Winter's Bone Page #4

Am I understanding that right?

Don't you dare.

Don't.

I want you to listen to me, child.

You need to turn around,

and get yourself on home.

Don't you make me come

out here and tell you again.

Ashlee Dawn, come inside.

Bring Brownie and Cupcake.

[banging on door]

[Man]

Ree, get out here!

Do you know there's people going around

saying you best shut up?

People you ought to listen to.

- Get your ass in the truck.

- Don't touch me.

- Get your ass in the truck.

- Get off!

Get in the truck.

Hey!

Would you rather I hit you, boy?

Sonny, get back in the house.

Cook them taters till they're brown,

then turn the stove off.

- Don't hurt my sister.

- Sonny!

Having balls is good, boy.

Don't let 'em get you hurt.

Sonny, get in the house.

Get your dumb ass in the truck.

- I'm not getting in there with you.

- Get in the truck.

There's something you need to see.

Jessup and me

may have had our tussles,

but he was my cousin.

It's always a bad deal

when these things blow.

Where are we going?

- Down the road.

- Down the road to where?

To someplace you need to see.

This right here is the last place me

or anybody seen Jessup.

He never blew no lab before.

I know it, but something

must have jumped wrong this time.

He's known for never f***ing up labs

or cooking bad batches.

He's known for knowing

what he's doing.

Well, you cook long enough,

this is bound to happen.

You're saying Dad's up there

burnt to a crisp?

That's what I'm saying.

l'm going up for a look.

No! That sh*t's poison.

lt'll rip the skin off your bones.

lf Dad's up there,

l'm bringing him home to bury.

Ree!

Ree, l know losing Jessup

leaves you all hurting over there.

l know it's a lot to handle.

We'll make do.

Sonya and me talked about it.

We feel we could take Sonny

off your hands.

Not Ashlee, I don't reckon,

but we could take Sonny.

You what?

We could take him and raise

him up the rest of the way.

My ass you will.

We'd raise that boy way better

than you and that

nut-job mama of yours can.

Maybe on down the line

we'd take Ashlee, too.

You go straight to hell, you son of a b*tch.

Sonny and Ashlee will die

living in a cave with me and Mama

before they spend one night with you.

God damn you.

You must think I'm a stupid idiot.

There's weeds growing

chin high in that place.

lt must have been a year

since that place blew.

Come here, look at this.

Ash, quit playing around. Come here.

This trigger shoots this barrel.

Now, there's hardly ever

gonna be a time where you need both,

but if you gotta kill something

big and mean, then you use both.

Now, this gun is what

you'll use when you're older,

but this one is the gun I learned on.
