Coal Miner's Daughter Page #8

Put them right there under the

guitar against the red trailer.

Come on, let's move it up.

I'm cold, I'm miserable, I'm wet,

I'm gonna lose my voice.

Have you seen Doo?

No, darling.

MAN:
The corner and

put that big ol' thing

up against the dashboard.

Take this, will ya?

MAN 2:
Anything else

MAN 3:
Yeah,

I got this right here.

MAN 1:
Put them on top.

That's it.

MAN 2:
Let's go.

This bus is taking off!

Woman, if you

wanna keep that arm,

you better get it

off my husband.

Who are you telling what?

I don't know who you are.

But I know what you are.

Come on, Doo, if you can walk,

they're gonna leave us.

Well, let me

tell you something,

if you was keeping

your man satisfied,

he wouldn't have to go nowhere else.

(BUS HORN HONKS)

Doo, come on, they're

gonna leave without us.

MAN:
Loretta, let's go!

Let me get my parrots, baby.

(HORN HONKING)

MAN:
Loretta!

Thank you.

The hell you getting in such

an uproar about, Loretta?

I wasn't doing nothing.

Yeah, I saw you doing nothing.

Loretta, darlin', I get lonesome

standing around by myself,

I need somebody to talk to.

It didn't look like no talking to me.

I'm warning you, Doo,

I'd better not ever catch you

with trash like that again.

I mean it.

Warning me?

Goddamn, woman, don't you

ever warn me about nothing!

You understand that?

Hear me talking to you?

You hear me talking to you?

(PLAYING COUNTRY MUSIC)

(SINGING) Women like you,

they're a dime a dozen

You can buy 'em anywhere

For you to get to him

I'll have to move over

And I'm gonna stand right here

This is the chorus.

It'll be over my dead body

So get out while you can

'Cause you ain't woman enough

to take my man

Where the hell did you

get the idea for that?

Where do you think?

Hey, Charlie!

Charlie!

Wake up, Charlie.

Where the hell you been?

Shopping.

Looks like you have, too.

Get all that crap

off your face, by God,

I had about

enough of this crap.

I like it and it's stayin'.

Where the hell you going?

Hold on a minute, Mooney,

this is my idea.

You don't talk to me like that.

If I wanna wear makeup, I will.

The hell you will. You're gonna do

exactly whatever the hell I tell you.

I'll do just what I want!

Don't you talk to me like that.

Don't you hit me!

Don't you hit me.

I'll whip your butt, girl! Goddamn!

Hey, hey. Come on,

let's get in the car.

Charlie, get in the car and drive.

Loretta, get in the car.

Charlie,

get in that car and drive.

MAN:
Oh, that's Patsy Cline.

(ENGINE STARTING)

WOMAN:
That's Loretta Lynn!

Damn!

MAN:
Hello, Patsy!

WOMAN:
Get

your camera, honey.

Get ready now.

Ain't no chance of gettin' in

that goddamned car, hey, boys?

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

Oh, my God. Did I do that?

Is it broke?

(SIGHS)

Aren't you gonna talk?

Baby, what I think I'm gonna

do is get me a job somewhere,

driving a truck

or being a mechanic

or doing something

that I'm good at.

You're good at managing me.

I wouldn't be here

if it wasn't for you.

Getting here's one thing

and being here's another.

(SIGHS)

My job's done, baby,

I'll just get me another one.

Doo, if it's gonna

break us up, I'll quit.

Successful people

don't quit, baby.

Got another one of your

headaches, don't you?

Just like your daddy.

Coal dust give

him the headache.

I guess I'm what's

giving 'em to you.

Loretta.

Figured it was about time.

Doo.

LORETTA ON RADIO: (SINGING) For you

to get to him I'll have to move over

And I'm gonna stand right here

It'll be over my dead body

So get out while you can

'Cause you ain't woman enough

to take my man

I'm pregnant again, Patsy.

Are you sure?

I don't wanna have it.

I've been having

babies since I was 14.

What does Mooney think?

He doesn't know.

Hey, come on, I think you

oughta be happy about this.

I'm tickled.

We're gonna have a baby!

You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna give you the biggest

baby shower in Nashville.

Now, I want you to make a list.

Then we'll go shopping.

Hey, you know, I saved all

of my maternity clothes.

In fact, I got

Randy's old things, too.

You're gonna need

all of this, Loretta.

(PATSY SQUEALS)

You know, I forgot I had this.

Oh, Patsy.

Can you believe it?

You scared me.

(SINGING)

Red's the color

that drives men wild.

Oh, great,

that's just what I need.

Well, you never know

when it'll come in handy.

Hey, listen, anything

you can't find in this box

we're gonna buy

when I get back.

Where are you going?

I got a benefit in Kansas City.

Oh, I didn't know

I threw that thing away.

Maybe I oughta keep that.

Keep it burnin'.

Now look, this'll take

you through your fifth month.

(GASPS) Oh, Patsy, are you

sure you want me to have this?

Oh, yes, darlin', take it.

Take it.

I got something with your name

written on it right here.

I love that.

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

Oh, Patsy, I got to go.

Doo's waiting for me.

You all right?

Yeah.

All right, now,

I'll call you on Monday.

Okay.

We'll go shopping.

Anything we can't buy

we'll make.

Anything we can't make,

we'll steal.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Now, you take care of

yourself, all right?

Okay.

Okay, darling.

Bye-bye, darling.

Thank you, Patsy.

Take care. Now, I'm calling you

first thing Monday, don't forget.

PATSY ON RADIO:
(SINGING)

You don't love me

It's plain

I should know

I'll never wear...

DJ ON RADIO:
You're listening to a special

memorial tribute to the late Patsy Cline,

tragically killed

early this morning

in a plane crash near

Dyersburg, Tennessee.

Baby.

Darlin'.

She can't be dead.

Baby.

(SOBBING)

We was going shopping.

Who am I gonna talk to now?

I got the names for 'em, Doo.

Peggy and Patsy.

Which one is which?

I don't know. (LAUGHS)

I reckon we'll have to wait and

see who grows up to be who.

Well, one thing's for sure,

we're gonna have to get us

a bigger house someplace

soon as you get some rest.

I'm gonna go back to work

just as soon as I can, Doo.
