Certain Women Page #5

- Dad..

Like I care.

- Listen. Let's you and I

make an effort.

We're gonna be nice

to your mom today.

Okay? Let's cut

her some slack.

- Why? Is she sick

or something?

- No, she isn't sick.

Gonna just be nice to her.

- 'Cause?

- Because she works really hard.

She does a lot for us.

Because neither of us

would do very well without her.

- Gosh, dad.

You're building her a house.

How much better can you be?

-So, you'll ask Albert?

You always know

what to say to him.

-What's to know?

- I just mean he trusts you.

[water gushing]

- Guthrie. Guthrie.

Guthrie.

Come say hi to Albert.

- No.

No way, dad.

Every time we come out here,

you guys swear

it won't take all weekend,

but it always..

- I don't know

why you indulge her.

- I was just talking to her.

I mean, we did tell her

that we weren't gonna

keep her out here all day.

- God, you really can't help it.

-What?

- Making me the bad guy.

Always.

-Whatever.

- I wonder how much more

there might be buried here.

-I don't know.

Let's let him know we're here.

[knocks on door]

- You ask.

- You'll help.

We should've brought him

something.

- Hello, Albert.

-Hey, Albert.

-Hi.

You're back in town?

- Yes.

- Come in.

- Thank you.

Nice and warm.

- Ha!

- Yeah.

Um..

Please.

- Thank you.

How are you?

-I, uh, I fell..

Last week.

Uh, I was on the phone.

Well, some people were here.

And I banged my head.

- Is there anything

that we can do to help?

Do you need anything?

-No, I don't need anything.

I cook up big soups.

So I've got stuff

in the freezer.

-You still play guitar?

- I can play. Are we supposed

to play somewhere?

- I don't, I don't think so.

But it would sure be fun

to hear you play.

-Well, yes.

I've got milk and everything.

When my friends came by,

they brought milk.

- The friends who were here

when you fell.

- I was on the phone

when I fell.

I was alone.

- Oh, I'm sorry,

I thought that..

That you said that you had

friends who were visiting.

-Some people were here.

I wasn't stuck on my back

like a turtle all night.

-Poor Albert.

- I can't find

the date the Catfish

are supposed to play.

Just ask in town.

- Albert, so we were wondering

about the sandstone

in the front yard,

and if you'd be willing

to sell it to us.

I mean, if you wanted

to get rid of it

we... we'd take it off

your hands.

- Have you talked

to Kyle Gazi lately?

Is he gonna help you

build your house?

-I think so.

Oh, he's gonna let him use

his backhoe anyway.

- Well, you should dig up a

garden when you got the backhoe.

- We're not really

planting a garden.

- Just, uh, desert plants.

We won't have to water too much.
