Happy, Texas Page #8

Synopsis: Two escaped convicts arrive in the town of Happy, Texas, where they are mistaken for a gay couple who is to host the town's Little Miss Fresh Squeezed beauty pageant. Enjoying the celebrity and using their skill as con-men, the two adopt their persona to take on the task. Of course, as the two are heterosexual, their interest in the involved ladies intensifies. Ally Walker is a banker, who is distrustful of men and has given up on love. Illeana Douglas plays the dowdy, badly dressed teacher.

I came for me.

I just wanted to know all that time that we

were together all those things that you said

were they just so you

could get into my bank?

Joe... Joe...

Please, Joe, wait!

Joe, I've been a screwup

my whole life

and I never thought twice about it

even in prison, not until you.

You make me think about it.

Don't make me come after you.

They'll shoot me!

My life up till now

has been very fuzzy.

Now, the difference between

what is truth and what is not truth...

has been a problem for me.

Joe. There is nothin'...

fuzzy...

about what I feel for you.

You know, you spoke better

when you were gay.

I want you to know, if you think

it will help, I'm willing to try that.

Please don't.

You forgive me?

Not right now, no, but...

I've got three to five

to think about it, don't I?

Good behaviour

out in 22 months.

You think you're capable

of good behavior?

If you give me the chance

I could be very, very good.

Perfect.

You blow a fuse

Zing, boom

The devil cuts loose

Zing, boom

So what's the use

Whoa, bam

Of falling in love

The sky caves in

The devil cuts loose

You blow, blow, blow

blow, blow your fuse

When you've fallen in love

Shh.

Cute butt, sexy eyes

Tall and dark

I know what I like

Heart of gold

Yes, yes, I'm here.

I want to report

a stolen recreational vehicle.

Very expensive.

Very expensive.

Brand new.

I'm very upset. It's brand new.

It is brand new

and I'm very upset.

Yes, I will. I will.

Okay. He's transferring me

to a detective.

I wish you would stop talkin' and

yappin' away when I'm tryin' to do this.

Okay, if you want to do it

you can do it.

I should have done it.

Well, then, don't sit and talk about

should've and would've.

I can cry on cue, Steven.

Well, I am trying to cry

and make it believable.

I'm doing the best I can.
