You awake?

Why?

Redneck foreplay.

Hey, baby, you awake?

- Mmm... - Or, would you like to get awake?

Good and awake?

Mmm... not now.

Aren't you late for work anyway?

Uh-uh.

Took the day off.

Dad's idea.

Taking Daniel to lunch today?

Mmm-hmm.

Going to the Country Kitchen in Mattsville.

Mattsville?

Everybody be watchin' us around here.

You know, it's too much of a statement if we go out to

lunch in Pawley, like we're all of a sudden buddy-buddy, you know?

Statement?

In everybody's face, you know?

I wanna be a little like Sweden.

Sell goods to both sides.

Honey, shouldn't you be on his side?

Huh?

Shouldn't you be on his side?

No.

I should be on our side, as in save the damn business side.

Nobody seems to understand that but me.

Daniel?

Daniel, honey, we're home.

He's not here.

Oh.

Aren't you even a little concerned?

Concerned?

He was locked up for 20 years, mother, and he's been out two days,

and now he's not here.

No note, nothin'.

Well, what do you want me to do about it, honey?

I don't want you to do anything, mother.

Just cook.

Hello.

I'll meet ya outside.

It's John.

We're gonna go look for him.

There are people around here, mom, who wanna see Daniel dead,

people who would do it themselves, if they thought

they could get away with it.

We should at least get him a cheap phone.

My mother is driving me crazy.

What's she doing?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Oh.

Let's go.

Uh, okay.

Hello.

Hello, sir.

Does this work?

Not miracles, I would think.

That'll be $3.16, sir.

Sir?

Four-nineteen.

Thank you, sir.

_

There he is.

Oh, pull over.

What's that like?

I can't imagine.

What's he eatin'?

Looks like a candy bar or somethin'.

He's just feeling the grass.

This isn't very cool, is it?

Ahem.

Not on our part, no.

Shouldn't we take him home?

I think we should just leave, you know?

Yeah, but you don't know this town.

Amantha, we can't follow him around for the whole day.

I know, but--

No.

No, you're-you're right.

Oh, hey!

Look, it's Daniel!

John just got here!

We'll see ya later!

Ahem.

Hello?

Anybody home?

Hello?

Mom?

Mom?

In here.

Oh, hey.

Hey.

You feeling all right?

Resting.

So, where's everybody else at?

Out.

I was gonna take Daniel to lunch.

I got here early, so--

That's a sweet gesture, Teddy.

Can I get you something?

Aspirin-- Tums?

No.

No, I'm fine.

- Just-- - Okay.

There's some stuff on the counter, um, milk and meat.

Should I just put those things in the fridge?

Yeah.

That'd be nice.

Thank you, Teddy.

Okay, mom.

Uh, sorry.

Janet, I keep forgetting.

Oh, you can call me mom, Teddy.

I think that's all right.

I don't know.

I'll tell you what.

How about when he's around, I'll call you "Janet,"

and "mom" when he's not?

It'll be our little secret.

I'd like that, Teddy.

You staying the whole week?

Oh, just a few days.

Try to get the DA

to meet with me while I'm in town.

There's not much to do here until they make their move.

Justice Row still feel positive about everything?

Of course.

What about the press conference?

- Well, uh-- - I can take it.

Everyone knows how hard it must be for Daniel,

- but we were hoping he could be a little more-- - Normal?

Less esoteric.

Well, he does have a unique situation.

- So, by definition-- - I know.

We understand.

It's the public I'm worried about.

You know, first impressions.

- He is who he is, John. - I know.

But, at some point, he's gonna have to be more proactive.

You know, it wouldn't hurt for him to declare his innocence

from time to time.

Do we have to talk about this, right now?

No.

No.

Ahem.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I just... I just thought we'd all get some time off

for good behavior.

To gear up so quickly, after all it took to get him out,

after all that he's been through, it just seems like

cruel and unusual punishment.

Does a girl have to come out and say, "hold me?"

Hey.

Hi.

Hi.

I needed this.

There is not a lot of hugging going on in the nuclear family.

Amantha?

What-- am I smushing your droid?

Amantha?

Amantha, we talked about this.

Uh-uh.

Somebody didn't get the memo.

We had an agreement.

I know.

Hey-hey, this isn't Atlanta, before the media attention.

The media sucks.

- Oh, God... mmm... mmm... - Oh... okay.

We never even had an official last poke.

Oh, no-no-no.

We-we kinda did.

Okay, look.

This will be the official... official, okay?

Amantha, stop.

Don't turn around.

He's gone.

We are idiots.

Well, wanna get lunch?

Hey, don't be shy.

You can go back for seconds, thirds, as much as you want here.

People eat more than I recall.

Yeah.

You know, buffets used to just be for Sundays after church.

Now, it's seven days a week around here.

Can't even really compete as a business model without one.

Say, was the Ming Dynasty around before you went in?

I'm sorry.

Chinese buffet up on the interstate.

No.

You know, when it first opened, it was all you could eat for $3.99.

You never seen so many dumb Georgia crackers descendin' on egg rolls

and sweet and sour chicken in all your life.

That's interesting.

I guess.

Can we be frank?

I would hope so.

Do you plan on workin' at the store?
