1
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,759
Can I help you, lady?

2
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,880
No, you can't help me.
No one can help me.

3
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:05,159
I've tried driving with my
lights on, sounding my horn!

4
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,960
I scream, I roll the window down
and bang on the door

5
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:13,119
and play Public Enemy real loud!

6
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,920
I've prayed to St Francis
of Assisi, St Christopher too!

7
00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:20,799
What the heck! I've tried
everything and still every week

8
00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:23,119
I hit at least one deer!

9
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,119
I have hit 13 deer in seven
weeks driving down this road!

10
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,400
And I HAVE to drive
down this road every day,

11
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,799
40 miles to work and back.

12
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:44,440
I HAVE to drive to work
and I HAVE to drive home!

13
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,319
Where do they come from?

14
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,679
Oh... he's dead.

15
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:10,319
And I LOVE deer.

16
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,920
Well, they sure picked the right
place to practise a burn on.

17
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:38,480
That Rumelthanger place
was an eyesore.

18
00:06:20,039 --> 00:06:22,159
What do you suppose...?

19
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,000
Is that a lawn mower?

20
00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:58,079
Mister, you OK?

21
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:08,599
Jeez, mister, you're lucky
she didn't roll on you.

22
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:16,039
I guess the belt broke.

23
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:18,279
I wouldn't be surprised.

24
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:21,480
You don't have brakes
on that trailer, right?

25
00:07:21,719 --> 00:07:24,440
I worked for John Deere
for 30 years,

26
00:07:24,679 --> 00:07:28,199
you shouldn't be hauling a rig
behind a mower.

27
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,199
At least not down
a hill like that.

28
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,920
I'm Danny Riordan.

29
00:07:34,159 --> 00:07:36,559
Alvin Straight.

30
00:07:36,799 --> 00:07:40,960
Alvin, let's get you
and this rig off the road

31
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:45,440
and see what the damage is.

32
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,719
Let's get this off the road.

33
00:07:59,799 --> 00:08:03,319
Sure you're OK?

34
00:08:37,079 --> 00:08:39,319
OK.

35
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,559
You OK? Everything all right?
I'm going back to the exercise.

36
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:47,360
Thanks. Appreciate it.

37
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:56,239
Well... let's
take a look at this mower.

38
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:02,159
- This is what '65, '66?
- '66.

39
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:09,400
Well... tell you right now,
Alvin,

40
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:11,839
you won't be going
anywhere tonight.

41
00:09:12,079 --> 00:09:14,920
Aside from your, ah,
drive belt being busted,

42
00:09:15,159 --> 00:09:17,400
you got transmission problems.

43
00:09:17,639 --> 00:09:20,639
- Where you headed?
- Mount Zion.

44
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,639
Mount Zion, Wisconsin?
Past Prairie du Chien?

45
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,000
That's 60 more miles of hills.

46
00:09:26,239 --> 00:09:27,839
That's across the Mississippi.

47
00:09:28,079 --> 00:09:30,199
What's in Mount Zion, Alvin?

48
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,920
My brother lives there.

49
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:36,159
- Why didn't you take your car?
- I'm not licensed.

50
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,199
- Couldn't he visit?
- He's had a bad stroke.

51
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,360
Where are you coming from?

52
00:09:43,599 --> 00:09:45,159
Back a piece.

53
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,440
West Union?

54
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,920
- Hawkeye?
- Nope.

55
00:09:51,119 --> 00:09:54,920
Well, not New Hampton?
You haven't come that far.

56
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:58,039
You've come a long ways,
haven't you?

57
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:01,079
Yeah, I have. Laurens, Iowa.

58
00:10:01,319 --> 00:10:02,719
Laurens?!

59
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,759
That's west of The Grotto. How
long have you been on the road?

60
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:08,960
What's the date?

61
00:10:09,199 --> 00:10:12,039
October eighth.

62
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,559
Five weeks. I left Laurens
on the fifth of September.

63
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:21,880
You been bunkin' in that?

64
00:10:22,119 --> 00:10:24,639
That's my rollin' home.

65
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,719
Where you been settin' up camp?

66
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,199
In the fields. I pull off.
I don't travel at night.

67
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,559
Haven't you been scared,
being alone?

68
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:35,480
There are weird people
everywhere.

69
00:10:35,719 --> 00:10:41,039
Well, ma'am, I fought
in the trenches in World War II.

