All language subtitles for The Open Road 2009 DVDRIP Xvid AC3-THC-English

Last season,
a lot of people thought he was playing

even better than his dad did
when he first came into the minors,

but lately, you know,
Garrett's been in a bit of a slump.

Carlton's father, of course,
retired Hall-of-Famer Kyle Garrett.

And now he's back at the plate.

Halliday sets.
And the 1-2.

High fly ball,
right centerfield.

This should do it.
Jackie Liston drifts back.

And, well, the Hooks
lose this one 6-0.

Corpus has now lost the series,

but it's the first series
the Hooks have lost

since May 26th.

Son of a bitch.

Hey, Garrett,
come talk to me for a minute.

What's going on with you?

I'm just trying to
figure some things out.

Figure things out?

Yeah, you know,
whatever it is that's eluding me.

No, nothing's
eluding you, Garrett.

You're just stuck in your head,
that's all.

And baseball players
don't say things like "eluding."

So pull it out of your ass
and play some ball for me,

- will you, please?!
- Okay, Coach.

I got to level with you.

If things don't go well this weekend,
I'm thinking of making some changes.

Hey.

She had some
trouble breathing after lunch,

- drove herself over.
- What did they say?

They've recommended
a procedure.

It's a catheterization
of some kind.

I don't know.
They've had a lot of success with it,

but there's always a risk.

Now, listen,

they've got her on antibiotics
and they have to wait a few days,

but she won't agree to sign
the surgery waiver.

Right.

If she falls unconscious,
they can do it without her consent.

Otherwise we'll need
a court order

and I don't know
if we can get one.

Okay, Grandad,
I'll talk to her.

Hey.

Hey, I was listening.

What happened to you
out there tonight?

I thought you were
gonna pull that off.

Yeah, me too.

Were you wearing your thing?

Oh.

We've been buds a long time,
haven't we?

Yes we have.

And have I asked you for much
during that time?

Have I asked you
for many favors?

No, not really.

Okay, I need to ask you
for one now.

Anything, Mom.
You know that.

I need to see your father.

Mom.

If he's not here
when I go into surgery,

I'm gonna die
on that table.

- Come on.
- You tell him I'm crazy.

You tell him... I don't care...
whatever you want to tell him,

but I'm not signing that waiver
till he gets here.

I won't.

Okay, wait a second.
Let's just calm down here.

No, I need to see him, Carlton.

And don't tell me to calm down

when I'm laying here
with a fucking hole in my heart!

Mom!

Shit, I'm scared.

Shit.

I'm scared!

Okay, this time I am really scared
and I don't know why.

So please tell me you'll do it.

- If that's what you want.
- That is what I want.

Okay, I'll do it.

I promise.

Thanks.

Hey.
- Hey.

Look, I'm sorry
to just call like this, but...

Wow.

Why don't you
just try calling him?

You don't know him, Lucy.

I mean, he's not exactly
easy to talk to.

Ah.

If you were to ask this guy
how he was doing,

instead of saying "fine,"

he would say
something like

"Better than a chigger
on the back of a hound dog."

I don't get it either.

Well, I guess
you are in a pickle.

I don't know what to tell you.

I mean, I'm sorry
about your mom.

I am.
This whole thing is just...

Yeah yeah, I know.

Well, I'm subbing for
two classes in the morning.

You gonna be okay?

- Yeah.
- You call me if you need anything,

or if Katherine needs anything.

Okay.

Thanks for coming over.

Love you.

Love you too.

Did I wake you?

No, I was just baking
a fruitcake.

You want some?

Good one.

Um, I wanted to say thanks
for coming by earlier.

- Did you call him?
- I got his agent.

He's at an autograph show
in Ohio.

Can you believe the guy
still doesn't have a cell phone?

So anyway, um...

I'll go.

- You will?
- But, look, I gotta be back by Wednesday,

- no later.
- Wednesday. Done.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Yeah, so I'm thinking
for this first thing or whatever,

um, maybe I'll just
do it on my own.

Okay.

Maybe we can have a nice dinner
or something after.

Go.
Go, young man.

Face your demon.

It all boils down to this.
It's all on the shoulders

of Garrett.
Oh!

- Oh my goodness.
- Oh, it looks to be good!

Are you kidding me?

It's out of here!

- Absolutely unbelievable!
- This is amazing.

Garrett has done it. Kyle Garrett has just
won the National League pennant

for the Houston Astros!

Thanks.

He's got me swinging
so damn hard

I was spinning around in the dirt
and I strike out.

Then I got to walk
back to the bench

with my teammates
laughing their asses off.

I lose my 100 bucks,

but I learned
an important lesson...

you never trust a rookie.

Ever!

Okay, well, we have time
for one or two more questions.

- Right there.
- What happened to Palmer?

I thought he was
supposed to be here.

Bob needed to be
at home with his wife.

They're expecting their second child,
so unfortunately he had to cancel.

What do you think
about that, Lonestar?

Well, I guess
maybe Viagra does work.

Believe it or not,
Kegs is even older than I am.

So when his wife got
pregnant the first time,

I told him not to worry.
I'd find the bastard that did it.

And then last month when he told me
she was pregnant again,

well, that was quite a blow.

I realized I'd killed
the wrong guy.

