�(organ music playing)
�(bell tolling)

Thank you all for being here
to celebrate the life

of Miss Anne Stafford,

�a pillar of our community
who touched so many. �(sobbing)

Miss Anne's dance studio
was so much more

than just a place
to learn to tap.

It was a haven for girls
who had nowhere else to turn.

Oh, Miss Anne!

Taken from us too soon!

(wails):
Oh, Miss Anne!

Mother, do not make
this funeral about you.

♪ ♪

�I have a story to tell!
�I do, too!

�Oh, Lord.
�What's happening?

These two trauma queens
turn every funeral

into a sob story competition.

Miss Anne did more
than introduce me

to dance and pageantry.

She saved my life.

As you all know,
my father died...

during childbirth.

�What...?
�(gasping, crying)

He went out for a cigarette

and got run over
by an ambulance.

�(thunder crashes)
�(sobbing)

Mother blamed me
for Daddy's death.

(murmuring)

My father also died.

(thunder crashes)

Serving his country,
a true hero,

in the Korean War.

(murmuring)

Oh, I just remembered
some more details.

(thunder crashes)

My father served
in World War II,

which was probably
the greatest war.

Way better than the Korean War.

I had to get a job
shucking pecans

at the preteen,
super tragic age of 11.

While working third shift
at the couch cushion factory,

my toe got sewn to a love seat.

I lost the tip
of my pointer finger.

But with lots of prayer
and my faith

in our Lord Jesus Christ,
my fingertip

fully grew back
and my nails have never

�been stronger.
�Wha...?

Oh, Miss Anne!

�(crying)
�(people gasping)

Good Lord,
how many insane ladies

are gonna bum�rush this eulogy?

Marjune Culpepper.

�Do you have a story to share?
�I do.

It's a story
I haven't told until now.

When I was just 18,
my father ran off.

�(gasping)
�My mama got real sick,

and we just didn't know how
we were gonna feed the baby.

So one day,
she gave me a red satin dress,

made me up and paraded me
in front of older men.

�(gasping)
�Oh, hell no!

We were just doing
what we had to do to survive.

And Mama said, "Here's
your one chance, Marjune.

Don't let me down."

�(groaning)
�And from then on,

I was bought and sold
like chattel

to men who were a minimum
seven times my age.

�(gasps)
�I was a husk.

And when Miss Anne
took me under her wing,

she built me back up,
piece by broken piece,

through the power of dance.

(crying)

Did you hear that crock
of dookie Dundee?

She made that whole thing up.

Oh, I'm trying
to unhear that web of lies.

What are y'all doing?
Cooking up some new sob stories?

Jenny, open your earholes.

Marjune Culpepper
just stole the entire plot

of Reba McEntire's
hit song "Fancy"

and passed it off
as her own life story.

Red dress, locket, "Be nice
to the rich men, Fancy."

Baby, tombstone, shack.
It's iconic.

Don't sugarcoat it, Betty.

It's the best childhood
prostitute anthem ever recorded.

Y'all, come on.

She's not copying Reba.
It's totally different.

(scoffs) That song's about
a girl whose mother got sick

and couldn't feed the baby
so she put her teenage daughter

in a red satin dress
and sold her off to rich men

'cause it was her one chance.

Oh, I'm hearing it now.
Yeah, she stole that story.

But you got to help me out here.

There's literally

I mean, are people seeing this?

�Am I crazy?
�Classic harassment.

(both shout)

�A hand!
�An ugly glove!

Oh, thank you so much.
Thank you.

All that love she's getting
is based on a stolen song lyric.

Every hug,
every pat on the shoulder,

every heartfelt handclasp.

(gasps) And now Reverend Moore's
praying with her?

That should be us
getting those extra prayers.

Our stories were
the saddest ones by a mile.

Marjune Culpepper
needs to be exposed, and then

this whole town will want
those hugs and prayers back.

That's right. The saddest thing
in her life should be us.

Crystalynn, I do not
care for you, but I bet

you're smelling exactly
what I'm smelling, y'all.

Oh, no. Not a devil's bargain.

You got to start training

�No, thank you. Pass.
�Yeah. We're good.

�We're in the middle

�Who are you?

Well, I'm Coach Fowler, filling
in for Coach Stikeleather.

I guess he fell off his roof
trying to get pine needles

out of his DirecTV dish.

Now, what's all this?

It's called
Japanese flower arranging.

We have an agreement
with Coach Stikeleather.

We pursue our interests, and...

That's it.
That's the entire agreement.

Well, I love where you're going
with those flowers,

but this is a gym class,
so maybe put a pin

in the flowers and come on down
to the track, huh?

Come on, move it.
Your flowers are gonna be fine.

What a Nazi. Did you hear that?

"Your flowers will be fine."
(scoffs)

Well, that's code for "Don't you
dare try to express yourself."

MARJUNE:
Oh, bless you both
for stopping by.

I could use
all the cheering up I can get.

Miss Anne's passing
really brought up

painful memories for me.

Oh, my gosh, Marjune, we were
just so moved by your story.

I shouldn't have waited
so long to tell it.

Yes, you might even say
your story was a hit.

Yes, it really sang.

You brought the McEntire room
to tears.

No one would ever hear it
and ask for a Reba�ate.

Well, when you speak
from the heart,

it always connects.
Cookie?

