MOM SHOULDN'T BE BOTHERING YOU.

SHE SAID, "GAVIN GREY,

"YOU'RE ACTING REAL COMMON,

NOT LOOKING UP DONNIE."

SO HERE I AM, LOOKING YOU UP.

WE AIN'T ALLOWED ALCOHOL IN THE DORM.

WE COULD GET EXPELLED.

I DON'T RECKON

THEY'RE GONNA EXPEL US, CAKE.

AHH.

WHY ARE YOU SO JUMPY?

IT'S JUST ME--GAVIN.

WELL, I--I KNOW,

IN THE MOVIES, THE FOOTBALL HERO

IS ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY GIRLS.

BUT IN REAL LIFE,

THE BOYS WON'T LET GIRLS GET NEAR HIM.

YEAH, I GUESS THEY WANT TO REPLAY THE GAME.

CAKE.

HMM?

IF YOU'D RATHER BE WITH GAVIN, I CAN UNDERSTAND.

OH, NO.

I MEAN, I'D RATHER TALK TO YOU.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT, CAKE?

UM...

WELL, WHAT'S YOUR MAJOR?

HA HA HA!

OH, CAKE!

YOU DON'T REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT MY MAJOR IS, DO YOU?

GAVIN AND ME.

I'M MAJORING IN GAVIN AND ME.

* BABY, LET ME BANG YOUR BOX *

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

THERE'S FOLKS ALL OVER LOUISIANA TAKIN' LEAKS,

AND HERE'S ME TINKLIN' NEXT TO THE GRAY GHOST!

I GOT TO SHAKE YOUR HAND, GHOST.

MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO JUST KISS ME INSTEAD.

WELL, I--I HAD A COUPLE OF...

HEY, FANNY!

CAN YOU IMAGINE GETTIN' ALL UPSET

JUST 'CAUSE YOU'RE PISSIN' NEXT TO SOMEBODY?

YOU KNOW, IT'S 'CAUSE YOU'RE SPECIAL.

PEOPLE TREAT ME SPECIAL

'CAUSE I'M KIN TO YOU.

OH, HELL, CAKE.

IF IT GETS YOU LAID, USE IT...

WHILE IT LASTS.

I MIGHT BE A DUMB JOCKSTRAPPER, BUT I DO KNOW THIS:

I'M SPECIAL JUST AS LONG AS I KEEP MAKING TOUCHDOWNS.

WHEN THAT'S OVER, IT'S OVER.

CHECK FOR PECKER TRACKS, SON.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

I TOLD YOUR DADDY THERE IS NO WAY

MISS BABS WON'T WIN MISS LOUISIANA AND THEN MISS AMERICA.

CAN'T WE HURRY THIS UP?

WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS NOW.

FELLAS, GET BACK INSIDE! YOU AIN'T MAGNOLIA QUEENS.

DARLENE, BEAT IT, HON!

LET'S HAVE A GREAT BIG SMILE FOR THE YEARBOOK.

MAKE SURE MY SIGN IS IN THIS PICTURE.

I'M NOT READY.

OH, I'M SORRY.

O.K.! HERE WE GO! BIG SMILE!

1, 2, 3!

OH! BREAK MY HEART!

I'M AS PROUD AS A PREACHER TO BE HOSTING Y'ALL.

MISS BABS, CAN I GET YOU ANYTHING?

DARLENE, GO FETCH MISS BABS A COLD PEPSI, WILL YOU, HON?

I JUST LOVE THE GHOST.

I FEEL THE LORD PUT SPECIAL PEOPLE LIKE THAT ON EARTH

TO SHOW US ALL SOMETHING.

[HORN HONKS]

HEY, BABSIE!

HANG ON A SECOND, GHOST! HEY, DARLENE!

I AIN'T ABOUT TO GET CORNERED BY THAT JOCKSNIFFER.

CAKE, WAIT HERE FOR BABS.

WE'LL MEET YOU ALL OVER AT HOPPER'S LATER.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR!

I GOT TO GET TO PRACTICE NOW!

YOU'RE DONNIE McCASLIN!

[BABS] HE WANTS US TO HAVE DINNER WITH HIM?

YEAH. NEXT SUNDAY AT HIS COUNTRY CLUB.

SAYS HE WANTS TO MAKE YOU FINE YOUNG PEOPLE A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

BUSINESS PROPOSITION?

GAVIN WOULD JUST HAVE A FIT.

THAT BOY PUTS ON MORE AIRS THAN AN ELECTRIC FAN.

YOU WANT ME TO TELL HIM HE'S DINING ALONE?

I TELL GAVIN HE SHOULD MAKE BUSINESS CONTACTS WHILE HE CAN.

NOT THAT HE EVER HEARS ME, BUT...

I SUPPOSE THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO EAT WITH HIM.

WHOO!

MIKEY, COME HERE, MIKE.

AAH!

AAH!

SPANISH TOWN NO PLACE FOR COLLEGE BOYS.

TAKE IT EASY THERE, CHIEF.

I'M LOOKING FOR NARVEL BLUE.

HE'S A FRIEND FROM IBERVILLE PARISH.

NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT NO WHITE FRIENDS.

YOU THE GHOST.

YEAH.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

HEY, BLUE!

I TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS, LAWRENCE,

COMIN' HERE LOOKIN' FOR COLORED GIRLS.

I AIN'T LOOKIN' FOR NO GIRLS.

LOOK WHAT I BROUGHT YOU.

LAWRENCE TOLD ME ALL ABOUT YOU.

I WANTED TO MEET YOU. HAVE A BEER?

GO ON INSIDE.

I'LL BE WITH YOU SHORTLY.

ANYBODY GONNA TELL ME WHO HE IS?

NARVEL BLUE?

THE BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER IN THIS STATE.

GAVIN'S THE BEST.

GET MOVIN'.

WHERE'D HE PLAY?

I NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

HE PLAYED FOR SOME COLORED HIGH SCHOOL.

MAN, HE WAS SO GOOD.

COLORED GAMES AND WHITE GAMES WERE BOTH ON SATURDAYS.

PRETTY SOON, NOBODY'S GOING TO THE WHITE GAMES

BECAUSE THEY WANT TO SEE BLUE PLAY.

SWITCHED THE COLORED GAMES TO FRIDAY,

ALL ON ACCOUNT OF BLUE.

HE JUST PLAYED HIGH SCHOOL.

DON'T MATTER WHERE, AS LONG AS YOU PLAY.

QUARTER? QUARTER?

THAT'S MY NEPHEW. YEAH, GOOD COOK, TOO.

MMM.

MMM!

SOME YANKEE COLLEGES WAS LOOKIN' AT ME,

BUT I COULDN'T WRITE MY OWN NAME.

THEN I WENT UP TO CANADA.

THEY SAID THEY ALREADY HAD ENOUGH AMERICANS PLAYING UP THERE.

THEN I COME ON BACK AND HAD ME SOME POLICE TROUBLE.

AFTER THAT, I NEVER GIVE FOOTBALL ONE MORE THOUGHT...

LEAST, TILL I SEEN YOU PLAY.

I HAD TO SEE FOR MYSELF HOW GOOD YOU REALLY IS.

HOW GOOD AM I, BLUE?

I EXPECT YOU'RE ABOUT AS GOOD AS ME.

AIN'T A CUNT HAIR'S DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU.

SOME THINGS BLUE DO BETTER,

BUT SOME THINGS GHOST BETTER AT.

YOU CAN CATCH A PASS BETTER.

BUT BLUE COME OFF THAT BALL FAST.

NOBODY BEAT YOU IN THE OPEN FIELD?

NOBODY I EVER RUN ON.

NOBODY'S FASTER THAN GAVIN.

COULDN'T BE.

THERE'S ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

20 BUCKS SAYS GHOST CAN WHIP YOUR ASS AT 100 YARDS.

MAKE IT 50, WE'LL SEE.

WELL, SHIT, 50? MAKE IT 100.

MAKE IT 200, BY GOD!

50'S ENOUGH.

YOU WANT TO RUN?

WHOO!

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO START, BLUE?

DOWN AT THE STATION.

WE GOING TO RUN.

GET THE POOL STARTED!

GET IT STARTED!

I'M GOIN' FOR SOME FAST MONEY!

I GOT $10 ON THE WHITE BOY.

DONNIE, I WANT YOU TO HOLD THE OTHER END OF THAT ROPE.

DONNIE! DONNIE, COME HERE!

O.K., HOLD IT.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. YOU GOT IT.

GET OVER THERE AND HOLD THAT ROPE!

I GOT 100.

LET'S GET STARTED!

COME ON, GAVIN.

HOW WE GONNA GET STARTED?

HOLD UP, WILLY MAE.

YOU'RE GOING TO START IT?

I'M GOING TO START THE RACE.

RECKON THEY ABOUT EVEN OUT?

LOOK HERE, GHOST.

I BEAT YOU, WORD GETS OUT--

"GRAY GHOST GOT WHUPPED BY A NIGGER."

I AIN'T DOIN' IT FOR WHAT PEOPLE SAY, BLUE.

YOU'RE CRAZY!

BLUE WON! BLUE WON!

WAIT A MINUTE.

Y'ALL ON THE FINISH LINE,

WHO WON? YOU WERE THERE.

WHITE BOY SAY FIRST.

NOBODY'S SAYIN' WHO WON.

I SAW THE GHOST WIN.

YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT!

LOOKED LIKE BLUE TO ME.

NO WAY! GHOST WON.

WHITE BOY, YOU'RE RIGHT.

HEY, GHOST BEAT ME-- GHOST BEAT ME BY HALF A STEP.

WHOO! HA HA HA!

HEY, MAN, I'VE BEEN TRAINING.

YOU BEAT ME FAIR.

AIN'T NO NEED TO SAY NOTHIN'.

HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?

THE LORD LOVETH A CHEERFUL GIVER.

EVERYBODY BACK INSIDE!

THANK YOU, JESUS!

I GOT MY MONEY BACK!

COME ON!

BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM. BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM.

AWW.

BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY

BABY BABY--MINE!

WHEN I SAW YOU JUST NOW,

I WAS SAYING TO MYSELF, "GAVIN GREY,

YOU ARE THE LUCKIEST MAN THAT EVER LIVED."

BABY? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

OH, GAVIN!

OH, HONEY...

WHAT?

GAVIN, THEY SAY I CAN'T BE IN

THE MISS LOUISIANA PAGEANT.

WHAT? THEY GONE CRAZY?

THEY SAY THEY WON'T SPONSOR ME

UNLESS I PUT OFF GETTING MARRIED FOR TWO YEARS.

THEY SAY I CAN'T BE MARRIED

IF I'M GOING TO GO ON TO MISS AMERICA.

