00:00This here is a little souvenir, picture of my best pal, Sam Tucker and his folks.
00:09Believe me, they don't come no better.
00:10Only when old Sam gets an idea on that hard head of his, ain't no room for nothing else.
00:15Know that little San Pedro place down near the river?
00:18I heard of it. I ain't never seen it.
00:19Well, it belongs to the boss, too.
00:21Old Lodge at the commissary was telling me it's for rent.
00:24It's been laying out there now for three years. It should be as rich as mud.
00:27It's been laying out all that time. It'll take a whole year to clear it off.
00:32Don't drop that no-house tall to me.
00:34A house don't seem like nothing extra.
00:37Seems like extra one thing. Pretty darn extra bad.
00:42I reckon I was thinking too hard about the land. I plum forgot about the house.
00:47My wife will likely be over soon to borrow some of your well water.
00:51So that's what you come for.
00:53That's right. My well ain't no good.
00:55I could have told you that.
00:57Why don't you get your water at the river?
00:59Because river water ain't no good for kids to drink.
01:03Oh, Lord, how come you put that sky up there and this old mud down here?
01:08Made it so pretty if you didn't want us to work it and to love it.
01:11Oh, Sam.
01:22Hey, Sam Tucker, you know what this reminds me of?
01:25Reminds me of 43 years ago with your grandpathy, Fayette.
01:29Same thing happened to us.
01:32Only worse, much worse.
01:34I'm going back to the house and just sit and wait for my call to glory.
01:39Yeah, spring's going to come a little early this year, honey.
01:48Yeah, I reckon we can start our season even before the twin days.
01:51You're back.
01:52I haven't.
01:52Yeah, I grew up.
01:54I haven't.
01:55I haven't.
01:56I haven't.
01:57I haven't.
01:58Yeah.
01:58Yeah, that's some of you.
01:58I haven't.
01:59I haven't.
01:59Yeah.
