CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
[ALARM BUZZES]
AAH!
OH!
MAKE A NOISE OR SOMETHING. DON'T DO THAT!
MY GOD.
SO, WHAT'S ON THE DOCKET FOR TODAY?
DADDY'S COMING OUT TO THE BARN.
HE WANTS TO MEET WITH ME AND HANK
ABOUT THIS GRAND PRIX.
WHAT FOR?
HE JUST LIKES TO GRIND US EVERY YEAR.
IT MAKES HIM FEEL IN CONTROL.
YEAH. YEAH. WHERE'S THE DOODLEBUG?
SHE BETTER BE GETTING DRESSED.
CAROLINE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
MOM, AM I GOING TO RIDE TODAY?
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL NIGHT?
SLEEPING. MOM, AM I GOING TO RIDE?
BABY, IF WE HAVE TIME.
NOW GO FINISH GETTING READY.
GO, GO, GO.
SHIT!
[TIRES SQUEAL]
I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME.
YOU DID IT AGAIN.
WE'LL FIND YOU A NEW MOTHER.
GOOD MORNING, GRACE.
HEY, DUB.
HARRY, TAKE THE TRAILER OVER TO MACK'S.
PICK UP JOE'S WHIMSY AROUND 4:30.
SHEILA WILL OVER AND HELP YOU.
YES, MA'AM.
AND TELL HANK BEFORE YOU GO
SO HE CAN BE HERE.
HEY, RAYMOND.
HEY.
GOOD BOY. GOOD BOY.
MORNING.
MORNING, MR. KING.
CAUGHT YOU.
ARE YOU TRYING TO BRIBE OLD POSSUM?
HI, GRAMPS.
IT WILL MAKE MISS LILY JEALOUS,
AND SHE'LL DUMP YOU OFF IN THE RING.
SAVE THE TREATS FOR THE HORSE YOU RIDE.
PLEASE LET ME.
I DON'T WANT TO RIDE A PONY.
I WANT TO RIDE A HORSE.
HANKS SAYS I'M BIG ENOUGH.
HONEY, HOLD ON A MINUTE.
FIRST, YOU CAN WIN ON MISS LILY,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO WIN ON MISS LILY.
SEE HOW STRONG MY LEGS ARE?
HONEY, I GOT TO PUT YOU DOWN.
HAVE MERCY ON AN OLD MAN.
NOW, LISTEN.
YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN TO RECOGNIZE YOUR LIMITATIONS.
GRAMPS, WHY? I'M READY.
I'VE BEEN PRACTICING. I KNOW I CAN DO IT.
HAVE YOU TAKEN THIS UP WITH YOUR MAMMA?
YOU THINK I'D BE BEGGING YOU
IF SHE TOLD ME YES?
JUST PUT ME ON THAT HORSE,
AND I'LL WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
AND HOW COME
EVERYBODY HAS TO TELL ME WHEN I'M READY?
I'M SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU.
I'M READY, AND I'M ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE
WITH YOU PEOPLE!
DON'T GET YOURSELF ALL WORKED UP.
HELP DUB. EARN YOUR KEEP HERE.
I GOT TO TALK TO YOUR MAMMA.
HEY, HANK. HOW'S IT GOING?
GREAT.
GOOD. GRACE NEEDS TO SEE YOU.
NOW?
I GOT TO SEE HER FOR A MINUTE.
AFTER THAT, ALL RIGHT?
YES, SIR.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
HI, DADDY.
ALL RIGHT.
HAVE A HEART
WENT ON THE MARKET LAST WEEK.
YOU KNOW THE ONE IN CALIFORNIA--
JAMIE JOHNSON'S HORSE?
HE WON THE HAMPTON CLASSIC.
I KNOW THE HORSE.
HOW MUCH IS HE ASKING?
OH, 150,000.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?
NOTHING.
JAMIE'S SELLING BECAUSE OF HIS DIVORCE.
ANYWAY, I BOUGHT HIM.
YOU DID WHAT?
I GOT A FEELING ABOUT HIM, GRACE.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE HIS YEAR.
HE'S GOT GRAND PRIX CHAMPION
WRITTEN ALL OVER HIM.
I'M GOING TO RIDE HIM.
BUT, DADDY, WITHOUT EVEN DISCUSSING IT WITH US?
THERE'S NOTHING TO DISCUSS.
WHAT ABOUT RANSOM? HANK IS--
MOM!
MOM, DUB SAID I COULD RIDE POSSUM.
NOT NOW. IN A MINUTE, SWEETIE.
RANSOM'S NOT READY.
I DON'T HAVE THE SAME FEELING ABOUT RANSOM.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO RIDE AGAINST HANK AND RANSOM?
WE WON'T ENTER RANSOM. HE CAN WAIT.
DADDY, HANK WILL QUIT.
WELL, THEN HERE'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY
FOR YOU TO UTILIZE YOUR PEOPLE SKILLS
TO MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T.
YOU HEAR ME? YOU UNDERSTAND?
YOU CAN'T DO THIS. IT'S NOT FAIR.
IT'S DONE. NOW ROLL WITH IT.
GODDAMN! SHIT! SON OF A BITCH!
YOU WATCH THAT MOUTH, NOW.
SHE CAN SEE YOU NOW, HANK.
OK.
WELL, THEN GODDAMN IT, I QUIT.
I DON'T NEED THIS SHIT.
I WISH THE SON OF A BITCH
WOULD DIE IN A FIERY CAR CRASH.
I KNOW, HANK. GET IN LINE.
JUST LISTEN.
NO, YOU LISTEN. I WON'T SIT BY
WHILE THE SON OF A BITCH RUINS MY CAREER.
THIS IS RANSOM'S YEAR.
MAYBE I CAN MAKE HIM SEE REASON.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!
HEY, GRACE. DADDY IN THERE?
NO.
WAIT UP.
I HAVE TO GO TO CHARITY LEAGUE.
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS, EMMA RAE?
ABOUT THIS HORSE THING?
THANKS FOR TELLING ME!
HEY, CHECK YOUR MACHINE, GRACE.
GRACE, WAIT!
[EMMA RAE HONKING HORN]
GRACE!
MOM!
GOD HELP ME.
Caroline: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!
AND NOW ON TO THE BUSINESS OF OUR CENTENNIAL COOKBOOK.
I KNOW WE ALL WANT THIS TO BE OUR BEST EVER.
I'LL ASK OUR COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN TO BRING US UP TO DATE.
Grace.
RIGHT. UH...
UH, DEADLINE FOR RECIPE SUBMISSIONS IS THE 2nd.
IF YOU WANT TO SUBSTITUTE VEGETABLE SHORTENING
WHEREVER IT SAYS BACON GREASE OR LARD,
NELL McGEHEE ASKED ME TO MENTION THAT
BECAUSE HER HUSBAND IS RECOVERING
FROM TRIPLE BYPASS RIGHT NOW.
UH, LUCY'S GOING TO TAKE OVER FOR ME
UNTIL AFTER THE GRAND PRIX,
AND THAT'S IT.
Names.
OH, RIGHT.
UH...
THE COMMITTEE THINKS THAT, UM...
WELL, WE'VE LOOKED AT A LOT OF OTHER COOKBOOKS.
WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN LISTED
WITH OUR MARRIED NAMES UNDER THE RECIPES,
AND FRANKLY, THE PRACTICE OF EXCLUDING OUR FIRST NAMES
LOOKS OUTDATED,
SO I THINK WE SHOULD JUST LIST OUR NAMES--
FIRST, MIDDLE, AND LAST-- AND THAT'S ALL.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE WAY IT WAS
LOOKED QUAINT.
IT DOESN'T LOOK QUAINT. IT LOOKS ANTIQUATED.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE TRADITIONS?
