Loretta appears destined to a life of homemaking, but Doolittle recognises his wife's musical talent, and buys her a guitar as an anniversary present one year.

I thought you looked just

like a little toy soldier.

Hey, now, you listen here, I went

ashore over yonder at D-day plus four

and I stayed in combat until the

day the damn thing was over.

I wasn't no

little ol' toy soldier.

You know what

D-day is, don't you?

(CHUCKLES)

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.

(PIGS SQUEALING)

(DOG BARKING)

CLARA:
Loretty, honey, take

Peggy Sue in and feed her.

Come on.

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

Stranger coming!

Stranger coming!

Stranger coming!

CLARA:
What is it?

I told you I'd get

this thing up here, gal.

You gotta take

a ride with me now.

Hey, Bill.

BILL:
Hey, Doo.

(HORN HONKING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(GASPS)

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.

(DOG BARKING)

(JEEP APPROACHING)

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.

(DOOR SLAMS)

(CHILD COUGHING)

Y'all get to bed.

Go on.

(FOOTSTEPS RETREATING)

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, Mommy.

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?

'Cause 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.

Y'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.
