They kill 'em!

Which, it might surprise you

to learn, I am against.

I'm not sure if they do kill

fagots down in Cuba, Dixon.

I know Cuba's human rights

record is pretty deplorable

when it comes to homosexuality,

but killing 'em?

Are you sure you ain't thinking of Wyoming?

Always with the smart-ass...

- Jesus.

He's quite good, isn't he?

Willoughby's a good man. Hey look at me.

Hey look at me.

I'm talking nice to you now, am I?

I'm talking nice to you.

He shouldn't have this be the

only thing he thinks about,

the last months left to him.

The last months what?

Oh. You didn't know.

Yeah. Pancreatic.

I'm up next

if any of you ole ladies ever quit yakking.

- Rude.

- Hey Mildred.

Saw you on TV the other day.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah, you looked good.

I mean, y'know,

you came across really good,

in the things you were saying.

I didn't think you came across really

good in the things you were saying.

I thought you came across stupid-ass.

Ain't it about time you got

home to your momma, Dixon?

No it ain't time I got home to my momma.

I told her I was gonna be

out 'til twelve. Actually.

Jesus!

Me versus. You, Mildred!

Hey Robbie? I think that midget

wants to get in my pants...

Father Montgomery.

Mildred. I'm sorry for

calling on you so late, but.

I must say Robbie's been

the consummate host.

Despite his having, he was just telling

me, something of a tricky day at school.

Oh, no, just some of the guys

on the team was giving me crap.

Crap about what?

About the billboards, Mildred.

Which is, uh, kind of what I've

come to have a word with you about,

Oh. Proceed.

I know how hard it's been for you, Mildred,

this past year. We all do.

And if there's ever anything that you need,

we'll be there for you. Always.

But the town also knows what kind

of a man William Willoughby is.

And the town is dead set against

these billboards of yours.

Took a poll, did ya, Father?

You know Mildred, If you hadn't

stopped coming to church,

you'd had a little bit more understanding

of the depth of people's feelings.

I had more than a dozen people

come up to me on Sunday.

So, yes, I took a poll.

Everybody is with you...

about Angela.

Nobody is with you about this.

Y'know what I was thinking about today?

I was thinking 'bout

those street gangs they

got in Los Angeles, the

Crips and the Bloods?

I was thinking about that

buncha new laws they

came up with, in the

1980's I think it was,

to combat those street-gangs,

those Crips and those Bloods.

And, if I remember rightly, the gist

of what those new laws were saying was

if you join one of these gangs,

and you're running with 'em,

and down the block from you one

night, unbeknownst to you,
