Septien Page #2

Synopsis: Suddenly and without explanation, Cornelius Rawlings, The Athlete (Tully), returns to his family's Tennessee farm eighteen years after he disappeared. His parents have died, but his two brothers -- Ezra, The Matriarch (Robert Longstreet) and Amos, The Artist (Onur Tukel) -- have continued their isolated, idiosyncratic lives on the family farm. The brothers receive the phenomenally bearded Cornelius' return with equal parts bewilderment and joy, but he remains a mysterious presence in their midst, slipping away occasionally to hustle cash as an unlikely ringer on the basketball and tennis courts. A tentative balance is struck, even as much remains unsettled and unsaid among the brothers... until a sleazy figure from their past returns, turning their world on its head.

It was made of plastic,

and it blowed up.

But it got stuck on the tree.

And then I had this other one

that was like a rocket,

and I taped a little paper guy

to it, and he, like, burned up,

'cause I couldn't see him,

where the rocket landed.

But all I found where

the rocket landed

was a piece of plastic

that was the top.

And then we had this other one

that was about, like, this big,

and it spun around.

And it starts-and it explodes.

- Oh, man, it's hot outside.

- Yeah, it is.

- Do you want to play me

in tennis?

- We're already playing.

- Do you want to play

for $50?

- Do you have $50?

- Does this look like $50?

- Yeah.

- I'm gonna need

to borrow his racket.

- Sure.

- Ah.

- Hey, what the f***?

Hey, what are you doing

with my nozzle?

Hey!

Do you work here?

- [breathing deeply]

[urine splashing]

[toilet flushing]

- Get up.

[thunder crashing]

- Hey, Con.

You know, I used to sit out

in the rain like this

with Daddy.

He'd drink whiskey.

I'd drink lemonade.

You weren't born yet.

Amos, what are you doing

way over there?

Come on over.

Have a beer with your brothers.

I'd be lying if I told you

I understood that boy.

But I love him.

[thunder rumbling]

[rain pounding]

[birds chirping]

[knocking at door]

Come in.

Oh, hey, Wilbur.

- Uh, hey, Ezra.

- Hey, there.

All right, have a seat,

sweetheart.

You know I don't like-

- But look what I got here.

- Okay, have a seat, sweetheart.

I don't like people standing

around my kitchen.

- Right here?

- Yes.

What you got?

- Um, it's a VHS camcorder.

And I dug it up outside.

And, um, well, um,

I made a movie on it.

- You did?

- Yeah.

And I thought, um-

I thought you might like

to see it.

Um, it's pretty neat.

It's just a-

- Well, okay.

Well, I'll take a look at it.

- How these things work,

uh, you-

you just have

to look right here.

- Look right in there?

- Yeah, look in there

and press the Play button.

And, uh, I think it should be-

it should be on the part that...

What do you think?

- Wilbur, you made this movie?

- Yeah.

- This is exceptional.

This is-

- Well, I wouldn't called it

exceptional.

I mean-

- Oh, I would.

- It's just a-

- This is one of the most

beautiful things

I've ever seen in my life.

I had no idea

you were this talent-

this is inc-

Wilbur.

- Well, you haven't seen

that much of it, Ezra.

- Oh, my Lord.

Where-I-

this is done.

We're gonna have an art show.

We're gonna show this

to the world.

I'm gonna-we're gonna get

the church basement.

We're gonna invite all those

fine folk over there in.

I'm gonna make popcorn.

I'm gonna serve lemonade.

[Daniel Boone's

Beautiful Sunday]
