1
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,972
You're gonna actually drive this
deathtrap from Tennessee to California?
2
00:00:31,067 --> 00:00:34,043
- You're sayin'I'm not?
- I'm sayin'you won't make it past that tree.
3
00:00:34,139 --> 00:00:38,456
- Hey, Novalee, you plannin' on leavin' today?
- In the bathroom, WillyJack.
4
00:00:38,552 --> 00:00:40,531
Why don't she just move in
to the damn bathroom?
5
00:00:40,566 --> 00:00:43,345
- Get all those pictures and knickknacks.
- I'm ready.
6
00:00:43,442 --> 00:00:46,032
- I'm ready to go.
- Now, hold on, hold on.
7
00:00:46,128 --> 00:00:48,525
Now I gotta go.
8
00:00:48,620 --> 00:00:53,095
- We'll miss you, Novalee.
- You know the floor's missin'.
9
00:00:53,129 --> 00:00:56,581
WillyJack got the whole car for 80
bucks. He had to fix everything on it.
10
00:00:56,677 --> 00:01:02,144
And here's the best part.
No fives.
11
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,446
- You and your fives.
- What fives?
12
00:01:04,541 --> 00:01:09,912
On my fifth birthday, my mama ran off with a
baseball umpire named Fred and never came back.
13
00:01:09,945 --> 00:01:12,983
After I dropped out of school
and was waitin'tables at Red's,
14
00:01:13,079 --> 00:01:15,155
one of the regulars there
named Gladys went crazy.
15
00:01:15,188 --> 00:01:17,777
When I tried to calm her down
she jumped at me with a steak knife...
16
00:01:17,873 --> 00:01:20,559
and cut me from my wrist
to my elbow.
17
00:01:20,655 --> 00:01:22,860
And what's that
got to do with fives?
18
00:01:22,956 --> 00:01:24,970
It took 55 stitches
to close her up.
19
00:01:25,066 --> 00:01:26,985
I don't like fives.
20
00:01:30,245 --> 00:01:33,795
- That's it. Let's hit it. Let's go, let's go!
- Hon,
21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,493
will you take a picture of us
with my new camera?
22
00:01:41,947 --> 00:01:46,644
- Wait!
- All around, let's go. Come on, come on!
23
00:01:46,744 --> 00:01:50,099
- I'm gonna miss you. Call me, okay?
- All right. Bye.
24
00:01:52,592 --> 00:01:54,766
All right. Bye.
25
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:57,388
- Jesus, finally. It's already 5:00.
- 5:00?
26
00:02:23,285 --> 00:02:26,639
I hope we can a place to live
that overlooks the ocean.
27
00:02:26,673 --> 00:02:29,998
Hell, Novalee, you can't see
the ocean from Bakersfield.
28
00:02:30,032 --> 00:02:33,129
Well- well,
maybe a pond then.
29
00:02:33,162 --> 00:02:35,911
I wanna get one of those patio tables
with an umbrella over it...
30
00:02:35,944 --> 00:02:40,163
where we can sit with the baby and drink
chocolate milk and watch the sun go down.
31
00:02:42,083 --> 00:02:44,864
I've never lived anyplace
that didn't have wheels under it.
32
00:02:45,917 --> 00:02:48,989
Hey. Hey!
33
00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:58,675
Sometimes I wonder
34
00:02:58,770 --> 00:03:01,550
Will I ever make it home
35
00:03:04,046 --> 00:03:07,593
Sometimes I wonder
36
00:03:07,690 --> 00:03:10,280
Will I ever make it home
37
00:03:13,636 --> 00:03:16,419
I been gone so long
Hey!
38
00:03:18,816 --> 00:03:22,553
Hey, Novalee, wake up!
You sound like a damn pig.
39
00:03:24,667 --> 00:03:27,638
Jesus. What the hell's
the matter with you?
40
00:03:28,980 --> 00:03:31,092
And where are your shoes?
41
00:03:38,382 --> 00:03:40,394
That's just great.
That's great.
42
00:03:41,546 --> 00:03:44,424
My feet are swollen.
I had to take'em off.
43
00:03:46,150 --> 00:03:49,026
Ooh!
44
00:03:49,122 --> 00:03:51,138
Wanna feel the baby?
45
00:03:52,385 --> 00:03:54,205
Here.
46
00:03:55,452 --> 00:03:58,331
- Feel that?
- No.
47
00:04:00,823 --> 00:04:04,469
Right there.
Feel that little bomp-bomp-bomp?
48
00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:07,537
That's where the heart is.
49
00:04:10,608 --> 00:04:13,197
Couldn't prove it by me.
50
00:04:19,046 --> 00:04:21,602
- Ooh!
- Would ya- The hell-
51
00:04:21,636 --> 00:04:24,419
Wal-Mart.
I can go to the bathroom.
52
00:04:32,954 --> 00:04:36,981
- All right. Hurry up.
- Hon, I'm gonna need some money.
53
00:04:37,076 --> 00:04:41,011
- They gonna charge you to pee?
- I have to get some house shoes.
54
00:04:41,106 --> 00:04:43,694
I gotta get some kind of shoes.
55
00:04:46,669 --> 00:04:49,354
- All right. Get you some house shoes.
- Come on.
56
00:04:49,450 --> 00:04:52,233
Get you some green
polky-dot house shoes.
57
00:04:53,479 --> 00:04:56,162
That way everyone will be
sure to notice you.
58
00:05:03,069 --> 00:05:05,373
- Bathroom, bathroom?
- All the way to the back.
59
00:05:05,406 --> 00:05:07,290
Thank you.
60
00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:13,524
You all got yourself a beautiful child
here. Be an award-winning picture.
61
00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:17,456
I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up
on a cereal box. Steve, look at me.
62
00:05:17,552 --> 00:05:20,046
- Say "cheese" for me.
- Cheese.
63
00:05:28,869 --> 00:05:30,691
Do you mind?
64
00:05:46,131 --> 00:05:48,148
Thank you.
65
00:05:56,491 --> 00:05:58,984
Mommy!
66
00:06:07,427 --> 00:06:10,685
- Ma'am, here's your change.
- Hmm? Oh, sorry.
67
00:06:10,781 --> 00:06:13,370
Five dollars and 55 cents.
68
00:06:14,427 --> 00:06:18,741
- No!
- Ma'am!
69
00:06:53,174 --> 00:06:55,955
Ma'am? Ma'am?
70
00:06:57,299 --> 00:06:59,215
You left these
at the counter.
71
00:07:02,095 --> 00:07:04,013
And your change.
72
00:07:06,505 --> 00:07:09,959
- Are you all right?
- Uh-huh.
73
00:07:11,206 --> 00:07:14,623
I... just-
74
00:07:14,656 --> 00:07:19,069
My boyfriend...
went to get the car fixed.
75
00:07:20,891 --> 00:07:23,290
He'll pick me up.
76
00:07:23,386 --> 00:07:26,838
Well, have a nice day.
77
00:08:03,478 --> 00:08:07,216
Well, Ruth Ann Mott.
78
00:08:07,311 --> 00:08:10,574
Why, honey,just look at you!
Little Ruth Ann Mott.
79
00:08:10,671 --> 00:08:14,025
Honey, I haven't seen you since your mama passed. What's that
- 10, 11 years?
80
00:08:14,121 --> 00:08:17,480
- I'm not- - Don't you
remember me? I'm Sister Husband.
81
00:08:17,576 --> 00:08:22,944
Oh,you remember me. You used to call me
"Telma"because you couldn't say Thelma.
82
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,304
Can you say "Thelma"?
83
00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:28,986
- Thelma.
- Good!
84
00:08:29,083 --> 00:08:33,496
Oh, Lord, look at you-
havin' a baby.
85
00:08:33,592 --> 00:08:36,468
- So, you just move back home, Ruth Ann?
- See, I'm not who-
86
00:08:36,564 --> 00:08:39,922
Oh, you know what they say:
" Home is where your history begins.
87
00:08:40,018 --> 00:08:44,044
Home is where they catch you
when you fall."
88
00:08:44,139 --> 00:08:46,060
That's what the late
Brother Husband used to say.
89
00:08:46,093 --> 00:08:48,935
Brother Husband-
was he your husband?
90
00:08:49,032 --> 00:08:52,931
No, he was my brother,
a real man of God.
91
00:08:52,965 --> 00:08:57,184
- You read the Bible, Ruthie?
- Not as much as I should.
92
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,871
Good.
I think that's good.
93
00:08:59,968 --> 00:09:02,267
Folks read too much of it.
They just get confused.
94
00:09:02,364 --> 00:09:06,010
That's why I like to hand out
just one chapter at a time.
95
00:09:06,105 --> 00:09:11,091
That way, folks can deal with
their confusion as it comes.
96
00:09:12,340 --> 00:09:16,078
Come on. Come on.
You're comin' with me. Come on.
97
00:09:16,174 --> 00:09:19,978
I'm not gonna let you
get away empty-handed.
98
00:09:20,012 --> 00:09:24,710
Now, on behalf of the Merchants
and Businessmen's Association...
99
00:09:24,806 --> 00:09:26,630
of the city
of Sequoyah, Oklahoma,
100
00:09:26,726 --> 00:09:30,623
I do present you with this
basket of gifts and merchandise.
101
00:09:30,658 --> 00:09:34,207
- Thank you.
- Looky here, Ruth Ann, you got, um, discount coupons...
102
00:09:34,303 --> 00:09:38,042
and matches, a map of the city,
emery boards- oh, oh, yeah.
103
00:09:38,138 --> 00:09:41,784
Now, you see this little appointment
book? I ran out of these last week,
104
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,626
so I had to put two or three
of my own appointments in this one,
105
00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:47,634
but if you're not an alcoholic, you'll
know those meetin's aren't for you.
106
00:09:47,729 --> 00:09:51,374
- No, ma'am, I'm not.
- Good. I think that's good.
107
00:09:51,469 --> 00:09:54,923
Oh, yeah, one more thing.
108
00:09:56,553 --> 00:10:01,253
- What is that?
- This is a buckeye tree. Brings you good luck.
109
00:10:01,349 --> 00:10:04,609
Here, take it.
There.
110
00:10:04,704 --> 00:10:07,967
Well, good-bye, Ruth Ann.
111
00:10:08,063 --> 00:10:12,569
You know it was real nice to see you
again. Hmm. And welcome home!
112
00:10:17,078 --> 00:10:20,724
I'm in the phone book.
You come and see me anytime you want.
113
00:10:20,758 --> 00:10:22,737
And bring that baby.
114
00:11:05,128 --> 00:11:07,717
Excuse me.
115
00:11:07,812 --> 00:11:10,884
- Would you like a picture of your baby?
- Hmm?
116
00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:14,718
- I'm not- I mean, I'm still-
- Oh, well, I mean, after.
117
00:11:14,814 --> 00:11:18,173
- Oh!
- Of course.
118
00:11:18,269 --> 00:11:21,048
Wow! What kind
of camera is that?
119
00:11:21,145 --> 00:11:22,969
This is a Rollei.
120
00:11:23,065 --> 00:11:26,132
- There aren't many made like this here.
- It's a beauty.
121
00:11:26,166 --> 00:11:28,625
My name is Moses-
Moses Whitecotton.
122
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,737
Novalee Nation.
123
00:11:30,833 --> 00:11:33,037
Novalee Nation-
that's a good strong name.
124
00:11:33,133 --> 00:11:35,726
You know,
a name's important.
125
00:11:35,822 --> 00:11:38,473
Have you picked out a name
for your baby yet?
126
00:11:38,506 --> 00:11:42,148
Well, I was thinkin' about
"Wendi" with an "I"
127
00:11:42,244 --> 00:11:44,837
Oh, don't you dare.
128
00:11:44,932 --> 00:11:48,766
Give that baby a name that means
somethin', a good, sturdy name.
129
00:11:48,862 --> 00:11:52,316
Here.
130
00:11:52,413 --> 00:11:56,538
I'm here the first Friday of every
month, 12:00 to 6:00. Take care.
131
00:11:58,934 --> 00:12:02,577
And remember: Give that baby a name
that means somethin', you hear?
132
00:12:03,730 --> 00:12:06,032
I will, I promise.
133
00:12:08,333 --> 00:12:10,219
Attention, Wal-Mart shoppers.
134
00:12:10,253 --> 00:12:13,416
It is 9:00,
and Wal-Mart is closing.
135
00:12:13,512 --> 00:12:17,254
Please bring your final selections
to the checkout counters.
136
00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:20,992
Wal-Mart will open again
at 9:00 tomorrow morning,
137
00:12:21,088 --> 00:12:24,543
and, as always,
thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.
138
00:12:30,199 --> 00:12:33,270
Oh. Oh.
139
00:13:14,128 --> 00:13:16,717
You said you was the king of love
140
00:13:40,599 --> 00:13:43,092
- Hi.
- Hey.
141
00:13:43,187 --> 00:13:45,684
You, uh-
you need a hand?
142
00:13:46,738 --> 00:13:48,560
I need a lift.
143
00:13:50,764 --> 00:13:52,781
So, where you goin'?
144
00:13:52,877 --> 00:13:56,710
Anywhere but here.
Where you goin'?
145
00:13:56,744 --> 00:13:59,590
- Vegas.
- Cool.
146
00:14:01,987 --> 00:14:04,576
Whoa-whoa-whoa.
Hey, hey. No. No.
147
00:14:14,455 --> 00:14:16,277
Thanks.
148
00:15:37,514 --> 00:15:42,018
We could wait on that plan
make all new strategy
149
00:15:42,119 --> 00:15:46,336
And when it hits the fan
make it what we want it to be
150
00:15:46,431 --> 00:15:51,995
And wanna get higher then
higher than you've ever been
151
00:15:52,091 --> 00:15:54,967
What about you
What about you
152
00:15:55,063 --> 00:15:59,667
Shake it up, shake it down
You can feel it all around
153
00:16:14,437 --> 00:16:18,179
I know that your memory lives
154
00:16:18,275 --> 00:16:20,862
- You know, you're almost out of gas.
- Yeah.
155
00:16:20,959 --> 00:16:25,469
Some son of a bitch stole my wallet last
night right out of my damn hotel room.
156
00:16:28,823 --> 00:16:31,318
Maybe this'll help.
157
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:33,237
Hey!
158
00:16:36,495 --> 00:16:40,716
Well, I tell you what.
You want it?
159
00:16:40,812 --> 00:16:43,884
Glide on over here
and get it.
160
00:16:43,980 --> 00:16:46,473
Maybe I will.
161
00:16:46,568 --> 00:16:49,252
Maybe you'll get yourself
a nice big surprise.
162
00:16:58,174 --> 00:17:00,858
Shit.
163
00:17:00,954 --> 00:17:05,846
$218 in your pocket and 14 cartons
of Winston Light 100s...
164
00:17:05,941 --> 00:17:09,105
in a plastic sack
in the trunk of your car.
