NARRATOR: Once upon a time,
there was a beautiful widow

Lady who had three
clean living boys

And a devil-may-care brother.

[Cell door slam]

One day, the
beautiful widow lady,

Who had three clean living boys
and a devil-may-care brother,

Married a gentleman farmer.

And the gentleman farmer
had a sweet, pure daughter.

And that's the honest truth.

And they all lived
happily ever after.

And that, sad to say,
is a downright lie.

[Falling sound]

[Crash]

[Bubbles]

[MUSIC CHARLEY PRIDE, "ELLIE
MAY"]

Ellie May and Ellie may not.

But my that Ellie
makes my blood run hot.

That honey gold hair,
those emerald eyes...

That little girl look can't
hide the woman inside.

Does that innocent smile
mean she's ready for love

Or does she even know
that she's all grown up?

Ellie May and Ellie may not.

But my that Ellie
makes my blood run hot.

Ellie May and Ellie may not.

If I ever started
falling, I may never stop.

Ellie plays my heart
like a fine guitar.

If I were in her arms,
would she go that far.

Ellie May and Ellie may not.

But my that Ellie
makes my blood run hot.

Ellie May and Ellie may not.

If I ever started
falling, I may never stop.

[Camera shutter]

Ellie is like a picture.

She's worth a thousand words.

But does she see in me
what I'm seeing in her.

[Camera shutter]

But does she see in me
what I'm seeing in her.

Ellie May and Ellie may not.

My that Ellie makes
my blood run hot.

[Camera shutter]

Ellie May and Ellie may not.

[Slap]

If I ever started
falling, I may never stop.

[Music playing]

The way that Ellie moves
makes me stop and stare.

If my heart skipped a
beat, would she even care?

Ellie may and Ellie may not.

My that Ellie makes
my blood run hot.

Ellie May and Ellie may not.

If I ever started
falling, I may never stop.

[Crash]

[Music playing]

That honey gold hair,
those emerald eyes.

That little girl look can't
hide the woman inside.

Does that innocent smile
mean she's ready for love?

Or does she even know
that she's all grown up?

Ellie winds me up
if I come unwound.

Will she pick me up when
I come tumbling down?

Ellie May and Ellie may not.

But my that Ellie
makes my blood run hot.

Ellie May and Ellie may not.

If I ever start falling...

[Crying]

Now, Cora, calm down.

Oh, you don't love me.

I know that you don't love me.

Of course I love you.

Didn't I sell off six
acres and six cows just

To buy your pretty diamonds.

But I had such an
interesting life

Meeting all those new people
and selling subscriptions from

Door to door.

How about giving
fuzzy bear some honey?

No.

Not now unless you write a will.

But I ain't going to die.

Of course you're not, darling.

But accidents do happen.

And I would be left all
alone and taking care

Of Ellie and the boys
and keeping strangers

From stealing your property.

And how could I do that,
honey, unless everything

Was legal-like?

But...

Oh, come on, honey, you know
the bees are making honey.

[Laughing]

The honeycomb is
running over, I think.

Oh, then could I have some?

Oh, sure you can, as soon
as you write the will here.

But what do I say?

You say, "I Sidney
Jackson being of sound mind"

Do leave everything I own
to my wife, Cora Jackson."

[Gun shot]

[MUSIC CHARLEY PRIDE, "ELLIE
MAY"]

[Motorcycle]

How come you brought me out in
the middle of this cow pasture

To eat my food?

It's a picnic, honey.

[Gun shot]

Frank, you stop
that there shooting,

Or I'm going to bop you one.

BILLY: Smile, everybody.

[Camera shutter]

I like my vittles
hot off the stove.

Sidney, you just done
ruined the picture.

Get me out of this cow pasture.

Oh, now come on, honey,
look at all the fun little

Ellie is having over there.

You tell them boys of yours
to keep their hands off

Of my sugar baby.

They never done touched.

Give me the potato salad.

I don't like the
way they looking.

Sidney, that's just
brotherly affection.

Lust is what it is.

Sidney, you know,
you're just too

Overprotective of little Ellie.

It's not good for her.

She's going to have to grow up
some time and face the world.

Over my dead body.

Now, you can't keep Ellie
away from life forever.

I can damn well try.

I'm going to get
me another beer.

And you, lazy,
good-for-nothing...

When I married your sister, you
came to live with us providing

You helped with the chores.

But so far, you ain't
done a damn thing

But sit on your fat behind.

Hey, what do you mean my fat...

Now, come on, Sidney, don't
you go starting on my brother.

I ain't either fat.

And, I you know, he can't
help it he's got a bad heart.

Nobody with a bad heart
looks at my Ellie the way

He does and says those
nasty things too.

Hey, he's crazy.

I don't talk nasty.

I hope you don't say
those things to Ellie.

I sincerely hope not.

I don't...

[Giggling]

Oh.

The water felt so good I
wanted to tear my clothes off.

Now then, who's thinking
lustful thoughts now?

Hush up.

Ellie, honey, come
here to your papa.

Oh, hey, papa.

Ah, now honey, I know
that you're not used

To having other men around.

But it ain't your fault. But
with your ma dying when you

Were born and all...
Well, honey, there's

Certain ways a
girl your way acts

And a certain way
she doesn't act.

What do you mean, papa?

Well, look at yourself, child.

Look at your body.

Well, what's wrong with it?

Well, it's... it's, uh, uh...

Yes?

It... oh, nothing.

You're a pure girl.

And if any of these men folks
touch you, you tell me, here.

I guess I should have
married a long time ago.

But it weren't until
just last month

That Cora came to the door
selling her magazines.

And well, I finally
found me enough woman.

Hey, Ellie, why don't you come
for a ride on my motorcycle?

Oh, yes.

No you don't... ohh.

Oh, now, come on,
Sid, let the child

Have a little fun... 10 minutes.

Well...

10 minutes, papa.

Oh, I can't deny you anything.

