The way that you are….That comes to mind, a clip from the song from The Smashing Pumpkins. The tune is fresh but the lyrics are blurred.

The guys were all outside talking about their choice to stay or to leave. They were all saying that he was waisting his time on her. It is time for her to go on her own, but this is a great opportunity that they cannot pass up. They all give him sympathy saying that yes she is pretty and probably worth it. But there is a point when two opposing paths need to go their separate ways. She has survived all this time and longer than that before he met her. If he feels in his gut that he needs to make a stand, he should, and if she doesn’t bow down, then she should leave on her own, because there are many good things that he has already passed up and there will be plenty of fish in the sea. As one of the guys was telling him that, she comes into the picture and of coarse, that awkward silence hits everyone. “You want me to leave?” she asks.

He stands up to try to defend himself when the host comes out excitedly.

“My friends! What you think? Will you stay and work? In exchange for food and a bed? For two days I ask. And speaking of food, I have a feast for you. Eat up tonight. Tomorrow there is much work to be done. You like beer? Everyone drink. I want each one to know that I appreciate you. I appreciate the work. I appreciate the friendship. I thank the Lord for the food and this ranch! So do you want a beer or do I have to drink alone again?”

They all got a large plate of food and a beer. This all was a treat for them cause they had been out on the road with little food and no showers. Now they are here getting treated like royalty it felt to them.

The seventeen year old boy goes to sit next to her sitting alone with an angry face. He tries cheering her up and tries to explain that she walked out at the worst time and heard things wrong. Ain’t that the way it happens though? Like on Eminem’s song where he jokingly says “oops my CD just skipped. And everyone heard you let one rip.” The Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy is another hilarious example where Arthur Dent blurts out “everyone here are just drunken idiots!” as the CD stops long enough for everyone to hear him.

But the young boy continues to cheer her up and as he says “we were all just saying that we all need this. We think you are great. And smart. And pretty. I would not have gone as far as we did I don’t think. But we were telling Leo that you should stay for a couple days too but if not…then you…should…go…your…separate…” his words start to slow down as his eyes caught the view of a beautiful young lady inside the house.
