Lilies of the Field

My car's thirsty.

Can I please have some water?

God is good.

He has sent me a big, strong man.

He didn't say anything to me about it.

I was just passing.

But you did not pass.

That is your... your car?

That's my home.

You fix und dann habe ich...

I have something you do.

I thank you very kindly, ma'am, but

I got places to go. Thanks for the water.

If it's for hire,

you got yourself one man for one day.

- Hire?

- You want me to work for you?

For hire means for money. I could build

a better fence than your girls.

Schwester Gertrude. Schwester Albertine.

Schwester Elizabeth. Schwester Agnes.

I am Mother Maria.

Pleased to meet you all. You've got a nice

family, ma'am. My name is Homer Smith.

- Homer...?

- Homer Schmidt.

Oh, Schmidt!

Herr Schmidt, no fence.

We do that ourselves.

Up there. The roof.

- You fix?

- It couldn't be leaking on a day like this.

- Roof only leaks when it rains.

- Was?

I'm only kidding. I'll fix it good.

- You use this.

- No, thanks. I've got my own.

(exclaim in German)

Can't do good work without good tools

and if you hire me, you get good work.

Hire.

Schwester, das Bett in die Scheune.

- What's that?

- The bed you sleep.

- No. I got my own arrangements.

- You sleep in here?

Schwester, tragen Sie die Sachen zurck

ins Haus. Schmidt schlft in seinem Auto.

No, no, you got it just a little bit wrong.

The job is finished,

so you pay me and I take off.

- Take off?

- Thatta way.

You have such a hurry?

I'm hungry. I figured I'd find me a chilli

wagon and log another hundred miles.

We were not put on the earth

to hurry, Schmidt.

For supper, I ring the bell.

Schmidt!

Jesu Christ, sei unser Gast und segne,

was du bescheret hast.

Amen.

Himmlischer Vater...

Mge das Essen, das du uns gibst,

Homer Schmidt stark machen,

damit er deinen Willen erfllen kann.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Himmlischer Vater,

wir danken dir fr deinen Segen.

- Amen.

- Amen.

- You folks really eating off the land.

- Was?

Er sagt, wir leben

von den Frchten des Landes.

Oh, ja! Ja!

God sets a mighty poor table.

Soon we will have vegetables too.

And sometimes chicken.

- Well...

- You smoke?

- Yes, ma'am.

- You smoke is all right.

- I think I'd better be rolling.

- Do not make hurry.
