NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU THINK IT IS,
THERE'S NOTHIN' HAPPENED TO YOU
THAT HASN'T HAPPENED TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
NO !NO !
HEY, BEN.
DO YOU WANT TO GO SNAKE HUNTING ?
WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ?
HMM ?
JESUS, MOTHER OF GOD !
WHAT IN HELL DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR ?
WHAT ?
THAT COLOR IS PURE COW PISS.
FELIX, LOOK AT HER !
YOU'RE BLONDE.
WELL, THAT'S RIGHT AND THERE AIN'T GONNA BE
BUT ONE BLONDETTE IN THIS SHOW.
LIKE YOU'RE A REAL BLONDETTE ?
I SEE YOU NAKED EVERY NIGHT.
FELIX, WOULD YOU TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER ?
I THINK SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.
DON'T PAY HER NO MIND NOW.
SHE'S JUST OUT OF SORTS ABOUT...
ABOUT EVERYTHING.
SHE'S JUST PLAIN MEAN.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH IT.
I'M SAD, TOO, YOU KNOW.
WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY, LITTLE GIRL ?
I DON'T KNOW.
I'M SICK OF THIS PLACE.
ALL OF IT.
CURLY AND JASPER, THEY LIT OUT LAST NIGHT.
I HEARD.
WE COULD DO THAT TOO, YOU KNOW.
LEAVE ?
SURE.
JUST... HIT THE TRAIL.
GO WHERE ?
ANYWHERE BUT TEXAS.
HOLLYWOOD ?
WELL, MAYBE.
HAPPENS ALL THE TIME OUT THERE, DADDY.
PEOPLE GO TO HOLLYWOOD WITH NOTHING BUT A DREAM,
THEN THEY JUST GET DISCOVERED
AND BECOME BIG STARS.
THAT WHAT YOU WANT, LITTLE GIRL ?
ANYTHING'S BETTER THAN HERE.
WELL, BEST START PACKING YOUR BAGS.
( inhaling )
( door buzzer )
MISS IRIS...
OH, MISS IRIS THERE'S A GENTLEMAN HERE TO SEE YOU.
OH, TELL HIM I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN.
MISS CROWE...
IT'S GOOD TO MEET YOU.
I'M TOMMY DOLAN.
I WORK FOR KZAK RADIO IN LOS ANGELES.
I'M A REPORTER.
YOU SAID YOU WERE WITH THE CALIFORNIA MINISTRY !
I WASN'T SURE IF YOU'D SEE ME, MA'AM.
I KNOW THIS IS A VERY TRYING TIME.
YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
NOW, YOU GET OUTTA THIS HOUSE,
BEFORE I TAKE A HORSEWHIP TO YOUR BACKSIDE.
I WASN'T TRYING TO PULL A FAST ONE, MA'AM, I SWEAR.
I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO YOU.
WHAT IS IT YOU WANT, MR. DOLAN ?
I WAS THE LAST PERSON TO SEE YOUR BROTHER ALIVE.
THE MAN WHO PUT THE STORY ON THE RADIO ?
THAT'S ME, "TALES FROM THE ROAD."
HOW WAS HE ?
UNSHAVEN, COULD USE A BATH,
BUT HEALTHY,
STRONG OF SPIRIT.
WE WERE PASSING THE BOTTLE AROUND THE CAMPFIRE
JUST OUTSIDE OF KINGSBURG...
MY BROTHER DOESN'T DRINK.
OH, WELL, I MAY BE WRONG ABOUT THAT PART.
ELROY, JUST PUT IT THERE WITH THE OTHERS PLEASE.
YES, MA'AM.
WOW, THAT'S A LOTTA MAIL.
WELL, PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT MY BROTHER, MR. DOLAN.
ABOUT OUR MINISTRY, GOOD CHRISTIAN PEOPLE.
MAY I ?
I'M...
"DEAR BROTHER JUSTIN,
"WE HEARD YOUR STORY ON THE RADIO
"AND OUR WHOLE FAMILY WAS TOUCHED BY YOUR BRAVE STRUGGLE.
"PLEASE ACCEPT THIS DONATION AS A TOKEN OF OUR BELIEF
IN YOUR MISSION AND PRAY FOR YOUR... "
A SAWBUCK.
