COACHMAN:
Hyah! Hyah!
( child moaning )( moaning continues )
*********
( clacking )( horses approaching )
MAN 1:
Go around that way.
MAN 2:
Get to the back.
MAN 1:
You two, come with me.
STEVEN:
Don't worry, son. You just be real quiet for me. Don't make a sound.
BILLY:
What's happening?
MAN 2:
Get yourself in.
STEVEN:
Get out of my house.
MAN 1:
Keep your nose out of our business.
STEVEN:
How dare you? What do you think you're doing?
MAN 1:
I'm warning you!
STEVEN:
Stop!
MAN 1:
Stay out of this.
***********
COACHMAN:
Hyah!
MAUDE:
Go back to sleep, child. Your dreams are obviously more entertaining than this coach ride. Just a little exercise for my rheumatism darling... unless, of course you indulge in games of chance. I didn't think so. Lordy, lordy.
**********
COACHMAN:
Watch yourself, Mister.
MAN:
Stage is in town. The stage is here.
COACHMAN:
Whoa.
MARY:
Billy! Oh! Oh, sweetheart. Oh, I missed you so much. Let me look at you. You're getting so big.
COACHMAN:
Good boy you got there ma'am. Didn't give me an ounce of trouble.
MARY:
Well, of course. He's my son. Thank you for watching him. I couldn't wait for your school holiday to begin. I missed you so much! I know. I already said that. Oh! We are going to have so much fun together. Oh, baby, you must be tired.
BILLY:
I'm okay.
MARY:
Yeah. Let's go.
MAN:
Well, come on, give me a hand.
MAUDE:
Well? Be careful with my luggage. It's genuine French leather.
MAN:
Let me give you a hand there, Ma'am.
MAUDE:
Thank you, Sir.
VIN:
Who the hell needs that much stuff?
JOSIAH:
Now, that, my friends, is proof there is a God.
VIN:
Amen, Brother.
EZRA:
Mother?
JOSIAH:
Mother?! I always thought Ezra was raised by wolves.
**********
MARY:
...and your grandfather said you've been such a good boy. I am so proud of you.
WHEELER:
Is that little Billy Travis? No, that can't be. He couldn't have gotten so big in just one year.
MARY:
You remember Mr. Wheeler, don't you? He owns the hotel. He's a little tired from the ride.
WHEELER:
Oh, probably hungry, too. Well, what say we get my cook to hustle up some sandwiches for you?
MARY:
Yes. That sounds like a fine idea.
WHEELER:
Well, come along. You can tell him what you want.
MARY:
Hey... You want to wait inside while I get the sandwiches? I'll be right back then, but I'm going to miss you.
CHRIS:
What do you think? Think that looks like a horse? It's yours.
ELLIOT:
Too bad you had to come back to town. You say one word and I'll kill your mother. I'm the devil! She can't hide from the devil.
MARY:
Billy!
COACHMAN:
Get out of the way!
MARY:
Billy! Oh, my... oh, God!
CHRIS:
You all right?
MARY:
Oh...!
*********
NATHAN:
Yeah, it looks all right, ma'am. I think his nerves are just a little razzled up. A long ride and a near miss with a wagon will do that to a boy.
MARY:
What were you thinking, Billy running into the street like that?
BILLY:
I want to go back to Grandpa's.
MARY:
What's the matter, Honey?
BILLY:
He... he's going to get you.
MARY:
Well, who's going to get me?
BILLY:
The... the devil.
MARY:
Honey, have those nightmares been coming back? Your grandma said they went away.
NATHAN:
Maybe coming back home stirred them up again.
BILLY:
But I saw him.
MARY:
Where did you see him, sweetheart? I know you miss your father as much as I do but sometimes forgetting everything just makes it worse. Maybe we need to just... talk a little bit. Billy...
BILLY:
Go away.
NATHAN:
Uh, Miss Travis I think the boy could use a little rest.
MARY:
I'll be out here.
**********
MAUDE:
Well, this is a sweet little town, Ezra.
EZRA:
Wonderful. Just what I want to hear.
MAUDE:
What on earth are you talking about?
EZRA:
Mother, what are you doing here? Did something happen in St. Louis?
MAUDE:
Well, things got a bit complicated there.
EZRA:
Oh, really?
MAUDE:
I thought it prudent to disappear for a while. Your letters spoke of this town's potential.
