I WANT TO... I WANT TO

THANK YOU, GUYS

FOR BACKING UP
MY LITTLE ANGEL HERE.

WHERE'S MY ENGINEER?
WHERE'S MY ENGINEER?

CLYDE, CLYDE,
THAT WAS A REAL JOB.

YOU DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR ANOTHER TAKE.

RALPH, MAE, I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

TOM, MARY,
WHAT FRIENDS!

AND CATHY, C...
OH, SHE'S STILL IN THE BOOTH.

AND... AND LORETTA,

AND MY OWN,
MY VERY OWN

SWEET LITTLE ANGEL.

MY SUPERSTAR.

LORETTA?

OH, MY GOODNESS.

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

OH, NOW WOULD YOU ALL
STOP FUSSING OVER ME

LIKE I WAS SOME LITTLE
BABY LAMB

STILL SPINDLY
ON ITS LEGS?

I AM FINE.

WILL YOU TELL ME
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS FINE

ABOUT FAINTING DEAD AWAY
RIGHT IN MY ARMS?

NEVER SEEMED
TO BOTHER HIM MUCH BEFORE.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

LOOK, I FAINTED.

NOW WHAT'S SO ALL FIRE SPECIAL
ABOUT THAT, HUH?

I NEVER FAINTED.
I THINK IT'S ROMANTIC.

KIND OF, ISN'T IT?
YEAH.

YOU KNOW HOW THEY GET
ALL WORRIED OVER

AND PAT YOUR ARM.
DID HE PAT MY HAND?

HE DID.
I THINK, HE DID.

WELL, OF COURSE,
I PATTED IT.

I WAS WORRIED SICK.

OH, WELL.
LOOK, YOU KNOW,

I LOVE THE WAY THEY DO THAT
IN THEM OLD FASHIONED MOVIES,
YOU KNOW.

EXCEPT IT'S
ALWAYS ENGLISH PEOPLE.

I THINK ENGLISH PEOPLE
MUST HAVE REAL THIN BLOOD.

YEAH.

HOW DID YOU KNOW TO FAINT
STRAIGHT DOWN LIKE THAT?

I DON'T KNOW. I... I GUESS
I JUST FOLLOWED MY INSTINCTS.

WELL, YOU LOOKED BEAUTIFUL.

THE POINT IS
HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW?

OH, TERRIFIC, HONEY.
I MEAN, I... I...

THIS IS MY MOST TERRIFIC NIGHT
THIS SIDE OF OUR HONEYMOON.

WELL, MAYBE
NOT THAT TERRIFIC,

BUT, REALLY, I JUST...
I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

AND, HONEY, I LOVE YOU AND
THANK YOU FOR WORKING SO HARD

TO MAKE IT ALL
HAPPEN FOR ME.

YOU KNOW, MARY,
WHEN I'M OUT THERE
MAKING MUSIC, YOU KNOW,

AND THE MUSICIANS

AND THE MICROPHONES
ARE ON AND EVERYTHING.
YEAH.

OOH, I FEEL SO SPECIAL.
YEAH?

THEN I LOOK OVER
AT CHARLIE

AND I THINK ABOUT HOW
HE WORKED OVERTIME
AND DOUBLE SHIFTS

AND EVERYTHING
JUST SO IT COULD ALL HAPPEN.

THAT'S NICE.

AND I LOVE YOU FOR IT, HONEY.
I REALLY DO. THAT'S ALL.

I WANT YOU TO
GET SOME SLEEP NOW.

YOU THINK YOU CAN
GET SOME SLEEP NOW?

NO.

HONEY,
IT'S ALMOST 7:00.

I WANT YOU TO GET
A LITTLE REST.

AND THEN I WANT...
THEN I WANT YOU
TO GO SEE THE DOCTOR.

WHAT FOR?

WHAT FOR? SO...

SO WE CAN MAKE SURE
THAT YOU DON'T FAINT AGAIN

WHEN SOMETHING SERIOUS
IS GOING ON.

AND LISTEN,
I'D BETTER BE GOING ANYWAY

'CAUSE TOM'S
PROBABLY WAITING FOR ME.

THAT'S WHO'S MISSIN'!
I KNEW SOMEBODY WAS MISSIN'.

HOW'D HE LIKE
MY TUNES?

OH, HE LOVED 'EM.