WE'LL HAVE TO POSTPONE THE WEDDING.

NO!

COME ON, BABSIE. COME HERE.

YOU PLANNED THIS ALL YOUR LIFE.

I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU GIVE IT UP.

I DON'T WANT TO WAIT. I CAN'T.

OH, BABSIE.

OH, GAVIN.

OH, BABSIE.

I WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU, BABY.

I KNOW WE SAID WE WOULD WAIT--

OH, PRECIOUS, I WANT YOU SO MUCH.

STOP!

GAVIN, STOP!

STOP! I CAN'T! I CAN'T!

WHY?

'CAUSE... OH, I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE ALL THE OTHERS.

WHAT DO YOU CALL THEM-- PUNCHBOARDS?

BABS, YOU KNOW...

GAVIN, DON'T YOU THINK I KNEW?

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT YOU.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT BEING MISS LOUISIANA

OR MISS AMERICA OR MISS ANYTHING.

I JUST WANT TO BE YOURS, GAVIN.

I JUST WANT TO BE MRS. GAVIN GREY.

IS EVERYBODY HAPPY?

HELL, YES!

IS ANYBODY SAD?

HELL, NO!

THE GRAY GHOST!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

THE TIGERS COMPLETE A PERFECT, UNDEFEATED SEASON.

NEXT STOP, THE SUGAR BOWL!

WE'RE GOING TO THE SUGAR BOWL!

ALL THE WAY! NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

[HARP PLAYING]

YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT THE VALUE OF A NAME...

SINCE I'VE BEEN ADVERTISING ON TELEVISION,

THE NAME BOLLING KIELY IS ALMOST AS WELL-KNOWN AS YOURS, GHOST.

A WELL-KNOWN NAME IS MONEY IN THE BANK.

LOTS OF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO USE GAVIN'S NAME.

OH, DON'T I KNOW THAT.

GAVIN'S HAD SO MANY OFFERS.

HE'LL GO PRO AFTER HE FINISHES SCHOOL.

FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK.

I GUESS THAT MEANS THE REDSKINS.

LORD KNOWS THEY COULD USE YOU.

BUT IT'S NEVER TOO SOON TO START--

LET HIM EAT HIS DINNER.

YOU AND BABS CAN TALK BUSINESS LATER.

DARLENE'S ALWAYS TELLING ME

I STILL ACT LIKE I'M LEADING COLLEGE CHEERS.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

I GOT YOU A WEDDING PRESENT--

A BRAND-NEW 1957 BEL AIR CONVERTIBLE.

YOUR CHOICE OF COLOR.

IT'S A WEDDING PRESENT FROM ME AND DARLENE

TO YOU AND MISS BABS.

I CAN'T ACCEPT IT, SIR. I'D LOSE MY ELIGIBILITY.

WELL, NO. I GOT THAT WORKED OUT.

I DON'T GIVE IT TO YOU.

I LEASE IT TO YOU... FOR $1.00 A YEAR.

AND THAT'S IRREGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ACCEPT MY PROPOSITION OR NOT.

IT'S ALL LEGAL.

IT DON'T MATTER IF IT'S LEGAL.

SIR, IT'S COMMON.

I CAN'T ACCEPT YOUR CAR, SIR.

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR DINNER.

[GAVIN] BABS!

EXCUSE ME.

GAVIN!

GAVIN, STOP!

WAIT! PLEASE!

I'M SORRY, GAVIN.

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT OUR FUTURE.

I DIDN'T ASK TO BE THE GRAY GHOST.

I'M JUST GAVIN, AND I LOVE YOU.

BUT THE GHOST PEOPLE THINK THE GHOST STANDS FOR SOMETHING.

YOU AND ME GOT TO TAKE CARE OF IT.

OH, GAVIN, I LOVE YOU.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, BABY.

YEAH.

NOW, COME ON, LET'S GO.

COME ON.

COME ON.

HEY, CAKE!

I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO FINISH EATING.

LET'S GO GET A HAMBURGER.

IF WE'RE GOING TO WIN THE SUGAR BOWL,

I GOT TO PUT ON SOME WEIGHT.

GET THAT BALL! GET THAT BALL!

GET THAT BALL! GET THAT BALL!

GET THAT BALL! GET THAT BALL!

GET THAT BALL! GET THAT BALL!

[LAWRENCE] YOU'RE THE LUCKIEST GODDAMN TEAM I EVER SEEN!

I WANT YOU!

I'LL CHOKE YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH!

WHO'S NUMBER ONE NOW?

JUST TRY NOT TO CHOKE!

COME ON!

YOU WANT IT?

LAWRENCE!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, LAWRENCE?

COME ON, YOU FAT TUB OF SHIT!

ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US A FLAG?

WE'RE LOSING, GHOST!

SHUT UP!

SHUT UP! DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT LOSING!

LISTEN TO ME! GET THE QUARTERBACK'S ATTENTION.

GET HIM WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

I'M GOING TO RED-DOG THAT SON OF A BITCH!

ARE YOU READY?

YEAH! LET'S GO!

WE ARE NOT GOING TO LOSE!

GET THAT BALL!

GET THAT BALL!

GET THAT BALL!

PLEASE, GAVIN.

HUDDLE UP!

WE DID NOT COME ALL THIS WAY TO LOSE!

ARE WE GOING TO WIN?

YES! YEAH!

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A LIGHT HIT!

I'LL BUST YOUR ASS!

HEY, QUEER! YOU GONNA FUMBLE!

YOU HEAR ME?

YOUR BALLS ARE MINE!

AAAHH!

AAH!

ROOKIE.

SHIT!

PRO'S A DIFFERENT GAME, HONEY.

ESPECIALLY THE WAY OUR GUYS PLAY IT.

NOT MUCH RAH RAH UP HERE.

NOT LIKE WHEN YOU WERE HOMECOMING QUEEN

BACK IN-- WHERE WAS IT?

LOUISIANA.

I WAS MAGNOLIA QUEEN.

MOST OF US WERE THE QUEEN OF SOMETHING.

NOW WE'RE JUST PLAYERS' WIVES.

3, 88!

3, 88! HUT!

I JUST HATED IT, GAVIN.

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO MEAN?

GUYS HIT HARDER WHEN THEY GET PAID FOR IT.

MAYBE WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT

SOMETHING TO FALL BACK ON,

SOME KIND OF BUSINESS.

DON'T START TALKING ABOUT GETTING HURT.

IT'S BAD LUCK.

JUST INVEST THAT MONEY YOU GOT FROM YOUR BONUS IN SOMETHING.

MY BONUS?

HMMM...$25,000.

GAVIN, YOU'RE NOT PAYING ANY ATTENTION.

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

I'M BEING SERIOUS, GAVIN.

WE'RE RICH!

OHH...

"OH, SHUT UP, AND LET'S SCREW, BABS."

WHAT?

NOTHING.

MMM!

* YEAH! *

* WELL, ALL RIGHT! *

ALL RIGHT! SHUT UP!

POETRY HOUR.

LISTEN, LISTEN.

CAT'S A-PISSIN'. WHERE? WHERE?

[ALL] UNDER THE CHAIR.

RUN, RUN. GET THE GUN.

[LAWRENCE] TOO LATE!

[ALL] IT'S ALREADY DONE!

WHERE IN THE HELL YOU BEEN?

HEY, DONNIE!

MY PARTNER'S ABOUT DRUNK THIS PLACE DRY.

PUTTING ME IN CHARGE

IS LIKE PUTTING A WEASEL IN CHARGE OF A HEN HOUSE.

THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT.

COME ON OVER.

DO YOU BELIEVE ME BEING A BUSINESSMAN?

NO.

BABS JUST KEPT ON PUSHING,

SO I SAID "WHAT THE HELL."

SHE HAD A FIT WHEN I HITCHED UP WITH LAWRENCE.

I GOT A SURPRISE.

CAKE JUST GOT HERE.

THIS IS IMPORTANT!

WE GOT A LITTLE BUSINESS.

BABS IS AROUND HERE SOMEPLACE.

SHE'S PRETTIER THAN SHE EVER WAS.

I WAS JUST STUNNED WHEN I HEARD

WHO THEY ELECTED PRESIDENT THIS YEAR.

WHERE IN THE WORLD DID THEY GET THIS?

UH, WHAT'S YOUR MAJOR?

CAKE!

OH, CAKE!

OH, MY GOD, CAKE!

MY GOSH.

HOW ARE YOU?

WELL, CAKE, I THINK I'M PREGNANT.

LOOK WHAT I BROUGHT YOU, GHOST.

I BROUGHT YOU OLD BLUE.

HEY, BLUE. YOU RUN ANY RACES LATELY?

NO.

I ALREADY EXPLAINED HE COULDN'T GO OUT FRONT.

HAD THAT EXPLAINED TO ME BEFORE I WAS ONE YEAR OLD.

I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU

ABOUT THAT LETTER YOU SENT.

IT'S ALL FIXED, MAN.

I TOLD THE REDSKINS ALL ABOUT YOU.

YOU GOT A TRYOUT.

WOULDN'T THAT BE THE SHITS?

BOTH OF Y'ALL PLAYING FOR THE REDSKINS.

AW, CAKE.

I JUST SPEND ALL MY TIME ADJUSTING, CAKE,

TRYING TO BE A GOOD PLAYER'S WIFE.

I MEAN, NOBODY PAYS ANY ATTENTION

TO A PLAYER'S WIFE.

WE'RE LIKE A PIECE OF FURNITURE.

IT'S TRUE.

USEFUL AND DECORATIVE, LIKE A DINING ROOM SET.

IT'S HARD IMAGINING YOU AS A PIECE OF FURNITURE.

IT DOESN'T TALK, FOR ONE THING.

OH, CAKE!

YOU ARE THE FIRST MAN

I'VE SPOKEN WITH BESIDES GAVIN

IN I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG.

HMM.

YOU'RE CRAZY, BLUE!

GHOST IS OFFERING YOU THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME!

FOOTBALL'S OVER FOR ME.

BEEN OVER LONG TIME NOW.

HELL, MAN, YOU AIN'T THAT OLD.

AIN'T TALKIN' ABOUT OLD.

I'M TALKING ABOUT WANT TO.

I DONE GOT WHAT I WANTED FROM FOOTBALL.

I'D GIVE ANYTHING FOR THIS

IF I DIDN'T HAVE THIS FUCKED-UP KNEE.

YOU ACTING LIKE A DUMB NIGG--

LAWRENCE, TAKE IT EASY!

BLUE, WHAT IN THE HELL IS BETTER

THAN PLAYING FOOTBALL AND GETTING PAID FOR IT?

I THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DONE.