Wow, she is really
not getting it.

We gotta stop being so clever.

I've got a question
that'll trip her up.

Marjune, what was the name
of that little town

you grew up in?

Um...

�Thinmint.
�Thinmint?

Yes, Thinmint.

�You're saying Thin Mint?
�Thinmint.

�Thin...
�Mint.

Do you ever get back there,
to Thinmint?

Oh, I haven't been
to Thinmint in years.

You know what, Marjune,

I would love to see
this refreshing town

of Thinmint, North Carolina.

You know what? I think
that's a wonderful idea.

�It is?
�Absolutely.

We should go, the three of us.

I have been carrying around
so much pain,

it's time to face it.

And I need you both
for strength.

Oh, uh, really?

Yes. So, what do you say,
ladies? Road trip?

Uh�oh, looks like
she called our bluff.

Hmm? No. Caulderbluff is down
more toward Wilmington.

VIOLET:
And then this jock comes in
and is like,

"Get your asses down there
right now!"

Yelling at us to get in line
and, I don't know,

man up or something like that.

Wait, he said that?

He might as well have,
throwing all his chest beating,

caveman crap around.

And if I fail the
presidential fitness test,

I fail gym.

And if the black mark
on my record is gym...

Vi, let us know when you feel
like you've made your point.

�Her GPA's gonna go down.
�Wayne gets it.

Punishing kids just for being
oddball weaklings.

This isn't the 1980s.
Weirdos are people, too.

He's totally homophobic.
An emotional terrorist.

Well, that terrorist is
about to meet the department

of Wayneland Security.

That homophobic,
knuckle�dragging,

Kid Rock listening roid rager
needs to learn

he cannot mess with people
just because they're different.

Mm.

Oh, he's got a boyfriend.

We may have some details
wrong about this guy.

(school bell rings)

Oh, sorry to keep you waiting.

Uh, I was just saying goodbye
to my husband.

He's headed off to South America
to fix some cleft palates.

It's hard being apart,

but seeing the looks
on those kids' faces

is just, oh... wow.

So, what's going on?
What can I help you with?

Well, don't take this
the wrong way...

It's just that we heard
there might have been some...

ooh... (chuckles) emotional
terrorism in your class.

Oh, my God, thank you. Yes.

I mean, she and David have been
putting me through the ringer.

Here's a list of the things
they have done

in order to get out of
simply participating in gym.

David pretended to have
a heart attack.

Violet claimed to have
a split personality disorder

so that I couldn't even
talk to her.

Instead, I had to speak
to a wolf child named Yoli.

And finally, they called
Amber Alerts on themselves

simply to get out
of jumping rope.

And all of this was
just yesterday.

Oh, no, our daughter's
the bad guy.

I blame myself.

I played her some old
Jerky Boys albums.

I poisoned the well.

My Lord, these old roads
are taking me back.

She's never been
on this road in her life.

She's just doubling down
on her double down.

(gasps)
Oh, look.

There's Doody's Chicken.

That place used to have the best
fried chicken in the state.

Doody was a dear friend
of my father's

and the first man
who ever made love to me

to the point I said,
"Now I get it."

Is she just gonna keep making up
roadside memories

until we jump out of this car?

If that's her strategy,
she's in for a big surprise.

'Cause I'm not leaving
until she confesses to me

like I'm Pope Sean Paul.

�We need to talk.
�Wayne, please. If I may.

I am her mother,
and I know how to approach this.

What the hell, Violet?!

I marched down there
in full Mama Bear mode,

ready to lift a car
off my toddler,

only to find out that my toddler
was actually driving the car

and she drove it
right over her gym teacher,

who was a nice, reasonable man.

A nice, reasonable, gay man,

which I only mention
'cause you led us to believe

he was targeting y'all
for being different.

How could a gay guy
be mean like that?

And before you say anything,

no, he wasn't even fun mean like
the neighbor on Will & Grace.

He was a gentle gay,
like Gandalf.

Violet, he said he'll give
you and David a "B"

if you can pass the Presidential
Physical Fitness Exam.

Which is just some pull�ups,
sit�ups and a light jog.

�In one day?
�Oh, come on,
it's hardly anything.

Well, did you pass it?

�Yes.
�Yes, with flying colors.

Okay, Violet,
in over 45 minutes,

you did just under one push�up.

But we're rounding up, right?

And, David, as far as I can
tell, you didn't do anything.

Nuh�uh.
I did a half a sit�up.

That's just called lying down.

Bottom line, you guys would fail

the Presidential
Physical Fitness Exam

and whatever test they give
for osteoporosis.

Ugh. We don't need this.
Making me and David pass P.E.

stop fooling around.

It's like you
don't even care about this.

Ding, ding, ding!
I don't.

Boy, she is not going to admit
to this lie for nothing.

She sure is going
to a lot of trouble

for something that's
just gonna blow up in her face.

Wait. It's starting to feel
like too much trouble.

�What do you mean?
�Let me walk you through this,
Helen Keller.

She was cornered,
like an animal,

had to think fast, so she
just got us on the road...

In the middle of nowhere.

�She's gonna kill us!
�She's fixin' to kill us!

we got to disguise ourselves

so we can get away from her.

Violet Hart,
you are not gonna give up.

You have to at least try.

I don't want to try,
because when I do,

it sucks and it's embarrassing.
