J“ how come you treat me like
a worn-out shoe? J“

j“ my hair's still curly
and my eyes are still blue j“

j“ why don't you love me
like you used to do? J“

j“ ain't had no lovin'
like a-huggin' and a-kissin' j“

j“ in a long, long while j“

j“ we don't get nearer or further
or closer than a country mile j“

j“ why don't you spark me
like you used to do? J“

j“ and say sweet nothings
like you used to coo j“

J“ well, why don't you be
just like you used to be? J“

J“ why don't you love me
like you used to do? J“j“

Dj: President Truman
will be here tomorrow,

so all you folks in Dallas turn out.

This is cowboy rhythms on ktrn,
Wichita falls.

Here's Hank Williams' big hit tune,
"cold, cold heart."

J“ I tried so hard, my dear, to show j“

you ain't ever gonna
amount to nothing.

Already spent a dime this morning,
ain't even had a decent breakfast.

Give me the chalk.

Why don't you comb your hair, Sonny?

It sticks up.
Look like you smelled a wolf.

J“ so far apart j“

j“ why can't I free your doubtful mind j“

I'm surprised you had the nerve to show up

after that stomping
you all took last night.

- Well, could've been worse.
- What'd you say?

- Could've been worse.
- Yeah.

You can say that
about nearly everything, I guess.

A few football teams have had
some luck with tackling.

Keeps the other team
from scoring quite so often.

Sounds too rough for me.

J“ that make the teardrops start j“

j“ why can't I free your doubtful mind j“

Sam: You don't even care
if it was your last game.

You ain't ever gonna get stomped for
your own high-school ball team again.

- Where's your school spirit?
- Don't know.

J“ you'll never know
how much it hurts j“

Sam: You working today?

Sonny: The truck's being greased.
Sam: Mm.

J“ you know you need
and want my love j“

j“ yet you're afraid to try j“

j“ why do you run and hide from life?
To try, it just ain't smart j“

j“ why can't I free your doubtful mind j“

so, you see, this is what I get for
betting on my own hometown ball team.

I ought to have better sense.

Wouldn't hurt if you had
a better hometown.

You mind pointing that
at the floor till I get by?

I don't want my eye poked out.

J“ but now I know
your heart is shackled j“

don't let Billy get too far away,
will you, son?

You're damn more dangerous in a pool
hall than you are on a football field.

J“ the more we drift apart j“

hey.

You ever heard of tackling?

J“ why can't I free your doubtful mind j“

j“ and melt your cold, cold heart? J“j“

Sonny: Hey, Duane!

Boy, I froze my ass last night!

Hey, why the hell
can't you kids learn to tackle?

Hey, how about taking Genevieve some
change, being as you're going that way?

Toss me one!

Pick up the ball, Crawford.

Look, Larry, they can catch.

Feisty sons of bitches, aren't they?
Wish they could tackle.

Or do something useful.

Team wasn't worth
a kiss-my-ass this year.

Sonny: Hey, hup. Duane: Hup.

Fade out, Crawford. One more time.
Woo-wee!

All right, you boys. Cut it out.

I got enough problems without you
playing that game over again.

We could've run off
to Mexico with this, you know.

- Hey, play the new one we heard.
- Which one?

Down payment on breakfast.

Let somebody prosperous play
the jukebox.

- Nobody prosperous would eat here.
- Ha-ha-ha.

- Well, I ain't very hungry.
- Well, I am.

- You want the pickup first tonight?
- Nah.

I oughtn't get it first every Saturday.
It's half yours.

- Go ahead.
- You sure?

Sure, I'm sure. Anyways, I got lots
of deliveries to make.

- And I have to go clear to ranger.
- Okay.

I'll be lucky to get back
for the second show.

J“ one for every time
you broke my heart j“j“

J“ 80 if you wanna have fun
come along with me j“

j“ say hey, good-iookin' j“

j“ what you got cookin'? J“

j“ how's about cookin'
somethin' up with me? J“j“

My goodness, Sonny.

Frank oughtn't work you so late
on weekends.

That's what I keep telling him.

You ain't got in in time
to see the comedy in three weeks.

Hope you don't want popcorn,
because there ain't none.

And you missed the newsreel too.

The main show's done started,
so I'll just charge you 30 cents.

Thanks, miss mosey.

Man: I was wondering if my daughter
had deserted us too

when I heard her voice.

Pa! Pa! Hi, pa.

Stanley:
Kay was our only daughter.

I know a father's not supposed
to have favorites, but when it's Kay...

Stanley: Mm, you smell good.
Kay: You like it?

Stanley: Mm-hm.

Stanley: What's that?
Kay: An atomizer.

Stanley: What'd you get? A present?
Kay: Mm-hm.

Stanley: Who from?

Kay: Oh... somebody.

I decided you had a wreck.

Stanley: What's happened to you?
You look different.

Kay: I do? Stanley: Yeah.

You look all lit up inside.

You're not wearing
your usual deadpan look.

That "how'd I ever get
into this family?" Look.

Kay: Father.

Stanley: You've been taking those
vitamins Dr. Gray sent you.

Kay: That's right.

Stanley: I guess I'll get me
some of those vitamins.

Kay: I I! Get it, Delilah.

Stanley: What's the matter with her?
She looks kind of queer.

- Guess what.
- What?

- It's our anniversary.
- What?

We've been going steady
a year tonight.

Yeah?

Seems like a lot longer.

Charlene: You should've got me
some anniversary present.

Sonny: You can have another
stick of gum. That's all I got on me.

Charlene:
You can give me a dollar too.

That's how much it cost me
and Marlene for the show.

Hi. What are y'all doing
back here in the dark?

Kay: He's coming in a few minutes.
Ellie: I'll get your coffee.

Stanley: Where'd the boys go?
Ellie: Ben had some date.

Tommy went for basketball practice.

- Oh, Delilah, will you bring the coffee?
- Delilah: Yes, Mrs. Banks.

I don't see why they should get
the pickup first all the time.

All they ever wanna do is neck anyway.

Kay: Buckley says that's not too young
for them to marry.

Stanley: I didn't marry
your mother till I was 25.

Kay: Oh, I know, pop.

- Need some help, Jessie?
- Yeah, sure do.

- So long, Sam.
- Bye, Sam.

- Come on.
- Good night.

- Good night. Sure did like the picture.
- Well, good.

- Good night.
- Good night.

J“ Rose, Rose, [love you
with your almond eyes j“j“

Crack your window.
Leave the motor running.

It's just too cold in here.

J“ I guess I'll have to
learn to be a slowpoke too j“

dj: Pee wee king's "slow poke,"
number two on the national charts.

Your hands are like ice!

Put on my gloves.

J“ send me your spoon
and your napkin j“

j“ send me your coffee cup too j“j“

what's the matter with you?
You act plain bored.

Quit! Quit!

You said this was our anniversary.

Let's do something different.

Well, I like that! You cheapskate.

Didn't even get me a present,
and now you wanna get me pregnant.

My god, charlene!
It was just my hand.

