♪ When suddenly
my thoughts just.. ♪

- Hi, Loyal.
- Huh! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Oh.

Loyal, you've come back.

- Oh.
- Oh.

- Oh.
- Oh.

Look, don't look.

Look the other way
'cause my lowers fell off

and I-I've, I've been working
so hard here tonight

between singin' and waitin'.

And then the cashier's out.

At first she said
she had ringworms

then she had
the tick fever and

it's all been
pretendin' and..

Gee, I never did think
I'd see you again, Loyal.

Oh, well, uh..

Fella finds a place
he likes to hang out

and he feels out of place
anyplace else.

I should be beat up
for that one.

Oh, my gosh.
I ruined your place.

- I'm so sorry.
- Oh, no, no, no.

You didn't ruin my place.

Hell, I was sick
of around here, anyway.

I'd soon as not ask myself,
morning, noon, and night.

AM-PM.

Oh, I have got the vapors.

- Oh.
- So hot.

- Uh, uh..
- Sweatin'.

My God.

I got fired.
I thought I'd tell you.

Oh, my God.

- No kiddin'.
- 'Here you are.'

- Thanks.
- Uh!

In case, uh, being
a provider has any bearin'.

Nah, no, no, no.
Not at all.

It's probably just your,
well, your quirk.

You know, what I mean?

Well, could be God's work too.

He's got quirks, believe me.

He gets thoughty
and then he blames others

and then makes you pay
for it, somethin' like that.

What kind of work do you do?

- I'm out of work.
- Yeah, that's right.

That's what you said,
"I'm out of work."

God, makes you all
feel shriveled up--

When all I was,
was just out two days.

Just two days and that sucker
just went and fired me.

Just like that. Like..

He didn't know...we was..

You and me went, uh..

That's right.

- Went to get married.
- That's right.

I don't even really remember
the experience.

Well, that's alright

because we didn't
have an experience.

Oh.

Oh.

Uh! Ahem.

Well, I, I didn't mean, uh..

- The experience.
- Oh.

I meant, uh, we, uh..

Why didn't we have
the experience?

Well, don't yell at me.

You fell down drunk
in the boys' room.

- Oh, me.
- That's right.

Oh, me.

And I figured
you'd run out on me

until they come and told me
what went down with you

in the toilet, passed out.

Oh, Lord, Lord!

Yeah, and all covered
with you know what.

Oh, all, all covered
with you know what.

Yeah, guess who
had to clean it up.

Mother hen over here.

There's an expression, quote.

"Touch but a drop to your lips

and behold the vast ocean
surrounds you."

Which is the truth,
as I do know it.

That's right.

Oh, Loyal. Come on, now.

Into every little life
some rain must fall.

And that's all.

Uh, excuse me.

We got..

Um, honey,
did you call your mother?

What, what's the matter
with you?

Did you call your mother?

What do you mean,
did I call my mother?

That's what you said.

"My mother's alive, should
I call her up?" And I said, yes.

Hold it, now!
Hold her, hold her, hold her.

There's nothing my mother
can do in this situation.

- She's in California.
- I know.

But I was so touched,
and there's no time

to neglect your mother
at a time like this.

What are you, what are you
talking about a time like this?

You're not planning
to hold me to this, are ya?

- Huh?
- I didn't think, I was, no.

- And I would never.
- Right.

- Not, not, not me.
- Okay.

- I was thinking of you.
- Right.

Divorce costs money.
Lots of it, too.

What? Oh..

A lot of money, a lot
of money to-to get divorced.

- Well, I'll get money. I'll..
- You'll get money, shit.

You don't need no divorce.

You don't need no money

'cause, 'cause when you
don't have no experience

you go up for annul.

- Since when?
- That's right.

- Oh, naughty.
- Yes. See? Hah! Yes.

- You're not gonna help me?
- Yeah, yeah.

- That's a dirty trick.
- Let me go. Yeah!

That's a dirty trick.
You wouldn't do that.

- I'm a guest!
- You said--

I'm takin' it back,
you're takin'

advantage of a perfect stranger!

What kind of woman are you,
in the first place?

- Because I'm--
- I'm talking about annulment!

- Excuse me.
- I'm not just trash--

That's where I got ya.
Dinette, I am trash.

- That's okay.
- Di-a-nette! Dine! Di-ni-na!

Dinette or whatever
you name is.

I'm your na, nay number one,
no good for nothin'!

I don't care what you say.
I don't believe in divorce.

Well, I'm not prepared
to bear the brunt of that.

- You gotta bear the brunt!
- I don't have to!

Yeah, 'cause this happens
to be morals.

I got, I got principles.

- I got values, that's right.
- Oh, Lord, Lord!

Everybody stands up
for principles and values.

- Oh, the stunts I do pull.
- Yeah.

Not when there's
children involved.

I didn't have no experience.
With children, no experience.

You don't think by yourself
at a time like this.

Not when there's,
not when there's children.

We, we, we can't think of that.

We've got responsibilities.

Oh, Loyal. God damn you,
you don't leave me now.

You, got morals, you see?

Loyal, don't do this to me.

Loyal! Shut up!

Because I need my children,
or I'm gonna die

you God damn it.

Be a brave man, Loyal.
You're my husband.

I want my babies back.

Oh, please!

[country music]

The trouble is..