All right. Well, there's the pitching contest
tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

So I hope you can all make it.

And we'll be selling tickets outside.

All right now,
who do we got next?

What you got there for me,
little pardner?

A baseball card.

Well, put it on up here.
I ain't gonna bite.

Only two things you've got to
worry about as far as that goes:

rattlesnakes
and redheads, okay?

You're too young for one,
too far north for the other,

- you know what I'm saying?
- He's growing up quick.

Okay, here's your card.
Let's take our picture.

I think you're the best, Mr. Garrett.
Nobody since Ted Williams

- can swing a bat like you, sir.
- I appreciate that.

All right. All right, you take care
of this little slugger now.

- Oh, yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
- All right. See you.

I got about 15 more
in me, sweetie.

All right.
Come on up now.

Hello.

What can I do for you?

I tried to call you in Arizona.

Mike said you were here
and that you still didn't have a phone,

so I just flew up.

I don't know if that
answers my question,

but it sure is good
to see you.

I need to talk to you
in private.

It's important.

Sweetie, can you put some
more ice in that for me?

If I would have been able
to reach you by phone,

- I just...
- Kyle, they changed the thing

over at the pavilion.
They're gonna do it at 6:00.

Okay, I'll see you over there.
Oh hey,

this is a fan of mine.

He come all the way
up here from Texas.

Oh, all right.
Welcome to Ohio.

- Jack Masterson.
- Carlton Garrett.

Well, see you over there then?

All right, I'll see you there.

- Thank you, darlin'
- Sure thing.

- You're holding up the line.
- Dad.

- What?
- Please.

Look, I'm staying
at the same hotel you are.

I'm here with my friend Lucy.
When you're done with this,

maybe you could just, I don't know,
meet us at the bar or something after.

All right, this dog and pony show
will be over around 8:00.

I'll see about swinging by after.
How's that?

- Thanks.
- Hey, buddy. What you got there?

Lonestar, sir, I have to say
it is an honor to meet you.

Maybe you should
just call his room.

Let's just give him 20 minutes.

- If he's not down here in 20 minutes...
- A whole lot can happen in 20 minutes.

You must be Lucy.

- Yeah.
- Oh, I swear,

Garrett must've been born
under a lucky star.

You're prettier than a spotted heifer
in a pansy patch.

Well, thank you.

I got to apologize to y'all.

They got me acting like
a little circus bear around here.

Had to have drinks
with the programmers up there.

You know, cocktails up
in my room and they just...

well, they just kept
going on and on ad infinitim.

And now they got me

going to this damn dinner.

Didn't even know about it.
Didn't tell me about it.

But I sure would love
to have you join me.

Would you mind doing that?

And then we could go over
the private matter?

It's really kind
of serious, Dad.

Yeah, well, I know, son,

but hey, if you'd
given me a heads-up...

if you'd let me know
you were coming,

I would've made time.

I would've canceled
this whole deal.

Mom's dying.

- What?
- The thing with her heart,

the defect,

it finally got worse

and now they have to operate.

And she wants to see you.

What are you talking about?

She wants to see you
before she goes into the operating room.

That's what she asked for.

That's what we came to tell you.

Well...

you know,
I'd love to come,

but I'm, uh...

I'm under contract
here with this thing.

I don't know if I can just
drop everything and fly off.

Uh...

- when's the operation?
- They want to do it as soon as possible.

Hmm.

Well, you caught me
a little off guard here,

but sure.

Yeah.
Of course.

So you'll fly down?

Well, I'm not gonna walk.
Of course I'm gonna fly down.

When I check into this party,
this dinner deal,

and I'll tell 'em the situation.
I'll look into flights in the morning.

Okay?
We're on the 10:00 tomorrow,

so we could all go together.

As long as I can sit next to you.

Okay then.

Well, I wish the circumstances
had been better,

- but it sure is good to meet you.
- You too.

- See you in the morning.
- Okay.

- Call your room.
- Thank you.

All right.

- That seemed to go pretty well.
- You're a total liar.

What are you talking about?

Mom's dying?

If she doesn't get
the operation, she will.

Look, what are you
trying to do, okay?

He said he would go.

- Can we not just be happy about that?
- Hmm.

You're the one who blushed
when he called you a heifer.

That's a cow.

- I know what a heifer is.
- Well well.

Here you go, pardner.

Lonestar, I appreciate it.

#11 in your program;
#1 in your heart.

- He doesn't stop.
- All right.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

All right then.

Let's go to Houston.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- Where are you?
- I'm at the airport in Columbus.

Are you...
how you feeling?

I'm fine.

Have you talked to your dad?

Yeah yeah, I'm looking
at him right now.

He's getting his ticket.
We should be in tonight.

Mom?

Yeah.
I didn't know if he would come.

Well, he's coming.

I'm bringing him
just like you asked.

What'd he say?

He said that if you wanted
him there, he was there.

And now we're at the airport.

Tell him I said thank you.

I will and I'll call you
when we get in, okay?

Thanks, baby.

You're welcome, Mom.

Now get some rest.
I'll call you in a few hours, okay?

Okay.

Hey.
Who's he talking to?

Homeland Security.

He lost his wallet,
so he doesn't have an ID.

I completely understand
your predicament, Tom.

- Good.
- And believe me,

I thank God that you boys
are down here doing your jobs

- which isn't an easy one.
- Thank you.

