Tex Page #2

I'll come back and take you? OK?

Look, don't you two understand English?

He's my horse and I'm gonna find him.

I ain't going back until I find him.

- No, Tex, wait up.

- Get lost!

Get in the truck.

No.

Damn it, I've had enough with you tonight.

I got a rope here. I'll tie you up

and drag you home if I have to.

He's right around here, isn't he?

That's why you want to stop me, right?

Yeah, he's right around here

and you're gonna find him.

Then he won't be sold any more.

Pop'll come home and we'll all be happy.

And we won't have to brush our teeth

or go to school ever again.

Christ, you're dumb.

Come on, get in the truck, OK?

- Hey, man.

- Hi, Robert.

Johnny and sis told me what happened.

- How's Texas doing?

- All right.

- Heard you two had...

- Just short of a major war, yeah.

Come on in.

You know, Cole could have bought

those horses for Johnny or Jamie.

Yeah, that would have completed

the Collins' vast empire pretty good.

Johnny's got enough for Tex

to be jealous of already, don't you think?

Can't see where Tex'd get jealous.

Johnny's always following him around

like some kinda puppy dog.

- Yeah, like a rich puppy dog.

- Kids don't think about money that much.

They do when you gotta sell their horse.

I didn't mean to hit him like that,

though. It's not like it was his fault.

- It wasn't anybody's fault.

- It sure as hell was.

It was my pop's fault. He ditched us here.

You know, I almost quit school

last quarter to get a job.

They might have let you quit school.

They'll never let you quit basketball.

I can't play basketball

if I gotta get a job to take care of Tex.

Coach Jackson's

got me in for a scholarship at Indiana.

Scouts don't even come to Bixby.

He's gotta send them a film of me playing.

If I make it through this season,

I'm gonna get out of Bixby

and I ain't coming back.

- Did we get any mail today?

- Couple more bills.

If you're hot to pay them,

it's OK with me.

Nothing from Pop, huh?

Pop would send us bills

if he thought we'd pay 'em.

I think he's hoping we'll forget

we got a father out there.

Yeah. Well, he's gotta come back,

specially if you're going off to college.

Hey, it's Lem.

Hey, Lem.

Hey!

T for Texas! How you doing, man?

Finally got us a man from the big city.

When did they let you out of Tulsa?

Where's Connie?

Oh, Connie's back in Tulsa.

She's with another man.

- What do you boys feel like doing?

- Another man?

Yeah. They're in bed together.

Course, guy's only a couple of hours old.

- You mean you had your baby?

- No, Connie did all the having.

- I just paced a hole in the damn floor.

- Tell your folks yet?

No, Mason, we figured we ought to wait
