North Country Page #4

All right, back to work, slacker, come on.

Boy Scout.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Do you even know

what's going on out there?

Sweetheart, this country's

elected a president...

...who's letting the world flood

our market with cheap steel.

We're knee-deep in layoffs.

Mines are closing left and right.

What's this got to do with Earl

laying hands on Sherry like that?

Are you hearing a word

of what I'm saying?

You're taking jobs

where there aren't any to take.

These boys aren't your friends.

I'm not your friend.

You got no business being here

and you damn well know it.

But you're not hearing that, are you?

So let's try something new.

How about:
Work hard, keep your

mouth shut and take it like a man.

All right.

Maybe I'll go see Mr. Pearson.

He said come to him if I had a problem.

No, you don't see Pearson.

I see Pearson.

You know? When you've got a real

problem, take it up with me...

...and I'll be happy to help.

All right?

You know, it's a shame that

this stuff is toxic as hell.

Otherwise, it would be good

to put a little...

You know?

You like a little Boy Scout love,

don't you?

You know, the key is in the lube.

Otherwise, it's just a bunch

of squealing and moaning...

You should see your face, Josey.

Why, you...?

Why, you think I'm serious?

I'm just f***ing with you.

Where's your sense of humor?

Honey, you gotta get a gator's skin on,

you're gonna work in this stinkhole.

Just promise me something,

do not go to Arlen with this one.

Keep whining and moaning.

We're doing the exact thing

they want us to do.

Screw that. We can take

any crap they dish out, can't we?

I just don't want them to have

any reason to get rid of you, is all.

Glory?

I don't know how

I'm ever gonna thank you.

- Oh, what for?

- For this.

First time in my life

I'm making my own money.

I can feed my kids.

I'm gonna get us our own place.

I just feel like for the first time

in my life, like I'm...

You're living?

Yeah. Living.

She asking for alimony?

No. She's offering to pay me alimony.

You taking it?

Hey, I already feel like half a man,

I should wear a miniskirt too?

Come on!

Hey, don't drink them all yourself, huh?

Ah, don't dare me.

Ready to meet my girl yet?

- She's that one, blond, skinny one.

- One more time!

What do you think?

I'm taking a break

from women for a while.

"Taking a break."

What is that, New York talk?

- It's like, regroup.

- Re-what?

That's what old Bill here says

he's doing back in town. Regrouping.

They must have a whole

other language in New York.

Oh, yeah, I brought you

something back from New York.

Well, now we're having a conversation.

Shooters.

- No, I didn't order these.
