(HUMMING)

DANI: (SINGING) My whole life through

(HUMMING)

ELVIS: (ON RECORD)
I will spend

My whole life through

Loving you

Just loving you

Winter, summer

Springtime, too

Loving you

Loving you

Makes no difference

Where I go

Or what I may do

You know that

I've always been

Loving you

Just you and

If I'm seen
with someone new

Don't be blue

Don't you be blue

I'll be faithful

I'll be true

Always true

True to you

There is only
one for me

And you know who

You know that
I'll always be

Loving

You

I love Elvis so much.

MAUREEN: (CHUCKLES) You love
everybody so much.

I do not.

MAUREEN: You do, too.

No, I don't.

Okay, you don't.

DANI: Well, I don't.

Maureen, sometimes
you make me feel like such a baby.

(LAUGHS)

You are a baby.

I wish I could be just like you.

MAUREEN: Don't talk silly.

It's not silly.

You're the smartest girl in school.

You're so pretty it hurts.

Boys fall all over themselves

when you walk down the street,

and I'm just a lump.

MAUREEN: Come on,
you're not a lump.

DANI: You've never
been a lump.

You wouldn't know one if you fell over it.

If I'm so damn perfect,

then why is my head so mixed up?

Mixed up about what?

Well, I mean,
sometimes things just don't make sense,

and all of a sudden I get scared.

Scared of what?

I don't know.

Are you all right, Maureen?

I don't know.

See, I don't know anything anymore.

One minute,
all I can think about is packing my bags

and catching the first bus.

And then the next minute,

I'm afraid that once I get out in the world,

it's going to eat me alive.

That's dumb, Maureen.

You've got a scholarship to Duke,

and you're going to live in the dorm.

Nothing's going to eat you.

Sometimes I wonder
if I shouldn't just stay here and get a job

or get married like everybody else.

DANI: Marry who?

Somebody. I don't know.

Billy Sanders?

Good Lord, no!

Do you remember when we were little

and Mama used to tell us,

when things get all mixed up,

all you have to do
is tell the man in the moon?

Yeah, you just had to keep on talking

until you were sure you told him everything

so that he
had all the pieces, just like a puzzle.

And then he'd work out the puzzle
for you while you were asleep.

Yeah, but that was kid's stuff, Maureen.

We're too old for make-believe.

Yeah, I know.

ABBY: Dani?

Dani!

Dani, are you up yet?

Maureen, get that child out of bed!

Dani, come on, get up.

You're going to be late for church.

I hate church!

All right. You know,
once your baby brother gets here,

you women won't be able
to boss me around so much.

I won't be so outnumbered.

And I won't be so pregnant.

How do you feel?

Not skinny.

Another two, three weeks,
you'll be back to normal.

Next time you have a baby,

you let me know
how normal you feel afterward.

Can't you girls get in there

and give your mother a hand?

Maureen! These eggs are getting cold.

DANI: Daddy going
to his church again?

ABBY: Does he ever
Miss a Sunday?

Why does he call it church when it's not?

ABBY: Because when he
asked my daddy if he could marry me,

my daddy said only if he
agreed to find the Lord.

And he says it's a lot easier

finding the Lord out fishing

than in any church he's ever been in.

I think he's right.

Don't think
you're going to find the Lord with him.

I want you upstairs.

Brush your teeth, wash your face.

You're going to Sunday school.

(BELL RINGING)

Morning, Maureen.

Well, I declare,
you're just filling out all over, aren't you?

Morning, Abby.

How's the Trant family?

Oh, just fine.

Oh, and, Danielle,

you're just shooting up
like a weed, aren't you?

Just like a weed, that's me.

One of these days, that woman's

going to cut herself on her own tongue

and bleed to death.

Hello, Mrs. Trant.

Let me get that for you.

Hi, Maureen.

Hey there, little bit,
didn't recognize you with a dress on.

You look great, Maureen.

Be by to pick you up about 6:00?

That's right.

See you later, Mrs. Trant.

That Billy Sanders
thinks he's such a hotshot.

I don't see why you go with him.

I don't go with him, I go out with him.

Big difference.

Dani!

Dani, you come back here!

She's doing it again.

Whenever it's time to make lunch or do the
dishes, she disappears.

Well, the way she does dishes,

I just as soon she be gone.

(BIRD SCREECHING)

Do any good?

