You're going the wrong way.
The fun's in there.
Did you ever love someone so much that you felt completely out of control and kept making an idiot out of yourself, but you just couldn't help it? Yes, I did.
What happened to her? It's not what happened to her, it's what happened to me.
She broke up with me, heh.
If Kevin wants to break up with me, he can just break up with me.
Wait.
Do? Do you wanna talk? Please me all night It's makin' me feel fine Here's where I think I spend Most of my time Whenever I'm home It's World War III So from now on, baby This is where I will be Your good ol' boy's goin' bad tonight I won't get home till about daylight I found a little bar And I'm feelin' all right Your good ol' boy's goin' bad tonight Your good ol' boy's goin' bad tonight Yes, your good ol' boy's Goin' bad tonight - That was great.
- You were great.
I think I stepped on your feet.
Are you okay? I'm wearing steel-toed boots.
I'm fine.
You're really catching on fast.
Well, who knew cowboys could dance? Um, probably everyone but you.
Baby, hold me and kiss me Like you used - Have you seen Lucy? - No, but we just got here.
She was supposed to meet me an hour ago.
She's not here.
It's not like her to be late.
- Well, did you call the house? - Yes, and I actually got through.
She left an hour ago.
- But I'm a little worried about her.
- I called the station.
No major accidents in the area.
So it's probably something simple, like she went to the mall, stopped by the library, or ran into a friend.
Remind me, why doesn't your family get cell phones? Never mind.
If she's not here in 15 minutes, I'm going out to look for her, and so are you.
- I have a date.
- With? - A guy.
- What guy? - A guy you know.
- Smitty? Maybe.
No.
You can't date guys we work with.
It's not good for your career.
What you mean is it's not good for your love life.
You don't want Lucy thinking I like cops.
What I mean is you're cancelling your date to help me look for Lucy.
Cecilia and I are actually on a date right now.
So what? You're looking for Lucy too.
Well, the boys are in their beds, but that's no guarantee they'll stay there, heh.
- Who called earlier? - It was Kevin looking for Lucy.
I thought they were out together.
Lucy's supposed to meet him at the pool hall.
They have a country-western band and dancing all week.
Oh, that must make, uh Must make it difficult to shoot pool.
- I don't think they're shooting pool.
- Well, what a shame, what with it being a pool hall and all.
The music sounds really fun.
Maybe we could go.
We haven't been out in a long time.
I went out last week, and it just got me in trouble.
I'm not going out anymore.
Well, you gotta have some fun sometime.
No, I don't think I do.
I'm just gonna stay here in my house with my family.
We could do something else.
I am doing something else.
I'm thinking.
It might be fun to go and sit out under the stars and think.
That's a good idea.
I meant together.
I meant we could sit under the stars and think together.
There's a boy throwing rocks at our window.
- What boy? Jake? - No, a new one.
A stranger.
Stranger, danger.
What are you doing here? - I don't have your cell-phone number.
- Because I don't have a cell phone.
Did I get the right window? No, it's one floor up.
You live in the attic? - Yes.
Cool.
How long are you on restriction? - How long is she on restriction? - Hmm.
He's not sure.
Any chance I could go inside and talk to her? - Who are you? - Peter Petrowski.
I'm new in the neighbourhood.
I go to Ruthie's school.
We have classes together.
- I think I'm in love with her.
- She already has a boyfriend.
I know, but if I'm not mistaken, she can't see Jake right now.
She can't see anyone.
Come on, Mr.
Camden, just let me talk to her.
"Mr.
Camden.
" "Mister.
" Well, you sure aren't Mrs.
Camden, are you? "Mr.
Eric Camden.
" You run along, now.
What are all of you looking at? Dad's talking to this new guy in the neighbourhood.
I have some classes with him.
Well, it would be nice to ask him in, only, you're on restriction.
When is restriction over? - You've still got another week.
- I understand.
But on the other hand, he's just a neighbour.
A new neighbour who doesn't know anyone but me.
And I'm just the mother.
The mother who has to say no sometimes.
I'm gonna go to the pool hall.
Your father's here if you need him.
And you two are supposed to be in bed.
I tucked you in a half an hour ago.
Come on.
Good night.
I love you.
Good night.
I love you.
- Oh, how's our new neighbour? - Uh, he's He's good.
