HE JUST WASN'T HAVING IT.

OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS

MM.

EVIE-CAKES?

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH
THE CELL RECEPTION OUT HERE?

THEY DON'T DO MOBILE
IN THE BOONIES?

WHOA.
HELLO, GUN CONTROL.

WHAT IS THAT?

THAT WAS A GIFT FROM
GENERAL ULYSSES S. GRANT

TO ROBERT E. LEE.

THEY BOTH SERVED
AS JUNIOR OFFICERS

DURING THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN
WAR OF 1846.

IT'S BEEN IN
THE LEE FAMILY EVER SINCE.

WE FOUGHT THE MEXICANS?

WHO WON?
( chuckling )

( doorbell chiming )

Honey: EVIE...

EVIE WOULD
YOU MIND GETTING THAT?

CITY BOY,
WHY DON'T YOU
COME HELP ME...

- UH.
- ...BEFORE YOU
GET IN TROUBLE.

OH.

HELLO, MISS EVIE.

HI.

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SERVICE.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

OF COURSE.

WE'RE ALL
GONNA MISS HIM.

MEANS A LOT COMING
FROM YOU-- THANK YOU.

AND YOU REMEMBER
OUR SON ANGEL?

( chuckles )

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

- HI.
- HI.

YOU GOT TALL.

PLEASE, COME IN.

- THANK YOU.
- COME IN.

ADAM?

ADAM MILLOY?

IT'S GOOD
TO SEE YOU, EVIE.

HE MEANS A LOT TO ME.

I'D BEEN DOING A LITTLE WORK
FOR HIM ON THE SIDE.

MISS HONEY INVITED ME.

I BROUGHT A PIE.

UH, PLEASE.

( insects chirping )

IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.
I LOVE WHEN YOU WEAR IT
LIKE THAT.

Evie:
THANKS FOR HELPING
WITH MY HAIR, MISS HONEY.

IT'S FINE, BABY, IT'S FINE.

OKAY, YOU LOOK GOOD.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP.

POPS, WOULD YOU
ASK THE BLESSING?

JUST... TAKE MY HAND.

DEAR FATHER...

BLESS US THIS FOOD WHICH
WE ARE ABOUT TO RECEIVE.

LET IT NOURISH US,

HEAL US,
AND PROVIDE SUSTENANCE

FOR THE LONG ROAD AHEAD.

IN THE GOOD LORD'S NAME.

AMEN.

All:
AMEN.

- ( mutters )
- AMEN.

EVIE, WOULD YOU PASS
THE DRESSING, PLEASE?

YES, MA'AM.

IT'S SO GOOD TO FINALLY
SEE YOU, MISS EVIE.

YOU GONNA STAY FOR A WHILE?

UH, I HAVE TO BE
GETTING BACK TO L.A.

WE ACTUALLY ARE STARTING
A CHRISTMAS TOUR, SO...

OH.

YEAH, BABETTE'S DOING
AN INTERNATIONAL TOUR.

25 CITIES IN 25 DAYS.

GET IT?

WHO'S BABETTE?

IS SHE AN INTERNET
SENSATION LIKE YOU?

INTERNET?

I-I, NO, NO,
NO, NO.

SHE HAS HER OWN
RECORD LABEL.

WAIT, GO BACK,
WHAT WERE YOU--

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

OH, EVIE HERE
IS FAMOUS IN THESE PARTS.

WELL, I WOULDN'T--

I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLE
THAT YOU WORK FOR BABETTE.

SHE'S SO COOL.

WELL, THAT'S ALL
WELL AND GOOD,

BUT WHAT ABOUT
YOUR MUSIC CAREER?

WELL, I--

HER MUSIC CAREER?

I MEAN, SHE WORKS
WITH BABETTE.

- WHAT MORE COULD
SHE WANT, RIGHT?
- ( Evie chuckles nervously )

YEAH, YEAH.

YEAH.

SO WHAT IS IT
THAT YOU DO, CHEZ?

ME?

OH, WELL...
I'M AN ACTOR.

WHOA. WHAT MOVIES
HAVE YOU BEEN IN?

WELL, SEE, I'M MORE
OF A THEATER ACTOR.

FILM ACTING DOESN'T PAY ENOUGH
ATTENTION TO THE CRAFT.

AND AT THE END OF THE DAY,
THAT'S WHAT INTERESTS ME--

THE CRAFT,
MY INSTRUMENT,

KEEPING MY WEAPON SHARP.

HMM.

SO WHAT THEATER
HAVE YOU DONE?

WELL, I JUST WRAPPED
A STAGED READING

OF "A RIVER
RUNS THROUGH IT,"

WHERE I PLAYED BRAD PITT.

( giggling )

HMM.

( all chuckling )

WHAT HAVE YOU
BEEN UP TO, ADAM?

AHEM, UM, I--

MR. ADAM JUST
GRADUATED LAW SCHOOL.

LAW SCHOOL, REALLY?

YEAH.

WHERE?

VANDERBILT.

OOH.

AND YOU CAME BACK HERE?

I KNOW THE PEOPLE,
I LOVE THE TOWN.

IT'S A COMMUNITY
I WANNA BE A PART OF.

SPEAKING OF,
THE CHRISTMAS SHOW'S
COMING UP.

SHAME YOU WON'T
BE AROUND.

- YOU ALWAYS WERE
THE MAIN ATTRACTION.
- I, UM--

WELL, ACTUALLY, UM, THOMAS
AND I ARE STARTING A BAND.

- REALLY? THAT'S GREAT.
CONGRATULATIONS.
- YEAH. THANKS.

HEY, I HEARD YOU
PLAYING LAST NIGHT.
YOU'RE REALLY GOOD.

WHAT'S THE NAME
OF YOUR BAND?

THE GYPSY MOTH EXPERIENCE.

THAT'S DEEP.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU KIDS

NAMING YOUR BAND
AFTER A PARASITIC INSECT.

( all laughing )

Evie:
THAT'S GOOD, POPS.

I DON'T GET IT.

UM, WHAT DO YOU PLAY?

I JUST, UH--
I PLAY THE DRUMS.

OH, MAN, YOU SHOULD
TOTALLY PLAY THE GUITAR.

GUITAR PLAYERS GET
ALL THE CHICKS, MAN.

EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.

LOOK INTO IT.
RIGHT, DAD?

OH, YEAH, YOU KNOW.

( clicks tongue )

( clearing throat )

( quiet chatter )

WOW, MISS HONEY...

YOU OUTDID YOURSELF
YET AGAIN.