Yeah. One thing leads to another.

My mama told me
how that old stuff goes.

We'll have plenty of time for that
when we get married.

You wasn't no livelier than me.

Because you ain't good-looking enough.
You ain't even got a ducktail.

Well, anyway, I'm done late.

Let's go on home.

Some anniversary.

If that's the way you feel about it,
I'd just as soon break up, charlene.

I don't wanna spoil
no more anniversaries for you.

That's the way
nice girls get treated in this town!

I might've known
you wasn't dependable.

You wasn't even in the backfield either.

This jacket's got a hole in the pocket,
but don't ask me to sew it for you.

You can give me back my pictures too.

I don't want you showing all
the other boys and telling how hot I am.

You wasn't very hot.

I hope you ain't down
in the mouth about charlene.

- I ain't blue about her.
- What are you blue about, then?

Ain't nobody to go with in this town.

Jacy's the only pretty girl in school
and Duane's got her.

I'd call that his tough luck.

You don't have to eat so fast.
You ain't in a race.

Jacy will bring you more misery
than she'll ever be worth.

Did your dad give you this?

He needs all he's got.

Wouldn't hurt you to take something
from him once in a while.

I don't know. You and Duane
both in a boarding house.

Him with the mother, and you
with the father. Don't seem right.

And your dad's taking
too many pills, you know.

But I'm no one to talk.

I never did get on with mama.
I still don't.

Say, I hear Dan's going back
to work soon.

- I guess you'll be quitting before long.
- Honey,

we got 4000 dollars' worth
of doctor bills to pay.

I will probably be making
cheeseburgers for your grandkids.

Look at it.
Your little ducktail over here.

Well...

I wonder what my chances are,
this morning,

of interesting you kids in John keats.

None at all.

Joe Bob?

I read that poem of his
about the nightingale.

I didn't think it was so good.

Sounded like he wanted
to be a nightingale.

I don't think he wanted
to be a nightingale, Joe Bob.

Maybe he just wanted to be immortal.

Joe Bob: All you have to do to be
immortal is lead a good Christian life.

Anyone can do it if they love the lord.

Teacher:
Well, maybe so, Joe Bob, maybe so.

Here now, let me...
Let me read you this.

"When old age shall
this generation waste,

thou shalt remain
in midst of other woe than ours

a friend to man,
to whom thou say'st:

'Beauty is truth, truth beauty'...

That is all ye know on earth

and all ye need to know."

Run, you little pissants, run!

Tough it out! Tough it out!
You gotta be men like the rest of us.

Ain't none of you pretty enough
to be women.

Here, Joe Bob.

Quit flapping your arms.
You look like a goddamn goose.

Even for a preacher's boy,
you ought to be in better shape.

What kind of female
are you ever gonna get?

Tough it out! Tough it out!

Run, you little pissants.

All right, off the court.

If you all didn't Jack off so damn much,
maybe you could stay in shape.

Come here a minute, Sonny.

Now, you do me a favor,
and I'll do you one.

Sure, coach.

My old lady's got to go
to the doctor tomorrow.

You know women.
Always something wrong.

Yeah, I guess.

Well, take it from me. Anyway,
I haven't got have time to drive her.

Now, if you'll do this for me,
I'll get you out of civics class.

Heh. I'll be glad to.
That's the best offer I've had all day.

You tell her you got to get back
for practice

so she won't stay in there too long.

I've got enough bills to pay already.

"Know the trouble with you?

You ain't got no school spirit."

J“ anarene high school, we love you j“

j“ love you ever so grand j“

j“ we will always be so loyal j“

j“ loyal to a man j“

j“ anarene, defeat or victory j“

j“ we will always be true j“

j“ anarene high school, we love you j“

j“ and we'll fight for you j“j“

J“ pardon me if I'm sentimental j“

you need a haircut.

J“ when we say goodbye j“

j“ don't be angry j“

boy: Hey, come on, jimmie sue.
We're hungry over here too.

Jimmie sue: I'm coming. I'm coming.
Hold your horses!

J“ when you're gone, yet I'll dream
a little dream j“

uh-oh. Better watch it.
Here comes your mama.

J“ now and then j“

j“ there's a fool such as ij“

j“ now and then j“

jacy, we're having supper
at home tonight.

I expect you there in 15 minutes,
you hear?

Okay, mama.
I was just giving the boys a ride.

J“ and now you say
that we are through j“

j“ I'm a fool, but I'll love you, dearj“

j“ until the day I die j“

j“ now and then
there's a fool j“

j“ such as ij“j“

now here's a tune that's been
on the pop hit list for some weeks.

Listen and tell us the name.

J“ are a-comin'
their sails are in sight j“

what is it?

What is it, huh?

Boy: "Shrimp boats."
Man: "Shrimp boats. "You got it!

Very good, Thomas.
You were in on that too.

All right. There's $120.
We 're going along fine.

Now we come to city limits. This is...

J“ why can't I free your doubtful mind j“

j“ and melt your cold, cold heart? J“

guess you hate me tonight, huh?

Oh, mama, I love you, but I love
Duane too. Even if you don't like it.

I don't care. I'd just hate
to see you marry him, that's all.

You wouldn't be rich anymore.

- I don't care about money. Not at all.
- In two months, he'll stop flattering you.

You're pretty stupid, then.

You married daddy when he was poor,
and he got rich, didn't he?

Scared your daddy
into getting rich, beautiful.

If daddy could do it,
Duane could too.

Not married to you.
You're not scary enough.

Well, you're rich and miserable.
I sure don't wanna be like you.

Not much danger of that.

- You slept with him?
- Mama!

Go to the doctor sometime
and arrange something

so you don't have to worry
about babies. You have to be careful.

But it's a sin unless you're married.
You know I wouldn't do that.

Ugh. Don't be so mealy-mouthed!

I thought if you slept with him,

you might find out that there isn't
anything magic about him.

Then we can send you away
to a good school...

- But I don't wanna leave.
- Marry some wealthy boy.

Why can't I stay here and go
to college in Wichita falls?

Because.

Everything is flat and empty here.

And nothing to do!

Can I have some of that?

Help yourself. Don't you have any?

Well, yeah, but I feel like
smelling good right now.

Don't you ever feel like
doing anything right now?

J“ the more ilearn to care for you j“

you ought to leave your face
just like that.

All you really need now is
a little eyebrow pencil.

J“ why can't I free your doubtful mind j“

j“ and melt your cold, cold heart? J“j“

okay. Good night.

Just remember, beautiful, everything
gets old if you do it often enough.

So if you wanna find out about
monotony real quick, marry Duane.

Dj: Number one hit in the country
right here on ktrn,

your mutual station in Wichita falls.

Our old friend,
Hank Williams, wrote that.

Announcer: You're with us on strike
it rich and the audience with a heart.

Say, if you like being with our audience,
we 're on television every day.

That's right. Every day, Monday through
Friday, at 11:30 am. New York time.

Also, every morning,
Monday through Friday, we 're on radio.

Look at your paper
for time and station.