IF MY NAME ISN'T IN THERE AS MRS. FRANKLIN J. CALDWELL III,
THEN HOW THE HELL WILL ANYBODY KNOW WHO I AM?
BARBARANELLE CALDWELL-- WHO'S THAT?
I COULD BE HIS DAUGHTER.
YOU WISH.
SHUT UP, LORENE.
[TAPPING GLASS]
LADIES. LADIES.
THIS WON'T BE DECIDED ON TODAY,
SO IF THERE'S NO FURTHER BUSINESS,
THEN THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
THANK YOU.
HELL. I'M PROUD TO USE MY HUSBAND'S NAME.
I CONSIDER STILL BEING MARRIED TO THE OLD GOAT
ONE OF MY GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
YOU KNOW, YOUR MOTHER CALLED.
SHE WANTS TO CHANGE THE MENU
FOR THE GRAND PRIX PARTY.
WHY? EVERYBODY LOVES IT.
SHE WANTS SHRIMP.
SHE SAYS SHE'S SICK OF HAM AND BARBECUE.
THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR 35 YEARS.
I DON'T KNOW WHY IT SUDDENLY BOTHERS HER.
LET ME GIVE THIS PRECIOUS THING SOME LUNCH.
I HAVE TO TAKE HER TO MILLER'S
TO GET HER FITTED FOR A RIDING HABIT.
WONDERFUL. WHO WILL YOU RIDE?
POSSUM.
MISS LILY.
Woman: SEE YOU LATER, GRACE.
IS THIS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ALL MY TEETH?
WE'RE NOT GOING TO DISCUSS IT.
YOU HAVE TO WEAR THEM DOWN.
BYE, DARLING.
BYE.
WHY DO BUILDINGS HAVE STORIES?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHY DO THEY SAY 20 STORIES OR 50 STORIES HIGH?
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK THAT ONE UP.
HI.
HEY.
[HORN HONKS]
MOM, GREEN MEANS GO.
BICHON PARTNERS.
EDDIE BICHON'S OFFICE, PLEASE.
EDDIE BICHON'S OFFICE.
HELLO, JUNE. IT'S GRACE.
COULD I SPEAK TO EDDIE?
OH, HI, GRACE. HE'S NOT IN.
HE SAID HE'D BE IN A MEETING
FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON.
DID HE SAY WHERE?
NO, MA'AM.
IF HE CALLS IN, SHOULD HE CALL YOU?
UH, NO.
ALL RIGHT.
Emma Rae: THE HORSE IS PART OF THE DIVORCE SETTLEMENT.
DAD'S GOT HIM DOWN TO THE LOW TWOs.
[BEEP]
Eddie: DAD WANTS ME TO HAVE DINNER WITH CLIENTS.
I'LL BE HOME BY 11:00. KISS THE DOODLEBUG FOR ME.
[BEEP]
Eddie: HEY, GRACE, IT'S ME.
THIS MEETING TOOK LONGER THAN WE THOUGHT.
NOW DAD WANTS ME TO HAVE DINNER--
[CLICK]
LOOK. THAT'S DADDY'S CAR.
BABY, YOU WAIT HERE.
[LOUD MUSIC PLAYING]
HEY.
YOU'RE BUSTED, BUDDY.
HI, DADDY! HI!
GET BACK IN THE CAR.
JESUS CHRIST.
YOU GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE NOW.
EXCUSE ME A SECOND.
CALL 911.
GOOD LUCK.
[CLEARS THROAT]
GRACE, WHAT IS THAT, YOUR NIGHTGOWN?
HEY, DADDY. WE CAME TO GET YOU.
HI, TADPOLE. HOW ARE YOU DOING?
I'LL PUT YOU IN THE CAR, OK?
IT'S WAY PAST YOUR BEDTIME.
GET IN THE CAR, GRACE.
THERE YOU GO, SWEETHEART.
GET IN THE CAR.
NO!
WILL YOU PLEASE GET IN THE CAR?
YOU'RE MAKING A SPECTACLE OF YOURSELF.
NO. YOU ARE MAKING A SPECTACLE OF ME.
WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?
I SAW YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I SAW YOU AT THE CORNER OF 4th AND UNION.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
YOU WERE WITH A GIRL IN A RED SUIT.
THE SAME GIRL THAT'S RIGHT IN THERE.
HONEY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU THINK YOU SAW,
BUT THAT WAS NOT ME.
THAT'S IT? THAT'S ALL I GET?
YOU'RE GOING TO STAND HERE AND LIE TO ME
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET?
WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?
I--I...
I WANT YOU TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO CAROLINE.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
WHAT, HOME TO DADDY?
FUCK YOU, EDDIE.
KISS DADDY GOOD-BYE, ANGEL.
SEE YOU LATER, ALLIGATOR.
AFTER A WHILE, AL-- I MEANT CROCODILE.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
[STARTS ENGINE]
MOM...
IS DADDY IN TROUBLE?
YES, BABY, HE IS.
DON'T YOU WORRY, OK?
HE'S IN VERY BIG TROUBLE.
OH, LORD.
WELL, IT'S JUST AN UNHOLY MESS.
AND THE TIMING--
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS WHEELER FARM DEAL
WITH EDDIE AND HIS DAD.
IF YOU'RE EXPECTING LOYALTY FROM DADDY,
YOU CAN JUST FORGET IT.
I'M NOT.
BELIEVE ME, I'M NOT COMPLETELY DELUDED.
I ALWAYS WORRIED
SOMETHING LIKE THIS MIGHT HAPPEN.
WELL, IF YOU WERE SO GODDAMNED WORRIED,
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?
WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO SAY?
YOU MARRY A GUY WHOSE COLLEGE NICKNAME IS HOUND DOG,
WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?
OH, EMMA RAE,
DON'T YOU THINK I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT?
I'M OUT THERE ON THE GODDAMN STREET!
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? WHAT?
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.
YOU DID.
WELL, I'M PROUD OF YOU.
I'LL KILL THE SON OF A BITCH.
JAMIE, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE.
GRACE, YOU BETTER GET IT TOGETHER.
DADDY WILL BE HERE IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
AH, COME IN.
HEY, DADDY. HERE'S YOUR SCHEDULE.
WE GOT THE TROUTMAN AUCTION AT NOON.
I'M MEETING WITH MR. YOPP ABOUT THE FINANCING AT 4:00.
WHAT IN SAM HILL'S GOING ON HERE?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOU WANT TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS,
YOU'LL HAVE TO LEARN TO LIE
A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN THAT.
HEY, DADDY.
[WHISPERS]
ALL RIGHT.
I'M GOING TO GO SEE ABOUT SOME STUFF.
IN YOUR GODDAMN NIGHTGOWN--
IS THAT PART TRUE?
DADDY.
IS THIS HOW YOU BEHAVE IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILD?
WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU?
YOU THINK YOU'RE INVISIBLE?
WE'RE HAVING SOME PROBLEMS.
HE WASN'T IN HIS GODDAMN UNDERWEAR, WAS HE?
NO. I-I-I MEAN--
HOW DOES RUNNING AROUND NAKED SOLVE ANYTHING?
YOU TRYING TO HUMILIATE YOUR WHOLE DAMN FAMILY?
MY, GOD.
HER HEART MUST BE IN A MILLION LITTLE PIECES.
NO. HER PRIDE.
AND FOR GOD SAKES, DON'T GET MAUDLIN.
IT'S JUST SO AWFUL.
I CAN'T BELIEVE EDDIE WOULD DO THAT.
I KNOW.
WHAT COULD HE HAVE BEEN THINKING OF?
PROBABLY SAME THING HE WAS THINKING WITH.
DON'T BE VULGAR, EMMA RAE.
ARE SPOONS ON THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT?
All: ON THE RIGHT.
I'M GOING TO HEAD BACK.