All right, Tommy, you heard
what I said... just 10 minutes.

Yes, mama, 10 minutes.

[Motorcycle starts]

10 minutes.

Wee!

You wait and see.

I got a feeling I am going
to be out of this wheelchair

Before long.

Funny I've got exactly
the same feeling.

Yeah, love, that's
the medicine that'll

Get me back on my
feet again working

The farm like I used to.

Oh, you do say the sweetest
things to me, don't he brother?

Smile.

[Camera shutter]

Billy, Billy, put
that thing down.

Get of of the way.

You're blocking the view.

Yes, mom.

I can tell you've made a lot
of sacrifices in your lifetime.

I sure have, Syd.

I sure have... love.

Love's the reason we all
make sacrifices, ain't it?

Yeah.

(SINGING) Oh, Susanna,
don't you cry for me.

I come from Alabama
with a banjo on my knee.

Rained all night the day I
left, the weather was so dry.

The sun...

SIDNEY: What the hell?

Help!

Help!

Cora!

Help!

Cora!

Stop this.

Where's the brake?

Oh, no, god!

Oh, no, no!

Ahh!

[Splash]

[Ducks]

Help!

Ellie!

Help me!

That gosh darn
pond is too shallow.

Help!

All right, don't
you all sit there.

Go do something.

Oh, Cora, I can't...
Not a poor, helpless

Old man that can't even move.

My heart wouldn't stand it.

Oh, you and your silly heart.

Have some more chicken.

Billy!

Oh, ma, I had to
kill the last one.

All right, Frank.

Frank.

I killed the one before last.

Of all the shiftless,
no good... I just

Got to do everything myself.

[Music - "oh, susanna"]

[Bell ringing]

[Camera shutter]

[Music playing]

(SINGING) Life is
like a mountain railway

With an engineer that's brave.

You must make the world
successful from the cradle

To the grave.

Watch the curves, the
hills, and tunnels,

Never falter, don't ever fail.

Just keep your hands upon
the throttle and your eyes

Upon the rail.

Yee ha!

Music is such a comfort.

It surely is.

Dearly beloved, we are
gathered here this morning

Under his favorite tree where
he asked to spend his time

A waiting for judgement
to pay our last respects.

Sid... Jackson, who leaves
behind a whole lot of grieving

Folks... his bride, the
honeymoon hardly cold.

And all them fine sons
he got for himself,

But most especially
his grieving daughter,

Grieving because Sid
was taken from them

In the prime of his life.

Sid was good man.

MAN: Yes, he was.

A good man, I guess.

Lord yes.

Of course, lately, he'd been
keeping pretty much to himself

Out on that place of his.

So I couldn't say for sure.

But maybe Sid deserved
a better way to go.

WOMAN: For sure.

It reminds though that
accidents are waiting to take

Us when we least expect it.

You know, one minute
we're alive, happy,

Running and playing.

The next minute you
know some freak accident

That the good Lord
sees fit to provide

Descends upon us
like a freight train

Going downhill, running away
in the driving rainstorm

And drunken brakemen slipping
and sliding across the car

Tops... mercy, mercy.

Now, where was I?

Oh, it reminds us that
accidents are waiting to take

As when we least expect.

No, stop that.

MAN: What'd she say?

It wasn't no accident.

They killed him.

Now, Ellie, we've
been through all that.

They killed my father.

It was an accident.

No proof otherwise.

Proof?

What proof do you need
in that forged will?

Now, come on, Ellie,
you're just upset, honey.

Get your murdering
hands off of me.

There's nothing
wrong with that will.

But everything was left
to this strange woman.

That will is in your
pa's handwriting.

But Sheriff...

All legal.

It was all legal.

You ought to be
ashamed of yourself

Accusing such a handsome-looking
female lady you murdered.

Well, I thank you,
Sheriff, thank you.

May I say what a beautiful
widow you make today, Cora?

Why, Sheriff, ain't
that sweet of you.

Now, you apologize, Ellie.

I'd soon to die.

Now, Ellie, that's a
dangerous thing to be saying.

Hey!

Hey!

You stay away.

You crazy!

[Fighting sounds]

[Interposing voices]

Got her a good one.

Never in my days seen
fighting at a funeral.

[Interposing voices]

Oh, my heart.

My heart.

Hey, come here.

[Scream]

[Crash]

Hmm [chuckles]

You witch!

You little witch.

Wait till I get out of here.

I'll fix you.

Come on, get out of here.

I'm going to get you.

You little monster.

Come on.

Don't fool around.

Come on.

Get out of here.

Art, Art, where are you.

Art!

Art, get us out of here.

Come on, Art, you idiot.

Where are you?

Get us out of here.

It's always good to eat
something after a funeral.

Here, Billy.

Oh, that Ellie.

That Ellie... she's going to
be one sorry, little girl

When I get through with her.

Smile, mama.

Billy Bob, put down that thing.

But, mama, I wanted to
take a picture of your toes.

I told you put it down or
you're going to be a sorry.

Yes, mama.

May I say what a beautiful
widow you make today, Cora.

You stop that, Tommy.

Ain't that sweet, Sheriff?

The Sherrif's got the
hots for you, mama.

Yeah, mama.

Frank, stop that.

(SINGING) The Sheriff's
got the hots for mama.

The Sheriff's got
the hots for mama.

[Crash]

Get out of here
before I fix you good.

Your papa ain't around
anymore to keep the boys away.

You don't scare me.

None of you do.

I just thought you might like
to have some water in here.

Put it down and get out.

What you waiting for?

[Horse whinny]

I don't chew gum.

I hear you don't do
other things either.

I hear you never
done other things.

Is that true?

Get out.

I reckon you're like
this stick of gum.

Never been chewed.

I like to chew gum.

[Horse whinny]

I'd love to chew your gum.

You are filthy.

[Lamb bleats]

You still want to stay
out here with the animals.

It's better being with
those animals in the house.

