This is your pa after a fight, God rest his soul. His face is a little bloody after beating Buddy Smith within an inch of his life for calling your grandma a whore. We are true Kentuckians. Stand up for family.
Wow. That... that's what I do. I didn't know it was a Kentucky thing.
These are your brothers, Biff and Barry after going deer hunting. I got their first kill right up there on the wall. And that is your Uncle Travis with one of his biggest catfish catches.
70 pound.
You use your arm as bait?
Used my fist and my arm. Stick it in the hole, catfish chomps down on it, pull him out.
Damn. (LAUGHS)
Heh, hurts a little bit but it's a hell of a lot of fun.
And that's your sister Bambi. She used to think the camera flash was a poltergeist. [Laughs]
And what about my mother?
[Sucks in teeth] She ran off, sweetie. We never heard from her again. About the same time we lost you.
Why did you leave me at the gas station?
[Sighs] It was an accident, Barty. Your daddy went to pee and he left you at the double bubble machine because you loved to watch those little gumballs. And... he thought that I grabbed you and I thought that he grabbed you and the car was full of kids and didn't none of us know till we drove ten hours into the next state. You'll see. Tomorrow, when the whole family comes over for the barbecue... You never left our hearts.
[Refers to framed photo above fireplace] Who's this?
That's Great Grandpa Colonel Joe Petersman. He was a decorated raider in the Civil War.
[Referring to two African-Americans on either sides of him] Who're the two guys behind him?
Jessup and Harold. Old members of the family.