And every Wednesday night at 9:00
right back here on television again.

The colgate-palmolive-peet company
invite you to write us for tickets.

All you have to do is write
to strike it rich,

box 500, grand central annex...

Abilene: Hello.

- Abilene, you asleep?
- No.

Feel like company?

Well, I thought I'd drive out,
see how my well is coming.

Drill hard. You're better
at oil Wells anyway.

Announcer: Before we continue,
I'll remind you to look

for one of your favorite programs.
I know it's one of mine.

The whole family always watches
the colgate comedy hour.

Oh. Hello, Sonny. What you want?

Uh... coach said you need a driver.

Didn't he tell you I was coming?

No, he didn't mention it. I thought
he was gonna drive me himself.

I guess he just couldn't get off.

Let me just get the radio.

J“ eight o'clock, 9:00, quarter to 10 j“

j“ why should I linger
every time you snap your finger j“

j“ little slow poke? J“j“

Is it something bad?

It's something very...

Thank you.

Here's the keys.

I guess I'd better
be getting back to school.

It was nice of you to drive me.

Well, it beats sitting
through civics, ma'am.

Wouldn't you like to come in
and have a soda?

If you can stand me
for a few more minutes.

Okay.

I hate these northers.

Would you prefer milk?
Just sit at the table.

Or you can go right now if you want.

I was just scared to be alone for
a minute. I'm sorry I made you come in.

I'll take a Dr. Pepper.

You'll never forgive me, I know.

Go on. You don't have
to stay any longer.

Thank you for the Dr. Pepper.

I guess you'll be glad
when basketball season's over.

Why?

Well, coach probably don't get
to stay home much

during football and basketball season.

My god, you don't know
a thing about it, do you?

You better go on to basketball practice.

Thanks for the Dr. Pepper.

- Hi, jacy.
- Oh, hi.

- Duane coming?
- Mm.

Say, you know Bobby sheen,
don't you? Over at Wichita falls?

I met him at the country club.

Well, he's gonna have
this midnight swimming party tonight.

- You wanna run over there with me?
- I can't.

I guess you heard about the last one.

His folks were gone to Miami,
and everybody swam naked.

His folks are gone again,
so it'll probably be pretty wild.

Sure wish you could come.
Bobby has great parties.

A lot of kids from the club
gonna be there.

Gee, Lester, I'd like to go.

I'm gonna have a big problem
with Duane, though.

Well, don't go off without me.
Maybe I can.

- Hi, Duane.
- What did Lester want?

Oh, Lester. He's such a bore.

Man: Hey, abilene!
Abilene: What do you say, buddy?

Hey there. Hi.

Merry Christmas.

This is Jackie Lee French.
This is Lois farrow, my boss's wife.

What do you mean,
kissing her like that?

I ought to slap your face!

Well, why don't you just kiss my ass?

I never come here to referee no fight.

- Well, good, then come dance with me.
- Uh...

Get yourself a drink, honey.
I'll be back.

Hi, Ruth.

Wait for me outside.

A thousand barrels of oil a day.

A thousand barrels.

It's too hot in here. Let's go outside.

I don't want drunks
tromping on my feet.

I got something to give you anyway.

Duane: Hey, Sonny.
Jacy: Hey, Sonny.

Sonny:

Hi, Sonny.

Hi, dad.

How you doing?

Okay.

Well, that's good.

See you.

Sure.

- You mean, my Christmas present.
- Yep.

I haven't had time
to get you anything yet.

I haven't had a minute to shop.

Hope you like it.
I saved up for six months to get it.

Jacy: Oh, it's just beautiful.

It's just what I've been wanting.

You're so sweet,
spending all that money on me.

Oh, you're so sexy, Duane.

I just wish I didn't have
to leave you tonight.

Well, you don't.

Oh, I do too.
I could just kill my mother!

What do you mean?

She made me promise to go to a swim
party in Wichita with Lester Marlow.

Because his folks are rich.
Don't be mad.

I ain't mad at you, but goddamn it!

It's all Lester's fault.
He keeps asking mama.

All I wanna do is stay with
the man I love.

Goddamn.

No, no, Duane! I gotta go. I gotta go.

What do you mean,
asking my girl for a date?

- You turn me loose!
- I will when you're ready to fight.

Let's have it out!

Come on, Marlow.

Here, knock off that shit, boys.
This is the Christmas season.

Run along here, Wichita.

I can't stand here all night
protecting your shoeshine.

I just don't know what I'm gonna do
about him. He's so crazy about me.

Nothing against Duane,
but that's a roughneck for you.

They aren't sophisticated
about these things.

Well, merry Christmas!

Come on in,
let's have some punch, boy.

- Hi, Sonny.
- Oh, hi.

- Wanna help me?
- Okay.

You're not dancing.
Don't you have a girlfriend?

I did have.
We broke up a couple months ago.

Oh, why? Mind my asking?

I was going with charlene duggs.

She thought I got fresh with her.
I never did, really.

I guess we broke up because we didn't
like each other much to begin with.

Ruth:
I hope you're not sad about it.

I don't think
charlene's near nice enough for you.

I didn't see you dancing.

No, I don't dance much.

Will you drive me
to the clinic again next week?

Well, you bet.

We better not dawdle here.

J“ oh, get out of here with that: J“

J“ and don't come back no more
oh, get out of here with that: J“

Bobby.

Hey, look! New victims!

-Hi, jacy.

Glad you could make it.
We're dressed informally.

Hi, jacy.

Bobby: You know Annie-Annie.

Wanna join the club?

Sure.

Well, you gotta get undressed
out there on the diving board.

Bobby:
So everybody gets to watch.

We all do it the first time.

- That's the rule.
- Yeah. I did it last easter.

- Annie-Annie: Okay?
- Okay.

Everybody out for the strip show!

J“ the moral of this story is
if you're out on the beach j“

j“ and you should see a great big box
and it's within your reach j“

j“ don't ever stop and open it up
that's my advice to you j“j“

Don't pay any attention to Sandy.
He's my little brother.

If he gooses you or anything,
I'll make him go to bed.

Goodness!
I hope I don't fall off this thing.

Sandy can fish you out if you do.

J“ Rose, Rose, llove you
with an aching heart j“

j“ lonely is your future
now we have to part j“

j“ standing on the jetty
as the steamer moves away j“

j“ flower of Malaya
I cannot stay j“j“

Duane, been looking for you.
Hey, where's jacy?

Oh, don't remind him.
We just got him quiet. Want a drink?

- Where'd you get it?
- Found it in a guy's car.

- When he weren't looking.
- Let's do something.

Good idea. Why don't
we hunt up some pussy?

Oh, you wouldn't know
what to do with it if we found some.

What happened?

Lester took his girl
to a swimming party.

Let's all go out and get a fuck.

I know where's a heifer.
It belongs to my uncle Hank.

Why the hell not?

- I say a heifer beats nothing.
- Pussy's pussy!

I don't want no heifer.

We ought to buy Billy a piece of ass.