He gave me a startling new insight.
Did you notice that I changed my clothes and freshened my makeup? Is that a trick question? "It's not a new hat.
I'm wearing a gas mask.
" Never mind.
Just Do you wanna tell me what your startling new insight is? Not right now.
Right now I just wanna sit and savour every aspect of it.
- Hello? - Have you seen Lucy? She's at the pool hall.
Do you remember what time she left for the pool hall? It was a long time ago.
Did she say anything about running an errand or stopping by the library or anything like that? No.
Why? I thought maybe she misunderstood we were supposed to meet, that's all.
- Is Robbie around? - Midterm.
He went to the library.
He's going to be there all night.
Do you remember what Lucy was wearing? Something cowboy or cowgirl or cow-woman.
I forget.
Oh, jeans.
She had jeans on.
Why do you ask? Is that so you'll recognise her when you see her? Or are you worried, and you don't want me to know? I'm a little worried, but I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding.
Talk to you later.
Let's roll.
I've never actually eaten in the sanctuary before.
Well, normally, we would talk in the office, but I thought you might be uncomfortable in your father's office.
And this Well, this is my favourite place in Glenoak.
Inside this church.
It's beautiful.
- I feel at peace here.
- That's the same way my dad feels.
I quit.
Excuse me, have you seen Lucy and her boyfriend, Kevin, or Simon and his date? I think they're around here somewhere.
I know I saw Simon and a good-looking blond.
- I came down here to meet my family.
- Hmm.
Me too.
My family, that is.
Heh.
Hey, would you like to dance while we're waiting? Oh, I couldn't.
- Can you two-step? - Not really.
Heh.
Well, how about a dance lesson? Come on.
What are you afraid of? - You go first.
- No, no.
You have to go first.
Fine.
I wanna be a minister because I wanna be like my dad.
I wanna do what he does.
I wanna be who he is in the community.
And I wanna serve God.
And I wanna serve mankind.
And I believe that this is my purpose in life.
And I was guided to that purpose in a unique way: by being the daughter of a minister.
There are some people that would say women shouldn't be ministers.
Some women shouldn't.
Some should.
I should.
I know I should.
I'm absolutely certain of it.
And what makes you so absolutely certain? This is work I have vital interest in doing.
It challenges me.
It makes me feel whole.
I love to study religion and history and the Bible, and I love talking about religion, history and the Bible.
- Who do you talk to about all that? - Sometimes I talk to my dad.
Or sometimes other people in class.
Or sometimes a perfect stranger, if I have the opportunity.
What interests you the most about religion and history? That the truth survives both.
Well, you're a really smart woman.
And you've got a great sense of humour.
Thank you.
- So? - I got into this to make my parents really, really angry.
This is the last thing on the earth they want me to do.
- Why? - They're not religious people.
They're not even nice people.
They're hateful and negative and critical.
That's enough about them.
I forgot we were talking about me and why I decided to get into this line of work.
Well, I did start studying religion in college just to annoy them, but, uh, then I really became interested in it.
And so I transferred to Cobell Seminary without telling them.
And when they found out, they cut me off financially, thinking that I would just come back for my degree in business.
I don't like business.
I don't like numbers.
I don't like seeing a page filled with columns and neat little lines.
I need things messier than that.
I like things where you can't know the answer.
Not on paper, anyway.
So you just have to just trust in the unseen and the all-powerful to guide you without knowing where you're going.
I think the willingness to do that is empowering and awesome.
In the old sense of the word.
And I like words.
I'm fascinated with words.
Not just in their meaning, but in the abstract.
In their creative power that they hold in infinite combinations.
I'm not a great speaker.
More like a great reader and a mediocre conversationalist.
I'd say you're a little bit better than mediocre.
So who do you like to talk to? Any one person.
Just Any more than that, and I'm lost.
What about church services? Speaking to a crowd from the pulpit? I'm okay as long as I don't get more than one heckler.
Kevin, I'm not doing this.
I'm not wasting my entire night looking for your crazy girlfriend.
She may be crazy, but she knows her way to the pool hall.
Well, then chances are she came to the pool hall, saw us dancing, and left.
Did you see Lucy come to the pool hall? - No, but - "But" nothing.
It isn't like her to be late.
And if she did see us, then she would've come up to us and said something.
That's how she is.
