(sighs)
- So you live in L.A. huh?

(laughing)
- Oh wow.
Remember when a long time ago

all that stuff you know?
Like Jackie was gonna be
a Dallas Cowboy
cheerleader.
- Cheerleader, yeah.
(laughing)
- And me.
And I was gonna be a stewardess.
And even you gonna be a singer.
And you are a singer.
You're the only one that
left and really did it.
God it's just so great.
- Do you ever see
Jackie anymore?
- No.
She has two kids.
And then her husband got shot
in a motel with another woman.
- [Caroline] Oh I'm
sorry to hear that.
- I know that was really sad.
- Well Jodie I'm glad to
see you're happy.
I mean Kyle seems really nice.

be the next day, next week.
Next year.
- Yeah.
What about California?
- [Caroline] California?
- Yeah what's it like, it's
different from out here right?
- Well.
From the day girls are
born here in Texas
we're always taken care of.
We're always looked
after and protected
because we're the only
piece of property
that a man has left to defend.
I mean a woman who needs
space for herself
gets out of Texas.
It's a great place to be from
and it's a great place
to come home to
but ya gotta leave it first.
Before it smothers ya.
- Where are the ladies?
- Beats me.
Hey Jodie, how y'all
doing in there?
- So you have to come and
see me sometime.
- Oh I'd love to, we got
vacation
time coming up pretty soon
so that oughta be fun.
- That'd be super.
- What you yellin' about?
- We ain't bein' very
nice honey we got company.
I mean it ain't every
night we get to entertain
a genuine big time
Hollywood celebrity asshole.
- Friends, me and Austin here'd
rather get burned at the stake
then let you get a bad buy at
Richardson Covered Wagon land.
Right now you can save
hundreds even thousands
on all makes and models
of mobile homes.
We have what you want in stock--
- How many of them palaces
you reckon you'll sell
off that old commercial?
- Oh I don't know.
A couple of dozen or so
this weekend.
- [Kyle] God damn.
- I could be using you
in sales Kyle.
I got this deal on a
Win coming up from Waco.
Hell I'm just waiting right
now to hear from the banks.
- Oh I know nothing about
selling no mobile homes.
- Oh hell you didn't know
nothing about oil rigs
or construction or
building fences
but you learned didn't ya.
- Yeah well I can do that,
I'm good with my hands.
- Good with your head
too dumb butt
if you listen to me I'll teach
ya how to make money with it.
- I don't wanna be no
salesman Royce.
- Oh now, all that
can change now.
I'm only your brother
and I love ya
and I'm just trying to
help you out.
- Yeah I know, appreciate it.
- I know you do.
I was meaning to tell ya,
you know when I finish
that commercial
that damn dumb vulture shits
all over my tailor man.
- I guess he's just
partial to you Royce.
- Ain't they all.
Now remember that
proposition I made ya
I want ya to think about it.

to Minnie and the kids.

Kyle all we need

that goes through life
screwing itself.
(gentle violin music)
(laughing)
- That ain't bad see
he can do it.
Let me give you some
information now.
One out of every 14 Texans
live in a mobile home.
Mobile homes is as American
as little red schoolhouses
and log cabins Kyle.
- Royce,
I ain't going to Waco to sell
them damn things for you.
- Kyle you do me a
favor will ya,

in the god damn mirror will ya?
You look just like I did
a few years ago wasn't it.
I used to hang out in them bars,
put them quarters in them
jukeboxes playing cowboy,
isn't that right baby?
- Mm hmm.
- You remember how much
you loved it?
- Hell yeah, sure.
Everybody's gotta throw a
little party once in awhile
but then you settle down,
you start taking on
responsibility.
- Jodie dear, you could
wear nice clothes
and quit that job
answering the phone.
Just take your place
as a homemaker
supporting your husband
after you get married.
- That's right mama.
Wife is important.
- Oh darling, I just
had it done.
- I'm sorry baby shit
you always have it done.
You remember how daddy
used to work me
like a god damn
Mississippi nigger
waxing them cars for $5 a day?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
You know what I did?
I turned that used car lot
into the biggest mobile
dealership in three counties.
What do you think daddy
would think of that right now
if he was alive?
- He'd be real proud of you
Royce, I'm sure he would.
- Be god damned
proud of me Kyle.
- Come on Jodie let's go.
- What's the matter
little brother?
Don't you wanna be a success?
- You know I about had
enough of you
crawling over my back
for one day.
- Horse shit.
All I'm tryin' to do is help.
I'm making you a proposition
to make something of
yourself for once.
- Royce, I don't want
your help okay.
- Over here darlin'!
Come on hun over here.
- [Lucille] Hey!