Oh, a little.

A little means you did fine.

Let me see what you got.

MATT: Where's Dani?

Off roaming around somewhere.

She's supposed to be here helping out.

She's getting too big
to be running around wild as a jack rabbit.

Used to be she was too little.

Now she's too big.

I guess she passed up "just right"

when nobody was looking.

Get out of here!

Who the hell do you think you are?

You get out of here!

This is private property.

Yeah, you're damn right it is,

and you're trespassing.

This is the Foster place.

So if your name isn't Foster,
you're trespassing.

It just so happens that it is.

Prove it!

Prove your name's Foster!

I don't have to prove nothing.

Nobody's lived on the Foster place

as long as I can remember.

Well, they do now!

So you just get your little butt out of here!

I'm not going.

If you're not out of here
by the time I count three,

I'll drag your ass out!

You're lying.

One...

Two...

Okay! Okay, I'm going!

Turn around and close your eyes.

Do it, damn you!

What are you ducking
behind the bushes for?

You ain't got nothing to hide.

MATT: Danielle!

I thought I made it clear

it's time you start
taking some responsibility around here.

Yes, sir.

I hope I don't have to bring it up again.

Yes, sir.

Your mama saved you some lunch.

Probably cold by now.

All right.

You making a cake?

Mm-hmm, and ice cream.

Must be having company.

Just some old friends of
your daddy's and mine.

Honey, go take a bath.
You smell like a pond.

ELVIS:
I will spend

My whole life through

Loving you

Just loving you

Winter, summer

Springtime, too

Loving you

Loving you...

(CHUCKLING)
I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

I hope you're finally done
hogging the bathroom!

What time you say
that dance's going to be over?

11:00, sir.

And it's how many miles
from the country club back here?

18.

You should have Maureen
home by 11:20 then.

Yes, sir, about.

Not about.

Yes, sir, 11:20.

Hello, Mrs. Trant. Maureen.

I'm ready.

Not until you go back inside and get
a jacket, you're not.

I don't have one that goes with this dress.

Then put on a different dress.

You got a full tank of gas?

BILLY: Yes, sir.

MATT: No detours,
no back roads, no liquor.

What time you got?

6:13.

You're responsible for my daughter

for the next five hours and seven minutes.

Yes, sir, Mr. Trant.

You don't have a thing to worry about.

Then neither will you.

ABBY: Have a nice time.

She'll be fine.

I remember his father at his age.

What?

I said, I remember his father at his age.

Mama, do I have to wear a skirt?

ABBY: Mm-hmm.

Who's so important that
I have to wear a skirt?

Young lady, when your mama tells you
to do something,

you don't stand around asking her reasons.

ABBY:
You smell good.

You mean I don't stink anymore?

(HORN HONKING)

MATT: They're here.

You boys come back here.

I warned you what would happen

if you two didn't behave.

Them two is as mean as snakes.

You haven't changed a bit.

Neither have you.

Come here to me, girl.

Oh.

You was in
the same shape last time I saw you.

I know.

Matt, don't you know
what keeps causing this?

Matt's after that boy
he's wanted all these years.

If you wanted a boy, you never should have

throwed me over for Abby.

Court, let Matt and Abby look at you.

They haven't seen you
since you was in diapers.

Those two heathens over yonder,
those are my last efforts.

Rob, say hello.

Dennis, quit
scratching yourself in front of people.

This is Danielle. We call her Dani.

That little bundle you're holding is Missy.

She rules the roost around here.

I'm sure she does.

Your kids turned out
prettier than you, Matt.

You really that shy, or you putting on?

Court, come on down here. Quit moseying.

MATT:
Hello, Court.

Mr. Trant.

Ma'am.

MATT: Those are some
fine-looking boys you got, Marie.

I hope to tell you.

Court, tie those two to a tree.

(LAUGHING)

Well, look at that corn.

I haven't got a thing in the ground.

MATT: It's corn,
but it's short.

ABBY: No ears
on that corn.

MATT: This here corn's good.
It's store-bought.

MARIE: I'm hungry enough
to eat one of these kids.

MATT: Might be about ready.

MARIE: Good.

Where's your Maureen?

Gone to a dance.

With Will Sanders' son.

Will Sanders?

What's old Will Sanders up to?

ABBY: Running his new
shirt factory.

