Bobby, if you don't
eat your dinner...

2
l'm gonna have to
turn off that television.

3
Why, Mama?

4
l'm gonna be eating this food
for the next two weeks.

5
Hey, you heard your mama.

6
You finish your meal,
and then you can watch
the game.

7
[sighing]

8
Daddy?

9
Daddy.

10
Hell, we don't eat
with our eyes.

11
(L.D.)
You want your boy
to grow up...

12
to be a man,
don't you, Daughter?

13
[clearing throat]
Boys should watch football.

14
Not until he finishes
eating the meal...

15
that his mama took
three hours to fix.

16
Now you sit down,
you old son of a bitch!

17
This is my house,
this is my child...

18
and you are my guest.
Now you sit down...

19
before l knock your
ignorant ass into next week.

20
[L.D. grunts]

21
[whirring]

22
[clearing throat]

23
[cutlery rattling]

24
Daddy, tell about when you
rode broncs in the rodeo.

25
Well,
that's a short story, honey.

26
lt was only about
three seconds
l was on that bronc.

27
The next thing l knew,
l was flying
through the air...

28
only l was no angel
like you and Jenny here.

29
l didn't have no wings.

30
And that's the story
of my saddle bronc career.

31
{TV chattering]

32
There you go.

33
[water flowing]

34
You ought to get
married again, Ennis.

35
Me and the girls worry
about you being alone so much.

36
Well, once burned....

37
You still go fishing
with Jack Twist?

38
Not often.

39
You know, l used to wonder
how come you never brought
any trouts home.

40
You always said
you caught plenty...

41
and you know how
me and the girls like fish.

42
So, one night,
l got your creel case open...

43
night before you went
on one of your little trips.

44
Price tag still on it
after five years.

45
And l tied a note
to the end of the line.

46
lt said, ''Hello, Ennis,
bring some fish home.
Love, Alma.''

47
And then you come back
looking all perky...

48
and said you caught
a bunch of brownies
and you ate them up.

49
Do you remember?

50
l looked in that case
first chance l got...