...I was gonna marry
the Clairol girl.

Who?

I used to see her all the time.

In the drug stores.

Life size.

'I don't see her anymore.'

Darlin', don't be
down on yourself.

Wasn't your fault, it was mine.

Women.

As you can see,
my prime specialty.

Oh.

I'm a bum, Dinette.

Just..

...can't stand still

for ten minutes, straight.

I get to hydrophobia when I
gotta show up any place regular.

[music continues]

..just help me get my kids,
then you can be on your way.

Huh?

Mmm? And not
one string attached.

They're over in New Lizard
with Jim Bob's mom and dad.

Voyd and Neil.

crawling up the highway

I would've died

Oh, good Lord!

Which one is that?

Him, and I showed you. Here.

- Your boy?
- My first born.

Ah, yeah, in the car.
I-I told you.

When Jim Bob's finished it up,
and totaled it

and now, you know,
life is a vale of tears.

Even poor Human.

He can't sleep, or even
get a snooze in, now

without whimperin'
and pourin' sweat.

Oh. See, that's the,
that's the problem.

That little boy, he's gonna
remember his real dad.

He's not gonna
take to me at all.

Poor daddy's head just squished.

- Like a melon.
- Goddamn!

And that is somethin'
you never forget.

I'd died if I, if I'd known

And then you know what?

The Dustys come and took
my babies away from me.

- They did?
- That's Jim Bob's parents.

And they said it was
out of consideration for me.

And I knew that wasn't.

There was somethin'
fishy about that.

And then, you know,
Jim Bob was a licensed pilot.

He was a licensed pilot, there.

And, uh, he wanted me
to go to California

'cause we could've made
a lot of money in California.

Only, I said, I'm not,
I'm not goin' to California

for all the money in the world.

Because, you know, I saw me
dead. Can you imagine?

Dinette, you've got
a gloomy streak in you.

No, I don't.

What the hell's these weeds for?

I saw me in California, dyin'.

From that, an earthquake

which they have there
all the time.

What are you, mental?

No, I'm not mental.

Seein' things is,
is mental, Dinette.

Get in the car.

Now, when I was little,
five years old

I drove a scissors
straight through this hand

and it came out, right out
the other end, like that.

Isn't that neat?

That's wonderful.

I took skin. Here it is.

Skin stitches. Count.

One, two, three, four, five, six
seven, eight, nine, ten.

Too bad, they didn't stitch up

'That's the main thing.

(Dinette)
'Boy, boy, I hope so.
I mean, what happened?'

'Her lips turned blue
and she just fainted?'

(Voyd)
'You met your sister,
Ermy, didn't you?'

- 'Half sister.'

Don't ask me what.'

(Loyal)
'Say, Voyd. I'm telling you
she'll scare you stiff.'

She's mental!

She gets them
damn premonitions.

She was a sick little lady there
for a while.

- Huh?
- The main thing is..

The main thing's
she's had her hands too full.

That's the main thing over here.

Oh, now, peace, Ermy.
Peace, Ermy, for my sake.

Well, she's already
raised her own.

She doesn't need to raise
more in her middle age. God!

She left Miami Beach, Florida
at 8:30 this morning.

Isn't that the damn-dest?
And here she is!

I knew my place was right
here in New Lizard. I knew it.

In spite of my own
personal health be--

Ding, ding, ding!

You guys like
that Mexican food?

'People come from miles around.'

'From an old Indian recipe
that they've got.'

As far as I'm concerned,
it's perfect.

(Dinette)
'Put down the presents
and pick them much.'

Wouldn't you know what to feel?

The wife's in the hospital.

Besides that,
where are we going?

- We are going to California.
- Oh, Iota!

- We're what?
- You said!

Oh, shut up, Iota.
I didn't say nothing.

- What'd she say?
- You gonna be our daddy?

California?

Mommy's gonna put a heavy duty
stamp on that mouth.

'What the hell are you
trying to pull on me?'

[indistinct chatter]

It looks like rain,
and now the in-laws show up.

Now, what,
what can I do for you?

How'd you like to let Jesus
in your heart?

What?

The Lord is coming, buddy.
Are you ready for Him?

- Right now?
- 'Later!'

(Loyal)
'In a family conference!'

'I'll get myself another beer.'

Excuse me.

You don't mind.

You got a beer
in your hand, Loyal.

(Voyd)
'What does it look like
I'm forgettin'?'

Don't you turn your back on me!

- ...you son of a bitch.
'Yes, sir. No, sir.'

(Voyd)
'Ice that beer,
that's what I gotta do.'

Oh, here, Voyd.
Let me get that for you.

I'm a young strapper,
I can pick that..

- Pick that--
- Don't worry about food, Ermy.

(Voyd)
'In case you feel like fixin'.'

'Just drink.'

You know, Ermy's gonna
look after the place for us.

Oh, hey, Voyd.
She don't have to do that.

Why, hell, she's tired.

She flew all the way from Miami.

Didn't you? You girl, get tired.
Just a little joke there.

And you got your family
sickness.

Let's not find any pitching in--

If you notice, fire is burning
up there in the hills.

Huh?

Oh! Yeah! Uh, she's got that
hell of a sayin' about that.

What's that sayin', darlin'?

About my scar?

Oh yeah, um, uh, my scar.

A stitch in time saves nine.

