Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) - full transcript

Fire. Fire in the hole.

Fire in the hole.

Let's get it, boys. Always
loads easy on payday.

Hi, Daddy. Look at
your knee. Daddy,

why don't you wear your knee pad?

Oh, Loretty, that
old shaft's so low,

you wear your knee pads,
you skin your back.

If you don't wear 'em,
you skin your knees.

I'll wear 'em tomorrow
and give my back a turn.

Boys, there ain't no place
this thing can't take me.

There ain't a creek she can't
ford, a gully she can't jump



or a hill she can't climb.

By God, I know a thing
that you can't climb.

That heap of red dog back yonder.

Oh, hell, buddy, I can
climb that damn mess

in a by-God New York minute.

Shit. Hey.

You boys watch your language
in front of these kids.

All right, does
anybody wanna bet me

I can't climb that mess up there?

That great pile up there?

Hell, yes, buddy. I can
ride up there at the top...

Oh, I'm sorry, little
girl. Excuse me.

Never done. Can't be done.

I got me $25 that says I can do
it. Does anybody wanna bet me?



I'll take all bets.

Okay, come on, kids.
Let's get to the store.

Give the company their money back.

Loretta, come on, honey.

Hi, Ted. Hey, Carl.

Who's that soldier boy out there

strutting around like
a banty rooster?

It's old man Red
Lynn's boy. Doolittle.

Come back from the army
acting like a wild heathen.

He'll calm down as soon as they
slap a coal shovel in his hand.

Yeah.

That Sears Roebuck I
ordered come in yet?

Yeah, I'll get it for you.

All right.

Loretty, get you and Herman
a jar of vyannies, honey.

Great.

Get your mule, son.

Hey, Cousin Ted,

come on in here and get in on
this bet. It's a sure thing.

Doolittle will never get up there

without rolling over
and killing himself.

Lord have mercy, that
son of a gun Doolittle

don't know what quit
means, does he?

He sure went to a lot of trouble

to get on top of a pile of junk.

Come on, Herman.

Mummy, Daddy's home.

What you got in that box?

Something special. Don't
open it till we get inside.

You all get washed up
before you come in.

You all hear your Mama?
Everybody go wash now. Come on.

Lee Dollarhide?

Come on in here, Doo. I was
just about to blast you one.

Old boy down at the store
said you wanted to see me.

Here, take you a sip.

Okay, fellas.

Donald Ray.

Thanks, Daddy.

Jack, well... Hand
that to brother Jack.

Thank you.

Take the baby, Jack.

How do they feel, gang?

Daddy, Peggy got two right feet.

What?

I mean, two right shoes.

I'll be darned. Don't worry.
We'll get 'em changed.

How they feel? Loretta.

Get your hands off. Leave 'em

alone. Leave 'em
alone, Donald Ray.

Daddy.

Hey, how come she
gets something extra?

Jack, Loretta's getting to
be a woman. Going on 14.

Women's supposed to
have pretty things.

Oh, she ain't no woman. She ain't
nothing but a dad-burned kid.

Well, what are you, Herman?

Remember when you
used to work for me,

sell my goods down at the mine?

Yeah, I remember you used to pay
me a nickel for every jug I sold.

How'd you like to come
back to work for me?

Not for no nickel a jug.

I'm talking about real money, Doo.

Business is good, you
see. I'm selling

more whiskey than I can make.

But I heard you'd
been stealing some

from the boys over
in Greasy Creek.

Oh, just when I run shy of my own.

I'm fixing to make me another
run on Greasy Creek, Doo.

You got that jeep.

You know how to use a gun
and you can use you a job.

I'll go 50-50 with you.

Doo, if you're born in the
mountains, you got three choices,

coal mine, moonshine or
moving on down the line.

Herman, get your feet off.

Turn the radio off. We can't
afford no new batteries.

You got one of your bad
headaches again, Daddy?

Ted, you want me to mix
you up some medicine?

It don't do no good. It'll pass.

What you see in them
grounds, Mummy?

Loretty, take the baby, hon.

I see a woman crying. Looks
to me like a man crying, too.

Who are they?

Baby crying.

Loretty.

What are they crying about, Mummy?

Take the baby out and
rock her, Loretty.

Bad times is a-coming.

Well, we don't need no
fortune-teller to know that.

Good thing you wasn't still
working for him, son.

You'd be laying there aside him.

I know that, Daddy.

Course if you had have
been working for him,

at least you'd have
been working somewhere.

You're out.

That's all right,
sweetheart, you did fine.

Get up and dance.

Preacher Banks was supposed to be
here to auction off these pies.

And he's sick and I...

I sure can't take no
time to auction no pies.

