The Patriot

Here, boy!

Ha, ha!

All right.

on 'em.

How come you don't use antibiotics

like everybody else?

Antibiotics ain't working no more.

Well, they're making good stuff for cows these days.

But, uh, what do I know?

I'm just a poor old working cowhand.

Think that'll do her? Get on girl.

Come on.

Wesley?

I think we found her.

Looks like she's not doing too well.

She come quite a piece for a little critter.

I think we better put her down.

Frank, put that rifle away.

Yes, sir, that is one sick puppy.

I don't think your home-cooked jungle

juice can do her this time.

I don't know about that, Frank.

I mean, you wouldn't want to bet your best rope

and saddle and your carbine, would ya?

Oh, if it was anybody but you.

I'm gonna go tell Holly we found her.

No, no, no, hold off on that.

I wanna wait until this critter gets out of the woods.

Still time to take that bet?

No, sir.

Are you blowing smoke at me, Wesley?

I don't gamble with my little girl's heart.

As the siege in Ennis, Montana,

reaches its 52nd day with no end in sight,

federal authorities, in an effort to distance themselves

from the Waco and Ruby Ridge fiascoes,

are still hoping for a peaceful resolution

to the standoff with a local militia group led by Floyd

Chisholm, a neo-Nazi with a history

of radical confrontations with authorities,

who is currently wanted for multiple federal weapons

violations.

Officials indicate that the fate of the standoff

lies in the hands of Chisholm, the self-described "patriot

of a new America."

"The tree of liberty must be

refreshed from time to time with the blood

of patriots and tyrants."

Thomas Jefferson?

That's good, son.

That's real good.

All right, now who said this?

"There's only room for 100% Americanism.

Only Americans and nothing else."

James Madison.

No, sir.

FDR.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The dupe on the dime.

Here.

Here's a picture of him.

It's very unfortunate about Mr. Roosevelt. He was fooled

in World War II into sending our boys to Japan and to Europe

to fight.

I tell you something, gentlemen.

He was a very brilliant man.

He said some very smart things.

And he was an American.

Yes, sir!

What about these child-burning government

storm troopers who've sworn allegiance

to the United Nations?

Are they Americans?

No, sir!

Hell no, they're not Americans!

You know what I'm talking about, men?

Yes, sir!

I'm talking about the ATF.

Yes, sir!

The CIA.

Yes, sir!

The FBI.

Yes, sir!

I don't care what they call themselves.

I just know this.

By God, those son of a bitches, they're the real tyrants.

Good day to die, Floyd?

It's hard to believe that men walk

this earth with hearts of ice.

But you men, you men are the real Americans.

Yes, sir!

You men are the real patriots.

Yes, sir!

You men are the real citizens.

Yes, sir!

And I wanna thank each and every one of you

for sticking with me through this.

I know that you men are eager, and you wanted to fight.

Yes, sir!

But, my god, I just can't let this happen.

So I'm gonna put an end to it.

I'm gonna walk out that door and surrender.

I'm gonna monkey-wrench their plans

before they can get started.

Uh-huh, doesn't hippopotamus

have, uh, three Ps in it?

Thanks, Frank.

You bet.

Mississippi.

M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I.

You know, you're getting so good.

Uh, do you know how to spell Mississippi

without using any Is?

No.

You can't?

Watch this.

M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I.

Hey, Frank, haven't you got anything better to do?

Uh, yes, Wesley.

Bye, pardner.

Bye, frank.

This is radio KXRT 70.9, Boseman.

Want some breakfast?

Oh, you're about two hours too late.

But thanks anyway.

We had warmer than normal temperatures

for this time of year.

Are you getting sick of my cooking?

- No. - No?

No.

OK, here's a half omelet, as promised.

Thanks, Daddy.

Little Tabasco sauce for you?

Sure.

OK.

So, uh, I hate to ask this, but, um, what are you doing?

Homework.

Weren't you supposed to do this last night?

Yeah, but I walked up the hill.

You walked up to hill.

And what did Daddy tell you about walking up

the hill at night?

It's too dangerous.

That's right.

So why are you doing it?

But how come it's too dangerous?

There's still a million police on the other side.

Sweetheart, you don't know what kind of yahoos

are out there right now.

Now eat your breakfast.

Where'd Frank go?

Oh, Frank, you know, he eats these wild breakfasts.

He uses too much Tabasco sauce, and he's got a lot of gas.

He's out in the outhouse right now.

I'm just kidding.

He went into town to get me some parts.

He'll be back soon.

Oh.

Why do horses want to be alone when they die?

Well, horses are braver than people.

People, they need somebody that loves them to stay

with them when they die.

Horses, they seem to want to do it on their own.

Grandpa says it's because they don't want anyone seeing

which way their souls run.

That may be.

But you can pour me some tea.

A little bit more of Grandpa's herbs, is that right?

Yep.

What are these?

It's wildflowers.

Wildflowers?

Where'd you get these?

I picked them last night on the hill.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, that's good.

Give the men the antitoxin, Pogue,

and get rid of this shit.

God help us, Floyd.

God help us.

I'm coming out!

Coming out!
