1
00:00:01,484 --> 00:00:03,583
In Alabama, what most people called

2
00:00:03,609 --> 00:00:05,937
"spring break" was called A.E.A.

3
00:00:05,963 --> 00:00:07,697
It had something to do with a week-long

4
00:00:07,723 --> 00:00:09,497
teachers conference,
blah, blah, blah, blah.

5
00:00:09,523 --> 00:00:11,809
All we cared about was no school.

6
00:00:11,835 --> 00:00:14,004
Lots of my friends went on
trips with their families

7
00:00:14,030 --> 00:00:15,835
to the mountains or the beach,

8
00:00:15,861 --> 00:00:18,830
but I was gonna spend my
vacation in my happy place...

9
00:00:19,077 --> 00:00:21,918
On the couch, in front of the TV.

10
00:00:21,944 --> 00:00:24,135
I planned to eat cereal
till my teeth fell out

11
00:00:24,161 --> 00:00:26,440
and watch cartoons till
my eyeballs fell out.

12
00:00:26,509 --> 00:00:29,140
Basically, if something
didn't fall out, I failed.

13
00:00:30,687 --> 00:00:33,270
- Get dressed, Dean.
- And pack your suitcase.

14
00:00:33,296 --> 00:00:36,898
W-What? It's my vacation. I've been
looking forward to it for weeks.

15
00:00:36,924 --> 00:00:38,195
Change of plans.

16
00:00:38,221 --> 00:00:40,419
We're going to visit Grandpa
and Grandma's farm.

17
00:00:40,445 --> 00:00:42,437
We're going to the country?!

18
00:00:42,546 --> 00:00:43,968
Why?!

19
00:00:43,994 --> 00:00:45,622
Contrary to popular belief,

20
00:00:45,648 --> 00:00:48,082
there's a difference between
growing up in "the South"

21
00:00:48,108 --> 00:00:49,828
and growing up in "the Country."

22
00:00:49,854 --> 00:00:52,581
I did the former. My mom
and dad did the latter.

23
00:00:52,607 --> 00:00:54,585
This is how I grew up.

24
00:00:56,211 --> 00:00:58,050
And this was them.

25
00:00:58,161 --> 00:00:59,670
My groceries.

26
00:01:00,130 --> 00:01:01,444
Their groceries.

27
00:01:01,875 --> 00:01:03,580
My chores.

28
00:01:03,649 --> 00:01:05,234
Their chores.

29
00:01:05,260 --> 00:01:07,791
Okay, that last one may have
been over a hundred years ago,

30
00:01:07,817 --> 00:01:09,751
but that's how old they seemed to me.

31
00:01:09,777 --> 00:01:12,210
My point... We were not the same.

32
00:01:12,236 --> 00:01:15,312
Your Grandpa called and said he
needed my help with something.

33
00:01:15,338 --> 00:01:18,087
And as you know, family
always comes first.

34
00:01:18,112 --> 00:01:20,942
But I-I planned out my whole week.

35
00:01:20,968 --> 00:01:23,592
There's a good episode of
The Beverly Hillbillies.

36
00:01:23,618 --> 00:01:25,689
Jethro gets a pet kangaroo.

37
00:01:25,715 --> 00:01:28,139
Grandma and Grandpa
don't even have a TV.

38
00:01:28,164 --> 00:01:29,537
It's so boring there.

39
00:01:29,563 --> 00:01:32,014
Don't you dare call my parents "boring."

40
00:01:32,161 --> 00:01:35,543
It's been a minute since we visited, and it'd
be good for you to spend some time with them.

41
00:01:35,569 --> 00:01:38,864
Don't get me wrong... I loved
Grandma Bessie and Big Jim,

42
00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:41,308
especially when they visited us.

43
00:01:41,377 --> 00:01:43,575
But going to the country was a pain.

44
00:01:43,601 --> 00:01:45,415
And the fresh air will do you good.

45
00:01:45,484 --> 00:01:47,153
I hate the fresh air.

46
00:01:47,179 --> 00:01:48,901
Please don't say that
in front of my mother.

47
00:01:48,970 --> 00:01:51,903
She doesn't need any more
ammunition to judge my parenting.

48
00:01:51,929 --> 00:01:54,445
You two have a complicated relationship.

49
00:01:54,476 --> 00:01:56,737
Well, it's tricky with
mothers and daughters.

50
00:01:56,763 --> 00:01:58,140
I'm all packed.

51
00:01:58,166 --> 00:02:00,956
If that little piece of cloth
is what you call "clothing,"

52
00:02:00,982 --> 00:02:04,193
then clearly, I need to check everything
else in your little suitcase.

53
00:02:04,262 --> 00:02:06,403
What? You don't trust me to do anything.

54
00:02:06,429 --> 00:02:08,404
If you're referring to that
trip with your friends,

55
00:02:08,430 --> 00:02:09,620
then the answer's still no.