It's not like you don't know
who I am.

Right?
I mean, uh,

the Lonestar
ain't exactly no Arab.

Mr. Garrett,

believe me, if there's
anything I could do,

I would do it.
If I don't scan something,

- I'll lose my job.
- You believe this?

May I talk to you for a minute?

With the new security laws,
they won't let you on a private flight...

I appreciate it.
I appreciate it.

Well, pal, I really don't know
what happened to it.

I don't know.
See, I had a few drinks last night.

Maybe we could
check the hotel.

Please tell me
you're not gonna do this.

- Do what?
- I just got off the phone with her.

She's counting on you.

Well, what do you
want me to do, kiddo?

Haven't you ever lost
your wallet?

Couldn't you have someone
overnight your passport?

It expired. Besides, there's nobody
to overnight it anyway.

You know, I think the Lonestar
is being a pretty good guy here.

I mean, you show up
out of the blue,

I haven't seen you
for five years,

- here I am trying to get on a plane.
- No you're not.

And it's been four.

Let me try and explain
something here, okay?

Now she asked
for you to be there,

not for you to try
to get on a plane,

- but for you to be there.
- Looks like I'm at the airport to me.

- Without your wallet!
- What do you want me to do?!

Huh.

Sorry.
Was that me?

Yeah.
What were you gonna say?

No, nothing. I was just trying
to internally ponder something,

but the internal thing
didn't really work out.

You go on, sweetheart.

Something tells me if you've got
something to say, it's probably good.

- What is it?
- Well,

I was just thinking...
this is entirely up to y'all,

but you could always
just drive.

You'd think a car this size
would have some leg room.

Jesus God.

This is the most uncomfortable seat.

I don't understand this.

You asked for the biggest thing
they had. This was it.

- I asked for a Lincoln.
- They didn't have a Lincoln.

You know,
when I was a kid,

what we called
"a hummer"

was something
entirely different.

It was a kid in the choir
who couldn't sing.

Barbara Big Legs...
she was the one in ours.

Sang like a goat.

- You okay back there?
- Yeah, I'm okay.

- How about you?
- So I guess you two

have known each other
for quite a while now.

Yeah, about five years.

Hmm.

We met at a book reading.

- Oh really? Is that right?
- Mm-hmm.

I try to read to myself
every now and then,

but my lips get tired.

Carlton's actually been
doing some writing...

some short stories and stuff.

Eventually, he's gonna
write a book.

- You're kidding me.
- Hm-mm.

Huh.

He must get that
from his mother's side.

I remember he used
to talk about you,

you know, back when.

- Really?
- No, good stuff.

Good stuff.

I remember thinking

his voice would always
kind of sound different

whenever he'd say your name.

It always brought
a smile to my face.

How do you mean different?

Oh, you know, like someone
who's happy, I guess.

In love.

Well...

I think I'm gonna go in there
and get some booze,

get drunk.
You want anything?

No, I'm good.
Thank you.

Okay.

Mmn.

I called the school.

They kind of want me
back by tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

Hey.

- Look...
- You're welcome.

- I mean it.
- I know.

You didn't have
to do any of this,

but you did
and I'm grateful.

I appreciate it.

Hey, there's something
else I have to tell...

I mean, this whole thing
is so strange, right?

I mean, I look at the guy
and I know he's my father,

but I'm not sure
he even exists anymore.

He's probably been playing
the part for so long,

- the real Kyle's just gone.
- Did you hear what I said?

What?

Yeah, I'm sorry.
No, that should be fine.

I mean, I think we'll make
Memphis tonight.

We'll get you a flight
out in the morning.

I'm serious, Lucy.

I couldn't have
done this without you.

See you later, buddy.

God, what the hell's
he doing now?

- Hey, you okay?
- Yeah.

All right, well,

should probably
get back in the...

right?
Gotta try and make Memphis.

Yeah. Right.
Darlin',

would you mind doing me a favor
and grabbing my bag there?

- I got some pills in there.
- Yeah, sure.

- Would you bring it to me?
- Sure.

Thank you.

- What kind of pills?
- I don't know. Blue ones.

- What are they for?
- Well, let's say they're for my hip,

they're for my leg bone,

my back, some are
for my ankle.

What aren't they for?

You should never
dive head-first, son.

Always slide into the base,

but don't dive.

- Are you gonna be all right?
- Probably.

I can't say the idea
of crawling back

into that oversized Tonka Toy
and speeding through the night

particularly lights
my candle, though.

Well, if we stop now, we're not
gonna make it by Friday, Dad.

We're barely gonna make it
by Thursday as it is now.

We can't stop.

I'm sorry, but we just can't.

Yeah, I'll miss tomorrow night's
practice, but that's it.

Yeah, I'll see you on Friday.
Thanks.

You get through to your mom?

Yup.
And the team.

This whole thing is just...
I don't know about all this.

About what?

The wallet, the hipbone,
the neck... whatever.

This is his thing.
This is what he does.

I told you.

He commits to something
and then the idea

of commitment itself
starts to totally freak him out.

I know him.

He's looking for a way out.

He's just...

well, let's just say
the guy has some issues.

What, commitment issues?

Yeah, exactly.

Oh, Carlton.

- You want a drink?
- No.

