Beyond the Forest Page #2

So long, Lou!

Bacon and fried potatoes

all right for supper?

And some trout?

And coffee, good and strong!

A fat lot of good that did you.

I don't like porcies,

they irritate me.

You don't like life!

Life in Loyalton is like sitting

in a funeral parlor

and waiting for the

funeral to begin.

No, not sitting.

Lying in a coffin...

and waiting for them

to carry you out!

You've had a drink?

Just one.

Found a bottle that I

thought I'd finished.

You know how it is with you.

One drink leads to another.

Besides, you've got a

lady in your care.

Meaning you?

Meaning me.

You're something for

the birds, Rosa.

Something for the birds!

I remember the look in her eye.

She was standing on the porch when

I went out through the gate.

Who are you trying to forget?

I'll tell you when I've forgotten!

All you shackers get cracked.

What did you do that

made you run away?

Kill a man?

No! No, I didn't kill anybody.

I left them alone.

Absolutely alone.

I could have made something of all

our lives. I could have saved mine.

Words can't explain.

Words are just sounds.

Sounds are not what I feel.

Moose?

You in here?

How did you know I was coming?

Sending a telegram

to Moose isn't exactly

the best way of keeping a secret...

in a small town.

How'd you get here?

It started on a fishing trip

with the Doctor and Moose...

sent the Doctor back to town

on an emergency call...

And Moose?

Well, Moose had kind

of an emergency too.

A bottle of whiskey just happened

to be in my knapsack...

and Moose just happened to find it!

You're terrific!

You said that the first time, too.

Mind if I ask a few questions?

How do you sign those big

fat checks you make out?

"Neil K. Latimer".

Oh? You can write then?

What are you getting at?

When you told me you stopped

going to school when you were 9...

I thought maybe you'd never learned.

That's the excuse I made to myself

for those letters I didn't get!

Anything I had to say to you,

I wouldn't put on paper!

Say it now.

I don't need words!

Get up.

Mrs. West!

You've got another fine boy, Sorren.

Better go get some coffee.

You've been up all night.

It's funny. No matter

how often this happens,

and I got a house full of kids...

it's always a big moment.

You know, I was wishing the

little guy dead an hour ago.

Now that everything's all right...

everything is all right, isn't it?

Well...she had a bad time.

She needs blood plasma.

That costs money.

If there's any work you need

done over at your place...

like painting or cutting wood,

I can come Sundays...

We'll talk about that

some other time.

Better go get some breakfast.

Go ahead.

You tried to take the baby,

didn't you?
