Man: I'VE GOT RUSSIA, EVIE.

DID YOU HEAR ME, EVIE?

I'VE GOT RUSSIA.

GREAT, DADDY.

WELL... I'M TURNING IN.

GOOD NIGHT, DADDY.

GOOD NIGHT.

Man on radio: YOU'RE ON THE AIR WITH DICK DUNDAIR.

THIS IS 89 SWEETHEART TIME, WWLV, LOVE.

THAT WAS FROM BUDDY FOR HIS CAROLINA GAL TAMMY.

HE LOVES HER VERY MUCH.

THEN LAURA FROM DEXTER.

HE BEGS HER TO FORGIVE HIM FOR LAST NIGHT.

IT WON'T EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE HIM. I THINK YOU SHOULD, TOO.

IT'S MIDNIGHT HERE IN SWEETHEART LAND,

AND THIS NEXT ONE GOES OUT TO EMILY FROM BILLY.

COME ON OUT OF THERE.

WHY YOU HAVE TO BUG ME SO?

00. GET YOUR BUTT MOVING.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

AND TAKE OFF MY WALKMAN.

COME ON.

HEY, YOU KIDS. LOOK AT THIS SUNFLOWER.

HEY, HEY, HEY.

HEY!

EVIE.

EVIE DECKER.

TAKE OFF YOUR HEAD WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU.

LET ME HAVE THOSE HEADPHONES.

PRONTO, TONTO.

LET'S SEE YOUR BUNS.

WHAT?

HOT-DOG BUNS.

THESE BUNS ARE TO BE LAID OUT NEATLY,

LIGHT SIDE UP, DARK SIDE DOWN,

HAVE WARMTH, AND READY TO SERVE.

PUT YOUR HEAD ON WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU.

THINK OF THE CHILDREN, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.

EVIE, I DIDN'T LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE

BACK WHEN YOU WORKED AT THE GIFT SHOP.

NOW, YOU SHAPE UP, OR YOU CAN HOP RIGHT OUT OF HERE...

FOR GOOD.

EVIE, YOU ARE WAY TOO QUALIFIED

TO BE A RABBIT.

HONEY, IF YOU HATE THE JOB SO MUCH,

WHY DON'T YOU JUST QUIT?

IT'S NOT JUST THE JOB, VIOLET.

I FELT THIS WAY AT THE DAIRY QUEEN.

HOW MUCH LONGER, VI?

5 MORE MINUTES, HON.

I'M TURNING IT UP TO BROIL.

DON'T LOOK UP. DON'T LOOK UP.

JUST KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME LIKE YOU WERE TALKING.

I WAS TALKING.

IT'S JEFF BRIGHT. CAN YOU BEAR TO SEE HIM?

EVEN HE GOT OUT OF HERE.

DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE IT WOULDN'T MATTER

IF YOU LIVED OR DIED?

PARDON?

HOW YOU COULD DISAPPEAR AND NO ONE WOULD NOTICE?

1, 2,

3, 4,

5, 6,

7, 8,

9--

UH!

IT'S EVIE.

I MUST HAVE DOZED OFF.

DID YOU PICK UP YOUR PRESCRIPTION?

UH...I MEANT TO.

THERE'S TOO MUCH SPANISH IN THE WORLD.

I'LL GET IT AFTER WORK.

THERE'S COCOA IN THE KITCHEN.

Man on radio: THAT WAS BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

SINGING JERSEY GIRL.

THAT'S FROM LYLE FOR HIS CAROLINA GIRL JANICE.

HIS HEART IS ON HIS SLEEVE.

AND ALSO FROM MARY CLINE TO GRADY.

HER CUP RUNNETH OVER.

BETTER GIVE HER A CALL, GRADY. DON'T WAIT TOO LONG.

YOU'RE ON THE AIR WITH DICK DUNDAIR.

THIS IS 89 SWEETHEART TIME, WWLV, LOVE.

I'M SITTING HERE WITH MY GUEST,

OUR OWN UP-AND-COMING BOSS MAN OF THE LOWLANDS,

MR. BERTRAM CASEY, WHO WILL BE APPEARING LIVE

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE PLAZA THEATER.

WELCOME TO THE SHOW, BERT.

Bert: DRUMSTRINGS.

Dundair: I'M SORRY. SAY WHAT?

Bert: I GO BY DRUMSTRINGS.

Dundair: OK. SO, DRUMSTRINGS,

IT SAYS HERE IN MY NOTES THAT YOU LIVE

RIGHT HERE IN VIRINIA. IS THAT SO?

Drumstrings: YOU DON'T LIVE IN VIRINIA.

YOU DIE HERE. I'M GETTING OUT.

Dundair: GOOD TO HEAR YOU HAVE SUCH HIGH HOPES.

Drumstrings: HOPE'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

Dundair: WELL, LET'S SEE, THEN.

DONE MUCH RECORDING YET, DRUMSTICKS?

Drumstrings: DRUMSTRINGS. NO.

Dundair: WHAT IS IT YOU DO EXACTLY?

Drumstrings: YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I DO?

WE ALL GOT OUR OWN WAY OF FIGHTING OFF THE DEVIL.

I WRITE, SING, PLAY GUITAR.

Dundair: WHY NOT CALL YOU GUITARSTRINGS, THEN? HA HA.

Dundair: YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING YOU DO, PAL.

Drumstrings: YOU THINK YOU'RE INVISIBLE, BUT I SEE YOU.

YOU BREAK. YOU BEND.

YOU DISAPPEAR. EVERYBODY HERE STARES.

MAYBE WE SHOULD GO FARTHER.

Dundair: THEN AGAIN, MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T.

NOW BACK TO MUSIC FROM THIS PLANET.

WE'VE GOT SOME MICHAEL BOLTON.

Drumstrings: YOU DON'T KNOW ME NOW, DICK, BUT YOU WILL.

EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME.

EXCUSE ME!

HE'S NOT LIKE THESE PEOPLE.

THAT'S A DIAPER PIN IN HER EAR.

WAIT.

IT'S HIM.

UH. TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

I GOT A MIRROR AND A GOOD IDEA.

YOU SAY YOUR EYES ARE SPEAKING NOW.

SHOULD I SAY WHAT YOU DID?

ARE YOU MUTE? SHOULD I SAY WHAT YOU DID?

ARE YOU MUTE?

HA HA HA.

I FEEL LIKE I'VE HEARD HIM BEFORE.

YEAH, YOU DID, ON THE RADIO.

IT'S WEIRD, BUT I FEEL LIKE I KNOW HIM.

HAVE I GOT TO TELL YOU AGAIN?

HAVE I GOT TO SAY IT?

HAVE I GOT TO SAY IT?

I WANT TO ANSWER HIM.

OOH!

HEY, EVIE. HA HA!

I COULD HAVE SWORN I SAW YOU

AND THAT PORKER FRIEND OF YOURS

AT THE CONCERT THE OTHER NIGHT.

WELL, MY FRIEND VIOLET AND I DID GO.

NO SHIT!

HEY, UNZIP ME, WILL YOU?

