MMM, THAT NO ONE SHARES?
AND IF MY LIFE
IS LIKE THE DUST,
OOH, THAT HIDES
THE GLOW OF A ROSE,
WHAT GOOD AM I?
HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS.
LORD, THIS BITTER EARTH,
YES, CAN BE SO COLD.
TODAY YOU' RE YOUNG.
TOO SOON YOU' RE OLD.
BUT WHILE A VOICE
WITHIN ME CRIES,
I'M SURE SOMEONE
MAY ANSWER MY CALL,
AND THIS BITTER EARTH,
OO-OO-OO-OO-OOH,
MAY NOT, OH,
BE SO BITTER AFTER ALL.
MEMORIES THAT JUST
DON'T SEEM MINE,
LIKE HALF-EATEN CAKE,
RABBIT SKIN STRETCHED
ON THE BACKYARD FENCES,
MY GRANDMA.
MOT DEAR, MOT DEAR, MOT DEAR
DRAGGING HER SHADOW
ACROSS THE PORCH,
STANDING BARE-HEADED
UNDER THE SUN,
CLEANING RED CATFISH
WITH WHITE RUM.
COME GET ME.
DON'T DO THAT.
WHERE THE DOG AT?
THAT MOTHER
SUCKER FUCKER.
COME ON, DOG.
KEEP RUNNING.
THIS IS A MEAN OLD WORLD
TRY TO LIVE IN BY YOURSELF.
THIS IS A MEAN OLD WORLD
TRY TO LIVE IN BY YOURSELF.
CAN'T GET THE ONE YOU LOVE
AND HAVE TO USE
SOMEBODY ELSE.
I'VE GOT THE BLUES.
GONNA PACK MY THINGS AND GO.
YES, I'VE GOT THE BLUES.
GONNA PACK MY THINGS AND GO.
WELL, I GUESS
YOU DON'T LOVE ME...
450, 451, 452, 453,
453, 454, 455, 456, 451,
452, 453, 454,
455, 456, 450, 452, 450-
CAN'T YOU COUNT?
COUNT YOURSELF, THEN.
LOOK AT THEM OLD UGLY GIRLS.
YOUR DADDY.
YOU WANT TO COME ON,
WANT TO FIGHT, THEN?
OKAY, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
ALL RIGHT, TAKE CARE.
HEY, MAN.
SO WHAT DID
YOU DO TODAY?
GOT TO FIND ME A JOB.
TOMORROW'S SATURDAY.
LET'S GO TO BED.
CATCH A RAT, CAT
GENE,
WE NEEDED FOOD
IN THE HOUSE.
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SPENT
YOUR LAST DIME
TO GET
THIS CAR FIXED.
THAT AIN'T RIGHT.
DON'
IF THINGS COME TO WORSE,
WE CAN ALWAYS SELL IT.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO
ABOUT IT NOW?
HOW'S IT GOING, DIAN?
AIN'T NOTHING TO IT,
YOU KNOW?
GENE.
WHAT IT IS?
NOT TOO MUCH.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
OH, JUST TRYING TO GET
THIS OLD CAR TOGETHER.
YEAH. LOOK, LET ME
GIVE YOU A HAND.
OH, HERE, TAKE THIS.
MISS SALLY GAVE ME $5
FOR CLEANING BEHIND THE GARAGE,
AND SHE GAVE ME
SOME PEACHES TOO.
THANKS.
I'LL PAY YOU BACK.
GO ON,
YOU CAN HAVE HALF.
NO, THANK YOU.
IT'S GETTING LATE.
LET'S GO IN
AND HAVE SOME COFFEE
AND SEE WHAT MY GUESTS
ARE DOING.
slam
I'M GONNA GET UP
IN THE MORNING.
I BELIEVE I SHOULD GO
BACK HOME.
I'M GONNA GET UP
IN THE MORNING.
I BELIEVE I SHOULD GO
BACK HOME.
I'M GONNA FIND MY BABY,
ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT I DONE HER WRONG.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
GOT A POINT.
YOU'VE GOT A POINT
RIGHT HERE.
NINE, NINE MORE POINTS.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
YOU' RE GOING CRAZY.
SHOOT THE DICE.
WELL, YOU KNOW
SHE'S A MEAN, WILD WOMAN
' BOUT TO DRIVE ME
OUT OF MY MIND.
HEY, BROTHER, WHY DON'T
YOU TWO FELLAS COME ON,
GET IN THE GAME, MAN?
BACK ' EM UP NINE, YEAH.
NINE.
GOING OVER
THE STREET SIGN.
AND I SAID
ALL I COULD THINK OF
WAS THE BLOOD
GETTING TO MY HEAD.
HUH? HUH?
AND ALMA JEAN,
ALL I COULD SEE,
HER WAS WEARING
THAT CASCADE ON HER HEAD
THAT LOOKS
LIKE A BIRDCAGE.
SO HER BOULEVARD,
AS SHE CALLS HIM,
FIRE TO HER JIBS
BRING THE REST
OF THE STUFF.
BOULEVARD-
MAN, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
I DON'T HAVE TIME.
WE GONNA GET US
SOMETHING TO EAT.
I DON'T HAVE TIME.
BOULEVARD KEPT CIRCLING
THE FIVE-FOUR BALLROOM,
THINKING WE CAN GET SOME MUSIC
AND SOME FOOD TOGETHER.
STOP.
I SAID-I SAID, ALMA JEAN,
TELL THIS NIGGER OF YOURS
THAT DON'T HE KNOW
WE CAN GET 15 YEARS
FOR HIM ACTING
FELONIOUS?
GET OUT OF THE WAY.
YOU READY?
COME ON,
GET IN THE CAR.
I SAID, ALMA JEAN,
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT NIGGER
OF YOURS CAN GET 15 YEARS
FOR BEING FELONIOUS?
DON'T YOU KNOW
PEOPLE ARE CHANGED?
MAN, WE' RE READY TO GO.
WE DON'T ACT LIKE THIS
NO MORE.
GET IN THE CAR.
GENE'S GONNA DRIVE ME
TILL I SWEAR.
DON'T GO SO DAMN FAST.
WE MIGHT MISS
WHERE WE' RE GOING:
THE COUNTRY, PLEASE.
IF I HAD A FEW BUCKS,
I'D BET IT ON THAT OLD
SON OF A BITCH
IN THE NINTH RACE
AT LOS ALOMITOS.
HOW MUCH YOU PAYING,
CHILD?
TEN-TO-ONE ODDS.
THAT AIN'T ENOUGH.
CATCH ONE OF THEM
LONG SHOTS.
HELL, THIS IS
A LONG SHOT, SHIT.
TEN TO ONE?
