(male #1)

'Hey, Thrush.'

Thrush.

[whistles]

'Thrush! Let's go get

that Lolly Madonna.'

Come on.

[birds chirping]

[door creaks]

Hawk, will you hush

your squawkin'?

You always got your tail

feathers in an uproar.

Why don't you let a hard-working

man get some sleep?

- Hold on you got a little...

- Get out of here!

[laughing]

Let's go out.

Good thing

we found her postcard.

Ludie Gutshall ain't gettin'

married, no way.

(Thrush)

'Who's watching the still.'

Hell, we ain't gonna

be gone long.

(Hawk)

'What that Lolly Madonna looks like?'

'She's probably got a wart.'

[laughing]

[engine revving]

[birds chirping]

[engine revving]

- It's Hawk and Thrush.

- They bought it.

Let's go. Son of a b*tch.

He fell for it.

[laughing]

[panting]

Come on, Ludie.

Whoo! Look out, now,

we gonna get our hogs back.

Yee-haw!

[engine revving]

[music over radio]

Wait over there across the road.

Red Barn comes

by every 30 minutes.

Thank you.

(Roonie)

My name is Roonie Gill.

I was just changing buses

on my way to Nashville.

Actually, I didn't

care much where I was going.

It just felt good to be

on my own for the first time.

I never heard of

the Feather family

or the Gutshalls before that.

I found out later,

that Ludie Gutshall

had planted a postcard

in the Feather mailbox

to get them away

from the still.

He signed it, Lolly Madonna.

And that's who

they thought I was.

By the time I knew

what was happening..

There wasn't much

I could do about it anyway.

[rumbling]

Ah! Ah!

Put me down!

Uh!

[laughing]

Help! Help!

Help!

(Roonie)

'Ah! Ah!'

[engine revving]

[engine revving]

[clanging]

What the hell

are you doing, Ludie?

Pap just told us

to get the hog.

[thud]

[whistling]

Ah! Damn!

Ludie! Zeb!

They're on their way back.

Come on!

[hog squealing]

Well, we got one though.

Come home, darling.

Come on. Come on.

[engine revving]

Just hold on,

let's fill that bug up.

You got her?

Okay, hold on.

And tell daddy

I'm checking out the still.

[snorting]

[engine revving]

Alright, why don't you tell

the truth this time.

I told you everything I know.

I was just waiting for the bus,

and that's all.

I know that.

Gutshall's are supposed

to pick you up

after the bus came here.

I don't know these people, that

you keep calling the Gutshalls.

I don't know

anybody around here.

Give me the postcard.

"Dear Ludie.

'"I'm due to arrive

at Hankey Junction'

'"on the 8:
30 bus.'

'"I'll buy my wedding dress

'"in Hankey, so Elspeth

can help me pick it out.'

"I'll be waiting for you

at the bus stop."

"I love you."

"Kiss. Kiss. Kiss."

"Lolly Madonna."

'Now..'

'You deny that you wrote that?'

My name's Roonie Gill.

And this isn't

even my handwriting.

Give me a piece

of paper and I'll show you.

Sh-shh!

Anybody can change

their hand-writing.

That don't mean anything.

Listen, why don't you just call

the County Welfare

Department in Memphis.

And they'll tell you who I am.

We don't have a phone.

[birds chirping]

[door squeaking]

- Chickie, hand me the bottles.

- What was that?

Thrush.

Gutshalls busted up

the still again.

When's that man

ever going to leave you alone?

'First he takes the meadow,

now this.'

'There's no end to it, Laban,

I'm tellin' you that.'

It's okay this time, Chickie.

We got something

Pap Gutshall wants.

'I'll get my lamb back.'

[slamming]

[squealing]

(Zeb)

'Hey!'

Come on, darling!

[squealing]

- Whoa!

- 'Ludie.'

[birds chirping]

(man on TV)

'Have you told her yet?'

(woman on TV) 'I didn't know

what to say to her, Robert.'

'After what Larry said,

she just seemed so despondent.'

'Larry..'

The bank called again.

Well, that'll have to wait.

Get the biscuits, honey.

Don't know how they can

expect any payment when..

Feather won't even let me

near the meadow.

Well, let's say, you'll never

get it away from him.

I did already. It's mine.

Hell, I got as much right

around here as he has.

Ten years up here

don't mean anything, Pap.

As far as he's concerned.

You're just passing through.

What's Feather ever done around,

except raise hell?

He'll have a hell of a time

putting that still back

together.

I didn't tell you

to bust things up.

I told you

to get those hogs back.

'Hog.'

And that postcard business.

That was just plain foolish.

It worked, didn't it?

What are you complaining about?

I thought it was great.

(Sister E) 'That was

the dumbest thing I ever read.'

Well, that's funny now,

I got it out of one of your

true heart romance magazines.

I don't see

what's so great about that?

It's the strategy, stupid.

I sent them off

on a wild goose chase.

That was brilliant!

Wonder where

they got the girl then?

What girl?

There was a girl in their truck

when they came back.

What's he talking about?

Beats me.

Villum, what the hell

are you talking about?

I don't know,

just some girl that all I know.

- Give me the salt.

- And what was she doin'?

She wasn't doin' nothing.

She was all squeezed down.

- Well, who was she?

- Lolly Madonna.

There ain't no Lolly Madonna.

I made that up, dummy.