GOD! WORKING AT THAT PUKE WHEEL

MAKES ME SICK.

UM...SO WHAT-- WHAT DID YOU--

OH, SWEET JESUS!

SO, WHAT DID YOU THINK OF DRUMSTRINGS CASEY?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HE'S JABBERING ABOUT,

BUT WITH A BODY LIKE THAT...

WHO CARES?

HA HA HA.

I'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

WHAT'S THIS?

IT'S DRUMSTRINGS CASEY. WHO DO YOU THINK?

I DID IT ONE NIGHT AT THE UNICORN.

IT'S A PRETTY GOOD LIKENESS, DON'T YOU THINK?

EASY, PEANUT.

FUCKING SPAZ.

Evie: SEE. WHAT DID I TELL YOU? THERE SHE IS.

Violet: YEAH. CRABS AND ALL.

LOOK WHO'S HERE.

WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?

I'LL SHOW YOU AROUND.

FOLLOW ME.

WHOO!

I'LL SEE YOU IN MY WET DREAMS, BABY!

RRR RRR RRR!

HE IS SO HOT.

IT'S LIKE HE'S PACKING A SUMMER SQUASH IN THEM PANTS.

OOH. GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME.

WAIT.

OH...

Drumstrings: YOU SAY YOU WANT TO WAKE UP,

BUT YOU JUST SLEEP IN YOUR DREAMS.

CAN YOU SLEEP IN YOUR DREAMS?

IF I BECAME FIRE, WOULD YOU BURN UP WITH ME?

WOULD YOU BURN DOWN WITH ME? HA HA HA.

I THINK IT'S A CODE.

WAKE UP, BABY. COME OUT OF YOUR DREAM.

SURE. WHY NOT?

IT'S NOT JUST THE WORDS.

IT'S LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING UNDERNEATH THEM.

CASEY!

I GAVE YOU HIS PICTURE.

OH, YES, YOU DID,

AND I REMEMBER IT SO CLEARLY.

YOU FROM SOME NEWSPAPER?

NO.

OH.

Evie: DID HE SAY "OH" OR "WELL"?

Violet: EVIE, DO YOU MIND?

I SHOULD HAVE HAD AN ANSWER PLANNED.

IN CODE?

NO, I'M SERIOUS.

LOOK, IT'S NOT SOMETHING

YOU COULD HAVE EXPECTED, AFTER ALL.

OH, SHIT!

OH! GODDAMN IT!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I WANT TO FINISH UP THE ROLL

SO I CAN TAKE IT IN TOMORROW.

IT WASN'T SOMETHING I THOUGHT UP FIRST, YOU KNOW.

I THOUGHT "WHY NOT?" AND DID IT.

JUST STOOD UP AND DID IT.

IMPULSE. THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.

RIGHT.

IF I'D HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT FIRST,

I MIGHT HAVE FALLEN ON MY FACE

OR BROKEN THE CAMERA.

YOUR HANDS WERE SHAKING.

YOU MEAN YOU SAW?

VIOLET, I COULDN'T EVEN THINK WHAT NAME TO CALL HIM.

GIVE ME THAT. GIVE ME THAT.

LOOK.

Man: WHOA. WHOA. EASY. EASY.

Drumstrings: I CAN PLAY THIS STUFF IN MY SLEEP.

WE'VE GOT TO FUCKING REHEARSE.

ALL THIS TALKING OUT.

WHERE'S THAT GONNA GET US?

MAYBE YOU'RE INTO DODGING GOLF BALLS,

BUT THIS PEDDLING LIFE INSURANCE IS KILLING ME!

IF WHAT I DO IS HOLDING YOU BACK,

MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET SOMEONE ELSE.

I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE A WAY TO GET THINGS GOING.

FIGURE A WAY WITHOUT SELLING ME OUT.

Man: IN A MINUTE.

GET BACK TO WORK.

THIS AIN'T NO FOTOMAT.

THE HEAD GOES ON IN 5 MINUTES.

Evie: HI. I'M EVIE DECKER.

I KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW... YOU DON'T KNOW ME,

BUT, UH...

HELLO. I'M EVIE DECKER.

I KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW ME, BUT...

HELLO. I'M EVIE--

OK. OK.

Man: WELL, NICE OF YOU TO SHOW UP.

Woman: HEY, BABY, LET'S GO.

GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE, BOY. WE GOT A CUSTOMER.

IF I CALLED YOUR NAME WRONG,

WOULD YOU STILL SAY YES?

YOU BET I WOULD.

Evie: I COULDN'T GO UP LIKE THOSE OTHER GIRLS.

I'D BE PLANNING IT ALL OUT AHEAD OF TIME,

SAYING SOMETHING, MEMORIZE IT, IT WOULD COME OUT BACKWARDS.

HE WOULDN'T NOTICE, HONEY--

BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS.

OPEN THAT WINDOW IN MY HEAD.

WOULD YOU DARE LIKE ME?

NAMES DON'T STICK WITH ME HALF AS MUCH AS FACES.

TAKE THAT STEP,

FROM NOTHING TO ONE.

1, 2, 3, GO!

TASTE THIS.

Man: GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY.

OH, MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED?

"C-A-S-E-Y."

IS CASEY HER BOYFRIEND?

NO.

WELL, WHO THEN?

HE'S A SINGER.

ROCK-AND-ROLL, I SUPPOSE.

OH...

DON'T MOVE.

HE HAS HIS OWN STYLE.

WELL... THAT SETS

SOME KIND OF A RECORD.

AREN'T THERE ANY SINGERS

NAMED AL OR ED?

WELL, HIS FIRST NAME IS DRUMSTRINGS.

I SUPPOSE SHE DID THE BEST SHE COULD.

YOU KNOW, IT'S BACKWARDS.

BACKWARDS?

YOU CUT HIS NAME BACKWARDS.

OH...

I BELIEVE THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE--

SOMETHING OUT OF CHARACTER,

DEFINITE, NOT LIKE ME AT ALL.

THEY'LL BRING YOU BREAKFAST IN BED, I SUPPOSE--

EGGS AND HOME FRIES OR SOMETHING.

Father: EVIE.

I BROUGHT YOU SOME CLOTHES.

YOU DID?

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT NEED THEM.

DOES THAT HAVE TO BE SO.... SO, UH...BIG?

IT HAS TO COVER MY WHOLE FOREHEAD.

DIDN'T THE DOCTOR TELL YOU?

WELL, YES, BUT IT TAKES

SOME GETTING USED TO.

DO YOU WANT TO SEE IT?

NO. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I KNOW WHAT IT SAYS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WHO IS THIS "YESAC" TO YOU?

YOU MEAN "CASEY."

HE'S A SINGER.

YES, I KNOW. CASEY. I KNOW.

YOU KNOW HIM?

I MEAN, I KNOW THAT'S...

WHAT THE NAME IS.

I NEVER HEARD OF CASEY BEFORE.

WE'LL HAVE TO GET A GOOD PLASTIC SURGEON.

I DON'T WANT ONE.

EVIE--

THIS IS ONE THING I'M NEVER GONNA BACK DOWN ON.