SHE'S PROBABLY HAD ABOUT ALL SHE CAN TAKE.
YOU GOT HER ALL SQUARED AWAY?
YEAH. SHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
SHE TELL YOU WHAT WAS GOING ON?
JUST A FIGHT.
EDDIE'S FUCKING SOMEBODY ELSE.
THAT FOR SURE?
YEP.
OK. SEE YOU AT NOON.
OK.
HI, HONEY.
I JUST THOUGHT WE COULD GET CAUGHT UP
ON THESE BOOKS BEFORE IT GETS ANY CRAZIER AROUND HERE.
MOTHER, PLEASE. NOW'S NOT A GOOD TIME.
JUST GIVE ME THE RECEIPTS,
AND I'LL ENTER EVERYTHING.
MOM.
HONEY, HE SLIPPED.
MOTHER, PLEASE,
I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS WITH YOU.
THIS HAPPENS IN THE BEST OF MARRIAGES,
AND IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU.
HONEY, YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER
WHO'S CRAZY ABOUT HER FATHER,
AND HE'S CRAZY ABOUT HER, GOD KNOWS.
NOW, HE SLIPPED, AND CRAZY AS IT SEEMS,
IT'S UP TO YOU TO HELP HIM UP.
I DON'T BELIEVE I'M HEARING THIS.
AND, HONEY, YOU'VE GONE ABOUT THIS
IN A WAY THAT'S GOING TO HAVE EVERYBODY TALKING.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT. YOU JUST LET THEM TALK.
BUT AFTER THIS...
FROM NOW ON, LET'S MAKE IT A PRIVATE FAMILY AFFAIR.
AND IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING,
YOU JUST COME AND TALK TO YOUR MAMMA, OK?
WE CAN DO THESE BOOKS ANOTHER TIME.
I LOVE YOU, HONEY.
EDDIE'S COMING.
WHAT?
DADDY MUST HAVE CALLED HIM. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
KEEP HIM BUSY.
OK.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
HI.
IS SHE HERE?
YEAH.
OOH!
I'LL GET HER.
[GROANING]
GRACE, THE LYING, CHEATING
SACK OF SHIT IS HERE.
CAN'T BREA...
OH, MY GOD.
EMMA RAE, WHAT DID YOU DO?
YOU SAID KEEP HIM BUSY.
HE'S BUSY HOLDING HIS NUTS.
OH, MY GOD. EDDIE, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
NO...
HELP ME GET HIM UP.
NO. STAY THE HELL OVER THERE.
I WOULDN'T WALK THAT FAR TO HELP YOU UP.
GOD, EMMA RAE. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
CONSIDER IT A BLOW FOR YOUR DIGNITY.
WHAT'S DIGNIFIED ABOUT KICKING SOMEBODY IN THE BALLS?
WELL, I FEEL BETTER.
[DOOR CLOSES]
GRACE, LOOK. I KNOW--
NO, YOU DON'T KNOW.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE LIED TO,
AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO SIT WITH YOUR CHILD
WHILE YOUR HUSBAND'S MAKING OUT ON THE STREET
AND TO BE MADE A BIG, FAT FOOL OF,
SO PLEASE DON'T START WITH "I KNOW,"
BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW!
WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY
IS THAT I KNOW I'M 100% IN THE WRONG HERE,
AND I DON'T BLAME YOU FOR BEING MAD.
WHAT A COMFORT.
I DON'T WANT THIS.
I DON'T WANT TO BE THIS PERSON, THIS WIFE, UNDERSTAND?
I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT. WHAT IF CAROLINE HAD SEEN YOU?
DO YOU KNOW HOW CLOSE SHE CAME?
I'M SORRY.
I REALLY DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE SORRY.
I CAN'T JUST LET IT GO, EDDIE.
I WANT YOU TO LEAVE.
DON'T I GET TO SAY ANYTHING?
I'D REALLY RATHER YOU DIDN'T.
WELL, WHERE IS THE DOODLEBUG?
SHE'S NOT HERE. SHE'S WITH MOTHER.
YOU CANNOT STOP ME FROM SEEING HER, GRACE.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE COMING OVER.
SHE'S AT AUNT RAE'S. GO OVER THERE.
I DARE YOU.
WILL YOU TELL HER THAT I LOVE HER?
WHATEVER THAT MEANS.
OH, JEEZ.
[SIGHS]
EM.
EMMA RAE!
ARE YOU ADDRESSING ME?
YES.
WELL, LICK IT, PUT A STAMP ON IT,
AND MAIL IT TO SOMEONE WHO GIVES A SHIT.
OK. JUST TROT-HITCH. WARM UP.
HEY, SWEETIE PLUM.
HEY.
HEY, POSSUM!
KEEP YOUR MIND ON MISS LILY.
SHE DRIVING YOU CRAZY OVER POSSUM?
NOPE.
KEEP HER IN A TROT.
LOOKING GOOD, SWEETIE.
BORING.
SLOW HER JUST A TAD.
HEY, BUDDY.
HANK, LOOK, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY
TO TALK TO DADDY ABOUT THIS,
BUT YOU'VE JUST GOT TO KNOW THAT IF IT WAS UP TO ME--
BUT IT'S NOT, IS IT?
I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE BEFORE THE EVENT,
SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT,
BUT WHEN IT'S OVER, I'M GONE, OK?
Jamie: ALL RIGHT!
THAT'S A GOOD DECISION.
THAT'S IT.
THERE'S ONE.
YEAH. THAT'S GOOD. NOW, SEE YOUR DISTANCE.
JUST RIDE HIM INTO THE BASE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING?
HERE WE GO.
MISSED IT.
IT WAS RIGHT THERE.
JUST COME BACK AND MAKE HIM JUMP THE JUMP.
SON, PIPE DOWN AND LET ME GET THE FEEL OF HIM.
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE YOU WERE IN SHORT PANTS.
HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING...
more than you do, you son of a bitch.
HEY, GRACE!
OOPS.
I FEEL FOR YOU, BUDDY.
AMEN.
WHERE'S MY BABY? WHERE'S CAROLINE?
AT SCHOOL.
SHE MUST BE MISSING HER DADDY PRETTY GOOD BY NOW.
YES, I'M SURE SHE IS.
YOU'RE AWARE THAT WE'RE INVOLVED
IN A REAL-ESTATE DEAL WITH EDDIE AND HIS DAD.
EMMA RAE MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THAT TO YOU AT ALL?
YES, DADDY. I'M AWARE OF IT--
THE WHEELER FARM PROJECT.
I'M VERY AWARE OF IT.
SO YOU KNOW HOW UNCOMFORTABLE IT MAKES ALL OF US
FOR YOU AND EDDIE TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS
IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT COULD BE
A VERY LUCRATIVE SITUATION FOR EVERYONE?
YES.
NOW, I TALKED TO EDDIE AGAIN LAST NIGHT.
HE WANTS TO MAKE AMENDS.
HE'S WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES
TO WORK THIS THING OUT.
THE MARRIAGE OR THE DEAL?
DON'T YOU GET SMART WITH ME.
IT'S A LEGITIMATE QUESTION.
I'M TALKING TO YOUR SISTER.
I KNOW.
I'M JUST FOLLOWING ALONG FOR THE HELL OF IT.
NOW, LISTEN, HONEY.
I'M NOT SAYING HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG.
HE KNOWS HE HAS.
BUT HE'S A GOOD FATHER AND A GOOD PROVIDER.
THAT'S NOT SO EASY TO COME BY.
THEN YOU MARRY HIM.
NOW, LOOK, CHILD.
PEOPLE HAVE SURVIVED WORSE TRAGEDIES THAN THIS.
YOU'RE A GROWN WOMAN WITH RESPONSIBILITIES,
AND YOU ARE TOO OLD TO COME RUNNING HOME.
