Rolling.

And action.

Hi, y 'all.

Darcy Green, the queen of dreams, here to tell you about our three -day

dream -a -thot. Now, if you're driving around town in a box of dirt like

this, come into Darcy's Dreams and trade in your dirt for a stud

like this.

you just might find yourself driving off into the sunset.

Together.

Cut!

Oh, Dwight, Dwight, honey, can we get this thing glued back on?

Glued?

Tell you what, honey, why don't you stick to selling? Oh, and you stick to

fixing, Sugarbush.

Don't we all?

Oh, you go on now.

Picking up from where we left off.

Rolling. And action.

Maybe the call of your dreams is a classic.

Yes. Folks, she's a rare gem.

plan buys you a ticket up this stairway to heaven.

And you can drive away in the car of your dreams at a price that won't keep

up night.

Oh, hey, good looking.

You looking for a deal?

Cut.

Watch your master at work.

He's the original mouse?

And she's got new plugs, new paint, and she purrs like a kitten.

Oh, and the seats match your eyes.

Go on, Mr.

Smith.

Mr. Smith.

Go on.

Turn over.

Sweet.

Love at first sight. And wait. Wait till you see how she hugs.

the road.

Go on, take him for a test drive.

Hot dog.

Roll him, baby. I'm on fire.

And you can drive away in the car of your dreams at a price that won't keep

up night.

Today was her birthday.

Okay, pops, let's get you out of here. Come on, then.

Give my buck, Dwight!

20 years ago today it happened!

And you can pretend you don't remember, but you know!

You know!

Dreams die hard, Darcy.

Change! You could change a world.

Change!

Rearrange your world.

Change!

Take one, divide by two.

Change! If it was only a...

Why, honey?

I need some help. I'm not seeing right.

That's... That's... You.

But sure.

But I... Just die, Darcy.

Oh, no way. How can that be? I've got so much unfinished business to take care

of.

We'll begin to deal with it now, Miss Green.

Hey, Judge Wapner.

Judge Othniel.

He's come to decide your eternal fate.

Well,

hello, Judge.

Nice wheels.

They look mighty fine.

Darcy Green, you stand accused of lying to your fellow man.

Oh, that's not true.

Okay, okay, so maybe I embellished a little. I was selling dreams.

When people fall in love, they don't want anyone to spoil it.

I never told my customers anything they didn't want to hear.

Never say never.

It only holds up.

Actions speak volumes. Miss Green, do you recognize this person?

Obviously, it's one of my happy customers.

I always snap the photo to seal the deal and signed it with a kiss.

But I got so many of them, I can't remember them all.

Why does that bum have this?

Now, this car.

I'm telling you. I happen to know that Miss Ross drove this very car.

This car belongs to Miss Ross. Oh, yes, honey. I'm telling you. The only gas

they ever put in the tank is Supreme.

Well, come on, Harry. Have a little fun. You know your little sister Rebecca was

meant to have this car.

New shocks and tires on that deal?

I bet we didn't even come out of here.

If only Rebecca had come out alive.

What?

She crashed on the way to her 16th birthday party.

That very same night.

Mechanical failure.

She died?

Instantly.

Are you sure?

That girl, she lost her life?

And her brother?

He lost his mind.

Became a lost soul, what you people here on Earth refer to as bums.

Oh, Your Honor, I thought that car was okay.

Dwight checked it out himself. If I thought there was even a chance that it

wasn't safe... Come on, Judge, she didn't know the car was defective.

What about all the good things she's done?

You have done good things, right?

Everybody starts off innocent, Your Honor.

Everybody's somebody's little girl or little boy, right?

Yes, you're right, Mr. Smith.

Darcy, you sure this isn't the place?

Yep, it's in the paper. He died just yesterday.

You got the locket?

I got a pocketful.

Love forever.

Love forever.

You're such a sweet man.

Beautiful. I'm afraid we can't afford them.

Ma 'am, your husband wanted you to have that necklace.

He weren't here but a week ago and he was set on you having it.

I used the money in my piggy bank, Mama.

That's my girl.

You're the best little helper in the whole wide world, baby doll. The very

The whole thing was a game.

And it's so early. At this rate, we can hit up five more widows before supper.

And you were your daddy's little helper, weren't you?

It meant the world to me.

Some people might have thought it was wrong, but we did.

Indeed.

Many people.

On heaven and earth.

Your Honor, don't you see?