- 'No!'
- No.

- All that glitters is not gold.
- 'The one about the rain.'

'You know, "Into each life
a little rain must fall'

'you got rain pourin'
in your life"'

'Voyd, we gonna have to get you
to cheer you up a little bit.'

We're going to the ball game.
Come on, gang.

Oh, someone's gotta
take baby sister here.

Oh, baby, baby! No.

I don't accept responsibility
for anybody's baby.

- James told.
- Voyd! Voyd!

Look, I'm dropping down
to Skeeter's.

Where did everybody go?

'...I gotta pick up.'

Now, if there's is any need
for the hospital

which I doubt there will be,
you call the sheriff

and they'll
send someone after me.

Oh, he wants me
to hide my suspenders.

We're getting to that age

where grandpa's days
of his looks are over.

Oh, Human, I'll come
see you next time.

Ra! There's to all
good men on the road.

Now, you behave yourself. Hear?

Have no fear, little woman.
See you later.

Better loosen up, Ermy,
you're about to crack somethin'.

Oh-oh!

Well..

Oh, come back soon now. Hear?

What you readin', tragedy?

[engine revving]

(Voyd)
I mean, somebody
that I don't like

taking off with it all.

'Somebody like you. Shit.'

(Loyal)
'Just ain't nothin'
they won't do for each other.'

'Trouble is, not much work
around here, Loyal.'

(Ermy)
'Oh, I always say,
people just should not'

'bring children
into this world'

'if they can't accept
responsibility for them.'

'That's what I always say.'

'God, God!'

(Dinette)
'Be sure to look up
Nelly Dusty.'

(Ermy)
'Well, that's what people say.'

- 'Oh.'
- 'Nice people always say.'

(Dinette)
'Oh, Lord, I'm certainly glad
our mother did not live'

'to see this sorry day.'

'The likes of you
draggin' my sister down'

'to the very ground.'

'To the very ground!'

'And me, me for association.'

It's the first thing
that struck me

how much you look like Millie.

I used to have that,
it's called Frosty Pumpkin.

Discontinued.

What kind of work do you do?

Well, I have did just about
everything there is to do.

I'm probably
the most qualified person

ever come into these parts.

Down there in,
in Corpus, for a while

I worked in a chicken factory.

Experimental, you know?

'I found it very interesting.
I got a great deal out of that.'

Holdin-holdin' them hens
for their shots.

Main thing is
she's gonna be alright.

That's the main thing
we gotta be thankful for.

(Dinette)
'He's not mournin' like us.'

'Tears and all.'

'I think he's being
ignored to death'

'like an Indian
on a reservation.'

'Oh, my God!'

'Everything is so tragic'

'in New Lizard.'

'Nell, Nell, Nell.'

Oh, my heart just broke.

'Oh, Ermy!'

'Why didn't she
say goodbye. Ermy?'

Uh, she's got a plane to catch,
and I gotta help her catch it.

That's no reason.

Children, you say
goodbye to Aunt Ermy.

Smile and be polite.

'Ermy? What's she doin'?'

It ain't
the kids' fault, you know?

She-she's just a little nervous.

Well, these kids
is Nell's blood. That's why.

Look, we brought those kids in
because we wanted to

'and they all would
say the same.'

(Dinette)
'I know that.
But, it's apt they was here''

'There's half my blood
and half Jim Bob's blood.'

'And so, therefore,
they belong here.'

'If that Ermy's gonna be saying
that-that, well, Nell was took'

because of these kids,
passin' judgment on me

makin' me feel like I'm sin
all over and now my kids

my innocent kids.

Well? Well, what do you say
to that?

We ain't to blame.

The blessin' is that

she went before this sorry day.

The main thing is..

It's not the kids' fault.

- Ha-happy.
- Happy.

- Oh, kids, they do not.
- Happy.

[engine revving]

Human, impolite to stare.

'Loyal.'

- Yeah?
- 'It's over.'

- What?
- 'They're lowerin' her.'

[groans]

[sighs]

My teeth are swimmin'.

[country music]

(Loyal)
I gotta see a man about a dog.

When you gotta pee in Texas

you gotta walk a mile
just to pee.

(Dinette)
Get in.

[music continues]

- It stinks in here.
- Never mind, please. Not now.

(Iota)
'Somebody made a naughty odor.'

'And I know who too.'

Iota, hold light.

Hold light as you rise above it

and that's it.

She wouldn't want me to wallow.

She wouldn't wallow
and she wouldn't want me to.

(Loyal)
'You're absolutely right,
Uncle Voyd.'

I'm a good friend of yours.

I should've thought of that
for you my own self.

What you need to do is just

get away and do some killin'
for a while.

Mummy.

She'd say, "Voyd, if it becomes

"my unpleasant duty
to see to you

"I will see to you
as simply as possible

and catch the next plane
to Miami Beach, Florida."

That's beautiful.

- Isn't that beautiful, darlin'?
- Mm-hmm.

What's he gonna do
with business for her?

Oh, hell, you don't
have to worry about that.

We-we've about got it down now.

He can break me in
in no time.

Is that what you sayin', Voyd?

That Loyal and me's goin'
to take over the place

'when you're gone?'

Well, I'm selling
the place, Dinette.

The place is up for sale.

Sale?

That's the first thing I'd done

was stop by Miss Nighty's

comin' back from the airport.