I WON'T FORGET IT.

I GUESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT, HUH?

HEY, BLUE.

DON'T GO OUT THE BACK.

USE THE FRONT DOOR.

I'LL BE GOING THROUGH ANY DOOR I WANT TO

BEFORE MUCH LONGER.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

DON'T GET SO MAD.

I'M THE ONE LOSING A TEAMMATE.

[BABS] HOW'D IT GO TODAY?

IF YOU'D COME TO A DAMN GAME SOMETIME,

MAYBE YOU'D KNOW HOW IT GOES.

NOT THAT I BLAME YOU NOT WANTING TO SEE

A BUNCH OF RAGGEDY-ASS LOSERS.

BABY'S MOVING. WANT TO FEEL IT?

YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TODAY!

DON'T YOU WANT TO FEEL IT?

BABSIE, I DON'T GET ALL MUSHY OVER BABIES.

I GOT THINGS ON MY MIND--

SOME MEN WOULD BE THRILLED

TO FEEL THEIR BABY MOVE, BUT NOT YOU.

YOU JUST WANNA SULK ABOUT YOUR STUPID GAME.

ALL RIGHT, GODDAMN IT, I'LL FEEL IT.

GO TO HELL!

BABSIE!

BABSIE, I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY, BABSIE.

GET AWAY FROM ME!

YOU EVER THINK IT MIGHT BE A GIRL?

GAVIN, GET UP!

YOU'LL KICK FOR THE REDSKINS, HUH?

GAVIN, PEOPLE ARE STARING.

HE SAYS HE DON'T WANT TO PLAY

FOR THOSE LOSERS EITHER.

MAYBE WE SHOULD MAKE YOU AN OFFER ANYWAY.

HOW DO YOU PUT UP WITH ME?

I DON'T KNOW.

* HEY NOW, HEY NOW, HEY NOW, HEY NOW *

[SIRENS]

GO BACK TO SPANISH TOWN!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

DAMN NIGGERS TAKING OVER THE PLACE!

CAN WE HAVE SOME SERVICE, PLEASE?

I'M GOING TO PROTECT MY PROPERTY.

I AIN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS.

TAKE A HIKE, NIGGER!

NOW WE'LL GET SOME ACTION.

NOW, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.

WE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.

GET THEM OUT OF THERE!

GET OUT OF THERE!

GO BACK TO SPANISH TOWN!

BLUE!

WHAT ABOUT MY RIGHTS?

I GOT A RIGHT TO KNOW.

WHAT AM I--

LOCK HIM UP!

ARREST HIS ASS!

HE LOOKED RIGHT AT ME.

I SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING.

THEN I-- I COULDN'T MOVE.

HEY, BLUE'S A GOOD NIGGER.

SOMETHING'S GOT INTO HIM, TURNED HIM BAD.

HISTORY, LAWRENCE.

WE'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY.

HISTORY, MY ASS.

LISTEN, I LIKE THAT OLD BOY,

BUT IF BLUE OR ANY OTHER NIGGER COMES IN HERE,

I'LL SHOW 'EM SOME GODDAMN HISTORY.

LAWRENCE.

THAT NEW ORLEANS FELLA'S ON THE PHONE AGAIN.

OH, LISTEN.

I'VE BEEN CALLING OLD GHOST UP.

HE'S BORED SHITLESS IN THAT YANKEE TRAINING CAMP.

HOW ABOUT WE GO SEE HIM?

WELL...

I GOT TO FINISH MY DISSERTATION.

JEB STUART, PRIDE OF THE CONFEDERACY.

FUCK THAT SHIT, MAN! WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN SEEING GHOST?

LAWRENCE, THE PHONE!

GODDAMN IT! I'M COMING!

YOU GOT TO COME WITH ME, MAN.

COME ON, PROFESSOR.

YOU GOT TO COME WITH ME.

WE CAN'T LET THE OLD GHOST DOWN NOW, CAN WE?

O.K., LINE UP THERE! THIS IS IMPORTANT!

WE GOT LESS THAN A MINUTE TO GO.

ILLEGAL USE OF THE HANDS!

ON THE VERY FIRST PLAY...

TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED, GHOST.

DON'T REMEMBER.

ARE YOU SHITTIN' ME? THE DAMN TULANE GAME.

DON'T REMEMBER.

I PLAY THE GAME I PLAYED TODAY,

NOT ONE I PLAYED SIX YEARS AGO.

ANYWAY...

WE LINED UP...

AND I BROKE THROUGH THE HOLE.

70 YARDS!

50, 60...

YAY!

TOUCHDOWN!

IT AIN'T NO BIG DEAL.

TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT.

I JUST NEED A LITTLE INSIDE SHIT.

JUST A LITTLE HELP, THAT'S ALL.

GAME PLANS.

INJURIES.

JUST ENOUGH TO GIVE ME A LITTLE EDGE.

GET SOME BETS DOWN, MAKE A LITTLE MONEY.

I CAN'T DO THAT. YOU KNOW THAT.

NO. WE'RE ALONE. NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW.

JUST ME AND YOU.

THAT'S ALL.

I JUST NEED ONE SWEET THING,

JUST ONE SURE SWEET THING.

CUT IT OUT, ALL RIGHT?

GO TO SLEEP.

IT WAS GODDAMN FUN TONIGHT, THOUGH, WASN'T IT?

I MADE YOU LAUGH.

YEAH, YOU NEVER FAIL.

I LOVE YOU, GHOST.

I WOULD NEVER DO NOTHING TO GET YOU IN TROUBLE.

BUT, LISTEN...

AW, LISTEN.

CAT'S A-PISSIN'.

WHERE?

WHERE?

UNDER THE CHAIR.

RUN! RUN! HA HA!

GET THE GUN.

POW!

IT'S TOO LATE. IT'S ALREADY DONE.

MOVE, SON.

HIT THE BULL'S EYE. JUST FALL OVER.

I HEARD WHAT LAWRENCE WAS SAYING IN THERE.

OH, THAT'S JUST THE BOOZE TALKING.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'D TRY TO USE YOU LIKE THAT.

WAIT TILL BABS SEES THEM WHISKERS.

YOU GOING UP THE LAKE TO SEE HER TOMORROW?

NO, I GOT TO GET BACK.

IT'S HER BIRTHDAY TOMORROW.

I'M, UH...

STUCK UP HERE.

YOU GOT TO GO.

LISTEN, UH...

THANKS FOR COMING UP TO SEE ME.

IT GETS LONESOME UP HERE.

WELL, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT.

YEAH. THAT AIN'T WHAT I MEAN.

I MEAN...

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, CAKE.

YOU THINK YOU'LL GO THROUGH YOUR WHOLE LIFE

MAKING CLOSE FRIENDS LIKE YOU AND LAWRENCE.

YOU DON'T.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU

WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG.

GET IN THAT SHOWER

BEFORE I BEAT SOME LITTLE BUTTS.

CAKE, IT'S GREAT TO SEE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING

OVER 6 YEARS OLD.

GET IN THERE, HONEY.

[TO HIMSELF] SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME LAST NIGHT.

OH, IT'S MY HORRIBLE BIRTHDAY.

I NEVER IN MY LIFE IMAGINED

I'D GET TO BE 29 YEARS OLD.

29 ISN'T EXACTLY ANCIENT.

HOW OLD'S ELIZABETH TAYLOR, YOU THINK?

AT LEAST 29.

OH, SHE DOESN'T LOOK SO BAD.

O.K. THERE YOU GO.

RUN OUT QUICK!

RUN UPSTAIRS...FAST, LIKE LITTLE BUNNIES.

QUICK LITTLE BUNNIES!

HA HA!

CAKE McCASLIN, YOU'RE TAKING ME DANCING TONIGHT.

I'VE BEEN PRACTICING THE TWIST ALL WEEK.

I'M GONNA TWIST THE NIGHT AWAY.

* COME ON, EVERYBODY *

* CLAP YOUR HANDS *

* AH, YOU'RE LOOKIN' GOOD *

* I'M GONNA SING MY SONG, IT WON'T TAKE LONG *

* WE'RE GONNA DO THE TWIST AND IT GOES LIKE THIS *

* COME ON, LET'S TWIST AGAIN *

* LIKE WE DID LAST SUMMER *

* YEAH, LET'S TWIST AGAIN *

* LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR *

* DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN *

* THINGS WERE REALLY HUMMIN'? *

* YEAH, LET'S TWIST AGAIN *

* TWISTIN' TIME IS HERE *

* OOH, AROUND AND AROUND *

* AND UP AND DOWN WE GO AGAIN *

* OH, BABY, MAKE ME KNOW YOU LOVE ME SO... *

DO WOMEN DO THAT ON PURPOSE?

DO WHAT?

TANTALIZE US--SHOW US A LITTLE FLESH,

STARE INTO OUR EYES, AND DRIVE US CRAZY.

SURE, IT'S ON PURPOSE.

IT'S EVERY SOUTHERN MAMA'S LEGACY TO HER DAUGHTER.

THAT AND HOW TO USE A DEEP FRYER.

* WHO'S THAT FLYIN' UP THERE? *

* IT IS A BIRD? *

NO! NO! NO!

* IS IT A PLANE? *

NO! NO! NO!

* IS IT THE TWISTER? *

YES! YES! YES!

* LET'S TWIST AGAIN *

* LIKE WE DID LAST SUMMER *

* GIRL, LET'S TWIST AGAIN... *

IT'S JUST SO...

IT'S SO IRRELEVANT.

HERE I AM WRITING A DISSERTATION

ABOUT A WAR THAT HAPPENED A CENTURY AGO,

AND THERE'S NARVEL BLUE PUTTING HIS LIFE ON THE LINE.

IT'S PEOPLE LIKE NARVEL BLUE

THAT ARE CAUSING ALL THE TROUBLE.

BUT CHANGE IS INEVITABLE.

I MEAN, CULTURES EITHER CHANGE OR PERISH,

JUST LIKE PEOPLE.

THAT'S THE GREAT LESSON THAT HISTORY TEACHES.

I'M SORR--I'M SORRY.

I HAVE FORGOTTEN THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN A LECTURE AND A CONVERSATION.

OH, NO, CAKE. I LOVE TO HEAR YOU TALK.

GAVIN AND ME, ALL WE EVER TALK ABOUT

IS GAVIN AND ME.

WELL, I GUESS THAT'S MARRIAGE.

NO, I GUESS THAT'S GAVIN AND ME.

I REALLY LOVED TONIGHT, CAKE.

I REALLY, REALLY LOVED IT.

BABS?

LET'S GO SKINNY-DIPPING.

WHAT?

HA HA! YOU'RE NOT AFRAID, ARE YOU?

