THAT'S RIGHT. YOU PARK THAT MOTOR
SCOOTER IN MY SPACE ONE MORE TIME,

JENNIFER AND JOHNNY ARE
MARRIED. ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?

UH, OH, YEAH, SURE. UM, UH,

OH, BIG GUY. BIG GUY,
WAIT. I WANNA TALK TO YOU.

NO, NO. NOT NOW. I
WANNA TALK TO YOU.

WELL, I, FOR ONE, AM
NOT BUYING ANY OF THIS.

THESE TWO ARE NOT MARRIED.

THEY'RE NOT? NO.

OH, YES, WE ARE. WE
JUST KEPT IT A SECRET.

GET OUT OF HERE.

HOLD IT. NOW LISTEN. HERB, LES, WHY DON'T
YOU TAKE JOHNNY ON DOWN TO THE BULL PEN?

OH, YES. NOW, JOHNNY,
LOOK. GO GET HIM SOME WATER.

WATER OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT, ALL RIGHT?

THANK YOU, ANDY. OKAY.

ISN'T THIS WONDERFUL?
GOD, I'M THRILLED.

BYE, DARLING. BYE-BYE, DARLING.

BYE-BYE. BYE.

UH, YEAH. I GUESS YOU TWO

WITH JOHNNY IN CASE YOU NEED ME.

THANK YOU, ANDY.

SO, I GUESS THIS IS GOOD-BYE.

JENNIFER, IS THAT MAN
TREATIN' YOU ALL RIGHT?

OH, T.J., YOU HAVE
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

I JUST WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY NOW.
OH, YES. YES, YES, WE ARE SO VERY HAPPY.

YOU BE SURE TO REMEMBER ME
TO YOUR MAMA AND EVERYBODY.

HOW IS SHE ANYWAY?
OH, MAMA'S DOIN' FINE.

SHE'S STILL IN THE CORRECTIONAL
INSTITUTE UP IN SALEM, BUT SHE'S...

UH-HUH.

WELL, I'M SURE YOU'LL JUST BE
TAKING THAT BUS RIGHT BACK ON HOME.

WELL, NOW, I DON'T
KNOW, JENNIFER.

THIS IS GONNA TAKE SOME GETTIN'
USED TO... YOUR BEIN' MARRIED AND ALL.

I'M SURE THAT THERE
ARE A LOT OF GIRLS BACK

HOME WHO'D BE PROUD
TO HAVE A MAN LIKE YOU.

YOU KNOW, I TRIED TO
WRITE YOU A FEW LETTERS,

BUT I JUST COULDN'T SEEM TO GET
THE WORDS DOWN QUITE RIGHT ON PAPER.

THESE THINGS ARE HARD TO SAY.

BUT I WAS ABLE TO WRITE
SOME SONGS ABOUT IT.

I'D LIKE TO DO YOU ONE RIGHT
HERE. OH, T.J., LOOK AT MY DESK.

SEE, ALL THAT WORK
IS JUST PILED UP.

WHY, IF YOU DON'T GET GOING, YOU'RE
GONNA MISS YOUR BUS BACK HOME.

WELL, ALL RIGHT,
JENNIFER ELIZABETH.

IF THAT'S THE WAY
YOU FEEL, I'LL DO THAT.

I'LL JUST LEAVE. I'LL
GO CATCH MY BUS.

I MEAN IT.

I'M NEVER, EVER COMIN' BACK.

SWEAR TO GOD.

HEY, JOHN, JENNIFER IS MINE.

ALWAYS HAS BEEN. ALWAYS WILL BE.

I MEAN, I HAVE SQUATTER'S
RIGHTS ON JENNIFER.

HERB! I'M SORRY, HERB.

SORRY? SORRY?

- HERB, WE SHOULD
BE HAPPY FOR THEM.
- HAPPY? HAPPY?