NOTHING LIKE A GOOD MEAL
TO WARM YOUR SOUL.

THANK YOU, JOSE.

I'LL HELP YOU
WITH THE DISHES, MISS HONEY.

THAT WOULD BE
MOST HELPFUL, THANK YOU.

ANGEL, BEFORE YOU LEAVE,

WOULD YOU MIND MAKING SURE

MISS ANNABELLE
GETS HOME SAFELY?

( chuckles )

YES, MA'AM.

Annabelle:
I'LL HELP CLEAN UP.

( indistinct chatter )

( clearing throat )

DID I EVER TELL YOU
THE STORY ABOUT LITTLE OWEN?

IT WAS 1972.

OWEN WAS
EIGHT YEARS OLD THEN.

HONEY AND I HAD LIVED
TOGETHER A FEW YEARS,

BUT LITTLE OWEN

WASN'T MUCH FOR HAVING ME
AROUND, IT SEEMED.

( sniffling )

THAT IS UNTIL WE GOT A...

DONKEY TO HELP IN THE FIELDS.

( chuckling and
clearing throat )

LITTLE OWEN

INSISTED WE CALL HIM JESUS,
NOT "HAY-SUS."

( all chuckling )

JESUS.

I TRIED
TALKING HIM OUT OF IT,

BUT HE WAS AS STUBBORN
AS THAT DONKEY.

AND IT FELT LIKE
THE FIRST TIME

WE MIGHT BOND
AROUND SOMETHING, SO...

WE LET HIM CALL HIM...

JESUS.

( chuckling )

WELL, ONE DAY,

JESUS WENT MISSING,

AND LITTLE OWEN
WAS DEVASTATED.

HE WASN'T GOING TO REST
UNTIL HE FOUND JESUS.

DOING EVERYTHING
HE COULD...

WALKING UP AND DOWN THE STREET,
CALLING THE GOOD LORD'S NAME,

STOPPING EVERY CAR
ALONG THE WAY,

ASKING IF THEY'VE
FOUND... JESUS.

LITTLE OWEN NEVER DID
FIND THAT DONKEY.

BUT, THROUGH IT ALL,

WE DID FIND EACH OTHER.

NO FATHER SHOULD EVER
LIVE TO BURY HIS SON.

AND I MISS MY BOY.

OH, I MISS HIM SO MUCH.

( sobbing quietly )

( insects chirping )

THE STARS ARE...
SO BRIGHT TONIGHT.

IT'S ONE GOOD THING ABOUT
LIVING IN THE COUNTRY, I GUESS.

THEY SAY IN THE CITY THE STARS
DON'T SHINE SO BRIGHTLY.

YOU KNOW, WHERE MY, UH,
WHERE MY FAMILY'S FROM, MEXICO,

THE PEOPLE BELIEVE
THAT THERE ONCE WAS A SKY

WITHOUT ANY STARS.

AND?

OH, UM, IT'S JUST
A MAYAN MYTH, YOU KNOW,

ABOUT THE MOON GODDESS,
IXCHEL,

WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH
THE SUN GOD, KINICH AHAU.

THE MOON GODDESS
WAS BEAUTIFUL,

ALMOST TOO BEAUTIFUL.

( giggles )

BUT THE SUN GOD,
HE BARELY NOTICED HER.

SO, UM, ONE DAY,

THE MOON GODDESS DECIDED
SHE'D MAKE A GIFT FOR HIM.

A TAPESTRY
SO LARGE THAT EVEN HE

WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO IGNORE IT.

AND WHEN THE SUN GOD SAW
THIS BEAUTIFUL TAPESTRY,

HE FELL MADLY IN LOVE
WITH HER.

AND THE TAPESTRY
THE MOON GODDESS WOVE

WERE THE VERY STARS
THEMSELVES.

COME ON, COME ON.

THERE WE-- OH, OH, OH.

OH, I JUST HAD IT.

OH, MAN.

- ( both giggling )
- COME ON.

GUH!

UHH!

WHAT, IS HE SIGNALING
THE MOTHER SHIP?

COME ON,
COME ON.

Annabelle:
WELL, HERE'S
WHERE I LIVE.

MAY I WALK YOU
TO YOUR DOOR?

UM... I DON'T THINK

THAT'S SUCH
A GOOD IDEA, UM--

ANNABELLE MORGAN!

YOU BETTER GET YOUR BUTT
IN THIS HOUSE RIGHT NOW!

- I GOTTA GO, UM--
- GET IN HERE!

- THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- I'M COMING, PAPA.

WHO'S THAT BOY?
I DON'T WANT YOU RUNNING
AROUND WITH PEOPLE LIKE THAT.

HE'S PROBABLY AN ILLEGAL.
WHERE'S MY MONEY, HUH?
WHERE IS IT?!

( shouting continues )

YOU THINK YOU'RE
BETTER THAN EVERYBODY!

DON'T YOU HIDE IN YOUR ROOM
WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU, GIRL!

- ( rooster crowing )
- ( Evie moans )

WHAT THE--
WHAT TIME IS IT, CHEZ?

TIME TO RUN.

COME ON, WE ALREADY
MISSED YESTERDAY.

( bluegrass music playing )

( sighing )

( sighing )

Pops:
OH, THERE YOU ARE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

EVIE, THIS MAY NOT
BE THE BEST TIME,

BUT WE NEED TO TALK.

( panting )

CHEZ, WHY DON'T YOU GO UP
AND TAKE A SHOWER FIRST?

I'LL BE UP IN
A FEW MINUTES.

OKAY, I'LL TRY TO SAVE YOU
SOME HOT WATER.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT?

OKAY.

WE NEED TO GO OVER
MR. LEE'S ESTATE.

IS THERE A PROBLEM?

IT'S ABOUT
THE FARM.

IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND OPENING
THESE, WE CAN GET STARTED.

THE LAND
AND THE TREE INVENTORY,

COUPLED WITH THE HOUSE,
BARN AND EQUIPMENT--

UH, TOTAL, IT'S
AROUND $8 MILLION.

REALLY?
I DIDN'T REALIZE
WE WERE THAT RICH.

THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE NOT.

THE GOVERNMENT LEVIES
A 40% ESTATE TAX

ON PROPERTY OVER
THE $5 MILLION EXEMPTION.

Adam:
SO IF YOU DO THE MATH,
YOU OWE TAXES

ON $3 MILLION,

- WHICH COMES
TO 1.2 MILLION.
- WHAT?

- UH, THEY CAN DO THAT?
- Pops: OH, YEAH.
( chuckles )

YOU'D BE SURPRISED
WHAT THEY CAN DO.

