:29:05
- Here to do what?
- Evict you from the house. Right now.

:29:14
People stay up all night and sleep all day.
:29:19
Deputy Fred seemed
especially busy these days.

:29:22
After doing 24 evictions in one day...
:29:25
he arrived to evict a woman
who was a month behind in her rent.

:29:28
She quickly got the landlord on the phone.
:29:31
After telling him that
a film crew had arrived with the sheriff...

:29:34
the landlord told Fred
not to evict the woman and her children.

:29:39
It had leaked so much,
this whole area was bulging down.

:29:42
My oldest son... I moved his bed,
I was scared the ceiling would fall.

:29:46
But nobody was there at the time it fell.
:29:49
It needed to be painted outside.
The aluminum siding outside, I put on.

:29:52
I paid for it and had it put on.
:29:54
See my new siding? It does look better.
:29:57
You put that on since last time I was here.
You've spent a lot of money.

:30:03
It looked like
the raggediest house on the block.

:30:05
These houses look nice
and I was embarrassed about it.

:30:08
The deal was pretty good,
so I worked with it.

:30:12
- What will happen to this woman?
- End up putting her out...

:30:15
unless her new husband
comes up with the money.

:30:20
I can't imagine somebody getting married
to someone as poor as you.

:30:24
It gets kind of rough.
Put two poor people in the same house...

:30:30
I always tell women, ''You can be poor
by yourself, you don't need help.''

:30:33
And she just got some help being poor.
:30:39
Three days later,
Fred put the woman and her kids out.

:30:45
- Hi, can I help you?
- We're looking for Roger Smith.

:30:48
We're wondering if he's here.
:30:50
I have no idea if he's here or not,
but you'll have to leave the club.

:30:54
- Why's that?
- It's a private club.

:30:56
- Has he been here today?
- To my knowledge, he has not.
