Still Mine Page #2
These were on the
plants not two hours ago.
There's no heat of the day in them at all.
Well, it's a head-office decision.
- Any wiggle room on this?
- Afraid not.
Well, that just means I'm sh*t out of luck.
I can't afford a refrigerated truck
for less than an acre.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry, I wish there was
something I could do about it.
Yeah. Me too.
It seems like there's some kind of
regulation for everything nowadays.
Never understood
why you can't just double the recipe.
- We could make a whole lot more.
- It doesn't work that way.
No. Old wives' tale.
- Craig...
- Hm?
Just because you have
a field of strawberries,
I'm not going to make 10,000 jars of jam.
Give them away.
Goddammit.
Here we go.
This reminds me
of my milk delivering days.
Back before I knew you,
I had a horse and a wagon.
Took over the route
from old man Lefebvre.
I know.
The water in the toilet
froze last night.
My bet is it's going to
freeze again tonight.
We've already been through
three cords of wood this winter.
Barely keeping this place warm.
Truth is, may not be much longer
before this place
doesn't work for us anymore.
The view's not all that great either.
- You sound like Ruth.
- Oh?
No, I'm not moving into town.
And you'll have to shoot me
before you find me in a retirement home.
The only view there
is of the slow shuffle into the ground.
That's not what I meant.
something smaller,
more manageable,
on that plot of ours across the road.
One level.
We don't have the money.
- This place isn't worth a thing.
- Mm.
And we're not taking a mortgage.
If I did the work myself,
With the strawberries
and the cattle gone,
I seem to have a lot more free time.
Promise me one thing.
Mm-hmm.
We won't move until we have to.
Fair enough.
' Dad!
Well, it looks like you got
another project in mind.
Are you the official spokesman
for all your brothers and sisters,
or just here by yourself?
A bit of both.
Well, that's nice.
No, we just felt awful
if it wasn't mentioned
that you could get someone else
to build it for you.
No. Don't have the money.
Dad, you're sitting on 2,000 acres.
- Sell off a piece.
- You know as well as I do,
if you're going to live here
you need a big land base.
Big land base, yeah.
Besides, nothing's stopping me
from doing the work.
Except that you're in your eighties.
Well, Son, way I look at it,
age is just an abstraction,
not a straightjacket.
The truth is...
I'm sort of looking forward to it.
I haven't had a big project
like this in quite a while.
Fair enough.