She says what's ever on her mind and doesn't care who's listening.
If she saw us, and she was jealous, you know, and I know, she'd be right in our faces.
That's how she is.
She's very good at communicating her feelings.
I know you don't like her.
I don't care if you don't like her.
Good, because I don't.
I think she's silly and immature and - You do care that I don't like her.
- Of course I care.
Well, then you shouldn't have said that.
Now I know that.
So from now on, you should just not share your feelings.
Okay.
Look.
Just kiss me.
Just once.
- What? - That's all I'm asking.
Just one kiss.
Come on.
It's not like you're officially engaged or anything.
I don't have to be officially engaged.
I'm in love with Lucy.
I don't wanna kiss you.
Oh.
That didn't sound polite.
I don't wanna kiss any woman.
That didn't sound right either.
You know what I mean.
Don't be trying to seduce me.
You're my partner.
My life may depend on you someday.
We're not kissing.
Not now, not ever, not for any reason.
I just thought that one time wouldn't hurt anything.
One kiss can change everything.
Everything.
Why did you become a cop? I've wanted to be a cop since I was a kid.
So don't get all confused and think that I'm not good at my work just because I wanted to kiss you.
- We're not on duty.
- I just wanted to know.
I thought maybe it's time we get to know each other better.
Maybe if you knew me better, you wouldn't have asked me to do stupid stuff like kiss you.
My mom was a witness to a crime.
A neighbour nearly beat his wife to death.
My dad talked her into identifying him.
She came out of the police station, and somebody shot her.
She died three days later.
And even before that, my dad was obsessed with his work.
Then he became more obsessed with his work.
Then I became obsessed with his work.
And we never did find out who killed her.
I'm really sorry about your mom.
Really, really sorry.
Well, it was a long, long time ago.
Now will you kiss me? I'm just trying to lighten things up.
I still miss my mom.
And believe me, kissing you is not gonna make me miss her any less.
Come on, smile.
I will never try to kiss you again.
Maybe we shouldn't even talk again either.
No.
Maybe you were right.
Maybe we should talk more.
Why did you become a cop? Your dad was a firefighter, right? - He died in a fire? - That's why Ben became a firefighter.
Ben wanted to go after the thing that killed my father.
But I don't wanna die like that, and I don't wanna live like that either.
You put out one fire, another one always comes along.
You fight the same faceless enemy over and over.
Yeah, but it's kind of the same for us, isn't it? I mean, we get one bad guy, and then another bad guy comes along, and then another, and another.
I've never found two of them to be exactly the same.
Different faces.
Different personalities.
And you never know who the enemy is.
I like that.
I just made myself nervous.
I hope Lucy's okay.
- I'm sure she's fine.
- You're not always right.
You know I almost got into profiler training, right? What's "almost"? Well, they didn't accept me, but they'll reconsider.
Until then, you're just an amateur psychic.
Yeah? Well, I predict Lucy's going to be fine, and one day you're gonna kiss me.
All the stores are closing.
There's no Lucy.
She's not at home.
- Are you worried? - I'm a little worried.
I'm sure Kevin will find her.
I'm sorry about having to spend the night - looking for my sister.
- It's okay.
Can I make it up to you tomorrow night? I have to work.
- I didn't know you had a job.
- I work for my dad.
I make really good money scrubbing toilets.
- Really? - Really and truly.
Mopping floors and cleaning sinks too.
My dad owns the cleaning service that cleans schools for the county.
Oh.
I thought you knew.
You don't have a problem with my being a night janitor, do you? Because it's honest work.
There's nothing wrong with it.
There's nothing wrong with it.
I didn't say there was anything wrong with it.
You have a job? No, I don't have a job.
I went out of business.
I know the escort service didn't work out.
What happened after that? After that, nothing.
I just went back to collecting my usual allowance, which isn't much.
You still get an allowance? You could get a job, but instead you take an allowance? I help out around the house.
That's good, honest work.
I help out around the house.
What responsible family member doesn't help out around the house? - You get paid to do that? - I'm going to get a job.
- I am.
- I would hope so.
Look, Mr.
Camden, I know you told me to go home, but I can't.
I think my mom fell asleep and locked the door.
She probably thought I was in my room since I left via my window.
- "Via"? - By.
It was the shortest way to the garage.
My science experiment's out there.