And his big mouth, as usual.

Billy!

Billy!

Damn boy's deaf.

Billy!

Hey, Billy!

(CHUCKLES) Hey, boy.

My God, Billy, you got yourself
one pretty little woman tonight.

I hope he didn't drive too fast.

Honey, we're certainly
glad you could join us, aren't we, Ilene?

Maureen, it's so nice to see you.

Thank you for inviting me.

You're a sight for
this old boy's eyes, I'll tell you what.

I can't see how Billy got so lucky.

Y'all come in.
Let's find ourselves something to drink.

Let's just grab some food, then we'll
jump in the car, and get off by ourselves.

I got all dressed up to go to a dance
and that's what I'm going to do.

You want to go off, you can go by yourself.

BOY: Don't hit me!

Don't hit me!

MARIE: All right, you boys, I want you
to stay in the yard where I can see you.

And no tree climbing!

What goes up must come down.

I remember that much from school.

14 years?

Has it really been that long?

Mm-hmm.

I had Dani
about a month after y'all moved off.

We were really sorry to hear about Beau.

I always knew
the damn pipeline would kill him.

Only I thought
it would be a little at a time, you know?

Anyway, it seemed
like the best thing for the boys and me

was to come back here to the farm.

Yeah. You can always
get some sort of living out of good land.

MATT: That's it.

Have you ever wondered
what would have happened

if Matt and Beau hadn't switched
partners at that dance 20 years ago?

I wondered.

But, hell, honey,

you had a crush on Matt
from the time you was 12 years old.

13!

He was 17 years old.
He didn't know I was alive.

I thought I was going
to have to get naked, paint myself red,

and set off dynamite to get his attention.

Well...

You got him.

Yeah, I did.

Mama, this thing ain't working.

Well, what's wrong with it?

I don't know.

It needs some more salt.

Well, we're out of salt.

Matt, we're going to
need some more rock salt.

Daddy, I'll go with you.

MATT:
Court, could you run into town for me?

Sure.

Dani will show you where.

Dani!

Come on.

You don't have to come along.

I can find the store by myself.

It's an awful big town.

You always in the habit of going where
you're not wanted,

or is this a new thing with you?

You always act ugly to people you just met,

or you practicing up to be a horse's butt?

Little girls shouldn't talk nasty.

I'm not a little girl. I'm 14.

My goodness.

You're not much older. 16?

I'm 17.

My goodness.

(HORN HONKING)

You never give an inch, do you?

No.

Good. I like that.

Well, you coming?

Hey, wait!

Hey, thanks.

Hey, what is that?

RECORD PLAYER:
O-only you

Can make

All this world
seem right

Only you

Can make
the darkness bright...

Billy tells me

you're fixing to
leave for Duke in a couple of weeks.

That's right.

I get up to Raleigh-Durham

once or twice myself on business.

That's nice.

I'll have to look you up, take you out.

Show you around some.

I imagine they'll keep me
pretty busy studying.

I understand freshmen really
have to hit the books at Duke.

You can't study all the time.

Everybody has to have a little fun.

I just want you to understand

that I know that college
can be a real drain on a family's finances.

There's no need for
a pretty girl like you to go without anything.

Things get a little tight, I'll be there.

I just want you to know that.

Thank you. I'll manage just fine.

You won't mind if I
borrow my date for a while, will you?

Not at all. Not at all.

It's a pleasure.

Pleasure.

Sorry about my old man.

Let's just get out of here now.

Billy...

Billy, stop it! I mean it!

What is it with you, Maureen?

You said you wanted
to leave the dance, we left the dance.

I thought you wanted us to be alone.

I wanted to get away.

I was tired of being manhandled.

Can't you just hold me a little, Billy?

I don't think so, Maureen.

I don't think anybody can just
hold you a little.

- What do you want from me?
- I don't know.

I don't know, either and it's bothering me.

It's bothering me, too. Believe me.

I can't take it anymore.

I can't either.

Do you ever feel
like there's something missing?

Like there's something that
you've been waiting for all your life

and you wonder whether
you'll ever have it?

I'm feeling like that right now.

I think love should be so beautiful.

And powerful.

I want to be swept away by love.

Oh, Billy.

Billy, what are you doing?

Maureen, please.

I have to go home now.

No, you don't. We have a whole hour.

No, I have to go now!