Besides, if these girls want
to eat pies with a boy,

they'll do it whether
there's an auction or not.

Say, lady, I'll auction
off them pies for you.

- You will?
- I sure will.

Six bits? Got six bits right
there. Who's gonna bid a dollar?

I will.

All right, now we got a
dollar right here, now.

It's a dollar one time. Boys,
that's a dollar twice.

That's sold, right
there, for a dollar.

Give me that dollar right there.

Thank you.

All right, you all got
one more pie left.

It's a chocolate pie
here, belong to

Loretta Webb.

Who's gonna bid first?

I bid two bits.

Two bits? Buddy, that's an insult.

Who's gonna start
off with a dollar?

Who'll give me a dollar, now?

I guess I get it, then.

Heck, I'll bid a dollar, buddy.

You're the auctioneer. You
ain't supposed to bid.

Oh, all right, that's a dollar
once, that's a dollar twice...

Hey, a dollar and a dime.

Three dollars.

That ain't fair, he's cheating.

All right, that's $3
once, $3 twice...

Three and a dime.

$3.75.

$3.77.

$5.

Ooh.

Once, twice, sold to Mr
Doolittle Lynn for $5.

Make a lot of chocolate
pies, Loretta?

Not too many, except this one.

How much salt did
that recipe call for?

You don't put no
salt in a chocolate

pie. You just put in sugar and...

Well, you must have got
'em mixed up, Loretta.

Makes a lot of sense, though. The
salt and sugar's both white.

Well, there ain't no sense in

walking when you
can ride. Come on.

I ain't getting in that thing.

You ain't never rode in
a car before, have you?

That ain't no car. Looks
like something from Mars.

Mars? Gal, what the hell do
you know about Mars anyway?

I'll bet you ain't never been
past the mouth of this hollow.

Come on now, get in this thing.

I said I ain't getting
in it and I ain't.

If you like me so much,
you can walk me home.

Oh, Lord, them pies ain't the only
thing salty about you, are they?

Wait a minute. Wait, we'll
walk it, then. Wait.

You know, the first time
I ever seen you I said,

"Me and that little old
gal's gonna get together."

I saw you, too, in that
little soldier suit.

I thought you looked just
like a little toy soldier.

Hey, now, you listen here, I went

ashore over yonder
at Day plus four

and I stayed in combat until the
day the damn thing was over.

I wasn't no little
old toy soldier.

You know what Day is, don't you?

What? Never mind.

Tell you one thing
that army showed me.

There's a whole big
world out yonder.

Showed me I ain't about
to spend my life

buried in no coal mine, neither.

Ain't no future in
it, not a damn bit.

And that's what I'm interested in,
mainly, course, is the future.

You got any plans for the future?

Not that I know of.

You sure cuss a lot, don't ya?

Yeah, I do.

Cuss, drink, chase wild women.

What? What are you doing?

I'm gonna kiss you
good night. Ain't

you ever been kissed before. Huh?

Hey, Loretta?

I'm gonna bring my jeep up
here and take you for a ride.

You ain't gonna get that
thing up this holler.

There ain't nothing I can't do,
girl, once I set my mind to it.

Loretty, honey, take Peggy
Sue in and feed her.

Come on.

Stranger coming. Stranger coming.

Stranger coming.

What is it?

I told you I'd get this
thing up here, gal.

You gotta take a ride with me now.

Hey, Bill.

Hey, Doo.

I can't breathe. I feel
like I'm gonna faint.

Well, that's the way
you're supposed

to feel when you're in love.

- It is?
- Yeah.

Where have you been?

Doolittle took me riding.

What?

Doolittle took me riding.

Took you riding?

You just run off. Didn't
ask nobody or nothing.

Run off and worry
everybody to death.

You all get to bed. Go on.

Don't you know he'd
rather cut off his arm

than have to whip you like that?

What you mean running off
like that with that wild boy?

I love him, Mummy.

You do no such a thing.

Stay away from that Doolittle Lynn

or I'll give you worse
than what your Daddy did.

I'll go make you up some
salve for your legs.

Loretty, you know I don't like to
boss you, but I got to now, honey.

Daddy, I...

Just let me talk.

Doolittle's been up the
house every day this week.

I don't want him hanging
around no more.

Why?

Because you ain't got no business
hanging around with him.

You're just a little girl,
he's a grown-up man,

wild as the devil.

I love him, Daddy.

And he's a-wanting
me to marry him.

You ain't even 14 yet.

You all ain't knowed
each other a month.

I know. But I love him.

Lord, Lord, don't do it, Loretty.

Don't throw all them
young years away.

You're my pride, girl.
My shining pride.

I just can't help it.