56
00:02:09,646 --> 00:02:11,071
I'm going to college soon.

57
00:02:11,096 --> 00:02:14,078
Why can't you let me go away for
one weekend? What's the difference?

58
00:02:14,104 --> 00:02:16,231
The difference is college

59
00:02:16,257 --> 00:02:19,552
is not in the back of a van
driven by a boy named Kwame.

60
00:02:19,578 --> 00:02:22,521
And pack your boots. You're gonna be
helping your Grandpa in the fields.

61
00:02:22,590 --> 00:02:24,263
- Could you at least...
- Are you serious?!

62
00:02:24,289 --> 00:02:25,513
And just like that,

63
00:02:25,539 --> 00:02:28,247
my dreams of a week off
from school were shattered.

64
00:02:28,273 --> 00:02:29,989
Instead, I was going to experience

65
00:02:30,015 --> 00:02:32,566
two of the unhappiest words
in the English language...

66
00:02:32,635 --> 00:02:34,223
"No TV."

67
00:02:37,337 --> 00:02:42,234
www.subtitulamos.tv

68
00:02:46,007 --> 00:02:47,650
After three hours in the car,

69
00:02:47,719 --> 00:02:50,446
two fights between Mom and
Kim, and one pee break,

70
00:02:50,515 --> 00:02:52,862
we pulled up to the family homestead.

71
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,024
Where are my grand-babies?

72
00:02:59,696 --> 00:03:01,781
- I need some hugs.
- Hey, Grandma. Hey, Grandpa.

73
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:03,052
- Look at you.
- Kim,

74
00:03:03,078 --> 00:03:05,531
when did you turn into a woman?

75
00:03:05,557 --> 00:03:08,188
And is this Dean? Oh, my goodness.

76
00:03:08,257 --> 00:03:10,983
You've got even more handsome!

77
00:03:11,203 --> 00:03:13,676
Lillian, are you feeding these children?

78
00:03:13,745 --> 00:03:15,869
- They're so skinny!
- Feed them.

79
00:03:15,895 --> 00:03:18,554
I knew I was forgetting something.

80
00:03:19,601 --> 00:03:21,174
I hope y'all don't talk to your parents

81
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,273
as fresh as your mama talks to me.

82
00:03:26,578 --> 00:03:28,817
Bessie, great to see you, too.

83
00:03:28,843 --> 00:03:30,345
I brought something for you.

84
00:03:30,371 --> 00:03:33,085
- My latest 45.
- How sweet.

85
00:03:33,125 --> 00:03:35,575
'Course I can't play it,
'cause it's the devil's music.

86
00:03:35,601 --> 00:03:38,013
But I am going to hang it up

87
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:40,934
so I can brag on my talented son-in-law!

88
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,059
- All right.
- I'm glad you're here, Bill.

89
00:03:43,085 --> 00:03:45,101
I could really use your help.

90
00:03:45,127 --> 00:03:46,927
She's about ready to drive.

91
00:03:46,953 --> 00:03:48,903
Still need to replace all the fluids.

92
00:03:48,929 --> 00:03:51,208
And I'll make sure that

93
00:03:51,234 --> 00:03:53,835
me and you stay well-lubricated, too.

94
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,787
You the boss, Big Jim.

95
00:03:55,813 --> 00:03:57,866
Daddy, is that why you brought us here?

96
00:03:57,892 --> 00:04:00,716
To sip on whiskey and
work on that old jalopy?

97
00:04:00,742 --> 00:04:03,216
No, no, we've got a real problem.

98
00:04:03,242 --> 00:04:06,000
Let's discuss it over some sweet tea.

99
00:04:06,343 --> 00:04:08,420
We're so glad you're here, baby.

100
00:04:08,446 --> 00:04:09,965
You look good.

101
00:04:09,991 --> 00:04:11,545
Yes, you do.

102
00:04:11,890 --> 00:04:14,627
I guess you're enjoying all those salons

103
00:04:14,653 --> 00:04:17,164
you're spending all
your money on up there.

104
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,667
No way!

105
00:04:32,729 --> 00:04:34,964
Maybe this wasn't gonna
be as bad as I thought!

106
00:04:35,033 --> 00:04:37,725
Hold your horses. We only turn that on

107
00:04:37,794 --> 00:04:40,234
for two programs... The
news and Lawrence Welk.

108
00:04:40,260 --> 00:04:42,599
Nope, it was exactly
as bad as I thought.

109
00:04:42,625 --> 00:04:44,491
Maybe just one cartoon?

110
00:04:44,517 --> 00:04:47,880
Won't be having you use
up all our electricity.

111
00:04:47,906 --> 00:04:50,388
I hope that rule doesn't
apply to the telephone.

112
00:04:50,414 --> 00:04:53,465
They'd have to sell the farm to
cover your long-distance bill.

113
00:04:53,570 --> 00:04:56,340
So, we got some trouble
with the neighbors.