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD HAS MOVED HIS PEOPLE TO BE GENEROUS
IN OUR TIME OF NEED.
AMEN.
WHY DON'T WE MOVE ALL THIS INTO THE KITCHEN.
THANK YOU, BOYS.
SURE LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF DONATIONS IN THERE.
ENOUGH TO GET YOU STARTED ON A NEW CHURCH, I BET.
WELL, THAT WILL BE UP TO MY BROTHER, MR. DOLAN.
YES, OF COURSE.
BUT, AS BROTHER JUSTIN EXPLAINED IT TO ME,
YOUR PROBLEMS HERE IN MINTERN GO BEYOND MONEY.
HE TOLD YOU THAT ?
YES, MA'AM, HE DID.
THE MEN WHO RUN THIS CITY,
THEY WANTED TO SHUT US DOWN
BECAUSE WE MINISTER TO MIGRANTS.
WELL, YOU SEE, THERE'S WHERE I REALLY CAN BE OF HELP.
THERE'S NOTHING MORE IRRITATING
TO A POLITICIAN THAN A REPORTER.
I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND UNGRATEFUL,
MR. DOLAN, BUT...
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU ?
WELL, MISS CROWE, WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME IS A GOOD STORY.
A GOOD STORY MEANS MORE LISTENERS,
WHICH MEANS MORE RENOWN, WHICH MEANS MORE MONEY,
WHICH MEANS MORE OF EVERYTHING TO A LOWLY SINNER LIKE ME.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TO GO TO CHURCH, MR. DOLAN.
I'D BE HAPPY TO GO ANYWHERE
YOU'D CARE TO TAKE ME, MISS CROWE.
I BETTER GO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE KITCHEN.
WILL YOU EXCUSE ME,
I'M SURE YOU CAN FIND YOUR WAY OUT.
( distant voices )
( groaning )
I NEED HELP !
I NEED YOUR HELP !
PLEASE.
( Russian accent ) WHY DO YOU CHASE US ?
I'M NOT CHASING YOU.
WHERE ARE THE OTHERS ?
NOW, LISTEN.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU GO FIND YOUR PARENTS
AND YOU TELL THEM THAT I'M OUT HERE.
I'M HURT VERY BADLY.
I NEED HELP.
WHERE'S YOUR MOTHER ?
MY MOTHER'S DEAD.
THEN WHERE'S YOUR FATHER ?
MY FATHER'S AN EVIL MAN.
HEY !
( whispering )
HEY, WAIT, WHERE'RE YOU GOING ?!
HEY !
HEY, COME BACK HERE !
COME BACK HERE !
COME BACK !
SO SNAKE CHARMING PAYS PRETTY GOOD ?
DON'T SEEM NATURAL, FOLKS PAYING TO SEE THAT.
SOMETHING ABOUT WATCHING A WOMAN HANDLE A SNAKE
MAKES A MAN DOWN RIGHT PERCOLATED.
PROBABLY GOES BACK TO THE SERPENT IN THE GARDEN.
GARDEN OF EDEN, YOU KNOW ?
YEAH, CORINTHIANS, EZEKIAL,
REVELATIONS, MATTHEW, LUKE.
MY MA READ SCRIPTURE TO ME EVERYDAY.
THAT RIGHT ?
WELL, I GOT A BIBLE IF YOU WANT TO START READING IT AGAIN.
NAW, HAD ENOUGH OF THAT FOR ONE LIFETIME.
WELL, REMEMBER NOW,
WE'RE LOOKING FOR A HOGNOSE OR A PLAINBELLY,
BUT THE MARKINGS CAN SOMETIMES FOOL YOU.
ONE TIME, DOWN NEAR FORT WORTH,
I CAUGHT WHAT I TOOK TO BE A PLAINBELLY.
DAMN THING TURNED OUT TO BE A COTTONMOUTH.
BIT THE HELL OUTTA ME.
ALMOST DIED.
DAMN.
WAS HACK SCUDDER WHO PULLED ME THROUGH.
REALLY ?
YEAH, IT'S A FACT.
SAT UP WITH ME ALL NIGHT DURING THE FEVER.