YOU CAN'T WORK THINGS OUT, THAT'S ONE THING,
BUT YOU HAVEN'T TRIED, AND THAT I WON'T HAVE.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?
I THINK SO. AHEM.
YOU'RE TELLING ME
THAT IF I JUST EAT SHIT POLITELY
WITH A KNIFE AND FORK
AND JUST LEARN TO SWALLOW
THE HANDFULS OF BULLSHIT THAT HE SERVES UP TO ME,
THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE JUST A-OK.
IS THAT IT, DADDY?
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
I MEAN, ISN'T IT?
GRACE, HONEY.
NICE GOING, DADDY.
YOU HANDLED THAT LIKE A REAL PRO.
YOU BETTER WATCH OUT.
I'VE JUST ABOUT HAD IT WITH YOU.
ALL OUR FRIENDS COMPLAIN
ABOUT HOW THEIR KIDS GROW UP AND GO OFF
AND THEY NEVER HEAR FROM THEM ANYMORE.
WHY IN THE HELL CAN'T THAT HAPPEN TO US?
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES.
I'M JUST...SO...
WHAT DID I DO?
I WAS GOING TO BE A GODDAMN LARGE-ANIMAL VET.
I ONLY HAD A YEAR TO GO.
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME?
WHAT'S THAT?
THE CHI O SADIE HAWKINS DANCE.
THAT'S RIGHT. SADIE HAWKINS.
EXHIBIT "A."
YOU ASKED HIM.
SO? WHAT'S YOUR POINT?
MY POINT IS THAT NONE OF THIS
JUST HAPPENED TO YOU, GRACE.
LET'S FACE IT.
YOU WEREN'T JUST HIT BY A TRUCK.
I HAVE TO GO.
I HAVE A CHARITY LEAGUE MEETING.
ANOTHER PERFECT CASE IN POINT.
EMMA RAE, I HAVE A COOKBOOK TO PUT OUT,
AND I HAVE A DAUGHTER TO RAISE.
AND THE GODDAMN WINTER GRAND PRIX.
I DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR THE NERVOUS BREAKDOWN I DESERVE.
SO PLEASE DON'T ASK ME TO STOP AND THINK.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE RIGHT, GRACE.
FORGET IT.
I ONLY ASKED HIM BECAUSE HE WAS A GOOD DANCER.
SHOOT.
OH, GRACE. OH, WAIT.
CAN I TALK TO YOU A MINUTE?
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CALL YOU.
WHAT IS IT?
WELL, I HEARD THAT YOU LEFT EDDIE.
WELL, LORENE, YOU KNOW--
OH, GRACE.
NOW, YOU WOULD TELL ME, WOULDN'T YOU,
IF THERE WAS ANYTHING AT ALL
THAT HAD TO DO WITH ME?
OF COURSE.
OF COURSE I WOULD.
I'M SO RELIEVED. I KNEW YOU WOULD.
AHEM.
WELL, YOU KNOW HOW EDDIE AND TUFFY
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SO COMPETITIVE AND EVERYTHING.
WELL, I WAS HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME WITH TUFFY,
AND HE JUST WOULDN'T STAY PUT, YOU KNOW?
WELL, ANYWAY...
NOTHING SPARKS A MAN'S INTEREST
BETTER THAN A LITTLE COMPETITION.
REALLY?
AND THAT'S ALL IT WAS, REALLY.
IT WAS JUST... NOTHING.
REALLY.
IF ANYONE WANTS TO VOLUNTEER FOR THE CHRISTMAS BAZAAR,
EITHER SIGN UP TONIGHT
OR CALL ME BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE?
YES, LUCY?
OK, IF EVERYBODY WOULD PLEASE COMMIT
TO SELL AT LEAST 10 RAFFLE TICKETS,
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
OH, GOD. HAVE YOU SOLD ANY?
CALL ME OR EDNA.
THANK YOU.
AND GRACE.
YES. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYBODY ELSE HERE
HAS FUCKED MY HUSBAND.
LORENE TOLD ME HOW KIND HE WAS TO HELP HER OUT
BY SLEEPING WITH HER TO MAKE TUFFY STRAIGHTEN UP.
I WAS JUST WONDERING
IF THIS IS A REGULAR SERVICE
HE PROVIDES TO ALL MY FRIENDS.
GRACE, HONEY,
I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE--
I KNOW THAT, NORMA. IT'S ALSO NOT APPROPRIATE
FOR ME TO TELL YOU YOUR HUSBAND
KEEPS HALF THE HOOKERS IN TOWN IN HIGH HEELS.
SO IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO, FOR ANY REASON,
HAS HAD ANY KIND OF SEX WITH MY GODDAMN HUSBAND,
I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW.
GRACE, HONEY, YOU'RE LOSING IT.
NO. OK.
OK. I'LL START.
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
SIT DOWN, HONEY. THIS IS GETTING GOOD.
KITTY, DID YOU KNOW BILL HAD AN AFFAIR
WITH DR. DAVENPORT'S DENTAL HYGIENIST?
THAT'S NOT TRUE!
AND, ELEANOR...
ELEANOR, YOU SLEPT WITH GEORGE MacMURRAY IN ANTIGUA,
BECAUSE LUCY TOLD ME.
Lucy: GRACE, THAT'S ENOUGH.
I WON'T DIGNIFY THIS WITH MY PRESENCE.
DON'T LEAVE.
SHOULDN'T WE JUST BE HONEST WITH EACH OTHER?
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MY FRIENDS.
IF FRIENDS WON'T TELL THE TRUTH, WHO WILL?
I MEAN, WHO DO WE THINK WE'RE KIDDING?
[SHOUTING AND ARGUING]
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! I WANT TO BE BY MYSELF!
[CHILD CRYING]
I'M TELLING YOU, IT WAS THE BEST MEETING IN YEARS.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
Eddie: JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, GRACE?
YOU JUST ABOUT BUSTED UP EVERY MARRIAGE WE KNOW.
I'M SURE YOU CAN HELP THEM OUT.
YOU'RE A GOOD SAMARITAN.
OH, COME ON, GRACE. WE CAN'T DO THIS.
NOW, LOOK.
CAN WE JUST GET SOME HELP OR SOMETHING?
GEORGE AND TRUDY WENT THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
THEY GOT SOME HELP. THEY WORKED IT OUT.
TRUDY'S ON PROZAC, EDDIE.
OH.
DON'T WE KNOW ANY NORMAL PEOPLE
THAT WE CAN TALK TO?
NO ONE SPRINGS TO MIND.
ALL RIGHT, GRACE.
WHAT?
DO YOU WANT A DIVORCE?
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU SAY.
A DIVORCE?
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
[SIGH]
NO. DO YOU WANT TO GO INTO THERAPY?
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
THAT'S WHY I'M CALLING.
I DON'T KNOW.
YOU WANT AN ANSWER THIS MINUTE?
YOU CALL THE SHOTS, GRACE.
TV: YOU MAY THINK YOU'RE PRETTY HIGH AND MIGHTY, TRUMBULL,
BUT LET ME TELL YOU THIS--
IF I LIVE LONG ENOUGH, AND I WILL,
I'M GOING TO PULL YOU DOWN OFF THAT FANCY HORSE OF YOURS
AND SHOVE YOUR FACE IN THE MUCK...
SO HELP ME.
[ARGUING]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
TV: BETTER GO, TRUMBULL.
HEY, JAMIE.
IS GRACE HERE?
YEAH, SHE IS.
CAN I SPEAK TO YOU FOR A SECOND?
DOODLEBUG, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
SLEEP.
WELL, IT'S LATE. COME ON BACK TO BED.
I JUST WANT TO SLEEP HERE.