Oh. For sale?

(Voyd)
'I'm done with the place, Loyal.
I'm going huntin'.'

Oh. Uh..
Whoa, whoa, Voyd.

I know it's your hour in need

but you gotta think clear now.

'You just gotta.. In, uh..'

'Think about the brood.'

'Jim Bob's brood.'

(Voyd)
'Well, they's your brood now,
Loyal, I'd say.'

(Loyal)
'My brood?'

My brood?

- I'd say.
- My-my brood?

You're hungry, honey?

My, mine?

(Voyd)
'She'd say to me'

"Voyd, you'd be

"gettin' deer season.

I can see that
far away look in your eye."

(Loyal)
'Is this thing loaded?'

(Dinette)
'Loyal, what you doin'?'

What you're going to do?

(Loyal)
'I'm gonna..'

Huh?

You behave yourself, kids, now.

Stay here.

Loyal! Sweetie.

[door shuts]

And I'd say

"You better clean out
that freezer, Nell.

'Cause I'm bringin'
home some deer."

[birds chirping]

Loyal?

Sugar?

'Now, why is it, I wonder'

'you don't call your mother up.'

Oh, Loy.

If I had somebody..

...I'd call them up.

Sure.

'I don't have anyone, Lo.'

You're my only soul.

You and the kids.

My, my, my.

You know how I've been treated
by the Dustys?

Voyd comes to me

after three pregnancies.

Huh, he says,
"Well, me and Nell.

"We prayed and thought
that you, Dinette

would at last straighten
our Jimb Bob out."

God.

How was I supposed to know?

I don't know why I'm cryin'.

Oh, God.
Twelve years with a man.

Comin' at me with toy handcuffs.

[bell ringing]

And make believe..

You wanna know what?

You open the car door.

Yelled "Geronimo" and jumped.

You mean, when he..

Oh.

Leaving me and the kids
to our own devices

Eighty miles an hour.

I don't know why I'm cryin'.

Because you're good.

That's why.

I just can't, Dinette.

I just can't take you
to California, that's all.

[Loyal sniffling]

Do what you can, Loyal.

We do what we can.

Yes, Loyal.

[crickets chirping]

[telephone ringing]

(Loyal)
'Later, ah,
somebody to travel with.'

Okay, sure.
We're entirely done, honey.

- 'What's this all about?'
- Where is Human? Human?

Human.

Somebody homesick
before even went?

Get in the car now, hear?

- Have 'em with you.
- Oh, Voyd. You are..

Thank God, bless you.

- Look what Voyd gave us.
- What did he give?

- Ten dollars.
- Oh, that's wonderful!

Wonderful! Come here, Voyd.

(Loyal)
'I think, we're just leavin'
you in the lurch.'

'We should be living with you.'

One thing about California

is that they got the welfare.

Oh, you mean, uh

"Look on the bright side.
Ding, ding, ding."

Huh?

(Dinette)
'For you, you just bend over
backwards for all of us.'

'Too far and, and you
just, and just..'

I don't know, we loved every
minute of it, because of you.

(Voyd)
'Well, when you
get in the movies'

'you let us know, you hear?'

(Loyal)
'The movies?'

'Now you're
talking about the movies.'

(Dinette)
'Yeah, alright, kids, now..'

'You be nice
or you'd be left behind.'

'And now, Human, you sit
near-near the window.'

'And Sandy Dee should
come up with me. Okay?'

- There she goes.
- 'Sandy Dee in the front.'

(Loyal)
'Huh?'

No reprise, I guess, huh?

All you can get hangin'
around here is flies.

So, drive careful, you guys.

(Dinette)
'Now, Voyd, you've always
got place with us.'

'Do you know that?
You do, don't you?'

'You're always welcome.'

'And-and, and, Loyal,
your mother have a couch?'

It's just sink or swim
from here on in.

And all the catastrophe's over.

All, all the tragedy.

Everything is good
up front of us.

Okay, okay we're safe and sound

'and secure, and, and, and..'

'Say goodbye to grandpa, kids.'

'Say bye-bye,
because he's bein' left behind.'

[instrumental music]

Ain't you listenin'?

Yeah, you-you,
you played in the church.

You know, this is
the bluebird, right?

And the bluebird flew away
on stage like this.

A-a-and Tittle said, "Oh.

'"Oh, the bluebird.'

'"A storm on the way.'

It has gone and forever."

See, look here.

What the hell am I supposed
to make out of that?

(Dinette)
'So, we'll just pretend
it's gone.'

And the bluebird, you know

for all intents
and purposes went away.

And then I-I set
the whole auditorium.

'Oh, the bluebird'

'a happiness'

it's flown away.

Because you should never

put happiness in a cage.

I don't understand.

According to that damn sign

we are heading for Florida.

But once it is gone..

Listen to this, honeys.

Once it is gone

you can always find

the bluebird again

because love..

...is the key

that opens every door

and happiness.

Happiness comes

from the heart.

'So, it always comes back.'

Oh, and the bluebird

holdin' up
the entire sky above us.

'What does peace mean?'

Peace means
just keep your mouth shut.

(Dinette)
'How's she ever
gonna learn, Loyal?'

Goddamn.

Hey, uh, whipper, you can read.

Come on over here
and read this damn thing for me.

