You gotta leave!

You gotta get out of here.

- What?

- No, please, just get out of here now.

- Who's that'?

- Get out of here, please! Leave!

- Dawson! You're hurting me!

- Leave!

- Don't ask any questions. Get out! Now!

- Why do I have to go?

- Go, go, go! Go, please!

- OK, Dawson.

- OK.

- Go!

OK!

Time to come home, Dawson.

You didn't introduce us

to your girlfriend.

That's that Collier girl, Pop.

You know her.

- Collier girl.

- Yes, sir.

All right, get your stuff,

put it in the truck.

- You're coming home with us.

- No, I'm not.

I ain't gonna tell you again,

boy.

I have had it with you, Dawson!

You're all puffed up,

you're thinking that you're special.

Well, let me ask you something?

Do you really believe that that girl

is gonna have anything to do with

a white trash piece of sh*t like you?

No. Come on.

Get your stuff, put it

in the truck and let's go.

You touch him again,

the next one will kill you.

Now, I've come here for my boy

and I ain't leaving without him, so...

I guess you're gonna

have to shoot me.

All right.

That windshield is gonna

cost you about $1,000.

And those floods run about

$500 each.

Do you want me to keep going?

Go on now.

This is nice.

What you've done here.

Your wife plant these?

Get in the truck, Ted.

If I stay, they'll come back.

ljust shot up a $17,000

pick-up truck.

About broke my heart to do it.

They'll be back

whether you're here or not.

Not safe for you to sleep out here

anymore. I'll fix you a place inside.

Well, come on.

Dawson...

- What are you doing?

- I had to see you.

- Well, come in.

- That's not a good idea.

- I need to talk to you.

- OK.

- Wait, what are you doing?

- I mean, if you're not gonna come in.

- My parents think y0u're dangerous.

- They're right.

Sooner or later, I'm gonna have

to pay for what happened today

and I can't have you standing

next to me when I do, OK?

- I can't have you getting hurt.

- I'm not gonna get hurt.

You hang around with me

long enough and you will.

I don't care! I don't care!

I mean, Dawson, do you want this?

Do you want me?

I do.

I do.

All right.

- Just give me one second.

- Sure thing.

You work here?

No, sir. Just picking up

some stuff for my uncles.

You look a lot like

an old friend of mine.

- People tell me I look like my dad.

- Yeah'?

Bobby Cole'?

You knew him'?

Goddamn it, Aaron. How many

times I gotta tell you that you...

Well, as I live and breathe.

The Prodigal Son returns.

You might wanna stay away from

that sh*t. Good talking to you.

It's been a longtime,

Dawson!

About 2O years?

Thank you.
