- Thanks.|- Take care, now.

Where in blue blazes|did that come from?

- I saved it.|- You saved it?

So I can buy two hound pups.

Will you order 'em for me?

- How long you been saving up, boy?|- A long time.

I did what you said,|about meeting God halfway.

He's the one that helped me.

- Your pa know you have this?|- Pa needs a new mule real bad.

But I want them dogs real bad, too.

Oh.

Hmm.

You must have worked|real hard for that.

Earned it.

That there is your money.

You want them dogs,|you're gonna get them dogs.

I'll guarantee that.

Billy?|You done your schoolwork?

I'm doing it now, Ma.

I want you|to understand something, Billy.

I love this place. It was my mother's land,|and her people before her.

And it'll break my heart to leave,|and it'll break your father's heart as well.

But I know we gotta go to where|my children can get a proper education.

Better than I can give you here.

Now, finish your schoolwork.

Hey, Billy.

- Need some help with that feed?|- No, I got it.

I was just down at Grandpa's store.|He said he's got something for you.

All right, baking powder,

a pound of pork,

- and... Hey, Billy. How you doing?|- Ah, hey, Billy.

Well, I sure thank you,|Miss Carter, and I, uh...

I'm just gonna put this on your bill.

- Appreciate it.|- OK.

- D.J., here you go.|- Thank you.

Well? Are they here?

What are you talking about?|Is what here?

Oh, you know what?

I think something did come for you...

Oh, I had it on me.|Wait a minute, now. Just...

There it is, yeah. There you go.

What's this?

- Where are they?|- Tahlequah.

- Tahlequah?|- Yes, sir.

Doggone.

That's halfway down the river.

Well, why didn't they come here?

Well, the mail buggy|don't deliver dogs, that's why.

Tahlequah?

Well, don't get all upset.|I already talked to Jim Hedges.

He's going over there Saturday,|he'd be happy to give you a ride.

- What if he forgets?|- Well, he ain't gonna forget.

Have a piece of licorice here, and stand|on your head. That'll calm you down.

Oh.

I have something else for you.|It'll make you feel better.

There you go.

- Well, what's this for?|- Well, that's the Depression.
