Goin' South Page #3

It was my father's.

Did he believe in this gold mine?

He believed, but not enough.

Sounds like he was the

brains in the family.

Boiled chicken?

Boiled is better for you.

How's about a little dessert?

I said, how's about a little dessert?

- I heard you the first time.

- You didn't answer me the first time.

Can I ask you a personal question?

When was the last time you had a man?

I hope you don't mind confined

spaces, tomorrow we start tunnelling.

Goddamn, I should've known.

You can always tell a virgin because

the whites of the eyes ain't clear.

I got this theory on

virgins, that they...

...always look peaked and grouchy

because they're going against nature.

I don't want to get calluses

patting myself on the back, but...

...in my time I have put a

gal or two in tune with nature.

I'm sure nature is very grateful.

Listen to me.

Don't let starting

late bother you none.

Some of them late bloomers is...

I'll be outside in the barn if

you feel like getting acquainted,

or talking about tunnelling.

And remember, nature

is the great provider.

Goddamn.

Well, good morning, Spot.

Could use some bacon...

Morning, miss. What's for breakfast?

Conserve your energy.

There's a lot of work to do.

Don't you worry about me,

I know how to pace myself.

If I want to...

...I can do this all day long.

I'm talking about all day long.

Pace myself.

Where are you going?

I wanna...

...take a little Spanish pause.

That's one of the keys

to pacing yourself.

You just go on trimming your wicks.

I can do this all day long.

I'm talking about all day long.

All day long.

Hey, lady!

Understand?

She sure is full of piss

and vinegar today, ain't she?

A lot of literature on Philadelphia.

What's the fascination with

the city of motherly love?

Brotherly.

I'm moving there.

- To Philadelphia?

- Just as soon as I strike gold.

I like it down there in Mexico.

Pace suits me better.

Slow days and fast nights.

What a pleasant surprise.

We saw lights and felt

we weren't intruding.

Oh, Laurette, you're never intruding.

You all remember my husband, Henry.

Welcome to our humble abode.

We brought a little wedding something.

Oh, you shouldn't have.

How pretty.

We was just saying how

much we needed a figurine.

- I'll get us some tea.

- Shall I help?

We'll help.

Don't be long now.

We felt you'd be needing someone

to talk to. Especially now.

What Laurette is trying to say

is that we all have so

much in common these days.

We do?

We're all ordinance brides.

Oh.

Since you've never

been married before,

we all thought we should

have a little chat.

Do you prefer orange

pekoe or lapsang oolong?

You see, a husband has certain rights.