114
00:04:56,365 --> 00:04:59,521
They say our cow has been coming
onto their property to graze,

115
00:04:59,547 --> 00:05:01,765
and they want to build
a fence to stop her.

116
00:05:01,791 --> 00:05:03,931
Big fuss over nothing!

117
00:05:04,139 --> 00:05:06,935
I don't know why they think it's their land.
It's always been our land.

118
00:05:06,961 --> 00:05:08,584
Well, they don't agree.

119
00:05:08,653 --> 00:05:10,896
And they done gone and hired a lawyer.

120
00:05:10,965 --> 00:05:12,726
Why'd they have to get
a lawyer involved?

121
00:05:12,795 --> 00:05:14,667
My cow is pregnant.

122
00:05:14,693 --> 00:05:17,250
She doesn't need the agitation.
She's eating for two.

123
00:05:17,276 --> 00:05:19,396
She needs as much grass as she can get!

124
00:05:19,422 --> 00:05:21,677
Still, it would be good
for you to take a look

125
00:05:21,703 --> 00:05:23,297
at what the lawyers sent us.

126
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:26,648
Don't bother Lillian with that!
It's just a couple of letters.

127
00:05:29,626 --> 00:05:31,734
Well, what does it say?

128
00:05:32,090 --> 00:05:33,781
They all say the same thing.

129
00:05:33,850 --> 00:05:36,614
I don't have time to
read every last one.

130
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,304
It's planting season.

131
00:05:38,330 --> 00:05:40,880
Which is harder now because the clock's

132
00:05:40,906 --> 00:05:43,446
moving forward because of
your President Johnson.

133
00:05:43,515 --> 00:05:45,232
So now I'm wrong for voting.

134
00:05:45,258 --> 00:05:48,997
Without television, watching them fight
was the most entertaining show around.

135
00:05:49,023 --> 00:05:51,497
Still, Mama was no Shecky Greene.

136
00:05:51,523 --> 00:05:53,716
Well, you can't keep ignoring this.

137
00:05:53,742 --> 00:05:55,622
I'd be happy to take care of it.

138
00:05:55,648 --> 00:05:58,318
- We appreciate it.
- "Take care of it"?

139
00:05:58,344 --> 00:05:59,695
Which means "take over."

140
00:05:59,721 --> 00:06:02,301
That's just like her, trying
to control everybody.

141
00:06:02,327 --> 00:06:04,310
Kim, don't be disrespectful
to your mother.

142
00:06:04,336 --> 00:06:06,063
Wonder where she learned that from.

143
00:06:06,089 --> 00:06:10,200
Bessie, our daughter is
as smart as any lawyers.

144
00:06:10,226 --> 00:06:13,165
- Let her help.
- At least Mama had something to do.

145
00:06:13,234 --> 00:06:14,857
I was already bored.

146
00:06:14,926 --> 00:06:17,930
Okay. Time to get to work.

147
00:06:17,956 --> 00:06:19,510
Dean, come on.

148
00:06:19,536 --> 00:06:21,609
You might learn a thing
or two from your Grandpa.

149
00:06:22,250 --> 00:06:25,273
Can't you see I'm busy being bored?

150
00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:31,117
Transmission fluid tastes burnt.

151
00:06:32,453 --> 00:06:34,497
Could be a crack in the fluid line.

152
00:06:34,566 --> 00:06:36,469
Don't worry. It won't hurt him.

153
00:06:36,495 --> 00:06:38,786
But too much of this will
definitely make you go blind.

154
00:06:38,812 --> 00:06:41,920
Years later, when I took a
sip from Grandpa's flask,

155
00:06:41,946 --> 00:06:44,742
I got the joke. Then I
threw up and passed out.

156
00:06:45,883 --> 00:06:47,810
Dean, look, your cousins are coming.

157
00:06:47,836 --> 00:06:50,867
Well, some were cousins,
some were second cousins,

158
00:06:50,893 --> 00:06:54,310
some were cousins of my play cousins...
I-I never knew for sure.

159
00:06:54,336 --> 00:06:55,863
Like I said, country.

160
00:06:55,932 --> 00:06:57,976
They're gonna help me shuck corn.

161
00:06:58,028 --> 00:06:59,570
You wanna come?

162
00:07:00,765 --> 00:07:03,388
Go. It'll do you good
to reconnect with them.

163
00:07:03,414 --> 00:07:06,836
And I pay a dime a bushel.

164
00:07:07,281 --> 00:07:09,341
A day with my country cousins?

165
00:07:09,367 --> 00:07:12,337
I'd rather drink a gallon
of transmission fluid.

166
00:07:12,362 --> 00:07:14,922
But it didn't seem like
I had much of a choice.

167
00:07:23,891 --> 00:07:26,351
So, you live in Montgomery, right?

168
00:07:26,538 --> 00:07:28,691
- What's that like?
- It's okay.