Come on.

Why can't we be friends?

Don't you come near me.

So help me god, you'll have
more than a heart attack.

Come on, Ellie.

Ah ha ha.

[Lamb bleats]

You filthy pig.

Why would you say that?

I'm in good shape.

Women flip over me.

Pig.

Oh, oh, you boys
get out of here.

You're so heavy.

No, come back.

Come back.

I'm just teasing.

I'm teasing.

You know I love you all.

I'm so thankful for you.

You're all going to be a
comfort to me in my old age.

You're lucky to
have a hunk of man

Like me waste his time on you.

Let me go.

Now, come on.

Look how nice my teeth are.

And this is all
my own real hair.

[Lamb bleats]

The muscles in my arms
are as hard as rocks.

You don't feel my muscle?

[Kissing sounds]

Murderer.

Ow!

Ow!

That hurt.

You made me swallow
my Juicy Fruit.

[Splash]

I only wish your
father... I mean,

Your fathers were here to
help me with your upbringing.

But you know, boys, I do try.

I do try in my own
special way, I try.

You know that.

Why you didn't leave
anything for mama?

What happened to you, Art?

You been swimming?

I was out checking
on the chickens.

Since when did you get so
interested in wet chickens?

Not chickens,
mama... just a chick.

He's been out in the
barn with Ellie, Mama.

You shut your mouth or
I'll shove that damn camera

Down your throat.

Now, you stop that.

Looks like she spit
on you, Uncle Art.

Shutup.

Yes, sir, Uncle Art.

And stop that Uncle Art crap.

Maybe a real man needs to take
you outside and show you how.

You two stop this.

[Fighting sounds]

All right, now, you stop it.

Stop it!

OK.

OK, you boys go in the
living room and watch TV.

TOMMY: The TV is broke, mama.

Well, go watch each other.

Your mom's got
business with Art.

(SINGING) The Sheriff's
got the hots for mama.

The Sheriff's got
the hots for mama.

You be quiet, Billy.

[Crash]

Rather dear, you have to
remember that I'm supposed

To be a grieving widow.

Yeah, well, it
wouldn't hurt for you

To keep that Sheriff happy.

I don't need any
suggestions from you, honey.

And if you keep sniffing
around that little Ellie,

I know a Sheriff
in another state

That will be very
happy to find out who

Robbed a certain taco stand.

Can't we cut this
damn brother act now?

Of course not... not until I
collect and we get out of here.

I don't want the
people in town to think

That we was living in sin.

And then you sell
the place and yeah,

That was the plan wasn't it?

You let me make all
the arrangements.

You only think you're
thinking honey, anyway.

No, no.

No, my heart.

Not again.

Yeah, my medicine?

Oh, here.

Here's your heart medicine.

And I think you
ought to remember,

Art, who's paying for that
experience heart medicine.

And don't you think you ought
to show a little appreciation

Honey, huh?

[Mattress creaking]

[Horse sound]

[Music playing]

What you going
to do with those?

Ellie is like a
field of ripe wheat.

Field of ripe wheat?

First we're going
to harvest her.

And then we're going
to thrash her good.

[Music playing]

[Lamb bleats]

Got you a girlfriend,
little brother.

Five of them, papa.

Five of them that killed you so
that woman could take off all.

I liked her because you did.

But now I know the only
reason why she married you.

Well, I promise they
won't get away with it.

They'll all pay... all of them
no matter what I have to do.

If you look down and you
see me doing something

No nice girl should just
remember I have to act that way

In the name of justice.

My heart will remain pure.

Even my body is indecent.

[Pig sounds]

[Camera shutter]

What you doing, Billy?

What's it look like?

[Camera shutter]

Seems like a waste
of film when you

Could be taking a
picture of something

A whole lot more interesting.

Like what?

Well, now, don't I
make a prettier picture

Than that old pig.

You mean I can take
your picture like that.

Not if you don't hurry up.

[Camera shutter]

[Giggling]

Smile, girl.

Smile.

[Camera shutter]

[MUSIC CHARLEY
PRIDE, "PLAYING GAMES"

[OF LOVE"] You're
pretty as a picture...

A breeze on a summer day.

Maybe when you touch me,
it's more than words can say.

Well, let's just take it
easy and play a game or two.

The way you are playing with
my heart, I could fall for you.

Love games... just
playing games of love.

The two of us together
singing the song of love.

Love games... games
made just for two.

Maybe we're just playing games.

And I could fall for you.

All I want from you right
now is to have you near.

You've got me where you want me.

I hope you'll stay right here.

But if you laugh and run
away, I'll come a running too.

The way you're playing with my
heart, I could fall for you.

Love games, just
playing games of love.

The two of together
singing the song above.

Love games.

Games made just for two.

Maybe we're just playing games.

But I could fall for you.

Playing games together,
games made just for two.

The way you're playing with
my heart I could fall for you.

Love games, just
playing games of love.

The two of us together
singing the song of love.

Love games, games made
just for two... maybe

We're just playing games,
but I could fall for you.

Maybe we're just playing games,
but I could fall for you.

Maybe we're just playing games,
and I could fall for you.

Come on, Ellie, do it.

Oh, I just love the view
from here to this cliff.

Just one more, Ellie.

See how far from
nowhere we are?

Come on, Ellie, just
one more like I want.

Oh, and it's so far down.

Ellie, please.

One more and that's all?

I swear.

Well, how shall I pose?

You know.

I couldn't.

Not without my clothes.

Come on.

Just this one?

Well, only if you let me decide
where I want it to be taken.

Get right here.

And I'll get right here.

But Ellie.

Right here.

And I'll get right over here.

But Ellie, the light
ain't good that way.

But that's the way
I want it to be.

Ellie.

You want naked or not?

Sure I do.

Well, then just be quiet.

Now, can you see me?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Now, just let your dress down.

Oh, I don't know.

Come on.

I have never been naked
in front of nobody.