YOU KNOW, WHILE I WAS WALKING THROUGH THAT CROWD,

I KEPT THINKING OF MY NAME--EVIE DECKER.

ME...TAKING SOMETHING IN MY OWN HANDS FOR ONCE.

IF I HAD STARTED ACTING LIKE THIS A LONG TIME AGO,

MY WHOLE LIFE MIGHT HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT.

YEAH. YOU WOULD HAVE

WHITTLED OFF YOUR WHOLE HEAD BY NOW.

HA HA HA!

"CASEY."

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GONNA BE FAMOUS.

PHOTOGRAPHER'S HERE.

WHAT PHOTOGRAPHER?

THEY HEARD WHAT YOU DID.

THEY WANT TO PUT YOU IN THE PAPERS.

YOU HUNGRY?

MM-HMM.

BREAKFAST IS GONNA BE HERE IN A MINUTE.

OW.

WE'LL LET IT BREATHE FOR A WHILE.

THAT SINGER GUY-- HE'S HERE.

WHAT SINGER?

YOU KNOW..."YESAC."

HE'S AT THE NURSES STATION RIGHT NOW.

MAY I HELP YOU?

DAVID ELLIOT. I'M MR. CASEY'S DRUMMER AND MANAGER.

PAUL OGLE, COURIER.

OW. THAT'S A GREAT THING YOU DID FOR US.

I DID IT FOR MYSELF.

Ogle: SHADES OFF, CASEY. I NEED A REACTION HERE.

YOU THE NEWSPAPER LADY?

NO.

YOU SURE DO LOOK LIKE HER.

Ogle: DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO SMILE?

LOOK THIS WAY, MISS.

I NEED SOME WITH YOUR ARM AROUND HER.

COME ON, MAN. YOU GOT ENOUGH.

WE'RE ALMOST DONE, DRUM.

BREATHE, MISS. BREATHE.

NOW, EVIE...

IT'S EVIE DECKER. IS THAT RIGHT?

Evie: YES.

AND YOUR OCCUPATION?

I WORK AT KIDDIE ACRES.

REALLY?

REALLY.

AND COULD YOU TELL ME

WHAT END YOU HAD IN MIND?

END?

WHAT WAS YOUR GOAL IN DOING THIS?

YOUR REASON. DID YOU HAVE A REASON?

SHE DID IT AS A PERSONAL TRIBUTE

TO DRUM'S MUSICAL AND PHYSICAL CHARISMA.

HA HA. EXCELLENT.

CAN I QUOTE YOU ON THAT?

SURE.

DO YOU MIND TELLING US

WHAT YOU DID IT WITH?

I DON'T REMEMBER.

HAD YOU PLANNED IT?

GIVE HER A BREAK.

IT'S HARD TO SAY.

WELL, I THINK I GOT IT ALL.

IT'S ONLY A CAPTION ANYWAY.

A CAPTION?

YOU KNOW, THE WRITING UNDER A PHOTO.

HE KNOWS WHAT A CAPTION IS.

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ARTICLE.

NOW WE'RE JUST GONNA GET A NEWSPAPER PHOTO?

DON'T TALK TO ME. TALK TO MY BOSS. SEE YOU, FOLKS.

I'M GONNA STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT.

WHY'D YOU GO AND CUT IT BACKWARDS?

IT JUST WORKED OUT THAT WAY.

CAN'T YOU READ IT?

SURE, I CAN.

I CAN SEE NOW IT'S UNEVEN.

THE "Y" DROOPS.

WHY'D YOU MAKE IT "CASEY"?

WHY NOT MY FIRST NAME?

WHAT? "DRUMSTRINGS"?

I DON'T HAVE THAT BIG A FOREHEAD.

"DRUM." JUST "DRUM."

THEY CALL YOU DRUM?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I CERTAINLY WISH I'D HAVE KNOWN.

YEAH. WELL...

IT'S FUNNY. I NEVER WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU FOR A GROUPIE.

I'M NOT.

YOU'RE GONNA BE FAMOUS SOMEDAY.

SURE IS A PECULIAR FEELING.

KIND OF LIKE MEETING UP WITH YOUR OWN FACE SOMEWHERE.

YOU KNOW, LIKE IN A DREAM.

SEE YOU.

OH, BERTHA! WATCH OUT!

NOW, WHAT I WANT TO KNOW

IS WHEN THAT DR. MENTHE IS SUCH A STUCK-UP WAY,

IS IT HIS WAY, OR DO HE

JUST ACT LIKE THAT FOR THE PLAY?

HELLO.

WHO IS IT?

ANOTHER FRIEND OF YOUR DADDY'S.

YOU TALK TO THEM.

HONEY, THERE AIN'T NOTHING I CAN SAY

TO EXPLAIN YOU TO NOBODY.

SHE DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

WHY DON'T YOU GET DRESSED?

STOP PARADING YOUR MOPEY SELF AROUND HERE.

WHY? I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

WELL, I CAN SEE THAT, MISS,

AND IT SURE DO TWIST MY HEART.

THOSE BILLS.

NOW, WHERE IS THAT BEER AT?

OK. OK.

Evie: HELLO. HELLO.

THIS IS...HELLO.

Woman: HELLO.

HELLO. I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO DRUM, PLEASE.

WHO? OH. JUST A SECOND.

BERTRAM!

PHONE!

HE'S COMING.

Drum: HELLO.

HELLO. THIS IS EVIE DECKER.

YOUR NAME IS ON MY FOREHEAD.

THERE'S SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.

WHAT'S THAT?

WELL, I'LL HAVE TO TELL YOU WHEN I SEE YOU.

WHERE ARE YOU?

I LIVE IN FULQUAY.

MY ADDRESS IS 205 ENSHAW.

WELL, MY BEETLE SPRAY SEEMS TO BE WORKING.

GOOD.

WELL, YOU BEEN OUT MUCH?

TALK TO ANYONE?

JUST VIOLET.

WHAT? WAS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO SAY?

NO. NOT THAT I CAN THINK OF. NO.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WORE GLASSES.

I THOUGHT YOU COULD DRIVE ME TO WORK WHILE WE TALK.

I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

I WORK AT KIDDIE ACRES.

I CAN TELL YOU THE FASTEST WAY.

I THOUGHT YOU'D HAVE A MOTORCYCLE.

NO. THEY'RE TOO DANGEROUS.

WHAT WAS IT YOU WANTED TO TELL ME ABOUT?

HOW DO YOU USUALLY GET PUBLICITY?

DO YOU ADVERTISE?

MY MANAGER DOES ALL THAT.

WOULDN'T HE LIKE IT IF YOU GOT MORE?

WHY? WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT?

I THOUGHT IF I STARTED COMING TO YOUR SHOWS,

YOU KNOW, AT THE UNICORN,

WHERE PEOPLE COULD SEE ME,

I COULD PULL THE HAIR OFF MY FACE

AND SHOW YOUR NAME.

PEOPLE WOULD TALK. YOU KNOW THIS TOWN.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

ARE YOU GONNA HAVE, UM...

SCARS.

SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I CAN'T PLAY UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS.