Your brother's a fine man.

(Kyle exasperatedly sighs)
(grunts)
(loudly sighs)

Yeah, Jesus Christ!
Holy cow.
- Is this the way I raised you?
- No ma'am.
- Is this the way I
taught you to live?
- No mama.
- A life of sin and shame.
Moral degradation and lies,
is it?
- [Jodie] No ma'am.
- [Lucille] Is it my own
daughter, is it?
- [Jodie] No mama.
- My own daughter.
Is that the way I
taught you to live?
I'm asking you a question!
- No mama!
- You gave your heart to Jesus
when you were nine years old.
Now look at you.
- Mom I do love Jesus.
But I'm not nine
years old anymore.
I go to work and I'm
a grown woman.
And I'm living my life
for me, Jodie Lynn Palmer,
that's who I'm living
my life for.
(Lucille crying)
And I love Kyle.
I love Kyle and he
loves me mama.
And that's not a sin.
That's something
very special mom
and your just gonna
have to understand that.
Do you understand?
(screams)
Kyle.
- Hm?
- Kyle I gotta talk to ya.
- Go ahead I'm listening.
- Well put down the magazine.
Come on are you gonna
put down the magazine
so I can talk to ya?
- Okay, go ahead.
- I got accepted as an
airline stewardess.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Well they want me.
To come to Los Angeles
for training.
I mean California's a terrific
place for you too babe.
I mean they got a lot of
high payin' jobs
and with your skills you
won't have any trouble at all.
- I ain't gonna leave
Texas never.
Neither are you.
- Kyle now you just take a look
out that window right there.
That ain't Wyatt Earp
and Doc Holiday
walkin' down the street anymore.
That's Coldwell Banker and
Exxon and Kentucky Fried Chicken
and there ain't hardly
anything left of Texas anymore.
- What's the matter
with you Jodie?
You want to leave me?
You don't love me anymore?
- Oh Kyle.
Kyle you know I love you.
And it's because I love you
I want us to get out of here.
'Cause we got our whole
lives ahead of us
and if we stay we're
just gonna rot
that's all I just want
you to understand babe.
- Suppose I went to Waco
and worked for my brother.
Well that'd be a step Kyle
but I don't want you to do
anything that'll make ya unhappy
and then, that's just...
- Ah screw it I'll
give him a call.
Now that we got that
settled let's go celebrate.
- Kyle I'm not going to
the Stallion tonight.
- Jodie you done got your
period or what?
- Kyle I just don't wanna go,
I'd rather stay here
and read or somethin'.
- Honest to god Jodie I don't
know what your problem is.
I think you been reading
that Ms. Magazine too much.
- Kyle I'm not going to
the Stallion anymore.

Hey Kyle?
What the hell am I?
What am I?
I'm a cannon ball!
Whee!
(smashing)
Oh god,

(groaning)
I really hurt myself Kyle.
Oh shit.
Okay.
(moans) Dammit.
Oh no. Agh.
- So what'd they say?
- It's his spine.
They say they're gonna
have to operate.
Listen why don't you go
on home and get some sleep
I'm gonna stay here.
- No.
I wanna stay with you.
(engine running)
- [Mr. Bridges] You're late.
Where's that other jack off?
- [Kyle] He ain't coming in.
- [Mr. Bridges] Get to work.
(machine whirring)
- Add more zinc here!
- [Kyle] Hey what did
Applebee say?