- Yeah, we oughtn't let him die a virgin.
- Yeah.

Mama says idiot kids don't live long.

He ain't no idiot kid. He just don't talk.

Bet he's still a virgin, though.

Hey, we ought to fix him up
with jimmie sue.

It'd make no difference to Billy.

Look, we shouldn't try
anything like that.

Why not? It wouldn't cost us
more than $1.50.

If that's all,
we ought to get her ourselves.

Shit! A heifer's better than jimmie sue.

Get the stupid little thing in here.
I ain't got all night.

Let's get those pants off, boys. Whoo!

You won't be a virgin much longer.

Duane: Come on, Billy,
we're gonna get you laid.

Grab on now. Come on, do your job.

Leroy: Get her, Billy-boy!

Jimmie sue:
This is the dumbest thing I ever seen!

He don't even know what to do!

Chester:
Come on. It worked for me.

Damn it, put it to her, boy!

- Get her, Billy.
- Come on, Billy. Screw it to her, boy.

You stop that yelling out there.

It ain't even in!

Goddamn!

Goddamn, you stupid little thing!

Couldn't even wait. Look at this mess!

You okay, Billy?

You all right?

Well, now I know.
Idiots as bad as Mexicans.

Don't bother me no more
for that crazy thing.

Wouldn't mess with him again
for less than three and a half.

Which one of you bloodied his nose?

I've told you all not to fight with Billy.
He don't understand about fighting.

What happened, Sonny?

- It weren't none of us, Sam.
- No, it was jimmie sue.

Jimmie sue?
How'd he get messed up with her?

We bought him a piece of ass.
Thought he was tired of being a virgin.

She got mad about something
and bloodied his nose.

You boys get on out of here.

I don't wanna have no more
to do with you.

Scaring a poor,
unfortunate creature like Billy

just so you could have a few laughs.

I've been around
that trashy behavior all my life.

I'm getting tired of putting up with it.

You can stay out
of this pool hall, my cafe,

and my picture show too.

I don't want no more of your business.

We didn't mean for anything bad
to happen, Sam. We...

You didn't even have the decency
to wash his face.

We're his best customers.
He can't run us off.

Lucky I fell asleep. I'd hate
not being able to shoot no pool.

You sure he won't come?

You know he won't.
He's just starting basketball practice.

It's all right.

I'm sorry I cried.

Just scared, I guess.

He ain't gonna come.

They're probably running plays
right now, I bet.

No, not scared of that.

Scared I could never do this, I guess.

Can't seem to do anything
without crying about it.

How could you like me?

I like you.

I'm glad.

J“ but she just wouldn't stay j“

j“ so now that she is
a-ieavin' j“

j“ this is all I can say j“

j“ I got a feeling called the blues j“

j“ oh, lord
since my baby said goodbye j“

j“ lord, I don't know what I'll do j“

j“ all I do is set and sigh
oh, lord j“

j“ that last long day
she said goodbye j“

j“ well, lord, I thought I would cry j“

j“ she'd do me, she'd do you
she's got that kind of lovin' j“

j“ lord, I love to hear her
when she calls me sweet daddy j“j“

j“ so I wrote it in the words
of this song j“

j“ I didn't know god made j“

j“ honky-tonk angels j“

j“ I might have known
you'd never make a wife j“

j“ you gave up the only one j“

j“ that ever loved you j“

j“ and went back to j“

j“ the wild side of life j“j“

Come on in.
I ain't gonna throw bottles at you.

What have you been doing?
You lost weight.

Ain't had any
of your cheeseburgers in weeks.

Come on. I'll fix you one.

Even though that wasn't
a very nice thing y'all done to Billy.

Can't blame Sam.

- Was that your idea?
- No.

-Duanes? —huh?

He was there, wasn't he?

Just didn't have the decency
to own up to it.

Don't worry, I won't tell on him.
I should, though.

Sure smells good.

One thing I know for sure.

A person can't sneeze in this town

without somebody offering a handkerchief.

- What you mean?
- Nothing.

It's an awful small town
for any kind of carrying on.

Don't forget to put some onions on.

And some people got a lot of guns.

All right, you don't need
my advice anyway.

Why don't you go play a record?
These will be done in a minute.

J“ kaw—liga was a wooden Indian
standin' by the door j“

j“ he fell in love with an Indian maid
over in the antique store j“

j“ kaw—liga j“

j“just stood there
and never let it show j“

just come in to say hello to Genevieve.

J“ so she could never answer
yes or no j“

Sonny...

Food's getting cold.

J“ the maiden wore her beads and braids
and hoped someday he'd talk j“

j“ kaw—liga j“

j“ too stubborn to ever show j“

what are you grinning about?

Chicken-fry me a steak,
and try to use meat this time.

J“ poor ol' kaw—liga
he never got a kiss j“

j“ poor ol' kaw—liga j“j“

I heard about the ball game last night.

Must be pretty near a record.

I'm sorry.

I reckon y'all need glasses.

Ruth: Now hold still.

- Want some more cookies?
- Sonny: Mm-mm.

- More milk?
- I'm full.

How come you've stayed
with the coach?

You don't like him much.

I wasn't brought up to leave a husband.

I guess that's why.

Maybe I was just scared to.

I never noticed how ugly this room is.

What's your favorite color?

I don't know. Blue.

- Maybe I'll re-paper it.
- Why'd you marry him?

I don't know.

My mother didn't like him.
Maybe that was it. Ha-ha.

But I was 20 years old.

I thought hairy-chested
football coaches were about it.

I'm gonna buy us a new quilt.

A blue one.

What you think he'd do if he found us?

Shoot us, probably.

He's always glad to have an excuse
to use his deer rifle.

I thought you boys wanted to fish.

Come on.
Keep an eye on them corks, Billy.

I don't think there's anything
in this tank except turtles.

That's what I like about it,
tell you the truth.

- Wanna try one?
- Sure.

I never liked to clean fish
or eat them either.

You spend half your time
picking out bone.

I just come out here
to get a little scenery.

Too pretty a day to spend in town.

You wouldn't believe
how this country's changed.

First time I seen it,
there wasn't a mesquite tree on it.

Or a prickly pear neither.

I used to own this land, you know.

First time I watered a horse at this tank

was more than 40 years ago.

I reckon the reason
I always drag you out here is

I'm just as sentimental as the next feller
when it comes to old times.

Old times.

I brought a young lady
swimming out here once

more than 20 years ago.

It was after my wife had lost her mind.

And my boys was dead.

Me and this young lady was pretty wild,
I guess.

In pretty deep.

We used to come here on horseback
and swim without no bathing suits. Heh.

One day, she wanted to swim
the horses across this tank.

Kind of a crazy thing to do,
but we done it anyway.

She bet me a silver dollar
she could beat me across.

She did.

This old horse I was riding
didn't wanna take the water.

But she was always looking
for something to do like that.

Something wild.

I'll bet she's still got
that silver dollar.

Whatever happened to her?

Oh, she growed up.

She was just a girl then, really.