I can't.

Okay.

Okay.

Presenting the Grand Ole Opry.

Let her go, boys.

Get up, Mummy. Do
your squaw dance.

See if we can't get a smile
out of old sourpuss here.

Yeah, come on, Mama.

Come on, dance.

Come on, Clary.

I knocked, but I reckon you
all couldn't hear me outside.

Guess I broke up the party.

Oh, it don't matter.

Come on and sit down.

Okay, come on, Donald Ray.

Why don't you try that one?

You all get out of
here or I'm gonna

knock the tar out of
every one of you.

Why? We're playing checkers.

Jack, go on.

Say, "Please." Herman?

Junior, come on, take
'em out. Please?

Come on, fellas, let's go.

Pretty please.

Look here at this, Loretty.

My gosh, Doo.

Where'd you get all that?

Mess of pay cheques.
I've been saving 'em.

You know what tomorrow is?
It's our anniversary.

Get a little closer.

Herman, I'm gonna kill you.

What were you saying, Doo?

I was saying that tomorrow
is our anniversary.

I figured that'd be a good day
for you and me to get married,

especially since I
got all that money.

Go ask Daddy.

Mr Webb, me and Loretta

is fixing to get married if
it's all right with you.

Tomorrow.

Go ask Clary.

Mrs Webb, me...

Me and Loretty was thinking
about getting married.

Tomorrow.

Go ask Ted.

Where's lover boy?

Doolittle, what are you doing?

Hell, Ted said to
ask Clary and Clary

said to ask Ted
and... I don't know.

Come on and sit down.

Wait'll they go to bed, then
you can catch them together,

else they'll keep you running
back and forth all night long.

Mr And Mrs Webb?

I know everything's
happened real fast.

I know she's young, I know
how much you all love her,

but the deal is I love her, too.

Just as much as you do.

I growed up real fast, I
seen a lot of the world.

I want you to know first
time I seen that girl

I said, "That's all I'm ever
gonna want out of life."

And I promise you

I'm gonna break my back
working to make her happy.

I reckon you all set on
it no matter what we say.

I don't wanna go against
you all, Mrs Webb,

but, yes, I'm really set on it.

Two things I want you
to promise me, boy.

Don't you never hit her

and don't take her off
far away from home.

Yes, sir. I promise you that.

Wilt thou love her, comfort her,

honour and keep her in
sickness and in health

and forsaking all other,
keep thee only unto her

so long as you both shall live?

I will.

And, Loretta, wilt thou have this
man to be thy wedded husband,

to live together in the
holy estate of matrimony?

Wilt thou love him, comfort him,

honour and keep him in
sickness and in health

and forsaking all other,
keep thee only unto him

so long as you both shall live?

Yeah, I will.

Who giveth this woman to
be married to this man?

I do.

Please join right hands.

The wedding ring is an
outward and visible sign

of an inward and spiritual grace

signifying unto all the uniting

of this man and this
woman in holy matrimony.

Do you two have rings?

I ain't got no ring, Judge.

She'll warm up here
in just a minute.

I got a present for you from Mama.

Well, go on, get ready
for bed, baby, come on.

Loretta, you ain't
supposed to wear

a nightgown over your clothes.

I'm freezing, Doo.

Get on in there and take off

everything, but
your nightgown now.

Go on, Loretty.

Go on.

Move. Go on, now.

Get off.

Don't do that. Don't. Doo, no.

It's just a little rough the
first time, Loretty, is all.

Don't worry about
that. Come on, baby.

Don't, Doo. No.

Hush, Loretty.

No, Doo.

No. No.

This stuff's cold.

It's because it froze between
here and the damn restaurant.

You want a hot breakfast,
you got to go with me.

I ain't going in there having
all them people looking at me

knowing what we've
been doing in here.

Hell's bells, Loretta, do
you think this is something

the rest of the world
ain't caught on to yet?

They don't give a damn.

Baby, it's just a little rough
the first time, that's all.

Didn't seem too rough on you.

Well, you better get
used to it, darling,

because that's what
a damn marriage...

I ain't gonna get
used to you getting

on me and sweating
like an old pig.

You told Daddy you wouldn't hit
me and look at you already.

Well, hell, I'm sorry, Loretta,
but you drove me to it.

Hi, hon.

Look here at this. These
radios are on sale real cheap.

You reckon we could get us one?

Here, you read that.
Then we'll talk radios.

My gosh, Doo, this has
got pictures in it.

Here, dog.

Oh, Loretty, that there book,

that thing's helped millions
of people the world over.

I thought it might
do us a little good.

I can't read this
book, Doo. It's got

all 'em great big old words in it.

Look at this one. Look.