She learned that lying was the only way to get approval from the person she

loved the most in the whole world.

Her father.

But that doesn't excuse what I did, does it?

It's a consideration.

Your Honor, do I look like the type of person that would sell a...

A death machine.

I'm not. I sell dreams.

Look, if there's any way, any way that I can make up for that poor girl, I'll do

anything.

I hope you mean that.

Darcy Green, you will have three days and three days only to erase hubris and

reawaken the honesty and integrity of your soul.

What? Become an honest woman.

Hang on, Judge.

Now, with all due respect, you expect me to overhaul my whole bad self in just

three days?

That's right.

Yes. Ten. Ten days.

Quit while you're ahead.

Three. Okay, six.

Three. Oh, heck, Megaphone, we got a deal. You know, that robe is really

striking on you. It brings out the color in your eyes.

Three days and three days only.

With all your memories intact, no one will recognize you. You are a free agent

in the universe with the blessing of God Almighty and his court.

Oh, look at

you.

White, white.

I could fall in love all over again.

Is it a sin to love a man that belongs to another woman, even though you are

other woman in another life?

Don't get sidetracked, Darcy.

Remember, you're a woman on a mission.

Oh, my.

That's me.

Oh, look at that hair.

Oh, I should be ashamed for being a slave to fashion.

Sorry.

Oh, I don't blame you, honey.

I blame Joan Collins.

Now this is a nightmare.

I wouldn't be caught dead driving this thing.

Unfortunately. I am dead.

But she's not.

Hello, hello.

Hi. Now this car.

I'm telling you. I happen to know that Miss Ross drove this.

There we go.

This car belongs to Miss Ross. Oh, yes, honey, I'm telling you. The only gas we

ever put in the tank is Supreme.

I can still save that girl.

I haven't closed the deal yet.

Oh, and if God is my witness, I will never, ever tell another single solitary

lie for as long as I live.

And after.

Deal is deal.

Make an offer she can't refuse.

Don't look at me. I'm invisible to everyone but you.

Where did y 'all find this car?

I have just got to have it. Now, what are you asking? Whatever it is, I'll

double it. Oh, no, no, no. I'm... Sorry, miss, but this little lady has her

heart set on driving this very car, and I'm a woman of her word.

Save it, sister. It's a defective piece of junk.

Defective? Then why are you so keen on buying it for, huh? And for double the

second price, hmm?

Don't look at me.

You just got a point.

Looks like you've been outfoxed by yourself.

Nobody's a bigger fox than I am.

Guess modesty's not your strong suit, even in that suit, honey.

The deal's been sealed.

Darcy, honey?

What's going on over here? Just closing the deal.

I'm Dwight White, Darcy's partner.

Who might you be?

He's, uh... Louise Luttrell.

Consumer Watchdog Report.

Consumer Watchdog Report.

I think you dropped this, ma 'am.

Oh, this makes my job easier.

And you're? Derek, my new mechanic.

You're late.

Car trouble?

Better get on it. Anderson will show you your work area.

Right after you help me escort Miss Luttrell off of the premises.

Back off, Derek.

I know this is a test, but I'm not failing.

You have to leave, ma 'am.

Make me.

Maybe she does know something about these cars. I mean, she is from Consumer

Watchdog. My, she's a loon.

Listen, I promise, there's nothing wrong with that car.

Look, if it makes you feel better, I have to white check her out from bumper

bumper. That would make me feel a whole lot better.

Dwight checked the car out.

Promises it's okay.

Then it wasn't the car?

Is there any chance that that Judge Othniel could be wrong?

He's never wrong.

What happened to never say never?

Well, there's another possibility.

Maybe something's up with your man Dwight.

Well, now, there's a lot of things about Dwight I never could truly count on. I

mean, let's face it, he's a looker. He's got to be kept on a short leash. And

after all these years, he has never mustered up the courage to pop the big

questions. But one sure thing about him, he's a great mechanic.

Okay.

You're probably right.

Who should trust a heavenly judge anyway?

I'm sure Rebecca will be fine.

I mean, if you can't put your faith in a man who sells used cars.

Who can you trust?

Right?

This doesn't mean I don't trust Dwight, but tonight is the night she got into

that car wreck, so...

We keep her off the road. That'll be it. She's safe.

How are you going to do that?

Easy.

She can't drive if she doesn't have a car.

Wait.

Hold on.

Honest women do not steal cars.

Oh, oh, you're right.

That goes against everything I came back to accomplish.