(GROANING) What are you
trying to do to me, Maureen?

There are plenty of girls

who'd be dying to be in your spot.

Billy, I want to go home!

If I take you home now, I won't be back.

All right.

It's probably for the best.

(TIRES SQUEAL)

Good night, Mama. Good night, Daddy.

Good night.

ELVIS:
Well, that's all right, my mama

That's all right
for you

That's all right, my mama

Just any way you do

Well, that's all right

That's all right

That's all right, my mama

Any way you do

Well, Mama, she done told me

Papa done told me too

Son, that gal
you're fooling with

She ain't no good for you

But that's all right

That's all right

That's all right, my mama

Any way you do

(BOYS YELLING)

Rob! Dennis!

Cut that jack-assin' around
and get that stuff over here!

Aah!

Anything for me?

Not much here but flyers and bills.

Your friends will get around to writing.

Yeah, sure, when they have time.

Now, you're not going to be lonely forever.

Once school starts,
you'll be making new friends,

playing football.

Then you'll be the one
who doesn't have time to write.

I don't think I'll be playing much football.

You'll get this place under control.

We do what we have to do, son.

You got too much of your daddy in you

to let this job be bigger than you are.

We have to find a way to get a tractor.

Well, maybe we can find
a secondhand one that'll run.

Can we afford it?

Nope.

But we can't afford not to, either.

(HUMMING)

ABBY: Cut some beans
for Mama.

(SINGING) That's all right

That's all right

(HUMMING)

I'm going to the library.

That would be my guess.

Here.

What has come over her?

ABBY: I don't know.

That's all right

Yaaa!

(SPLASH)

Hey!

Hey yourself.

Come on in.

You just going to
stand there all day, or what?

Come up and jump with me.

All right.

So you do own a bathing suit.

- You ready?
- Sure.

Just hold on, okay?

Okay.

One...

Two...

Three...

- Go!
- Aah!

(HUMMING)

Maureen?

What's it like to kiss a boy?

It depends on the boy.

Are you talking
about anybody in particular?

I was just asking a question.

Can't anybody ask a question around here?

For starters,
you let him kiss you if you like him.

If you don't like him,
just tell him you're not that kind of a girl.

What if you like him a lot?

Then you won't have to think about it.

It'll all come to you.

You're not telling me anything.

I need to know what to do.

Okay.

Come here.

Come on.

First, you'll have to
kind of tilt your head to one side.

That's so you won't bump noses.

Okay.

Would you loosen up?
He's gonna think you're scared of him.

Not that much.

Okay.
Then kind of open your mouth just a little...

Uh-uh.

You wanted to know how.
I am telling you how.

Look, practice on your hand, okay?

That's it. Just keep practicing.

Well, what if I forget what to do?

Just do what you feel.

If I do what I feel,

I'll burst into a million pieces

and go flying out into space.

That sounds to me
like a good way not to get kissed twice.

Maureen, have you ever liked somebody so
much, it almost made you sick?

Billy Sanders makes me sick

every time I look at him.

You know what I mean.

It's like my stomach ties up in knots

and I can't breathe

and sometimes I think
I'm going to throw up.

Well, don't throw up, Dani.

Whatever you do, don't throw up.

Hey.

Thank you.

It's nice of you.

Well, I figured you'd be out here.

I figure I'll be out here
every day for a long time.

It sure is hot.

Sure is.

Yeah. It's going to get hotter, too.

It'd sure be nice to go for a swim.

I can't take off
and go swimming with you, Dani.

I got to make the most of the daylight.

I can go swimming after dark.

What are your folks going to say?

They won't say anything.

Okay.

ABBY:
How are things going at the Murphy house?

MATT:
We finished framing.

Now if get it blacked in
before we get a rain,

the rest of it oughta go pretty smooth.

You'll do fine.

The way it looks now,
you're gonna be praying for rain

by the end of this summer.

MATT:
Come on, honey.

Join us at the table.

MISSY: Okay.

MATT:
Dani, put your napkin in your lap.

Court!

Court!

Aah!

Hey, kid.

I'm not a kid.

Sure you are.

You're my favorite kid
in the whole world, though.

Come on!

Hi.

Hello.

Come on.

Come on.

Aah!

Court, what's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

What did I do?

You didn't do nothing.

Just tell me what I did wrong.

I said you didn't do anything.