TALK TO YOUR MANAGER ABOUT IT.

LOOK, I'M REAL SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU,

AND I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE, BUT...

I HAVE MY OWN LIFE TO LEAD.

NO ONE SAID YOU DIDN'T.

YOU CAN LEAD YOUR OWN LIFE ALL YOU WANT TO.

WAIT.

Man: HERE WE GO, EVIE.

MAKE SURE YOUR FATHER TAKES ONE OF THESE

IN THE MORNING NOW, TOO.

OK. THANKS A LOT.

THANK YOU, EVIE.

HEY, HOW YOU DOING, EVIE?

HEY, JOE.

I'M DAVID ELLIOT.

YES, I KNOW.

LISTEN, ABOUT DRUM-- HANG ON.

DRUM IS AN AMAZING TALENT.

I THINK HE DESERVES A BIGGER AUDIENCE. DON'T YOU?

THAT'S WHY, WHEN I HEARD WHAT YOU SUGGESTED,

I WAS NATURALLY INTERESTED.

WELL, HE'S NOT.

WHAT DOES HE KNOW?

HE KNOWS WHETHER HE CAN SING OR NOT.

DO YOU WANT TO TRY IT?

IF PEOPLE NOTICE. YOU CAN STAY.

IF NOT, YOU GO. ALL RIGHT?

WHAT? JUST TRY SITTING THERE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

BE READY TOMORROW NIGHT. I'LL PICK YOU UP.

WELL... I DON'T FEEL RIGHT,

RIDING OVER WHAT HE SAID.

YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO HIM. HE SAYS NO TO EVERYTHING.

WHERE'S THAT LEAVE HIM?

PLAYING IN A ROOM TO HIMSELF,

WASTING ALL THAT TALENT?

I HATE TO SEE THINGS WASTED.

WHICH YOU LIKE BETTER-- TOP OR BOTTOM?

UM...THEY BOTH LOOK GOOD.

YEAH?

HE DIDN'T HAVE TO BRING IT UP.

YOU MUST HAVE GOTTEN TO HIM SOMEHOW.

CAN I HEAL YOU?

TOMORROW'S NOTHING.

I'LL SEE ABOUT YESTERDAY.

DON'T FORGET YOUR KEYS.

TAKE YOUR TINY LOAD OF LA LA LA LA LA!

WHO SHALL I SAY IS CALLING?

SPEAK IT.

WHOA! OOPS.

YOU OK?

IT'S ALL RIGHT. IT DIDN'T GET THAT DIRTY.

YOU SURE?

YEAH. IT'S FINE.

MAN, MAN, MAN. OH, I AM HUNGRY.

HUNGRY, HUNGRY.

OH.

DID THE LENS GO DOWN?

OH, SHIT.

I'M SORRY. ARE YOU OK?

HEY, YEAH. I'M INSURED. I SWALLOW THE LENS,

I ONLY HAVE TO PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE.

YOU OK?

YOU ALL RIGHT?

EXCUSE ME.

OH, LOOK. SIT UP. SIT UP.

YOU GOT FOOD ALL OVER YOURSELF HERE.

YOU'RE A MESS.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I'LL JUST TAKE IT OFF.

THANK YOU.

SOMEDAY THE RIGHT PEOPLE ARE GONNA HEAR YOUR MUSIC,

AND EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE FOR YOU.

YOU THINK SO, HUH?

WHEN YOU'RE SPEAKING OUT,

IT'S LIKE YOU'RE TALKING STRAIGHT TO PEOPLE.

IT'S LIKE YOU KNOW SOMETHING.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS?

WELL, I KNOW IF IT SOUNDS GOOD.

I DON'T KNOW THAT. HOW DO YOU KNOW?

A FEEL A LOT BETTER ABOUT LIFE, THOUGH, WHEN I'M PLAYING.

IT'S ABOUT THE ONLY TIME THAT THINGS FEEL RIGHT.

AM I MAKING ANY SENSE?

GOD, YOU HAVE THE PRETTIEST EYES.

HEY, Y'ALL. WELL, IT'S NOT A TOTAL LOSS.

I MET THIS GUY IN THE JOHN

WHO WANTS TO USE US FOR A PROM.

A PROM?

ELVIS DID PROMS.

Woman: OH, BERTRAM.

I JUST HAD A FEELING SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN.

YOU WANT TO DANCE?

OH.

COME ON.

HA HA HA HA!

ATHENS, GA., IS THE HOTTEST PLACE TO PLAY.

WHAT ABOUT THE UNICORN?

WHAT ABOUT IT? COME ON, EVIE.

GIVE ME A CONGRATULATIONS.

CONGRATULATIONS. I'M GONNA GET A SIP OF WATER.

HEY, YOU WANT TO DANCE? CUT THE RUG?

GOT A SCISSORS.

PARDONNEZ-MOI, S'IL VOUS PLAIT.

I'M SORRY.

I JUST HOPE HE DOESN'T GET SO FAMOUS

HE FORGETS ABOUT THE LITTLE PEOPLE

WHO DID HIM A GOOD TURN.

THEY WOULD HAVE HIRED HIM ANYWAY.

HE'S THE BEST MUSICIAN I KNOW OF.

HONEY, EVIE'S GOING, TOO, ISN'T SHE?

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

EVIE'S BEEN THINKING OF QUITTING.

SHE FEELS THE POINT'S BEEN MADE BY NOW.

BESIDES WHICH, THE SCARS ARE STARTING TO FADE.

OH, I SEE.

OF COURSE, SHE MIGHT JUST WANT TO GO

AND SIT AT HER LITTLE TABLE AND WATCH.

SHE DOESN'T.

WELL, YOU...YOU LET HER SPEAK FOR HERSELF, BERTRAM.

I DON'T KNOW.

IF IT WAS UP TO ME, I MIGHT WANT TO

DRIVE ON DOWN AND HEAR HIM PLAY.

SEE?

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE PLAYING NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

WITH THOSE LETTERS STARING BACK AT YOU.

WHOA. WAIT A MINUTE. WE'RE GETTING WORKED UP OVER NOTHING.

IF YOU DON'T WANT EVIE THERE, SHE WON'T COME.

RIGHT, EVIE?

RIGHT. I WON'T COME. NOT IF THAT'S THE WAY HE FEELS.

ALL THAT YOU'VE GOT GOING

IS THE SPEAKING OUT ON ME.

SPEAKING OUT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE,

AND I'M NOT GONNA BE AROUND.

WE'LL SEE HOW FAR YOU GO!

OH, BOOHOO. WHAT A BONEHEAD.

HEY!

NO WONDER NO ONE UNDERSTANDS

WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

YOU JUST HAMMER OUT NOISE

LIKE ANY OLD FOOL AT A ROADHOUSE.

THAT'S A LIE. YOU DON'T MEAN THAT.

YOU'RE JUST PISSED OFF

BECAUSE I'M NOT TAKING YOU TO ATHENS.

HEY, I WAS WORKING AT THE UNICORN

BEFORE I EVER HEARD YOUR NAME.

