Sweet Dreams Page #6

The Queen of Sheba.

Say you already bought

it? I paid down on it.

Why didn't you tell me?

I wanted to surprise you.

You surprised me.

The best thing we can do

with our money is put it

in bricks and mortar.

That show went on

forever last night...

and every minute of it

shows in my face today.

I'm glad we saved "Crazy"

till the end. I think it

made a great encore.

You love Charlie?

What?

You love him?

Oh, come on. I couldn't

get along without Charlie.

How's that song go?

" He may have been a headache,

but he never was a bore."

That's Charlie.

Is that an answer?

I think Charlie and I

deserve each other.

Looks like Charlie might be

throwing you a little party.

Sure does. Take care.

I'll see you at the

session. All right.

Try and get a little sleep

between now and Friday.

Nightynight. Good night.

Miss Patsy Cline! In person!

My baby's home!

We're having a party.

I see.

Did you see my new car?

I bought an old clunker to

drive in the demo derby.

How are you?

You know most everybody.

This is Cindy.

John and Sarah from work.

That there's...

I don't know who that is.

This is Skip. He sold me that

car. I'm glad to meet you.

Nice to meet you. Think I'll

get myself a beer.

How'd it go tonight? All right.

This your date, Otis?

Lucky man. Yeah, goddamn it.

Help yourself to food in there.

Bought a bunch of Chinese.

Let's us dance one.

Come on. Don't be such

an old wet blanket.

Oh! No fair. We gotta

wait for the next one.

I'm going to bed. I'm so tired.

That girl I was dancing with goes

with that guy from the derby.

Obviously you got me mixed up

with someone who gives a sh*t.

Come on. There you go.

That's Goldilocks and the

Three Bears. Take your book.

Oh, how's my big boy?

You are the most

beautiful little boy.

Here we go.

Fell right on your

butt. Take your bottle.

Hey, kiddo.

Hope you're rested.

Otis wants us to go out after

the demo derby tonight.

Darling, I'm so tired,

I feel like I'm

walking on stumps.

I gotta sing there tonight.

I don't feel like walking

off the stage and taking

a busman's holiday.

What's a busman's holiday?

A guy drives a bus,

he doesn't want to take a

bus ride for his vacation.

Hell. It's too hard to explain.

I understood it.

You getting awful goddamn

fancy all of a sudden.

Yeah?

Here comes another

paycheck for Charlie.

Crazy

Crazy for feelin'

So lonely

I'm crazy

Crazy for feelin' so blue

You didn't finish that.

"And the cow jumped...

Over the moon.

Three little bears

sittin' in their chairs."

Better start gettin' ready.

We got time. Not that much.

"And a pair of mittens."

You're not dressed yet.

I get dressed faster than you.

No, you don't. White?

What? White.

What are you talking about?

Want to see if you say "black."

"A quiet old lady who

was whispering 'Hush."'

Blue moon of Kentucky

Keep on ashinin'

Shine on the one that's

gone and left me blue

Love said goodbye I said

Blue moon of Kentucky

Keep on ashinin'

Shinin' bright

Whisperin' on high till

lovers said goodbye

I said blue moon

Come on, baby, treat me right.

I'm gonna get you!

Baby, baby. Be good to me.

What happened? That's not

supposed to happen.

I was lookin' for you.

I ain't been hidin' nowhere.

Wanna dance? Yeah, later.

You should've seen Charlie.

His clunker is still burnin'.

Why don't you take a busman's

holiday? Go sing another song.

Sit down.

Baby, let's dance.

I'm gettin' thirsty.

I don't know about you, Otis.

I'll be right back.

You want to leave?

Hey, you.

B*tch!

What the hell you think you're

doing? Same question back to you.

I was just talkin' to her. Me,

too. I'm just talkin' to them.

How old is she anyhow?

She said she's 24.

Ask her how old she is

counting the years she

went barefoot on the farm.

You got a mean mouth.

I'd like to pull your tongue

with a pair of pliers.

I'm takin' a pee.

I'm warnin' you. You set your

ass down at my table. You hear?

Don't you warn me!

You spend the evening rubbing

up against some tramp,

I'll do whatever I please.

You will, will you? I'll walk out

with the first guy.

I'd like to see you

try. You just watch me.

This is it right over here.

I get Patsy Cline on my

cycle, all she wants is

coffee and a ride home.

You're a real gent. Just my luck.

Thanks a lot. No problem.

Well, the slut's home.

Came home to see the pig.

Where's that guy?

Had him let me off

about a block away.

We just talked. You're a whore.

Let's not call each other

names. It don't do no good.

We still gotta wake up tomorrow,

and look each other in the face.

I ain't having no more

nights when my wife goes

off with another man.

Don't tell me what you

will or will not have.

I looked at you tonight and

thought, "God help you, Patsy.

No matter how hard you try

to make things right...

goodtime Charlie keeps

dragging you back down!"

Don't whine about me!

Where are you when the kids

want oatmeal in the morning?

Where are you when Julie pukes

in bed? You sure ain't here!

You lie!

You never changed a shitty

diaper in your life...

between Mama, Madrine and me!

That's right, I'm not here!

I'm singing in every sh*t house

between here and Kansas City...

so you can wear $30 silk shirts!

Yeah? Take the goddamn thing!

Take it!

You lay down for that

guy tonight? Don't ask.

I'm askin', slut.

Yes, I did! I did!

It was great. It was wonderful.

It was better than it's been

with you.

We're gonna get married,

Mr. Motorcycle man and me.

Come here. Stand up!

Stop it! Stop!

Goddamn it!

Shut up!

Mama?

Oh, God, baby, go back to bed.

Regarding that family

disturbance, unit 17 has

that in hand.

Trade me an eye for one

of them cigarettes?

What are you in here for?

Had an argument with my wife.

I fell asleep in a doorway.

Put them there. You can have

one whenever you want it.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

You look like you got the

whole world on your shoulders.

You give me a cigarette,

these questions go with

it, you can have it back.

I just thought we'd

pass the time.

Go ahead and take it.

You only got one.

It's all right.

I smoke too much anyway.

Thank you.

Sleep light, don't you?

Just like my old man.

He smoked Camels, too.

He started when he

was nine years old.

There he was, nine years

old, in the fourth grade...

still wearing knickers.

Get up in the morning,

he'd have a cup of coffee

and a cigarette...

right at the breakfast

table, big as you please.

He was a pisscutter,

my old man was.

He always could make me laugh.

I never knew who my daddy was.

I don't think Mama did either.

My daddy's six feet tall...

when six feet tall was big.

Had this real high voice.

Could walk halfway around

the block on his hands.

One morning I was getting

ready for school.

My daddy stayed home from

work, he was at the kitchen

table smoking Camels...

one right after the other,

he was eatin' them.

I went to get corn flakes

out of the cupboard...

and heard this noise.
