She's coming!

It's not going to be a party,

so don't blame me.

It stinks around here.

That's home. That's what I left.

They'll be back

in a little while.

Just went to get some beer.

This is great, Linda.

Come on. Come on in.

Oh, boy.

You look so big.

Go on. Say hi to your mama.

Donny, come here.

Denise, Donny,

come sit over here.

Donny? Donny, come.

It's OK, son. Go ahead.

That's such a pretty dress.

I know. Linda made it for me.

Did you get that baseball

I sent you?

You all remember Drew?

- I'm so happy to see you.

- where were you, Mama?

I was up near Oklahoma City.

I told you that.

- Are you Mama?

- I'm Mama. That's right.

Mama's going to take you

to the beach for the weekend.

Am I going?

You're going,

and we'll stay in a motel. ..

and get those little pieces

of soap all wrapped up.. .

You should have talked to me.

I got the weekend off.

I'm taking them out to Daddy's.

I talked to Linda.

You should have talked to me.

You can take them out

for a while if you want to.

Scoot through.

What am I supposed to eat here?

- French fries.

- Sh*t.

Don't say that, Dolly.

Donny,

you're not eating anything.

- I've got to use the bathroom.

- Go ahead.

Mom, can I buy a coke?

OK. Here you go.

Drew, you help Tammy.

Nobody'll see her up there.

- I couldn't go.

- You couldn't go.

Do you still sleep with Mama?

Sh*t!

Don't say that, Mama.

Don't drip it in my fries!

Old McDonald had a farm.

E-I-E-I-O

Yeah, here we are.

All right, Tammy,

don't forget your moose.

Drew, help me get her out

of the back seat, will you?

One, two, three!

Good girl!

What you got?

Kiss your mama. That a girl.

I don't want to!

I'll see you next month.

Take them in.

Pete, did you give her

our new address?

All I know is Midland, Texas,

care of the company.

- Midland?

- Yeah.

Big strike near

the New Mexico border.

I just can't picture it.

What?

How long were you

married to him?

You want to hear

something funny?

How about some for the back?

We ran off to get married.

We heard you could get a license

in Louisiana under-age.

But we couldn't,

so we came home...

we told everybody

we got married.

And we never did.

I thought you were divorced.

We're divorced, all right.

How come you got divorced

if you never got married?

Common law.

Goddamn government

fucks you coming and going.

Amazing grace.

How sweet the sound.

That saved.

A wretch like me

I once was lost.

But now I'm found.

Was bound.

But now I'm free.

I had them in the car.

I could have just headed

straight for Oklahoma.

What would you

have done with them?

I don't know.

Hey, Karen?

Joe... from the concert.

Hi. What you doing?