"New Lizard to Juarez
and back in 12 hours

including peace,
world's record."

[guitar music]

(Dinette)
'You're gonna drive
straight through, huh?'

(Loyal)
'I always drive 24 hours
a day, the first day.'

(Dinette)
'When do you rest?'

(Loyal)
'When I get there.'

If you get there.

(Loyal)
'If I say, I'm gonna
be someplace at 2 o'clock'

'like say, on Tuesday'

the other person
might not be there

but I'll be there
if it kills me.

(Dinette)
'Now, you're not gonna

(Loyal)
'I have actually been

'of amuck my entire life!'

I'll go shut myself
down completely.

My mouth, if I felt like it.

Or just take myself down
a button, huh, Loy?

'But I must say,
before my pregnancy'

'and the major disasters
that fell through.'

(Loyal)
'Goddamn.'

Ah, where am I
gonna see Dinette, Loyal?

What good man.

Come on, kids, he's done!

[tire hissing]

Holy shit, cranked!

Never mind, kids.

(Loyal)
'Yeah. Oh, God!'

[screaming]

I pulled you, didn't I?

[indistinct shouting]

I don't need nobody at all!

They was after me.

Didn't I tell you,
they was out to get me?

They're-they're coming
to get me.

Hi, everybody decided?

[guitar music]

[crickets chirping]

(Iota)
'Mommy.'

Loyal.

Someone will come along.

Nobody's comin' along, Dinette,
I told you.

There ain't nobody
gonna come along.

Typical Thomas.
Always doubtin', aren't you?

You all the time pushin' me this
way and pushin me that way.

Loyal, not here.

I didn't stop you
from gettin' gas, did I?

You're leapin' on me now.

Oh, but, I wasn't even
in charge of gas.

Make me in charge of gas
and see if we run out--

No, but you've been
breathin' down my neck

that's what you've been doing.

Um-umm.

You said you was in a hurry.

I was helpin'.

And all the time actin' like

if I'm out of sight
for two seconds

I'm, I'm gonna run off

somewhere and desert you.

Where on Earth? Where on Earth
did I get that idea, I wonder?

Well, you just better not

because I just damn near might!

Loyal, I'm well aware
of the idea

that you're plannin'
on dumpin' us

the first chance you get,
I'm well aware.

Talkin' about dumpin'

I gotta go see
a man about a dog.

- 'Where's the toilet paper?'
- Used up.

(Loyal)
'Where in the hell
is the toilet paper?'

- Used up!
- 'Used up?'

Use the comic book,
they finished it.

I got to use the comic book
'cause it's used up

on account of we're out
because you and the kids

blow your nose on
instead of usin' it

for the purpose
it's supposed to be used for!

Loyal! Damn you.

Loyal!
What the hell we're gonna do?

(Loyal)
'Nothin' important except
for me to hike on down the road'

'to a Loco Junction.'

(Dinette)
Oh, sir.

And leave us here, uh-uh.
Uh-uh, no, sir.

(Loyal)
'Well, we can't all
five of us go marchin' off'

'into the goddam
pitch black now, can we?'

You know what?

I have an instinct
someone's gonna come along.

(Loyal)
'Yeah, if we wait long enough'

'maybe, the bluebird
will come along.'

[dogs howling]

(Dinette)
'Loyal?'

Yes, ma'am?

Have you ever been in love?

We're out of gas

and what does she get?

Romantic.

I mean, other than Lady Claroil.

Well..

...there was for a while

up in Ogden, this..

The waitress.

She used to put whipped cream
on the pie pretty regularly

without chargin' me extra.

I do think about her
quite a bit.

Quite a bit?

That's serious. Very.

I don't get too close
too often.

This means..

...that you discriminate.

- Is that what that means?
- Mm-hmm.

Of course.

Well, you select.

You know like pickin'
and choosin' the good one.

- Oh.
- Hmm.

Well..

...hell, you know you..

...take somebody out
nowadays and..

...it's gonna cost you..

...fifteen, 20 bucks..

...without drinks usually.

And look what happened
when you did that.

[instrumental music]

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Well, I thought, uh, you know
I was talking too loud

and-and the kids are sleeping.

Are you still sore at me?

Because of the way..

...because of...the fact

that we tied the knot and all.

- Oh, no.
- Ever?

- No..
- No?

You can't win 'em all.
You gotta lose some of 'em.

It's wonderful.

I...you have to learn to take
the bitter with the better.

That's my philosophy.

Do you know that you have..

...every right to..

...be hot with me
on the subject of marriage.

- No.
- Yes.

- I'm not hot, Dinette.
- Well, why not?

But there's that and then..

Also secondly..

...as a man you
are entitled to privileges..

...and..

I am entitled, I mean..

...it's the law. I know that.

Well..

It is the law.

- Will it stop, honey?
- I don't know.

I damn sure would.
I'll give her a check.

Forget it.

Why? Where's your mustard..

- It's a diesel.
- What's wrong with a diesel?

They can't stop.
It's against the rules for them.

[horn blaring]

[indistinct chatter]

- It stopped..
- The hell it did.

It did!

- Goddamn!
- What did I tell ya?

What did I tell ya?

Stay here. Lock the doors
and roll up the windows.

And I'll be back
in about an hour.

- We're comin' with you now.
- No! You can't, Dinette.

Loyal, you gonna go
down that road.