Well, turn around.

Hot dog.

But stand still.

Drop it.

Drop it.

No.

I can't.

I just can't.

But you promised.

Well, not unless
I know for sure.

What?

You did kill him, didn't you?

Oh, now, what do you want
to go and spoil things for?

But didn't you?

I am going home.

No, wait.

I only wanted to know
so I could thank you.

Thank me for killing your pa?

Yeah.

He's so mean and hateful to me.

Gee, I always thought
he sort of like you.

Well, see, he even fooled
a smart person like you.

Why you should have seen how he
beat me when nobody was around.

Right down here I
got a terrible scar.

Were you the brave one
who killed him, Billy?

Ellie.

Now, I'm going to
reward you if it was.

A really nice reward
if you did it.

No, no, I didn't.

Too bad.

But I killed the last one.

What?

I mean... The last one?

Well, never you mind
about the last one.

It was ma that fixed your pa.

But since I was there, it was
sort of like I helped kill him,

Ain't it?

Yes, Billy, it is.

Now, let's have my reward.

You take some pictures first.

Just a second.

Just a second.

Hurry.

Hold still, Ellie.

Hold still.

Can you see me?

Hold still, Ellie.

All of me?

Smile.

[Screaming]

[Crash]

[Music playing]

(SINGING) Life is

from the cradle to the grave.

Never falter, never fail.

Just keep your hand upon

Upon the rails.

Dearly beloved, we
are gathered here today

To pay our last respect
to the young man...

A young man who was plucked
from us in the flower of youth.

Plucked in the
flower of his youth.

Who leaves behind a whole
bunch of grieving people...

MAN: Oh, yes.

His ma...

WOMAN: Bless her.

His brothers...

WOMAN: Bless them.

PASTOR: And that new you
loving sister he got himself.

MAN: Is it over?

MAN: Oh, yes.

WOMAN: Heart breaking.

MAN: Yes, yes.

Now, listen, Sheriff, she
done killed my boy, Billy.

And you would know it
if you wasn't so stupid.

What I mean... what I
mean, Sheriff is it's as

Clear as the nose on your face.

Well, it's big, isn't it?

Now, listen to me,
Sheriff, you listen to me.

You know it.

I know it.

We both know it, honey.

She done murdered my boy, Billy.

Oh, that's some perfume
you're wearing, Cora.

Why don't you just go
out there and arrest her?

The smell makes my ears buzz.

Are you hearing anything
I'm saying, Sheriff?

I can't arrest her.

Why not?

Accident.

No evidence.

What no evidence?

She murdered Billy.

No more than you might
have murdered her pa.

What?

I got to tell you
what's inside me, Cora.

But, what you talking
about, Sheriff?

I've been coveting your flesh
ever since you married old Sid.

I'm burning up for you, Cora.

I know, I can feel it.

Sheriff, there's
people around here.

Hey, not now.

You're out of your
cotton-picking mind.

Oh, I want you, Cora.

I want you.
No!

[Gunshot]

[Gunshot]

Frank, you stop that.

[Gunshot]

Oh, you're cruel.

Oh, shut up and
get back in the barn

Before I shoot you instead.

[Gunshot]

Frank.

[Gunshot]

Oh, Frank.

Frank, look at me.

Ma says you're crazy.

And I ain't supposed
to go near you.

Where is your ma?

Why she'd beat me good
if I even talked to you.

Well, I always thought
you were the brave

One of the bunch shooting
your old, big gun like that.

But I see now you're
nothing but a scaredy cat.

I ain't scared of nothing.

Well, where is everybody, huh?

Art and Tom are playing pool.

And mama?

Went to get you arrested.

Oh, now didn't you want to
play pool or get me arrested.

[Gunshot]

Or did you just stayed
behind on purpose.

[Gunshot]

Is that why you're showing off
with your gun to impress me?

If I want to impress you, I
got a bigger gun than this.

[Gunshot]

Missed.

Your mind must be
on something else.

[Gunshot]

Oh, Frank, you
really are some shot.

You know I've always liked
you the best, don't you?

I ain't to go near you.

Well, I was only
complimenting you.

Can't you take a compliment?

Well, I guess I am pretty good.

There's something in the
barn that needs shooting.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Can you guess what it is?

Uh-uh.

It's furry and
nibbles and it bites.

Yeah?

Sheriff, you've lost your mind.

You've lost your mind.
Well-

- You're going crazy!
- I've got to go...

Sheriff, you've gone crazy!

You've gone crazy.

[Scream]

Sheriff!

Sheriff!

There's this big, furry rat
that comes around every night,

Nibbling and gnawing away.

I can hardly sleep.

I'll blow its brains out.

Up here.

I just saw him.

Careful.

There's a lot of rotten
boards around here.

[Crash]

[Music playing]

Ellie?

Ellie?

Where'd you go?

[Music playing]

[Horse whinny]

Ellie?

[Horse whinny]

Ellie?

[Pig sounds]

Woo hoo.

Oh, Ellie?

Woo hoo.

Woo hoo.

If you're that furry rat,
I'm going to splatter you.

Don't shoot.

Hi.

Yum!

[Chicken sounds]

I was just looking for
a needle in the haystack.

Would you settle for a nail?

That's awful.

Hey, can't catch me.

We'll see about that.

[Coo moos]

Stop right there.

[Gun cock]

[Cow moos]

Scared you, didn't I?

[Gunshot]

Here bully, bully.

Here bully, bully.

[Bull sounds]

Toro!

Toro!

[Bull sounds]

[Ole!]

Toro!

Toro!

[Bull sounds]

Come on.

[Scream]

Frank!

Frank!

Frank!

Frank!

Frank!

Frank!

Frank!

[Music playing]

(SINGING) Life is

successful from the cradle

To the grave.

Watch those hills,
curves, and tunnels.

Never falter, don't
you ever fail.

Keep your hand up on the
throttle and your eyes

Upon the rails... upon the rails.