That dadgum word is a foot long.

Now, what's a foot-long
word supposed to mean, huh?

Oh, Doo, I don't need no book
to tell me what's wrong.

You just need to be a
little more patient

and gentle with me,
honey, that's all.

I just need a little more time.

Give you a little more time.

Well, let me add up
all these damn things

I'm supposed to give
you some more time on.

You need a little more
time to learn how to cook.

You need a little more time to
learn how to clean the damn house.

Plus you need a little
more time to learn

how to love your man the
way you're supposed to.

Goddamn, is there anything that
you know how to do right now?

Doo, when you gonna get
me that wedding ring?

Stop making that noise. You sound
like an old bear growling.

Where are you going?
Doo, are you leaving?

No, I ain't leaving.

Mummy, look who's here. Loretta.

Hi. Hi, Peggy.

Hi, Donald.

Look who's here, Dad.

Hi, Mummy. Doo's
thrown me out, Mummy.

Oh, thank the Lord.
Maybe it ain't too late

to save you from
ruining your life.

Loretty, you home.

Hi, Daddy.

I believe married life's
making you fat, girl.

Oh, no.

F, O, D...

Ready, Loretta?

The last time I seen you

I was giving you kids a
shot for the measles.

Here you are an old married
woman. How do you like it?

Fine.

Except me and Doo is separated.

Things happen pretty fast between
you and Doo, don't they?

Hey.

Hold up there.

Hey, Doolittle, how are you?

Good day, isn't it?

It sure is.

What have you been doing?

No, not a hell of a lot. Working
too goddamn hard. What about you?

Hey, Doolittle Lynn.

Who's that sow wallowing
in your jeep?

What did you call me?

A sow. That's a woman pig.

Hi, Loretta, I just...

Hey, Loretta.

Hey, Loretta. I was just
fixing to come see you.

Was you gonna bring your
girlfriend with you?

Oh, hell, that don't mean nothing.
She just flagged me down.

I got something to tell you, girl.

Yeah, I got something
to tell you, too.

Loretta, I am leaving Kentucky.

I'm going out west to Washington

to get me a job on a
ranch or something.

That damned old coal mine's
got me buried alive.

Was you just gonna leave me?

Just long enough to get the
money to send for you.

What makes you think I'd come?

Because you're my wife, darling.

I'm your wife. Boy,
you better think

of a better reason than that.

There ain't nothing for
me in Kentucky, Loretta.

Except a chest full of coal dust

and being an old man time I'm 40.

You ask your daddy.

Beside that, you got to
come with me, I love you.

You promised Daddy you wouldn't
take me off far from home.

Well, you just have to make
up your mind, darling,

whether or not you're his
daughter or my wife.

Get in. I'll take you
back to the house.

What are you doing in
the bottom anyhow?

I come to see Doc Turner.

You sick?

Yeah, I'm gonna have a baby.

Oh, Lord, Loretta.

You know, darling, you
might have found something

that you know how to do.

It's from Doo, Daddy.

He sent me the money
to come to Washington.

Well, she's late. Reckon she
might have jumped the tracks.

Oh, Daddy, them things
don't do that. Do they?

They've been known to.

Get up here. Let's
see what you weigh.

117?

Boy, Daddy, this baby's gonna be a
big one, ain't it? You weigh now.

It wouldn't do no good.

I wouldn't know how much was me,

how much was all that
coal dust I swallowed.

I ain't never gonna see you again.

Yes, you will, Daddy.

Maybe. But I ain't never gonna
see my little girl again.

Them years has been
robbed from me,

like a thief broke
in and robbed 'em.

What did you do all day, baby?

Well, I put up 17 quarts
of this apple butter.

And, Doo, the dadgum
sink stopped up.

And I spent half the
morning fixing that.

Jack Benny, stop kicking

Baby, I was just thinking, we
got an anniversary coming up,

I was wondering what kind of
anniversary present you wanted.

Well, I ain't got no

Wedding ring? Bullshit.

Oh, bullshit.

Doo. Jack Benny.

Now, go to sleep, Ernest
Ray. You, too, Jack Benny.

Happy anniversary, darling.

Yeah, it looks like
you had a happy one.

You know, Doo, most couples spend
their anniversary together.

What's that?

That's your anniversary present,
baby. Happy anniversary.

My anniversary present?

Doo, sometimes I think you got a
washer missing in your brain.

I can't play that thing.

Most people can't without
they learn how first.

You're not too ignorant
to learn, are you?

Hell, if you don't want it,
I'll give it to the kids.

They probably don't
want it either,

so I'll put it in
the kindling box.

Give me that.

What you get me a guitar for?

Because I like the way you sing.