DAMN RIGHT, I'M AFRAID.

OH, COME ON, CAKE. COME SWIMMING.

NO MAN BUT GAVIN'S EVER SEEN ME LIKE THIS.

NO, DON'T--

DON'T MISUNDERSTAND, CAKE.

I'M PREGNANT AGAIN.

IF IT'S A BOY,

WE'RE GOING TO NAME HIM LAWRENCE,

AND IF IT'S A GIRL...

UNH!

GAVIN, IT'S TIME FOR THE BABY'S NAP.

IT IS NOT. CINDY'S WATCHING THIS.

WE'RE WATCHING BUGS, AREN'T WE, CINDY?

HONEY, WHAT ARE YOU KNOCKING YOURSELF OUT FOR?

IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAMN BEAUTY CONTEST.

LOOK AT THAT, TOMMY.

IF I'M GOING TO STAND UP THERE

NEXT TO THAT MAGNOLIA QUEEN,

I'M NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE HER MOTHER.

HONEY, YOU HAD THREE KIDS.

IT'S NOT THAT IMPORTANT ANYMORE.

[COUGHS]

WHAT IS IT, CINDY?

IT MATTERS TO ME, GAVIN.

* SOMEDAY *

* WHEN I'M AWFULLY LOW *

* AND THE WORLD IS COLD... *

MAKE IT A DOUBLE-- AW, DUKE, YOU DICKHEADS!

YOU BET AGAINST THE TIGERS? YOU BASTARD.

I'D BET AGAINST MY OWN GRANNY.

JESUS, JUST LET DUKE MAKE THE SPREAD.

AND NOW...

OUR MAGNOLIA QUEEN FOR 1963...

MISS LOUANNE DEVIN!

AAH!

[CHEERING]

CROWNING OUR...

DAMN. I BET ON THE BIG BLONDE.

SHE MUST HAVE SCREWED THE WRONG JUDGE.

PHYLLIS SMITH HENDERSON.

AND OUR GRACIOUS QUEEN OF 1956,

THE BRIDE OF OUR OWN LOUISIANA IMMORTAL,

MRS. GAVIN GREY.

[LOUD CHEERING]

MAGNOLIA QUEENS DON'T SCREW NOBODY.

YOU OUGHT TO KNOW, GHOST.

CAKE, HOW'D YOU LIKE TO DIVE NAKED

INTO THEM RUNNER-UPS?

LOOK AT BABS.

HMM.

IS THAT THE GRAY GHOST I SEE BACK THERE?

LET'S GET THE GHOST UP HERE

TO GIVE OUR NEW QUEEN A BIG KISS.

COME ON, GHOST! COME ON UP HERE!

TIGERS WIN!

PRICKS!

GO GET 'EM, GHOST!

I'M SORRY, HONEY.

THERE'S ONLY ONE MAGNOLIA QUEEN.

[CHEERING]

GAVIN! THAT POOR GIRL!

YOU'VE GOT TO KISS HER!

I NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D BEG ME

TO KISS ANOTHER WOMAN.

WOO!

WHERE THE GHOST GOING?

HE'S NOT RUSHING OFF

TO BE FIRST IN LINE AT THE BUFFET.

GO, GHOST!

HEY, THE SOUTH GONNA RISE AGAIN.

DON'T FIGHT ME NOW.

EVERYBODY'S GOING TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING!

GOOD.

OH, HA HA HA!

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

HA HA HA! GAVIN!

HONEY, I'M LOST IN THE CLOUDS HERE.

I CAN'T FIND YOUR LITTLE MAGNOLIA FLOWER.

STOP IT, GAVIN!

GUESS I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO FLY BY THE SEAT OF MY PANTS.

OH--EUREKA!

WILL YOU STOP IT!

NNNEEOOWWRR!

HEE HEE HEE! HA HA HA HA!

GAVIN, IF I DON'T GET PREGNANT AGAIN,

IT'S GOING TO BE A MIRACLE.

PREGNANT! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?

WE'LL JUST HAVE TO HAVE A SHOTGUN WEDDING,

DROP OUT OF SCHOOL.

YOU'LL HAVE TO GET A JOB,

FILLING STATION, PROBABLY.

WHAT ABOUT FOOTBALL, HUH?

I GOT TO PLAY FOOTBALL.

NO.

NO FOOTBALL.

NO ALL-AMERICAN.

NO GRAY GHOST.

OH...

NO... NO MAGNOLIA QUEEN?

NO.

JUST YOU AND ME.

OH, BABSIE.

* YO *

* YO *

* YO *

* YO *

* OH, YEAH *

* OH, YEAH *

* I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT OH-POO-PA-DOO *

AAAAAH!

[TIRES SCREECH]

THERE YOU GO, SIR. THANK YOU.

YES, SIR, MAY I HELP YOU?

HEY! HEY! WHERE'S NARVEL?

IN BACK.

WHERE'S BLUE?

BLUE, I WANT YOU TO HELP ME, BLUE.

HELP ME FIND THEM NIGGERS THAT KILLED LAWRENCE.

IS THAT WHAT THE POLICE TOLD YOU--

BLACK MEN?

I WANT THEM FOR MYSELF.

WHATEVER IT TAKES, I WANT THEM.

I'LL PUT UP A REWARD.

YOU DON'T NEED NO SWEETENER, GHOST.

IF BLACK MEN DID IT, I'LL FIND OUT.

DAMN IT!

HE NEVER HURT NOBODY.

[SOBBING]

HE DIDN'T... HE DIDN'T HURT NOBODY.

THIS IS A VERY DELICATE SITUATION.

OF COURSE, WE AT THE BANK

HAVE THE GREATEST RESPECT FOR THE GHOST.

PERHAPS WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE INSISTENT

ON SEEING HIM IN PERSON,

BUT MR. LAWRENCE KEPT ASSURING US

THAT THESE MATTERS WERE BEING CLEARED UP.

WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MORTGAGE PAYMENTS CONSIDERABLY IN ARREARS,

PLUS THE MATTER OF SOME OVERDRAFTS AND OVERDUE LOANS.

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT IN THERE.

I'M VERY RELUCTANT TO DISCUSS THIS ANY FURTHER

OVER THE PHONE,

BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW...

THE COUNTY ASSESSOR IS PLACING A LIEN ON YOUR ACCOUNT.

I'M TRULY SORRY, MRS. GREY.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU.

THANKS.

OH, GODDAMN IT! GODDAMN IT!

[SOBS]

"OH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT'S NOTHIN', BABSIE.

"EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

LAWRENCE CAN TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING."

OH, GOD, WHY WAS I SO STUPID?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK]

WHO IS IT?

[KNOCK KNOCK]

GET AWAY FROM THERE.

YOU GET AWAY FROM THAT DOOR!

GO ON!

MRS. GREY?

I'VE GOT A GUN. I'LL USE IT.

IT'S NARVEL BLUE, MRS. GREY.

THE GHOST MAYBE TOLD YOU ABOUT ME-- NARVEL BLUE?

WHA--

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I SEEN THE CAR OUTSIDE.

THOUGHT MAYBE THE GHOST WAS HERE.

HE'S IN WASHINGTON.

HE HAD A COLTS GAME.

CAN'T MISS THE COLTS GAME.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

IT'S ABOUT LAWRENCE.

IT WASN'T BLACK MEN KILLED LAWRENCE, MRS. GREY.

WHO WAS IT?

MAYBE NEVER KNOW WHO EXACTLY,

BUT I KNOW WHY.

WELL, COME ON IN, MR. BLUE.

I'M JUST GETTING DRUNK.

YOU CAN JOIN ME IF YOU LIKE.

NO, THANK YOU, MA'AM.

I GOT THIS MAN WHO WORK FOR ME.

HAD HIM SOME TROUBLE ONCE DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS.

WHEN HE HEARD ABOUT LAWRENCE

GETTING THROWED THROUGH THAT WINDOW,

HE KNEW RIGHT OFF WHAT IT WAS.

DOWN THERE THEY GOT THIS CODE.

A MAN WELCH ON BETS LONG ENOUGH

WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE,

THEY BEAT HIM UP, THROW HIM THROUGH GLASS.

THAT TELLS THE POLICE IT'S PRIVATE BUSINESS.

THESE REDNECK COPS DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

THEY JUST YELL "NIGGER."

HE WAS GAMBLING?

LAWRENCE GAMBLED HIGH, MRS. GREY.

EVERYBODY KNEW THAT.

WELL, EVERYBODY BUT US.

EVERYBODY BUT ME!

[CRASH]

HE ROBBED US!

GAVIN'S BEST FRIEND ROBBED US.

WE GOT NOTHIN' LEFT.

THIS PLACE IS BANKRUPT.

[SOBBING]

COURSE, IT AIN'T THE BEST LOCATION IN THE WORLD.

IT'LL TAKE MONEY TO FIX IT UP.

BUT IF I'M GOING TO BUY THIS PLACE,

I MUST HAVE THE PARTICIPATION OF THE GHOST.

MY MONEY, YOUR NAME.

WITHOUT THE GRAY GHOST,

THIS PLACE IS JUST ANOTHER RESTAURANT.

I TOLD YOU,

I'M OUT OF THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS.

I'LL HAVE TO BE BLUNT.

HOW LONG HAS THIS PLACE BEEN EMPTY?

[BABY CRYING]

I KNOW ALL ABOUT THE DEBTS AND THE BACK TAXES.

WHOLE DAMN TOWN KNOWS.

AIN'T NOBODY GONNA OFFER YOU WHAT I'M OFFERIN'.

NOBODY.

WE HAVE TO TALK IT OVER.

SURE THING.

BOY, OH, BOY,

DON'T YOU LOOK JUST LIKE YOUR DADDY?

[CRYING]

WHAT'S YOUR NAME, LITTLE FELLA?

LAWRENCE.

HIS NAME IS LAWRENCE.

I KNOW.

WE CAN REDO THE DECOR IN AN OLD SOUTH STYLE.

THAT WOULD BE REAL DIFFERENT.

GHOST, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW

THAT THIS IS MORE THAN JUST BUSINESS WITH ME.

I THINK YOU JUST HUNG THE MOON.

BOLLING, THEY NEED TO TALK.

THAT JOCK-SNIFFIN' BASTARD.

I'D RATHER BURN THIS PLACE DOWN THAN SELL.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA,

EXCEPT WE'VE GOT NO DAMN INSURANCE.

LAWRENCE FIXED THAT, TOO.

WELL, I AIN'T GONNA WORK FOR HIM.

I AIN'T GONNA DO THAT TO THE GHOST.

THE GHOST HAS DEBTS AND COULD GO TO JAIL.

I'M STILL PLAYIN' FOOTBALL, AIN'T I?

