Sweet Dreams
It's a red light!
Hang on to your seat!
Charlie! I can't believe
you did that.
You scared me half to death!
I can't open my door.
How am I supposed to get out?
You said you wanted
to go to this dance.
I do want to go to the dance.
I just didn't think...
Hi, Charlie. Nice parking job.
This is gonna cost me $2.00.
Hi. Hello.
You're looking pretty. Thank you.
You look nice yourself.
Look who's here!
Your favorite from the Rainbow
Road, Miss Patsy Cline.
Howdy. You all havin'
a good time? Yeah!
This is a Bob Wills' tune
that I picked special
just to sing to you.
Deep within my
heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I
live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
Well, it was there I found
Beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange
as the blue up above
On that moonlit pass
that only he would know
Still hears my
broken song of love
That's Cline?
Patsy Cline. Right.
Why don't I know her?
Damned if I know.
She sings at the Rainbow Road?
On weekends, yeah.
Lips so sweet and tender
like petals fallin' apart
Thanks for bringing me,
Charlie. Speak once again
Of my love, my own
Broken song Empty words I know
Shall live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass
She went to school
with my brother.
They used to say,
" Don't dare Patsy if
you don't want it done."
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
She's got real nice tits.
And she's married,
Bozo. You lose.
Thank you.
Stop it! You're such a geek!
Hi. Hi.
I want you to get your coat.
for a drink. I want us to
dance a while.
Then I want us to get to know
each other a lot better.
You want a lot, don't you?
Yeah, I do, baby.
Well, people in hell want
ice water. That don't
mean they get it.
Patsy, you never did.
I did so. I looked him right
in the eye and said...
"People in hell want ice water.
That don't mean they get it."
Who was he? Some clown
with hot britches.
Lord, I do get tired of men
sometimes, always pawin'
and snortin' around.
They after you all the
time when you were my age?
I don't know.
Were they, Mama?
Tell me. Stop it.
Quit, Patsy.
Back when I was in high school
and had a better shape...
there was this boy
named Teddy Welloff.
Had gray eyes with
coal black eyelashes.
This is way before
I met your daddy.
May he rot in hell. Don't speak
like that about Daddy.
Anyway, at lunch we'd all
go in the cloakroom to
get our dinner buckets.
Every day this Teddy
Welloff used to brush his
front up against me...
when I was bent over.
That's the truth.
Wait, there's more.
One day, I took my
ink pen with me.
That thing had a real
sharp point on it.
the rest of the day...
but there was egg salad sandwich
all over that cloakroom.
That boy walked funny for a week.
I'm gonna pee my pants.
You gonna come in for a while?
It looks like it.
No, honey, I better go
on home. You chicken!
I'll be over for Sunday dinner.
Bye.
Nightynight.
Good night, baby.
I'm home.
How'd it go?
Well, I only made $25.
I did real good I
think. That's nice.
I sang "San Antonio Rose."
I've been gone all evening.
Don't you want to talk to me?
Say "Kiss my ass" or something?
Sorry, honey.
How'd it go tonight?
Ask me something else?
Come on, let's have
a conversation.
Notice anything different?
I finished the riggin'.
Patsy, why are you always
pushing at me so hard?
I don't know.
Just hoping for a fight,
or a laugh or something.
I don't want to fight
with you. I'm not mad.
I can't stand it. Makes me want
to scream and claw my face.
What should I do?
You didn't ask me how to
get into this marriage.
ask me how to get out of it.
Is he mean to you? No.
Does he drink? Gamble?
Does he chase the women?
Then what?
Come on, girl. Speak the
truth and shame the devil.
God as my witness, I don't know!
I laid in bed and thought,
" Sh*t! What if I was blind
or didn't have my legs?"
You watch that mouth.
Mom, I'm home.
I'm starvin'.
There's lunch made,
but don't spoil your dinner.
Say hello to your sister before
I don't know, Mama.
My life ain't so bad.
I got a decent house,
a man who loves me.
I've even sung on
television four times.
Tell me. Why do I have to
force myself to get out
of bed every mornin'?
You always was hard to
keep satisfied, even when
you was little.
I'm not talking about
when I was three.
I'm asking you what
I should do now.
Maybe you should scream and claw
your face. See if that'll help.
I said blue moon of
Kentucky keep on ashinin'
Shine on the one that's
gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky
keep on ashinin'
Shine on the one that's
gone and left me blue
It was on one moonlit night
Stars shining bright
Whispered on high
Love said goodbye
I said blue moon of
Kentucky keep on ashinin'
Shine on the one that's
gone and left me blue
Thank you. Goddamn
woman, you're good!
That b*tch can sing!
I don't know if you
remember me. Take a walk.
I really like the way you sing.
What were you doing while I sang?
You think that's funny?
I was listening.
I don't like the way you
listen. Take a walk.
Hi.
Oh, merciful God.
I want to explain.
It's the creature
that wouldn't die.
I came over here to
explain. He won't go away.
To apologize for messin' you up.