OH, WELL, LISTEN, MARY,
I WANT TO THANK YOU

FOR STICKING BY ME
AND EVERYTHING

WHEN I CONKED OUT
LIKE THIS.

YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND.

OH.

AND YOU'RE THE BEST FRIEND
A GIRL EVER HAD.

OH.

YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT
TO BUTTER ME UP

SO THAT WHEN I'M INTERVIEWED
AFTER YOU'RE A BIG STAR,

I'LL SAY REAL NICE THINGS
ABOUT YOU, RIGHT?

DON'T SHE
CATCH ON FAST?

WELL, REALLY,
I DO HAVE TO GO.

BYE.

THANKS AGAIN, MARY.
OH, YOU'RE WELCOME.

BYE.

TAKE CARE.
OH. BYE, CHARLIE.

AND THANKS
FROM ME, TOO.

OH, YOU'RE WELCOME.
GOODBYE.

WELL, NOW,

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY
FOR YOURSELF, HUH?

UM, I'VE GOT TO SAY
THAT IF I GET

ALL THIS SPECIAL ATTENTION
JUST BY FAINTIN',

I BELIEVE I'LL DO IT AGAIN
SOMETIME.

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN
GET A LITTLE SLEEP?

UH-UH.

HONEY, I'D LIKE TO GET
A LITTLE SLEEP, TOO, YOU KNOW.

NO, NO, REALLY, HONEY,
OH, NOW, CHARLIE.

I GOT ABOUT... I WANT
MAYBE 45 MINUTES OR SO.

I GOT TO BE AT THE PLANT
IN A HOUR AND A HALF.

OH, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
I'M SORRY, HONEY.

WELL, BUT IF YOU THINK
THAT I'M GONNA SAY UNCLE,
YOU'RE CRAZY!

HEATHER.

HEATHER, HOW COME
YOU'RE UP SO EARLY?

I DON'T KNOW.
WE JUST ARE.

OH, I'M SORRY,
HONEY.

WE WERE GONNA
HAVE THAT TALK,

BUT THE RECORDING SESSION
LASTED SO LONG.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE
TAKEN ME.

OH, I WOULD HAVE, HONEY,
BUT YOU HAVE SCHOOL

AND YOU HAVE TO BE ALERT.

YOU HAVE HOUSEWORK.

THAT'S A VERY
GOOD POINT, HEATHER.

HAD YOUR BREAKFAST,
MA'AM?

NO, I HAVEN'T HAD TIME.

HAVE YOU HAD
YOUR BREAKFAST?

YES, MA'AM.

INSTANT MILK
WITH A PROTEIN SQUARE.

OH, GOOD.
THAT'S A GOOD BREAKFAST.

ARE YOU UNHAPPY, UH,
AS LAST NIGHT?

COME ON, LET'S GO.

YES, MA'AM.

I MEAN, I WENT ALONG

WITH THIS
SOCIAL WORKER-PSYCHOLOGIST BIT

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO WITH GRANDPA.

MARTHA WON'T LET US
SEND HIM AWAY.

MARY THINKS
HE'S HARMLESS.

CATHY THINKS HE'S COOL.

AND THEN THEY SEND THIS DAME
WALKY, TALKY, SHACKY,

WHATEVER HER NAME IS.

AND SHE FALLS
IN LOVE WITH HIM.

I'LL TELL YOU,
THIS WORLD IS GETTING CRAZY.

- HI, GEORGE.
- HI, CHARLIE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH TOM?

TOM IS ON VACATION.

AND YOU'RE ONE OF
THE CRAZIEST OF THEM ALL.

ME? WHAT DID I DO?

STAYING OUT ALL NIGHT
MAKING RECORDS.

A MAN YOU AGE
SHOULD BE HOME BY 10:00

SOAKING HIS PROSTATE OR
WATCHING HIS HAIR FALL OUT.

WHAT'S TOM'S GOT HERE?
HE'S NOT EATING IT.

IF IT'S TUESDAY,
IT'S A BALONEY
AND CHEESE SANDWICH.

I WOULDN'T LET LORETTA MAKE ME
ANYTHING THIS MORNING.

GIVE ME BACK
MY LUNCH.

COME ON, TOM,
WAKE UP.

THE TABLE'S ON FIRE.

I'M HERE.
I'M HERE.

I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM
WHEN HE'S MY AGE.

TOM?

WHAT?

NOW TAKE IT EASY ON HIM.
LEAVE HIM ALONE.
HE HAD A HARD NIGHT.