I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYONE ASKING

HOW COME NO GIRL HAD CUT "CASEY" IN HER FOREHEAD.

HOW LONG DID YOU THINK IT WAS GONNA LAST?

IT WAS A WASTE. IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING.

THAT'S MY GIRL.

I ALWAYS KNEW YOU'D COME OUT OF THIS

IF I JUST LET YOU BE.

Man: IS EVERYBODY DOING ALL RIGHT?

LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR MR. DRUMSTRINGS CASEY!

NOW THEY ARE GRAY. AND WHEN WERE THEY PINK?

BUT THE LETTERS WERE CUT BACKWARDS.

YOU KNOW HOW I DO IT. BREAK INTO SILENCE.

IF I TELL YOU AGAIN, WILL YOU LISTEN THIS TIME?

NO!

I DO NOT WANT WHAT I HAVE GOT.

Man: AND WE DON'T GOT WHAT WE WANT EITHER!

I DO NOT WANT WHAT I HAVE GOT.

HEY, YEAH, BUDDY, NEITHER DO I, ALL RIGHT?

COME ON! LET'S GO!

I FEEL YOUR PAIN AND ALL THAT CRAP,

BUT YOU'RE KILLING MY BUZZ!

UH!

I GOT COFFEE.

HEY.

I TALKED TO CRAIG.

THE REST OF THE GIG,

HE JUST WANTS OUR SONGS, NO TALKING OUT.

FUCK HIM.

I PLAY WHAT I PLAY.

IT'S HIS CLUB WE WERE HIRED TO OPEN.

WE WERE HIRED TO PLAY.

WE WERE HIRED TO OPEN.

CHECK THIS OUT. THIS IS GOOD.

ONE MOMENT.

"THE CAT'S CAVE, THE HUB OF THE ATHENS CLUB SCENE,

"PRIDES ITSELF ON MIXING THE OLD AND THE NEW,

"CRISSCROSSING RABBLE-ROUSING ROCK-AND-ROLL

"WITH CUTTING-EDGE MUSICAL DISCOVERIES.

"IT'S A HIT-AND-MISS PROPOSITION,

"AND DRUM CASEY, THE OPENER,

"DEFINITELY FALLS INTO THE MISS CATEGORY.

THIS UNORTHODOX--"

JUST PLAY THE FUCKING SONGS TONIGHT!

FUCKING BABY.

YOU BETTER GIVE TEED-OFF A CALL,

LET HIM KNOW YOU'RE COMING BACK!

Woman: EVIE, YOU'RE WANTED OUT HERE.

WHAT?

COME ON OUT, I TOLD YOU.

HEY.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN ATHENS.

I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE CALLED OR SOMETHING.

DAMN STRAIGHT.

IT'S SO HOT.

I GOT FIRED.

WHAT?

EVIE, THERE'S A DRINK HERE FOR ELVIS

IF HE WANTS IT.

IS THIS YOUR MOTHER?

YOU HAVE THE SAME EYES.

SHE DIED WHEN I WAS BORN.

TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU THINK I COULD SLEEP ON YOUR COUCH?

NO. I DON'T THINK SO.

Evie: HAVE YOU BEEN TO DAVID'S?

NOT YET.

HOW ABOUT YOUR PARENTS'? HAVE YOU BEEN HOME?

WHAT FOR?

WHY THE HELL WOULD I GO THERE?

WHY WAS IT ME YOU CAME TO?

YOU AND ME REALLY HAD SOME FIGHT THAT NIGHT.

I ASKED YOU A QUESTION.

I HEARD YOU.

HAVE YOU EVER ANSWERED ONE,

HAD A REAL CONVERSATION,

ONE THAT GOES BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO?

DON'T YOU EVER SMILE?

OF COURSE I DO.

YOU WEIGH ON MY HEAD.

BUT YOU BRING ME LUCK, TOO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

IF I HAD TAKEN YOU TO ATHENS,

LIKE YOU ASKED...

IT MIGHT HAVE WORKED OUT DIFFERENT.

I SEE YOU CUT YOURSELF SOME BANGS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS TIME TO.

DOES THAT MEAN YOU WERE SERIOUS?

SERIOUS ABOUT WHAT?

WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT MY MUSIC.

THAT'S MY FATHER.

WELL, I'LL SEE YOU.

I WAS JUST ANGRY.

I COULD LISTEN ALL DAY WHEN YOU PLAY.

I SHOULD HAVE SAID, "I DON'T LIKE YOU ANYMORE.

"I DON'T LIKE YOUR MUSIC.

"I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE.

AND I DON'T WANT YOU SLEEPING ON MY PORCH."

MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE LEANED OVER

AND PLANTED A BIG, WET KISS

ON THOSE SPEAKING-OUT LIPS.

GUESS WHO.

I HEARD ABOUT ATHENS.

I'VE BLOWN SOME BIG ONES MYSELF.

SORRY I'M LATE. I WAS WITH A CLIENT.

J.J., CAN I GET A BEER AND A SHOT OF BUSHMILLS, PLEASE?

AND WHATEVER DRUM'S HAVING THERE.

OH, I'M SORRY. BRING FAYE-JEAN

A GLASS OF WATER, NO ICE.

HONEY, DO YOU MIND?

WORKING ON KIND OF A TIGHT SCHEDULE.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE OFFENDING ME.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SO, STRANGER...

WHAT YOU BEEN DOING?

NOT MUCH.

FUCK OFF.

HA HA HA.

HA HA HA HA!

HE'LL PASS. HA HA!

COME ON, MAN. LIGHTEN UP.

WE'LL GET ANOTHER SHOT.

OH, LISTEN. WE GO ON TONIGHT

00, 10:30.

I STILL GOT YOUR GEAR OUT IN MY TRUCK.

I WISH YOU WOULD GO. I MEAN IT.

AS SOON AS I GET USED TO YOU BEING GONE,

YOU TURN UP AGAIN.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET OUT AND STAY OUT?

EVIE.

WHAT?

WHAT?

I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU ARE.

HOW AM I?

DIFFERENT.

SAY SOMETHING.

ABOUT WHAT?

I DON'T CARE. ANYTHING.

I CAN'T THINK UP THINGS JUST LIKE THAT.

I LIKE TO HEAR YOU TALK.

YOUR FACE IS SO SOFT.

IT WAS THE FIRST THING I NOTICED ABOUT YOU.

I DIDN'T KNOW SKIN COULD FEEL THIS SOFT.

I WORK AT THE LIBRARY NOW.

I QUIT KIDDIE ACRES.

HEY, BABY.

I LOOKED FOR YOU. YOU DISAPPEARED.

I SAW IN THIS MAGAZINE ONCE

ABOUT THIS PLACE IN NASHVILLE.

A COMPUTER PICKS OUT A HAIRCUT

TO GO WITH THE SHAPE OF YOUR FACE.

WHAT?

WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF YOURS HOW I LOOK?

I WANT TO MARRY YOU.

WHAT? DON'T YOU WANT TO?

WELL...

NO, I DON'T.

EVIE, I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU.

WHY? WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT ME?

NO, I MEAN IT. NAME ONE THING.

