Got it hurt in a dynamite blast, son. The dirty dogs had no more use for me, so they let me have time off my sentence, and let me come home.

REBECCA
The most important thing is that you're home!

We was gonna have cold eatin' tonight, 'cause of the heat, but now I'm goin' to cook!

NATHAN LEE
Well, let's get to it, Miss Rebecca, 'cause I been waitin' too long a time, for your good cookin'!

Nathan and the children are at the table just after eating as Rebecca is busying herself in the area, cleaning up.

All I can say, Rebecca, is that was some meal! Thank you!
