Dream Boy
Welcome. I hope
you'll come back to us.
We will.
Thank you, Brother.
So nice to meet you.
You too, sir.
What is it?
Nothing.
[Engine turns over]
NATHAN:
We used to livein Lake Charles,
but my dad got a job
We live by the lake on Poke's Road.
Well, welcome, Nathan.
And thank you.
It doesn't look like your daddy's
gonna make it home for dinner.
Father, we come to You
in the name of Jesus.
We pray for each other's needs
as we know them to be,
and, Father, as you know them to be.
Give us the courage and ability
to be a strong witness for You.
Why don't you come sit up here?
I got so much stuff to do
on top of my homework,
I'm about to go crazy.
You have to work?
I got chores to do for my dad.
at church.
And I got this paper to write
in English,
and I don't want to.
I'm good at that kind of stuff.
You are?
I like English.
Well, I'll come over later,
and you can help me.
It's about railroads.
The paper is.
I could help you
with some other stuff, like math.
I'm pretty good at math.
Okay.
See ya.
Bye.
[Horse neighs]
Yeah, I wanna go.
I like Brother Will.
I like him better
than Preacher Rutherford.
All he does is talk about sinners
and going to hell.
I'm tired.
I was dancing all day.
You gotta let me come
watch you practice some time.
You want a ride?
Yeah.
All right.
[Engine turns over]
You sure it's okay?
Yeah, I was just
finishing up my homework
while you were doing your chores.
Mrs. Johnson says
you skipped a grade.
You're supposed to be
pretty good at English,
even if you are younger than me.
I just hate to write stuff.
I like it okay.
I copied this down
from the World Book Encyclopedia.
There's a lot of information here.
You should really
narrow down your topic.
What about just "steam engines"?
All right.
something to drink.
Thank you, Ma'am.
I guess I ought to be embarrassed,
getting a kid like you
to help me with my homework.
I take English with the juniors.
That's just one grade below you.
I'm not a kid.
Why, I didn't mean it bad.
I just mean you're a bit
younger than me, that's all.
I appreciate the help.
You'll like living out here
in the summertime.
It's real peaceful.
Nobody comes around.
Is it okay to walk in the woods?
Yeah, I go out there all the time.
There's some great places out there.
Camping grounds,
Indian burial mounds.
There's even a haunted house
and stuff.
I'll show you.
I bet you have a lot of work to do
because it's a farm.
Yeah. It's all outdoor stuff.
I like that.
What about you, Nathan?
Did you ever live on a farm before?
No. We lived in towns mostly before.
But my dad wanted to live
in the country this time.
So, why'd you move out here?
Nobody moves to St. Francisville.
Well, my dad got a job.
He's selling tractors in Shenandoah.
You sure do like this school stuff,
don't you?
It's all right, I guess.
I don't see how anyone
could like school.
Beats staying home all the time.
So you stay at home too much, huh?
We can fix that.
NATHAN'S MOM:
Nathan,it's almost bedtime, sweetheart.
It's good.
Thanks, Nathan.
[Cow lows]
You want to hold on
to these for me?
Hey, Nathan.
Hi.
Hey, my dad's got a new Marlin.
She got some real kick to her.
We should check it out this weekend.
Do us some deer huntin'.
You ever been huntin' before,
Nathan?
No.
You should come.
Even if you don't kill anything,
hunting's fun.
We should go out for the whole
weekend and camp out.
I mean, we've been talking
