Goddamn sea of green.

Your dog's born to fight, Coal.

It's in his blood.

Yeah. Are you sure of that?

Yes, sir. As sure as I am old

Springfield here gonna win this thing.

Oh, yeah.

Hmm?

This town's got

nothing for a hustler.

Hey, what's your problem?

Back off!

What's happening, guys?

Take it easy.

Goddamn filthy mutt.

Don't push my dog, Stew.

What are you gonna do about it?

I'm gonna buy you a drink.

You guys need anything over here?

Buy him his drink.

Necks.

A surprise, huh?

You know,

you can't be cutting school.

Your momma's gonna be mad.

- She's always mad.

- Hey.

You and Sarah know better than

to talk bad about your mom.

By the way, she can hear you,

no matter how far away she is.

Trust me.

Oh, I got a surprise. Sit down.

A little surprise.

Close your eyes.

Guess what I made you?

Is it a house?

Is somebody peeking?

Ta-da.

Hey, and you can paint each wall

a different color if you want.

What do you say?

- Thank you, Daddy.

- Thank you.

- Thanks, Marlene.

- You're welcome.

Girls, take Brute out back and play.

Brute.

Damn school called the diner,

like I can't raise my kids.

Now I'm out a half a day's tips.

You're affecting my job now, Walker,

and if you are not gonna start paying...

I didn't tell them to cut school.

No, but you gave them a damn toy,

just like saying it's okay.

Why not bring groceries, huh?

'Cause little girls don't say

"I love you" for a can of peas!

I'm not the bad guy here.

No, Walker, I am.

Because you force me to be.

Because you force them to cut

school to see their daddy.

I gave you the house. You got the girls.

What more do you want from me?

I want child support!

I want my life back!

You think this is all I wanted, huh?

You dragged me away

from my friends, my sister.

You dragged me here and you dumped

me off in this sh*t-hole town.

I had plans before you and the girls.

I was going to do

something with my life!

Then do it!

With what, Walker?

With two kids and my goddamn tips?

Can't start over with that.

I'll take the girls.

Oh, yeah, you're good at taking.

You gonna take the time

to sew their hand-me-downs, huh?

You gonna pack their lunches, huh?

You're going to stay up with them

all night when they're sick, huh?

You're gonna take the humiliation

of standing in line

waiting for shots at the free clinic?

I want the girls!

I want the girls!

That is exactly why

I won't give them to you.

Why can't we be with you?

The judge tells people what they

can do and what they can't do.

He says I can see you,

but I can't keep you.

But you're our daddy.

And, chipmunk,

sometimes Daddy's got no choice.

Can't we just go somewhere,