165
00:17:09,202 --> 00:17:13,326
By the strangest damn coincidence,
that's exactly what someone stole...
166
00:17:13,424 --> 00:17:16,395
from the 7-11 store
about two hours ago.
167
00:17:16,492 --> 00:17:20,233
Not to mention-
Jolene, how old are you these days?
168
00:17:20,329 --> 00:17:23,588
- Fourteen.
- Oh? Fourteen.
169
00:18:05,117 --> 00:18:08,188
- I cleaned the bathroom the other day.
- And you did such a good job...
170
00:18:08,284 --> 00:18:11,064
you get to do it again!
171
00:18:44,344 --> 00:18:46,741
Hey, sweet thing.
172
00:19:10,816 --> 00:19:12,830
Comes down
to just one moment
173
00:19:12,925 --> 00:19:15,803
No way
you can control it
174
00:19:15,899 --> 00:19:19,927
Somehow your heart will know
the place and time
175
00:19:20,022 --> 00:19:24,052
It won't change your world
but it just might change your life
176
00:20:24,859 --> 00:20:27,735
- What do you want?
- Uh,
177
00:20:27,831 --> 00:20:30,901
I'm lookin' for-
for a book.
178
00:20:30,997 --> 00:20:32,915
What kind of book?
179
00:20:33,011 --> 00:20:35,886
About- about trees.
180
00:20:36,944 --> 00:20:39,054
Trees?
181
00:20:39,150 --> 00:20:41,162
Yeah.
182
00:20:42,697 --> 00:20:45,672
You know.
183
00:20:45,768 --> 00:20:49,506
Forestry? Environment? Agriculture? Botany?
What do you want to know about trees?
184
00:20:49,602 --> 00:20:53,248
Well, a few weeks ago
somebody gave me a buckeye tree.
185
00:20:53,343 --> 00:20:57,053
Buckeye-horse chestnut-
186
00:20:57,086 --> 00:21:01,399
belongs to the genus Aesculus,
of the family Hippocastanaccae.
187
00:21:01,495 --> 00:21:05,717
I- I think it's dyin'- my tree. I could
show it to the people who gave it to me,
188
00:21:05,751 --> 00:21:08,752
but I'm embarrassed to let them
see how sick I let it get.
189
00:21:08,786 --> 00:21:11,759
- There. Look up "buckeye" in the index.
- The what?
190
00:21:11,855 --> 00:21:14,731
I'll start slower.
These are called "books."
191
00:21:14,826 --> 00:21:17,415
- Are you still with me? Here.
- Hey.
192
00:21:19,719 --> 00:21:23,267
Uh, there. See? Read.
193
00:21:23,362 --> 00:21:26,817
" Leaf rot. Root damage.
Nit- Nitro-
194
00:21:26,913 --> 00:21:30,555
" Nit- Nitrogen d- def-
195
00:21:30,589 --> 00:21:34,201
defic-"
196
00:21:34,297 --> 00:21:38,135
- "Defic-"
- Deficiency! Keep reading.
197
00:21:38,231 --> 00:21:40,724
Also buckeye-
198
00:21:40,819 --> 00:21:42,737
Mm-hmm.
199
00:21:48,012 --> 00:21:50,122
Excuse me.
200
00:21:59,044 --> 00:22:01,727
Well, I don't know
how I could have made such a mistake.
201
00:22:01,823 --> 00:22:04,508
You don't look like Ruth Ann
at all, do you?
202
00:22:04,604 --> 00:22:07,387
It's good to see you again, darlin'.
You come right on in.
203
00:22:07,483 --> 00:22:11,988
I want you to meet
my gentleman, Mr. Sprock.
204
00:22:12,083 --> 00:22:15,059
- Mr. Sprock? Mr. Sprock.
- Hmm?
205
00:22:15,155 --> 00:22:19,855
- Oh, how do you do?
- Buttermilk?
206
00:22:27,048 --> 00:22:31,170
Dear Lord, we pray
that You will bless this food...
207
00:22:31,205 --> 00:22:33,570
to the nourishment
of our bodies,
208
00:22:33,666 --> 00:22:38,173
and we pray, Lord, for a safe delivery
and a healthy child...
209
00:22:38,206 --> 00:22:40,572
for our new friend.
210
00:22:40,668 --> 00:22:45,078
And we ask forgiveness, Lord, for the
fornication that Mr. Sprock and me...
211
00:22:45,174 --> 00:22:48,052
have committed again
this afternoon.
212
00:22:48,147 --> 00:22:50,353
Amen.
213
00:22:50,449 --> 00:22:52,941
- Amen.
- Amen.
214
00:22:57,642 --> 00:23:00,809
I'll come by every day to take care
of it. You won't have to do a thing.
215
00:23:00,905 --> 00:23:03,780
- Oh, good. - Now, if it's
any kind of bother, I could-
216
00:23:03,877 --> 00:23:07,235
Oh, no, no, darlin'. I meant
it's good that you'll be by every day.
217
00:23:07,269 --> 00:23:12,028
- Why, we'd sure be glad to see you.
- Oh.
218
00:23:12,124 --> 00:23:14,045
Although, you know,
I have to say,
219
00:23:14,141 --> 00:23:17,400
I don't know what kind of people you're
staying with that won't let you plant a tree.
220
00:23:17,496 --> 00:23:20,563
- Well, they're- - And what's gonna
happen when you have your baby?
221
00:23:22,005 --> 00:23:25,359
I- I'm not sure.
222
00:23:25,456 --> 00:23:27,660
Let me help you there,
Mr. Sprock.
223
00:23:29,390 --> 00:23:33,417
- Hey, Rosita! How you doin' today?
- Good!
224
00:23:37,925 --> 00:23:40,226
You know, the book in the "libary"
said the highest spot in the yard...
225
00:23:40,322 --> 00:23:44,543
- is the best place to plant the tree.
- Oh, you must have met Forney.
226
00:23:44,638 --> 00:23:46,459
Who?
227
00:23:48,668 --> 00:23:52,886
- You all right, Mr. Sprock?
- Oh, I'm fine. A little emphysema.
228
00:23:52,982 --> 00:23:57,874
- It's nothin'serious.
- You know, he makes that noise whenever he exerts himself?
229
00:23:58,928 --> 00:24:01,230
- Who's "Thorny"?
- Forney.
230
00:24:01,325 --> 00:24:05,226
Forney Hull- brilliant man,
lives in the "libary."
231
00:24:05,259 --> 00:24:08,135
- Brilliant.
- There's no tellin' what he might have done in this world...
232
00:24:08,231 --> 00:24:10,151
if he'd been allowed
to finish his schoolin'.
233
00:24:10,247 --> 00:24:13,280
Why didn't he?
234
00:24:13,314 --> 00:24:15,232
The Lord gives us obstacles.
235
00:27:06,914 --> 00:27:09,119
I hope you're not hungry,
'cause it's Tuesday.
236
00:27:11,323 --> 00:27:14,107
Friday is the best breakfast day-
they have bacon.
237
00:27:14,203 --> 00:27:17,270
- I'm Lexie- Lexie Coop.
- Hi.
238
00:27:17,366 --> 00:27:20,146
- Hi.
- Where'd all these flowers come from?
239
00:27:20,242 --> 00:27:22,546
All over.
You're a big celebrity.
240
00:27:22,642 --> 00:27:25,230
They're reporters here.
Lean up.
241
00:27:27,726 --> 00:27:29,644
See?
242
00:27:32,423 --> 00:27:35,493
- TV! They've been here all night.
- What for?
243
00:27:35,589 --> 00:27:38,370
For you!
They wanna talk to you.
244
00:27:38,465 --> 00:27:40,287
- Me?
- Of course.
245
00:27:40,383 --> 00:27:42,783
Everybody wants to talk
to the mother of the Wal-Mart baby.
246
00:27:42,879 --> 00:27:46,330
- Am I in trouble? Are they gonna arrest me?
- What for?
247
00:27:46,427 --> 00:27:50,326
- For livin' in the Wal-Mart.
- Arrest you?
248
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:53,969
Is the hospital gonna keep my baby?
Where is she?
249
00:27:54,003 --> 00:27:56,882
- Why would the hospital keep your baby?
- Because I can't pay.
250
00:27:56,977 --> 00:28:01,291
It's like- it's like a restaurant- when
you can't pay, they make you wash dishes.
251
00:28:01,387 --> 00:28:04,650
I don't know what
they're gonna make me do.
252
00:28:04,684 --> 00:28:08,293
- No. No.
- I'm broke. I got nothin'.
253
00:28:08,388 --> 00:28:12,035
I have no family, no job,
and I got a baby.
254
00:28:13,185 --> 00:28:15,969
I know what you need.
255
00:28:19,515 --> 00:28:23,833
- Yes, you're okay.
Look who we're going to see.
256
00:28:23,929 --> 00:28:26,709
Say, "It's about time."
257
00:28:35,723 --> 00:28:38,411
Does that help?
258
00:28:38,507 --> 00:28:40,327
Oh, oh, yeah.
259
00:28:41,574 --> 00:28:44,933
How can you love someone
so much you just met?
260
00:28:47,712 --> 00:28:51,646
Forney's okay too. Doctor stitched
him up and sent him on home.
261
00:28:51,742 --> 00:28:54,330
- Forney? The "libary" guy?
- Mm-hmm.
262
00:28:54,427 --> 00:28:57,113
- Yeah.
- Why? What happened to him?
263
00:28:57,209 --> 00:29:00,277
He jumped through a plate-glass window
to deliver your baby.
264
00:29:00,373 --> 00:29:02,578
- Don't you remember?
- That was him?
265
00:29:04,498 --> 00:29:06,991
Oh.
266
00:29:07,087 --> 00:29:10,829
So, what are you
gonna name her?
267
00:29:11,788 --> 00:29:14,184
Oh, that's right.
268
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,022
"Americus"? How the hell'd
you come up with a name like Americus?
269
00:29:18,117 --> 00:29:22,145
I wanted her to have a strong name,
a name that stood for somethin'.
270
00:29:22,241 --> 00:29:25,790
Ooh. Aw.
271
00:29:25,886 --> 00:29:28,859
Well, I guess I should talk.
I call my kids after snack foods:
272
00:29:28,893 --> 00:29:31,066
Brownie, Praline,
Cherry and Baby Ruth.
273
00:29:31,162 --> 00:29:33,655
- You got four? You don't look old enough.
- Yep.
274
00:29:33,750 --> 00:29:36,913
Well, I started when I was 15,
and I just couldn't stop.
275
00:29:37,009 --> 00:29:40,752
I wanted to find the first one a daddy,
but all I got out of that was another baby.
276
00:29:40,847 --> 00:29:43,867
So, I wanted to find 'em both
a daddy, and so on, and so on.
277
00:29:43,900 --> 00:29:46,931
- I think I'm goin' about this
the wrong way.
278
00:29:46,964 --> 00:29:49,958
Hey! There she is!
That's the Wal-Mart mommy!
279
00:29:50,054 --> 00:29:53,316
Now, how long were you
living in the Wal-Mart?
280
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,592
Uh, uh,
281
00:29:58,688 --> 00:30:02,138
- six weeks.
- And what was it like?
282
00:30:05,881 --> 00:30:07,799
You know.
283
00:30:10,866 --> 00:30:13,170
Have you spoken
to the father?
284
00:30:15,566 --> 00:30:19,979
Novalee, if I was you,
I'd rule out a career in broadcastin'.
285
00:30:20,074 --> 00:30:24,356
- Why would anyone write anything so hurtful?
- What's it say?
286
00:30:24,389 --> 00:30:29,281
"A baby born out of holy wedlock
is an abomination in the eyes of God."
287
00:30:29,377 --> 00:30:32,224
My baby is not an abomination.
288
00:30:32,257 --> 00:30:35,612
- Screw 'em.
- Midnight, Mississippi.
289
00:30:42,230 --> 00:30:45,972
Oh, my.
This one's sad.
290
00:30:46,067 --> 00:30:50,381
"I gave birth to a baby in a V.W. van
where I lived for nearly a year."
291
00:30:50,478 --> 00:30:54,185
"My baby didn't make it.
I hope yours does.
292
00:30:54,219 --> 00:30:57,286
I don't have much else to offer you,
but I know that some money might help,
293
00:30:57,383 --> 00:30:59,878
so I enclose $10."
294
00:31:01,124 --> 00:31:03,425
Can you believe that?
295
00:31:08,701 --> 00:31:11,098
"Duda," Texas.
296
00:31:12,536 --> 00:31:15,128
"I wish I could send you some
money, but I don't have any.
297
00:31:15,223 --> 00:31:17,715
What I can offer you is
a good home."
298
00:31:17,811 --> 00:31:19,633
Send her the $10.
299
00:31:20,978 --> 00:31:23,471
Lexie, one of your kids is
on the phone.
300
00:31:23,504 --> 00:31:25,676
Which one?
301
00:31:25,772 --> 00:31:29,034
I don't know.
Pez, Twinkie- one of'em.
302
00:31:31,910 --> 00:31:33,252
I'll be right back.
303
00:31:37,665 --> 00:31:39,487
- Is Novalee in there?
- Yes, ma'am.
304
00:31:44,666 --> 00:31:46,550
Well,
305
00:31:46,584 --> 00:31:50,326
I hope you don't think
this kid's gonna call me "Grandma."
306
00:31:50,422 --> 00:31:52,435
I'm sorry, ma'am, but visiting hours
are not until-
307
00:31:52,531 --> 00:31:54,835
- Are when?
- Right now.
308
00:31:54,868 --> 00:31:56,848
Yes. Thank you.
309
00:31:58,860 --> 00:32:02,315
- Mama?
- I thought you'd be surprised.
310
00:32:04,712 --> 00:32:08,454
- How'd you know I was here?
- There ya are.
311
00:32:10,275 --> 00:32:13,679
I saw your fabulous interview
on the television,
312
00:32:13,712 --> 00:32:17,085
and I hopped right in the car,
and here I am.
313
00:32:19,002 --> 00:32:23,032
Oh, I must have been in that damn car,
like, ten hours, I'm tellin' you.
314
00:32:23,127 --> 00:32:25,524
From where?
315
00:32:27,251 --> 00:32:29,075
New Orleans.
316
00:32:30,512 --> 00:32:33,964
I been livin' there
about, um-
317
00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:35,884
Huh.
318
00:32:35,980 --> 00:32:38,665
I guess I been livin' there
about two, three years now.
319
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,965
- With Fred?
- Who?
320
00:32:40,999 --> 00:32:43,173
Fred, the umpire.
321
00:32:46,528 --> 00:32:49,408
That shithead?
Oh, my God!
322
00:32:50,749 --> 00:32:51,901
Jesus!
323
00:32:51,996 --> 00:32:54,104
What in God's name
made you think of him?
324
00:32:56,409 --> 00:32:58,901
Because he was
the reason you left.
325
00:32:58,935 --> 00:33:02,352
- Left what?
- Me.
