Ulee's Gold Page #2

- They still robbing mini-marts?

- Eddie called yesterday.

They were in a bar down

in the trail two nights ago.

She stumbles in, strung out on something.

She's acting so crazy,

someone's gonna call the cops.

So somehow Eddie and Ferris managed

to get her out and took her home.

I wouldn't trust those two bastards

any further than I could spit.

Neither would I.

That's why you gotta go get her

right now, while we know where she is...

- before Eddie or Ferris do something.

- Get her?

And then what?

She left her kids, your kids. Remember?

This is my busiest time.

I'm supposed to risk everything

to go bring back a god...

As far as I'm concerned,

she can just stay gone.

She's sick, Dad.

I don't know nothing about dealing

with scum like Eddie and Ferris.

Besides...

you think she's gonna

let me go in there...

take her off just like that?

You're all we got, Pop.

- How you doing?

- Where are you?

Casey, you're gonna have to take care

of things for a while longer.

There's food there. Get Penny to help.

I've been taking care of her all day.

I'm about ready to kill the creep.

Tell her everything's okay.

And, Casey...

I may be bringing your mom home.

- Why bother?

- That was my feeling exactly.

But your dad...

Your dad's real worried about her.

How is he?

Okay, I guess.

Where are you now?

Outside Orlando.

I've only got a phone number.

So far I haven't been able to get through.

It's typical.

Yeah.

You all take care of yourself, okay?

Yeah, no sweat.

See you tomorrow.

Speak to me.

I'm trying to reach Eddie Flowers

or Ferris Dooley.

Mr. Jackson.

When do you want to get together?

The sooner, the better.

Meet us at the Orange Blossom

on the trail in an hour.

We'll be shooting pool in back.

Nice to see you again, Mr. Jackson.

It's been a while.

Not long enough, Eddie.

I guess some things can't be helped.

Ferris has been sleeping

on the floor in here, Mr. Jackson.

It's not the most comfortable

situation, right?

She was walking in her sleep.

We had to tie her up sometimes.

Yes, sir, it's booming down here,

with that mouse and all.

This is where all those

smart guys are setting up.

Yeah?

You wouldn't believe the opportunities.

Ferris and me? Man, we got it made.

- Too bad Jimmy can't be here with us.

- What's she on?

- What?

- What's she on?

Oh.

Well, down here they call them rufies.

When you mix them

with a beer or two, God knows...

you can go wild and crazy and

not remember a thing in the morning.

That ain't for me. No way.

Where's she been staying?

We ran into her, she was working

at a Waffle House a couple weeks ago.

Something bad had happened.