YOU CAN SEE POSSUM FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
PLEASE LET ME STAY. I WANT TO STAY HERE.
YOU'RE GETTING TOO BIG FOR ME TO BE DRAGGING AROUND.
PLEASE?
SAY GOOD NIGHT TO POSSUM.
MOM?
YEAH, BABY?
ARE YOU GOING TO GET A DIVORCE?
OH, HONEY.
MY SWEETIE.
DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING, OK?
PLEASE DON'T WORRY.
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE OK.
ALL RIGHT?
I'LL WORK EVERYTHING OUT.
OK?
IS SHE OK?
YEAH.
GOD, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SHE WAS OUT.
I'M GOING TO HIT THE HAY. GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
COME ON. LET'S GO.
SHE COMES DOWN EVERY NIGHT AND VISITS POSSUM.
GOD, SHE'S WORSE THAN I WAS.
SHE'S A GREAT KID.
I WOULDN'T TALK ON THAT SPEAKERPHONE ANYMORE, THOUGH.
OH, JEEZ, I'M UNFIT.
NO, YOU'RE NOT.
JUST GOING THROUGH ALL THIS SHIT
THAT MAKES YOU CRAZY.
HOW LONG WERE YOU TWO TOGETHER?
10 YEARS.
DID YOU FIND YOU LOST YOUR ABILITY
TO THINK RATIONALLY?
WELL, I'M HERE BECAUSE OF A CUSTODY BATTLE
OVER A HORSE.
DOES THAT TELL YOU ANYTHING?
I THINK NEXT TIME,
I'D RATHER JUST GET SHOT.
WELL, DON'T SUGAR-COAT IT ON MY ACCOUNT.
WHAT? DO I SOUND BITTER?
OH, NO. NOT AT ALL.
HOW DO YOU LIKE LIVING IN CALIFORNIA?
IT'S GREAT IF YOU LIKE NATURAL DISASTERS.
MY LIFE'S A NATURAL DISASTER.
ARE YOU STILL UP?
NOT TECHNICALLY.
GOD, THAT GUY IS SO NICE.
YEAH, HE IS.
I WANT TO HAVE HIM OVER FOR DINNER SOMETIME.
DO YOU THINK THAT'D BE TOO WEIRD?
WHY WOULD IT BE WEIRD?
I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW?
YOU HAVE PEOPLE OVER FOR DINNER ALL THE TIME.
YOU'RE THE WORLD'S GREATEST HOSTESS,
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
WHAT ARE YOU GETTING ALL SHY ABOUT?
I-I'M NOT.
WELL, I THINK YOU SHOULD GIVE HIM A CALL
AND ASK HIM WHAT HE LIKES TO EAT.
IF HE SAYS "PUSSY," TELL HIM TO COME OVER.
GODDAMN, EMMA RAE. YOU ARE SO VILE.
WELL, DO SOMETHING, WILL YOU?
DO SOMETHING DRASTIC.
YEAH, LIKE I HAVEN'T ALREADY.
OH.
WELL, I'M GOING TO BED.
GOOD NIGHT.
EMMA RAE?
MM-HMM?
I KNOW YOU'RE DISAPPOINTED IN ME.
NO.
NO. FOR YOU, SWEETIE, NOT IN YOU.
WELL, WILL YOU TAKE SOME ADVICE
FROM A LITTLE OLD LADY?
YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE THIS BULL BY THE HORNS,
SO TO SPEAK.
ARE YOU GOING TO SEE HIM?
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO TALK TONIGHT.
WHERE?
HOUSTON'S.
OH, NO. NOW, SEE?
HE WANTS TO GO SOMEWHERE
WHERE HE THINKS YOU WON'T MAKE A SCENE,
ALTHOUGH HE KNOWS THERE IS NO SUCH PLACE.
NO. YOU MEET HIM AT HOME.
AND IF I WERE YOU...
WHAT?
I'D...
WHAT?
I'D MAKE HIM SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR HIS SUPPER.
OH, AUNT RAE,
I THINK IT'S A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT.
I'LL SAY IT AGAIN--
MAKE HIM SOMETHING SPECIAL
THAT HE WON'T FORGET EVER.
HERE. MAKE HIM THAT.
"POACHED SALMON WITH MINT MUSTARD SAUCE."
"OLIVE OIL--
1/8 TEASPOON..."
OH, MY GOD. BUT THIS IS--
IT'S NOT LETHAL IN THAT SMALL DOSE.
IT WILL, HOWEVER,
MAKE HIM AS SICK AS THE DOG HE IS.
OF COURSE, YOU HAVE TO TELL HIM YOU'VE DONE IT.
I ALWAYS TOLD LLOYD
IF HE WAS GOING TO HIT ME WHERE I LIVED,
HE COULD EXPECT THE SAME.
I JUST THINK OF IT AS HOMEOPATHIC AVERSION THERAPY.
BUT THIS IS--
SOMETIMES A LITTLE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
HELPS THEM PUT THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.
YES, MA'AM.
SUGAR?
NO, THANKS.
[SNIFF]
WHO IS THAT GRAMPS IS ON THERE?
OH, THAT'S PRIDE'S SOLDIER BOY.
THAT'S THE YEAR HE WON THE UPPERVILLE GRAND PRIX.
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THAT WHEN GRAMPS RIDES?
DO WHAT, HONEY?
STAND UP AND GIVE THAT LITTLE WAVE.
OH, THAT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT HAPPENS.
FIRST TIME HE JUST CAME IN THERE,
HE WAS LOOKING SO HANDSOME
I JUST STOOD RIGHT UP.
THEN IT GOT TO BE KIND OF A TRADITION.
AAH! OH, GOD!
HI.
WHAT ARE YOU MAKING?
SALMON WITH MINT MUSTARD SAUCE.
SALMON WITH MINT MUSTARD SAUCE?
AUNT RAE GAVE ME THE RECIPE.
SHE ASSURES ME IT'S UNFORGETTABLE.
WELL, EVERYTHING YOU MAKE IS UNFORGETTABLE.
EDDIE, PLEASE.
DON'T START TRYING TO CHARM ME RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
I WAS JUST-- HEY, UH, WANT A DRINK?
I'M GOING TO GET A DRINK.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING.
WHAT? THIS?
OH. OH, YES, YOU DO.
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS.
THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF MY PUNISHMENT.
I DIDN'T COME HERE TO FIGHT, EDDIE, OK?
YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO TALK, SO TALK.
[GRINDING]
[TURNS OFF FOOD PROCESSOR]
I WASN'T EVEN GOING TO DO THIS.
I WASN'T EVEN GOING TO GET MARRIED.
HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE TO HEAR THIS?
"I WAS GOING TO BE A LARGE-ANIMAL VET."
THAT'S RIGHT.
WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU?
BECAUSE, EDDIE, I GOT PREGNANT, REMEMBER?
GRACE, NOBODY MADE YOU QUIT.
IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO MARRY, WHY DID YOU?
WHY'D YOU ASK ME?
YOU HAVEN'T STOPPED DATING YET.
HONESTLY, GRACE, I--
I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D SAY YES.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
THAT DIDN'T COME OUT RIGHT.
GRACE, THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT.
NO. I WANTED TO KNOW.
DO YOU THINK THIS IS WHAT I WANTED?
LIKE I HAD IT PLANNED?
PLAN? WHAT PLAN?
THE WAY YOU TELL IT, YOU JUST GAMBLED AND LOST.
NO. THAT'S THE WAY YOU TELL IT.
I MEAN, I MISS CAROLINE.
YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT.
DID YOU THINK ABOUT HER?
TELL ME SOMETHING, EDDIE.
WHAT EXACTLY GOES THROUGH YOUR MIND
AS YOU'RE SLIPPING IT IN?
WILL YOU STOP IT?
