  DAVID LEE
 Come on!
David sees Sounder through the front door screen, scratching to get in - he hurriedly lets the dog in, and they all dash out the back door.

24.  EXT. THE BACKYARD - DAY      24.

Rebecca is hanging out wash on the clothes line as the children rush toward her.

  DAVID LEE
 Mama, there's hot meat on the stove!

  REBECCA
 That's right!

  DAVID LEE
 Where did it come from, Mama?

  REBECCA
 Where all meat come from - now git yourself washed up and be snappy about it - you got six miles ahead of you to that school.

She heads for the kitchen while the children proceed to wash up at the well.

25.  INT. THE KITCHEN - DAY        25.

Rebecca enters the kitchen and immediately starts preparing breakfast as Nathan is awakened and is standing in the doorway to the kitchen from their room. She notices him and stops her work for a moment.

  REBECCA
 Good mornin', Nathan.

  NATHAN LEE
 Mornin' . . .

  REBECCA
 You ready to eat?

  NATHAN LEE
 I'll wait till after the children.

She goes back to preparing the food as she moves into the kitchen to put together some scraps of food for Sounder.