Would you like to go inside and use the phone? - Yeah, that would work.
- Phone's on the counter.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Who are you? - Who are you? - Kevin.
I live here.
- Peter.
I live down the street.
Ruthie's dad said I could use the phone.
There's some kid downstairs named Peter.
- What's he doing? - Using the phone.
- Is he a friend of yours? - I don't really know him.
He was the new guy at the beginning of the school year.
- He seems okay.
- No, he doesn't.
It's 9:00, and he's in the kitchen using our phone.
He said your dad let him in.
- Is Lucy here? - Nope.
Mom? Ma, pick up the phone.
It's me, Peter.
Peter, your son.
Let me in the house.
You locked me out.
I gotta do my homework and go to bed.
I got school tomorrow.
Mom.
Mom, pick up, please.
You go get your dad.
I'll keep an eye on Peter.
Where do you live exactly? Corner house, end of the street.
My partner and I will take you home.
I'm a police officer.
- You don't look like a cop.
- I am.
- Come on, I'll take you home.
- No, that's okay.
It might scare my mom if I just showed up with some stranger.
- Even a cop.
I'm fine.
- You want a sandwich before you go? I was gonna make one for myself and my partner.
Well, if you were gonna make one anyway.
Hey, what are you doing outside? I came out the front door to avoid the kitchen because Peter's in the kitchen talking to Kevin.
We heard him on the phone, and it sounds like he's in trouble.
So hurry up.
Get in there and do something.
I think his mom fell asleep and accidentally locked him out of the house.
- Does that sound right to you? - Does that sound right to you? Dad, it sounds like he's in trouble.
Oh, don't panic.
I'll get someone to help him.
- Someone? Why can't you? - I'm out of the business.
Do you mean you're taking some time off? Nope.
Come here.
- I'm quitting.
- Quitting what? - My job.
- Well, what are you going to do? I don't know.
But I'm sure it'll come to me.
And the possibilities just seem endless and exciting and energising.
Okay, but for now, there's a 12-year-old in our kitchen, and Kevin's keeping him there until you can figure out what to do.
Maybe Kevin can figure out what to do.
Maybe.
But Kevin's busy trying to find Lucy.
I think they had a fight or something.
So you go help Peter.
You know, I'm tired of people needing my help.
- But But But what about Peter? - Kevin can probably handle it.
And if he can't, your mom will be home soon.
You say someday you'll be leavin' me But your movin' toward the door Is something I have yet to see, baby You're gonna You having a good time, Mrs.
Camden? Sure.
I love to dance.
It's fun.
Of course, I'd rather be out with my husband.
Something's wrong with him, and I don't know what to do.
Well, didn't he just have open-heart surgery? Yes, about a month ago.
And I'm afraid they took out a piece of his heart.
Did you have a good time down at the pool hall? I would've had a better time if you'd come with me, but I I danced.
I was hoping you would.
You need to dance and sing and play.
We all do.
I mean, everyone does.
Yeah.
You've had a few rough weeks here, but it's gonna get better.
You know that, don't you? One day soon, you'll feel like your old self.
- Mm, I don't think so.
- Why not? Because I don't wanna feel like my old self.
I'm getting out of the business.
- You're what? - I'm getting out.
I'm tired, and I hurt, and I'm finished with God and Church and helping people.
Are you finished because you thought your heart problems were behind you, or because there's an associate pastor at the church who you had nothing to do with? Eric, you needed the help.
Even if you hadn't had the surgery, you still would've needed the help.
And that's not a bad thing.
It's a good thing.
You've done such a great job of building up that church that it's a little too much for any one man, even you.
Especially me.
I don't know.
The God business is just not working so well for me anymore.
I'll tell you what's not working anymore.
This anger, this self-pity, is not working anymore.
Chandler is not your enemy.
Your doctor, your surgeon, your heart, they're not your enemies.
They're gifts.
Gifts from God.
You're taking lemonade and turning it into lemons.
So you have a few challenges ahead of you.
Get out there and start working again.
Start living again.
I thought you didn't want me to push myself.
I don't want you to push yourself, but it's time to get back in the game.
You know? Ask not what God can do for you, Eric Camden.
Ask what you can do for God.
Well, I knew she would be upset.
Ma, it's me and my friends Kevin and Roxanne.
Open the door.
Ma.