STOP IT.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS,
BUT THIS DOESN'T EXACTLY MAKE ME HAPPY, EITHER.
OH, JESUS CHRIST, EDDIE. GIVE ME A BREAK.
AT LEAST THEY DON'T TENSE UP
WHEN I TOUCH THEM...
AND STIFFEN UP.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOU KNOW WHAT. YOU NEVER TOUCH ME.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU LAID A HAND ON ME?
THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
IT IS, TOO, THE GODDAMN POINT!
IF YOU KISSED ME THE WAY YOU KISSED THAT GIRL,
I'D BE MORE INCLINED...
TO WHAT?
TO....
TO WHAT, GRACE?
YOU CAN'T EVEN SAY IT ANYMORE.
DON'T YOU LAY THAT ON ME.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME.
I HAVE ORGASMS EVERY DAY.
I'M JUST USED TO HAVING WHEN YOU'RE NOT IN THE ROOM.
OH, THAT'S JUST GREAT!
THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT, GRACE.
W-WHAT-- WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE?
PLEASE.
HOW DID WE GET THIS FAR GONE, HUH?
WHAT HAPPENED TO US?
THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WANTING TO KNOW
FOR A LONG TIME.
IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME,
I WISH YOU'D GO AHEAD AND SAY SO.
I KNOW I'M A DISAPPOINTMENT.
I'M A DISAPPOINTMENT TO MYSELF.
YOU THINK THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO BE?
I'VE DONE EXACTLY WHAT'S EXPECTED OF ME ALL MY LIFE.
I WORK FOR MY FATHER, FOR GOD'S SAKES.
SO DO YOU.
WE BOTH TURNED INTO WHAT WE SWORE WE'D NEVER BECOME.
I MEAN, WE USED TO LIKE EACH OTHER.
WE USED TO MAKE EACH OTHER LAUGH.
IT USED TO BE SO EASY.
YOU KNOW, WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO SUNDAY UNDER THE COVERS...
AND DANCING IN THE DEN
AFTER CAROLINE HAD GONE TO BED,
MAKING LOVE AFTER TWO HOURS' SLEEP?
AND WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YOU WANTING ME?
I MEAN, GRACE, YOU KNOW ME.
I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE GUYS.
I'M A DECENT PERSON.
YOU KNOW ME.
I'M THE GUY THAT YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH.
YOU KNOW ME.
YEAH. OH, EDDIE.
[CLEARS THROAT]
OH. OH, EDDIE, I'VE DONE SOMETHING SO WRONG.
I WAS TRYING--
YOU FORGET ABOUT IT. IT'S OK.
NO. IT'S NOT OK.
I THINK, UH...
[CLEARS THROAT]
I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD, HONEY.
WE SHOULD TAKE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL, I THINK.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE FISH.
THERE'S WHAT?
IN THE FISH, HONEY.
[VOMITING]
OH, MY GOD!
[VOMITING CONTINUES]
WH-WHICH HOSPITAL, HONEY?
WE'RE ALMOST THERE. WE'RE ALMOST THERE.
OH, GOD!
[VOMITING]
I'M SO SORRY.
OH, MY GOD.
LOOK AT YOU.
IS HE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT?
OH, HONEY, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOU.
I MEAN, HOW COULD YOU LISTEN TO THAT SILLY OLD WOMAN?
COME ON, NOW.
WE'LL GO GET YOU CLEANED UP A LITTLE BIT.
THIS IS TERRIBLE.
WE'LL GO TO THAT BATHROOM THERE.
MOTHER--
DON'T YOU "MOTHER" ME, CHILD.
YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE MESS.
YES, YES, I'M A MESS. LOOK AT ME.
I'M AN OUTRAGE. A DISGRACE, A FAILURE.
DON'T EVER SAY THAT. YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE.
YES, I AM. I HATE MYSELF.
I HATE MY LIFE. I IGNORE MY HUSBAND.
I DRIVE AWAY AND FORGET MY CHILD.
I FAILED AT ALL OF IT, MOTHER--
EDDIE, MYSELF, EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING!
HONEY, NOW, NOW, LISTEN.
GRACE, YOU HAVE TO GET A GRIP ON YOURSELF.
THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT YOU.
YOU HAVE YOUR DAUGHTER TO THINK OF. WHAT DOES--
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT HER TO SEE?
IS IT?
HONEY, HONEY, HEY.
I KNOW YOU DON'T THINK I UNDERSTAND,
BUT I HAVE HAD MY TROUBLES, TOO.
A LONG TIME AGO AND I NEVER WANTED TO SAY ANYTHING,
BUT I DID WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT IF YOU AND YOUR SISTER EVER FOUND OUT,
YOU'D BE PROUD OF THE WAY I HANDLED MYSELF.
PROUD? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE PROUD
THAT YOU WERE OBLIVIOUS
TO WHAT WAS GOING ON IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE?
THERE WAS NOTHING GOING ON IN FRONT OF MY FACE.
MOM, PLEASE. YOU WERE RIGHT THERE.
MRS. PRITCHETT-- ANNIE PRITCHETT--
ARE YOU GOING TO STAND THERE AND TELL ME YOU DIDN'T KNOW?
AT LEAST CAROLINE WILL SEE
THAT I DIDN'T JUST SIT BACK AND IGNORE IT.
MOM, WAIT.
GET A LAWYER.
[RAPS KNOCKER]
MOTHER, SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH THIS GODDAMN DOOR!
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DOOR.
AND DON'T CALL ME "MOTHER"!
WELL, THEN OPEN THE GODDAMN THING.
OH, YOU GO TO HELL!
GEORGIA, WHAT'S GOING ON? OPEN THE DOOR.
WHY DON'T YOU GO RAP ON ANNIE PRITCHETT'S DOOR?
WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
HAVE YOU GOTTEN INTO THE APPLE WINE?
I AM TALKING ABOUT YOUR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES!
I AM TALKING ABOUT
YOUR LYING, CHEATING EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES!
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE. I DO NOT CHEAT!
I MAY HAVE FOOLED AROUND, BUT I NEVER CHEATED!
WYLY, HOW COULD YOU DO IT?
I MEAN, SHE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE.
AND DON'T THINK
THAT THERE WEREN'T TIMES WHEN I HAD THOUGHTS, TOO,
BECAUSE THERE WERE.
BUT NEVER ONCE, NOT ONCE,
OUT OF MY RESPECT FOR YOU AND OUR MARRIAGE--
WHAT THOUGHTS?
FRANK LEWIS.
WHO?
DR. LEWIS.
DO YOU KNOW THAT AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS
HE STILL HAS FEELINGS FOR ME?
WYLY, HE SAID THAT I HAVE BEAUTIFUL HIPS.
WELL, HONEY, I WOULDN'T HANG ANY HOPES
ON SOMETHING SOMEBODY SAID 40 YEARS AGO.
LAST WEEK HE SAID IT!
WHEN I TOOK AUNT RAE IN, I HAD MY YEARLY PHYSICAL.
HE SAID IT LAST WEEK!
NOW, THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT!
GODDAMN IT! OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR!
I WON'T TOLERATE THIS KIND OF DISRESPECT!
DON'T YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT DISRESPECT,
YOU SELF-CENTERED OLD GOAT!
SELF-CENTERED! HAVEN'T I GIVEN YOU
EVERY GODDAMN THING YOU EVER WANTED?
YOU THINK YOU'D HAVE HAD THIS LIFE WITH FRANK LEWIS?
THE LIFE I WOULD HAVE WITH FRANK LEWIS
WOULD HAVE INCLUDED RESPECT.
MY OWN DAUGHTERS ARE ASHAMED OF ME.
I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING--
I AM ASHAMED OF YOU.
WHY?
YOU ARE A HUMILIATION!
