-Are you all right?

-No.

-Help me get him up.

-You stay the hell over there.

Don't worry, I wouldn't walk that far

to help you up.

God, Emma Rae,

what's the matter with you?

Consider it a blow for your dignity.

What's dignified about kicking someone

in the balls?

I feel better.

Grace, look....

-I know--

-No, you don't know.

You don't know what it's like to be lied to.

You don't know what it's like

to be sitting there with your child...

...while your husband is making out

with someone on the street.

And you don't know how it feels

to be made a fool of in front of everyone.

So, please, don't start with '"l know,'"

because you don't know!

What I was going to say is

that I know I am 100% in the wrong...

-...and I don't blame you for being mad.

-What a comfort.

I don't want this.

I don't want to be this person, this wife!

Can you understand?

I feel like an idiot.

What if Caroline had seen you?

-Do you know how close she came?

-I'm sorry.

I don't care if you're sorry.

I'm not the kind of person

who can just let it go. I want you to leave.

-Do I get to say anything?

-I'd really rather you didn't!

Where is the doodlebug?

She's not here. She's with Mother.

You can't stop me from seeing her.

I didn't know you were coming.

She's at Aunt Rae's.

You want to see her, go over there.

I dare you.

Will you tell her that I love her?

-Whatever that means.

-Oh, Jeez.

-Are you addressing me?

-Yes.

Well, lick it, put a stamp on it,

and mail it to someone who gives a sh*t.

Okay, just trot here. Warm up.

-Hey, sweetie plum.

-Hey.

-Hey, Possum.

-Keep your mind on Miss Lily.

-She driving you crazy over Possum?

-Nope.

Keep her in a trot!

-Looking good!

-Boring.

Slower, just a tad.

Hey, buddy.

I've been waiting for the right time

to talk to Daddy about this, but....

-If it was up to me--

-But it's not, is it?

Look, I'm not going to leave

before the event, so don't worry.

But when it's over, I'm gone. Okay?

That's a good decision.

That's it.

There's one. See your distance.

Ride him into the base.

What do you think I'm doing?

Here we go. Missed it.

It was right there.

Come back and make him jump it.

Son, why don't you pipe down

and let me get the feel of it!

I've done this

since you were in short pants.

He knows what he's doing!

More than you do, you son of a b*tch.

Hey, Grace!

I feel for you.

-Amen.

-Amen.

-Where's Caroline?

-At school.

Must be missing her daddy.

I'm sure she is.

We're involved in a real estate deal

with Eddie and his dad.

Emma Rae mention anything to you

about that?

I'm aware of it.

The Wheeler Farm project.

I'm very aware of it.

It's uncomfortable for all of us