about my promotion,
when am I gonna get it?
- [Mr. Bridges] You're not!
- [Kyle] Why not?
- [Mr. Bridges] 'Cause I
don't like ya that's why.
Now get back to work.
(smashing)
Gah!
Richardson you're fired!
- [Nurse] Don't be too long.
No more than five minutes.
- Hey corndog.
- Go away.
- Ha.
Well I'm sure gonna have
a hell of a time
wheeling you in and out
of that old honky tonk.
Hey the doctors say that
you're gonna be all right
in a couple months.
The worse that can happen to ya
is you're gonna have
some kind of limp.
- For the rest of my life?
- Well hell all cowboys limp.
- Get out of here Kyle, go on.
Leave me alone.
(door shuts)
- You know in Texas one in 14
people live in a mobile home.
A new built house in Texas will
cost you all kinds of money.
But you can purchase a
manufactured
home like this one here
for $36,000 dollars.
A mobile home is the answer.
- What about property
tax who pays for them?
- Property tax?
Well I suppose sir that
would depend on the size
of your home and the amount
of property that you have.
But you can rent a lot
in Chapperelle Village
for only $25 a month and
that way when you move
you can take your home with ya.
- [Woman] We's just lookin'.
- My name is Kyle.
We'll even throw in a welcome
mat with your initials on it.
- Initials?
- Initials, wonderful yeah.
- [Kyle] Yes a mobile
home is the answer.
(moaning)
(knocking)
- Yeah, come on in.
- Hope I'm not
interrupting anything.
- No darling.
- Kyle's out front.
- Yeah I know.
I wanted to come in and talk
to you for a minute if I could.
- Well, come on in.
- Thanks.
- How you doing darling.
You look pretty.
Take that jacket for ya?
- [Jodie] Yeah.
- Beautiful hair.
- Oh thank you.
- Sit down there now.
Make yourself comfortable.
You wanna drink?
- Uh, turkey coke will be fine.
- Alright, turkey and coke.
You got it.
Is that your usual?
- Oh well, sometimes you know,
yep.
- I tell ya I used to drink it
then I'd wake up in the morning
walking sideway like a
damn spider so I switched.
(Jodie chuckles)
You want some ice in there.
- Yeah a couple pieces please.
- Alright.
It's a nice surprise.
Now tell me what can
I do you for?
- Well I come to
talk about Kyle.
- Yeah, well what about him?
- Well Royce, you know what
I really think Kyle needs
is just to move to
another state.
- Whoa whoa nelly.
I'll tell you one thing
and that ain't two.
That there ain't no other
state but Texas.
- Oh (lightly laughs)
I know that.
But I just don't think
he's gonna be too happy
selling these mobile homes.
It's just not...
- He probably won't be.
He'll probably hate it.
What's the difference?
We all hate it.
My salesmen hate it, I hate it.
It's a whore's game and
you're in it for the pay.
- But all this time you
been tellin' Kyle
to come on into
business with you.
Why?
Just so he can be as
unhappy as you are?
- Yeah, why not?
- 'Cause he's your brother
and you supposed to love him.
- Let me tell you
something darling.
Kyle's a big boy.
And Kyle can take
care of himself.
Your number one worry is Jodie.
You take care of Jodie.
- Yeah well Jodie can
take care of herself too.
- Now I'm sure she can.
I bet she can just about
get anything she wants.
- You know Roy, you know you
got a real nice wife now.
- [Royce] I know that.
- Yeah, and three fine kids
I really like 'em.
- [Royce] I love 'em.
- No I do like 'em
- I love 'em.
- but I came here
- Come here, come here,
come here.
- to talk about Kyle.
- I know, come here.
- So I'm, no I'm,
- come here, come here,
listen to me, listen to
me, listen to me now.
- Come on Royce now this isn't
- Kyle is a fuck up,
- come on this isn't funny,
it's not.
- He'll always be a fuck up.
- It's not funny and you..
Let me go!
(screaming)
Royce for gods sakes.
- Just come on, come on.
- (screams) No!
(screaming)
(rustling)
Oh god stop it!
(crying)
Stop! No!
(whimpering)
(crying)
(Royce yells)
Please stop!
- Damn you.
Little bitch!