OUR LITTLE GIRL'S LIFE IS FALLING APART,
AND YOU TELL HER IT'S BAD FOR BUSINESS!
YOU ARE A DISGRACE!
YOU DRINK TOO MUCH,
AND YOU LAUGH TOO LOUD AT YOUR OWN JOKES,
AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING--
WYLY, YOU FART IN YOUR SLEEP!
YOU DO.
I HAVE PUT UP WITH ALL OF THAT
BECAUSE IT WAS PART OF YOU AND I LOVED YOU
AND I WAS PROUD TO BE YOUR WIFE,
BUT I'M NOT PROUD ANYMORE!
AND IF YOU ATTEMPT TO WALK ACROSS THIS THRESHOLD,
I AM GOING TO CALL DOWN TO THE BARN,
AND I'M GOING TO HAVE THOSE BOYS
THROW YOU OUT ON YOUR ASS!
WHEW.
[KNOCK KNOCK]
YOU MISSED A GOOD TIME,
THOUGH I HEAR YOU HAD QUITE A PARTY YOURSELF.
MAMMA, I'M SO SORRY.
AFTER 38 YEARS,
A LITTLE BREAK WOULD DO US ALL SOME GOOD.
IS HE STILL ROAMING AROUND THE YARD?
Grace: YEAH.
WHY CAN'T HE JUST GO TO A MOTEL?
IT'S A TERRITORIAL THING, MAMMA.
HE'S PROBABLY OUT THERE PISSING ON TREES.
HA HA HA!
IT'S NOT FAIR, POSSUM.
BUT NEXT YEAR, I PROMISE.
OH, I WISH I COULD HELP YOU, GRACE.
ME, TOO.
I CAN GET YOU DRUNK.
OK.
IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES.
SOUNDS BETTER THAN NOBODY CARES ANYMORE
AND WE WANT IT OVER WITH.
THAT SUMS IT UP.
WHAT WOULD SHE SAY?
SHE WOULD SAY THAT I WAS CHEATING ON HER.
WERE YOU?
ARE YOU SEEING ANYBODY NOW?
NO. ABSOLUTELY NO.
IT'S NOT AS MUCH FUN
WHEN YOUR MARRIAGE IS BANGING ON THE ROCKS.
SPEAKING OF WHICH...
IT NEVER WAS MUCH FUN.
DOES SHE DRINK?
NO.
DOESN'T DRINK ALCOHOL AT ALL?
WELL, A GLASS OF WINE SOMETIMES.
THEN SHE DRINKS.
HEY, JACK, DON'T WRITE THAT DOWN.
GRACE IS NOT A DRINKER.
WAS SHE DRINKING WHEN SHE MADE
THE ATTEMPT ON YOUR LIFE?
THAT WAS AN ATTEMPT-- AHEM--ON MY OTHER LIFE.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER?
HOW'S SHE FEEL ABOUT SEEING YOU EVERY OTHER WEEKEND?
GRACE WOULDN'T DO THAT TO CAROLINE.
YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE.
SHE'LL USE THAT KID--
YOU DON'T KNOW HER.
WAKE UP, EDDIE.
DIVORCES DON'T HAPPEN IN CHURCH.
NO GUTS, NO GLORY.
YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
YEAH.
I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, JACK.
UH...
I'M...
THIS IS A BIG MISTAKE. I'M SORRY.
I WASTED YOUR TIME.
I'M SORRY.
[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]
JUST ACT LIKE I SAID SOMETHING SO FUNNY,
YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE.
I'LL JUST SIT HERE
LIKE I'M WAITING TO ZING ANOTHER ONE IN THERE.
WHAT'S SO FUNNY?
I JUST HAVE THAT EFFECT ON PEOPLE.
LISTEN, GRACE, CAN YOU GET A RIDE HOME?
I GOT IT.
THANKS.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
HAVE FUN.
OH, BOY. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT I'VE HAD AS MUCH FUN AS I CAN STAND.
WHAT DO YOU SAY WE HEAD ON OUT?
OK?
Radio: * HEARTACHE ON HEARTACHE *
* WILL NEVER ERASE *
* AWAITING REDEMPTION *
* PRAYING FOR FATE *
WAS THIS WHERE YOU WANTED TO GO?
NO.
WELL...WHERE DID YOU WANT TO GO?
I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T REALLY FEEL LIKE GOING HOME YET.
WELL...
I'D INVITE YOU TO MY PLACE FOR A NIGHTCAP--
OK.
WOW.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN IN HERE.
I WASN'T EXPECTING COMPANY.
EVERYTHING LOOKS SMALL.
YEAH, WELL, IT'S KIND OF CLOSE QUARTERS IN HERE.
YOU WANT A DRINK?
YEAH.
OH, GOD, I USED TO PLAY IN HERE WHEN I WAS LITTLE.
SOME GLASSES HERE... SOMEWHERE.
AND THEN LATER...
I LOST SOMETHING IN HERE.
GOD, I WAS 16, 15-- NO, 16...
'CAUSE THAT WAS THE YEAR
I RODE MIRACLE CHILD IN THE NATIONAL.
AND HE WAS HERE WITH HIS PARENTS.
EVERYBODY WAS AWAY AT THE AUCTION.
WOULD YOU LIKE ANOTHER DRINK?
YEAH.
THANK YOU.
GOD, I REMEMBER I WAS SO NERVOUS, AND...
I WAS STANDING RIGHT IN THIS VERY SPOT...
WITH MY BACK TO HIM, LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW.
I KNEW I WANTED SOMETHING TO HAPPEN,
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR SAY,
SO I JUST STOOD HERE...
HOPING AND WAITING... FOR HIM TO MAKE HIS MOVE.
AND?
AND FINALLY HE DID.
OH, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY.
WHAT'S WRONG?
NOTHING.
GODDAMN YOU, EDDIE! DAMN YOU!
I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT.
I AM NOT THE ONE WHO WAS UNFAITHFUL.
AM I RIGHT?
RIGHT.
YES. [SIGHS]
I--I--I--I WANT TO DO THIS.
I REALLY WANT TO.
BUT YOU KNOW, IT JUST FIGURES
THAT THE ONE TIME I WANT TO DO THIS,
YOU'D FIND A WAY TO TAKE THE FUN OUT OF IT.
I'M NOT DOING THIS FOR REVENGE.
LET'S JUST GET THAT STRAIGHT.
OK.
THAT'S NOT WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
WELL--
WHAT...IS GOING ON HERE?
I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA.
COME HERE.
THIS IS CRAZY.
THIS IS SO CRAZY. I'VE BEEN WANTING THIS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ABOUT TO SAY THIS...
BUT YOU'RE NOT READY.
YES, I AM.
OH, NO, YOU'RE NOT.
YOU GOT TO FACE THE FACTS.
YOU GOT A BROKEN HEART.
YOU GOT TO DEAL WITH IT,
AND I DON'T WANT TO BE THIS...
CRAZY THING YOU DID ONE NIGHT.
OH, SHIT.
WELL, IF WE'RE NOT DOING THIS,
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
OH, GOD.
MMM...
I'LL SAY ONE THING--
YOU SOUTHERN WOMEN SURE ARE EASY TO PLEASE.
COMES FROM CENTURIES OF BEING BRED
TO KEEP OUR EXPECTATIONS LOW.
HA HA HA!
WAIT A SECOND.
CAROLINE, WAKE UP. I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
BABY, YOU'RE GOING TO RIDE POSSUM, OK?
CAROLINE, DID YOU HEAR ME?
NO, NO, NO. NOT RIGHT NOW.
TOMORROW, SWEETIE.
DO YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, DOODLEBUG?
YEAH. GOOD NIGHT, MY SWEETIE.
GOOD NIGHT.
Caroline: YES! HA HA HA!