326
00:33:03,602 --> 00:33:06,286
Oh, geez. Now,
327
00:33:06,319 --> 00:33:08,936
sweetie, look.
328
00:33:08,970 --> 00:33:11,754
That is all
water under the bridge.
329
00:33:11,849 --> 00:33:14,629
I didn't drive here for ten hours
to reminisce with you, all right?
330
00:33:14,726 --> 00:33:17,604
- Well, then why did you come?
- Well, I thought you could use some help.
331
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:20,001
You didn't look too good
up there. You-
332
00:33:20,097 --> 00:33:23,839
Livin' in the Wal-Mart is
not my idea of a big success.
333
00:33:23,935 --> 00:33:26,811
- How are you gonna help?
- I don't know.
334
00:33:29,591 --> 00:33:31,798
- You got a man?
- No.
335
00:33:31,894 --> 00:33:35,155
It's not one of those
artificial "spermination" things is it?
336
00:33:35,250 --> 00:33:36,880
No.
337
00:33:36,976 --> 00:33:40,047
Then where is the prick
who put you in this mess?
338
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,155
California.
339
00:33:42,252 --> 00:33:45,418
Well, that figures.
340
00:33:45,513 --> 00:33:48,006
All the pricks-
they move to California.
341
00:33:48,102 --> 00:33:50,212
They ought to call it
"Prick-ifornia."
342
00:33:54,337 --> 00:33:56,255
Got a place to live?
343
00:33:57,791 --> 00:34:01,913
Sweetie, look. You are going to need
a place to take this baby.
344
00:34:02,008 --> 00:34:05,942
Maybe you should think about movin'
into Sears. I hear K-Mart is really nice.
345
00:34:06,038 --> 00:34:08,531
Did you come all this way
just to make fun of me?
346
00:34:08,626 --> 00:34:11,263
God, no.
347
00:34:11,301 --> 00:34:13,903
Jesus.
348
00:34:13,999 --> 00:34:17,800
I didn't. I wanted...
349
00:34:17,834 --> 00:34:20,905
to help my child with her child, is all.
350
00:34:24,547 --> 00:34:27,906
- You want me to go?
- No.
351
00:34:29,631 --> 00:34:31,935
All right then.
352
00:34:32,031 --> 00:34:34,237
- When are they lettin' you out?
- Tomorrow.
353
00:34:35,482 --> 00:34:37,304
Hmm.
354
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,374
Well, I'm not
in any hurry to move on.
355
00:34:40,470 --> 00:34:44,210
Maybe I could find a place-
you and me and the baby.
356
00:34:45,555 --> 00:34:48,143
You mean like-
like a home?
357
00:34:49,868 --> 00:34:51,785
Uh-
358
00:34:51,881 --> 00:34:54,666
home, apartment, whatever-
till you get on your feet.
359
00:34:54,761 --> 00:34:56,966
I got me a little money.
360
00:34:57,062 --> 00:35:01,283
Oh, I got money.
The president of Wal-Mart sent me $500.
361
00:35:03,487 --> 00:35:05,309
Why?
362
00:35:07,516 --> 00:35:10,584
- He's not the father of the child, is he?
- No.
363
00:35:10,681 --> 00:35:14,422
- Aw, shit.
- No, he just wanted to be nice.
364
00:35:14,518 --> 00:35:17,970
They offered me any job
in any Wal-Mart in the country.
365
00:35:18,003 --> 00:35:19,890
Wow.
366
00:35:21,616 --> 00:35:23,437
So.
367
00:35:26,988 --> 00:35:29,576
I'm thinkin':
368
00:35:29,672 --> 00:35:33,314
what with your money
and my money together,
369
00:35:33,409 --> 00:35:35,714
we might be able to find us
a real decent place,
370
00:35:35,810 --> 00:35:39,836
so I don't want you
to worry about anything anymore,
371
00:35:39,932 --> 00:35:42,202
'cause Mama Lil is here now.
372
00:35:42,236 --> 00:35:46,645
Why don't you come by and pick us up
tomorrow- me and Americus- 9:00 a. m.?
373
00:35:48,470 --> 00:35:50,292
On the dot.
374
00:35:56,335 --> 00:36:01,514
So, I got me a lot of stuff to do.
We gotta get diapers and blankets...
375
00:36:01,548 --> 00:36:03,432
and a cradle.
376
00:36:03,528 --> 00:36:05,795
- Mama?
- Yeah?
377
00:36:05,828 --> 00:36:07,649
Thank you for comin'.
378
00:36:09,282 --> 00:36:11,104
You bet.
379
00:36:21,464 --> 00:36:23,381
It's okay, baby.
It's okay.
380
00:36:23,478 --> 00:36:25,299
You're okay.
381
00:36:33,643 --> 00:36:36,520
Maybe you should try to call
whoever's pickin'you up.
382
00:36:36,554 --> 00:36:38,726
I don't know
where she's stayin'.
383
00:36:38,822 --> 00:36:41,410
I could call a cab for you.
Where you goin'?
384
00:36:56,758 --> 00:36:59,539
Five hundred dollars-
I should have known.
385
00:37:21,790 --> 00:37:24,284
Hey.
386
00:37:33,395 --> 00:37:35,504
Well, look at all this.
387
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,575
And look at you.
388
00:37:38,671 --> 00:37:41,931
Oh, yes, you're just as cute
today as you were yesterday,
389
00:37:43,563 --> 00:37:45,865
- maybe cuter.
- Yeah.
390
00:37:47,876 --> 00:37:52,352
Well, you know that tree-
391
00:37:52,386 --> 00:37:55,420
your tree that you planted
in my yard?
392
00:37:55,454 --> 00:37:58,524
I've been tryin' to take care of it,
and I just don't have the feel for it.
393
00:37:58,620 --> 00:38:01,112
I don't have the time either.
394
00:38:01,208 --> 00:38:05,909
So, I thought maybe if you and the baby
came to stay with me for a while...
395
00:38:05,943 --> 00:38:08,114
that you could
take care of it for me.
396
00:38:09,744 --> 00:38:11,856
Sure help me out a lot.
397
00:38:13,390 --> 00:38:15,211
Okay.
398
00:38:25,187 --> 00:38:27,168
- Forney!
- What?
399
00:38:27,201 --> 00:38:30,461
- Where are you?
- I'm just putting the dishes in the sink.
400
00:38:30,494 --> 00:38:33,722
- Forney?
- I'll be- I'll be right back.
401
00:38:33,819 --> 00:38:37,558
- Forney. Forney!
- We're closed!
402
00:38:39,382 --> 00:38:41,874
Look, we're-
403
00:38:41,970 --> 00:38:44,142
Hi.
404
00:38:44,176 --> 00:38:46,000
Can I come in?
405
00:38:46,096 --> 00:38:48,397
Uh, yeah.
406
00:38:48,492 --> 00:38:50,889
- I need a towel!
- They're in the bathroom!
407
00:38:50,985 --> 00:38:53,960
- Is this the bathroom?
- Uh, yeah. No.
408
00:38:54,056 --> 00:38:56,547
I just- I just wanted
to thank you for-
409
00:38:56,644 --> 00:39:00,386
- I can't reach them!
- Give me two minutes!
410
00:39:00,481 --> 00:39:03,165
I'll be right there.
411
00:39:03,261 --> 00:39:07,099
- Sorry, I-
- That's okay, I-
412
00:39:07,195 --> 00:39:11,989
I just wanted to thank you for-
Well, I guess you saved our lives-
413
00:39:12,084 --> 00:39:14,484
- me and Americus.
- "Americus"?
414
00:39:17,169 --> 00:39:19,373
You wanna hold her?
415
00:39:19,473 --> 00:39:22,349
- Oh-
- It's okay.
416
00:39:24,650 --> 00:39:27,145
Oh, oh, oh.
417
00:39:29,159 --> 00:39:32,034
Moses Whitecotton gave me
this as a baby gift.
418
00:39:32,130 --> 00:39:34,818
- Uh-huh.
- Oh.
419
00:39:36,830 --> 00:39:39,131
Hat.
420
00:39:43,161 --> 00:39:47,862
All right.
One, two, three, smile.
421
00:39:49,779 --> 00:39:52,847
- Forney!
- I-
422
00:39:55,438 --> 00:39:58,410
All right. So,
423
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,151
- I'll see you soon.
- Uh-huh.
424
00:40:03,111 --> 00:40:04,931
Oh, uh-
425
00:40:07,232 --> 00:40:09,249
- Good-bye.
- Bye.
426
00:40:09,344 --> 00:40:11,740
Forney!
427
00:40:19,510 --> 00:40:22,676
- You may find
- Shut up!
428
00:40:22,773 --> 00:40:26,032
Look inside
and find the part
429
00:40:27,952 --> 00:40:33,609
- Look inside and find the part that's leadin' you
- Shut the hell up!
430
00:40:37,542 --> 00:40:40,131
Jack. Hey,Jack-
431
00:40:46,749 --> 00:40:49,914
What do you think? It took me a whole
month to get back to my old size.
432
00:40:52,311 --> 00:40:55,383
Oh, well, a little weight
on a woman's no harm.
433
00:40:55,478 --> 00:40:57,395
Huh? What do you
think of that?
434
00:40:57,491 --> 00:40:59,312
Breakfast?
435
00:40:59,409 --> 00:41:03,822
No. Before work I'm gonna take your
truck in and get those brakes checked.
436
00:41:03,918 --> 00:41:05,739
I'm payin'. Don't argue.
437
00:41:05,834 --> 00:41:09,385
- Sister, there's people at the door.
- Oh, here. Come on.
438
00:41:10,439 --> 00:41:12,261
- Come on. There ya go.
- Hello.
439
00:41:12,357 --> 00:41:15,329
- There ya go. Who's a good girl?
- Yes.
440
00:41:15,424 --> 00:41:17,248
I got her.
441
00:41:19,263 --> 00:41:20,989
- Yes?
- Ma'am,
442
00:41:21,085 --> 00:41:25,114
we have come here today to bring
the Word of God to the Wal-Mart baby...
443
00:41:25,147 --> 00:41:28,373
and to her young,
unmarried mama.
444
00:41:28,469 --> 00:41:32,690
We drove all the way up
from Midnight, Mississippi.
445
00:41:32,786 --> 00:41:36,686
Well, you folks could have
saved yourself a trip,
446
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:40,841
'cause the Word of God's been
in this house a long time.
447
00:41:44,008 --> 00:41:47,267
I thought that was
all over and done with-
448
00:41:47,363 --> 00:41:50,531
people wantin' to see
the Wal-Mart baby.
449
00:41:50,626 --> 00:41:52,832
Bye, sweetie. Mama will be back.
450
00:41:52,928 --> 00:41:55,803
- Bye, Mr. Sprock.
- I made links!
451
00:41:55,900 --> 00:41:57,724
Thank you.
452
00:41:58,970 --> 00:42:01,174
Dear Lord, we pray...
453
00:42:01,270 --> 00:42:04,246
that you will bless this food
for the nourishment of our bodies,
454
00:42:04,342 --> 00:42:09,039
and we ask forgiveness, Lord, for the
fornication that Mr. Sprock and me...
455
00:42:09,136 --> 00:42:12,397
committed this morning
on this very table.
456
00:42:12,493 --> 00:42:14,410
- Amen.
- Amen.
457
00:42:20,166 --> 00:42:25,249
Only you
458
00:42:25,345 --> 00:42:27,454
Can make this world
459
00:42:27,550 --> 00:42:30,139
Hey, whoa, whoa!
You can't park there!
460
00:42:30,235 --> 00:42:34,647
- We ain't open yet.
- I know that, but I gotta get to work.
461
00:42:34,743 --> 00:42:38,294
- Well, I'm workin'too, and I gotta keep the
sidewalk clear. - I'll leave you the keys, then-
462
00:42:38,389 --> 00:42:42,031
Can make the darkness bright
463
00:42:43,375 --> 00:42:45,582
Only you
464
00:42:45,678 --> 00:42:48,746
And you alone
465
00:42:50,185 --> 00:42:53,926
Can thrill me like you do
466
00:42:54,022 --> 00:42:57,186
I think I might be pregnant.
467
00:42:57,282 --> 00:42:59,681
You know that guy I told you about-
the one I met last month?
468
00:42:59,777 --> 00:43:03,035
- Yeah, the good-lookin'
mechanic. Honey- - Yeah.
469
00:43:03,132 --> 00:43:05,628
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I didn't even want to be with him.
470
00:43:05,661 --> 00:43:08,600
- Well, didn't he use anything?
- Just me.
471
00:43:08,633 --> 00:43:11,572
I don't know
what I'm gonna do.
472
00:43:11,668 --> 00:43:15,218
Well, this old Gypsy woman once told me
that if you jump backwards nine times...
473
00:43:15,314 --> 00:43:17,423
before the sun come up,
you won't be pregnant.
474
00:43:17,519 --> 00:43:22,315
So I jumped so far I had to take a bus
to get back home, and then I had twins.
475
00:43:22,411 --> 00:43:25,191
- Which is why the guy
I'm seein' now is pretty perfect.
476
00:43:25,286 --> 00:43:27,940
- Why's that?
- Well,
477
00:43:27,974 --> 00:43:30,274
he's sterile
as a cotton ball.
478
00:43:32,288 --> 00:43:35,551
- So it's permanent?
- Oh, yeah. He had mumps when he was 15...
479
00:43:35,584 --> 00:43:38,427
- and they went down on him.
- Down where?
480
00:43:38,461 --> 00:43:40,314
To his manly areas.
481
00:43:40,346 --> 00:43:43,702
- So they're-
- Oh, God, Novalee, no.
482
00:43:43,797 --> 00:43:46,099
He's just shootin' blanks,
is all.
483
00:43:46,194 --> 00:43:49,075
Well, let's face it: Girls like us
don't get the pick of the litter.
484
00:43:49,170 --> 00:43:52,717
I don't think you're pregnant,
but you'll have to wait it out.
485
00:43:52,812 --> 00:43:55,308
- I'll see ya. Bye-bye.
- Bye.
486
00:43:55,404 --> 00:43:57,800
- Bye.
- You ready to go home?
487
00:44:10,078 --> 00:44:12,475
Are you finding what you want?
488
00:44:12,571 --> 00:44:14,970
I don't know what
they're talkin' about.
489
00:44:15,066 --> 00:44:16,983
I have to look up every other word
in the dictionary,
490
00:44:17,079 --> 00:44:19,380
then I have to look up those words
in the children's dictionary.
491
00:44:19,476 --> 00:44:22,451
Takes me a half-hour
to read a page.
492
00:44:22,547 --> 00:44:24,655
Well, maybe this is something
that's hard to learn from books.
493
00:44:24,751 --> 00:44:28,206
- I mean, it's photography.
- Hard for me anyway.
494
00:44:30,124 --> 00:44:32,424
- Uh-
- Is something wrong?
495
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,494
- Is there a ladies' room?
