Marfa Girl

Let me see your lighter.

We should start a band called Twisted Erection.

This is some good weed, man.

- Hell yeah, man and a good joint.

Rolled by moi , oh!

Caught the fox.

Where you going you little shit ass?

Fuck you, Hom.

Fuck me?

Eat some dirt.

Fuckin' pig.

- We weren't even doing anything.

Then why'd you run?

I don't know.

- Must have been doin' something.

I like your mother, I'm taking you home.

You gotta stop this shit and never run from me again.

I brought him home.

- Adam, you okay, sweetie?

Yeah, mom, I'm fine.

- Alright, listen, go to bed, okay?

Night, Adam.

Was having Adam a hard birth?

Did he not want to come out?

Did he want to stay inside of you?

Did you have to have an episiotomy?

When you have an episiotomy the vaginal

canal is about this close to the anus.

And if they cut too much, you know,

you can get all kinds of infections.

- No, man, he was a natural birth.

There was really almost no labor.

- Well, my mother has to have an episiotomy.

They had to rip her open because I didn't wanna come out.

And my father, he'd get all drunk and he'd yell

at my mother because that she had

me her hole wasn't tight anymore.

- Oh, listen, thanks for bringing him home.

Oh, yeah, no problem.

Goodnight.

Okay.

Hey, Vossie.

Good morning, step up, come on.

Yeah.

Good morning.

Come on, BT, wake up the birthday boy.

Come on, hey, sweetie, it's time to get up.

Come on birthday boy.

Hey.

Hi-yi.

Hi-yi.

Good morning.

Morning.

- So, um, what was going on last night?

- Um, me and Jessie was just walking

and we saw them come up behind us with

their lights on and we just started running.

But we got to, like, the ditch and I turned

and I guess Jessie went straight.

And I just felt somebody behind me,

tackled me, and it was him, he tackled me.

- What do you mean he tackled you?

I was running and he just came

up behind me and jumped at me.

- I know why he was stopping you.

He's stopping you because he thinks you're a wetback.

That's...

Yeah.

That sucks.

- I don't ever see the white kids getting

pulled over by border patrol.

Oh, Adam, I don't like it.

You gotta be careful.

I mean, I know you're not doing anything wrong,

but just don't give them any kind of excuse to do that

or to have any contact with you.

Those guys just seem like they're outta control.

They do whatever they want.

Alright, sweetie, listen, you gotta get up.

You gotta get up now, you've got some chores to do

and then you gotta go to school.

Hey.

There you go.

- Good morning Marfa High School,

please stand for our pledges to our flags.

We will begin with our pledge to the United States flag.

- I pledge allegiance to the flag,

of the United States of America,

and to the Republic for which it stands,

one nation under God, indivisible,

with liberty and justice for all.

- And now we will honor the Texas flag.

Honor the Texas flag,

I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas,

one state under God, one and indivisible.

- Thank you, you may be seated.

This morning we just have a couple of announcements.

First of all, teachers, you are reminded that you

need to post attendance within the first

10 minutes of each class period today.

And the second announcement of the day is

a congratulations to our UIL Academic Team

as we put the whippin' on Crane and Kermit

yesterday in the first half of the competition.

We lead the district by over 100 points,

so way to go, let's finish tomorrow up with a championship

and everybody have a great day, thank you.

- So, the people have taken

Marie Antoinette and King Louie the XVI and the children,

they've broken into their home and they take them

to the guillotine and they kill them all.

And this is the French Revolution,

France will have a new government after this.

At the same time the English fighting the

American colonists and this is where we get America's.

These revolutions have created a whole

new world for us, the world we're living in today.

So, this is a major...

point in history.

Adam, get over here.

Seriously, we can't be having this anymore.

I cut you all this slack and you're sleeping through class.

You know what's gonna happen?

I have to send you to the principal and this

time he's gonna give you a paddling.

Do you want a paddling on your 16th birthday?

No.

- Then what am I gonna do with you?

You're sleeping through class,

you're smart, you're a bright boy.

Ah, she's kicking.

I can feel her.

It's crazy, right?

Yeah.

When is she due?

- In about a month, when's school's out.

Oh, that's cool.

- Maybe I won't send you to the principal,

but you still deserve a paddling.

Maybe I'll give you a spanking.

A birthday spanking?

16, huh?

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Ow.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Ah.

10.

11.

12.

13.

Mmm!

14.

15.

Ow.

16.

And one to grow on.

Ow.

How was that?

It hurt.

- You gonna sleep in my class again?

No, no.

Are you gonna pass this grade?

Yes.

Alright, get out of here.

He was out running

around when he shouldn't have been,

but he wasn't doing anything bad.

And then Tom picked him up.

You know, when he moved here he was married

and he had a couple of kids, a son and a daughter I think.

And rumor has it that he was a wife beater and his wife

ended up getting sole custody of the kids and moving

away because he knocked her around too much.

When they were together they lived

on the outskirts of town, Tom had Rottweilers.

And, um, big scary dogs, big macho dogs like him.

He'd cut their vocal chords.

Jesus.

- So they would sneak up on people.

You know, you're walking by the fence,

you wouldn't know the dog is there and then

suddenly this big mean thing would lunge at you.

And supposedly anything that went over

the fence was ripped to shreds.

Neighbors' cats, neighbors' dogs, a fox.

I think he was really proud of it.

- What ya reading, man?

What?

What are you reading?

Paper, man.

How are you today?

My feet hurt.

- Yeah, if your tits weren't so big
