It's... I can fix this.

I can fix this.

You just go get

a tin can.

Anyway, like I was saying,

this housewife...

What housewife?

I thought I told you to get rid

of them fireworks?

- You like working here, Charlie?

- Yes, sir.

I've been waiting

on that carburetor.

You've got to try and concentrate

on what you're doing, okay?

- I'm gonna.

- I got a lot to do today,

so try to keep up.

- Dad, I asked if he could...

- Give me those.

These are not toys.

I want to try to get this thing

fired up before dark.

Now what?

Sorry, Charlie.

That don't feel right.

- Hi, Daddy.

- Hey, girl.

Daddy, this is Steve Elliot.

I asked him to stay for dinner.

I hope it's okay.

Mom said it was okay.

- Nice to meet you, Mr. Brown.

- Expensive little toy.

Steve's dad just gave it

to him for his birthday.

It's the greatest,

isn't it?

Don't look like you're going

to haul much hay in it.

No...

Let me... let me

just test it out.

Careful, Charlie.

Charlie.

Bradley Brown,

I'm going to kill you.

You get back here!

Brad, I'm going

to kill you!

Come here,

you little snot.

- April!

- He shot me with a slingshot!

- I did not!

- Liar!

- April!

- Liar!

Hold it, hold it!

Boy, did you shoot your sister

with that slingshot?

I think I'll stand

on the fifth amendment.

This is not a democracy.

Did you or didn't you?

Yeah, I guess I did.

You know better

than that, boy.

Go to your room.

- And no supper.

- Oh, Jay.

Helen.

At least you like me.

She's all set to go,

Mr. Brown.

Okay, Charlie.

See you in the morning.

This is a great meal,

Mrs. Brown.

Really, one of the best

I've ever had.

Thanks.

Thank you, Steve.

- Well, we should get going.

- What?

You promised you'd take me

for a ride, remember?

I did?

right.

Hon, I kinda figured

you'd watch me bowl tonight.

We're defending

the championship, you know.

- Oh, we're...

- Maybe we'll come by later.

Don't suppose anybody would like

some dessert before they leave?

- No thanks, Mom.

- It was very good.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

- Helen?

Have you... you know,

talked to her

about the way

things are?

Years ago.

Years?

I thought you were

going to let me drive?

Okay. Be careful.

What do I want

to see an old barn for?

Come on.

It's romantic.

April...

You want your car keys back,

don't you?

Come on, Steve.

Want your keys?

Come on!

I'm allergic.

Just a minute!

Come in.

You can thank your mama

for fixing you a plate.

Where's that slingshot?

Brad, why are you always

fighting with your sister?

How come you and Mom

always take her side?

I mean, I didn't even

do nothing!

Boy, you shot her

with a slingshot.

Right.

Anyway, I'm confiscating
