kicked all us men out.
I was mid-bite into an ear of corn.
You have... you have
never seen such a flurry.
And then your ma and I counted
all your fingers and toes.
Turns out you were perfect.
And then we brought
your pa in to see you.
I'd never seen anything
more beautiful in all my life
than you and your ma lying
on this very table, Mark.
Pa.
And I helped your
ma with you too, Luke.
You boys brought your ma such
happiness when you arrived.
What about me, Aunt Coral?
Did I make Ma happy?
Especially you, John.
Especially you.
Now, why don't you boys
show your appreciation
and go ahead and clear this table?
Oh, no, no, leave it.
Edvena and I'll get it.
Matthew...
let's me and you go talk.
I admit, I was kind of
expecting a pack of wild Indians.
They're good, Jonas; they're good.
They're not gonna give
you a lick of trouble,
I can promise you that.
I believe you, Matt.
So it's okay?
You can keep 'em?
That's just it.
It ain't easy to say, so...
I'll just speak it plain.
We can take two of the boys.
We can't keep all three.
You and Coral are
the only family we got.
I can't break up the boys,
Jonas, give me a chance.
I'm asking for six months, Jonas,
six months, maybe a year.
Just, just give me time
to get something going,
maybe even meet a woman who
can help take care of them.
Kind of like you shouldn't
have married in the first place.
What Pearl did had
nothing to do with me.
John was born, you know that.
Don't blame that backwards
boy of yours, neither.
Told Pearl she should
never have married you.
You count your blessings.
At least two of them boys,
they got Pearl's blood
in 'em and not yours.
I've said what I had to say.
It's Mark and Luke or none.
You're the co-pilot now.
Pa, don't go!
You boys be good.
Get in the car, John.
Good-bye!
Pa! Pa!
Here's your whistle.
Did you see this?
"Boy in the box"?
What is that?
Pete's just doing his job.
That boy had a name.
Well, I'm sure if he
knew it, he'd print it.
Nothing we need to get
worked up about, right?
That's my job.
Look, your job doesn't include
you getting upset about a headline.
I'm not getting upset about it.
I'm just taking care of it, as usual.
When do you ever bring work home?
Barb, goddamn it.
- I've got it.
- It's fine, just leave it.
- It's my fault.
- I'll take care of it.
It's fine.
There are copies.
They're just fine, don't worry about it.
get out of place in this house.
Just leave it!
Thomas Adkins!
Tommy!
Tommy!
What the hell were you thinking?
What's wrong?
"Boy in the box"?
What is that?