Finally.
I don't know who you are, but you better not have hurt my son, or I'll Or Okay, who are you? I live down the street with the Camdens.
Reverend Camden asked me to walk Peter home because Peter was locked out of the house.
I'm a police officer.
This is my partner.
We're off duty.
Did you say "reverend"? I thought he was just a mister.
I had no place to go.
I know Ruthie Camden, so I went down to her house.
Plus, she's really cute, and she's not allowed to see her boyfriend right now.
How did you get locked out? I was outside in the garage working on my science project, - and you locked me out.
He's just a little kid.
You can't let your problems with drugs or alcohol ruin his life.
Get some help.
I don't have a problem with drugs or alcohol.
Where did you get an idea like that? The kid says he's been calling you all night.
You wouldn't pick up the phone.
We assumed you passed out from something.
You ever consider I might've passed out from being tired? I'm tired.
I wake up at 5 a.
m.
I run three miles.
I come home.
I make breakfast.
I make Peter's lunch.
I get dinner prepared so he can put it in the microwave in case I get stuck at the office.
I drive him to school.
At lunch, I take a yoga class to reduce the stress in my life.
And then I work all afternoon, and sometimes until 8- or 9- or 10:00 at night, at which point I stuff my briefcase with whatever work I wasn't able to finish, and I bring it home with me.
Not that I ever get around to working on my work at home.
Once I get here, I have laundry and ironing and housecleaning and all that other fun stuff.
I am a single working mom.
I work.
That is how we got this house.
And that is how we are gonna keep this house.
I am gonna do whatever I have to to see that my son has the same life he would've had if his father hadn't left us.
So you can take your crazy drug and alcohol theories and shove them.
That's why you're trying to be super-mom? Because super-lazy, no-good Dad left us? - You knew he was lazy? - And no-good.
Parents think we don't notice.
I don't need a house, and I can make my own sandwich if I have to.
So you can lay off the casseroles.
The only thing I need is you.
So try not to kill yourself working, okay? Okay.
- We'll just say good night.
- Good night.
Is that guy single? I'll find out.
Your mom's been down here all night looking for you.
- Did she just say "all night"? - You better call her.
Simon.
Hey.
Your mom's looking for you and Lucy.
Well, we're all looking for Lucy, but what's my mother doing down here? I think she just wanted to get out of the house.
- Did you have any luck? - Nope.
- Lucy never showed up? - Nope.
We went by the house.
She didn't go back home.
Anyone check the church? What would she be doing at the church? I have no idea.
If she did see us dancing, and she didn't say anything to us, maybe she needed to talk to someone else.
Maybe she's talking to Chandler.
Why would she be talking to Chandler? I don't know.
He's a minister.
He helps people, doesn't he? Maybe she needed some help.
Well, if she needed help from a minister, she could go home and get help from her father.
Look, I don't even know why I said the church.
She probably isn't even there.
Why don't you just go home and wait for her? Because I think I've waited long enough, and she better not be talking to that minister instead of talking with me.
The one time a camera crew came to film my dad, Ruthie stuck a Tic Tac up her nose.
He had to rush down from the pulpit and take her to the emergency room.
I'm glad someone's amused.
- Hi.
Kevin.
Lucy and I were just discussing the perils of being in the ministry.
For three hours? I'm sorry.
I should've called you.
Yeah.
That way, I wouldn't have been out looking for you all night.
Especially if I'd known you'd been out on a date with another man.
Oh, this was not a date.
- What was it? - We were just talking.
Looks like you were having a picnic and talking.
What else were you doing? Well, we weren't dancing and holding each other close and laughing.
We weren't doing that.
You saw me dancing with Roxanne at the pool hall? And so you thought you'd get back at me by going out with Chandler? I didn't think I'd get back at you, and I'm not out with Chandler.
Yes, you are out with Chandler.
Look, I saw Lucy come out of the pool hall, and she was upset.
I asked her if she wanted to go somewhere and talk.
So she didn't ask you out.
You asked her out.
I don't care.
All I care about is that you two were out together when Lucy was supposed to be out with me.
No, wait.
That's not all I care about.
I also care about the fact that you two seem to think that this is all okay because you're in a church, and you're a minister, and you wanna be a minister.
But I've got news for both of you: I'm not buying it.
You were angry and jealous, and so you've been out flirting with him.