Dearly beloved, we
are gathered here today

To pay our last respects
to a young man plucked

From us in the flower of youth.

Plucked in the
flower of his manhood.

He leaves behind
a whole lot of... he

Leaves behind a whole
lot of grieving folks...

His ma, his brother, and that
new, loving sister he got him.

Ashes to ashes...
Dust to dust... dust

Off... dust off the opportunity.

Something is going on here.

I don't know what it is.

But I don't like the
trend... mercy, mercy.

Now, listen, you, I
want you out of that barn

And off of my property.

Do you understand?

You couldn't keep
me if you wanted.

Cora, there is no
evidence to prove

That we're in an accident.

What evidence?

I caught her red-handed
and bare-assed.

Yeah, but she
explained all that.

It was an accident.

What accident?

That's silly.

Cora, don't be mad at me.

I can't help it if I got to
do my job the way I see it.

Justice is blind, you know?

And so are you.

I wouldn't mind picking up
where old Frank left off.

You and me both.

You know, the whole time
that preacher was talking,

I kind of felt he was marrying
up... he could have buried.

Sheriff, stop that.

Call me Pete.

You really think
she killed him?

It makes it all the more
interesting if she did.

You are driving me crazy.

You know, I can afford
a nice honeymoon.

I got a two-day, all-expense
trip to Las Vegas.

Concentrate.

Concentrate, Pete.

I would not marry you if you
was the last man on this earth.

You understand?

You're just saying that.

Arrgh.

What a woman.

Gave me flowers, too.

Kind of likes me, I think.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

I want to get home and
get myself in the hot tub

And think.

Think about what?

Think about what?

Think about how I'm
going to satisfy

This certain craving
I've got... craving

For a certain
young lady's blood.

Come on.

[Loon call]

[Sawing]

[Motorcycle]

Two down, papa... three to go.

[Motorcycle]

[Loon call]

[Music playing]

[MUSIC ATLANTA, "HONKY TONK
HEARTS"] Three fingers per day,

Taking it straight.

Chasing the memories,
easing the hate.

Searching the shadows
for someone to hold.

Fighting the lonelies
the only way they know.

A honky tonk heart.

A honky tonk night.

Looking for love in
those honky tonk eyes.

A honky tonk heart.

A honky tonk high.

Make me believe in
those honky tonk lies.

Short conversation
, a table for two.

A dance in the corner,
then they'll drink a few.

Promise forever, but
forever's not wrong.

It's always over with
the first light of dawn.

Honky tonk hearts, a honky
tonk nights, looking for love

In those honky tonk eyes.

A honky tonk hearts,
a honky tonk highs,

Make me believe in
those honky tonk lies.

[Cheers]

You got it.

Welcome to the show.

We're mighty proud to have one
of the finest, little groups

This side of the Trinity River.

How about a big Texas welcome
for the Trinity River Ramblers.

[Cheers]

[Music playing]

[MUSIC ATLANTA, "WISHFUL
DRINKIN"] Tonight I found

A bottle and climbed a tall
stool, trying to get me

High enough to get me over you.

Turning to the bottle
to turn my life around,

Searching for salvation
in each glass I put down.

Wishful drinking, facing
memories with the wine.

Wishful thinking,
thinking I'll wake up

And find that I
forgot what's missing

From these empty arms of mine.

Wishful drinking, ain't
going to change my mind.

Cora.

What?

Cora, Just a second... My heart.

Right now?

Well, I can't help it.

My medicine.

I've got to have my medicine.

Oh, for goodness sake.

What you going to do when
mama's not around anymore?

Are you just going
to drop over dead?

I swear you're worse than a kid.

Oh, stop joking.

Give me that new medicine.

All right, open your
mouth and hush up.

Come on.

And don't drop
that thing or we're

Both going to be in for it.

Do we have to
kill her like this?

Can't you think
of anything else?

After what you did to
my boys, you got no guts

And no brains and no heart.

You're what I call a
winning combination.

Come on!

Come on!

[MUSIC ATLANTA, "WISHFUL
DRINKIN"]

I've tried a thousand habits
in a thousand different ways.

Missing you is a habit my
heart can't seem to shake.

If loving you ain't nothing
but a pain in my past.

Why can't I find my freedom
from the bottom of this glass?

Wishful drinking, chasing
memories with the wine.

Wishful thinking...

Here's what you need.

I do believe that I'm getting
smashed, my dear... my dear.

Bonnie Jean, that's
some fast service, girl.

You got wheels on or what?

Bring him another
one when he finishes.

Ellie, are you sure?

You heard the lady.

It's all right, go on.

I'm a big boy.

Go on, girl.

You hear her.

It's OK.

All this booze you're buying
me, you wouldn't be trying

To get me into some condition
to take advantage of me,

Would you now?

That's a terrible thing to say.

I just wanted us
to make up, Tommy.

That's all.

I wanted us to be friends.

Friendly friends?

Give me another.

You got to be kidding.

He's already had eight.

That ain't none of my business.

I wouldn't want
you to think I was

Some kind of monster
just because of them

All, unavoidable accidents.

I'd never think that, Ellie.

I'd never think that.

Beep.

Bourbon and ginger ale...
Only hold the bourbon.

I tell you, it just
don't make any sense.

How come he does it?

Because he said to.

But it just don't
make any sense.

Hold the bourbon with this.

You see he whispered in my
ear some sort of little joke

He had.

[Inaudible] He turns
around and whispers to me...

Hold the bourbon.

So let's not ask
any more questions.

You sure you heard right?

Hold the bourbon.

And what are you worried about?

You get to make extra
money off all these drinks.

And you get to have fund
playing his little drunk joke.

I wonder who the joke
is going to be on.

God dawg.

Drink the rest.

[Screaming]

[Music playing]

CORA: Come on!

Come on!

Let's go.

Go faster, Tommy, go!

[Motorcycle]

Wee!

