Child of God Page #5

Synopsis: Set in mountainous Sevier County, Tennessee, Child of God tells the story of Lester Ballard, a dispossessed, violent man whom the narrator describes as "a child of God much like yourself perhaps." Ballard's life is a disastrous attempt to exist outside the social order. Successively deprived of parents and homes and with few other ties, Ballard descends literally and figuratively to the level of a cave dweller as he falls deeper into crime and degradation.

Oh.

Well, how big is she?

I don't believe she's as big as you.

Um, you know how much she weighs?

I say...she weigh about

a hundred pound, I bet.

Well, this here's...

Oh, wow.

This here's a 7.

Okay.

I think it would fit her.

Oh, yeah, okay.

Unless she's just teensy.

All right.

Well, she wanted some stuff to go with it.

What all does she need?

She needs some drawers.

That what she need.

- Well, they's all...they's all there.

- Oh, they in there?

Okay.

Okay.

No.

Mm.

You ain't got them..you don't

have any drawers in red, have you?

Hmm.

Cold enough for you?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Radio says it's going down

to 3 degrees tonight.

That pretty cold.

I'm just gonna leave it here.

Oh, I got my beans...sausage.

That sh*t smell no good.

And a half pound.

What about that boy they found up

there in that car yesterday evening?

What about him?

Damn shame.

$2.05.

Here we go.

Goddamn frozen b*tch.

Now, you and I have a big date tonight.

Okay.

Oh.

Hello.

Hi.

It's my pleasure.

I say, I know you waiting.

Something kept me.

Of course I certainly know.

It's chilly.

I might have to say,

that's the most beautiful dress

I've ever seen in my life.

Thank you.

It would be lovely to sit down with you.

I'm a little nervous.

I have a small confession to make to you.

Yes, I do.

You might be the most beautiful

woman I ever seen in my life.

I'd be very honored if

I could have one kiss.

Oh, yes, yes, I'm man enough.

I mean, of course I'm in love

with you then.

I didn't think you'd come out

that strong with it.

That's all I'm saying.

Oh, my god.

Oh, god.

God damn.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

You might be the most aggressive

girl I ever meet in my life.

Okay.

If that's the way you want it,

then that's the way it's gonna be.

I ain't nervous at all, no.

All right.

I'm gonna help you, okay?

Okay.

Let's go.

You...you talk dirty, you know.

You want nasty things done to you, huh?

That's the way you are.

That's the way it is, huh?

Oh, okay.

I'm gonna be an entire gentleman.

It's our first date.

It's our first date, huh?

Okay.

You been asking it.

I know it is.

I'm gonna get you now.

Oh, god.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my, you bad girl, huh?

Oh, my.

Oh, I love you.

I love you.

Oh, I love you.

I love you.

I love you so much.

I love you.

I love you.

Oh, my god.

I love you so much.

God damn.

Oh, sh*t!

Oh, god.

Oh, my god.

Oh, sh*t!

Okay, okay.

Oh, god!

I'm coming.

I'm coming! I'm coming!

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Come on.

Oh, god!

No! No!

No!

This our new home.

I know you don't like it.

Neither do I, god damn it.

That's the way it is.

F***er.

Howdy!
