Mm-hmm.

You want some iced tea?

Oh, you... F***!

- I think he's a creep.

- Kristen.

Do we have to have him around?

I told him that we would

see how it went.

So we'll just...

- We'll see how it goes, okay?

- Yeah.

You ready, Dale?

Yeah.

All right.

Kill it.

Ready?

Ready.

No peeking.

Okay.

"Evil."

Devil's throat!

You're it.

I'm not playing anymore.

- Oh, sore loser, are we?

- Shut up.

Hammerhand will bash your skull.

Hammerhand will throw you down

the devil's throat.

Bash your skull.

Bash your skull!

Shut up.

- Hey!

Thus bringing active

light where there was none.

Today, New York City has the

world's largest concentration

of full and partial

cast-iron facades.

Sorry to bother you, sir.

Yeah?

We're gonna need to spend

a little money on the pump.

Is it okay to send

one of the boys to the store?

- Sure.

Just give me a second, okay?

- No problem.

- The best, from the 1870s,

are in the SoHo-Cast Iron

district.

Cast-iron architecture

was a mass-produced

American architectural...

New York, New York, huh?

You got a lot

of great equipment.

American architectural

innovation of the 19th...

Man, this room used to

terrify me when I was a kid.

- It was my daddy's study.

- Cast-iron architecture...

How much?

Couple hundred, max.

- Here.

- Thank you.

What do you make of these?

Uh, I don't know.

- You're a historian, right?

- What do you think they're for?

- I have absolutely no idea.

What are they for?

They're killing hammers.

Back in the day,

when Cold Creek Farm

was in its heyday,

there were 20,000 sheep here.

Come the season, they were

slaughtering 1,000 a day.

That's a lot of bullets, right?

So my grandfather and his

blacksmith, they designed these.

Pretty cool, huh?

Check this out.

Look at the spike.

Straight into the brain.

Small, little, clean hole

right through the skull.

Bam.

No bone splinters.

And no pain.

Design got better

and better over the years.

Then the bolt gun came out.

It became redundant.

Seems to be one missing.

Yeah.

What am I doing gabbing here?

We both have jobs to do, right?

- Hey, Mom.

- Come in.

- Yeah, the water's great.

- Oh, no.

Okay, look.

If you'll get in,

I'll clean my room.

- Oh.

- Okay?

- You never will do that.

Aah!

Oh, it's really warm.

Okay.

Oh, it's nice in here.

Hi.

Ah. Nice job.

Thank you, Mrs. Tilson.

It's Leah.

- Like the jet, right?

- Yeah.

Oh, we didn't know

it was gonna be this hot.

I don't think your daughter

likes me very much.

Oh.

Sure, she does.

She's just a bit shy.

She's a pretty girl.

Yeah.

Just like her mama.

- The ball.

- What?

- The ball.

- The ball.

Richard Jefferies

John Richard Jefferies (6 November 1848 – 14 August 1887) was an English nature writer, noted for his depiction of English rural life in essays, books of natural history, and novels. His childhood on a small Wiltshire farm had a great influence on him and provides the background to all his major works of fiction. Jefferies's corpus of writings includes a diversity of genres and topics, including Bevis (1882), a classic children's book, and After London (1885), an early work of science fiction. For much of his adult life, he suffered from tuberculosis, and his struggles with the illness and with poverty also play a role in his writing. Jefferies valued and cultivated an intensity of feeling in his experience of the world around him, a cultivation that he describes in detail in The Story of My Heart (1883). This work, an introspective depiction of his thoughts and feelings on the world, gained him the reputation of a nature mystic at the time. But it is his success in conveying his awareness of nature and people within it, both in his fiction and in essay collections such as The Amateur Poacher (1879) and Round About a Great Estate (1880), that has drawn most admirers. Walter Besant wrote of his reaction on first reading Jefferies: "Why, we must have been blind all our lives; here were the most wonderful things possible going on under our very noses, but we saw them not." more…
