You know, if you planted corn

like everybody else,

you could just sit back

and watch it grow. Charge the line.

Murphy:
So you're coaching

farmers now too?

Coldwater's corn country

for a reason.

Yeah, well, it used to be

football country too.

What are you, four and six?

- Six and four.

- Close enough.

You know, if that's meant

to hurt me, it doesn't.

These guys may not be as talented

as you guys once were, but I'll tell you

something... they play twice as hard

and I like them just as much.

Yeah, well, you should be

seven and three

if you'd have hit Taylor

on that deep post against Marion

instead of bringing in Wilson

to kick a 42-yard field goal,

and the guy can't hit

the broad side of a barn.

You know, for somebody

who's too busy

to come down

and watch football games,

you sure as hell know a lot

about what's going on in 'em.

Yeah, well, I don't listen...

got 'em playing on the damn radio

at the station.

You think I don't know where you go

on Friday nights, huh?

You think I'm blind,

can't see your headlights

up there on that bluff?

Why don't you get your ass

out of that truck

and down on the field

where it means something?

It's bad enough to listen to you

lose on the radio.

You think I want to come down

and witness it in person?

Think you can do any better?

Come on down

and coach my quarterbacks.

Sure, as soon as you come help me

work my back 40.

I'll help you plant... some corn.

Why don't you worry about your field,

and I'll worry about mine?

(buzzing)

People said you were crazy

for growing soybeans here,

but they look good to me.

Yeah, yeah, looking pretty good.

What've you got?

Certified mail.

Is Sasha around?

She took the girls

to the park.

Just put her stuff

on the porch.

Oh, wait.

One more thing.

My mom said that Macy told

Joanne Bragden

to tell her to tell me

to tell you to get a move on...

something about

"Frank and a tie"?

Oh.

Man:
Mr. Murphy, it's been 120 days

since your last payment.

Murphy:
Frank said we could

work something out...

something about a "forbearance"

till harvest.

I filled out

all this paperwork.

The crop's about 80%

right now.

It's gonna be ready to harvest

real soon.

Were you friends with Frank?

Yeah, kinda.

I played ball with Chris Hall.

- Chris who?

- The football player

who does your ads.

Uh-huh.

Um, Mr. Murphy, I am...

I'm sure that... ahem...

Frank thought he was helping you out,

but he's actually

put you in a pretty bad

situation.

It's not that bad, is it?

To be honest, Mr. Murphy,

based on your equity

and your

employment history, this...

this loan should have never been

approved.

Well, I already got the loan.
