Mine's different.

Come on out, now.

The man won't chase you.

Come on. It's all right. Honest.

Kid sisters and little brother

ain't used to people yet.

They never been out of Dark County before.

Come on.

Shake your tails!

The man's waiting on you.

Hurry up! He can't wait all day.

They look a little dusty, don't they?

We're in business together.

I pop them, she plucks them,

she picks them, and she pulls them.

Who is he?

Little Jake? He's my bird dog.

Jake, stop your sniffing.

What you got a sleeve for?

Here you are, mister. Look it over.

Lift up its wings.

No buckshot in that bird,

just one little tiny hole in its head.

Mighty pretty shooting.

It's mighty pretty eating, too.

For every one you take, you've got to

give me two nickels and a dime.

All right. I'll take two dozen.

How many is that?

Twenty-four.

Who do we know can count up to 24?

I can count up to 20.

Are you sure?

I can only give you 20.

All right. Leave the bill with them.

-What's a bill?

-A bill's a voucher.

Don't you keep books?

Don't any of you read or write?

We don't read as good as everybody.

We don't read as good as anybody.