HERB, I AM SURE THERE'S A SIMPLE
EXPLANATION FOR ALL THIS. SIMPLE?

YEAH, I'LL BE LOOKIN'
FORWARD TO HEARIN' IT. ME TOO.

JOHNNY? DARLING.

I THINK I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY.

DON'T APOLOGIZE.
JUST HOLD ME CLOSE.

- I'D LIKE AN APOLOGY.
- WELL, EVERYBODY,
IT'S REALLY A LONG STORY.

GOOD. I LIKE THEM LONG STORIES.

THAT WAS T.J. WATSON. MM-HMM.

HE'S FROM MY HOMETOWN,
ROCKTHROW, WEST VIRGINIA.

WELL, T.J. WAS MY BIG
BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND,

AND WHEN I WAS JUST A LITTLE
GIRL, HE ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM.

AND I SAID YES.

WELL, I THOUGHT WE WERE JUST
PLAYING, BUT HE TOOK ME SERIOUSLY.

AND THEN WHEN HE SHOWED UP
TODAY, WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

AND JOHNNY JUST HAPPENED
TO WALK OUT AND BE THERE,

AND HERE WE ARE.

- AND-AND T.J.'S GONE?
- YES, HE'S GONE NOW.

I'M JUST GLAD HE DIDN'T
DO ANYTHING RASH.

WELL, I GUESS THERE'S
NOTHING LEFT TO DO NOW...

BUT CONSUMMATE THE MARRIAGE.

BAILEY.

JUST WHAT... WHAT
DO YOU MEAN, "RASH"?

IS THIS GUY DANGEROUS?

OH, NO. T.J.'S REALLY VERY
SWEET ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW HIM.

THE WATSONS ARE... WELL,
THEY'RE HIGH-STRUNG.

THANK YOU ALL FOR NOT
GIVING ME AWAY. OKAY.

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO DO BUT
GO HOME AND WAIT FOR THE DIVORCE PAPERS.

LET ME HELP YOU UP.

YOU GONNA BE ALL
RIGHT? OH, YEAH.

IT'S JUST THAT SO MUCH HAS
HAPPENED IN MY LIFE LATELY,

I THINK I'LL GO POWDER MY NOSE.

JOHNNY, WOULD YOU
TAKE MY CHAIR BACK?

YES, DEAR.

WELL, OKAY. THAT WAS ALL VERY EXCITING.
LET'S JUST SAY, UH, GET BACK TO WORK, OKAY?

JENNIFER!

MR. CARLSON! LOOK, JENNIFER, IT'S
NONE OF MY BUSINESS IF YOU'RE MARRIED...

OH, I CAN EXPLAIN THAT.
OR WHO YOU'RE MARRIED TO,

BUT THAT... BIG
GUY... HE'S BACK.

WHAT? YEAH, HE'S SITTING
IN THE LOBBY SINGING.

I... I RAN INTO T.J.

HE WANTED TO PLAY ME ONE
OF HIS SONGS. VERY INSISTENT.

YOU LIKE THAT SONG? IT'S NICE.

I WROTE IT. IT'S
VERY NICE. VERY NICE.

I... WELL, I BETTER
BE GOING ALONG NOW.

WAIT A MINUTE. I'D LOVE TO STAY.

JENNIFER ELIZABETH, I
NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

UH, I'LL BE IN MY OFFICE. UH,
NO, NO, NO, NO, MR. CARLSON.

WAIT, EVERYBODY.
COME BACK. COME BACK.

UH, T.J., ALL OF THESE PEOPLE
HERE ARE LIKE MY FAMILY.

SO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO SAY
TO ME, YOU CAN SAY TO THEM TOO.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, I GOT TO THINKIN' ABOUT HOW I
CAME ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE ON THAT BUS...

TO SEE MY LITTLE DARLIN',
JENNIFER ELIZABETH.

AND THEN WHEN I GET HERE, SHE TELLS
ME THAT SHE IS MARRIED TO THIS FELLA.

