-Hi, Charlotte.

-Hey.

So you two running from the law?

Not quite.

Me and my good friend here...

...we're driving

across this great country of ours.

That's great. Enjoy life while you can.

You can say that again.

-So how'd you all meet up?

-You sure ask a lot of questions.

-We're friendly around these parts.

-Well, if you must know...

...my husband was doing a

developmental deal in an urban area...

...and she refused to sell.

So he sent me in

to sweet-talk her into it.

l've never met anybody

as strong-willed in all my life.

We've been friends ever since.

That was 30 years ago.

-She's seen me through two divorces.

-Three.

-Three?

-Three.

Oh, right. l tried to forget that one.

Well, Miss Three-Time-Divorced

Little Lady...

...will you dance with me?

-Why, l don't mind if l do, cowboy.

-Thank you, ma'am.

Don't let him be number four.

Hey, you wanna dance?

You know how to holy dance?

The holy dance? No. No, l don't.

l didn't think you did, either.

Keep on stepping.

Yeah, l know.

Hey. Chris, right?

Yeah. Yeah, you know what?

Have you seen my wife?

No, l haven't.

Maybe she's with William.

Who's William?

l'm calling you a taxi.

You've had too much to drink.

-No. l'm good.

-No, you're not good.

l'm trying to help you here.

Help you keep your job.

Oh, okay. Fine, then.

l mean, all l'm doing is

just a little drinking.

lt's not like l'm upstairs with William

like Andrea is...

...with my husband looking for me.

You know what l'm saying?

Time to go.

Your husband's been talking to banks

about starting his own company.

And people have told me

that he's tried to contact...

...some of our competition for help.

Well...

...he can be persistent.

Yeah, well, l don't like it.

lt's not good for business.

So l'm gonna fire him.

Good.

More ammunition for me to leave him.

-You are evil, you know that?

-You love it.

Excuse me, Mrs. Cartwright.

Have you seen my wife?

She's with my husband.

-You enjoying yourself?

-Yes. Yeah, l am.

Baby, where in the hell

have you been?

He needed some files.

Come on, let's go.

You left the party early, Jillian.

Do you love her?

What did you say?

Do you love...

...her?

l love you.

You won't even answer my question.

l answered your question.

Good morning.

Where we at?

You said just go west,

and we going west.

Oh, l tell you...

...these seats aren't as comfortable

as they were when l was a girl.

Because you was always

on your back in them.

Listen to you.

-Charlotte.

-Yeah.

-This trip about both of us, ain't it?

-Yeah.

Well, it's my turn, darling.

-There is no way.

-Oh, way.

-Alice.

-Come on, trust me.

You don't even know

what denomination they are.

lt don't matter what denomination

you are if it's about God.

-Don't pull in so close. No, Alice.

-lt's okay.

No. Alice. We're gonna get

in such trouble.

-What?

-Come on, let's go. Come on.

Alice. No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.

Be quiet. Be very quiet.

Let's just stand in the back.

Let's just stand in the back.

Come on. No, no. Come on. No, Alice.

lt's a sin to cut in front

of all these people.

They let the big sinners up.

-Hallelujah.

-Hallelujah.

Pastor, me and my friend

were just driving across country...

...and she ain't never been baptized.

And we was just wondering--

l know why you're here.

Come on, child.

You kidding me? This is St. John.

lt's named after Saint John the Baptist.

Come on.

-Wade in the water, Charlotte.

-Wait, wait, wait.

-lt's okay. Come on. Get in there.

-l'm gonna break my neck.

Go on.

What about your heavy glasses?

Too late.

Get in.

Don't let go.

lt's freezing.

-Hallelujah.

-Hallelujah.

Grab my arm. Grab my arm.

Alice Evans, l need a drink.

-No, you don't.

-No, you go to hell.
