You ain't ever gonna amount to nothin'.

I'm surprised you had the
nerve to show up this

mornin' after that stompin'
y'all took last night.

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

- Could've been worse.
- Yeah.

You could say that
about nearly everything, I guess.

A few football teams
have had some luck with tackling.

Keeps the other team
from scoring quite so often.

Sounds too rough for me.

♪ That make the teardrops fall ♪

♪ Why can't I free your doubtful mind ♪ - You
don't even care if it was your last game.

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

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

- ♪ To try, it just ain't smart ♪
- Oh.

♪ Why can't I free your doubtful mind ♪

Now, you see, this is what I get
for bettin' on my hometown ball team.

I ought to have better sense.

Wouldn't hurt
if you had a better hometown.

Do you mind pointing that at the floor

I don't want my eye poked out.

pool hall than you are on a football field.

- Hey.

You ever heard of tackling?

♪ Why can't I free your doubtful mind ♪

♪ And melt your cold, cold heart ♪ ♪

Hey, Duane.

Boy, I froze my ass last night.

Hey! Why the hell can't you kids
learn to tackle?

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

Hike me one!

Here comes the bomb, Crawford!

- Look at that, Larry. They can catch.
- Feisty sons of bitches, ain't they?

- Wish they could tackle.
- Or do something useful.

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

- Hey, hup!
- Hup!

Straight out, Crawford, one more time.
Whoo-ee!

All right, you boys. Cut it out.

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

- We could have run off to Mexico with this, you know.
- Mmm.

♪ As the door of love between us closes ♪

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

Down payment on breakfast.
Let somebody prosperous play the jukebox.

Nobody prosperous would eat here.

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

- Say, you want the pickup first tonight?
- Nah.

I oughtn't get it first every Saturday
night. It's half yours, you know.

- Go ahead.
- You sure?

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

make, and I have to go clear
to Ranger this afternoon.

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

My goodness, Sonny.

Frank hadn't ought to
work you so late on weekends.

That's what I keep telling him.

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

Hope you don't want no popcorn,
'cause there ain't none.

And you missed the newsreel too.

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

Thanks, Miss Mosey.

I was wondering if my daughter

had deserted us, too,
when I heard her voice.

Pa! Pa!

- Hi, Pa.
- Kay was our only daughter.

I know a father's not supposed
to have favorites...

but when it's Kay...

- Mmm, you smell good.
- You like it?

Mm-hmm.

- What's that?
- An atomizer.

- Where'd you get it? A present?
- Mm-hmm.

- Who from?
- Oh, somebody.

I decided you had a wreck.

What's happened to you? You look different.

- I do?
- Yeah.

You look all lit up inside.

You're not wearing
your usual deadpan look...

that "how did I ever get
into this family" look.

Oh, Father.

Oh, I know. You've been taking
those vitamins that Dr. Gray sent you, huh?

That's right.

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

I'll get it, Delilah.

What's the matter with her?

She looks kind of queer.

Guess what.

What?

It's our anniversary.

What?

We've been going steady a year tonight.

Yeah?

Seems like a lot longer.

You should have got me
some anniversary present.

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

You can give me a dollar too.

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

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

- He's coming for me in a few minutes.
- I'll get your coffee.

Where'd the boys go?

Ben had some date,
and Tommy went to basketball practice.

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

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

All they ever want to do is neck anyway.

Buckley says I'm not too young
for a man to marry.

- I didn't marry your mother till I was 25.
- Oh, I know, Pop...

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

- Hey, so long, Sam.
- Bye, Sam. Come on!

- Good night.
- Good night, Sam. Sure did like the picture.

- Well, good. - Good night.
- Good night.

- You said this was our anniversary.

Let's do something different.

Well, I like that. You cheapskate.

Didn't even get me an anniversary present,
and now you wanna go and get me pregnant.

Oh, my God, Charlene.
It was just my hand.

Yeah. One thing leads to another.

My mama told me how that old stuff goes.

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

You wasn't no livelier than me.

That's 'cause you ain't good-lookin'
enough. You ain't even got a ducktail.

Well, anyway, I'm done late.
Let's go on home.

Some anniversary.

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

- What?
- I don't want to spoil no more anniversaries for you.

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

I might have known you wasn't dependable.

- You wasn't even in the backfield either.
- Now, what's that got to do with it?

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

And you give me back my pictures too.

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

You wasn't very hot.