BUT HOW ARE WE GONNA
PAY FOR THAT?

MR. LEE DID HAVE A $1 MILLION
LIFE INSURANCE POLICY.

THE POLICY
CAN PAY THE TAXES

SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
TO SELL THE LAND.

WELL, YEAH,
BUT THAT'S 200 GRAND SHORT.

SO WHAT DOES
ALL THIS MEAN?

IT MEANS UNCLE SAM'S
REACHING INTO OUR POCKETS.

TO PAY HIM, WE HAVE TO
FINISH THE YEAR STRONG.

PROBLEM IS, WE'RE BARELY
MAKING PAYROLL AS IS.

YOU DO HAVE
A FEW OTHER OPTIONS.

YOU COULD SELL THE LAND
OR JUST THE BUSINESS.

THAT'S NOT
GONNA HAPPEN.

SORRY, I MEAN...

Pops:
NO, THE BOY'S RIGHT.

MY SON WOULDN'T
HAVE WANTED THAT.

WE'LL HAVE TO FIGURE
SOMETHING ELSE OUT.

WOW.

THERE IS ONE
OTHER THING.

- YEAH?
- YES?

AS THE ELDEST SIBLING,
EVIE LEE IS DESIGNATED

AS THE EXECUTOR
OF THE ESTATE.

Thomas: WHAT?

WHOA, HOLD ON.

SHE HAS CONTROL?

I CAN'T DO THAT.

SO IF SHE WANTED TO,
SAY, SELL THE FARM,

I WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY
NO SAY IN THE MATTER?

I HAVE TO GET BACK TO L.A.

SHE HASN'T EVEN
BEEN HERE IN YEARS!

- THOMAS, I DON'T--
- UNBELIEVABLE.

THOMAS, WAIT, IT--

BEST TO LET HIM BE
FOR A BIT.

BUT EVIE, PILOT SEASON
IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER,

AND I HAVE GOT
TO GET BACK TO L.A.

OH, PLEASE BE SOY.

CHEZ, THIS IS ALL COMING AT ME
KIND OF FAST, OKAY?

JUST SELL IT.

WHAT?

SELL IT, SELL THE FARM.
PROBLEM SOLVED.

WHAT?
WHAT ABOUT MY FAMILY?

I CAN'T JUST
SELL THEIR HOME.

AND WHY NOT, HM?

( cellphone jingling )

- HOW DO YOU--
- HELLO?

- Evie.
- BABETTE?

UM, YES.

- HOW DO YOU GET A SIGNAL?
- Where are you?

( whispering )
STOP THAT.

I need you back.

I had to order
my own coffee today.

AND THEY GAVE ME
THIS BLACK LIQUID STUFF,

AND IT TASTED HORRIBLE!

UH, OH, UM,
IN A FEW DAYS, I JUST--

Oh my God, they pushed up
our rehearsal schedule

at the Staples Center.

Some guy named "Michael Bubble"
whoever that is--

HEY, EVIE, LOOK,
MICROWAVEABLE CARDBOARD, HA!

This is a really tough time
for me right now,

and I wish they would

STOP BEING SO SELFISH
AND UNDERSTAND THAT.

UH, WILL DO--

( cellphone beeps )

HE-HELLO?

BABETTE?

BABETTE?
HMM.

( crashing )

WILL YOU WATCH
WHERE YOU'RE GOING?

EVIE?

EVIE LEE?

BECKY!

OH, I THOUGHT
THAT WAS YOU!

OH, YOU LOOK...
DIFFERENT.

YEAH.

HI, I'M BECKY TAMORA.

WALSH.

CHEZ WALSH.

HMM.

THE TAMORAS OWN THE FARM
DOWN THE STREET FROM US.

WELL, IT'S A LITTLE BIGGER
THAN A FARM THESE DAYS.

WE'RE THE SECOND LARGEST
CHRISTMAS TREE PRODUCER

THIS SIDE
OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME.

AREN'T YOU LIKE SOME
BIG L.A. ROCK STAR NOW?

- ( chuckling )
- HM, WHAT?

I--

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
BACK HOME?

OH, MY FATHER--

I AM SO SORRY
ABOUT THAT.

I'D... BEEN SPENDING
SOME TIME WITH HIM RECENTLY.

BUSINESS MATTERS.

I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED
TO MISS THE FUNERAL,

BUT I WAS OUT OF TOWN
ON BUSINESS.

I'M SURE YOU KNOW
HOW THAT IS.

MM.

SO... WHO'S
RUNNING THE FARM NOW?

- WELL, I AM...
- AH.

...FOR NOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT, WE...

SHOULD GET TOGETHER.

IT HAS BEEN
TOO LONG.

YEAH.

GIVE ME A CALL.

OKAY.

HM! SO GOOD
TO SEE YOU.

CALL ME.

BYE, BECKY.

- REALLY? GO.
- OH.

IS IT POSSIBLE
TO HAVE NEGATIVE BARS?

♪ Jingle all the way ♪

♪ Oh what fun
it is to ride ♪

♪ In a one-horse
open sleigh... ♪

AND WHY IS THERE GLUTEN
IN EVERYTHING HERE?

COULD YOU DIAL DOWN
THE WHINING A BIT, PLEASE?

AND FOR GOODNESS SAKES,
STOP USING THAT AWFUL
BODY WASH.

I AM THE FUTURE FACE OF
THE COMPANY. I GOTTA REPRESENT.

WHAT IS THIS?
I DIDN'T ORDER THIS.

- YOU CANNOT EAT THAT.
- STILL YOUR FAVORITE?

UNCLE JOE.

WELCOME HOME, EVIE.

OH, I AM SO SORRY
ABOUT YOUR DAD.

THE WHOLE TOWN
IS IN MOURNING.

THANKS, JOE.

WHAT, THESE RECORD PEOPLE
NOT FEEDING YOU OUT THERE?

( chuckling )

OKAY, HOLD UP,
WHAT RECORD PEOPLE?

HEY, ADAM,
LOOK WHO'S HERE?

ADAM.

HI, EVIE.

BUT I THOUGHT
YOU WERE A LAWYER.

NOT UNTIL I PASS THE BAR.

AH, HE GETS HIS
RESULTS ANY DAY NOW.

HE PROBABLY ACED IT.

WE'RE ALL VERY PROUD
OF THIS GUY.

WELL, I GOTTA GET
BACK TO MY COOKING.

DON'T LET THAT DESSERT
SPOIL YOUR MEAL.

( chuckling )
THANKS.