169
00:07:28,717 --> 00:07:30,248
What do you do for fun?

170
00:07:31,444 --> 00:07:33,269
Baseball, I guess.

171
00:07:33,295 --> 00:07:36,525
If we make the finals, we get
to play in Paterson Field,

172
00:07:36,594 --> 00:07:38,889
where the Montgomery Rebels play.

173
00:07:42,462 --> 00:07:45,296
Yeah, my team's really counting on me.

174
00:07:45,322 --> 00:07:48,053
I bat around .800.

175
00:07:48,122 --> 00:07:49,822
I just made my third All-Star team.

176
00:07:49,848 --> 00:07:50,908
Whoa, cool!

177
00:07:50,934 --> 00:07:53,546
All right, all right, I was basically
describing my brother Bruce,

178
00:07:53,572 --> 00:07:55,155
but these kids would never know that.

179
00:07:55,181 --> 00:07:57,884
Yep, I got some high school
coaches interested in me.

180
00:07:57,910 --> 00:08:00,915
Of course I have a girlfriend.
Her name's Keisa.

181
00:08:00,941 --> 00:08:03,389
She's the prettiest girl in school.
Crazy about me.

182
00:08:03,415 --> 00:08:06,209
Sure, I go to concerts all the time.

183
00:08:06,278 --> 00:08:08,225
I even get a chance to
play with my dad's band

184
00:08:08,251 --> 00:08:09,462
whenever he needs a soloist.

185
00:08:09,488 --> 00:08:11,456
As we got comfortable with each other,

186
00:08:11,482 --> 00:08:14,079
my cousins shared details of
their "embellished" lives.

187
00:08:14,148 --> 00:08:15,642
Well, that's cool.

188
00:08:15,744 --> 00:08:17,289
We mostly do stuff outdoors.

189
00:08:17,315 --> 00:08:19,007
Like jumping our dirt-bikes
off that 20-foot hill.

190
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,530
The mounts aren't back yet,

191
00:08:20,556 --> 00:08:23,819
but the taxidermist says it's the
biggest buck he's ever seen.

192
00:08:23,845 --> 00:08:26,816
When I turn 14 next month, I'm
gonna get my driver's license.

193
00:08:26,885 --> 00:08:29,811
- No way.
- They call it an agricultural license.

194
00:08:29,837 --> 00:08:32,814
So we can drive tractors on the
road and stuff. Motorcycles, too.

195
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,803
Okay, that actually sounded legit.

196
00:08:34,829 --> 00:08:37,241
And pretty cool. I had to keep up!

197
00:08:37,267 --> 00:08:40,608
Yeah, my dad's teaching
me to drive right now.

198
00:08:40,634 --> 00:08:44,395
So he can send me out for a pack
of smokes whenever he needs to.

199
00:08:44,420 --> 00:08:48,616
Your dad, Bill Williams,
teaching you to drive now?

200
00:08:48,642 --> 00:08:50,040
Granddad.

201
00:08:50,426 --> 00:08:53,329
Right, right. Of course he is.

202
00:08:54,764 --> 00:08:56,837
Well, there you go.

203
00:08:57,220 --> 00:08:58,710
So, we gonna see you tomorrow, Dean?

204
00:08:58,779 --> 00:09:01,811
Sure will. And call me "DJ."

205
00:09:01,837 --> 00:09:03,483
'Cause my middle name starts with a "J."

206
00:09:03,508 --> 00:09:05,960
That's what everybody calls
me back in Montgomery.

207
00:09:05,986 --> 00:09:07,639
Yeah, nobody ever called me that.

208
00:09:07,665 --> 00:09:10,517
But I felt like a cool cousin from the
city should have a cool nickname.

209
00:09:10,543 --> 00:09:12,966
Come on... DJ.

210
00:09:13,035 --> 00:09:14,908
Time to get back to the house.

211
00:09:19,329 --> 00:09:22,087
Planting season continues to progress...

212
00:09:22,113 --> 00:09:23,942
Is that Green Acres?!

213
00:09:24,011 --> 00:09:25,056
Nope.

214
00:09:25,314 --> 00:09:28,498
Morning farm report on the news.
You wanna watch?

215
00:09:28,524 --> 00:09:31,191
A show about a farm that doesn't
have a pig who can drive?

216
00:09:31,260 --> 00:09:32,689
No, thanks.

217
00:09:35,722 --> 00:09:37,551
- Morning, Big Jim.
- Morning.

218
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,207
Dean, wanna come ride bikes?

219
00:09:39,233 --> 00:09:40,507
We got one for you, too.

220
00:09:40,532 --> 00:09:43,712
At least that's kind of similar
to what I'd be doing at home.

221
00:09:46,298 --> 00:09:48,242
You guys make your bikes yourselves?

222
00:09:48,311 --> 00:09:50,869
Yeah, there's always parts lying around.

