She's a lot more diplomatic

than you are, Hank.

I know I can

be a rough around the edges.

Excuse me... Hello?

Hold on a second. Hey

guys, she's my daughter, okay?

Good to go.

I just really hope what we're

doing is the right thing, Hank.

Hope isn't a plan, Roy.

And what we're

doing is putting her in

the best position to survive.

Janie was the glue.

After she died, I didn't

know how to raise em.

I was a shitty father.

I love em. You know I do.

I've know her since what,

since she was three years old.

And I remember

how it was with Janie.

And I'm gonna do

everything in my power

to help you bring

em back and give her a

long and healthy life.

Unhhh,

goddammit, let there be light.

I thought we made the

decision by bringing her here.

- Hey, Phillip, what's goin' on?

- I got my mom in the truck.

We just got

back from seeing my dad.

- Geez, Louise, that's just...

- It's been a tough year for you.

Yeah, it's been a rough one.

Look, I wanna thank you

for your help.

I know my mom...

She appreciates it too.

Well, you think about

what I said, okay?

I just sort of feel

responsible to make an

offer, you know, given as how

your dad was so good to me

when I was

getting started farming.

I tell ya, I wouldn't have been

nearly as successful

without his guidance.

I, I don't see how you

gonna be able to run this place

all by yourself.

Aagh, I don't know, I... It's

just I think my mom will want to

hold on to the farm, if we can.

Not that we don't

appreciate your help.

No, hey, hey, no,

don't feel bad about it.

You guys could stay here.

I could use the expansion

to be honest with you.

I really could.

We'd have to clean things

up around here though.

I mean, this place,

it's seen better

days, that's for sure.

I mean seriously, we need

a yard sale or somethin'.

"Cause I got, you know,"

I got a vision for this here.

This could

make an awesome, uh...

Well you just think about it.

Yeah, I don't...

Take your

time. Don't, don't go lookin'

for rats in the attic.

Alright, take care

of your mom, all right?

Yeah.

I know you will.

Yeah.

I know you will.

- We're gonna be all right.

- We'll be fine.

Even if we weren't,

it's not like that would

be my fault, since dad

sort of left us

in financial shambles.

What?

Okay.

Never go to

bed on your anger, right?

That's what you've always said.

I'm sorry.

Have a good night,

all right, mom? Love ya.

[Music simplifies as

it drifts away...]

I feel like we're stuck at

the beginning with her, Roy.

What happened the other

night? Did you ever go home?

- Oh, it's a nightmare.

- Perfectly common, right?

You know... same thing
