THEY WON'T TOUCH HER.

I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS,

BUT I GOT NO CHOICE BUT TO TALK TO JUDGE DAVIS NOW

LUCY GOT PREGNANT WHEN SHE WAS 16,

RAN AWAY WITH SOME DRIFTER FELLA.

WHEN THAT WENT SOUTH, SHE CAMEBACK TO HAVE THE BABY ALONE.

AS YOU CAN EXPECT, THAT DIDN'TGO OVER TOO WELL WITH CLYDE.

LOOK... [sighs]

THE TRUTH IS CLYDE PUSHED HER AWAY.

SHE FELT SHE'D BEENA DISGRACE TO THE FAMILY NAME.

SO LUCY TOOK OFF WHEN THE BABY WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD,

HOOKED UP WITH THE FATHER AGAIN.

AFTER THAT, IT GETS KIND OF FOGGY.

WHILE I STAY HERE AND VISIT MY FRIENDS.

YOU'VE GOT THE LIST.THEN YOU CAN PICK ME UP AFTER.

- WHY DON'T YOU USE THAT 100

YOU TOOK FROM MY PURSE LAST NIGHT?

- OK. GOOD IDEA.

- HERE YOU GO.

ONE SALAD, NO DRESSING, AND TWO ICED TEAS.

- THANK YOU.

- [chewing]

LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.

STRICTLY HYPOTHETICAL.

WHAT IS SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO THE OLD LADY?

YOU KNOW, BEFORE HER WILL GOT STRAIGHTENED OUT?

YOU KNOW, TO REFLECT OUR CURRENT SITUATION?

- WELL, I GUESS IT WOULD GO TO THE COURTS,

AND THEY EITHER HANDLE HER AFFAIRS

OR THEY WOULD APPOINT A GUARDIAN.

- OH. LIKE ME?

- MOST LIKELY, YEAH.

- SO, IN OTHER WORDS,

I WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR HER USING HER ASSETS?

- YEAH. PAY THE HOSPITAL BILLS,

THE RENT AT THE REST HOME, THAT SORT OF THING.

YOU'D PROBABLY EVEN BE ABLE

TO SELL HER PROPERTY IF YOU NEEDED TO.

- HMM. I COULD NEVER BRING MYSELF TO DO THAT.

IT'S THE ONLY HOME SHE KNOWS.

- WELL, I'M SURE IT WON'T COME TO THAT.

- NOW, IT'S NOT EASY

TO PROVE SOMEBODY MENTALLY INCOMPETENT.

SHE'LL HAVE TO BE TESTED.

- HOW DO WE START?

- FIRST OF ALL,

FOR THE COURT TO GRANT YOU A FULL GUARDIANSHIP,

YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE

THE CLEAR AND UNCONTESTED HEIRTO HER ESTATE.

- WHAT ABOUT THE REST HOME?

IS THAT GOING TO COST ME AN ARM AND A LEG?

- A BAD ONE IS 60 GRAND A YEAR.

- WHOA. WHAT ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT?

CAN'T I GET THEM TO PAY FOR THAT?

- ONLY IF A PERSON IS POOR,

AND I MEAN DIRT POOR.

- THEN SHE'S POOR. DIRT POOR. PUT THAT DOWN.

- SHE'S DIRT POOR? - DIRT.

DIRT. - ALL RIGHT.

GOOD. NOW, IN WHAT WAYS DO YOU THINK

YOUR GRANDMOTHER IS INCOMPETENT?

- IN EVERY WAY. SHE'S NUTS.

SHE'S CRAZY. SHE'S INSANE.

SHE THINKS THE DOCTOR LEFT A HALF A Q-TIP IN HER EAR,

AND IT'S FLOATING AROUND IN HER HEAD.

[laughs] - Q-TIP?

WELL, I THINK YOU HAVE A CASE MY FRIEND.

PUT HER THERE!

- OK, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT?

- RICHARD, I'VE BEEN THINKING

THAT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MAKE PLANS FOR ME.

- PLANS?

- YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO VISIT DONNY PAUL LUGGER

DOWN AT LUGGER BROTHERS,

AND I NEED YOU TO PICK ME OUT A PRETTY CASKET.

- OH. OK.

- NOW, DON'T SKIMP ON IT.

I NEED TO GO OUT FIRST CLASS.

- WELL, WHY DON'T YOU GET BACK TO SLEEP.

- WOULD YOU PUT ON MY RADIO?

- I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN SLEEPWITH ALL THIS RACKET.

- WELL, IT COMFORTS ME.

[preacher speaking on radio]

- GOODNIGHT. - PLEASE...

STAY A FEW MINUTES.

- BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL, FOR THEY SHALL OBTAIN MERCY.

THIS, DEAR HEARTS, IS MY FAVORITE,

AND, OH MY, DOES IT SPEAK TO OUR DUTY

AND HOW WE LIVE OUR LIVES

AND THE REWARD WE CAN EXPECT WHEN WE PASS ON.

- [sighs]

- BEING MERCIFUL MEANS DOING WHATEVER WE CAN

FOR SOMEBODY ELSE...

IN FACT, WE HAVE TO MAKE IT A HABIT OF BEING MERCIFUL.

LOOK HERE! IT'S MORE THAN AN OBLIGATION.

IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY.

IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE OF SOME ASSISTANCE

TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING WHO'S IN NEED.

- NOW, HOW SOON WILL YOU BE

NEEDING OUR SERVICES, MR. GREENE?

