[ barks viciously ]

That's a... Nice dog.

He's a wolf.

Oh, yeah ?

Well, you know,

there's a bounty

on wolves around here.

- That's too bad.

Well, uh, they

- Don't call me stupid.

- Hey, hey. Take it easy.

[ wolf growls ]

Look, we're not the enemy.

That's him. I mean,

Yeah.

There's a group of us.

What we're doing is,

we're trampin' together.

You hungry ?

Okay, you wanna get

some food ?

Get him some food too.

So, you're lookin' for

I haven't seen my old man

in three years.

seein' my old lady make

one potato go seven ways.

Hell, all my pa did

was beat on me.

I was glad when he left.

You know, once your folks

are gone, they may think

that they're comin' back,

But they figure it out

pretty quickly that they're

better off where they are.

Well, so are we.

You think that we need

them anymore ?

No. We got each other.

We're our own family.

- Oh, yeah.

- And, uh, everybody here...

Carries their share.

- Am I right ?

Hey.

Now, you listen to me,

little girl.

The way I see it is,

the rich just keep

gettin' richer.

If you're with us, you chip in