EZRA:
I knew I should have left off my return address.
ELLIOT:
Oh, madam... might this belong to you?
MAUDE:
Thank you, kind Sir. I hadn't realized I had dropped it.
ELLIOT:
Not at all.
EZRA:
A handkerchief? The oldest ruse in the book.
MAUDE:
One can always rely on the classics. Appearances are everything, darling.
EZRA:
Rare masonry from ancient Rome. Very valuable.
MAN:
Mm-hmm.
**********
MARY:
Mr. Larabee? I'm in your debt for saving my son. I know this may be a bit... presumptuous of me to ask. Well, I was hoping that you might be willing to have a little talk with Billy.
CHRIS:
Talk?
MARY:
You see, he's... never spoken about the night his father was killed.
CHRIS:
Well, I can understand that.
MARY:
But I think he needs to or... it'll keep haunting him.
CHRIS:
You think he saw what happened that night?
MARY:
I hope not... but the loss of his father alone is enough to... well, he, uh... he hasn't been the same since. That's partly why I sent him to live with his grandparents. There's too many ghosts here.
CHRIS:
Could be he just needs a little more time. Best to just leave him be.
MARY:
No, we've done that, and he hasn't gotten any better but when I saw him with you earlier-- the way he looked at you-- he even smiled.
CHRIS:
I don't know, Mary. I'm just not sure I'd be much help.
MARY:
All right.
**********
JD:
You know, I can do rope tricks, too. You want to see some?
VIRGINIA:
Um, maybe later, JD
JD:
Well you sure? I got it right here.
BUCK:
Hey, Kids.
VIRGINIA:
Hey, Buck!
BUCK:
Hey.
VIRGINIA:
How are you?
BUCK:
I'm fine, Miss Virginia. Thank you kindly.
VIRGINIA:
Me and Sugarplum were hoping that we'd see you on our ride today.
ELLIOT:
Virginia... I need your help inside.
VIRGINIA:
Yes, Papa.
BUCK:
Ma'am.
JD:
What are you trying to do to me, Buck?
BUCK:
Hey, can I help it if I've got animal magnetism?
JD:
Animal what?
BUCK:
Animal magnetism. I read about it in a magazine. It's-it's-it's a power I've got no control over. Once women get a whiff of it What can I do?
JD:
Take a bath?
ELLIOT:
Mr. Wilmington... I know my daughter may seem very mature but perhaps you should keep company with people your own age.
BUCK:
Sir.
ELLIOT:
Keep an eye on him.
BUCK:
Sometimes this animal magnetism, it's a curse.
**********
MAUDE :
(laughing ) He takes his little skirt, and he puts it on the poor dog and makes her dance the cancan--
( all chuckling )
MAUDE:
Full house-- and I said, "Ezra, honey you better be careful. Elsie's going to bite you," but he keeps dancing around and 'round until she goes... ( barks )
( all chuckling )
MAUDE:
And she nips him on the kisser. So he pulls off her skirt, and he says "Well, fine, then, you'll just have to dance naked."
VIN:
Ezra... we're just hearing about you and your dog.
JD:
The naked dancer.
EZRA:
If you'll excuse us, gentlemen. My mother needs her rest.
MAUDE:
My, my.
JOSIAH:
She looks just fine to me.
VIN:
She done cleaned us out.
EZRA:
Well, how about that?
MAUDE:
Well, I thank you gentlemen for the libations.
JOSIAH:
Uh, you need some help carrying my money?
MAUDE:
( laughing ) I think I can handle it.
JOSIAH:
Good night, Maude.
MAUDE:
Good night.
EZRA:
I've never had a dog named Elsie and I certainly never dressed her up.
MAUDE:
Well, it's still an adorable story.
JOSIAH:
All right, gentlemen this game is called read 'em and weep.
VIN:
I'm out.
JD:
I'm already weeping.
JOSIAH:
This game is called solitaire.
*********
( Billy fitfully moaning )( wood rhythmically clacking )( horses approaching )
MAN:
Go around that way. You two, come with me.
STEVEN:
Don't worry son. You just be real quiet for me. Don't make a sound.
BILLY:
What's happening?
( feet scuffling )
STEVEN:
You're making a mistake.
MAN:
You keep your nose out of our business.
STEVEN:
Don't do this, Frank.
MAN:
I'm warning you.
STEVEN:
Stop!
MAN:
Stay out of this. Let's get out of here.