Oh, it's so much fun.

Oh, I love to.

Go!

Come on.

Go faster.

Come on.

Go faster.

It's so fun.

Where the devil are we?

My little secret place.

Not too many people
come around here.

Ain't it nice?

Ah, not as nice as you, girl.

I feel like going for a swim.

How about you?

To hell with a swim.

To hell with a swim.

I'm drowning.

I'm drowning.

Let me go.

Let go.

You promise you'd go for a swim.

Ahh.

Well, you know we
could... we could do

The breast stroke right here.

No.

Let me do it.

Let's go for a swim.

Come on.

No, not me.

Come on, please?

Nope, nope, nope.

Please.

Please.

Well, OK, you give me a little.

A little what?

Just kiss, kiss.

Kissing spreads germs.

Darling then you
just don't want

Me to go swimming bad enough.

Well, yes I do.

But one kiss.

And that's all, you hear?

[Kiss]

Whoa, no, no, no, no, no.

Now you do it like
you would my grandma.

But...

On the mouth.

You sure she lives
in this place.

Of course.

That's what I heard
her tell in town.

Come on.

Ow!

Ow, you bitch.

Come on.

Let's put it over there.

I don't want to mess with it.

Oh, for goodness sakes.

I'm going to fix that in
smarty pants once and for all.

Let that stupid Sheriff worry
about evidence because there's

Not going to be any evidence.

Dive for me, Tommy.

What?

Dive for me.

Dive?

ELLIE: Yes.

I don't even know if I
can swim, let alone dive.

Let me see you dive.

I don't know how.

I bet you could dive beautiful.

Why, you have such a nice
body... the nicest body

I've ever seen on a man.

How many you seen, little girl?

Dive off this little pier here
where they go fishing from.

Mhm.

Dive off the end... head first.

Head first.

Yeah, you sure it's
deep enough, now?

Why, of course it is.

Just look at the water marker.

Mhm.

Plenty deep for diving.

No.

I don't want to.

Please.

Ah, I don't...

Do it.

No, I don't really
think I want to.

Don't be chicken.

Chicken?

Do it.

Chicken?

Do it.

One condition...

Anything.

I want to see you go too.

Ah, yes.

I want to see you go first.

Well, I want to see you go.

Head first, Ellie.

You ain't drunk at all.

Mmm.

Ladies first, darling.

No.

Come on.

(FEMALE VOICE) It's
plenty deep for diving.

You're hurting me.

You betcha bitch.
Come on.

Dive.
No!

Please don't.

You thought I was dumb
like the others, didn't you?

You had it all
figured, didn't you.

I bet that water
ain't a foot deep.

Thought I'd dive off
here and crash my skull

And I'd be too drunk to notice.

Didn't you think that.

Kill me like I kill my brothers.

Is that it?

Is that it?

Well, honey.

By the time I finish
with you, you're going

To wish you was the dead one.

What are you going to do?

Now you open your
things to fate, bitch.

What are you going to do?

Because you ain't had a
man till you've had me.

No!
Oh!

Let go!

[Kick]

[Groaning]

Tom and Ellie?

Now, Bonnie, you
just wait a minute.

What do you mean Tom and Ellie?

When they was here.

They was here together?

That's what I just said.

They... they didn't
leave together.

You're not going to tell
me that they left together.

OK, I'm going to tell you.

Tell them.

They left together.

Oh, no, that means that they
probably went to her shack.

Oh, my god.

Come on.

You said you was going
to tell Tom all about.

When did I have time to do it?

He's [inaudible].

Come on.

What do you want to do?

Come on.

[Motorcycle]

No.

No.

No.

Go away.

Get out of here.

No.

Cora.

Cora.

Oh, shut up.

Ha!

Ha!

[Squealing tires]

Slow down!

Look out where you're going.

[Car horn]

No.

I didn't know, Tom.

Honest, I didn't.

Oh.

[Crash]

[Crying]

Come on.
Tommy's here.

Come on.

I can't.

My heart.

Screw your heart.

Come on.

Tommy.

You hear?

It's your ma.

TOM: So what?

She can watch.

No!

Stop!

Here comes the other one.

And here comes [inaudible].

No!

No!

No!

No!

Ellie.

Ellie.

Tommy!

Tom!

Ellie, tell me something.

I want you to tell me something.

Tell you what?

You have a pet lamb, don't you?

Yes.

And you have a...
You had a pet pig?

Yes.

And you have a pet snake?

Tommy are you in there?

You get out of
there, you hear me?

A pet snake?

Yeah.

Tommy!

Well, no.

That's what I was afraid of.

Cora, don't leave me.

Shit!

[Rattlesnake]

Dearly beloved, we
are gathered here today

To pay our last respects
to a young man plucked

From us in the flower of youth.

He leaves behind a whole
lot of grieving folk.

Ashes to ashes... dust
to dust... dost thou art

And dost though shalt return.

Maybe the last one.

We're running out of shovels.

That miss goody two shoes...
This time she's going to pay.

Yeah, well, how can you
blame Ellie for this one?

You put that poison
snake in her bed.

Oh, shut up.

Yeah.

I mean, that deadly
snake was your idea.

You killed poor Tommy
your own self, didn't you?

I did not.

I don't know how she did it.

But she figured it out some way.

And she's going to pay for it.

When we going to sell
this place and get out?

As soon as I get my revenge.

Cora.

Vengeance is mine.

Cora.

Cora.

Oh, I don't know.

I don't know.

Here. Scrub my foot.

Let me think and shut up.

You heard the Sheriff.

Any more accidents...
He's gone get suspicious.

Come on.

Let me think and scrub.

Come on.

Now, there can't be no more
dead bodies or we're in for it,

Even if he is your boyfriend.

My boyfriend...
That silly idiot.

I hate him.

Well, I got it.

I think I got it.

I know.

Here, turn on the water.

I'm getting cold.

[Water running]

Here's what we're going to do.

