Killer Bees

All right, Lyndon, let's see if you can answer this one

Short horned cattle

Three major color patterns. What are they?

Red, brown, and white

Average yield of a crop of wheat?

Approximately around 80 bushels or 80 million individual grains

When's your mother's birthday?

- Dad... - Answer the question

April 26th

And what are the four Hs?

My head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty...

My hands to larger service...

And my health to better living

Now name me the small seeded grains

I'll get it

I think it went in the junk pile

Okay!

Dad! I'm stuck Dad!

Dad! Dad!

Lyndon? Lyndon!

Pull your arm out now

Run to the truck!

Remember, folks, it's pollination season

Watch out for the mobile apiaries rolling into your area

Speaking of bees, the annual Sumas Honey Fest is...

- Down 6 points - Anybody awake at the jail this morning?

10-4, Sheriff. We're open for business

Hey, Slim, that coffee machine working today?

That's a negative on the java, sir

You need to sign the purchase order so I can take it over to Hank's and get it fixed

Yeah, yeah, yeah

- Hey, Slim... - Uhuh

Why don't you lighten up a little bit?

10-4, Sheriff

In state legislature, the family farm relief bill stalled again

Legislators hoped to table a new bill sometime next year

In the meantime, farmers in distress are asked to be patient

In sports...

Stop and say hello to old Norbert

Morning, Norbert

Sumas Honey Festival

- Hi, dad - Hey, don't stop on account of me

That sounds pretty good, son

Are you guys ready for the big gig down at the fairgrounds?

- What do you care anyway, huh? - He's just doing it to impress Nadine

Dylan. Dylan, come on

- So how's my little blue ribbon winner, huh? - Not yet, Dad. You'll jinx it

I'm not going to jinx anything. Where's your mom?

Upstairs

Audrey, it's me

I need a clean duty shirt

Just a minute

How come I see more of you now than I did when we were together?

Did you get a job?

Assistant Manager at the Dairy Castle

- Sissy called - Oh Lord! Not again

That's a pretty good honey. Wait a second

Your daughter made that

You'd know that if you spent more time with them

I'm cultivating a hive for Rural Youth

Bees?

She's been at it for two months, Lyndon

I'm showing my supers at the fair

"Supers" are what beekeepers call their hives

So, where are you keeping this super thing?

Behind the garage

All right, well, as long as it stays there

Audrey, I swear you make the best cup of coffee

That Dairy Castle's lucky to have you

I'm worried about him

Dylan? I'll see you later!

He'!

How much longer am I going to have to keep ironing your shirts?

- I don't expect you to iron my... - It's been six months, Lyndon

What are we waiting for?

We've got enough money saved to pay for the divorce now

I don't know. I thought the separation was working fine

I don't know where I am

The kids see us together

- We're not together - Audrey, I don't...

We need to get on with our lives

Have you men somebody?

How could I with us tripping over each other?

You know, Audrey, when we lost the farm, your confidence in me went with it

That is you talking, not me

All I want is peace of mind

All right? We're always at each other's throats, and for what? Money?

Money's been a third wheel in our marriage for as long as I can remember

I think we should try to stay out of each other's way

- Is that what you want? - Mmh

Okay, fine. We're going to try that

Zeke called here this morning looking for you

- You're taking his house today, aren't you? - Don't start with me

I cannot bear the thought of you working for that Dittwaller, Lyndon. How could you?

How could you even speak to him after what he did to us?

You know, all the farmers in Sumas think you are a traitor

You know what? Dittwaller didn't take our farm. The bank did

Lyndon, Dittwaller is the bank

Do you think I like kicking people off of farms

that have been in their family for a hundred years? Huh?

It sure beats living off food stamps, don't it?

I've got to go

You know Audrey, when we lost the farm, your confidence in me went with it

That is you talking, not me

I miss this place

What the?

Dittwaller, I want you off of my property

It's the bank's property now, Mr. Gillman

Oh yeah? We'll see about that

Sheriff! He's got a gun!

Yeah, and it's loaded too. Huh? Huh?

Now, Zeke, let's not go and make this any worse than it already is

Oh, you go to heck, Harris, you damn traitor

I thought you was one of us. Now, don't worry about it

Don't worry about it

The Sheriff here ain't going to be taking us off to jail for this, are you Sheriff?

Not as long as you stop shooting at us, I won't

Give us a little time to collect a few personals

Go on, Zeke. Take all the time you need

Now, I want to press charges, you hear that?

Whatever you say, Mayor, but it ain't going to hold up in court

He's going for the truck!

Well, don't you stand there! Go after him!

- Now mayor, let's be reasonable - Do something

I want him arrested!

- On what charges? - Attempted murder

Oh now, if Zeke wanted us shot, we would have never gotten near the place

Well, then, grand theft auto. That truck belongs to me now

This place has been in his family since before the rail road went through here

Now to you, it's just another asset, but to them, it's their family history

I'll come back later and smooth things out with Zeke

Don't worry, you'll get your truck

You just make sure it's sooner than later

How did it go with Zeke?

Oh, I gave him another week

I bet Mayor Dittwaller wasn't very happy about that

You know, I don't care what Dittwaller thinks

You can't kick a man out of his house and expect him just to pack up just like that

Well, yeah... it's been three weeks, Lyndon

- Well, it's going to have to be four, isn't it? - Hey you know, you're the sheriff, right?

Oh, gee, Ed Stillwell called out on 15

Said some kids were at his place the other night

busted up a chicken coop, let the hogs out, you know

Seems to be a lot of that going on

Do me a favor. Drive out there and talk to him for me

Ever since I've become the law, me and the farm boys just don't see eye to eye

Alright

Oh, hey

Sissy called

Lord. Doesn't she ever give it a rest?

It's about time you come and did something about them trucks speeding into Sumas

Well, these trucks are here to pollinate the crops, Sissy, I mean...

You're right in the middle of the main thoroughfare. What can I do?

The whole place shakes every time they go by

Every year, there's more and more of these things

- Well, I... - See?

Can't you divert them to the state road?

Sissy, you're going to have to talk to the Mayor about that, now

I mightjust do that

it seems that the only way things get done around here is if Dittwaller gets involved

Yeah well, he's done so much for the town

I haven't seen you before, mister

Why are you contracting all the way up here?

Oh yeah, you don't speak English?

Well, the price is good enough, that's for darn tooting

If May would've been here... she would be smiling

Danger. Living bees

Well, I'll be...

The Sumas honey queen has lost her crown

What can I get for you, Zeke?

Give me one of them honey glazed

That's 37 cents

That man of yours come by to bring me a little greeting this morning

Well, unfortunately, that is not an uncommon occurrence around these parts

Audrey that's a shame. he's got to be right in the middle of all of this

Yes, Zeke, it is

I put an extra one in there for you

You take care

- Alright - Okay

She survived all those tornadoes

Though they drove her to the brink

Yeah

Now I'm drunk again and owing

Cause of little mama dying

m "In.

What the heck? Darn

What the heck are you doing?

You can't drive like that

Oh, man!

Hey, amigo?

You stopped right in the middle of the darn road

There was no way I could avoid you

Your truck don't have a scratch on it...

Mine is just trashed

Insurance. Give me your insurance papers

Insurance-o

What the heck are you doing?

Hey!

That's Dittwaller's truck

He's going to get you
