In the first scene we saw a boy angrily hitting the bottom of his bed, clearly distressed. We then see a hand appear as it grips the boys hand and calms him down. The director does a close up of the hand to show us how close the bond between the two boys is. The next scene is the two boys on the back of a horse drinking, they are near some train tracks and it is late at night, this is a good indication as they witness a crime committed but take the copper wiring before the criminals can. Here we see the aspect of living with crime as the boys do not give a second thought about taking the wire.
They then show the boys in the early hours of the morning, they are trying to sell the wire off to an axe wielding man with a dog, clearly this is not normal behaviour for young teenage boys to be doing but given their situation it does not seem to bother them. The next shot is of the two boys at staying at arbors house as they wake up, Arbors older brother gets annoyed that Swifty is staying there. He sees himself as the man of the house as he calls it "His house" the mother, whom is clearly not in control then interject saying that it is her house. It is clear the family is poor by the state of the house, such as the kitchen and the clothes they wear.