**********
MARY:
Billy?! Billy?! Billy, where are you?! Billy!
VIN:
Miss Travis...
MARY:
Billy!
VIN:
Miss Travis, what's wrong?
MARY:
He's gone! I woke up, and he was gone!
VIN:
Miss Travis...
MARY:
Billy!
VIN:
He's probably just wandering around town.
**********
CHRIS:
You'd better stay.
MARY:
But I want to help.
CHRIS:
What if he comes back?
MARY:
I don't know. Maybe you're right.
NATHAN:
We looked all over town. He ain't here.
BUCK:
He's probably just hiding. I was pretty good at that myself when I was a boy.
NATHAN:
Well, let's give it a second try you being the expert and all.
MAUDE:
Since when do you go riding after little runaway boys?
EZRA:
Well, the kid's mother wields considerable influence around here. It'll be good to have her owing me a favor.
MAUDE:
That's my boy. Always working an angle.
JD:
Where do you want us to start looking?
VIN:
Why don't you start at Baker Pass then head south from there.
JOSIAH:
Ma'am.
CHRIS:
Mary? We'll find him.
MAUDE:
Kids... you just never know what kind of crazy thing's going to get into their heads. Why, when Ezra was a little boy he got his hands on a tomahawk playing Injun or some such thing. Next thing I know, his little cousin's fingers are all... Well, honey,
it all worked out in the end.
**********
NATHAN:
He ain't up here, Buck. I don't know where he is.
BUCK:
I don't know. He ain't here, either. Nathan... you're a doctor-type fella, aren't you?
NATHAN:
Yeah, I suppose.
BUCK:
Uh-huh. You heard about this animal magnetism thing, haven't you? I mean, women-- they can smell it on you. Now, medically speaking if a man's got it, it's not his fault, right? I mean, it's more like a condition. It's... it's like a rash or an ailment. It won't ever go away, will it? It won't... will it?
**********
MARY:
( sighs ) I should've seen this coming. I should've done something.
MAUDE:
By the time you're my age you realize there's a million things you should have done, and each one will stick you in the heart like a knife.
MARY:
You're saying it never gets easier?
MAUDE:
Never. But once in a while you'll see something you did right and it helps. It does, it helps a lot.
WHEELER:
Any luck, Mrs. Travis?
MAUDE:
Why, didn't I see you at the hotel?
WHEELER:
Well, very likely, since I own it.
MAUDE:
Well, I was just on my way over there now. Perhaps you could escort me. I'd just love to hear the finer points of hotelling.
WHEELER:
Well, there's not much to tell.
MAUDE:
It must be a very lucrative business.
**********
VIN:
We're getting closer. He managed to cover a lot of ground for a little kid.
CHRIS:
Then he must be scared.
VIN:
What do you think made him up and run off like that?
CHRIS:
I don't know. He's running from something.
VIN:
Ain't we all?
*********
EZRA:
Billy!
JD:
I hope we find the boy all right. Mrs. Travis looked ready to lose her mind over him.
EZRA:
My mother lost her mind long before I was born.
JOSIAH:
It's a mother's curse to worry over her kids.
JD:
What about Ezra's Ma, Josiah?
JOSIAH:
Charming woman.
JD:
She sure is. You know, she told me my fortune the other day, Ezra-- didn't even charge me.
EZRA:
And what did she see from the great beyond?
JD:
To tell you the truth, it wasn't that good. She told me I was going to be meeting my first and last bullet within six months.
JOSIAH:
Except...
JD:
Except she did this ancient ritual and it lifted the curse and now I'm going to be fine.
EZRA:
And the cost of said ritual?
JD:
Usually it's ten dollars.
JOSIAH:
But for you...?
JD:
Five.
EZRA and JOSIAH:
Billy!
**********
CHRIS:
Vin, Vin, there.
VIN:
Huh? He's around here somewhere. Hey, Billy! Billy, don't run! I got you! It's okay.
BILLY:
Let go! Let go! Let go!
CHRIS:
Hey, hey. We're going to take you back to your ma.
BILLY:
No, no! He's going to kill her.
CHRIS:
Who?
( gunshot )
CHRIS:
Down!
( gunshot )
CHRIS:
You see him?
VIN:
Yeah. He's up there on that ridge.
BILLY:
Hey! Let go!
( Billy yelling )
VIN:
He's gone.