70
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:44,239
Why should I be scared
of an Iowa cornfield?

71
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,400
Well, um...

72
00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:51,360
till we get
this mower fixed...

73
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:54,759
why don't you... ah,
bivouac in our yard here?

74
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,079
There's a bathroom
in the garage you can use.

75
00:10:58,319 --> 00:11:00,559
Well, that's
awful generous of you

76
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:06,519
and I'm sure my machine here
is agreeable to that too.

77
00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:11,199
Sure wanna thank you folks
for helping me today.

78
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,599
There's a lot of rain forecast.

79
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:17,119
Sure don't want to get stuck
in that trailer.

80
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,559
I... I do a little woodwork.
I thought you'd like a few fish.

81
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:24,559
My daughter does woodwork.
She makes birdhouses.

82
00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:27,839
Oh, that's nice.

83
00:11:32,639 --> 00:11:37,679
- You finished there?
- I believe I am.

84
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:05,559
- I'm in need of a phone.
- Sure. Come in.

85
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,360
I wanna tell my daughter
about my recent travels.

86
00:13:09,599 --> 00:13:10,960
Sure. Come in.

87
00:13:11,199 --> 00:13:16,000
If it's all the same with you,
do you have a cordless phone?

88
00:13:16,239 --> 00:13:22,319
- Door's wide open, come...
- I can call from out here.

89
00:13:29,639 --> 00:13:33,599
Here you go. You're welcome
to sit in the kitchen.

90
00:13:33,839 --> 00:13:36,920
We can leave, if you're
lookin' for privacy.

91
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:41,559
Out here's fine.
Is the area code still 712 here?

92
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:44,679
No, Alvin.
That hill rolled you into 319.

93
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,239
You need to dial one
and your area code.

94
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,319
712, thank you.

95
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,319
'Hello?'

96
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:07,559
Rose?

97
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:10,639
Dad? Dad...

98
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,719
Uh, I'm... so glad to hear you.

99
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,039
It's gonna cost him a bundle
to fix that mower.

100
00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:28,599
I don't think
he's got that kinda money.

101
00:14:28,839 --> 00:14:31,400
I wouldn't drive
that thing to Excelsior.

102
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:34,119
It's a lawn mower,
for God's sake.

103
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,759
Uh, your social security cheque?
Ah... it's here, Dad.

104
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,519
Rose, can you send me my cheque?

105
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:43,679
Uh, yeah.

106
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,239
He's damn lucky
he made it down that hill.

107
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,639
- He could've died easily.
- Yeah.

108
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,599
He's none too strong.

109
00:14:52,839 --> 00:14:56,119
See how he has to walk
with the canes?

110
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,480
OK, Dad.

111
00:15:03,119 --> 00:15:06,920
I... I...

112
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,240
OK, OK, Dad, OK.
I... I have a pencil, Dad.

113
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,919
The hills just get worse

114
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,400
the closer you get
to the Mississippi.

115
00:15:19,999 --> 00:15:22,320
Go ahead and drive him, honey.

116
00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:25,919
Mount Zion can't
be half a day. It's fine.

117
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,039
You're a good man,
Danny Riordan.

118
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:35,120
And that's why I married you,
despite what my mother said.

119
00:15:35,599 --> 00:15:36,559
Now, shoo!

120
00:15:36,799 --> 00:15:37,759
Dad?

121
00:15:37,999 --> 00:15:40,719
I miss you, Dad.

122
00:15:40,959 --> 00:15:42,440
I love you, Rosie.

123
00:15:42,679 --> 00:15:44,440
'I love you too, Dad.'

124
00:15:44,679 --> 00:15:47,360
Uh, bye, Dad.

125
00:15:47,599 --> 00:15:49,320
Bye... Dad.

126
00:15:52,719 --> 00:15:55,400
Ahem.

127
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,400
What are you cookin'
there, Alvin?

128
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:25,839
Oh, I'm makin'
my Mexican coffee.

129
00:16:26,079 --> 00:16:28,320
Ah. Mind if I join you?

130
00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:33,200
Get you a chair...
that iron one there.

131
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:39,280
You'll be a guest
in your own back yard.

132
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:45,639
Amm, I talked to the Olsen
twins, and, ah... they estimate

133
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,480
it'll cost around 250 dollars
to get your mower fixed.