Here, let me help you with that.

Why didn't you ever marry her
after your wife died?

She was already married.

Her and her husband was young
and miserable with one another,

like so many young married folks are.

I thought they'd change with some age,

but it didn't turn out that way.

Sonny:
Is being married always so miserable?

Sam: No. Not really.

About 80 percent of the time, I guess.

We ought to go
to a real fishing tank next year.

Ah, it don't do to think
about things like that too much.

If she was here,
I'd probably be just as crazy now

as I was then in about five minutes.

Ain't that ridiculous?

No, it ain't really.

Being crazy about a woman like her
is always the right thing to do.

Being a decrepit, old bag of bones,
that's what's ridiculous.

Getting old.

J“ talk to her, please, Mr. Sun j“

j“ speak to her, Mr. Rainbow j“

My god, I'm glad I wasn't on fire.

I would've burned to death
before you got one button undone.

I'm going to get a drink of water.

J“ put in a word for me j“

I wondered where you went.
Annie-Annie asleep?

Shh.

Nice. You a virgin?

Guess I am.

- I don't wanna be, though.
- I don't blame you.

Come see me when you're not.

J“ another love before my time j“

j“ made your heart sad and blue j“

j“ and so my heart is paying now j“

j“ for things I didn't do j“

why don't we just go some place?
I'm sick and tired of this town.

- You're the only friend I got.
- You mean, go and stay gone?

No, I don't know.

Hey, we go to Mexico.
Be back sometime Monday.

- You reckon the pickup would make it?
- Yeah. How much money you got?

Oh, 30 bucks about.

Well, I got 40.
We can make it. Come on!

Okay.

You boys want...? Hey.

- Where are you going?
- Mexico.

Where?

Better come with us, Sam.
We're headed for the valley.

- Going where did you say?
- Mexico.

- It's about the wildest.
- All the way down.

You going all the way to Mexico tonight
in this old heap ofjunk?

My god.

Reckon the town will get along
without us till Monday?

I reckon.

If I was young enough to bounce,
I'd probably go with you.

- Need any money?
- No, we got plenty.

Well, you'd better take some
for some insurance.

Take money below that border,
it sort of melts sometimes.

Thanks, Sam.

Try not to drink too much
of that buggy water.

We'll just drink beer and Tequila.

You catch the clap,
you'll wish you hadn't drunk nothing.

J“ I want more, more, more
tender kisses j“

j“ the neighbors all raise Cain
and I know that it's a shame j“

j“ but I've got to have
another tender kiss j“j“

oh, well.

We'll see you.

So long!

J“ well, I'm in love, I'm in love
with a beautiful gal j“

j“ that's what's the matter with me j“

j“ well, I'm in love, I'm in love
with a beautiful gal j“

j“ she don't care about me j“

Duane. Hey, wake up!

My stomach don't feel so good.
Got any more of those tums?

You ate them all
before we got to San antone.

Genevieve will have something.
My stomach don't feel so good.

Sonny: "Closed."

I ain't never seen her closed before.

No, not even for Christmas.

Maybe Sam will have something.
I'm sick.

Well, it ain't that early.

Must be some kind of holiday.

Sam don't close on holidays.

Maybe he had to go some place.

Well, let's go ask Andy.

Okay.

- Hey, Andy. Hey, where is everybody?
- Somebody will steal the town.

Asleep.
Everybody that's got any sense.

Why'd Sam close the cafe?

Oh, yeah. Y'all been gone, ain't you?

Gone to Mexico.

- You don't know about it.
- —about what?

Sam died yesterday morning.

Died?

Yep. Quite a blow.

Keeled over one of the snooker tables.
Had a stroke.

- Sam the lion?
- Yep.

Sam's dead.

He was quite a feller.

He had his own way of doing things,
that's for sure.

They found his will.
Craziest thing you ever heard.

He left you the pool hall, Sonny.
What do you think about that?

He left Genevieve the café.

That's the only thing he done
that made any sense.

Left the picture show
to old miss mosey.

Hell, she's too far gone
to even run a popcorn machine.

And the craziest thing of all,

he left $1000 to Joe Bob blanton,
the preacher's boy.

Beats all I ever heard of.

He could just as easily left that to me.

I deserve it at least as much
as that ignorant little bastard.

Anyhow, it's done.

They're burying him tomorrow.

J“ if you love me
half as much as I love you j“

j“ you wouldn't worry me
half as much as you do j“

j“ you're nice to me
when there's no one else around j“j“

Jacy: Come in.

J“ they're not making the skies
as blue j“

j“ this year
wish you were here j“

j“ as blue as they used to... j“

- I love you.
- I love you too.

J“ wish you were here j“

j“ and the mornings
don't seem as new j“

j“ brand new as they did with you j“

j“ wish you were here j“

j“ wish you were here j“

j“ wish you were here j“

j“ someone's painting the leaves
all wrong j“

j“ this year
wish you were here j“

oh, Duane, hurry.

J“ and why did the birds
change their song j“

j“ this year
wish you were here j“

j“ they're not shining the stars
as bright j“

j“ they've stolen the joy
from the night j“

j“ wish you were here j“

j“ wish you were here j“

j“ wish you were here j“

What's wrong, honey?

Uh, I don't know.

That tickles.
You know I can't stand to be tickled.

What's the matter?
Aren't you gonna do it?

I don't know what's wrong.

How could anything be wrong?
Just go on and do it.

Oh, what's the matter with you?

I don't know. Something's happened.

Well, get off a minute!
You might fall and mash me.

I don't know what happened.

It was Mexico.
No telling what you got down there.

I just hate you! I don't know
why I ever went with you.

I don't know what happened.

Put your clothes on. You think I wanna
sit around here and look at you naked?

I knew you couldn't do it.
Now I'll never not be a virgin!

What do we tell everybody?
The whole class knows.

I just wanna cry.
You're the meanest boy I ever saw.

My mother was dead-right about you.

I don't know what happened.

Don't go out there! We haven't had time
to do it. They'd know.

I don't want one soul to know.
You better not tell one soul.

You just pretend it was wonderful!

Well, I'm sorry.
I don't know what happened.

Oh! If you say that one more time,
I'll bite you!

Tell us about it, jacy. What was it like?

I just can't describe it.

I just can't describe it in words.

J“ Texas, our Texas j“

j“ all hail the mighty state j“

j“ Texas, our Texas j“

j“ so wonderful, so great j“

j“ largest and grandest j“

j“ withstanding every test j“

j“ o empire wide and glorious j“

j“ you stand supremely blessed j“

Duane: Jacy.Jacy.

I can do it now. I know I can.

Jacy.

J“ that you may grow
in power and worth j“

j“ throughout the ages long j“j“

Oh, quit prissing!
I don't think you did it right anyway.

Come on.

It's your graduation present.
Hope you like it.

I never seen one as nice.

- Hello.
- Jacy?

What's on your feeble mind, Duane?

Same as it's been. I want a date.

Uh-huh. Why don't you
just go back to Mexico?

I guess girls are just easier
to please down there.