BILLY:
No, he's not! He's going to kill her!
CHRIS:
Who?
BILLY:
The devil! It's him! It's the devil! He's going to kill us, too! He's coming!
CHRIS:
All right, all right. All right.
*********
JD:
Good evening, ma'am. My name's JD Dunne. What's your name?
WOMAN:
Evening, Buck.
*********
MARY:
I was off visiting neighbors that night. Billy was supposed to go with me, but... he wanted to stay home with his father. When I got back, I saw... men riding away.
NATHAN:
How many?
MARY:
Two. But it was dark. I, um... I couldn't really see their faces but they must've heard me coming and that's probably what stopped them from finding Billy.
CHRIS:
Anyone you can think of that would've wanted your husband dead?
MARY:
Well, Steven upset a lot of people with his newspaper. He fought for the truth; published it.
NATHAN:
I remember afterwards, there was an investigation.
MARY:
Yes, and... they decided that it was a... a robbery that the guilty men were... long gone. I guess they've come back.
CHRIS:
Or never left.
NATHAN:
Son... now, I know this is hard for you But I have to ask-- did you see anything that night?
MARY:
Billy, please, we can't hide from this anymore.
BILLY:
The devil's going to get us.
MARY:
No. No. I won't let them, honey. Just talk to me. ( sighs )
*********
MAUDE:
I understand they found the boy.
EZRA:
Yeah, scared out of his wits but we found him.
MAUDE:
Poor boy. You've ingratiated yourself quite well with this town.
EZRA:
I've made a few acquaintances, nothing more.
MAUDE:
A position rife with opportunity Wouldn't you say? I found the perfect mark-- a Mr.
Wheeler owns the hotel. In fact he and I are spending this very evening together.
EZRA:
Really?
MAUDE:
We'll use the same con we pulled in Chicago. You know, the cotton gin investment.
EZRA:
No.
MAUDE:
Excuse me?
EZRA:
I said no. Is that clear? The answer is no.
MAUDE:
Now, now...
EZRA:
Listen, mother, I've got this town believing that they can trust me to protect it from people like you... hell, from people like me.
MAUDE:
I thought that protection job was just a front.
EZRA:
Well, of course it is.
MAUDE:
Now, you haven't gone and joined the ranks of the employed, have you? Now, that would be undignified. Ezra... Ezra... What a waste of your god-given gifts. I raised you better than that.
EZRA:
R-raised me? Did you say raised me? Come on, now, mother. You didn't raise me as well as, uh... as a stray cat raises a litter. You-you dumped me. Remember? At every aunt and uncle's house you could find. Unless, of course, you needed me... for a con.
MAUDE:
I taught you a trade. I did the best I could. I'm sorry if it wasn't good enough.
*********
JOSIAH:
Satan's up to his old tricks again, eh?
VIN:
Yep. And apparently, he's using a .44 these days.
JOSIAH:
Except this time Satan ain't no all-powerful demon. If he was, he'd know Billy couldn't finger him.
CHRIS:
Yet.
VIN:
So, how we going to flush this guy out?
JOSIAH:
Could put an advert in Mary's newspaper.
CHRIS:
You know... advertising might not be a bad idea.
**********
JD:
Hey, Buck, Josiah. Did you hear that Mrs. Travis and the boy are leaving?
JOSIAH:
Already?
JD:
Yep.
JOSIAH:
I thought he was planning on staying for a month.
BUCK:
Hey, Nathan, did you hear the Travis boy's leaving?
NATHAN:
Billy? He leaving already?
JD:
Yep.
JOSIAH:
You know what made him change his mind, JD?
JD:
I'm not for sure but I imagine the scare he got in this town helped.
JOSIAH:
Tough world.
VIN:
You have a nice trip, pard. Mrs. Travis. Billy when you get home...
ELLIOT:
Look here.
VIN:
...I want you to write me a letter about how many jack rabbits you saw.
MARY:
Thank you. Thanks to all of you.
JD:
Bye now. Bye, Billy! Have a safe trip! Say hi to the Judge for me, will you?! Bye, Mrs. Travis! Bye-bye!
BUCK:
Hey. They're gone.
JD:
Oh.
BUCK:
Let's go.

COACHMAN:
Hyah! Git! Hyah!
VILLAIN:
Hold it, there.
COACHMAN:
Don't shoot. Whoa!
VILLAIN:
Hold it up, there. Hold up.
