[MUSIC PLAYING]

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, l 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]

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]

(SINGING) Life is like a mountain railway

with an engineer that's brave.

You must make each run 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.