PUT HIS HAND ON MY FACE, JUST--
I'VE SEEN THAT LOOK ON YOUR FACE BEFORE.
YOU DON'T LIKE TO BE TOUCHED, DO YOU ?
WASN'T MUCH TOUCHIN' GOING ON IN MY FAMILY.
WELL, THAT'S A SHAME.
WELL.
THAT WEREN'T SO BAD.
HOLLYWOOD ?
AND WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO IN HOLLYWOOD ?
LIBBY WANTS TO GET INTO PICTURE SHOWS.
SHE DANCES THE COOTCH.
WHAT KIND OF PICTURE SHOWS YOU THINK THEY'RE GONNA PUT HER IN ?
SHE'S A SMART COOKIE, SHE'LL BE FINE.
WHAT ABOUT US, FELIX, WHAT'RE WE GONNA DO ?
WE'LL FIND SOMETHING.
YOU'RE DREAMING LIKE LIBBY NOW.
ALL I KNOW IS, I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE, RITA SUE.
NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME.
WE LEAVE HERE WITHOUT ANOTHER JOB LINED UP,
WE GONNA END UP ON THE BREAD LINE,
AND THAT IS A FACT !
AND NO DREAMS ABOUT RUNNING OFF TO HOLLYWOOD
ARE GONNA CHANGE THAT !
THIS FAMILY HAS GOT TO KEEP GOING.
THERE IS GONNA BE A SHOW TONIGHT.
AND I'M GONNA NEED A BALLY.
FELIX ?
SHE AIN'T BUT TWO WEEKS IN THE GROUND...
IT'S CALLED BLONDEX.
WELL, I LIKE IT.
REALLY ?
YEAH.
YOU AIN'T JUST SAYING IT TO BE NICE ?
I'M NOT THAT NICE.
MAMA HAD A DUCK-FIT ABOUT IT.
I BET.
I KNEW SHE WOULD.
I DON'T CARE.
I DON'T FEEL SO MUCH LIKE BEING ME RIGHT NOW.
ANYWAY, IT HELPS TO BE BLONDE IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THE MOVIES.
LIKE JEAN HARLOW.
OR THELMA TODD.
SHE'S GOT HER OWN CAFE,
"THELMA TODD'S SIDEWALK CAFE."
AND SHE LIVES IN THIS APARTMENT ON TOP.
SAYS SHE CAN LOOK OUT HER WINDOW...
SEE THE OCEAN.
SO WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO ?
HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE,
THEN GO KNOCKIN' ON THELMA TODD'S DOOR ?
I'VE GOT WHAT'S CALLED AN ICE-BREAKER.
THEY TALKED ABOUT IT IN PHOTOPLAY.
HOW TO ACT NATURAL IN CASE YOU ENCOUNTER
A MOVIE STAR IN HOLLYWOOD.
SO WHAT'S YOUR ICE-BREAKER ?
WE GOT THE SAME BIRTHDAY !
JULY 29th.
THAT'S GREAT.
BUT HOW YOU GONNA GET ALL THE WAY OUT TO HOLLYWOOD ?
WE'RE LEAVIN' TOMORROW.
TOMORROW ?
FOR GOOD ?
CAN'T STAY HERE NO MORE.
THE IDEA OF GETTING UP AND DANCING AGAIN
AFTER WHAT HAPPENED...
MOMMA SAYS SHE CAN, BUT I DON'T SEE HOW.
YOU'LL BE SO MUCH HAPPIER GETTING OUT OF HERE.
I KNOW.
BE NICE TO BE SURE, THOUGH.
'BOUT HOW THINGS ARE GONNA TURN OUT.
I WAS WONDERING...
MAYBE YOU COULD READ MY CARDS ?
I KNOW YOUR MOMMA DON'T LIKE ME AND ALL, BUT--
OF COURSE.
COME BY LATER TONIGHT,
AND BRING TWO BITS LIKE ANY OTHER PAYIN' CUSTOMER
AND MOMMA WON'T BE ABLE TO SAY A WORD.
TWO BITS.
I'LL LOAN IT TO YOU.
LOOKS LIKE RUTHIE'S TAKING UP HER OLD ACT AGAIN.
