- JJ, you scared the life out of me!

- I been waiting for you in the car.

He works in the shop

when he ain't with Mama.

- Are all these people railroad?

- All except for the guy on the guitar.

He's the sheriff. Come on.

- Hey, Max.

- Hey, Willie.

This is Papa's room. He painted those.

It's not the best in the house.

He tried to paint it.

I like it.

Okey-doke?

Okey-doke.

Hey, Alva! Get your hot stuff out here!

- Lindsay! Lindsay Tate! I'll be back.

- We don't want you. We want Alva!

We want Alva!

We want Alva! We want Alva!

Get out of here! Get out of here,

Lindsay Tate, before I call my mama.

You just do that. Tell your mama

if Alva ain't here, we'll take her instead.

- Why, you little snip!

- Mama! Mama!

- Mama!

- What the hell are you doing?

Fire up the engines, boys! Let's go!

You stay away from those older boys

or I'll whip you!

- Willie, where you going?

- Let me go!

- Stop it!

- Alva!

- Hey, Willie. Sidney!

- What's the matter with Sidney?

Nothing that sticking his head

under the faucet won't solve.

Come on!

Alva! What you doing in the kitchen?

- We've been waiting for you.

- Bye!

- How's the party?

- Alva, where you been?

Alva, honey! Why don't you come over

here and swap words with Mr Johnson.

Hey, Mr Johnson!

Hey, JJ.

- Let me go, JJ.

- Just relax.

JJ!

- All right, baby!

- My, what a handsome couple!

Go to Mr Johnson. He's been

pestering me all night about you.

He did pay for this party as a surprise.

Mr Johnson! Here's my bad little girl.

She wants to sit beside you

and cheer you up.

- Hey, Alva, where y'all been?

- Hey! Oh, out dancing.

- A beer, Miss Alva?

- No, thanks.

I told you before, lay off Alva.

It was real nice of you

to give Mama this lovely party.

Well, I didn't do it for her.

Alva, I asked your Mama.

She says it's OK for you to go with me

to the Moonlight Casino tomorrow.

- Well, let me think about it.

- They got a real good band.

A new one, Odel Otis,

and Kansas City Steaks.

Well, I really don't know. Sidney! Hi!

- I've got to know, so that...

- Did you see Sidney? Sidney!

Thank Mr Johnson for the lovely party.

Have you had a chance to talk?

- Who turned out the lights?

- Hey, turn the lights on!

Happy birthday to you

- JJ!

- Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Hazel

Happy birthday to you

- Make a wish!

- Shhh!

- I can't!

- You've gotta make a wish!

You wish. You make a wish, Alva.

Oh, Sal! Sally, it's my birthday!

I'm 43 years old!

It's a damn shame, Haze. Have a beer.

What slob remembered, anyway?

- Come on, Alva, it's your turn!

- Make a wish, Alva.

- Wish it up, Alva!

- OK.

- Hey, Alva, how about a birthday kiss?
