when are you going to find time to help me fix the roof? you used that excuse to get out of the army. you all should have been hard on him like you were me and he wouldn't be the way he is. pleased to meet you. so you're from back home, too. you want me to mortgage my house to invest in a scheme of yours? you know the last time we went into something together daddy had to go in his savings to keep us from ending on the street. this is not a good time to take chances. your best friend, robert, an accountant, lost his home and is out on the street. we see him from time to time. he comes down to church for a free meal. robert asks about you. when are you going to do something to help him? babe brother always acts like a gambler who is in the biggest game of his life and don't know about playing cards. i appreciate you lending me a hand. that lazy ass brother of mine was suppose to help me. he should be caring. that is not too much to ask. all the people working with us are really doing it 'cause they hate to see suffering. we can't really bring another family in here with us. when did you talk to harry? how did you sleep last night? harry is the kind of guy you would love to take out in the woods and leave under a rock. boy, hush that noise and get in this house. make haste. rhonda, drag him in here. if you be nice, i will take you to disneyland. i want to hear what happened. my brother is a jackass and a damn fool. the both of you have been as scarce as hen's teeth. whether the boy hears it or not, the man is still a jackass. everyone should have some mother wit. is that how you got that black eye? sure. babe brother reminds me of the story of the man who wanted to be sizable. he wanted to be tall but what he was really short on was brains. there was a time when people had moon fever were treated with leeches. it's that nut of yours. why doesn't he just park his car and come in and apologize? roll down the window and let me talk to you. where is babe brother? how come you didn't ask babe brother to help you? so he is busy? why in the hell didn't you help mama? i bet you if your master would have told you to fix the hole in the roof, you would have rebuilt the whole damn house. that is a damn lie and you know it. every time father asks you to do something, you either half-ass do it or run off and hide. mama asked you to turn the dirt in her garden and you told her, with your smart ass self, that you weren't a farmer; get junior to do it. every time someone asks you to do something, you always say, tell junior to do it. boy, you ought to grow up. i ought to break your damn neck. you dumb ass, it's babe brother. sit down! someone get some lard out of the ice box. we will take her. you all stay here and watch dad. yes. don't worry about it. it will be paid. just let her see a doctor. why is it so crowded? well, aren't you going to take him with you? how long will that take? he slipped on some marbles that were on the floor. then his heart gave out. you have been out for almost three weeks. what is it, noontime?