134
00:16:50,719 --> 00:16:53,519
Well, that's twice
what it oughta be,

135
00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:56,320
I guess it's cos
they're twins, huh?

136
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,480
I'd be happy to drive you the
rest of the way to Mount Zion.

137
00:17:03,719 --> 00:17:07,719
Be a nice Sunday drive.
We enjoy crossin' the river,

138
00:17:07,959 --> 00:17:10,280
especially now
with the trees in colour.

139
00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:12,839
Well, I appreciate that, but...

140
00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:17,719
...I wanna finish this one
my own way.

141
00:17:27,639 --> 00:17:30,480
Try this.

142
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:36,360
Thank you.

143
00:17:36,959 --> 00:17:39,919
Well, you know, Alvin,
there's a lotta hills

144
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,639
bigger than Clairmont's
between here and Zion.

145
00:17:42,879 --> 00:17:45,679
Even if you get that mower
runnin' again,

146
00:17:45,919 --> 00:17:47,839
it may still break down.

147
00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:52,200
Well, you're a kind man
talkin' to a stubborn man.

148
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:57,160
I still wanna finish this
the way I started.

149
00:17:59,599 --> 00:18:01,839
No, no...

150
00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:03,039
Hi, Verlyn.

151
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,160
- How the heck you doin'?
- Fine.

152
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,480
Wonderful.

153
00:18:07,719 --> 00:18:10,559
He's there.

154
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:24,360
Well... they gave you
a plate of her brownies.

155
00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:26,200
Yeah.

156
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,879
How's that for timing?

157
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:29,879
Janet makes the best brownies...

158
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:31,639
...in Lafayette county.

159
00:18:31,879 --> 00:18:35,240
She won prizes every year
at the county fair.

160
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,400
- Mmm... help yourself.
- Thank you.

161
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,919
Mmm... I've been doin' errands
and I'm heading for a beer.

162
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,599
I thought you'd like
to join me.

163
00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:50,839
Well, I don't drink
any more, but...

164
00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:53,919
I'm always up for a change
of scenery.

165
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,839
Well, come on.

166
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,879
Well, I'm ridin' a little higher
and a little faster.

167
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,879
Except when you came down
that hill.

168
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,240
I picked up a mournful taste
for liquor in France.

169
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,919
When I came back,
I couldn't drink enough of it.

170
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:32,559
I wasn't worth a stick
of stove wood... I was mean.

171
00:19:33,879 --> 00:19:36,440
A preacher helped me
put some distance

172
00:19:36,679 --> 00:19:40,639
between me and the bottle.
And he helped me see...

173
00:19:40,879 --> 00:19:45,280
the reason I was drinkin', I was
seein' all them things here,

174
00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:48,999
that I'd seen over there.

175
00:19:52,999 --> 00:19:57,639
# Though things may look very
dark, your dream is not... #

176
00:19:57,879 --> 00:20:02,039
Lots of men came back
drinkin' hard.

177
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,240
Well... everyone
tryin' to forget.

178
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,519
I can see it
in a man right away.

179
00:20:13,759 --> 00:20:15,599
Yup.

180
00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:19,280
# The rainbow,
you will suddenly... #

181
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,480
There was one time...

182
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,280
when we just...

183
00:20:39,559 --> 00:20:45,280
Were waiting for
the first warm meal in ten days.

184
00:20:50,599 --> 00:20:54,320
We... thought
we'd seen the worst.

185
00:20:55,599 --> 00:21:00,320
We hadn't had
much trouble from the air.

186
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,200
I was on the rise...

187
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,480
with the quartermaster,

188
00:21:07,719 --> 00:21:12,759
workin' on more coffee
for me and my buddies.

189
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,480
A stray Fokker
came over the treetops...

190
00:21:17,719 --> 00:21:20,999
and dropped
an incendiary on the mess tent.

191
00:21:22,679 --> 00:21:25,719
All my buddies...

192
00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:31,879
The Kraut banked right in front
of me on that hill...

193
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,719
and now I can...
see the... Swastika.

194
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,839
That is one thing
that I can't shake loose...

195
00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:56,519
All my buddies faces
are still young.

196
00:21:57,759 --> 00:22:03,039
And the thing is, the more years
I have, the more they've lost.