223
00:09:51,158 --> 00:09:53,936
I just get a new bike whenever
I outgrow my old one.

224
00:09:53,962 --> 00:09:57,137
You mean whenever you
outgrow Bruce's old one?

225
00:10:00,587 --> 00:10:01,895
All right.

226
00:10:01,980 --> 00:10:03,499
Here you go.

227
00:10:03,646 --> 00:10:05,022
Where are we gonna ride?

228
00:10:05,048 --> 00:10:07,053
I dunno. Where do you ride at home?

229
00:10:07,079 --> 00:10:08,970
All over the city.

230
00:10:09,923 --> 00:10:11,913
But if I was at home right now,

231
00:10:11,939 --> 00:10:14,510
I'd be sitting in front of a
TV until my eyes dried out.

232
00:10:14,536 --> 00:10:16,201
You get to watch that much TV?

233
00:10:16,270 --> 00:10:18,134
Well, yeah, when school's out.

234
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,834
I don't see how you guys
survive without it.

235
00:10:19,875 --> 00:10:23,712
I mean, some of us have TVs, but not
ones we can watch all the time.

236
00:10:23,986 --> 00:10:25,400
We have four.

237
00:10:25,997 --> 00:10:28,153
There's only one place
I know with that many.

238
00:10:28,179 --> 00:10:29,376
Where?

239
00:10:31,189 --> 00:10:33,011
That's the episode where Mrs. Kravitz

240
00:10:33,037 --> 00:10:35,151
thinks Darrin and Samantha have a baby.

241
00:10:35,177 --> 00:10:36,886
My neighbor in Montgomery, Ms. Stringer,

242
00:10:36,912 --> 00:10:38,776
is nosy just like that.

243
00:10:39,001 --> 00:10:41,468
And that's the one where
Gomer and Sergeant Carter

244
00:10:41,494 --> 00:10:42,995
lose the Colonel's dog.

245
00:10:43,021 --> 00:10:44,710
I'm not saying they stole the idea,

246
00:10:44,736 --> 00:10:47,060
but same thing happened
to me and my friend Cory.

247
00:10:47,129 --> 00:10:49,155
And that? That's The Mod Squad,

248
00:10:49,181 --> 00:10:50,925
where they catch car thieves.

249
00:10:50,951 --> 00:10:53,439
Just like the crime in Montgomery.

250
00:10:54,494 --> 00:10:57,296
I'm telling you exactly what
they said at the courthouse...

251
00:10:57,322 --> 00:10:59,797
There's no record of
you owning this land!

252
00:10:59,866 --> 00:11:01,908
What do you call this?

253
00:11:02,681 --> 00:11:05,768
My mama's granddad was a
sharecropper on this land.

254
00:11:05,812 --> 00:11:07,749
He bought it from the
man that owned it...

255
00:11:07,775 --> 00:11:09,142
Paid him a little each month

256
00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:11,538
till it was his, free and clear.

257
00:11:11,564 --> 00:11:14,314
The proof's right here.
I got a map, too.

258
00:11:15,494 --> 00:11:19,999
Here is the boundary between
us and the neighbor's.

259
00:11:20,025 --> 00:11:23,267
Goes from the creek to the
rock pile to the walnut tree.

260
00:11:23,293 --> 00:11:26,900
The tree's gone, but you
can still see the stump.

261
00:11:26,947 --> 00:11:30,655
Yeah, I-I don't think the
county is gonna accept that.

262
00:11:30,712 --> 00:11:33,528
Why'd you need to get the
government involved?!

263
00:11:33,554 --> 00:11:36,283
Next thing you know, they're
gonna make us pay taxes!

264
00:11:36,309 --> 00:11:38,728
I'm gon' pretend like I
didn't just hear that.

265
00:11:40,962 --> 00:11:44,283
What I think we should
do is get a lawyer.

266
00:11:44,309 --> 00:11:45,981
Bill and I can help pay for it.

267
00:11:46,007 --> 00:11:47,603
Wait. What now?

268
00:11:47,678 --> 00:11:50,236
This one of those lawyers we can
pay with a chicken or something?

269
00:11:50,262 --> 00:11:52,514
So it's not enough for
you to stir up trouble,

270
00:11:52,540 --> 00:11:54,959
now you're gonna start
throwing your money around?

271
00:11:54,985 --> 00:11:56,538
We're not throwing money around.

272
00:11:56,564 --> 00:11:58,648
We just want to help out. Right, Bill?

273
00:11:58,674 --> 00:12:00,883
Of course. Right.

274
00:12:01,030 --> 00:12:03,517
I'll go up to three
chickens, but that's it.

275
00:12:07,243 --> 00:12:09,176
You're gonna love this, DJ.

276
00:12:09,202 --> 00:12:11,306
We jump into there...

277
00:12:11,718 --> 00:12:13,103
from up there.

278
00:12:14,540 --> 00:12:17,415
There's no way you
guys actually do that.

