Uncle John Page #5

Synopsis: John is a kindly, well-liked old man in a small rural town. John has just killed a man named Dutch. Dutch had done a lot of bad things to a lot of nice people. Nobody in town would think to implicate John - nobody but Danny, Dutch's violent drunk of a brother. John's nephew Ben arrives from Chicago on an impromptu trip to his hometown as his uncle struggles to evade Danny's growing suspicions and looming threats. In this masterfully acted tale of small-town intrigue, one man's need for revenge may cost many more their lives.

Yeah.

Plenty of reason for that,

lately.

I've never seen a guy

so upset in my entire life.

That vision or whatever

just scared the sh*t out of him.

Yeah, I know.

I heard about that.

You know, he had quite a bit

to say to a few people

in particular.

Did he come see

you the other evening?

I haven't talked to Dutch in...

In a long time.

To be honest, you know,

there's a lot of people in town

have been pretty worried about

him for the last few weeks.

Well...

Like I said, I'll, uh...

I'll just let you be.

You know, I'm sitting here

because this is

where they found his truck.

So, I figure,

this is where he bought it.

And they say from time to time

that the killer

will come on back to the scene

of the crime, you know.

Oh... yeah.

So, the past few evenings,

I've just been sitting here

having a few smokes

and seeing who drives by.

Well, pretty...

Pretty busy road, Danny,

you know?

You must have seen a lot

of people passing by.

Oh, yeah, quite a few.

Oh, boy. More changes?

Yes, correct, correct.

- Are you filling him in?

- Yeah.

All right, look. I'm... I'm leaving

...Leaving to my car right now.

Where am I meeting you?

No, no, no, no. Just text me.

No, just... just text me.

I'm not writing it down.

Hey, listen.

I got a dinner.

I'll be home later.

You post that.

Call you when I get home.

Yeah, sure.

Well, that guy is, um...

What are the changes?

Uh... headband.

Huh?

The yogurt cup

is getting a headband.

- Cool.

- Totally cool.

All right,

I'll get us some dinner.

Wow.

- Hey.

- This looks great, thank you.

Yeah, of course.

I hope beer's okay.

Yes, of course.

Well?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

These are cute.

I know, right?

How about this?

Did you know kumquats are served

during Chinese spring festival?

Uhhuh.

Um, did you know that in winter,

most parts of China

are quite cold?

It doesn't say that.

It does.

That's a true fact.

Wow, well...

Now you know.

Now you know.

Uh... looks like there's just one

of those.

Do you want it?

Oh, no, I can't do raw shrimp.

It's okay. It's not.

It's not?

If it was raw, it'd be blue.

Oh, god, you're right.

I'm and idiot.

Uh... well, do you want it?

- No, you have it.

- You ever had it?

Yeah.

It seems like you're lying.

- I always thought it was raw.

- Well, you should have it.

- No.

- Have it.

- No.

- It's great.

Okay.

Graceful.

Yeah, I'm just gonna do that.

What do you think?

Mm.

Oh.

Mm.

Kate.

Kate.

Sh*t.

Uh, it's posted.

It's in right now.

All right,

let's get out of here.

Yeah, let's.

This is me.

Well, that sucked,

but you were great. Thanks.

Yeah, the failing is mutual.

The feeling... the feeling

and the failing,
