MAN, ON TAPE:
To see you.
[WOMAN ON TAPE
REPEATS IN GERMAN]
To see you.
[REPEATS IN GERMAN]
To see you.
[REPEATS IN GERMAN]
To see you again.
[REPEATS IN GERMAN]
Nice to see you again.
[REPEATS IN GERMAN]
[TURNS OFF ENGINE]
It's nice to see you again.

# you're gettin' ready to work
# it seems you got
a bad connection #
MAN:
Hey!# no reception
# what will it take
to make you understand? #
# bad reaction,
what would... #
[TURNS OFF TAPE]
What are you doing?
I was falling asleep.
I thought it would be a good idea
to change the station situation.
It wasn't. I was
listening to that.
I know, but it's boring
for the rest of us.
I was falling asleep
doing work.
So what?
So... I want to play
this tape.
I want to play this tape to
get motivated and pumped up...
I know, I know, I know you want
to play that tape, but look.
You know what, lance? I'm
not here to start a fight.
That's not what I want to do,
But I need to listen to my
language tapes in order to become
Proficient and perform to
the best of my abilities.
What about... What about
the equal time agreement?
That doesn't apply to
studies and education.
What do you mean? The equal
time boom box agreement
Doesn't apply
in this case, all right?
That's just for recreation.
Oh, come on!
Hey! Don't push my
buttons, all right?
You are not the boss here.
I am the boss.
I hired you.
Now we have a lot
of work to do.
We could sit here arguing
about language and music
And blah-De-De-Blah, but we
got a lot of work to do,
We got a lot of lines to paint,
And it's a very long road.
machine and keep it going.
Ok.
Yeah.
Alvin.
Yeah?
You have your tool belt
on backwards.
[ENGINE TURNS OVER]
Let's just enjoy the silence.
[ENGINE ROARING]
ALVIN, VOICE-OVER:
Dear Madison,
Thank you for your
poetic letter.
[POUNDING STAKE]
There is so little
to do out here.
I must have read it
a hundred times.
Being out here helps me
see things more clearly.
Sometimes it's heaven,
sometimes it's hell,
But out-Of-Doors physical labor
is just what I need
After those endless
night shifts in garland,
Which certainly contributed to
our troubles during the spring.
I do feel much better,
although I miss you and olive.
I can't say I miss city life.
I was beginning to feel like I was one
of those heads carved into the mountains
Of those presidents of the
united states in the Dakotas,
I couldn't talk to.
As for your brother,
The countryside isn't
teaching him anything
Other than how much he misses
the big, active nightlife.
I think that you and the family need to think
of something else as far as his occupation.
He, quite realistically, could
never amount to anything.
How can you be his age
and not know how to gut a fish
Or build a tent or tie a knot?
Sometimes I wonder
if he is learning-Disabled
Or has a bad disease,
Not that I dislike him
or anything.
He's totally fine.
Alvin, I'm finished.
Hmm?
I'm done with this one.
Could I have another one?
Yeah, well, put that one back.
Ok.
Wait, you didn't do... You
didn't write in it, did you?
Yeah. I worked
the puzzle.
Oh, no... Don't do that.
Don't do that, please.
That's a collector's item.
It's an antique.
It's rare.
Do you understand?
I'm out here to have my things
treated well, with respect.
I get it.
I get it, yeah.
Do you, really?
Yeah.
You hearing?
You are hearing me?
Yes, yes.
I get it.
