00:00Why can't I just stay here?
00:02There's something I need to show you.
00:04Something you need to see.
00:06I'm going to cook.
00:08Oh, yes, and it's beautiful there.
00:10Don't be putting ideas into her head.
00:12It's far away.
00:14Joanne!
00:16Look what I got with me.
00:18Howdy.
00:20I'm worried about that child.
00:22Don't run off.
00:24Ain't nobody here gonna hurt you.
00:26She is quiet, though.
00:28I know something wrong with that child.
00:30It's hanging over her like a cloud.
00:34Things will get better, I promise.
00:38I ain't got time to keep turning this rope
00:40and you ain't even jumping.
00:42Look, honey, don't hurt me.
00:44Don't make the girl do what she don't want to do, honey.
00:46Don't you got a secret?
00:48Maybe.
00:50Joanne, you got a secret?
00:52No, Mama.
00:54Now, Joanne, this roof is all your troubles,
00:56and they're gonna keep coming around,
00:58so you're gonna have to learn how to jump over them
01:00so they won't trip you.
01:02Say you're sorry.
01:04All right, nobody's quite crashed.
01:06Say you're sorry like you mean it.
01:08I'm sorry.
01:10You're awful attached to her.
01:12Well, now, that's the truth.
01:14I'm really proud of you, honey.
01:16You think that's such a good idea?
01:18Dinner ready. We're going to the jar.
01:20Hang, Foley.
01:22I ain't gonna be still
01:24and let no more babies be hurt.
01:26No more!
01:32I know vengeance is yours,
01:34but when are you gonna stop?
01:36Sometimes I'd like to put a stamp on your butt
01:38and mail you off somewhere.
01:46Now, you just remember,
01:48ain't nothing gonna happen to you
01:50as long as honey's here.
01:52Just forget it.
01:58But you mess with this child,
02:00you'll be sitting on my dinner table.