Emma Rae: HE HAS A TENDENCY
TO BACK OFF OF THE FIRST FENCE.
Grace: TROT HIM TO THE END,
AND LET HIM SEE THE COURSE.
HEY! BUG!
DADDY! HA HA HA!
YOU LOOK LIKE A WINNER.
I DO?
GRACE.
HI, EDDIE.
Hank: READY TO GO, CAROLINE?
COME ON, DADDY.
RIGHT BEHIND YOU, HONEY.
Emma Rae: YOU'LL FEEL HIM GOING INTO IT.
SUPPORT HIM AT THE VERTICAL.
LADYBUG, I'M GOING TO GO WATCH.
OK.
HAVE FUN.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW, BABY, YOU JUST STAY REALLY FOCUSED.
MOM! MOM!
MOM, JUST GO IN AND WATCH.
I WANT TO DO THIS BY MYSELF. PLEASE?
OK. I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU.

* PEOPLE ARE TALKING *
* TALKING 'BOUT PEOPLE *
* I HEAR THEM WHISPER... *
SON, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW MY ASS FROM BAKERSFIELD
OR SHIT FROM SHINOLA.
EITHER WAY.
YOU TAKE HIM BACK WITH YOU.
NEXT YEAR, YOU TAKE HIM IN THERE YOURSELF.
I'LL PAY YOU YOUR RATE.
WHEN YOU'RE READY, I'LL SELL YOU HALF OF HIM.
I ONLY DO ABOUT ONE DECENT THING A YEAR,
SO I SUGGEST YOU TAKE IT.
COME UP TO THE HOUSE AND HAVE A DRINK, SON.
YOU'VE EARNED AT LEAST THAT.
LET THIS HORSE GET SOME REST.
* LET'S GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT *
* HOW ABOUT LOVE? *
CONGRATULATIONS, HANK.
THANKS. REALLY.
I HEARD YOU AND EDDIE WERE GETTING A DIVORCE.
HOW DID YOU HEAR THAT?
WELL, EDNA TOLD NADINE WHO TOLD KITTY
WHO TOLD ME THAT SHE SAW EDDIE WITH JACK PIERCE,
THE MEANEST SON OF A BITCH DIVORCE GUY IN TOWN.
YOU SHOULD TRY TO HIRE HIM IF EDDIE HASN'T.
WHEN BETSY AND BO BARKLEY SPLIT,
HE SCREWED HER TO THE WALL.
I MEAN, SHE GOT SQUAT.
EDDIE? CAN I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU?
FRANK, HOW ARE YOU?
HI.
WHOA!
MARY JANE REED JUST INFORMED ME
THAT YOU WERE SEEN WITH JACK "MAD DOG" PIERCE.
COULDN'T YOU BE JUST A LITTLE MORE DISCREET?
I HATE THE IDEA OF IT BEING ALL OVER THE BARBECUE.
IT'S PROBABLY IN THE NEWSPAPER.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
COME ON.
LET'S TAKE CARE OF THIS RIGHT NOW.
LET'S GET THIS SORTED OUT.
LET GO!
EDDIE, THIS IS NOT...
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE DOING THIS.
* LEAVING JUST YOUR PICTURE BEHIND *
* AND I'VE KISSED IT A THOUSAND TIMES *
* WANT TO TELL YOU I DON'T LOVE YOU *
* TELL YOU THAT WE'RE THROUGH *
* AND I'VE TRIED *
* BUT EVERY TIME I SEE YOUR FACE *
* I GET ALL CHOKED UP INSIDE *
BACK IT UP.
WALK IT.
* CAN'T HELP MYSELF *
* NO, I CAN'T HELP MYSELF *
* WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME *
* GIRL, IT STARTS A FLAME *
* BURNING IN MY HEART *
* TEARING IT ALL APART *
* NO MATTER HOW I TRY *
* MY LOVE I CANNOT HIDE *
* OH, SUGAR PIE, HONEY BUNCH *
* WEAKER THAN A MAN COULD EVER BE *

A FITTING END.
I REALLY AM SORRY, GRACE.
DANCE WITH ME, DADDY!
DANCE WITH ME!
COME ON, SWEETIE.
* EVERY DREAM I EVER DREAMED *
* THOUGHT THEY HAD SEEN THE LAST OF ME... *
COME ON, BABY, LET'S DANCE.
READY?
BET YOU DIDN'T THINK YOU STILL HAD IT IN YOU.
HEY, DADDY.
HEY, DARLING.
* AND EVERYONE I EVER LOVED *
* WAS DOWN ON ME *
* IT WASN'T MUCH TO SEE THAT DAY... *
YOU LOOKED GOOD OUT THERE TONIGHT.
[CHUCKLE]
I LOOKED ALL RIGHT.
I WAS PROUD OF YOU.
WELL, I WAS PROUD OF YOU, TOO.
DADDY, I'M SORRY.
DON'T BE.
I'M NOT.
YOU KNOW, SON,
YOU WERE LUCKY TO GET HER THE FIRST TIME.
[SIGH]
IT WAS A DAMN MIRACLE.
OW!
[TAP TAP TAP]
COME ON, ED.
IF I THOUGHT YOU WERE A TOTAL PIECE OF SHIT,
I WOULDN'T BOTHER GIVING YOU SUCH A HARD TIME.
THAT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT USED TO BE.
AAH!
GOD, GRACE!
SHH! SHH!
WELL, I'M GONNA GO SEE A HORSE ABOUT A MAN.
GRACE...
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
I HAD FUN TONIGHT.
ME, TOO.
GRACE...
IF I COULD GO BACK...
IF WE COULD JUST GET BACK
TO WHERE WE WERE BEFORE...
I WOULD GO.
WOULD YOU?
HOW WOULD WE MAKE SURE
THAT WE DIDN'T END UP RIGHT BACK HERE?
IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT.
I'D TALK TO YOU BEFORE THINGS GOT...
I WOULDN'T DO THINGS
THAT YOU CAN'T TAKE BACK.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THAT.
IT'S MY FAULT, TOO.
NO.
AND I AM SORRY.
I WANT TO BE DIFFERENT, TOO.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO...
COME TO THE END OF MY LIFE
AND HAVE TO SAY, "I WANTED TO BE DIFFERENT,
BUT I CHICKENED OUT WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE."
AND I FEEL LIKE THIS IS IT.
THIS IS MY CHANCE
TO BECOME SOMEONE THAT I CAN BE PROUD OF,
AND I DON'T WANT TO BLOW IT.
OH, GRACE...
[SIGH]
I THINK THAT...
YOU AND CAROLINE SHOULD MOVE BACK HOME.
I'LL GET A PLACE OF MY OWN, OK?
I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR HER...
FOR ALL OF US.
I LOVE YOU, GRACE.
I LOVE YOU, TOO.
EDDIE?
YOU CAN USE THE DOOR.
OH, YEAH.
I'LL SEE YOU.
TAKE CARE.
JAMIE!
BET YOU'RE GLAD TO BE ROLLIN' OUT OF HERE.
OH, IT'S BEEN INTERESTING.
SO, I'LL SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.
I'LL BE HERE.
GRACE?
HEY, GRACE.
I'M MEETING MELISSA LATER FOR RIBS.
DO YOU WANT TO COME AND BRING CAROLINE?
SORRY. I CAN'T. I HAVE A DATE.
A DATE? OR A "DATE" DATE?
A FIRST DATE.
COOL. SEE YOU LATER.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
HI.
HOW WAS SCHOOL?
IT WAS GREAT.
YOU'RE EARLY.
WELL, YOU FINALLY SAID YES TO DINNER.
I FIGURED IT HAD BETTER BE GOOD, SO...
POACHED PEARS?
YEAH, WITH A CHANTILLY CREAM.
GO AHEAD.
AHEM. YOU FIRST.