BOY'S PAINTING UP HER BANNER REAL NICE.
REALLY ?
SHALL WE ?
YOU KNOW RUTHIE WAS SOMETHING TO SEE IN HER DAY.
A MAN COULD LITERALLY BE HYPNOTIZED
BY WATCHING THE SWAYING OF HER HIPS.
YOU TWO SURE HAVE A LOTTA TIME TO STAND 'ROUND AND JAW.
WE'LL LEAVE YOU TO YOUR WORK SOON ENOUGH.
HOWEVER...
I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE US TO RESUME OUR DISCUSSIONS.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL YOUR BLIND OLD GRANDADDY HERE
THAT I AIN'T INTERESTED AND I NEVER WILL BE.
THINK YOU CAN DISPENSE WHETHER LISTENING TO OLD LODZ
AND HIS BLIND DRUNKEN RAMBLINGS.
PERHAPS THIS WILL INTEREST YOU.
THE TRUTH ABOUT SCUDDER AND RUTHIE.
THAT GOT HIS ATTENTION.
DID SHE TELL YOU THE STORY OF HOW SHE SURVIVED
THE BITE OF THE COTTONMOUTH ?
HE HELPED HER.
I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT.
REALLY, I'M IMPRESSED.
THEN I TAKE IT SHE ALSO TOLD YOU HOW,
AS A REWARD FOR HIS DEVOTION,
SHE TOOK HIM INTO HER BED.
THE SAME WAY SHE'S REWARDED THE MANY
WHO HAVE HELPED HER THROUGH THE YEARS.
UH, OH.
LOVERBOY JUST FOUND OUT THAT HIS SNAKE
ISN'T THE FIRST ONE CHARMED IN RUTHIE'S TRAILER.
YOU LEFT SOMETHIN' OUT OF YOUR STORY THIS MORNING.
WHAT ?
YOU AND SCUDDER.
WHAT ABOUT IT ?
YOU LAID DOWN WITH HIM.
WHAT ?
IT'S TRUE, AIN'T IT ?
WHETHER I DID OR NOT,
THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
THE HELL IT AIN'T !
YOU TAKE EVERY DRUNK THAT COMES ALONG INTO YOUR BED ?
THAT'S HOW IT IS ?
I DON'T ANSWER TO YOU !
GOT ALL THIS TALK, ALL THIS TIME--
YOU BEEN LYING TO ME !
YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING
ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT !
YOU NOTHING BUT A GODDAMN LIAR !
GABE, STOP !
GABE STOP !
STOP IT !
GABE, PUT HIM DOWN !
PUT HIM DOWN, YOU'RE HURTING HIM !
GABE !
OH !
BREAK IT UP, YOU TWO !
GABE !
THIS IS TOMMY DOLAN, WITH MORE TRUE TALES,
FROM ON THE ROAD.
I'M HERE WITH VAL TEMPLETON AND HIS LOVELY WIFE CORINE
IN THE SPACIOUS LIVING ROOM OF THEIR LOVELY
AND WELL-APPOINTED HOME IN MINTERN, CALIFORNIA.
VAL IS AN IMPORTANT MAN HERE IN MINTERN,
INDEED HE'S FAST BECOMING ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MEN
IN THE ENTIRE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY.
HIS REPUTATION'S SPREADING ACROSS THE STATE,
HIS INFLUENCE FELT ALL THE WAY TO SACRAMENTO,
VAL TEMPLETON TODAY STANDS ASTRIDE THE CENTRAL VALLEY
LIKE SOME LATER-DAY COLOSSUS.
YOU'RE TOO KIND, MR. DOLAN.
I'VE BEEN TALKING TO MISS IRIS CROWE,
Devoted sister of Brother Justin Crowe.
She tells me things aren't going well
DOWN AT THE DIGNITY MINISTRY.
I BEG PARDON ?
Things aren't going well
down at Brother Justin's Dignity Ministry.
THAT A FACT ?
YES, SIR.
NOW, I'M SURE LIKE THE REST OF MINTERN,
YOU ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE WHEREABOUTS
OF BROTHER JUSTIN HIMSELF, AM I RIGHT, VAL ?
OH...
KEENLY.
