Walk The Line Page #3

Jack in a long time, you know?

After he died, I...

I talked about him all the time...

but, uh... I guess people

grew tired of it.

So I just stopped.

John?

You're tired,

aren't you?

Yeah.

It'll slow down.

It will.

I better get going.

It's good to talk to you.

You, too.

Take care.

I'll see you soon.

You better tune in...

I'm going to sing you

that "Swallerin' Place."

I will, I

really will.

Okay.

That's fine, that's perfect.

Yes, ma'am.

When was the last time you heard him

moving around in there?

I don't know.

Thought you were going

to help me today, John.

You head out tomorrow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Better start living life

here with us when you come home...

before you have to leave again.

Hey, you know, I was thinking.

You know, maybe I could get Bob

to push my dates.

I'm happy

when I'm here.

I like waking up

and seeing your face.

John, those bags over there?

Hmm.

Those letters in there

are ten to one from girls.

Ten to one, and they're obscene.

Reba's been trying

to answer some of them...

but, you know,

half of them ain't even 15...

and they are sending pictures

of themselves in bathing suits.

Pictures for you to look at

while you're doing time

at Folsom.

Oh, Viv.

This one girl,

she sent you...

Viv, you know, don't even read

those letters, you know...

It's just crazy right now,

that's all.

You know?

Hell, you should have seen

last week.

We was at the fair, and, uh...

this bus full of 4H girls

pulls up, you know...

and they come piling

out of there...

and they go running

and screaming

after Carl and Roy,

I mean running.

John... I have a casserole

in the oven and your sister

in the kitchen, and I don't want

to talk about the tour.

Viv, you're the one who brought it up.

In fact,

that's my new rule.

When you come home,

I want to get

right down to talking

about regular things.

Viv, don't give

me no rules.

All I got are rules.

All I got is to be at this place

at this time.

I'm trying to go there,

and I'm trying to be back here

and spend time

with you and the kids...

and write songs, do this-

I mean, what do you want

from me, all right?

I got you your dream house,

all of your things...

all the pretty little things.

I got you your car.

What do you want from me?!

I want you, John, I want you!

And I want everything

that you promised to me.

Well, what if I can't do that?

Got your mind on something?

What are you doing up there, man?

I'm building a bomb.

Where we going again?

Tyler. The

George Jones show.

Where was it we just was?

Have another one, Carl.

Austin, Carl.

That's where

y'all picked me up.

Hey, Johnny, you see

the new charts?

"Cry, Cry, Cry"

was 14, I think.

Yeah, I heard that.

I haven't seen it.

Wherever we been, I can

tell you where we're going.

Everybody in this car

is going to hell.

What about the

car up there?

We're all going to hell

for the songs we sing.

People that listen to them,

they're going to hell, too.

Shut up with that.

God gave us a great

big apple, see, and He said...

"Don't touch it."

He didn't say

touch it once in a while.

He didn't say take a nibble

when you're hungry.

He said, "Don't touch it.

Don't think

about touching it.

Don't sing about touching it.

Don't think about singing

about touching it."

Well, what about me,

Jerry Lee?

Am I going to hell?

No, June, you're beautiful.

Sleepy is what I am.

She's making me fall

in love with her.

Feel my heart. Come here.

Sincerely.

Feel my heart, baby.

It's just a-beating for you.

Stop it, Jerry.

Come on, I'm falling

for you, June.

Hey. Jerry Lee.

Jerry Lee, stop it.

Jerry Lee, just sit your ass down.

Just sit down.

The 1957 Chevrolet...

- Looks like we're here.

Oh, thank goodness.

Get me out of this car

and all these boys.

Let's go,

home sweet home, boys.

If you could just put those

right there, that'd be great.

Oh, wait.

I wanted

to give you that Billboard.

Oh, right.

It's in here somewhere.

You got a library

in there, June.

Here it is.

I circled it for you.

- Hmm.

- It's right there.

Yeah.

Fourteen.

- I don't believe it.

Um, I wanted to

give you this.

Yeah, I just finished it.

It's really amazing.

The Prophet?

Yeah.

Keep it.

Oh, no, you don't want to...

Whenever I finish a book,

I give it away to somebody.

Just lightens my load.

John.

I just went through

a terrible divorce.

I got a world of

judgment on me right now.

And, um...

it's really none

of my business...

but you seem like

you have a nice family.

I'm sorry.

It just happened.

Just happened?

Yeah.

You wear black 'cause you can't

find anything else to wear?

You found your sound

'cause you can't play no better?

You just tried to kiss me,

because...

it just happened?

You should try taking credit

for something

every once in a while.

John.

Hey, Lou.

Hey, John.

You okay?

I'll let you know

in a few minutes.

How you doing?

Okay.

That boy Elvis sure likes

to talk poon.

That's all I heard

since Lubbock.

Ease off, ease off.

Do you want some?

What is it?

Well, it'll just make you want

to drive all the way

to Jacksonville

and enjoy yourself

once you get there.

Elvis takes 'em.

Yeah.

Yes, sir...

Be careful.

Here comes Marshall

with his bomb.

Hey, you got your

lighter, J.R.?

Yeah.

All right, you help

me get up in there.

- Grab that fuse.

- All right.

How long we got us

after we light it?

About 30 seconds

a foot.

All right.

Does your wife know how much

you like to blow stuff up?

Sure she does.

That's why

I married her, John.

Did you light it?

There's a bomb up here,

ladies and gentlemen.

It'll go...

Way to go, Johnny boy.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

How about them boys, huh?

Johnny Cash

and the Tennessee Three.

You kicked it good

tonight, John.

Thanks, man.

That's right,

kiss his ass.

Hey, Jerry Lee, your

mama know you're out?

She knows.

She knows.

How about that Johnny Cash,

everybody?

- Johnny Cash!

Okay, now.

Mr. Cash?

Yeah?

There's a Miss Audrey

Parks here to see you.

Who?

Audrey Parks.

Well, hey.

Oh, get it now.!

Ray, why don't you say grace?

Mama, it's J.R.'s table.

Why don't you say grace, J.R.?

No, go ahead.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.!

Hi.

Hi.

You're June Carter,

ain't ya?

Oh, my.

Betsy Pervis.

Hi, Betsy.

So nice to meet you.

Well, we're coming

to see the show tonight.

Oh, wonderful.

This is my husband, Lloyd.

Hi, Lloyd. So

nice to meet you.

Y'all wouldn't know

where the fishin' tackle is,

would you?

Back of... back

of them footballs on the corner.

Oh. All

right, great.

Well, y'all enjoy the show,

and if you have any requests...

just holler 'em out.

- Morning.

- Hey.

Oh, can I help you?

Oh, um, I'm looking

for some lace.

Oh, the sewing store

on Saticoy's got lace.

Thank you.

You know, your ma and pa

are good Christians

in a world gone to pot.

Well, I'll tell 'em

you said that.

I'm surprised

they still speak to you

after that stunt

with Carl Smith.
