Adam!
Oh, my god.
Clint!
Over here!
I found him!
All right, you're good to go.
Hey, bill.
I heard from head office.
And?
It's not good.
I'm sorry, uh, who'd you--
who did you talk to?
Uh, Janice.
One second.
Hello?
Oh, hey.
No, that-that doesn't matter.
'Cause he doesn't care.
Yes, I will remind him. 6:30.
No.
'Cause that's just who he is.
Okay, I love you, too.
Bye.
Sorry.
Head office wants
this done right away.
They wanna try and save
their third quarter.
Clint, they want you to lay
these people off
by the end of the month.
How many by the end
of the month?
Four.
Four, bill? Jesus Christ, four?
We gotta do this.
is better than 50.
No, you know what?
Call head office one more time.
See if there's anything
we can do. Please?
They're not gonna budge,
Clint.
Well, then those corporate
clowns can come down here
and tell them themselves.
Tell their families they don't
have jobs or money or any--
I'm sorry, bill. That's not you.
Okay? I get it.
Hey, Gary. What's going on?
There's some guy here,
says he's your brother.
Adam?
Yeah. Thanks, Gary.
I'll be right out.
Hey, Adam.
Hey.
I didn't expect you
to come here,
I thought we'd just meet
at the house.
I thought I'd just come by
and, you know,
see the place.
I hope you didn't wait
too long.
No, no. They gave
me some coffee.
You didn't drink it,
did you?
Heh. No.
This thing.
It's been there since
we were kids.
Yeah.
So you're doing dad's
old job, huh?
Well, sort of, I guess.
I'm head of operations.
Dad, uh...
Hated sitting
behind a desk, right?
Right.
I could take you on
a tour if you like.
Not that much has changed.
Sure.
All right.
But you'll have to wear
one of these, bud.
You know, on second thought
maybe I'll, uh...
Maybe I'll just see
you at the house.
I'm gonna take a drive
through town.
Yeah, okay. No problem.
See you in a bit.
Oh, hey.
Dinner is at 6:
30, all right?6:
30. Got it.Have I met uncle Adam before?
No.
No, you haven't, buddy.
I'm hungry.
I'm hungry, too.
Okay, fine. Let's eat.
Is that him?
Could be.
Stay right there.
Hey. You re late.
Yeah, sorry. I just...
Lost track of time.
I see.
Well, let's go
meet the family.
Hey, guys. This is
your uncle Adam.
Hi.
It s good to see you, Adam.
You too, Sophie.
Come on in.
Hey, buddy.
Hi.
How old are you?
Six. And she's my little sister,
and she's three.
Three, huh? Hi.
We almost got started
without you.
Well, thanks for waiting.
I went for a drive
around town today.
Just for old time's sake.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
It hasn't changed one bit.
What did you expect?
buildings and coffee shops?
A Starbucks maybe?
It's a simpler life, Adam.
Yeah.
What? I didn't say anything!
I know that look.
Man, I can t believe Bradley
is as big as he is.
Yeah.
You know he's gonna
be seven next summer?
Man.
Does he like hunting
as much as his dad?
Of course.
Mostly birds though.
Like, if he had to shoot a deer
he'd probably cry.
I think I'd bawl my eyes out
if I had to shoot a deer.
I'm serious.
You know, I can finish
up here.
Really?
You are excused.
Thank you.
I haven't done dishes
in about 10 years,
so I'm a little out
of practice.
Adam?
He's glad you're here.
"Ladies and gentlemen,
skinny and stout.
"I'll tell you a tale
i know nothing about.
"Admission is free,
so pay at the door.
Pull up a chair
and sit on the floor."
Does uncle Adam want
to stay for a while?
No, he's only gonna stay
for a quick visit.
Could I go hunting
with you?
No, sorry. Not this time,
buddy.
The deer are way, way up
in the mountain,
and it's gonna be a tough climb,
even for your old man.
But I really want to go
with you.
No, I know you do.
And I promise we'll go together
as soon as I get back.
But this is gonna be a really,
really long hike.
And hey, you know how
you like to play
with your little
sister sometimes?
Nope. Not at all.
Yeah, you do.
Anyway, that's kinda what
your uncle and I need.
We just need some time to
play by ourselves, all right?
Hmm.
I know.
Okay. Bedtime, buddy.
Where are you going?
I'm just gonna see some of
the guys in town at Lucy's.
Oh. Okay.
What?
Nothing.
Will you relax?
We're gonna be together
for six days.
I-i get it.
early tomorrow, all right?
I'll be ready.
6:
30 A.M.i got it.
I know, it's-- you know,
it's just-- you can uh--
I can what?
Lose track of time.
Will you take it easy?
It's a camping trip,
not a shuttle launch.
All right.
I wouldn't go to Lucy's
if I were you.
You'll end up getting drunk and
marrying one of the local gals.
I would have to be extremely
drunk to end up
with one of those town heifers.
Are you calling me
a heifer?
What? No, not you, i
mean--
come on, you know
what I mean.
You come home drunk,
I'm sending the kids
into your room at 6:00 A.M.
Sure.
Hey, you guys should do
a little um...
Redecorating in here.
It's been the same since 1986.
Start with that couch.
I like this couch.
Yeah, me too.
We should change
the wallpaper, though.
Do you want me to run
out to the truck
and get you a proper shirt?
I mean, what is that, anyway?