I LIKE HOW YOU LISTEN TO ME.

WHAT ELSE?

I LIKE HOW I FEEL WITH YOU.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME.

YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I CAN BE MYSELF.

I WANT TO GET MARRIED.

I WANT US TO HAVE A HOME, SOMEPLACE SAFE.

A CHANGE. MAKE A CHANGE.

DIDN'T YOU EVER WANT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE AROUND SOME?

HOW CAN YOU ASK ME THAT?

I THINK YOU NEED SOMEONE TO CARE ABOUT YOU.

HONEY, I DO THINK THAT THIS IS

THE MOST EXCITING DAY OF MY LIFE.

YEAH, RIGHT. YOU KIDDING ME?

DON'T YOU TOUCH THAT.

NOW, ALL WE NEED IS SOMETHING BLUE.

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

I'M WITHSTANDING BY TRADITION!

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW,

SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE.

THIS WHOLE THING IS AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGMENT.

I JUST WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT.

YEAH, WE KNOW.

HE THINKS WE SHOULDN'T BE GETTING MARRIED?

IT'S ABOUT THE FIRST TIME

I'VE SEEN YOU TWO ON SPEAKING TERMS,

AND HERE WE ARE, DRIVING TO YOUR WEDDING,

BUT OTHER THAN THAT...

YOU'RE WRONG. IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME.

I DON'T SEE ANYONE ASKING FOR YOUR ADVICE.

AH-AH.

I'M DRIVING MY OWN HEARSE WAGON.

INSIDE THE MONTH, YOU'LL BE

A FULL-TIME GAS STATION ATTENDANT,

AND WE CAN KISS WHAT'S LEFT OF OUR CAREER GOOD-BYE.

HEY, DON'T LOOK AT ME THAT WAY, EVIE.

I'M SAYING THIS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, TOO.

WHERE IS YOUR TACT? HERE WE ARE.

WE'RE ABOUT TO GET MY BEST GIRLFRIEND MARRIED,

AND YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HEARSE WAGONS.

YOU KNOW WHAT? PULL OVER AND LET US OUT.

WE WILL WALK THE REST OF THE WAY.

BE MY GUEST, TWINKLE TOES.

HEY, THINGS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND HERE.

NOW'S THE TIME TO BACK OUT.

WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP?

EVIE, CLIMB OUT. WE'RE WALKING.

WAIT. WE ARE NOT WALKING ANYWHERE.

I PLAN TO HAVE A NORMAL, ORDINARY WEDDING

WITH WITNESSES. NO FIGHTING.

WE'RE GONNA DO THIS ONE THING THE WAY IT OUGHT TO BE DONE,

AND AFTERWARDS WE CAN CELEBRATE WITH A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE.

NOW, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

NOPE.

THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.

CASEY-DECKER.

THIS IS WHAT I WANT.

I GUESS I'LL CHANGE.

DRUM. DRUM.

OH, MY SEAL.

I CAN SEE WHY THEY WRAP THE GLASSES,

BUT WHAT IS THIS PAPER BAND

ON THE TOILET SUPPOSED TO DO?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BREAK THE SEAL?

IS IT LIKE WHEN YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED

TO TAKE THE TAG OFF YOUR PILLOW?

YOU KNOW THOSE GUYS ON THE RAFT

IN THE TIDY BOWL COMMERCIAL?

EVIE.

WHAT?

TAKE OFF YOUR JACKET.

I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED HOW PEOPLE GET

TO THIS PART OF TAKING OFF THEIR CLOTHES.

COME HERE.

I LIKE THIS SONG.

YOU'RE SO LITTLE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU'RE SO PRETTY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY THAT.

WHY DO YOU THINK I MARRIED YOU?

HMM.

WILL YOU LIE DOWN NEXT TO ME?

EVIE ELIZABETH.

WHAT?

CASEY.

THAT'S YOUR NAME NOW, TOO.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE LOVE WITH ME?

YES.

I'M NOT A VIRGIN.

DRUM.

WHAT, BABY?

DRUM.

COME HERE.

I CAN'T. I GOT TO GO.

IT WON'T TAKE LONG.

NO. I CAN'T BE LATE FOR WORK...AGAIN.

WELL, I'LL ZAP A FEW MORE BUGS.

AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING WITH THE GUYS AT PIM'S?

I'D RATHER STAY HERE AND PLAY WITH YOU.

NO, I MEAN IT. I MEAN IT.

AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE PRACTICING?

JESUS, EVIE, LIGHTEN UP.

COME HERE.

MY, MY. THE HAPPY COUPLE.

CAN'T YOU EVER KNOCK?

DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT KNOCKING.

I'M MISSING MY STORIES.

I EXPECT I'LL BE TEACHING YOU HOW TO USE IT.

DID YOU GET MY BISCUIT RECIPE YET?

LOOK IT UP IN THE COOKBOOK.

YOU KNOW A COOKBOOK WON'T DO.

DRUM HAS A SPECIAL RECIPE IN MIND.

OH, SURE.

HIS KIND USES BACON DRIPPINGS.

NOTHING SPECIAL TO THAT.

WHY ARE YOU TALKING LIKE THAT?

I THOUGHT YOU LIKED DRUM.

I'LL TELL YOU WHY. GO SEE YOUR DADDY.

YOU BROKE HIS HEART.

KILLS ME TO SEE SOMEBODY SO SHOOK UP.

JUST WANDERS AROUND LIKE A GHOST.

WHEN YOU GONNA VISIT HIM?

IF I INVITE HIM TO DINNER, WILL YOU HELP OUT?

I EXPECT YOU'LL BE WANTING

MY TUNA CASSEROLE RECIPE NOW, TOO.

Father: WELL, THAT, UH...

THAT LOOKS DELICIOUS, EVIE.

WHAT IS IT?

TUNA SUPREME.

UH... JUST A SMIDGE.

I'M ALLERGIC TO ARTIFICIAL COLORING.

EXCEPT IN YOUR HAIR.

GIVE ME A LOT, EVIE.

OK.

IT'S A LITTLE COLD IN HERE, ISN'T IT?

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, MOM. IT'S NOVEMBER.

I HAVE TO TEACH YOU HOW TO MAKE BISCUITS.

DRUM IS VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT HIS BISCUITS.

I LOVE YOU.

DO YOU BOWL, MR. DECKER?

WELL, I HAVE BOWLED,

BUT NEVER REGULARLY.

YOU MEAN YOU HAVE IRREGULAR BOWL MOVEMENTS?

DEAR GOD. WILL YOU SPARE US?

SPARE US? YEAH, I'LL SPARE US, ALL RIGHT.

WELL, I'M SO GLAD YOU ALL COULD COME

BECAUSE WE NEVER HAD A REAL RECEPTION.

UM...EVIE, DRUM,

I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU TWO YOUNG PEOPLE

A BELATED WEDDING PRESENT.

I'M, UH... BUYING A NEW CAR.

ANYWAY, WOULD THE OLD VW

BE OF ANY HELP?

THANK YOU SO MUCH, DADDY.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

YEAH, THAT'S REALLY GREAT.

