song all the way through.

- Sorry.

- [Murray] It's my turn up front.

- [Faye] It is not!

- [Murray] Is too!

- Now, now, don't you two start.

- [Murray] It is too.

- [Frances] Murray, sit down.

- [Faye] You stink bug.

- Is too.

- Is not.

- [Frances] Pipe down!

Shayne, how'd you like to take the wheel?

- Sure.

- Scoot over here.

Thanks.

- Hey! How about that place?

It looks like a nice place.

- Nope.

- Why not?

- It ain't the right place.

- [Shayne] Well then,

what is the right place?

- [Frances] I'll know it when I see it.

See...

We'll be driving down this road,

and there's gonna be trees on either side.

And we'll go around the curve,

and there it'll be,

a perfect little town.

Then a little further

on will be our house.

Everything will be

buttoned up and beautiful.

(Lynn coughing)

Lynn? Oh, honey.

Are you all right?

Give her some kool-aid.

- Murray did it, Murray did it.

Don't spit in it.

- Shut up, you little fink.

Cut it out. You cut it out!

(children giggling, teasing)

- [Annie] See it?

Look at that house.

- [Craig] Yeah.

- [Shayne] Mama said we were gonna find us

a house this time, not an apartment,

but a real house, all our own.

We saw lots of possibilities.

- [Faye] Out there. See?

- [Annie] Yeah.

- [Lynn] See that deer?

- Look at that. Oh,

look at all that space right there.

Perfect for our house.

- [Annie] I want a pony. Look!

- [Shayne] But since we were dead broke,

one question kept nagging at me.

Even if we did find our dream house,

what could we buy it with?

- [Faye] I wish we lived there.

Hurry up, Murray.

(children playing)

- I can patch your radiator here,

but your water pump's gone, it's shut.

These belts look like they're

about ready to give way.

There's maybe one tire in the whole bunch

that'll see you more than

100 yards down the road.

- Will this cover it?

- Oh, ma'am, your wedding ring?

I don't want to take your wedding ring.

- Don't worry about it.

Goddamn vagabond, Irish

Catholic son of a b*tch.

Never gave me anything but grief and kids.

I'm not sentimental about it.

So is it worth enough

to keep my car going?

- Lady, this car's worth

more dead than alive.

But I'll do the best I can.

- [Shayne] Everyday, for

breakfast, lunch, and dinner,

we ate egg salad sandwiches.

I haven't eaten one since, ever.

(soft, brooding piano music)

We drove through three

states, one after another.

By the time we reached Idaho,

we'd reached our limits,

physically, mentally, and mechanically.

(kids arguing)

(tires screech)

(Annie and Craig arguing)

- [Murray] Shut up!

- [Shayne] Shut up!

- [Faye] There, I broke one of--

- Can it?

- What is it?