a Dallas Cowboy
cheerleader.
- Cheerleader, yeah.
(laughing)
- And me.
And I was gonna be a stewardess.
And even you gonna be a singer.
And you are a singer.
You're the only one that
left and really did it.
God it's just so great.
- Do you ever see
Jackie anymore?
- No.
She has two kids.
And then her husband got shot
in a motel with another woman.
- [Caroline] Oh I'm
sorry to hear that.
- I know that was really sad.
- Well Jodie I'm glad to
see you're happy.
I mean Kyle seems really nice.

be the next day, next week.
Next year.
- Yeah.
What about California?
- [Caroline] California?
- Yeah what's it like, it's
different from out here right?
- Well.
From the day girls are
born here in Texas
we're always taken care of.
We're always looked
after and protected
because we're the only
piece of property
that a man has left to defend.
I mean a woman who needs
space for herself
gets out of Texas.
It's a great place to be from
and it's a great place
to come home to
but ya gotta leave it first.
Before it smothers ya.
- Where are the ladies?
- Beats me.
Hey Jodie, how y'all
doing in there?
- So you have to come and
see me sometime.
- Oh I'd love to, we got
vacation
time coming up pretty soon
so that oughta be fun.
- That'd be super.
- What you yellin' about?
- We ain't bein' very
nice honey we got company.
I mean it ain't every
night we get to entertain
a genuine big time
Hollywood celebrity asshole.
- Friends, me and Austin here'd
rather get burned at the stake
then let you get a bad buy at
Richardson Covered Wagon land.
Right now you can save
hundreds even thousands
on all makes and models
of mobile homes.
We have what you want in stock--
- How many of them palaces
you reckon you'll sell
off that old commercial?
- Oh I don't know.
A couple of dozen or so
this weekend.
- [Kyle] God damn.
- I could be using you
in sales Kyle.
I got this deal on a
Win coming up from Waco.
Hell I'm just waiting right
now to hear from the banks.
- Oh I know nothing about
selling no mobile homes.
- Oh hell you didn't know
nothing about oil rigs
or construction or
building fences
but you learned didn't ya.
- Yeah well I can do that,
I'm good with my hands.
- Good with your head
too dumb butt

ya how to make money with it.
- I don't wanna be no
salesman Royce.
- Oh now, all that
can change now.
I'm only your brother
and I love ya
and I'm just trying to
help you out.
- Yeah I know, appreciate it.
- I know you do.
I was meaning to tell ya,
you know when I finish
that commercial
that damn dumb vulture shits

- Ain't they all.
Now remember that
proposition I made ya
I want ya to think about it.

You know, I love talking to
'em and I love meeting 'em
and I think I'm pretty
good at it (lightly laughs)
so you know, being a
directory operator isn't much
but it can be
rewarding at times.
I just wish the job had
more to it you know,
it just gets in a same
ol routine all the time.
- [Interviewer] But you
like meeting new people?
- Oh yes ma'am, I do,
I just love hearing what
they have to say
I guess that's why I'd
like to be a stewardess.
Meeting all those new
people all the time
and going to all those places.
Oh I was going to be
a stewardess one time.
- [Interviewer] Oh?
You didn't put that on
your application.
- No ma'am but
Braniff accepted me
I just never could go.
- [Interviewer] Why?
- Oh well my daddy died and
I had to stay at home but...
- [Interviewer] But now?
- Oh well mama remarried this
real nice man and so she's...
- [Interviewer] So you're
prepared to move
to Los Angeles for training?
- Yes ma'am I'd just love to
live and work in California.
I'd just love to be a
woman in California.

