to be a while, but she's doing fine.

I know she's worried.

She thinks if it's a girl

I won't love it.

It'd still be our baby.

Even if she did have a girl,

we'd have another soon enough.

I'll have my son.

Anney and I, we'll have

our little baby boy.

I know it.

I just know it.

Come here.

Your Mama's going be alright.

And I love you Bone.

I know you don't believe me,

but I do.

We're going to be happy.

Real happy.

Everything's going to be alright.

Get in the back, Bone.

Go on, go to sleep.

Your Mama's going to be alright.

But she won't have no more babies.

My baby's dead.

My boy.

My boy.

For the things

which are not seen are eternal.

Now may the peace of God,

which surpasses all understanding...

so guide your hearts

and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

Now in glory, forever and ever.

And may the grace of god in communion

with the sweet fellowship...

of the holy spirit go and rest

upon us throughout this day.

In Jesus' name, amen.

We're moving.

What? Where?

I found us a place over

by the JC Penney mill.

Why? What's wrong with this place?

Damn you, Glen Waddell.

Don't you take Anney so far away.

It's alright, Alma.

It's going to be alright.

You want to help me move?

Get packing?

What? What?

We don't need nobody else's help,

we're going to do fine on our own.

OK?

Alright.

Let me get started then.

Where's your Mama?

Sleeping.

What've you got there?

A picture.

Let me see it.

Now, Bone,

this ain't your Daddy.

I'm your Daddy, Bone.

Reese, honey.

Tell me I'm your Daddy.

Daddy.

That's right.

Now you do it.

Say it.

Call me your daddy.

Daddy.

What's going on?

Where's Bone off to?

She's taking a little walk.

That child's moody as hell.

I don't know why they fired me,

I was doing everything

I was supposed to.

I've got three sons.

One's a lawyer, finest around, going

to be district attorney some day.

Another one is a dentist with the

biggest practice in Greenville County.

They make their Daddy proud.

And then I've got you.

When are you going to do something

to make your Daddy proud?

I'll tell you when, never.

You come here looking for a job?

Is that why you are here?

Yes.

No Sir.

Other boys are getting laid off too,

honey.

Maybe you ought to ask James

for that money he owes you,

for the work you did on his porch.

I can't do that. I'd rather starve.

But he owes you.

I told you I can't do that.

I know it's hard, Glen,

but James is your brother.

We ain't gonna have the rent

if you don't get it from him.

You don't understand.

James never said nothing

about paying me at all.

Hell, he didn't even ask for my help.

I just went over there and did it.