FOR HOW MANY YEARS, GAVIN? ONE? TWO?

YOU ALWAYS SAID YOU WERE GOING TO RETIRE BEFORE YOU--

WHEN I RETIRE,

I'LL GET OUT SO FAST, IT'LL MAKE YOUR HEAD SWIM.

WELL, WE'VE GOT NO CHOICE, GAVIN!

WE HAVE GOT TO TAKE HIS OFFER.

YOU WANT TO RUN THINGS? YOU RUN 'EM, ALL RIGHT?

I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THIS SHIT!

* EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY SOMETIME... *

CAKE?

OH, CAKE!

OHH!

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING?

I THOUGHT YOU VANISHED

OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

I'VE BEEN A PRISONER OF THE LIBRARY.

VISIT WITH ME WHILE I HAVE MY CIGARETTE.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS PLACE?

DARLENE'S DREAM LOOKS LIKE A BROTHEL.

LOOK WHAT I'M WEARING.

I LOOK JUST LIKE MISS PRISSY BELLE.

CAKE, I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH.

TALK TO ME.

HERE'S THE FIRST COPY. I WANT YOU TO HAVE IT.

"DON McCASLIN."

OH, CAKE, YOU'VE WRITTEN A BOOK!

IT'S JUST ANOTHER ACADEMIC HISTORY.

NO ONE'S GONNA READ IT BUT MY FELLOW PROFESSORS.

I'M GONNA READ IT, I SWEAR.

OH, YOU AUTOGRAPHED IT.

"FOR ALL THAT WAS..."

"AND ALL THAT WILL BE."

OH, CAKE.

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

THERE THEY ARE-- MR. AND MRS. AMERICA.

I CAN TELL WHEN HE'LL BREAK FOR A BIG ONE.

YES! YES! THERE HE GOES! OOH!

YES! GO!

THAT'S IT! THAT'S IT!

GO! GO!

TOUCHDOWN!

HA HA! THAT'S MY PARTNER.

BOLLING KIELY, ACT YOUR AGE.

BABS, HON, WHEN YOU GET A MINUTE,

COULD YOU SEND A 7 AND 7 OVER TO MY TABLE?

COULD YOU MAKE IT TWO?

HI THERE, DON.

BEEN A WHILE.

SAY, BABS,

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I SPOKEN TO YOU

ABOUT SMOKING OUT FRONT?

IF YOU HAVE TO SMOKE,

PLEASE DO IT IN THE WASHROOM.

CERTAINLY.

WOULD YOU JOIN ME FOR A CIGARETTE

IN THE LADIES' ROOM?

WHY DON'T YOU GO SIT DOWN?

COME ON IN.

OH, CAKE.

GET IN HERE.

OH, I DESPISE HIM.

HE DESPISES ME, TOO.

HE WORSHIPS GAVIN, JUST FAWNS ALL OVER HIM.

NOT THAT GAVIN'S EVER HERE VERY MUCH.

OH, KIELY'S A FOOL. HE'S NOT WORTH IT.

I'M RUNNING THIS PLACE, CAKE,

AND I'M GOOD AT IT.

DID YOU EVER THINK I'D BE GOOD AT ANYTHING?

I NEVER DID.

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN RUNNING IT ALL ALONG.

BABS, WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE?

HOWDY, BOLLING.

I'M GOING TO GET IT BACK, I SWEAR.

THIS DON'T LOOK GOOD FOR THE CUSTOMERS.

YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, GODDAMN YOU!

ALL RIGHT, NOW. COME ON.

OH! I'M SORRY, CAKE.

I'LL NEVER CRY ON YOUR SHOULDER AGAIN.

YOU'RE WORKING FOR ME. DON'T YOU EVER FORGET THAT.

WHY, THAT'S ONE THING I COULD NEVER FORGET, MASSA KIELY.

AHEM.

GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!

GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!

GHOST! GHOST!

HEY!

GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!

GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!

GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!

IT'S A REAL HONOR Y'ALL ARE RETIRING MY JERSEY.

YOU THINK I CAN KEEP THE PANTS?

ONE MORE YEAR, GHOST!

ONE MORE YEAR, GHOST!

I PROMISED MYSELF A LONG TIME AGO

THAT I'D GO WHILE THE GOING WAS STILL GOOD.

AND, UH...

I THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME PLAY THIS GAME.

UM...

I'M THE LUCKIEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED.

THANK YOU.

GOODBYE.

GOD BLESS YOU, GHOST.

[APPLAUSE]

GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!

GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!

GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!

COME ON OVER HERE. COME ON.

DON'T BE SAD, PRECIOUS.

I JUST WANT TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

HEY, CAKE!

HEY!

I'LL PICK YOU UP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

BYE. BYE.

CALL ME TOMORROW. I'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME.

I MADE RESERVATIONS.

YOU SURE YOU WANT TO BE WITH ME AND CAKE?

THAT'S HOW WE STARTED.

WE GOT SOME THINGS HERE FOR YOUR RETIREMENT.

YOU CAN WORK ON YOUR HANDICAP

AT THE OLD FOLKS HOME.

THIS IS COMPLIMENTS OF TERRA TURF.

I'D LIKE TO PLAY SOME ROUNDS WITH YOU.

ONE DRINK.

ONE DRINK, HUH?

ONE DRINK, GHOST. ONE DRINK.

EXCUSE ME.

COME ON, BABY, LET'S GO HOME.

BYE. WHAT'S THE TIME?

HERE'S TO NOT GETTING THE CRAP KNOCKED OUT OF ME

LIKE YOU DUMB ASSHOLES.

HEY, GAVIN?

GAVIN!

OH, HONEY...YEAH?

WE'RE GOING TO MISS OUR RESERVATION.

HONEY, THERE'S BEEN A PLAY CHANGE HERE.

THE BOYS WANT A BIG OLD NIGHT ON THE TOWN

FOR A BIG OLD SEND-OFF.

WE MADE PLANS. CAKE CAME ALL THE WAY UP HERE

JUST TO BE WITH US.

HELL, CAKE WANTS TO GO, TOO, DON'T YOU?

I DON'T KNOW THAT I BELONG, GAVIN.

I'M NOT A PLAYER.

THAT DON'T MATTER.

WELL, IT DOES TO ME.

CLUCK! CLUCK! CLUCK!

CLUCK! CLUCK!

YOU GO ON WITH THE TEAM, GAVIN.

I HAVE SO MUCH PACKING TO DO.

ARE YOU SURE IT'S O.K.?

OH, WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU SURE? YOU SURE? YOU SURE?

OF COURSE I'M SURE.

WELL, WE'RE GOING TO SEE

PLENTY OF ONE ANOTHER FROM NOW ON.

YEAH.

IT IS MY LAST NIGHT WITH THE GUYS.

YOU BETTER HAVE THAT ASPIRIN READY.

YAY! YAY!

HAVE FUN.

GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!

GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!

GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

IT'S OPEN!

[DOOR SLAMS]

I HOPE YOU LIKE CHINESE.

UHH! SCREW THE FOOD. GIVE ME THAT WINE.

OH, THE HELL WITH PACKING.

TO HELL WITH EVERYTHING.

THIS IS MY RETIREMENT, TOO, GODDAMN IT.

MY LAST NIGHT AS A PLAYER'S WIFE.

PUT SOME MUSIC ON, WOULD YOU, DONNIE?

PLEASE?

LORD, HOW MANY NIGHTS HAVE I SAT HOME ALONE

WHILE GAVIN'S BEEN OUT WITH THE BOYS?

OF COURSE, THE BOYS ARE NOT ALWAYS JUST BOYS.

THEY SAY THE DOUBLE STANDARD

WAS PRACTICALLY BORN IN THE SOUTH.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK BOTH WAYS THESE DAYS.

SO I'M TOLD.

BUT I JUST DO LIKE MY MAMA TAUGHT ME--

PUT ON MY BLINDERS, MY CHASTITY BELT,

AND...SHUT MY MOUTH.

WHAT DID YOU GET, DONNIE? IT SMELLS GOOD.

THE USUAL-- DUCK'S FEET, FISH EYES, AND CHICKEN BEAKS.

HA HA!

* COME ON, EVERYBODY *

* CLAP YOUR HANDS *

* OH, YOU'RE LOOKIN' GOOD *

* I'M GONNA SING MY SONG *

* IT WON'T TAKE LONG *

* WE'RE GONNA DO THE TWIST *

* AND IT GOES LIKE THIS *

* COME ON, LET'S TWIST AGAIN *

* LIKE WE DID LAST SUMMER *

* YEAH, LET'S TWIST AGAIN *

* LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR *

* DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN *

* THINGS WERE REALLY HUMMIN'? *

* YEAH, LET'S TWIST AGAIN *

* TWISTIN' TIME IS HERE *

* EE! AROUND AND AROUND AND UP AND-- **

* IT'S NOT FOR ME TO SAY *

* YOU LOVE ME *

* IT'S NOT FOR ME TO SAY *

* YOU'LL ALWAYS CARE... **

OH, THANKS FOR LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT, DONNIE.

OH.

WELL, IT'S AN OLD TRADITION.

WHO YOU CALLIN' AN OLD TRADITION?

DONNIE, YOU GOT TO GET MARRIED.

PEOPLE ARE GONNA START TO TALK ABOUT YOU.

WELL, I JUST GOT HIGH STANDARDS.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT. I SEE.

LET'S SEE.

SHE'S GOTTA BE...

A RICH AND BEAUTIFUL NYMPHOMANIAC

THAT OWNS A LIQUOR STORE.

NO.

SHE'S GOT TO BE BEAUTIFUL, OF COURSE,

UH, RICH, LIQUOR STORE? MM-HMM.

NYMPHOMANIAC ISN'T EXACTLY AN IMPEDIMENT, BUT...

NO. SHE'S GOT TO BE...SPECIAL...

AND MAKE-- MAKE ME FEEL SPECIAL.

SOMEONE I--I LIKE TO TALK TO

AND LIKES TO HEAR ME HOLDING FORTH

ON IMPORTANT THINGS.

SOMEONE...

WHO'S FUN...

AND REALLY ALIVE.

YOU'RE MY STANDARD.

YOU JUST RUINED OTHER WOMEN FOR ME.

THEY NEVER QUITE LIVE UP...

OH, DON'T MISUNDERSTAND.

I'M NOT...

I'M NOT MAKING A PLAY OR ANYTHING.

I MEAN, YOU'RE...

YOU'RE THE MAGNOLIA QUEEN.

YOU CAN'T...

YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

THAT'S UNFAIR.

WAKE UP, THERE, SUNSHINE.

SMELL THE DAMN COFFEE.