You mean together?

Yeah, Together.

Okay.

What are you grinning about?

Doo.

What are you up to?

My Lord.

♪ (Country) ♪

I'll have one of them beers,
please, plus one Coca-Cola.

How about a dance, darling?

I can't. I'm married.

You must not be too married,
you ain't wearing no ring.

I bet I know what
this is all about.

Oh, dang, you guessed it.

Wait right here,
I'll be right back.

Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy, come here.

I got something sitting right
on back there at that table...

Come here, darling.
Come here, honey.

I'll be right with you, Hoss.

Excuse me.

Loretta.

What the hell are you doing
running off and hiding like a...

Don't make me get up and
sing, Doo. Please, I'm sick.

Oh, hell, you're not gonna
have to get up there and sing.

That old boy wouldn't
allow it. Thank the Lord.

You're gonna have to audition
for 'em in the morning.

I ain't no singer, Doo. I
can't sing for no strangers.

Yes, you can. I done
fixed it up for you.

There ain't no problem. You
didn't ask me nothing about it.

How the hell can I ask
you something about it

if you run off and hide
like a stupid hillbilly?

Don't call me that. I may be
ignorant, but I ain't stupid.

Why do you want me to
sing so much for anyway?

Because I'm proud of
you when you sing.

Doo, I'm glad I make
you proud, honey,

but I can't sing in front
of people. I just can't.

Yes, you can, baby.

You're gonna sing for these old
boys in here in the morning,

and next week you're gonna
be up on that stage

singing for all these people here,

if I have to kick your

ignorant hillbilly ass
every step of the way.

And now, folks, we've got
a special treat for you.

You got a big voice.

How'd you like that, folks?

Would you like to hear the
little lady sing another one?

Doo, they liked me.

Yeah, baby, they loved
you. They loved you.

They gonna love you a

I done wrote myself
a song, Betty Sue.

Your mama's a dadgum songwriter.

It's a nice song, Mummy.

Thank you.

Deal is, Loretta, you
can sing in every

little honky tonk in the country.

There's thousands doing it

and they ain't getting
nowhere and they never will.

The thing that's
gonna give you the

edge is getting yourself a record.

And the next step's even
more important than that

and that's getting people to
play the dad-burned thing,

but right now what you and
me have to worry about...

Listen to your daddy.

Is you making the best
doggone record you can,

it all depends on that, darling.

Boy, Doo, I didn't know you knew

so much about the music business.

I don't. I'm just figuring
it out as I go along,

listening to people talk.

It's just got three chords.

All right, honey, what are
you gonna sing for us?

She's gonna do a
song that she wrote

herself called Honky Tonk Girl.

Right. Honey, what key's it in?

You all just go right
ahead and play along,

and she'll follow you just fine.

Go ahead and you all just play.

She does talk, don't she, partner?

I mean, generally people
that can sing can talk.

Oh, she'll talk up a storm
if she feels like it.

All right.

You all settle down
here now and be quiet.

Darling, come over here
and sit on my knee.

You'll have a lot better view,
boys. Sit up here, now.

Sit up big and
listen to your mama.

All right, tape is rolling, we're
ready. Let's go for take one.

Three, four, one.

That's all right,
that's all right,

don't worry. We got a lot of tape.

All right, you all, get ready and
set, and we'll go for take two.

Buddy, could you give
us a minute, please?

Well, sure.

Kids, come along
with me. Come here.

I guess we're leaving now, so...

Hey, put that thing back on.

What are you doing in
here with them kids?

Doo? What are you doing?

Darling, I want you to
sing to these babies.

Sing to the babies?

Yes, just like you was at home.

I'll sit there in
that green chair.

Okay.

Are you sure?

I'm positive.

♪ Ever since you left me I've
done nothing but wrong ♪

♪ Many nights I've
laid awake and cried ♪

All right, hold it, everybody.
Just hang on a minute.

Let's take a little
break and let me

see if I can find a
few more pickers.

Man, I can't afford
no more pickers.

I done spent every
last penny I had.

As bad as them two are,
what do you want more for?

No, no, I mean more better. That

little lady sings
her hind end off.

Let's go, darling. Let's do this
thing now, I ain't got all day.

Wait a minute, I ain't got all
these doodads sewed on yet.

Baby, I got to get to
work. Come on, now.

Okay.

It's just gonna be your
head and shoulders anyhow.

Get up there in front
of the backdrop.

You mean that bedspread? Yeah.

Oh, wait a minute, Doo. I ought
to put on some lipstick.

Get back in here.
I like you better

natural. Forget the lipstick.

Slip's all rotten.

Sit down there.

Get up on the back
of the chair, babe.

