGHT, BRIBED,
OR SCARED INTO LEAVING.

- WHAT'S THAT?

- DAVE HAD THE SHERIFFDO A BACKGROUND CHECK ON YOU.

DIG UP SOME DIRT.
- JAN--

- NO, DON'T, HANK.

EVEN AFTER READING THAT,

I WAS STILL WILLING
TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE.

BUT NOW WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE,RIGHT?

- RIGHT.

- RIGHT.

- I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.

I NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D
TAKE THE EYE EXAM,

LET ALONE MAKE AN APPOINTMENTFOR A PROCEDURE.

- OH, I COULDN'T TAKE THE CHANCEOF MISSING ALL THE SUNRISES,

THE SUNSETS, MY FLOWERS.

YOUR FACE.
NO WAY.

- THANK YOU.

I'M GOING TO CLEAR UP
MY SCHEDULE NEXT WEEK

SO I CAN BE WITH YOU
ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

- MMM.

- HOW YOU FEELING TODAY?

- I'VE BEEN BETTER.

BEEN A WHOLE LOT WORSE.

- YOU KNOW, I WAS WONDERING,

WOULD YOU MIND TAKING
A LOOK AT MY CAR?

AND I'VE GOT A COUPLE
OF OTHER PEOPLE IN TOWN

WHO ARE INTERESTED, TOO.

- DO YOU MIND?

- YOU KNOW, HANK,

YOU COULD MAKE A GOOD LIVING

SETTLING DOWN HERE.

IN CUMBERLAND, I MEAN.

HELPING TULA WOULD JUST
BE THE START OF IT.

I GOT A BUILDING
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN.

YEARS AGO, IT USED TO BE
A GARAGE.

IT COULD BE AGAIN.

- THEY PUT YOU UP TO THIS?
- NO.

BUT I HEARD ABOUT
YOUR BLOW UP THIS MORNING.

- MY BLOW UP?

- LOOK, ALL I'M TRYING TO DO

IS TO SHOW YOU SOME ALTERNATIVESFOR YOUR FUTURE, THAT'S ALL.

- IT'S A NICE THOUGHT, DOC.

I DON'T THINK I HAVE
MUCH OF A FUTURE HERE.

- LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

A MAN DOESN'T HAND ANOTHER ONEA BEATING LIKE THAT

UNLESS HE'S AFRAID OF HIM.

- WELL, YOU WEREN'T ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT BEATING.

- WELL, THAT'S FAIR ENOUGH.

WELL, IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND,YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME.

- DO YOU THINK HE'LL JUST
UP AND LEAVE HER

IF HE GETS THE CHANCE?

- HE ALREADY HAS THE CHANCE.

I JUST HOPE HE DOESN'T TAKE IT.

- YOU REALLY LIKE HIM,
DON'T YOU?

- OH, TULA...

I HAVE CHASED MORE MENIN MY LIFE WHO WERE BAD FOR ME

THAN I CARE TO REMEMBER.

I JUST THOUGHT I COULD
CHANGE THIS ONE.

I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING.

- WELL, IF YOU THOUGHT
YOU SAW SOMETHING,

THEN IT MUST BE THERE.

GOODNESS KNOWS,

CALI KEEPS BELIEVING,
SO IT MUST BE TRUE.

- SO ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO DOTHIS BED AND BREAKFAST THING?

- DOC AND I ARE
GOING TO TRY IT.

- DOC AND YOU?

- MM-HMM. DOC AND ME.

- TULA, YOU NEVER CEASE
TO AMAZE ME.

- HANK!

- TULA!

TULA! HE'S GONE!

THE CAR'S GONE,
AND HIS STUFF IS MISSING.

- OH.

I'M SO SORRY.

YOU OKAY? OH...

- OKAY.

SO?

- WELL, ONE OF THE BOYS THAT
I HAD POSTED

OUT BY TULA'S PLACE

CAUGHT HIM SNEAKING OUT
AT THE CRACK OF DAWN.

MR. FORD IS GONE FOR GOOD.

all:

- OR AT LEAST HE MADE
A WONDERFUL SHOW OF IT.

- OH, THANK YOU, SHERIFF.

- SURE.
- OKAY.

- THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- OBLIGED, BILLIE.

- SEE YA.- WE'LL BE SEEING YOU AROUND.

- PHEW!

- I THINK WE SHOULD PAY A VISIT
TO OUR AUNT TULA.

- SHALL WE?

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

YOU ARE NOT WELCOME.