COACHMAN:
Whoa!
VILLIAN:
Hold up that coach.
COACHMAN:
Whoa! You boys lookin' to rob me?
VILLAIN:
Shut up, old man.
BUCK:
Hey.
MARY:
( screams ) A child! A little boy! What kind of animals are you?! God!
BUCK:
Ma'am...
VILLAIN:
Get her off of me.
MARY:
No! No!
BUCK:
Let's go.
MARY:
That was for Billy.
BUCK:
Get up.
**********
CHRIS:
We're going to stay here in your old house until your ma gets back. It's safe, Billy.
STEVEN:
You're making a mistake.
MAN:
Keep your nose out of our business.
STEVEN:
Don't do this, Frank.
CHRIS:
You know, you don't have to do this. Listen, Billy I've met the devil. More than once. And he ain't beat me yet. All right.
*********
VIN:
All right, string him up!
JD:
Back up boy. Back up. Come on, bring him up, Boys.
VILLAIN:
( muffled talking )
BUCK:
Hey. Hey. We're not going to leave her alone with him, are we?
VIN:
I ain't going to argue with her. Now, you look like a smart feller. How many times we going to have to drop you on your head before your neck breaks?
BUCK:
Now, Mister, I know you're not from around here but only a fool takes money from a stranger to do a killing. Now, I know you're not a fool, are you?
VILLAIN:
( muffled groaning )
VIN:
Huh?! Maybe we should ask his friend.
BUCK:
Yeah. Let's ask his friend.
( gunshot )
VILLAIN:
( muffled yelling )
VIN:
Well, too late for that.
BUCK:
Now, we don't need A name, son but we do need a description.
VIN:
Just a little description.
BUCK:
I can't hear a word this boy's saying. Can you?
VIN:
No.
JD:
Maybe you should try your animal maggotism on him, Buck.
BUCK:
It's animal magnetism, boy. And you can plainly see it only works on the ladies.
EZRA:
Gentlemen, if I may, this sack of manure is getting heavy.
VILLAIN:
( muffled yelling )( laughing )
BUCK:
Whoo, that was lucky! You ready to start talking now?
VILLAIN:
Whatever you want to know. What he looked like... What he wore, drank... I swear. Just let me down. Please, let me down.
**********
CHRIS:
You're pretty good at that. Your pa teach you? Bet you miss him a lot, huh? Billy... it wasn't your fault.
BILLY:
I was scared. Bet you've never been scared.
CHRIS:
You'd lose that bet. It was after I lost someone real special. Someone a lot like you. Most scared I've ever been was having to go on without him. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is to keep on living.
*********
ELLIOT:
Afternoon.
VIRGINIA:
Sorry I'm late, papa. You sell Mrs. Travis' house?
ELLIOT:
Not yet.
VIRGINIA:
I'm afraid she's got some squatters.
ELLIOT:
Squatters?
VIRGINIA:
I passed it on my way out here. I think I saw someone go inside.
ELLIOT:
Well, I'll send somebody out...
BUCK:
Let's go. Come on!
VIN:
Lock 'em up, Boys.
ELLIOT:
You go on home without me.
VIRGINIA:
Where you going, Papa?
ELLIOT:
You just go on.
VIRGINIA:
But Mama said...
ELLIOT:
Go!
Is the boy with them?
GUARD:
Don't look like it.
ELLIOT:
Get Jack and Willie. Meet me at the old Travis place at 10:00.
**********
MAUDE:
You raise them, you shower them with love and what happens? They grow up to despise you. What's the point in having them in the first place?
WHEELER:
Well, I wouldn't know, ma'am. I never had any.
MAUDE:
Smart man. And good-looking. It's a deadly combination.
EZRA:
Bartender! A whiskey, if you please. Well, we saved him. He's safe and sound.
MAUDE:
Saved who?
EZRA:
The Travis boy.
MAUDE:
Well, bully for you, Ezra. Now you can return him to the mother who cares.
EZRA:
( chuckles ) Oh, my, my, how foolish of me. I actually thought you might take some maternal pride in all this but I forgot, you are bereft of such instincts.
WHEELER:
Perhaps... I should be going.
EZRA:
No, no. Don't bother. I'm the one who's going.
MAUDE:
Where? To protect some little lost kitten? ( laughs )
EZRA:
Touche. As a matter of fact, I'm going back to the jail to find out who hired those men. Then I'm going to hunt the bastard down...