Now, listen.

[Music - "oh, susanna"]

[Music playing]

What's the idea of waking
me up before my nap.

You know I always
have to have this.

Shh.

Just look at this.

Now, I wasn't snooping.

But those pictures
just come back

From developing in the city.

Billy brought them in just
before he had that accident.

Oh, it's the picnic
pictures there

Of Sid, and Ellie, and Tom.

No, no.

Uh-uh.

See.

We were sitting on top
of Sid in the pond.

Billy took a picture of his
own ma doing in poor, old Sid.

Don't look like that to me.

But, Sheriff...

Your eyes are failing.

If you look...

You arguing with the law?

No, Sheriff.

No, no.

Let me have those things.

I'll take care of that.

Now, you just forget about it.

OK?

That will be $3.50.

Cora, how could you?

ELLIE: Hello, Sheriff.

Oh, hi, Ellie.

How are you?

I think you ought
to see these, Ellie.

I don't know.

Hey, Ellie.

What do you want?

What kind of stuff is it?

I don't know.

Cora just though
you'd probably want

To look over some of your pa's
stuff before the house is sold.

That's all I know.

Hello Ellie, dear.

Honey, why don't we
just stop all this?

Let bygones be bygones.

Look, just show me the stuff
that belongs to my papa.

And I will leave.

Art, you show Ellie up to
the attic where the stuff is.

I know my way.

All right, now,
when you're finished,

You bring that body down here.

Oh, Cora, I... I
don't know about this.

Oh, would you
rather that I called

The law and the next
day you told them who

Robbed that there taco stand?

[Cow moos]

Or would you rather,
Art, that I dumped you

Right now without
a penny with nobody

To buy you that expensive
heart medicine that you need.

Is that what you want?

Uh-uh.

Ah, you know, I could
have all those good times

Now with somebody else.

I mean, it's such a
shame now that we're

Going to be so filthy rich.

Oh, all right, I guess.

All right, come on, honey.

You got what you need?

Does it work?

[Click]

[Music playing]

[Creaking]

[Gasps] Art, you scared me.

What box was she talking about?

Art?

I think she meant that
wooden one right there.

This one?

I think so.

Art, will you
help me with this?

Now, don't make it
tough on me, Ellie.

My heart can't take the strain.

[Crash]

[Inaudible]

[Inaudible]

No!

Will you stop
screaming so I can...

No!

Wait, wait, wait.

What's wrong?

Can I say my prayers first?

What?

Just let me say
my prayers first.

Are you kidding?

Is that too much to ask for?

Oh, all right.

But make it quick.

Well, are you going to
say your prayers or not?

I'll be coming to
join you soon, papa.

But first I guess I'll forgive
that woman who killed you.

I guess it wasn't her fault.
She is so hard and mean.

The devil's in her.

You going to take all night?

Would you stop interrupting?

Sorry.

And Art here... I know
he don't mean to kill me.

He's just under her spell.

He's really such a nice person.

And I hope someday
his heart gets well

And he don't keep having
those terrible attacks that

Just might kill him any
moment from over-exertion.

They ain't going to work.

What?

You thought if you said
something nice about me,

I wouldn't kill you.

I ain't dumb enough to fall
for something like that.

Oh, wonderful... stop
the car, darling.

Oh, no.

Oh, it's perfect!

The house of my dreams.

Well, I always thought
you were real smart.

Besides if I don't do
it, you send me to jail.

Well, I wouldn't want to
be responsible for that.

Well, hurry up and finish then.

I don't guess I regret
leading this wicked, old earth.

It's been real lonely
since you went, papa.

But there is one thing I
do regret and that's having

To leave without ever having
been touched by a man,

If you know what I mean, papa.

[Rooster crow]

What a shame.

What a crying shame
to waste this body

That the Lord gave me, if you
don't mind me saying so, papa.

Is that the truth?

What?

What you just said... that
you never have been, well...

True all right.

Come on.

What about Billy, huh?

Frank?

Tom?

We caught you and Tom in the...

Nothing.

Aw.

I swear... I'm ready to
die... pure and untouched.

Go ahead.

What you waiting for?

Oh, look at all the...

One good wind
would blow it away.

That would be so good
for me to garden here.

Oh, sure, sure.

Oh, look at the...
Is that a windmill.

Yes, that's a windmill.

Look at the objects.

Oh, it's just great.

I don't suppose you'd let
me do you one last favor.

What kind of favor?

Send you to your
gave knowing that you

Ain't missed something.

You know what I mean?

Perfect.

Not really.

It is going to be perfect.

It is our own little haven.

I am not going to
wait any longer...

Oh, my god, you two.

You two get out of my house.

Well, that's awful
considerate of you.

But I don't want
to be no trouble.

No trouble.

Well, if we really don't mind.

[Glass breaking]

CORA: Get out of my house!

Sorry.

Now, let's see.

Garbage on the streets.

Is that any way to live?

Now, you people just get.

When there is garbage and
dog doo on the streets.

Uh, I can't talk
about that now.

Oh, when Wall and I saw the
for sale sign on the main road.

And we thought we would just
come in and take a look.

Yeah, well, you
look tomorrow, lady.

Oh, yeah, this just might
be the quaint, rural hideaway

We have been looking for to
save us from sordid city life.

Cities are a cesspool.

We'll talk about
this tomorrow, lady.

I'm tired of living
in a cesspool.

Oh, Wally, look
at that old chest.

[Music playing]

[Crash]

I haven't seen one
like that since...

Lady, this happens
to be my house.

Oh, was it in Aspen?

Or in Fire Island?

It was Fire Island.

Oh, no, I think
it was Aspen, dear.

That wasn't here, lady.

Fire Island, dear.

Aspen dearest.

Fire Island.

[Glass breaking]

That furniture at Fire
Island was French provincial.

What the hell are
you two talking about?

ART: Oh.

If you think your money
is any compensation

For a lack of chic.