279
00:12:17,837 --> 00:12:19,561
I know you're not scared, DJ.

280
00:12:19,587 --> 00:12:21,780
Yeah, this is nothing
compared to the gunfire

281
00:12:21,806 --> 00:12:23,436
you said you fall asleep
to in Montgomery.

282
00:12:23,462 --> 00:12:26,913
And the interstate highway you said
you walk across to get to school.

283
00:12:34,028 --> 00:12:37,981
DJ! DJ! DJ! DJ! DJ!

284
00:12:38,007 --> 00:12:39,413
It shouldn't have mattered.

285
00:12:39,482 --> 00:12:41,519
It was just a childish dare.

286
00:12:41,545 --> 00:12:43,337
But I felt like all
my previous arguments

287
00:12:43,363 --> 00:12:46,471
about how I was growing up was
better than how they were growing up

288
00:12:46,497 --> 00:12:49,228
rested on me proving there
was nothing they could do

289
00:12:49,254 --> 00:12:50,355
that I couldn't.

290
00:12:50,381 --> 00:12:51,943
It all came down to this moment.

291
00:12:52,012 --> 00:12:55,799
DJ! DJ! DJ! DJ! DJ! DJ!

292
00:13:04,088 --> 00:13:06,475
Grandma, you made all this by yourself?

293
00:13:06,544 --> 00:13:08,063
Said she didn't want any help.

294
00:13:08,089 --> 00:13:09,648
I didn't think you'd
have the energy to cook

295
00:13:09,674 --> 00:13:11,799
after a day of meddling
in people's business.

296
00:13:11,825 --> 00:13:13,890
And you stripped all that
corn the kids shucked

297
00:13:13,916 --> 00:13:15,533
without breaking a nail?

298
00:13:15,943 --> 00:13:18,783
We got another city gal on our hands.

299
00:13:20,361 --> 00:13:23,267
Well, sweetie, let me fix your plate.

300
00:13:23,293 --> 00:13:25,494
The patriarchy's alive and well.

301
00:13:25,563 --> 00:13:27,747
She only doing this to
compete with her mother.

302
00:13:27,772 --> 00:13:30,818
Don't overthink it, son.
Enjoy it till it's over.

303
00:13:30,844 --> 00:13:33,882
Bill, I made those buttermilk biscuits

304
00:13:33,908 --> 00:13:35,392
because I know you love 'em.

305
00:13:35,418 --> 00:13:37,644
Well, you know, Mama, I
use that same recipe.

306
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:39,171
My recipe's different.

307
00:13:39,197 --> 00:13:41,475
It's not written down like yours.

308
00:13:41,501 --> 00:13:44,158
Well, I learned it from watching you,
so I don't see how it's different.

309
00:13:44,184 --> 00:13:47,102
Because writing it down
makes it taste different.

310
00:13:47,128 --> 00:13:49,549
Now I see where Mama gets it from.

311
00:13:49,575 --> 00:13:51,494
But do you see where you get it from?

312
00:13:51,856 --> 00:13:53,852
Don't you agree, Bill?

313
00:13:56,042 --> 00:13:59,447
Well... I think everybody's
biscuits are perfect.

314
00:14:00,625 --> 00:14:02,079
It's over.

315
00:14:02,807 --> 00:14:05,301
So, Bill, you'll be leaving soon.

316
00:14:05,327 --> 00:14:07,392
Let's finish up the car after supper.

317
00:14:07,541 --> 00:14:10,103
She should be ready to drive by morning.

318
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:21,632
Grandpa was right. We'd
be going home soon.

319
00:14:21,658 --> 00:14:24,171
Time was running out for
me to redeem myself.

320
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:26,101
I had one shot to prove to my cousins

321
00:14:26,127 --> 00:14:28,635
that my city life was superior.

322
00:14:28,937 --> 00:14:31,853
Whoa, DJ! You really can drive!

323
00:14:32,613 --> 00:14:33,968
Of course I can, guys.

324
00:14:33,994 --> 00:14:36,861
I told you, I do it all the time.
No biggie.

325
00:14:36,887 --> 00:14:39,409
It was a moment of pure triumph.

326
00:14:39,435 --> 00:14:42,986
And you know what? Driving a car
was a lot easier than I thought.

327
00:14:55,776 --> 00:14:59,468
As if a whooping wasn't enough
punishment for my automotive mishap,

328
00:14:59,494 --> 00:15:02,664
my grandparents gave me the
worst farm chore of all.

329
00:15:02,690 --> 00:15:05,572
Come on, now. The manure's
not gonna shovel itself.

330
00:15:06,010 --> 00:15:09,565
Mama, I spoke to the lawyer,
and he's got a solution.

331
00:15:09,591 --> 00:15:11,367
He can get you a deed for the land

332
00:15:11,393 --> 00:15:13,901
based on proof of continued residency.

