Bone, one for you one for Reese.

Alright.

- Anney?

- What?

Anney.

Anney.

You know.

You know I love you.

I can't wait no more.

I can't.

I love you with all my heart, girl.

And your girls,

God, I love them.

Our girls.

Our girls, Anney.

Call me Daddy.

Call me Daddy cause I love your Mama.

Cause I love you.

I'm going to treat you right,

you'll see.

Don't say no Anney,

don't do that to me.

I don't know, Glen, it's...

Alright, I'm going to think about it.

Anney?

OK, alright.

Come on out here, girls! God!

I knew you'd say yes!

Oh Anney, what you do to me!

You've never even imagined, Anney.

- Hey, Bone.

- Hey.

Are you sleeping?

You're starting to look like me,

Bone. You're growing up.

What do you think, honey?

Think I'm doing the right thing?

I don't know.

I think I am.

I hope I am.

Sometimes I just get so tired,

you know.

Sometimes I just want

somebody strong to stand by me.

Stay with me.

I'll stay with you.

I know you will, Bone.

You'd better hurry up and get married

before you start showing!

This dress is too tight.

It ain't right, his own brother

turning him down to be best man.

That's because

he isn't the best man, Mama.

I'm the best man.

Come on boys, let the girls

say goodbye to their Mama.

Oh honey, don't cry.

I'll be home before you know it.

And then you'll have a new Daddy,

and we'll be a family.

Right?

Now you be happy for me, sugar.

I am.

Why can't we go, Bone? Why can't we?

Because it ain't for children.

What are you doing, Earle?

Giving you a chance

to change your mind.

Hellfire, Earle, I'm not going

to change my mind.

I've got a man who loves me.

He loves you alright...

Like a gambler loves a fast racehorse,

or a desperate man loves whiskey.

You're just jealous.

Maybe I am.

You keep it, it'll do you some good.

- You look pretty.

- Thank you.

It's going to be a boy,

I'm telling you. Glen Junior.

Well, hot damn, Glen.

Congratulations, boy!

Oh, to hell with you.

To hell with all of you.

I tell you, never come

between a man and his ambitions.

Anney gives him anything but a boy

he's going to go plumb crazy.

Well a man should never put

his ambitions in a woman's belly.

Me, I don't trust a man

who won't take a drink.

Hell, that'd serve him right

if she gave him another girl.

I'm hoping Anney does give him a son.

A half-dozen sons while she's at it.

There's something about that Glen.

I almost like him...

but I've got a feeling the boy could

turn like whiskey in a bad barrel.

- Hey smart girls.

- Hey Mama.

Sweetheart, I've got you something.

Thank you, baby.

Give me that.

I'm making you a horsey.

Hey, Bone!

Come sit with me, come on.

Here.

The doctor says it's going
