Hey. Hey.
Hey. Hey.
You're all right, you're all right.
Hi, I'm calling about the house you have listed.
Does it have a basement?
It does?
When can I see it?
Thanks.
We are in luck.
So, as you can see, it's fully furnished.
If you're worried about how remote it is,
Carlson's just a short distance away.
Shops, restaurants.
And if you need a guide, I'm available.
- Where's the basement? - It's right this way.
We'll take it.
Okay. Come on, babe.
- Hi there. - Hey.
I need this delivered.
That's a hell of a project
you must be working on.
How long?
Three days.
Okay.
I shouldn't tell you this,
but if you're in a hurry,
Home Depot back by the freeway
can get it to you for tomorrow.
Appreciate your honesty, but I prefer to shop local.
Okay. It's pay on delivery.
You want me to ring this stuff up now?
Yeah, thanks.
Miguel.
Deputy.
That compressor come in yet?
They promised Thursday.
I'll believe it when I see it.
I'll call you as soon as I've got eyes on it.
You new in town?
Yep.
Well, let me know if you ever need a tour guide.
Okay, I just need to see a license.
It's the... it's for the oxy torch.
Store policy.
No problem.
All right now, Sarah, that's $387 and 52 cents.
Hey, I'll be right back, okay?
- Okay. - You wait here?
Yep.
Don't talk to anyone.
- I won't. - Okay.
Love you, Mom.
Love you.
- Hey. - Hey there.
I'm looking for work.
You shitting me?
I'm hiring.
Yeah, I saw your sign.
I need reliable.
Four shifts a week.
Pay cash?
I could probably handle that.
You know your way around a bar?
Yep.
All right, have a seat.
Fair warning.
Friday nights can be colorful.
You lost?
Yes. No, well, I have a flat tire.
My phone is dead.
I was wondering if I could possibly use yours.
Thank you.
And a scotch and soda.
One of those days?
Yeah.
Hey, it's Esme.
Can you tell Darren I'm not gonna make that 3 p. m.?
I've got a flat tire and I'm stuck
in the middle of bumfuck
nowhere.
All right, bye-bye.
Sorry.
Tell you what, Esme.
You buy me one of those,
and I'll fix your flat for you.
Get you out of bumfuck nowhere so fast, you'd spin.
Deal.
Your loss though.
This place has hidden depth.
- Grows on you. - Like a fungus?
Easy access to the freeway.
Ruggedly handsome bartender.
When do I meet him?
You can start on Friday.
We'll work the shifts out from there
with the other girls.
Great.
Also gonna need the 21st of this month off.
You ain't even started yet
and you're already asking for time off?
Look, I'm just being upfront,
21st, non-negotiable.
Um...
All right, all right, deal.
Okay.
And if you're looking for a
I'm not looking for a guide.
I was gonna say husband.
Had one of those.
Didn't work out.
All right.
All right.
- Seat belt. - Yes, Mom.
Luna?
Time for bed.
Ben Rogers said he couldn't get out much.
Only Sundays.
And so he wanted to begin next Sunday.
But all the boys said it would be wicked
to do it on Sunday, and that settled things.
Mom?
Did Dad ever read to me?
All the time when you were a baby.
This right here was his favorite book.
I don't remember.
It's because you were too small.
He would read it to you before you were even born.
He'd lay his head in my lap and
hold this tattered paperback
and just read loud and clear,
just yelling at my belly, making sure you could hear it.
I like that.
You can keep reading now.
Thank you.
They agreed to get together
and fix the day as soon as they could.
And then we elected Tom Sawyer first captain
and Joe Harper second captain of the gang.
And so started home.
True to your word.
Hey, I aim to please.
I've gotta ask, what are you fixing to build?
Thinking about keeping some chickens for my boy.
Hell, with those bars, you can keep a lion.
Mom?
Hey, amigo.
Get on back inside, Luna.
You know, my granddaughter goes to Creek Vista Elementary.
If he's looking for a friend for his first day
Luna is home schooled.
Pay on delivery?
About the money.
Boy...
Can I pay you in installments?
I just got a job at Friday's.
Picked up four shifts this week.
I'm starting to understand why you and Home Depot
aren't such a great fit.
It's smart though.
You ask me this favor after we unload
the heavy-ass shit you don't have the money to pay me for.
Well, I'm too tired and I'm too old to put it back.
So I suppose your cunning has been rewarded.
Thank you.
I will pay you back as soon as possible.
Will we be ready in time?
We have to be.
Okay.
Sorry I have to leave you.
It's okay, Mom.
You know the rules.
You don't answer the door, you don't answer the phone
- unless it's me. - I know.
You'll be asleep when I get home?
- I love you. - I love you too, Mom.
All right, boys, here we go.
Let's go ahead and get another round of drinks.
You got it.
I'd go 12 rounds with you, sweetheart.
You eating or you drinking your dinner tonight?
How 'bout you bring us some more drinks
and then come take a seat right about here?
How 'bout I slit your throat and they can drink the blood?
What'd you say?
I think she likes you, Barlow.
Is that Barlow Townes giving you grief?
I told you, dogs I can handle.
Yeah, well, that pit bull just happens to be town sheriff.
Sarah, I got your wage packet and tips.
Here you go.
Come here.
Relax, relax.
You lay a fuckin' hand on me,
I will file a charge with the EEOC
for sexual harassment in the workplace.
Itit was a bobby pin.
- Sorry. - It's okay.
No harm, no foul.
Can I borrow this?
Sure.