MISS CROWE TELLS ME THEY HAVEN'T BEGUN YET
TO REBUILD THE CHURCH.
APPARENTLY, THEY HAVE NEITHER THE FUNDS NOR THE CAPACITY
FOR SUCH AN UNDERTAKING.
I JUST REMEMBERED I'M GONNA HAVE TO CUT THIS INTERVIEW SHORT
BECAUSE I'VE GOT SOME VERY IMPORTANT
CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS AND I'M GONNA HAVE--
VAL, HOW IS THE ARSON INVESTIGATION GOING ?
THE WHAT ?
WHY, THE INVESTIGATION INTO WHO BURNED DOWN THE MINISTRY
AND KILLED SIX INNOCENT CHILDREN.
You are investigating, aren't you ?
Yes !
CAN OUR LISTENERS BE ASSURED THAT YOU WILL NOT REST
UNTIL THOSE RESPONSIBLE ARE FOUND AND PUNISHED ?
JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED.
HOW MUCH WILL THE CITY COUNCIL
BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE REBUILDING EFFORT ?
CONTRIBUTING ?
WITH THE ENTIRE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
PRAYING FOR JUSTIN'S SAFE RETURN TO HIS MINISTRY,
SURELY THE CITY OF MINTERN COULD DO ITS PART
TO RIGHT THE MONSTROUS WRONG
THAT WAS DONE WITHIN ITS CITY LIMITS.
I MEAN, A CHURCH WAS BURNED.
I'M SURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE
TO COME UP WITH A MODEST CONTRIBUTION.
There is a depression on, after all.
I'm sure anything more than 3,000
would be greatly appreciated.
BLESS YOU, VAL.
LIKEWISE, MR. DOLAN.
( children whispering )
( groaning )
YOU'RE A BAD MAN !
MY FATHER SENT YOU TO KILL US !
NO, I JUST WANT TO FIND SOME HELP.
YOU LIE !
MOTHER TOLD US YOU WOULD !
THAT WE COULD NOT TRUST ANYONE BUT MAN OF GOD.
I AM A MAN OF GOD.
YOU LIE !
( distant male voices )
YOU BROUGHT THEM HERE !
THEY'RE ASSASSINS !
WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?
HEY !
OVER HERE !
( chattering )
THE FOOL.
THE FOOL ?
WELL, THAT AIN'T GOOD.
NO, IT AIN'T BAD.
IT MEANS YOU'RE A PERSON
WHO'S LIGHT-HEARTED AND CAREFREE.
PEOPLE THINK YOU GOT WILD NOTIONS,
BUT THAT'S JUST CAUSE THEY GOT NO IMAGINATION OF THEIR OWN.
THE CHARIOT.
I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT.
WHY IS IT UPSIDE DOWN ?
OH, NO REASON.
I DEALT IT WRONG.
THE CHARIOT MEANS THAT YOU'RE...
DESTINED FOR FAME.
REALLY !
YEAH.
THANK YOU !
AND YOU CAN COME OUT AND VISIT ME SOMEDAY.
WE CAN SWIM IN THE OCEAN--
AND HAVE COFFEE WITH THELMA TODD.
YEAH !
I GONNA GO PACK.
BECAUSE YOU'RE WRONG.
SHE'S NOT GONNA DANCE THE COOTCH THE REST OF HER LIFE.
YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER !
YOU KNOW, SHE'S THE ONLY ONE IN THIS WHOLE PLACE
THAT ACTUALLY THINKS ABOUT WHAT LIFE'S LIKE ON THE OUTSIDE,
WHO HAS DREAMS.
MY DREAMS ARE NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
( Bessie Smith singing on radio )
DAMN, WOMAN.
YOU STILL GOT IT IN YA.
TWO HOURS.
ALL BY YOURSELF.
DID YOU SEE FELIX OUT THERE ?
NAH, TOO MANY PAYING CUSTOMERS.
RITA SUE, I GOTTA HAND IT TO YA.
YOU REALLY SAVED US TONIGHT.
WE IN THE CLOVER.
I BET YOU STUMPY'S GOT YOU BOOKED SOLID TONIGHT.
I AIN'T SEEING ANY GENTLEMEN CALLERS TONIGHT.