Have you ever been kissed before?

Sure. Lots of times.

Yeah, I'll bet.

You almost got more than kissed, little girl.

I'm not a little girl.

You are, too, Dani!

You're a little girl, and you don't know
what you're doing.

One of these days,
somebody's going to get your cherry,

but it's not going to be me.

Because I don't think I'd like myself
very much for it.

(THUNDER)

Dani.

(THUNDER)

(BABY BABBLES)

Dani!

Dani!

Dani!

Dani!

Dani!

Dani!

Dani!

Mama!

Mama!

Dani!

Dani!

Mama!

Abigail?

Mama?

My God!

Abigail?

Ohh!

Ow!

Dani. Where's Dani?

Get my keys.

Where were you?

What were you doing?

Call the hospital. Tell them I'm on my way.

Get in the house!

Get inside the house now!

How is she?

I told you to go home.

- Are they set up in I.C.?
- Yes, Doctor.

Somebody tell me something.

Go home, Matt. Please.

Goddamnit, Doc, tell me!

Abigail has a concussion.

She's got toxemia, which means

her body's not throwing off poisons.
It's collecting it.

There's not a damn thing
you can do here except get in the way.

So go home! I want you out of here now.

Daddy, don't!

Daddy!

Daddy!

(DANI SOBBING)

Ma?

Just stay here.

Mom asked me to bring this stuff by.

Some homemade soup and, uh...

Yeast bread, and chocolate pie.

Mom's got the world beat
making chocolate pie.

Where's everybody at?

Hospital.

I'm real sorry about your mama.

I'm sorry about
the way I acted last night, too,

about the way I said everything.

You don't have to be sorry.

I thought we could still
talk sometime, you know.

I figure if we can talk and be friends,

I can get you to understand.

I already understand.

Thanks for bringing the food over, Court.

That was a good supper Marie sent over.

Marie's boy bring it over?

Court?

Yes, sir.

He your swimming partner last night?

Yes, sir.

Did anything happen?

No.

Don't you mean "No, sir"?

No, sir.

Nothing happened, sir.

I saw the way you looked last night.

Did that boy try anything with you?

No, sir.

No, siree. Not Court Foster.

MATT: Abby?

I...

I know.

I love you, too.

This...

All of this is my fault.

If I hadn't been
so dead set on getting a son...

Oh, honey.

You're not trying
to take credit for all of this

by yourself, are you?

Because I seem to remember

helping out a little bit.

If I would have lost you, Abby...

Mama says I can come in tomorrow

and let Maureen stay home with Missy.

That's good.

Daddy...

I know you feel bad
about taking the strap to me,

but I'm not mad or anything.

You were scared,

worried about Mama and the baby.

I know that.

And I'm just awful sorry for what I did.

And for everything.

Hey, Court!

Hey!

Hey yourself.

Still want to be friends?

I'd still consider it.

Well, I was just wondering

where you do your best considering.

Aah!

I don't have a suit.

Ha! I won't look.

Yee-haw!

Friends, okay?

Friends.

Okay.

You can look now.

And what makes you think
I'd want to do that?

You did in the water.

I did not.

You could've fooled me.

Ow.

Court...

I want to know you.

You do know me.

I want to know you more.

I want to know you all I can.

What do you want to know?

I want to know...

Your hopes.

My hopes.

Well...

I hope your boobs will get bigger
and your butt will fill out.

Court!

Seems like it always
comes to this, doesn't it?

Have you kissed a lot of girls?

Not a whole lot.

I want you to
be the first boy to ever kiss me.

I thought you'd been kissed so many times.

How was that?

Perfect.

MATT: Dani?

You like that
boy of Marie's a lot, don't you?

But you know
you're not old enough to date.

Yes, sir.

You want to see Court, do it right.

Invite him over here to the house.

I'm not saying you can't
go to the pond anymore

or that you can't go there with Court.

Just bring him around once in a while

where I can get a good look in his eyes.

Yes, sir.

All right.

(KNOCKING)

Good to see you, Court.

Good to see you, too, Mr. Trant.

How's your mama?

COURT: She's fine.

She got a job at the shirt factory.

That's good.
She always was a good worker.

Yes, sir.

Dani tells me that your wife's doing better.

That's right. Better every day.

Well...

You kids have a nice time.
I'm going to see Abby.