YOU KNOW, I ALMOST
FORGOT I WAS A WATSON.

AND AS YOU KNOW, A
WATSON NEVER GIVES UP.

UH, UH, T.J., I... I THINK...

I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT
MY DEAR OLD PAPPY...

AND HOW THE WOMAN
THAT HE LOVED...

THE WOMAN HE WANTED
TO MARRY... MY MAMA...

WAS ALREADY MARRIED TO A
FELLA BY THE NAME OF JENKINS.

OH.

NOW, JENKINS DIDN'T
WANNA GIVE MY MAMA UP.

SO MY PAPPY, BEIN'
THE MAN THAT HE WAS,

CALLED HIM OUT.

CALLED HIM OUT.

THAT'S RIGHT. CALLED HIM OUT.

UH, TO TALK.

UH-HUH. THEN HE SHOT HIM.

NOW, JENNIFER, YOU
TELL ME YOU'RE HAPPY.

BUT I CAN'T BE TOO
SURE ABOUT THAT.

OH, BELIEVE ME, T.J.,
WE ARE JUST SO HAPPY.

I THINK I'LL JUST STICK AROUND
HERE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS...

AND MAKE SURE THAT THINGS
ARE AS YOU SAY THEY ARE.

OH, ISN'T THAT NICE? WE CAN
HAVE HIM OVER FOR DINNER, HONEY.

- ABSOLUTELY.
- HOW ABOUT TONIGHT?

TONIGHT IS GOOD. GOOD, GOOD.

WE CAN HAVE EVERYBODY
COME OVER. IT'LL BE LIKE A PARTY.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S GREAT.

AND IF THINGS ARE
AS YOU SAY THEY ARE,

EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE JUST FINE.

BUT IF THEY'RE NOT...

WELL, YOU DO REMEMBER
THAT STORY I JUST TOLD YOU...

ABOUT MY PAPPY AND A MAN
NAMED JENKINS, DON'T YOU? MM-HMM.

♪ YOU GOT THE
KNIFE I GOT THE GUN ♪

KRISHNA GROUP DOWN IN THE LOBBY.

OH. THEY GAVE ME SOME
FASCINATING LITERATURE TOO.

THIS IS REALLY VERY SWEET. I
THINK I'LL PUT THEM IN SOME WATER.

OKAY.

IS THIS A KITCHEN?

YES. WHAT DID YOU THINK IT WAS?

LOOKS LIKE A SCIENCE
EXHIBIT AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.

I HAVE A FRIEND IN THE
APPLIANCE BUSINESS.

UH, JOHNNY. NOW,
THE ICE MAKER'S IN THE

REFRIGERATOR. ICE MAKER

KEEP THE ICE BUCKET FILLED AT ALL
TIMES. ICE BUCKET FILLED AT ALL TIMES.

THE OVEN IS OVER HERE. IT
HAS THE HOT HORS D'OEUVRES.

OVEN, HOT HORS D'OEUVRES. I THOUGHT
WE'D SERVE THOSE A LITTLE LATER ON.

IN THE CABINET UNDER HERE WE HAVE THE
PEANUTS, POPCORN, CHIPS, DIP AND CHEESE.

AND OVER HERE ON THE
CART IS ALL THE LIQUOR.

AND THIS CONSOLE
OPERATES ALL THE APPLIANCES.

ALL OF THEM? THERE'S A DIFFERENT
BUTTON FOR EACH APPLIANCE.

THE FOOD PROCESSOR, THE
TOASTER OVEN, THE COFFEE MAKER,

THE CAN OPENER HERE, THE
PEANUT-BUTTER MAKER, THE MIXER...

WELL, YES. JUST IN CASE ANYBODY
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A DAIQUIRI.

DAIQUIRI... THAT'S
ON THE LIQUOR CART.

AND JUST REMEMBER,
WE ARE VERY, VERY HAPPY.