SO THE SPECIAL TODAY
IS A CHEESEBURGER

- WITH LETTUCE,
TOMATO AND ONION--
- Chez: NO THANKS.

UM, I'LL JUST HAVE
A SALAD.

OKAY, VINAIGRETTE DRESSING
ON THE SIDE, NO CROUTONS,

HOLD THE CHEESE,
AND A FRUIT CUP.

OH, AND I'D LIKE
THE FRUIT CUP FIRST.

UM, I'LL JUST HAVE
THE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP, PLEASE.

UH, EVIE...
THERE'S MEAT IN THAT.

Evie:
OH, RIGHT.

OKAY THEN...

JUST A GREEK SALAD, PLEASE.

- OKAY.
- Chez: AND THAT'LL
BE IT, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

SO, OKAY, WHAT IS THE DEAL
WITH THIS WHOLE

RECORD INTERNET THINGY?

OH, THAT, UM...

WHEN I WAS 18, I SAW A CONTEST
TO WIN A RECORDING CONTRACT,

SO, LONG STORY SHORT,

I POSTED A VIDEO ONLINE,
AND I WON.

OH.

NOTHING REALLY
CAME OUT OF IT, THOUGH,

SO IT'S REALLY NOT
THAT BIG OF A DEAL.

HUH! EVIE.

HMM?

I WAS THINKING
THAT, UM--

YEAH, BUT...

IT'S STUPID.

TELL ME.

WELL... I'D LOVE

( chuckles )

THE ART SCHOOL IN TOWN.

THAT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE.

I DO.

YOU KNOW, ANNABELLE...

ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHT...

OH, UM...
YEAH, MY DAD.

UM...

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

UH, YEAH,

AND I'LL GET STARTED
FINISHING THE SANDWICHES.

SO... WHAT DID
ANGEL SAY?

( giggles )

HIS LIFE IS SO INTERESTING.

I WISH I COULD
TRAVEL AS MUCH AS HIM.

HECK, I'VE ONLY BEEN
OUT OF THE COUNTY ONCE,

AND THAT WAS A SCHOOL TRIP
TO THE PLANETARIUM IN MURRAY.

GIRL, THAT'S ONLY THREE INCHES
OVER THE COUNTY LINE.

I KNOW.

( sighing )

I WOULD LOVE TO JUST--

WHAT IS THAT?

UH, IT'S NOTHING,
UM, I, UM...

I WAS CARRYING
SOMETHING HEAVY IS ALL.

IS THERE SOMETHING
YOU WANNA TELL ME?

I, UM...

I SHOULD BE
GETTING HOME.

( folk music playing )

YES.

SOME GOOD BASS IN THERE
THIS TIME OF YEAR.

( birds chirping )

YEAH, WELL,
I WOULDN'T KNOW.

I'M NOT CATCHING ANYTHING.

( reel cranking )

ME, POPS
AND A FEW OTHER GUYS

ARE GETTING TOGETHER
TO PLAY POKER TONIGHT.

NOTHING FANCY.

YOU INTERESTED?

YEAH.

YEAH, THAT'D--
THAT'D BE AWESOME.

MAYBE I'LL HAVE
BETTER LUCK AT CARDS.

( chuckles )

WHAT KIND OF BAIT
ARE YOU USING?

UH...

THE BASS OUT THERE
SEEM TO LIKE GUPPIES.

WHAT ARE GUPPIES?

GUPPIES?

UH, LITTLE FISH
YOU USE AS BAIT.

YOU TRYING TO TELL ME
YOU USE FISH TO CATCH FISH?

THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

I INVITED BRAD PITT
TO POKER NIGHT.

( keys jangling )

( sighs )

( engine starts )

( wind blowing )

( woman vocalizing )

THOUGHT
I'D FIND YOU HERE.

WHAT YOU WORKING ON?

A NEW SONG.

CAN I SEE IT?

PLEASE?

DID-- DID YOU
WRITE THESE?

THOMAS, THESE LYRICS
ARE REALLY GOOD.

THANKS... I GUESS.

LYRICS COME EASY.

IT'S JUST THE MUSIC
I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH.

MIND IF I TAKE
A STAB AT IT?

( chuckles )

EVIE, THIS IS FOLK MUSIC
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

YEAH.

YOU CAN'T JUST PICK UP
A GUITAR AND PLAY FOLK.

YOU HAVE TO FEEL IT.

YOU HAVE
TO BE FOLK.

SO, WHAT, I'M NOT
FOLK ANYMORE?

NO, YOU'RE NOT.

YEAH, WHAT IS IT EXACTLY
THAT I DID TO YOU?

- THOMAS, I DIDN'T ASK
FOR ANY OF THIS.
- EXACTLY, EVIE.

I'M THE ONE WHO STAYED
AND WORKED THE FARM.

AND YET, SOMEHOW, YOU STILL
GET CONTROL OF SOMETHING

THAT YOU NEVER WORKED,
YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT...

AND THAT YOU LEFT.

YOU LEFT ME...

AND YOU LEFT DAD.

AFTER MOM,
YOU THINK YOU'D KNOW

WHAT IT FELT LIKE
TO BE ABANDONED.

YOU KNOW,
WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND

IS WHY DON'T YOU
JUST PAY THE TAX?

OR IS THE FARM
NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY?

I CAN'T.

( wind whipping )

( crickets chirping )

( folk music playing )

ALL RIGHT, ALL-IN.

Pops:
MM... MM...

IT'S TOO RICH FOR ME.

AW, COME ON, POPS.

THAT OLD RIFLE YOU GOT
SHOULD BE ABLE TO COVER IT.

YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE
TRIED TO BUY THAT GUN OFF OF ME?

( chuckling )
NOT GONNA HAPPEN, JOE, NEVER.

IT'S WORTH A SHOT.

( laughing )

WILL YOU PLAY ALREADY?

AH, I GOT NOTHING.

( laughing )

I'M ALL IN.

YO TAMBIEN.

ALL RIGHT,
LET'S SEE 'EM, BOYS.

YOU'VE GOTTA
BE KIDDING ME.

FOUR OF A KIND.

OF COURSE.

I LIKE THIS GAME.

( laughing )

THANKS FOR INVITING ME.

YEAH... THANKS
FOR INVITING HIM, ADAM.

WELL, THAT'S
IT FOR ME.

TIME FOR THIS OLD MAN
TO GO TO BED.

YEAH, ME TOO. I GOT
NOTHING LEFT ANYWAY.

Chez:
WATCH AND LEARN,
MY FRIENDS.

OH, YEAH.