[VOICES]

[BABS] SHUT UP, WILL YOU?

JUST EAT YOUR BREAKFAST.

OH, MY GOD.

WE GET TO WATCH TV!

YOU DIDN'T FINISH YOUR BREAKFAST.

OH, BOY.

GUYS WOULDN'T LET ME STOP.

I DO BELIEVE WE MUST HAVE DRUNK

OUR NATION'S CAPITAL DRY LAST NIGHT.

WATCH OUT. I GOT HOT COFFEE.

COME HERE, BABY.

COME ON, SUGAR.

COME HERE AND HUG ME.

GET SOME REST. WE GOT A LONG TRIP AHEAD OF US.

HMM, LOOKS LIKE I DONE CHECKED INTO THE DOGHOUSE.

HEY, CAKE.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT?

THE NEW NATIONAL SPOKESMAN

FOR TERRA TURF, INC.

TERRA TURF--

THEY MAKE THIS ARTIFICIAL GRASS

FOR FOOTBALL FIELDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

I MET THIS OLD BOY,

WANTS TO PAY ME A SHITLOAD OF MONEY

JUST TO GO AROUND SAYING

IT'S THE MIRACLE PRODUCT OF THE FUTURE.

YOU HEAR THAT, BABSIE?

YEAH. THAT'S GREAT, GAVIN. HOW MUCH IS A SHITLOAD?

WELL...

IT'S ENOUGH FOR ME TO TELL BOLLING KIELY

TO KISS MY REBEL ASS GOOD-BYE BEFORE LONG.

HI, KIDS.

STILL WATCHING MR. GREEN JEANS?

YEAH! YEAH!

HEY, CAKE? DO YOU PLAY GOLF?

A LITTLE.

I MIGHT EVEN TURN PRO.

ONCE I LEARN HOW TO PLAY.

UH-OH. UH-OH.

HONEY?

WE PACKED AND EVERYTHING?

ALMOST.

I'M SORRY ABOUT LAST NIGHT, BABY.

IT JUST WENT ON AND ON.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TIME IT WAS.

COLTS WAS LOOKIN' GOOD THAT DAY.

WE COULDN'T GET A RUNNING GAME GOING

AND AS USUAL, UNITAS WAS KICKING OUR ASS.

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

GREAT PUTT, GHOST!

NICE. HEY, GOOD.

2nd AND 8, AND WE'RE ON THEIR 30.

GIANTS WAS JUST FLAT HOT THAT DAY.

GHOST.

HUH? OH, YEAH.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE TALKING ABOUT TERRA TURF.

WELL, TERRA TURF IS THE MIRACLE PRODUCT

OF THE FUTURE,

NOT ONLY FOR SPORTING EVENTS,

BUT FOR HOME USE AS WELL.

SUCH AS YOUR PATIO OR...

YOU AND YOUR SWEETHEART COULD GET A REAL RUG BURN.

COME ON, GHOST,

TELL US ABOUT THAT GIANTS GAME.

3rd AND 4 OVER GEORGIA 25.

A MINUTE TO GO. WE'RE DOWN BY 6.

UH, TELL OLD LAWRENCE TO...

GET THAT QUARTERBACK THINKIN' ABOUT HIM,

'CAUSE I'M GONNA WET-DOG THAT SON OF A BITCH,

AND I'M GOIN' RIGHT UP OVER YOUR ASS.

[LAUGHTER]

HEY, KIDS, DON'T Y'ALL WANT TO WATCH THIS?

WE ONLY LIKE IT WHEN YOU PLAY, DAD.

CAKE, YOU'RE MISSIN' THE SUPER BOWL.

NAMATH'S KICKING ASS!

I'M MAKIN' US A GROWN-UP DINNER.

OH...

CHINESE?

SOUTHERN, HONEY.

IT'S THE BEST I CAN DO.

WE EVER GONNA TALK ABOUT IT?

HMM?

DON'T SAY "WHAT?"

I'M NOT SORRY IT HAPPENED, CAKE.

DON'T MAKE ME SORRY.

TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE WORKING ON NOW.

HUH?

I'VE BEEN OFFERED A JOB UP NORTH--

FULL PROFESSORSHIP AT LEHIGH.

THAT'S WONDERFUL, CAKE.

YEAH.

YEAH.

I MEAN, IT'S EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED.

YEAH.

EXCEPT I DON'T WANT TO GO.

I FEEL LIKE I'D LOSE SOMETHING,

NOT GET IT BACK.

IT'S GOING TO BE STRANGE

HAVING YOU AWAY UP THERE.

I FEEL LIKE IF I LEFT, WHEN I CAME BACK,

EVERYTHING WILL HAVE VANISHED.

OH...

OH, WE WON'T VANISH, CAKE.

WE'LL ALL JUST GET OLDER.

HERE IT IS AGAIN.

THERE'S ANOTHER PASS.

THERE IT GOES.

ALL RIGHT! GOD!

ALL THOSE WHO SAID THE AMERICAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE

IS A HOME FOR THE LAME AND AGING

WILL EAT THEIR WORDS TODAY.

MAKE IT TO MY FRIEND JOEY.

DID HE TELL YOU ABOUT THAT BALTIMORE GAME?

HE TELLS THIS ONE REAL GOOD.

TELL HIM.

UH...COLTS WAS LOOKING REAL GOOD THAT DAY.

WE COULDN'T GET A RUNNING GAME GOING.

UNITAS WAS KICKING OUR ASS AS USUAL.

STAND THERE RIGHT BY YOUR PICTURE.

THAT'S GOOD.

COME ON IN, FOLKS. THAT'S GOOD.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

A BIG HANDSHAKE WITH A BIG SMILE.

GOOD. NICE. THANK YOU, GHOST.

YOU LEFT US HANGING THERE.

OH, GO FUCK YOURSELF.

TOP OF THE EIGHTH, A SCORELESS TIE.

NOBODY ON, NOBODY OUT.

HERE'S THE WIND-UP.

GHOST!

GHOST!

I HATE TO BOTHER YOU AT HOME,

BUT I'VE GOT TO HAVE A MAN-TO-MAN

ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME YOU'RE SPENDING AT THE RESTAURANT.

LORD KNOWS HOW PROUD I AM TO BE IN BUSINESS WITH YOU,

BUT--

DOGGONE IT!

A DEAL'S A DEAL!

PEOPLE THINK YOU AIN'T GONNA BE THERE,

THEY DON'T COME.

I HAVE HAD SOME COMPLAINTS

ABOUT HOW YOU'RE TREATING PEOPLE DOWN THERE.

NOW, I WORSHIP THE GROUND YOU WALK ON,

BUT EITHER YOU START LIVING UP TO THIS DEAL,

OR I'VE GOT TO TAKE SOME KIND OF ACTION.

WOULD YOU SHUT THIS DAMN THING OFF?

[SHUTS ENGINE OFF]

...TRAVELING TO ST. LOUIS FOR A FOUR-GAME SERIES

WITH THE THIRD-PLACE CARDINALS.

THANK YOU.

WELL, I'M REAL GLAD THAT WE HAD THIS LITTLE TALK.

I'LL SEE YOU DOWN AT THE RESTAURANT.

HELL YOU WILL. I QUIT!

FIND SOMEBODY ELSE'S JOCK TO SNIFF.

HOW COULD YOU QUIT WITHOUT TELLING ME?

BRONCOS IS AFTER ME.

THE MINUTE I RETIRED, THE WHOLE LEAGUE WAS.

GAVIN, YOU CAN'T DO THIS.

BRONCOS ARE SO FUCKED UP,

EVEN THEIR SOCK STRIPES ARE RUNNING THE WRONG WAY.

BUT, GAVIN, YOU RETIRED.

EVERYBODY KNOWS I QUIT TOO SOON, BABS.

YOU WANT TO GET THAT RESTAURANT BACK?

THIS IS OUR ONLY CHANCE.

I'M DOING IT FOR YOU.

DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT.

WE'D MAKE IT FINE IF YOU'D HELP OUT A LITTLE.

GAVIN, LISTEN TO ME!

DON'T DO THIS TO THE GRAY GHOST, GAVIN.

THIS SHIT, IT'S... IT'S KILLING ME, BABS.

THE MORE I TELL THE DAMN STORIES,

THE MORE I FEEL LIKE I'M JUST MAKING IT UP,

LIKE IT NEVER EVEN HAPPENED TO ME.

THE BRONCOS-- THEY BELIEVE IN ME.

I CAN HELP THEM OUT--

YOU'RE JUST POSTPONING IT.

WELL, THEN, I'LL JUST HAVE TO POSTPONE THEM THEN.

BABY...

YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE DENVER-- YOU AND THE KIDS.

I'M GOING TO GET THERE.

I'M GOING TO GET US A REAL GREAT PLACE TO LIVE.

OH, GAVIN...

I'M NOT GOING WITH YOU.

ME AND THE KIDS ARE STAYING HERE.

I'LL FIND A JOB.

OUR LIFE IS HERE, GAVIN.

GET UP!

TRAINER! TRAINER, OVER HERE.

YOU ONCE ASKED FOR HIS NAME

FOR A CHAIN OF DRIVE-INS, LIKE BLUE BOY.

IT'S TOO LATE NOW, MRS. GREY.

THEN WILL YOU GIVE ME A JOB?

I GOT 100 BLACK MEN NEED JOBS, BLACK WOMEN, TOO.

WHY SHOULD I GIVE YOU ONE?

BECAUSE YOU NEED WHITE FACES,

AND I KNOW THIS BUSINESS, MR. BLUE.

IT WAS ME

THAT KEPT THE GRAY GHOST INN GOING ALL THESE YEARS.

WHAT'S IT GONNA DO TO GHOST, AS A MAN,

IF YOU'RE THE ONE MAKING A LIVING?

WELL, THE LIVING HAS TO BE MADE, MR. BLUE,

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

[MOANING]

HOLD ON TO THE BALL!

HUT!

COME ON! GET THEM!

GET GOING!

SCORE! GET THEM!

GREY, TAKE A REST.

TAKE A REST.

GET UPCHURCH IN THERE RIGHT NOW

AT RUNNING BACK.

HERE IT IS-- THE OLD SOUTH.

JUST THE WAY YOU DESCRIBED IT TO ME, PROFESSOR.

SHOW A LITTLE REVERENCE, WILL YOU?

WE'RE ON HOLLOWED GROUND HERE.

YEAH. I CAN SEE.

THAT WAS THE GRAY GHOST INN.

[BEEP BEEP BEEP]

WE'RE HERE.

HA HA!

OH, CAKE!

OH, MY LORD!

OHH!

I WAS GOING TO CHANGE AND HAVE LUNCH READY.

