You know Sweeney.

She never did

anything half-assed.

When she went for it,

she really went for it.

So, I would guess

that she knew everything

that she was getting into.

She was a smart girl.

Yeah, she was.

- All right, you ready?

- Yeah.

Okay, let's do it.

Come here.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

All right, so what's

the first thing you check?

That the gun in unloaded.

- And did you do that?

- Yes.

And how do you tie it up?

So that the barrel

points to the ground.

Ah, thanks.

All right, good.

So once we get this tied up, why don't

you climb up and then pull it up?

- All right?

- Yep!

After you pull it up, why don't

you kick out all the leaves?

Okay!

[grunts]

I think I'm going to go

head up over the ridge.

I'll be back

in about 20 minutes, okay?

Okay.

When will you be back?

- Like 20 minutes.

- Oh, yeah.

- You're going to be fine.

- Pfft. You said that. All right.

Okay.

[exhales]

[shivers]

[imitates engine revving]

[sighs]

[rustling, twig snaps]

[Florence] Okay, so it came up behind

me, and it, like, snuck up on me.

- [Amanda] Yeah?

- [Florence] It was like a deer ninja.

- [Amanda] Yeah? [chuckles]

- [Florence] And it, like...

It just came up.

And at first,

it didn't make a sound.

- [Amanda] Yeah?

- [Florence] It just creeped up and went in front of me.

And it just stood there and looked at me

like it wanted to be my friend or something.

Wow, that is so cool.

Wow, I don't...

I don't think I've had anything

like that happen to me before.

Holy sh*t, Mom,

you should have seen it.

Hey, did you

just say "sh*t?"

Sorry, Mom.

I'm just really excited.

Well, I guess I just have

never heard you say "sh*t"

in front of me

before, so...

You just said it twice.

Yeah, I guess I did.

You're taking this

very lightly.

Yeah, well, I guess

I'll take what I can get.

Just, hey, do not say that in

front of Grandmother, okay?

I'll give you a pass this time.

That's it.

Don't go drinking beer

or anything.

- [scoffs] Ew, Mom.

- [laughs]

Oh, heads up,

it's your uncle.

- Hey, I'm unarmed.

- No, you're not.

You're the only one

who is armed.

Here, go, go, go!

That doesn't shoot

pinecones, Craig.

Hey! [laughs]

Ow! Hey! Stop it!

What are you doing?

I'm protecting

my granddaughter.

Okay, truce, truce,

truce, truce.

[Mia] Hey, can someone

help me out here?

[Florence]

What are you doing?

I'm just cutting some cedar

for the deer.

They love this stuff.

It's like candy for them.

- But why do we have to cut it?

- Because they don't have thumbs.

What is that

suppose to mean?

Well, if they had thumbs they could climb

it and get it themselves, you know.

[Florence]

Craig, you're a weirdo.
