- Pop!
- No. We ain't stopping the car again.
We don't wanna stop.
We want to know, are we good boys?
Yeah, yeah, you're good boys.
All right, Toby, give them a piece of candy.
Thank you.
- It ain't even.
- I know.
- Now it is.
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
You ain't gonna use that road,
are you, Pop?
Why not?
Well, that sign says "closed to the public."
We ain't the public,
we're part of the government.
They send me cheques.
I keep them busy and happy.
We're dependent on each other.
We ain't the public, Toby.
- Damn it, I lost my traction.
- Don't get upset, Pa, I'll lift her off.
You'll do nothing of the kind.
You're getting $63.80 a month...
...because the Army
totally disabled your back.
Now, how's it gonna look
...and you're lifting up an automobile?
My back don't feel totally disabled.
It don't matter how your back feels,
it's what the Army doctor says that counts.
I keep telling you, Pop, they examined me
right after my first judo lesson.
but it twisted back the next lesson.
- Toby, we'll get out.
- That's okay.
Didn't twist your back again, did you, son?
- No, sir, I just used mostly my hands.
- Good. Good.
It's hard to tell,
just from looking at one end.
- Hey, Pop?
- Yeah, Holly?
Listen, I've been taking notice.
We haven't passed a house...
...or even a gas station
the whole time we've been on this road.
Well, it stands to reason.
It's a brand new road.
The country ain't caught up with it yet.
Doesn't your gas gauge read "empty"?
When my gas gauge says "empty,"
it's still got three gallons left in it.
I can't understand it.
Where you going, son?
I'm gonna jog up the highway
and get some gasoline.
- You gonna do nothing of the kind.
- Why not?
One of those government
Highway Patrol wagons...
...is gonna come along here any minute.
Now, Pop, there won't be any patrolling
if this road doesn't go anywhere.
And why wouldn't this road
wanna go nowhere?
Maybe the government ran out of
money before they could finish it.
How many times do I have to tell you that
the government don't run out of money?
Only people run out of money.
Government's loaded.
Wake me up when that truck patrols by here.
All right, Pop.
Gee, Toby, it's gonna be getting dark
in a couple of hours.
I don't see how we can prevent it.
I'm awful thirsty. So are the children.
I'm sorry, Holly, but I don't happen to have
any drinking water on me right now.
I wonder what's keeping that patrol car?
- Toby.
- Yeah?
We could dig for some.
Well, there's always
what you call ground water...
...and it doesn't mix with the salt water...
...so if you dig down to the water level,
you can get the fresh.
Well, another thing I don't have on me
is a shovel.
Why, it's soft ground. All you need
is sort of a scoop or something.
There ought to be something around here
we could use.
- What about this?
- No, not your pop's fender.
Oh, I'll put it back on before he wakes up.
I hit one.
- You did not.
- I did so.
All right now, just keep throwing.
We need more coconuts.
Higher. Higher. That's good.
Higher. Higher.
- Hey, Pop, do you wanna try one?
- No, I don't wanna try one.
Keep hitting higher.
Here you go, Ariadne.
You're just as happy as a house cat,
ain't you?
Women like doing things for other people.
Don't men ever feel like that?
- What did I say that was so funny?
- Oh, nothing.
I was just remembering,
after your folks died, when Pop took you in.
