You know who's got hands?

The devil.

And he uses them for holding.

I ain't got no room in my house

for no devil's spawn.

Be careful. Before you say something

you regret for the rest of your days.

Like what?

Like "the wrong kid died"?

Oh, no! No!

It's okay.

It's okay, Mama, settle down.

Pa's right.

Springberry ain't big enough

for me no more.

I reckon it's time for Dewey Cox

to move on.

But you're only 14.

Mama, I love you.

But I don't need nobody.

All I need is my music.

I seen my path today,

and I'm gonna take it.

And someday,

I'll make my masterpiece...

...and you'll all be proud of me.

Just like you were of Nate.

Can I come, Dewey?

Of course you can, Edith.

You're my girlfriend.

- I am?

- Yeah, silly.

I pointed at you in the audience.

Did you hear that?

I'm Dewey's 12-year-old girlfriend!

You're the most talented man

I've ever seen in my whole life.

And you will never get anything

but love and support from me...

...for you and your dreams

the rest of my life.

Well, then, go on.

Get out of this house.

Before I cut your dreams in half

like you cut mine in half.

Goodbye, Pa.

Just wait till you see

what happens now.

Here we go.

Ma and Pa leave home

All the kids get glad

You know our house's

Mr. Shad! Mr. Shad!

Wow, that was really great.

Hey, I play a little guitar.

If you ever need...

- Dewey!

- Yes, sir?

I pay you to mop,

not bother the band.

My customers come to dance erotically,

and they need a clean floor to do it on!

Do your job or I'll find

somebody who will.

Yes, sir.

Lonesome blues

Dewey, will you cut out that racket?

I'm trying to feed your child!

How am I supposed to make it as

a famous musician if I don't practice?

Will you stop talking