VERY HAPPY.

WHAT IF THIS DOESN'T WORK?

UH, WELL, THEN I'LL JUST
TELL T.J. THE TRUTH...

FALL WHERE THEY MAY.

WAIT A MINUTE. I'M THE CHIPS.

I MEAN... THEY'RE ADOPTED.

THEY'RE STAYING WITH FRIENDS.

RELATIVELY MATURE.

JENNIFER ELIZABETH, WHAT IN THE
WORLD IS GOIN' ON AROUND HERE?

UH...

I'M SORRY, T.J.

LET'S BE CAREFUL, DARLING.

THIS HAS ALL BEEN A LIE.
WE'RE NOT REALLY MARRIED.

YOU MEAN YOU'RE LIVIN' TOGETHER,
AND YOU'RE NOT MARRIED?

CHIPS ARE FALLING.

NO. NO, YOU SEE, WE'RE
NOT LIVING TOGETHER EITHER.

WELL, THEN WHAT
IS ALL THIS ABOUT?

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST
TELL ME STRAIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS I
DIDN'T WANNA HURT YOU.

WELL, YOU DID.

YOU ALL DID.

HEY, HOLD IT, T.J. I WANNA TALK
TO YOU ABOUT YOUR... MM-HMM.

MUSIC. JENNY-POO. JENNY.

JENNY, LET... LET
HIM GO. DON'T...

T.J. T.J., YOU CAN'T
LEAVE LIKE THIS.

THE HELL I CAN'T.

THIS IS ALL MY FAULT. I SHOULD HAVE TOLD
YOU THE TRUTH FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.

- YOU SURE SHOULD HAVE.
- UH, WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST
STEP OUT HERE FOR A MINUTE?

UH, WILL YOU JUST HOLD
THE BUTTON THERE, BUDDY?

SURE. THANK YOU.

T.J., ALL THOSE THINGS WE SAID
TO EACH OTHER BACK HOME...

WELL, THAT WAS A LONG TIME
AGO. YOU CAN'T HOLD ME TO THAT.

OH, I GUESS NOT. UH, YOU
WANNA TAKE IT ON DOWN?

THAT'S OKAY.

T.J., I AM REALLY SORRY IF I'VE
HURT YOUR FEELINGS IN ANY WAY.

WELL, HELL, THAT'S
ALL RIGHT I GUESS.

I... I HAVEN'T BEEN EXACTLY
TELLIN' YOU THE TRUTH EITHER.

REALLY?

WELL... TELL HER.

WELL, DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON...

THAT EVER WANTED TO GET OUT
OF ROCKTHROW, WEST VIRGINIA?

I WANNA BE IN THE
MUSIC BUSINESS.

I WANNA WRITE
SONGS, MAKE RECORDS.

I SENT A LETTER
DOWN TO NASHVILLE.

THEY WROTE ME BACK, AND THEY SAID
FOR ME TO SEND THEM A DEMO TAPE.

AND, WELL, I THOUGHT THAT
YOUR BEIN' IN THE RADIO BUSINESS,

YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO
HELP ME GET ONE DONE.

THAT'S THE REAL
REASON I CAME UP HERE.

OH.

WELL, UH, THEN I
FORGIVE YOU TOO.

CAN YOU HELP HIM?

I, UH... I REALLY DON'T KNOW
ANYONE IN THE RECORD BUSINESS.

BUT I'M NOT TOTALLY
WITHOUT INFLUENCE.

I'LL BET THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, IT REALLY WOULD BE NICE IF YOU
COULD HELP OUT A BOY FROM BACK HOME.

YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'LL
MAKE A TAPE OF ONE OF

YOUR SONGS, AND WE'LL
SEND IT TO NASHVILLE.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT. IS THAT IT?

DON'T WE ALL FEEL BETTER NOW?
NEXT TIME I MIGHT NOT BE HERE TO HELP.
