Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story Page #5

- Okay.

Take my hand, Dewey.

Let's promise to never, ever give in

to our lesser desires.

After all, we're not married.

I'm ready for sex.

I been waiting for this for so long.

Me too.

From the moment I laid eyes on you.

Oh, my.

Dewey, I'm nervous.

Don't worry, angel.

I'll show you the ways of love.

Whoops-a-daisy.

Oh, Dewey.

Surprise!

Edith!

- Who are you?

- I'm his wife, that's who I am.

No, you're not. I'm his...

- Good Lord, you're already married?

- I can explain.

Explain to her? You should explain

to me. I am the mother of your children.

- It's not what it looks like.

- Children?

It's not what it looks like.

Not what it looks like to me,

or not what it looks like to her?

It's gotta be the way it looks like

to at least one of us.

We're married.

I did the right thing.

It's not like we're not married.

If you're married,

you can't get married again.

I know, I know, and that was wrong,

but it's just...

We were such good friends.

You told me about that dream

where you were licking my balls...

...and that seemed like a signal,

and...

I forgot.

I'm leaving you, Dewey Cox,

and I will see you in court!

No, Edith! Don't go!

Oh, well. She's gone now.

I'm leaving too. You got the order

of things all backwards.

Darlene, don't go!

Edith, don't go either!

I made a mistake.

I made a terrible mistake.

Edith! Edith! Edith!

- Leave me alone, Dewey.

- I never meant no harm to you.

Edith. Cupcake.

Baby, you don't know what it's like out

there on the road. It's Lonely out there.

Edith, I can't be alone.

Maybe you should've thought of that

before you got double married.

Is that what this is about?

Don't you stand there and judge me

like I'm some kind of criminal.

You are a criminal.

This is illegal, Dewey.

What do you mean?

It's illegal to be married to two people

at the same time, Dewey.

What about if you're famous?

Is that...?

You never done nothing

you shouldn't have done?

What have I ever done?

You woke up in the middle

of the night and drank the milk.

I got up to have my cornflakes,

there's none left.

Dewey, you cheated on me!

So I'm a cheater,

but you can just drink up all the milk.

Okay. All right, that's fine, I get it.

You're innocent, and I'm guilty.

Guilty as charged.

Guilty as charged

Don't you dare write a song

right now, Dewey!

You know what? Go ahead.

Take the children. I don't care.

All I need is my music.

I don't need you.

And I don't need you.

And I don't need you.

And I don't need you.

You're just sitting there

all high and mighty in your diaper.

If anything, you need me.

You're a baby.

Come on, Miles.

Don't you dare take Miles.

You can take the children,

but you leave me my monkey.

Fine.

Goodbye, Dewey Cox.

No! No, come back.

Don't leave me, Edith.

"Don't leave me, Edith."

There's a title for a song.

That's not a bad title,

but please don't leave me.

What have you done?

I'm telling you, I've had it.

I've had it with all this crap.

You took her side every time.

All you care about is fruit

and touching yourself. Well, f*** you.

Get out of here.

You don't want no part of this.

- What y'all doing in here?

- We doing pills, uppers and downers.

They're the logical next step for you.

I want some of that sh*t.

Good morning, Your Honor.

May I approach the bench?

I don't give a damn

What anyone thinks

I stay up all night

And I smoke and I drink

I'm a wanted man

And I'm blowin' town

Don't waste your time

Tryin' to hunt me down

The cops are sayin'

I belong behind bars

And I'm guilty

Guilty

I'm guilty as charged

Does Dewey seem unhappy to you?

He's changed, I tell you,

he's changed.

That was early Dewey,

this is middle Dewey.

Dewey, are you enjoying yourself?

What? Oh, I'm sorry.

I forgot you were here.

Hey, Dave. I like your girl better,

let's switch.

- Well, Dewey, this is my wife.

- Oh, nice to meet you.

Well, this is Kathy.

Kathy, this is Dave.

Come on, darling.

So where you from?

Hi there.

Guilty

I'm guilty as charged

I ain't askin' God to forgive my sins

Take a good look

And you'll know where I've been

I'm dancin' with the devil

Every night and every day

People pay attention to the things

That I say

Say

Hey, Jerry, I'm a long-time listener

and a first-time caller.

Yeah, I just wanted to say

I love the show, keep it up.

Am I on the radio right now?

I'm guilty as charged

If you're sayin' my love is too large

Then I'm guilty

Goddamn it,

this is a dark f***ing period!

Oh, I'm guilty

- Freeze! Hands above your head.

- It's not what it looks like.

I'm guilty as charged

Stop!

You got me.

Come on, Mr. Cox. How about it?

Look here.

I'm guilty as charged

Cox, you got a visitor.

Prison has changed me.

I understand the common man

in a way I never did before.

I gotta get out of here, so I can

bring joy to the men back in here.

But I don't wanna live with them.

Lean closer.

I'm going to speak to you

in my language...

...so that the guards can't understand

what I'm saying.

There must be something you can do.

I'm 21 years old.

I got my whole life ahead of me...

We think we can get you off.

What do I have to do?

You gotta go to rehab.

- "Rehab"?

- Rehab.

- Rehab?

- Oh, rehab. Okay, okay, I gotcha.

Doctor! Doctor!

- I'm so cold.

- We need more blankets.

We need more blankets.

Doctor!

- I'm so hot!

- I think he has too many blankets.

Fewer blankets!

I'm hot and cold at the same time!

He needs more blankets

and he needs less blankets.

I'm afraid you're right.

Dewey?

My wife sends her love...

...a**hole.

Dewey, tall and powerful

Dewey, I don't know if you can

hear me in there...

...but the wrong kid died.

Dewey. Do you mind

if we get stoned in here?

He can't hear you.

He's gonna die anyway.

Are you ready to go home,

Dewey Cox?

Darlene.

I could never get you

out of my head.

Me neither.

I could never stop

thinking about you.

But I wasn't gonna be

no home wrecker.

Now that I'm your only wife though,

it seems different.

I'm a new man, Darlene.

Prison and rehab have changed me.

All these blankets

have saved my life.

I think you're finally ready to be

the man I always thought you could be.

Let me get this off.

I love you.

I love you too.

Oh, my God.

Oh, don't stop.

Don't stop. Don't stop, Dewey.

Oh, God.

Oh, yes!

Hey, boys, have you seen Dewey?

I think I saw him in the barn

with Wavy Gravy

I saw him by the creek

talking to Donovan.

No, I think he was painting

a portrait with Joni Mitchell.

Jerry Garcia, brother,

have you seen Dewey?

I think I saw him in the study,

Sister Darlene.

Thanks, Jerry Garcia.

Hey! Casey, Jones,

watch your speed.

Come on, Dewey. It's almost time

for Dewman's cake.

All right. It's just... It's hard for me

to sit around at some birthday party...

...when I know there's so much

injustice going on in this world.

- I know.

- My daddy was right.

I can't spend all my time

thinking about Dewey Cox no more.
