Ellis: The girl you’re waitin’ on, she’s your girlfriend?
Mud: Juniper. Yeah.
Elis: How’d you meet her?
Mud: We grew up together.
Ellis: Do you love her?
Mud: I do. The first time I saw her was on this river. Just up from here. She saved my life.
Ellis: From the snake bite.
Mud: That’s right. I was younger than you are now, but when I came to in the hospital and she was there, it was like the world split open, came back together new. Everything changed. I knew from then on I’d do anything for her.
Ellis: Why aren’t ya’ll married?
Mud: I’ve asked. Several times. Marriage just doesn’t work for some people.
Ellis: My dad says my parents may be gettin’ a divorce.
Mud: I’m sorry to hear that.
Ellis: If it happens, and my mom moves us off the river, they say the government can come take our boat away.
Mud: Who says that?
Ellis: Everybody. They passed a law so you can’t sell your boat. Can’t rent it. If the owner leaves, they got you. Game and Fish want ‘em off the river.
Mud: I’ve never been one to trust the government on matters of personal property, but if your parents love each other, there’s always a chance.
Mud: Juniper. Yeah.
