In sickness and in health,

till death do you part.

I do.

And do you, Anney, take this man

to be your lawful wedded husband...

To have and to hold, for richer or

poorer, in sickness and in health...

Till death do you part.

I do.

I now pronounce you husband and wife,

you may kiss the bride.

- Hey, Bone, who's your new daddy?

- You are.

- And who's the best daddy in the world?

- You are!

You've got that right.

You want to go again?

You're flying!

Honey-girl? Sweet thing,

take a picture of me and Bone.

Bone and her daddy. He's going

to be a new daddy really soon.

Really sorry about that, Lyle

- You're running late.

- You're telling me.

I've got my pickup here

if you need any help.

We're OK.

He wasn't doing nothing wrong,

just came along after it'd rained.

The Devil's rain.

Yea, though I walk through

the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil:

For thou art with me; thy rod

and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me

in the presence of mine enemies:

thou anointest my head with oil;

my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and loving kindness

shall follow me all the days of my life;

And I shall dwell in the house

of Jehovah for ever. Amen.

Come on.

My Lyle worked two damn jobs

for you, Anney Boatwright.

He wouldn't have died in the road

like that if it hadn't been for you.

How dare you?

Trying to keep you people up.

You hold your tongue, woman.

God's got his eye on you.

You've got no right to judge us,

no right at all.

Nothing else will ever hit you

this hard.

Now you look like a Boatwright,

now you've got the look.

You're as old

as you're ever going get, girl.

This is the way you'll look

till the day you die.

I tell you what, it wouldn't be

nothing for me to go over there

and teach those people a little

something about manners and respect.

Earle, you can't solve everything

with a shotgun. My Lord.

I was thinking more along the lines

of a two-by-four.

Settle yourself, Earle. Nobody's going

over there and that's that.

Since when did you start telling me

what I can and can't do, Raylene?

Anney will stay here with Mama

as long as she needs to.

We take care of our own,

like we always have.

This here's our Daddy, practically

every day we'd go on a picnic

and he'd throw me all over the field.

That's not your Daddy, Bone.

Your Daddy got run out of town.

Uncle Earle nearly killed him.

...like ??? the n*gger.

You listen up, Garvey.

I'm going to tell you something

I've been keeping from you...

because the grown-ups

don't want you to know about it.

Because it might scare you.

When you and Grey were just as big

as Reese, sleeping in your cribs...
