sense back then.

I felt like I had someplace

I was supposed to be.

The rest of my life

if I could just feel

the way I felt

when I was squeezing

that trigger...

The body of Christ.

Amen.

The body of Christ.

Amen.

The body of Christ.

Amen.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

Did you see the way they

were all looking at him?

Send your kids

over the Pages

and they'll send them

home saying cocksucker.

He apologized.

He's creepy.

Okay,

so he's a bit rough;

he doesn't know how to

behave in polite company,

but he's okay.

He's raw,

he drinks too much.

He just hasn't gotten

over things yet.

Why not?

You did.

He's just hanging around

feeling sorry for himself.

It was a head wound,

Irene.

That poor man has

no one on his side.

He's got know

one to love him.

Just chewed up

and spit out.

Have a nice life,

try to behave.

You know when he came to

our door my heart just sank.

It hurts to look

at the guy.

I think,

did I really help him

or curse him?

That's the kind

of man you are;

too modest to admit when

you've done a great thing.

What you did,

you know,

and injured or not,

it's up to him what

he does with that now.

He won't stay here long,

I promise.

Okay.

Daddy come push me.

We're working on the

car right now Jacob.

In a little bit,

okay?

Mind if I run into

the bathroom quick?

Sure,

go ahead.

Jacob,

what did Mommy say?

Wash your hands

when you pee.

What are you doing?

Why don't I push

you on that swing?

I was wondering...

what I can do to repay

your hospitality?

Relax Sherman,

you're a guest.

We don't want anything.

I can't keep sponging

off your goodwill.

Stop it.

You hear any complaints?

No.

Did I ever show you this?

Same one I was issued

when we fought together.

You can't have

that out in here;

you'll get arrested.

Did you keep yours?

God,

no.

You're not even allowed.

Not all of us can have

medals for keepsakes.

Give me a break.

And did they ever teach you

how to use your bayonet

to catch a fox?

When you're stranded

in winter

and you need

to save bullets?

I don't think so.

So what you do is

you take a piece of jerky,

you put it on

the tip of the blade

then you bury it in the snow,

knife point up.

Fox, he smells that

from a long way away,

he comes running,

he starts to lick the meat,

and he licks it again

and it cuts his tongue.

But its winter and

he's half starved