HOW?!

IT'S ALL
IN THE WRIST, BOYS.

THAT'S ALL I CAN HANDLE.

DON'T LET THIS GET
OUT OF HAND, SON.

SO, YOU READY TO PLAY
A REAL MAN'S GAME?

( dramatic music playing )

( grunting )

OHH!

YEAH!

WHAT'S THE SCORE?

MATCH POINT.

JUST SERVE IT.

WATCH ME.

( grunting )

- OH!
- YES!

ALL RIGHT, 22-22.

IT'S ON NOW.
YOU SERVE IT.

( grunting )

- AGH!
- YEAH, BABY.

MATCH POINT, ME.

( both grunting )

( yells )

( groaning )

OH!

I'M GOOD!
CHEZ'S OKAY.

( birds chirping )

( rooster crowing )

Chez:
EVIE-CAKES, COME ON.

- TIME TO GO.
- GO AWAY.

EVIE, MY BODY'S
MY CALLING CARD.

YOU KNOW I GOTTA
STAY IN SHAPE, NOW COME ON.

- COME ON, COME ON.
- UHH!

- COME ON.
- NO!

COME ON.

- STOP!
- OH.

IF YOU PULL THESE COVERS
OFF ME ONE MORE TIME,

I AM GOING
TO STRAP YOU DOWN

AND FORCE FEED YOU
HAMBURGER, CAPISCE?

NOW GO AWAY
AND LET ME SLEEP.

OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, YOU KNOW
I DON'T EAT QUICHE-- EGGS.

UH, SECOND, YOUR HAIR,
YOU REALLY MIGHT

WANT TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU--

GET OUT.
GET OUT.

- NOW! GET OUT!
- OH!

CHILL. OKAY.

( door closing )

( panting )
OH YEAH.

YES, YES, YES.

YES! YES!

AND THE CROWD GOES WILD.

AND THE CROWD
GOES WILD.

( mimics crowd roar )

WHEW... WHEW...

( panting )
OHH.

( donkey snorts )

HEY, LITTLE BUDDY,
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

HUH?

( loud braying )

OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.

( braying continues )

OKAY, OKAY... OKAY.

( braying continues )

( cows mooing )

( panting )

WE NEED TO LEAVE
THIS PLACE.

NOW.

DID YOU HEAR ME?

- HELLO?
- DON'T BE RIDICULOUS, CHEZ.

OH, COME ON.

I'VE BEEN CHASED
BY A CHICKEN,

A DWARF HORSE
JUST RAN AFTER ME

AND YESTERDAY,
I SAID "Y'ALL."

"Y'ALL" ISN'T EVEN
A WORD, EVIE.

- YES, IT IS.
- NO!

NO, IT'S NOT.

PLUS, THIS PLACE
IS CHANGING YOU.

IT IS, THIS--
THIS ROADKILL-EATING,

SECOND-COUSIN-MARRYING--

THIS OVEN IS--
WHAT IS THIS THING.

- SHH, SHH,
- WHAT--

SHH. EUGENE...

- ( gasps )
- ...QUIET.

WHAT?
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I AM...
GOING TO GET A LATTE.

OKAY, YOU WIN.

WE'LL DO KARAOKE TONIGHT,

AND THEN WE'LL LEAVE
IN THE MORNING.

- GOOD TALK.
- BUT-- WHAT?

( scoffs )

MM...
( sighs )

( grunts ) OKAY.

( engine sputtering )

( groaning )

( distant thunder )

( grunting )

( music playing on radio )

( horn toots )

WHERE ARE YOU GOING
IN SUCH A RUSH?

GETTING A LATTE.

HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, BUT
YOU'RE GONNA BE WALKING A WHILE.

CLOSEST THING TO STEAMED MILK'S
ABOUT THREE TOWNS OVER.

I KNOW HOW FAR IT IS.
I GREW UP HERE, TOO.

- ( music stops )
- OHH!

THAT'S RIGHT, I FORGOT.

YOU KNOW,
I THINK I CAN HELP.

YOU HELP ME?

OH, THAT'LL BE THE DAY.

HIGH SCHOOL
WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

WE'RE BOTH ADULTS NOW.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT

I HAVE
A BUSINESS TO RUN,

AND YOU ARE STUCK
WITH THIS FARM SITUATION.

SELLING IT TO ME WILL
HELP US BOTH OUT.

YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE,
YOU KNOW THAT?

WHA-- WHAT DO YOU
WANT WITH A LITTLE FARM

IN TINY BALSAM FALLS,
ANYWAY?

YOU LIVE IN LOS ANGELES.

I LIVE HERE.

I AM PREPARED
TO MAKE YOU A FAIR OFFER--

I CAN'T SELL, OKAY?

I'M NOT GONNA KICK MY FAMILY
OUT OF THEIR HOUSE.

I DON'T WANT YOUR HOUSE,
JUST YOUR LAND.

YOUR FAMILY WOULDN'T
HAVE TO MOVE AT ALL.

I'M OFFERING YOU A WAY OUT--

BACK TO YOUR LIFE,
YOUR DREAMS.

JUST BE REALISTIC.

YOU'RE IN WAY
OVER YOUR HEAD HERE.

JUST THINK ABOUT IT,
EVIE.

BRIDE, WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

SERIOUSLY?
EVERY TIME YOU BENT DOWN
TO TIE YOUR SHOE,

I WAS EXPECTING A PROPOSAL.
IT'S LIKE YOU HAD
EVERYTHING PLANNED,

AND I WAS JUST
A SPECTATOR.

AHEM, WOW.
WHO ARE YOU?

THIS IS NOT
THE EVIE I KNEW.

SHE WAS NICE
AND CONSIDERATE AND--

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU'RE RIGHT,
I'M A HORRIBLE PERSON.

I LEFT,
AND I BROKE HIS HEART.

- EVIE--
- AND THOMAS IS RIGHT.

I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS
LIKE TO BE ABANDONED.

I WAS DEVASTATED
WHEN MY MOM LEFT.

I FELT LIKE I HAD
TO PROVE I WAS WORTH
SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?

MAYBE THAT IF
I MADE IT BIG, SHE'D--

SHE MIGHT COME BACK.

YOUR MOM LEAVING HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

SHE WAS JUST SELFISH,
THAT'S ALL.

THEN AREN'T I?

I LEFT JUST LIKE SHE DID.

AND NOW MY DAD
IS GONE FOREVER.

AND I'LL NEVER BE
ABLE TO CHANGE THAT.

YOU ARE NOTHING
LIKE YOUR MOTHER.