Up on the back of the chair?

Yeah.

Oh, that's gonna be pretty.
That's gonna be pretty.

I don't want you ever
wearing no lipstick,

or make-up or none of that
junk, I don't like it.

It ain't right.

All right, here we go now.

Where do you want me to look?

I want you to look
at heaven, baby.

Mama.

Get out of there, sweetheart, I'm

trying to take your
mama's picture.

Get over there and sit down now.

Thank you, baby.

Smile.

Oh...

Beautiful. That's just
beautiful. That's it, babe.

Put the backdrop back on the bed.

Are you and Daddy going
out again tonight, Mama?

Yes, honey, I've got to
sing over in Lynden.

Can I go with you?

Oh, no, that's a rough old honky

tonk. You can't be
going over there.

Did you stay up all
night again, honey?

Yeah, darling, I'll get
me a nap later on.

Well, let me fix you
some breakfast.

No, I'll get me a
bite later on, baby.

I got to go now. You be
ready when I get home.

We gotta drive all
the way to Spokane.

Okay. Bye-bye.

It ain't gonna be so hard

Loretta, this old mountain top

Because they don't die.
The real ones just die.

Darling... Like everything else.

Mummy's moving away, Daddy's gone.

I ain't gonna have no home left.

You got our home.

Baby.

Get away from me.

Leave me alone.

Loretta, we gotta
decide something.

Most of them radio stations that
we sent records and pictures to

is right here in this
part of the country.

If we're really gonna
do this thing,

we gotta go see 'em in person and
make sure they play that record.

I already talked to
your mama and she

said she'd watch the kids for us.

We gotta move right
now, you understand?

Darling, if you don't want it,

I ain't gonna make you do
nothing you don't wanna do.

It's your choice.

We'll just go back to what
we was doing, that's all.

I want it. What?

I said I want it.

Baby, I can't hear you.

I wanna be a singer, Doo.

I want it real bad.

I want it real bad.

Jack, you see that little
row of numbers right there?

That tells you how
many miles you've

gone, and tell us
how far we've been

when we get back here.

I love you. I'll see
you when we come home.

Go with Grandma. Come on, girl.

Mummy, I love you.

I love you.

Betty Sue, you take care
of the little ones, okay?

Will you mind Grandma? Okay?

Bye, Jack. Bye,
Ernest Ray. Bye-bye.

I left you all some Tootsie Rolls

in the top drawer,
Mummy, in the bedroom.

Bye-bye. Bye, Mummy.

Come back, Mummy.

Now here's that number one
hit, Walking After Midnight.

Dadgummit, Doo, wait a minute.
People can see in here.

Hurry up, let's go.

What am I supposed to say
when we get in there?

I don't know what to say.

Don't even think about what you're

supposed to say,
just start talking.

Hey, I'm sorry, folks, there's no
visitors allowed in the studio.

Hi, Bobby. My name's Loretta Lynn

and I sent you a picture and my
newest record on the Zero label.

Hey, look, no
kidding, you can't be

in here while I'm
doing a show, okay?

It's a song I wrote myself,
it's called Honky Tonk Girl.

I got the idea...

I got it and I played it

and it just sorta
laid right there.

So thanks for coming in, you
all. Bye-bye, now. Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

You're listening to Tri-State
Country with your DJ, Bobby Day

right here till 6:00, neighbours.

And now here's a word from our

friends down at
Hutchins' Hot Pigs.

Tell them all about it, Hutch,
and all of them little piglets.

You played it, huh? You ain't
even took it out of the wrapper.

Do you know how many
do-it-yourself records

I get in here every day?

If I played all of 'em, I wouldn't
have time to play anything else.

Well, why did you lie to us? Huh?

Why'd you say they didn't like us?

Doo worked so hard to
get us this record.

Hey, buddy, get her out of here.
I gotta go back on the air.

I'm sorry, buddy, there's
nothing I can do

once she gets cranked
up like this.

He took the picture, too.

Heck, we got four babies we had
to leave home with my mummy.

We drove all the way here,
spent every last dime we had.

Folks, we got a special
treat for you here today,

a young lady who I predict
is gonna go all the way.

I can't believe it.
I can't believe

you'd do something so
dadgum mean as that.

Tell them all about
yourself, darling.

About myself?

And then I sung it for
Doolittle. That's my husband.

Except everybody else calls
him Mooney on account of

he used to sell moonshine
back in Butcher Holler.

Where? Butcher Holler,

that where me and Doo's
from back in Kentucky.

Anyway, I wrote the
song and Doo heard it,

and he said, "That's about the
prettiest song as I ever heard,

"good as Patsy Cline."

I said, "Oh, ain't nobody
sings as good as Patsy."

