(Waitress) No problem, take your time. I’ll be back to take your orders

in a few moments. Nice to see you again. (Mike) Thanks Carla.

The Gate Guard’s son enters the section of the restaurant drunk.

(Gate Guard’s son) Carla, bring me some fucking’ food right now, and

don’t try to bring me any damn coyote burgers either. (Waitress) Ed,
you’ve been drinking again. (Gate Guard’s son) So, what’s new? Oh look,

here’s Mr. Kelly. Big man fined me some fucking work. (Mike) Ed, keep it
down. When you sober up, give me a call about a job. Now I feel you had

best go home and get some sleep. (Gate Guard’s son) Thanks Mr. Kelly.
I’ll go home, but to have another fucking drink. (Waitress) Thanks Mr.
Kelly, for dealing with Ed. He used to be a hard worker. We don’t have

enough jobs for all the people here.

Switch to Ben and Tracey out in front of Ben’s home.

(Tracey) Ben, let’s forget about your dreams for now and take your

grandfather home. (Blackfoot) You talk as if I’m an old man. I don’t need
a ride home. My truck is outside. (Tracey) Grandfather, I just thought

you could do with a little rest. You live a long way from town. (Blackfoot)
Tracey, I know you’re looking out for my best interests, but age to me is

just a number. I’m young at heart. (Ben) Grandfather, what’s your
secret? (Blackfoot) Sex, sex and more sex. (Tracey) I thought it would

kill you, not help you live longer.

AT that moment, Ben’s Dad enters the room.

(Ben’s Dad) Blackfoot, stop being crazy. Act your age old man.

(Blackfoot) Tell me, grandson, how do you act at over one hundred years
old? (Ben’s Dad) I don’t know. Try reading or giving words of wisdom or

something. (Tracey) It’s all right, Mr. Begay. Blackfoot is refreshing to
say the least. I have to go home now, but I’ll see you tomorrow Ben. (Ben)

Hold on, I’ll walk you outside. (Tracey) Good night, Mr. Begay. (Ben’s
Dad) “Night, Tracey”. (Tracey) Will I see you tomorrow Blackfoot?
(Blackfoot) No, I’m going to stay home and pray for our people. (Tracey)