- Yeah.
496
00:44:52,853 --> 00:44:57,362
Yes!
Thank you, Lord! Thank you so much.
497
00:45:01,775 --> 00:45:05,034
- Things went well?
- You bet.
498
00:45:08,198 --> 00:45:10,084
Oh, I-I gotta go.
499
00:45:10,118 --> 00:45:13,248
- Oh, you've got a big date or something?
- No.
500
00:45:13,282 --> 00:45:17,023
Oh, because I thought you were
sort of seeing somebody, or-
501
00:45:17,118 --> 00:45:21,242
No, that's done. That's finished.
I am done with guys like that.
502
00:45:21,338 --> 00:45:24,408
- Like what?
- You know- good-lookin', cocky,
503
00:45:24,505 --> 00:45:28,052
look great in tight jeans
and a white t-shirt.
504
00:45:28,148 --> 00:45:30,354
Those guys are
all wrong for me, Forney.
505
00:45:30,451 --> 00:45:33,326
I don't want that anymore.
I want a change.
506
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,260
- No more men at all.
- Oh.
507
00:45:47,905 --> 00:45:49,922
Forney, help me.
508
00:45:54,139 --> 00:45:56,635
All right. Here.
509
00:45:56,669 --> 00:45:58,552
Okay.
510
00:46:06,704 --> 00:46:08,526
Who's that?
511
00:46:13,034 --> 00:46:16,390
Novalee, I'd like you
to meet my sister.
512
00:46:16,424 --> 00:46:18,693
This is
Mary Elizabeth Hull.
513
00:46:18,790 --> 00:46:20,611
She's the librarian.
514
00:46:25,598 --> 00:46:27,899
Mary Elizabeth's
a lot older than I am.
515
00:46:27,995 --> 00:46:30,105
I was still just a kid
when she started drinking.
516
00:46:31,259 --> 00:46:33,943
Oh, you're underselling that.
517
00:46:35,572 --> 00:46:39,026
I was about ten, I guess,
the first time my father put her away.
518
00:46:39,059 --> 00:46:42,958
- Away? Where?
- In a sanitorium back east.
519
00:46:43,053 --> 00:46:46,507
So, what exactly
are you looking for?
520
00:46:46,603 --> 00:46:49,575
Well, I'm lookin' for a gift
for Sister and Mr. Sprock.
521
00:46:49,671 --> 00:46:51,688
- It's their anniversary.
- Anniversary?
522
00:46:51,783 --> 00:46:55,042
Yeah, they've been...
close for six years.
523
00:46:57,823 --> 00:47:00,127
So anyway, I was back east
at college, and-
524
00:47:00,222 --> 00:47:02,714
- College?
- Yeah, I was studying to be a history teacher,
525
00:47:02,811 --> 00:47:05,499
but my dad died and my sister
couldn't be left alone here.
526
00:47:05,594 --> 00:47:10,292
She begged me never to send her away
again. Told me she'd kill herself if I did.
527
00:47:10,388 --> 00:47:13,938
That was nine years ago.
528
00:47:14,033 --> 00:47:16,430
So what are you thinking?
Candlestick holders?
529
00:47:16,526 --> 00:47:18,347
Picture frame?
530
00:47:18,443 --> 00:47:21,132
Good God. Who would buy
somebody else's toupee?
531
00:47:21,164 --> 00:47:26,023
Oh, my gosh. Look at this.
532
00:47:28,516 --> 00:47:30,624
It just needs
a little cleanin' is all.
533
00:47:44,148 --> 00:47:46,065
Hey, Moses, you want
to hear somethin' funny?
534
00:47:47,506 --> 00:47:50,094
I wouldn't mind.
535
00:47:50,190 --> 00:47:53,899
Well, I was thinkin' that...
536
00:47:53,932 --> 00:47:56,329
someday- I mean, I mean
a long time from now-
537
00:47:56,424 --> 00:47:59,879
I could, you know,
maybe be a photographer.
538
00:47:59,913 --> 00:48:01,988
That's not funny.
539
00:48:02,085 --> 00:48:04,481
- It's not?
- You don't hear me laughin'.
540
00:48:42,174 --> 00:48:44,954
I never had
a Christmas tree before.
541
00:48:44,988 --> 00:48:46,839
Not a live one.
542
00:48:46,872 --> 00:48:49,367
You have one of those
aluminum ones?
543
00:48:49,464 --> 00:48:51,381
No.
544
00:48:52,532 --> 00:48:54,353
Those cost money.
545
00:48:55,698 --> 00:48:58,445
No, when I was eight,
546
00:48:58,478 --> 00:49:00,458
I was livin' with this-
this old lady.
547
00:49:00,492 --> 00:49:03,994
She promised me
we'd have a Christmas tree.
548
00:49:04,028 --> 00:49:07,493
And then she went
and spent all her money...
549
00:49:07,589 --> 00:49:09,700
on a set of bagpipes...
550
00:49:09,796 --> 00:49:14,303
because, well, I guess
she was just insane, but-
551
00:49:14,398 --> 00:49:17,661
She, she felt bad.
552
00:49:17,758 --> 00:49:21,400
So, on Christmas morning,
she found some green paint,
553
00:49:21,496 --> 00:49:24,342
and she painted
a Christmas tree...
554
00:49:24,376 --> 00:49:28,209
on her living room wall,
floor to ceilin'.
555
00:49:28,305 --> 00:49:31,569
And that was my only tree
till now.
556
00:49:35,306 --> 00:49:37,226
- Hey.
- Hey, Lexie.
557
00:49:39,048 --> 00:49:40,966
- Hi.
- Hi.
558
00:49:41,062 --> 00:49:43,365
- Hey, Lex. Hi, kids.
- Hi.
559
00:49:43,461 --> 00:49:46,050
- Hi.
- Everybody say "hi."
560
00:49:48,159 --> 00:49:51,422
- How do you feel?
- Ha! Mumps?
561
00:49:51,517 --> 00:49:53,338
I got his mumps right here.
562
00:49:53,434 --> 00:49:55,927
All right, babies. Go find us
a good-lookin' Christmas tree.
563
00:49:56,022 --> 00:49:57,910
One that doesn't cost
more than $40.
564
00:49:57,944 --> 00:50:00,531
- So have you heard from him?
- Oh, you mean, since he stole...
565
00:50:00,627 --> 00:50:04,464
my brand new Dutch oven, king-size
pillows and rode out of town on his Harley?
566
00:50:04,498 --> 00:50:06,766
I guess that's what I meant.
567
00:50:08,301 --> 00:50:10,221
You want us to wait around,
give you a ride?
568
00:50:10,316 --> 00:50:12,330
Nah. You never know.
569
00:50:12,426 --> 00:50:14,822
Maybe I can get knocked up again
on the way home.
570
00:50:15,876 --> 00:50:17,893
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
571
00:50:25,949 --> 00:50:28,826
Why would a man on a Harley
steal a woman's pillows?
572
00:50:30,937 --> 00:50:33,717
Just because he could,
I guess.
573
00:50:44,844 --> 00:50:49,734
You know, I cannot wait
till Americus sees this tree.
574
00:50:50,787 --> 00:50:52,900
Well, don't expect too much
of a reaction.
575
00:50:52,995 --> 00:50:55,584
After all,
Americus is only-
576
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,080
- Hey, you know what?
- What?
577
00:50:58,176 --> 00:51:02,009
Americus is exactly
five months old today.
578
00:51:02,043 --> 00:51:04,889
- What?
- Yeah, she was born July 5.
579
00:51:19,754 --> 00:51:21,672
- Novalee!
- What happened?
580
00:51:21,768 --> 00:51:24,740
I'm sorry. I no more than
turned around and she was gone.
581
00:51:24,773 --> 00:51:27,426
- What happened?
- She's gone. Americus is gone.
582
00:51:27,524 --> 00:51:29,344
You say the front door
was unlocked.
583
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,607
I went to the shed for more Christmas
decorations. I wasn't gone two minutes.
584
00:51:32,641 --> 00:51:34,525
Was anything else missing?
Money, jewelry?
585
00:51:34,620 --> 00:51:39,321
Is there anyone you can think of? Anyone
mad at you, has a score to settle?
586
00:51:39,354 --> 00:51:41,684
There's a woman at work
doesn't like me much.
587
00:51:41,718 --> 00:51:45,073
She says I park in her space even though
we don't have regular spaces,
588
00:51:45,106 --> 00:51:47,376
but I don't think
she'd take Americus.
589
00:51:47,473 --> 00:51:49,581
What about you, Sister?
590
00:51:49,677 --> 00:51:51,882
- Anyone have a grudge against you?
- Like who?
591
00:51:51,978 --> 00:51:55,816
Someone at the A.A. Anyone there
might wanna hurt you for some reason?
592
00:51:55,849 --> 00:51:57,925
Harry, we're alcoholics.
593
00:51:58,021 --> 00:52:00,229
We're generally satisfied
just to hurt ourselves.
594
00:52:00,324 --> 00:52:02,913
Yeah.
595
00:52:08,860 --> 00:52:13,077
Anyone could have her, and I don't know if
she's scared or if she's sick or if she's hurt.
596
00:52:13,177 --> 00:52:15,286
I don't know
if she's hungry or cold.
597
00:52:15,382 --> 00:52:17,265
- I know, honey. I know.
- I don't even-
598
00:52:17,298 --> 00:52:20,753
Excuse me. Is this always
in the baby's crib?
599
00:52:20,849 --> 00:52:23,246
No, that's not my Bible.
600
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,356
Oh, Lord.
601
00:52:25,452 --> 00:52:27,659
Lord, I know who took her.
I know who took Americus.
602
00:52:27,755 --> 00:52:29,193
What?
603
00:52:29,289 --> 00:52:31,781
Yesterday,
604
00:52:31,877 --> 00:52:33,989
this woman came to the door.
605
00:52:34,085 --> 00:52:37,345
She was here once before.
She had a man with her,
606
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,087
and they said that they wanted
to give you the Word of God.
607
00:52:43,292 --> 00:52:45,113
I smart-mouthed 'em,
608
00:52:45,209 --> 00:52:47,221
and they had Bibles with 'em,
609
00:52:47,317 --> 00:52:49,142
like that one.
610
00:52:49,238 --> 00:52:51,347
They came from Mississippi-
611
00:52:51,381 --> 00:52:53,456
Midnight, Mississippi.
612
00:52:56,048 --> 00:52:58,731
They said my baby
was an abomination?
613
00:53:02,186 --> 00:53:04,679
Am I bein' punished, Forney?
614
00:53:04,774 --> 00:53:06,117
For what?
615
00:53:06,214 --> 00:53:08,038
Things I did.
616
00:53:09,667 --> 00:53:12,063
I wasn't married
when I had my baby.
617
00:53:13,981 --> 00:53:16,284
Do you really think
this is what you deserve?
618
00:53:18,489 --> 00:53:20,886
Let me tell you about
what you deserve, Novalee.
619
00:53:20,982 --> 00:53:24,246
If it were up to me-
620
00:53:47,550 --> 00:53:50,717
Sorry, folks. We got a classical
crime scene across the street.
621
00:53:50,813 --> 00:53:52,825
- Oh, my God! - You
can't- - Let her go!
622
00:53:52,921 --> 00:53:55,667
Hey, hey, hey!
Get down!
623
00:53:55,701 --> 00:53:58,293
Hey!
624
00:54:33,492 --> 00:54:37,521
A highway patrol had spotted
a Mississippi plate and stopped 'em.
625
00:54:37,617 --> 00:54:40,971
They admitted they took her and
said we'd find her right here.
626
00:55:05,334 --> 00:55:09,745
Jesus Christ. Another guitar player.
What's your name?
627
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,665
Willy Jack Pickens.
628
00:55:11,761 --> 00:55:14,829
You didn't even
have to make that up did you?
629
00:55:14,924 --> 00:55:16,266
What?
630
00:55:16,363 --> 00:55:18,857
Well, you just carry that guitar
around to keep your balance?
631
00:55:18,954 --> 00:55:21,063
You want me to play?
632
00:55:21,159 --> 00:55:23,844
What the fuck do you think
I want you to do, call bingo?
633
00:55:25,763 --> 00:55:29,085
One, two. You're best shot.
634
00:55:29,118 --> 00:55:32,093
All right.
Well, I wrote this one myself.
635
00:55:32,190 --> 00:55:36,024
- I have goose bumps already.
- Jesus Christ.
636
00:55:42,737 --> 00:55:44,751
Sometimes it's hard
637
00:55:44,847 --> 00:55:48,781
You don't wanna look
over your shoulder
638
00:55:49,835 --> 00:55:52,136
'Cause you don't want to
639
00:55:52,235 --> 00:55:54,919
Remember where you've been
640
00:55:56,165 --> 00:55:58,466
There'll come a time
you'd die
641
00:55:58,562 --> 00:56:02,496
If you could only hold her
642
00:56:02,591 --> 00:56:07,868
I know that's where I am
643
00:56:10,455 --> 00:56:12,660
So listen
with all your heart
644
00:56:12,756 --> 00:56:16,881
Hold it inside forever
645
00:56:16,977 --> 00:56:20,911
You may find all your dreams
have already
646
00:56:21,007 --> 00:56:23,308
Come true
647
00:56:23,404 --> 00:56:25,513
Look inside
and find the part
648
00:56:25,609 --> 00:56:29,734
That's leading you
649
00:56:29,830 --> 00:56:33,955
That's the beat
of the heart
650
00:56:43,162 --> 00:56:44,983
What do you think?
651
00:56:45,079 --> 00:56:47,862
It's gonna cost me
$1,000 to clean you up.
652
00:56:47,958 --> 00:56:50,930
Pictures, another 200.
653
00:56:52,848 --> 00:56:55,918
My name's Ruth Meyers.
Call me Ruth Meyers.
654
00:56:56,973 --> 00:56:59,466
All right. All right.
655
00:57:01,481 --> 00:57:04,357
Well, Penny, could you
just please sign it? Thank you.
656
00:57:04,453 --> 00:57:06,659
By the way,
I changed your name.
657
00:57:06,754 --> 00:57:08,962
- You did?
- Yes, you're Billy Shadow now.
658
00:57:09,058 --> 00:57:11,071
One Willy in the business
is enough.
659
00:57:11,105 --> 00:57:13,468
Billy Shadow.
I like it.
660
00:57:13,564 --> 00:57:15,292
Here.
661
00:57:16,731 --> 00:57:19,031
Spending money?
662
00:57:26,513 --> 00:57:29,548
So listen
with all your heart
663
00:57:29,582 --> 00:57:32,458
Hold it inside forever
664
00:57:32,554 --> 00:57:37,543
- You may find all your dreams
have already come true
665
00:57:39,459 --> 00:57:43,201
Whoa!
666
00:57:43,297 --> 00:57:45,407
I told you
it wasn't gonna be easy.
667
00:57:45,502 --> 00:57:47,803
I told you it would take two
years to get you on the radio.