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

- I ain't blue about her.
- She don't even have a good disposition.

What are you blue about then?

There ain't nobody to go with in this town.

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

I call that his tough luck.

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

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

Did your dad give you this?

He needs all he's got.

It wouldn't hurt you to take a little
something from him once in a while.

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

Him with a mother and you with a father.
It don't seem right.

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

Yeah.

Then I'm no one to talk.
I never did get on with Mama. Still don't.

- Say, I hear Dan's goin' back to work soon.
- ♪ Say, hey, good-lookin' ♪

I guess you'll be quittin' before long.

Honey, we got $4,000 worth
of doctor bills to pay.

I will probably be making cheeseburgers
for your grandkids.

Look at the little ducktail over here!

Oh, go to hell.

What's wrong with you, you duck ass?

Well...

I wonder what my chances are
this morning...

of interesting you kids in John Keats.

None at all.

Joe Bob.

Well, I read that poem of his
about the nightingale...

and I didn't think it was so good.

Sounded like he wanted
to be a nightingale.

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

Maybe he just wanted to be immortal.

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

Anyone can do it if they love the Lord.

Well, maybe so, Joe Bob. Maybe so.

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

"When old age
shall this generation waste...

"thou shalt remain...

"in midst of other woe than ours...

"a friend to man...

"to whom thou sayest...

"beauty is truth; Truth, beauty.

"That is all ye know on earth...

and all ye need to know."

Run, you little pissants! Run!

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

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

Here, Joe Bob, quit flapping your arms.

You look like a goddamned goose.

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

What kind of female you ever gonna get?

Tough it out! Tough it out.

Run, you little pissants.

All right, off the court.

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

Come here a minute, Sonny.

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

Sure, Coach.

Now, my old lady's got to go over
to the doctor in Olney tomorrow.

You know women.
There's always something wrong with them.

Yeah, I guess.

Well... Take it from me.

Anyway, I haven't got time to drive her.

Now, if you'll do this for me...

I'll get you out of civic class.

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

You tell her you got to get back
in time for practice...

so she won't stay in there too long.

I've got enough bills to pay already.

Hey, you know what's the trouble
with you little pissants?

You ain't got no school spirit!

Oh, Mama, you know I love you. But I love
Duane, too, even if you don't like it.

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

You wouldn't be rich any more,
and in about two months...

- I don't care about money. Not at all.
- He'd stop flattering you.

Well, you're pretty stupid then.

Well, you married Daddy when he was poor,
and he got rich, didn't he?

Scared your daddy
into getting rich, beautiful.

Well, if daddy could do it,
Duane could too.

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

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

Not much danger of that.

- You slept with him?
- Mama!

We'll go to the doctor sometime
and arrange something...

so that you don't have to worry
about babies.

- You do have to be careful of that, you know.
- But, Mama, it's a sin, isn't it?

Unless you're married?
You know I wouldn't do that.

Oh! Don't be so mealymouthed.

I thought, if you slept
with him a few times...

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

Then we can send you away to a good
school and you can marry some wealthy boy.

But I don't want to leave.

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

Because everything is flat and empty here.

Ain't nothin' to do.

- Can I have some of that?
- Help yourself. Don't you have any?

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

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

You ought to leave your

Also every morning Monday through Friday,

And every Wednesday night at 9:00

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

- You want to run over there with me later?

- Well, that's okay.
- I just couldn't get loose a minute to shop.

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

Oh, it's just beautiful.

It's just what I've been wantin'.

- Well, you don't.
- Oh, I do too.

- I could just kill my mother.
- What do you mean?

She made me promise to go to a swim party in
Wichita with what's-his-name... Lester Marlow.

- Well, goddamn. What kind of thing is that?
- 'Cause his folks are so rich.

- Don't be mad at me, Duane.
- I ain't mad at you, but goddamn it!

He keeps asking Mama.

- Well, goddamn!
- All I wanna do is stay with the man I love.

Goddamn!

- Oh, hi.
- Want to help me?

Okay.

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

Oh? Why?

Do you mind my asking?

I was goin' with Charlene Duggs.

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

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

I hope you're not sad about it.

I don't think Charlene's

- Ew!
- It wouldn't make no difference to Billy.

Look, I don't think
we should try anything like that.

Why not? It wouldn't cost us
more than a dollar and a half.

Hell, if that's all she costs,
we ought to get her ourselves.

Shit! Heifer's better than Jimmie Sue.

