Mud
Unraveling Trouble and Responsibility Among Friends
Neckbone I knew it. I told you that dirty son of a bitch was trouble. Did they say what he did?
Ellis No.
Neckbone Did you tell them where he is?
Ellis No, that's why I called you. He needs to know people are looking for him.
Neckbone You think he doesn't know that already? Jesus, Ellis! Why do you even think he's on that island? Ellis, I'm serious! We don't know who this guy is.
Ellis He loves her, Neck. He told me.
Neckbone I don't give a shit who he loves!
Ellis He's not dangerous.
Neckbone Sounds like a shitload of state troopers thinks differently.

Mud
Fear and Respect for Nature's Dangers
Neckbone I hate snakes.
Mud That’s because God made them for us to fear. It’s a thing we knew to be afraid of before we even got into this world. Cherokee would wrap snake skin around their pregnant women’s bellies. Induce labor, scare the child out. Here. Set that ‘round your bed at night. Snake won’t cross braided rope.
[He fetches a length of rope out of the duffel bag and tosses it to Neckbone.]
Neckbone Thanks. So what’s that for then?
[nods to Mud’s snake tattoo]
Mud A reminder. Don’t get bit. I was 10, swimmin’ ‘bout a mile up from here. Me and Juniper. Sonofabitch swam right up under me, bit me just below the armpit. June got me out, got me to a clinic. Doctor said I shoulda been dead in twenty minutes. Took us an hour just to get back to town.
Neckbone What’d they do?
Mud Gave me antivenom. For a cotton mouth. See here. Problem with antivenom is they can only give it to you once. It’s made from horse blood. Your body would reject it a second time. The cure ends up being more dangerous than the poison.
[Mud shows the tattoo on top of his right hand. He points out the two cotton blossoms bulging from the snake’s mouth.]
Ellis What happens if you get bit again?
Mud I die, or just sweat it out.

Mud
A Proposal of Trade Among Friends
Mud I like you two. You remind me of me. And seeing how you boys are from Arkansas and we know some people and sounds like we all from the same place I'd say we can make a deal here about somethin'.
Ellis A deal for what?
Mud Food. Food for a boat.
Neckbone This guy's a bum Ellis. Come on.
Ellis Why don't you go get your own food?
Mud I would if I could, but I told somebody I’d meet ‘em here. So I’m stuck for now and what I got’s runnin’ low.
Neckbone He's a bum Ellis, let’s go.
Mud I'm no bum. I got money. You can call me a hobo ‘cause a hobo’ll work for his living and you can call me homeless ‘cause that’s true for now, but if you call me a bum again I'll have to teach you somethin about respect that your daddy never did.
