Painted Woman Page #3

Now, come early so we can look

at getting her into a dress.

Come on.

Don't be late.

Well, have a good time.

She can be a bit much.

I thought she was nice.

Thought you were taking me

to Potter's Crossing tomorrow.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess I was.

Maybe we can go from there.

Yeah, we can.

Well, I'd best get back

to getting these horses

ready then.

Almost there.

Almost.

There you are.

Mm-hmm.

When you were

a girl you did that?

How did you wear it?

- Just like this.

- Just like this?

Wait till Vince

gets a load of you.

There.

Done.

Well? What do you think?

Beautiful. Beautiful.

- Thank you, Ms. Ellie.

- You are welcome.

Let's go show Vince.

Vince?

- You look...

- I already told her that.

You look pretty.

We're late.

Go on, now.

Now, Buffer,

we are at a wedding,

so remember to mind

your manners, all right?

Stay with me until

they introduce everybody...

Buffer Dee Anderson!

Why does he keep

running ahead like that?

He's just a boy.

He'll be fine.

I think he sees his friends.

[indistinct chatter]

So good to see you.

It's so good to see you.

Oh, I brought some pie

for the bride.

Go ahead.

Go help your mama.

How are you all doing?

Good to see you.

- You ready for this?

- Are you?

I'm not. Not that you care.

[warm music]

Told you he's the most

eligible around here.

You all right?

I now pronounce these

two man and wife.

[applause]

[drumbeat]

I got a pig home in a pen,

corn-fed and all

And all I need

is a pretty little girl

To feed him when I'm gone

Feed him when I'm gone, boys,

feed him when I'm gone

And all I need's

a pretty little girl

To feed him when I'm gone

Won't you make them

biscuits, bake them, baby

Bake them good and brown

When I get them biscuits,

baby, we're Alabama bound

I got a pig home in a pen,

corn-fed and all

And all I need's

a pretty little girl

To feed him when I'm gone

Feed him when I'm gone, boys,

feed him when I'm gone

And all I need's

a pretty little girl

To feed him when I'm gone

So many happy people.

That's how it is here.

Would you dance with me?

Now, I'm gonna have

to ask Miss Julie.

Would you mind if I danced

with Miss Molly?

- Of course not.

- Dark clouds are rising

See my Nelly came

When I get on back into town,

I call sweet Liza Jane

I got a pig home in a pen,

corn-fed and all

And all I need's

a pretty little girl

To feed him when I'm gone

Won't you feed him

when I'm gone, boys

Feed him when I'm gone

And all I need's a pretty

Little girl to feed him

when I'm gone

Won't you feed him

when I'm gone, boys

Feed him when I'm gone

And all I need's

a pretty little girl...

Go over to your pa now.

Won't you feed him

when I'm gone, boys

Feed him when I'm gone

And all I need's

a pretty little girl

To feed him when I'm gone

Vince told me he's taking you

to Potter's Crossing.

Yes, tomorrow.

Why are you going there?

To catch a stagecoach.

That's what he said,

but I thought that was odd

since he knows

there's a stagecoach

there every day.

He could have taken you

there days ago.

Guess he wants

to keep you around.

Well, bake them biscuits

Bake them, baby,

bake them good and brown

And when I get them biscuits,

baby, we're Alabama bound

And I got a pig home

in a pen, corn-fed and all

And all I need's

a pretty little girl

To feed him when I'm gone

Won't you feed him

when I'm gone, boys

Feed him when I'm gone

And all I need's

a pretty little girl

To feed him when I'm gone

Won't you feed him

when I'm gone, boys

Feed him when I'm gone

And all I need's

a pretty little girl

To feed him when I'm gone

All I need's a

pretty little girl

To feed him when I'm gone

Losing my silver,

I'm losing my gold

You're the jack of hearts

I ain't gonna fold

Our story is yet to be told

Our story is yet to be told

May I have this one?

Well, I used to feel like

The ace of spades

When I watched you dancing

while the boys and I played

Our story,

it started that way

Our story, it started

that way

Oh, I'm sorry your cowboy's

too dizzy to dance

I never danced before.

He's too stoned

on whiskey

For late-night romance

Neither have I.

Without the jack

of hearts

He don't stand a chance

Well, I used to feel...

So Molly got

your first dance?

Like the ace of spades

I guess she did.

...while the boys

and I played

Our story,

it started that way

Our story, it started

that way

I'm... I'm really glad

we did this.

Oh, I'm sorry your

cowboy's...

Me too.

He's too stoned on whiskey

for late-night romance

Without the jack of hearts

he don't stand a chance

[ominous music]

I'm losing my silver,

I'm losing my gold

I want to ask you something.

You're the jack of hearts

I ain't gonna fold

Would you...

Our story is yet

to be told

Our story is yet to be told

Would you consider staying?

Well, I used to feel

like the ace of spades

When I watched you dancing

while the boys and I played

Our story, it

started that way

Our story,

it started that way

[screams]

All right, all right.

This woman...

is a runaway whore

who

I've been sent to retrieve.

Now, I kindly ask

that you all allow me

to return her

to the punishment she deserves.

Let her go.

No!

Vince, no!

Hang on.

- [rasping]

- No, Vince!

[chortling]

Oh, really, now?

[overlapping screams]

Somebody get Vince.

[fly buzzing]

Mustanger, hold on.

Yes.

I'll live with you.

I'll live with you.

Just stay.

[rasping]

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

[sobs]

[melancholy music]

[flies buzzing]

Thank you, Vince Wagner.

I made this for you.

That's Vince's.

You know, when you first came,

I had a vision of you.

In my culture there's this

story, the Changing Woman.

You're her.

And however

many steps you take,

grow.

I will.

[dramatic music]

[clock chiming]

[pistol clicks]

What are you doing here?

[laughing]

What, are you gonna shoot me?

[laughing]

[screaming]

[evocative music]

I'm losing my silver

I'm losing my gold

You're the jack of hearts

I ain't gonna fold