I know you.
You're gonna quit us.

Loyal! Loyal!

No! No!

There ain't room for five of us.

Oh, lord. Pity sakes.
Lord have mercy on me.

He ain't gonna wait.

I'll be back! I'll be back!

[thunder rumbling]

Loyal!

[screaming]

Oh, I don't care.

Loyal!

You can just let me off
any place in loco junction.

You won't find any gas
until Prague.

'I'm gonna have to let
you out five miles inside too.'

It's as close as I
can get in this rig.

The truck route turn off

or I'll get a ticket
trying to go through town.

Five miles outside of town
is where I started.

Hell, if...if I ain't
gonna get no place..

Goddamn.

[instrumental music]

[engine revving]

I give muchacha dinero.

Por take me
fgasolina in the towna.

Oh, yes

[speaking in foreign language]

- What'd she say?
- She said to call my brother.

Call your brother?

He and his friends
will take you.

- Well, why can't you take me?
- She say no.

Well, uh, I don't wanna
make any trouble--

[speaking in foreign language]

Loco junction...I think
I be-better go.

- 'Mister?'
- Huh?

You wait a minute.
They come pick you up later.

'Don't be scared.'

No! I'm not scared.

There's nothing
to be scared of.

I just, uh.
I'm just in a hurry.

[Dinette singing]

(Iota)
'Isn't Loyal Muke
our daddy anymore?'

You know how to cut
to the bone, don't ya?

(Iota)
'Is he, or isn't he?'

I ain't no mind-reader.
Go to sleep, Iota.

I wouldn't say it's very likely.

[humming]

(Iota)
'Don't sing anymore.
It's scary.'

Ol' Loyal can handle it.

Been on the road too long.

Yet here now..

Listen.
I, uh, I didn't mean to..

Oh, sorry man. I just..

Bullshit!

Oh, please, Mr. Beaner,
go away.

'I'm sorry for everything'

[engine revving]

Damn!

[train hooting]

Oh. Oh, keep going legs.
Almost there.

Hang on, Dinette. I'm coming.

Oh, boy. Oh! Whoa!

Oh, thank God! I'm saved. Oh!

(male #4)
'Can't hear a word
you're sayin''

'you might as well
save your breath.'

Insisted on me buyin'
one of these things

and it hasn't worked
since the day I got it.

- 'I'll be..'
- You can't hear?

Why there was nothin'
wrong with my hearing

since she started here.

Is there another all-night gas
station that's open all night?

Before I come up there and beat

the living hell out
of the both of us.

- Yes, sir.
- I understand.

- I can do that.
- Oh, oh. What can I do for you?

Yes, sir.

Shall I fill her up?

Hey! Where's your car?

- What's your phone number, sir?
- Where?

What's your phone number?

- Where did you come from?
- I got..

[Dinette singing]

[car door opens]

Done nothin'
but just turn me so deep.

Listen here. Are you there?

I can't hear a damn thing
with this damn thing.

- Is she there?
- Oh, uh..

Is she there?

- 'Uh, the phone's ringing.'
- Is she there?

- I said the phone is ringing.
- Is she there?

The telephone is ringing.

...there's nothin' wrong
with my hearing.

Except I'm just sick and tired
of listenin' to her. That's all.

(Loyal)
'Uh, hello?'

Uh, uh, your husband's
batteries are dead.

And my wife is out
in loco junction out of gas.

And I was supposed to be
gone for an hour or so.

You sure this here is it?

I'll let you know in a minute.

Just hang on for a sec.

This is it! I've got it!

You sure?

Yes, sir.
I can prove it if I have to.

Well, what do you want to do?
Call the highway patrol or what?

Oh.

(Loyal)
'Uh, kinda of rough country
out here, ain't it?'

(male #5)
'Yeah, you got nothing
but ordinary well-pushers'

'stirred-up Mexicans and Indians
with their hands out'

'the way I see it.'

'Say..'

'Are you a drinkin' man?'

(Loyal)
'Oh, uh, well, see. Dinette..'

I've got a few for you.

Do you believe in premonitions?

No, sir, I do not.

I am here to tell you that

I have been in a constant
state of premonition

since I left
the state of El Paso, Texas.

I'm afraid that won't stand up.

- Stand up?
- 'In a court of law, sir.'

You're lucky I don't throw up
in your lousy court of law.

They goin' to the dogs.

They goin' to extremes.

- There you go, kids.
- What do y'all say?

Let's go.

Say, did you hear the one
about ol' Rastus and Lizzy?

Rastus was sittin' up on the
fence by the railway track

and ol' Lizzy says to him

"Rastus, now you better
get down off that fence

that train is just
going to come by and just

suck you under there"
and old Lizzy says to Rastus--

Never you mind, Alton.
We heard that one.

The way I heard,
it was these two nuns..

No!

It was Rastus and Lizzy.

Really happened.

The way I heard it,
it was Indians.

I was telling you...about
my people.

Yes, ma'am.

They thought the answer to all
was California too.

Same old story, huh?

Well...it got this far.

And the transmission blew.

And all they had..

[coughs]

All they had was nine cents,
little lard and me.

So, what do you figure they did?

[coughs]

'Made perfect sense
at the time.'

They were childless here
and the Dodge was overpopulated.

You mean they left you.

And never come back.
Isn't that awful?