Lucy's waitin'
I don't want the food to get cold.

She seems like a great girl.

You know, I've been around.

I had a chance
to meet a few people.

There's not as many great ones
out there as you would think.

So how come
you stopped calling?

One day we're talking
and the next thing I know...

You disconnected
your phone, Dad.

Well, so did you.

That was my dorm phone.

I graduated.

I ever tell you about the first time
I met your mother?

No.

I was at this party.

And she just walked
into the room.

I wish you could've seen her.

She was 19 years old.
She had this smile that just...

whoo!

Anyway, I get her number,

and then I start to...

talk to this other girl, see?

Was gonna make her jealous.

And that...

is when this shoe

hits me right in the head.

She hucked a shoe

straight across the room...

hit me right here,
drew a little blood.

But she had a hell
of an arm.

- Mmm!
- I guess so.

Oh, bam!

I think it was that smile, though.
That's what got me.

Oh, that was something else.

What about you?
You gonna marry her?

- What? Lucy?
- Mm-hmm.

Ah, we're just friends.

Friends?

That girl, she's finer
than the hair on a frog.

What the... what are you thinkin'?

Uh, well,

we used to go out,

but, uh, I don't know.

I guess I was too focused
on the game.

How's that slump going?

I'm working
my way out of it.

Look, I'm gonna go.

We should probably leave
first thing in the morning

- so try to get some rest.
- Hey, uh,

thanks for finding me.

Son, thanks for gettin' me.

See you in the morning.

Hey.

- Hey.
- I'm sorry.

From flying and everything.

I miss you.

I just can't believe it.
I can't believe any of this shit.

Reeves is gonna take me out of
the lineup if I don't play well on Saturday,

my mom is in a hospital bed
convinced she's about to die

and this guys is, I don't know,
just out with a barfly.

That's...

I mean, who does that?

How could anybody do that?

Hey, um,
there's something

that I've been trying
to tell you,

but it felt really weird.

What?

Jason proposed to me.

I know it's a bad time,

but I felt really weird
keeping it a secret

from you.

And it's one of the reasons why
I have to get back on Wednesday.

What did you say?

I told him I'd think about it.

What does that mean?
Are you...

are you leaning
in a particular direction?

I don't know.

Jesus.

Uh...

well, that is news.

Shit.

That's, uh...
that's great.

I mean, Jason is, uh...

he's, uh...
he's a great guy.

And, uh...

I thought you'd...

you know.

No. No.

I know it may not
seem like it sometimes,

but I want you to be happy.

You know?
I love you.

- Can I get you some more coffee?
- Yeah.

- You, dear?
- No, thank you.

We're just waiting
on someone.

I'll see you later now.
Bye bye.

Okay.

I want you to wear that mask next time.

All set?

I guess that's a yes.

If you get tired and you want me
to drive, just let me know.

No thanks. I'm good.

So I hear you're
working on a novel.

- Nope.
- That's not what I heard.

Well, you heard wrong.

Whatcha workin' on then?

One day I'd like to write a book.

Right now I just do
journal entries.

- Journal entries.
- Yup.

What's that, like a diary?

No, it's like
a writer's notebook.

Short stories, essays...
stuff like that.

Why don't you just
write the novel?

I will. Eventually.

Thank you.

Well, you know what
Papa Garrett always used to say:

"There ain't no tomorrow
quite as nice as today."

Of course, that's just one man's opinion.

It sure is nice country.
Beautiful, hmm?

Yup.

Rolaid?

No. Thanks.

Go on, have one.

Why would I want a Rolaid?

Well, I don't know.
Might be for relief.

You know, I don't know
where along the way

you became so joyless, son,

but that's probably why
you can't hit the ball anymore.

You're not having fun out there,
you don't stand a chance.

Hey, the guy in there said

there's a lot of
construction on the 65.

He said we should take
this one... the 79, I think.

Well, that sounds like a good idea.

Well...

That big ol' red Hummer looks like
I'm about to do battle with something.

But what the heck?

That did not say 79.

- This is like an access road.
- The map says it'll curve around.

Keep curving.
It's like a slider...

keeps heading south.

And he hit that ball
so damn hard

that I'm coming
around like this, you know?

'Cause you know what Dr. Pepper is,
don't you?

You know what it is?

Okay, look,

this is the exact same
intersection we were at.

Take a right.

- Operator.
- Yeah, hi.

Operator, I'm in a phone booth

somewhere, obviously,

and I was... well, I was hoping
you could tell me where that might be.

You want me
to tell you where you are?

Yeah yeah. Yes, please. From your little
computer map there or whatever.

From my what?

Sir, will you please speak up?
I can't hear you.

Sir?

Hello?

Hey, Dad,

instead of just waving
at the next car that drives by,

maybe the next one you just flag 'em down
and ask 'em where the hell we are.

Yeah.
Great.

A Kentucky phone booth?

We kind of got off the highway.

And I can't get any
cell range out here.

Now we're completely lost.

Sounds like you're on
an interesting ride.

Yeah, well, I'm a little more
concerned about you right now.

Yeah, well, you mustn't
ever ignore the ride, honey.

Mom, okay, the truth of it is
I don't know how long this is gonna take.

And I just don't think
it's a good idea to wait for us.

Well, that's not
your decision to make.

