it's meant for us. Looks like

some five-year-old kid wrote it. I'm sure you're right.

It's probably nothing, I just didn't think it was

real amusing. It doesn't mean anything,

they're just teasing you. I did worst things than that

when I was a kid. Is that why you had

that door locked? What're you cooking

in there? - Don't you recognize the smell?

-Ls that gumbo? - Yeah.

- Yeah? - Hello ma'am.

- Good morning. My name is Roy Lee, but everybody calls

me the traveling man. And this Sunday morning,

i hate to disturb you, but uh, I have a lot

of things in my truck out there,

pretty cheap. You interested in

buying some of them? Well okay, let's go

see what you got. Ben, I think, your tie clasp

is up on the dresser! Ma'am, you can see I got a lot

of different things over here. Pots, pans, teakettle...

That's nice, coffeepot. I want to sell you something. And there's a nice necktie

for your husband. There's another... And this is the umbrella

right here. Well, you know really

i got a lot of this stuff. I've got enough pots and pans,

I've got ties, I've got an umbrella. You don't have any fresh

vegetables, do ya? No ma'am, I can't.

They spoil too quickly. I don't sell none of them. Come around to this side,

I've got more stuff over here. This is what I have

on the other side. Sure is nice to see somebody

move into this place. Been vacant a long time. Has it? Why is that? Had a lot of strange things

happen around here. What do you mean?

What kind of strange things? Ain't you heard about the folks

that were killed here? You ain't heard about

all that killing out here, all them

people dying? What... what do you mean?

What's been going on? I believe in 1934, a lady

by the name of Mrs. mullins, a mule kicked

that woman to death. Then drug her husband all the

way in the back of the field. It was in all the newspapers, but I tell it better than

the newspapers do. Get up there! Come on! Come on, Linus! Eugene! Eugene? Eugene? Eugene? Eugene? Eugene, are you in there? Eugene? Eugene? Always been scared to

come up here, but I'm glad to see

nice folks like you living here. Ruth? We're late for service.

Find anything you like? No. I've got twelve long horn hens

out there. If you're interested in them, pay them in a day or two. Well, what's a barn

without chickens? - You bring 'em around.

- Yes, I'll bring 'em here. When you come by, well, you could chop some stove wood

for me if you want. Pay you five dollars for

the chickens and for the work. It sounds like a deal.

Be here in a day or two. Alright. Mr. and Mrs. Watkins.

How are you? Fine, thank you. I've been invited to

Mr. Buckner's picnic today, - I hope I see you there.
