why the hell didn't youtell me gary was in town? - excuse me.- rodney. all right, jonesy. i didn't think you'dwant to see him. well, i hada right to know. i just-- i wouldhave thought you'dhad enough of him. come on, crane.why don't you ask me whatyou really want to know? why didn't i just walk awaythe first time he hit me? why didn't i justcall the police?
right? i mean,it's so simple. crane, are you going todeal with this, or what? just give mea second here, jonesy. i mean, this--jean. jonesy: i couldn't care less about his personal problems. ( snorts ) griff: there's a buffalo over there. his name is ronnie. and then there'stwo wolves.
tom and jerry. come on. look. food. aren't you hungry? you had enough? yeah, i've hadall i need. no, no, no, no.that's okay. i've got to run tothe feed store for a minute. think you could fixmitch some lunch?
okay, then. mitch: einar? einar? - mitch? - griff. get einar for me. he went to town. oh, no. do you know where hekeeps my medicine? - in the refrigerator.- go get it for me.
- right now?- quick as you can. - okay.- okay. good girl. do you--you know how-- you know how to load it? yeah, just--that's it. ( groaning ) pull the pants down, stick it in me, and pushthe plunger down. was that okay?
yes. it was so smooth i thought mymomma'd done it. thank you. jean. as it turns out, you're right.i'm a complete asshole. i never judged you forbeing with him, though. you're wrong about that. you made it stop.you left him.
you want to knowthe ugly little truth? you stay becauseyou don't think youdeserve any better. 'cause you think it'sthe best you can do. it's mr. bradley. how you doing? we can't justleave him there, einar. we walked intohis business. hell, he was justdoing what bears do. we can't punish him for that.
got to let him go, einar. get him outof that cage. don't you lie here and thinki'm going to do that. you know, i can get myselfshaved in the morning. - all the way dressed, too. - okay. could probably manageto stick myself in the butt withone of those syringesif it came to it. but what i can't do is continue to liehere every day
and watch you mournfor a life you thinkyou should have had. there are peopleeverywhere who think they got dealta bad hand, einar. did i give him too much? you did great today. gonna needa goddamn miracle. i don't know whati'm gonna do. i never do anything right. well, what doyou think?
lift.attagirl. all right, now,let's try third. - let the clutch out.- third? all right, now let'scut her left. not too hard. there it is. okay, that's good. you're gettingthe hang of it. i think we're goingto get this thing done.

just the way it is. what else youbeen teaching her? i don't know enough to know what toteach a girl. what i'm saying... is if you want tocome back to the ranch, that's-- that's goingto be okay. maybe tomorrow, then,when you get back. tomorrow would be fine.
i think campingwould be great. she'll love that. - do you want all of these?- yep, all of them. - hold on to those.- what's the medicine for? when we get that bear inthe cage, i'm going togive him a shot. that way he can sleep allthe way up the mountain.