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

Come on. Let's get those pants off, boys.

Whoo!

You ain't gonna be a virgin much longer.

Come on, Billy. We're gonna get you laid.

Whoo!

- Do the job, Billy.
- Get her, Billy boy.

Why, this is the dumbest thing I ever seen!

- He don't even know what to do.
- Come on, Billy!

Damn it. Put it to her, boy.

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

You kids stop that yelling out there.
Got a hold of this thing. It ain't even in!

Goddamn... What you...
Goddamn, you stupid little thing!

Couldn't even wait. Look at this mess!

- You okay, Billy?
- You all right?

Well, now I know.
Idiot's as bad as Mexicans.

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

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

Which one of you bloodied his nose?

I've told y'all not to fight with Billy
'cause he don't understand about fightin'.

- What happened, Sonny?
- It weren't none of us, Sam.

Nah. It was Jimmie Sue.

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

We all chipped in
and bought him a piece of ass.

Thought he was getting tired
of being a virgin.

She got mad about somethin'
and bloodied his nose.

Now, you boys can get on out of here. I
don't want to have no more to do with you.

Scaring a poor,
unfortunate creature like Billy...

just so's you could have a few laughs.

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

I'm getting tired of putting up with it.

Now, you can stay out of this pool hall...

out of my café
and my picture show too.

I don't want no more of your business.

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

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

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

Can he?

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

You're sure he won't come?

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

It's all right.

I'm sorry I cried.

Just a-scared, I guess.

Oh, he ain't gonna come.

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

No, not scared of that.

Scared I could never do this, I guess.

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

How could you like me?

Oh, I like you.

One thing I know for sure...

person can't sneeze in this town without

Hey, how come you've stayed
with the coach?

You don't like him much.

Oh, I weren't brought up
to leave a husband.

I guess that's why.

Maybe I was just scared to.

I never noticed how ugly this room is.

- What's your favorite color?
- Oh, I don't know. Blue.

- Maybe I'll repaper it.
- Well, why'd you marry him?

I don't know.
My mother didn't like him.

Maybe that was it.

But I was 20 years old.

I thought hairy-chested football coaches
were about it.

I'm gonna buy us a new quilt.

A blue one.

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

Shoot us probably.

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

I thought you boys wanted to fish.

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

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

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

- Want to try one?
- Sure.

I never liked to clean fish
or eat them either.

Spend half your time picking out bones.

Yeah, I just come out here
to get a little scenery.

Too pretty a day to spend in town.

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

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

or a prickly pear neither.

I used to own this land, you know.

First time I watered a horse at this tank
was more than 40 years ago.

I reckon the reason
why I always drag you out here...

is probably I'm just as sentimental as the
next fella when it comes to old times.

Old times.

I brought a young lady
swimming out here once.

More than 20 years ago.

It was after my wife had lost her mind
and my boys was dead.

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

In pretty deep.

We used to come out here a-horseback
and go swimmin' without no bathin' suits.

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

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

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

She did.

This old horse I was a-ridin'
didn't want to take the water.

But she was always lookin'
for somethin' to do like that.

Somethin' wild.

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

Whatever happened to her?

Oh, she growed up.

She was just a girl then really.

Here, let me help you with that.

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

She was already married.

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

like so many young married folks are.

I thought they'd change with some
age, but... didn't turn out that way.

Ls being married always so miserable?

No, not really.
About 80% of the time, I guess.

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

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

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

in about five minutes.

Ain't that ridiculous?

No, it ain't really...

'cause being crazy about a woman like her
is always the right thing to do.

Being a decrepit old bag of bones...

that's what's ridiculous.

Keeled over on one of the snooker tables.

Sam the Lion?

Yep. Sam's dead.

He was quite a feller.

He had his own way of doin' things.
That's for sure.

They found his will...

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

He left Genevieve the café.

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

Left the picture show to old Miss Mosey.

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

And the craziest thing of all...

he left a thousand dollars to Joe
Bob Blanton, the preacher's boy.

Beats all I ever heard of.

He could just as easily left that to me...

'cause I deserve it least as much
as that ignorant little bastard.

Anyhow, it's done.

- That too cold?
- Nah, it's great.

Say, I hear Duane joined the army.

Good place for him too.

Aw, he was just holding that bottle.
Didn't mean to hit me with it.

That boy's always had meanness in him.

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

She's just like her grandmother.

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

Dan roughnecked with Gene Farrow.

