things worked out.

Well, that way you don't

even have to think about it.

We moved on from on

just feeding seed.

We stock or can stock almost

every medication, antibiotics,

hormone, herbicide, you

name it that you've used.

She's excited.

Hadn't been out in a while.

Well, we should be supplying

you with most of your stuff

like we used to.

Gigas sells me my

feed same as you did

and they unload my products.

I get what I need,

doesn't get easier.

They're squeezing you.

They're squeezing you too.

You might as well

be a tenant farmer.

At least I'm

still in the black.

Scratch, we need the work.

Like I told Frank, I got a

little job you could do for me.

I've been using every bit of

persuasion and charm I have--

You think we're just going

to wish our problems away?

...to keep Scratch and every

other client we still got.

[bell ringing]

BETTY:
What was that job

Scratch was talking about?

FRANK:
It's not

on the up and up.

BETTY:
Why would he come to

us with something illegal?

And then think that we would

do something like that?

Margins are tight, some

people are willing to bend.

[children yelling]

I'm close with McKibbin.

How much is the system worth?

Phew, more than

10 house payments.

He was impressed, he

was real impressed

when I talked him through it.

He said he just had

to run the numbers.

There he is.

ELENA:
'Course I'll do it.

Ickentas.

I'm not a chicken.

[speaking spanish]

No, you get in.

You don't know how to swim?

'Course I do.

Eat it.

No.

Put it in your mouth.

Ew.

Chicken.

ELENA:
Chicken.

Thought you might have some

questions about the system.

Oh, your demo

was very thorough.

Well, I'd love to go over it

again with you, Mr. McKibbin.

Oh, that's all right.

All right, you ready to

write that check then?

Come on, Frank.

You know the deal.

Oh, I'm giving it to

you at nearly cost.

I can't do any better.

I buy the system from

Gigas, they buy my home.

I need this one.

It's just the way it is.

[child shouting]

Indian summer.

Close your eyes.

Come on.

Close 'em.

Let's see now.

Does-- does it go in here?

No?

OK, maybe it goes in here.

Stop.

Does it go here?

500?

Down payment on the

system from McKibbin.

It's a done deal.

Frank.

[exhale]

You gonna finish that in time?

That don't look

like a pirate vest.

Looks more frontier boy.

I'm gonna whip you,

you keep that up.

Looks like it's

moving or something.

Yeah?

It's good.

Thanks.

FRANK:
But it's not real.

I ought to make you come

out with me some time.

You need to see what it's

like to get your hands dirty.

You're right.

There's a real future for

me in the family business.

I want that tech school

application in my hands