668
00:57:47,899 --> 00:57:50,971
- But it's been two years.
- Well, then you know what?
669
00:57:51,067 --> 00:57:54,805
- What?
- It's gonna take three years.
670
00:57:59,026 --> 00:58:01,519
You may find all your dreams
671
00:58:01,553 --> 00:58:05,165
Have already come true
672
00:58:06,315 --> 00:58:08,520
Look inside
and find the part
673
00:58:08,616 --> 00:58:12,358
That's leadin' you
674
00:58:13,988 --> 00:58:19,167
That's the beat of the heart
675
00:58:20,797 --> 00:58:22,972
No one
676
00:58:23,006 --> 00:58:26,360
Can tell you
how to get there
677
00:58:26,456 --> 00:58:28,661
It's a road you take
678
00:58:28,757 --> 00:58:31,924
All by yourself
Come on, Americus. Sing with me.
679
00:58:32,021 --> 00:58:37,487
- All by yourself
- All by yourself
680
00:58:37,583 --> 00:58:39,214
Oh, that song!
681
00:58:39,309 --> 00:58:41,706
All your heart
682
00:58:41,802 --> 00:58:43,817
Hold it in-
683
00:58:43,913 --> 00:58:45,798
- It's catchy.
- I don't know.
684
00:58:45,832 --> 00:58:49,474
Something about that guy's voice
just rubs me the wrong way.
685
00:58:51,873 --> 00:58:54,365
Americus, honey,
what are you doing?
686
00:58:54,461 --> 00:58:57,916
- Eatin' dough in my nose.
- Don't.
687
00:58:58,012 --> 00:58:59,738
Forney's outside waitin'.
688
00:59:03,285 --> 00:59:05,109
How do I look?
689
00:59:05,205 --> 00:59:08,463
Great. How do I look?
Nervous?
690
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:10,381
Uh-huh.
691
00:59:12,397 --> 00:59:14,794
- Are you ready to go?
- Forney!
692
00:59:14,828 --> 00:59:16,678
- Oh!
- Pony ride!
693
00:59:16,712 --> 00:59:18,632
Well, if it doesn't rain.
694
00:59:18,666 --> 00:59:20,517
It can't rain.
695
00:59:20,550 --> 00:59:22,754
I'm shootin'
an outdoor wedding.
696
00:59:30,044 --> 00:59:31,868
Do I look professional?
697
00:59:31,964 --> 00:59:34,553
- You know what would help?
- What?
698
00:59:34,648 --> 00:59:36,086
If you brought your camera.
699
00:59:36,182 --> 00:59:38,630
Shit.
Mama didn't say, "Shit."
700
00:59:38,664 --> 00:59:41,075
- Yes you did.
- Here you go.
701
00:59:41,171 --> 00:59:44,430
Now you take some beautiful picture
of that weddin'. You look wonderful.
702
00:59:44,525 --> 00:59:46,637
- Drive careful, all right?
- Bye, baby.
703
00:59:46,671 --> 00:59:48,521
- Bye.
- Bye. Good luck.
704
00:59:48,555 --> 00:59:50,665
- Say bye to Mama. Bye.
- Bye.
705
00:59:50,761 --> 00:59:52,680
- Bye. Bye, Mama.
- Good luck.
706
00:59:52,776 --> 00:59:54,598
- Bye.
- Bye.
707
01:00:06,012 --> 01:00:08,375
Mommy! Mommy!
Storm's comin'!
708
01:00:08,409 --> 01:00:12,918
Weather Channel just put out
a tornado warnin'. We better get going.
709
01:00:17,711 --> 01:00:20,493
Ooh. You better
pick these up.
710
01:00:20,589 --> 01:00:22,953
- Here you go.
- I swear.
711
01:00:22,986 --> 01:00:25,287
I spent more on film
than I got paid.
712
01:00:25,321 --> 01:00:27,174
What is goin' on here?
713
01:00:27,207 --> 01:00:30,562
Well, it turns out that
the groom's former girlfriend...
714
01:00:30,658 --> 01:00:32,672
was a waitress
at the reception.
715
01:00:32,768 --> 01:00:36,510
And this was right after the bride
called her a cheap, big-ass tramp.
716
01:00:36,606 --> 01:00:39,064
Ooh. Who's this
on the stretcher?
717
01:00:39,098 --> 01:00:42,361
The waitress, after the bridesmaids
finished jumpin' up and down on her.
718
01:00:42,458 --> 01:00:45,621
- You think they're gonna
want these pictures?
719
01:00:45,716 --> 01:00:49,363
- I took everything.
- Ooh, we better get movin'.
720
01:00:49,396 --> 01:00:51,855
I'll meet you two
in the cellar.
721
01:00:51,951 --> 01:00:53,775
I'm ready!
722
01:00:53,872 --> 01:00:56,747
You certainly are.
Now, you're all set.
723
01:00:56,843 --> 01:00:58,665
Got it?
724
01:00:58,761 --> 01:01:00,585
Where you goin'?
725
01:01:00,681 --> 01:01:04,323
Dixie Marlon's still sick. Gonna
bring her some potato soup right quick.
726
01:01:04,419 --> 01:01:06,241
I'll be right back.
727
01:01:16,889 --> 01:01:18,710
Pick it up. Pick it up.
728
01:01:18,805 --> 01:01:20,919
Come on, Novalee,
pick it up. Pick it up.
729
01:01:21,014 --> 01:01:24,143
- Those in Rogers County
should take action as well.
730
01:01:24,177 --> 01:01:26,958
- This includes areas
of Claremore and Sequoyah.
731
01:01:27,053 --> 01:01:29,549
All right.
732
01:01:29,645 --> 01:01:31,466
- Oh.
- I got you.
733
01:01:33,192 --> 01:01:35,016
Rosita, help me.
734
01:01:35,112 --> 01:01:39,522
- I'm scared.
- I've got you, honey. Hold on. I've got you.
735
01:01:39,618 --> 01:01:42,305
We interrupt this program for
an important weather bulletin.
736
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:43,998
Where's Grandma Sister?
737
01:01:44,031 --> 01:01:46,778
She's coming, honey,
all right?
738
01:01:46,812 --> 01:01:49,656
- There you go. - Those
of you in Rogers County-
739
01:01:49,689 --> 01:01:52,565
My husband's painting a house
somewhere on Commerce Street.
740
01:01:52,599 --> 01:01:55,158
He'll be all right.
741
01:01:55,254 --> 01:01:58,992
- Hi, Americus. Do you wanna play cards?
- I wanna play with my bear.
742
01:01:59,088 --> 01:02:03,309
- He's scared of the storm.
- I'm gonna go look for Sister.
743
01:02:03,342 --> 01:02:05,226
Sister?
744
01:02:11,270 --> 01:02:14,016
Shouldn't we shut the door?
745
01:02:14,050 --> 01:02:16,162
Sister's still comin'.
Let's wait.
746
01:02:21,722 --> 01:02:23,546
Oh, God.
747
01:02:24,985 --> 01:02:27,285
- Novalee, come back.
- Mommy, where are you going?
748
01:02:27,381 --> 01:02:29,202
Novalee, please!
749
01:02:56,249 --> 01:02:58,841
Mommy!
750
01:02:58,937 --> 01:03:01,910
Come here! Come here!
751
01:03:05,363 --> 01:03:07,472
Americus, come here!
752
01:03:11,022 --> 01:03:13,098
Hold on, Novalee!
I've got you!
753
01:03:13,131 --> 01:03:16,199
- Stay here, Americus!
- Americus, stay back!
754
01:03:16,232 --> 01:03:17,927
Kids, get back!
755
01:03:23,679 --> 01:03:26,271
- Americus!
- Hang on!
756
01:03:26,366 --> 01:03:29,627
- Get back, baby!
- Americus, no!
757
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:35,956
- No!
- Mommy!
758
01:04:24,007 --> 01:04:25,928
Look, Mommy.
759
01:05:08,319 --> 01:05:11,195
I still don't know why they
couldn't reopen the Wal-Mart here.
760
01:05:11,290 --> 01:05:15,032
- Too much structural damage.
- Well, livin' in Poteau, we'll never see you.
761
01:05:15,066 --> 01:05:17,429
That's where they built
the new store. I gotta go, Lexie.
762
01:05:17,525 --> 01:05:20,401
What else can I do?
I've gotta make a living.
763
01:05:20,497 --> 01:05:23,568
- So where's this guy we're supposed to meet?
- Come on, honey.
764
01:05:24,622 --> 01:05:26,732
Where is he?
765
01:05:26,828 --> 01:05:30,761
- We're still early.
- Mommy, can I play?
766
01:05:30,857 --> 01:05:34,503
Yeah, you can play for a couple of
minutes, honey, but then we have to go.
767
01:05:38,337 --> 01:05:40,605
- A trailer.
- Hmm?
768
01:05:40,639 --> 01:05:45,051
The place I rented in Poteau.
It's got wheels under it.
769
01:05:45,147 --> 01:05:48,314
- Forney called me last night.
- Forney?
770
01:05:48,410 --> 01:05:50,999
I figured his sister
fell out a window or somethin'.
771
01:05:51,094 --> 01:05:53,683
He asked me if I could find you
a job at the hospital, and I said,
772
01:05:53,779 --> 01:05:56,465
"Oh, gee, Forney, as what,
brain surgeon on weekends?"
773
01:05:56,562 --> 01:06:00,014
- That boy does not
want you to move to Poteau.
774
01:06:00,047 --> 01:06:03,755
It's just he's so crazy
about Americus.
775
01:06:03,788 --> 01:06:05,638
Oh, give me a break.
776
01:06:05,671 --> 01:06:09,414
- He is.
- Forney is in love with you.
777
01:06:09,510 --> 01:06:11,523
Tell me
you don't know that.
778
01:06:12,577 --> 01:06:14,974
It's just not like that
with me and Forney.
779
01:06:15,070 --> 01:06:18,620
I have seen him.
He loves you.
780
01:06:18,716 --> 01:06:21,688
He loves the way you walk.
He loves your hair.
781
01:06:21,784 --> 01:06:24,088
He loves everything
about you.
782
01:06:24,183 --> 01:06:28,019
Forney and me-
we're just not that way.
783
01:06:28,115 --> 01:06:30,226
Forney's different from us.
784
01:06:30,321 --> 01:06:33,006
He went to college.
His family had money.
785
01:06:33,102 --> 01:06:35,211
What are you tryin' to say,
786
01:06:35,308 --> 01:06:37,419
that you're not good enough
for him?
787
01:06:42,500 --> 01:06:44,421
I wonder what he wants.
788
01:06:44,517 --> 01:06:47,489
I wouldn't know. He just called me
last night and asked to meet me.
789
01:06:47,584 --> 01:06:50,559
And I told him I was goin' out of town,
but he still wanted to.
790
01:06:54,010 --> 01:06:56,890
- Miss Nation.
- Uh-uh. Her.
791
01:06:56,986 --> 01:06:59,190
- Hi. I'm Ray.
- Hi.
792
01:06:59,287 --> 01:07:01,875
Well, Sister spoke of you often
at the meetings.
793
01:07:01,971 --> 01:07:05,329
- Oh, both of you were al-
- Alcoholics, yes, ma'am.
794
01:07:05,425 --> 01:07:08,685
- Ray? You used to call in-
- Call in the middle of the night.
795
01:07:08,780 --> 01:07:13,001
And Sister would come and pick
my sorry ass up- excuse me-
796
01:07:13,097 --> 01:07:16,836
in whatever sleazy beerjoint
I happened to be passed out in.
797
01:07:16,869 --> 01:07:20,578
She never gave up on me,
even after I got disbarred.
798
01:07:22,209 --> 01:07:26,717
You know, I once went into court
and started defendin' the wrong person.
799
01:07:26,812 --> 01:07:29,305
Anyway,
800
01:07:29,401 --> 01:07:31,800
she's the one who helped me
turn it all around-
801
01:07:31,896 --> 01:07:33,814
get my license back.
802
01:07:35,731 --> 01:07:38,514
- Well, everything's in here.
- What is?
803
01:07:38,610 --> 01:07:41,294
- It's Sister's estate.
- Estate?
804
01:07:41,327 --> 01:07:43,499
Yeah, she left it all to you.
805
01:07:43,595 --> 01:07:48,836
The land, the insurance on the trailer
and contents, life insurance,
806
01:07:48,871 --> 01:07:54,147
even some old oil stock her grandfather
bought from the Comanches back in 1909.
807
01:07:54,243 --> 01:07:57,023
Comes to about $41,000.
808
01:07:57,119 --> 01:08:00,382
Sorry.
809
01:08:04,503 --> 01:08:06,423
I'm gonna shake my soul
810
01:08:06,457 --> 01:08:08,405
And release my hold
811
01:08:08,439 --> 01:08:10,321
Givin'up control
812
01:08:10,355 --> 01:08:12,466
And let the rest unfold
813
01:08:12,562 --> 01:08:15,486
'Cause it's a long, long way
from here
814
01:08:15,519 --> 01:08:18,410
To where we go
815
01:08:18,505 --> 01:08:21,290
Brownie! Brownie,
do not lasso your sister!
816
01:08:21,324 --> 01:08:23,687
Take off the training wheels
817
01:08:23,782 --> 01:08:25,894
Lift off the handle bars
818
01:08:30,016 --> 01:08:32,125
I'll drive right through
my fears
819
01:08:32,220 --> 01:08:34,621
And resurrect my heart
820
01:08:37,017 --> 01:08:40,567
Mr. Sprock, I still
don't feel right about this.
821
01:08:40,663 --> 01:08:43,251
I feel like some of what
Sister had should be yours.
822
01:08:43,347 --> 01:08:47,089
The only thing I wanted I got-
that old kitchen table.
823
01:08:48,432 --> 01:08:51,213
A lot of fine memories.
824
01:08:51,308 --> 01:08:53,133
All right.
825
01:08:54,954 --> 01:08:56,775
I'm gonna shake my soul
826
01:08:56,870 --> 01:08:59,363
And release my hold
827
01:08:59,459 --> 01:09:01,572
I'm givin'up control
828
01:09:01,667 --> 01:09:03,680
I let the rest unfold
829
01:09:03,776 --> 01:09:05,981
'Cause it's
a long, long way
830
01:09:06,015 --> 01:09:07,868
It's a long, long way
831
01:09:07,901 --> 01:09:11,737
From here to where we go
832
01:09:16,820 --> 01:09:20,180
I just think that Ruth Meyers has went
about as far as she can with me.
833
01:09:20,275 --> 01:09:23,631
My head just keeps buttin' against
the ceilin', and I wanna break through.
834
01:09:23,726 --> 01:09:26,506
And you're the guy.
You're Johnny Desoto, for Christ's sake.
835
01:09:26,602 --> 01:09:28,618
- You got the clout.
- Well,
836
01:09:28,713 --> 01:09:33,220
I will say I thought you'd pick up a little
more momentum off of "Beat of a Heart."