FELIX AND I NEED SOME TIME.
* ... A LITTLE SUGAR IN MY BOWL *
* I NEED A LITTLE HOT DOG ON MY ROLL *
* I CAN STAND A BIT OF LOVIN' *
* OH, SO BAD
* I FEEL SO FUNNY, I FEEL SO SAD *
* I NEED A LITTLE STEAM-HEAT ON MY FLOOR *
* MAYBE I CAN FIX THINGS UP SO THEY'LL GO *
* WHAT'S THE MATTER, HARD PAPA *
* COME ON AND SAVE YOUR MAMMA'S SOUL *
* BECAUSE I NEED A LITTLE SUGAR IN MY BOWL *
* DOGGONE IT, I NEED SOME SUGAR IN MY BOWL *
* I NEED A LITTLE SUGAR IN MY BOWL *
* I NEED A LITTLE HOT DOG BETWEEN MY ROLLS *
* YOU GETTIN' DIFFERENT, I'VE BEEN TOLD *
* MOVE YOUR FINGER DROP SOMETHING IN MY BOWL *
* I NEED A LITTLE STEAM-HEAT ON MY CLOTHES *
* MAYBE I CAN FIX THINGS UP, SO THEY'LL GO... *
GOT ANY ROOM IN THERE FOR ME ?
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' UP ?
OH, MA PUT THE RED PIG OUT...
AGAIN.
RED PIG ?
IT'S A SIGNAL.
MEANS SHE WANTS TO GET PORKED.
C'MON.
( giggling )
I WONDER IF YOU GOT THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS ANYBODY FAMOUS.
PROBABLY NOT.
WHEN IS IT ?
I DON'T KNOW MY EXACT BIRTHDAY.
HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW YOUR OWN BIRTHDAY ?
THE DAY MOMMA HAD ME...
WAS THE DAY SHE TOOK SICK.
AND ALL SHE REMEMBERS IS THE CHERRY TREES WERE BLOOMIN',
SO I PICK A DIFFERENT DAY EVERY YEAR.
ALWAYS IN THE SPRING.
YOU AIN'T LIKE ANYBODY ELSE, ARE YA ?
WHAT'S WRONG ?
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I WAITED THIS LONG TO GET TO KNOW YOU,
AND NOW YOU'RE LEAVIN'.
COME WITH US.
I CAN'T.
WHY ?
IT'S YOUR MA ?
LISTEN, THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF HER.
BESIDES, YOU CAN ALWAYS SEND FOR HER LATER.
SOFIE, YOU GONNA BE A CARNIE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE ?
GOING FROM ONE SHITHOLE TOWN TO ANOTHER ?
BARELY MAKING ENDS MEET ?
THIS AIN'T NO LIFE.
( metal creaking )
OH !
HEY, LOOK OUT !
IT'S RAININ' ALCOHOL !
STUMPY, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN' UP THERE ?
WELL, I CLIMBED UP...
AND NOW I CAN'T SEEM TO CLIMB DOWN !
LET ME HELP YOU.
ALRIGHT.
( laughing )
GRAB MY HAND.
JESUS, ALMOST BROKE YOUR DAMN NECK.
GOD, YOU ARE CORK HIGH AND BOTTLE DEEP.
I'M SNOT-FLYIN' DRUNK, MY FRIEND.
YOU CARE TO JOIN ME ?
ONCE I GET STARTED,
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO RACE ME TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT BOTTLE.
THE RACE IS ON !
GIDDY UP.
AAH.
RED EYE ?
THAT'S REGULAR AGGIE FORTY.
I GOT COON DICK HERE, TOO.
WHICH DO YOU PREFER ?
YOUR DRUTHERS IS MY RUTHERS.
( laughing )
EVERY WHICH WAY I TURN,
I SEE MY LITTLE GIRL.
EVERY WHICH WAY.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK, SWEETIE.
( Gabe ) OKAY, MAMA.
HOW IS HE ?
TOOK A WHILE TO MOVE THE BONE BACK INTO PLACE,
BUT IT WAS A CLEAN BREAK.
SHOULD HEAL FINE LONG AS INFECTION DON'T GET IN.
I'M SORRY.
