00:00I got a phone call from England.
00:07Where?
00:08Your mom was dead, son.
00:16So they're bringing her back.
00:17Who's bringing her back?
00:19That English bastard and his kids.
00:22Bloody fool!
00:24Damn it, Neil!
00:27None of these days your luck is gonna run out.
00:32It's like going with the wind.
00:34They're here.
00:35Hi, everybody!
00:36Will y'all come on in?
00:39This is Daddy.
00:41How'd you do, Mr. Cardwell?
00:47I hated that man for 20 years.
00:49Blamed him for ruining my life.
00:53You're in a better place now.
00:55I'm in England anyway, from what I know of it.
00:57I'm getting out of here, son.
01:00But not really.
01:01Damn, it's miserable over there.
01:04Families can be difficult.
01:05They sure can.
01:07This English accent of yours
01:09makes me hornier than Frank Sinatra.
01:12I heard you and Kingsley are going hunting.
01:14This thing feels funny.
01:15Are you all right?
01:16Hell, I put LSD in Daddy's iced tea.
01:18Ya-ya!
01:20Daddy!
01:21Man!
01:22God!
01:26Hey, Jimbo, me and Carol,
01:28we don't care that you never did see combat.
01:30There ain't no reason to be jealous about it.
01:35Daddy?
01:36I'm 18.
01:37I joined the Army.
01:41People say they don't like to talk about war
01:43because it brings up the bad memories.
01:45I believe they don't talk about it
01:46because nobody wants to hear it.
01:50Kingsley, you heard of Jane Mansfield?
01:53They had the very car she was killed in
01:55out at a discount store.
01:57We all have a crash of some sort awaiting us.
02:03How cold can it be in there?
02:05You can't even hug your own son
02:07on the day of his mom's funeral.
02:09These days, I think I spend more time accepting things.
02:13Do you believe them?
02:14You're acting like long-lost buddies.
02:40It's not gonna kill you to talk to the kids.
02:42You might be surprised what happens.
