LUKE You never wanted to live forever anyways, did you? It wasn't such a hell of a life.

ARLETTA Oh, I had me some high old times. Yore old man, Luke, wasn't much for stickin' around, but damn it he made me laugh.

LUKE Yeah, would of been nice to of knowed him, the way you talk about him.

She's looking at him and begins to laugh, losing control and coughing to the point it alarms John and Jackson and they have to help her. She pays no attention to the cough.

LUKE He'd… He'd of… broke you up.

She quiets after the fit and lies back, tired.

ARLETTA You think life is some kind of ocean voyage and you start out with bunting' and hollering' and high hopes, but the damn ship goes down before you ever reach the other side. Luke?

LUKE Here, Mom.

ARLETTA What went wrong?

LUKE Nothin'. Ever'thing's cool's can be.

ARLETTA No.

LUKE Tried to live always just as free and aboveboard as you been, and well, they ain't that much elbow room.