Oh, I can't.

But you can.

Me? Come on, sugar, be an angel.

It's a small price to pay to save a life.

No way.

Forget it, Darcy.

Oh, okay, you're right. Wouldn't be worth it.

Look at her.

I bet she's never even kissed a boy.

Or ran barefoot on a beach at sunset.

Or snuggled with an adorable little puppy just whimpering in her ear.

If we're gonna work together, you gotta promise me never do that puppy thing

again. It's for a good cause.

I ain't gonna hear about this.

Hurry up!

We're the company.

What do you think you're doing?

Well, me and my friend here.

He can't see me.

What?

Oh, hey.

The truth is, I saw you today and I just couldn't get you out of my mind.

As God is my witness... I'm not lying.

So, you followed me home?

Kinda. I just had this...

Thought I'd take a chance. Thought, what am I so afraid of? Careful, Darcy.

Of course, I got to admit, my heart is racing a mile a minute. Just racing.

Darcy.

That is the dead honest truth.

Sound like I'm stepping out on Dwight because I'm dead.

What?

Who's Dwight?

My ex.

Now, listen, sweet pants.

Now, I know I'm a woman of experience.

Well, I'm old enough to be a...

Your older sister, anyway.

If you can make a decent cup of coffee, I'll follow you anywhere.

Oh, don't you know you gotta take a little risk every once in a while?

Have a little fun rather than analyzing it.

You know, my sister tells me I need to get out of the house more. That the

woman isn't just gonna show up at the front door. Ding dong.

Cream and sugar?

Be still, my heart.

Whole family gonna celebrate?

It's just me and Rebecca now.

So where are your folks?

They passed on.

My sister and I have pretty much been on our own since I finished high school.

Oh, Harry, that's rough.

I left home when I was 16, but to be left... You've taken care of her all

years? We try and take care of each other.

Oh, look what I got for her.

It's a surprise.

It's beautiful, but I'm afraid we can't afford this.

Ma 'am, your husband wanted you to have that necklace.

Oh, it's beautiful.

You think she'll like it?

Oh, may I? Oh, yeah, yeah.

It was from our mother.

Um, Harry, there's something I need to tell you.

About this necklace.

I know. The jeweler told me I spent more repairing it than it's worth, but it's

priceless to us.

It was a gift from my father.

After he died, Mom was devastated, and then, boom, this came to us.

I think she lived longer because of it, and it's all I've got left of her.

I figured it's time Rebecca had it.

Harry!

Did you win, Harry? Uh, no.

But we did a lot better. You remember Ms. Luttrell? Hello.

Happy birthday, honey.

Harry, can I talk to you for a second?

Sure. I'll be right back.

I thought you were going to

tell the truth and nothing but the truth.

What is the truth?

I'll show you the truth.

Hey, okay, if I burn in hell, I burn in hell, but I can't break his heart that

way or hers.

I'm not saying what I did was right, but losing their parents like they did, so

young, and Lord knows I know what the locket means to them, but I am not about

to take that away from them.

So if it's burn, baby, burn, so be it.

Sorry about that.

My sister wanted to drive her new car to some all -night disco.

Oh, well, um, I know it's none of my business, but, uh, tell me you said no.

no, no, of course not. It's a school night. Oh, Harry, she is so lucky to

you. I told her to be home not a minute after her curfew.

Curfew? Well, where'd she go? I thought the party was here. You put the candles

on the gate.

No, that's for later. Right now she's off to a friend's house.

I'm so sorry.

It's almost like you knew.

Just...

Just tell me she's going to be all right.

Oh, she's all right?

She's going to be all right.

And I pray that...

I failed.

That's not true.

Darcy, you made a difference.

That girl is lying in there fighting for her life. At least she's still got a

life to fight for.

Remember, Othniel said she died instantly. But because you were at the

talking to her brother, because you were there, Rebecca left for that party a

few seconds later.

Those seconds saved her life.

Help me to understand.

Was it fate that she was in the accident or just plain old bad luck?

I don't think it's about fate or bad luck. It's about a defective steering

column. Dwight wouldn't have.

He would never.

It's not just about telling the truth, Darcy.

It's about seeing it, too.

Lady, you're trespassing again. How could you sell a defective car?

You were supposed to inspect that car inside and out. There was nothing wrong

with it. Now leave or I'm calling the cops.

Be my guest. The cops have impounded that car and are inspecting every nut

bolt on that thing as we speak. Impounded it for what?