JAN TOLD ME HOW
YOU THREATENED HER.

- OH, CAN THE TOUGH GIRL
ROUTINE, AUNT TULA.

WE KNOW YOUR HOUSEBOY
HAS TAKEN OFF.

- SO?

- SO...

HOW LONG DOES SHE THINK
SHE CAN KEEP UP THIS PLACE

WITHOUT HIS HELP?

- AH, GIVE IT A FEW MONTHS.

THE PLACE WILL LOOK WORSE
THAN IT DID BEFORE HE GOT HERE.

- OH, I WOULDN'T BE
TOO SURE ABOUT THAT.

- AND, MS. KYLES,

IF YOU THOUGHT WE WERE
THREATENING YOU BEFORE,

I WONDER WHAT YOURCOUNTY SUPERVISOR WOULD THINK

OF YOU TURNING A BLIND EYE
TO A MINOR LIVING HERE

WHO'S BEEN ABANDONED
BY HER FATHER?

- ESPECIALLY ONE WHO LIVES
WITH A WOMAN

WHO WILL SOON BE UNABLE
TO CARE FOR HERSELF.

- YOU WISH.

- NOPE.

I THINK THE GAMES

AND THE FLIGHTS OF FANCY
ARE OVER WITH.

- DADDY.

- WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED TO SEEYOU TWO BUZZARDS HERE SO SOON?

- OH, BRAVO.
THERE HERO RETURNS.

- TOO BAD HE'S A BUM.

- IT'S TOO BAD
YOU'RE A TRAMP.

- DADDY!
- HEY, HEY.

- I KNEW YOU'D COME BACK,
DADDY.

- THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT THESE.

DOC, I WAS WONDERING IF
YOU'RE STILL INTERESTED

IN ME HAVING A LOOK AT
THAT CAR IN THAT GARAGE?

- IT WOULD BE MY PLEASURE.

- ALL RIGHT, YOU TWO.

HOW MANY TIMES
DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU

THAT I DON'T WANT YOU HERE.

- YOU'RE ALL MAKING
A HUGE MISTAKE HERE.

- GET OUT.

- WE'LL END UP GETTING
WHAT WE WANT

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

- OH, NO YOU WON'T.

SEE, NEXT WEEK
I'M HAVING EYE SURGERY,

AND AFTER THAT,
YOU JUST TRY

AND TAKE MY HOUSE
AWAY FROM ME AND DOC.

- NOW, SHOO!

- OH, AND MR. FORD?

TONS OF POTENTIAL.

- I KNEW YOU'D COME BACK, DADDY.

I WAS JUST AFRAID TO SAY IT
IN CASE I JINXED IT.

- TAKE A LOT MORE THAN A JINXTO GET RID OF ME.

both:

- I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE
FOR BEING SO HARD ON YOU.

- NO, YOU DON'T.
YOU WERE RIGHT.

I'M MORE SCARED THAN
I'VE EVER BEEN.

- WELL, MAYBE I CAN
HELP YOU WITH THAT.

- MAYBE.

- OH, MR. FORD?
- YES, MA'AM?

- IS THAT BOAT SEAWORTHY?

- YES, MA'AM, I BELIEVE IT IS.

- WELL, GOOD.

WHEN DOC AND I GET BACK
FROM BOULDER,

THEN WHY DON'T WE ALL TAKE
A RIDE AROUND THE LAKE?

MR. FORD, PLEASE DON'T
"YES MA'AM" ME.

MY NAME IS TULA.

LIFE IS SO FULL OF SURPRISES.

AFTER THE CAPTAIN DIED,

I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I COULDFIND LOVE OR HAPPINESS AGAIN.

EVERY DAY WAS THE SAME,

AND THE NEXT HELDNO MORE PROMISE THAN THE LAST.

BUT THEN THESE TWO PEOPLE
ENTERED MY LIFE,

AND THEY WERE EVEN MORE LOST
IN THIS WORLD THAN I WAS.

WHERE I THOUGHT THAT I COULDN'T
CARE ABOUT ANYONE AGAIN,

MY WORLD WAS SUDDENLY OPENED
TO A NEW LOVE,

LIFE, AND FAMILY.

MY EYE OPERATION
WAS A SUCCESS.

AND WHAT I NOW SEE

IS OPPORTUNITY
TO CHASE MY DREAMS.

AND ALONG THE WAY
I HOPE TO MAKE SURE

THAT HANK AND CALI FINALLY

HAVE A PLACE THAT
THEY CAN CALL HOME.