He and Lois, they used to live in this little
one-room place over the newspaper office.

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

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

Yeah, I wondered a lot of times, you know,
what would have happened...

if my Dan had made the strikes
that Gene made.

They offered that rig to him first.

Yep.

Dan Morgan never took a chance in his life.

Do you wish y'all had made it?

Oh, sure, I wish we'd made it.

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

You want to go over to Korea
and get yourself killed, huh?

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

Well, café won't run itself.
You rest up now.

Oh, here's for the cheeseburger.

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

Thanks.

- Sonny?
- Come on in.

"I Can't Help It"...
Hank Williams's big sound from last year.

Now here's a brand-new one
just came in from my old pal Webb Pierce.

Gonna hear it a lot, I bet.
"Back Street Affair."

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

Oh, I been missing you.

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

You just can't believe
how famous we are.

- We're all anybody talks about in this town now.
- Yeah, I guess so.

- I want us to get married.
- What?

- I really do.
- Get married?

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

Oh, yeah.

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

- Ain't you goin' to college?
- Oh, I don't care about that.

I love you, and that's more important.

You were so dear to fight for me.

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

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

- Kill me anyhow.
- They'll get over it.

You're working for Daddy now anyway.

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

Can we?

Sure.

I just hope I can see to drive.

Don't you worry. I can drive.

Don't do that, Sonny.

Why not? We're man and wife now.
We can do anything.

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

Goodness. Wouldn't it be just awful
if Mama and Daddy got the police after us?

Oh, they don't even know where we are.

Well, I had to leave 'em a note, you know, so
they wouldn't be worried out of their minds.

You shouldn't have done that.

I had to.
I figured they'd have to know sometime.

Well, what could they get us for?

We got a right to get married,
ain't we?

I guess so.

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

I can take it off pretty soon.

'Bout two hours,
we'll be in Lake Texoma...

and have a room to ourself, hmm?

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

Howdy. What part of Texas y'all from?

- Anarene.
- Newlyweds, ain't you?

Well, y'all better follow me on in.
I think somebody's lookin' for you.

We ain't done nothin' wrong.
Ain't we got a right to get married?

- How can you arrest us just like that?
- I ain't arresting you.

I just want you to come with me
till we find out somethin'.

I don't know what your rights are.

I guess we better follow him, honey.

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

You think I worked like a dog all my life
so my daughter can end up in a pool hall?

We was gonna get another apartment.

I'll bet you was.
Where are your car keys, hon?

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

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

- I'm tired of this.
- You take her car.

As far as I'm concerned,
he can walk!

Not much of a wedding night, huh?

Nope, not much of one.

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

Take all of it. I'm gonna drive.

You won't believe this, Sonny, but you're lucky
we got you clear of her quick as we did.

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

Does everybody know about that?

Of course.

Sounded like a good deal to me, kiddo.

You shouldn't have let
Jacy turn your head.

Well, she's prettier.

I guess I shouldn't have though.

- I guess I treated her terrible.
- Guess you did.

Sure weren't out of Texas very long.

Well, Oklahoma's not much
of an improvement.

It's not the same now.

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

No.

No, it hasn't.

Oh, God.

I get sad if I think of Sam for long.

Did you know he had beautiful hands?

I guess you liked him, didn't you?

I guess everybody did.

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

I loved him.

He loved me too.

Are you...

Are you the one he used
to take swimmin' out in the tank?

He told you about that, huh?

Yeah, I was the one.

- I guess if it wasn't for Sam, I'd...
- Just about have missed it...

whatever it is.

I'd have been one of them Amity types
that thinks that...

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

Old Sam the Lion.

"Sam the Lion." You know,
nobody knows where he got that name.

I gave it to him.

One night, oh, it just came to me.

He... He was so pleased.

I was 22 years old then.

Can you imagine?

I'll tell you, Sonny...

it's terrible to only meet one man in your
whole life who knows what you're worth.

Just terrible.

I've looked too.

You wouldn't believe
how I've looked.

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

Loved you, I mean.

Do you?

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

Nope, I'll just go on home.

Go on, get out.

♪ I got a feeling called the blues
Oh, Lawd ♪

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

♪ Lawd, I don't know what I'll do ♪

You might.
You better keep on practicing.

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

Boy, we finally got us a team.

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

Nah, we wasn't much good.

Well, you just never learned
the fundamentals...

you know, blocking and tackling...
not like this team.

- When was it you graduated?
- Last year.

