Sweet Dreams

It's a red light!

Hang on to your seat!

Charlie! I can't believe

you did that.

You scared me half to death!

I can't open my door.

How am I supposed to get out?

You said you wanted

to go to this dance.

I do want to go to the dance.

I just didn't think...

Hi, Charlie. Nice parking job.

This is gonna cost me $2.00.

Hi. Hello.

You're looking pretty. Thank you.

You look nice yourself.

Look who's here!

Your favorite from the Rainbow

Road, Miss Patsy Cline.

Howdy. You all havin'

a good time? Yeah!

This is a Bob Wills' tune

that I picked special

just to sing to you.

Deep within my

heart lies a melody

A song of old San Antone

Where in dreams I

live with a memory

Beneath the stars all alone

Well, it was there I found

Beside the Alamo

Enchantment strange

as the blue up above

On that moonlit pass

that only he would know

Still hears my

broken song of love

That's Cline?

Patsy Cline. Right.

Why don't I know her?

Damned if I know.

She sings at the Rainbow Road?

On weekends, yeah.

Lips so sweet and tender

like petals fallin' apart

Thanks for bringing me,

Charlie. Speak once again

Of my love, my own

Broken song Empty words I know

Shall live in my heart all alone

For that moonlit pass

She went to school

with my brother.

They used to say,

" Don't dare Patsy if

you don't want it done."

And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

She's got real nice tits.

And she's married,

Bozo. You lose.

Thank you.

Stop it! You're such a geek!

Hi. Hi.

I want you to get your coat.

I wanna drive you someplace

for a drink. I want us to

dance a while.

Then I want us to get to know

each other a lot better.

You want a lot, don't you?

Yeah, I do, baby.

Well, people in hell want

ice water. That don't

mean they get it.

Patsy, you never did.

I did so. I looked him right

in the eye and said...

"People in hell want ice water.

That don't mean they get it."

Who was he? Some clown

with hot britches.

Lord, I do get tired of men

sometimes, always pawin'

and snortin' around.

They after you all the

time when you were my age?

I don't know.

Were they, Mama?

Tell me. Stop it.

Quit, Patsy.

Back when I was in high school

and had a better shape...

there was this boy

named Teddy Welloff.

Had gray eyes with

coal black eyelashes.

This is way before

I met your daddy.

May he rot in hell. Don't speak

like that about Daddy.

Anyway, at lunch we'd all

go in the cloakroom to

get our dinner buckets.

Every day this Teddy

Welloff used to brush his

front up against me...

when I was bent over.

That's the truth.

Wait, there's more.

One day, I took my

ink pen with me.

That thing had a real

sharp point on it.

I never looked at him

the rest of the day...

but there was egg salad sandwich

all over that cloakroom.

That boy walked funny for a week.

I'm gonna pee my pants.

You gonna come in for a while?

Is Gerald still up?

It looks like it.

No, honey, I better go

on home. You chicken!

I'll be over for Sunday dinner.

Bye.

Nightynight.

Good night, baby.

I'm home.

How'd it go?

Well, I only made $25.

I did real good I

think. That's nice.

I sang "San Antonio Rose."

I've been gone all evening.

Don't you want to talk to me?

Say "Kiss my ass" or something?

Sorry, honey.

How'd it go tonight?

You already asked me that.

Ask me something else?

Come on, let's have

a conversation.

Notice anything different?

I finished the riggin'.

Patsy, why are you always

pushing at me so hard?

I don't know.

Just hoping for a fight,

or a laugh or something.

I don't want to fight

with you. I'm not mad.

I can't stand it. Makes me want

to scream and claw my face.

What should I do?

You didn't ask me how to

get into this marriage.

I don't think you ought to

ask me how to get out of it.

Is he mean to you? No.

Does he drink? Gamble?

Does he chase the women?

Then what?

Come on, girl. Speak the

truth and shame the devil.

God as my witness, I don't know!

I laid in bed and thought,

" Sh*t! What if I was blind

or didn't have my legs?"

You watch that mouth.

Mom, I'm home.

I'm starvin'.

There's lunch made,

but don't spoil your dinner.

Say hello to your sister before

you worry about your belly.

I don't know, Mama.

My life ain't so bad.

I got a decent house,

a man who loves me.

I've even sung on

television four times.

Tell me. Why do I have to

force myself to get out

of bed every mornin'?

You always was hard to

keep satisfied, even when

you was little.

I'm not talking about

when I was three.

I'm asking you what

I should do now.

Maybe you should scream and claw

your face. See if that'll help.

I said blue moon of

Kentucky keep on ashinin'

Shine on the one that's

gone and left me blue

Blue moon of Kentucky

keep on ashinin'

Shine on the one that's

gone and left me blue

It was on one moonlit night

Stars shining bright

Whispered on high

Love said goodbye

I said blue moon of

Kentucky keep on ashinin'

Shine on the one that's

gone and left me blue

Thank you. Goddamn

woman, you're good!

That b*tch can sing!

I don't know if you

remember me. Take a walk.

I really like the way you sing.

What were you doing while I sang?

You think that's funny?

I was listening.

I don't like the way you

listen. Take a walk.

Hi.

Oh, merciful God.

I want to explain.

It's the creature

that wouldn't die.

I came over here to

explain. He won't go away.

To apologize for messin' you up.

I was just enjoying your singin'.

Now that I get a good

look at Patsy Cline,

she don't look so hot.

I don't care if you have

sung on some halfassed

television program.

You don't sing that good.

You ever listen to a Kitty

Wells record real close?

You'd go home and slit

your goddamn throat.

I've grown so used

to that man somehow

And I'm nobody's sugar baby now

'Cause I'm lonesome

I got the lovesick blues

We're gonna take a

break. Thank you.

Seven and seven.

Last week at the high

school you said you

wanted to buy me a drink.

I want a seven and seven.

A seventyseven.

Well, you've got the

advantage on me.

You know my name,

but I don't know yours.

Charlie.

Charlie Dick.

Dick?

Charlie Dick?

That's right.

What do you want

out of me, Charlie?

You didn't follow me out

to Rainbow Road because

you're a fool for music.

Hell no. I want to get

to know you better.

Okay. What does that mean?

It means I want to get

to know you better.

I figure when you say you want

to get to know me better...

what you mean is you want

a tenminute screw in the

backseat of your car.

Son of a b*tch.

You must think that thing

you got between your legs

is lined with gold.

I can get tail anytime.

I don't have to crawl

after a mean woman who's

got a cob crossways.

If I just want to bump uglies

with somebody, I got plenty

of places to go.

"Bump uglies"? That's right.

My Lord, what a charming

expression.

I just grew up.

My daddy dumped us

when I was about 16.

I haven't seen him since.

But Mom and I did okay.

She couldn't work too much,