837
01:09:33,316 --> 01:09:35,427
Exactly.
That was eight months ago.
838
01:09:35,523 --> 01:09:39,359
Here I am in Santa-friggin'- Fe
still playin' to damn clubs.
839
01:09:41,854 --> 01:09:45,112
Shit. I gotta go get ready.
I got a show.
840
01:09:46,264 --> 01:09:51,314
You and Ruth Meyers
got some kind of a contract?
841
01:09:51,348 --> 01:09:55,569
I just wanna warn you.
Ruth Meyers could be a powerful ally,
842
01:09:55,602 --> 01:09:57,453
but she makes
a hell of an enemy.
843
01:09:57,487 --> 01:10:00,138
You mess with her, and
nobody'll touch you.
844
01:10:00,171 --> 01:10:04,584
Johnny, Ruth Meyers ain't got
that kind of clout. Come on.
845
01:10:33,739 --> 01:10:37,770
And the winner of this year's
Kodak first prize,
846
01:10:37,865 --> 01:10:40,070
for the greater Southwest area,
847
01:10:40,166 --> 01:10:43,332
she's from Sequoyah, Oklahoma.
848
01:10:43,427 --> 01:10:46,208
How 'bout a real big hand
for Miss Novalee Nation?
849
01:10:46,304 --> 01:10:48,796
Novalee, congratulations.
Way to go.
850
01:11:00,019 --> 01:11:03,186
I shot this picture with
a Rollei twin lens Reflex at F-4...
851
01:11:03,282 --> 01:11:05,966
using A.S.A. 125.
852
01:11:06,062 --> 01:11:10,283
I took it- I took it to remember
a very dear friend.
853
01:11:13,159 --> 01:11:16,901
She gave me that tree,
and then she took me in...
854
01:11:16,997 --> 01:11:19,873
when me and my baby had no place
else in the world to go.
855
01:11:21,311 --> 01:11:23,903
And I would rather be livin' again
with her in that trailer...
856
01:11:23,998 --> 01:11:26,395
than in the finest house
in Oklahoma.
857
01:11:28,312 --> 01:11:31,670
Thank you.
858
01:11:38,001 --> 01:11:40,781
All right. Hold on.
We're almost there.
859
01:11:50,753 --> 01:11:52,771
- Who's that?
- Who's what?
860
01:11:52,867 --> 01:11:55,262
There's a lady.
861
01:11:58,046 --> 01:11:59,868
Ruth Meyers.
862
01:11:59,965 --> 01:12:02,743
You, out.
863
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:05,527
Are you married?
864
01:12:05,622 --> 01:12:08,019
- To her?
- Out.
865
01:12:08,115 --> 01:12:10,704
I will leave
when I am good and ready.
866
01:12:13,967 --> 01:12:17,288
So, how's it goin'?
867
01:12:17,322 --> 01:12:20,681
So, I got a call from
an attorney down in Albuquerque.
868
01:12:23,461 --> 01:12:25,477
Well, hell,
if this is about that girl-
869
01:12:25,572 --> 01:12:29,214
It's about a guy
named Tommy Reynolds.
870
01:12:29,311 --> 01:12:31,708
- Who?
- Don't lie to me!
871
01:12:31,804 --> 01:12:35,066
God! All right.
Tommy Reynolds. What?
872
01:12:35,162 --> 01:12:39,096
- He says he was your cellmate in prison.
- So?
873
01:12:39,129 --> 01:12:41,397
He says he wrote
"Beat of a Heart."
874
01:12:41,493 --> 01:12:44,177
That is such bullshit.
875
01:12:44,273 --> 01:12:48,015
I wrote that song.
He sold me his damn guitar. That's it.
876
01:12:48,111 --> 01:12:51,465
I got the crap kicked out of me
for writin' that song.
877
01:12:56,932 --> 01:12:58,754
Shit!
878
01:13:00,196 --> 01:13:02,592
What are we gonna do?
What-
879
01:13:02,688 --> 01:13:07,580
What are we gonna do?
We ain't gonna do nothin'.
880
01:13:09,594 --> 01:13:12,469
Maybe Johnny Desoto
will help you out.
881
01:13:21,486 --> 01:13:23,883
Ruth. Ruth Meyers.
882
01:13:23,979 --> 01:13:26,280
Come on. I need your help with this.
883
01:13:27,338 --> 01:13:29,160
Hey, Ruthie.
884
01:13:29,256 --> 01:13:31,941
I bet if we went back to my room
we could work it out.
885
01:13:31,974 --> 01:13:35,010
Huh? You sexy sweet thing.
886
01:13:35,106 --> 01:13:38,079
Oh, goddamn!
887
01:13:50,355 --> 01:13:52,176
Hi!
888
01:13:52,273 --> 01:13:54,098
Hi, honey.
Sorry, but I made it.
889
01:13:54,194 --> 01:13:56,015
Was it a big inconvenience?
890
01:13:56,111 --> 01:14:00,008
Novalee, I have five children.
Everything is an inconvenience.
891
01:14:00,041 --> 01:14:03,975
You mind if I drive real slow on the way
home? I'd like to pretend it's a vacation.
892
01:14:04,071 --> 01:14:05,892
- You all right, honey?
- I'm great.
893
01:14:05,987 --> 01:14:08,962
- Good.
- So, anything new around here?
894
01:14:09,058 --> 01:14:11,647
No, not a thing, unless you think
me meetin' a guy is new.
895
01:14:11,743 --> 01:14:15,005
- Who? How?
- Well, his name is Roger.
896
01:14:15,039 --> 01:14:17,595
Roger Brisco.
He's a C.P.A.
897
01:14:17,690 --> 01:14:21,911
- He has his own successful business in Fort Worth.
- How'd you meet him?
898
01:14:22,007 --> 01:14:25,458
We pumped gas together at the Texaco.
He drives a new Buick.
899
01:14:25,554 --> 01:14:29,200
And when his dipstick
got jammed, I helped him yank it out.
900
01:14:29,295 --> 01:14:31,276
Yeah.
901
01:14:31,309 --> 01:14:35,243
He told me my kids were beautiful,
so I know he likes me.
902
01:14:37,064 --> 01:14:39,460
You never know, Novalee.
903
01:14:39,556 --> 01:14:41,953
Maybe in a couple of months,
you'll be takin' pictures at my weddin'.
904
01:14:43,011 --> 01:14:45,312
Oh. All right. Thank you.
905
01:14:45,408 --> 01:14:47,134
You're welcome, honey.
Bye.
906
01:14:47,230 --> 01:14:49,054
Bye. Oh.
907
01:14:49,150 --> 01:14:50,588
What?
908
01:14:50,684 --> 01:14:53,847
I forgot to get Forney a gift
for watchin' Americus.
909
01:14:53,942 --> 01:14:55,959
- Oh, I know what you can give him.
- What?
910
01:14:57,780 --> 01:15:00,274
Oh!
911
01:15:01,807 --> 01:15:06,186
No, I-I'll give him...
hotel slippers.
912
01:15:06,220 --> 01:15:08,617
Oh, Novalee, that's just
what every man wants.
913
01:15:08,713 --> 01:15:11,400
A nice pair
of house slippers.
914
01:15:11,495 --> 01:15:13,316
- Bye.
- Bye.
915
01:15:20,222 --> 01:15:22,044
Forney.
916
01:15:57,725 --> 01:16:00,314
Mmm. Hi.
917
01:16:01,655 --> 01:16:04,535
- What time is it?
- It's late. Sorry.
918
01:16:05,588 --> 01:16:07,952
It's all right.
919
01:16:07,985 --> 01:16:11,153
- Mm, how was your trip?
- Great.
920
01:16:13,070 --> 01:16:14,891
Well, better get her to bed.
921
01:16:14,987 --> 01:16:17,096
No, that's okay.
I'll do it.
922
01:16:21,892 --> 01:16:24,289
Hey. There.
923
01:16:37,333 --> 01:16:39,158
- Forney?
- Mm-hmm.
924
01:16:47,886 --> 01:16:49,802
I brought these for you.
925
01:16:49,836 --> 01:16:52,682
Oh! Thanks.
926
01:16:57,762 --> 01:17:00,161
- Bye.
- Good night.
927
01:17:23,658 --> 01:17:25,480
Hello?
928
01:17:26,633 --> 01:17:28,839
Hello?
Is somebody there?
929
01:17:28,935 --> 01:17:30,850
Who?
930
01:17:32,386 --> 01:17:34,210
Brownie?
931
01:17:35,264 --> 01:17:37,277
Why? Where's Lexie?
932
01:17:38,333 --> 01:17:41,594
Brownie, is your mama there?
933
01:17:41,690 --> 01:17:44,341
Brownie.
934
01:17:44,374 --> 01:17:47,925
Brownie, let me talk to Lexie.
Put your mama on the phone.
935
01:17:50,322 --> 01:17:53,872
Why? What's wrong?
936
01:17:53,968 --> 01:17:55,789
I'm coming.
937
01:18:09,408 --> 01:18:11,229
Lexie?
938
01:18:28,016 --> 01:18:29,837
Are you both okay?
939
01:18:35,113 --> 01:18:37,414
You stay here, honey.
I'll be right back.
940
01:18:57,554 --> 01:18:59,280
Oh, God.
941
01:19:05,802 --> 01:19:09,065
Moses, can Lexie keep her things
in your barn for a while?
942
01:19:09,162 --> 01:19:11,941
- Sure. How come?
- She doesn't have any more sick leave,
943
01:19:12,037 --> 01:19:13,858
and she can't pay
for her apartment.
944
01:19:14,913 --> 01:19:17,888
Where are her
and the kids gonna stay?
945
01:19:19,326 --> 01:19:21,915
We had this for lunch.
946
01:19:22,010 --> 01:19:24,409
Well, finish it or you're
gonna have it for breakfast.
947
01:19:27,286 --> 01:19:29,107
No more.
948
01:19:32,658 --> 01:19:34,479
Sorry, honey.
949
01:19:37,836 --> 01:19:39,659
Eat your food, Brownie.
950
01:19:44,072 --> 01:19:47,139
Wanna eat?
951
01:20:23,681 --> 01:20:25,217
Lex.
952
01:20:27,805 --> 01:20:29,435
You all right?
953
01:20:46,701 --> 01:20:50,440
I was supposed to work
until 4:00 that day.
954
01:20:50,535 --> 01:20:53,798
But I decided to skip my lunch
hour and get off at 3:00...
955
01:20:53,831 --> 01:20:56,482
'cause Roger was coming in
from Fort Worth.
956
01:20:58,595 --> 01:21:01,183
I wanted to take a shower
and shampoo my hair.
957
01:21:05,017 --> 01:21:08,185
I picked up the baby
and the twins from the day care.
958
01:21:10,197 --> 01:21:14,994
And when I got home I was surprised
because Roger's car was in the driveway.
959
01:21:16,144 --> 01:21:18,890
And he said he wouldn't be there
until after 4:00.
960
01:21:18,924 --> 01:21:22,378
But Brownie and Praline were home,
and I knew they'd let him in.
961
01:21:24,775 --> 01:21:27,845
When I went inside,
962
01:21:27,942 --> 01:21:31,106
I heard a noise comin'
from the back of the apartment-
963
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:34,080
from my bedroom.
964
01:21:35,998 --> 01:21:39,740
And I set down the baby,
and I ran to see-
965
01:21:41,273 --> 01:21:43,670
There was somethin'
against the door.
966
01:21:44,724 --> 01:21:46,646
I had to push,
967
01:21:46,741 --> 01:21:48,658
and it was Praline.
968
01:21:48,754 --> 01:21:52,110
She was crumpled on the floor
coverin' her eyes.
969
01:21:52,206 --> 01:21:54,666
And...
970
01:21:54,700 --> 01:21:59,973
Roger had... Brownie...
on the bed.
971
01:22:02,181 --> 01:22:04,003
And he had his-
972
01:22:07,745 --> 01:22:09,567
And I flew at him.
973
01:22:12,634 --> 01:22:15,801
I wanted to kill him
and I would have.
974
01:22:15,896 --> 01:22:18,388
I hit him twice,
and that's all I remember.
975
01:22:21,364 --> 01:22:23,186
You know,
976
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:26,445
he went after
little Praline first,
977
01:22:26,541 --> 01:22:29,131
and she threw up on him.
978
01:22:30,571 --> 01:22:33,446
And that's
when Brownie came in.
979
01:22:41,022 --> 01:22:43,327
How did he find me,
Novalee?
980
01:22:43,422 --> 01:22:47,066
How do men like that
find my kids?
981
01:22:47,161 --> 01:22:50,425
How'd he know he could do
such a thing to us?
982
01:22:52,245 --> 01:22:54,354
He had to be lookin'.
983
01:22:54,450 --> 01:22:57,138
He was lookin' for women
like me...
984
01:22:57,171 --> 01:22:59,630
who are alone with children...
985
01:22:59,664 --> 01:23:01,739
and women who are stupid.
986
01:23:02,989 --> 01:23:05,577
And they saw through him.
987
01:23:05,672 --> 01:23:07,495
They could tell he was evil.
988
01:23:08,839 --> 01:23:11,429
And all I saw was a Buick.
989
01:23:16,225 --> 01:23:19,449
Oh, God.
990
01:23:19,483 --> 01:23:22,168
What am I gonna tell
my babies?
991
01:23:22,264 --> 01:23:24,280
What am I gonna say...
992
01:23:24,376 --> 01:23:28,115
to Brownie and Praline when they ask me
why this happened to them?
993
01:23:29,461 --> 01:23:32,719
What am I supposed to say, Novalee?
994
01:23:39,817 --> 01:23:42,884
You tell them-
995
01:23:42,984 --> 01:23:47,393
you tell them that our- our lives can
change with every breath we take.
996
01:23:48,927 --> 01:23:50,656
We both know that.
997
01:23:51,806 --> 01:23:55,258
And you tell them
to let go of what's gone.
998
01:23:56,311 --> 01:23:59,575
'Cause men like Roger Brisco
never win.
999
01:24:01,301 --> 01:24:05,810
And tell them to hold on
like hell to what they've got-
1000
01:24:06,959 --> 01:24:10,414
each other and a mother
who would die for them...
1001
01:24:10,447 --> 01:24:13,002
and almost did.
1002
01:24:13,098 --> 01:24:17,223
You tell them
we've all got meanness in us.
1003
01:24:19,620 --> 01:24:22,016
But we've got good in us too.
1004
01:24:24,512 --> 01:24:27,388
And the only thing
worth livin' for is the good.
1005
01:24:27,484 --> 01:24:31,705
And that is why we've got
to make sure to pass it on.
1006
01:24:54,531 --> 01:24:58,369
Forney, if you feed a cow chocolate,
will you get chocolate milk?
1007
01:24:58,465 --> 01:24:59,901
Yeah.