Kids, walk around
the museum now, you hear?

'Yeah, why don't you kids go
and play with the horse?'

You're not our grandmother.

I'm the wicked old witch.

And you better listen to me
or I'll get you in the oven.

You're in charge, Alton.

'Alton, you're in charge.'

Yeah.

Well, I don't want kids

that I must naturally be traded
in for a fixed transmission.

Well, I'll tell you one thing.

There're stories that would
break your heart to hear

that ain't half bad
to live through.

I've had a happy home here.

Instead of some
poor girl's rocky road.

There ain't nothin' wrong
with the rocky road

if people stick together.

They stuck as long
as they could, I guess.

We both knew it ain't the nature
of some to...persevere.

My Loyal was very good to me.

Oh, just that these are his kin.
I mean not by blood, see?

That's what happened.

You could stay here, pal.

See, I don't blame men.
It's not men's fault.

That's right.

They have a lot

But happens someone's

It ain't all smiles
around here either.

'Before they went out

Uh, excuse me, sir.

down there if I was you.

Oh, sheesh.
Oh, uh, my-my-my feet?

Yeah. Oh, well, see, I was just
thinking about laying down here

taking forty winks
if it's alright with you.

Watch it. I told you
there's snakes down there.

Snakes?

'Rattlers!'

Holy shit!

Holy shit! Oh-ho-ho!

'Couple of headless chicken.'

They give you a buck and a half

a barrel for them alive.

Had a little waitress up here,
so I needed an excuse.

What are you doing down there?

Uh.

Uh, what're you going
so fast for, sir?

[birds chirping]

[car approaching]

(Loyal)
'That's it!'

'We found them.'

(Loyal)
Thank you very much, sir.

Thank you..

That's my family.

Hey, Human!

'I'm old Loyal Muke.'

[Loyal panting]

[chuckles]

Well...this is my car.

Yes, sir.
She looks in fine shape.

'California, here we come.'

Still got 53 bucks
in my pocket. This..

We'll round up everybody
and get goin'.

Holy shit!

Ho! Ha, ha!

You, uh.. Oh, shit!

Whoa!

Ah! Hey, uh, Human

if you ever wasn't gonna talk
in your whole life

please don't let it be now.

[speaking in foreign language]

[men hooting]

[men laughing]

[Sandra babbling]

(Loyal)
Dinette, are you in there?

(Dinette)
Loyal?

What are you doing in there?

(Loyal)
'Well, I'm catching up
with you for one thing.'

You're catching up on me?

'Oh, fine. I'm catching up
with you is more like it.'

Miss Innocent, huh?
I might have guessed.

A car thief
in my own family.

A car thief?

'You're a wife deserter,
that's what you are.'

I was in jail is what I was.

And running all night
on the highway.

'And them beaters out there
have been running me ragged.'

Does that sound like
deserters to you, ma'am?

It sounds like
the tallest story I ever heard

is what it sounds like.

This is life and death
is what it is.

What you've got to do is
you gotta go out there

and, and start that car
because we got to make a beeline

for the highway
and hit the road.

Especially, if they spot me.
Will you do it?

Yeah, honey, that's why
I'm your wife for, ain't it?

You hold.

We're in terrible straits.

They may be armed.

[laughing]

(Dinette)
They'll never

do nothin' to a lady.

[men wolf-whistling]

(Iota)
What are they gonna
do with him?

Shut up.

Buenos dias.

Get in that car.

[whistling continues]

(Dinette)
Amigo.

[engine cranking]

[engine revving]

[speaking in foreign language]

[men laughing]

[men whistling]

Grandma.

[Loyal screams]

- You flooded it!
- I didn't, Loyal.

- You flooded the car.
- No.

There was nothing wrong
with this car

until you got in..

[screaming]

They're here! Get away!
Roll up the windows!

Roll up!
Dinette! Dinette..

[car engine revving]

[instrumental music]

[whimpering]

Oh..

- Here they come!
- Here they come!

- Here they come!
- I hear you, goddammit!

- I know they're coming.
- No.

Well, with that language,
I'm just getting hurt.

So quit with that language.

Well, you can just open the door

yell "Geronimo!" and jump
if you don't like it.

I can't help on account.
You can't get along with people.

"Wife leaps
from speeding car.

Foul language to blame."

- Ha-ha-ha.
- 'He's gaining on us.'

He's gaining on us.

(Loyal)
I could've been halfway

to Canada by now. But no!

(Iota)
They're gaining on us!

(Loyal)
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Now can't you go any faster
than this. Can't you?

Come on, you log, try!

(Iota)
'They're gaining on us.'

I'm gonna get it, Dinette.

Oh, you don't know that.

- Try, hear me?
- Try?

Yikes, you never
hear the word before? Try!

(Loyal)
Well, she-she's..

[indistinct chatter]

(Dinette)
Say it, "Try."

Alright, sugar. Okay?

Try, Loyal.

Say it. "Try."

- Try, Loyal!
- Tryin'!

- Try!
- Try!

Try.

(Dinette)
Alright, sugar, try.'

Sugar, put your foot
on that pedal

and don't let it off
until I say stop.

- Try!
- That's it, Loyal.

Tr-tr-try!

- Try.
- Try!

For the sake of your wife
and children..

Try!

- Try!
- Try!