Mom, we could be
talking about your life.

We are talking about my life.

Right.

All I'm asking
is that you do your best.

Look, I'm gonna
get him down there, okay?

- I promise you that.
- You do that.

I'll call you when we get
further down the road.

Let's go.

Come on, forget the map.
We'll stop and ask at the first place we see.

- I think we're on Farm Road 20.
- Whatever. Let's go.

- What is your problem?
- Problem?

- Yeah!
- Problem? I think it's plural, Lucy.

- I think I have problems.
- Okay, first of all,

stop calling me "Lucy."
My whole life

it's been "honey" or "baby"
or whatever,

and now all of a sudden
it's "Lucy."

And second of all, have you
even stopped for a minute

- to think about why I came on this trip?
- Oh yeah, oh yeah.

- You have?
- Yeah.

- Really? Why?
- I know exactly why!

- Why?
- To rub it in.

- What?
- I blew it, okay?!

You were the best thing
that ever happened to me

and I fucked it all up!
What else do you want me to do?!

Do you want me to take this bumper
and plunge it through my chest?!

- Yes, that would be a start!
- Fine! Fine!

What are you doing?

You look like an idiot!

I am an idiot, okay?!
Are you happy now?

I am an idiot, okay?
That's me.

So do you two
have a favorite song?

You know,
like a couple's song?

No.

"Que Sera, Sera."

Oh yeah.

I remember that one.
That's a good one.

There was this singer
called Jonny Ace

back in the day.

He had this beautiful song

called "Forever My Darling."

It was a real dandy.
That was his mother and mine's.

# Forever my darling #

# I'll always be true #

# From now till forever #

# I'll love only you... #

# Just promise me, darling #

# Your love in return #

# Make this fire in my soul, dear #

# Forever burn. #

That gonna be it?

Maybe just some cyanide.

Uh, Advil would be fine.

My wife makes those.

- How much are they?
- Five bucks.

I think she's
charging too much.

I don't know, man.
Here. I'll take two.

Let's see,
that's gonna be...

$14.50.

- Uh, so...
- Yeah.

So this is gonna be easy.

You just go straight
down here to the 20

and you're gonna see
that sign for the interstate.

Thank you.

- You get it all figured out?
- Yup.

You'd think this humdinger
would have one of them sonar deals

to track our course
straight from the start.

You know what I'm saying?

But then again, we could've
stayed on the interstate.

Well, what the hell do I know?

I'm just Tom
and Hazel's baby boy.

I always kind of wished
that I'd played ball

back when they
used to take trains.

Travel around with the boys.

Wouldn't that be something?

The last team that did that

was the Royals.

Now they...
see, they went

from train to plane.
They never took a bus.

I don't know. I guess
the owner's wife must have died

in a bus crash or something.

Something chapped your hide?

- What, me?
- Yeah, you. Yeah.

No.

- Well, what is it then?
- Nothing.

You don't like my stories,
you can just say so.

Dad, it's not that.

I just... I'm worried about
a lot of things right now.

I'm sorry if I'm a little pensive.

- Pensive.
- Yeah, I guess I'm just distracted.

I know what it means.

I wasn't suggesting that you
didn't know what it meant.

Just because you make
diary notes now,

you think you're the only
literate one in the family?

- Is that about right?
- What?

- Okay, what's happening here?
- I'll tell you what's happening.

You're being a pissant.

- Excuse me?
- You got two good people

to agree to go on this
whole road trip with you.

You ain't being very nice
to either of them.

Maybe you should appreciate
what you've got in front of you.

My mom is waiting for you
in an emergency room

and you have the gall
to criticize me?!

You're the worst husband
in the history of time!

Hey! Where the hell
are you going?!

This whole thing
is a revenge thing.

- What are you talking about?!
- Hey, let me tell you something.

I don't owe you anything!

Understand that.
I never have and I still don't.

Who said you owed me anything?!
I don't want anything from you!

- What do you call this?!
- This is for Katherine!

What part of your brain
can't understand that?

Hey hey, I don't spend my life
just hanging on a coat rack.

- What?!
- For five years, not one word?!

- Oh, come on!
- You don't call me

- for five years?!
- Nobody called me either!

- I called you last.
- No you didn't!

I left you a message
two Christmasses ago.

Yeah, and I left one for you
on New Year's!

That was three
New Years' ago!

What are you doing?

Shit.

- What happened? Here.
- Get away from me!

- Let me help you
- Get away from me!

- You okay?
- I'm fine. I'm fi...

What the hell'd you do to him?

Hey, how's he doing?

Well, he's pretty banged up,

but I gave him a shot of cortisone.
Should do the trick.

I'll refill his prescriptions
and you can pick 'em up at the pharmacy.

- All right, thank you so much.
- Sure thing.

- Are you holding up okay?
- Yeah, I...

I have a bit of a snowball effect
thing happening here,

- but I'm fine.
- Oh, you don't sound fine.

What's on your mind?

I don't know, Grandad.

I guess I thought I knew
what I was doing with my life

and I'm starting to think
I just screw everything up.

You know,
I'm no one to give advice,

but I can tell you this:

Life is about
screwing things up, Carlton.

That's what we're here for.

It's the things you screw up
and still have the courage to fight for.

Those are the things
that usually matter the most.