- UH, I'M NOT REALLY SURE. SHE'S ILL. ANY DAY NOW.

- OH, I SEE. THIS IS A PRE-NEED ARRANGEMENT.

WELL, THAT'S VERY, VERY WISE ON YOUR PART.

NOBODY WANTS TO BE DOING BUSINESS

WHEN THEY'RE BROKEN-HEARTED AND PROSTRATE WITH GRIEF.

[laughs]

- RIGHT.

- WELL, NOW ON THE CASKET,

YOU CAN GO WITH $700 WOOD--

THIS IS NON-SEALING--

ALL THE WAY UP TO

A $10,000 HERMETICALLY-SEALED BRONZE NUMBER

WITH 24 KARAT GOLD TRIM AND VELVET INTERIOR.

THIS BABY COMES WITH A 50 YEAR WARRANTEE.

MADE BY THE SAME FOLKS WHO ROOFED THE ALAMO DOME.

- HOW MUCH FOR THE BASKET?

- $449.95.

NOW, YOU SURE I CAN'T INTEREST YOU

IN THE REDWOOD, THE CEDAR OR THE KNOTTY PINE?

- NO, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH THE BASKET CASKET.

- NOW FOR THE SERVICE,

WOULD YOU-- WOULD YOU BE REQUIRING A LIMOUSINE?

- NO LIMOUSINE. NOTHING FANCY.

WHEN SHE DIES, JUST STICK HER IN THE BASKET,

PUT IT IN THE GROUND, THAT'S IT, OK?

- RICHIE?

- OH! WELL, HELLO, ANNIE.

- I REALLY ADMIRE WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

- ME?

- YEAH, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REALIZE IT,

BUT YOU WERE HER LAST HOPE.

WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT HER IN A REST HOME.

IT'S SUCH A SACRIFICE YOU'RE MAKING,

PUTTING YOUR WHOLE LIFE ON HOLD

JUST TO HELP OUT SOMEONE YOU DON'T EVEN REALLY KNOW.

- AH! WELL, YOU KNOW, HEY LISTEN...

I'M HAPPY TO DO IT. [laughs]

[dropping bags in trunk]

- IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ORANYTHING, JUST GIVE ME A CALL.

YOU GOT MY NUMBER.

- OK.

HOW ABOUT IF I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

- WELL, THEN YOU JUST CALL TO SAY HI.

NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN THE WICKER.

I LOVE TO CATCH THE WIND IN MY HAND.

IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M GOING SOMEWHERES.

- SPEAKING OF WHICH,

WHICH STREET DID YOU SAY THAT BANK WAS ON?

- OH, I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE BANK.

THERE'S NOTHING THERE BUT MONEY.

- I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO GO TO THE BANK?

- WELL, I DID. I FIBBED.

LET'S GO SOMEWHERE PRETTY.

I KNOW WHERE WE CAN GO. IT IS MY FAVORITE PLACE.

[laughs] NOW WAY OVER THERE

THAT'S YOUR FOURTH COUSIN MINNIE LEE CARPENTER.

AW, SWEET LITTLE MINNIE LEE.

SHE GOT SMALLPOX BEFORE SHE COULD GET THE INOCULATION,

AND SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 36 DAYS.

SHE DIED 2:13 IN THE MORNING CHRISTMAS DAY.

OH, SHE WAS BURIED

IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ROSE CASKET

I BELIEVE THAT WAS MADE OF MAHOGANY.

[grunts]

THIS IS YOUR PAPA. THIS IS YOUR GRANDPA LEE.

I DON'T GO OUT THERE. - OH?

- WELL, I'M GOING TO SEE HER SOME DAY WHEN MY TIME COMES.

- WHAT IS?

- WHEN YOU'RE DEAD, YOU'RE DEAD.YOU DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

- WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

DON'T YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR MAMA AND DADDY AGAIN

SOME DAY IN HEAVEN?

- WHY SHOULD I? I BARELY KNEW THEM.

MY MOTHER DIED WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD.

MY FATHER TOOK OFF TEN YEARS LATER.

THEY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ME. - THAT'S NOT TRUE.

MOTHERS ALWAYS CARE ABOUT THEIR BABIES.

- LOOK, DO ME A FAVOR.

DON'T TRY TO INVENT SOME FAMILY FOR ME NOW.

OK, IT'S TOO LATE. - NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

I WANT TO TELL YOU A THING OR TWO.

FIRST OF ALL, YOU DID HAVE A FAMILY.

YOU HAD A MAMA AND A PAPA.

YOU HAD LUCY, AND YOU HAD THAT THEO GREENE.

AND YOU'VE GOT TWO SETS OF GRANDPARENTS.

YOU'VE GOT IVY AND CHARLIE GREENE.

YOU'VE GOT ME AND PAPA LEE.

YOU HAD FOUR SETS OF GREAT GRANDPARENTS.

AND YOU HAD EIGHT SETS OF THEIR PARENTS

AND 16 SETS OF THEIR PARENTS.

AND IF YOU FOLLOW THEM ROOTS BACK EVEN 500 YEARS

YOU'VE GOT MAYBE A MILLION PEOPLE

DOING THEIR LEVEL BEST TO SEE

THAT YOU CAME OUT OF YOUR MAMA'S BELLY

ON NOVEMBER 22nd, 1969.

SO DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME

THAT YOU DON'T HAVE NO FAMILY.

DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME THAT NOBODY CARES.

[sniffs]