You saw an opportunity and took advantage of it.
- Kevin, I'm sorry.
- Don't.
Don't apologise.
Don't make up any excuses.
If we have problems, Lucy, in the future, we work them out together.
Is everything okay? That's my dad.
I have to go.
Dad, this is my friend Simon who is out of work.
Simon, this is my dad, George.
- Uh, you over 16? - Yes.
And I'm gonna get a job.
Well, I can give you a job right now.
You ever scrubbed a toilet before? - Only at home.
- That's okay.
They're all basically the same.
You can start tomorrow night.
Thanks.
I don't wanna go home tonight And pretend that it's all right Peter called, and everything's fine.
Evidently, his mom's just single and overworked.
I'm sure he'll be fine.
They'll be fine.
- Good night.
- Good night.
You don't wanna know any of the details? Nope, don't need to.
Thanks.
If things don't work out with Lucy and Kevin, Peter's mom is interested in him.
Good to know.
- Where have you been? - On the back porch with Dad.
- I think he's going to be fine in time.
- Well, he's had enough time.
Whether or not you continue doing God's work, you still need your sleep.
We're going to bed now, you and me.
You are not - Whatever it is, I can't help you.
I can't help anyone.
I don't wanna help anyone.
I quit.
I'm going to bed now.
We have to talk.
You have to listen to me.
That kiss was my fault.
Earlier this evening, when I was riding around with Kevin looking for you, I practically begged him to kiss me, and he refused.
You what? I just wanted to see if he would kiss me.
Just one kiss.
And he refused because he's in love with you, and he never wants to kiss any other woman again.
- Yet he did.
- But it was stupid.
The whole thing was stupid.
And he only did it because he completely lost control when he found out you'd been with Chandler all night.
- Talking, not kissing.
- Look, listen to me.
That kiss was my fault.
All my fault.
And I'm sorry.
I'm really very sorry.
But I know Kevin loves you, and you know he loves you.
So if you wanna blame anyone for this whole terrible evening, blame me.
Believe me, I'd like to blame you, but it's not your fault.
It's my fault, and I accept complete responsibility.
Or I did before I heard this.
I knew Kevin would be out looking for me when I didn't show up.
Yet I didn't call him.
I was almost hoping that he would find me and be jealous, because I was angry at the two of you and jealous of you.
I was really looking forward to going out tonight.
And I didn't know you would be at the pool hall.
And when I saw the two of you dancing, I I just snapped.
I feel like I'm always competing with you.
Competing and losing.
And - You begged him to kiss you? - I was supposed to be on a date.
Instead, I spent my one night off riding around with Kevin looking for you and listening to how much he loves you.
He's a great guy, Luce, and he is madly in love with you.
Yet somehow you always seem to doubt that.
So I don't know, I doubted it too.
I wanted to see if I could get anywhere with him.
I can't.
Because he is truly and madly in love with you.
Tell me again why you're here.
Because Kevin's down at the pool hall.
He's not going to apologise to you for kissing me, even though we both know he feels like an idiot.
So I'm apologising to you.
Go to him.
Make up with him.
- He did kiss you.
- Come on.
Don't you minister types preach forgiveness? I'm not a minister yet.
I don't preach anything.
Okay.
Aren't you a Christian? Don't you believe in forgiving? Hey, guys.
How are you? When you and your baby Have a fallin'-out Just call me up, sweet mama And we'll go steppin' out And we'll go honky-tonkin' Honky Could I have this dance? For the rest of my life.
We'll go honky-tonkin' Round this town What's really bothering you? That I was dancing with Roxanne, or that I was married before? - If you can call it that.
- I can call it that.
And thinking of you with anyone else makes me very, very jealous, and angry, and motivates me to do stupid things.
Lucy, I was 18.
Eighteen when I married.
Eighteen when I divorced.
Eighteen when I fell out of love with her.
I'm not gonna let you punish me for a mistake I made seven years before I even met you.
I really wasn't trying to punish you for being married or for dancing with Roxanne.
It's just that I wanna be the only woman you dance with for the rest of your life.
By the way, about tonight, you're forgiven.
By the way, you're not.
And bring along some dough And we'll go honky-tonkin' Honky-tonkin' Honky-tonkin', honey, baby We'll go honky-tonkin' Round this town
