Tom: The real reason Mud’s in the trouble he’s got is because of her. He’s been in love with that girl since he was your age. They used to run all around here and it was the same back then. He’d follow that girl wherever she led him. Problem is she don’t care about nobody but herself. I’ve told him as much. She’d bed down with the meanest snake she could find, then when things went bad she’d go runnin’ to Mud. Mud would take her back, then go find whatever unlucky sonofabitch last put a hand on her and beat ‘em ‘til they knew to never touch her again. And this time I guess he thought a beating wasn’t good enough. Had to shoot that fella. I don’t know for sure, but I’d put money on Juniper knowin’ he’d do it. And I have a suspicion she might of even told him to. Either way, those two are set for failure. Only chance Mud has is to cut her loose. Cause I’ll tell you what, Mud’s no bad ass. He’s runnin’ scared.
Ellis: I gotta go. [pauses] You’re wrong about Juniper. They love each other and they’re gonna make it. If you weren’t a wore out old man you’d know it was true.