YOU FOLLOWED YOUR DREAMS
WITH YOUR DAD'S BLESSING.

YOU HAVE A GREAT CAREER.

NO, I DON'T.
IT'S A LIE.

THE WHOLE THING'S A LIE.

I'M NOT SINGING.
I DON'T HAVE A RECORD
CONTRACT.

I'M NOT DOING
ANYTHING WITH MY LIFE.

WAIT. WHAT?

THE RECORD DEAL
WASN'T WHAT IT SEEMED,

AND THEN I GOT DROPPED
ALTOGETHER AND...

WHEN EVERYBODY HERE
KEPT ASSUMING,

I JUST NEVER
CORRECTED THEM.

THE REALITY IS, UM...

I LIVE IN A STUDIO APARTMENT
IN THE VALLEY

THAT I CAN BARELY AFFORD,
AND IF I'M NOT BACK SOON,

I'M GOING TO LOSE MY JOB
WAITING ON BABETTE

AND HER LITTLE MISFITS.

I REMEMBER WHAT

CHEZ, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- UM...
- WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!

- Evie: POP!
- WHOA, WHOA, DON'T SHOOT!

- DON'T SHOOT!
- PUT THE GUN DOWN.

IT'S OKAY.
IT'S JUST CHEZ.

POPS, JUST GO UPSTAIRS.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS.

CHEZ, WHAT'S GOING ON?
ARE YOU OKAY?

I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.

WELL...

DID YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME
WITH GARTH BROOKS TONIGHT?

OKAY, LOOK, I HAD
TO GET OUT OF THERE.
YOU WERE KARAOKING.

ADAM WAS THERE.
HE OFFERED TO DRIVE ME HOME.

- I DIDN'T THINK--
- WHATEVER, WHATEVER,
WHATEVER, WHATEVER!

- I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY.
- WHATEVER. HEY! WHATEVER.

- BUT NOTHING HAPPENED.
- HEY, SHH.

LISTEN.

WE-- YOU AND ME--

ARE LEAVING
IN THE MORNING.

YOU KNOW I CAN'T.

CAN'T OR WON'T?

LOOK, IT'S EITHER
ME OR THE FARM, EVIE.

THAT'S YOUR "ULTIMI-TATUM."

LOOK, MY PRIORITY RIGHT NOW
HAS TO BE THE FARM.

AFTER ALL THE MOMENTS
WE'VE SHARED, THIS--

THIS IS WHERE--
THIS IS WHERE WE ARE?

LOOK, LOOK,
IT'S JUST UNTIL--

NO, NO, NO--
I GET IT, I GET IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT? OKAY.
WHY DON'T WE JUST TALK
ABOUT THIS IN THE MORNING?

NO, BECAUSE THERE'S
NOT GONNA BE A MORNING.

( snickering )
YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY
DRUNK SO...

WELL, NOT TOO DRUNK TO SEE
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, THOUGH.

I'M LEAVING
IN THE MORNING,

WITH...
( belches )

...OR WITHOUT YOU.

( birds chirping )

( door opens )

Chez:
COME ON, POPS.

TOLD YOU I WAS SORRY.

CHEZ?

EVIE.

THIS MEAN
YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND?

NO, I DIDN'T.

LOOK, I'M SORRY.

I-I KNOW
I DRAGGED YOU HERE,

AND I DIDN'T EXPECT ALL
OF THIS TO HAPPEN, AND...

I GOT YOU CAUGHT IN
THE MIDDLE OF MY DRAMA.

AND I-- I'M REALLY,
TRULY SORRY.

( sighing )

OH, IT'S OKAY, EVIE.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER
DON'T ALWAYS FLOCK TOGETHER.

BESIDES, THIS IS--
IT'S BEEN GOOD FOR ME IN A...

WEIRD "LEGENDS OF THE FALL"
KIND OF WAY.

( chuckles )

SO FRIENDS, THEN?

FRIENDS.

- PHEW.
- AH.

- THAT BODY WASH--
- EW, I KNOW.

THAT STUFF'S STARTING TO
GIVE ME A REALLY WEIRD RASH.

( both laughing )

GO FOR CHEZ.

SWEETNESS.

YES, YES, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, I'LL BE THERE
TOMORROW. THANKS.

I GOT IT.

I ACTUALLY GOT IT.

THAT'S AMAZING.

YOU ARE LOOKING

RIGHT.
MISS YOU, BUDDY.

YOU'RE NOT

I'M NOT LEAVING,

( bell jingles )

I'VE SEEN THAT LOOK BEFORE.

AH, IT'S YOU.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

SO, HAS EVIE
SAID HER GOODBYES?

EXCUSE ME?

WELL, I THOUGHT
SINCE CHEZ LEFT,

AND SHE WAS GONNA
SELL THE FARM,

SHE'D BE GOING
BACK TO L.A. TOO.

SHE WOULD NEVER DO THAT.

WHY, THEN, DO I HAVE
THIS CONTRACT IN MY HAND

ALL READY TO BE SIGNED?

HUH-UH, ADAM.

YOU MAY BE A LAWYER,
BUT YOU'RE NOT MY LAWYER.

I'VE GOTTA GO SEE
THE LEES NOW.

YOU SHOULD STOP ON BY.

( bell jingles )

( tractor puttering )

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

YEAH, WE CALL IT
THE SECRET FIELD.

I WISH YOU DIDN'T

HI, POPS.

HEY, BUDDY.

HERE'S SOME APPLE CIDER.

- OH, THANK YOU.
- YEAH.

YEAH.

WHAT DOES SHE WANT NOW?

MY BOY ALREADY TOLD HER
WE'RE NOT SELLING.

DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT IT.
I'M GONNA GO TAKE CARE OF THIS.

( car door opens )

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

WHOA. SLOW DOWN.

LOOK, BASED ON OUR
LAST CONVERSATION,

I FIGURED
I'D WRITE UP AN OFFER,

SO YOU CAN MAKE
A MORE INFORMED DECISION.

THAT IS ALL.

( folk song playing
on radio )

FOR THE FINAL TIME,
I'M NOT SELLING, BECKY.

NOW GET OFF MY PROPERTY.

ALL RIGHT,
HAVE IT YOUR WAY,

BUT I ALWAYS
GET WHAT I WANT.

( tractor puttering )

Angel: EVIE!

COME ON.

EVIE!

GYPSY MOTHS...

IN THE SECRET FIELD.

( tires screeching )

( dog barking )

OH, NO.

Man: ANNABELLE!

ANNABELLE!
WHERE YOU BEEN?