Just go with me one more time.

- You can at least see me.
- —uh—uh.

Find somebody else to pester.
Got a new boyfriend.

- And I can't be talking to you.
- Who?

- Bobby sheen, of course.
- Bobby sheen?

- You crazy?
- I certainly am not.

I guess I wanted to go with him all along
and never realized it.

Maybe we'll see you
in Wichita sometime.

J“ now all the neighbors in her block
have offered things, you see j“

goddamn it! Goddamn it to hell!

J“ I cry for more, more, more
tender kisses j“j“

I hate to see you go, Duane.

Not a goddamn thing to stay for.

Roughnecks say you can get a job
out in Odessa anytime.

Come on back if you don't.

Hey, listen, you hear they busted up,
let me know.

Woman:
Why don't we watch the movie?

Hi. Didn't hear you.

Gene home?

No, he and mama went to the club.

What are you doing home
on a Saturday night?

Bobby sheen ran off and got married.

Annie-Annie Martin.

Want me to turn the TV off?

No, I'm gonna go play some pool.
Tell your dad that well came in okay.

I wish I could go to the pool hall.
I've always wanted to.

It's terrible,
the things girls aren't allowed to do.

Well, hell, come on.
I'll show you the pool hall.

Aren't there people there?

If there are,
they'll be in back asleep now.

Won't bother us. Got my own key.

Okay, I will then.

Goodness, it sure is dark in here.

What a night! I never thought
something like this would happen.

How about hopping out?

Reporter:
Governor adlai e. Stevenson accepted

the Democratic presidential nomination

and picked senator John sparkman
of Alabama to be his running mate.

In Dallas county,
general Dwight d. Eisenhower scored

a second landslide victory
over old-guard republican forces.

Oh, he'sjust awful, mama!
Why do you fool with him?

- Daddy's nicer than him, isn't he?
- He sure is, beautiful.

Your daddy's a very nice man.

I ought to been giving abilene hell
instead of him.

Bobby was the last one.
I'm just gonna be an old maid.

That's just the way it goes sometimes.
You win a few, you lose a few.

What do you do?

Nothing's ever the way
it's supposed to be.

You're right. Come on.

I want to tell you, what I've done
has not worked out too well.

I think maybe we better think
of something else for you.

Right now, I guess Ruth popper's got
about as good a setup as anyone.

Why, sure. Sonny's reasonably
good-looking and he's young.

Don't you know about that? It's been
going on about six months now.

- I thought you kids knew everything.
- That's silly!

She's 40 years old.

So am I, honey.
It's kind of an itchy age.

Want an orange?

I don't believe it.

Sonny's always wanted to go with me.

J“ if you love me j“

man: Pretty easy shot, sheriff.

J“ you wouldn't worry me
half as much as you do j“

sheriff, we got some trouble.

Goddamn you, Monroe!
You made me scratch.

Sorry, sheriff, but Johnny clarg's
little girl's kind of been kidnapped.

They say the preacher's boy put her
in his car two hours ago.

Well, what the hell? Maybe Joe Bob
just give her a ride home.

Be doing her a favor in this hot weather.

Who'd want to kidnap Molly clarg?

Monroe:
I just know she's not home.

They was seen headed
out of town toward olney.

Well, Mrs. Clarg's kind of afraid
that Joe Bob might be

-gonna molest her or something.
Sheriff: Sonny.

You and some of these boys come
with us.

If that's the way it is,
no telling what we'll find.

Molly! Molly!

Get him! Ain't you going to?

Here's my little girl.

He's the one that done it.
Why don't you get him?

If my husband was here,
he'd kill him dead.

What did you do to that child?
We know you done something.

Come on.

Mrs. Clarg: Filthy!

Here now, grab her.
None of this goddamn frenzy.

Filthy! Filthy! Filthy!

Man:
It's the lord's justice, son.

You'll suffer with the murderer
and the thief.

Sonny, drive that Plymouth to town.
We gotta get this man to jail.

- Doctor said he didn't do nothing.
- Never had the guts.

- Preacher's boy.
- Sheriff figured he done something.

Isn't it terrible, Sonny? Were you there?
Did you see anything?

Oh, weren't nothing to see
except Mrs. Clarg.

If she had a gun,
she might've killed us all.

Joe Bob didn't do nothing.

He must've done something.
It scares me to death.

You just never can tell when something
terrible's gonna happen.

- It's okay. They got him now.
- I called you before.

You did?

Mm-hm. I felt lonesome.

Thought you might wanna
drive around awhile.

Well, I'm supposed to be some place.

I'm still a little scared.
Please take me riding.

Well, where will we drive?

You ever hear from Duane?

Got a postcard.

I really feel sad about that.

He's... he's making 320 a month.
Said he bought a car.

I guess I'll always be a little bit
in love with Duane.

We had too much against us.

It wasn't easy
being the one to break up.

J“ she wore blue velvet j“

j“ bluer than velvet was the night j“

j“ softer than satin was the light j“

j“ from the stars j“

- Sonny.
- What?

J“ she wore blue velvet j“

j“ bluer than velvet were her eyes j“

j“ warmer than may her tender sighs j“

j“ love was ours j“

j“ see the marketplace in old Algiers j“

j“ send me photographs
and souvenirs j“

j“ just remember
when a dream appears j“

j“ you belong to me j“j“

not here.

I'm too old for screwing in cars.

I don't like to hurry.

Why don't we go to Wichita
and get a motel room?

I'm afraid to.
I think my folks are watching me.

They know
I don't wanna go to college.

They might think we're gonna run off
and get married.

We'll do it when it's safe.

We got all summer.

J“ poor old kaw-liga
he never got a kiss j“

j“ poor old kaw-liga
he don't know what he missed j“

j“ is it any wonder
that his face is red j“

j“ kaw—liga that poor old
wooden head j“j“

- Hey, Duane.
- Hey, buddy!

You turned roughneck.

Gotta make a living
so I can keep the pool hall open.

When'd you get in?

About 2. I thought I'd surprise you.

Is this yours?

Yeah, how about that? Thirty-eight
thousand miles, and she runs like new.

- Say, you want a beer?
- Not me.

That's about all I eat
for breakfast anymore.

Hey, sure is a nice car.

Yeah, I like to drive it so much,
I thought I'd drop home for the weekend.

Yeah, you can't take too good care
of a car like this.

I wash her every week.

Oh, it looks great.

Hear about Joe Bob?

Yeah, I always knew he was crazy.

He didn't do nothing, except get her
to take her underpants off.

- He's out of jail now.
- Yeah.

Are you still screwing that old lady?

No. Yeah. I've been kind of busy.

I seen old Leroy last week.

He said he thought you and jacy
had been going together.

Yeah, we have, a little.

She's been kind of bored, so once
in a while, we go eat Mexican food.

Well, I hear that ain't all
you been eating.

Well, whoever told you that don't know
what he's talking about.

Sure, I've been going with her.
Why not?

I never said I blamed you for it.
I don't blame you much.