It was in an accident last night.

Was anyone hurt?

Yes.

Rebecca Kincaid is in the hospital fighting for her life.

Sorry to hear that.

But it doesn't prove the car was defective.

She was a young girl, probably just got her license.

It was a terrible tragedy, but not because of me or Darcy.

You're doing it.

What? Oh, don't give me what. You're giving me the look.

You know, like a dog does when it's done a bad thing on the carpet and pretends

that it didn't. Now you lost me.

You're hiding something. Don't know exactly what it is, but you got that

your eye. I can always tell.

Get off my property.

What's going on over here?

That car you saw at the King Caves was in a wreck last night. And she's saying

it was our fault.

Our fault?

Come see for yourself.

I thought that car was safe.

We've been in this business over two years, and this is the first time this

ever happened. That you know of.

Are you saying there have been other accidents? I don't know.

And you really don't want to know either, do you? All you like to remember

their smiling faces when they drive off the lot. And what's wrong with that? I

tell people dreams.

Well, you say that.

So why don't you tell them real dreams instead of...

Phony fantasies.

You don't know me.

Go after her.

Get her on your side.

Dwight's side is the only side she knows. She'll do anything to protect

Well, that makes sense, doesn't it?

The only approval you ever got was from protecting your father.

Keeping him afloat.

Yeah.

Until he drowned himself in booze.

I couldn't save him.

Maybe you can still save yourself.

Truth is, I never was much good going at things alone.

how much you care about your business?

How you scraped and saved every penny to come up with the down payment? How you

poured your heart and soul to change that grease pit gas station into a place

you could be proud of?

You planning or trying to shut us down?

No. No, I don't want to shut you down.

I want you to clean up your act.

There's nothing wrong with my act.

Nothing. You satisfied?

He just had that look on his face.

What look?

The look.

You know, like a dog does after he's caught doing a bad thing on the carpet.

Just how well do you know my Dwight, Miss Luttrell?

What? You don't trust Dwight? Oh, I do. I trust Dwight. Well, honey, if you

trust him, that's all that matters.

Oh, you're slick.

Well, maybe we missed something.

Oh, no, no, honey. Give it up, give it up now. You say he's clean. He's clean.

A little reverse psychology.

Dangerously close to a lie.

It doesn't count if you lie to yourself.

What? I'm not lying. If Dwight left us something, I don't have a clue.

Well, think.

What is the one place that you'd never look?

Now I know you're crazy.

Looking for the truth in a urinal.

The muck has got to come out somewhere.

Boys will be boys.

Let me tell you, honey. Now, Miss June and Miss November, they all right, but

Miss July has got to go.

This proves it. Behind every sweet, sensitive man is a locker full of

And that's just the beginning.

What's this doing in here?

Oh, it's just extra storage, Nancy Drew.

Oh, no.

He's been fixing the cars with this sorry heap of recall junk.

No, Louise.

I'm sure Dwight's just fixing to take this stuff to the scrapyard.

Then what's he saving them for? Why is he hiding them in here in the one place

that you'd never look?

Oh, let's face it, honey. Now, you think that this is you and Dwight's dream

house, but you got a basement full of rats, and Dwight is leading the path.

You can kiss the good life goodbye. You stay out of this. This has nothing to do

with you.

I saw the books. It says there you will buy new parts.

Where did the rest of the money go, huh? You've been skimming money off the top.

Dwight, is she right?

You've been stealing from me.

No, darling.

It's true. I kept some things from you, but sometimes things are hard around

here. And if I got to cut corners to keep things going...

But I swear to you, I never put it in my pocket. I put it in our pocket.

Ooh, now you just putting poo -poo dust on her tail.

You know how you like things? All bright and shiny on the outside and that new

car smell on the inside, even if it means spraying it from a can.

Darcy, people do this kind of stuff all the time.

You defective partner. We got to undersell the competition. That's how we

survive. Mm -mm, that don't make it right.

Is this coming from Daddy's little con artist?

She never set out to hurt anybody.

Neither did I.

Come on, baby, let's go home.

Please. Home?

With him?

No, forget it, honey. You will never be made an honest woman by him.

Can't you see I just didn't want to spoil the magic so you could keep

dreams?

The thing that makes you so happy.

Oh, Dwight, it wasn't about the cars.

It's about you.

You made me happy.

Being here with you every day.

I'm here, baby.

Every day.

Oh, love is blind.

And deaf.

And dumb.