197
00:22:04,719 --> 00:22:07,999
And it's not always buddies
faces that I see,

198
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,599
sometime they're German faces.

199
00:22:13,639 --> 00:22:18,839
Near the end we were shootin'
moon-faced boys.

200
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,959
I was a sniper.

201
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,599
Where I grew up, you learned
how to shoot to hunt food.

202
00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:36,440
They'd post me up front.
Darn near ahead of the lines.

203
00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:40,759
And I'd sit... forever.

204
00:22:40,999 --> 00:22:44,999
It's an amazing thing what you
can see while you're sittin'.

205
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:52,679
I'd look for the officers, the
radio guys or artillery spotter.

206
00:22:53,679 --> 00:22:58,719
Sometime I'd spot
a gun nest by the smoke

207
00:22:58,959 --> 00:23:01,440
and I'd fire into it.

208
00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:06,799
Sometime it was just
a movement in the woods.

209
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:13,919
We had a scout,

210
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,480
a little fella...

211
00:23:16,719 --> 00:23:19,360
name of Kotz.

212
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,480
He was a Polish boy
from Milwaukee.

213
00:23:26,079 --> 00:23:30,200
He'd always take recon
and he was darn good at it.

214
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:37,160
We went by his word and he saved
our skin many a time.

215
00:23:37,879 --> 00:23:41,519
He was a little fella...

216
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,120
We'd broken
out of the hedgerows...

217
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,999
We were makin'
a run across the open

218
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,079
and we come upon a woods.

219
00:23:58,599 --> 00:24:01,799
We started drawin' fire.

220
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,719
I took my usual position...

221
00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:11,079
and I saw somethin' movin',
real slow like.

222
00:24:11,519 --> 00:24:18,360
I waited ten minutes,
it moved again and I shot.

223
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:21,599
The movement stopped.

224
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:28,160
The next day
we found Kotz... head shot.

225
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,360
He'd been workin'
his way back toward our lines.

226
00:24:33,799 --> 00:24:39,759
Everyone in the unit thought
a German sniper had taken him...

227
00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:44,480
Everyone, all these years.

228
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,440
Everyone but me.

229
00:25:41,879 --> 00:25:43,519
Ha ha!

230
00:25:43,759 --> 00:25:47,200
See, Harald... brainiac...

231
00:25:47,999 --> 00:25:52,160
Got the mower assembly free with
this here little old wrench...

232
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,999
You said it wouldn't work.

233
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:59,039
I'd say it worked
pretty good. Wouldn't you?

234
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:07,039
So help me slide her out.
We can get settled up.

235
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:37,919
Uh... I got parts and labour
that add up to $247.80.

236
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,240
Well, I'd say that's a little
heavy for light work.

237
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,160
Don't you think?

238
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,360
I've got an old man's eyes,
but, ah...

239
00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:53,240
I'm noticin' some new tyre here.

240
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,639
Well, now... ah,
we got those off a resell,

241
00:26:56,879 --> 00:26:58,599
but the treads are good!

242
00:26:58,839 --> 00:27:03,160
Well, friend, are you chargin'
me for good or for new?

243
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,799
Ahhhh... Thorvald?

244
00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:10,759
Ahh... we can make
an adjustment there.

245
00:27:10,999 --> 00:27:17,839
Well, I think the adjustment
should be about thirty dollars.

246
00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:20,200
Is that what
your pencil's sayin'?

247
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,879
And, ah... about the labour...

248
00:27:24,879 --> 00:27:29,360
I appreciate that you boys have
done some real time on this...

249
00:27:29,599 --> 00:27:33,599
of course, a man's gotta ask
when he's workin' with twins -

250
00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:36,559
especially a bickerin' pair -

251
00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:38,839
how much workin' was fightin'?

252
00:27:39,079 --> 00:27:40,799
He got that right.

253
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:42,440
Shut up, Danny.

254
00:27:42,679 --> 00:27:46,959
If I was to judge by this joyous
affair I saw today,

255
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,039
I would calculate maybe 20
per cent taken off the labour.

256
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,120
Anything else, mister?

257
00:27:54,759 --> 00:27:59,400
Well, I'm not from these parts,
but where I come from,

258
00:27:59,639 --> 00:28:03,999
I would say that that was a
little rich for Iowa oil.

259
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,559
Take the oil, no charge.

260
00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:12,280
Well, that's a splendid offer
and I do appreciate it.