I never thought you'd do that.
I thought we were best friends.

We are. What you so mad for?
I never done nothing.

- Screwing my girl ain't nothing?
- I ain't screwing her.

- Hell, you ain't!
- Well, I ain't.

- She's not your girl.
- She is my girl!

You don't even live here anymore.

That don't make no difference!
I'm getting her back.

She's gonna marry me
one of these days.

- She won't.
- We're meant to get married.

She's off to college soon.

I doubt I'll ever get to go
with her again myself, once she gets off.

I never saw what it could hurt
to go with her this summer though.

- She's never gonna marry you.
- She is! Don't tell me she won't!

She'd never let you screw her.
That's for sure.

Hell, I was just seeing
how honest you was.

Jacy would never let you screw her.
You ain't that good a cocksman.

You never even screwed
charlene duggs all that time.

Course I didn't!

You know why?

Because you had the pickup
all the time Saturday night, that's why.

Nobody could've screwed
in the time I had.

I could've screwed her in five minutes.
I wouldn't need no pickup.

She only went with you because you was
in the backfield and I was in the line.

What you talking about?
We was in love.

Oh, you was. She likes me
just as much as she ever liked you.

- That's a lie.
- I'll stay with her all night too.

- She promised.
- You won't either.

I will. Why shouldn't I?

She done told me you couldn't even do it
that time in Wichita falls.

Genevieve: What happened?

Sonny?

Host: This is your
turntable matinee here on ktrn,

where you can hear fulton Lewis, Jr
every Monday through Friday at 6 pm.

Now here's Hank Williams.

There's a lady in the waiting room.
She sent you this.

J“ tonight my head
is bowed in sorrow j“

j“ I can't keep the tears from my eyes j“

could you tell her I'm asleep?

Please?

All right.

J“ the right to his love
I've been denied j“j“

J“ today I passed you on the street j“

that too cold?

No, it's great.

Say, I hear Duane joined the army.

Good place for him too.

He didn't mean to hit me
with the bottle.

That boy's
always had meanness in him.

Jacy's just the kind of girl
that brings out the meanness in a man.

She's just like her grandmother.

I hadn't ought to talk about them.
We was all good friends once.

Dan roughnecked with gene farrow.

He and Lois used to live
in this one-room place

over the newspaper office.

Lois couldn't afford a flour sack,
much less a mink.

I've always had
a soft spot for her, though.

Yeah, I wondered a lot of times
what would've happened

if my Dan had made the strikes
that gene made.

They offered that rig to him first.

Yup.

Dan Morgan never took a chance
in his life.

Do you wish y'all had made it?

Sure, I wish we'd made it.

I guess the army won't take me now,
I just got one good eye.

You wanna go over to Korea
and get yourself killed?

You ain't got your senses back yet,
what few you ever had.

The café won't run itself.
You rest up now.

Here's for the cheeseburger.

Okay, I'll bring your change
when I bring your supper.

Sonny?

Oh, come on in.

Host: "I can't help it." Hank Williams.
Big sound from last year.

Now here's a brand-new one,
just came in from webb Pierce.

Gonna hear it a lot, I bet.

Oh, I was so worried.
I just had to see you.

Oh, I've been missing you.

And I'm a lot better than I was.
Here, sit down.

You can't believe how famous we are.
We're all anybody talks about in town.

- Yeah, I guess so.
- I want us to get married.

- What?
- I really do.

Get married?

Just as soon as you want to.
Don't you want to?

Oh, yeah.

I bet the town will be knocked for a loop.
They'll never forget it.

Ain't you going to college?

I don't care about that.
I love you, and that's more important.

You were so dear to fight for me.

My folks won't like it,
but we'll run off.

- They'll kill us.
- No, they won't.

- They'll kill me.
- They'll get over it.

You're working for daddy now anyway.

Pretty soon, they'll love you
just as much as I do.

Can we?

Sure, I just hope I can see to drive.

Don't you worry. I can drive.

Don't do that, Sonny.

Why not?

We're man and wife now.
We can do anything.

Not while I'm driving.
I might have a wreck.

Goodness. Wouldn't it be awful if mama
and daddy got the police after us?

- They don't even know where we are.
- Well, I had to leave them a note.

So they wouldn't be worried
out of their mind.

Oh, you shouldn't have done that.

I figured
they'd have to know sometime.

Well, what could they get us for?

We got a right to get married.
Ain't we?

I guess so.

I wish you didn't have
that stupid eye patch. It's really creepy.

Oh, hey, I can take it off pretty soon.

About two hours, will be lake texoma.
Have a room to ourself.

My goodness! You're sitting so close,
I can barely drive.

J“ goodbye Joe, me gotta go
me, oh, my, oh j“

j“ me gotta go pole the pirogue
down the bayou j“

j“ my Yvonne, the sweetest one

j“ son of a gun, we'll have big fun
on the bayou j“

oh, goodness.

J“ jambalaya and a crawfish pie
and fillet gumbo j“

j“ 'cause tonight I'm gonna see
my ma Cher amio j“

J“ son of a gun, we'll have big fun
on the bayou j“j“

howdy.

- What part of Texas y'all from?
- Anarene.

Newlyweds, ain't you?

Y'all better follow me on in.
I think somebody's looking for you.

We got a right to get married.
How can you arrest us?

I ain't arresting you.
I just want you to come with me.

I don't know what your rights are.

I guess we better follow him, honey.

I'll just be heartbroken
if my folks have done this.

You think I worked hard so my daughter
could end up in a pool hall?

- We was gonna get another apartment.
- I'll bet!

Where are your car keys?

It's a hell of a note!
Just a hell of a note!

- Oh, shut up and take her home.
- You bet I will!

You take her car.
As far as I'm concerned, he can walk!

- Not much of a wedding night, huh?
- Nope.

Not much of one.

Here. Have a little drink of bourbon.
It'll pick you up.

Take all of it. I'm gonna drive.

You won't believe this,

but you're lucky we got you
clear of her quick as we did.

You'd have been a lot better off
staying with Ruth popper.

Does everybody know about that?

Course.

Sounded like a good deal to me, kiddo.
Shouldn't let jacy turn your head.

Well, she's prettier.

I guess I shouldn't have, though.
I guess I treated her terrible.

Guess you did.

Sure weren't out of Texas very long.

Well, Oklahoma's not much
of an improvement.

It's not the same now.

Nothing's really been right
since Sam the lion died.

No, it hasn't.

Oh, god.

I get sad if I think of Sam for long.

Did you know he had beautiful hands?

I guess you liked him, didn't you?

I guess everybody did.

Well, I'll tell you,
it was different with me, Sonny.

I loved him.

He loved me too.

Are you...?

Are you the one he'd take swimming

out at the tank?

He told you about that, huh?

Yeah, I was the one.

I guess if it wasn't for Sam, I'd...

Just about have missed it.
Whatever it is.

I'd have been one of them amity types
that thinks that

playing bridge is about
the best thing that life has to offer.

Old Sam the lion.