GAVIN HAS BEEN CALLING EVERY FIVE MINUTES,

WONDERING WHERE YOU ARE.

YOU MUST BE LESLIE.

WELCOME.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

IF THAT'S FOR ME, SAY I'LL CALL RIGHT BACK.

IT'S BEEN SO LONG.

OH, DON'T YOU DARE COME IN MY HOUSE

UNTIL I GET IT PICKED UP. WAIT JUST ONE MINUTE.

CINDY, HELP ME PICK THIS PLACE UP.

YOUR UNCLE DONNIE'S HERE.

CAKE?

HMM? DON'T ASK.

TAKE THOSE DISHES TO THE KITCHEN.

CINDY? MY GOD! HAS IT BEEN 10 YEARS?

IS THAT REALLY YOU?

HASN'T SHE GROWN?

CINDY, SAY HELLO TO LESLIE.

HEY.

HI. SORRY.

THEY BOTH HAVE JOBS.

TOMMY IS ACTUALLY ENGAGED.

OH, CAKE, MY LORD!

I MAY BE A GRANDMOTHER ONE OF THESE DAYS.

OH, I'M JUST RATTLING ON.

I'M SO SORRY, LESLIE.

YOU MUST BE EXHAUSTED.

CAN I SHOW YOU WHERE TO POWDER YOUR NOSE?

OH. MY NOSE IS FINE, BUT I GOT TO PEE.

JUST YOUR TYPICAL BLUNT-SPEAKING YANKEE.

WELL, CINDY, SHOW LESLIE WHERE THE TOILET IS.

COME ON.

THAT WAS DAD ON THE PHONE, MOM.

SAYS CAKE BETTER GET HIS ASS DOWN TO THE CLUB.

JUST QUOTING DAD.

LAWRENCE?

UNCLE DON.

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT.

I TOLD YOU THAT GAVIN IS GOLF PRO AT THE CLUB NOW.

BABY, RUN OUTSIDE AND GET THEIR LUGGAGE.

YES, MA'AM.

EXCUSE ME.

WHEW.

SHE'S REAL SMART, ISN'T SHE, CAKE?

MMM.

REAL PRETTY, TOO.

SO ARE YOU.

YOU MUST HAVE A PACT WITH THE DEVIL.

OH, BLESS YOUR HEART.

NARVEL BLUE KEEPS ME MOVING.

HE'S RUNNING FOR THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

I'M IN CHARGE OF ALL HIS OPERATIONS

IN THE TRI-STATE AREA NOW.

THAT'S GREAT. HOW IS GAVIN?

ISN'T THAT ODD?

WHENEVER I SAY WHAT A BIG SUCCESS I AM,

EVERYBODY ALWAYS ASKS, "HOW'S GAVIN?"

HELL, I'VE BEEN DOING JUST GREAT, CAKE...

GETTING PAID TO PLAY GOLF ALL DAY.

OF COURSE, I'M ONLY ASSISTANT PRO HERE, BUT YOU KNOW--

WHAT THE HELL.

I'VE BEEN READING THAT BOOK YOU WROTE ON JEB STUART--

THE PRIDE OF THE CONFEDERACY.

YOU'RE A HELL OF A WRITER, SON.

OH, WELL. THANK YOU, GAVIN.

THANK YOU.

YOU, UH, MAKE ANY MONEY OFF WRITING?

OH, NOT MUCH.

IT'S JUST YOU PUBLISH, OR YOU PERISH.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO WRITE A BESTSELLER?

OH, WELL. I MEAN, I'M NOT ADVERSE TO MONEY.

I TALK IT, YOU WRITE IT.

WE CALL IT THE GRAY GHOST.

WELL, THAT'S, UH...

THAT'S OUT OF MY FIELD, GAVIN.

HELL, MAN. WE'D CLEAN UP.

SEEMS LIKE EVERY DAMN JOCK EVER LIVED NOWADAYS IS WRITING A BOOK,

AND THEY'RE ON TV, TALKING ABOUT HOW GREAT THEY WAS.

OR HOW THEY OVERCOME THEIR DRUG HABIT

OR BURNED A LIVING ON 1.5 MILLION A YEAR.

THOSE KIND OF BOOKS.

NO. UH-UH. NO.

THIS IS GONNA BE DIFFERENT.

I MEAN, WE TELL THEM HOW IT USED TO BE.

ABOUT WHAT IT REALLY FELT LIKE TO BE A HERO.

MM-HMM. MM-HMM.

WELL...

GAVIN, I'M REAL FLATTERED.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I'D TRUST TO WRITE IT, CAKE.

YOU WERE THERE, MAN.

[BABS] WE'VE JUST NEVER TRIED TO COMPETE IN THAT REGION.

IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US.

IF THIS GUY HAD BUYERS BEATING DOWN HIS DOOR,

HE STILL WOULDN'T BE TALKING TO US, NOW, WOULD HE?

NARVEL DOESN'T WANT TO PAY THAT PRICE. NEITHER DO I.

CAKE, HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR STEAK?

MEDIUM RARE.

SO, DON TELLS ME

THIS REUNION IS MOSTLY A TRIBUTE TO YOU.

OH, HELL.

THE OLD TEAM WANTED IT.

I SAID, "WHAT THE HELL?

AS LONG AS I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE A SPEECH."

CAN'T LET THE OLD TEAM DOWN.

NARVEL WANTED TO GET INTO THE NORTHERN MARKET.

I NEVER DID, HONEY.

LOOK, HE WANTS TO SELL. WE WANT TO BUY, O.K.?

IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

NOW, YOU TAKE HIM OUT TONIGHT.

YOU FILL HIM FULL OF BOURBON--

WHAT?

THEN YOU USE YOUR CHARM ON HIM.

GET OFF THAT DAMN PHONE. PUT SOME PLATES ON THE TABLE.

LOOK, I'VE GOT GUESTS. I'VE GOT TO GO.

THE VICTORY OVER AUBURN

MEANT WE WERE ALL-SYSTEMS-GO FOR THE SUGAR BOWL,

BUT NEXT UP WAS ALABAMA'S TOUGH CRIMSON TIDE.

WHAT I DID, LESLIE,

IS I WENT THROUGH IT GAME BY GAME.

YOU KNOW, YOU MUST HAVE AN AMAZING MEMORY.

BUT WE HAD US SOME PROBLEMS.

GAVIN, I DON'T THINK LESLIE IS INTERESTED IN THE PLAY-BY-PLAY.

I'M GIVING HER AN IDEA ABOUT THE BOOK.

IF CAKE'S GOING TO WRITE IT...

ARE YOU GOING TO WRITE THIS BOOK, CAKE?

I HAVEN'T SAID THAT I WAS GOING TO--

HERE'S A KEY PLAY.

I GOT THE HAND-OFF,

HEADED STRAIGHT THROUGH RIGHT BEHIND LAWRENCE.

GRAY GHOST WAS...

JUST OFF AND RUNNING.

NO NEED TO LOOK BACK.

AIN'T NOBODY GONNA CATCH HIM.

TOUCHDOWN.

YOU REMEMBER WHAT THAT ANNOUNCER USED TO SAY

INSTEAD OF "TOUCHDOWN, GREY"?

YOU REMEMBER THAT, CAKE?

YEAH.

HE USED TO SAY, "THE GRAY...

GHOST."

"THE GRAY GHOST."

WE PLAYED BOTH WAYS IN THEM DAYS.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE WEDDING.

TURN THAT THING OFF, GAVIN.

WELL, HONEY--

TURN IT OFF.

WE HAD A GAME GOING.

IN THE HUDDLE...

TURN IT OFF, GAVIN.

LIKE HE SOMETIMES DID.

WHAT'LL IT BE, GHOST?

WELL, NOW, TELL US WHAT YOUR WEDDING PLANS ARE.

WELL... WELL...

GO AHEAD.

WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE A BIG DEAL.

WE'RE JUST GONNA GO SOMEWHERE AND DO IT.

BIG WEDDINGS ARE OUT OF DATE NOWADAYS, AREN'T THEY?

OH, YEAH. HELL, YEAH. ANY KIND OF WEDDING.

PEOPLE TODAY, THEY GOT THE RIGHT IDEA.

USED TO BE, UH,

IF A GIRL GOT LAID BEFORE SHE GOT--

OH, WE ALL KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN THE PREHISTORIC DAYS.

THERE WAS TWO KINDS OF GIRLS BACK THEN, LESLIE.

YOU HAD YOUR NICE GIRLS...

THEN YOU HAD YOUR PUNCHBOARDS.

HA HA HA.

NOWADAYS, EVEN NICE GIRLS LIKE TO SCREW.

MMM. JUST LIKE THE NICE BOYS, HMM?

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, LESLIE, LET'S GO.

I HAVEN'T PLAYED TENNIS IN ABOUT 10 YEARS.

RIGHT. JUST GET IT ACROSS THE NET.

OH. THAT'S IT.

YEAH. THAT'S IT.

WOW!

YEAH, "10 YEARS."

YOUR GIRL IS WHIPPING MY BUTT.

YOU'RE GONNA MARRY THIS GIRL,

YOU GOT TO GET IN SOME SHAPE.

WHAT THEY BEEN TEACHING YOU IN YANKEE LAND?

[LESLIE] THINGS YOU SOUTHERN BOYS WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

LESLIE MUST THINK WE'RE AWFUL.

OH, SHE THINKS YOU'RE FASCINATING.

IS SHE GOOD IN BED, CAKE?

IS SHE?

WELL, YEAH. SURE.

THAT'S GOOD. IT HELPS.

OH!

ARE YOU DOING THAT ON PURPOSE?

I'VE GOT A BUM KNEE.

YOU REALLY GONNA WRITE HIS BOOK?

WOULD ANYBODY CARE ANYMORE?

WELL, THEY MIGHT.

HE WAS THE REAL THING.

YES, HE WAS.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

CAKE, HOW ABOUT A LITTLE SHOOTER BEFORE THE GAME?

TAKE IT EASY.

YOU'VE GOT THE GAME AND THE BANQUET.

HELLO?

I'M GOING UPSTAIRS.

IT'S FOR YOU.

I'LL TAKE IT IN THE BEDROOM.

HELLO?

BABS, THIS IS RICK.

HI. HOW DID IT GO?

OH, GREAT.

I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT.

SHE'S FUCKING SOMEBODY, CAKE.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

SOME GUY AT WORK, PROBABLY.

AIN'T THAT A BITCH?

MAGNOLIA QUEEN.

UH, GIVE ME ONE OF THOSE.

[HONK]

WHERE IS EVERYBODY? LET'S GET THIS THING OVER WITH!

OH, DONNIE. THANK GOODNESS.

HELP ME WITH THIS, WILL YOU, PLEASE?