THAT MEANS EXACTLY LESS THAN NOTHIN' TO ME RIGHT NOW.
YOU WERE RIGHT.
THAT WAS NONE OF MY BUSINESS.
I DON'T ANSWER TO NO MAN.
NEVER HAVE...
AND AIN'T GONNA START NOW.
'SIDES...
THINGS I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU.
THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME.
JUST GONNA HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT.
OKAY.
( Doland ) Anything more than 3,000 would be greatly appreciated.
Bless you, Val.
HE'S GOING TO DONATE MONEY
TO OUR CHURCH TO HELP REBUILD.
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.
LIVE ON THE AIR.
BE HARD FOR A POLITICIAN TO TAKE IT BACK NOW.
OH THAT'S...
THAT'S REMARKABLE.
THAT'S TRULY REMARKABLE, MR. DOLAN.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING OVER THE RECORDING THIS EVENING.
I'M SORRY I MISSED IT LIVE.
BUT I WAS IN PRAYER.
NOT AT ALL, I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO HELP.
HAVE SOME MORE.
NO, PLEASE.
I'M NOT USED TO DRINKING.
JESUS TURNED WATER INTO WINE...
THAT'S QUITE AN ENDORSEMENT IN MY BOOK.
I FEEL DECADENT.
THAT'S NOT A BAD FEELING, IS IT ?
SO TELL ME ABOUT YOU.
THERE'S NOT MUCH TO TELL.
HMM...
SOMETHING TELLS ME YOU'RE A COMPLICATED WOMAN.
NO, I'M ACTUALLY VERY SIMPLE.
I LIVE MY LIFE TRUSTING THE LORD.
CAN I TELL YOU A STORY ?
ONE THAT I HAVE HEARD ?
PLEASE.
THERE WERE TWO CHILDREN
A BOY...
A GIRL...
IMMIGRANTS, FROM RUSSIA.
AND THEY WERE TRAVELLING WITH THEIR MOTHER,
BY TRAIN.
ONE NIGHT, THERE WAS A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A BRIDGE COLLAPSED,
AND THE TRAIN WENT DOWN INTO THE WATER.
THERE WERE NO SURVIVORS.
EXCEPT THE BOY AND THE GIRL.
My mother's dead.
BY GOD'S DIVINE MERCY, THEY SURVIVED.
WASHED UP ON A RIVERBANK.
THEY WERE PURSUED.
Why do you chase us ?
A MAN WAS SENT TO KILL THEM.
You brought them here, they're assassins !
THE GIRL FOUGHT TO PROTECT HER BROTHER.
AND THEN THE DAY CAME
WHEN THE BOY HAD TO PROTECT HIS SISTER.
Do you understand English ?
I need your help.
The girl...
your sister, she's your sister, right ?
Your sister is being very, very bad.
She is getting both of you in a lot of trouble.
When people find me,
I will tell them what you've done...
and you'll be punished, you'll be beaten.
( speaking Russian )
But, you're a good boy.
You're a good boy, I can see that.
I know you want to do right.
I know you want to help me.
No, don't worry about her.
Don't worry.
You're the man of the family.
Be the man and take charge.
( speaking Russian )
Aah !
( speaking Russian )
Irina !
You get help now !
( shouting in Russian )
No, Alexsei !
( choking )
( bones snapping )
C'MON NOW, MISTER, STEP DOWN.
NOTHING'S WORTH THIS.
I KILLED HIM.
YOU ALRIGHT, MISTER ?
YOU ALRIGHT ?
THIS WAS NOT VISITED UPON ME.
THIS IS MY BIRTHRIGHT.
WHAT'S THAT ?
THIS IS MY BIRTHRIGHT...
MY BIRTHRIGHT.
YEAH, SURE IT IS.
GET HIM UP.
WOW.
AND THEY WERE THE ONLY TWO SURVIVORS.
THAT'S QUITE A STORY.
MORE OF A PARABLE REALLY.
IN RUSSIA, THERE'S A SAYING:
( speaking Russian )
"PRAY TO GOD, BUT ROW FOR SHORE."
FAITH AND ACTION.
THAT'S HOW I LIVE MY LIFE, MR. DOLAN.
WRITE UP AN AD TO POST IN THE BILLBOARD.