MAN:
Uh-huh.
EZRA:
...and rip his throat out.
MAUDE:
How pleasant.
EZRA:
Well, then... I won't invite you to watch.
MAN:
Good idea. They shouldn't be doing that.
( men voicing support )
MAUDE:
Vultures. Please don't feel obliged to stay. I just don't fancy watching a man being dismembered.
WHEELER:
Di... dis-membered?
MAUDE:
That's what a mob does to people who prey on little children. Oh, I've seen it before. Eyes gouged. Limbs torn clean off. Innards yanked out.
WHEELER:
Excuse me, ma'am, but I really do have to go.
MAUDE:
Well, certainly, Mr. Wheeler.
WHEELER:
Call of nature.
**********
JOSIAH:
Going somewhere?
WHEELER:
It was all an act in there, wasn't it? Uh, this is a mistake. Uh... you've got it all
wrong.
VIN:
Why are you running?
WHEELER:
Mary... It-it wasn't my idea. I-I had to go along with it. I had no choice.
JOSIAH:
You always got a choice.
WHEELER:
You don't understand. You see, Steven was digging into the land deeds... And, uh... He would've found out that they were fake.
VIN:
So you killed him.
WHEELER:
Oh, God, no. No! No, It wasn't me. I just wanted to talk to him. I-I wanted to get him to back off. He-he was going to cost me everything, Mary. I swear! I tried to stop it. I protected Billy as long as I could... I... and it wasn't my idea to hire those men. I wanted to let Billy go. Mary, please, you've got to believe me.
VIN:
I'm about to land you in a shallow grave. Now, you'd best tell me who your partner is and where we can find him.
***********
( creaking ) (gunshot) ( Chris groans )
MAN:
Go around the side.
( groaning )
ELLIOT:
He'll have to come out of there now.
MAN:
It's going to burn down.
CHRIS:
Come on, Billy. Come on. ( groaning ) Billy, we're going to have to make a run for the barn, all right? You ready? Go, Billy, go! Go! Stay down! Don't stop, Billy. Run, Billy! The barn, Billy!
ELLIOT:
They're in the barn! Get up. Damn you.
BILLY:
But I want to stay with you.
CHRIS:
You'll be all right. Keep your head down. Ride as fast as you can, Billy, go!
( gunfire )( groaning )( gun clicks )
ELLIOT:
Hold it! I got him. You should have stayed out of this.
( cocks pistol )( horse neighing )
BILLY:
No!
CHRIS:
Get down! Get down!
EZRA:
Drop it.
JD:
Hey!
BUCK:
That's enough.
MARY:
Billy!
BILLY:
Mummy...?
MARY:
It's all right, sweetheart. You're safe now. It's all right, Billy.
NATHAN:
Let me see that arm, Chris.
( light chime tinkling )
BILLY:
He killed my father.
CHRIS:
It's over, Billy. He'll pay for what he did.

EZRA:
Listen, Mother... about some of the things that were said the other night, I...
MAUDE:
Good-bye, Buck.
BUCK:
Oh! Now, Ma'am, you have yourself a good trip.
MAUDE:
Thank you. What's that smell?
BUCK:
Smell?
MAUDE:
Like animal, or something. ( sniffs ) P.U.! Well, it was nice meeting you.
EZRA:
What on earth was all that about?
MAUDE:
Nothing. Now, what were you saying?
EZRA:
Well, I just wanted to say with all that's going on I just didn't want you to feel as though I feel...
JD:
Thank you, ma'am.
MAUDE:
Don't mention it. Yes?
EZRA:
Well, although harsh words were spoken I want you to know that, uh... in my heart...
JOSIAH:
Uh, ma'am. I do believe I'll die if you leave.
EZRA:
Penniless.
MAUDE:
So nice to meet you. I'm sorry, darling.
EZRA:
Well, I... I just want you to... Take care of yourself.
MAUDE:
I always do, Son. Good-bye.
EZRA:
Good-bye.

BILLY:
Come on, Ma. Chris said we should start early.
MARY:
I'm coming, I'm coming. Lord, the fish aren't going anywhere.

Just remember, Mr. Larabee has an injured arm.

Chris don't care. He says it's just a scratch.

MARY:
Just be careful, Honey.
BILLY:
I know, Ma. I'm not a baby.
CHRIS:
Come on, boy.