WELL, I'M GLAD TO HEAR IT.

WHAT DO YOU NEED A CAR FOR?

YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

LORD KNOWS, WE DON'T HAVE ANY EXTRA CARS TO HAND OUT.

I DO HAVE A LITTLE HOUSEWARMING GIFT.

I KNOW THIS ONE WAS ALWAYS YOUR FAVORITE.

OH, MY GOSH. WE USED TO DANCE TO LES BROWN.

AND I USED TO SING WITH HIM. THAT'S ME.

WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DRAG THAT OUT FOR?

THIS IS, UH... IT'S A LOVELY PARTY.

EVIE, WOULD YOU CARE TO DANCE?

OUT OF MY WAY.

LUTHER.

SIT DOWN, YOU.

KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF HER.

BERTRAM, JUST IGNORE HIM. HE'S SPOILING FOR A FIGHT.

WHY'D YOU HAVE TO GO AND PLAN THIS FOR?

I WAS JUST TRYING TO PATCH THINGS UP.

WELL, QUIT TRYING TO PLAN MY LIFE OUT, WILL YOU?

IT'S OUR LIFE, DRUM.

DON'T REMIND ME!

UH...WELL... I'LL JUST...

USE THE POWDER ROOM

IT'S IN THROUGH THE BEDROOM.

PUT PAPER DOWN.

WHERE'S THE TV?

WE DON'T HAVE ONE.

ALL RIGHT, GET GOING IN THERE, THEN.

WE'RE LEAVING.

YOU KNOW, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN

A HELL OF A LOT MORE SACRIFICE

IF SHE'D BEEN PRETTIER TO BEGIN WITH.

I'LL...I'LL JUST CLEAR THESE AWAY.

THERE'S JELLO.

THAT'S OK. SIT DOWN, DADDY.

YOU AND DRUM...

COULD COME TO SUPPER SOME NIGHT.

WOULD YOU DO THAT?

THANKS.

THANK YOU FOR THE DANCE.

COME TALK TO ME, BABY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE?

COME HERE.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE TALKED TO YOU LIKE THAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

FEELS LIKE I'M NOT LEADING

MY OWN LIFE ANYMORE.

THEN WHOSE LIFE IS IT?

JUST SOME KIND OF SLIPPING-DOWN MESS.

YOU NEED TO GET YOUR MUSIC

OUT TO PEOPLE WHO WILL APPRECIATE IT.

EVIE.

HOW ARE YOU GONNA GET OUT, THEN,

IF NOBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME?

WELL, THAT'S MY BUSINESS, ISN'T IT?

IT'S MY BUSINESS, TOO. IT'S ME YOU'RE TALKING TO.

YOU'RE NOT LISTENING. YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT PUBLICITY,

WHICH MAKES ME TIRED.

I'M TIRED, TOO, OF GETTING NAGGED AT ALL THE TIME...

AND HAVING TO FACE THAT NAGGING FOREHEAD OF YOURS.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DON'T WEAR BANGS ANYMORE.

I DON'T WEAR BANGS BECAUSE I DON'T

BACK DOWN ON THINGS I'VE DONE,

AND I'VE NEVER SAID A NAGGING WORD TO YOU IN MY LIFE.

ALL RIGHT.

HAVE I?

RIGHT.

LOOK. FORGET IT. I WAS JUST TALKING.

TAKE YOUR COAT OFF.

COME ON, TAKE YOUR COAT OFF.

WHERE'S MY LUCK GONE?

I FEEL LIKE I'VE HIT MY PEAK AND PASSED IT...

LIKE I'M JUST WAITING TO GROW OLD.

YOU STILL AWAKE?

NO.

DON'T FALL ASLEEP BEFORE ME.

I WON'T. I'LL TELL YOU THE SECOND I DO.

YOU KNOW I HATE LYING ALONE IN THE DARK.

BUT YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

I'M HERE, TOO, DRUM.

HMM.

Evie's voice: IT'S FOR HIM, DAVID.

I KNOW HE WON'T LIKE IT,

BUT I CAN'T STAND WATCHING HIM CURL UP AROUND THE EDGES.

IT'LL NEVER FLY.

I'LL ARRANGE THE WHOLE THING.

YOU CAN'T ARRANGE DRUM.

Evie: HI, DRUM.

Drum: HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?

WOULD YOU LIKE A CRACKER?

UM...NO.

I GOT HIM!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

IT'S A KIDNAPPING.

IT'LL BE ON ALL THE RADIO STATIONS.

Drum: EVIE, CALL THEM OFF!

IT'S FOR PUBLICITY, DRUM.

WE'RE JUST GONNA TELL THE POLICE

A BUNCH OF CRAZY FANS GOT YOU. THEN WE'LL BRING YOU BACK.

JUST THINK OF IT AS A FIELD TRIP.

WATCH HIS ARM. WATCH HIS ARM.

UH! LET'S GO!

EVIE!

EVIE!

EVIE!

EVIE, IT'S ME-- MR. HARRISON.

OH, MR. HARRISON. I'M JUST ON MY WAY OUT.

DRUM'S BEEN KIDNAPPED. WELL, NOT FOR REAL.

A BUNCH OF FANS GOT HIM.

WELL, DRUM CAN WAIT. YOUR FATHER'S SICK,

AND I WANT TO TAKE YOU WITH ME RIGHT NOW.

BUT DRUM'S BEEN KIDNAPPED.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT.

YOUR FATHER HAS HAD ANOTHER HEART ATTACK, EVIE.

HE'S DYING.

HE'S DYING.

IT'S IN...THERE?

IN THERE.

HOW IS HE?

OH, EVIE DEAR. HE PASSED, DEAR.

OH, I KNOW HE'S NOT. THIS IS EVIE DECKER.

I NEED YOU TO HAVE HIM GET A MESSAGE TO DRUM.

HE'S AT THE BEAUTY PARLOR ON RYAN-A.

HAVE HIM TELL DRUM THAT MY FATHER DIED.

HAVE HIM...HAVE HIM COME TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE.

DAD.

Faye-Jean: HEY! HEY!

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?

GET IN, YOU SORRY PIECE OF SHIT.

WHOO!

EVIE.

EVIE?

LORD, I STILL CAN'T TAKE IT IN.

WHERE'S YOUR BANGS, MAY I ASK?

I'M PINNING THEM BACK NOW.

I GOT TO USE THE LITTLE GIRL'S ROOM.

YOU DON'T LOOK GOOD. HOW FAR ALONG ARE YOU?

WHAT?

ONE MONTH? 2?

3 ALMOST.

AND NEVER TOLD YOUR DADDY.

WHAT IS IT MAKES YOU ACT LIKE THAT?

DRINK YOUR COCOA. GOOD FOR THE BABY.

Evie's voice: IN ROLLING STONE, AT THE LIBRARY, A LOT--

DRUM, THIS IS FOR YOU

SO YOU CAN HEAR HOW GOOD YOUR SONGS ARE.

I READ ABOUT IN IN ROLLING STONEAT THE LIBRARY.

