Rectify

Woman: I remember when I was a little girl,

My dada took me to the circus --

The greatest show on earth.

There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears...

And a beautiful lady in pink tights

Flew high above our heads.

And as I sat there watching,

I had the feeling that something was missing.

I don't know what,

But when it was all over,

I said to myself,

"is that all there is to the circus?"

Uh-oh. Here comes trouble.

¶ I know what you must be saying to yourselves ¶

¶ "if that's the way she feels about it ¶

¶ why doesn't she just end it all?" ¶

¶ oh, no ¶

Cat's got his tongue.

I'm not ready yet for that final disappointment.

For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,

When that final moment comes

And I'm breathing my last breath...

...I'll be saying to myself, "is that all?

Is that all there is to dying?"

Ted jr.: Baby, you're not still mad at me, are you?

Are you?

No, it's okay.

Really, it's fine.

I just couldn't not tell them. You know?

I know.

I mean, I just get so excited.

Am excited. Happy.

I'm glad, teddy. Me too.

Yeah?

Of course I am.

Getting excited a little bit.

I mean, god's will, right?

Yes.

I love you, tawney.

I know you do.

I love you, too.

Do you?

I do love you, teddy.

Jesus.

How'd you even know where I lived?

White pages.

oh, yeah.

Those.

It's amazing what survives and what doesn't, isn't it?

It is.

Well, shit.

What can I do for you, daniel?

I'm not sure why today exactly,

But, uh...

I wanted to come and see you.

Is that right?

To say "no hard feelings."

All right.

Sure, buddy.

Thanks.

You huff it all the way over here?

It's not that far.

Not that close, either.

Got anyplace else you're supposed to be?

Then get your ass on inside.

Did they give you grape soda?

Who?

The police.

That night.

"that night"?

Well, damn, daniel, you just jumping right in, huh?

I'm not even sure, man.

I don't think on it too much anymore.

Okay.

You thirsty?

My wife got these for a church thing she had over here.

They've been clogging up the fridge.

I figure, hey, it's Monday morning.

Might as well have an adult lemonade.

We played tecmo bowl on this.

You're damn right we did.

Yeah.

My parents gave it to us when we got married.

It anchors the room.

So, uh...

What was it like in there, man?

I mean, I got to ask. Right?

Confining.

Mm.

That would be the word for it, I suppose.

Confining in some ways, but...

Do you still talk to george?

Damn, that's a sequitur.

George?

George.

I haven't seen old george in...

Well, we went fishing together a couple years ago on the flint.

Funny you mention him, though.

Thought I might give him a call.

Thought you'd give him a call or you gave him a call?

Easy there, counselor.

Don't go poking me in the chest with no question marks.

I gave him a call.

To be nice.

Hadn't heard back.

Where's he live now?

Oh, these are terrible. You want a beer?

Uh... Georgey lives in florida.

Live oak.

Satan's butthole, man.

You ain't thinking about hurting him, are you?

I don't want to hurt anybody.

'cause I wouldn't want to be a part of anything like that.

Part of what?

But if you go visit him, tell him I said "hello."

I will.

Go visit him or tell him I said "hello"?

Both, I suppose.

I'm not sure.

I should go.

Hey. Hey, that's, uh...

That's a long ride down to live oak, buddy.

I'll figure it out.

I'll tell you what.

Hey.

I'm supposed to be at a job this morning,

But he's a cheap son of a bitch, really.

What say... We go on a road trip?

Should we call him first?

Look, that night --

Or that morning, I mean, with the police --

All I did was say you and her were arguing.

That's it.

It was george who said --

Hell.

You want to go down there, you want to talk with him about it,

As long as you keep it gentlemanly...

...I am happy to do the driving.

All right.

Put your little bicycle in the bed there,

And you grab shotgun.

I'm gonna piss real quick.

And then we'll hit the road, son!

Tray tables up, passengers.

Prepare for takeoff.

Oh.

I-I got one for that.

Figured you might.

Your total is $41.20.

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Five...

Six...

Seven...

Eight $1s.

Oh, there's that $10.

Yep. There it is.

And...$20.

That's... $38.

$38?

So I'm... $3.20 short.

$3.20...?

Short.

I hate to use these, but...

I don't even know if that --

Uh...

You still owe 20 cents.

I know I have a quarter in here.

It's a virginia one. Got jamestown on it.

Forget it. God. Forget it.

I will pay the 20 cents. Not a problem, okay?

What do you know?

Jamestown.

Trey: That's right -- right there.

Appreciate you flipping the bill for those.

Tastes good.

Yeah, as good as it gets.

Oh, man. Unreal.

I mean, damn! What?

You son of a bitch!

When I got out of bed this morning

And I was staring out that little window above our commode

At the traffic light that's out on 39

That is always green out beyond the hayfield,

I never would have said, "well, today's the day

That I'm gonna go to florida with daniel g.D. Holden."

I mean, never.

The light's always green?

I ain't never seen it red.