Tacky taste is what
you have now and always

Have had and always will have.

Oh.

Is there an attic?

Uh, yes, but I
rent it out I rent

It out to a real noisy couple.

[Glass breaking]

They are newlyweds, you know?

[Crash]

[Glass breaking]

Oh, I understand.

Oh, this is savage,
middle American sex.

Oh, I want to see that.

No, you don't.

[Glass breaking]

I'll pay you money.

[Crash]

You know something?

You're crazy.

I want to see [inaudible].

What?

[Glassbreaking]

Oh, that tickles.

Stop.

Stop that.

[Crash]

I'll pay money.

You two get out of my...

Hey, you up there.

Woo hoo... I'll pay.

[Glass breaking]

Beatrice, your aberrations
are beginning to disgust me.

I want both of you
out of my house, quick.

[Crash]

At least I get mine
satisfied instead of hiding

Them like some people.

Lady, are you talking to me?

If you got half
the satisfaction...

Here.

I don't want your money.

I'll pull hair.

Oh!

[Crash]

Are you trying to embarrass me?

Wally, she's pulling my hair.

Darling, you're just
like your mother.

ELLIE: Come on, Art, come on.

You think I can
just leave with this?

Would you get out
of here, quick.

ELLIE: More Art, more.

[Crash]

I'd rather die in a cesspool
than a cultural swamp.

Well, then who's
keeping you here?

[Crash]

Oh.

Ellie.

[Crash]

Just exactly what
is going on here?

None of your business.

I shall [inaudible].

You sill bitch.

Oh, Ellie, my heart.

Oh!

Get away from there.

Get away from there.

[Crash]

Lady, you close that door.

[Short of breath]

Oh, Art, no.

No, no, no.

What a way to go.

[Crash]

No!

No!

Art!

Oh, oh, no.

My poor darling Art.

Oh, my poor Art.

All my chickadees are gone.

Oh.

Ooh.

Arrgh, you Jezebel.

You murderer!

I'm going to get you this time.

I'm going to kill you dead.

Oh, oh.

You murdering, little witch.

You're already dead.

Had to come to
country... so peaceful.

Oh, shut up.

CORA: You killer.

You can't kill all my
chickadees that way.

Come on you murdering hussy.

You ain't escaping me.

Where are you?

[Gunfire]

[Gunfire]

I'm going to kill you
miss goody two shoes.

I'm going to kill you
with Frankie's gun.

[Gunshot]

[Gunshot]

[Gunshot]

[Gunshot]

[Gunshot]

Where in the hell are you?

[Gun cock]

Oh, you, you're in the outhouse.

It's a fitting place
for you to die.

Here, this is for my Billy
boy, [gunshot] and one

For Frank, [gunshot]
and Tommy, [gunshot]

And here's another one for Art.

[Gunshot]

I've got you.

You little slut... I've got you.

Where are you?

Where are you?

You [screams].

[Crash]

Oh, I'll get you.

I'll get you.

I'm going to get you.

I ain't going to miss now.

I ain't going to be stopped.

You're dead like your papa.

[Screams]

Oh, no!

[Siren]

This time... this time, I ain't
going to quit you little hussy.

[Screams]

Get out of here
you raping Sheriff.

Drop it, Cora.

Gosh, took a whole
lot of courage

Doing what you did knowing how
you felt about Cora and all.

You could have just
destroyed that picture.

Ellie, I'm surprised
you'd think such a thing.

It never entered my mind.

Come on, Sheriff, you
going to take all night.

About Art...

Oh, I'll see that he really
gets a real proper funeral.

Yeah, no, that's
not what I meant.

Yes.

You know, the way he died.

Sheriff.

Pete, Pete, come on.

Let's get going.

Never mind, I better get going.

Cora is going to get mad at me.

Sheriff,

[Car horn]

You don't still feel
that way about Cora?

CORA: Sheriff, you're
going to take all night?

She is going to
jail, isn't she?

Yeah.

I might have to murder
somebody just to share a cell.

All kinds of justice,
papa... all kinds.

Sheriff.

SHERIFF: Yeah?

[Car horn]

I think I've got an
answer to your problem.

[Music playing]

Dearly beloved, we
are gathered here

Today to join this lovely couple
in the bonds of holy matrimony.

Now, we all know there's
been a lot of misery

In Cora's life lately.

But we're happy.

And I might say we're surprised.

She is going to start
afresh with another husband.

Just remember who has that
picture so you better make him

A real good wife if you don't
want to wind up in jail.

OK, papa.

[Music playing]

[MUSIC CHARLEY PRIDE, "ALWAYS A
HAPPY ENDING"] There's always

A silver lining
behind the darkest

Cloud And after the storm
is over, the sun comes out.

There's always another morning
to chase away the night.

And sometimes when things go
wrong, they turn out right.

There's always a happy ending.

It's like a nursery rhyme.

There's always a
happy ending sometimes

Life just takes its time.

SHERIFF: We're going to go
down to the Holiday Inn.

We're going to have a
lot of fun down there.

CORA: Tonight?

I thought you said you were
going to take me to Las Vegas.

SHERIFF: Well, I had
to sell the tickets.

And I couldn't afford.

It was too expensive.

So I had to save some money.

I got us a room in Amarillo.

It's just a two hour drive.

CORA: Arrgh.

SHERIFF: It's a nice place.

I got to change the
sheets every night.

Now, I got an ice machine.

And they don't charge
anything for the ice

Or anything like that.

[MUSIC CHARLEY PRIDE,
"ALWAYS A HAPPY

[ENDING"] There's always another
rainbow after every rain.

There's someone you can
lean on to ease the strain.

There's always a new
beginning when you

Think you've reached the end.

Another tomorrow's waiting
just around the bend.

There's always a happy ending
just like a nursery rhyme.

There's always a
happy ending sometimes

Life just takes its time.

There's always a happy ending
just like a nursery rhyme.