And I am afflicted with all three.

You should see.

The house looked like we opened a flower shop.

And people keep dropping off cards and teddy bears and casseroles.

They miss you and they love you and they're keeping you in their prayers.

I just want you to wake up.

You know, whenever you're ready.

If you can hear me.

Just wake up.

Now that's love.

Open, honest, unconditional.

And I swear to you, Smith, now, I may have embellished a little to

make a sale, but what he did with those defective parts?

That's where you draw the line.

Defective parts.

Are white lies better than lies?

Is borrowing without permission better than stealing?

Is it truth what each person makes of it, or is the truth just

the truth?

Truth is, I'm acting all high and mighty.

When you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas. Oh, and

Dwight and I are both big old dogs.

Darcy Green, you're a fast learner.

I'm impressed.

You should be proud of yourself.

I am.

But I've never felt lonely in my whole life.

Because I love that big old dog.

Then fight for him.

Why are you here?

To save your sorry hide.

How?

The hard way.

Wait, wait.

I'm Detective Briggs. This is Detective Porter.

I'm sure you were aware of last night's accident.

We'd like to have a look around.

I'd like to see a search warrant.

What's in here?

Nothing. Nothing except cut -rate reject parts.

Sir? Look, guys.

There's nothing in here.

You can unlock that door, or we can open it ourselves.

Why, just for your own good. You'll pay later.

Sorry, sir.

You received bad information.

Thank you for your time.

Oh, no, no, it wasn't him.

Maybe he helped carry the boxes.

Oh, it was Darcy who took care of you. Just like she took care of her daddy.

Time after time, close call after close call, till they finally caught up with

him. Just like they'll catch up with you.

Oh, you don't give up.

There's a girl lying in the hospital because of you. I want you to come see

Oh, no. We show up there apologizing, Darcy and I leave ourselves wide open

a lawsuit.

They'd sue the pants off us.

You live in pig slop long enough you stop smelling the stench.

What are you talking about?

Now, look. Now, I know how you and her grew up poor. Yeah, you were foolish and

naive. But you know better now. So, who are you now?

I'll tell you who you are. You're spoiled.

You think that the world owes you something and you owe nothing in return.

Listen, we are just trying to protect our dreams, okay?

We could lose everything.

The only thing that's at stake is your love.

Can you believe that woman?

Yes, I can Look Dwight.

I don't want to be the type of person who doesn't care And I don't want to be

with one either

You've got to find your faith, girl.

And something, something, something bigger than you.

Dwight White?

I don't want to be the type of person that doesn't care either.

And I don't want to be married to one either.

That was a proposal.

The coroner's did this to her.

You mind if we come in?

No, come in.

We just came to say we want to do what's right by you.

Yes.

You're not alone.

Thank you.

Well, at least I lived to see Dwight propose to me.

But my life's not worth living if Rebecca dies.

Are you saying you'd trade your life for hers?

The truth?

I would give anything if she would just wake up.

Your eyes were closed.

They sure were.

Let me see it, Harry.

I'm back?

What's going on with you?

Just a little day.

Yeah, I had that same look on my face when I said, I do.

You said, I do.

To me?

Am

I

dreaming, Smith?

This feels real.

You're not dreaming.

You're home.

And you're making dreams come true.

Selling cars again?

Not exactly.

You and Dwight, you started a foundation.

People donate unwanted cars.

You guys fix them up and sell them. And use the proceeds to help get poor

families transportation so they can work and take care of themselves.

It's all coming back to me now.

Dwight, this place.

What about Rebecca?

Rebecca!

Hey, you.

You got your wish.

We had it made for you.

It's just like mine. It is perfect!

It looks like I got a clean slate.

Clean slate is living life honestly.

This is your new life.

The only one you're going to remember.

Will I ever see you again?

Might catch a glimpse of me in your dreams.

Open it.

It's you and your daddy.

So you'll always remember where you came from.

And how far you've come.

Oh, you a good man.

Wait, wait.

Oh.

Oh!

Hey!

Who have I got a deal with you?

You give me that clucker of a car and I will give you a dream come true. All you

got to do is give. Did I tell you that the color of your eyes is clashing with

this car? You come on in here and I'll show you how to take this car and dump

in the car and turn it into somebody's dream. You can buy your dream car or

dream house, but when you wake up in the morning and the first face you see is

looking back at you with love, now that's a dream come true.

your world.

Take one divide by two.

If it was only up to you to change.
