“Lars Jorgensen: Its this country killed my boy. Yes, by golly, I tell you Ethan
Mrs. Jorgensen: Now Lars. It just so happens we be Texicans. A Texican is nothing but a human man way out on a limb, this year, and next, maybe for a hundred more. But I dont think itll be forever. Someday this countrys going to be a fine good place to be. Maybe it needs our bones in the ground before that time can come.”
