still doing here, then?

Good question, Liam.

Are... are you going for a walk?

Hey, Mae, you know youre not

supposed to leave the grounds!

What are you gonna do,

tell on me?

Hey, Mae, where are you going?

Every family has

its own legacy.

Good or bad,

we inherit it all.

From allergies,

to bad eyesight,

big noses, to cancer,

which is what I got.

Not the big nose,

but the cancer.

I would have preferred a big nose,

or a weak heart,

or a humped back.

But my father didn't

have any of those, either.

In each generation, going right back,

from prostate to bowel,

throat to brain tumor,

we've had every

flavor of cancer there is.

Mine was in my intestines.

So I decided it was okay to keep smoking.

Sh*t!

Hello! Is someone there?

Thanks.

I'm not contagious, you know.

Don't let the clothes fool you.

I'll go as soon

as the rain stops.

You'll never even

know I was here.

Can you pass my bra?

These are by P which is Greek to me.

I'm Mae, by the way.

West.

Mae...

Mae West?

O'Mara.

My mother named

me after the film star.

What's your name?

James.

Just James?

Did you make these, James?

You're a real chatterbox,

you know that?

It's my music.

You want to listen?

I'll trade you.

This is spectacular.

Is it duck?

Is it duck?

It's... pheasant.

And squirrel.

Did you like it?

Of course you did,

it's Motown.

Of course... Motown.

I don't think it's a place.

It's a record label,

from the '60s.

Diana Ross and the Supremes...

Motown!

My dad used to play it.

So, what happened out here?

It looks like a

nuclear bomb went off.

It's been like that for a while.

Must be something

wrong with the soil.

So, what's the

story with you, James?

Are you some kind of

woodsman or something?

How long have you lived here?

A few years.

And you like it?

I've never eaten an owl before.

There's owl in this, too.

How many other, cute, little

animals am I eating here?

Well...

Thanks for breakfast.

Is there anywhere

I can wash?

You head that way,

until you reach the stream,

and then you follow it

to the river.

Well...

Goodbye, then.

Thank you for the food...

and everything.

You're welcome.

Thought you might

need that for the swim.

Thanks.

It's beautiful.

I haven't been swimming in ages.

- You probably go all the time.

- No.

Why not?

I never learned how.

You can't swim?

Well, it's easy.

I could teach you!

You shouldn't stare.

I had a cesarean section.

What's that?

It's when you have a baby.

You had a baby?

You're very gullible, James!

I have a tumor in there.

Is it bad?

If you like being alive...

yes... bad.

They cut me open a couple

of times to dig it out.

So it's gone.

They got some of it...