261
00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:13,599
What's the tally?

262
00:28:13,839 --> 00:28:17,559
Ah... ahhh...

263
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,879
Hundred and eighty even?

264
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:27,160
Done.

265
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,559
Thanks to you boys, I'm gonna
get this rig back on the road.

266
00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:37,679
I've drove it all the way across
Iowa and I'm hopin' it holds on

267
00:28:37,919 --> 00:28:41,360
till I get to Wisconsin.
My brother lives there.

268
00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:44,360
I haven't seen him
in ten years.

269
00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:47,039
There's no one
knows your life better

270
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,719
than a brother
that's near your age.

271
00:28:49,959 --> 00:28:52,360
He knows who and what you are

272
00:28:52,599 --> 00:28:55,480
better than anyone on Earth.

273
00:28:55,719 --> 00:28:59,799
My brother and I said some...
unforgivable things

274
00:29:00,039 --> 00:29:06,679
the last time we met, but, I'm
tryin' to put that behind me.

275
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:12,360
And this trip is a hard
swallow... of my pride,

276
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,280
I just hope I'm not too late.

277
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,120
A brother's a brother.

278
00:29:37,559 --> 00:29:40,200
Well...

279
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,599
Guess I'll be turnin' in.

280
00:29:42,839 --> 00:29:46,999
I'll, ah... see you in the
morning, then, before you go.

281
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,679
I'm gonna leave awful early.

282
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,160
I wanna thank you for your
kindness to a stranger.

283
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,120
It's been a genuine pleasure
havin' you here, Alvin.

284
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,919
Write to us, sometime.

285
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,799
I will.

286
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,480
I noticed your campfire.

287
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,120
I brought you some dinner...
Mashed potatoes, meat loaf.

288
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,200
Well, thank you kindly.
I've had my dinner,

289
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,240
but would you
join me for a while?

290
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,160
Sure.

291
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:19,320
Thank you.

292
00:35:25,919 --> 00:35:28,519
I hope you don't
mind me trespassin'.

293
00:35:28,759 --> 00:35:30,759
Oh, no, not at all.

294
00:35:30,999 --> 00:35:32,280
Made a fine choice.

295
00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:35,639
You're camped next to
one of the oldest cemeteries

296
00:35:35,879 --> 00:35:39,480
in the Midwest.
French Catholic trappers.

297
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,759
- The Marquette party.
- Two of his men.

298
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,839
I couldn't help but notice

299
00:35:48,079 --> 00:35:51,959
the rather unusual
mode of transport.

300
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:57,839
Well, you're not the first
person to notice that, Padre.

301
00:35:58,039 --> 00:36:00,959
My eyes are bad. I can't drive.

302
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,919
I don't like someone else
drivin' the bus,

303
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,799
and I need to get
to my brother's.

304
00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:07,999
Fair enough.

305
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:09,639
Where is he?

306
00:36:09,879 --> 00:36:13,280
Well, he's so close,
I can practically feel him.

307
00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:14,639
Mount Zion.

308
00:36:14,879 --> 00:36:16,240
What's his name?

309
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,959
Lyle Straight.

310
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:25,839
Is he that fella that came in
with a stroke some weeks ago?

311
00:36:26,079 --> 00:36:27,400
Do you know him?

312
00:36:27,639 --> 00:36:30,400
I work at the hospital
in Boscobel.

313
00:36:30,639 --> 00:36:32,400
I remember him comin' in.

314
00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:35,519
Caught my attention
because... he lives in my parish.

315
00:36:35,759 --> 00:36:36,999
Well, he's a Baptist.

316
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:41,160
Oh, I believe he told me that.

317
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,240
Told me a few things,
matter of fact,

318
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,039
but he didn't
mention having a brother.

319
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:55,160
Well, neither one of us has had
a brother for quite some time.

320
00:36:57,559 --> 00:37:00,639
So, you saw him?
Is he all right?

321
00:37:00,879 --> 00:37:07,519
I only saw him that once and
I haven't heard anything more.

322
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:23,200
Well, Lyle and I grew up
as close as brothers could be.

323
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,719
We were raised on a farm
in Moorhead, Minnesota.

324
00:37:27,959 --> 00:37:32,959
We worked hard. My mom and dad
darn near killed themselves

325
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,079
tryin' to make that farm work.