WHAT KINDA AD ?
FOR A NEW COOTCH GIRL.
WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?
WE NEED ANOTHER DANCER.
I CAN'T GO SOLO FOREVER
AND EVEN WHEN LIBBY GETS BACK IN THE GAME,
WE'RE STILL SET-UP FOR A THREE-GIRL SHOW.
NOW WE AIN'T GONNA FIND ANYONE IN THESE COW TOWNS,
SO, YOU'RE GONNA WRITE US AN AD TO BRING IN A PROFESSIONAL.
WE'RE LEAVING...
TODAY.
NO, WE'RE NOT.
I AM.
I'M TAKING MY DAUGHTER WITH ME.
NO, YOU WON'T.
YOU AIN'T GONNA LEAVE ME, FELIX.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO BEGIN TO LEAVE ME.
( wind whistling )
C'MON.
IT'S OKAY.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TRUST ME NOW.
I TRUST YOU, BEN.
AND YOU CAN'T TELL NOBODY ABOUT THIS.
OKAY, NOBODY.
IT'S A SECRET.
THAT'S IT.
MOVE IT AROUND.
HERE.
MOVE IT AROUND.
THOUGHT YOU WERE LEAVING.
THOUGHT WRONG.
I SEEN STUMPY PACKING UP.
DON'T MATTER.
YOU SURE ?
HE SEEMED PRETTY SET ON GOING.
I KNOW HIM.
I BEEN MEANING TO SAY SOMETHING FOR A WHILE.
I DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO BABYLON.
BUT I DID.
I HAD MY ORDERS.
MAYBE I SHOULD'VE STOOD UP.
IT'S MY FAULT WHAT HAPPENED TO DORA MAE.
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SAID DON'T DO THE BLOW-OFF.
IT WAS ME THAT MADE THAT DECISION.
IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER AGAIN...
YEAH.
THING THAT TEARS ME UP...
IS KNOWIN' THAT BASTARD WHO KILLED HER,
IS STILL OUT THERE WALKIN' ROUND.
NO, HE AIN'T.
YOU CAN ONLY KNOW A MAN SO MUCH.
IT'S MY CHANCE.
GOODBYE, MOTHER.
WELL.
HERE WE GO NOW.
HERE WE GO.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT...
WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
YEAH.
CALIFORNIA, HERE WE COME.
HOLLYWOOD !
YEAH.
DADDY, PLEASE, LET'S GO.
WHAT'S GOING ON ?
PLEASE, LET'S GO.
I THINK TOMORROW WOULD BE BETTER, BABY.
DADDY, WE HAD A PLAN.
I KNOW, BABY, TOMORROW.
DADDY, WE'RE GONNA BE IN THE MOVIES !
THE CARDS SAID SO !
TOMORROW, BABY.
DADDY !
YOU PROMISED !
YOU PROMISED, YOU SONOFABITCH !
LIBBY, WE CAN STILL DO THIS.
I CAN DRIVE, WE CAN--
DADDY DON'T LIKE NO ONE ELSE TO DRIVE HIS CAR.
LIBBY...
HEY, PUT IT BACK IN THE SLING.
PUT IT BACK.
YEAH, YOU MIGHT'VE KNOWN THAT, BUT...
I TELL YOU SOMETHING, MOTHER, YOU DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING.
GUESS WHO I JUST SAW ?
I HAVE A HEADACHE, DEAR, PLEASE, NO GAMES.
GABRIEL AND BEN WALKING THROUGH THE MIDWAY.
FASCINATING.
GABRIEL'S WING IS ALL FIXED UP JUST LIKE NEW.
LIKE NEW ?
LIKE IT'D NEVER BEEN BROKE.
ON HIS OWN, HE DID...
HE DID IT ON HIS OWN...
YOUNG PUP.
THINKS HE CAN GO OFF
AND DO HIS TRICKS WITHOUT BRINGING YOU IN.
YOU'LL SHOW HIM, WON'T YA ?
OH !
OW !
( phone ringing )
HELLO.
( speaking Russian )
ALEXSEI ?
JUSTIN, WHERE ARE YOU ?
You always knew what was inside of me.
( hanging up )
( female singing )