You don't mean it?

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

I seen old Duane a while ago.
He's home on leave.

- Wearin' his uniform.
- I ain't seen him yet.

- How are you, Chuck?
- Fine, Coach.

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

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

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

Hi, Miz Jackson. Duane here?

That's his car out there, ain't it?

He's here if he ain't walked off.

- Hi. How you been?
- Oh, pretty good.

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

Yeah.

I heard you was going off to Korea.

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

Glad you did.

I'm taking the bus out
early in the morning.

Oh.

Thought you might want to go
to the picture show.

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

Yeah, might as well go.
Hate to miss the last night.

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

- Ready, Matthew?
- All ready.

Take 'em to Missouri, Matt.

Yee-hah!

Yee-hah!

Yah-hah!

Yee-hoo!

- Yah-hah!
- Yee-hah!

- Yippee!
- Yah-hah!

- Hyah!
- Yee-hee!

- Hyah!
- Heee!

- Yah-hah!
- Yee-hah!

- Yee-hah!
- Ee-yah!

- Eee-hah!
- Yah-hah!

- That was a good movie.
- Yeah, I seen it here before once.

Why don't we run over to Wichita
and drink a little beer, huh?

Okay. I got lots of time till morning.

Sure.

- Well, so long, Miss Mosey.
- Sorry you're closing the show.

Nobody wants to come
to shows no more.

Kid baseball in the summer...

television all the time.

If Sam had lived, I...
l believe we could have kept it goin'.

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

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

Yeah.

Well, so long.

Duane.

You watch out now overseas.

♪ Each night I laid there in prison ♪

♪ I pictured a future so bright ♪

Sure weren't no women around.

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

Wished I was going with you.

Hey, why don't you take care
of the car for me?

What, your ma don't need it?

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

You might help her take the groceries home,
you got the time.

Okay.

You ever, uh... You ever hear from Jacy?

No, not a thing.

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

I guess she just stays
in Dallas all the time.

Yeah, probably does.

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

I ain't over her yet, you know.

I ain't over her yet.

It's the damndest thing.

That's the only reason, uh...

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

Reckon she likes it down in Dallas?

It's hard to say.
Maybe she does.

You reckon you and her would have got it all
straighted out if I hadn't have butted in?

Oh, no.

No.

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

Y'all, uh... Y'all never even
got into the motel?

No.

Well.

Better get on before we both freeze.

Here are the keys.

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

Be careful.

I'll take care of the Mercury for you.

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

He run right out in front of that station.

Christ, he didn't...
Trucker didn't have a chance.

Yeah, he's out here
all the time doin' something.

I could see it wasn't your fault.

You can call the kid retarded.
You couldn't help it.

- Sand was blowin'. I never noticed him.
- Yeah. Hard to see.

Never figured
nobody would be in the street.

What was he doin' out there, anyway,
carrying that broom?

Aw, he weren't doin' nothin'.
He's just an old simple-minded kid.

- Never had no sense.
- Sorta retarded. Wasn't your fault.

Hell, no, mister. I can see that.

He was just a dumb old kid.
Never was good for nothin'.

Didn't know enough to keep
his ass out of the cold, mornin' like this.

Let's go to the café.
I ain't had no breakfast.

I'd still like to know what was he doin'
lugging that broom around this time of day.

He was sweepin', you sons of bitches!

He was sweepin'!

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

Hi.

Could I have a cup of coffee with you?

- I guess.
- Leave them alone.

Leave them alone.

It's in the book!

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

Leave them alone.

And they... they being the sheep...

they will come.

Oh, yes, they'll come.

Oh, there'll be a brighter day tomorrow.
They will come.

It's in the book.

What am I doing apologizing to you?

Why am I always apologizing to you?
You little bastard!

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

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

You're the one ought to be sorry.

I wouldn't still be in my bathrobe
if it hadn't have been for you.

I'd have had my clothes on hours ago.

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

I guess just because
your friend got killed...

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

I'm not sorry for you.

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

I'll bet you left him plenty of nights
whenever Jacy whistled.

I wouldn't treat a dog that way.

I guess you thought
I was so old and ugly...

you didn't owe me any explanation,
you didn't need to be careful of me.

There weren't anything I could do
about you and her.

Why should you be careful of me?
You didn't love me.

Look at me.

Can't you even look at me?

See?

You shouldn't have come here.

I'm around that corner now.

You've ruined it.

It's lost completely.

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