or I'll call the police.

I don't think you will. Our meeting

last night clued me into you.

Is this extra dry?

My hair's awful sensitive.

I don't care about your hair.

Just get your dog and go!

How can I do that, when it says,

"Wait three minutes after conditioning

or your hair will be unmanageable"?

If you've got any ideas about going near

that phone, I might walk out on the lawn.

Naked. Bare-ass naked.

You wouldn't want that, would you?

It's a beautiful day. Isn't it?

You had your chance,

but you didn't run away, did you?

No, I didn't.

And you didn't call the police either.

No, I didn't.

Why not, do you suppose?

I hope you don't mind, but

I helped myself to a bottle of champagne.

I try not to drink during the day,

but, this bein' a special occasion,

I figured what the hell?

You frighten me.

I understand. I'm sorry I had to

come into your house like this,

but since I'm only gonna be in town a day

or so that doesn't give us much time.

And... I knew you wouldn't mind.

Let's go over there,

sit on the couch.

And get to know one another.

You're the cockiest

son of a b*tch I've ever met.

I'm not really.

I just like to hear myself talk.

And I like beautiful things.

And a woman like you

comes along only once in a lifetime.

- Bullshit.

- I swear.

When I leave...

I'd like you to give me

a bottle of your perfume.

And as I'm driving from town to town,

I'll put a little on my hand,

right there,

I'll bring it up to my nose and

every time I smell it I'll remember you

and how beautiful you are.

You got a mole on your shoulder.

Looks like a little kiss.

Help me if you don't have beautiful skin.

You smell so good.

I can't keep my hands off of you.

I was gonna come and just have a shower

and a nice, hot cup of coffee, but...

you excite me so much

I can't help myself.

Nothing like this has ever

happened to me before.

Oh, boy.

There it is.

I went to a store in the Mojave,

out in California.

A man there taught me

how to use one of these.

Thought for sure I was gonna buy one.

Told me he shot a video

of his wife playin' with herself.

Can you imagine that? A total stranger

tellin' me something like that?

Look, there you are on TV.

How about a little smile?

You don't feel like smiling?

I can understand that.

But, April, darlin'...

I didn't just show up here by mistake.

You invited me.

You might not know it, but you did.

It's all right there in your eyes.

April? It's me, baby.

I just spoke to

the real-estate agent in Tuscaloosa.

The condo's ours. Congratulations.

I'm gonna stay a few more days to make

sure everything's perfect when we arrive.

I love you, baby. Big kiss.

Bye.

April, honey.

Let me look at you.

You'll be the prettiest bride since

your grandma walked down that staircase

on her daddy's arms.

We got that photograph of you

and that handsome beau of yours

just dancing away at the sorority ball.

Wait a minute.

Belle, got a surprise for you.

- Look who come to visit.

- I can see.

April, honey, how wonderful of you

to come out all this way just to see us.

Are those flowers for me?

Do I smell freesias? My favourite.

I picked them fresh on the way over.

- How thoughtful of you.

- I watched you drive in.

I see your daddy bought you

a new car for graduation.

It's for graduation and the wedding.

Chad's parents bought him a red one.

I can still see that Lincoln convertible

that Belle's daddy bought

for her graduation.

It was white, and it had

the softest tan-leather upholstery

you ever laid your eyes on.

April, you turned out

to be a beautiful young woman.

Belle and I are so proud of you.

Thank you.

Come here and tell me, child.

Have you tamed Chad yet?

And don't you do it, either.

Just keep him wild as long as you can.

You're incorrigible, Grandma.

Don't you Grandma me, April.

You know very well

what I'm talking about.

I've been watching you at parties and

with boys ever since you were a little girl,

and I might say you come by it naturally.

I know I seem so sure of myself.

But sometimes...

I get this feeling inside, Belle,

and I'm so scared.

I really find that hard to believe, April.

When I was your age,

I was expecting a baby.

That was the year my father died

and everything fell on my shoulders.

And your grandfather, rest his soul,

he wasn't much help to me.

But he was the most handsome

and virile man in the county.

And every woman that set

her eyes on him wanted him.

So I disciplined myself

to play the cards that life dealt me.

And you never had second thoughts?

Second thoughts are a luxury I've never

afforded myself. And neither should you.

It's just everything's moving so fast.

I feel that I haven't had

enough time for me.

Delilah, if my mom or anyone else calls,

could you tell them I'm here,

but that I'm out taking a walk?

I just don't feel like goin' home just yet.

April.

I don't know if your father told you,

but I'm arranging for you

to have this house after I'm gone.

This house and the property

from here to Two Moon Junction.

I don't know what to say.

Well, there'll be a trust to take care

of the taxes and general maintenance.

All I need you to do is to make sure

that when your time comes,

you see that it stays in the family.

Can you do that for me, April?

Of course.

And I also wanna say how proud I am that

you've chosen to wear my wedding dress.

You deserve it, honey.

You deserve it.

Earl? It's Belle.

Belle, how are you, sugar?

I'd like you to do

a little somethin' for me.

No problem. I'll keep an eye on her.

Remember, save me

a dance at that weddin'.

Excuse me.

You from Welcome Wagon?

- I'm looking for the other man.

- What other man?

I'm the only man. The last one left.

The rest are gone.

If I find me a good woman, I'm goin', too.

The other man. Perry.

D'you know where he is?

Oh, him. Do you know he got run over

by a train, lost both his legs?

He died this morning.

Bye.

Any liquor in your purse?

No.

You got some money.

Go get me some.

Go with her.

Bourbon. Get me some bourbon.

Go on.

Don't pay any attention to him.

He's just drunk.

Maybe she's right.

Maybe I should come back

when you're feeling better.

Bourbon.

Get me some bourbon.

You f***ing a**hole.

What the hell am I doing here?

He does have a certain charm

about him when he's not like this.

What are you gonna do? Let's just

go get the son of a b*tch some liquor.

Come on, keep me company.

Come on, Tom, get in the back.

Ever been in one of these before?

- No, never.

- You're gonna like it. It's a little bumpy.

I can't stand them when they get drunk.

You never want to mess with them

when they get that way.

You just gotta ride it out.

But if they ain't drunk, they're dull.

I'm glad you came along.

He was driving me crazy.

Got a cigarette?

I left mine in my purse.

- I don't smoke.

- F*** you, d*ckhead!

I wish I had your discipline. I tried to quit

once and I thought "I'll die soon anyway."

- What'd you say your name was? April?