Well, let's get a listen to it,

folks, brand-new
on the Zero label,

Miss Lorene Lynn singing... What?

Honky Tonk Girl.

It's Loretta Lynn, not Lorene.

- Loretta?
- Huh.

♪ (Honky Tonk Girl) ♪

Girl, you sure got over
being bashful fast.

I just done what you said, just
opened my mouth and out it come.

I couldn't even stop.

I didn't have no more notion of

what I was gonna
say than a rabbit.

You keep on being a
rabbit then, darling.

Hey, where is the next one?

You want me to watch for
that next transmitter?

Hell, yes, watch out
for that transmitter.

WTMT, the voice of country

We've been seeing all different
parts of the country

WMIT in Middlesboro...

Mama's back in Kentucky taking
care of the four babies.

Bet they're wondering what's
happened to their mama.

Top Ridge, Tennessee...

I had no idea where singers
got songs to sing,

so I thought, "Shoot. I better
just lock myself up in it,

"at least till I get this
music business figured out."

Come fast through the mail

with a satisfied mind...

Doo, can we send the kids
some suckers or something?

No, baby, we can't afford
it. We ain't got the money.

Here's your baloney, 48 cents.

I'm getting so sick of baloney.

You are? Well, you know what they
say about baloney now, don't you?

What?

Makes you horny.

What's that mean?

Are you so dad-burned ignorant,

you don't know what horny means?

No. What does it mean?

Ain't gonna tell you.

Doo.

Doo, what does it mean?

With all these months on the
road have you hit Nashville yet?

No, sir, but I'm dying to.

I'm gonna get on the Grand Ole
Opry, too, just as soon as I can.

Well, you know,
sometimes you gotta pay

a lot of dues to get on the Opry.

Pay dues?

Well, for most people it takes
years and years of hard work.

Still, from the looks of things,

you're off to a real good start.

Shoot. We've been driving so much

I don't even know where
I am half the time.

Oh, it's fun, though, you
know, we sing and talk

and Doo, that's my husband,

he'll get to acting horny. What?

The more I laugh the
hornier he gets.

Loretta, goddamn.

He'll say, "Loretta, spread me up

"one of them baloney sandwiches."

I don't know where in the
hell you think you are, lady,

but that kind of smut don't go
on in this part of the country.

I didn't know it was dirty.

I thought horny meant cutting
up and acting silly.

Come off that dumb hillbilly act.

You know, mister, if
you knew Loretta,

you'd know that ain't no act.

Thank you, Doo.

Yeah, well, let me
tell you something.

We're gonna be damn lucky not to
lose our FCC licence for this.

And I mean damn lucky.

You know, I'm gonna tell
you something else,

I ain't never playing
another record

of yours on this radio
station. Never.

Goddamn, Loretta. Don't
you ever stop to think

what the hell you're saying?

You told me not to.

Wait up.

Don't worry about him, kids.

If you're on the charts,
you're gonna get played.

What charts?

You got a hit record.
You don't know that?

That really isn't an act, is it?

Where the hell did you
get the idea for that?

Where do you think?

Hey, Charlie.

Charlie.

Wake up, Charlie.

Where the hell you been?

Shopping. Looks
like you have, too.

Get all that crap off
your face, by God,

I had about enough of this crap.

I like it and it's staying.
Where the hell you going?

Hold on a minute, Mooney,
this is my idea.

You don't talk to me like that.

If I wanna wear make-up, I will.

The hell you will. You're gonna do

exactly whatever the
hell I tell you.

I'll do just what I want.

Don't you talk to me like
that. Don't you hit me.

Don't you hit me. I'll whip
your butt, girl. Goddamn.

Hey, hey. Come on,
let's get in the car.

Charlie, get in the car and
drive. Loretta, get in the car.

Charlie, get in
that car and drive.

Oh, that's Patsy Cline.

That's Loretta Lynn.

- Damn.
- Hello, Patsy.

Get your camera, honey.

Get ready now.

Ain't no chance of getting in
that goddamned car, hey, boys?

Oh, my God. Did I do that?

Is it broke?

Aren't you gonna talk?

Baby, what I think I'm gonna
do is get me a job somewhere,

driving a truck or
being a mechanic

or doing something
that I'm good at.

You're good at managing me.

I wouldn't be here if
it wasn't for you.

Getting here's one thing
and being here's another.

My job's done, baby, I'll
just get me another one.

Doo, if it's gonna break
us up, I'll quit.

Successful people
don't quit, baby.

Got another one of your
headaches, don't you?

Just like your daddy.

Coal dust give him the headache.

I guess I'm what's
giving 'em to you.

Loretta.