326
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:42,160
And me and Lyle would
make games out of our chores.

327
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,959
We'd dream up somethin'
about racin' and wagerin'

328
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,679
do anything to keep
our mind off the cold.

329
00:37:49,919 --> 00:37:51,240
Lord, it was cold.

330
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,839
He and I used
to sleep out in the yard

331
00:37:56,079 --> 00:37:58,919
every summer night,
if it wasn't pourin'.

332
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,160
Nine months of winter,
we couldn't get enough summer.

333
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,360
We'd bunk down
when the sun went down.

334
00:38:06,599 --> 00:38:10,919
We'd talk to each other
until we went to sleep.

335
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:16,480
We'd talk about the stars
and whether there might be

336
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,240
somebody else like us
out in space,

337
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,200
places we wanted to go and...

338
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,719
it made
our trials seem smaller.

339
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:33,679
Yeah, we pretty much talked
each other through growin' up.

340
00:38:36,839 --> 00:38:42,999
Oh, whatever happened
between you two?

341
00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:48,480
Story as old as the Bible.
Cain and Abel.

342
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,039
Anger, vanity.

343
00:38:54,679 --> 00:38:57,959
You mix that together
with liquor, and...

344
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:04,679
you've got two brothers who
haven't spoken in ten years.

345
00:39:05,079 --> 00:39:10,919
Well, whatever it was
that made me and Lyle so mad...

346
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,280
don't matter any more.

347
00:39:14,519 --> 00:39:17,039
I wanna make peace.

348
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,079
I wanna sit with him,

349
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,079
look up at the stars...

350
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,079
like we used to do...

351
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,999
so long ago.

352
00:39:33,919 --> 00:39:35,400
Well, sir...

353
00:39:35,639 --> 00:39:39,999
I say "Amen" to that.

354
00:40:33,919 --> 00:40:36,599
Howdy.

355
00:40:51,559 --> 00:40:55,039
I haven't had a drink
in a lot of years.

356
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,639
Now I'm gonna have me a beer.

357
00:40:57,879 --> 00:40:59,079
What flavour?

358
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:03,719
What does
a Miller's Lite taste like?

359
00:41:12,879 --> 00:41:15,559
There you go.

360
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,999
- How's it taste?
- It's good.

361
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:24,719
- Keep the change.
- Thank you.

362
00:41:24,959 --> 00:41:29,440
It's an interesting rig you got
outside. Get up the hill OK?

363
00:41:29,679 --> 00:41:33,559
That hill and 200 more
just like it.

364
00:41:33,799 --> 00:41:35,559
How far did ya come?

365
00:41:35,799 --> 00:41:37,719
From Iowa.

366
00:41:37,959 --> 00:41:39,999
I'm headed
for Lyle Straight's place.

367
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:43,719
Iowa! My God,
you must be thirsty.

368
00:42:27,759 --> 00:42:28,719
Another beer?

369
00:42:28,959 --> 00:42:30,599
This will do me fine.

370
00:42:30,839 --> 00:42:33,919
I wonder could you point me
to Lyle's place?

371
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,320
I haven't seen him
in an awful long time.

372
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:41,599
Well, you just... ah,
cross 61 here, on "W",

373
00:42:41,839 --> 00:42:46,480
Take "W" on down to Weed Road
and then on to Remington Road.

374
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,999
On your right
will be Lyle's place.

375
00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:54,360
If he's there that is.

376
00:45:08,999 --> 00:45:10,280
How you doin'...?

377
00:45:10,519 --> 00:45:13,200
Not too good.

378
00:45:15,839 --> 00:45:18,919
This thing's just tired.

379
00:45:22,959 --> 00:45:26,360
Is there anything
I can do to help you?

380
00:45:26,599 --> 00:45:29,959
Well, I don't know.
It just quit on me.

381
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,440
Why don't you try her again?

382
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,240
I'm headin'
to Lyle Straight's place.

383
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,719
Lyle!

384
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,120
Lyle?

385
00:47:56,079 --> 00:47:58,919
Alvin?

386
00:48:36,519 --> 00:48:39,959
Sit down, Alvin.

387
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:33,599
Did you ride that thing all
the way out here to see me?

388
00:49:33,839 --> 00:49:36,679
I did, Lyle.

389
00:53:51,679 --> 00:53:56,120