GET YOUR BEHIND IN THIS CAR
RIGHT NOW, COME ON.

Evie:
STAY THERE, ANNABELLE.

IT'S OKAY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?

HUH?

LETTING HIS KIND
TOUCH YOU?

WHY, YOU LITTLE TRAMP, YOU.

( dog barking )

( gasps )

WHAT'S GOING ON?

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

NO DAUGHTER OF MINE IS GONNA
BE SEEN WITH AN ILLEGAL.

NOW YOU GET IN THIS CAR
RIGHT NOW, DO YOU HEAR ME?!

NO!

OH, COME ON, GO AHEAD,
DO IT, DO IT!

- NO, POPS.
- PULL THE TRIGGER.

YOU CRAZY OLD MAN, COME ON!
YOU THINK I CARE?

- POPS, POPS.
- BACK OFF.

COME ON.

NOW, JACOB MORGAN,
YOU CALM DOWN!

HEH.

( chuckles )
HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME.

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT.

GIVING HER IDEAS.

Honey: JACOB...

( laughing )

YOU NEED TO LEAVE.

GET IN THE CAR.

POP...

I'M TELLING YOU,
IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE.

NO, SHE STAYS HERE.

SO IF YOU KNOW
WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU,

YOU'LL JUST
BE GOING ALONG.

( cocks rifle )

NEVER... YOU HEAR ME?

DON'T YOU EVER
THINK ABOUT COMING BACK.

( car door opens, closes )

( car starting )

( tires screeching )

IT'S GONNA
BE ALL RIGHT.

ARE YOU OKAY?

GYPSY MOTHS
IN THE SECRET FIELD.

- ( piano music playing )
- ( fire crackling )

Pops:
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

- HMM.
- POPS, YOU KNOW
I'D SAVE THE FARM

IF I HAD THE MONEY.

I KNOW YOU WOULD.

BECKY EVEN OFFERED
FOR US TO KEEP THE HOUSE

IN EXCHANGE
FOR THE LAND.

I MEAN, SHE TRIED.

AND MAYBE IN MY--
MY LOWEST HOUR,

I MIGHT HAVE
CONSIDERED IT,

BUT I'M NOT
GOING TO SELL.

I BROUGHT YOU
SOMETHING.

WHAT IS IT?

DID YOUR FATHER
EVER TELL YOU

ABOUT THE TIME
HE LIVED IN CHICAGO?

I KNEW HE LIVED THERE,
BUT I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

IT WAS A FEW YEARS
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.

HE HAD, UH,
BIG DREAMS IN ADVERTISING.

THOUGHT HE WANTED
THE BIG CITY LIFE.

( chuckles )

HE WAS SUCCESSFUL, TOO.

THEN ONE DAY,
HE UP AND LEFT.

SAID HE WANTED A FAMILY,
SIMPLE, FULFILLING LIFE.

HE CALLED THE CITY
A "MIRAGE."

( both chuckling )

SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT.

SAID HE WANTED
TO PUT HIS SWEAT
AND LOVE INTO SOMETHING

AND BE ABLE TO PASS IT
ALONG TO HIS CHILDREN.

( clears throat )

SO YOU SEE,
YOU AND THOMAS

ARE HIS LEGACY.

NOT THIS FARM.

GET SOME SLEEP.

WE HAVE A LONG DAY
AHEAD OF US.

POPS, I DON'T WANT YOU
WORRYING ABOUT THE FARM, OKAY?

EVIE, I MAY NOT MOVE
AS QUICKLY THESE DAYS,

BUT THERE'S STILL
FIGHT IN ME YET.

( both chuckling )

I LOVE YOU, POPS.

( crickets chirping )

( birds chirping )

( man vocalizing )

- ( sighs )
- ( woman vocalizing )

WELL, IT'S WORSE
THAN I IMAGINED.

SO WHAT DOES
THIS ALL MEAN?

WELL, THE MOTHS THEMSELVES
AREN'T THE PROBLEM,

IT'S THE EGGS--
WHEN THEY HATCH,

THE CATERPILLARS
FEED ON THE NEEDLES.

WHICH CAN KILL A TREE.

IF THE OUTBREAK'S BAD ENOUGH,
THE ENTIRE FIELD.

IF THE INSPECTOR
SHOWS UP,

SEES IT'S AS BAD
AS IT IS NOW,

THEY CAN QUARANTINE US.

WE CAN'T SHIP TREES OUT OF STATE
THAT HAVE BEEN INFECTED.

THE FARM NEEDS THE SHIPMENTS
TO GO IF WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT.

OKAY, WELL, LET'S QUIT
THIS TALK ABOUT FAILURE.

WHAT CAN WE DO?

WE CAN SCRAPE.

THE BOY'S RIGHT.
THAT'S ABOUT OUR ONLY CHANCE.

WELL, LET'S GET STARTED.

( phones ringing )

GET ME THE DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE.

HMM.

( dramatic music playing )

( knocking on door )

BE RIGHT THERE.

( knocking continues )

( doorbell chiming )

JEEZ, HOLD YOUR HORSES.

( door creaks )

- WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
- HELLO, MA'AM,

I'M WITH THE TENNESSEE
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

CAN I SPEAK TO THE OWNER?

YOU EAT YET?

OH, MA'AM,
I DON'T WANNA BE RUDE,

BUT I AM
ON A TIGHT SCHEDULE.

OH, OF COURSE
YOU ARE, UM...

I'M JUST GONNA RUN
DOWN TO THE PANTRY,

AND GET SOME FRESH COFFEE,
SO YOU JUST...

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.

YES, MA'AM.

ALL RIGHT.

( clearing throat )

( "Dance of the Sugar Plum
Fairy" playing )

( sighs )

Honey: EVIE!

EVIE!

- HONEY!
- EVIE!

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHEW! HE'S HERE.

- HE'S HERE!
- HONEY.

- WHEW!
- HONEY, WHO'S HERE?

GET YOUR BEHIND
BACK TO THE HOUSE.

THE INSPECTOR IS HERE.

OH, GOD.
OKAY, UM, ALL RIGHT.

HURRY, HURRY, HURRY.
GO ON.

- HELLO, MA'AM.
- HEY, HOW ARE YOU? WHA--

- ARE YOU THE OWNER?
- YES.

YES, I AM.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

UH, WE'VE RECEIVED
A REPORT

OF GYPSY MOTH SWARMS
IN THE AREA.

HMM.

YOU NOTICE ANYTHING
OF THOSE SORTS?

UH...

DO YOU MIND
IF I TAKE A LOOK?

