The Chase Page #2

I got a right to know.

- You're not my father.

- I married your mother.

That didn't make you my father.

Well, she said sometimes

maybe I was.

You're lying.

She told me who he was,

and he's dead.

I don't want you

around here no more.

As soon as Bubber's out of the pen,

I'm gonna ask him to take you away.

Pay me my mother's part

of this business...

...and I will be out of here in one hour.

Man, I wish I could.

I sit here thinking...

...and sometimes I think I know

where I can find that money.

You just try it.

You try it, and you're not gonna live

an hour past it. You've got my word.

Howdy, Mrs. Reeves.

What is it?

I was wondering if I could come on in

and talk to you and Mr. Reeves.

Mr. Reeves, the sheriff's here.

Well, what is it?

I got a call a while ago

from the state farm...

...and Hearst says

that Bubber's busted out.

- Where is he?

- Well, we don't know.

What'll they do to him?

Howdy, Mr. Reeves.

Most likely, they'll catch him and send

him back and add to his sentence.

That's too bad, because Bubber

just had a few months to go.

And I figured that Bubber isn't gonna...

Well, he's got enough sense not

to come back here...

...but if you get in touch with him,

try and talk him into going back...

...because it'll be a whole lot

easier on him.

He escaped with

a real hard-knocked fella.

- I'm sorry about it, Mrs. Reeves.

- I don't believe you're sorry.

Mr. Reeves.

He won't come home.

No.

Do you think Anna

will hear from Bubber?

I don't want to hear her name.

I told you that.

I've been thinking and thinking.

What did I do wrong?

Other people had bad boys.

Leroy, Jake Rogers.

Jake Rogers.

They all grew out

of their boy meanness.

What did I do wrong?

- What are we gonna do tonight?

- Well, nothing would be nice.

It's Saturday night.

Why don't you ask Val Rogers

to ask us to his party.

- When he wants us, he'll ask us.

- He'll never ask us.

Never ask his own vice president.

I think it's a disgrace.

- Always asks the sheriff and Ruby.

- Now, Emily, it's not our business.

- Where's Damon?

- Go shopping or something.

Mr. Rogers doesn't much

like visitors around.

You got it ready?

Hello, Damon.

- I said, hello, Damon.

- Hello, Emily.

And now a happy birthday

to a great gentleman, Mr. Val.

- Thank you.

- Happy birthday, Mr. Rogers.

Thank you all very much. I'm really...

Thank you. Well, good day.

Have a pleasant weekend.

- Ask him. Go on.

- Mr. Rogers, before you go...

Edwin would like to invite you

to have a birthday drink with us.

- Just a few of us.

- Thank you, I'm having guests.

Yes, we all heard that.

Just thought you'd like to see

how the lower classes live.