Your sister will be here shortly.

You can sit down if you like.

Sure.

What's the matter with you?

Nothing's the matter.

I'm letting you kiss me.

Weren't you supposed to let me try first?

(CAR APPROACHING)

Hi there.

Hi.

Let me help you with those things.

Thank you. I'd appreciate that.

You must be Court.

I've been meaning to come by

to visit with your mother and say hi.

But I've been busy
getting things ready for school

that I just didn't get around to it.

But I will do it, I promise.

Tell your mother that?

Sure. She'll be glad to see you.

Thanks.

Any time.

You can set these things
down, and I can put them up.

COURT:
You must be Maureen.

I forgot to say that, didn't I?

You two can go back to whatever it is
you were doing. I can handle this.

Court, you want to go walking?

MAUREEN: Why don't you two
do that, and, uh...

I'll have dinner ready
by the time you get back.

Court, you're welcome
to stay for supper if you'd like.

Isn't he, Dani?

Sure.

Great.

That's fine. I can set the table.

Just show me where the things are.

I think we ought to
have supper in the dining room tonight,

don't you, Dani?

Whatever.

MAUREEN: Well Court, I guess
the last time that you and I saw each other,

we were both
running around in our diapers.

COURT: I'll bet
that was a sight.

Mama says I used to
beat you up regularly with my sand pail.

I don't think I'd try that these days.

Everybody dig in.

I, uh, imagine that you
work up quite an appetite

handling the farm all by yourself like that.

It's a lot of work.

I can't imagine having the guts

to tackle a job that big.

Yeah, well, sometimes I wonder

if I've bitten off more than I can chew.

I bet you'll do just fine.

(CLUNK)

Are you okay?

Sure.

I'm just fine.

Well, thanks for dinner.

You're welcome. It was nice meeting you.

Good night.

Oh, good night, kid.

Court seems real nice.

He kiss you yet?

All the time.

Is he a good kisser?

He's all right.

Hey.

I was just going down to the pond.

You want to go?

Dani, I've got work
up to my eyeballs and no end in sight.

There's no one here to tell me how to do it
or make sure that I do it.

It all depends on me.

I just can't be there
every time you want to go play.

You don't have to sound so hateful.

Dani, I don't have time for all this!

Sorry I took your time.

Well, maybe if you were
a little bit older, you could understand.

If I were just a little bit older,
I could do everything, couldn't I, Court?

I love you, Court.

Don't.

Don't love me now

when things are so mixed up.

I've got more than
I can say grace over right now.

You look real nice.

COURT: I think I'll go out
for a little while.

You going over to the Trants' again?

I might.

I saw Maureen at the hospital today.

That girl sure is turning out.

You see Matt,

you tell him to holler at me
if he needs anything, all right?

Yes, ma'am. Okay, guys, let's go! Get out.
Come on.

I'll see you later, okay?

My, my, my.

Night-night.

Okay, we're going to go night-night.

Oh, there we go. There we go.

(CAR DOOR OPENS)

Here's your doll.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

MAUREEN: Court.

Hello.

Hi.

Dani is at the hospital if you want to run on
down and visit with her.

I don't think so.

It, uh, sure was a nice day.

Yeah.

Looks like it's going to be a nice night, too.

- Looks like.
- Yeah, looks like.

(RADIO STATIC)

MATT: I'll sure be glad when I can leave this
place and take you with me.

Why don't you go home
and get some sleep for a change?

I'll see you in the morning.

You call me if anything happens.

DANI:
Yes, sir. I will.

(MUSIC PLAYS)

Thanks.

So, do you like Elvis?

Sure. Who doesn't?

Dani absolutely adores him.

Well, she did until you came along.

You...
Pretty well shot Elvis out of the saddle.

I can't believe my little sister

is grown-up enough to have a boyfriend.

It's not quite exactly like that.

I mean...

It's more like we're sort of buddies.

Just... Real close buddies.

Does Dani know that?

COURT: I tried to tell her.

You like her a lot?

Of course I like her.

I mean, she's...

Special.

Oh.

Yeah, she, um...

She is that.

But what if I met someone else...

Someone special in a different sort of way?

Someone...

She's my sister.

If you...

Need a friend,

I make a pretty good one.

A friend's not what I need right now.

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

You better go.

(RING)

(RING)

Daddy! The hospital called.
Mama's having the baby.