Everybody's gotta throw a
little party once in awhile
but then you settle down,
you start taking on
responsibility.

wear nice clothes
and quit that job
answering the phone.
Just take your place
as a homemaker
supporting your husband
after you get married.

Wife is important.

Mississippi nigger
waxing them cars for $5 a day?

You know what I did?
I turned that used car lot
into the biggest mobile
dealership in three counties.
What do you think daddy

Royce, I'm sure he would.
- Be god damned
proud of me Kyle.
- Come on Jodie let's go.

Moral degradation and lies,

- [Jodie] No ma'am.
- [Lucille] Is it my own
daughter, is it?
- [Jodie] No mama.
- My own daughter.
Is that the way I

I'm asking you a question!

- You gave your heart to Jesus
when you were nine years old.
Now look at you.
- Mom I do love Jesus.
But I'm not nine
years old anymore.
I go to work and I'm
a grown woman.
And I'm living my life
for me, Jodie Lynn Palmer,
that's who I'm living
my life for.
(Lucille crying)
And I love Kyle.
I love Kyle and he

And that's not a sin.
That's something
very special mom
and your just gonna

Do you understand?
(screams)
Kyle.
- Hm?
- Kyle I gotta talk to ya.
- Go ahead I'm listening.
- Well put down the magazine.
Come on are you gonna
put down the magazine
so I can talk to ya?
- Okay, go ahead.
- I got accepted as an
airline stewardess.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Well they want me.
To come to Los Angeles
for training.
I mean California's a terrific
place for you too babe.
I mean they got a lot of
high payin' jobs
and with your skills you
won't have any trouble at all.
- I ain't gonna leave
Texas never.
Neither are you.
- Kyle now you just take a look
out that window right there.
That ain't Wyatt Earp
and Doc Holiday
walkin' down the street anymore.
That's Coldwell Banker and
Exxon and Kentucky Fried Chicken
and there ain't hardly
anything left of Texas anymore.
- What's the matter
with you Jodie?
You want to leave me?
You don't love me anymore?
- Oh Kyle.
Kyle you know I love you.
And it's because I love you
I want us to get out of here.
'Cause we got our whole
lives ahead of us
and if we stay we're
just gonna rot
that's all I just want
you to understand babe.
- Suppose I went to Waco
and worked for my brother.
Well that'd be a step Kyle
but I don't want you to do
anything that'll make ya unhappy
and then, that's just...
- Ah screw it I'll
give him a call.
Now that we got that
settled let's go celebrate.
- Kyle I'm not going to
the Stallion tonight.
- Jodie you done got your
period or what?
- Kyle I just don't wanna go,
I'd rather stay here
and read or somethin'.
- Honest to god Jodie I don't
know what your problem is.
I think you been reading
that Ms. Magazine too much.
- Kyle I'm not going to
the Stallion anymore.
- Well I am.

Now get back to work.

Gah!

