Joe Page #3

have to hit it three or four times.

Gotta get angry at the

tree, man. Get mad at it.

Yeah, I like that. Get mad

at it. Keep on working it.

Mad. Work with it, work with it!

Yes, sir. Get it!

Keep on with it,

youngster.

I like that, man.

Joe's been around, he's been

around a little bit, man.

He's got some things

up under his belt, man.

So I advise you,

when you do go to Joe,

keep it real with Joe. Don't

lie to him about nothing.

And one thing Joe is real

particular about, man-

don't never look down at the

ground. Look him in the face.

He likes to see a man's

eyes. You- one-on-one.

- That's how Joe is, man.

- Where you from?

- Everywhere.

- Everywhere?

Being a little bitty boy,

you been everywhere, huh?

Was your daddy in the

military or something?

Oh, yeah? All right. You got

a family? All right, then.

You know we ain't gonna cut you

no slack out here, don't you?

Just 'cause

you're young now,

you know we ain't

gonna cut no slack.

Everybody pull

their own load, baby.

Once we get this

filled up here,

we can kill us about a

hundred trees with this here.

Is killing trees

against the law?

Well, the

lumber company

can't cut 'em down

unless they dead,

and so the lumber

company hire us

to come in

and poison the trees

so we can kill 'em and they'll

come in and die theyself.

Yeah, I've been doing this

for a little minute now.

- Welcome to the program.

- Thanks.

The machete crew is the one that

comes through and clears it out.

Chop down at the angles.

Try to get as low

as you can.

You gotta clear the path

for your teammates.

Without you, none of

this is gonna happen.

Just keep hammering at it.

Nothing's stopping you.

You have to start out-

you'll probably be

the water man for

a little while, you know?

It's gonna look like you're

doing everything for everybody,

bringing 'em water. At the end,

you'll become a machete vet.

Samurai king,

right here.

- Waa-ah!

- Waa-ah!

Welcome to the crew.

You're the youngest.

Gotta crawl

'fore you walk.

Got a lot

of energy there.

- Hah!

- There you go.

- Samurai gods!

- Yah!

Crew! When y'all get

through this side over here,

we're going

to the west side.

All right.

Hey, Gary, you're

getting too far ahead.

Come on back here.

Help these fellas out.

You know what? You, you and

you, y'all did a good job today.

Why don't y'all

go ahead and get paid,

and I'll see y'all

Monday, all right?

Bill.

- Allan.

- Thank you, sir.

- And Gary, right?

- Yes, sir.

Gary, Gary, Gary.

Come back Monday.

Bring your daddy

if he wants to work.

Yes, sir, I will.

We'll be there.

Thanks.

Mama!

Hey, Mama,

guess what?
