Complete story — includes the ending
Lil gives birth to a large number of babies, which Early gathers into a sack, intending to euthanize them by drowning. In their boat, Rusty tries to stop Early, and Sheriff appears and decisively stops him. Back at the Cuyler home, Sheriff explains to Rusty that many of the babies are sickly, suffering from drug addiction, diabetes, stab wounds, or themselves being pregnant. Sheriff identifies a baby with a knife as the stabber and approaches it, cheerfully commenting, "ain't you a little pistol?" The baby steals Sheriff's pistol and shoots him with it. Early lauds the shooter as "wild" and begins to parent him, ignoring the other babies. Early teaches the baby to fish, drive, rob Boyd's liquor store, and break out of Sheriff's jail. Early dubs the baby Herschel, and dismisses Rusty as "mild". Early and Herschel go to train tracks, where they have a campfire and drink. Drunkenly, Early stumbles onto the train tracks and is run over by a train. He asks Herschel to get help, and Herschel leaves. The following day, Early is still waiting for help. Herschel appears, steals his hat, and abandons him. Rusty rescues Early, and back at home, Early fondly reflects on how he raised Herschel.