333
00:15:13,927 --> 00:15:16,639
And the neighbors have agreed
to give you an easement.

334
00:15:16,708 --> 00:15:19,884
- What does that mean?
- It means they own the land in dispute,

335
00:15:19,910 --> 00:15:22,182
but they'll let you use
it for the cow to graze.

336
00:15:22,208 --> 00:15:23,888
All you have to do is sign these papers.

337
00:15:23,914 --> 00:15:27,004
What kind of solution is that? I
ain't gonna give them my land!

338
00:15:27,029 --> 00:15:29,049
It's been in my family for generations.

339
00:15:29,075 --> 00:15:33,311
Mama, a map drawn on the
back of a 1904 Sears catalog

340
00:15:33,337 --> 00:15:35,510
is not gonna hold up in a court of law.

341
00:15:35,536 --> 00:15:38,539
I ain't gonna give 'em
this land without a fight.

342
00:15:38,808 --> 00:15:40,986
And we know you love to fight.

343
00:15:41,416 --> 00:15:43,330
What does that mean?

344
00:15:43,893 --> 00:15:45,203
Ever since I've been here,

345
00:15:45,229 --> 00:15:47,601
you've had something to say
about every little thing I do.

346
00:15:47,627 --> 00:15:51,062
'Cause you come in here
thinking you're better than us!

347
00:15:51,205 --> 00:15:53,918
You're not the only one smart
enough to go to college.

348
00:15:53,944 --> 00:15:55,666
Mama, we know.

349
00:15:55,692 --> 00:15:58,390
We know that college wasn't an option

350
00:15:58,416 --> 00:16:00,299
for a Black woman when
you were coming up.

351
00:16:00,325 --> 00:16:01,753
College was an option for me.

352
00:16:01,779 --> 00:16:04,679
I was gonna study
veterinary medicine at A&M.

353
00:16:04,705 --> 00:16:07,164
But your grandma wouldn't let me go.

354
00:16:07,190 --> 00:16:09,843
Told the admissions man
that she needed me

355
00:16:09,869 --> 00:16:12,057
too much here on the farm.

356
00:16:13,213 --> 00:16:15,293
Well, why couldn't Big Granny see

357
00:16:15,319 --> 00:16:17,296
that it would've been better
for you in the long run?

358
00:16:17,322 --> 00:16:19,947
'Cause she'd never seen anybody do it.

359
00:16:20,186 --> 00:16:24,822
So I made sure I worked damn hard here

360
00:16:25,090 --> 00:16:28,001
so I'd get to see somebody do it.

361
00:16:28,297 --> 00:16:30,174
And, Mama, I appreciate it.

362
00:16:30,541 --> 00:16:32,523
But you can't be blaming me

363
00:16:32,549 --> 00:16:34,407
for what I had nothing to do with.

364
00:16:34,476 --> 00:16:37,291
I know you appreciate what I gave you.

365
00:16:38,376 --> 00:16:40,447
But sometimes...

366
00:16:41,655 --> 00:16:45,026
it's hard to see from three hours away.

367
00:16:48,713 --> 00:16:51,143
Grandma, is Lurleen okay?

368
00:16:57,645 --> 00:16:59,729
She's probably in labor.

369
00:17:01,033 --> 00:17:03,671
No. It's breeched.

370
00:17:03,697 --> 00:17:04,945
What's that mean?

371
00:17:04,971 --> 00:17:07,371
Baby's coming out backwards.
She needs our help.

372
00:17:07,397 --> 00:17:09,752
- Lillian, get me the...
- Already got it.

373
00:17:09,854 --> 00:17:12,742
- Is the cord wrapped?
- Doesn't look like it.

374
00:17:12,797 --> 00:17:15,998
But the water bag ain't broke yet.
Need to get in there and pop it.

375
00:17:16,024 --> 00:17:18,854
No, not with your arthritis.
Let me do it.

376
00:17:30,403 --> 00:17:32,073
I hardly recognized you.

377
00:17:32,099 --> 00:17:33,909
Yeah, it all just came back to me.

378
00:17:33,935 --> 00:17:35,860
How long has it been, 20 years?

379
00:17:35,886 --> 00:17:37,357
At least.

380
00:17:37,711 --> 00:17:42,049
Well, Mama, I want you to know there
is no amount of time or distance

381
00:17:42,075 --> 00:17:44,130
that will take this place out of me.

382
00:17:44,663 --> 00:17:46,320
That's nice, baby.

383
00:17:47,756 --> 00:17:50,169
But you gotta toughen that boy up.

384
00:17:50,607 --> 00:17:53,831
That's for sure! I should've
put a blanket down for him!

385
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:56,239
Mama and Grandma were finally united...

386
00:17:56,404 --> 00:17:58,026
In making fun of me.

387
00:17:58,051 --> 00:18:00,127
But it made me realize that I was guilty

388
00:18:00,153 --> 00:18:01,943
of what Grandma accused Mama of.

