I Walk the Line Page #3

No.

You sure?

Honest.

Say where to come?

No, I just- I just put

"Come tonight" on it.

I mean, I figured

it was your car.

- Wasn't that your car?

- No.

Well, it was.

I seen it there.

The letter, where'd you leave it

in the car? Where'd you leave it?

Exactly, I mean.

Well, I'm not sure.

On the dash somewhere.

I was in a rush.

I wanted you

to find it.

Whose car was it?

- It was one of my deputies.

- Well, he can't do nothin'.

He don't know nothin'. I mean,

it could have been anybody.

I'm sorry.

I'm awful sorry.

Maybe I can still get it.

That's right.

Maybe he missed it.

That'd be good,

wouldn't it?

Oh, I ain't gonna

hurt ya.

Why, I ain't never

gonna hurt ya.

What's he runnin' for?

Alma done

scared him off.

I said,

what's he runnin' for?

Where I put the note

weren't his car.

What's the matter with you?

Can't you settle down?

I said, "You wanna be

shot out of a cannon?"

My head, you know,

made one of those quick moves.

'Cause animals, sometimes when they come

out, they get the lights or something.

And, uh, I've been attacked

several times on this show.

We're gonna take a station

break. We'll be right back.

Stupid.

You ate in the dark,

you drip all over.

Legs all stuck up

with mayonnaise.

What are you looking

around for?

What do you see out there?

Just like you,

starin' in the dark.

Stupid.

Why don't you go to hell?

Tomorrow.

Weather report says

cloudy days are holding on.

The winds coming up

on the east ridge.

Showers here in the local mountains.

Temperatures holding the same.

And the mud slide on Davis Road has been

cleared and traffic gets through as usual.

This is WQQR, Valley Mountain

weather, and here is more music.

Open the door

for the sheriff, Buddy.

Go on.

You find the note?

No.

That, uh, federal man,

did he leave town?

He'll be back.

He went off though.

That's good, isn't it?

He'll be back.

McCain?

I want that whole outfit

sunk in the river.

Everything.

Two days, you hear?

We'll try, Sheriff.

Well, then get started.

And don't you think

I don't mean it.

You got nothin' on me.

I'll just deny anything.

I know that, Sheriff.

I never figured we had.

We get caught, it's our

own fault, not yours.

I'm just obliged to you

for letting us off like this-

I mean, givin' us time,

no matter what reason you got.

Get in the truck.

Tawes, you know what we are.

We don't mean no harm.

There's a federal man now.

There's no choice.

- He have to know about us?

- Sooner or later he'll know.

We'll take our chances.

After all, you won't be gettin'

the worse of it, you hear?

You'll keep on gettin'

the best of it.

We got arrangements,

you hear?

Oh, when the day was ended

I was still not satisfied

I knew everything I touched

would wither and would die

And love is all

that would remain

And grow from

all these seeds

I kept you waitin'.

Flesh and blood needs

flesh and blood I'm sorry.

And you're the one I need

It's almost time

for bed, Grampa.

You'd think in a world

where there's death,

there'd be no time to hate,

wouldn't you?

That's what I used to think

when we got married.

When we had

our whirlwind.

I used to think things

like that.

Guess I read it

somewhere.

Swept you clean off your feet

in that whirlwind, didn't I?

Before you knew it, you had Ellen

Haney around your neck, didn't ya?

Magazine I read said people

never really know each other.

Even married people

it said.

And I fully understand that people

are entitled to their privacy.

I mean, people who

care about each other...

can't even pretend to know

everything about each other.

Don't you agree?

I expect so.

I guess only enemies

can pretend that.

Yes, they do.

That's right.

Oh, Henry.

That's such good thinkin'.

That's really meaningful.

Only enemies pretend

to know a person fully.

You see what kind

of mind you have.

I always believed you could run for a much

bigger county office if you had an urge to.

And I would certainly stand

behind you if that's what you want.

I mean,

anything you want, Henry.

Just 'cause the magazine says

we don't know each other...

don't mean we can't help

each other, does it?

Anything you want, Henry.

Just anything.

Sheriff!

You like to scare

the hell out of me.

Them little radios, they

take these? Oh. Harley?

That's all right.

I'm in the back.

Never mind, Ida. What size batteries

these transistor radios take? Nine?

Good afternoon, Sheriff.

They're for the sheriff.

Nine.

Uh-huh. Nine.

A bag.

How's Ellen Haney?

She's fine.

That's good, what with

all the sickness around.

I hear they'll be buryin'

Colonel Anderson soon.

Is Colonel Anderson dead? No,

but Doc Ellison says

he will be next Tuesday.

I'll sweep out

your chimney

Yes, and I will bring

you flowers

Yes, and I will do for you

most anything you want me to

If we live in a cottage

You will feel

like it's a castle

By the royal way

you're treated

And attention

shown to you

I'll be right beside you

no matter where you travel

Yes, and I'll be there

to cheer you

Till the sun comes

shining through

And if we're ever parted

I will keep the tie

that binds us

And I'll never let it break

'cause I love you

Honey, I will bring

you honey

From the bee tree

in the meadow

And the first time

there's a rainbow

I'll bring you a pot of gold

I'll take all your troubles

And I'll throw 'em

in the river

And I'll bundle down

beside you

And I'll keep you

from the cold

I'll be right beside you

no matter where you travel

Yes, and I'll be there

to cheer you

Till the sun comes

shining through

And if we're ever parted

I will keep the tie that binds us Ghosts.

Hmm? And I'll never let

it break 'cause I love you

Ghosts.

Oh.

We used to think there

was ghosts here. Uh-huh.

Hear all kind

of things.

And who was we?

My sisters.

What'd you hear?

Oh, sounds.

They're all dead now.

Sixteen years.

Car got hit on the highway

goin' into Nashville-

They and my mother.

My pa, he still

don't believe it.

You go to church,

don't ya?

Well, I mean,

being sheriff and all.

I'm sorry

about your people.

You see the lake

over there?

That was our place.

You mean they

took it from you?

They took us from it.

Oh. Huh.

I near forgot.

Oh.

I gotta put them in now.

Johnny Paul.

The sweet life

You can promise me

the moon and all those stars

You can tell me that you

want me and you need me

But it don't mean a thing

without you, babe

Well, let I you take me out

last Friday evening

And you talked about

the perfume in my hair

And just because

I let you hug and kiss me

You think our next date's

gonna be

A swingin' affair

Henry?

Now I must confess you've got

a spark to burnin'

But that spark could start

a fire if it was fanned

Come on now, Henry.

Henry?

Henry, I don't wanna play

this game no more.

Oh!

You scared the daylights

out of me.

You- You're really terrible,

you know that?

What's the matter?

- Go off with me, Alma.