Okay?

Okay.

It's open.

It's open!

Hey, Kyle, it's me.

Oh. Hey.
Come in.

- Ol' doc took care of me.
- Well, good.

I'm gonna get your
prescription in a minute.

Oh, don't worry about that.
I'm gonna pick that up myself.

I just need to
take a little time here.

Everything all right?

Yeah.
Um, I was just wondering

if I could talk to you
for a minute.

A minute? Yeah, you could talk
to me for a whole hour.

Come here. Sit down.

What you got
on your mind, darlin'?

Well, remember the other day
at the gas station

when I got your bag for you?

Yeah.

What are you doing out here?

I was just thinkin'

What were you
thinking about?

Actually, um,

I was thinking about

that time in Galveston.

Do you remember that carnival
in Galveston?

There was that big fat guy
who would not

sell me that heart-shaped
necklace you wanted.

Yeah. He made you
trade him your watch for it.

Yeah.
That's right.

That was a fun night.

It sure was.

- Do you still have it?
- What, the necklace?

I don't know. Yeah.

I doubt it.

Hey, I...

I don't want you
to marry him.

I know that I hurt you

and, ha...

and there's nothing I can do
to take it back.

You just came home
one day and said,

"Sorry, I'm moving to Corpus.
I need to focus on my game."

God. That's because
I was an idiot.

Hey.

You're going through
a lot right now. I know.

It's not fair of me
to have brought it up.

No. No, it's completely fair.

It's completely fair.

I just want you to know
how sorry I am...

and that if you thought
there was ever a chance that...

that you could forgive me...

What, for being an idiot?

Yeah.

And for not cherishing you.

I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
get your dad's prescription.

- I'll be right back, okay?
- Okay.

How you holding
up there, pardner?

- Not to bad.
- Oh, hell. That's better 'n most.

What can I get for you?

Why don't you start me off
with a good old cold beer?

Lonestar if you've got one.

I know you from somewhere?

No, I don't think so.

You're Kyle Garrett, aren't you?

Well, to be perfectly honest,
I have been called worse.

What are you doing here?

Well, I'm drinking.

- Hey.
- Hey. Where are you?

I'm still in Kentucky,
but I should be back tomorrow night.

I'm gonna fly out of Memphis.

I thought you were
gonna be back last night.

I don't understand
any of this.

It's just something
that I had to do, Jason.

It doesn't mean anything.

It doesn't mean that I don't...

I wish I just knew what
was going on, you know?

Well, I'll just have to explain it
when I get back then, okay?

" You're supposed to do this.
You're supposed to do that,"

and on and on,
nagging.

And I turn to him
and I say,

"I may not know much,
but what I do know

I know the hell out of."

Son of a bitch docks me
two days' pay!

- No! That son of a...
- Hey, I was looking earlier for you.

- Hey.
- Come on in here.

This is...
Johnny, this is my son.

Welcome.
Glad you made it.

- Carlton Garrett.
- Nice to meet you.

He's a ballplayer like his old man,
what you call a natural-born athlete.

- How about getting him a Lonestar?
- All right, slugger.

Give me one of those too,
would you please?

Whoa.
Oh oh.

Time for the Lonestar
to take a load off.

Let's get a table.

Come on, just the two of us.

You sure it's a good idea

to drink with all these
painkillers and everything?

Oh, always
a good idea to drink.

- Oh, thank you, Johnny.
- Thank you.

Hey, I don't care
what they say about you.

You're a good man.

Remember it.

- Lucy got these for you.
- Aww.

She's a peach, that girl.

Whew. 25.

I'd kill a man to be 25 again.

You would?

You talk to her?
Your mother?

How's she doing?

She's hanging in there.

Well, I'll tell you something.

I know this old boy,
works for the airlines in Dallas...

Walter Henry Heigan.

And he's got his top guy
here in Memphis.

He's gonna walk us
straight through security

right onto the plane.

- Just show up?
- Yup. That's it.

You don't need your ID
or anything?

No, I sure don't.
Talked to him back at the motel.

That's great.
Thanks.

Don't mention it. I figured
I'd slowed us down enough already.

I know you didn't have
to come on this trip.

Oh, forget about it.

I got to spend some time
with my son.

Hey, I don't want to be
telling you your business,

but if I were you and I had
a pretty little thing like that

waiting for me back
at the Blue Moon Motel,

I sure as hell wouldn't be
sitting here with me talking.

All right.

Dad?

I'm sorry I didn't call you
for so long.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Guess what?
- What?

- He did it.
- Did what?

Uh, whatever.
That thing you were talking about.

He got us on a flight out
of Memphis in the morning.

I guess somebody's
down there waiting.

Uh, yeah, I know.

I was there
when he figured it out.

He said he wanted
to tell you himself,

otherwise I would've
said something.

Huh.

Well, this is a good development.

I must concur.

You look good.

Thanks.

- Um, did you want to talk about earlier?
- No.

Because...

I'm just gonna read.

Uh...

I'm just gonna take a...

a shower.

Cold shower.

You boys hold down the bar.

The Lonestar shall return.

#... a little girl #

# I asked my mother #

# What would I be #

# Here's what she said to me #

# Que sera, sera #

#Whatever will be, will be. #

Hey, come on.

- Where's Kyle?
- He's gonna meet us at the gate.

