I watched Ti-Joseph,
and it was exactly two ounces.
00:00:04.032 --> 00:00:05.009
There was a family
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.805
That lived on the isle of Saint Sebastian
A long, long while
00:00:10.905 --> 00:00:13.875
The head of the family was a Holland man
00:00:13.975 --> 00:00:17.212
And the younger brother his name was Rand
00:00:17.312 --> 00:00:18.038
Ah, woe
00:00:18.048 --> 00:00:22.317
Listen, did I ever tell you the story
about the little mule on the plantation?
00:00:22.417 --> 00:00:24.119
Wait a minute, I want to listen.
00:00:24.219 --> 00:00:27.255
The Holland man, he kept in a tower
00:00:27.355 --> 00:00:30.892
A wife as pretty as a big, white flower
00:00:30.992 --> 00:00:33.995
She saw the brother
and she stole his heart
00:00:34.999 --> 00:00:37.036
And that's how the badness
and the trouble start.
00:00:41.603 --> 00:00:44.973
Ti-Malice, you tripped up my tongue.
Why do you wish trouble me for?
00:00:45.073 --> 00:00:47.776
You saw Mr. Rand go in there.
Why don't you tell me?
00:00:47.876 --> 00:00:49.031
Apologize, that's what I'll do.
00:00:49.041 --> 00:00:52.068
Creep in just like a little fox,
and warm myself in his heart.
00:00:52.078 --> 00:00:56.375
I wouldn't have listened, Wesley,
if I'd realized I...
00:00:59.022 --> 00:01:02.417
- Mr. Rand, I've come to apologize.
- All right.
00:01:02.059 --> 00:01:04.526
It's just an old song
I picked up somewhere.
00:01:04.626 --> 00:01:07.999
- Don't know who did make it up.
- All right, all right.
00:01:07.462 --> 00:01:10.598
Some of these singers on this island,
they'd tattletale on anybody.
00:01:10.999 --> 00:01:14.803
Believe me, I never would sing that song
if I'd known you were with a lady.
00:01:14.001 --> 00:01:16.495
Get out of here!
00:01:18.506 --> 00:01:20.667
Don't let it bother you so, Wesley.
00:01:20.001 --> 00:01:22.999
You heard what he sang.
00:01:23.001 --> 00:01:24.474
Shocked?
00:01:24.846 --> 00:01:27.782
- I just wish I hadn't heard.
- Why?
00:01:27.001 --> 00:01:30.001
Everybody else knows it, Paul saw to that.
00:01:30.485 --> 00:01:33.521
Sometimes I think he planned
the whole thing from the beginning...
00:01:33.621 --> 00:01:35.123
just to watch me squirm.
00:01:35.223 --> 00:01:36.791
That doesn't sound like him.
00:01:36.001 --> 00:01:40.999
That's right, he's playing
the noble husband for you, isn't he?
00:01:41.262 --> 00:01:43.196
That won't last long.
00:01:44.001 --> 00:01:47.464
I think we'd better go now.
Will you take me home?
00:01:47.702 --> 00:01:51.001
One of these days he will start on you
just like he did on her.
00:01:51.139 --> 00:01:54.233
"You think life's beautiful,
don't you, Jessica?"
00:01:54.001 --> 00:01:57.572
"You think you're beautiful,
don't you, Jessica?"
00:01:58.001 --> 00:02:01.538
What he could do to that word "beautiful."
00:02:02.998 --> 00:02:04.483
That's Paul's great weapon, words.
00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:08.179
He uses them like
other men use their fist.
00:02:23.001 --> 00:02:26.063
Wes, it's time we started home.
00:02:27.642 --> 00:02:31.001
The wife and the brother, they want to go
00:02:31.001 --> 00:02:35.999
But the Holland man, he tell them no
00:02:35.999 --> 00:02:38.001
The wife fall down and the evil came
