Lula tromps it and throws out an even larger cloud of dust.

20. INT. CAPE FEAR HOTEL - DAY

Sailor and Lula lay on the bed in the Cape Fear Hotel listening to the

fan creak.

LULA:

Did you ever think somethin’ like

about the wicked witch of the east

comin’ flyin’ in?... Did you ever

think somethin’ and then later think

you’ve said it out loud to someone?

SAILOR:

I really did miss your mind while I

was out at Pee Dee, honey. The

rest of you, too, of course. But

the way your head works is God’s own

private mystery. What was it you

was thinkin’?

LULA:

Well, I was thinkin’ about smokin’

actually... My mama smokes Marlboros

now, used to be she smoked Kools?

I stole ’em from her beginnin’ in

about sixth grade. When I got old

enough to buy my own, I bought those.

Now I’ve just about settled on Mores,

as you probably noticed? They’re longer.

SAILOR:

I guess I started smokin’ when I was

about six... My mama was already

dead from lung cancer...

LULA:

What brand’d she smoke?

SAILOR:

Camels, same as me... Guess both

my mama and my daddy died of smoke

or alcohol related illness.

LULA:

Gee, Sailor. I’m sorry, honey. I

never would have guessed it.

SAILOR:

It’s okay. I hardly used to see

them anyway. I didn’t have much

parental guiding. The public defender

kept sayin’ that at my parole hearin’.

He was a good ol’ boy, stood by me...

Even brought me some cartons of

cigarettes from time to time.

LULA:

I’d stand by you, Sailor ... through

anything.

SAILOR:

Hell, peanut, you stuck with me after

I planted Bob Ray Lemon. A man can’t

ask for more than that.

Lula pulls Sailor over to her and kisses him soft on the mouth.

LULA:

You move me, Sailor, you really do.

You mark me the deepest.

Sailor pulls down the sheet, exposing Lula’s breasts.

SAILOR:

You’re perfect for me, too.

LULA:

You remind me of my daddy, you know?

Mama told me he liked skinny women

whose breasts were just a bit too

big for their bodies. He had a long

nose, too, like theirs. Did I ever

tell you how he died?

SAILOR:

In a fire, as I recall.

LULA:

Started he couldn’t remember things?

Got real violent? Mama kept tellin’

me it was on account of lead poisoning

from cleanin’ the old paint off our

house without usin’ a mask... But

I don’t know. Seems like his brain

just fell apart in pieces.

21. INT. FORTUNE HOUSE - KITCHEN - NIGHT

CLYDE FORTUNE tears a door off the kitchen cabinets and strews the

cabinet contents all across the counter and floor. He puts his fist

through the kitchen window. He leaps on the counter and bats the

kitchen ceiling light - smashing it. He kicks over the refrigerator.

CLYDE:

F***IN’ B*TCH!!!!
