it's so sweet almost. I'm sorry.

What, you think I'm a f***in' idiot?

Ever since you got here

you've been playing me, man.

Don't tell me

you didn't mean anything by it.

I know it when I see it.

I'm not stupid! I'm not an idiot!

Johnny, you completely misunderstood me.

I was helping you. Sweetheart, listen...

Oh shut up! You b*tch! F***!

Where the hell you think

George come from anyway?

He's no better than us!

- He doesn't think-

- And neither are you. Alright?

Flaunting around!

We all see it!

We're not stupid.

I don't know what George

isn't giving you,

but you want something.

Oh he taught me...

to love him.

He promised to laugh.

He called me his blossom.

He called me his flower.

A blossom to cheer him

though life's weary hour.

But now he has gone and left me alone.

The wildflowers to weep

and the wild birds...

Where would I be if I was a screwdriver?

You may be seated.

You all, when was the last time

you were so filled up

with the Holy Spirit

that people mocked you?

And said, That person must be drunk.

That person must be filled

with new wine.

I think I have to confess that

that time for me may have been never.

Well, I don't like that she was

"just helping him out".

I don't think anyone

ever taught her how to do.

Do what?

Do right. Don't be dumb.

I like her.

She means well.

George likes her.

She doesn't know George.

She loves him.

What do they have in common?

He loves her.

And then she's up all hours with Johnny?

I don't like it.

I want you to say something to her.

Are you listening to me?

Don't be stupid.

But just find out if she

and George are happy.

And tell her Johnny and Ashley

are real happy.

We don't need some stranger

coming in here messing things up.

She ain't a stranger. She's family.

She's still strange.

She's older. She's too pretty.

And she's too smart

and that's a deadly combination.

Hi.

Speak of the devil.

So, how was church? Where's George?

Gas.

He left again?

Eugene says that you

and Johnny stayed up late last night.

Yeah. I was helping with his paper.

Kind of.

Talking. I guess that's the way

you do things in Chicago?

What? Say up late?

Yeah. Talking.

Remember when we used

to go honkytonking at the Grange?

Be quiet, Eugene.

We stayed up till all hours.

Eugene, nobody's listening to you.

Eugene, sit up straight.

And remember what I said.

She's a very strong personality,

isn't she?

That's just her way.

She's not like that inside.

She hides herself.

Like most.

What are you looking for?

Oh, nothing.

My screwdriver, I guess. It's nothing.

How long

have you been doing woodworking for?

I'd love to see your...

Hey!

Hey! You all! I think this is it!

Hi. They're getting really close.

I knew I should have washed my hair

this morning.

- What can I do?

- Hey, Ashley.

Could you cut my toenails?

- Are you sure this is it?

- Sure.

Let me get my scissors.

They been coming all morning,

I've been timing them.

They're really close. Johnny?!

Where you going?

Bring the car up front.

Don't just stand there. Go get the car.

Hey, do you have

any of that nail polish left?

I know I have clippers.

I'm just looking!

What's going on?

Your baby that's all. Where you been?

It's OK. Relax, honey.

We got plenty of time.

- What do you want me to do?

- Why don't you got get the car.

Your daddy's got it.

Okay. I need my little suitcase it's...

No, don't tell me that.

I want to do something important.

Call the doctor?

Lord have mercy!

What do you think I'm doing?

The line is busy.

Go get her little suitcase!

How can every line

at the hospital be busy?

What if we had an emergency?

Breathe.

Hey, it's alright. It's fun. It's fun.

Just think after all this

I get to take home a baby, too.

Damn it to hell!

- It's better than Christmas!

- Come on, let's go.

Come on, get up.

I got it!

Thank you. Could you go grab my flower

flops please.

- Where are they?

- They're in there.

I know. But where?

By my side of the bed.

What do they look like?

- Shoes!

- Brown!

I'm sorry. You stay here.

When George gets home tell him to come

on to the hospital. He'll be a help.

OK.

Pop the trunk!

I'm trying.

We'll keep you posted. You OK?

Ashley, you're the one having the baby.

I know!

Come on, let's go.

I don't want your water breaking.

We just had that upholstery cleaned.

Can you get in? Watch your head.

I hope it's a big baby.

I want to lose like 40 pounds.

Will you ride with your wife!

Heaven's sakes.

Is everybody in?

What do you think?

We bucking up.

Will you drive, Eugene?

Look!

Come on. You'll get your one of

your own soon enough.

- Hello?

- Bernadette! Oh, thank God!

Did Jane ever get through to you?

We've been trying to call.

I really don't want

to be the one to tell you this.

What?

David Wark isn't going with us.

No! What? Why?

His lawyer or his sister,

called yesterday

and said they want to show

in New York

so they're signing with Mark Lane.

Oh sh*t.

I just saw them.

He was here. He ate cake.

He went home with all the balloons.

He said he enjoyed the party.

Did you throw him a party?

No, it was... nevermind.

What else did they say?

I don't know what happened.

They offered them something he wanted.

I don't know what it was.

You'll have to talk to Tommy.

Tommy spoke to her...

No. No. Don't let anyone call him.

I'm going to go there.

I'll go back there and I'll see him.

He likes me. We have a thing.

I'm just going to tell him

how much I love him and...

We're not going to lose him.

We're not going to lose him. So, okay?

Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Love you.

- Love you too. Bye.

Bye.

There's got to be a cigarette

in this house.

Are you allergic to any medications?

No.

Are you taking any medications?

No.

How many children do you have?

Where you been? Timbuktu?

Sir, I'm sorry. You can't smoke in here

This is a non-smoking facility.

Hey, wait a second. Hey, come back.

Can I get you anything?

My husband just walked out of the room.

He went to smoke a cigarette.

He'll be back.

We have to go.

We have to go to Pine Mountain.

What? Why?

- Wark's signing with Lane Gallery.

- Are you smoking?!

No! Come on, give me the keys. Hurry.

I'll drive.

No. I'll drive. You're too slow.

Oh and Ashley's gone into labor.

They've all gone to the hospital.

What?

What?

It means something.

What?

Family.

Can I drop you off, George? Please.

I don't understand why you don't know

how much this means to me.

Do you want me to lose him?

Because I will.

And they won't take care of him.

You know that.

And actually, he's why we're here

in the first place.

We wouldn't be here

if it wasn't for him.

I know.

You need to be there, I agree with that,

but I just don't think it's my place.

I think it is.

OK.

I'll leave you when

we're closer to him now.

I'll leave you there

and go back to the hospital.

Really?

Are you sure?

If that's what you want.

If that's what you think is right.