( bird chirping )

THIS LOOKS OKAY.

THIS IS OKAY.

UH, YOU SEE THIS HERE?

THIS IS NOT GOOD.

HOW BAD IS IT?

WELL, UNTIL I INSPECT
MORE OF THE TREES

AND MORE OF THE FIELDS,
I'M-- I'M NOT GONNA KNOW.

WELL,
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT

WE'RE ONLY GONNA HAVE
TO QUARANTINE THE ONE FIELD.

THE REST SEEM FINE.

MS. LEE, I NEED YOU
TO SIGN RIGHT THERE,

IF YOU WILL.

- HERE?
- YEAH.

OKAY.
( sniffling )

I'M SORRY.

IT'S NOT YOU.

- OH, THANK YOU.
- ( Evie sobbing )

THIS DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.

I'M SURPRISED YOU
HAVEN'T THREATENED

- TO SHOOT HIM
WITH YOUR GUN.
- ( chuckling )

HE'S JUST A MAN TRYING
TO EARN AN HONEST LIVING,

LIKE THE REST OF US.

HMM.

AND WHAT ELSE
CAN I GET FOR YOU FOLKS?

( indistinct chatter )

Man:
ORDER'S UP!

Man:
TWO EGGS OVER EASY.

HASH BROWNS,
TOAST...

COFFEE?

GOT ANYTHING STRONGER?

OH, THAT KIND
OF MORNING?

YOU COULD SAY THAT.

I JUST GOT A CALL
ABOUT GYPSY MOTHS.

I THINK I JUST LOST THE FARM
FOR THAT YOUNG LADY.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN
MARRIED 25 YEARS,

AND I'VE NEVER SEEN
A WOMAN CRY LIKE THAT.

JOE, WE GOT A PROBLEM.

IF YOUR PROJECTIONS
ARE ACCURATE,

I THINK
WE CAN DO BUSINESS.

MY NEW ACQUISITION WILL BE
CLOSING VERY SHORTLY AND--

Woman:
WAIT YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE!

ARE YOU BEHIND THIS?

( chuckling )
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Man: IS THERE SOME
SORT OF PROBLEM?

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

IS THERE NOTHING
OFF-LIMITS FOR YOU?

IS THERE ANYTHING--
ANYTHING AT ALL--

THAT YOU HOLD SACRED?
THE LEES ARE A GREAT FAMILY.

AND YOU, TRYING TO PROFIT
FROM THEIR LOSSES.

I'M GONNA HAVE
TO READ THIS THROUGH.

SOMEONE NEEDS
TO STAND UP TO YOU.

YOU THINK THIS
WHOLE TOWN'S FOR SALE,

AND YOU CAN JUST BUY EVERYONE
AND EVERYTHING IN IT?

WELL, NOT THIS TIME, BECKY.
I'M NOT GONNA STAND BY
AND LET THAT HAPPEN.

( sighs )

( piano playing
"I Wonder as I Wander" )

( children laughing )

SO HOW BAD IS IT?

( chuckles )

WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

YOU KNOW,

I HAD EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL
BEFORE YOU CAME HOME.

( both chuckling )

WELL, IN THAT CASE,
I WILL BE

ON THE FIRST PLANE
BACK TO L.A. TOMORROW.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

I WOULDN'T BLAME YOU.

NOT IF YOU PAID ME
$1 MILLION.

TELL ME WHAT
YOU NEED ME TO DO.

OH, HEY, POPS,
I WAS THINKING WE WOULD

- TALK TO THE I.R.S. ABOUT--
- THIS IS FOR YOU.

WHAT IS THIS?

( chuckles )

- OH, NO, POPS,
TELL ME YOU DIDN'T.
- THERE'S THIS GUY IN CHICAGO

WHO'S BEEN INTERESTED
IN IT FOR A WHILE AND...

COULDN'T GO ANY HIGHER,
BUT I FIGURED EVERY BIT HELPS.

BUT THE GUN'S BEEN
IN THE FAMILY FOR SO LONG.

( chuckles )

FAMILY,
THAT'S WHAT MATTERS.

NOT SOME RUSTY OLD GUN.

THANK YOU, POPS.

( dog barking )

OKAY, ENOUGH OF THAT.

BETTER GO SEE
WHAT HE'S INTO NOW.

( laughing )
OKAY.

( barking continues )

Thomas:
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

I'M COMING!
I'M COMING!

OKAY, UM...

LET'S SEE,
WITH POP'S CHECK...

Pops:
WELL, I'LL BE...

- ( donkey braying )
- ( barking continues )

WHAT IS HE--

( barking )

( donkey braying )

OH MY GOODNESS.

- Evie: OH MY, IS THAT...
- Pops: JESUS?

HEAR YOU SELL
CHRISTMAS TREES HERE?

HOW MUCH?

IT DEPENDS ON THE KIND.

WHAT'S THE BEST KIND?

LOCALLY GROWN.

I'LL TAKE 20, THEN.

ADAM, THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH.

LOOK...
THE OTHER NIGHT,

I TOLD YOU I'D NEVER
STOPPED BELIEVING IN YOU.

AND I'D LIKE
A CHANCE TO PROVE IT.

HOW ABOUT DINNER?

I WOULD LIKE THAT A LOT.

OKAY.

YOU KNOW...

ONCE, A STORM
CAME THROUGH HERE,

BIG STORM.

YOUR DAD WAS THE FIRST ONE
OUT AT MY PLACE

CUTTING TIMBER
AND PUTTING THE ROOF BACK ON.

WASN'T A DAY WENT BY,
HE WASN'T OUT LOOKING

FOR SOMEBODY TO HELP.

HERE'S 1,000 BUCKS.

GO PLANT HIM SOME TREES.

JOE...

THANK YOU.

( tearful laugh )

( giggling )
THANK YOU.

HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.

WE, UH, BROUGHT
A FEW FRIENDS.

( Evie gasping )

OH. OH MY...

( laughing )

AND, UH, YOU KNOW,
IF YOU GO DOWN THIS PATH,
THERE'S NO GOING BACK.

YES, I UNDERSTAND.

I'M JUST TIRED
OF BEING AFRAID.

THE JUDGE HAS AGREED,
AT HONEY AND POP'S INSISTENCE,

TO GRANT TEMPORARY
GUARDIANSHIP TO THEM

UNTIL YOU COME OF AGE.

YOU WOULD DO
THAT FOR ME?

WE ALREADY THINK OF YOU
AS PART OF OUR FAMILY.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY, AND--

WELCOME
TO THE FAMILY.