Figured it was about time.

Doo.

Are you sure?

I don't wanna have it.

I've been having

What does Mooney think?

He doesn't know.

Hey, come on, I think you
oughta be happy about this.

I'm tickled.

We're gonna have a baby.

You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna give you the biggest
baby shower in Nashville.

Now, I want you to make a list.

Then we'll go shopping.

Hey, you know, I saved all
of my maternity clothes.

In fact, I got Randy's
old things, too.

You're gonna need all
of this, Loretta.

You know, I forgot I had this.

Oh, Patsy.

Can you believe it?

You scared me.

Red's the colour that
drives men wild.

Oh, great, that's
just what I need.

Well, you never know when
it'll come in handy.

Hey, listen, anything you
can't find in this box

we're gonna buy when I get back.

Where are you going?

I got a benefit in Kansas City.

Oh, I didn't know I
threw that thing away.

Maybe I oughta keep
that. Keep it burning.

Now look, this'll take you
through your fifth month.

Oh, Patsy, are you sure
you want me to have this?

Oh, yes, darling,
take it. Take it.

I got something with your name
written on it right here.

I love that.

Oh, Patsy, I got to go.
Doo's waiting for me.

You all right? Yeah.

All right, now, I'll
call you on Monday.

Okay. We'll go shopping.

Anything we can't buy we'll make.

Anything we can't
make, we'll steal.

Now, you take care of
yourself, all right?

Okay.

Okay, darling. Bye-bye, darling.

Thank you, Patsy.

Take care. Now, I'm calling you
first thing Monday, don't forget.

Okay. All right.

Honey, you're early, you

We gotta talk about what you're

I wanna talk to Doo.

Baby, you've got 10,000 people

Please, Doo.

Baby, they're out

Darling, I don't know

Okay, get me on stage,
I wanna go out there.

Hold it, boys. Hold it.

Ladies and gentlemen,
would you make welcome

Miss Loretta Lynn.

I had something I wanted to come
out here and tell you all tonight.

But, Doo, he don't want
me to say nothing.

But I can tell you.

Friends.

Because you wouldn't be here
if you didn't care about me.

See...

Things is moving too
fast in my life.

Always have.

I mean, one day I was just

a little girl, the next
day I was married,

the next day I was having babies,

and next day I was out
here singing for you all.

And...

Patsy was always saying, "Little

girl, you got to run
your own life."

But my life's running me and...

Where's my... Where's Doo?

Doo?

Come on, let's go to the bus.

We've got you.

Come on, baby.

Baby.

Whoa, babies. Whoa, babies.

Whoa, babies, slow down,
now. Whoa, babies.

Hey.

I got something I wanna show you.

What?

Slow down, Doo.

What do you think?

About what?

What are you up to, Doo?

I'm gonna build us a
house right here.

That's a hell of a view, ain't it?

I picked this particular spot on

account of, well,
from right in there

it looks a bit like
Kentucky used to be.

Thought I'd put the
bedroom back over

in here in the front of the house

so we can wake up every morning

and look out that
old picture window

and watch the sun come up.

Thought back up here would be a
good place for a breakfast nook.

And then right...

Dadgummit, Doo.

You never asked me nothing
about no new house.

I wanted to surprise you, baby.

Well, stop surprising me.

You never ask me about nothing.

Well, hell, I thought you'd
want a new house, babe.

For the privacy if not for
nothing else, by God.

I ain't said I don't
want no new house.

I just said you ain't asked me
nothing about it. You never do.

You just say, "Hey, baby, here's
the deal, take it or leave it."

Well, it's driving me crazy, Doo.

Hell, let's go to the house, let's

call the lawyers
and get a divorce.

I'm tired of this bullshit.

I don't want no divorce,

I just want the dadgum bedroom
in the back of the house.

You put the dadgum bedroom in
the front of the house, Doo,

and the sun comes in every morning
at 5:00 and shines in my eyes.

How am I supposed
to get any sleep?

You're not too ignorant to get out
of the bed and walk over here

and pull a set of window
blinds down, are you?

No, and I'm not too
ignorant to know

that the dadgum bedroom don't
belong in the front of the house

where the living room ought to be.

Stop growling, Doo, you sound
like an old bear or something.

All right, we'll put the bedroom

in the back of the
house, all right?

Let's not be too hasty, Doo,

maybe we oughta leave the bedroom
in the front of the house,

it's always been there
and it's pretty here.

It's beautiful, darling. We'll put

the bedroom in the
back of the house

and then we'll put one in
front of the house, too.

Oh, great. Then we'll both
have our own bedroom.

No, I'm gonna be living
in a tree house,

I'm gonna build right
up the hill there.
