Summary

Set in the 50s in a small Texas town, this is a coming of age drama about a group of young kids between boyhood and manhood. Sam the Lion (Ben Johnson), the old owner of a small fast food and hang out place, is kind of the father figure and mentor of all these kids.

In this scene he is out in the countryside with his kid and Sonny Crawford (Timothy Bottoms), one of the kids that hangs out at his place. Looking at the scenery, he tells Sonny about his old memories of the place and his wife....

Excerpt
SAM THE LION: "I never liked to clean fish or eat them either. You spend half your time picking out bone. I just come out here to get a little scenery. Too pretty a day to spend in town. You wouldn't believe how this country has changed. First time I seen it, there wasn't a mesquie tree on it. Or a prick pear neither. I used to own this land, you know. First time I watered a horse at this tank was more than 40 years ago. I reckon the reason I drag you out here is I'm just as sentimental as the next fellow when it comes to old times. Old times. I brought a young lady swimming out here once...more than 20 years ago. It was after my wife had lost her mind. My boys was dead. Me and this young lady was pretty wild, I guess,. In pretty deep. We used to come hee on horseback and swim with no bathing suits. One day she wanted to swim the horses across this tank. Kind of a crazy thing to do, but we done it anyway. She bet me a silver dollar she could beat me across. She did. This old horse I was riding didn't want to take the water. She was always looking for something to do like that. Something wild. I bet she still got that silver dollar....."
