go back to the camp, if you want to.

The boss couldn't have knowed

how bad the place is.

I could talk to him again, and still maybe

get my bulldozing job for the winter.

Well...

How's the ground?

Oh, it's good earth alright...

You know, with dirt like this, a fella

could raise the best crop in the country.

Been layin' out all these years.

The earth's kinda like men, you know...

It needs a rest every once in a while.

Maybe that's the reason

the Lord invented Sunday.

But how about all this brush

and Johnson grass?

You'll kill yourself gettin' rid of it

before the plantin'.

I ain't all alone Honey...

I ain't like Uncle Pete.

Every time i get plum wore out...

I think of you and Jotty and Daisy...

And I ain't quite so tired anymore.

Oh, Sam!

I just could never get along

without you.

Me too, Honey...

I couldn't live without you.

The thing that'd be good about it is

we could always work together.

When you did the ploughin'

I could lead the mules... and...

When you clean up this brush,

I could burn it for you... and...

Summertime we could lie in the grass

and watch the kids swimmin' in the river.

Yeah... that'd be fun, Honey!

But what worries me

is that busted well.

Oh, Sam... we could surely borrow water

from the neighbour, yonder...

Nobody refuses water.

Yeah... I hear he's got a good well.

Sam... I reckon we ought to stay!

You really mean that?

You ain't just sayin' that

to make me feel good?

I'm sayin' it because I believe

you're as good as any man...

and it's right for you

to be your own boss.

Hey, you two...

You ain't all alone here, you know!

Hey there... we've got enough... we're

moving in and it's all ironed... come on.

Come on... give me a hand.

You take the pictures...

mind you don't drop 'em.

Come on sweetie...

I'll help you down

No you don't!

I don't want aim to go no...

Can't even say it...

me I'm a lady.

Alright old lady...

but you better be down before morning...

or you'll go right back to camp

with this truck.

Old man Coreo mightn't

like it too much, neither.

Sam Tucker! My own grandson

gone as crazy as a bedbug!

Total crazy I tell you!

Crazy as a bedbug!

You've gone completely silly!

He's clean outta his mind,

I tell ya!

There's so much...

You're downright mean!

They gotta take out their cussedness

on somebody's old folks!

I done had my share

and I ain't takin' no more no how!

I takin' no more!

Ain't exactly a veranda, honey... but to me

it's the porch that makes the house a home!

Sam, I think I got the stove working!

We'll all light it together.

Our first fire in our own house.

Yeah... You sure made a good job

of that stove, Honey.