1008
01:24:59,998 --> 01:25:04,600
And, if you spin a cow around real fast,
you'll get whipped cream.
1009
01:25:04,695 --> 01:25:07,191
Wow!
You know a lot.
1010
01:25:07,287 --> 01:25:09,300
Well, I work in the library.
1011
01:25:47,186 --> 01:25:49,966
I don't know how you kept
her alive this long, Forney.
1012
01:25:52,267 --> 01:25:54,570
You're welcome
to ride along with us.
1013
01:26:49,815 --> 01:26:51,827
How did you find me?
1014
01:26:51,861 --> 01:26:53,746
Small town.
1015
01:26:55,570 --> 01:26:57,967
You didn't come to the service.
I was worried.
1016
01:26:58,063 --> 01:26:59,885
I didn't mean to worry you.
1017
01:27:01,417 --> 01:27:03,818
- Can I come in?
- Okay.
1018
01:27:21,750 --> 01:27:23,574
You all right?
1019
01:27:25,492 --> 01:27:27,794
I couldn't stay at the library.
I had to-
1020
01:27:27,889 --> 01:27:30,960
I understand.
1021
01:27:31,056 --> 01:27:33,549
I have to go away
for a while,
1022
01:27:33,582 --> 01:27:36,044
take Mary Elizabeth
back to Maine,
1023
01:27:36,078 --> 01:27:37,961
bury her in the family plot.
1024
01:27:39,878 --> 01:27:41,796
I'm so sorry, Forney.
1025
01:27:45,634 --> 01:27:47,743
I couldn't go
to the service.
1026
01:27:50,335 --> 01:27:52,827
I had four white roses.
1027
01:27:54,073 --> 01:27:57,239
And when I got to the service,
1028
01:27:57,335 --> 01:27:59,636
they turned brown.
1029
01:28:02,992 --> 01:28:05,775
I couldn't take her
brown roses.
1030
01:28:35,986 --> 01:28:40,303
I give my all
1031
01:28:40,399 --> 01:28:44,137
Or not at all
1032
01:28:45,865 --> 01:28:50,084
There's no in-between
1033
01:28:50,180 --> 01:28:53,347
I'll give my best
1034
01:28:53,443 --> 01:28:57,373
Won't second guess
1035
01:28:58,622 --> 01:29:02,744
This feeling deep in me
1036
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:06,165
I give my heart
Give my soul
1037
01:29:06,198 --> 01:29:11,471
I won't hold back
I'll give you everything
1038
01:29:11,504 --> 01:29:15,884
- Novalee.
- Yeah?
1039
01:29:15,979 --> 01:29:18,281
I love you.
1040
01:29:25,478 --> 01:29:27,299
He told you he loves you,
1041
01:29:27,394 --> 01:29:30,366
and you didn't say anything?
1042
01:29:30,401 --> 01:29:33,341
I'm a dope.
I'm such a dope.
1043
01:29:33,437 --> 01:29:37,464
But I was scared. I was confused,
and- It's just strange.
1044
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:40,055
Honey, don't take this wrong,
but Forney is strange.
1045
01:29:40,150 --> 01:29:42,643
So when's he comin' back?
1046
01:29:59,139 --> 01:30:02,019
- What was that all about?
- Nothing.
1047
01:30:02,114 --> 01:30:06,044
Nothin'? Why was Ernie
the exterminator honkin' at you?
1048
01:30:06,140 --> 01:30:10,169
Oh. I said I'd, uh...
go out with him.
1049
01:30:10,265 --> 01:30:14,582
- You told him you'd what?
- I said I'd go out on a date with him.
1050
01:30:14,615 --> 01:30:18,322
- How'd that happen?
- Tsk.
1051
01:30:18,418 --> 01:30:20,817
Well, he's Brownie's
soccer coach.
1052
01:30:20,912 --> 01:30:24,844
And he makes him laugh, which,
let's face it, nobody does.
1053
01:30:24,939 --> 01:30:27,339
And that psychologist
said it would be a good idea,
1054
01:30:27,435 --> 01:30:29,927
but I don't know.
1055
01:30:30,023 --> 01:30:33,187
Oh, man. You don't think he's gonna
wear that orange jumpsuit on our date.
1056
01:30:33,283 --> 01:30:35,011
Do ya?
1057
01:30:51,793 --> 01:30:55,344
You know, maybe it was a bad
idea to tuck in the shirts.
1058
01:30:55,440 --> 01:30:58,795
Yeah. All right. Whoa.
1059
01:30:58,891 --> 01:31:01,579
Isn't there a championship
banner or somethin'?
1060
01:31:01,675 --> 01:31:05,988
Oh, we're not the champions. We're just
celebratin' we lived through the season.
1061
01:31:06,022 --> 01:31:08,101
All right.
1062
01:31:08,197 --> 01:31:10,402
Well, here we go, then.
1063
01:31:10,436 --> 01:31:13,470
Smile.
1064
01:31:15,965 --> 01:31:18,519
Novalee, do you know
how to reach Forney?
1065
01:31:18,553 --> 01:31:21,237
It's about some legal work
involvin' the library.
1066
01:31:21,334 --> 01:31:23,733
Oh, I expect him back
today or tomorrow.
1067
01:31:23,766 --> 01:31:26,802
- Forney's comin' back?
- Sure.
1068
01:31:26,898 --> 01:31:29,297
Well, I just figured,
with Mary Elizabeth gone,
1069
01:31:29,392 --> 01:31:31,885
he'd wanna pick up
with his life again...
1070
01:31:31,980 --> 01:31:33,803
or go back to college.
1071
01:31:33,899 --> 01:31:36,394
Hey, did you know his great grandfather
was governor of Maine?
1072
01:31:37,832 --> 01:31:39,652
No.
1073
01:31:39,748 --> 01:31:42,533
Well, sometimes things work out
for the best.
1074
01:31:42,628 --> 01:31:45,791
Now he can get out of here
and have a real life.
1075
01:31:47,518 --> 01:31:51,067
All right. Let's take this picture.
We're all startin' to smell.
1076
01:31:56,248 --> 01:31:58,069
Hello?
1077
01:31:59,890 --> 01:32:01,808
Where are you?
1078
01:32:03,153 --> 01:32:04,974
When'd you get back?
1079
01:32:06,125 --> 01:32:07,947
No, no, no.
I'll come over.
1080
01:32:08,042 --> 01:32:10,537
I'll come there.
Okay? Bye.
1081
01:32:19,744 --> 01:32:21,853
- Hi.
- Hey.
1082
01:32:30,583 --> 01:32:32,405
Come in.
1083
01:32:34,130 --> 01:32:37,297
- Sorry I called so late.
- No, no. That's-
1084
01:32:37,331 --> 01:32:39,407
- So how was your trip?
- Good.
1085
01:32:39,503 --> 01:32:42,761
Okay.
You wanna sit down?
1086
01:32:42,857 --> 01:32:44,681
Sure.
1087
01:32:46,696 --> 01:32:49,763
I was startin' to worry a little
when you didn't come back. I thought-
1088
01:32:49,796 --> 01:32:52,515
Oh. I forgot
how lovely it is back there.
1089
01:32:52,547 --> 01:32:55,230
- Very different from here.
- I'll bet.
1090
01:32:55,326 --> 01:32:58,492
- I drove over to Bowden.
- Mm-hmm?
1091
01:32:58,588 --> 01:33:01,814
Yeah. I, uh, was only
gonna go for a couple of hours.
1092
01:33:01,847 --> 01:33:06,452
I wind up staying two days.
I saw a couple of my old professors.
1093
01:33:06,549 --> 01:33:09,424
I forgot what a great library
they have there.
1094
01:33:12,016 --> 01:33:14,604
Have they hired
a new librarian here yet?
1095
01:33:14,700 --> 01:33:18,250
Yeah.
Mayor Allbert's daughter.
1096
01:33:18,346 --> 01:33:19,496
Oh.
1097
01:33:21,606 --> 01:33:23,428
Well.
1098
01:33:23,524 --> 01:33:26,114
Oh, well. It's okay.
I wouldn't want to go back there anyway.
1099
01:33:27,745 --> 01:33:30,237
I hear they're hiring
at the plastics factory.
1100
01:33:30,333 --> 01:33:32,445
I'll bet I could
get a job there.
1101
01:33:34,171 --> 01:33:36,471
Are you okay?
1102
01:33:36,567 --> 01:33:38,389
What about teaching?
1103
01:33:38,484 --> 01:33:41,076
You said once you wanted
to be a history teacher.
1104
01:33:41,172 --> 01:33:43,761
Oh, that was a long time ago.
1105
01:33:43,857 --> 01:33:48,044
- But if it's what you want, I-
- What I want?
1106
01:33:48,078 --> 01:33:52,778
What I want is to be with you-
to be with you and Americus.
1107
01:33:53,927 --> 01:33:56,277
I love you.
I love you so much.
1108
01:33:56,310 --> 01:33:58,592
When we were here together-
1109
01:33:58,625 --> 01:34:00,354
That might have been
a mistake.
1110
01:34:00,449 --> 01:34:03,517
- Mistake?
- I mean-
1111
01:34:03,613 --> 01:34:07,451
Are you saying you made love to me
because you felt sorry for me? Is that it?
1112
01:34:07,485 --> 01:34:11,286
- No.
- Then what? It was a bad decision, an impulse?
1113
01:34:11,383 --> 01:34:14,069
- Forney.
- Do you love me?
1114
01:34:15,604 --> 01:34:19,825
You are the best friend
I've ever had.
1115
01:34:19,921 --> 01:34:23,371
- Just answer me.
- You delivered my baby.
1116
01:34:23,467 --> 01:34:26,151
Do you love me?
1117
01:34:27,305 --> 01:34:29,127
No.
1118
01:34:31,332 --> 01:34:36,320
No, Forney, I don't love you-
not that way.
1119
01:35:15,931 --> 01:35:18,327
This place looks good.
1120
01:35:18,423 --> 01:35:21,204
It's nice and bright.
1121
01:35:21,303 --> 01:35:23,700
The carpet looks new.
1122
01:35:23,796 --> 01:35:26,768
My kids could turn this place
into a dump before the door closes.
1123
01:35:26,801 --> 01:35:29,550
Look. You can see the library.
1124
01:35:29,646 --> 01:35:31,755
Yeah.
1125
01:35:31,850 --> 01:35:33,673
You ever hear
from Joe College?
1126
01:35:33,769 --> 01:35:35,785
He writes to Americus,
sends her books.
1127
01:35:37,415 --> 01:35:39,619
At the end of every letter,
he writes,
1128
01:35:39,715 --> 01:35:42,786
"Please tell your mother
I extend my best wishes."
1129
01:35:42,882 --> 01:35:45,183
Hot.
You written him back?
1130
01:35:45,279 --> 01:35:48,538
No. What could I say to him?
1131
01:35:48,633 --> 01:35:50,937
Oh, God, that
you lied to him for one.
1132
01:35:51,034 --> 01:35:53,108
That you love him.
That you miss him.
1133
01:35:53,142 --> 01:35:55,347
That these have been the most miserable
three months of your life...
1134
01:35:55,381 --> 01:35:57,269
and that he should come back.
1135
01:35:57,301 --> 01:35:59,439
Come back to what?
1136
01:35:59,472 --> 01:36:01,357
To a job
at the plastics factory...
1137
01:36:01,391 --> 01:36:03,502
or flippin' burgers
at Lita's Drive-in?
1138
01:36:03,598 --> 01:36:06,186
- Or drivin'a delivery truck?
- What about Wal-Mart?
1139
01:36:06,220 --> 01:36:08,296
- No.
- Oh, so it's okay for you,
1140
01:36:08,392 --> 01:36:10,599
but it's not good enough
for him.
1141
01:36:10,695 --> 01:36:13,955
- No.
- Novalee, you never thought you deserved Forney.
1142
01:36:14,051 --> 01:36:16,451
You never thought
you were good enough for him.
1143
01:36:16,547 --> 01:36:18,656
Honey, I know that your mother
walked out on you...
1144
01:36:18,752 --> 01:36:20,765
and what that butthole
Willy Jack did,
1145
01:36:20,861 --> 01:36:23,069
but that is what makes
them trash, not you.
1146
01:36:24,986 --> 01:36:28,246
- You still seein' Ernie?
- Sort of.
1147
01:36:28,341 --> 01:36:31,124
- You know, sort of.
- So you like him or what?
1148
01:36:31,220 --> 01:36:33,856
I don't know.
He's, you know,
1149
01:36:33,890 --> 01:36:36,493
he's got kids of his own...
1150
01:36:36,588 --> 01:36:39,277
and the man kills bugs
for a living, for goodness sake.
1151
01:36:39,373 --> 01:36:41,194
I just don't think
he's my type.
1152
01:36:55,484 --> 01:36:59,609
- You like that, huh?
- Ah!
1153
01:37:04,885 --> 01:37:06,802
Mustang Sally
1154
01:37:13,037 --> 01:37:17,542
Oh, you wanna know how I knew Ernie was
different and he was the one?
1155
01:37:17,637 --> 01:37:20,518
- Sure.
- Well, you can't tell anybody 'cause it's a secret.
1156
01:37:20,613 --> 01:37:22,530
Okay.
1157
01:37:22,627 --> 01:37:24,448
- Ernie's daughter Carol Ann...
- Uh-huh?
1158
01:37:24,547 --> 01:37:26,368
is not his daughter.
1159
01:37:26,464 --> 01:37:30,170
His ex, Maxine- she had
Caroline before they met.
1160
01:37:30,203 --> 01:37:34,199
And they had Cody together. She decided
she's splittin' and she doesn't want Cody.
1161
01:37:34,233 --> 01:37:37,779
But she decides she doesn't want Carol Ann
either until she finds out that Ernie does.
1162
01:37:37,813 --> 01:37:40,241
And then she's got somethin'
to bargain with.
1163
01:37:40,275 --> 01:37:45,168
Ernie had this bright red fully-restored
'67 Camaro. I mean, a beauty.
1164
01:37:45,201 --> 01:37:47,051
And she wants it.
1165
01:37:47,084 --> 01:37:50,824
So he trades his car.
for her daughter.
1166
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:53,895
Oh, my God.
1167
01:37:53,990 --> 01:37:56,866
When he told me that, Novalee,
I knew he was the pick of the litter.
1168
01:37:59,553 --> 01:38:03,291
I am so happy
I finally found me a winner.
1169
01:38:03,326 --> 01:38:05,692
Oh. I'm also pregnant.
1170
01:38:07,225 --> 01:38:09,588
What?
1171
01:38:09,622 --> 01:38:12,598
All you wanna do is
ride around, Sally
1172
01:38:12,631 --> 01:38:15,186
Ride, Sally, ride
1173
01:38:17,295 --> 01:38:22,379
Can't he see
my head is reeling
1174
01:38:22,475 --> 01:38:27,750
There's so many things
I'm feeling
1175
01:38:27,846 --> 01:38:30,818
Don't know what I'm thinking
1176
01:38:30,914 --> 01:38:35,807
Oh, I'm so in love
1177
01:38:38,491 --> 01:38:42,521
Pardon me
if I seem distant
1178
01:38:48,850 --> 01:38:51,055
Hey.