389
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:05,099
I'd been approaching my time
in the country all wrong.

390
00:18:10,448 --> 00:18:13,195
I realized that part of
this place was in me,

391
00:18:13,264 --> 00:18:15,094
just like it was in Mama,

392
00:18:15,163 --> 00:18:18,299
and I shouldn't have been trying
to run from that all this time.

393
00:18:18,643 --> 00:18:21,500
So on my last day, I
let my cousins awaken

394
00:18:21,526 --> 00:18:23,612
the "Country Dean" in me.

395
00:18:23,999 --> 00:18:25,687
You want to squeeze the trigger.

396
00:18:25,713 --> 00:18:27,214
Don't jerk it.

397
00:18:30,885 --> 00:18:33,127
We should call you "Eagle Eye DJ."

398
00:18:33,705 --> 00:18:36,393
Nah. "Dean" is fine.

399
00:18:37,628 --> 00:18:40,484
So, guess you'll be happy getting back

400
00:18:40,510 --> 00:18:43,464
to all the things you do in Montgomery.

401
00:18:43,729 --> 00:18:46,297
Actually, I can't wait
till we come back here.

402
00:18:46,323 --> 00:18:47,797
Can we name the calf Melvin?

403
00:18:47,823 --> 00:18:50,016
And can I help take care of
him the next time I come?

404
00:18:50,042 --> 00:18:51,636
- Sure.
- Yes!

405
00:18:51,662 --> 00:18:54,043
Put those in the trunk, son.
We'll be right out.

406
00:18:56,003 --> 00:18:58,750
Look like next time, we'll
have some body work

407
00:18:58,776 --> 00:19:00,898
to do on the car, thanks to Dean.

408
00:19:00,924 --> 00:19:03,245
Goes to show how good a job we
did on that transmission...

409
00:19:03,271 --> 00:19:05,120
A 12-year-old could drive it.

410
00:19:08,464 --> 00:19:10,942
Where are the easement papers?

411
00:19:11,011 --> 00:19:12,427
Mom, did you...

412
00:19:12,594 --> 00:19:13,871
I signed them.

413
00:19:13,897 --> 00:19:17,026
I figure it's the only way to end
this business you stirred up.

414
00:19:21,289 --> 00:19:23,284
Let's go home, baby.

415
00:19:36,505 --> 00:19:38,291
Excuse me.

416
00:19:38,885 --> 00:19:41,076
We just stopped by to
pick up some papers.

417
00:19:41,102 --> 00:19:42,465
Are you the neighbors?

418
00:19:42,491 --> 00:19:44,320
Yeah, I'm Gerald. This
is my wife, Edith.

419
00:19:44,346 --> 00:19:46,464
- Hi.
- Hi, I'm Lillian.

420
00:19:47,349 --> 00:19:49,095
"The" Lillian.

421
00:19:51,370 --> 00:19:52,727
What do you mean?

422
00:19:52,753 --> 00:19:55,581
Your mama will not stop bragging on you.

423
00:19:55,643 --> 00:19:59,301
No offense, but everyone
in town is sick and tired

424
00:19:59,327 --> 00:20:02,779
of Bessie talking about her
big-shot daughter in the city!

425
00:20:05,777 --> 00:20:07,354
Is that so?

426
00:20:18,149 --> 00:20:21,471
Yes, Mama, I just wanted to let
you know we got home safe.

427
00:20:23,215 --> 00:20:24,573
I know.

428
00:20:24,635 --> 00:20:26,492
I miss you already, too.

429
00:20:26,518 --> 00:20:28,503
I never understood how Mama and Grandma

430
00:20:28,572 --> 00:20:30,204
would be so mean to each other,

431
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:32,507
then cry about how they'd
miss each other so much.

432
00:20:32,576 --> 00:20:35,946
And, no, I'm not trying to
waste up all your electricity.

433
00:20:35,972 --> 00:20:38,128
I'mma hang up now. Love you.

434
00:20:40,557 --> 00:20:43,098
Kim, that is not how you slice a tomato!

435
00:20:43,124 --> 00:20:45,198
Cut against the core...

436
00:20:46,822 --> 00:20:48,229
You know what?

437
00:20:48,369 --> 00:20:50,129
Nothing wrong with your way.

438
00:20:50,155 --> 00:20:52,433
You just keep on being you.

439
00:20:53,807 --> 00:20:55,131
Okay.

440
00:20:58,326 --> 00:21:01,141
Those don't look like chickens
we buy from the store.

441
00:21:01,276 --> 00:21:03,331
It isn't. They're from the farm.

442
00:21:04,682 --> 00:21:06,502
Lucy and Peggy?!

443
00:21:06,733 --> 00:21:08,940
They were my friends.

444
00:21:13,733 --> 00:21:16,667
Better not tell him he gon' be
eating Melvin in two years.

445
00:21:16,693 --> 00:21:23,034