Why didn't he just
wait for us?

I don't know. Maybe they had to walk him
through security or something.

Yeah, tell her we'll be in
around 7:00.

Okay. Bye.

We should board.
You ready?

Okay.

- What are you drinking?
- Tasty beverage.

So your friend took care
of your ticket then, huh?

- Yeah.
- That was nice of him.

Yeah, well,
that's old Walter for you.

He even walked me
through security.

I thought you said
Walter was based in Dallas.

He is.

There are two Walters.

His son's actually based here...
Walter Jr.

Walter Jr.

Uh, yeah.

He's a good one.

Heart as big
as all outdoors... Walter Jr.

I'm gonna go find Lucy.
I'll be right back.

Time to go?

What?

- I'd like to know what's going on.
- What do you mean?

I'm trying as hard as I can
to be honest with you.

Okay?

I'm trying as hard as I can
to forgive my father

for being dishonest
his entire life.

And I don't know.
I have this sneaking suspicion

that everyone involved
has been lying to me.

It's not like that.
It just seemed pointless to tell you.

Tell me what?

Well, when I helped
your dad with his bag,

I noticed his wallet in there.

When I asked him about it,
he said it'd be pointless to tell you

because there's no way you'd believe
he'd hide it there intentionally.

Okay, so he made up this whole story
about his airline friend.

And, look, he didn't tell you
'cause he didn't want to upset you.

He didn't want to upset me.

What was I supposed to do?
He's here, isn't he?

You were supposed
to tell me the truth!

I was stuck, okay?
I was stuck in between.

You got him his bag
at the gas station.

- That was two days ago.
- What difference does it make?

We could've flown
out of Louisville.

- We could've been there already.
- No, we couldn't have.

Hey, my mom has been
in the hospital the entire time.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Will you wait a second, Carlton?

You don't understand.

- Where the hell is he?
- Can we talk about this, please?

Just stop, okay?

He's not in there.

Calm down.
He probably got onboard already.

Why would he board
without us?

I can't believe this.

You don't even care, do you?

No, Carlton.
I don't care.

That's why I came on this trip

and canceled a week of classes
and alienated my fianc�.

Oh, so now he's your fianc�.

Well, I didn't know
you had accepted.

I'm gonna go try to
find him, okay?

If I'm not back in 10 minutes,
will you... meet me out front.

This is the final boarding call
for flight 580 to Houston.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the cabin doors are now closed.

The captain has turned on
the Fasten Seat Belt sign.

Please make sure
your seat backs and tray tables

are in their upright
and locked position.

- Where are you now?
- Memphis.

I'm afraid I got some bad news.

Did I ever tell you what I did
for the first 18 years of your life?

- Mom, come on.
- Sleep deprivation for five years.

Uh, PTA meetings.
I fit in real well there.

- Mom.
- Ju-juice-jit...

- Jujitsu.
- Jujitsu.

Um, every time you would
leave the house,

I prayed to Jesus, Buddha,
whoever would listen,

that you would come back
in one piece.

I don't regret it. I'm not saying
I regret a second of it, Carlton,

but if you're gonna tell me
it was all for nothing,

and now when I need you the most
you're not there,

then who do I have?

- Who do I have, Carlton?
- Mom!

If I don't have you,
who do I have?

Would you stop
this stuff, please?

Look, I love you. I love you
and I'd do anything for you,

but... but he's gone.

He left me here at the airport.

Okay, I'm gonna tell you
something real important.

Sometimes in our life,
some of us anyway,

we really only get
one person.

No matter how much we try,

no matter who else we meet,

we're not ever gonna love
anybody else

as much as we love them.

What do you want me to do?

Um...

well, there's
an old hotel downtown...

I guess it's still there...

called The Peabody.

If your dad's still in Memphis,

I bet that's where he'll be.

Actually, if you just want
to keep the same car,

it'll be cheaper that way.

Good evening.
How may I help you?

I'm trying to find someone.

Last name?

Garrett.

No. No one by that name
has checked in yet.

No reservation.
Nothing.

- Afraid not.
- All right. I'll take a room if you have one.

- Just for the one night?
- Just for the one night.

Hi, this is Lucy.
Leave a message and I'll get back to you.

- You doing all right?
- Oh yeah.

What brings you to
this neck of the woods?

You here on business?

Uh, sort of.

What do you do,
if you don't mind my asking?

Well, uh...

I'm... I'm a writer.

A writer. No kidding.
What kind of stuff you write?

Short stories and stuff like that,

but I think that I've come up
with an idea for a book.

Well, that sounds good.

So you know what
it's gonna be about?

Actually, I don't know how
it all ends yet,

but I guess you could say
it's mainly about,

uh, an idiot.

- An idiot?
- Yeah.

- You got a title picked out?
- No.

I guess I should work on that.

I'm gonna probably
set it on the road.

An idiot on the road.

Yeah.

- Exactly.
- I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Great. Well, I should
probably call it a night.

Sure thing.
I can put that on your room if you like.

Oh, okay.
Last name's Garrett.

Oh, so you're here with Kyle.

What?

Are you Kyle's son?

- Yeah.
- That's funny.

He was just in here earlier.
And he was actually talking about you.

But I thought he said
you were a ballplayer.

