Sweet Dreams Page #7

Synopsis: Patsy Cline was the first female solo artist to be elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Thirty-two years after her untimely death in a plane crash in Tennessee, her "Greatest Hits" album sold over six million copies. Loved by her fans today as much - if not more - than she was at the height of her fame, the life, the loves and most of all the voice of Patsy Cline is legendary. This film tells the story of the passionate, fun-loving, soft-spoken, loud-living life of one of country music's - and one of popular music's - greatest singing stars. This film covers the years 1956 through 1963, from her rise to fame and the top of the charts through TB talent shows and country bars - through her turbulent marriage to Charlie Dick and the demands of touring which would lead to the fatal plane crash.

I thought the whole

house was falling down.

I turned around, he'd shot

hisself in the head.

Sweet Jesus!

I sat on my bed for five days.

Wouldn't talk to nobody.

Wouldn't go to his funeral.

On the fifth day, I got up,

went out the door.

And I never looked back.

Just keep on movin'.

Know what I mean?

Just keep on movin'.

I can't seem to find anything in

my life to hold on to anymore.

It's like everything is

falling down around me.

I say to myself, " I don't have

to lead that trashy dog's life...

that my daddy led my mama.

I can make things different.

I can make it right."

And look at me. Here I am,

my face busted up.

Calling the cops in the

middle of the night.

And my kid saw it all!

Mama, I don't know

what to do anymore.

I don't know whether

to divorce him or not.

All I know is I can't

keep him outta the house

like this forever.

This is your baby.

You have to rock it.

Hell! I'm not asking for your

goddamn eyeteeth! I was asking

for your opinion.

You're talking to your

mama. You keep a civil

tongue in your head.

Yeah?

Oh, no, Randy, not a big show!

All right.

Christ on the cross!

I don't believe it.

I got recording sessions Friday.

Now I gotta do a benefit for that

disc jockey that died last month.

Tell him you're wore out.

I'm sorry I snapped at you.

If that's the worst thing

that ever happens to me.

You still like me?

Now and then.

You love me?

Sometimes.

Tell me what to do with my life.

I've got your picture

That you gave to me

And it's signed "With love"

Just like it used to be

Hey! Whoa! Charlie.

Where are you goin'?

I'm gonna talk to my

wife. Hold on a second.

What do you want, Charlie?

I want to talk to you.

It's all right.

Everybody, take five.

Kill Patsy's mike.

God, Charlie, don't.

I'm sorry.

I did wrong.

I will never raise a hand

to you again. I swear it.

I know you're thinkin'

of leavin' me.

I swear to God, I don't think

I could take it.

I don't know.

Can't we try and

make it right again?

If you want a definite

answer right this minute,

the answer is no.

I don't know if I can

live with you anymore.

Sweet dreams

Of you

Every night

I go through

Why can't I forget you

And start my life anew

Instead of having sweet dreams

About you

You don't love me

It's plain

I should know

I'll never wear your ring

I should hate you

The whole night through

Instead of having sweet dreams

About you

Sweet dreams

Of you

Things I know

Can't come true

Why can't I forget the past

Start loving someone new

Instead of having

Sweet dreams

About you

Thank you.

Tony, I gotta take a pee!

Pretty Boy Floyd!

Get this boy one.

He's been on bread and water.

Give me a drink.

I've been in the jail.

You drink any more, you'll wish

you was dead when you wake up.

Where was it you left

your ball and chain?

In my private room in

prison. Take a walk.

Charlie, finish this and

let's get outta here,

find us a couple of girlies.

That's one thing I do not

need. I got that already.

Can everybody hear me?

I got me a wife.

She is hard to handle and as

contrary as a hog on ice.

That ain't half of it.

You guys ain't got no

idea what it's like...

to be rubbing up against

something that dangerous.

That's what I like

about the South

Mama, hi!

We're still at the

airport. The weather bad?

Yeah. We've spent the

whole damn night here...

but the first spot of good

weather we'll take off.

How are my babies?

Just fine. Charlie came

by the house with two

quarts of ice cream.

He did? He said he

missed seeing them.

I knew he couldn't stay away.

He hadn't had a thing

to drink. Good as gold.

Hell, Charlie's always

good. Except when he isn't.

You just hurry home.

Give those babies sugar

for me. Of course.

Let's go! Hot dog! This beats

the hell out of drivin'!

Let's get this show on the road.

Looks like we might be

in for a little fun.

A little turbulence.

Right tank's empty.

Switching over.

Oh, boy! What the

hell's goin' on?

What's the matter with this?

Gotta drop the nose. Hold on.

Kick it over.

Come on, baby. Come on!

Catch on!

Come on, baby.

It started. Oh, Lord, thank you!

Attaboy, Randy.

I almost peed my pants.

I did pee in mine.

My God!

You can't work and take

care of two babies.

Look at me.

I'll take the kids

with me for a while.

I'll be good to them.

I know it.

I know it.
