Two Men in Town Page #5

You hear me?

You did this?

Lost control, sorry.

Step out into the hallway, sir.

Back off.

Turn around, face the wall.

Put your hands behind your back.

You can go back to your rooms.

Shut the door.

It's almost curfew.

So this is what happens

after, what is it, two weeks?

I made a mistake.

The sheriff came to Teresa's

house today to humiliate me.

Wait a minute.

Agati came to Teresa's house?

What for?

I don't know.

You got to ask him.

Is there anything

that I can do to fix this?

Stay there.

Don't move.

Buy you another TV.

Yeah, but the game

starts in an hour.

He's still an a**hole.

Well, Allah says that

it's your lucky day.

He's not pressing charges.

Thanks to Allah.

So here's the deal.

You can either go back to jail,

or you buy him a new TV.

- $140?

- Yep.

Ha. Let that be a lesson.

Garnett, go back to your girl

and talk to her.

Been 18 years since I really

talked to a woman.

Tell her that, too.

Tell her everything.

Thanks for coming.

I spent 18 years in prison.

I killed a sheriff's deputy.

I've been away for half my life.

'An.

I didn't know how to talk

that well before I went in,

and I don't know how

to talk that well...

Now that I'm out.

I make these mistakes, you know,

just a stupid mistake.

Why am I here?

I have a simple life.

And I am fine with this.

I like to stay in this way.

I live 10 years in this country.

I got myself a good job.

I took out a loan and bought

a small house.

Maybe nothing

is so unique about this.

But I am happy-

And I intend

to keep it this way.

Excuse me.

Could you bring us

two cups of water, please?

- Yes.

- Thank you.

I pledge allegiance to the flag

of the United States of America.

And to the republic

for which it stands,

one nation, under God,

indivisible, with liberty

and justice for all.

My friends, we are

here today to celebrate

the return of a local hero.

- All right.

- Yeah.

Lieutenant Joe Corrales,

United States Army,

was awarded

the Bronze Star for valor

for actions taken

while under enemy fire

in Afghanistan.

Joe, your community,

and your country

are proud of you.

You epitomize

the American spirit.

And its willingness

to defend and sacrifice

to safeguard those principles

upon which she was founded,

life, liberty,

and the pursuit of happiness.

I am proud to stand here

with you today,

and your family and friends,

and the citizens of Luna County,

to say, "Welcome home."

Thank you for your service.

Okay, it's celebration time.

Enjoy. Everyone.

Now to get everybody plenty

of food, plenty of drink.

Nice to meet you.

- Hello.

- Oh, hey, Sheriff.

Glad you made it.

Emily Smith, my wife, Sheryl.

- Oh, very pleased to meet you.