(Loyal)
Try!

(Dinette)
'Try.'

(Loyal)
'Try!'

We're, we're, we're going 80.
Yoo-ho-ho-ho!

If you don't get it up to 90,
you're gonna hear from me.

I-I-I ain't never been over 65
in my whole life!

Whoa! Try!

(Loyal)
Hey, Dinette,
look in the mirror.

(Dinette)
I know. I'll say.
They've given up.

They have given up!

You know what, Dinette?

This is the first scrap
I've ever been in my whole life

that I won!

Well, that's 'cause you never

met me to tell you

how fast you really is
in real life.

- In reality, you--
- Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!

I never had so much
fun in my whole life!

I can't remember
when I had so much fun.

When did I have any fun?

[laughing]

You beat 'em, Loyal.

We beat 'em, Iota.

[instrumental music]

[sheep bleating]

[Sandra laughing]

[Sandra babbling]

It's an American eagle,
almost extinct.

Named Igor.

- 'Igor?'
- Hmm.

Poor thing.

Guess I always liked old Igor.

Thank you very much. Bye-bye.

Go on, get in the car.

- Loyal Muke?
- Huh?

- What you got?
- Never mind.

'Cause if I tell you, then we'll
both know. You get it?

[Sandra laughing]

(Dinette)
What's that?

- That big?
- Yeah!

Now..

...they didn't
have no bluebirds

so I did the best I could.

Ahh!

Mr. Bluebird of happiness.

It's a, a hamster..

...of-of happiness
for all of us.

- Oh.
- You can hold him.

[babbling]

- Easy, now.
- Iota.

[Sandra laughing]

Thank you, darling.

[murmuring]

For them.

Put-put-put, put it up here.

Ah.

[car engine cranking]

No, no, no. No.

[car engine revving]

(Iota)
'Good you didn't get two of them
'cause they eat each other up.'

That makes us very lucky,
don't it?

(Loyal)
'Anyway, this song is all about
Harry Buddy always asked him..'

'...where he was from.'

Or maybe never asked him

but, see, that's what
was on his mind.

What it was like to..

...live on an island
when you're little.

Sugar, if you write
that song, I will sing.

Meanwhile, he's not living
on an island anymore.

That's was hard.

'See, it's kinda
hard to explain.'

Like in the city you gotta walk
fast and count your change.

I was born on an island.

I was the only baby born
on Santa Catalina island

the whole month I was born,
maybe even the whole year.

That always seemed
like somethin' to me.

The mysterious world I knew.

That's what you think.

[chuckling]

[humming]

Are you blushing?

(Loyal)
'How about it, Human?
Want some swim fins?'

'One, anyway. Ha-ha!'

You see that picture?

I knew that girl
when she posed for that picture.

'And believe me,
that don't show the half of it.'

Maybe you need
some help in there.

I could help you
look for them patches.

(Loyal)
'There better
be a pump here, too.'

Or we're doomed.

Hey, wait a minute!

Here, I got something
for the whole family.

See, I used to sell these
up in Beloit, Iowa.

Them's encyclopedias.

Oh, my..

A, B.
A, B and A, B.

Good for a start, ain't it?

See, it was
a introductory offer.

Just A through B,
but that's something.

(Loyal)
I'd come up with this invention
in Anchorage, Alaska.

Can't roll no tire
with your hands freezin'.

See, you, you've got
use the old mind

if you're gonna make it
on the road.

'Cause America's different.

Any place you're at.
Oh, it's the same too.

But, it-it-it's different too.

Now, you take car washes
for example.

You kids, listen to uncle
daddy. He's got expert advice.

Well, some places in America,
they are

you do-it-yourself car wash.

In other places, they are

you pay somebody else
to do it for you.

Now, in some places, say,
like, Pocatello

they think it's wrong
not to wash your own car

on Saturday afternoon.

Sissy or something.

Here, hold that thing.

- Man on the road.
- Oh, bless the Lord!

And you'll learn facts like this
if you're real interested

in what's going on around you

and what makes one place,
one place

and another, another.

Used to be you could
always step in to wash dishes

if you was hungry
or needed a job

but not anymore.

Nowadays,
everything's electricity.

What's got me worried

is when it comes
your time, Human..

...there ain't gonna be no way
a bum can make it anymore.

There won't be no place
to go that's away.

And all them places I told you
about that were different..

...they'll all be the same.

Hmm.

Look, like the man says

we gotta be philosophical.

(Loyal)
'That's progress.'

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

I can sure in hell see
where they get that

purple mountains
majesty from. Don't you?

What's that, sugar?

Do you know what the thing
about a sunset is?

That it's beautiful.

Oh, yeah, honey, it's beautiful.

But see, the thing
about a sunset is

the worse the weather

the better the glow.

And I think so in my heart

just paint a picture
of this whole thing.

Yeah, you know another thing
about a sunset?

What?

The longer you wait

the more beautifuller it gets.

And I think the more
beautifuller it gets

the longer it takes.

Yeah. Yeah, that's what
I was trying to say.

You have some tongue
on you, Loyal.

And when you put your mind
to it...it's silver.

Goddamn, it's,
it's breathtaking.

You're one hell of a man,
Loyal, you really are.

I love you too, Dinette.

Oh..

I love you.

(Dinette)
I can't even believe it.

'I got so damn lucky.'