AS MANY HOMECOMING CORSAGES I'VE PINNED ON,

AND I STILL CAN'T--

GAVIN THINKS YOU'RE HAVING AN AFFAIR.

ARE YOU?

GAVIN GETS JEALOUS NOW.

HE NEVER EVEN USED TO THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE.

ARE YOU?

TELL ME, BABS.

NO.

OH, I GET OFFERS.

I WORK WITH MEN, AND MEN WILL MAKE OFFERS,

BUT NO. NO AFFAIR.

IT'S STILL JUST GAVIN AND ME.

I'M STILL AS PURE AS LOUISIANA SUNSHINE.

EXCEPT FOR ME.

OR DON'T I COUNT?

YOU COUNT, CAKE. OF COURSE YOU COUNT.

COME ON. WE HAVE TO GO.

I'M NERVOUS ENOUGH ALREADY.

OH, COME ON.

MY STOMACH'S ALL TIED UP IN KNOTS.

GAVIN, JUST RELAX AND LET ME DRIVE.

SLIDE OVER.

O.K.

YOU REMEMBER THIS, BABS?

THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO WEAR IT TODAY.

LET'S GO.

T-I-G-E-R-S! TIGERS!

LET'S GO, TIGERS!

GO, TIGERS!

[BAND PLAYING]

LESLIE, IT'S SWEET OF YOU TO PUT UP WITH THIS.

ARE YOU A FOOTBALL FAN?

IT'S JUST NOT A RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE

AT LEHIGH.

NO. I DON'T SUPPOSE IT IS.

RETURN WITH US NOW 25 YEARS INTO THE PAST

TO 1956--

DWIGHT WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE,

AND AMERICA IS LEARNING HOW TO ROCK 'N' ROLL,

BUT TO US LOUISIANIANS, 1956...

THERE HE IS. SEE HIM?

CINDY, DEAR, SEE YOUR DADDY?

THERE'S GAVIN.

PLEASE DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THE WEST SIDELINES.

MOST OF THE MEMBERS OF THAT TEAM ARE HERE

FOR THE 25-YEAR REUNION.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

LET'S HEAR IT FOR OUR 1956 NATIONAL CHAMPION TIGERS!

COME ON, BOYS.

HOLD ON, GHOST.

AND NOW,

THE CAPTAIN OF THAT GREAT TEAM--

UNANIMOUS CHOICE FOR ALL-AMERICAN

IN BOTH HIS JUNIOR AND SENIOR YEARS,

FIRST-ROUND DRAFT CHOICE FOR THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS,

WHERE HE WAS ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

AND TWO-TIME ALL-PRO,

A LIVING LEGEND--

HE WAS NUMBER 20 IN YOUR PROGRAMS,

BUT NUMBER 1 IN YOUR HEARTS.

MAKE WELCOME, PLEASE,

GAVIN GREY, THE GRAY GHOST!

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

[BAND PLAYING]

T-I-G-E-R-S!

TIGERS!

GHOST, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

OH, DONNIE!

CAKE, GO SEE IF YOU CAN FIND HIM.

SEE IF HE'S ALL RIGHT. PLEASE, CAKE.

OH, GAVIN. GAVIN.

GAVIN! GAVIN, WHAT HAPPENED BACK THERE--

THE KIDS ARE JUST ALL FIRED UP ABOUT THE GAME.

AT THE BANQUET, IT'LL BE YOUR FRIENDS.

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT OLD JEB STUART,

THE PRIDE OF THE CONFEDERACY.

HE WAS A PISTOL, WASN'T HE?

JEB STUART EMBODIED EVERYTHING THE SOUTH WANTED TO BELIEVE ABOUT ITSELF.

HE WAS JUST 31 WHEN HE DIED.

RECKON HOW MUCH OF A HERO HE'D HAVE BEEN

IF HE'D LIVED.

BABS SEE ME MAKE A FOOL OF MYSELF BACK THERE?

YOU DIDN'T MAKE A FOOL OUT OF YOURSELF, GAVIN.

I'M LOSING HER, CAKE.

PROBABLY DESERVE TO. THIS AIN'T THE DEAL SHE MADE.

OH, GAVIN, STOP IT.

YOU'RE JUST FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF.

SHE'S NOT HAVING AN AFFAIR.

IT'S ALL IN YOUR MIND.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I ASKED HER.

THAT'S KIND OF A FUNNY QUESTION

TO ASK ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE.

CAKE...

DID YOU AND...

NO, GAVIN.

GAVIN, NO.

I WOULDN'T--

YOU KNOW I WOULDN'T.

[CHEERING]

WE MUST'VE GOT 6.

OH, UH, ABOUT THAT BOOK, CAKE...

YOU JUST FORGET THE WHOLE THING.

PEOPLE NOWADAYS GOT BETTER THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.

WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THE GREAT TEAMS,

THEY TALK ABOUT THE 1956 TIGERS LED BY A LEGEND.

HIS NAME WAS GAVIN GRAY,

BUT TO FRIEND AND FOE ALIKE,

HE WAS ALWAYS THE GRAY GHOST--

FLAWLESS, GRACEFUL,

TWICE UNANIMOUS CHOICE FOR ALL-AMERICAN.

HE MOWED DOWN RECORDS

THE WAY HE MOWED DOWN ENEMY DEFENDERS,

BUT HIS GREATNESS...

CHEER UP, GHOST.

MAYBE THEY WON'T DO THIS AGAIN

FOR ANOTHER 25 YEARS.

THANK YOU, BLUE.

IT BEGAN WITH VANDERBILT.

THE COMMODORES FROM TENNESSEE SEEMED TO MELT

BEFORE A SAVAGE TIGER RUNNING ATTACK...

SOMETIMES...

I WISH I TOOK YOU UP ON THAT OFFER OF YOURS.

TIGER FANS DREAMED OF THE SUGAR BOWL...

JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I COULD'VE DONE.

MORE EASY VICTORIES FOLLOWED.

THEN CAME THE CRIMSON TIDE.

THE ALABAMA BOYS WERE DETERMINED

TO BREAK THE TIGERS' WINNING STREAK.

THE FIRST HALF OUR BOYS HELD ONE TOUCHDOWN...

HEY, HEY, BLUE.

YOU WANT TO RACE?

NO, NO, NO.

THE TIGERS BEGAN THEIR DRIVE

SPARKED, AS USUAL, BY THE GRAY GHOST.

THE TIDE WAVERED...

EXCUSE ME. I FORGOT MY CIGARETTES.

[CHEERING]

THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS,

OTHER GREAT YEARS,

BUT NONE LIKE THAT GOLDEN SEASON--

UNBLEMISHED BY DEFEAT,

CROWNED BY GLORY.

[CHEERING]

HE ASKED ABOUT US TODAY.

I LIED...

BUT HE KNOWS.

BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT.

THEN, IN THE CLOSING SECONDS,

A DESPERATE ATTEMPT PAYS OFF.

ED LAWRENCE FORCES A BULLDOG FUMBLE,

LATERALS TO GREY, AND THE GHOST IS OFF,

RUNNING INTO HISTORY AND LEGEND

AND A TIGER CHAMPIONSHIP WE'LL NEVER FORGET.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

GO ON. GO AHEAD.

IT'S NOW THAT COUNTS, BABS.

IT'S ALL THAT COUNTS.

GHOST, I KNOW WE PROMISED WE WOULDN'T DO THIS,

BUT HOW ABOUT A FEW WORDS?

HELP GET HIM UP HERE.

GAVIN GREY, GREAT ALL-AMERICAN,

THE GRAY GHOST!

COME ON, GHOST. GET UP.

WATCHING THAT LAST RUN BACK THERE IN THE SUGAR BOWL,

I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF

SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE SHOT ME RIGHT THEN AND THERE.

[LAUGHTER]

BUT NOBODY DID.

AND I RECKON I'M GLAD THEY DIDN'T,

'CAUSE THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN MAKING TOUCHDOWNS.

I USED TO KNOW THAT.

I GUESS I FORGOT IT TILL THIS AFTERNOON.

BUT THERE'S SOME THINGS I DON'T WANT TO FORGET.

THIS WAS THE BEST DAMN TEAM THERE EVER WAS.

BULL LAWRENCE NEVER MISSED A BLOCK.

I JUST GOT ALL THE GLORY.

THAT'S NOT WHY I PLAYED THIS GAME.

I PLAYED IT 'CAUSE I LOVED IT.

AND, BABSIE...

I'VE HAD A LOT TO LOVE IN MY LIFE,

BUT BECAUSE OF YOU,

I AM THE LUCKIEST MAN THAT EVER LIVED.

LET'S GO HOME, PRECIOUS.

* NOW AFTER ALL OF THE SEARCHING *

* I SEE THE ANSWER IN YOUR EYES *

* SHOW ME THE WAY TO STOP HURTING *

* IN A WORLD THAT KEEPS ON CHANGING *

* LOVE'S BEEN KNOWN TO DISAPPEAR *

* BUT I'VE GOT TO HAVE YOU HERE *

* UNTIL FOREVER *

* THIS IS FOR ALWAYS *

* IF WE'RE TOGETHER *

* NOTHING'S GONNA TAKE THAT AWAY *

* UNTIL FOREVER *

* 'CAUSE IT WAS MEANT TO BE *

* IT'S FOREVER YOU *

* IT'S FOREVER YOU *

* AND ME *

* HERE IS A HEART THAT REMEMBERS *

* WE LOST SO MUCH ALONG THE WAY *

* OH, WE'LL BUILD A FIRE FROM THE EMBERS *

* THOUGH THE ROAD'S UNCERTAIN *

* THERE CAN BE NO TURNING BACK *

* THIS LOVE HAS GOT TO LAST *

* UNTIL FOREVER *

* THIS IS FOR ALWAYS *

* IF WE'RE TOGETHER *

* NOTHING'S GONNA TAKE THAT AWAY *

* UNTIL FOREVER *

* OUR LOVE WAS MEANT TO BE *

* IT'S FOREVER YOU *

* IT'S FOREVER YOU *

* AND ME *

* I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH *

* OH, BABY *

* OH, THIS LOVE HAS SEEN IT ALL *

* BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO BREAK IT *

* I KNOW WE'RE GOIN' TO MAKE IT *

* UNTIL FOREVER *

* THIS IS FOR ALWAYS *

* IF WE'RE TOGETHER *

* NOTHING'S GONNA TAKE THAT AWAY *

* UNTIL FOREVER *

* THIS LOVE WAS MEANT TO BE *

* IT'S FOREVER YOU *

* IT'S FOREVER YOU *

* IT'S FOREVER YOU *

* AND ME *

* OH, YEAH **
