Frogs Page #5

of weeks a year.

"Yes, sir" and "no, sir"

all day long.

The only one

that matters is him.

What about me?

Shouldn't your wife come first?

Now, listen to me.

I said listen to me.

Now,

that old man is not gonna live forever.

And that means a million

dollars or more to me.

All we have to do is just

play our cards right.

I don't think that I can stand...

Just shut your mouth!

Pickett?

Hi.

You all right?

Sure.

Just looking around

a little bit.

I'm getting like jenny.

The frogs are driving me crazy too.

It's like a different

world out here at night.

This place must seem like a

different place to you day or night.

How long you been doing this?

What?

Taking pictures.

The only real job I've ever had.

Do you always work outdoors?

Whenever I can.

You must really like it.

Yeah, I like it.

Why?

Well, it lets me travel a lot.

See a lot of country.

Meet some good people.

I'm on my own time.

Nobody on my back.

Freedom, I guess.

What were you and grandpa

talking about tonight?

- Nothing. Just talking.

- Did you have to close the door?

When you came back tonight,

I knew something had happened.

Now, what was it?

Come on, Pickett. Tell me.

What is going on here that grandpa doesn't

think his own family is entitled to know?

I just don't know what it is.

All right.

It's getting damp out here.

I'm going inside. You wanna come?

No, you go ahead.

I'll see you in the morning.

All right.

Good night.

Good night.

Happy birthday, grandpa.

Happy fourth of July, grandpa.

I thank you, children.

Getting all ready for the excitement?

When do we get to do the roman candles?

And the sparklers?

When it's time. When it's dark.

After the birthday cake.

You're old enough

to know that by now.

Don't just stand there.

Go off and play somewhere. Okay.

Another year gone by, Mr. Crockett.

Another happy day for everybody.

Yeah.

Thank you, Maybelle.

Another year ended,

another year beginning.

- Charles seeing to the decorations?

- Oh, yes, sir.

Anybody seen Clint?

God forbid I should come

before his training program.

Not quite like it was

in college, huh?

That's just the trouble,

grandfather.

It's just like it was

in college.

Jenny, perhaps you'd like to

help with the decorations.

If you've got the time.

Thank you.

I'd love to.

Uh-Oh. Something tells me

it's the fourth of July.

Or the Martians have landed.

Well, at least

they didn't start before 8:00.

Obviously some of the family

haven't heard them yet.

Did you rest well, Mr. Smith?

Yes, I did. Thank you.

Is there anything you need?

Nothing.

Well, I'm going to mend my net.

I'll see you all later.

Welcome to another day

in the life of the Crocketts.