YOU KNOW, JUST LISTENING TO
LORETTA'S ENOUGH

TO WEAR MOST MEN OUT.

LOOKS LIKE, UH,
CHEESE AND BALONEY TO ME.

AND SHE WAS REALLY
WOUND UP, YOU KNOW.

SHE FAINTED DEAD AWAY
IN MY ARMS
WHEN WE FINISHED.

NO KIDDIN'?
UH-HUH.

SHE SAYS SHE'S
ALL RIGHT NOW, THOUGH.

BUT I'M GONNA GET HER
TO THE DOCTOR ANYWAY.

I MEAN, WE WANT TO BE
DOUBLE SURE

BEFORE WE HEAD
FOR NASHVILLE NEXT WEEK.

YOU'RE REALLY GONNA
DO THAT THING, HUH?

WHAT DO YOU THINK WE MADE
THE DEMONSTRATION RECORD FOR?

YOU'RE GONNA QUIT YOUR JOB
AND EVERYTHING?

CAN'T TAKE IT WITH ME.

YEAH, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU CAN'T PACK
A 4 TON FORKLIFT
IN A U-HAUL TRAILER.

I WON'T NEED IT.

WHEN WE MAKE MUSIC ROW,

IT'S GONNA BE EASY STREET
ALL THE WAY.

I HOPE SO, CHARLIE.

THE WAY YOU'VE BEEN
WORKING YOUR TAIL OFF,

YOU DESERVE SOMETHIN'.

THAT'S THE BEST DAMN
INVESTMENT I EVER MADE.

YOU KNOW THAT DEMO WE MADE
LAST NIGHT IS PURE GOLD.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW MUCH YOU CAN MAKE

FROM JUST ONE HIT RECORD?

NO, I DON'T.

WELL, NEITHER DO I.
BUT IT'S A LOT.

THE HITS ARE WHAT COUNT.

HITS, HITS.
DIMAGGIO HIT 56 IN A ROW

AND THEN MARRIED
MARILYN MONROE.

AND THAT'S THE WAY THEY GO.

MEET MY SON-IN-LAW.

MR. NON-POETRY
IN MOTION.

HEY, TOM, CHARLIE
JUST FOUND A PINK SLIP

IN YOUR
BALONEY SANDWICH.

WHERE? WHAT?
GIVE ME BACK MY SANDWICH.

OH, COME ON.
THAT'S A TERRIBLE...

THAT'S THE LOUSIEST THING
YOU EVER SAID TO ME.

GIVE ME BACK MY SANDWICH.
COME ON, IT'S BALONEY
AND CHEESE.

I'M SORRY.

WHERE ARE YOU
RUSHING OFF TO?

OH, I'M GONNA START BACK
TO WORK A HALF HOUR EARLY,

SO I CAN QUIT EARLY
AND PICK UP LORETTA.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING, TOM?
WHAT?

HE KEEPS THAT UP,
HE'S GONNA HAVE A CORNEA.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE
A CORONARY.

OR THAT LORETTA'S
GONNA GIVE HIM A HERNIA.

ONE OF THE TWO.
YOU MARK MY WORDS.

WHERE'S CHARLIE?

THERE'S A PHONE CALL.

HIS WIFE JUST
PASSED OUT AGAIN!

I'M SORRY, BRAD.
MY FATHER'S RIGHT.

THE GLAMOROUS WORLD
OF HIGH FASHION MODELING

IS ALL TO HEADY FOR ME.

I'M GOING BACK TO
MY MEDICAL STUDIES
IN FLETCHER FALLS,

WHERE I CAN BE MYSELF.

♪

TUNE IN AGAIN TOMORROW
FOR ANOTHER LIFE

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...

HI, MARY.
IS IT OVER YET?

YEAH. SHE'S GOING BACK
TO FLETCHER FALLS

TO STUDY MEDICINE.

OH, I THINK
THAT'S SILLY.

I'D MUCH RATHER
BE A HIGH FASHION MODEL.

YEAH.

WHAT ARE YOU MAKIN'?
MARBLE CHIFFON FROTH.

IT'S JUST ISN'T
FROTHING, YOU KNOW.

HAVE YOU EVER
STOPPED TO THINK

HOW MANY THINGS THERE ARE
TO CONTEND WITH IN LIFE?

SOMETIMES.
NOT JUST NOW.

