You call the fire department

when someone lights a cigarette?

They only send one idiot at a time.

It'll take months

before some new guy can do squat.

So keep it business as usual

and keep him away from it.

Jesus, boy! The Marines haven't landed.

I got things to do.

See, I know exactly

what my daddy wants.

Business as usual.

So I don't want to see him

on my street or in my church.

- Come over here!

- Mama!

Hi.

Hi, how are you doing?

You know better than that.

Hello.

- How are you doing?

- I'm good.

Look, I only sold six jars...

...of your honey this week.

Want to put that against your groceries?

Yes, please.

Thank you.

Bye, now.

You take care.

How do you do?

Can I help you?

I was thinking I might

like to have all these items here.

I also think I might like

to have all that honey.

Yes, sir.

All of it.

Let me ask you something.

What are you going to do

with all this honey?

It's about five miles to home.

It's not a bad walk

if the day is nice.

What's this...

...smoke in the mountains?

That coal's been burning in that

mountain for 12 years now.

Does it ever concern anybody...

...that the earth's on fire underground?

No matter how strange something is...

...if you give it enough time,

it becomes normal.

No more questions.

Come on in.

Thanks for the lift.

I've been thinking about my porch.

Would you still consider fixing it?

What made you change your mind?

It broke this morning.

I'll be there.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Have a nice day, ma'am.

You too.

There's a singing contest

at the street fair Saturday.

Patsy and I are gonna sing.

Come out and vote for us.

What do I get?

My sister.

- All right!

- Okay. Deal.

We heard you're helping Sarah.

That's nice of you,

after what she did to her dad.

We shouldn't talk about that.

She's just another one

of God's children.

- How you doing, sir?

- Morning.

You should hear these small-town

girls, the way they gossip.

They sing good too.

How about that porch?

Lord, I just got over the flu.

Let me think about it.

About what?

Think about how you guys

wrecked your truck. Think about that.

Oh, Lord!

A lot of folks don't appreciate

a fellow like you coming here...

...sticking his nose

where it don't belong.

You need to be careful,

slinking around here.

Somebody may think

you're an animal and shoot.

You understand what he's saying?

- Somebody gonna get hurt.

- You mean someone might get hurt?

You could be an English teacher except

you don't understand plain English.

Get out.

"Get out."

That's pretty plain English.

Believe it or not, people here like me.

They'd like me to stick around.

I've decided to stick around a while.
