It's the first time I've danced

in three years.

- Right.

- Since my wife died.

Oh, I'm sorry.

And sing of Rosa Lee

But the Yellow Rose of Texas

beats the belles of Tennessee

Old Doc Adams, if he didn't know

somethin', he'd tell you it was nerves.

These young doctors, in air-conditioned

offices, usin' all these big words...

They tell you what you got.

I liked it better the other way.

What is it exactly you do got, Shorty?

Haemorrhoids.

Howdy, Hank.

- I said howdy, Hank.

- Howdy.

I gotta go. I gotta put my kids to bed.

- I'll give you a ride.

- I'll just be ridin' with Betty J...

I think Betty Jo is gonna need the car.

Wayne isn't old enough

for a driver's licence yet.

Come on. I'll keep my hands in my pockets.

You ever seen a man drive with his feet?

- You like workin' them combines?

- Well, I used to work in a diner.

You know, waitin' tips

and pushin' their hands away.

I miss that guy.

You ever listen to that guy?

- Radio guy that got killed.

- Oh, I just saw about it on the TV.

Yeah, well, there ain't nothin'

on the radio now, that's for sure.

There's rock'n'roll.

I hate rock'n'roll.

It gives me a headache.

I suppose you like rock'n'roll?

I hate heavy metal.

That gives me a headache.

- Hey, we got somethin' in common.

- Yeah.

Hey! Hello!

Hello!

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Daddy said to bring this. I'm Rachel.

- Well, thanks, Rachel.

Daddy said to ask you to come over

to dinner with us tonight.

- Excuse me. Dinner?

- Grandma's makin' a pot roast.

A pot roast?

She makes the best pot roast

in the whole wide world.

- What does she put in it?

- Garlic.

Garlic? You like garlic?

Yep. But if I eat too much, I get diarrhoea.

Do you ever get diarrhoea?

- I sure try not to.

- Is it fun riding up there?

- It is. You want a ride?

- Sure.

- ( CLASSICAL MUSIC )

- You got great music up here.

Wait till I tell Joey.

He's gonna get red-assed.

- Who's Joey?

- My brother.

- Hi, Shorty.

- Hi, Katie. How you doin'?

- Good.

- Good.

- Hi! I stuck my finger in the pot roast.

- Ooh, is it good?

Great. Grandma, Katie's here.

Hi. I'm Gladys. Gary's mom.

- Hi. Katie Phillips.

- That roast is all ready.

I don't know where the fellas are.

Probably tendin' to that poor old horse.

Sit yourself down.

Would you like somethin' to drink?

- She likes beer.

- Ah. I think I'll join you.

It's so darned hot.

She never lets me do anything.