LARRY WAS TELLING ME
ALL ABOUT IT.

WHO?

LARRY. REMEMBER
LAST NIGHT, LARRY?

OH, YEAH, I'M SORRY.
I'M JUST A LITTLE TIRED.

IT'S HARD FOR ME
TO KEEP UP.

MARBLE CHIFFON FROTH?
YEAH.

WHERE'S THE MARBLE?

WELL, THAT'S
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS.
HMM.

HOW COME YOU
LOOK SO FRESH?

YOU WERE UP
AS LATE AS I WAS.

PROBABLY LATER.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
WHERE DID YOU GO

AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING?

MA AND PA'S.

YOU TOOK HIM HOME?

NO, MA AND PA'S
BIDE-A-WEE INN.

NOT THE ONE IN TOWN,
THE ONE ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

WELL, THE ON THE HIGHWAY
HAS WATERBEDS.

YOU MEAN, YOU CAN
JUST SAY THAT TO ME?

AND CLOSED CIRCUIT T.V.

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS WONDERED
ABOUT WATERBEDS.

I TRIED ONE ONCE.

I WAS IN A STORE.

BUT I BANGED UP
BOTH OF MY SHINS
VERY BADLY

AS I WAS TRYING TO
CLIMB OUT OF THE THING.

THEN YOU PROBABLY
WEREN'T USING IT RIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
I WASN'T USING IT RIGHT?

TELL ME. WHAT'S IT LIKE?
WHAT'S IT LIKE?

WELL, IT'S... IT'S LIKE NOTHING
SPECIAL, REALLY. I MEAN IT'S...

WELL, WHAT IS IT?
IS IT LIKE DOWN?
NO.

I'VE HAD MY HEAD
ON A DOWN PILLOW,
BUT NEVER MY WHOLE BODY...

IT'S LIKE ON
ROLLING WAVES OF...
ROLLING WAVES OF WHAT?

OF...
OF WHAT?

OF... OF...
OF WHAT?

YOU SHOULD KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

OH, I DON'T KNOW,

I THINK MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.
I JUST...

I SHOULD RE-READ THOSE BOOKS

I TOOK OUT
FROM THE LIBRARY.

CORNY AND BORING.

REALLY?
DO YOU REALLY THINK SO? WHY?

BECAUSE BOOKS ARE
CORNY AND BORING.

I MEAN,
IF YOU WANT NOVELTIES,

YEAH?

THEN YOU SHOULD ORDER
SOME OF THOSE NOVELTIES,

LIKE THE KIND
THAT THEY ADVERTISE
IN THE BACK OF MAGAZINES.

I COULD NEVER LOOK
THE POSTMAN IN THE FACE.

WELL, HE WOULDN'T KNOW
WHAT WAS INSIDE.

WELL, OF COURSE, I COULD
ALWAYS PICK UP MY MAIL
LATER ON IN THE DAY.

I AM TIRED. I'M VERY TIRED.

OH.

MRS. HARTMAN.

YES, DETECTIVE JOHNSON.
THIS IS MY SISTER CATHY.
HI.

WHERE'S HEATHER?

I'M ALONE,
THAT'S WHY SHE'S NOT WITH ME.

RIGHT. NOT IF YOU'RE ALONE.
SO WHERE IS SHE?

I, UH... I THOUGHT I'D
CHECK WITH YOU FIRST

BEFORE PUTTING IN THE ALARM.

ALARM?

THEN SHE DIDN'T COME HOME?

NO.

MRS. HARTMAN, I'M...
I'M SORRY TO TELL YOU THIS,

BUT, UH,
YOUR DAUGHTER IS MISSING.

HEATHER?

SHE, UH, WENT INTO
THE LITTLE GIRL'S LAVATORY

AT SCHOOL
AND, UH, FAILED TO RETURN.

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.
HEATHER'S MISSING.

"DO NOT SPRAY CHEMICAL
NEAR EYES.

"AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN.

"MAKE SURE KITCHEN IS
WELL VENTILATED.

EXCESSIVE INHALATION

AND HER LINE'S TIED UP.

SO COULD YOU TELL HER
I'M GONNA BE A LITTLE LATE?

WELL, YES,
BUT... BUT WHAT'S WRONG?

IS GEORGE ALL RIGHT?

OH, NO, EVERYBODY'S FINE.

WELL, MAYBE HER LINE'S
