People never think about the cruelly of the Bible,
the violence,
We leach children with hand puppets and coloring bucks
some of the bloodiest stories
and than tell them
that it all means we should love each other,
That's what some would call a paradox,
What does anyone who's known that kind of violence
understand about love?
When Samson tied 30D foxes together
and lit them on fire,
Killed a thousand men with a donkey jawbone,
A thousand,
Pushed a temple over after his eyes were put out,
'Course Samson was the lucky one,
In the end, He didn't have to see the monster he became,
A man can only see so much darkness
before he goes blind,
Chariie boy!

You tell her I said "hi"?
Hell no,
JORDAN'
What?
Hey, man, you'd think I wouldn't have to ask, You'd just tell me,
This shit, man?
That's a big motherfucker, man, Looks like it hurt,
Big-ass scar,
Fell down,
Fuck you, man,
Yeah,
Hey, I'm serious, Though, man,
I was just hanging out with the wrong guys for a while,
We were sort of like a,,,
I don't know what you call it,
Didn't add up to anything good, that's for sure,
The fuck kind of answer is that, Man?
My dad and Jordan went back quite a ways,
and he's the one that introduced me to Junior,
Ifigured ltwas better to, you know ,,
Start new somewhere where I knew a couple people,
Then I met Tara,
That was it, That sealed the deal,
You married right with that one, man,
I mean, At least your father-in-law
can get you out of tickets,
Mlnejust kicks me in the teeth,
Yeah, well, we got something in common on that one,
- Want one? - Yeah,
I got one, Too, you know?
What's that?
Check that out, See that right there?
Oh, shit, Where'd you pick that up?
- Marlene, - Marlene?
Actually, that was her ex-husband,
I mean, technically, It was her husband at the time,
Wait, So you broke up a marriage?
No, no, No, Wait a minute,
Wasn't like that, man,
She had one foot out of the door already,
When she came in the upholstery store,
asked to have her recliner done,
Ust radiating that energy she has, man,
I was done, man, Took one look at her, That was it,
Of course, Now that I think about it,
Getting her pregnant before she was divorced
probably sped some things up a little bit, But,,,
He didn't take too kindly to that, And he came in
and hit me in the head With a tire iron one day,
Yeah, Yeah, I was out for 20 minutes,
Woke up, About 15 stitches and,,
- No shit, - I don't really remember much,
but it's kinda fucked up, if you ask me,
Marlene and I got married a few Weeks later,
And she's been around ever since,
What happened to the husband?
He went inside for about four months,
Got married in prison, Actually,
So I don't feel too bad,
Hey, man,
Here's to finding the one that'll fuck you rotten
and then cook you breakfast afterwards,
She fucks you rotten, Huh?
No, Not really, Man, but one out of two ain't bad,
Yeah,
Afternoon,
How's it coming?
We're gonna need another weekend at it, but it's coming along,
- What you got there? - Popped a couple doves,
I thought you might want to smoke some,
Oh, man,
Speaking to my soul noW,
Hey, Can I use your phone again?
Yeah, of course, Come on,
I Want marshmallows!
No more marshmallows for you,
- It's too much sugar, - Just one?
No, ma'am, You are not,,
Hi, You've reached the Porters,
We're not home right now,
So if you could please leave a message,
we'll get back to you as soon as possible, Okay?
Hey, Nick,
Come on, Man, Damn,
Marlene's gonna whup my ass if I'm late,
Come on, Man, Let's go,
Yeah, Yeah, let's hit the road,
SAL' Yeah,
Ust called your place,
Nobody answered,
No?
Nobody?
Well, She usually gives them a bath right about noW,
Who knows? Maybe she's drowning them,
Might have finally cracked,
Alright, Man, TUMDTTOW ITIDfl'lll'lg,

Just take a load off, Son,
That's for breaking my heart,
And Charlie's,
Ah, but that's in the past now, It's,,,
It is so good to see you, Nick,
I got a question for you, though,
You got any ice cream?
Hmm?
I mean, Initially, When we came in,
The missus Was making a pie,
and we got it back in the fridge,
Doesn't that sound normal?
Pie and ice cream?
Yep,
You wouldn't happen to have any butter pecan, would you?
Nick?
Go see if he's got any ice cream,
Seriously? I'm tucking bleeding out here,
I got to get this looked at,
What'd you think you were gonna do?
You Were gonna put on a mask
and make believe you were normal?
Hmm?
It wasn't gonna catch up to you?
You killed her
the minute you put that ring on her little finger,
It's kind of ironic, Isn't it, Charlie?
That's What I'd call it, yeah,
Nicholas,,
We're the only family you got,
We're the only ones who will ever understand you
for what you are,
We were a fucking family,
And you tried to kill us,
It's actually pretty funny,
They actually have butter pecan,
Hey, Hey, Bruce,,
Shut up,
When we first showed up, Man,
We were here for, What, two days?
We were here, Talking, Talking about,,,

and all kinds of shit With the little lady, With Tara,
Tara is her name, right?
Was her name,
Man, you should've seen her,
She wouldn't shut the fuck up, man,
She was asking us all kinds of questions,
Real inquisitive,
And then she told us about the money,
Imagine that, She told us that you said that you, Uh,,
You inherited the money,
Who the fuck is leaving you any money?
Who does that to their wife?
Who lies to their wife like that?
What kind of man does that, Nick?
Did you use our money to buy this place, Nick?

I told you to stay away from my daughter,
But you didn't,
Told her not to marry you, but she did,
Said I didn't know you like she did,
But I knew exactly what you were, didn't I?
Now I'm sitting here,,
, ,Wondering,,
Why I shouldn't take my gun and just,,,
Who do you think did this?
Don't push me, Nick,
You got to let me go,
You think I would do something like this?
I know you were hunting With Sal,
The coroner told me that,,,
that she'd been dead for two days,
I know you didn't pull the trigger,
But you know Who did,
Don't you?
Yeah,

You wanna stop talking about it and go do this thing?
I don't like this, Sal,

Nick!
Oh, Nick!
Hey, man,
Just talk to me for a second, son,
Don't disappoint me, boy,
You got me,
Talk to me,
You owe me that, Just talk to me,
I told her when we got married
that she would not have to worry,
Told her I'd be there for her,
Promised,
She was the only real thing I had in this life,
Still gonna have to take you in, Nick,
No,
I ain't going to prison,
I don't blame you for What you done,
I don't,
Ustice isn't yours to serve,
This ain't the wild, Nick,
You should've let the law handle it,
The laW wouldn't do what I did,
Law's the only thing keeps us from being savages,
Like I said, I can't go to prison,
so you do whatever you got to do,
I tell people I served this town for 30 years,
That my blood is in this dirt,
And in all that time,
I only ever did one bad thing,
If you Wanna call it that,
Maybe that's entitlement,
Maybe not,
Whatever it is, though,,,
it's a choice I can live with,
Imagine if they let Samson go
instead of shackling him to the temple,
May have been a different outcome altogether,
Imagine that,
