so he keeps going

despite the pain.

He keeps tasting all this

wonderful flesh blood

not knowing it's his own.

That's how you

catch a fox;

he bleeds to death.

It's simple no bullets

and you can use

the knife again.

That's...

pretty horrible.

Oh no, no,

that's what we're like.

That's the ingenuity of man.

Well I don't remember

them teaching us

anything like that.

Well maybe I heard

it somewhere else;

I don't remember.

You want another drink.

No, I think I

gotta take a break.

And you...

can't afford to keep buying.

Disability comp.

Come on, you have

to have another.

I can't keep pace

with you Sherman.

Well that's one thing

I got on you then, isn't it?

Couple of more beers please.

I gotta sober up in here.

If I go in like this

Irene will shoot me.

$5,000 I'd shoot

my own mother.

laughs

What? No.

As god as my judge.

Oh man, that's

your problem see,

'cause god said

'thou shalt not kill'.

Not my god.

Shh...

You'd do that to

your own mother?

She's been dead for ages;

what's one more bullet?

laugh

Let's go get

some sleep.

Hey..

hey Irene?

There's no way.

Did you read anything

good today, Sherman?

Same old.

Maybe you should

try something new;

branch out a little.

Why?

I don't know;

variety,

expanded world view.

Well I like what

I like, ma'am.

Never been to a big

university like you.

Nothing wrong

with that.

You talk to your

sister about watching

the kids tomorrow night?

Yeah,

I did.

What'd she say?

She said,

'fine'.

She saw Raymond Saddler

in town yesterday.

Did he see her?

I don't know.

Hm, that could have

gotten ugly real quick.

Who's Raymond Saddler?

He's always been something

of a town bully

around here,

Saddler.

He married Irene

& Joan's mom

a few years after

their dad passed away,

treated

her terribly.

Kept her from her

kids and grand kids

and then all of a sudden

she was sicker than

any of us had been told and

after she died

we learned that

she left everything

to Saddler -

all the money,

property.

He swindled her when

she was at her weakest.

Swindled all of us.

And you guys just let

him get away with it?

No, we fought it in

the courts for a while.

You know, it just

gets to the point

where you're spending so

much energy on the past

you don't have much

left for the present.

And you and Frank here

know all about that, right?

How easy it is to waste one's

time harping on things

that have already happened.

Thank you

Hi. Hey.

I have to go.

Why?

I told Sherman I'd pick

him up and have a nightcap.