All right. I'm on my way.

Okay.

ABBY:
I'm glad you're the one here with me.

DANI: Me, too, mama.

You're not frightened, are you?

No, mama.

Good.

DANI: Are you scared?

Not a bit.

I've done this before, remember?

Aah.

Lord, Court.

(BABY CRYING)

Hope you ordered a girl, Abigail.

Well, I know someone who's
going to be mighty disappointed.

Matt had his heart set on a boy.

Want me to put it back?

God, no.

DANI: Court!

Hey, Court! Where are you?

Court!

We've got a girl!

She's just
the tiniest thing and perfect all over,

except she's baldheaded.

And I was there for the whole thing.

They didn't actually let me go in,

but I was there.

It was beautiful.

Anyway...

I couldn't wait to tell you about the baby.

And I wanted to apologize

for the last time I saw you.

I was being unreasonable.

But when two people
really care about each other...

Well, when two people really care...

They try to understand things,

even when it's hard.

Don't you think so?

Yeah.

Sure.

Well, I'll see you, okay?

Yeah.

I never thought I could feel this way.

It's like,

I've been waiting
for you to come back and find me, and...

Now I'm afraid it'll all go away.

I'm not going anywhere.

Come on, Dani.

Unlock...

Door.

He's unlocking it. Daddy's going to open it.

Come on, Missy. Let's put the baby to bed.

Maureen!

Maureen?

Where could she have gotten off to?

She knew we'd be back about noon.

(MAUREEN LAUGHING)

(BOTH LAUGHING)

I love you.

I love you, too.

I have to go.

What are we going to do?

Don't think about that.

We have to think about it.

Not yet.
We don't have to think about it yet.

Yes, we do. I have to go.

I'll see you later. Court, come on.
I have to go.

Stop it.

You're going to make me late. I have to go.

Dani, I need to talk to you.

MATT: Maureen!

Maureen, can you get in here, please?

Where have you been? The baby's home.

All right, boys.

Got to take your brother his lunch.

He forgot it again.

Boy can't remember his name these days.

I want you to sit there,
eat your lunch, and no messing around,

you hear me?

Do you hear me?

BOY: Yes, ma'am.

Court?

Court!

MARIE: Court!

(MOANING)

Baby boy.

(SOBBING)

Court?

Go away, Dani.

Go away, Dani! Go away!

Daddy!

- Daddy!
- Dani?

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Dani, what's the matter?

What's the matter?

It's Court.

- What?
- The tractor...

It's Court.

Help!

Abby!

Abby!

No!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

(SOBBING)

(SOBBING)

(SOBBING)

Dani...

I'm sorry.

We didn't mean to hurt you, Dani.

I love you...

And I need us still to be close somehow.

I don't want to be close
to you anymore, Maureen.

I don't ever want to be close to you again.

- Mama?
- Mm-hmm.

I don't want to be at church today.

Can I go with Daddy, please?

All right.

(SNIFFLES)

Mama, I loved him.

I don't know how to stay alive without him.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

You know, Dani...

You and Maureen
are going to be sisters for a long time.

Don't ask me to forgive her...

Because I can't.

You've got a right to grieve, Dani.

You got a right to be hurt.

But if you get
so wrapped up in your own pain

that you can't see anyone else's,

then you might
just as well dig yourself a hole...

And pull the dirt in on top of you,

because you're never
going to be much use to yourself...

Or anyone else.

You don't know what she did.

I know enough.

I know hating your sister

is not going to bring Court back.

Maureen's been good to you all your days.

Remember that.

She's hurting bad right now...

Hurting as much as you.

Maybe more.

DANI: (ECHOING) Hey!

COURT: (ECHOING)
Hey yourself!

You ready?

Just hold on, okay?

One...

Two...

Three...

Go!

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

DANI: Maureen...

Is it always going to hurt this bad?

MAUREEN:
Mama says it won't.

DANI:
I hope she's right.

I hope so.

You know...

Sometimes...

I think that nothing's ever
going to make sense again.

Maybe life's not supposed to make sense.

Doesn't that scare you?

Yes, it does.

DANI: I wish I could still talk
to the man in the moon...

Don't you?

MAUREEN: It would be nice.

DANI: Maureen?

MAUREEN: What?

DANI: Will we always
talk to each other?

MAUREEN: Always.