1179
01:38:51,151 --> 01:38:53,743
- Where the hell are your shoes?
- What?
1180
01:38:57,289 --> 01:39:00,553
- Why did we stop?
- I'm hungry.
1181
01:39:00,649 --> 01:39:04,099
It wouldn't hurt you to get something
inside you besides pills and whiskey.
1182
01:39:04,195 --> 01:39:06,592
Don't you start.
1183
01:39:07,746 --> 01:39:09,664
Suit yourself.
1184
01:40:07,208 --> 01:40:10,134
Ow. Shit!
1185
01:40:10,167 --> 01:40:13,058
Shit. Ah.
1186
01:40:13,153 --> 01:40:15,747
Wanna feel the baby?
- Huh?
1187
01:40:21,211 --> 01:40:23,322
Feel that? Right here.
1188
01:40:23,418 --> 01:40:26,007
That little bomp-bomp-bomp?
That's where the heart is.
1189
01:40:26,102 --> 01:40:28,404
I don't feel nothin'.
1190
01:40:53,436 --> 01:40:55,258
Yeah!
1191
01:40:56,504 --> 01:40:58,617
How about that?
What do you think of my cake?
1192
01:40:58,712 --> 01:41:01,973
- As pretty as a picture.
- Thank you. I saw it in a magazine.
1193
01:41:02,069 --> 01:41:03,989
Thought, "I could do that."
1194
01:41:04,084 --> 01:41:05,969
I'm ready for candles.
1195
01:41:06,002 --> 01:41:08,302
- No candles.
- Why? It's her birthday.
1196
01:41:08,398 --> 01:41:10,411
Five days old,
she got the jaundice.
1197
01:41:10,511 --> 01:41:12,523
Five weeks old,
she got an ear infection.
1198
01:41:12,619 --> 01:41:14,824
Five months old, she was kidnapped.
Five years old?
1199
01:41:14,919 --> 01:41:17,029
I'm not lightin'
any fires, thank you.
1200
01:41:17,125 --> 01:41:19,429
Novalee, you're a pip.
1201
01:41:19,525 --> 01:41:21,346
- Does everybody have one?
- Yeah.
1202
01:41:21,442 --> 01:41:24,609
All right.
Come on. Let's go!
1203
01:41:24,704 --> 01:41:26,814
Oh, I'll get those.
1204
01:41:28,730 --> 01:41:32,664
Honey, it's been a perfect day.
It's gonna keep bein' a perfect day.
1205
01:41:32,697 --> 01:41:34,869
It's her birthday cake.
She's gotta have candles.
1206
01:41:34,965 --> 01:41:37,554
- If you say so.
- What is it?
1207
01:41:37,650 --> 01:41:41,200
Let me see.
"Victim's Wheelchair Stolen"?
1208
01:41:44,751 --> 01:41:47,784
"A legless man,
identified as W.J. Pickens,
1209
01:41:47,818 --> 01:41:50,694
was discovered Sunday afternoon in
a men's room at a rest stop near Alva."
1210
01:41:51,656 --> 01:41:53,381
Oh, my gosh.
1211
01:41:53,477 --> 01:41:58,562
"Pickens, who lost his legs
four months ago in a train accident,
1212
01:41:58,657 --> 01:42:02,874
had been trapped since sometime late Friday
when he was robbed of his wheelchair."
1213
01:42:02,971 --> 01:42:04,888
Oh, my God.
1214
01:42:07,959 --> 01:42:09,973
What'd you say?
1215
01:42:20,427 --> 01:42:22,441
Novalee?
1216
01:42:22,537 --> 01:42:24,455
Yeah.
1217
01:42:24,551 --> 01:42:26,375
I can't believe it.
1218
01:42:29,633 --> 01:42:31,456
How'd you know I was here?
1219
01:42:31,552 --> 01:42:33,759
The story in the paper.
1220
01:42:39,706 --> 01:42:41,528
I was comin' to see you.
1221
01:42:41,623 --> 01:42:43,444
Sure.
1222
01:42:43,540 --> 01:42:45,363
I was.
1223
01:42:45,459 --> 01:42:48,337
Why? What were you gonna do,
WillyJack?
1224
01:42:48,433 --> 01:42:52,364
Come back to the Wal-Mart, think I'd still
be there waitin' for you five years later?
1225
01:42:53,709 --> 01:42:55,627
No.
1226
01:42:56,968 --> 01:42:59,077
I just-
1227
01:42:59,173 --> 01:43:02,244
I gave birth at a Wal-Mart.
1228
01:43:02,341 --> 01:43:04,401
Was it a boy?
1229
01:43:04,434 --> 01:43:06,462
Was it a girl?
1230
01:43:08,574 --> 01:43:11,258
- Is it all right? Does it have a name?
- Yes, it's a girl.
1231
01:43:11,354 --> 01:43:13,851
Her name's Americus, and she's mine.
You stay away from her.
1232
01:43:13,946 --> 01:43:17,780
Stay away from her? I can't even
get out of this bad, Novalee.
1233
01:43:18,931 --> 01:43:21,427
What am I gonna do,
run away with her?
1234
01:43:21,523 --> 01:43:25,645
- If you think I'm gonna feel sorry
for you- - I'll get new legs and liver.
1235
01:43:25,742 --> 01:43:28,490
Why did you come here?
Why are you coming after us?
1236
01:43:28,523 --> 01:43:31,879
Is there a problem here? I can
hear you all the way down the hall.
1237
01:43:33,796 --> 01:43:35,620
Sorry.
1238
01:43:42,047 --> 01:43:43,965
You need another shot?
1239
01:43:44,061 --> 01:43:46,649
No. Let's wait.
1240
01:44:05,064 --> 01:44:07,270
I came back
to tell you something.
1241
01:44:09,285 --> 01:44:13,217
You remember that last day-
that last day we was together?
1242
01:44:13,312 --> 01:44:15,229
Yeah, I remember.
1243
01:44:15,325 --> 01:44:18,588
You put my hand
on your belly...
1244
01:44:18,684 --> 01:44:20,889
and asked me if I could feel
the baby's heart.
1245
01:44:20,985 --> 01:44:23,192
I said no.
1246
01:44:25,110 --> 01:44:26,931
I- I lied.
1247
01:44:28,656 --> 01:44:30,481
Why?
1248
01:44:30,577 --> 01:44:33,932
Why does anyone lie?
1249
01:44:34,028 --> 01:44:36,428
'Cause we're scared
or crazy...
1250
01:44:36,524 --> 01:44:38,409
or just mean.
1251
01:44:38,442 --> 01:44:41,414
I mean, there's a million
reasons to lie, Novalee.
1252
01:44:42,467 --> 01:44:45,347
Sometimes you tell
a lie so big, it-
1253
01:44:45,381 --> 01:44:47,263
it'll change
your whole life.
1254
01:44:51,102 --> 01:44:53,499
The lie's so big,
1255
01:44:53,594 --> 01:44:55,416
it makes you think...
1256
01:44:57,720 --> 01:44:59,924
"I'd do anything...
1257
01:45:00,021 --> 01:45:03,284
if I could have just one chance
to set it straight."
1258
01:45:05,009 --> 01:45:07,213
Just one chance
to change it.
1259
01:45:11,243 --> 01:45:13,353
You don't know what I mean.
1260
01:45:15,174 --> 01:45:17,095
Yeah.
1261
01:45:18,053 --> 01:45:19,971
I do.
1262
01:45:42,988 --> 01:45:45,162
Away
1263
01:45:45,196 --> 01:45:47,593
Beyond
1264
01:45:47,688 --> 01:45:50,276
The blue
1265
01:45:52,101 --> 01:45:54,498
Away
1266
01:45:54,593 --> 01:45:56,669
Beyond
1267
01:45:56,703 --> 01:45:59,007
The blue
1268
01:45:59,102 --> 01:46:01,211
I'm open!
1269
01:46:01,307 --> 01:46:03,608
One star
1270
01:46:03,704 --> 01:46:07,734
Belongs to you
1271
01:46:10,610 --> 01:46:12,913
One star
1272
01:46:12,946 --> 01:46:15,518
Belongs
1273
01:46:15,552 --> 01:46:18,090
To you
1274
01:46:19,818 --> 01:46:24,421
And every breath
1275
01:46:24,516 --> 01:46:27,204
I take
1276
01:46:29,025 --> 01:46:33,629
- And every breath
- And every breath
1277
01:46:33,725 --> 01:46:36,314
I take
1278
01:46:38,232 --> 01:46:42,932
I'm closer to
I'm closer to
1279
01:46:42,965 --> 01:46:46,290
That place
1280
01:46:47,729 --> 01:46:51,851
I'm closer to
I'm closer to
1281
01:46:51,947 --> 01:46:55,401
That place
1282
01:47:16,884 --> 01:47:18,706
Oh.
1283
01:47:33,187 --> 01:47:35,011
Novalee?
1284
01:47:36,834 --> 01:47:38,655
Novalee!
1285
01:47:41,247 --> 01:47:43,069
Novalee.
1286
01:47:44,889 --> 01:47:47,382
What are you doing here?
1287
01:47:47,477 --> 01:47:50,070
- I- - Are you all right?
Is Americus all right?
1288
01:47:50,166 --> 01:47:52,562
Yes, she's fine.
1289
01:47:52,658 --> 01:47:55,633
Well, when,
when did you get here?
1290
01:47:55,728 --> 01:47:57,612
- I just drove.
- You drove?
1291
01:47:57,646 --> 01:48:00,905
- All the way from Oklahoma?
- Yeah- No- Uh-
1292
01:48:01,001 --> 01:48:03,113
First I stopped in Tennessee.
1293
01:48:03,209 --> 01:48:06,373
I had to drop someone off.
1294
01:48:06,470 --> 01:48:08,164
- Oh.
- Old friend.
1295
01:48:08,198 --> 01:48:12,127
- Somebody who needed to go home.
- Oh. Well.
1296
01:48:12,161 --> 01:48:13,949
I lied, Forney.
1297
01:48:14,045 --> 01:48:16,348
You lied?
You didn't go to Tennessee?
1298
01:48:16,444 --> 01:48:19,129
No. Yes,
I did go to Tennessee-
1299
01:48:19,225 --> 01:48:22,775
Forney, hey. Hey, we're gonna go
to Sam's for some coffee.
1300
01:48:22,871 --> 01:48:25,747
- Uh, do you wanna come?
- Uh, yeah, yeah. I'll catch up later.
1301
01:48:25,843 --> 01:48:27,760
- Okay.
- Okay.
1302
01:48:30,064 --> 01:48:31,695
It's too late,
isn't it, Forney?
1303
01:48:31,886 --> 01:48:33,035
Too late?
1304
01:48:33,131 --> 01:48:35,628
For what?
1305
01:48:35,723 --> 01:48:37,544
I lied to you...
1306
01:48:37,641 --> 01:48:40,710
when you asked me if
I loved you, and I said "no."
1307
01:48:42,821 --> 01:48:44,834
- Remember?
- Yes.
1308
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:48,764
I lied, Forney.
1309
01:48:48,860 --> 01:48:51,164
It wasn't true. I-
1310
01:48:51,260 --> 01:48:53,081
I love you.
1311
01:48:54,136 --> 01:48:56,823
It's just I lied because...
1312
01:48:58,070 --> 01:49:00,274
I thought you deserved
something better.
1313
01:49:00,369 --> 01:49:02,191
Something better than you?
1314
01:49:03,824 --> 01:49:06,892
Novalee, there isn't
anything better than you.
1315
01:49:19,266 --> 01:49:22,046
There you are
1316
01:49:22,142 --> 01:49:25,500
In the early light of day
1317
01:49:25,595 --> 01:49:28,376
There you are
1318
01:49:28,471 --> 01:49:31,925
In the quiet words I pray
1319
01:49:32,022 --> 01:49:34,609
I've been blessed
1320
01:49:34,705 --> 01:49:37,298
Attention, Wal-Mart shoppers...
1321
01:49:37,394 --> 01:49:39,215
and wedding guests.
1322
01:49:39,310 --> 01:49:43,720
Our garden center is running
a special on potting soil and rakes.
1323
01:49:43,754 --> 01:49:47,175
Every time I turn around
1324
01:49:47,270 --> 01:49:50,530
When I'm lost
and when I'm found
1325
01:49:50,626 --> 01:49:53,410
Like an angel
standing by
1326
01:49:53,697 --> 01:49:56,573
There you are
1327
01:49:56,669 --> 01:49:59,835
Every time I take a breath
1328
01:49:59,931 --> 01:50:03,047
And when I forget to breathe
1329
01:50:03,081 --> 01:50:06,165
You're watchin'over me
1330
01:50:06,262 --> 01:50:09,234
There you are
1331
01:50:09,329 --> 01:50:12,591
When I'm looking
for the light
1332
01:50:12,688 --> 01:50:15,659
In the middle of the night
1333
01:50:15,755 --> 01:50:18,826
Searching
for the brightest star
1334
01:50:18,860 --> 01:50:23,907
There you are
1335
01:50:32,349 --> 01:50:34,651
The cool grass
of the river bank
1336
01:50:34,746 --> 01:50:38,293
We were lyin'there
We were soakin' wet
1337
01:50:38,389 --> 01:50:40,597
Feelin'things
we'd never felt
1338
01:50:40,693 --> 01:50:43,665
We were jumpin'in
deep as we could get
1339
01:50:43,760 --> 01:50:45,581
That night
That night
1340
01:50:45,682 --> 01:50:47,503
That night
That night
1341
01:50:47,599 --> 01:50:49,803
The moon so bright
The moon so bright
1342
01:50:49,899 --> 01:50:52,971

Sometimes it's hard
You don't wanna
1372
01:52:46,717 --> 01:52:49,213
Look over your shoulder
1373
01:52:51,130 --> 01:52:53,719
'Cause you don't want to
1374
01:52:53,815 --> 01:52:56,502
Remember where you've been

01:52:58,228 --> 01:53:00,912
There'll come a time you die
1376
01:53:01,009 --> 01:53:03,503
If you could only hold her

01:53:05,325 --> 01:53:07,242
'Cause I know
1378
01:53:07,276 --> 01:53:09,159

01:53:31,158 --> 01:53:35,631
That's leading you

'Cause that's the beat
of the heart
1387
01:53:42,824 --> 01:53:45,127

01:53:45,223 --> 01:53:48,483
Can tell you
how to get there
1389
01:53:48,579 --> 01:53:50,787
It's a road you take
1390
01:53:50,883 --> 01:53:53,567
All by yourself
1391
01:53:55,004 --> 01:53:57,501
All by yourself
1392
01:53:57,597 --> 01:54:00,569
All by yourself