- [Nurse] Don't be too long.
No more than five minutes.
- Hey corndog.
- Go away.
- Ha.
Well I'm sure gonna have
a hell of a time
wheeling you in and out
of that old honky tonk.
Hey the doctors say that
you're gonna be all right
in a couple months.
The worse that can happen to ya
is you're gonna have
some kind of limp.
- For the rest of my life?
- Well hell all cowboys limp.
- Get out of here Kyle, go on.
Leave me alone.
(door shuts)
- You know in Texas one in 14
people live in a mobile home.
A new built house in Texas will
cost you all kinds of money.
But you can purchase a
manufactured
home like this one here
for $36,000 dollars.
A mobile home is the answer.
- What about property
tax who pays for them?
- Property tax?
Well I suppose sir that
would depend on the size
of your home and the amount
of property that you have.
But you can rent a lot
in Chapperelle Village
for only $25 a month and
that way when you move
you can take your home with ya.
- [Woman] We's just lookin'.
- My name is Kyle.
We'll even throw in a welcome
mat with your initials on it.
- Initials?
- Initials, wonderful yeah.
- [Kyle] Yes a mobile
home is the answer.
(moaning)
(knocking)
- Yeah, come on in.
- Hope I'm not
interrupting anything.
- No darling.
- Kyle's out front.
- Yeah I know.
I wanted to come in and talk
to you for a minute if I could.
- Well, come on in.
- Thanks.
- How you doing darling.
You look pretty.
Take that jacket for ya?
- [Jodie] Yeah.
- Beautiful hair.
- Oh thank you.
- Sit down there now.
Make yourself comfortable.
You wanna drink?
- Uh, turkey coke will be fine.
- Alright, turkey and coke.
You got it.
Is that your usual?
- Oh well, sometimes you know,
yep.
- I tell ya I used to drink it
then I'd wake up in the morning
walking sideway like a
damn spider so I switched.
(Jodie chuckles)
You want some ice in there.
- Yeah a couple pieces please.
- Alright.
It's a nice surprise.
Now tell me what can
I do you for?
- Well I come to
talk about Kyle.
- Yeah, well what about him?
- Well Royce, you know what
I really think Kyle needs
is just to move to
another state.
- Whoa whoa nelly.
I'll tell you one thing
and that ain't two.
That there ain't no other
state but Texas.
- Oh (lightly laughs)
I know that.
But I just don't think
he's gonna be too happy
selling these mobile homes.
It's just not...
- He probably won't be.
He'll probably hate it.
What's the difference?
We all hate it.
My salesmen hate it, I hate it.
It's a whore's game and
you're in it for the pay.
- But all this time you
been tellin' Kyle
to come on into
business with you.
Why?
Just so he can be as
unhappy as you are?
- Yeah, why not?
- 'Cause he's your brother
and you supposed to love him.
- Let me tell you
something darling.
Kyle's a big boy.
And Kyle can take
care of himself.
Your number one worry is Jodie.
You take care of Jodie.
- Yeah well Jodie can
take care of herself too.
- Now I'm sure she can.
I bet she can just about
get anything she wants.
- You know Roy, you know you
got a real nice wife now.
- [Royce] I know that.
- Yeah, and three fine kids
I really like 'em.
- [Royce] I love 'em.
- No I do like 'em
- I love 'em.
- but I came here
- Come here, come here,
come here.
- to talk about Kyle.
- I know, come here.
- So I'm, no I'm,
- come here, come here,
listen to me, listen to
me, listen to me now.
- Come on Royce now this isn't
- Kyle is a fuck up,
- come on this isn't funny,
it's not.
- He'll always be a fuck up.
- It's not funny and you..
Let me go!
(screaming)
Royce for gods sakes.
- Just come on, come on.
- (screams) No!
(screaming)
(rustling)
Oh god stop it!
(crying)
Stop! No!
(whimpering)
(crying)
(Royce yells)
Please stop!
- Damn you.

to be a stewardess.
- Kyle don't you
understand anything?
- Ah, shh, look honey I'm

I admit I was dumb and
stupid and jealous.
But you know I didn't
mean nothing by it
and I'll make it up to you.
So come on baby let's go.
- Forget you baby.
You didn't trust me.
You didn't believe me.
So I bought some clothes
and I made some plans
'cause I mean something.
And what I want means something.
After I cried my heart out
you show up after all that
shit you put me through.
Well forget it Kyle.
'Cause I got an airplane
ticket and you don't.
Just go on Kyle and get outta
my life and leave me alone.
Go pull some dip shit cowgirl
out of that honky tonk
'cause I'm going to
L.A. to be a stewardess
and make something out of
my god damn life
and if you think I'm not
just to stay with you
well forget it Kyle
Richardson I don't need you.
- Hey Jodie.
- Sir I'm sorry I must
see your boarding pass.
- I'm just gonna show
the lady to her seat.
- I'm sorry.

Don't go!
Jodie don't go!
Jodie I need you.
You're all in the world

Please don't go.
Please!
- Sir you must leave.
- Jodie you can be a stewardess,
you can be a movie star,
you can be whatever the
hell you want
I won't say a word.
It's just us as long as
we're together.
Texas, California, it