A LOT OF MUSICIANS USE THEM WHEN THEY'RE WRITING.

I KNOW YOU WON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS--

WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?

SHE'S IN THERE!

HA HA HA!

WHAT A KISS-ASS! I'M SORRY.

IT LOOKS LIKE I'M LATE FOR THE PARTY.

GIVE ME THAT. GET OUT.

YOU'RE SEPARATED, TOO, AIN'T YOU?

I AM NOT.

WELL, WHERE'S HE AT, THEN, IN YOUR TIME OF TROUBLE?

HE'LL BE HERE. IT'S COMPLICATED.

NO POINT IN A HUSBAND IF YOU AIN'T GOT HIM

TO LEAN ON DURING STRESS.

IF I'D HAVE THOUGHT,

I'D HAVE BROUGHT MY MOTHER.

SHE'S A CONSOLER

AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

SHE CONSOLES THE MOURNERS

TILL THEY GET CHEERED UP.

HOW DOES SHE DO THAT?

OH, SHE JUST HUGS THEM

AND PAT THEM ON THE SHOULDER,

OFFER THEM KLEENEX.

HOW ELSE WOULD SHE DO?

Evie's voice: THERE'S SOMETHING I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU.

I'M AFRAID YOU WON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.

AT LEAST, THAT'S THE WAY I FEEL WHENEVER I TRY TO TELL YOU.

I KEEP LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT TIME--

SHUT UP!

BUT THERE NEVER SEEMS TO BE ONE.

I BELIEVE I'M HAVING A BABY IN ABOUT 6 MONTHS.

ANYWAY, MERRY CHRISTMAS, DRUM.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT NEXT CHRISTMAS,

WE'LL HAVE OUR OWN FAMILY?

NICE OF YOU TO SHOW UP.

THINK YOU CAN JUST STAY AWAY ALL NIGHT

THEN POP BACK IN HERE LIKE NOTHING'S HAPPENED?

EVIE.

OH...

EVIE!

MOVE IT.

WELL, EXCUSE ME FOR BEING HERE,

BUT YOU WERE AWAY, AFTER ALL.

ZIP ME UP, WOULD YOU?

OW!

HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE?

THINK MY CAR'S GONNA EVEN START?

WALK TO THE HIGHWAY AND CATCH A BUS.

IN THESE SHOES?

CAN'T YOU JUST GIVE ME A RIDE?

I DON'T HAVE THE TIME.

I'VE BEEN HOME. MY FATHER DIED.

EVIE, I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR FATHER.

NOTHING HAPPENED WITH HER.

WILL YOU SAY SOMETHING?

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT?

WE'VE GOT TO GET ORGANIZED.

HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED AT THIS PLACE?

IT'S A PIGPEN. AND I'M FREEZING TO DEATH.

THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT--HOUSEKEEPING?

NOT HOUSEKEEPING! JUST EVERYTHING!

LOOK AT YOURSELF, DRUM!

YOU'VE GOT TO PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT HAD ME KIDNAPPED LAST NIGHT.

I CAN'T LIVE UP TO THIS DREAM OF YOURS.

IT'S LIKE YOU'RE PUSHING ME TO LIFT SOMETHING

I DON'T HAVE THE MUSCLES FOR.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR CAREER, DRUM.

I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU.

WELL, WHAT IS IT YOU DON'T LIKE?

YOU DON'T WRITE ANYMORE. YOU DON'T PLAY.

YOU'VE JUST GIVEN UP. YOU DON'T EVEN TRY ANYMORE.

YOU WANT ME TO BE MORE LIKE YOU?

CRAWL THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW

EVEN WHEN THE FRONT DOOR'S OPEN?

YOU'RE RIGHT, EVIE. YOU'RE ALWAYS RIGHT.

YOU WANT TO CHANGE THINGS?

YOU WANT ME TO CHANGE?

BECAUSE GETTING MARRIED SURE DIDN'T DO IT, DID IT?

I DON'T KNOW WHY I THOUGHT ANYTHING WOULD BE DIFFERENT!

YOU'RE RIGHT, EVIE! THIS STINKS!

IT'S NO FUCKING GOOD!

IS THIS IT?! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?!

I WANT TO PACK UP AND LEAVE! WE CAN START OVER!

WE CAN MOVE INTO MY FATHER'S HOUSE TODAY!

YOU MEAN LIVE THERE, IN HIS HOUSE?

IT'S OUR HOUSE NOW.

THIS IS OUR FUCKING HOUSE!

IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT.

SHIT, EVIE.

I CAN'T JUST TRAIL AFTER YOU LIKE THAT.

OH, HEY.

MY GLOBE BROKE.

OH, THEN I'LL GO ALONE.

IF WE MOVE INTO THAT HOUSE,

WE'LL BE STUCK IN THIS TOWN FOREVER.

WE'LL DIE HERE.

IF YOU DON'T COME, THEN IT'S YOU LEAVING ME.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

AND WHAT ABOUT THIS?

HOW WILL YOU SUPPORT OUR BABY ALL ALONE?

AND HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN TO STRANGERS

HAVING "CASEY" WRITTEN ACROSS YOUR FACE?

I'LL TELL THEM IT'S MY NAME. IT IS MY NAME.

EVIE, DON'T GO.

Evie's voice: THERE'S SOMETHING I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU.

I'M AFRAID YOU WON'T WANT TO HEAR IT...

COME WITH ME THEN.

AT LEAST, THAT'S THE WAY I FEEL

WHENEVER I TRY TO TELL YOU.

I KEEP LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT TIME

OR THE RIGHT WAY, BUT THERE NEVER SEEMS TO BE ONE.

I BELIEVE I'M HAVING A BABY IN ABOUT 6 MONTHS.

ANYWAY, MERRY CHRISTMAS, DRUM.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT NEXT CHRISTMAS,

WE'LL HAVE OUR OWN FAMILY?

IN MY MIND, I SEE HIM CLEARLY.

HE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU.

HMM-MM.

YOU LIKE IT?

MM-HMM.

Man on radio: YOU'RE ON THE AIR WITH DICK DUNDAIR.

TONIGHT I'M BROADCASTING TO YOU LIVE

FROM THE FOX THEATER IN ATLANTA.

SO, WHEN MIGHT WE BE SEEING YOU BACK AT THE UNICORN?

Drum: WELL, I DON'T KNOW, BUT RIGHT NOW,

ME AND THE GUYS ARE HEADED OVER TO NASHVILLE

TO MAKE A RECORD.

Dundair: WELL, THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.

I NEVER DID KNOW WHAT YOU WERE ALL ABOUT,

BUT THE CROWD OUT THERE TONIGHT SURE SEEMED TO LIKE IT.

Drum: YOU THINK YOU'RE INVISIBLE, BUT I SEE YOU.

Dundair: IS THAT MORE OF THAT SPEAKING-OUT YOU DO?

Drum: NO. THAT'S ME TALKING.

Dundair: NOW, THIS ONE GOES OUT TO EVIE FROM DRUM.

HE LOVES HER VERY MUCH.

I BELIEVE HIM, EVIE. I THINK YOU SHOULD, TOO.