Did he sign for his drinks,

- put 'em under a room?
- Yeah.

Yeah, it's under
another name though.

You want me
to put it on that one?

Hey, Dad.
Hey!

- Hey.
- Move your foot.

- No.
- Move your foot!

I can't!
You've got it pinned.

Hey.

Get out!

Get the f...

Get off! Get off of me!

Get off of me!

Why didn't you love us?

I did.

I just loved myself more.

We're leaving

first thing in the morning.

All right.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please give a warm welcome
to the Peabody ducks.

The march of the Peabody ducks
is a time-honored tradition

dating back to 1933.

General manager Frank Schutt
and his friend

returned from
a weekend hunting trip,

decided to slip
their live duck decoys

into the hotel's lobby fountain
as a practical joke.

Hey.
Hi there.

You all right, Mr. Garrett?

Oh, this.

My son bashed my head
into a towel rack, but I'm fine.

- Thanks for asking, though.
- My pleasure.

I've always been a huge fan, sir.

Ah. #11 in the program;
#1 in your heart.

Have a good day.

You too.

What's the deal with the ducks?

I don't know.
Some kind of custom they have here.

I guess they live
up on the roof.

Huh.

Reminds me of something.

Yeah, well,
you've seen 'em before.

Your mother and I,
we used to bring you here

back... back when
we was a family.

Here you go, babe.

back up in Memphis
and he's rented the exact same Hummer.

Say, uh, is he some kind of
a big deal or something?

Baseball player.

Oh, baseball.

Now there's an exciting sport.

I think I'd rather watch
the grass grow.

Thanks.

Hey.

All right, there you boys go.

Hey. She got an infection.
They had to take her in.

- What?
- They took Katherine into surgery.

- They're right over there, sir.
- Oh.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

- Hey there, Amon.
- Hey.

- Kyle, how you doing, buddy?
- All right.

- How you doing? Virg'
- Kyle.

Uh, I just got through talking
to the chief of staff.

He was telling me
that this surgeon that they got for her

is one of the top in the country.

They say he's highly regarded.

Yeah.

So, uh...

she's gonna be fine.

Hey, how is she?

She's, uh, still
in the operating room.

Doctors won't
tell us anything.

But I think it's taking longer
than we expected.

So...

- Hey, look...
- I'm not... I'm not mad at you.

I understand.

Well, we're still waiting, so...

Hey there, folks.

Okay, well, we're gonna
keep her here for about 10 days,

watch her progress,
but I think she's gonna be all right.

Oh.

But the truth is
it's never gonna be the same.

I will say if she takes
care of herself,

if the patch
doesn't break down,

then I think she
has a real good chance.

Well, thank you, Doctor.

Thanks for saving my girl.

Yes, sir.

They'll move her into recovery

and then I'll have the nurse
show you where she is

- so y'all can get her settled.
- Sure appreciate it, Doc.

- Have we met before?
- No,

but I sure am glad
to know you now.

All right.

Here you go.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

I was having this dream.

Yeah?

What was it about?

I don't know.

We were both in it.

I remember that.

And that was nice.

Well, you know how that goes.

You're gonna get up,
you're gonna have your coffee

and then as the day goes on

you're gonna start
to see little clues.

Yeah.

I love how that happens.

Little clues.

Life was so new
and exciting.

Yeah, it was.

I talked to the doctors.

They said you're gonna be fine.

How's our son?

Our son was raised
by an amazing woman.

I think he's
gonna be fine too.

After 82 years of hanging around,

there's one thing
I've figured out,

one thing I know for sure.

Yeah? What's that?

I can't tell you.

What?

I want to, I really do,

but I can't put it
into words right now.

Any reason

you would bring it up
at all then?

Just felt like talking.

Ahh.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Carlton, there's something
I have to tell you.

I'm not gonna play
baseball anymore.

What are you talking about?

I don't think
I ever really liked it.

- It's been your whole life.
- I know,

but I don't want it to be.

Not anymore.

What are you gonna do?

Get "The Gazette" to hire me
to write for sports.

Maybe I could work
on my book.

So you're gonna be a writer.

Ah, maybe.

Carlton, he's not my fianc�.

I don't know why
I ever called him that.

Look...

I know that I'm gonna screw
things up every now and then,

and I know things
won't be perfect...

but if you give me
one chance...

I swear to God
I'll never hurt you again.

#Love is like a dying ember #

# And all the memories remain #

# Through the ages,
I'll remember #

# Blue eyes crying in the rain. #

Looks like a good day to fly.

No storm.

- You got your wallet?
- Got it.

Oh, yeah, almost forgot.

I don't know if you want this.

- Oh.
- I found that in the bathroom.

Yeah.
Thanks.

I don't know
if you'd be interested,

but maybe one of these days
you could come out there to Arizona.

We could do Christmas
or something.

I'd like that.

Maybe you could
come here for New Year's.

I'll be here.

I'll be here for New Year's.

I'll see you at Christmas then.

All right.

# I want you to be my love #

# I want you to be
my love #

# 'Neath the moon
and the stars above #

# I want you to be my love #

# Break a promise,
make a vow #

# I know you want me now #

# Like I want you #

# Like I want you #

# 'Cause I want you #

# 'Cause I want you #

# I know all you #

# All you've been through #

# Yeah. #
