How are y'all?

I am moving slow today.

Well, where's the missus?

She ain't here.

Williams!

Where you get off

wasting 12 minutes of airtime?

That sh*t ain't gonna work.

And you smell like a damn still.

All of ya.

Why, I'm sorry, Mr. Pill.

Yeah, well, that don't mean nothing to me.

I'll boot you, I swear to God I will.

We're running a business here, a**hole.

Oh, I surely know that, Mr. Pill.

Count him off.

Three, two, one.

Hey, a fine, very early good morning

to all you friends out there.

This is Hank Williams

and the Drifting Cowboys.

We're awful sorry we're

getting a late jump,

but last night, we got jumped ourselves

out on Highway 31.

Oh, yeah.

There's one more thing.

This looks like it's gonna be

our last program here at WSFA.

So, if any of you out there have enjoyed it,

we'd sure like to hear from ya.

You just write us and let us know.

Hey, Lycrecia, don't you love this book?

That's her cowboy.

I dreamed about you, baby

Even though...

Oh, bless you, honey.

You let me go

- Look at his hat.

- Honey, what you think?

I'd like a hat like that.

How long's it been

since Lycrecia saw her daddy?

Well, he's gonna stop by next week

when she's at Mom and Dad's.

Oh, my heart is oh so heavy

And these tears

No longer glow

Come on. Eat-up time.

I'm done dreaming

About you, baby

All because you let me go

So?

It's fine, baby.

It's fine?

Yeah. Fine.

Well, how's the stew?

It's fine.

Everything's fine, then, huh?

Just fine.

You know, if it's fine,

it doesn't need any ketchup.

But it isn't that fine.

The food or the song?

Well, they both

need a little ketchup, honey.

Screw you, Hank.

- Oh, come on, Auds.

- You come on.

You always do this.

Do what?

Well, you know...

Like you said that I could sing with you

on the program.

And there's been none of that at all.

Okay, fine.

What's that mean?

Geez, just what I said it means, okay?

Hi.

What are you writing, Hank?

Uh, maybe a little poem to the Lord.

Might turn into a song.

Can always use a new one.

Really?

Are you the religious sort?

Well, when I was a boy,

I spent a lot of time in church

listening to gospel.

You still are a boy.

You think so, Ellie?

Why don't you write me a poem?

Well, uh...

I might have to get to

know you a little better.

Get lost, Ellie.

Did you see Howard Pill called?

Hank's got to come back. He has a contract.

That's true, we do.

And it's a good job right now.

He also said he'd like me

to do some singing on the show.

That is not true.

Geez,

I was doing pretty good here.

Few more shows, I want to be done with him.

It's not so easy to get out of.

Well, he can do what he wants, Lillie.

What is this, a schoolyard?