Sam the lion. Nobody knows
where he got that name. I gave it to him.

One night,

it just came to me.

He was so pleased.

I was 22 years old then.

Can you imagine?

I tell you, Sonny,

it's terrible to only meet one man
in your whole life

who knows what you're worth.

Just terrible.

I've looked too.

You wouldn't believe how I've looked.

- Well, now I know why Sam liked you.
- Loved me.

Loved you, I mean.

Do you?

I can kind of see
what he saw in you too.

Nope. I'll just go on home.

Go on. Get out.

J“ I got a feeling called the blues
oh, lord j“j“

think I could...?
Think I could learn to drink?

You might. Better keep on practicing.

That Logan boy's a quarterback,
now, ain't he?

Boy, we've finally got us a team!

Didn't back in your day,
did they, Sonny?

No, we wasn't much good.

Well, you just never learned
the fundamentals.

You know, blocking and tackling.

Not like this team.

- When was it you graduated?
- Last year.

You don't mean it.

Seems like longer than that
since you and old Duane played ball.

I seen Duane a while ago.

He's home on leave,
wearing his uniform.

I ain't seen him yet.

- How are you, Chester?
- Fine, coach.

Now, listen, see if we can't stretch
that goddamn thing a little.

You know a man never ought to cheat,
unless it's for a good cause.

Chester:
He's a good old boy, ain't he?

J“ anarene high school, we love you j“

j“ love you ever so grand j“

j“ we will always be so loyal j“

j“ loyal to a man j“

j“ anarene, defeat or victory j“

j“ we will always be true j“j“

Hi, Mrs. Jackson.

Duane here?

That's his car out there, ain't it?
He's here if he ain't walked off.

Hi, how you been?

Oh, pretty good.

I been thinking all week
that I'd run into you.

I heard you was going off to Korea.

Thought I'd get over here
and see you before you got off.

Glad you did. I'm taking
the bus out early in the morning.

Want to go to the picture show?

Miss mosey's having to close it.
Tonight's the last night.

Yeah, might as well go.

Hate to miss the last night.
Take the Mercury.

Be the last chance I'll have
to drive it for a while.

Thomas: Ready, Matthew?

Matt: All ready.

Take them to Missouri, Matt.

Yeehaw!

- That was a good movie.
- Yeah.

Seen it here before once.

Why don't we run over to Wichita
and drink some beer?

Okay. I got lots of time till morning.

Sure.

Sonny:
Well, so long, miss mosey.

Sorry you're closing the show.

Nobody wants to come
to shows no more.

Kid baseball in the summer,
television all the time.

Sam had lived, I believe
we could've kept it going.

But I just didn't have the know-how.

Won't be much to do in town
with the picture show closed.

Well, so long.

Duane.

You watch out now, overseas.

J“ each night I laid there in prison j“

j“ I pictured a future so bright j“j“

sure weren't no women around.

I guess the next piece of ass
I get will be yellow.

I wish I was going with you.

Why don't you take care
of the car for me?

Your ma don't need it?

I wouldn't want her driving it.
No better than she can drive.

Help her take the groceries home
if you got time.

Okay.

You ever...?

You ever hear from jacy?

No, not a thing.

She don't get home much.
Ain't been back to town since August.

I guess she just stays in Dallas
all the time.

Yeah, probably does.

I guess there's lots to do
down in Dallas.

I ain't over her yet, you know.

I ain't over her yet.

It's the damnedest thing.

That's the only reason...

The only reason you and I got
into it that time, you know.

Hey, reckon she likes it
down in Dallas?

It's hard to say. Maybe she does.

Reckon you and her would've got it
all straighted out if! Hadn't butted in?

No, they'd have annulled me too,
even if we had.

Y'all...?

Y'all never even got into the motel?

Well...

Better get on before we both freeze.

Here are the keys.

- So long, buddy.
- So long, Duane.

Be careful.

I'll take care of the Mercury.

I'll see you in a year or two
if I don't get shot.

Man 1: He ought to be in bed.

Man 2: The wind is blowing real hard.
Man 3: Right in front of that station.

Christ, the trucker
didn't have a chance.

Man 2: Yeah, he's out here all the time
doing something.

Man 4:
I can see it wasn't your fault.

Man 5: The sand was blowing.
I never noticed him.

Figured nobody'd be in the street.

What was he doing out there
carrying that broom?

He weren't doing nothing.
Just a simple-minded kid.

- Never had no sense.
- Man 1: Wasn't your fault.

Man 4:
Hell, no, mister! I can see that.

He was just a dumb old kid.

Didn't know enough
to keep his ass out of the cold.

Let's go to the café.
Ain't had breakfast.

I'd still like to know
what he was doing with that broom.

He was sweeping, you sons of bitches!

He was sweeping!

Y'all got some crazy kids in this town,
if you ask me.

Could I have a cup of coffee with you?

I guess.

I'm sorry. I'm still in my bathrobe.

What am I doing apologizing to you?

Why am I always apologizing to you,
you little bastard?

Three months I've apologized to you
without you even being here!

I haven't done anything wrong.
Why can't I quit apologizing?

You ought to be sorry!

I wouldn't still be in my bathrobe
if not for you.

I'd have my clothes on hours ago.

You're the one made me quit caring
if I got dressed or not!

Just because your friend got killed,

you want me to forget what you did
and make it all right.

I'm not sorry for you.

You'd have left Billy too,
just like you left me.

I bet you left him plenty of nights,

whenever jacy whistled.

I wouldn't treat a dog that way.

You thought I was so old and ugly,
you didn't owe me any explanation.

You didn't need to be careful of me.

There was nothing I could do
about you and her, so why be careful?

You didn't love me.

Look at me.

Can't you even look at me?

Shouldn't have come here.

I'm around that corner now.

You've ruined it.

It's lost completely.

Just your needing me
won't make it come back.

Never you mind, honey.

Never you mind.

J“ well, why don't you love me
like you used to do? J“

j“ how come you treat me
like a worn-out shoe? J“

j“ my hair's still curly
and my eyes are still blue j“

j“ why don't you love me
like you used to do? J“

j“ ain't had no iovin'
like a-huggin' and a-kissin' j“

j“ in a long, long while j“

j“ we don't get nearer or further
or closer than a country mile j“

j“ why don't you spark me
like you used to do? J“

j“ and say sweet nothings
like you used to coo? J“

j“ I'm the same old trouble
that you've always been through j“

j“ so why don't you love me
like you used to do? J“

J“ well, why don't you be
just like you used to be? J“

j“ how come you find so many
faults with me? J“

j“ somebody's changed
so let me give you a clue j“

j“ why don't you love me
like you used to do? J“

J“ ain't had no iovin'
like a-huggin' and a-kissin' j“

j“ in a long, long while j“

j“ we don't get nearer or further
or closer than a country mile j“

j“ why don't you say
the things you used to say? J“

j“ what makes you treat me
like a piece of Clay? J“

j“ my hair's still curly
and my eyes are still blue j“

j“ why don't you love me
like you used to do? J“j“
